Chapter 37: Overnight at the Lighting Bamboo Court (3)
Hongde Longqiu looked at her with a frown, studying the information in her eyes, "If it is true, then I am too dangerous."
"Well, that's good. If you know the danger, you should learn to protect yourself and stop getting lost in it."
"But why do I think you are deliberately giving me such a wrong understanding?"
"It's up to you. I know that no one has the ability to influence other people's thoughts. Only the person himself can make the final judgment." Meng Xinzhu turned over and faced the wall.
Hongde Longqiu reached out and stroked her long hair scattered on the pillow, closed his eyes, "If you really came for another country, I will thank the person who sent you. If you really are a secret agent, then
Protect yourself carefully and don't let me know who sent you here. As you said, I am a man of great authority and I am responsible for this country."
In the early morning, Meng Xinzhu moved on the pillow, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the light coming from the window. It was already getting bright. She rubbed her eyes, but found that there was a thin breeze blowing by her neck.
Turning her head hurriedly, Hong Delong Qiu was sleeping soundly with her hair on his pillow. The thin wind was his breath, and one of her hands was tightly held by him.
Meng Xinzhu shook her head and couldn't help but smile. She used to see such descriptions in books, saying that mature men sleep like babies. Now I feel like this when I see Hongde Longqiu's sleeping face. Face to face.
Why else could the baby be angry? She gently pulled her hair out from under his head, sat up, and was about to pull her hand out when she heard the person behind her say:
"Who wakes up from the big dream first? I know it all my life. What is the last sentence?"
Meng Xinzhu sat and sighed, when will this man give up this trick of scaring people from behind?
Hongde Longqiu also sat up and said, "My beloved, I'm awake, please give me a morning kiss!"
"How about I kick your feet!"
"Hahaha, well, now I really miss the former Zhu Fei who looked sick but was gentle and lovely." Hongde Longqiu walked out of bed with a smile, "Xiao Mingzi, come in!"
Meng Xinzhu frowned and looked at Hongde Longqiu who was changing clothes. She had visually measured his height when she saw him for the first time. Now it seemed that he should be 190. She had already seen him half-naked. Judging from his body
Judging from his muscles, his good martial arts took a lot of time. With his appearance, height and figure, if he can reach the 21st century, he will definitely be able to become the number one male model in China. But think of the ancient times
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but laugh as the emperor walked down the catwalk.
"Do I look so funny?"
"Stop peacocking!"
Hong Delong frowned in confusion, "What is my relationship with the peacock?"
"You have nothing to do with peacocks, but you have something to do with dinosaurs. Well, go to your court."
Eunuch Ming and others looked surprised as they listened to Meng Xinzhu talking to the emperor with "you" and "I", but the emperor did not blame her, but smiled broadly.
"Xiao Mingzi, I wish to inform you that Concubine Nianzhu is weak and sick, so she is exempted from the ritual of kneeling down." Meng Xinzhu looked up at him in surprise, while Hongde Longqiu bent down and looked into her eyes, smiling, "I am going to court.
, Bamboo Concubine, have a good rest."
For a time, the emperor stayed overnight in the Bamboo Garden and ordered the Bamboo Concubine to avoid kneeling and worshiping. Rumors spread in the palace. Concubine Yue was stunned for a long time when she heard the news. How could this be done? The emperor did not show up after the fasting period.
Fortunately, the Bamboo Concubine was in Yue Kun Palace. But it was only one night, how could the Bamboo Concubine be favored by the emperor again? Did the emperor notice those eyes?
The Queen Mother drank tea and listened to the eunuch's report. "Oh? The emperor really gave such a decree to Concubine Zhu?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother. It's absolutely true. Eunuch Ming has already drafted the decree."
"Well, then the Ai family really wants to meet this Bamboo Concubine."
Meng Xinzhu silently followed the eunuch sent by the Queen Mother to announce the summons. She had met the Queen Mother when she went to the Eastern Capital. The old man was kind and kind, but Meng Xinzhu felt that she was not what she seemed, because as a palace woman, and
Any woman who can become a queen and finally a queen mother is not an ordinary person. The call of the queen mother must be related to the emperor's decree today, and Meng Xinzhu didn't quite understand how he could suddenly make such a decree.
Meng Xinzhu was about to kneel down, but she heard the Queen Mother say: "Concubine Zhu is exempt from courtesy, and the emperor has exempted you from kneeling down. In the Aijia, there is no need to be polite and sit next to the Aijia!"
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Bamboo carefully and said with a smile: "Concubine Bamboo's eyes are so beautiful, I'm afraid the emperor's whole body would sink into them."
"The Queen Mother's words are serious, I dare not."
"Don't be alarmed. The Ai family doesn't mean to blame you. They sincerely praise you for your good looks. No wonder the emperor likes you. Over the years, the emperor has been doting on Concubine Yue. You are the first one besides Concubine Yue to be served by him.
Sleeper."
"I am terrified!"
The Queen Mother patted the back of Meng Xinzhu's hand and said, "Lao Shi from the Ai family and Yu'er all praise you endlessly. The Ai family has something to tell you, the emperor is the emperor of all people, and every move he makes is related to the fate of the country and the people's livelihood.
As his concubine, you should take good care of the emperor's health. You are also a smart person and should know whether to choose to be Liji or Qing'e."
Who is Li Ji? Who is Qing'e? But judging from the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, she should be equivalent to someone like Queen Changsun or Su Daji. "The Queen Mother teaches, I understand, I know everything."
All should focus on state affairs.”
The Queen Mother nodded, "She is indeed a smart girl, and she knows everything. You must remember what you say, and don't go back on your word like some people do!"
"I understand."
"Let's go back!"
Meng Xinzhu was walking in the imperial garden. It seemed that the Queen Mother was not satisfied with Concubine Yue's special favor. This Queen Mother should have been a good helper during the reign of the late emperor and knew that the world was the most important thing. As she was walking, she saw Concubine Lin sitting there.
In the pavilion in front.
"Sister Concubine Zhu, come and sit down." Meng Xinzhu nodded and walked into the pavilion. Concubine Lin poured her a cup of tea. "Sister, I use tea instead of wine to express my congratulations to my sister."
"Sister's words are serious, can happiness come from time to time?"
Concubine Lin smiled faintly, "My sister broke the special favor of Concubine Yue, went to bed with the emperor, and got the emperor's imperial edict not to kneel down. In this palace, my sister is the only concubine who does not have to kneel to the emperor. This is not
Are you happy?"
Meng Xinzhu took the tea cup and said, "Maybe this is the beginning of sadness." She took a sip lightly.
"Why did my sister say this? I have been in the palace for many years, and I have never seen the emperor treat a concubine like this. Looking at the emperor's love for my sister, I know that he really likes her."
"'I wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig in the earth'. Such a pure and beautiful emotion seems not suitable to exist in the palace. A moment of warmth makes you warm at that moment, but after the passion, what is left?
