After seeing what had happened, everyone retreated.WWW.tsxsw.COM Liu Zhu disappeared at some point, leaving only Emperor Xuan Ling and me. I felt slightly panicked, and the warm wind scattered the hair on my temples.
I blew it on my face, and it was itchy for a while. The emperor took my hand and walked forward silently. Asakusa made a subtle shuddering sound under his feet, which was mixed with the sound of clothes. His hands were a little warm, and I could feel the coldness in his palms.
I didn't dare to shrink my hands, my face seemed to be burning with heat, so I just walked quietly with my head lowered. I lowered my head and saw a pair of soft satin embroidered shoes under my feet, which were embroidered in my spare time. They were embroidered in a very light mercury white color.
The thin and delicate petals of crabapples embroidered with rose-purple spring silk thread are like my fragile heart at this moment when I am just learning about the world. A pair of butterflies flying together are embroidered on the toe of the shoe, with small round silver beads on the butterfly whiskers.
Step by step, I stepped on the green and tender grass, and there was a slight whisper, just like a lotus blooming step by step. The butterfly also seemed to flutter on my heart, and its wings flapped one by one, making my heart flutter.
I was jumping so hard. It was only a few dozen steps to the Jilan Pavilion not far away, but it felt like I had walked a long way up the Yangchang Mountain. My legs were sore and weak.
After entering the pavilion, the emperor's hands relaxed slightly, and I immediately took my sleeves in my hands. I felt a greasy layer of moisture on my palms and then another layer of wetness. He stood in front of me with his hands behind his back, looked at me and said softly:
"It rained heavily that day, so I didn't mean to break the appointment." I didn't dare to answer, but the emperor's failure to answer would be disrespectful, so I had to lower my head and answer "Yes" very softly. He added, "I was already there that day.
When we arrived at Shanglin Garden, the Queen Mother suddenly sent an order to me to gather in the Queen's Palace. I rushed there in a hurry, but ended up getting caught in the rain and cold for several days."
I was anxious when I heard this. Even though I knew that he had recovered and was standing in front of me to talk to me, I still couldn't help but blurt out: "Is your Majesty okay?" After saying this, I felt that it was stupid to ask, and it was a big mistake. I couldn't help but think again.
She blushed and whispered: "I am stupid."
He smiled kindly and said: "Later I thought, it rained so heavily that day and you were resting, so you would not come out."
My voice was almost inaudible: "I have not broken the promise."
His eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Is that true? Then you were caught in the rain, did you get hurt?"
He asked me this, and I felt both tears and joy in my heart. It seemed as if the depression and sorrow of the past few days had disappeared like a thick fog meeting the sunlight. He said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not wet in the rain. I am fine."
"
My head almost dropped to my chest, and the sparse embroidery on my chest rubbed against my chin, tingling slightly. On the thumb of his right hand, he wore a very transparent jade ring, which was as green as a lake in a pool of Taiye.
Jing Shui held up my chin with four fingers and forced me to look up. I saw his clear eyes, staring straight at me. His pupils were almost unfathomably dark. I could only see my figure and the bright and beautiful flower behind me.
Apricot blossom. My heart was pounding wildly, and I felt that the red color of the flower was reflected on my rosy cheeks. I couldn't help but whisper softly: "How did the emperor deceive his concubine?"
The corners of his mouth rose, and his smile deepened: "If I had told you earlier, you would have been frightened by my identity and become as restrained as those concubines. How dare you enjoy the flute and flowers with me without restraint, calmly and calmly?"
I lowered my eyelids and stared at the embroidered shoes: "The emperor is teasing my concubine. I have to watch my concubine's jokes because she doesn't know etiquette."
The emperor laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, he gradually stopped smiling, looked at me and said, "If I broke the news earlier, you would only be afraid of me, afraid of me, and flattering me. That would not be the real you." He changed his hand and put it on me.
On the railing of the vermilion pavilion, he stared into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the heavy flower shadows and look straight into the depths of the sky. "I value you because of your nature. If you were no different from other concubines, I wouldn't do it either."
I value my agreement with you."
I looked down at the hem of his red robe, which was densely embroidered with Kui patterns with black silk thread, and the continuous patterns. My face turned red and I answered, "Yes." Then he said, "I am so stupid that I didn't notice it at all.
come out."
The emperor was slightly proud: "I deliberately concealed it from you, how could I let you know it? It's just that my sixth brother has worked hard and is often summoned to the palace to be detained by me."
I bowed my head and said, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful and talented, how can I, my concubine, know that?"
He suddenly stretched out his hand to hold my hand and asked, "Why are your hands so cold? Is it because of the wind outside?"
I hurriedly said: "I am not cold, I am."
He said "Hmm" and said, "You have been out for a long time, I will accompany you back."
I was in a hurry to say "I don't dare" when he suddenly picked me up horizontally. I exclaimed softly and instinctively stretched out my arms to hug his neck. The long skirt of my skirt gently dragged past me.
A butterfly wing flew open and flickered with stunning brightness. He smiled and said: "You are tired from walking, I will carry you over."
I was very frightened and did not dare to struggle. I just said: "This will attract criticism and make other people talk about the emperor. I will never dare to do it."
The emperor said with a smile: "I feel sorry for the concubine I like. Let others talk about it as they like." As he said, a narrow smile flashed on his face: "Anyway, this is not the first time that I hug you."
I was too embarrassed to say anything, so I could only huddle in Xuan Ling's arms obediently and let him carry me back to the palace. I was so close to him, clinging to his chest, and there was a vague unfamiliar fragrance floating on his body.
Although the aroma is very weak, it seems to come from the bones, making people feel happy. He was wearing a red gold robe with wide gusset sleeves, and the green mandarin skirt I was wearing was gently blown by the wind of Yongxiang Street.
When she got up, the light green ribbon on her skirt softly blew on Xuan Ling's clothes, softly and silently. Along the way, a palace maid from the inner prison saw this scene, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully shouted "Long live" three times.
", lowering his head and not daring to raise his eyes, but taking a sneak peek. Xuan Ling's pace was neither hasty nor slow. In the wind, the faint sound of the hairpin ring on my head shaking and colliding could be vaguely heard. Lingling walked all the way.
Tangli Palace, a palace that no man except the imperial physician has set foot in since I moved in, took on an unusual significance because of the arrival of Emperor Xuan Ling. When the emperor held me in his arms and stepped into this palace, which was usually closed,
All the palace ladies who were sweeping the courtyard were startled. They knelt down in shock and joy to say hello. Apparently Liu Zhu had already let everyone know that I was made a concubine by the Jin Dynasty, but they didn't expect me to come back.
The way is so unexpected.
When I suddenly met the people I had been with day and night, I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I struggled a little, but the emperor didn't let me down, and didn't even look at them. He just casually said "get up" and carried me straight into the Yingxin Hall.
Put me down. The emperor glanced at the palace servants who came in and stood in front of him with lowered eyebrows and hands, and asked calmly: "When you were a nobleman, were you served by only a few people?"
I replied respectfully: "I need to rest and rest, and I really don't need so many servants to serve me."
"That's outrageous. Who are the chief eunuch and the maid in charge of this palace?"
Jinxi knelt down and said: "My servant Cui Jinxi, the maid in charge of Tangli Palace, a seventh-grade docile person, has come to see the emperor. I want to report back to the emperor that there is no chief prisoner in Tangli Palace." The emperor showed a hint of doubt, Jinxi said: "Originally Kang
Lu Hai is the chief eunuch in the palace, and Concubine Li has asked him to work as an errand."
The emperor looked a little hesitant and said quietly: "This is also a trivial matter." He then said to me: "It won't work if you don't have a chief eunuch in the palace. Tomorrow I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select some experienced eunuchs. You choose.
One is in charge of your palace."
I said with a smile: "Why is it so troublesome? Why not let my little Yunzi in the palace do this job first. I see that he is okay, so let him practice."
Xiao Yunzi immediately leaned on the ground smartly and said: "I thank the emperor for your grace and thank you for your appreciation. I will do my best to serve you well."
The emperor smiled and said to me: "Just agree to it, so that people who are transferred from outside will not be able to figure out your temper." Then he said to Xiao Yunzi: "Your master appreciates you and gives you dignity, so you should treat him well."
Do things, don’t let your little master worry.”
Xiao Yunzi hurriedly kowtowed three times and said loudly: "Yes, I obey the order."
The emperor said: "Now that I have entered the concubine position, it is time to add a few more people. Tomorrow let the Ministry of Internal Affairs select some people to come in and select a few good ones to stay in the palace."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but the Emperor will make the decision."
The emperor said gently: "You should rest early and take a good rest. I will see you again in two days."
I followed him to the palace gate, and saw a bright yellow shoulder cart parked outside the palace. Dozens of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were standing like statues. When the emperor came out, they all knelt down to say goodbye. I
He knelt down and said respectfully: "Best farewell to your Majesty."
Seeing the group of people meandering away, the bright yellow color gradually faded away, and then they returned to the hall.
Everyone knelt down to congratulate me, and little Yunzi said with tears in her eyes: "Congratulations, little master, your suffering has finally come to an end."
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. I said with a smile: "Today is a good day, why are you crying?" Then I looked at Xiao Yunzi and said: "Now that you are making a difference, you have to work hard. You are still young, so you have to follow me when you have something to do."
Learn from Cui Shun, don’t just be glib, you should learn to be calm.”
Xiao Yunzi solemnly agreed.
I said "I'm tired" and ordered them to disperse.
I strolled into the Xinuan Pavilion, and my hidden worries gradually emerged. Am I unable to avoid this tumultuous battle in the palace? Or is it already destined by fate that my beloved in this life will be the emperor? In this palace room
The endless struggle really scares me and gives me a headache.
I know very clearly that from the moment the emperor spoke out today, I am no longer the sick Wan nobleman in Tangli Palace. It must be known to everyone in the harem that I have become the emperor's new favorite, and I have been promoted to the rank of emperor before I even sleep with him.
The concubine was carried all the way back to the palace by the emperor in a ostentatious manner. I am afraid that the Six Palaces were looking at her with side eyes and talking about her.
However, I am not unhappy. The person I like is the only person in the world who loves me openly. I no longer have to suppress my feelings. It’s just that this love forces me to be involved in the harem endlessly.
I am in a constant struggle. Do I want this affection or not? I am afraid that both Xuanling and I have to want it. He treats me so favorably, but can I really let go of him? I have
I pray that "I wish to have the one who is of one mind, and we will be together forever", but my one is the most unable to be of one mind in this world. There are so many for him to choose and enjoy. I look out the window and see the spring scenery, and my heart is like a ball.
A mess mixed together.
While I was distracted, I heard Meizhuang and Lingrong coming in hand in hand. Meizhuang's face was full of joy, and his face turned red with excitement. He took my hand and held it tightly, crying with joy: "Okay! Okay! Finally!"
It’s time to get ahead!”
Lingrong hurriedly said to me, "See my little master Wanbin."
I hurriedly helped her and said, "What are you doing? She's gone."
Lingrong smiled and said: "Sister Mei is crazy with joy, but I am still awake. Rules cannot be broken, otherwise those who know will say that you are generous and informal, sister, and those who don't know will say that I don't know what is good and what is good.
.”
The three of them sat down holding hands. Huanbi came in with tea and said hello. Meizhuang smiled and said: "Okay, you ladies are very proud. The slaves in this palace have finally made it through." Huanbi smiled and thanked her and left.
Go down.
Lingrong said angrily: "Why did my sister become a concubine so quietly? How could she hide it so well without even a trace of it being revealed?"
I smiled and said, "Good sister, I really don't know. I just met the emperor by chance in Shanglin Garden."
Meizhuang joked: "The ancients said, 'If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster.' I am talking about you. I was sitting in the palace, and when I heard the news, I thought it was a rumor."
Lingrong said: "It was only after the emperor's servant Li conveyed the decree that we believed it. I hurriedly pulled out my eyebrows and came to congratulate you." He turned to Meizhuang and said, "What I said is right. We pulled out the eyebrows.
The first one arrived."
Meizhuang said with a smile: "The lot drawn that night was indeed quite interesting. Didn't you accept your favor?" Suddenly he looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Is your Majesty happy with you?"
I couldn't help but blush, and so did Lingrong. I lowered my head and said angrily, "Why do you ask me that, sister?"
"Tell me, my sisters have nothing to be ashamed of." I shook my head. Meizhuang said in surprise: "Really? Are you not bullying me?"
I blushed and whispered: "My sister is sick, how can I help her sleep with her?"
Meizhuang clapped his hands and said: "The emperor really values you! It is probably rare since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty that someone has been granted the title of Jin without ever sleeping with him!"
I was not as happy as Meizhuang expected. I was quiet for a moment and then said: "It is precisely because he was promoted to the Jin Dynasty without sleeping with him. This favor is too great. I'm afraid it's not good."
Lingrong also frowned and said, "I'm afraid someone is already planning to make a move, covertly or covertly."
Meizhuang's expression changed slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Now that you are deeply favored by the emperor, they don't dare to do anything to you. As long as you remain in favor and act carefully, there will be no problem." Then he asked: "
I heard that Madam Yu was suddenly rejected by the emperor and was demoted to the lowest level of dressing. The decree of Jin Feng was passed down almost at the same time as yours. Is there any reason in between?"
I sighed: "It was her words and humiliation of me in Shanglin Garden that attracted the emperor's attention."
Meizhuang raised his eyebrows and sneered softly, saying: "Look at her frivolous appearance. Even the young master who has a higher status than her dares to humiliate her with words. She is really humiliating herself!"
Lingrong said: "This is better. With her as an example, no one will dare to provoke my sister easily."
I am still worried: "If it is self-defeating and once it falls out of favor, won't it affect the entire Zhen family?"
Meizhuang held my hand and said seriously: "I'm afraid you can't avoid what happened now. You have already attracted people's attention. If you escape now, you will only be at the mercy of others in the future." She put more force on her hand.
He shook his hand and said, "Besides, it's better to have the emperor's protection than to do it alone, right?"
Lingrong patted my hand and comforted me: "Sister, don't worry, the most important thing now is to take good care of yourself and become a true concubine."
Mei Zhuang's eyes flashed brightly and he nodded: "Ling Rong is right. As long as you and I, the three sisters, work together, we will definitely be able to stand firm in this harem."
