Chapter Nine hundred and sixty second: Domineering
Xianyue glanced at her and said, "Since the emperor sent you out, he just doesn't want you to know, so why ask more questions."
Zhichun muttered: "I am curious, I have never seen the emperor behave like this before." After saying that, she asked tentatively: "Master, can you really not say it?"
"You!" Xianyue shook her head and scolded: "I have really spoiled you, and you are becoming more and more unruly. There will be a time when you will find out, but not now."
Hearing what she said, Zhichun knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out even if he asked again, so he had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and said listlessly: "Then I'll go see if the bird's nest is stewed."
Except for Xianyue and Sixi, no one knows what Hongli said at that moment; just as no one knows that Concubine Rong in Chuxiu Palace, who was so favored by the emperor, was actually a spy sent by the Huibu.
, it’s ridiculous that Li Qi and others insist on saying that beauties in the moonlight will harm the country and the people; but they don’t know that the real disaster is in Chuxiu Palace.
After the pacification of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, the border between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty has been peaceful and there has been no more trouble. As for Fu Heng's investigation, it has hit a dead end and has never made any progress.
Everything in the palace is still the same as usual. If there is any difference, it is that Concubine Rong is becoming more and more favored. Hongli is happy that she can sing and dance, and that she has a delicate fragrance. There is a booklet recording the bedtime service in the guest room.
Among them, most of them are Qiluo's name, not only surpassing Wei Jingxuan and others, even Xianyue is starting to fall behind.
As Hongli's favor grew, more and more people went to Chuxiu Palace. On the contrary, Yanxi Palace became deserted day by day. Except for Huang and others, few people came here, and sometimes even
No one came for a day, and the bustling crowds were no longer the same as before.
On this day, staring at the deserted palace entrance, Zhichun bit his nails and said angrily: "Those people are really real. When the master is in favor, they come to us eagerly. Now that Concubine Rong is favored, they all go to save money."
Show palace."
Qi Kuan said funnyly: "You, there are usually a lot of people coming here, and you are afraid of disturbing the master's rest. Now no one comes, and you are sulking here again. It is really contradictory."
Zhichun glared at him and said angrily: "I don't like people coming all the time, but it shouldn't be so deserted. Also, did you know that the ginseng sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today actually has some broken beards and hair?
The condition is extremely poor, this has never happened before."
"The people in the palace have always been red-topped and white-white. Reality is so tight. Don't you know that?"
"I..." Zhichun stomped his feet and said: "If you ask me, the most hateful thing is the emperor. Before, he vowed to make the master his queen. In the blink of an eye, he pampered Concubine Rong all day long and forgot what he said.
Later, I counted the days and found that I have not set foot in Yanxi Palace for five or six days."
When this matter was mentioned, Qi Kuan was also very dissatisfied, but he was calmer than Zhi Chun. He shook his head and said: "Concubine Rong is young and beautiful, can sing and dance well, and has a strange fragrance. Naturally, the emperor likes her more..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhichun said excitedly: "But the master has been in love with the emperor for twenty years, and even lived and died together during that time. Isn't all this inferior to a foreign woman?"
Qi Kuan sighed and said, "Don't say it again, lest people listen to it and get into trouble. Also, don't say these words in front of the master, lest she be sad."
Zhichun took a deep breath and said: "I know what's appropriate. I won't tell anyone else except you. I just...it's not worth it for the master. She gave everything for the emperor, but the emperor is so cold and heartless. It's really
It's chilling to think about it. If the master had followed him back then..." She suddenly stopped talking, shook her head and said, "I won't say anything anymore. The more I talk, the more angry I am. I'll go see if the master is awake."
Entering the inner hall, I saw that Xianyue had opened her eyes and was looking at the hollow silver ball hanging from the tent in trance. Zhichun quickly opened the curtain and said, "When did the master wake up? Why didn't you call the slave to come in?"
Xianyue sat up with her hand in her hand and said softly: "I just woke up not long ago. By the way, when I was in a daze, I seemed to hear the emperor's voice. Has the emperor been here?"
Zhichun was startled, then forced out a smile, "Yes, the emperor came here specially to see the master. Unexpectedly, the master was taking a nap. The emperor heard that the master had not been sleeping well recently, so he didn't wake you up. He stood for a while and then left."
"Really?" Xianyue looked happy, but not long after, that joy disappeared like rainwater falling into the lake. She shook her head and said: "You are lying to me. The emperor has never been here. That's nothing."
...It’s just a dream of mine.”
Zhichun said anxiously: "No, the emperor has really been here. If you don't believe it, my servant called Qi Kuan in and he saw it too."
Xianyue lowered her head and smiled, saying: "That's all, let's not talk about this anymore, just wait for me to get up."
Looking at her forced smile, Zhichun's eyes turned sour, and he knelt down and said, "Master, please don't do this. Your Majesty, he...he is not worthy."
"Silly girl, I'm fine." The more Xia Yue said this, the sadder Zhichun became. The master had suffered so much for the emperor over the years. When the emperor was moved, he vowed to be a brother-in-law. After being moved, he would forget about it. He was so heartless.
, it was too much. She really wanted to say all these words, but she was afraid of hurting Xianyue's heart even more, so she could only endure it forcefully.
Seeing Zhichun puffing out her cheeks and not speaking, how could Xianyue not see what she was thinking? She lowered her eyes and said: "Get up, there are some things that you can't just look at the surface. Your Majesty..." After a moment of pause, Xianyue finally didn't.
After continuing, he said: "I will accompany you to the small kitchen later to make rose and lotus root cake. The emperor likes this the most."
"Yes." Zhichun agreed dully. After waiting for Xianyue to get up and freshen up, he accompanied her to the small kitchen. This snack took a lot of effort. By the time it was ready and delivered to the Yangxin Hall, it was already sunset.
Down.
Si Xi saw Xiayue coming from a distance, and hurriedly came up to him and said, "I send my regards to you, may you be blessed!" While everyone else was being distant and disrespectful towards Xianyue, he, the chief eunuch in the palace, kept his attitude.
The original respect without the slightest slightness is really rare.
Xianyue said warmly: "Without courtesy, can the emperor be in the palace?"
"Replying to your concubine, the emperor is in the palace, but..." Si Xi quickly raised his head to look at Xianyue, and said awkwardly: "Concubine Rong is also in there."
Under the setting sun, the look on Xianyue's face quickly faded, and she forced a smile and said: "Really? Then I...I will come back another day."
Zhichun held it in for a long time, but now he couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Eunuch Xi, if Concubine Rong is in the palace, my master can't go in. What's the reason for this?"
Xianyue quickly glared at her and scolded: "No nonsense!"
