Lying on the bed, Qu Le tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Yes, it was easy to go back to the palace, but after going back, it was inevitable that he would continue to participate in the palace fights, the various difficulties made by the old woman, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen's woman.
He is not someone to be trifled with, and the women in the palace are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Each group is stronger than the other. After she returns, if Xiao Feng still loves her as before, she will not be trampled to pieces by these women.
That's weird.
Just when Qu Le was thinking about these things, she suddenly heard movement outside the door, which seemed to be the sound of shouting, followed by the sound of swords clashing. She sat up as soon as she could. Could there be an assassin? No, she had to
Run! Saying that, Qu Le started to pack her things. Before she could finish packing, the lights outside the door were brightly lit and the shouts of killing stopped. She stuck her head out to take a look. Oh my god, Xiao Feng has stabilized.
Sitting on a chair, there were soldiers outside the door, some of whom were tied and kneeling in front of Xiao Feng.
This Xiao Feng is really majestic. Throughout the ages, such a majestic emperor is really rare. Such a majestic emperor is his husband! Thinking of this, Qu Le becomes happy. No, who is the person he is escorting! It's Xiao Yun
!
Qu Le hurriedly ran out, "Xiao Feng, what did you do? There is water in your head? Why did you tie up your elder brother?" As soon as he came out, Qu Le shouted loudly, accusing Xiao Feng.
"Xiao Lezi, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to sleep well and have a good rest in the room?" Xiao Feng showed off the posture of an emperor. In front of so many officials, he couldn't lose the air of the emperor and let him
It was such a shame for a little girl to teach her a lesson. He kept winking at Qu Le, hoping that she could save some face for him.
"If I don't come out, something big will happen! What did you do? Let Xiao Yun go!" Qu Le didn't understand what Xiao Feng meant by squeezing his eyes at all, and thought he was sleepy or had something wrong with his eyes.
"Why don't you ask Xiao Yun what he did to me?!" Xiao Feng was alive. There was really no tacit understanding! "He came to assassinate me tonight! Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise you would have no chance to talk to me now.
Talking here!"
Qu Le was speechless. She thought that Xiao Yun had tempered a lot of his sharp edges over the years. She thought that Xiao Yun would not have any thoughts of killing again and would be a prince with peace of mind. However, she did not expect that Xiao Yun would take this step.
"Stop talking nonsense! I can't kill you in this life, and I can't sit on the throne. That's my own life! I, Xiao Yun, accept my fate! If you still recognize me as your brother, just kill me and behead me!" Xiao Yun!
He said domineeringly that he thought his plan was foolproof, but he never expected that Xiao Feng had matured in the past few years and was able to stand on his own and learned to scheme with people. But Xiao Yun was a little unwilling to do so.
I can only watch the woman I love following someone else.
"Okay, brother, be happy! Someone is here!" Xiao Feng had nothing more to say! Since his elder brother could do such things as killing kings and brothers, there was no need for him to think about brotherhood anymore.
"Wait a minute!" Qu Le suddenly knelt on the ground and glanced at Xiao Yun resentfully. She knew what Xiao Yun was thinking. He didn't want to be the emperor, but wanted to be himself. "Your Majesty, Xiao Yun did not mean to offend the Emperor.
, He just wants me, so please spare his life, Xiao Lezi, please." There were tears in the corners of Qu Le's eyes.
"Qule! Do you know what you are talking about? You are my concubine, and you actually said such a thing!" Xiao Feng never imagined that someone who looked down upon the Empress Dowager in the palace would actually do so.
She knelt down to plead for her brother Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun was the one who wanted to kill her. Where was she going to put him?
"Of course Qu Le knows what he is talking about? He is your biological brother after all. If you are willing to let him go, Qu Le is willing to accompany you in the palace for the rest of his life and will never find a way out again."
Xiao Feng used all the brain cells in his head, but he couldn't imagine that Qu Le would trade his freedom for Xiao Yun's life. You must know that Qu Le is the most afraid of losing her freedom. She is used to being free and she hates the palace the most.
The rules in the palace were what she hated the most. She hated the red tape and being trapped in the palace like a bird. But today, she actually traded her freedom for Xiao Yun's life.
Has she changed her mind over the years? Or has her feelings for Xiao Yun surpassed hers? Xiao Feng couldn't imagine it. However, he pardoned Xiao Yun's death penalty and imprisoned Xiao Yun in his prince's palace. Because
He loved her so much that as long as it was what she wanted, he would risk his life to give it to her.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that Concubine Le Concubine, the Qu family, was willing to spend three years in the temple to pray for the country. In gratitude for Concubine Le Concubine's patriotism, I specially promoted Concubine Le Concubine as Concubine Le Guifei and gave her residence in the West Ancestral Palace.
I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of each of them rare and precious. I admire this!" Under everyone's gaze, Eunuch Xia, who was beside Xiao Feng, read out the imperial edict.
Qu Le accepted the imperial edict in the eyes of the concubines who were either jealous or envious.
There was no expression on Xiao Feng's face, which was unpredictable, "Le Guifei, you've had a hard journey. Go back and rest early. I'll come to see you later. All the concubines have dispersed." After that,
Xiao Feng asked Eunuch Xia to follow him to the imperial study room.
Qu Le returned to the new Xici Palace, sat down on the bed, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to take off the imperial concubine crown on her head. This was a magical thing, and it was going to crush her head into a meat pie. Could it be that it was from ancient times?
Do all your concubines have iron head skills? Aren't they tired of wearing such a heavy crown?
"My Lady, do you think it's heavy now? Then if you make the imperial concubine in the future, wouldn't the crown be much heavier than the imperial concubine's crown?" said the palace maid Xiao Cui.
"Oh my god! Isn't the queen's crown even heavier? How come it didn't break her neck?!" Qu Le said while rubbing her neck.
"Your Majesty, you are not saying this casually. This time you returned to the palace in such a beautiful way, and you were also granted residence in the Xici Palace. Do you know that the most favored concubines previously lived in the Xici Palace? The place is the best, and the decoration is the most luxurious.
Where is the Queen's Chonghua Palace? The Emperor loves you so much, I'm sure the Queen would have been jealous and wanted to take advantage of you!" Xiaocui said nervously.
"Tch, I don't care so much. Is it a blessing or a curse? You can't avoid it. Her queen has the ability, so just come to me. But, Xiaocui, let me ask you, how many concubines are there in the emperor's palace now?
?" Qu Le asked, she just wanted to know how many pairs of eyes would be staring at her, wanting to swallow her alive to see if her flesh was enough for these people.
"Go back to the empress, after you left, the emperor rarely came to the harem. Some concubines wanted to see the emperor, but the emperor didn't see them. Let alone the concubines, even the empress received a lot of rejection from the emperor. When it comes to the palace.
There are a total of one hundred and fifty-sixty concubines, and only eighteen of them are favored by the emperor."
One hundred and fifty-six? Eighteen? Qu Le really admires why Xiao Feng didn't die of exhaustion. If this were placed in modern times, he would have committed bigamy many times. Alas, think about it, it would be better to be an emperor
, there are so many women taking turns to serve, how many tonics do you need to take to cope with it? Qu Le thought to himself, if he could get the tonics that the emperor took, and go back to modern times, he might be able to make a lot of money, modern times.
Which man doesn’t have some disease? Thinking of this, Qule laughed.
"Currently, the one who is more favored is Concubine He in Ci'an Palace. It seems that the emperor doesn't favor her very much. He just likes to go to her place more often." Xiao Cui replied.
"Concubine He, why have you never heard of it? Are you the new concubine?" Qu Le was very unfamiliar with this name.
"I'm not new here. Your Majesty, you have forgotten that your former palace maid, Bihe, has been guarding your former palace since you left. The Emperor missed your empress, and over time he and Miss Bihe got closer.
Later, the queen found out and made things difficult for Miss Bihe, so that the emperor could protect her and made Miss Bihe a concubine. As for the Concubine He, she is still in your favor!" Xiao Cui sighed.
He took a breath, not knowing whether it was for Concubine He or Concubine Le.
"Bi He?" Of course Qu Le remembered Bi He. She was her favorite palace maid and had always been her sister. This girl was a hard-working person. She had been a slave all her life. Now that she is a concubine, she finally has a happy life after all the hardships.
You don’t have to look at anyone’s face to live your life.
"How are Princess Su and Prince Twenty-one doing?" Qu Le was concerned about her sister and asked hurriedly.
"Why are you asking about Concubine Su? Concubine Su is young and her status is not high, so she will inevitably be offended. The twenty-first prince is young. He is a prince after all. When he grows up, if the emperor appreciates it, he will be granted the title.
My lord, it will be good if you have your own fiefdom." This girl Xiaocui is very smart, and Qu Le himself likes her very much. He thought that after Bihe left, this girl might be his confidant.
"Xiao Cui, your name is too rustic. How about I give you a name called Wan Xin?"
"Thank you, Empress, for the name! Wan Xin Ding should serve the empress with all his heart! There will be no second thoughts!" Wan Xin hurriedly kowtowed to express gratitude.
"Get up." Qu Le doesn't like others kneeling here and there.
"Your Majesty, aren't we getting ready to welcome the Emperor tonight? Today, Your Majesty returned to the palace with great honor and was granted the title of Imperial Concubine. Many of the concubines, including the Queen, are envious. The Emperor will definitely call His Majesty to sleep with you tonight. We'd better prepare well.
Bar."
When Wan Xin mentioned this, Qu Le couldn't help but blush. Thinking about it, the Emperor and she hadn't been together for three years. She thought that when he forced her to go to bed, she was still an immature little girl, but now she hasn't been together for three years.
Three years have passed. We are so familiar yet so strange. How should we face him in the middle of the night? Qu Le doesn’t know.
"Wan Xin, please prepare some delicious food, brew a pot of Yuqian Longjing, and remember to make the bed softer. The emperor hates the bed when it is too hard..." Qu Le said a lot of things to pay attention to, although the three
Years have passed, but she remembers clearly what he likes and what he doesn't like. She thought she would forget it, but now she really can't. (To be continued)
