Chapter 4 Preparation
Today's sunshine is very good, Wei Xiyan asked Birou to set up a game of chess in the courtyard, holding a white piece in one hand and a black child in the other, and played Go by herself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It has been some time since he entered the palace, but the emperor has not sent someone to pass the word for a long time.
It is also her own bad luck, it was Mrs. Yang who was entangled tightly in the early days. Later, when the war in the north was tight, the emperor was so busy that he had no time to summon her.
But who knows if there is a concubine in this!
Fortunately, the queen still has some expectations for her, wait a little longer, and when the war stops, maybe the emperor will be able to remember her.
waited for the war to stop, but the emperor fell ill.
Except for the queen and a few concubines who serve every day, no one has been able to go in to take a look at the emperor, and it is inevitable that the body will not be able to bear it if he wants to sleep for so many days.
"Mother, mother!" Birou suddenly ran towards her in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xiyan turned his head to look at her.
"The Emperor...... The queen has just sent someone to deliver a message, asking for ...... All the concubines went to her palace! Birou was out of breath.
Wei Xiyan frowned, put down the chess pieces, gather all the concubines at this time, isn't it......
"Quick," she said to Birou, "Hurry up with me and change my clothes......"
When he walked to the Zichen Hall where the queen lived, a group of people had already gathered inside. She just saw Yang Guifei sitting in the center of a group of people at a glance, her face was much worse than the last time she saw her, with a thick tiredness, but this made her body a lot less angry.
"Auntie!" Before the delicate voice could react, a crimson figure passed in front of him and pounced on the concubine.
The woman's skin is like condensation and greasy like snow, her willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes are half-curved and hidden in amber, her lips are slightly upturned and her teeth are fragrant, and she only wears a crimson thin shirt over her tight-fitting bandeau and her figure is concave and convex.
It's really flattering!
"Hmph, shameless fox." Wei Xiyan suddenly heard a female voice next to her scolding in a low voice, and turned her head to look at the woman who was talking, although her appearance was only middle and upper, but she had a sassy pride.
After discovering her gaze, she didn't laugh angrily, and pointed to the woman in scarlet clothes from a distance and said to Wei Xiyan: "I'm talking about that Mrs. Yang, you are much more pleasing to the eye than her." I didn't realize that she would say this, Wei Xiyan didn't know what to say for a while.
She approached and said familiarly: "Look at your face, I heard that the emperor has just included a female official in the harem recently, but you?" ”
Wei Xiyan nodded and said, "The concubine is the imperial maid Zhang." ”
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang," she smiled, "My name is Yu Chenfu." ”
Wei Xiyan filtered this name in his mind, and hurriedly blessed himself, "Please say hello to Concubine Yu." ”
She grabbed it, frowned, and said, "We are the same age, so we don't need to be so restrained." ”
Later, she said: "As soon as I see you, I like you inexplicably, I live in Changchun Palace, and I remember to come to me often when I have time." ”
Wei Xiyan nodded yes, she wanted to say something, but the crowd suddenly fell silent, and it turned out to be the queen who appeared.
The queen's face was worse than that of the concubine, and she glanced at the concubines under the seat, and her voice was slightly vicissitudes: "Call the sisters of the palace today, not for anything else, I think the emperor has been ill recently, everyone has heard of it." ”
Speaking of this, the queen seemed to have a headache, held her forehead with her left hand, her face was pale, and said: "Although the emperor's body is no longer in serious trouble, he still can't take it lightly. From now on, all talented people and concubines will take turns to serve the emperor and take care of the emperor's daily life until the emperor recovers. ”
"Yes, Queen!" The seated crowd spoke in unison.
As soon as Biqiao helped Wei Xiyan out of the Zichen Palace, he heard a familiar voice behind him, "Imperial Lady Zhang, please stay!" ”
Turning her head, she saw Pinghui behind her and smiled at her: "The queen invites Niangniang to move into the palace." ”
Wei Xiyan followed Pinghui into the Zichen Hall again, and saw the queen with her hands on her forehead, her expression was a little painful, and her face was even paler than just now.
Walking forward, she didn't say a word, and gently rubbed the queen's temples. After a long while, the queen stretched her eyebrows, but her eyes were still closed, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Wei Xiyan tried to suppress her voice softly: "The queen has been taking care of the emperor recently, I heard that I haven't closed my eyes for a few days, beware of being tired!" ”
The queen opened her eyes, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will go to serve in front of the palace." ”
Wei Xiyan was stunned, and immediately said after reacting: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”
"You don't have to thank the palace," the queen said: "If it weren't for Mrs. Yang's obstruction, you wouldn't have to wait until now, now that you show your face more, the emperor will recover his body one day, and he will be able to remember you in his heart." ”
Wei Xiyan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Niangniang's great kindness, the concubine's body is unforgettable." ”
The queen thought for a moment, and then said with some worry: "It's just that you will know the news of your visit to the palace soon, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors, so you don't have to pay much attention to it." ”
Wei Xiyan nodded and said, "The concubine knows." ”
After returning to Changle Palace, Birou helped Wei Xiyan to the room. After sitting down, she finally couldn't stop sighing......
"Niangniang is about to go to the palace, why are you bitter?" Birou said, pouring a glass of water and placing it in front of Xiyan.
Wei Xiyan waved his hand and did not answer.
If you really want to let yourself go to the palace, why bother to order in front of the concubines that only talented people are allowed to go to the palace? In order to hold herself firmly in the palm of her hand, the queen mother also worked hard!
Thinking of this, Wei Xiyan smiled bitterly.

In Qingfu Palace, the candle flame is flickering.
Chen Feng asked the woman opposite with concern: "Has the concubine's health improved recently?" ”
Concubine Shu smiled faintly, "It's all old problems, don't worry." ”
Chen Feng's eyebrows were twisted together, and he said softly: "Although it is spring, the weather is still very cold, so you must pay more attention to your body on weekdays." ”
Concubine Shu smiled and nodded, "This palace will pay attention." To see you today, the mother is happy and her body will get better. Picking up the tea cup in front of her, Concubine Shu continued: "I'm afraid the emperor's body is not good." ”
Chen Feng nodded, his expression unfazed, "My son knows." ”
Concubine Shu has a hidden melancholy, she doesn't care about fame and fortune all her life. I always thought that my son's heart was with him, but I didn't want him to show his heart to himself so suddenly, when did my son start to change? Pity the mothers in this world, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they will rely on their children.
After thinking about it, Concubine Shu was a little upset, trying not to let herself think about it anymore, she opened her mouth and said to her son: "Have you heard recently that the emperor has newly accepted a royal maid?" ”
Chen Fengdi's eyes darkened, and he pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "I heard that she is a female official, but she was included in the harem by her father." ”
Concubine Shu put down the tea cup in her hand and said, "That woman has seen it in this palace, and she looks like a fairy." It's strange to say, it's obviously the daughter of a businessman, not to mention that she was born so handsome, and her temperament also gives people a feeling of being out of reach. ”
"Oh," Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "how do you compare with Madame Yang?" ”
Concubine Shu pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of appearance, Mrs. Yang is not inferior to her, but the latter's temperament is too kitsch, which is far from the royal maid." ”
"But," said the concubine again, "the queen seems to treat her unusually. ”
"I have a look, but I don't have a family background. If I were the queen, I would be closer to her, after all, she didn't have a concubine like Madame Yang who was loved by her father. Chen Feng said flatly.
"It's a pity that I'm a girl from a white family." Concubine Shu sighed, "I think that woman is really pitiful, and then again, this palace likes her very much." ”
Chen Feng didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth quietly overflowed with a slight smile. Picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all......
