Chapter 191 Chapter 190 At worst, just ask the emperor to join!
In Jin Zhai Hall, Jiang Cairen, Lin Baolin, and Cui Cainv had finished bathing and were putting on their makeup. After all, the hot springs were full of steam, so their makeup was inevitably a bit messy.
Although the three of them have sincere friendships with each other, they are each on their own guard and have different thoughts.
In the eyes of Jiang Cairen, Lin Baolin was the most beloved concubine after the imperial concubine, and Cui Cainv was also lucky enough to be blessed by the Holy One, so she felt very sad.
However, Cui Cainu felt that she had only taken advantage of the Luo family on the surface, but that night she did not even enter the emperor's Sheng'an Palace, but only stayed in the side hall for the night! Therefore, she was very jealous of the emperor's favor.
Lin Baolin.
Lin Baolin was also a little unsure whether Cui Cainu had really accepted her favor. The emperor was disgusted with her scheming and had always refused to favor her. However, Cui Cainu had not done anything wrong. That night... she might have accepted her favor.
With this guess in his mind, Lin Baolin couldn't help but ask, "Why does Sister Cui keep staring at me?"
Cui Cainv quickly showed a sweet smile: "My sister is just envious of Sister Lin's good fortune. In this palace, apart from the imperial concubine, I am the most favored sister."
Lin Baolin returned the favor with a gentle smile: "Why does Sister Cui need to envy me? My sister is newly favored by the emperor, and now she is accompanying you to the palace. The good days in the future are still far away."
Cui Cainu showed a little shyness in her haste, and said to Jiang Cairen, who was already jealous: "Sister is also here. Maybe in two days, the emperor will also call my sister to go to bed."
Jiang Cairen blushed and his voice became coy: "I accept my sister's good advice."
Lin Baolin looked at Cui Cainv's shy and timid look, and felt very disappointed. It seemed that Cui Cainv was really favored! I'm afraid Jiang's family was not far away! In this case, it would not be possible for the two of them to see that she had no love at all.
Come Cheng Chong!
Lin Baolin also smiled shyly and said to Jiang Cairen: "Sister, don't worry. Although the emperor looks majestic, he is actually very gentle in private."
When Jiang Cai heard these words, he was showing off his favor!
But in the eyes of Cui Cainu, she couldn't help but feel bitter and jealous. Lin Baolin was really favored!
Lu Tan, Jiang Cairen's personal maid, came in with a joyful look on her face and reported: "Madam, the Emperor has arrived at Yude Hall!"
Jiang Cai made a special appointment to take a bath with Cui Cainu in order to "encounter" the Holy Master here. Upon hearing the news, Jiang Cai and Cui Cainu ran out of the hall without saying a word.
This Jin Zhai Tang is next to the emperor's Longquan. When you walk out of Jin Zhai Tang, you will see His Majesty the Emperor's chariot.
Jiang and Cui were overjoyed and rushed away, wishing they had two more legs.
"Concubine, please give your regards to the Emperor!" The voices of the two delicate beauties were also delicate.
Emperor Ming Zhao was already in a bad mood, and his expression became even more ugly when two concubines suddenly showed up, looking like they were flirting with each other. Fortunately, there were many people at the moment, and the emperor was surrounded by a string of eunuchs, including Jiang Cairen and Cui
Cai Nu also brought two palace maids with her. The thoughts of the group of people were mixed together and they were buzzing. Emperor Ming Zhao felt as if a swarm of bees had penetrated his ears, so he could not hear clearly what Jiang and Cui were saying.
However, from the frivolous expressions, it is not difficult to guess what the two of them are thinking.
Therefore, Emperor Mingzhao directly chose to ignore it. He snorted coldly and strode into Longquan Hall. - Longquan Hall is the dressing hall of Longquan Tang and the main hall of Yude Hall. On the left and right is the Queen's Fengchi Hall.
Jin Zhai Tang with his concubines.
Jiang and Cui were dumbfounded on the spot. Although they wanted to rush in, they also knew that Longquan Palace was not a place that concubines were qualified to set foot in. However, they refused to leave directly, and even gave birth to a baby, otherwise they would simply stay in the palace.
Waiting for the emperor to come out...
When Liang Kunyu saw that the two ladies were waiting outside the Longquan Palace, he guessed that they were close. He stepped forward and said: "Two ladies, the emperor is in a bad mood due to the hard work of traveling and traveling. Tonight... I'm afraid...
We won’t summon the concubines anymore, so you two ladies should go back and rest early.”
Jiang Cairen and Cui Cainu looked at each other. Indeed, the emperor seemed unhappy. If they stayed here and the emperor came out to see them, he would probably be even more unhappy.
Jiang Cairen smiled: "Thank you very much, father-in-law for the suggestion."
The two left Yude Hall full of disappointment.
However, Lin Baolin wisely followed her to the Longquan Palace, and it was impossible for the emperor to really summon her. The more she flirted with her, the more displeased he would be. Although I thought so, I am afraid that the imperial concubine is too weak to serve her.
Go to bed, your Majesty is so full of blood, if you leave Jiang or Cui to serve and bathe...
Lin Baolin was very upset and hurriedly sent people to inquire about the news. When she learned that Jiang Cai and Cui Cainu had returned to their respective courtyards only one step later than her, Lin Baolin breathed a sigh of relief. It was her fault that she was too worried.
, The emperor has always been so solemn and strict, how could he leave his concubines to play like mandarin ducks in the water?
The reckless and frivolous behavior of Jiang Cairen and Cui Cainu reached the ears of the two concubines early the next morning.
The palace officials in Yude Palace also wanted to curry favor with your lord, so they sent someone to secretly deliver the news.
Wen Xiaotu had just woken up. When he heard such breaking news, his eyes instantly became round. Jiang Cai and Cui Cainu were so bold and unrestrained?
Hong Guo spat and said, "My servant always thought that Lin Baolin was scheming before, but now it seems that Lin Baolin is still dignified and respectful."
Aunt Chunxi was combing Wen Xiaotu's hair. She frowned: "This is too unseemly!"
Bi Xin murmured in a low voice: "Jiang Cairen has not yet gone to bed, so he is anxious, but isn't Cui Cainu already in favor?"
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought: It seems that the emperor really did not summon Cui that night.
As for Lin Baolin, I don't know whether it was because he was favored and was not in a hurry, or... he was dignified and polite and did not dare to hook up.
Shengping Hall.
The virtuous concubine Xin Ruozhi was not surprised when she learned that the concubine behaved like this. Didn't she once... try her best to seduce the emperor? Later, when she saw clearly the emperor's ruthless nature, she completely gave up on this thought. In the end,
It’s Jiang, Cui is too young to look back until he hits the wall!
Concubine Xian shook her head and said, "Tell Yude Palace not to gossip about this matter!" As a person who had experienced this, Concubine Xian felt a little sympathy for these two concubines who she usually disliked.
Then, he went to Heqing Hall to invite the imperial concubine to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers.
The scenery of the Summer Palace in March is perfect. The waterways in the garden are criss-crossed, and the winding verandas, pavilions, bridges and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner. Compared with the majestic luxury of Daxuan Palace, this place has a bit of the elegance of a Jiangnan water town.
Wen Xiaotu asked her wet nurse to bring some porridge and rice, and went to the garden with Xin Ruozhi.
Concubine Xian was in a very good mood, joking and talking as she walked: "Our little Princess Jinshu is really getting cuter and sweeter. Her little face is so white and tender, she really looks like you!"
Wen Xiaotu suddenly remembered that when they took a bath together last night, Xin Ruozhi praised her skin as white as milk... She couldn't help but feel a little shy and a little proud.
Eh? I seem to have promised the emperor that I would visit the garden with him...
Well, it doesn't matter, at the worst, just ask His Majesty the Emperor to join us!
