Concubine Li was accompanying the emperor. She used her delicate hands to peel a loquat into the shape of an upside-down golden bell. She held it up with a handkerchief and carefully brought it to the emperor's mouth: "This is a loquat from Dongting. The ones brought as tribute this year are particularly sweet.
Your Majesty, please give it a try."
The emperor ate it with her hand and said, "It's really good. This loquat is a good thing. It's suitable for the occasion."
"Then your Majesty, please take another one." Concubine Li took the loquat core spit out by the emperor with her hand, then peeled off another loquat and handed it over.
"Eat a few more for yourself, I remember you like to eat loquats." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty loves me so much. I heard that of the loquats that were offered as tribute, I was the only one who got two portions of them in my palace." Concubine Li pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, leaning against the emperor with her soft and boneless body, "My concubine.
He also said that it would be best to call a painter and make a picture of the concubines and the emperor eating loquats together. That would be interesting!"
"This is a good idea. After I become a master, you can keep this painting as a reflection." The emperor touched her face lovingly.
No matter how much he likes the sounds and sounds of the world, it can't compare to what he wants
Have a spiritual heart.
"Your Majesty, I heard that when the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, a dragon came down from the sky to carry him up. At that time, many people climbed on the dragon's body, and they became immortals together. I wonder if I have this blessing?
Concubine Li acted coquettishly and said, "Otherwise, if your Majesty goes away, how can my concubine's life in this palace be so easy?"
"Don't worry, the queen won't embarrass you. You only have one daughter, so just don't allow her to marry far away." The emperor said, "How could I have the heart not to make complete plans for you?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with my concubine's heart lately. She's always worried about gains and losses." Concubine Li burst into tears, "Concubine Xian also has a son by her side, and she's married to the queen's niece, and she still can't think of committing suicide.
.
Your Majesty, why don't you take your concubines and cultivate immortality with you? Even if you reach the immortal world, you must have people accompanying you to serve you."
After listening to Concubine Li's words, the emperor was not only not angry, but also very moved. He held her in his arms and said: "Everyone in the harem said they were loyal to me, but no one said they would follow me to practice and leave together.
In the mortal world. From this point of view, your feelings for me are the truest."
"I am a little girl with little knowledge. I don't understand the overall situation or the government. In my heart, I only have His Majesty." Li Fei said softly, "Your Majesty is a towering tree, and I am just a person.
It’s just a small vine.”
Just as he was talking, Zhang Ze walked in, with a tureen on the tray in his hand.
When the emperor saw it, he immediately became excited and knew that this was the white stone soup that Qingque had cooked for him.
White stone soup is the most common Taoist soup, which is boiled with spring water and a few white stones. But the magic is that after drinking this kind of soup, not only will you not feel hungry, but you will also feel energetic.
Qingque boiled this soup and sent it to the emperor every seven days, but not every day. According to him, the emperor's current worldly relationship has not been completely resolved.
Therefore, these decoctions can only be used at intervals to cleanse the turbid qi in the emperor's body and prepare for his future ascension.
"When will I be able to experience the wonderland scenery with His Majesty again? I still miss it the last time I returned." Concubine Li asked in a sweet voice while serving the Emperor to drink white stone soup.
"It all depends on fate. Even I can't go in just because I want to." Why didn't the emperor think so? "Everything depends on the arrangements of Qingque Imperial Master.
But you must also learn to be content. For most people, they will never have such an experience in their lifetime."
"I am a white rabbit following the moon, and I have benefited from His Majesty's glory." Li Fei said with a smile, "Eunuch Zhang, are you right?"
Shang Qiyan suffered from gout and took a leave of absence to recuperate.
Therefore, Zhang Ze became someone who would accompany the emperor all the time.
"Your Majesty is right, but Master Qingque also said last time that your Majesty also has immortal roots. That's why I have the fate to enjoy the scenery of the fairyland with Your Majesty," Zhang Ze said.
"Taoist Master Qingque is really enigmatic. Every time he says something, he refuses to explain it thoroughly. He always wants us to understand it ourselves." The emperor finished drinking the white stone soup and was still not satisfied, but he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "
And every time I cherish my words like gold.”
"This is the real master. If it were those charlatans, they would not know how much benefit they should get for themselves. But Taoist Qingque still lives in that dilapidated Taoist temple and refuses to even repair it." Li Fei
Said, "It's a pity that it has really jumped out of the Three Realms and is no longer among the Five Elements."
"Your Majesty, Liang Jing, the manager of Furong Palace, wants to see you." The messenger eunuch walked in and said.
"Ask him to come in." The emperor said.
Liang Jing then came in to greet the Emperor and Concubine Li, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent a young lady to ask for your instructions. Do you have free time these days? The Queen wants to set up a place in her palace to invite Concubine Xian and Concubine Li.
My uncle and his family are attending a banquet, so I came to ask your majesty what day is convenient for you."
"The Queen should indeed call these people together and have a good talk to comfort them." The Emperor said after hearing this, "It's just that these days are too busy, and a lot of memorial documents sent from various places have accumulated.
.
What's more, they can be more relaxed if I'm not here. If I'm here, they will inevitably be too rigid and won't dare to say what they want to say."
"The Queen has also said that your Majesty is probably too busy with government affairs, so please take care of your dragon body." Liang Jing said, "The little one will retreat now."
"Go ahead and tell the Queen that we are all one family and there is nothing we can't say. No matter whether we are the whole family or the small family, everything will be happy if we are together." The emperor said again.
"I would like to receive your Majesty's teachings." Liang Jing said yes repeatedly.
"I went to the Concubine Xian's palace the day before yesterday, and the wound on her neck is still there. She is usually cautious, but now she looks even more timid and pitiful." Concubine Li said, "
They say that when a rabbit dies and a fox grieves, its kind will suffer. Although Concubine Xian and I have always been indifferent, looking at her like this, I feel really unbearable."
"The virtuous concubine is good-natured in nature, but she is too obedient to the empress." The emperor did not pay much attention to the affairs of the harem, but he still knew more or less, "The empress is still young after all, and I hope to experience more.
Things can polish your mind to be more generous and steady."
"Your Majesty, I have an unkind feeling. Mr. Shang has suffered from severe gout these days. He has been seen by the imperial doctors several times and taken a lot of medicine, but it has no effect.
It's better to ask Taoist Master Qingque to open a sea top, I think it should be useful." Zhang Ze said.
"You are thoughtful, go and tell Qingque now." The emperor glanced at him appreciatively.
After Zhang Ze went out, Concubine Li said to the emperor: "This Eunuch Zhang is worthy of use."
"It's indeed good. Shang Qiyan is also old. He has been full of energy and strength all year round."
