The whole palace is glowing with soft white light. The pavilions, water pavilions, rockeries, fountains, and large lakes in the palace are extremely gorgeous and majestic, with a royal aura inside. The round lake looks sparkling from a distance, and is swaying when the breeze blows.
There were faint ripples, and a stream of spray sprayed into the air from the lake, which was very beautiful.
The decoration in the palace is extremely gorgeous, and every color is bright and bright, such as red, black, blue and green. This is the splendor of the royal family, showing their magnificence and prosperity.
As I was walking back, my thoughts were confused and my mind was in a mess, as if a bunch of dense threads were entangled in my brain. I couldn't think and my thoughts were tangled.
My mind is still confused with what he said to me.
There was a smile in his eyes, and he said casually: "So, from today on, I will give you that blessing and give you grace for the rest of your life? Do you want it?"
I was shocked and looked at him with blank eyes, trying to find a hint of joking in his expression, but I failed. His expression was sincere, so sincere that it made me feel like I was in a dream, only in a dream.
Only then did she dare to indulge herself like this and never thought that he would treat her like this. In the end, her trembling lips could only squeeze out a few incomplete words: "Are you, are you crazy?" Forgot that he was the emperor, and that the two of them were together.
Gap, forgetting that he still has a group of women who are also favored by him, forgetting that An Jin, forgetting that he is different from appearance to duplicity, for the first time, he begins to hope for things that he never dared to hope for in the small gap that he broke through.
He didn't have much emotion in the first place, but before he knew it, he had inadvertently emptied the high wall and invaded a small crack. His emotions were slowly filled up like the inverted gravel.
What surprised me even more was that he kept holding me quietly without making any move, but suddenly said: "That little palace maid that even Li Jiu admires is you, right?"
I was speechless, but he was sure, so why did he ask me for confirmation? Seeing my silence, he immediately acquiesced.
Finally, he sighed: "Xie Weiying, what kind of woman are you? How many things do you have hiding from me?"
I could only stay there, motionless, my mind seemed to have shut down, and I couldn't think of anything.
He didn't force me to live in his palace. I don't know why, why he had some abnormal behaviors in succession. Did I do something to make him suspicious? No, I stayed there all the time.
In the Luoshuang Palace, I didn’t go anywhere. Moreover, I didn’t even visit Li Jiu. Because I needed to deal with the things that piled up after I came back, and my feelings for Sima Rui became more complicated, so I needed to calm down and think about it.
As soon as I reached the entrance of Luoshuang Palace, a small figure ran out from inside and jumped directly into my arms.
My body was shaken, and before I could stabilize myself, the child in my arms couldn't wait to shout in a crisp voice: "Mom, where have you been? Every time I come to see you, Sister Suda says you are sick."
It's not easy to see guests. Are you okay? Shao Shao misses you so much."
As he spoke, he rubbed his head affectionately in my arms. Seeing his coquettish look, I smiled and said, "Why, it's only been a few days and you miss me."
"Yeah, yeah." He nodded vigorously in my arms.
I ruffled his hair, with a smile in my eyes, and took his hand: "Let's go in and talk." As I walked, I said, "To be honest, do you miss me or the things I made."
He blushed in embarrassment. Seeing my face darken, he flattered me and said, "I've thought about it all."
"Humph, you brat, you only know sweet words."
Suddenly, the person next to me coughed a few times. I turned my head and saw that his smiling face turned slightly white, as if he was feeling very uncomfortable. I was slightly shocked and put my hand on his forehead. Hey, why was he a little shaky?
hot.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why do you have a fever?" I asked worriedly.
He smiled slightly, his thin lips a little dry: "It's okay, Mom, maybe I caught a little cold while sleeping last night."
"Really?" I asked with concern: "Remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a look when you go back. If a minor illness is not cured, it will become a serious illness. Come on, mom will prepare something delicious for you." I said heartbroken.
He leaned over affectionately: "I know that my mother loves Shao Shao the most." Every time he got sick, his mother-in-law would never find out. He would find out by himself and seek medical advice. Or he would get over it on his own.
.Because, he couldn't trust anyone in this palace. He didn't know whether those imperial doctors would kill him with just one prescription. He was afraid. But, for some reason, everything seemed different since he met her.
.Seeing her warm and worried smile, Sima Shao was a little dazed. So beautiful.
Tianqi Hall.
"How is the matter you were asked to investigate?"
"My subordinates are incompetent and cannot find the person behind the scenes. However, my subordinates discovered that the publication of the picture book was all done through Jun Jin's hands and by his organization called a publishing house. Not only did this
There are also works by famous poets and calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi and Tao Yuanming. Their books are circulated throughout the country. It is said that because of this, those poets and other writers will receive generous rewards from Junjin.
It ensured their lives and creations and also discovered many talented writers." Chen Wen said of the hardships.
"Publisher? Writer?" Sima Rui raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
Chen Wen said unnaturally: "I don't know what those mean, either. It's a new folk saying."
Sima Rui remained silent and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Chen Wen gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates have been tracing the source of the manuscript of Tsing Yi Swaying, but I didn't expect——"
"What didn't you expect?" Sima Rui asked.
"I didn't expect it to come from the palace."
"In the palace?!" Sima Rui said in shock. Then he thought of that bright face and shook his head. Who dares to be so bold and play with the harem of the supreme ruler like this in the palace? There is absolutely no such woman in history who plays with the emperor.
Passed. I don't know why, but those beautiful words suddenly appeared in Sima Rui's mind, those open-minded and free-spirited words that were different from other women.
Sima Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I want you to secretly investigate a person, from childhood to adulthood, without revealing any aspects of him."
Who deserves the emperor's attention? Chen Wen asked: "Who?"
Sima Rui smiled coolly: "The fourth lady of the Xie family, Xie Weiying."
She?! A vague image flashed in Chen Wen's mind. He had only seen her briefly a few times, which was not real. Although she was stunningly beautiful, her submissive look really made people uninterested.
Why is the emperor interested in her? Rumors about this fourth young lady of the Xie family have been aroused in the palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she missed the general election because of a serious illness. She was not favored and has been ill ever since.
.
"My subordinate understands."
"Well, you go ahead and do it." Chen Wen flashed and disappeared into the dark night.
Suddenly, Sima Rui shouted sharply toward the door: "Here comes someone."
Gao Luzhan walked in with his head lowered tremblingly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me about this old slave?"
"How is the decree I asked you to draw up?"
"Old slave, I did everything the emperor ordered."
"So, what's the reaction?"
Gao Lu whispered: "Not yet."
"Increase the bounty. I want to know the truth." Sima Rui frowned slightly.
"Old slave understands."
"Go down." Sima Rui waved his hand impatiently. Gao Lu retreated silently.
Sima Rui stood in front of the window, his slender figure under the moonlight outside, and his shadow was stretched long and slender.
If that person is really her, if Qingyi Yaoying is really her, then we can use this matter to completely tame her. Thinking of her stubborn and bright eyes, where is her unyielding pride, she has never surrendered.
Leave it to him. No matter what the cost, he will make her surrender to him from the bottom of her heart, completely, like other women. No one can be that exception, no one.
What kind of person is she? There are so many novelties in her mind.
Jun Jin, Jun Jin again! What is her relationship with Xiao Jin? What is she hiding like Xiao Jin?
He will definitely know. Investigate everything clearly.
The most indispensable thing in the palace is a grand banquet.
The emperor kept his promise, and within a few days, she was restored to her former position as Jieyu, and a large number of jewels and treasures were grandly delivered to the Luoshuang Palace. Sima Rui also began to enter the Luoshuang Palace again and again.
, had no scruples, dined with me, and even helped me repair the Luoshuang Palace with a large team of craftsmen. But what others didn’t know was that he never stayed overnight or asked me to sleep with him. Maybe he saw my frightened look last time,
You know I left a deep legacy. He began to show my status in his eyes to everyone in the palace without any care. He made his favor towards me known to everyone.
Luoshuang Palace no longer looked as cold as before, and many concubines who took advantage of the situation began to come in and out of Luoshuang Palace to visit me, saying many flattering words, and the fawning look on their faces made me exhausted.
After a few days, I started to use the same moves. I was ill and it was difficult to see guests.
Just when I was thinking that I could rest for a few days, he suddenly told me that a grand banquet was going to be held in the palace to celebrate the ceremony of conferring his new concubine. Since the death of Concubine Xie, the position of concubine Xie has been hanging. What made everyone curious is that the emperor
It was not announced in advance who was the latest choice for the concubine. Everyone said it was Huan Jieyu who was pregnant with dragon seed, but the other party said that based on the emperor's favor, it should be me. There are many possibilities and speculations.
, there are a lot of discussions in the harem. You must know that now that the queen position is vacant, the fourth concubine is the head of the harem. This can be seen in the arrogant look of the Wang Guifei. In addition, the other concubines Shu Concubine and Xian Concubine are not paying attention to the palace.
One is timid and the other is indifferent. If you can become a concubine, you can share the power of the harem with the royal concubine. What a lucky thing it is.
Compared with the explosive shock in the harem, I was not interested in the matter of conferring a concubine. Anyway, I would not be the one who was conferred, and whoever was conferred did not care about me. I was about to use the excuse of being unwell to not go.
.
The Emperor, who was sitting across from me and was enjoying the delicious dishes I cooked, suddenly said lightly: "You must attend this banquet." My little wish was shattered, and it turned into nothing in an instant.
I bit my chopsticks in embarrassment and stood there.
