Chapter 175: At the mercy
At dinner, Qi Jiao sent someone to invite Qi Yun to go over with her. Qi Yun hurriedly packed up the makeup box and followed the palace maid to the place where Qi Jiao was eating.
"What do you think of my sister, the house that my sister prepared for you is still good?"
"Well, thank you, sister. Qi Jiao listened to Qi Yun's words and smiled,
"In this case, I will stay with my sister for two more days. Sister, there are a lot of good things here. ”
On the table was Qi Jiao's dish, and she was a little tired of eating it every day, so she put down her chopsticks without eating a few bites. But these delicacies are very fresh for Qi Yun, not only the taste is good, but the color is also good, she eats very fragrant, Qi Jiao looks very funny, and her mood is much better.
After eating, Qi Jiao and Qi Yun sat and gossiped. Qi Jiao knew that the emperor would not come, so she ordered someone to help her remove the fat powder and change into comfortable clothes. Qi Yun was surprised to find that Qi Jiao's face was very ugly, sallow and sallow, and there was a deep black shadow under her eyes. During the day, I saw such a bright and radiant Zhao Concubine, and she took off her makeup, but she looked so haggard. Qi Yun was very surprised, but she didn't dare to bring it out on her face.
At night, she lay on the bed, and Qi Jiao's haggard face appeared in her mind. Could it be that after becoming a parent, it became like this? But the second sister looks much better, every time I see her, she is full of energy, her skin is smooth and delicate, her complexion is so good, and more importantly, the second sister rarely applies grease and powder. It seems that life in the court, although it seems glamorous on the surface, is actually not easy. I just hope that he can treat himself like his second brother-in-law treats his second sister, even if there is no glory and wealth, it is nothing, Qi Yun entered the dreamland with a beautiful vision for the future.
In the next few days, nothing happened, Qi Jiao has been very good to Qi Yun these days, and she has seen a lot of delicious and fun things. This made Qi Yun's vigilance a lot lighter, and she really played with Qi Jiao wholeheartedly. What makes Qi Yun strange is that she has stayed for so many days and has not seen the emperor, it seems that it is rumored that Qi Jiao is the emperor's favorite concubine, and there are times when she can't be trusted.
This afternoon. There was an arrogant father-in-law who came to Qijiao to spread the word, and the entire Zhaorong Hall was very excited to see this father-in-law, it turned out that this was the father-in-law who was responsible for arranging the concubines' bedding beside the emperor. His appearance also means that the emperor is going to Zhaorong Hall tonight to spend the night, and the people in Zhaorong Hall are naturally smiling. But Qi Jiao, who was the master of Zhaorong Palace, was a little unhappy when she heard the news, but this emotion was quickly hidden by her, and no one noticed.
Qi Jiao began to bathe in the afternoon because she wanted to see the driver. Pick out your clothes. The palace maid was combing Qi Jiao's hair, and Qi Jiao suddenly said:
"Sister, do you want to meet the emperor?" these words startled Qi Yun.
"Sister is laughing, how can the emperor see it if he wants to?" Qi Yun smiled and looked at Qi Jiao and said.
"If my sister wants to see it, it's actually not that difficult. Qi Jiao didn't care, and said lightly.
"It's still not good. Qi Yun was also a little tempted, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to see the Son of Heaven. Qi Jiao of course understood the change in Qi Yun's tone, so she encouraged:
"Don't talk about it, hurry up and ask the palace maid to find you some clothes to change into. After this village, there is no such shop. Qi Yun was originally intentional, but when she heard Qi Jiao say this, she pretended to excuse herself, and followed the palace maids to pick out clothes.
Looking at Qi Yun's distant back, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Jiao's mouth. pretending to be so cold and jade, getting such an opportunity is not like a fly seeing meat, greedily pounced. Qi Jiao looked at herself in the mirror, her face was still delicate under the cover of thick fat powder, but when she took off this layer of disguise, she didn't know the haggard look on her face. Life in the harem is full of intrigue and intrigues, and one accidentally steps into a trap from which there will be no return.
I remember once when the queen mother was still the crown princess. Not angry that she won the favor of the prince, she bought off a maid in her room, hid a puppet embroidered with the princess's birthday under her bed, slandered her and cursed the princess.
This kind of witchcraft thing is a very big taboo. If she gets a little bit of it, she will definitely die, but just when she was desperate, Xiaoyun, the maid who had treated her well since she entered the mansion, went to the prince to wash away her grievances.
After the prince's investigation, he finally found that the materials for making that kind of puppet were only distributed to the crown princess and the two side concubines, and later the prince adhered to the principle of calming things and people, and did not pursue it further, but for the crown princess. But Xiaoyun was hated by the crown princess. In the early hours of the morning. Xiao Yun's body was found in a well, and at this time, there were less than two months left before Xiao Yun left the prince's mansion. Since then, Qi Jiao has never trusted anyone in the Prince's Mansion anymore.
Similarly, don't expect any feelings in the prince's mansion, the prince only has endless ** for her. Every time I came to her room, I just vented it fiercely, and tried all kinds of ways to toss her. Once the prince wanted to bathe with her, and in the bath, I don't know how many times he asked her, and she was tossed and fainted. When she awoke, she found herself lying on the edge of the icy pool, and on the couch on one side, the prince was pressuring her maid to do that unruly thing. The ** of men and women intertwined, the deafening murmur, made her feel extremely disgusting, and in the face of all this nightmarish life, she could only endure it with a smile, and it would never end. Once upon a time, she also had that kind of longing, that kind of worry, but everything was shattered by his own hands.
At this time, the palace maids came out surrounded by Qi Yun, who was dressed in new clothes. Qi Jiao looked at it and sighed in her heart, it was really sad to send her own sister to the emperor's bed. But her face was full of joy,
"I didn't expect that I haven't seen me for a year, and my sister has already ended up like this. I don't even know my sister anymore, it's really a woman's eighteenth change. ”
Qi Yun listened to Qi Jiao's praise and lowered her head a little shyly.
"Sit down quickly, my sister will put flowers on you. Qi Jiao said and took Qi Yun's hand, let her sit in front of the mirror, and personally took out all kinds of hairpins and flowers from the makeup box to dress her up. Qi Yun looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and she was grateful to her sister in her heart. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to wear such clothes and jewelry in my life, and what makes her even more excited is that Qi Jiao actually gave her all the clothes she wore and wore, and brought them when she went back.
The two sisters packed up, it was not early, and a palace maid came up and said that the emperor was coming. Qi Jiao asked Qi Yun to take shelter behind the screen first, and prepared to take over.
When the emperor came in, he saw Qi Jiao bowing to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Qi Jiao up. Looking at Qi Jiao's pink face and spring, and the way her eyes flowed, I couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Stretched out his hand and touched Qi Jiao's face, but Qi Jiao obviously didn't mean it today, and took advantage of the situation to hold the emperor's hand and said:
"Your Majesty, why worry, let's have dinner first. The emperor thought that Qi Jiao was shy, laughed, and sat in front of the desk with Qi Jiao. Qi Jiao sat down and raised a glass of wine and said to the emperor:
"Today's concubines first toast the emperor with a glass, thank you for the emperor's kindness, and allow the little sister in the family to come here to accompany the concubines. When the emperor heard this, he drank it all, and then leaned into Qi Jiao's ear and said:
"I don't know what gift to use to thank me?"
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. What the concubines can give to the emperor is just their own heart. Qi Jiao's words made the emperor happy, and Qi Jiao took the opportunity to say:
"The emperor is the best among the people, my little sister is very yearning, I wonder if Your Majesty can see my little sister with a face?" He was already lustful, but in order to fool the emperor a few years ago, he was not close to women everywhere, and only a few people knew his true face. But after ascending the throne, he no longer had any scruples, and he intensified it. At this time, when I heard Qi Jiao's little sister, I couldn't help but feel lustful.
"That's right, can she also call me brother-in-law, it's a family. ”
When Qi Jiao heard this, she ordered the palace maid to invite Qi Yun out. Qi Yun's heart was pounding, nervous and excited, she never thought that she would see the emperor one day. When Qi Yun came out, the emperor's eyes couldn't be taken off her. The delicate and weak feeling of the little jasper was something he had never experienced in these women in the palace. I came to find Qi Jiao today, also because I was a little tired of being with Concubine Lian, who is now Jing Zhenren, a few days ago, and wanted to change my taste.
Because Qi Jiao can not only let him do what he wants, but also have the kind of reserve that Concubine Lian does not have, but I didn't expect that today was an unexpected joy to see such a stunner here in Qi Jiao.
Qi Yun kept her head down, not knowing the emperor's gaze wrapped around her. She knelt down and wanted to bow to the emperor, but the emperor asked people to help her up, only saying that the family should be so formal.
"Since it's Concubine Zhao's sister, it's your own home, don't be restrained, if you need anything, just tell your sister. The emperor said to Qi Yun diligently. Qi Yun originally thought that the emperor was a stern person who was not easy to approach, but she didn't expect that it was such an affinity, so she gradually magnified her courage and replied to the emperor's question with a sentence or two.
"How old are you this year?"
"The little woman is sixteen today. ”
"It's a good year, did you say that no one else?"
Qi Yun hadn't spoken yet, and Qi Jiao was afraid that she would say yes, so she hurriedly said.
"Not yet, I'm hoping that the emperor will find a good one. Saying that, he glanced at the emperor meaningfully, and the emperor saw Qi Jiao like this
"Needless to say, it must be fine. The emperor looked at Qi Jiao, and there was a little more understanding in his eyes. He didn't expect Concubine Zhao to be such an informed and interesting woman.
Qi Yun sat down, she felt hot all over her body, her heart jumped suddenly, and there was an indescribable feeling surging in her body, and her consciousness gradually became a little scattered. (To be continued.) )
