"Your Majesty, my brother has superb medical skills. He is allowed to show up. There is really a magic medicine that can cure the emperor, but...but the emperor issued a wanted death order for him. My brother may be afraid...to hide. The emperor might as well rewrite the edict, p>
Spare him the death penalty?"
Bei Gonglie's hands tightly grasped the collar on his chest. The pain in his heart made it difficult for him to breathe. He nodded and said: "Okay... draft the decree immediately!"
The gentle man raised the corners of his lips invisibly, lowered his head and responded: "Yes."
At the end of Yin Shi, it will be dawn.
Chu Jiaoli woke up to the soothing sound of a xun. She raised her hand to take off the hair tie that covered her eyes, but then put her hand down.
In the dim candlelight, Beigong Tengxiao was sitting by the window, wearing a loose nightgown and holding a xun made of white jade in his hand.
The sound of the xun is soothing and slightly sad. This is one of the songs Chu Jiaoli used to play most often.
She lay quietly and listened to him finish playing a song, then she opened her lips and said, "I've only seen you play the zither on weekdays, but I didn't know you could play the xun."
Beigong Tengxiao looked down at the xun, raised his hand and gently stroked the texture on it, and said: "Zheng, Qin, Se, Xun, Xiao, flute, and konghou are all good at it."
Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile and said: "It seems that my concubine's understanding of the prince is only superficial."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his head and glanced at her, saying: "It may not be a good thing to know too much."
Chu Jiaoli stroked the patterns on the embroidered pillow with her fingers and said with a smile: "Isn't the prince also trying to understand me?"
As the words fell, Beigong Tengxiao's eyes became dark.
He never liked to talk much. After meeting her, he just wanted to enter her world.
In his opinion, it is enough to understand her needs and likes and do everything he can to satisfy her.
As for his dull and boring experience, there is no need to mention it.
Unable to respond, Chu Jiaoli couldn't help but feel lonely. There were some birdsong outside the window, and it was time for him to leave.
She pursed her lips and said, "As a favored concubine, can I ask the prince for a gift?"
Beigong Tengxiao stood up, walked to the bed, picked up his robe from the end of the bed and put it on, straightened his collar, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What do you want?"
"The xun that the prince played just now, I like the sound."
Beigong Tengxiao was stunned for a moment, then showed a faint smile and responded lightly: "Yeah."
After he put the jade xun into her hand,
Then he turned and left.
Chu Jiaoli grasped the xun in her hands with both hands. The touch made her feel inexplicably familiar and safe.
She curled up,
Fell into a deep sleep.
When I wake up again,
It's dawn.
She sat in front of the dressing table, with Linglong behind her carefully combing her long hair.
A maid came in from outside the door and said: "Madam, Aunt Xu wants to see you."
Chu Jiaoli, who was holding the lipstick paper, paused for a moment. She slowly put the lipstick paper down, nodded and said: "Let her come in."
"Yes."
The next moment, Xu Qingqian walked in with her skirt in hand. Through the bead curtain, she smiled and saluted Chu Jiaoli and said, "Concubine, please give my regards to the concubine."
Chu Jiaoli showed a polite smile and said: "Sit down."
"Yes."
Chu Jiaoli picked up Shi Dai, drew her eyebrows seriously in front of the bronze mirror, and said: "There is still a quarter of an hour until Chen time. Sister, please don't send me greetings too early next time."
Xu Qingqian nodded and said: "I understand."
Chu Jiaoli glanced at her gently and said, "Have you given your regards to Princess Princess?"
Xu Qingqian shook her head and said with a smile: "I want to live close to my sister, the concubine, so I will first pay my respects to my sister, and then go to the main concubine's palace later."
Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, her voice lowered a little, and said: "No matter how inconvenient it is, you must abide by the rules. There is still a quarter of an hour, so hurry to the Princess Palace and don't miss the time." p>
Xu Qingqian was stunned for a moment, looking at the stern Chu Jiaoli in front of her, she also held her breath, bowed her head in dissatisfaction, then turned and left.
Linglong snorted softly and said: "It seems that she wants to curry favor with our queen."
Chu Jiaoli said calmly: "It's normal for juniors who are new here to want to find someone to support them."
"If she doesn't greet the princess at all times, the princess will definitely find trouble with her. Why would the empress help her?"
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said, "Who do you think is the one who offended the princess if I don't help her?"
Linglong thought for a while and then nodded: "My queen is still thoughtful."
Two quarters of an hour later.
Xu Qingqian, who originally had a gloomy face, finally had a smile. She returned to the side concubine palace, saluted Chu Jiaoli, and said: "Thank you sister side concubine for the reminder. I heard from the maids in the main concubine palace that the princess is...
Waiting for the concubine to come late, so as to teach the concubine a lesson."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli still had that tepid smile. She sat in front of the tea table and said to her: "Sit down."
"Yes."
After Xu Qingqian took her seat, Linglong also poured her a cup of tea.
Chu Jiaoli pushed a brocade box on the table in front of her and said: "I didn't know that my sister came into the house yesterday, and I didn't make all the preparations. This is a meeting gift from me to you. I specially went to the store yesterday to select the ingredients.
, I just made it today, let me see if my sister likes it?"
After saying that, Xu Qingqian opened the box. Inside the brocade box was a jadeite bracelet inlaid with gold wire. It was transparent and shiny, and valuable.
Xu Qingqian's eyes lit up, and she quickly put the jade bracelet on her hand. She said with joy, "Sister Concubine, you are so kind to Qingqian."
Chu Jiaoli smiled gently, said nothing, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Xu Qingqian rolled her eyes again, moved closer to Chu Jiaoli, and whispered: "Sister Concubine, do you know where the prince likes to go and what he likes to do on weekdays?"
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.
Xu Qingqian frowned slightly and said: "Sister Concubine, I have been married for so long, don't you still understand the prince?"
Chu Jiaoli slowly put down the tea cup and said: "I will not inquire into the prince's private affairs."
Xu Qingqian lowered her head in frustration and said, "Does sister know how often the prince comes to the concubine's palace?"
Chu Jiaoli coldly squinted her eyes slightly and said, "My sister is going to be disappointed. The prince only loves the princess, and I have never served the prince."
Xu Qingqian bit her lip in annoyance. This concubine looked ordinary, not like a beautiful concubine who would compete for favors at all. Although her temperament was refined and extraordinary, she didn't expect that she was an abandoned woman! She might as well be dressed up and dressed up.
Where is the princess!
She is really stupid, she is with the wrong person!
Chu Jiaoli glanced at her, with all the regret and anger in her eyes, and she slightly raised the corners of her lips.
Sure enough, Xu Qingqian didn't like to talk more, so she bowed and left.
The sun was shining brightly, and Chu Jiaoli was sitting on the swing in the courtyard, holding in her hand the white jade xun left by Beigong Tengxiao.
She was fascinated by it, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
She slowly put the xun to her lips, and she unconsciously played a piece of music that was engraved in her bones.
