Chapter 378: Buried Concubine VS Ruthless Romantic Emperor 26
The news that Concubine Li went to the Imperial Study Room to find the Emperor spread like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, spreading throughout the harem at an alarming speed.
In each palace, the concubines whispered to each other, showing expressions of ridicule or gloating.
“Humph, this Concubine Li really couldn’t sit still. She ran to the Imperial Study Room to find the Emperor so eagerly. She really lost the face of a high-ranking concubine.”
Ning Zhaoyi Sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden, shaking the fan gently in his hand, his words were full of sarcasm.
Wen Zhaoyuan was sitting next to her, holding a delicate round fan in her hand and fanning it gently. It was obviously a bit hot.
"Isn't it true? I'm so arrogant on weekdays, but now that I've lost favor, I'm panicking."
Wen Zhaoyuan agreed, her eyes full of disdain.
In every corner of the harem, such discussions arose one after another. The concubines were all secretly laughing at Concubine Li.
In the east side hall, Yu Yao also heard about this. Although she didn't know why Concubine Li fell out of favor for no reason, she was happy in her heart.
Because I was in the limelight during this period, when I was paying my respects, I was often crowded around by the concubines of the palace. I was told all kinds of jealous, unpleasant, and disgusting things.
Every morning when I go to Fengyi Palace to pay my respects, I have to engage in a verbal battle.
At this time, Liuli stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, it's been a whole month. Why haven't you received your monthly letter for this month? Do you want to ask an imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"
When Yu Yao heard this, her heart moved. She gently stroked her flat belly with her hand without leaving a trace, "It doesn't matter, my monthly letter is always inaccurate. Maybe it was postponed this time."< br>
It was only a month, and the days were still very shallow. It was also a dangerous time, and she didn't want to be exposed prematurely.
Hearing this, Liuli had no doubts, and then said worriedly: "My lord, it is not a trivial matter to have an inaccurate monthly letter. This will most likely affect the master's pregnancy of the emperor's heir. Why don't you please hire an imperial physician to take a look at it?" ”
She quickly stretched out her hand to stop, wrinkled She said with an eyebrow: "No, maybe it's because I've been too tired recently. It will get better after some time."
After saying that, she then ordered: "This matter must not be disclosed. In the future, I I leave my mattress and pants to you to wash yourself, and you do some tricks on them. Don't let anyone find out about it. Or if one of you comes over, secretly change it to yours and wash it. In short, don't let anyone find out."
She paused and said again: " In addition, Liuli, please go and inform the Jingsi Room that I have been here these days. Yue Xin, I can’t serve the Emperor, so I asked them to remove my green card.”
Liu Li was confused, thinking of some possibility, and suddenly widened her eyes and said in shock: “Master, you can’t be the one. .Are you happy?”
After speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one was in the room.
Yu Yao blinked and smiled mysteriously, "I'm not sure either, so I'll keep it a secret for now. Okay, just do what I want."
Liu Li listened. When I heard the master's answer, I knew that the matter was close to the truth, and I was very excited.
But I also knew that this matter was of great importance and it was not appropriate to reveal it too early. I quickly calmed down and said seriously: "Yes, little master, I must act with caution."
She had just finished speaking. , Hu Hua opened the door and walked in, "Little Master, Shu Mei who lives in the west hall is here."
Yu Yao was slightly startled, Shu Meiren, how could she come here suddenly?
Although Shu Meiren lives with her in Yihe Hall, they actually don't have much interaction with each other.
Except for the first day she lived here, Shu Mei and Liu Baolin came to visit, and they never set foot in her east side hall again.
Although they often meet each other, the two of them have not had much conversation.
"Please invite Shu Mei to come in."
She said calmly to Amber, but in her heart she was thinking about Shu Meiren's intention.
After a while.
Shu Meiren walked into the east hall, wearing a light purple dress embroidered with orchids, with a gentle smile on her face, but there was an imperceptible melancholy hidden in her eyes.
Seeing Yu Yao, she bowed slightly and saluted, and said in a soft voice: "I have met Sister Qin. I took the liberty of visiting you. I hope you won't be surprised."
She stood up quickly and stepped forward to help her. Shu Meiren, who lived there, smiled and said: "Sister, you are very polite. Please take a seat. My east side hall is usually deserted. It is rare for sisters to come to visit. It is too late for me to be happy."
The two sat down separately as guest and host, and Liuli served them tea.
Shu Meiren took a sip, his eyes fell on her tenderly, and she slowly said: "Sister, I have been quite favored by the emperor recently, and I am very envious in my heart. Thinking that I must have something unique, I will not assume any presumption. , come and ask for "Teach me."
Yu Yao looked at Shu Meiren and smiled, "Sister, I'm serious. I don't have anything unique. It's just the emperor's occasional pity. If you have any experience, maybe. Just keep your heart, no Don't fight, just let nature take its course."
Shu Meiren's eyes flashed with confusion, and she sighed softly: "Sister, I am really open-minded, but I can't do this in the harem. Among them, grace is easy to pass away, if not If you fight, you won't even have anyone to rely on in the future."
She comforted softly: "Sister, don't worry too much, the emperor has his own decree. We just need to be ourselves and wait for the opportunity. .”
The two chatted about some trivial matters in the palace, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Shu Meiren mentioned the main purpose of the trip: "Sister, actually, I came here today to ask for something. My sister has not been favored for a long time, and she is very anxious. I wonder if she can give me some advice. One or two, how much can my sister win the emperor's favor?"
Yu Yao looked at Shu Meiren in surprise and asked, is this a bit too direct?
How can Shu Mei be sure that she has a way to win favor? How can you be sure that you will definitely speak out?
You know, are all the women in this harem enemies?
She couldn't tell what Shu Meiren was thinking, "Sister, I'm too serious. I don't have any advice. However, if sister is serious, you might as well pay more attention to the emperor's preferences and let him notice you. Only by paying attention to you can you have the opportunity to sleep with him. Isn't it? "
Shu Mei's appearance is not bad, but her personality is too reserved and introverted, and she can't let go or take the initiative. How can she be favored like this?
Shu Meiren looked grateful and said, "Thank you, sister, for the tip. I took note of it."
After some conversation, she stood up and left.
Yu Yao walked to the entrance of the palace and watched Shu Meiren leave, thinking secretly in her heart. In this harem, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. Only oneself is the most reliable support.
In the Agarwood Hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting Yun Bin's fair but slightly nervous face.
She caressed her flat belly. Her monthly letter for this month has not come yet, and it has been more than a month since she last slept with her.
Yun Bin looked excited when she thought of a certain possibility.
But because the time was short, she did not dare to ask an imperial doctor for fear of disturbing the situation.
Because she had lost a child in the East Palace, Yun Bin became more cautious and did not even tell the palace maids who were close to her.
I just asked someone to inform the minister's room that she had been feeling unwell recently and should not sleep there.
Even when it comes to eating, I have become extra careful, for fear of eating something I shouldn’t and causing the baby in my belly to disappear again.
In the imperial study room, the palace lanterns swayed gently under the eaves, and the warm yellow lights were bright and dim.
The night wind blew gently, causing the gauze curtains on the corridor to flutter slightly.
Now it was time to turn over the signs again. Emperor Jing was about to turn over Yu Yao's sign when he scanned it but didn't see it.
I suddenly became angry, thinking that it was An Hai, the dog slave, who was causing trouble again, so I pointed at him and cursed: "Bold slave, where is Qin Guiren's brand? Could it be that you are causing trouble under my nose again?"< br>
An Hai was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please rest." Angry, I don’t dare. It was Qin Guiren’s maid, Liuli, who came to see me and said that Qin Guiren had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was unable to sleep with her, so I took down Qin Guiren’s sign.”
Emperor Jing frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
No longer in the mood to look at the signs, he waved his hand, signaling An Hai to step back.
He turned back to the imperial case and picked up a memorial, but found that he couldn't read it.
My thoughts can't help but drift away.
Is this noble Qin really unwell and inconvenient to serve, or is there another reason?
When I thought about it, I couldn’t sit still and wanted to go over and have a look.
Before he arrived at Yihe Hall, he saw a beautiful figure while passing by the peach grove in the Imperial Garden.
Wearing a light blue dress, she has a graceful figure and a delicate face. She closes her eyes slightly and gently smells the fragrance of peach blossoms, with a peaceful smile on her face, gentle and gentle.
Emperor Jing was slightly startled and stopped involuntarily. He felt that the person in front of him was more beautiful than a flower. Looking at the beauty under the moon, the more he looked at it, the more beautiful she became.
He coughed twice and asked: "Who is there?"
Hearing the sound, Shu Meiren knew that the emperor was coming. This was the entrance from the Imperial Study Room to Yihe Hall. The only way to go.
Every time the emperor goes back to Qin Guiren, he always comes here.
She deliberately waited here early to attract the emperor's attention.
Shu Meiren pretended to be frightened, and quickly turned around and saluted, "I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with peace and prosperity."
The moonlight shines on the peach grove in the imperial garden, and the pink peach blossoms The dreamlike clouds contrast with Shu Meiren's light blue dress.
The night wind blew gently, and the peach blossoms fell, as if there was a peach blossom rain.
Shu Meiren lowered her head slightly, her hair fluttering gently in the wind. Her appearance was both gentle and touching.
Emperor Jing looked at Shu Meiren in front of him and his expression changed slightly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Shu Meiren replied nervously: "Back to the emperor, I am Shu Meiren from Yihe Palace. Tonight The moonlight is just right, so I want to come to this peach forest and don't want to disturb the emperor."
There was a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her eyes, like a frightened deer.
Emperor Jing nodded slightly and his eyes stayed on Shu Meiren for a moment.
Shu Meiren? Still living in Yihe Palace?
He had never noticed or remembered this person.
"It's cold at night, Shu Meiren should go back early."
He left a few words and left.
Although Shu Meiren caught his attention, he didn't have any thoughts of favor at this time. He just wanted to see a certain woman.
Although Shu Meiren was a little disappointed when the emperor left, her mentality was still good.
At least the emperor remembered her, right?
If we meet a few more times by chance, the emperor will one day recruit her to serve as his bedfellow.
Shu Meiren did not stay in the peach blossom forest all the time, and went back soon.
