Chapter Forty-Three: Distinguished guests keep coming to the door

Xiwu Palace, because our master and servant are playing and playing, a joy, not like outsiders say at all, the little master of Xiwu Palace has fallen out of favor, so there is a lot of grievances up and down.

However, no one thought that the joy of Xiwu Palace would actually reach the ears of the emperor.

"Xiwu Palace is so lively!" A lazy male voice came, and Qiushui Bailu and I were stunned on the spot, but Qiushui was the first to react, kneeling on the ground and saluting: "Slave and maid see the emperor!" Bailu was forcibly pulled to his knees by Qiushui, and then he realized that it was the emperor who came.

I tidied up my appearance, walked in front of the emperor, and saluted: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

Ye Tingchen looked surprised when he saw me, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face: "What, doesn't Huaixing welcome me?" As he spoke, the emperor walked to my embroidery stand, and I had the intention to stop the emperor, but I couldn't say anything when the words came to my mouth.

"The concubine doesn't dare." I followed behind the emperor and walked to the side of the embroidery frame.

The emperor bent down and stretched out his hand to stroke the embroidery on the embroidery frame, and seemed to be very interested in the embroidery: "This is embroidered by Huaixing?" ”

I nodded: "If you go back to the emperor, it was embroidered by the concubine herself." ”

The emperor got up and looked back at me, with a hint of suspicion on his face in addition to appreciation: "Huaixing has entered the palace, so what is this wedding dress?" ”

I had already guessed that the emperor would ask like this, and I had already prepared a countermeasure, and my countermeasure was to tell the truth!

"If you go back to the emperor, this wedding dress is embroidered by the concubine to her brother and sister-in-law, and the concubine is in the palace and can't attend the wedding of her brother and sister-in-law in person, so she embroiders two wedding dresses to show her heart."

Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of intermarriage, and today there are also examples of me and my aunt serving a man together in the harem! So when I heard the emperor ask who the wedding dress was for, I expected that the emperor would be suspicious because of this matter.

After I tell the truth, the emperor will definitely think that the truth is not what I said, and maybe he will think that I am hiding something, after all, since I entered the palace, every time I am asked to sleep, all kinds of things have happened.

Once or twice, the emperor would think it was an accident, but now there are no less than three times.

Sure enough, the emperor's face was already dyed with a look of displeasure, and immediately the emperor's face was about to sit down, and he walked to the door of the side hall: "Since this is the case, then Huaixing will continue to embroider, I also came here to see if Huaixing's wind and cold are better, and I will rest assured that Huaixing is okay with you." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked out of the side hall, and I blessed myself in the palace: "The concubine sends the emperor!" ”

After the emperor left, Qiushui and I let out a long sigh, but Bailu didn't feel uncomfortable, got up and walked to our side, and asked, "Little master, why did the emperor suddenly come and go?" ”

Qiushui hurriedly pulled her and didn't let her continue to ask, and I didn't pay attention to the two of them, so I walked to the embroidery frame and sat on the chair looking at the embroidery on the embroidery.

I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to take my second brother out today to block the emperor and make the emperor dispel the idea of staying with me, if the emperor goes to find trouble with the second brother, what should I do?

In an instant, my heart was in turmoil, the embroidery needle in my hand also pierced into my fingertips, and when the red blood beads came out, I felt that I was very ridiculous, because he sent me in, not only ruined my relationship with him, but also ruined my life, shouldn't I hate him? Even if the Lin family is ruined like this, I should be happy, but why do I start worrying about him again?

I rubbed the blood on the red satin, and I couldn't see any difference, so I began to embroider again.

Soon, the second guest of the Xiwu Palace came to the door, and before she entered the side hall of the Xiwu Palace, I heard her voice: "Where is your little master?" Shouldn't you hide in bed and watch some wild notes again? ”

Qiushui's voice also sounded closely: "My little master is in the side hall, little master Liu might as well go in and see what the little master is doing." ”

When I heard Qiushui's words, I understood that Qiushui just saw that I was too sad, so I let Liu Jianxue in, otherwise I would not be suitable for seeing guests with what I was doing, or my current state.

Liu Jianxue heard Qiushui's words, and couldn't wait to walk in: "Huaixing, why did you lock yourself in the room again, you ......"

When Liu Jianxue came in, she saw me looking at her with a smile, and immediately swallowed back half of her words before she spoke.

"Huaixing, you're okay!" Liu Jianxue saw that I was fine, and circled around me, and was relieved to see that I was really fine.

She pulled me to sit at the round table: "I thought you locked yourself in the room again, although the emperor is here, but you don't have to worry, there is nothing bad about being favored......"

I hugged her and interrupted her directly, I understand that everyone has different responsibilities, for Liu Jianxue, what she wants most is to become the emperor's favorite concubine, and then win glory for the family!

And I'm different, that family is dispensable to me, I never thought of sacrificing myself for that family, and I don't need to be favored to get anything, I want to protect my love and keep it pure.

However, I can understand Liu Jianxue's heart, so I won't stop her from preaching to me, but there are some things that are too much, and they are not necessarily good for me or her.

"Sister Liu, did you bring delicious food to Huaixing when you came over today?" I deliberately changed the topic, I don't want to mention the matter of the emperor coming over.

Liu Jianxue didn't know what I thought, she thought that I was hungry because the food in Xiwu Palace was not good, so she raised her hand and called Hua Zao: "Hua Zao, you go back to Changchun Palace quickly and bring the food box rewarded by the emperor yesterday." ”

Hua Zao heard Liu Jianxue's words, and rushed out quickly, and Bailu also left with her.

"Look at the white deer in your house, it's just carved out of the same mold as you, and they are all the same foodie!" When Liu Jianxue teased me, there was still a worry in her eyes.

"Okay, Sister Liu can ask whatever she wants, sister, I must know everything!" I see that I can't avoid this pass, so I can only relieve the trouble in Liu Jianxue's heart first, otherwise I'm afraid that the days will not stop.

Seeing that I said straight to the point, Liu Jianxue was still a little hesitant, looked at me hesitantly for a while, and then asked: "You just went to Changxing Palace yesterday, and today you went to Invite Moon Palace, what are you going to do?" ”

Hearing Liu Jianxue's words, I found that the news that I went to the palace of the two influential figures in the harem in two days should have spread, but now the queen's people have not come to look for me, and Concubine Shu only warned me vaguely, presumably they are all waiting for the other party to strike first.

"Sister, don't worry about me, I didn't think about anything, I went to Changxing Palace yesterday, but I asked for an elixir for Sister Wen, and today I went to Invite Moon Palace because my aunt invited me to go, it didn't come from my heart, if I had a choice, I would definitely not choose to be with anyone."

When I say this, I try to make my expression and eyes as firm as possible, not only to make my position clear, but also to reassure Liu Jianxue.

Sure enough, seeing me say this, the worry on Liu Jianxue's face was a little less.

"Although I believe my sister's words, but people outside don't see you like this, I advise you to be more peaceful recently, don't let them grab your handle, and don't attract the emperor's attention."

Although I didn't agree with Liu Jianxue's words, I still nodded: "Sister, don't worry, when did I let my sister worry about it?" Anyway, Hua has been gone for a while, why hasn't he come back yet? ”

Hearing me say this, Liu Jianxue seemed to have thought of this matter, and hurriedly let go of my hand and walked to the door of the side hall to look out, she had just opened the curtain, and the flowers had already squeezed in: "Little master, the slave and maid have been looking for a long time, and this is the food box you said, you can see that this is it?" ”

Liu Jianxue took the food box from Hua Zao's hand and nodded, she didn't need to open the food box to take a look at it, she could know if it was this food box.

Liu Jianxue hurriedly put the food box in front of me: "This is the food rewarded by the emperor yesterday, I haven't had time to taste it yet, but it's cheaper for you little skin monkey!" ”

Said words that disgusted me, but the action was quick to put the contents of the food box in front of me, I roughly counted, a total of more than a dozen kinds of food, large and small, basically all of which were not available in the capital, presumably it was the tribute of the feudal kingdom.

I picked a few things I liked and put them in my mouth, and pushed everything I didn't like to Liu Jianxue: "Sister, since it was given to you by the emperor, you should also come and taste it, otherwise if the emperor knows, I'm afraid I will be angry!" ”

Liu Jianxue looked at the few plates of food in front of her, and the expression on her face became a little helpless, although it was only a one-sided relationship, but after such a long time of contact after entering the palace, she almost knew my preferences, and even if she found out that what I pushed to her was something I didn't like to eat.

"Okay, you heartless and lungless, I will bring you some food in vain, but you push everything you don't like to me!" Liu Jianxue pretended to be angry, I pretended not to see it at all, and my mind was all on the food in my hand.

Seeing me like this, Liu Jianxue shook her head helplessly: "That's it, it's my bad luck to meet you!" ”

Then I looked at Liu Jianxue and smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, Sister Liu, it's all my sister who is too greedy, if it weren't for this......"

Liu Jianxue saw that I confessed my mistake and apologized, and the anger on my face suddenly disappeared: "I haven't said anything yet, you started to admit your mistake first, you count me accurately, and know that I am used to being soft-hearted." ”

I smiled and continued to eat what I was holding, but at this time, the third guest from the Xiwu Palace came.

"It turns out that Sister Liu is also here!" When Wen Xiuyuan came in, Qiushui and Bailu didn't report, as soon as she came in, she saw me and Liu Jianxue, and she first said hello to Liu Jianxue: "Sister Liu is good." ”

Liu Jianxue nodded at her, and then Wen Xiuyuan looked at me, she walked quickly in front of me, and knelt down in front of me with a poof: "Sister Lin, Sister Lin's great kindness and great virtue embroidered mandarin duck are unforgettable!" ”

Where did I kneel when I saw it, and I was immediately frightened, but I quickly reacted, and hurriedly helped Wen Xiuyuan up from the ground with Liu Jianxue: "Why does my sister have to make such a big gift, but it hurts my sister!" ”

Liu Jianxue was a little sneering at Wen Xiuyuan's actions, although I was really kind to her, but every time Wen Xiuyuan knelt, Liu Jianxue and I always couldn't feel her sincerity, her kneeling action and the tears on her face seemed to be a livelihood skill that had been practiced for many years.
