The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 42: Grace and Reminder

Views:

The emperor went to the Xihe Palace. For the women in the harem, it was expected, and it was something that made them grit their teeth with hatred, but no one dared to look for Zhao Chongyi in the first place. But still as usual.

After being turned over by the red waves, Zhuang Luoyan leaned against the emperor's chest. Tonight, the emperor's movements were very gentle, and it seemed that he was worried about her body, which made Zhuang Luoyan feel that the emperor was not a beast to the end.

Maybe it was because he rested too much during the day, Zhuang Luoyan didn't have much sleepiness, but just leaned on the emperor's chest as if he was attached, and closed his eyes to listen to the movement at night.

"Concubine Ai can't sleep?" In the quiet night, the emperor's voice suddenly came out. Zhuang Luoyan didn't expect the emperor to fall asleep, and after a moment of stunned he said, "The emperor hasn't slept yet, is the concubine disturbing you? "As he said that, he moved his head away from the emperor's chest.

Reaching out his hand to fix the person in his own wickedness, and stroking the delicate and smooth blue silk, Feng Jin said in a hoarse voice: "The beauty is in my arms, how can I fall asleep?" A scent, although this face is not the most beautiful, but it doesn't have the slightest smell of powder, so he can't help but kiss it a few more times.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled in the dark, the emperor had a set of love words on the bed, she put her hand on the chest, she smiled and said: "The emperor always praises the concubine like this, the concubine is really afraid that one day she will forget that she is a concubine. What does it look like?" After speaking, she seemed to realize that this was a little inappropriate, she paused for a while, and then said, "A gardener in the palace said that the water lily season that the emperor gave me is coming to an end."

There is a day when the flowers wither, how can the beauty not have the day when it fades

Feng Jin patted Zhuang Luoyan's back lightly: "It's just a water lily, what kind of flowers does Concubine Ai like, I just ask someone to send it to you, when flowers are always thankful, it's not because Concubine Ai is thankful for the flowers. sorry people."

"It turns out that in the eyes of the emperor, a concubine is just a layman who only knows how to eat and drink, but he can't breathe," Zhuang Luo said with dissatisfaction, but the next moment he sighed again, and he knew who he was.

Feng Jin laughed and said, "I said earlier that there is never a shortage of concubines in this harem who are good at qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, romance, and beauty. Concubine Ai doesn't have to compare with others, you are different from others."

The words of a man after being turned upside down are unbelievable. Zhuang Luoyan has self-knowledge, but he knows how if he loves this man, how he should react when he hears this.

Sometimes words can't fully express people's feelings, but body can express enough.

Feng Jin noticed that the person in his arms trembled slightly on his chest, and he couldn't even speak. He began to think about how many concubines had said this kind of compliment, and how those women reacted.

"For concubines, the emperor is also the most special."

The voice was hoarse and trembling, but it was not because of the discomfort in the throat. Feng Jin knew that it was because the person in his arms was too excited.

"Go to sleep." He patted her on the back lightly, a different sentence was the most special, but he got a cheap one.

Even though he thought so, the hand that patted the back was a lot softer.

In the early morning, when the morning sun had not yet risen, Feng Jin had already got up. White fingers like shaving green onion roots arranged the placket for him, and buttoned the jade pendant sachet and other items for him by herself. This seemed to be the first time she was sorting his clothes for him with a smile. The corners of her eyes were obviously tired, but her eyes said It was so clear that it seemed to have found hope for the future, and it burst into flames.

"Your Majesty, get up!"

The woman in the Luo skirt shook her head and bowed down, but he was stopped by his hand, and whispered, "Concubine Ai was tired last night, so let's go and rest for a while." After speaking, seeing the woman's bright smile, she turned around and walked out. go.

Emperors don't like to look back, because in their eyes, others have always watched them leave, and they never need to care about the eyes of the people behind them, because they don't need to look, they know that those people's eyes are awe, fear, and apprehension.

When Feng Jin walked to the door, for some reason, he turned around without warning. When he turned around, he saw the emotion in a woman's eyes that could not be concealed. He seemed to have seen this look on this woman before, but she concealed it too quickly at that time, and he didn't care what kind of emotion she had in her eyes.

Zhao Chongyi didn't seem to expect the emperor to turn back, so he panicked a little, then bowed his head and asked, "What did the emperor leave behind?"

"No," Feng Jin said in a flat tone, "Have a good rest, I'm leaving."

The emperor's imperial car left Xihe Palace and went to the Golden Palace. Because the sky was not yet bright, the stars in the sky could still be seen. Gao Dezhong followed the imperial car with his head down, quiet all the way, but after leaving the inner palace, he suddenly heard the emperor speak.

"Gao Dezhong, ask someone to take the water lily and glazed eight treasures in my private library to Xihe Palace later."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Dezhong was taken aback. There were not many of the Eight Treasures of Glazed Glass, and the water lily glazed glass was particularly delicate. The emperor actually wanted to reward the master of Xihe Palace? If he remembered correctly, only the Queen and Concubine Shu Gui were the only ones who received the Liulizhan reward in this palace, not even the concubine Yangui, who had been extremely favored in the past two years.

Recalling the days of Zhao Chongyi's downfall, Gao Dezhong had to sigh with emotion that this harem was ups and downs, and until the end, there was really no end.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, all the concubines and concubines who were on the stage were seated. Zhuang Luoyan sat below Xu Zhaorong and listened to the Queen Mother with all the concubines talking about women's appearance and virtue.

After the Empress Dowager said some superficial words, she turned her eyes to Zhuang Luoyan, who was sitting upright and respectful, "I heard that some people with short eyes caused Zhao Chongyi to fall into the water. Is it safe now?"

"Tired of the empress dowager, the concubine is already safe," Zhuang Luoyan got up and blessed, "it is really the sin of the concubine to worry the empress dowager."

"You suffer so innocently, how can you be guilty," the Queen Mother smiled lovingly and let her sit down, then sighed, "Fortunately, the emperor is sensible and did not let you suffer such grievances in vain. In this harem, there are always so Some big hearts. It's really time to beat and beat, what do you think, Queen?"

"Daughter-in-law remember the teachings of the queen mother," the queen stood up with a dignified smile and gave the queen mother a salute.

Everyone present knew that the Queen Mother was concerned about Zhao Chongyi, but she took the opportunity to embarrass the Queen, otherwise why would she be so rude. However, these had little to do with them, and were only seen as a joke.

However, everyone looked at Zhao Chongyi with a bit of embarrassment on her face, and couldn't help laughing in their hearts. These things had nothing to do with Zhao Chongyi. She, a victim, even showed embarrassment when she heard this, she was stupid. So, could it be that she just relied on this stupid appearance to attract the emperor a few high glances

No matter what the concubines thought, Zhuang Luoyan made up her mind not to join the game between the queen mother and the queen. If anyone offends, no one will end well. What's more, in this case, no one can really please both sides. She If you admit that you don't have this kind of ability, you won't lose such a face.

Please be safe this time, the Queen Mother has the upper hand. Zhuang Luoyan followed a group of concubines out of the Queen Mother's Palace, watched Feng Jia leave, and waited for other high-ranking concubines to get on the chariot before getting on his own chariot.

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, Zhuang Luoyan and Jiang Xianconcubian walked in tandem, Zhuang Luoyan thought about it, and invited Jiang Xianconcubine to walk side by side with him.

"Sister Zhaochongyi seems to be feeling much better," Jiang Xianbi held an umbrella with a gentle smile on her face in the shadows, "I feel relieved when I look at it."

"Thank you for your concern, sister," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "It's just that you fell into the water, it's not a big deal."

"My little sister has an open-minded personality," Jiang Xianbi was still smiling, and suddenly said, "The day before yesterday, the emperor, Concubine Teenshu, went home to save her relatives, which is really a great grace."

Zhuang Luoyan was slightly surprised, she did not expect Jiang Xianconcubine to say these words to herself. Women in the harem don't say saving relatives, even seeing their mother's family is a great grace. Not to mention the concubines of her level, the Queen Shu Gui and others, I am afraid that it is rare to see her family once a year.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Luoyan had to once again sighed that the harem TV dramas in the previous life were pitiful, the parents, brothers, mothers and sisters of the concubines met with him from time to time, and they also discussed palace fighting skills and the like. When I got here, I knew what a real harem was, and what a queen was a place to bury women.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile: "Concubine Shu also has some thoughts about entering the palace. The emperor is so kind to his relatives, naturally the emperor's grace is mighty."

"Yeah, the grace of the emperor is mighty." Jiang Xianbi remembered that she had been in the palace for many years and had only met her family once, or because the weather was good that year, the concubines and concubines of the emperor's special grace were not alone in seeing their mother's family. grace.

Zhuang Luoyan has never understood Jiang Xianbi's attitude towards her, saying that she has never framed her as an enemy, and occasionally reminds herself inadvertently; saying that she is a friend, but she doesn't seem to have any intention to win over her, this person seems to be Live in the harem, and watch the show coolly. But she was also one of the people who let herself know how coldly a concubine who was not favored would be treated.

She is a virtuous concubine, and she is considered a master in this harem, but she cannot hire a useful imperial doctor, and there is always a shortage of living things. For Zhuang Luoyan, who is happy to enjoy, such a day is really not a good day.

However, this concubine Jiang never seems to say boundless nonsense to herself for no reason, so what does she mean when she mentions the emperor's concubine Teenshu to save her relatives this time

Is it to remind yourself of Concubine Shu's favorability to be careful, or to imply other intentions
