On the way back to the palace, I still lay on Di Xin's lap without saying anything unnecessary. I just wanted to lean against him quietly and feel Ao Run's breath.
After returning to the palace, we went directly to Emperor Xin's dormitory and did not go back to Shouxian Palace. It was already dusk after we arrived at Emperor Xin's palace. Emperor Xin still hugged me and got off the chariot, and I cuddled up with a smile on my face.
In his arms. After entering the dormitory, we still sat at the long square table from before. At this time, the food and wine on the table had already been removed.
Di Xin looked at me, touched my chin and said with a smile,
"My dear concubine, the moonlight is beautiful now, it's time for me to commit myself to you."
I just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
"Daji, if you are still not ready, King Gu can wait until you are willing, until you see that I am no longer so afraid."
I looked at him with twinkling eyes, and a blush suddenly bloomed on my face.
"I...,I......,"
"Alright, I'll take you back to Shouxian Palace. After all, I've been out of the palace for so long during the day, and my beloved concubine may also be tired."
"Here comes...,,,"
Before Di Xin could finish speaking, I kissed him on the mouth. Di Xin stared at me with his eyes as bright as the bright moon, his eyes seemed full of surprise.
The next day it was dawn, and two eunuchs stood in front of the bed, calling to Saman across the bed,
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up?"
I looked at Di Xin and saw that he was still asleep and didn't answer.
The two eunuchs continued to bow and call,
"Your Majesty! It's time to go to court early? If you don't get up, it will be late."
"Noisy, noisy, noisy! Are you calling for ghosts so early in the morning? King Gu doesn't want to go to court early today. You send an order to ask Shen Gongbao to come to Gu's palace at noon to see Gu." Di Xin replied.
"But Your Majesty, these hundreds of officials are already waiting in the court to give advice?"
"Didn't you hear what Gu Wang said? Are you deaf? Do you want Gu Ming to drag you out and chop you?"
"Young man, please leave now."
"Wait a minute!" I called out to the two eunuchs in a hurry.
Then he looked at Di Xin and said,
"Your Majesty, you'd better get up, otherwise I will become a sinner who brings disaster to the country."
Di Xin looked at me with half-closed eyes,
"Why did my beloved concubine say this?"
"I don't want the king to become the second Xia Jie. I want the king to put state affairs first and not to bear the infamy because of me."
"Hey! I can't sleep well even if I sleep in. Now, let's get up alone. Why don't you get up?"
I looked at Di Xin with a smile,
"How about your Majesty, my concubine, you also get up and help you dress."
"My beloved, please take a nap! Just let them help me dress and freshen up."
I saw two eunuchs pulling Saman off the bed, and I got up with Emperor Xin. The two maids who came over hurriedly came forward to help him wash up, and the two eunuchs helped Emperor Xin change into court clothes.
Then Di Xin kissed my forehead,
"Daji, just wait here for the king to come back and have a meal with us! Gu Xiachao will come back immediately." After saying that, he walked straight out of the palace, followed closely by the two eunuchs.
After Di Xin left, I was lying on the bed alone. Thinking about when the damn Dijiang would take me back? Forget it, I don’t have much hope for it anymore. Now Dijiang
Xin is not here, should I go meet Emperor Xin's two concubines? I think this Huang Feihu is Huang Feihu's sister, so I will go to her palace first, and then go to Yang Fei's place.
So I followed Di Xin’s example and shouted,
"Here comes someone."
I saw a maid walking gracefully outside the dormitory, then bowed and replied,
"Why do you want me to call my slave?"
"I want to go to the palace of Concubine Huang and Concubine Yang. You go and order someone to prepare some gifts for me. Don't be too petty. Prepare some good rouge, gouache and some food. They must be of high quality. Then come over and help me.
Freshen up and dress up.”
"It's the empress."
"Well, go quickly!"
Not long after that maid left the dormitory, two more maids came in and helped me wash up. I also got up, and after a while I was done washing up, and the two maids picked out gorgeous clothes.
long skirt. Then she held it up and showed it to me,
"Your Majesty, this long dress is really nice. The apricot color matches your skin tone just right."
"Okay! Whatever!"
These two maids came over to help me put on my long dress. My hair was also tied up so beautifully. I didn’t know what kind of bun it was. Then I saw the two maids on my head.
There are some decorations like shells stuck on it.
"Okay, that's it! I don't really like those bits and pieces stuck in my head."
At this time, I saw the previous maid walking in with two silk boxes. It seems that the Shang Dynasty did not have paper at this time? It is not surprising to use silk to make gift boxes. The previous maid bowed and said
,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Huang and Concubine Yang's gifts have been prepared."
I nodded slightly and said,
"Well! Go and call a chariot for me!"
The maid bowed again and said,
"It's your Majesty." I saw the maid turning around and preparing to leave the dormitory.
"etc?"
"What else do you have to say, Madam?"
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Yuli, and I live in Jizhou City."
This jade pear turned out to be a commoner in Jizhou. I didn’t expect that I could meet my fellow villagers here. This reminded me of the Su Hu couple in Jizhou, that is, my father and mother. At this time, I looked up and down at this jade pear, which was dressed in green clothes.
, her eyes were bright, and her black eyelashes were thick and curled. She looked so much like Ao Qing, could it be that this Yuli was Ao Qing’s previous life. I looked at her and asked,
"Yuli, please stay with me from now on and be my personal maid, okay?"
I saw her kneeling on the ground and replied,
"I've been asking for this for a long time. I've long heard that your Majesty is a fellow villager who came to Jizhou. It's a pity that I'm of low status and don't dare to talk to your Majesty."
"Okay, you go to be charioted first! You can follow me to the palace of the two empresses! When the king comes back, I will ask him to ask for you."
"It's the empress."
After a moment, Yuli walked in,
"Your Majesty's chariot has been packed. Please come into the chariot."
I looked at her, nodded and said,
"Um!"
In this way, I left Di Xin's dormitory and stepped onto the chariot. The chariot was carried steadily by several followers to Huang Fei's palace. Yuli followed closely beside the chariot. Okay.
Not long after, I saw Feng Xi's chariot coming towards me. Feng Xi was sitting in the chariot and opened the gauze curtain to look at me.
"Oh! Isn't this Empress Daji of Shouxian Palace? Sister, where are you going?"
At this time, the two chariots stopped in place and were still being carried by the attendants. I just opened the gauze curtain and looked at Feng Xi.
"Where do you go? What does it have to do with you? You, a nobleman, dare to claim to be your sister. Doesn't this mess with the rules of the palace? My rank is not that much higher than yours. I think you should step down and say hello to me.
Just call me sister."
"Tch! You have a beautiful idea." After saying this, Feng Xi put down the gauze curtain, and her chariot was carried towards the direction of Emperor Xin's palace.
Anyway, Di Xin is not in the palace at this time. She can do whatever she likes. He is too lazy to pay attention to her. Business is more important.
Then my chariot went straight to Huang Fei's bedroom.
Yuli was there to guide me all the way to Huang Fei's bedroom. When I walked into Huang Fei's palace, I saw a woman in gorgeous clothes, sitting in front of the window playing with the flowers on the window sill. I wanted to come here.
The woman is Huang Feihu's younger sister Huang Fei. Su Wen heard that Huang Fei entered the palace at the age of thirteen. She has been in the palace for more than ten years but has never been favored by the king. This shows that she is also a very pitiful person! It is also an unfortunate marriage.
It seems that Emperor Xin also took a fancy to Huang Feihu's strength, for the sake of the great merchant's empire, and for Huang Feihu's wholehearted loyalty to the great merchant, so he brought Concubine Huang into the palace.
I walked over to Concubine Huang, who looked at me blankly. I looked at Concubine Huang with a smile.
"Sister Su Daji, I would like to pay my respects to my sister and wish her a long life."
"You...,,are you Su Daji?"
"Exactly."
"Please get up quickly, I can't bear to do this!"
"That's right. My sister has just entered the palace. She doesn't know many things yet, so I hope she can give me more advice?"
After saying that, Concubine Huang helped me up, then looked at me and said,
"My sister is so handsome. I am really ashamed of myself. What else can I say? Come on, sister, please sit down." After saying this, Concubine Huang called a maid and looked at the maid and said.
,
"Hurry up and serve tea..."
So I sat on the seat and looked at Huang Fei, and I couldn't help but look at Huang Fei. This Huang Fei had a pair of single phoenix eyes, which were pale and seemed to look bad. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and although her eyes were big, they were not very good.
She is not very energetic. Her face is still a little yellow. Her facial features are harmonious and delicate, but she is haggard and skinny. Now, Concubine Huang, who is only in her twenties, is as haggard as a woman in her forties. Thinking about this palace
How could you, who lives in fine clothes and fine food, end up like this?
I took the tea brought by the maid and took a sip, then looked at Concubine Huang and asked,
"Sister, you don't seem to be looking well? Are you feeling unwell lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister! I just have a loss of appetite and can't eat. It doesn't matter if it doesn't bother me."
"That's no wonder. Has my sister ever asked the imperial physician in the palace to take a look at it?"
"I've looked at it, but I've tried some prescriptions, but there's been no improvement, so I won't treat it anymore."
"What's on your mind, sister? This kind of heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine!"
"This...,, don't mention it, don't mention it, don't mention it! Don't make your sister a joke."
"Sister, it's okay. Maybe my sister can help?"
"This...sister, I have never seen the king in the more than ten years since I entered the palace. Every time I see the king, he just passes by my palace gate but never enters it."
I think that Concubine Huang was depressed because she was left out. It is really easy for me to meet Di Xin now. Maybe I can really help her.
"Sister, I'll go back and talk to the king, okay?"
"That's great, thank you sister."
I think I came to visit Concubine Huang just to get close to her. Maybe we can deal with Feng Xi with her in the future?
I passed a box of gifts and looked at Concubine Huang,
"Sister, you have to dress yourself up beautifully when you see the king! Here are the rouge, gouache and pearl powder that I ordered to prepare. Sister, just use these to dress yourself up beautifully, and wait for the king to come!
"
"Thank you so much, sister!"
"No need to thank you, we are all sisters. Why are you so polite? Sister, I will take my leave first, and I will also go to Concubine Yang's place for a walk."
"Okay, my sister will often come and sit here when she has time. I am very lonely by myself!"
"Okay, my sister will come to you for tea as soon as she is free."
After saying that, I stood up and bowed towards Concubine Huang and said,
"Sister, please leave first!"
Huang Fei nodded slightly to me and said
"Um!"
So Yuli and I walked straight out of Huang Fei's palace, and then I entered the walking chariot. Yuli followed beside the walking chariot, and we walked towards Concubine Yang's Xinqing Palace.
