"Ah...um...Your Majesty, I can't survive, ah——"

"Your Majesty, ah... so comfortable, um... um... ah——"

The demonic sound filled my ears all night long, and the woman's exaggerated scream almost broke through the dragon boat and rained down along the wide water surface, frightening the birds that inhabited the reeds along the river.

Jingsu had fallen into a light sleep, but he was so frightened that he woke up, clutching his heart and shaking. He thought the fleet had been robbed, but he understood after hearing a few sounds, and lay back down again, but it was difficult to fall asleep again.

There was only a wall between Chong Mo's bedroom and hers. The woman was shouting like crazy, and the sounds reached Jingsu's ears very clearly, as if... right under her nose. No matter what she did,

Even if you are calm, you may be agitated.

She didn't expect to sleep that night.

Just when I was thinking this, someone knocked on the door gently and called out: "Your Majesty, are you awake?" It was Yao Xi's voice.

Jingsu asked, "What's the matter?"

The voice outside was a little lower, as if it was lowered deliberately, "I sewed something for you, I think you will need it right now."

Jingsu thought for a moment and said, "Come in."

Yao Xi gently opened the door and came in, took out something from her lapel and presented it to Jingsu, "My Majesty is disturbed by the strange noises and may not be able to sleep. It is better to wear something like this. It may be of some use, but I will be aggrieved."

"

Jingsu looked over at the dim candlelight in the room and saw that she was holding two lotus-colored brocade covers with ribbons sewn on both ends.

Tie it on,"

"Yes," Yao Xi took a cover and covered her left ear, wrapped the ribbons at both ends behind her ears and tied them with a knot, then took another one and tied it for her, "Mother, is it of any use?"

Although he couldn't completely block the annoying sound, it was indeed much lower. Jingsu nodded happily, "It's much better. It's difficult for you to be ingenious."

Since serving Concubine Li, this was the first time that Yao Xi heard her sincerely praise her. For some reason, she felt particularly happy in her heart and said repeatedly: "This is what a slave should do. I don't dare to accept the concubine's praise like this."

Why didn't Jingsu understand that she was acting under orders, but there was no master-servant relationship between the two of them? Yao Xi absolutely didn't need to think so much about her, she would naturally feel this love.

"You and I are not masters and servants. Naturally, I cannot accept your kindness in vain. Why don't you go to my dowry and choose something suitable for your eyes? It will be my acceptance of your kindness."

"I don't dare, slave," Yao Xi said hurriedly, but she didn't know that Jingsu had never cared about pearls, jade, jewelry, gold, silver, and money. The slaves in Furong Palace also received many rewards. She didn't do this intentionally to please, but in fact.

Such a temperament.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to please you. I'm just giving you rewards based on your merits. If you don't accept it, it will appear that I am too generous and harsh on my servants. Okay, you can go." Jingsu lay down directly and ignored her again.

.

Yao Xishi had never seen her act so arrogant, so she was surprised. She stood blankly for a while, showed a faint smile, took out an inconspicuous silver hairpin from her makeup box and took it out.

Already.

Early the next morning, Mansheng conveyed the emperor's decree: the maid Yun was promoted to Yungui, and she would live in the emperor's bedroom before returning to the capital. She would find another place to stay after returning to the palace.

Jingsu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after hearing this. She thought that with Mei as his companion, he probably wouldn't make her do those embarrassing things anymore. But when she thought of Guan Liangyu being imprisoned by him somewhere, and she was helpless,

I felt disheartened.

After leaving the room to get some air, the room next door happened to open the door, and a woman in crescent white clothes walked out. She also saw her and saluted her: "Concubine Yun Guiren pays my regards to Concubine Li, may I be blessed."

By chance, a gust of wind blew through the hall, causing her clothes to flutter and her black hair to fly. A plain and beautiful face appeared in front of Jingsu's eyes. Her eyebrows were as dark as black and her eyes were like stars. She was an extremely beautiful woman.

Jingsu looked at it, but for some reason she felt that the face was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. She was so lost in thought that she forgot to tell her to get up. Unexpectedly, the Yun Gui man got up and said angrily: "Please Li

Concubine, don’t be offended. I am in a hurry to get the cakes ordered by the emperor, so I can’t ask my concubine for advice.”

Jingsu woke up when the figure in front of him moved. The Yungui man had already walked away, and Jingsu didn't say anything.

However, after only one day's journey, she would reach Shangjing Port tomorrow night. Before that, Chongmo actually didn't trouble her anymore. Jingsu felt faintly lucky, but also worried that there would be even greater hardships waiting for her.

It was a rainy day when we arrived at Shangjing Port. In view of such an accident during the trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the people were not alarmed by the return of the Holy Emperor to Beijing. The dragon boat docked, and the group quietly got into the carriage that had been prepared and returned to the palace quietly.

Went.

The Yungui people who were in great favor naturally accompanied the holy driver all the way, riding in the same carriage and horses. Jingsu shared a carriage with Yufei and Shu Guifei, and the remaining maids. Jingsu greeted them as soon as he got in the carriage.

There was no more words to say. Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu looked at each other and remained silent, looking at the wall of the car quietly.

After being bumpy for an hour, we finally arrived at the palace. The queen got the message and had all the concubines in the harem waiting in the inner garden early in the morning. When she saw the carriages and horses coming in, she knelt down to say hello: "Welcome the emperor back to the palace!"

I saw the bright curtain of the first carriage opened, revealing a plain dress. Everyone thought it was Concubine Li. When the emperor came out, without everyone's courtesy, they took a look and realized that the person was not Concubine Li.

The Queen smiled warmly without showing any emotion, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way,"

"Well," Chong Mo said in response, "It's getting late, everyone should go back to the palace." Then he walked away. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and said, "Yun Gui will be here first."

Live in the Hosta Hall."

"Concubine, I obey the order." The Yungui people thanked each other in the eyes of everyone, and then bowed and said: "Concubine, I have few talents and limited qualifications. I hope you will give me more advice from my sisters in the future."

The queen smiled, helped her up personally, and said: "Yungui people don't need to be polite. Since the emperor likes you, you must serve her with all your heart in the future. You must never let down the emperor's wishes."

"Concubine understands."

Jingsu was the last one, unintentionally watching the false entertainment, just looking around the palace walls, feeling infinitely sad in his heart. After more than a month apart, it seemed as if a lifetime had passed. The scenery was still the same, but his mood became more and more sad.

She never expected that such things would happen during a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, which seriously damaged her vitality.

"Okay, it's really getting late. Let's all go back."

After the queen spoke, the concubines who had gathered together dispersed and gathered together in twos and threes to go back to their own palaces. Jingsu also walked back, and Yao Xi followed all the way. She looked back at her and said: "No need."

If you follow me again, I know the way back to the palace."

Yao Xi lowered her head and replied: "Your Majesty has ordered me that I don't need to go back to serve in front of the emperor. I will follow you from now on."
