Chapter XXII. Almonds go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival

There are many discussions in the palace today, and there are two things to talk about.

Naturally, the emperor was attacked, and everyone was shocked, but fortunately, the emperor was fine, but the accompanying scholar fell ill.

The second is about this scholar, who actually slept in the emperor's bedroom as a man.

You must know that there are so many concubines in the harem, and none of them have stayed in Jing'an Palace.

Not to mention staying overnight, even if they touched, the emperor never touched them.

All of a sudden, almonds set off a monstrous wave in the harem.

Of course, all this almonds are completely unaware.

When she woke up, she moved her body, and when she realized that she was fine, she quickly sneaked back to her room.

After Sheng Jingyu found out, she didn't say anything, but the bitter medicine for three meals a day was still sent to her.

The almonds were bitter and didn't want to drink it, but Sheng Jingyu was haunted.

Every time she tried to pour the medicine out, he suddenly appeared and grabbed her.

No, Almond had to drink the medicine honestly.

"Your Majesty, I'm cured, really! I really don't have to drink it. ”

After drinking a bowl full of bitter medicine again, Almond couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded pitifully.

"The doctor said that you are well, and you are considered well."

The resistance was ineffective, Almond was aggrieved, and pouted without saying a word.

She had been drinking the bitter medicine for four days, and she was now so healthy that she could go up the tree.

Sheng Jingyu saw that Almond was depressed, and suddenly said.

"When you're well, I'll give you a gift."

Almond came to his senses when he heard this, "What gift?" ”

Sheng Jingyu pretended to be mysterious, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

With that, Almond also had motivation, looked forward to it, and took the initiative when drinking the medicine.

After drinking for two more days, the doctor took her pulse and finally announced that she was in good condition.

Sheng Jingyu fulfilled his promise and carried a cage to Almond's residence.

I haven't practiced calligraphy for these days of almond disease, and as soon as I can move, I take out a pen and paper and practice.

She was afraid that if she didn't practice for a few days, it would be more than worth the loss.

Almond was practicing seriously, and suddenly something touched her foot.

When she looked down, it was a fluffy bunny.

"Ahh Rabbit! ”

Almond still remembers it, the prey that Sheng Jingyu shot down during the hunt, the rabbit that was so cute that he didn't know how to escape.

By this time the rabbit's ears were completely healed, and Almond couldn't help but hold it in his hands and ravage it.

"Do you like this gift?"

A magnetic voice suddenly sounded, and Almond realized the presence of another person in the room.

"Your Majesty! This is what you bring? Almond suddenly realized.

She was used to Sheng Jingyu's elusiveness, so she wasn't much surprised.

It's Sheng Jingyu's heart is upset, he didn't scare this little thing today, it's boring.

"Didn't I promise you that when you get better, I will have a gift for you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, the minion likes it very much."

If he hadn't mentioned it, Almond would have forgotten about the gift.

But she really liked the rabbit, and teased it at this time, and casually gave it a nickname.

"Are you hungry?"

The corners of Sheng Jingyu's mouth twitched, noncommittal about her nickname.

"This time, I came and brought you two gifts."

Hearing this, Almond, who had been having fun with Baibai, finally raised his head with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Almond diverted his attention, Sheng Jingyu continued.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, do you want to go home and have a look?"

"Yes!" Almond replied without even thinking about it.

"Can't wait to get out of the palace?"

Almonds' excited mood was poured cold water again.

This...... Isn't that what he asked? She hadn't been home in a long time, and of course she wanted to go back.

The last Mid-Autumn Festival was spent in the imperial dining room, burning firewood while listening to the noise of the banquet.

There was a lively banquet in the palace, but she couldn't even look at it, let alone go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Looking at Almond's depressed appearance, Sheng Jingyu consciously made too much fun and remedied.

"But I will allow you to go home on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Almond jerked her head up, but she didn't react yet.

"Really?"

"Really."

Almonds were ecstatic, and they couldn't care about the whiteness in their hands, so they wanted to hug Sheng Jingyu.

Sheng Jingyu's fingers moved, but he still didn't push her away.

That's it, the little scholar is so excited, let her hug it.

When he had enough of hugging, Almond came to his senses and blushed suddenly.

Since returning from the hunt, she seems to have grown bolder.

But she didn't mean it, she just couldn't help it......

Almond secretly looked at Sheng Jingyu's face, and was relieved to see that his face was as usual.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Sheng Jingyu speak.

"But you have to go back to the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening. I still lack someone to serve. ”

Serve? Don't all the harem concubines rush to line up? Where will there be a shortage of people?

Besides, there are no concubines, and the eunuchs and palace maids are also a handful.

But Almond didn't refuse, and it was already the greatest gift for her to be able to go home.

She only needs to go home and take a look, not to mention, the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has never seen it, and she is very curious.

So she obediently agreed.

*

Almonds have insomnia again, because tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Thinking that she was going home tomorrow, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

Bai Bai was also woken up by her, bouncing around her head, and now she couldn't sleep at all.

If you don't sleep, you don't sleep, almonds are hugged and pressed in their arms, fantasizing about tomorrow's scene.

Her moon silver has been issued, and this month she has sixty taels of silver.

She was going to take out fifty taels and give them to the family, and she kept the remaining ten taels for herself.

Although it is not necessary, after all, it is in the palace, in case there is a place that needs to be touched, it is better to leave a little confidence.

Now that my brother's illness has been cured, the fifty taels, in addition to living expenses, can allow my younger brother to go to school.

Thinking of this, Almond was quite relieved, and silently squeezed the money bag that he wore on his body when he slept.

This is all her possessions, and nothing can go wrong.

In order to stay at home for a while longer, Almond got up early the next morning.

She packed her baggage and prepared to leave the palace with the token given to her by Sheng Jingyu.

As a result, as soon as she left Jing'an Palace, she was pressed into the carriage.

"Your Majesty has sent servants to take your lords home and into the palace."

Hearing that it was Sheng Jingyu's person, Almond was not so panicked.

just muttered in his heart, is he afraid that she won't be able to run away?

But it was much quicker than she could have gone home on her own.

The carriage drove up, and the guards guarding the city gate saw the token and let it go without saying a word.

Almond looked out the window and saw the guards saluting the carriage with great respect.

She was flattered, and she was not used to receiving this kind of treatment in the palace for the first time.

The scenery outside the window has changed, from the majestic city walls to the gracious roadside vendors.

There are shouting and selling food, and there are lively inns, selling clothes, selling small items, and books.

"Stop!"

Almond suddenly remembered that today's Mid-Autumn Festival, he went home empty-handed, which was not very good-looking.

I happened to be passing by the bookstore, why don't you buy some books for my brother and go back?
