This magnificent summer resort palace was built a year after Xiao Heng ascended the throne. In order to eliminate the summer, he specially chose a location with Empress Li.
Yuqing Palace is located in the mountains and forests. On one side is the rippling lake, cliffs and waterfalls, and on the other side is the forest path. It is covered with green shade and is most suitable for summer vacation.
In previous years, Xiao Heng would bring a group of concubines, princesses to Yuqing Palace to stay for a while. At night, accompanied by the cool breeze of the mountains, enjoying the arranged songs and dances in Yuhua Palace, which was so pleasant.
However, this time, Xiao Heng only brought Concubine Duan and the fifth prince to Yuqing Palace to escape the summer heat. The huge summer heat escape palace now seems deserted, which makes Concubine Duan a little uncomfortable.
Duan Fei’s personal palace maid Shaoyao was tying her hair for Duan Fei. Seeing Duan Fei’s expression a little displeased, she asked with concern: “Empress, have you not been sleeping well? Look at you who are not energetic today…
”
Concubine Duan did not answer, and was silent for a while before she said thoughtfully: "I am just a little unaccustomed to it. In previous years, the summer palace was much more lively than in the palace, and now it is so deserted!"
"The Empress feels lonely, probably because this time the Emperor only brought the Empress and the Fifth Prince here..." The palace maid Shaoyao smiled while tying the hair of Concubine Duan, "This also shows that the Empress and the Fifth Prince have different status in the emperor's hearts.
Ah, I feel that there is no other person in this Yuqing Palace, only the fifth prince and the emperor, but it is much more pure!"
When Duan Fei heard the words of the palace maid Shaoyao, she couldn't help laughing: "You girl, you can just say something nice!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Shaoyao saw that Concubine Duan finally laughed at her words, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say with a pleasing voice: "Empress, when will the Emperor be another concubine?
Have you made an exception?"
After hearing this, Duan Fei fell into deep thought. After a while, she said quietly: "Yes, the only one who made the emperor an exception was the deposed queen... At that time, the emperor favored her only, and only brought her here to escape the summer heat.
!”
Perhaps it was because of this that she always felt a little uneasy. Although the emperor has always been quite pampering her, he has never brought her to the Yuqing Palace to escape the summer heat alone!
"No matter how much the emperor favors her, it is not as good as the emperor's favor for you. She doesn't have a son or daughter, so you are different. You gave birth to the fifth prince for the emperor. The emperor is so happy!" Shaoyao said this.
, paused, pursed his lips and smiled, "Now the emperor only brought you and the fifth prince here. Isn't it true that the emperor has planned to make the emperor the queen in his heart and has a candidate for His Royal Highness?"
Duan Fei's eyes lit up, and she looked at her face in the bronze mirror with almost energy. She looked at her beautiful face as she was as beautiful as the first, her snowy skin, and her cheeks were touched, and she asked with a smile: "Is this really true? The emperor,
Will you really make such a decision?”
"Otherwise, how could the emperor only bring the Empress and the Fifth Prince here to escape the summer heat?"
The palace maid Shaoyao asked back with a smile, which made Concubine Duan feel very happy and smiled like a flower.
"Shaoyao, you carefully dress up for me. After the emperor finished the compilation, he would come over..." Concubine Duan hurriedly ordered, and her heart was filled with joy.
"Yes!" Seeing that his master's mood finally improved, Shaoyao responded with a smile.
After careful decoration of Shaoyao, Concubine Duan really looked even more elegant and luxurious.
