Chapter 117: The Harem of Sole Favor

Back in Yongning Palace, Mama Jinyun helped her finish grooming, changed into clean bedclothes, helped her lie on the bed, and waited for her breathing to be stable, and then fell the curtain and retreated.

Hearing the footsteps gradually moving away, the person on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth were a sly smile. She didn't like the hypocritical atmosphere, nor did she like the deliberate flattery, and she had to pretend to be drunk to come back so quickly.

It was still early, and she was about to sit up, but faintly heard footsteps outside, so she had to lie back on the bed and listen carefully to the movement outside.

After a while, a cold wind swept in with a faint familiar scent, and knowing who it was, she closed her eyes without a trace.

Who would have thought that a pair of cold hands gently lifted the pink curtain and slowly leaned into the quilt, she only felt a chill around her waist approaching, realizing his intentions, she couldn't hold back her eyes anymore, giggled, and couldn't help but hide inside.

The person who came also laughed: "Bad Xin'er, I know that you are pretending to be drunk!" ”

At this time, he had changed out of the dragon robe and was wearing a moon-white robe, only to see him take off his golden boots, and lie down beside her in his kimono, with a faint aroma of wine on his body, which was the fragrance of osmanthus brewing, which was intoxicating.

"If you don't pretend to be drunk, how can you come back so quickly." She smiled wryly.

"Well, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace is really stuffy, and it is still the most comfortable in the Yongning Palace, because my Xin'er is here!" As he spoke, he buried his face deep in her neck, and his tone was childlike.

She turned sideways and hugged him with her backhand: "If you are tired, rest for a while, but you can't snooze, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the rules, the emperor is to keep the New Year with the empress." ”

As she spoke, she saw his face sink as she saw the light reflected by the snowlight: "No matter what rules he has, just let me, the emperor, do what I love to do for a day." ”

"Your Majesty......" She wanted to say something more, but the emperor interrupted her anxiously: "Xin'er, I finally got out and rushed here, and it was ice and snow all the way, you are willing to let me go to Nakunning Palace with ice and snow again, and everyone else is waiting for me to go, so Xin'er, you, always rush me!" I deserve ...... emperor."

As he spoke, he rubbed deeper into her neck again, like a child.

He is an emperor after all, having said that, no matter how hard she can say anything, she can only let him go, not to mention, in her selfish heart, she really hopes that he is there, the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, and in this place, this dynasty, her family, he is the only one......

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to chase you......"

Thinking of her family, she thought of her parents and Mr. and Mrs. Tian, she had been here for almost a year, and she didn't know how they were now, so she should be worried about her......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, and wanted to talk to him, but the sound of his steady breathing had come from her ears, and when she looked down, he was drunk and had fallen asleep.

She smiled and tucked the quilt for him, and slowly closed her eyes, she had just drunk so much wine, although she was not ten points drunk, but she was also three points drunk, and now she was lying on the bed, feeling even more drowsy.

The second day is the first day of the first year of Chongzhen, and it is the first day of the new year, the emperor is busy celebrating the New Year and sacrificing, while she is busy greeting a concubine, Empress Yi'an and Empress Zhou.

At the gate of Empress Yi'an's Ciqing Palace, I met the queen, the queen was dressed in a dress, her body was a little tired by the bamboo mushroom, and her face was even more tired, and her eyes were bloodshot and slightly swollen.

Presumably she waited for the emperor last night, she secretly thought about it, but she was also secretly annoyed, if she could not follow the emperor last night, it would not be like this today......

She stepped aside, bowed down to let the queen go first, the queen glanced at her hatefully, wanted to say something but had to endure it back, so she had to snort sullenly, and rubbed her body into Ciqing Palace.

She was secretly shocked in her heart, but she could only bite the bullet and go in.

As soon as I entered the hall, I found that the other concubines had arrived, and they were all talking with Queen Yi'an with joyful faces, and when they saw her and the queen going, they hurriedly got up and saluted, but when they passed by Shen Meiren's side, she clearly heard a cold snort, she only pretended not to hear, and sat down in her seat after giving a salute to Queen Yi'an.

Empress Yi'an saw that the queen was seated, and asked with concern, "Did the queen not sleep well last night?" Why are you so tired? ”

The queen was not in a hurry to answer, handed her a complaining look, and said slowly: "It is the Chinese New Year, there are many things in the palace, and the palace just feels a little tired, and it is not in the way." ”

"That's good!" Empress Yi'an nodded.

"I think the queen is not tired, but sad!" She didn't look up to know that only Shen Meiren dared to speak like this. Her little beauty is so sneering at the queen, there are really no rules! What's more, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's unlucky to say this!

I saw that Queen Yi'an suddenly smiled, and her face was cold.

But Shen Meiren turned a blind eye and continued: "According to the rules, the emperor should accompany the empress to keep vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve, but who would have thought that after half of the banquet, the concubine and the concubine left the table drunk, and soon after, the emperor disappeared, and after entering the Yongning Palace at night, the empress was naturally sad, and we, the little concubines, are not qualified to be sad!" ”

As she spoke, the Shen beauty even covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, while the other concubines had already looked at the queen and her expressions, and did not dare to say a word.

The queen was sneered at by this, her face had already darkened, and her eyes were about to spew fire, but because Queen Yi'an was there, and because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was not easy to attack, so she had to endure it, and her nails had already been pinched into the flesh.

Although she had been prepared for all this, she was also shocked by Shen Meiren's straightforward and explicit words, and for a while, she couldn't say anything, so she had to be silent.

Seeing that Shen Meiren was so presumptuous in her own palace, Empress Yi'an had already turned her face, and waved her hand to the palace people behind her: "Shen Meiren is also tired today, you help the palace send Shen Meiren back to Changchun Palace, the road is slippery in the snow, pay attention to your step." ”

The meaning of the words was obvious, Shen Meiren shook the handkerchief, turned her head and left.

And Queen Yi'an was so troubled, and she was not interested, so she asked her aunt who was waiting next to her to distribute a small purse sewn with red brocade to each of the concubines, which contained a few small gold beads, and said with a smile: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the first day of the first year of Chongzhen. ”

Everyone saluted and retreated, and Empress Yi'an looked at her deeply, and the complex emotions in her eyes were very familiar to her, because this was not the first time that Empress Yi'an looked at her with such eyes.

Of course, she knew that Empress Yi'an had something to say, but at least because of today's special day, she couldn't say much, but she knew that sooner or later she would come.
