"Taohong, I can't let the emperor find out. It turned out that it wasn't that bad before, but now it's really not possible. I know..." Concubine Yi said, tears fell, which made Taohong feel distressed and comforted her, "Maybe the emperor is just
Come and rest, my dear, don’t think so much.”
Yi Fei shook her head like a rattle and held Tao Hong's hand tightly: "But I want to keep him. He can't sleep anywhere. He used to love coming to Yikun Palace. I know why. Without those things,
Why would he think of me?"
The question of nakedness was placed in front of her, and Taohong was speechless. Gradually, she felt that something was wrong with the way the empress looked at her. She panicked, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Empress, I can't be a slave. I don't want you to have any ideas about me.
ah."
Concubine Yi bit her lip and trembled, holding on to Taohong without letting go, almost pleading: "Taohong, please help me, you are good-looking, the emperor will like it."
Taohong turned pale with fright and said tremblingly: "I have been in the palace longer than you. How can I have any face if I go out like this? I just want to serve you well." She was so frightened that she turned around and saw the light in the side hall.
, hurriedly said, "Zhang promised, my dear, if you really want to find someone to replace you, wouldn't Zhang promise be the best?"
Concubine Yi looked at Zhang Jia's house, was stunned for a moment and said, "Is she willing? Is she willing to wait outside and come in to serve her at any time?"
Thinking about that fragrant scene makes people panic. How could Taohong know whether Zhang would agree or not, but it was her who said the words. I guess she didn't find a replacement. I don't know how to solve this matter tonight.
, not caring about that much, got up and ran to the house Zhang promised to ask for help.
Concubine Yi was waiting where she was, seeing that the Holy Driver was about to arrive outside, and then she saw Taohong running back with a red face and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang promised that she is willing. After a while, she will turn off the lights and hide outside to get ready. Madam, do you have anything?"
If necessary, she can come in at any time, and if nothing happens overnight, she will leave early."
Yi Fei bit her lip tightly, and Tao Hong wiped away her tears and persuaded her: "You look good when you smile. Later, Long Live Lord asked you why you were crying. What did you say?"
"I know." Concubine Yi shook her head, rubbed her cheeks with both hands, tried to smile, took a deep breath, and went to the palace gate to pick her up.
The emperor came in a carriage, keeping a straight face all the way. Eunuch Liang did not dare to express his anger. Finally, he arrived at the palace gate and saw Concubine Yi waiting outside. He thought that what happened next had nothing to do with him.
, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. When Xuan Ye saw Yi Fei, he finally softened his face. When he walked into the light, he had a smile on his face and said gently: "It's very hot outside, and mosquitoes are attracted.
What are you doing waiting outside?"
When Concubine Yi saw the emperor, she couldn't help but feel happy. She held her arms and said, "It's only a few steps away. I also want to see Long Live Lord as soon as possible."
Xuan Ye smiled and said nothing, and walked in with her. Concubine Yi followed her closely, holding her arms affectionately and not caring that there were palace maids and eunuchs beside her. Although Xuan Ye had always known that Concubine Yi was like this, he was somewhat a little confused today.
I couldn't help but feel awkward at the smell of completing a task. Moreover, it couldn't be done once, and it would take some time to make Concubine Yi happy. Thinking about it, it was all thanks to Lan Qi, but what kind of strength did he have?
If something is wrong, why should you listen to her?
Thinking wildly, he had already entered the door, washed his hands and changed clothes, and sat down to drink tea. Concubine Yi held a round fan and waved it gently beside him. After all, he had been with him for more than ten years and had given birth to three sons in succession. Concubine Yi knew that the emperor lived at night.
Xuan Ye really couldn't find any faults with it, and he took care of it carefully.
He didn't dislike Guo Luoluo very much in the first place, not to mention that he had always used her to balance the favors in the palace. Concubine Yi was not as vicious as Concubine Hui who could cause trouble in the palace. He was crazy to deal with her ruthlessly in the first place.
His biological sister is also shocking enough. They have been getting along with each other for these years without any success and fault. The emperor is also happy to have someone to serve him wholeheartedly, but tonight...
"Your Majesty is so serious. Could it be that the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother and others just jumped out of a stone?"
Lan Qi's words were wrapped around Xuan Ye's ears like a curse. He didn't know if he would think of them when facing other women in the future, but when facing Concubine Yi, when he thought of these words, he lost all interest.
The only fire in my heart was directed at the person who said this. When I was so angry, I just wanted to go to Yonghe Palace to teach her a lesson.
The two emperors and concubines each have their own thoughts. In fact, Concubine Yi is not willing to let anyone take care of her for the rest of the night. There are many ways to serve her, but she still needs some courage to do those things, and if the emperor asks her, or insists on that
What should she do? The best thing is for the emperor to take a rest when he is tired and wait for her to recover from her injuries. She is still young and doesn't believe that she can't recover.
One didn't want to serve, the other didn't want to be served. They were two people who could go against each other, but neither one could tell the truth. Xuan Ye lingered in front of the desk to read the secrets that Eunuch Liang had brought with him. He could usually do it in three to five times.
It took a lot of time to finish the work today. It was obviously just a few boring pamphlets reporting on local trivial matters and greetings, but he actually gave people approval word for word in a serious manner. Maybe he would be shocked when he handed over the pamphlets later and received these.
Half dead.
Concubine Yi was bored with waiting, and was worried about whether Zhang Jia was ready. The atmosphere in the room was awkward. When Xuan Ye suddenly raised his head, he saw Concubine Yi's tense face. His mind was agitated and he asked hurriedly.
She said: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I see you look very bad."
Concubine Yi touched her cheek in panic, came over with a fan and said with a smile: "I'm fine, my concubine. Is the emperor going to rest?"
Xuan Ye said gently: "Don't worry, but if you are tired, I will talk to you."
When Concubine Yi heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She couldn't help but laugh, and asked Xuan Ye: "What does the emperor want to say to my concubine?"
The emperor was stunned by the question. He stood up and pulled her to the couch. His mind was racing, and he remembered the booklet sent by Shengjing a few days ago. He talked about things about her hometown there, talking nonsense about some and everything.
And he also noticed that Concubine Yi was not as enthusiastic and clinging as before. In the past, she had been clinging to her for a long time. Today, she always had a distant attitude. Xuan Ye thought to himself, it would be best not to cling to her. He is really
No thought at all.
After the two rested, they kept chatting away. Concubine Yi had a lively temperament. Although her words were a little off-key, she was not too boring at all. Gradually she became tired and sleepy, and they just fell asleep peacefully.
Everyone seemed to be relieved. When the palace finally became quiet and the maids from outside came in quietly to blow out the candles, Xuan Ye waited for them to walk out, turned around and looked at Yi Fei's blurred cheeks in the dim light. He suddenly remembered
Some things that cannot be said out loud seem to make it clear why Concubine Yi is different tonight than before.
The emperor suddenly became happy. He who had no idea how to handle this matter from the moment he entered the house, suddenly had an idea, turned over and fell asleep with a smile, finally feeling at ease.
Outside the dormitory, in addition to Taohong and several palace maids, Zhang Yao, who was wearing a trench coat and had her hair loose, was also sitting and waiting. At this moment, the palace maid blew out the candle and said she was asleep inside, so Taohong came to invite her back in embarrassment.
Zhang promised to wear only pajamas and underpants under his cloak, a completely shameful outfit. He suppressed his nervousness and waited for most of the night. Finally, the worst thing didn't happen, and his heart fell heavily into his stomach.
She has given birth to a son and a daughter to the emperor, so she is not shy about it, but it is really shameful. If she really goes in, what will she do when she meets the emperor? Today she looked at Yi Fei with new eyes again, in order to gain favor.
, can even think of such unbelievable things, and in order to continue to gain a foothold in Yikun Palace, he has to give in to Chenghuan.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
After a night of peace, although there was no courtesy from the Duke of Zhou, the emperor was considerate and caring towards Concubine Yi. She felt satisfied with the kindness of the rain and dew, which was enough to make Concubine Yi's face glowing with pride. She sent the emperor away the next day and waited for Zhang to agree to come.
At that time, he also praised her loyalty and said sincerely: "The emperor always likes you more, it just hurts my face. Just wait, the emperor will turn over your sign in a few days, and I will also
I won’t treat you badly.”
Zhang promised to obey everything, but in her heart, the relationship between husband and wife was normal, but it suddenly made her feel sick. She knew that Concubine Yi was injured and could not take care of her. Although she had been asking the imperial doctor to come up with a solution, who knew that it would be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
It can be cured. All women have given birth to children. If they are injured, they are injured. She understands it very well.
And last night she was asked to wait outside the door, maybe she would be sent in in the future. Only at this moment did she realize that the hard days in the wolf den had just begun?
Lan Qi met the emperor by chance in Ningshou Palace two days later and went to pay his respects. She spoke seriously in front of the Queen Mother. Because Grandma Sumala was in poor health, the emperor said he wanted to visit. The Queen Mother asked Lan Qi to accompany her.
It is said that grandma is most afraid of disobedience in front of the emperor. Don't let the emperor suddenly come in and scare grandma. Let her take care of her.
Lan Qi took the order, and the emperor and concubine came out together, a few steps behind Xuan Ye. She was glared at when the two met today. She guessed it was because of Yikun Palace, and she didn't care whether Yikun Palace kept records.
It was just an agreement with Xuan Ye that when he made Concubine Yi happy, he would give her a hint.
"Mother..." Huan Chun suddenly spoke out at this moment, but she didn't have time to call out to her, and just watched her master bump into the emperor.
Lan Qi walked with her head lowered, just a few steps behind Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye suddenly stopped and turned around. Of course she couldn't stop, but luckily she didn't fall. She rubbed her head and took a few steps back. Xuan Ye almost wanted to eat her.
The look in his eyes frightened her.
The emperor seemed to be controlling his temper. He raised his hand and pointed outwards, saying coldly: "Go back, I don't want to see you now."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who heard it changed. Lan Qi herself was also shocked. She stared at Xuan Ye blankly, her heart pounding. The words "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" came up, but still
Before she could panic, Xuan Ye suddenly stepped closer and said with hatred: "Go back and wait while I settle many accounts with you."
Lan Qi's heart relaxed as she raised her throat, and when she saw Xuan Ye turning around and walking towards Grandma, she followed him without giving up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say about Grandma."
Xuan Ye suddenly turned his cannibalistic gaze. Lan Qi smiled stupidly and took half a step back. But she quickly tried to calm down and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I can't drag my mother's body any longer."
