Chapter Twenty-Four: Concubine De

Gorgeous and elegant decoration, reasonable layout and furnishings, a scene and a mountain are decorated just right, the Guanju Palace, bathed in the brilliant warm and bright sunshine.

The Hongni Pavilion in the east side hall of Guanju Palace, the place where Concubine De usually takes a lunch break and reads books.

On a chaise longue covered with thick cushions by the window, Concubine De leaned on a soft pillow embroidered with a red plum herald and rested on the chaise longituna.

A thin silk quilt covered her chest, her jade hand was on her abdomen, her eyes were closed, and a palace maid knelt on the low couch in front of the chaise longue, gently beating her thigh for Concubine De.

On the left side of the chaise longue against the wall is a tall table, a white jade vase with a few begonias, the calyxes are like rouge, and the fragrant orchids are fragrant.

On the surrounding walls are several embroidery paintings with various colors of silk thread and skillful embroidery to delight several scenes of joyful harvest.

In the past was a sturdy sandalwood desk, with a brush shelf on the table, a tiger book town carved from black jade, and a somewhat yellowed antique book stall in the center, as if it had just been flipped through and had no time to close it.

On the desk diagonally opposite the chaise longue, a jade dingzi incense burner is wafting with curling green smoke, and the palace maid Jinxiu casually threw a piece of orange peel into the furnace, and a unique fragrance of oranges smoked out, and Nana was scattered in the air like a mist and clouds.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the Cuiying girl in Mrs. Li's palace asks to see you." A young eunuch outside the hall walked in softly, squeezing his eyebrows and communicating with Jinxiu, hoping that Jinxiu would help him report, Jinxiu pointed to Concubine De and let him go by himself, but the young eunuch could only bend down and whisper the report, for fear of alarming Concubine De who was resting.

"Well, let her in." Concubine De still squinted, lazily responded, her body turned slightly, and she lay on her back more comfortably.

"Slave maid Cuiying see Concubine De Niangniang, please Concubine De Niangniang go and see our Niangniang." Cui Ying looked anxious, her eyes were red, and she banged her head as she spoke.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Li? Have you asked the doctor to see it? Jinxiu is ready to prepare, and the palace is going to Mrs. Li to have a look. Hearing this, Concubine De, who was resting, suddenly opened her eyes, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Hui Niangniang, the imperial doctor has come to see it, but it's just ......" Cuiying didn't dare to continue.

Concubine De's phoenix eyes were slightly sideways, and the light flashed by, needless to say, it must have been the imperial doctor who shirked indiscriminately and dealt with it casually.

"Help me get my makeup." Concubine De commanded coldly.

Because Mrs. Li's father, Lord Li, worked under Concubine De's father, in the harem, although this Mrs. Li was not good with her, she was also her person.

So she had to go to see her no matter what, and Cui Ying was able to find her, which showed that Mrs. Li's condition was really serious.

It's just that why didn't she report it to the queen?

Concubine De was puzzled.

Where did she think that Mrs. Li was afraid of seeing the queen mother now, as soon as Cui Ying mentioned the queen mother, she was frightened and inexplicable, and Cui Ying had no choice but to come to Concubine De.

When Concubine De was pondering, Jinxiu combed a flying fairy bun for her, inserted a peacock inlaid with green jade in the middle of the bun, and a few strands of pearl pendant hanging down in the step, not long or short hanging on an inch between the eyebrows, the pearl is moist and soft, and at a glance you know that it is not ordinary, and the hairpin with artificial pomegranate petals made of red coral on both sides is even more precious.

The gown made of handmade delicate jacquard satin and the snow-white fox fur cloak is dressed in a graceful and luxurious appearance.

Every time Concubine De appears in the eyes of others, she dresses herself up gracefully and luxuriously, surrounded by beads, no matter what, even if the emperor hasn't turned over her brand for a long time, she can't damage the title of Concubine De and show people her frustration.

The dressed Concubine De took the palace maids and eunuchs who matched her rank, and the group went to Mrs. Li's palace in a mighty way.

*

Entering Mrs. Li's bedroom, Concubine De checked it and saw Mrs. Li shrunk on the bed, looking scared and frightened, she couldn't help frowning, "Sister Li, what's wrong with you?" Come on, why don't you invite Imperial Doctor Qiu to take a look. ”

"You took my brand and went to ask Imperial Doctor Qiu." Concubine De raised her eyebrows and instructed Cui Ying, who was standing next to her to serve, and Cui Ying immediately thanked her happily when she heard the words and ran away

"You go and keep guard outside the door." Concubine De's phoenix eyes flashed a cluster of sharp light slightly, looking at Mrs. Li, who was shrunk in the corner of the bed, with an untidy appearance, and a whisper in her mouth, commanding Jinxiu.

"Celestial Princess, don't look for me, I didn't kill you, don't look for me......" Mrs. Li held herself in her hands and whispered in her mouth.

Concubine De's brows furrowed more and more when she heard this, what does the death of the eldest princess have to do with her?

It won't be ......

Concubine De raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't believe that the death of the eldest princess was related to Mrs. Li.

After all, Mrs. Li has always behaved so gently and amiably, and she is all deferential and virtuous, how could she kill the eldest princess.

"Sister Li, it's me, do you remember me? I entered the palace in the same year as you. Concubine De sat sideways on the sandalwood bed covered with purple and red warm pads, and gently reached out to grab Mrs. Li, who was clutching the quilt of the same color as the warm pad, and her eyes were unfocused.

Mrs. Li's mouth kept muttering, her head shook slowly, her body trembled unconsciously, she shrank in fear in the innermost part of the bed, and the whole person nested in the corner of the bed, refusing to come out.

"It's me, look, we used to live in the same room, I really don't remember?" Concubine De smiled and looked at Mrs. Li with a sincere expression.

Mrs. Li raised her red eyes blankly, her eyes flashed with distrust, and she tilted her messy head suspiciously, looking at Concubine De.

Suddenly, she pointed to the back of the curtains in front of the bed in fear and screamed in panic.

"Ahh She's here again, she's there, hurry her away, hurry her away. She buried her head in her knees in fear and grabbed the quilt with both hands to cover her head.

Concubine De turned her head suspiciously, there was nothing behind the curtain, and even if there was that thing in broad daylight, he didn't dare to come out, so Concubine De was not afraid at all.

Oh no, there was a tall table there, and there was a cloisonné vase on it, and in the vase were a few large moon flowers, and from a distance it really looked like a person standing there.

"Oh, okay, I'll help you get rid of her."

Concubine De walked outside the door of the dormitory and asked Jinxiu to pass a few eunuchs to move the case away.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I've already driven her away, don't believe it, it's no longer there." Concubine De pulled the quilt in Mrs. Li's hand and motioned for Mrs. Li to stretch out her head to take a look.

Mrs. Li secretly stretched out half of her head, only quickly peeked at it, and then retracted it, and then slowly stretched her head out, looked left and right to make sure that there was no trace of the female ghost, and then stuck her head out.

The panicked look was gradually replaced by caution, she cautiously moved to Concubine De's side, and sat next to Concubine De, her original shrewd and keen eyes flashed with fear and helplessness.
