Chapter 196: The Past
Rong Le stood at the gate of the courtyard of Shaking Light Garden, looking at the back of Helian Xuan leaving, and couldn't help frowning. novel
Although Helian Xuan came yesterday, he just slept here for a while, and now he left early, Rong Le knows that Helian Xuan is mentally thinking about it.
Rong Le couldn't ask about the affairs of the court, so he could only tell An Lu, when Helian Xuan was serving the emperor, prepare some hot soup or something for Helian Xuan.
The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, the four concubines take turns to serve the sick, and several older princes and princes have stayed in the palace, and now even the last dynasty has been delayed, at the same time, because of the reason that the attention has been diverted, the news of the Western Regions has stopped.
After a while, Concubine Shu guarded the emperor, Concubine Shu early this morning, she let people prepare a stew, the snow lotus in it can be described as a priceless treasure, it was sent by the people below, after the doctor saw it, they all said, this thing is good for the emperor's body, so the concubine did not hesitate to stew, and you can send it to the emperor later.
"Concubine Shu is here," Concubine De said a little tiredly, she kept vigil all night last night, and now she looks a little bad.
Concubine Shu nodded, holding a tray in her hand.
"I'm tired of you," Concubine Shu said softly.
Concubine De was not polite to Concubine Shu, and the two quickly rotated over, originally Fan Guifei kept vigil last night, but Fan Guifei's body was not good, Concubine De and Fan Guifei were not bad on weekdays, so they exchanged with Fan Guifei, and now they can finally go back and rest for a while.
After Concubine He nodded, Concubine De left the East Warm Pavilion. It's just that when she walked to the door, Concubine De paused and looked back at the house. Through a flashing screen, Concubine De could faintly see that Concubine Shu was carefully putting the soup in a bowl.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and Concubine De turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, the concubine stewed a tonic with snow lotus, do you want to use some?" Concubine Shu said softly.
The emperor woke up. Although his health is not good, he is old after all. Sleep is also not good, there is a little noise, and I can't sleep.
The emperor looked in the direction that Concubine Shu was pointing to, and he was on the side of the bed. There is a bowl of fragrant soup that makes people appetizing when they look at it.
nodded, "You have a heart"
After speaking, Concubine Shu went to serve a small bowl.
The emperor stretched out his hand to stop it, and Concubine Shu's heart jumped.
"Majesty?" Concubine Shu looked at the emperor suspiciously.
"I'll be here for a while, I have something to say to you," the emperor said softly.
Concubine Shu hesitated, then put the soup aside, and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
With the help of Concubine Shu, the emperor half-leaned on the head of the bed.
Pull the well-maintained hand of the concubine. The emperor shook it hard.
"Bihua, have you ever blamed me, I was back thenโ" The emperor paused as he spoke.
Concubine Shu's expression changed suddenly. Bihua, the emperor hasn't called his girlfriend name like this for many years.
"Your Majesty" Concubine Shu shouted softly, with a hint of grievance in her tone.
"I still remember that when I first saw you, I couldn't help but wonder how there was such a woman. The word graceful interpretation is so perfect," the emperor said, looking at Concubine Shu.
"Later, after I ascended the throne. Do you know why you were named a concubine? The emperor asked softly.
Guishu Dexian, Fan Guifei is because of her family background, and Concubine Shu is obviously a foundationless, but only under the queen and Fan Guifei, even if Concubine De is the same as Fan Guifei, her family background is not bad, but she has fallen behind.
"At that time, I was thinking, Shuyi, only Bihua is the most suitable for you" So the emperor rejected the minister's opinion and insisted on sealing Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu also thought of the situation at that time, her family background was not good, and her mother's family was far from what it is now, but she became a concubine, and Concubine De's face at that time was not good-looking at all.
At the same time, Concubine Shu thought of Concubine Hu Xian again, if Concubine Hu Xian was also in the palace at that time, would she still be so smooth.
"But His Majesty later had a virtuous concubine, and... And my sister" Concubine Shu couldn't help but whisper, with grievances in her tone and even more anger.
Originally, Concubine Shu had endured it for so many years, but now that the emperor took the initiative to talk about these past events, Concubine Shu still couldn't hold back.
The emperor's body stiffened, yes, he first admired Concubine Hu Xian's generosity and decency, her temperament was crisp and neat, and she had a good appearance, so she couldn't help but put her heart on Concubine Hu Xian's body.
Later, I saw the young sister that Concubine Shu had loved for many years, so beautiful and simple, and her temperament was more dexterous and lovely than her sister, and the emperor really realized for the first time what is the so-called love, love.
It's a pity that in the end, I don't seem to have anything left.
"Yes, I can't live with you, I can't live with you sisters," the emperor said with some distraction.
Concubine Shu had already restrained her uncontrollable feelings at this time, but the corners of her eyes were still a little red.
"What His Majesty said, it's been so many years, don't the concubines still understand, the bitterness in His Majesty's heart is no less than that of the concubine, after all, my sister is the sister of the concubine, the concubine... I just hope that my sister can live better under Jiuquan," Concubine Shu said emotionally.
The emperor once again clasped Concubine Shu's hand, "No matter what, I'm ashamed of you sisters"
"Okay, Your Majesty, it's so decent, but I'm sad, I'm still using the soup, otherwise it won't taste good if it's hot for a while" Concubine Shu smiled.
The emperor paused his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, you bring it, I will drink it."
Concubine Shu brought the soup and watched the emperor drink it slowly, her eyes were a little apprehensive.
"Let's put it away" The emperor handed the empty bowl to Concubine Shu, who woke up and hurriedly turned the empty bowl aside and put it aside.
The two talked for a while, and Concubine Shu couldn't help but sigh when she saw the emperor.
"Your Majesty, let's sleep for a while," Concubine Shu said softly.
The emperor thought about it and nodded, now that he doesn't sleep well, he can only sleep a little longer when he feels sleepy.
Outside, when Concubine De left, she happened to meet the prince and others waiting outside.
"Concubine De" the prince nodded.
Seeing this, Concubine De stopped, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince"
"Niangniang has worked hard, I don't know how my father is now?" The prince asked calmly.
"Your Majesty slept less, she had already woken up when the palace left, and now Concubine Shu is here" Concubine De told the prince what she saw.
"Ah, that's right," Concubine De suddenly said, "Concubine Shu is really worried about Her Majesty, she stewed a tonic early in the morning, and now she is using it for Her Majesty."
The prince's expression remained unchanged, "Concubine Niangniang has always cared about her father"
Concubine De had nothing more to say, so she took her leave and left.
The crown prince looked at the figure of Concubine De leaving, paused for a moment and turned around, just in time to see Helian Xuan who was walking towards him not far away. (To be continued.) )>
