Chapter Ninety-Five: Good News
Half a month later
"Master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Early in the morning, Liuli happily walked into the house and shouted, and when she saw Su Zixu, her whole face was full of smiles, and she was very excited.
"What's wrong?" Su Zixu was a little strange, was there any joy that Liuli was so happy early in the morning?
"Master, have you heard? In a few days, the emperor will go to the Ghost Valley to hold an autumn hunt, and all the concubines in the harem can go with him. The smile on Liuli's face had not faded, and she seemed a little excited when she spoke.
"Ghost Valley, what kind of place is that?" asked Su Zixu suspiciously.
"Ghost Valley is not far from the capital to the north, about thirty miles from the capital, and the emperor goes there every year to hold an autumn hunt. The old slave heard that there were many animals there, and I heard that there were often some strange animals there, which were very fierce. Mama Lian walked in from outside, and then replied with Liuli's words.
"In that case, why do you want to go there?" Su Zixu was a little strange, why would he go if it wasn't safe there?
"Master, I don't know, although there are many fierce beasts in Ghost Valley, those fierce beasts only haunt a place called Ghost Mist Forest in Ghost Valley. The place where the autumn hunt is held is not close to the Ghost Fog Forest, and the wind and sun are beautiful all year round, and there have been no accidents, so the emperor will go there every autumn. ā
"I see. Su Zixu nodded, looked at the excited Liuli, and was a little puzzled: "It's the emperor's business that the emperor wants to go to autumn hunting, why are you happy?"
Liuli said with a smile: "Master, I heard that the emperor has ordered that all the concubines will be brought with him this autumn hunt." If you go, you can take the slave with you, but the slave and maid have not been out of the palace for a long time. ā
When she was still a member of Jiumen, she was free every day, and she went wherever she liked. Since she came to the palace, she has to stay in Yiran Juli all day long, and she can't go anywhere, but she is suffocated. Finally had a chance to go out, could she not be happy?
"Outside the palace?" Su Zixu muttered to himself, a faint smile appearing on his eyebrows.
She has traveled here for so long, and she hasn't left the palace to open her eyes, and she doesn't know what life in Nanfeng Country is like.
Although it is said to be an autumn hunt, you can't walk around at will, and you can't see a lot of customs here, but fortunately, it is outside the palace, and it is still worth being happy.
"Presumably, after a while, the emperor should let people pass on the holy decree. Ruri said, looking out the door from time to time.
Su Zixu was asking Mama Lian to help her comb her hair, looking at Liuli's appearance, she shook her head helplessly.
Don't look at Liuli's usual steady, in fact, he is still a playful character in his bones.
Even Mama smiled but did not speak.
Sure enough, when it was time to go, Emperor Yan sent people to pass the holy decree to various palaces and said about the autumn hunt.
When it was passed to Yiranju, when the little eunuch who passed the decree left, Liuli clapped his hands happily and said, "Master, it's great." ā
Su Zixu was very helpless, but his heart was also full of joy, he had been here for so long, and he finally had the opportunity to go out.
The concubines of the other palaces were all overjoyed after receiving the holy decree, after all, they had not left the palace for a long time. It's a good thing to be able to go out once, relieve boredom, and open your eyes.
There is only one person who reacted very abnormally after receiving the holy decree, and that was Concubine Shen of Yaoyun Palace.
"Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Wan'er was a little strange, it should have been a happy thing to be able to follow the emperor out for autumn hunting, but why was Niangniang depressed after receiving the holy decree?
Last year, when Niangniang followed the emperor to autumn hunting, she stole the limelight, because the emperor gave most of the prey to Niangniang. In particular, the skin of the white fox is very precious, and the mother takes it back to the palace to make clothes, but she envy other people.
"Guan'er, you send someone to tell the emperor, and you won't go to the palace for this year's autumn hunting. Concubine Shen said lightly.
After speaking, he looked in the mirror, stretched out his hand and touched his face, and fell into deep thought.
Wan'er was silent on the side, she knew why her mother was reluctant to follow the emperor to autumn hunting.
Since Niangniang met the emperor on the first day of her injury, she has not seen the emperor again for the next half a month.
It's not that the emperor doesn't come, but the mother doesn't want to see it. Every time the emperor came up, the mother was closed, and the emperor stood outside the palace for a short time before leaving, and the mother was sad after the emperor left. Fortunately, in the past half a month, in addition to going to Kunning Palace and the palace of the third prince, the emperor did not go to the palaces of other concubines, nor did he favor any concubines.
Because the injury on her face has not healed, her mother has been closed for half a month.
Although Doctor Chang would come every day to change the medicine for Niangniang, the parrot scratched Niangniang's face too badly, and Niangniang's skin was very tender, so although the injury was almost healed, there were still scars.
Niangniang has always cherished her beauty, and she is proud of her stunning appearance, but she didn't expect it to be broken, and Niangniang naturally couldn't accept it.
"Niangniang, Doctor Chang is here. A little eunuch entered the inner chamber and replied.
"Let him in. ā
". Doctor Chang arched his hand.
"No need to be polite. Concubine Shen waved her hand.
"Doctor Chang, when will the scars on my mother's face disappear completely? After the examination was completed, Guan'er asked anxiously.
"Niangniang, Weichen brought a few bottles of jade dew cream, and Niangniang applied it to her face three times a day in the future, and within half a month, the scars on her face should be completely removed. Looking at Guan'er's anxious appearance, Doctor Chang advised: "Niangniang's injury must not be urgent, except for the method that Weichen said, other methods should not be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will backfire, and the scars on Niangniang's face will be difficult to remove." ā
How could Imperial Physician Chang not know the thoughts of Concubine Shen and Guan'er. The concubines in the harem have always been most interested in beauty, not to mention that Concubine Shen is now the most favored by the emperor, this injury, after half a month, is not completely healed, and her heart must be uncomfortable.
Let's ask, what woman doesn't want to appear in front of the emperor with her best face?
However, this kind of thing is in a hurry, so he can't help but say a few more words, lest Concubine Shen use other inappropriate methods in order to get rid of the scars on her face as soon as possible. At that time, there was nothing he could do.
"Niangniang, Weichen retired first. Doctor Chang arched his hand, glanced at Concubine Shen, and retreated.
"Niangniang, this ......" Guan'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet, if the scar on Niangniang's face would take half a month to completely remove, then Niangniang really couldn't go autumn hunting with the emperor.
Concubine Shen had a calm face and said, "Let people go back to the emperor, it's good to stay in the palace this time in the autumn hunt." ā
Guan'er looked at Concubine Shen and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to go out and order someone to go back to Emperor Yan.
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart
"Concubine Shen doesn't go to Ghost Valley?" Emperor Yan wondered, and then let out a sigh of nothingness.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shen took a fancy to her appearance like everyone else.
Speaking of which, she is the only one in this harem who doesn't pay attention to her appearance from beginning to end.
It's just her, different from others.
"In that case, let Concubine Shen stay in the palace if you order it to go down. The queen and Concubine Qi have both gone, and there is just a lack of someone to take care of in this palace, so it is better for her to stay and help me take care of the harem temporarily. Emperor Yan said to the little eunuch who came to pass the word.
The little eunuch took the order.
Furen watched Emperor Yan's demeanor from the sidelines and was silent. Recently, he really can't guess the emperor's mind more and more.
Just now, the palace people replied to Concubine Shen about not going to autumn hunting, but the expression on the emperor's face seemed to think of another person
