At this time, Yun Xia was still living comfortably in the cold palace.
Two women who lived in the cold palace were sitting beside them, holding the grapes for her with delicate hands, and wiping the grape juice for her with a handkerchief.
These grapes were brought by the little maids of the dining room, because Yun Xia gave them a lot of silver, so if there is anything delicious, the little maids would secretly give her a piece and bring them into the cold palace.
The day was very pleasant.
Yun Xia counted the days with her fingers.
Father Yun should go to court on time today, if he really dares to present the veil to the emperor, then she can leave the cold palace today.
She is confident in the effect of that veil.
After all, it is a skill point.
However, she couldn't pin all her hopes on Father Yun, because the emperor was cruel and tyrannical, it is possible that Father Yun did not dare to send the handkerchief.
So Yun Xia prepared other methods early on.
If no one informed her to leave today, it meant that Father Yun didn't dare to give away the handkerchief, and she started another plan as soon as possible.
Yun Xia lazily ate a mouthful of grapes, motioned to the girl next to her to wipe the corners of her lips, and waited leisurely with her legs crossed.
Time passed little by little.
It didn't wait for anyone to pass it on until the sunset.
She rubbed the back of her head, thinking, could it be that Father Yun really didn't dare to give it away
The day passed quickly, and the sun was setting.
Yun Xia stretched and decided to go back to her room to sleep.
But as soon as she closed the door and was about to take off her clothes, she heard footsteps outside. The aunt in charge hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Yun... Yun is always here! Eunuch Li, who is beside His Majesty, is here to pass you an audience!"
Because it was too shocking.
Her voice has changed a bit.
Eunuch Li held a fly whisk in his hand, stood at the side of Lenggong with half-closed eyes, looked at the dilapidated Lenggong in front of him, and guessed the origin of this girl in his heart.
After His Majesty left the Imperial Study today, he did not return the handkerchief to Master Yun...
But it didn't say whether the veil was useful or not.
When Lord Yun left, his face was very pale, and he was still worried that His Majesty would punish him.
Not only Master Yun was worried, but even Eunuch Li was a little unpredictable.
When he went to deliver food at noon, he saw His Majesty alone in the bedroom, holding the handkerchief with one hand, staring at it thoughtfully in a daze.
Eunuch Li was so frightened that he almost broke the plate.
emperor…
The emperor was staring at the woman's belongings in a daze...
Simply unprecedented!
Eunuch Li still remembers the terrible fate of the famous lady who gave His Majesty a gift last time...
until this evening.
Only then did the emperor casually order him: "Go to the Leng Palace and bring the daughter of the Yun family."
Eunuch Li was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue.
He dared not delay.
Came here in a hurry.
This is the first time the emperor has summoned a concubine... No, this is the first time that the emperor has summoned a woman, and it is also the first time he has accepted a woman's belongings, the first time he has stared at a woman's handkerchief in a daze...
Although it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse, His Majesty is interested in this woman, or was provoked and dragged to execute her...
But Eunuch Li had an inexplicable feeling—this harem might be about to change.
…
Waited two minutes.
The door opened with a creak.
The aunt in charge was already dying of anxiety, standing beside her in a cold sweat.
This father-in-law is someone close to the Holy One.
How dare Yun Xia make him wait
So as soon as the girl went out, the aunt in charge scolded softly: "Why did you take so long to come out? It's not good to keep Eunuch Li waiting."
Eunuch Li nodded in satisfaction when he saw the girl's appearance.
Not to mention anything else, but the appearance is really good.
He shook his fly whisk, glanced at the aunt in charge who scolded the girl, and said in a calm voice, "I said you are a slave... this is a lady in the palace, and you are the one who can reprimand you as a slave?"
"..."
The aunt in charge never expected that Eunuch Li, after waiting for so long, not only did not get impatient with Yun Xia, but taught himself a lesson...
She didn't dare to talk back when the other party scolded her, and immediately said: "The servant knows his mistake."
Eunuch Li reprimanded his aunt in charge, and when he turned to face Yun Xia, he immediately switched from a cold face to a warm smile like a spring breeze, bent his back and said kindly: "You have suffered, and a mere slave dares to bully you. If you want to Punish her, how to punish is up to you."
His respectful, even courteous attitude surprised the aunt in charge.
this…
Isn't this someone close to His Majesty...
Yun Xia glanced at Eunuch Li's smiling face, and accepted this respect frankly.
Anyway, she is the woman who is going to be the favorite concubine.
"You don't need to be punished," she shook her head, "you take me there."
"Yes." Eunuch Li hurriedly led the way.
…
When he arrived at the bedroom, he didn't go to see the Holy Majesty immediately.
Yun Xia was taken to the side hall, washed and dressed again, and her clothes were changed into soft fabrics, and the maids even put on makeup for her.
Yun Xia didn't refuse.
She was very curious about how the makeup in the palace was done.
The jewelry placed in front of her was full of jewels, the step shaker and the headdress were golden, the earrings were bright, and even the rouge box was inlaid with beautiful gems.
The big devil is very satisfied.
She likes shiny things. When she becomes a favorite concubine in the future, these are all hers.
She obediently let the maid put tassels on her, and then opened the rouge box.
The smell of rouge and gouache made Yun Xia frown.
Her skill points mainly use the light fragrance around her to soothe the mind. The aroma of rouge will undoubtedly cover one's own breath.
"No need for this."
She pushed the rouge box away.
…
After everything was finally arranged, the sky outside also darkened. A small palace attendant held a lantern and respectfully led Yun Xia to the Holy Palace.
Holding the corner of her skirt, the girl walked leisurely through the corridor.
Arrived outside the emperor's bedroom.
"Please wait a moment, the servant will pass on the message."
Xiaogong waiter nodded and bowed.
Yun Xia nodded.
The little palace attendant turned around and was about to enter the bedroom, but before he opened the door, there was a loud noise from inside, the celadon utensils were swept to the ground, and the fragments scattered everywhere, making the little palace attendant tremble all over.
"This... His Majesty has another headache, you better not go in now." He withdrew his hand tremblingly.
Yun Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, but under the horrified eyes of Xiao Gongshi, she pushed the door straight open.
Inside the sleeping hall.
The palace servants knelt on the ground, all trembling.
Eunuch Li knelt at the front without daring to lift his head, his voice trembling slightly: "The soup is at the table, please drink some, Your Majesty..."
Yun Xia's eyes fell on the innermost part.
The man was sitting behind the table. There were no big lights in the bedroom, only a few candles not far away. Half of the young emperor's face was hidden in the shadows. He seemed to be suffering from extreme headaches. He lowered his head and held his forehead with one hand. , propped up in front of the table, the eyes as beautiful as glazed glass were gradually stained with a bit of cruel crimson.
