in the sound of swallows

Chapter 118

Qingluo sighed when she said it, she really didn't want to have any future, the emperor's heart, she thought it was out of reach in the Gu mansion, she might as well find someone she likes to live with.Qingluo has already thought about it, she is still a perfect body, and she will leave the palace when she is 25 years old, and she will not be involved in these things.

But right now she can only follow Qing Huan. After all, they are all from the same family background, so they can take care of each other.

The emperor was indeed going to Shen Guiyan's place in the evening, and he had been holding back for so long, and he had already done what was supposed to be done for Empress Dowager Wen, so Gu Chaobei felt that even if he used the child as an excuse, it was no big deal to go there.

However, just as he was leaving the imperial study room and was about to walk towards the Xiuzhuang Palace, when he passed the imperial garden, a white shadow suddenly floated past.

"What is it?" Gu Chaobei frowned, and Zhuiyun beside him hurriedly looked at it, but the imperial garden was empty and there was nothing there.

"Is the emperor's eyes dazzled?" Zhuiyun asked in a low voice.

Gu Chaobei shook his head, got off his shoulders, and walked a few steps into the imperial garden.

There was an out-of-the-box sound of strings and bamboos suddenly resounding through the garden, startling everyone.Four palace lanterns suddenly lit up on the moon viewing platform in the middle of the garden, and a woman in white descended lightly, dancing to the music.She covered her face with a light veil, her dancing posture was light and graceful, and when she raised her eyes to sweep her eyes, she was naturally full of amorous feelings.

Gu Chaobei heaved a sigh of relief. His grandma thought that the palace was going to be haunted again. It turned out that someone was too busy to stay up all night to "cut off the beard".

It took a lot of effort for Qing Huan to dress up. Knowing that Gu Chaobei likes elegant styles, she specially dressed in a dusty and generous way.Dancing a light dance can also keep the footsteps of the king.

Looking at her face with a veil on and without it, Gu Chaobei also recognized who it was.He has just been promoted to a nobleman, so it is likely that the Empress Dowager Wen wants to pay overtime wages, right?Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked so hard for this.

At the end of the song, Qing Huan pretended to see the emperor, let out a low cry of surprise, and then stepped forward to salute: "I want to take advantage of no one here to practice dancing, but I didn't expect to disturb Sheng Jia."

If you want to practice dancing, where can you not practice?If you don't go to the imperial garden, you will look innocent even if you know that the emperor must pass through the imperial garden when entering the harem.

Gu Chaobei sighed in his heart, at the beginning he saw Qing Huan's aloofness, but he didn't expect to play this way now.

"Get up, since it's dance practice, then I won't bother you, you can continue." Gu Chaobei turned and left.

"Your Majesty!" Qing Huan flew over to Gu Chaobei's back like a butterfly with broken wings, and said sadly, "Could it be that the palace walls are too deep, and the Emperor has almost forgotten about his concubines?"

Gu Chaobei pursed his lips: "No, I still remember that I saw you perform on the street at the beginning. You have a very good figure, so I brought you back to the mansion."

That's right, Qing Huan came from a sideshow troupe, and when Gu Chaobei brought her back, she only worked as a housemaid, or the kind who didn't get through.

Biting her lips, Qing Huan said in a low voice: "Since the emperor still remembers, why didn't you see Qing Huan? After entering the palace for so long, it's so hard for Qing Huan to see you."

Gu Chaobei turned around and looked at her: "Didn't I see you now? I still have something to do, so I have to go first."

"Master." Qing Huan took Gu Chaobei's hand and turned to the side: "Qing Huan wants to see you again."

Yan'er is still waiting for him, knowing that he can finally pass today, I don't know how happy he should be, Gu Chaobei pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to shake Qing Huan away: "I don't like being entangled by people."

The positions are all set up, just waiting for this push.Behind Qing Huan's feet are piles of cobblestones, and behind it is a pool of freshly thawed fish water.

With a sound of "crash", the splash of water was as high as it was, and Gu Chaobei couldn't help shivering.The coldest time is when the snow melts, is Qing Huan still alive?

"Come here, rescue the nobleman, get up, and send him back to the imperial physician." Gu Chaobei shouted behind him.

Zhuiyun brought people over and jumped down to rescue them.Qing Huan was drenched all over, her teeth chattered, and her face was frozen blue.

Gu Chaobei originally wanted to hand it over to the palace servants, so he went to Xiuzhuang Palace first.But Qing Huan's cold hand reached out and grabbed him.

"Grandpa..." The pitiful voice was hoarse.

Women have really worked hard to compete for favor.Gu Chaobei looked back at her, thinking that she was just promoted by Empress Dowager Wen, sighed, and said: "I will send you back."

Shen Guiyan opened the door of the palace and waited outside.After bathing and changing clothes, she was too physically fit to go to bed, but she was happy to be able to sleep on the same bed with the emperor.

As a result, from dusk to dark, from the first watch to the second watch, the emperor did not come.

"Miss Yan, I heard that a Qing noble who had just been promoted fell into the water, and the emperor sent her back to the palace. After a while, I'm afraid she won't be able to come today." The mother outside whispered.

The third watch is about to go to court, and looking at it at this time, it is indeed too late.Shen Guiyan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out again: "Then I will rest first."

"Master." Bao pouted his mouth, looked at her and said, "If you are unhappy, you can talk to your servant. Even if you drop something, don't hold back."

Shen Guiyan smiled and shook her head: "It's just that my hope is in vain, I can't accept it for a while, just sleep for a while. I'm tired after waiting for so long."

"The servant waits for the master to go to bed." Baoshan pursed his lips, helped Shen Guiyan onto the bed, and then closed the palace door and came out.

"Baoshan." Zhuiyun came over panting, "Your master has just rested?"

Bao Shan glanced at him, frowned and pulled him away: "You are too useless, how can you let the emperor be intercepted halfway?"

Zhuiyun touched his nose, he was very wronged.The Qing nobles were all thrown into the pool, with that appearance, what else can he, a bodyguard, help persuade the emperor?
"I don't want to talk to you, don't come to me for help if you have anything to do." Bao Shan turned away angrily: "The emperor is not here, so you don't have to run to me."

Zhuiyun gasped, who is this killing? This is, his master couldn't hold back his sympathy, so blame him?
"Treasure fan..."

"It's you!" Baoshan went back to his room, waved to Zhuiyun, and slammed the door behind him.

Zhuiyun wanted to cry but had no tears, he just came to help the emperor to send a letter that didn't have to wait for the concubine Yan, how could he be hated by Baoshan, it was so innocent!
After returning to the emperor's side, Zhuiyun's face was not very good-looking.

The emperor watched the imperial physician feel the pulse of the Qing nobleman, and said that he had to take medicine for the cold and could not sleep for five days.

"Then I will leave first." Gu Chaobei turned around.

"Your Majesty." Qing Huan was shivering under the blanket, but reluctantly called out to him.Guo Yuan was sitting next to him, smiling and persuading him: "Your honor is in poor health, the emperor should not stay here, you should take care."

Qing Huan secretly scolded herself for making a mistake.

If the drama is overdone, I will not be able to fall well.

Gu Chaobei came out, looked at Zhuiyun's expression, hesitated for a long time before coughing lightly: "Go to Xiuzhuang Palace to report?"

"Yes, I have already told Empress Yan Concubine that there is no need to wait." Zhuiyun was in a bad mood, so he didn't reply much.

Gu Chaobei was at a loss in his mind, looking at this, Yan'er was angry?The same is true for Zhuiyun, if he doesn't make it clear in the report, he still needs to ask him a little bit in person?

"...Did Concubine Yan say something?"

Zhuiyun shook his head with a stern face: "I didn't say anything, she had already gone to bed when I went down, so I should have known the news earlier."

Gu Chaobei stared at him, unable to bring back a word?
Zhuiyun's face was ashamed, and he didn't respond to being stared at by Gu Chaobei, only looking down at the ground.

Looking at the time, it was almost the second watch, and it was too late to go to Xiuzhuang Palace, and Yan'er had to be woken up.After thinking about it, Gu Chaobei still turned around and went back to his bedroom, and it would be the same when he went to see Yan'er tomorrow.

The next day, when the emperor got up to go to court, the concubines of the palaces had already gone to the empress dowagers of the two palaces to pay their respects.

Concubine Zhuang also heard about what happened yesterday, so she dragged Shen Guiyan to Empress Dowager Wen's palace early in the morning.

"Hey, why didn't the Qing nobleman come?" Concubine Zhuang glanced at everyone, sat next to the Empress Dowager Wen and asked with a smile: "Yesterday I heard that the Qing nobleman was promoted, and the concubine didn't have time to congratulate him, why didn't I see him today. "

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Aunt Fanghua, Fanghua said in a low voice, "Master Qing fell into the water yesterday, he said he was ill."

"Falling into the water?" Empress Dowager Wen raised her eyebrows.Fanghua coughed lightly, and told Queen Mother Wen about what happened yesterday.

In the matter of fighting for favor, what Qing Huan did was not very kind, but it was what the Empress Dowager Wen wanted.Empress Dowager Wen didn't criticize her after hearing this, but instead looked at Concubine Zhuang and said, "You are the highest position in the harem now, if a nobleman falls into the water and gets sick, you naturally have to go and see."

"The concubine complies with the order and will go after a while." Concubine Zhuang responded with a smile.

In this palace, Shen Guiyan's grace was always thin, but one night, she was messed up by this method.Hua Concubine and Xi Guiren were also quite dissatisfied when they heard that, they left from Empress Dowager Wen, and went to Qing nobleman's palace together, taking Shen Guiyan with them by the way.

Before Qing Huan could rest well, she was woken up by the sound outside.Concubine Zhuang came in, sat on the edge of the bed with a smile and looked at her: "How does Qing nobleman feel today? Are you feeling better?"

Startled, Qing Huan pursed her lips and looked at Concubine Zhuang, then at Concubine Hua and Mr. Xi, her eyes fell on Shen Guiyan, she understood.

This is the reckoning.

But she belongs to the Empress Dowager, and it can be said that yesterday was an unintentional mistake. Who can say anything about her?Qing Huan lay on the bed, did not get up to salute, looked at Concubine Zhuang and said: "Thank you for your concern, my concubine is still a little dizzy today, the maid has already gone to the imperial hospital to make medicine."

Concubine Zhuang smiled and said: "My sister is sick, just take it easy. I have asked the imperial physician that you cannot serve the bed for five days. Originally, I planned to arrange for you to serve the emperor tomorrow. If you want to come, let it go." How is Concubine Yan?"

Qing Huan was taken aback, looked at Concubine Zhuang's smiling face, and clenched her hands tightly: "The concubine can go to bed after five days, and the empress can postpone the arranged day."

"Hey, that's not what you said." Concubine Zhuang pulled Shen Guiyan over, and said with a smile: "You and Concubine Yan came from the same mansion, so you should take care of each other, you can rest assured of your illness, and Concubine Yan will take care of you bear it."
