Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 281 Sudden Overture

Mu Changge said calmly: "Although my daughter-in-law has never seen the empress dowager before, I have heard about this peach forest and the empress dowager's loyalty."

The peach grove Mu Changge mentioned was specially ordered by the late emperor to plant for the concubine and concubine.

He and the concubine's mother's family were not some prominent family, and the reason why they were able to be favored by the emperor after entering the palace was nothing more than because of their beautiful appearance.

Compared with the current Mu Changge, the Concubine He was not inferior at all, and she was even more admiring to the emperor. As soon as she entered the palace, she was favored by the late emperor.

The former emperor once praised He Taifei, whose appearance was as delicate as peach blossoms, so he ordered to reward her with such a peach forest.

The concubine and concubine who got this peach grove were naturally unparalleled in the limelight for a while, but the tree was so big that she was too popular, which inevitably aroused the jealousy of the other concubines in the harem.

After one year of the first emperor's special favor on the concubine and the concubine, the concubines in the harem couldn't suppress their resentment after all, but they didn't dare to go to the first emperor to read a book, so they went to the empress dowager to cry.

The harem concubines complained a lot, and even the former empress did not dare to say a word because of fear of being favored by the concubine.

Once this soaring resentment was uncovered, it would naturally arouse the empress dowager's dissatisfaction, but because of the face of the late emperor and his obsession with the concubine, he didn't dare to make heavy moves. The concubine was whipped twenty times, and punished to copy scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for three months.

As for the peach grove that aroused the jealousy of the concubines in the harem, the Empress Dowager naturally couldn't tolerate it, and ordered her and the concubine to cut down and burn this peach grove by themselves during the three months of copying scriptures.

Naturally, Concubine He did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager, with physical pain and humiliation in her heart, she fell ill in the blink of an eye.

Those concubines who were jealous of Concubine He in the past have come to this peach forest more times since then, but none of them really wanted to visit Concubine He, all they did was to gloat, Just look at how she is in pain.

However, no one expected that this peach forest, which everyone thought would be cut down and burned, was preserved unscathed.

The reason why this peach grove was able to survive was entirely due to an assassination shortly thereafter.

When the assassin rushed into the hall, all the concubines and concubines were so frightened that they ran around, except for the concubine He, who was still covered in scars, who desperately blocked the deadly knife for the late emperor.

That knife took half of He Taifei's life, and the entire Taifei Hospital spent seven days without sleep before pulling her back from the gate of hell.

The first emperor was greatly shocked and furious, he did not hesitate to contradict the empress dowager, and wanted to kill those concubines who took the lead in slandering the empress dowager.

For the sake of the first emperor, this life-threatening fight with the concubine can be regarded as completely blocking everyone's mouths.

From then on, the first emperor loved her even more, and as for this peach grove, he naturally kept it.

However, from then on, the concubine He Dowager, who had previously swallowed her anger and treated others with kindness and tolerance, seemed to be a different person. She no longer catered to anyone, and did not have any contact with any concubine in the harem.

Three or five years later, the first emperor contracted a sudden illness and died. Before he died, he made a decree specifically for the sake of the concubine, that the future emperor should treat the concubine well no matter what. Request, as long as it does not violate the righteousness of the country, she must be satisfied.

Because of the late emperor's will, and because she really respected her selfless devotion to the sword, the emperor respected her and the concubine very much, no matter how heavy the affairs in the court were, he would definitely find time to visit her.

And these years with the concubine, except for the emperor, they have not communicated with anyone in the harem. What they do all day long is to guard this peach grove, watching the peach blossoms bloom and lose, and watching the furry Peaches, which turned into pink, white and sweet fruits, and watched the fruit ripen and the branches and leaves wither, year after year, flowed past under her silent gaze.

But now, Concubine He is looking at Mu Changge with that kind of silent gaze. It seems that just a few silent glances like this can see her clearly.

After listening to what Mu Changge said, after a while, I saw a little smile on the face of Concubine He.

From the hint of a smile on her face, Mu Changge glanced at her, and in a daze, he seemed to be able to see a bit of the shadow of the ever-favored Hefei back then.

"So there are still people who remember this peach grove in this palace, but you are a caring girl." He Taifei looked at Mu Changge with a smile, and said.

Suyu, who followed closely behind Mu Changge, felt her heart skip a beat. She wondered if it was her own illusion. When Zihe Taifei uttered the word "wishful", there was always something that she couldn't see through. in.

Suyu's eyes quietly fell on Mu Changge again, and seeing her expression, there was still a gentle smile on her face, without any vigilance.

Seeing this, Suyu's heart was also slightly relaxed, and she secretly thought that she was a little nervous, but she was just a former concubine, and she had no enmity with her own lady, so how could there be something unclear?

"You girl, you can still get into Bengong's eyes. I don't know if you will drink alcohol, and whether you can drink this fairy peach wine from Bengong."

He Taifei smiled and said: "Since it is a temporary stay in the palace, it is much more convenient. I will order someone to send the fairy peach wine to you later. By the way, I don't see you passing by this palace on weekdays. Where are you going?"

"Back to the concubine." Mu Changge said, whether it was posture or tone, he was just right, respectful, and not so polite as to be blunt and alienated. "My daughter and the eldest princess have a very good personal relationship. I'm not feeling well, and I want to go and visit."

Hearing this, the smile in He Taifei's eyes deepened, and he nodded again and again, "Very good, you should indeed get closer to her. Just in time, this palace just ordered someone to take out a few altars of fairy peach wine, and you bring a altar to her."

While speaking, a palace servant brought over a jar of fairy peach wine, which was so small that it looked extraordinarily delicate.

Mu Changge took it over with his own hands, "My daughter is temporarily acting as the eldest princess, thank you, Empress Dowager."

Bringing Xiantao Niang, Mu Changge retired respectfully, but it was difficult to look away from her back for a while.

"She is a girl who knows how to measure." He Taifei said slowly, with a little satisfaction in her tone.

Seeing this, the emperor suggested: "If the concubine thinks she has a good eye, I can also let her come here to stay with the concubine for a while."

"That's not necessary, I'm so deserted, I'm afraid she will feel very deserted." He Taifei said, "If she can come to accompany Bengong once in a while, Bengong will be very satisfied."

What the concubine said was subtle, and it was not difficult for the emperor to understand. The emperor smiled and said: "I think that she and the concubine are very close, and she will definitely come to visit the concubine in the future."

He Toffee smiled, ordered someone to pour another glass of wine, a gust of wind blew, and the air was filled with the aroma of ripe peaches.

A moment later, the eldest princess was in the bedroom.

After taking a rest, Su Qingrou, who had recovered quite a bit, stared at the jar of wine, looking over and over again.

Seeing her like this, Mu Changge couldn't help but joked: "Why, our princess Bai'an can't even drink a jar of wine now, why should I be so greedy?"

"You don't understand." Su Qingrou raised her head and blinked her eyes, "This wine is not uncommon, and it is really extremely rare for the opportunity to give wine to the concubine."

"In recent years, there have also been those new concubines who have been favored by the palace. They have heard of the fairy peach wine with the concubine. Guess what happened?"

Su Qingrou's eyes twitched, "No matter who it is, no one who goes to Tonghe Taifei to ask for it, no one can get this fairy peach wine, and everyone will be ashamed."

"Concubine and Concubine never give people face. She kicked them all out quickly. So many people went to ask for an altar, but they couldn't get it. Now she offered to give you this altar. , Do you say it is rare or not?"

"No matter how rare it is, it's just altar wine." Mu Changge said helplessly, "I won't fight with you, just keep it for myself."

Su Qingrou sat beside her, stared at her for a few times, and said to herself: "This is too strange, I still feel something is wrong."

Mu Changge also withdrew his joking expression, and said, "I understand, the princess's worry is definitely not without reason."

In this world, everything that happened could be traced, but He Taifei's overture to her was too abrupt.

It's just... What other reasons could there be for a concubine who is already very old?
After thinking about it, Su Qingju said: "Although He Taifei has a weird temper, she is definitely not a person with any malicious intentions. If she really has a plan for getting close to you, then what is her plan?" What will it be?"

Mu Changge shook his head. It was difficult to guess this point based on guesswork alone.

But her thoughts are similar to Su Qingrou's. She is not a person with evil intentions, and there is no profit for her. The reason for doing this is difficult for even her to understand.

"You don't have to worry too much." Mu Changge comforted her, "Isn't there still you in this palace? The prince has also stayed in the palace recently, and is with the prince again. Even if something really happened, Are you still there?"

There was still a hint of worry on Su Qingrou's face, "Although I said that, it's better not to let anything happen. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart."

Feeling angry, Su Qingrou coughed again. Mu Changge hurriedly stepped forward, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her: "Princess, don't think too much, your body is just right, how can you stop for these chasing things? Is it a lot of work?"
