Chapter 33: Thoughts of the Concubine
All the palace people in Yuyang Palace were jubilant at this time, because their master Concubine Yue just went out for a walk and actually came back with the emperor, which is really something worth celebrating.
The entire Yuyang Palace was spotlessly cleaned after receiving the notice that the emperor wanted to come together, the hall was also lit with incense, and a few red plums were inserted in the porcelain vase on the table, which looked particularly refreshing and pleasant.
Qi Yuan came in and sat on the soft couch, and then motioned for Yang Yueshu to sit next to him, and there was a small red pear wood carving between the two.
"Qingshao, serve tea to the emperor." Concubine Yue commanded.
Qing Shao nodded, and then left from the hall.
"You've been with you for years?" Qi Yuan seemed to just speak casually.
Yang Yueshu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's hard for the emperor to remember that Qing Shao followed the concubine when the concubine entered the palace, but at that time he was young and rarely came out to serve." However, the concubine has been in the Cold Moon Palace for a few years, thanks to her??"
"It can be seen that it is a heavy affection." Qi Yuan lowered his eyes and said.
Yang Yueshu smiled and nodded, this is true, that's why she likes Qing Shao so much.
"She is seventeen years old this year, and the concubine wants to ask the queen for a favor and release Qingshao from the palace earlier, so that she doesn't have to stay in the palace to serve the concubine." Yang Yueshu seemed to just say casually.
If Yang Yueshu did have such an idea before, after all, the palace maids in the palace could only be released from the palace until they were twenty-five years old, but that age was too embarrassing, and it was difficult to find a lover, so Yang Yueshu really wanted Qing Shao to leave the palace earlier, although she was reluctant to Qing Shao, but this was the only thing she could do for this maid who had been with her for many years.
But now that Yang Yueshu mentioned this matter in front of Qi Yuan, she had another thought in her heart.
Yang Yueshu said this while carefully looking at Qi Yuan's expression.
But Qi Yuan held the stove in his hand, and the way he lowered his head made Yang Yueshu unable to see his expression clearly.
"Since you like her, concubine, stay for a few more years." Qi Yuan said in a deep voice, "It's not bad for so many days. ”
Yang Yueshu was stunned for a moment, and then she had a plan in her heart.
Really??
"Your Majesty, master, please use tea."
Qing Shao walked in with a sandalwood tray, bowed down respectfully and put the two teacups on the small table, and the movement was light and could not be heard at all.
"Qingshao's tea is brewed very well, and the emperor can often match the taste." Concubine Yue reached out and picked up a cup.
Qi Yuan nodded, and then picked up another glass.
Qi Yuan looked at this cup, it was very plain white, only there were two budding plums on the side, although it was not as delicate and intricate as the other porcelain cups in De, but it seemed to have a unique charm.
Lifting the lid of the cup, a faint fragrance of plum blossoms comes to the nose, not strong, but people can not ignore it.
However, smelling this aroma, Qi Yuan remembered the scene when he and Qing Shao met for the first time. At that time, Qingshao was wearing an old cloak that could not be concealed, standing under the red plum like a fairy in the sky.
Qi Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth.
I guess this is tea made with snow water picked at that time.
"What does the emperor think of the taste?" Yang Yueshu asked.
"Huh?" Qi Yuan walked out of his memories, then glanced at Qing Shao, who was standing with his head down, and showed a smile, "It tastes very good." ”
Yang Yueshu glanced at Qi Yuan, and then at Qing Shao.
Sure enough, she smiled inwardly.
"Qingshao, Qinglan, you all go down first." Yang Yueshu said abruptly.
The two answered, and left the inner sanctum.
Qinglan closed the door of the palace, and then stood on both sides with Qingshao.
"Qingshao, why are you always absent-minded today, are you not feeling well?" Qinglan's eyes looked a little sharp at the moment, she always felt that Qing Shao's state today was very wrong, obviously she was always as indifferent as water on weekdays, why did she feel a little fluctuating now.
Qinglan suddenly had a feeling, couldn't it be that Qingshao wanted to be on top, right? ?
If Qing Shao's idea was known to Qing Shao, Qing Shao would definitely laugh out loud, because Qing Shao had never thought of it that way. She is not not a person who wants to cling to wealth, but now she is in such a dilemma.
Take revenge, or give up.
If she chooses the former, she should conform to all the favors released by Qi Yuan, so that she will definitely be able to get a place in the harem, and it will be much easier to think about it later.
But her heart is more inclined to the latter?? She didn't want to trap herself in those bloody memories, but her body couldn't forget them. Midnight dreams come back, and it seems to remind her all the time that she shouldn't forget those pains.
These things are going to drive her crazy.
"I'm probably a little tired, it's okay." Qing Shao reluctantly smiled.
Qinglan looked at her with a frown.
Qinglan is the queen's person, and the queen not only wants her to look at Concubine Yue, but Qinglan really doesn't know what the queen's plans are.
Qing Shao didn't have time to care about what Qing Lan was thinking, she raised her head and looked at the sky.
It was still sunny weather, but now with the sudden arrival of those dark clouds, the whole world seems to be about to change color.
Sometimes, the storm is just a matter of moments.
At this time, the atmosphere in the inner sanctum is like the sudden change of weather outside.
"If you take them away, you must have something to say to me." Qi Yuan put the teacup on the table, but his eyes still couldn't leave him.
Qi Yuan didn't think that Yang Yueshu wanted to do anything with him alone by taking all the palace people away, and this was not the style of Concubine Jing in the past.
Yang Yueshu's fingers twisted between the handkerchiefs, and finally she had the courage to speak: "The concubine has the courage to ask the emperor if he has taken a fancy to the palace maid of the concubine." ”
Sure enough.
Qi Yuan smiled when he heard Yang Yueshu's words: "Which palace maid are you talking about, there are several of them in this palace." ”
"Qingshao."
Yang Yueshu said bluntly, she doesn't like to play Tai Chi, she doesn't like to beat around the bush, even if the person she is facing is the supreme in the world.
“?? Are you so sure? Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, neither admitting nor otherwise.
But Qi Yuan appreciated Yang Yueshu a little more in his heart, and sure enough, she was still Concubine Jing back then, and this sensitivity has not faded even after so many years.
When Yang Yueshu heard Qi Yuan's response, the things that were originally only eight points sure could be determined.
Judging from Qing Shao's unusual appearance during this period of time, the only person who may make her abnormal can only be this emperor who still can't figure out his psychology even if he has been by his side for many years.
It's just that Yang Yueshu really doesn't know how Qing Shao intersected with Qi Yuan, she doesn't believe that Qing Shao took the initiative to seduce Qi Yuan, that's really ridiculous.
