"Whenever I miss the emperor, I take it out and read it, saying that only in this way can I feel that the emperor is by my side." Hongtao said with a choked sob.
"..."
"Hongtao!" Concubine De quickly stopped, looked at Zhao Zongheng with a somewhat helpless look and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but the palace servants are ignorant, so go down quickly!"
Hong Tao bit her lip and turned around. Concubine De tried to get up but accidentally pulled her arm. She hissed in pain and was about to fall off the bed, but Zhao Zongheng didn't even move a step, let alone reach out.
Help.
The imperial doctor next to him helped me, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhao Zongheng looked around the hall for a while before saying: "Wang Chengxiang."
"Go and bring all the discarded manuscripts that I have piled up and hang them all over Yuning Palace." Zhao Zongheng said in a nonchalant manner: "In this way, if Concubine De wants to read, she can just look up and there is no need to rummage around." p>
"..."
"..."
"..."
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Concubine De looked up in surprise, did she want a calligraphy treasure?
Doesn’t the underlying meaning behind the words mean that the emperor wants to spend more time with her and see her more often?
"What? Not satisfied?" Zhao Zongheng lowered his head and met Concubine De's eyes, frowning slightly.
"Concubine, thank you for your grace!" Concubine De hurriedly lowered her head to thank her.
"Yes." Zhao Zongheng was then satisfied, raised his eyes and said: "Since you are injured, let's take good care of it."
After saying that, he took Wang Chengxiang and left. He didn't even sit down from the beginning to the end, let alone inquire about the welfare. He didn't even ask the imperial doctor De Fei carefully about her injury, as if she just came to see whether the person was dead or not.
After leaving Yuning Palace, Wang Chengxiang looked at the emperor and asked carefully: "Then, go back to Fengwu Palace?"
Zhao Zongheng raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "Go back to Xuanming Hall."
"Yes." Wang Chengxiang didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly bowed his head and agreed.
The next day, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De had broken her arm and invited the emperor. After further inquiries, they found that the emperor was invited out of Fengwu Palace. All thoughts in the palace suddenly became active. The harem seemed to be able to smell
Something smells wrong.
This morning, the emperor sent a lot of things, including all kinds of nourishing medicines. He also sent all the manuscripts and picture albums, which were hung directly on the entire wall of Yuning Palace.
Concubine De sat dumbly on the bed, her face changing again and again as she looked at the densely hung manuscripts.
Do you think this is pampering?
This is simply humiliating!
"Don't be angry, my dear, at least the emperor did not return to Fengwu Palace yesterday." Hongtao helped Concubine De pour a cup of tea and comforted her warmly.
"I almost broke an arm, so the emperor didn't go to Fengwu Palace all night!?" Concubine De raised her hand and knocked over the tea bowl handed over by Hong Tao, and said through gritted teeth: "Go, call Concubine Rong.
."
"Yes." Hongtao lowered her head and responded quietly.
In Fengwu Palace, Si Ningchi was drinking enthusiastically with homemade milk tea, while Su Yongde told her about the reward in Yuning Palace.
Si Ningchi tsked and sneered: "Is it worth getting angry at me for getting a box of bad manuscripts?"
Su Yongde opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "Those are all the emperor's handwriting."
"It's something that the emperor doesn't want." Si Ningchi corrected him lightly. Su Yongde suddenly felt that he had thought too much. It's not like the emperor didn't reward calligraphy and paintings, but they were all worthy of being framed!
This box of scrap manuscripts sent to Yuning Palace includes some that are smeared and disfigured, some that are torn, and some that are crumpled. They are indeed things that the emperor does not want.
Su Yongde, who was holding back his stomach, suddenly became happy and said with a smile: "What does this mean, Your Majesty? Are you a ragpicker in Yuning Palace?"
"Pfft——" Suyun couldn't help but laugh after hearing this description.
"It's really hard for Concubine De. She broke her arm in exchange for a box of junk." Si Ningchi laughed and mocked.
This is great, what Si Ningchi said spread to everyone in the palace in the blink of an eye. I thought that Concubine De had finally won the emperor's heart, otherwise there wouldn't be everyone in the queen's palace, so she went there.
Yuning Palace.
Now after hearing these words...
Everyone seems to have something wrong with their taste. What kind of pet is this?
"Bitch!" The sound of the Yuning Palace teacup breaking made the palace maids waiting outside the palace feel excited, and they looked at the palace anxiously and at a loss.
"Sister De Fei, calm down." Concubine Rong was also startled and comforted her repeatedly: "She can only talk about being proud, sister, please don't involve the wound."
As Concubine Rong spoke, she winked at Hongtao and asked her to clean up the floor.
Concubine De became even more angry as she covered her hands. Concubine Rong said softly: "Sister, please take good care of yourself and leave the rest to me."
Concubine De frowned and looked at Concubine Rong and said, "What can you do?"
"Sister, have you forgotten? This year's show girl is about to enter the palace." Concubine Rong said with a relaxed look and a smile: "Maybe we can..."
Concubine De's eyes lit up, with an unknown smile on her face.
The draft is no small matter. There is only one draft opportunity every three years. This year's draft was postponed for a while. The reason is that the queen was just banned and the queen was not allowed to collide, so it was postponed until after the spring hunt.
The concubines Virtue and Concubine Xian were all brought into the palace when the emperor was the crown prince. After the emperor ascended the throne, they should have become members of the four concubines.
Speaking of which, they entered the palace only half a year before the emperor ascended the throne. After the emperor ascended the throne, officials and ministers from all walks of life sent women into the palace, including Concubine Rong, Concubine Yuan, and others. Those who entered the palace intermittently after that all had some excuse, and no one was
Entered through a serious draft.
This year is the third year since the Emperor ascended the throne, and it is also the first time that such a serious draft is held.
As early as three years ago, officials from all over the country were already looking for beautiful and talented women and training them to prepare for the election. It would take a full three years for them to be screened from the county and state levels before they were sent to the capital to enter the palace.
A woman who can stand in the palace must be selected from thousands of people, no matter her family background, appearance, or figure.
"The Empress Dowager has had many quarrels with the Emperor over the draft." Su Yun whispered while combing Si Ningchi's hair. The reason was simply that she wanted to personally show up as the draft girl. She couldn't be clearer about her intentions.
He intends to intervene in the palace election to cultivate his followers.
"Now that the Queen Mother is still in confinement, the Emperor will definitely not let the Queen Mother come forward." Su Yun looked at Si Ningchi with a smile and said: "Concubine De has injured her hand again, so this important matter of the draft will fall to you.
It’s on me.”
"This is not necessarily a good thing." Si Ningchi raised his eyes and said: "The identity of the beautiful girl involves the court officials, and whether the selection is good or not is related to the trends in the court."
"How can we choose an answer that satisfies the emperor?" Si Ningchi became distressed and felt like he was doing the questions.
