Chapter 315: Waiting Halfway
Liang Chenjing came and went in a hurry, did not stay for long, but disturbed Xiao Xia's heart, since listening to his news, Xiao Xia no longer had the leisure to read and paint, but fidgeted and walked around the palace, from time to time sent people out to inquire about the movements in the palace and the emperor's movements.
Finally, after a day, a palace maid came to report that Wang An had just gone to the Xiu Concubine Palace to spread the word, and the emperor was going to the Xiu Concubine Palace to eat and rest tonight.
Xiao Xia frowned and walked around the palace, and after a while, she stopped at her feet: "Gui Ying, how is the arrangement of the Internal Affairs Mansion?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the schedule has been arranged, the emperor list has also been posted, and posts have been sent to eligible governments, and the provinces will respond within five days, and report the list of candidates to the election, which will be selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will be personally selected by the emperor and Niangniang in ten days."
"Do you have to wait ten days? After the show girls are selected, they have to go home and hand over for three days before they can enter the palace, and then they have to go to Chuxiu Palace to live for a period of ten days, so when will they really be canonized and serve the emperor? ”
"Niangniang, this is already the fastest arrangement, what can only be done in two or three months has been reduced to half a month, but fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started preparations, just waiting for the emperor and Niangniang to speak, so fast."
Gui Ying hesitated slightly, and asked again: "Niangniang, ...... Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Xiao Xia glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that the emperor will be fascinated by the concubine, and it will be difficult to attract him if he comes back in the future!" ”
"Niangniang, if you are really worried about the concubine's exclusive pet, isn't there a ready-made solution?"
Xiao Xia looked at her eyes and immediately understood that she was letting herself go up and letting herself please Feng Jintian. To be honest, Su Linglong's entry into the palace caught her off guard, and what was even more unexpected was that Feng Jintian would be fascinated by a woman like her, originally thought that Feng Jintian was just angry with herself, so she went over there, wasn't Concubine Fang also favored before? Within two days, the emperor lost interest, but this time Su Linglong's situation seemed to be very different, could it be that Feng Jintian was really tempted?
Thinking of this, Xiao Xia stopped, turned around and asked, "When will the emperor come to the harem?" ”
Gui Ying looked up at the sky: "It should be about the same, right?" It will be a quarter of an hour at most. ”
Xiao Xia pondered for a moment, and immediately walked towards the gate of the palace, Gui Ying hurriedly followed: "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”
"I'll go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
Gui Ying opened her mouth and wanted to ask her if she was going to wait for the emperor, but when the words came to her mouth, she took them back, and silently bowed her head and followed behind Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia walked quickly to the main road leading to the Xiu Concubine Palace in the Imperial Garden, and stood there without moving, just looking at the direction the emperor came from.
She stood for half an hour, and when she heard that someone was asking for peace, she looked back and saw that it was Su Lingman.
Xiao Xia looked at her and found that the clothes and jewelry on her body were much more luxurious and gorgeous than before, and her face was much more ruddy than before, and she had a feeling that her eyebrows were flying and her spirits were flying, and it seemed that she was having a good time these days.
"Su Concubine!"
"Yes, concubine."
"Go to the palace of the concubine?"
Su Lingman paused and whispered yes.
Xiao Xia slowly paced around her: "You...... Do you get along well with Concubine Xiu? ”
Su Lingman paused slightly, "Back to Niangniang, the concubine and the sister of the concubine hit it off at first sight, just like relatives, and speaking is also speculation, it is rare for the concubine to find a good sister in the harem, so she often corresponds with the sister of the concubine,"
"Really?" Xiao Xia said lightly and was speechless: "You go!" Get along well and serve the emperor well. ”
Su Lingman peeked at Xiao Xia suspiciously, Fu Fu lowered her head and left, and when she walked out for a while, she dodged into a nearby flower bush and stood there without moving, peeking in the direction of Xiao Xia from time to time.
About a quarter of an hour later, Feng Jintian's figure really appeared, Xiao Xia saw him from afar, standing in the middle of the road waiting for him, obviously Feng Jintian also saw him, he slowed down slightly, and looked at Xiao Xia's figure in front of him in surprise.
I haven't seen her for a few days, she is dressed in plain clothes, half of her hair is simply tied up, and the other half is sprinkled on her shoulders casually, and she doesn't even paint her makeup, just standing there lightly.
But the simpler she is, the more pure and flawless she is, every time she sees her like this, Feng Jintian's heart lake will ripple layer by layer, and she can't wait to hold her tightly in her arms and never let her leave for half a minute.
Feng Jintian took a deep breath, he had been with Concubine Xiu for the past few days, he originally thought that he would gradually forget her, no longer be tempted by her, and no longer angry because of her neglect, but after saying goodbye, he found that he still couldn't do it.
As a king, he has the responsibility of a king, it is not right to be attached to a woman like this, my father is a lesson from the past, I can no longer indulge in her, Feng Jintian secretly warned himself, calmed down and walked over quickly.
Looking at the oncoming Feng Jintian, although he had only been seen for a few days, his face was obviously much worse, the edges and corners of his cheeks were sharper than before, he had always been fluttering like a fairy, but he looked a little more sharp today, and the aura on his body was also extremely cold.
Feng Jintian came to the front and stood still, looking at her condescendingly: "Why are you here?" ”
Xiao Xia Fufu: "I have seen the emperor, the concubines have not seen the emperor for several days, especially waiting here, I want to see the emperor." ”
Feng Jintian's heart moved, and his heart that had finally been ruthless was a little loosened again, "You...... Waiting for me? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two stood opposite each other, Feng Jintian lowered his head with his hands in his hands, Xiao Xia half raised his head, and looked at each other motionlessly.
Su Lingman, who was hiding in the flowers, secretly exclaimed in her heart, and asked the little palace maid to hurry up and call the concubine, while she continued to hide in the flowers and observe secretly.
After a long time, Feng Jintian finally spoke: "You...... Finally willing to take the initiative to come to me! ”
Xiao Xia pursed his lips and smiled: "It was Mr. Emperor who left angrily, didn't he?" The emperor doesn't like the concubines, and the concubines' entanglements don't make the emperor even more upset? ”
"Who said I would be upset?" Feng Jintian took a step forward, gently lifted Xiao Xia's chin with one hand, and stared at her eyes with both eyes, Xiao Xia clearly saw the familiar gentleness, although she still wanted to avoid it in a panic, but the guilt in her heart made her not avoid it, but looked at him gently.
Feng Jintian slowly approached, Xiao Xia held his breath and watched him get closer and closer, feeling that his heart was about to jump out.
Seeing that he was about to kiss himself, Xiao Xia closed his eyes nervously and frowned, waiting for him to kiss him that couldn't be avoided.
However, this kiss didn't fall for a long time, but Feng Jintian's cold voice sounded in his ears: "Who is it in your heart?" ”
Xiao Xia was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes to meet Feng Jintian's cold eyes with anger.
"Your Majesty, I'm ......."
Before Xiao Xia finished speaking, an eager voice suddenly appeared next to him: "Your Majesty!" ”
Xiao Xia turned around and saw that Su Linglong couldn't come with a little palace maid, seeing that her mage was slightly messy and her face was crimson, most of them trotted over. Heh, she's well-informed, are you afraid that I will pull the emperor away halfway?
"Your Majesty, the princess has already come to spread the word that you are coming over tonight, and the concubine has prepared a banquet early, but she has not seen you come for a long time, and the concubine is looking for you in a hurry!" Su Linglong said as he walked over quickly, affectionately took Feng Jintian's arm, and looked at him with a shy face.
Feng Jintian patted her hand and said softly: "This is not about to pass, but I happened to meet a concubine." ”
Su Linglong glanced back, as if he had just discovered Xiao Xia, and quickly let go of the hand holding Feng Jintian, and took a step back to Xiao Xia Fufu: "The concubine is forgiving, the concubine is thinking about the emperor, but she didn't notice that the concubine Niangniang is also here. ”
Xiao Xia glanced at her lightly, raised her eyes and looked at Feng Jintian, with Feng Jintian here, where would it be her turn to speak?
Feng Jintian's eyes flashed, he stretched out his hand to help Su Linglong up, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, the concubine won't mind, get up!" ”
Su Linglong respectfully thanked Xiao Xia and Feng Jintian, and then stood on Feng Jintian's side honestly, obviously waiting for Feng Jintian to return to the palace with her, watching her act, Xiao Xia really had nothing to say, this woman, the longer the time, the better her acting skills are, no wonder Feng Jintian was deceived by her.
The three of them stood awkwardly for a long time, no one wanted to be the first to speak, it seemed that Feng Jintian was definitely going to Su Linglong, Su Linglong was also determined to do this, although he also kept Feng Jintian first, but what if he retained it? Take him back to the palace to pretend to be affectionate? Before meeting Liang Chenjing, she was expected to be able to do it, but now she can't do it at all.
Xiao Xia took a deep breath and took a step back to Feng Jintian Fufu: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, the concubine will return to the palace first!" ”
Xiao Xia stood up, lowered her head and walked past Feng Jintian, seeing that she had staggered by, Xiao Xia felt that her wrist was being held, she looked back, and met Feng Jintian's eyes unexpectedly.
Feng Jintian gently pulled her into his arms, looked down at her and said, "Didn't you come to wait for me?" ”
Xiao Xia turned his eyes: "The concubine will see if the emperor is good, as soon as the emperor is the same, the concubine will be relieved!" ”
Next to him, Su Linglong glared at Xiao Xia viciously, Xiao Xia happened to be confronted by her in the blink of an eye, Su Linglong quickly lowered his eyes and went to Fufu: "Don't worry, the concubine will definitely serve the emperor well." ”
Xiao Xia pursed his lips and didn't say anything, just waiting for Feng Jintian to leave as soon as he let go.
But Feng Jintian stubbornly looked at her and never let go: "Didn't you wait for me to go to you?" ”
Xiao Xia's eyes flickered: "Since you ...... The emperor has already sent a decree to go to the concubine, I believe that the concubine is ready, and there is nothing in the palace of the concubine, so it is inconvenient to entertain the emperor......"
Feng Jintian suddenly pinched her chin and looked into her eyes: "Why do you come to me if you push me away again, if you find me, you are not allowed to refuse me!" ”
Xiao Xia clearly saw the anger in his eyes, she opened her mouth to explain, but Feng Jintian suddenly pushed her away, probably because she was angry and didn't grasp the strength, Xiao Xia took two steps back and fell to the ground at once.
Gui Ying Guilan exclaimed in surprise and came over to help her, Feng Jintian's pupils also shrank nervously, knowing that seeing Xiao Xia stand up safely and soundly, he recovered as usual, flicked his sleeves and turned around and strode forward.
Su Linglong watched Feng Jintian leave, and he didn't rush to chase after him, but slowly walked up to Xiao Xia and laughed:
"I underestimated you, I didn't expect the emperor to be so infatuated with you, I don't understand, you obviously had the opportunity to take the emperor away, but you pushed him out in front of me, do you know how annoying this is in the eyes of men?
Oh, since you gave in, I'm welcome, don't regret it! ”
Su Linglong pursed his lips and smiled proudly, stroked the sideburns in his ear with one hand, and turned around to chase in the direction that Feng Jintian left. She didn't go far to catch up with Feng Jintian, not for anything else, because Su Concubine Su Lingman had been waiting here for a long time, so she only needed to ask Feng Jintian to say a word and dragged it down, and then Su Linglong said a few more words, and easily took Feng Jintian back to the palace.
Xiao Xia watched Su Linglong and Su Lingman sisters take Feng Jintian to the Xiu Concubine Palace, Xiao Xia didn't move for a long time, she was complicated, and she began to wonder what she was doing? She was even a little annoyed, how could she think that something very simple was getting worse and worse by herself?
There is no way, she has no way to be intimate with Feng Jintian at all, and she doesn't want to bring him back to the palace, although she is anxious and difficult every day, and asks about Feng Jintian's movements every day, but she can't do anything, she only urges the Internal Affairs Office to hurry up, hoping that there are new palace maids who can make Feng Jintian tempted.
Therefore, in the past few days, Xiao Xia has spent all her time selecting show girls and checking the background information of show girls.
finally got to the eighth day, and there were still two days left before the day of the draft girl, Xiao Xia finally found a suitable reason to meet Feng Jintian.
To be honest, she hasn't seen him these days, she is worried, for fear that Su Linglong will not be good for him, she has no other requirements, she just hopes to see him every day and make sure that he is safe and sound.
So, in the afternoon of this day, Xiao Xia came to the place where he met Feng Jintian last time, and walked around the fork in the road and waited, attracting the sideways of passers-by.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Jintian didn't come, but Su Linglong came: "Oh, concubine Niangniang, come and wait for someone so early?" Waiting for whom? It won't be waiting for the emperor, right? ”
Xiao Xia glanced at her lightly: "Concubine Xiu, you have committed the following crimes, and you want to be grounded again?" ”
Su Linglong played with a handkerchief and squinted his eyes with a smile: "Yu Xiaoxia, you and I know carefully, these two girls have served you and me, there are no outsiders left and right, why do you want to act?" Alas, it's so tiring to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous and innocent every day, I really envy you, you don't have to pretend to be that pitiful look, I really don't understand why men all over the world like you? ”
Xiao Xia laughed: "I don't expect men in the world to fall in love with me, but a man who can fall in love with a vicious woman like you, I'm afraid that only a man who is also vicious to you." ”
Su Linglong tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then smiled: "Heh, it is worthy of being a puppet who has lived in my body, you know me so well, you are right, there is really only this kind of person worthy of me." (To be continued.) )
