The sky is getting dark, but the lights in the imperial city are bright, and palace people are coming and going, creating a prosperous scene.
In Concubine Shu's palace, the maid just finished reporting Luo Meixuan's affairs and looked up at her, "My Lady, I'm afraid that person is not a trouble-free person. What should I do?" There was worry on her brows.
Although their empresses had the help of their maternal clan and were surrounded by splendor and splendor, they were granted the title of concubine as soon as they arrived and took over the power to govern the Sixth Palace. Such glory was unparalleled by anyone. But after only a month in the palace, it was hard to even see the shadow of the emperor.
.
Now that a new talented person has arrived, His Majesty gave Luo Mei Xuan to him casually.
Although the Luomei Pavilion is small, it was the former residence of the beloved concubine of the former dynasty. The plum blossoms that filled the palace were ordered by the late emperor to please the beauty. Everyone in the palace knew that this former beloved concubine was highly respected by His Majesty.
, there is a faint tendency to surpass the Queen Mother.
The flickering candlelight made the light and shadow on Concubine Shu's face flicker. The green hairpin, the beaded armor, and the narrow and charming eyes all made the maid frightened. Concubine Shu glanced at her indifferently, and she shuddered and hurriedly
He lowered his head and went down.
Concubine Shu picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, put the tea cup down, and said softly, "The tea today is too strong and tastes bitter."
The maid standing beside her had sweat on her forehead. She hurriedly took the tea cup and bowed down.
She tapped her armor lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, "She is just a talented person. Once she is promoted to concubine, it will not be too late to be afraid of her."
Why didn't she take the initiative to look for His Majesty? But how could His Majesty ever take a look at her?
Your Majesty is a casual person. If you really care about that person, how could you let her dominate the limelight as soon as she comes? Doesn't this arouse her jealousy? She also understands the intention of her family to send her to the palace. But His Majesty doesn't look at her directly.
You can't blame her for not trying her best, right?
"But this Luomei Xuan——" The palace maid glanced at Concubine Shu at the top and lingered hesitantly.
Concubine Shu also knew the origin of Luo Mei Xuan, but she still looked calm and calm, but she was not angry or assertive, "You mean Luo Mei Xuan can be compared to the main palace?"
He said it softly, but it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it made the maid bend down, "I don't dare."
Concubine Shu's eyes fell on the half-open door. The reliefs of flowers, birds, fish and insects on it were made by skilled craftsmen and were so vivid that they seemed to come to life after just one breath.
Luo Mei Xuan.
Ruan Yuyi stepped out of the wooden barrel, and the water rippled in the barrel, causing the petals inside to sway. Her feet were as white as jade, carrying some water drops with them, leaving a small puddle of water where she stood.
Mu Xiang didn't wipe her body and change clothes, but only gave her a loose-knit hairdo.
Because I guessed that His Majesty would come to inform her tonight, I prepared early and did not dare to neglect.
The young lady was always afraid of the cold. With her cheeks flushed, it took a lot of effort to change into the gauze dress, and then put on an ordinary skirt outside, and then walked out of the bathroom.
The mist was steaming inside the bathroom, and when I came out, I still felt the candlelight outside was dazzling for a while.
She leaned on the couch and waited for the eunuch to give her instructions. Since it was difficult to fall asleep easily, she drank strong tea to stave off her tiredness. However, the shadow of the candle shook and a small part of the candle body burned, and she could not wait for a long time.
.
"Miss," Mu Xiang said softly, not wanting her to be wronged, "Why don't you rest first, it's too late."
She glanced out the window and saw that the sky outside was indeed dark.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Mu Ling walked in with an angry look on his face, "Miss, I heard that that person went to Chonghua Palace, so it saves the lady from being tired."
Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyes slowly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes. The one who lived in Chonghua Palace was Concubine Shu, the one that Grandma Jin told her to be careful about.
The imperial concubine Shu was in great favor, so it was normal for him to stick to that side first.
She didn't say anything and stood up with a calm look on her face, "Then let's take a rest earlier. It's really been a hard day today." Perhaps she was a little frightened by him. After hearing this, she knew she didn't have to face him anymore, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't feel left out.
Mu Ling saw that the young lady didn't take it to heart, and most of his anger was gone. He helped to pick up the lamp and put down the bed curtain.
The room suddenly became dark.
I don't know how long it took, but sleep gradually enveloped her mind, and she fell into chaos. Half asleep and half awake, she felt that her body was suddenly suspended in the air, and she suddenly woke up.
There was a familiar fragrance in her nose. She was startled and felt a little more at ease. She stretched out her hand to push him, "Why is your Majesty here?" Her voice was soft and weak, delicate and angry, but it sounded a bit complaining in Jiang Huaiyang's ears.
exist.
But how could he let her down and walk straight out, "Where does Lingling think I should be?"
Naturally, it was in Concubine Shu's palace. She wanted to say it out loud, but she felt that it was too much to say, so she swallowed the words back.
The wooden spirit guarding the outer room was startled by Jingjing, her sleepiness disappeared, and she stood up suddenly. Only to find that the person she was wary of was the new emperor, she opened her mouth and could only watch Ruan Yuyi being taken away.
She stood for a moment, then turned around to inform Mu Xiang about this.
It was slightly colder outside than inside, and Ruan Yuyi was wearing thin and empty clothes. The cool breeze penetrated her clothes and caressed her skin teasingly.
She could feel the smooth fabric rubbing against her body, and the man's forearms were holding her up strongly. She didn't know whether it was from the cold or from his side. There was no rouge on her face, but it was crimson.
He glanced at the little lady in his arms. Two thin belts protruded from under her coat and were tied into a knot at the back of her neck. Perhaps they had rubbed against her while she was sleeping, and a long reddish mark appeared on the back of her neck.
Especially eye-catching on greasy snow.
His eyes darkened slightly, but he still walked steadily.
He had just been immersed in political affairs and had no time to care about other things. But the news that he had gone to Chonghua Palace spread like wildfire. Although it was spread deliberately, it also meant that he was letting it go.
He just wanted to see how she would react after learning about this matter.
Although the lights in the palace had not yet dimmed, it was still dimmer than during the day. Wen Zhi lowered his head and held the palace lantern, following behind him. The little light flickered all the way to the Yangxin Hall.
She noticed a few lines of sight, so she buried her head on his shoulder and neck. His area had been blown by the cold wind, but it was not as warm as her forehead.
She heard the sound of the palace door being opened.
Ruan Yuyi turned her face slightly and looked around unconsciously. In the huge palace, everything was available. On the clothes rack was a jade belt hanging from the court dress. There were also several memorials spread out on the tables. A bright yellow soft curtain separated the inner room.
They were all traces of the emperor's life and were unfamiliar to her. For the first time, all of this was so clearly before her eyes that she suddenly realized and clearly realized his identity.
In the past, he got along with her as the prince, and she was still close to him. Now the person holding her is the king, and he has the world on his shoulders, so how can he be entangled in the love between his children.
Being able to describe him as romantic, and still convinced by the first impression, she suddenly felt that Yu Yueqian was a little ridiculous.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little empty in her heart, and her hand loosened her grip on his clothes.
Outside of the gauze, she only wore a shirt, so her graceful figure was easily outlined when moving or still.
"Very well-behaved, well-dressed," Jiang Huaiyang reached for her waist and mentioned it deliberately, "Lingling, these clothes match you very well." His hot breath filled her ears.
There was shame in her heart, and soon she looked like she was in tears.
