The nine-curve corridor has vermilion wooden pillars and torn gauze hanging on the eaves.
The black shadow walked back and forth in the pavilion, as if looking for something. Soon, he squatted down, reached out and took something out from the ground and put it in his arms. The Su Mansion was silent. The black shadow listened for a while, then jumped from the pavilion over the water and over the high wall. He soon disappeared at the alley and walked into the bustling crowd.
It came and went silently, and the garrison officers and soldiers thought it was just a bird flying by and did not pay any attention to it.
... ...
New Year's Day.
Emperor Rongjing Zhao Hong was helped by his personal eunuchs to change his clothes and wash up. Today he was going to worship his ancestors, and then there would be a grand court meeting.
After everything was done, they had to go to the harem. Every year, Empress Su led the concubines and princes to kowtow and pay respects. This year, Empress Su was demoted, and the palace had not yet appointed a new empress. The imperial concubine was temporarily in charge, and the court officials were constantly fighting over the appointment of a new empress.
Zhao Hong, with the help of the chief eunuch, withdrew from the grand court meeting. Thinking of the mess in the harem, Zhao Hong couldn't help but have a headache.
He was a man who valued love. Apart from the demoted Empress Su and Concubine Li, the remaining concubines in the harem included one concubine, one imperial concubine and one noble lady. Except for Noble Lady Yue, the rest were the ones who gave birth to his children.
Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, the management of the harem has become even more chaotic. The imperial concubine is much worse than Su Junyao, and her work is increasingly unsatisfactory to him. If it weren't for her pregnancy... ...
"I want to take a walk casually, you guys can leave now." Emperor Rong Jing ordered in a deep voice.
The chief eunuch looked at Emperor Rong Jing hesitantly, as this was against the rules. Seeing that Emperor Rong Jing frowned and said nothing, he was slightly startled. He responded quietly, waved his hand and asked the eunuchs, palace maids and guards behind him to step back and follow from a distance.
The Imperial Garden has always been the most beautiful place in the entire palace, and it does not lose its beauty in the slightest because of the winter. Large red silks are draped over it, and the silk flowers of various colors are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Emperor Rong Jing walked and looked, and unknowingly walked into the depths of the Imperial Garden.
From afar, I saw two palace maids standing under the tree, one of them was lowering her head to adjust the hem of her skirt, and the other was smiling and gesturing as she was trying to insert a gorgeous silk flower into her bun.
The wide armholes slid down and fell at the elbows, piling up layer by layer and blooming like flowers.
"Jun Yao?" The emperor stood there in a daze, as if he had returned to the past.
Emperor Rong Jing was seen standing still, as if he was in deep thought or hesitating.
The eunuch behind him hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to step forward and scold the two palace maids. Seeing this, Emperor Rong Jing snorted lightly, and the eunuch realized that he had misunderstood and took two steps back in embarrassment.
"Go check which palace this is from."
"Yes." The chief eunuch replied in a low voice and winked at the eunuch behind him.
There hasn't been a new person in His Majesty's palace for a long time, and now it's time to add a new person!
Looking at the two palace maids whispering not far away, Emperor Rong Jing smiled slightly and took a detour from the side path. When the mighty procession behind him turned a corner, the two palace maids noticed the movement. They picked up the flower basket beside them and walked quickly towards the palace of Concubine Yue.
After listening to the report from the two palace maids, Nanny Qian nodded and signaled them to go down. The bait had been put down, and they were just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
The second day of the first lunar month.
Su Junyao, who was in the cold palace, got the news that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage. It was said that she was angry with Concubine Li and fell down, dropping the dragon baby in her belly.
That's a dragon's son who can already tell the difference between male and female. What a pity!
"Heh." Su Junyao picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
If the tiger doesn't show its power, you think I'm a sick cat.
