No.317 Your Majesty, please forgive me, "This is too much! The Emperor has been sleeping in Jiaofang Hall for more than a month!" In Rouyi Hall, a woman in pink palace clothes banged her palms on the table, angrily. Sat down.

"Yes, the emperor has not gone anywhere for more than a month! Not to mention resting in a certain palace at night, he has never even gone in when passing by during the day!" Another woman in a blue skirt also looked angry, with her head shaking. The jewels on the hairpins collided with each other and made crisp sounds.

"What kind of charm does this queen have? How did she charm the emperor like this?" The third woman frowned and looked at Shen Aomei who was sitting next to her in confusion. Speaking of the queen, others didn't understand her. This sister should understand!

Before Shen Aomei could speak, another person next to him flashed sarcasm in his eyes, "Haha, there are so many tricks in that area, right?" She covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard that they call people there until midnight every night! Every morning. We have to wait for a long time when we go to say hello! Humph, my mother honors the world, is this how my mother honors the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Aomei suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

Everyone was shocked, and the atmosphere of the originally lively discussion was suddenly interrupted. They all looked at Shen Aomei on the main seat. The master of this Rouyi Palace was none other than the Concubine Shen Aomei.

This morning, they went to Jiaofang Hall to pay their respects to the Queen as usual. As usual, they waited for a long time. As usual, even when the Emperor arrived at Jiaofang Hall later, he didn't even look at them.

On the way back, everyone complained quietly and implicitly about the emperor's indifference to them. The more they spoke, the more they spoke more frankly. In the end, they all walked to Shen Aomei's palace together. They had just walked in and had not yet sat down. Next, the resentment that had been accumulated over time suddenly broke out.

At this moment, seeing everyone looking at her, Shen Aomei looked like a superior: "Wu Chang is here, making irresponsible remarks about His Majesty. Do you think you can bear the charge of such a crime?"

In one sentence, the little Chang Zai named Wu Xianling immediately showed a look of fear. Soon, she calmed down and looked at Shen Aomei with a flattering smile: "Sister Xianfei, we are all so familiar. Am I just talking in front of a few of us?"

Shen Aomei looked at her for a long time, then glanced at the other people, and said lightly and pointedly: "What's the use of just talking? It's better to actually do something. In the harem, if If you really want to gain a firm foothold, the emperor’s favor is fundamental.”

As Shen Aomei said that, she stood up from her seat and walked slowly to the window. There was a pot of two-color hibiscus in full bloom. The petals were as big as the mouth of a bowl, half pink and half pink and white.

She stretched out her hand and touched the hibiscus petals a few times, then spread her palms with the palms facing up. Immediately, a palace attendant took a pair of gold scissors and put them in her hands.

No one knew what she was going to do. If she wanted to prune branches, this flower had no side branches at all, and all the nutrients were concentrated on the top flower.

There was just a "click" sound, the scissor blades crossed, and the blooming hibiscus fell straight down on the table.

Everyone looked at the many prosperous and luxuriant flowers that suddenly lost their life, and instantly realized the meaning that the Concubine Xian wanted to convey.

Shen Aomei picked up the flower on the table and sniffed it gently: "It's such a pity that I accidentally cut such a beautiful flower."

She looked at Wu Xianling and waved to her. Wu Xianling hurriedly walked over. Shen Aomei raised her hand and inserted the two-color hibiscus into the side of her bun: "Yes, such a delicate one." The flowers fit perfectly on Wu Changzai's head."

Wu Xianling was trembling and hurriedly thanked Shen Aomei. The moment she stood up, she seemed to hear Shen Aomei saying to her in a mosquito-loud voice: "Don't let me down!"

Wu Xianling was stunned and looked up at Shen Aomei. He saw Shen Aomei smiling, but it was obvious that she had just spoken to him!

"Okay, let's all leave! Instead of complaining here, we should spend more time thinking about the emperor's preferences." Shen Aomei began to issue an eviction order.

"Yes." All the concubines saluted her respectfully, bowed and retreated outside.

Just as everyone was walking to the door, Shen Aomei slowly added: "The harem and the court were originally of the same origin, and both were prosperous, and you are all descended from the daughters of important ministers..."

The women's steps stagnated slightly, and they quickly continued to retreat outside.

Let’s talk about the general trend of the harem. Over the past month, precisely because Li Tianyou favored one person, the two camps in the harem have gradually merged.

Those women who originally disliked each other now had the primary conflict, so they naturally put aside the secondary conflicts first.

Of course, there are a few exceptions:

For example, the concubine Fu Yan still looks arrogant. She is like a beautiful peacock to the goodwill shown by Shen Aomei's camp. She also always complains to the concubines around her about the emperor and the empress. It means not caring, not paying attention;

Another example is the beauty E Xianluo. In the past month, no one has commented in her ears about the emperor's neglect of the concubines. She always looks elegant and generous. If the other person just talks lightly and obscurely, she will listen with a smile. , did not express an opinion, but if the other person said something too much, she would kindly remind him to be careful not to go too far. Over time, everyone thought that E Xianluo had no interest in competing for favor, and they did not talk to her about this topic. discussed;

Another example is the beauty Bai Ruo, Li Tianyou's former concubine brought from Prince You's Palace. It is said that before Li Tianyou married Shen Aoxue, she was the most favored. Later, when Li Tianyou ascended the throne, all the concubines were also brought into the palace. The others are all Chang Zai, or have a lower status than Chang Zai, but this one is canonized as a beauty. Logically speaking, she should have a deeper hatred for the emperor doting on the queen, but she never participates in these things. Every time she heard someone talking, she would turn around and leave. However, even so, there were many people who came to see her privately. After all, among the many concubines in the harem, she should know Li Tianyou the best.

…

That morning, when it was still bright and bright, Li Tianyou got up as usual and kissed Aoxue gently, then went to the morning court and told the palace officials not to disturb her sleep.

This morning, all the concubines were still waiting outside the Jiaofang Hall. It was already late autumn. On the tall trees, there were yellow leaves swirling in the air. The icy cold wind poured in from the collar, and many In order to highlight their convex figures, the concubines were so cold that they cursed in their hearts. If they hadn't bumped into the emperor here and let the emperor see their proud figures, they would have worn so little!

This morning, the empress, who was the first person in the harem, got up as usual. She bathed slowly, changed clothes, combed her hair, and had breakfast. Then she slowly walked to the main hall of Jiaofang Hall to receive the audience of the concubines.

Now it is different from the first visit. Every time they come in, there are about ten people. If Aoxue is interested, she will chat with them for a few words, but most of the time she is not interested. After these people kneel down and salute,

, Aoxue waved her hand and let them go.

"Sneeze!" Just as he was bowing and standing up, a beautiful lady from Zhou who was still wearing a low-cut dress suddenly sneezed loudly.

The person standing in front of her was Fu Yan. As if she was afraid of spittle splashing on her, Fu Yan hurriedly stepped aside.

It was at this moment that Aoxue could see more clearly the beauty's snow-white breasts, the deep grooves, and the dazzling ruby ​​necklace hanging on her chest... There was no need to look at it deliberately, the ruby ​​​​naturally attracted people's attention.

Led over.

Aoxue smiled. These days, she has seen these women deliberately dress up to reveal a lot of flesh. Since they are not afraid of the cold, they stand outside and wait for her to sleep enough and dress up before having breakfast.

I'll meet them later.

"Come here, give Zhou Meiren a cup of hot tea to warm herself up!" Aoxue ordered.

"Yes." Xiaodie immediately turned around and walked into the tea room next to her. Soon, Xiaodie came out holding a silver plate. On the silver plate was a white porcelain cup as thin as a silkworm's wing. In the cup, there was amber tea crystal.

It is so clear that it seems to be visible from the wall of the cup, with light white smoke rising from it.

The smoke is lingering and the aroma of tea is overwhelming. As soon as you smell it, you know it is the best Biluochun.

Everyone couldn't help but feel jealous again. Perhaps the best tea in the entire palace was in the Queen's room!

"Since Meiren Zhou is cold, just hold the cup to keep warm!" Aoxue smiled, "Come here, bring a stool to Meiren Zhou, and then bring me the white wolf skin cloak, and wait until your body and bones are warm before leaving.

.”

Zhou Meiren was flattered and quickly bowed her knees slightly to thank Aoxue.

Everyone was jealous again, wishing that they were the ones who caught a cold and sneezed! That white wolf fur cloak was said to have been hunted by the emperor when he was 18 years old! More importantly, if he could stay in the Jiaofang Hall to keep warm, he would be able to wear it on the eighth floor later.

See the emperor!

Xiaodie walked up to Zhou Meiren, pushed the silver tray forward, and said with a smile: "Beauty, please hold the cup steady. This is a tribute just sent by Jing Zhen. The bone china is light and thin, and the emperor likes it tight."

When Zhou Meiren heard that it was something the emperor liked, she felt even happier. She stretched out her hands to hold the cup.

The cold hand suddenly grasped the hot object, and she didn't feel anything for a moment. But just when Xiaodie removed the silver plate and was walking back to the tea room, there was a sudden "clang" sound.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the place where the sound came from, and they saw the small bone china cup at Zhou Meiren's feet falling into pieces, and amber tea dripping all over the floor!

Aoxue's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Zhou Meiren coldly.

For a moment, the originally warm Jiaofang Hall felt like a cold wind passing through, and everyone felt a chill on their backs.

Zhou Meiren knelt down with a slight trembling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me! The tea cup is too hot, I...I couldn't hold it steady for a moment..."
Chapter completed!
