Chapter 5 The Dragon Girl Stands Out for the Talented
Since that night, Long Chuxia has never been to Huaye Pond. Otherwise, it will bring trouble to herself.
About half a month has passed, and the emperor has probably forgotten that this ending for her is the most perfect. When she gets tired of living in the palace, she will leave here. Of course, she will definitely take Dai Dongguan away without him.
, what fun is there in being a human being? In the past three years, she has become accustomed to eating the delicacies he cooked, and she has no regard for food from outside.
But Dai Dongguan was unwilling to leave the palace. He was so infatuated that people wanted to beat him up. He said that he said a very philosophical thing to Long Chuxia: You have the life you want to live, and I have never interfered.
What do you mean? I also have people I want to protect, so don’t interfere with me.
Long Chuxia said that he would take Concubine Shu out of the palace, but Dai Dongguan said that he could not give Concubine Shu the life she wanted, so even if Concubine Shu was willing to leave the palace with him, he was not willing
Long Chuxia had no choice but to stay in the palace for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to slowly lobby Dai Dongguan
She and Liang Cairen occasionally interacted with each other, but Long Chuxia's temperament had always been indifferent, so even if they interacted, they were just ordinary interactions, and they did not develop the everlasting friendship she mentioned before.
However, that night, something big happened in the harem, and it was related to Liang Cairen.
In fact, Long Chuxia had warned her before that this matter would be discovered sooner or later. Paper could not stop the fire. But Liang Cairen was focused on the guard, so how could he take Liang Cairen's warning to heart?
Finally, their affair was discovered by several eunuchs. The eunuchs reported it to Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua ordered people to catch them. Now they are locked up in the darkroom of Yilan Palace. It is said that they are preparing to report to the emperor and make him punished.
Long Chuxia originally didn't know about this matter, but when she went to the imperial kitchen to find Dai Dongguan, Dai Dongguan remembered that she had been in contact with Liang Cairen, so he informed her of the matter. She asked casually: "
How will the Emperor handle this matter?"
Dai Dongguan sneered, "The adulterer will definitely be beheaded."
"Beheading?" Long Chuxia was stunned for a moment. Yes, in this dynasty, this matter required beheading and immersing in a pig cage. Thinking that Liang Cairen was just a little girl in her 18s, she must have fallen in love with the guard.
Otherwise, how could you dare to risk your life and stay with him?
When Dai Dongguan saw her silence, he warned: "Don't be meddlesome. This is a serious matter of beheading."
Long Chuxia smiled faintly, "Do I have that much ability to ask questions?"
"Be careful about everything. This is the truth of living in the palace. If something happens to you, I can't save you!" Dai Dongguan brought her a bowl of lotus seed soup, "In the palace, there is delicious food for you.
Just eat and do whatever work is available. Do you care about other people's lives? It has nothing to do with you."
Long Chuxia took the lotus seed soup, the sweet smell lingering on the tip of her nose, rolled up her huge sleeves, and started eating with a smile on her face.
Dai Dongguan asked again: "Is there anyone bullying you in Yingjuyuan? If anyone bullies you, please tell me. I am also an imperial cook after all, and I have some friendship with the manager..."
"No one bullies me!" Long Chuxia said quickly. Dai Dongguan would ask her this question every once in a while. She knew that he actually looked at her as a friend.
Dai Dongguan was doubtful, "With your temper, no one has bullied you for three years?"
Long Chuxia smiled lightly, "I don't seek credit, and I don't offend others. Why do people bully me?"
"You, it's time to fight hard. Most of the people who entered the palace at the same time as you have become aunts. You are the only one who is still the sweeping maid in Yingjuyuan. Do you want me to take care of it for you?"
"No need, it's good to be a sweeping maid!" Long Chuxia stretched her body, "There aren't many things to do, I can make a living by just lifting the broom every day, I'm free and at ease."
Dai Dongguan glared at her with hatred, and then said: "There are many young and promising guards in the palace. You should carefully look for them, so that you can marry a good man when you leave the palace in the future!"
"
I remember that a few days earlier, Long Chuxia had asked him for advice on men and women. He felt that she probably wanted to get married. Dai Dongguan was also quite worried about her.
Long Chuxia said seriously: "Okay, I will look for them!" After Dai Dongguan mentioned it, she remembered that there were many young and handsome men in the palace. Perhaps, she could develop a temporary bed partner.
Leaving Dai Dongguan's place, she passed by Shanglin Garden and saw many palace people walking toward Zhaoning Palace from a distance, embracing a bright yellow figure. Although the distance was far away, Long Chuxia could still see that his face was full of
Frost, eyes filled with anger
Probably because of Liang Cairen's affairs, Long Chuxia thought so
She continued to walk forward slowly. In this harem, it was safest not to ask questions about anything. Although she slept with the emperor and had a physical relationship, she had no relationship with the emperor at all. She was
Completely speechless
When they returned to Yingju Garden, they heard the palace maids in Yingju Garden whispering, and the topic was nothing more than the affair between Liang Cairen and the guards. When he saw her coming in, he remembered that she had some friendship with Liang Cairen in the past, and asked: "
Chuxia, have you heard about Liang Cairen?"
Long Chuxia nodded: "I heard about it."
"Liang Cairen is really brave. You know this is a capital crime!" Another palace maid said.
"It's okay to die on my own. I heard that it will harm everyone in the family, so this is innocent!"
Long Chuxia was stunned for a moment: "It will harm the family? This should not happen?"
"It will definitely happen, and maybe they will all be beheaded!" the palace maid said cautiously.
Long Chuxia said oh and said nothing more. It would be reasonable to punish Liang Cairen, but if it affects his family, then this emperor is really unwise.
Thinking of Liang Cairen's cute little face, Long Chuxia felt a pity in her heart. Apart from Dai Dongguan, she didn't have a single friend in the harem. She only had some slight friendship with Liang Cairen. It must be the same for Liang Cairen. The harem favors
Being indifferent, making friends is not easy.
She stood up, picked up the broom and walked out. The maid behind her shouted: "Chu Xia, it's time to eat soon!"
"I've eaten!" Long Chuxia moved very quickly and was far away in an instant, but her voice came from the air unhurriedly, and her words were clear.
Zhaoning Palace is the queen's dormitory, located to the east of the imperial city. Apart from the emperor's Huiyang Palace, Zhaoning Palace is the largest and most exquisitely decorated palace.
Seen from a distance, the eaves of Zhaoning Palace extend out in a curved manner, with distinct layers and dazzling glazed tiles, which are even more brilliant under the sunlight.
There are peonies and crabapples planted in the palace, pavilions, pavilions, and houses are laid out in an orderly manner. Zhaoning Palace, which was originally very peaceful, is now enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
In the Zhaoyang Hall, the main hall of Zhaoning Palace, the emperor was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the chair of the Grand Master. His expression was unclear, seeming angry or cold.
Sitting next to him was a woman of about thirty years old. She was wearing a golden Sichuan brocade dress with peony patterns. She had a high bun and a jade hairpin. She looked extraordinary. Look at her appearance, oval face, fair skin, and eyes.
She is very big, with a hint of anger, a small nose, and a cherry-lipped mouth. She is considered to be of superior beauty, but the traces of time can be seen in the corners of her eyes. She is the virtuous queen of Feng Kingdom.
And next to her, there sat a stunningly beautiful woman. Her beauty was a bit sharp, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her facial features were very delicate, and her face was hard to find any faults. She could almost be described as the queen of a country.
She was wearing a long dress of pomegranate red gauze and gold silk embroidery, and a golden blouse as thin as cicada wings. She leaned on the chair slantingly, her eyes narrowed, and her eyes were fixed on the kneeling emperor.
The man and woman in front of him are so imposing. It doesn’t take much to think that they are the concubine Hua Guifei who is currently favoring her.
There were many concubines standing on both sides, but they did not dare to express their anger and stood quietly.
Those kneeling on the ground were Liang Cai and her lover Liu Shiwei.
Liang Cairen's face was swollen, his bun was loose, and blood stains could be seen in many places on his body. He must have been beaten severely. Liu Guardsman was also in a very embarrassed state, with his hair disheveled and blood bleeding from the corners of his lips. He was kneeling on the ground, watching.
They were about to faint at any moment. Both of them had death-like despair on their faces, and fear kept enlarging in their pupils.
