Chapter 16: The Three-Year Covenant
Yuan Xin looked at her delicate appearance, her black eyes flashed with an unknown light, stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, "I almost forgot about my business, but fortunately, I was woken up by you."
"What a serious matter" is probably not a good thing
Yuan Xin's hand on her waist loosened, held her shoulders and let her leave his body for a while, and then Wu took out a blue and white porcelain vase from his arms
"Didn't you twist your foot today, but you haven't had time to see the Imperial Doctor," he said, turning her over and facing him squarely
"Your Majesty," Helian Xinya was surprised to see his movements, and he actually raised his hand and stretched it out to her ankle
"Don't move," Yuan Xin's tone was firm, and his big hand lifted her ankle without saying a word, and then lifted her trouser hem
The fair skin was exposed, and a patch of the ankle was obviously bruised
Yuan Xin frowned, unscrewed the cork on the porcelain bottle, and first smeared a thick layer of plaster on his index finger
"The emperor wants to give me medicine" Helian Xinya finally understood what he was going to do, and said: "It's good if you want Le Ling to do this kind of thing, why bother the emperor"
The way he looked at her with such tenderness made her very uncomfortable
Yuan Xin raised her eyebrows disapprovingly, stretched her index finger to her ankle and gently smeared it, "Concubine Jin, don't you know that there are some things that outsiders can't do for you, not to mention that I like it, I don't feel troublesome at all."
"Is it?" Helian Xinya bit her lip and didn't know what to say
Obviously, taking medicine is such a simple thing, but Yuan Xin is doing it very slowly, very slowly, he is focused and careful, the lines of the side face are soft and perfect, as if he is treating a precious porcelain that is difficult to find in the world
Helian Xinya also slowly turned from the previous cramped to calm, she understood more that things like tonight would only be more and not less in the future, and she had to force herself to adapt
If you want to get out of it, you have to make sacrifices
After a long time, Yuan Xin withdrew his hand and Helian Xinya intimately handed him the silk
"Is the emperor going to stay in Huaqing Palace tonight?" Helian Xinya looked at the man in front of him, he was rubbing his hands unhurriedly, looking noble and elegant
"Does Concubine Jin want me to stay?" he asked rhetorically
"This is the blessing of the third concubine, and the concubine naturally hopes," Helian Xinya put her hand into his sleeve and held his arm
It is clear that this is a silent invitation
Yuan Xin looked at her steadily, his eyes didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he reached out to her eyes, Helian Xinya was startled, but he still closed his eyes obediently
The index and middle fingers glided slowly over her skin, as if to outline the shape of her eyes
These eyes were beautiful, but unfortunately there was nothing he wanted to see, no nostalgia and expectation she had for him
"Hehe" Yuan Xin chuckled lowly, and the original gloom was swept away
Hearing his laughter, Helian Xinya opened her eyes strangely
"I can't stay tonight to give you medicine, and I secretly ran over, only Zhou Dehai followed"
"Secretly, why does the emperor want to be like this, this is the emperor's harem," Helian frowned incomprehensibly
"Concubine Jin, don't underestimate this harem, every move of the harem plays a pivotal role in the front dynasty, as small as the rise and fall of the glory and favor of the major families, so big that it can even affect my decision-making, I should have stayed in the Heart Cultivation Palace in the cold tonight, instead of coming to Huaqing Palace or Accord Xuan," Yuan Xin patiently explained to her, and the hand moved to the back of her neck
"Isn't Accord Xuan exactly where the noble people are?"
"That's right, Concubine Jin, you should be very clear about your other identity," Yuan Xin stroked her smooth skin, gradually moving down, but still calm
Helian Xinya felt the crisis behind her, gritted her teeth, "The concubine naturally understands, "She is Concubine Jin, but she is also Helian Xinya, the eldest princess of Helian Xinya, if it weren't for the restriction of this last identity, there would be no Concubine Jin today."
"You understand, I and the Queen Mother understand, but the ministers of the court and the central government don't understand, and the people of the world don't know anything, just imagine, if I go to the Rou Guiren on the first night tonight, where will I leave you?"
"Yes," Helian Xinya opened her eyes wide, her voice slightly bitter, "I have an unknown background, I don't have a mother's family and cronies, and I was favored by the newly promoted nobles as soon as I entered the palace, I'm afraid that even the palace maids and eunuchs won't treat me as a master," I will be completely despised
"Not only this, but also the identity of the noble person, the daughter of the prime minister, and her relationship with the imperial brother......" Yuan Xin paused, thin lips pursed into a line, "I can't be too fond of her"
"The concubine also understands this," Helian Xinya glanced at him faintly, could it be that he thought about it so much for Mu Luorou and what did she mean
She deliberately pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and she must have made a not-so-happy appearance at such a time
No, no, no, will this make her seem ungenerous?
It's so distressed that when she is lonely and lonely, she doesn't need to think about it, and she can just follow her temperament
As everyone knows, her tangled appearance looks like it is the former in Yuan Xin's eyes, so she is a little jealous
This discovery made Yuan Xin a little pleased, and the big hand slid into her beautiful back little by little, and Helian Xinya felt the burning temperature of his hand, and his body stiffened obviously, and his thoughts were immediately pulled back
Her stiffness and discomfort caused Yuan Xin's hand to stop moving down, but it still didn't pull out
"Since the emperor can't go to the noble people, why don't you just stay in Huaqing Palace, so that the concubines can have a little face, and the days in this palace can be more comfortable," Helian Xinya pulled the corners of her mouth, and without further ado, she decided to take him down tonight, "The emperor is not afraid of hurting Sister Rou's heart."
Yuan Xin sighed lightly, "After seeing Concubine Jin, I still don't understand my painstaking efforts"
"Oh"
"Concubine Jin, think about it again, what if I stay with you?"
He looked into her thoughtful eyes, and before she could answer, he took the first step to speak for her: "A woman with an unknown background was suddenly named Concubine Jin by Yue Ju, and today in Cining Palace, I and Huang Eniang's attitude towards you is well known, if I spoil you too much from the beginning, then I can't tolerate you, not only this harem, but also a number of ministers of the former dynasty will criticize you."
"In addition, they will definitely use all kinds of methods to find out your details, if the identity of the Helian clan is known to others, then the group of ministers will definitely cause a riot, and they will jointly write a letter to threaten me."
"The letter threatens the emperor to abolish the concubines," Helian Xinya's mouth stiffened
Yuan Xin shook his head, his eyes were cold, "It's not that you are wasted, you are killing you, a mountain is intolerable to the two tigers, the Yuan family and the Helian family will never be able to shake hands and make peace."
"Then why did the emperor summon me into the palace and make me a concubine, as well as the queen mother's attitude towards me, she didn't mean to kill me at all," Helian Xinya felt a chill down her spine
She planned a good idea, but she forgot the purpose of entering the palace, she never thought about this man's intention to let her enter the palace
Could it be that he had insight into Helian Xinya's ambition from the beginning, Helian Xinya was very eager to know this question, but knew that she must not ask it, and if she asked, she would not admit herself
"Huang Eniang is good to you, because her relationship with the Helian clan was decades ago, and I don't know very well," Yuan Xin imprinted a kiss on her face, and the wings of her nose were filled with the fragrance of roses on her body, "As for me," he suddenly stopped saying and smiled mysteriously at her
"Yes"
"I can't tell you before the time comes," he chuckled, scratching her nose
Although she didn't like the feeling of being treated like a child, Helian Xinya still pursed her lips and forced a sweet smile
Yuan Xin glanced out the window and knew that it was late
"I must go back, you should rest early, and be careful not to catch a cold at night," he quickly approached her red lips and pecked and kissed her, then let go of her, got up, and strode towards the temple door
"Whew" After the bright yellow figure disappeared, Helian Xinya finally breathed a sigh of relief
"Niangniang" After a while, Le Ling and Mo Lan walked in quickly, and when they came to her side, the careful Mo Lan found that she had changed her sitting posture and changed to leaning back on the short table, and the big skuze on her body was also untied, as for Le Ling's mind, she was not smart, so she naturally didn't find out
"Niangniang, why did the emperor come and leave again" Mo Lan's eyebrows were worried, could it be that Niangniang couldn't bear it and drove the emperor away......
"Oh, he said he had important court affairs to settle tonight," Helian Xinya said slowly, she wasn't going to explain what she heard from Yuan Xin tonight, because she hadn't fully digested it herself
"Ah, being the emperor is so hard, will Niangniang be like this in the future?"
"Shut up, Leling," Helian Xinya suddenly shouted in a deep voice, putting her index finger to her lips and winking at her
Beware of partition walls with ears
When she first came, she didn't care much about this, but after in-depth contact with Yuan Xin, she suddenly felt that this man was definitely not simple, even if there were only three of her master and servant in Huaqing Palace at this moment, she began to subconsciously worry about whether someone would secretly monitor her words and deeds
Le Ling was so frightened that she closed her mouth tightly, and Mo Lan was even more worried, her brows tightened
Helian Xinya put down her index finger and sighed when she saw the two of them looking like they were facing a great enemy: "Don't be too restrained, after all, this Huaqing Palace is also the only place that belongs to us, where anyone is also tense in their own home, not only others will doubt that they are not at ease when they see it."
After instructing something, Helian Xinya got up and went to sleep, while Mo Lan slept outside the screen
Yuan Xin is not easy to deal with, and the people he allocated to her are not credible, and in a few days, a few eunuchs and palace maids will come to Huaqing Palace to serve her, and when she arrives, she is afraid that she will not be able to be quiet for a while
Can the three-year covenant she made to Dugu be completed on time?
