In the early morning, the morning sun rises, and there is a layer of cool dew on the ground. I carry water to water the flowers and plants. Jasper is busy coming and going, and I don’t know what she is busy with. Xiaoqing, Xiaocui, Xiaodezi, Xiaoshizi Xiao.
Xizi and other palace maids and eunuchs were playing in the yard.
Logically speaking, I don't have to do these tasks, but sitting around all day long is boring! I just finished watering the flowers and asked Xiao Cui to put away the tools. I was about to lie down on the recliner to rest for a while. The morning sun was already a little warm.
, although the wind is still a bit cool.
Five or six eunuchs came in carrying a large carved pear wood bed.
"Why are you bringing a bed to my place?"
Seeing me asking questions, the six eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and said, "Reply to your Majesty, the Emperor ordered us to carry it here."
"Why did the emperor ask you to bring a bed? I don't want it, bring it back!"
"I asked them to send it!" The emperor walked in, exuding irresistible domineering and majesty that no one dared to look up to.
"What does the emperor mean by sending me a bed? Could it be that he is reminding Rou'er that his performance dissatisfied the emperor?" I said with a smile, a distant and indifferent smile.
"I...I heard from Rou'er that the bed was too small, so I had someone make a new big bed and bring it over. I thought Rou'er would be happy."
"I don't need to remind you, Rou'er knows the emperor's thoughts."
"Rou'er really knows?" The emperor looked happy.
"Yes, the emperor wants to be with Rou'er on this bed. That's really embarrassing. Rou'er doesn't have the intention to please the emperor. Please ask the emperor to take back this gift. Rou'er has no control over who you give it to.
"
"No one can refuse my wishes!"
"Oh? I'm sorry, but Rou'er is so bold and doesn't understand the kindness of the emperor." I glanced at the emperor's cold face with disdain, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Is it possible that the emperor still wants to use that trick? That Rou'er is really
If you can’t resist, you can only let yourself be slaughtered.”
"You!" The emperor was blocked and speechless. It took him a long time to hold back a few words: "You really don't want it?"
"No!" I turned away and ignored him, lying on the lounge chair and closing my eyes to bask in the sun.
"Burn it!" The emperor said two words and walked away. Unfortunately, the six eunuchs had to carry the heavy pear wood bed to find a place to burn it.
"Your Majesty," Biyu thoughtfully covered me with a blanket and said worriedly, "Why did your Majesty bother to annoy the Emperor? Just accept it if you send it to me. If you refuse the Emperor in person, he will lose face. He will punish your Majesty in anger."
How good."
"He can do whatever he wants, I don't want to care about him."
"Empress..."
"Biyu." I opened my eyes and looked at Biyu, my tone was more serious than ever before, "Whenever I leave, you can leave the palace if you can. Don't die in this cage forever. If you can't, go and serve Qin."
Concubine, sister Qin is also a kind-hearted person and will not make things difficult for my servants."
"Why do you say such things so politely?"
"I don't want to die of old age in this palace. I'm afraid that I will become a resentful woman who only cares about pleasing the emperor and is obsessed with competing for favors. I am still so young and don't want to waste my good time in this cage. If I have to stay in the palace all my life, I will
I would rather die." I said solemnly, looking at the blue sky.
"Your Majesty..." Biyu's eyes were red, "My Majesty, don't think about the things that are available and not available. It's important to take care of yourself. Did your Majesty have a heartache again last night?"
I nodded: "I've been feeling heartache a lot lately. Every time I think about being trapped in this cage every day and not being able to be with the people I love, my heart hurts so much that I don't want to live and suffer anymore."
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
"Forget it, why bother? Anyway, my heartache doesn't last for a day or two. In the past, every time I encountered extremely sad things, my heartache would always break out. Every time it happened, I would sweat like rain, and my heartache would be unstoppable, just like...
The knife was cutting into my heart, and the blood was dripping and the flesh and blood were blurred."
"Empress..." Biyu shed tears.
"Silly Biyu, why are you crying? Birth, old age, illness and death are destiny. As long as you live happily while you are alive, you will have no regrets when you die."
"My Lady, stop thinking so wildly. Your Majesty said you should live a happy life, but why can't you do it? It's useless to think about those messy things. Why don't you be happy, take care of yourself, and in the future... in the future?
If there is a chance to leave the palace, I will be in good health and escape."
I stared at Biyu for a long time. Biyu was so flustered by my stare that she looked at herself carefully. There was nothing wrong with her. "Biyu, I didn't expect you to be so exquisite and clear. So I just said to our Biyu girl, I'm the queen."
, just have a happy life, block it when soldiers come, and cover it when water comes! No matter what the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubines, the worst is to take a kitchen knife and risk your life to fight with them!"
"Yeah!" Biyu also echoed with high spirits.
"Your Majesty, you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you tell us the story in the book?" Xiaoqing Xiaocui came over, holding my rocking chair and looking forward to it.
"I won't tell stories or jokes today. Today, my dear, I will act, sing, and know how to do it!"
"Concert? Madam, what is a concert?"
“Concerts are just that—singing!”
"It's great! Your Majesty is going to have a concert! Come and listen, everyone!" Xiao Cui greeted everyone with a loud voice. After a while, all the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard came running over, more than twenty people in total.
Including the guards standing at the entrance of the courtyard, there were more than thirty people in total.
"Xiaoqing Xiaocui, you two go and invite Concubine Qin. Let's give her a good time today! Xiao Dezi, you lead everyone to set up a small stage with a table. Biyu, you give me makeup."
"Yes, empress!" Everyone took the order and left.
I was doing my makeup in front of the bronze mirror, thinking about what song to sing from time to time, while Biyu was rummaging around in front of the closet.
"Mother, what do you want to wear for your stay? Is this bright yellow one good? Or red or light green..." Suddenly there was no sound. I turned my head in confusion, only to find Biyu standing in the clothes.
In front of the cupboard, there was a bright yellow dress in his hand without moving, and a eunuch in red clothes stood at the door.
I glanced at the eunuch and said displeasedly: "Which palace are you a eunuch in? I didn't ask you to come in, get out!" The eunuch glanced at me and walked towards me gracefully, with a charming smile on his lips.
, if there is, if not.
"Get out! No, you are not a eunuch. How can a eunuch dress up in such a fancy way? You are... there is someone coming! There is an assassin!" I shouted at the top of my voice. The man was stunned, and swayed towards me.
In front of me, he covered my mouth and whispered in my ear: "Xiao Nuo, it's me!"
"My hero, you came to me just for money. I will give it to you. I will give you all the money. You...don't kill me!" I shook my head and held out the jewelry box, which was full of priceless items.
