Sun Mingming suddenly felt a little disappointed, but he couldn't bear it and didn't show it, and comforted Concubine Zeng Li vigorously.

After coming out of Runzhi Palace, Sun Mingming returned to her residence.

These days, Princess Qinghua's illness seems to be worse, and she is bedridden all day.

As soon as Sun Mingming entered the courtyard, she smelled the smell of the decoction, and couldn't help frowning, the smell was almost boring to death, and no precious spices could cover it.

"If you're sick all day long, you're not blessed, so it's better to die early." Sun Mingming cursed quietly and walked back to her room.

The maid who stayed behind to watch the house saw her come back and hurriedly said, "The girl is back, the hot tea has just been brewed, take a sip!" Just now, Miss Xu's maid came over and said that their girl, please come and sit down. ”

"It's weird and tired, let's talk about it another day." Sun Mingming responded lazily, took off her coat and lay down on the bed to rest.

At dinner, the emperor came to the Runzhi Palace to eat, and these days, under the pleading of Zeng Wanshi, the emperor would go to the palace of the queen or other concubines every few days to sit down, and occasionally stay for dinner, but never overnight.

Now I haven't had dinner at Runzhi Palace for two days in a row.

Qu Qing held an umbrella with his own hands, and it snowed again at dusk, but the emperor's interest was very high, saying that he wanted to enjoy the snow with Concubine Li.

Qu Qing then ordered people to go to the imperial dining room, prepared a stove and a roast, and killed the venison and prepared the barbecue.

The emperor came to Runzhi Palace and never allowed anyone to report, and over time it became a rule.

It snowed again today, so there was no one in the courtyard, the emperor went to the eaves, changed the clogs, listened to the quietness inside, thought that Concubine Li was sleeping, so he signaled the people who followed not to make a noise and stay outside, and quietly lifted the curtain and came in.

Concubine Zeng Li's bedroom was indeed the only one in the bedroom, lying with her face inward, and the bed tent was not put down.

The emperor walked to her, and she suddenly realized that she hurriedly got up, although she tried hard to cover up, but she still let the emperor see the tears on her face.

"Aifei, what's wrong with you? What grievances have you suffered? How could the emperor see such a pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Concubine Zeng Li into his arms.

"The concubine was not wronged." Although Concubine Zeng Li said this, her tone was still choked, and the emperor was distressed.

"I'm crying like this, and I still say that I haven't been wronged, are you a three-year-old child?" The emperor picked up Concubine Zeng Li's face and asked against her forehead.

"Your Majesty, the concubines really haven't been wronged, I've been in the palace all day, and I've not gone anywhere, how can anyone give me grievances?" Concubine Zeng Li put away her tears and smiled like a spring flower.

The emperor should be the person who has seen the most smiling faces in the world, and almost everyone greeted him with a smile.

But the smiling faces of those people either hide fear or ambition, and only Zeng Wanshi's smile is as pure and flawless as a child.

"That's it, if you don't say it, it won't force you." The emperor said helplessly.

"The concubine is because she had a dream before, and she dreamed that she was kicked out of the palace." Concubine Zeng Li said that tears flowed down again.

"Fool, how can you be kicked out?" The emperor smiled lovingly, and took her back into his arms again: "You can't escape from the palm of my hand no matter what." ”

For dinner, the barbecue with bamboo shoot soup was ingenious by grilling the citrus peel on a charcoal fire, and the barbecue was dyed with a fruity aroma.

The barbecue must have wine, because the weather is cold, so the drink is ginger slices and rock sugar boiled Huadiao.

Zeng Wan's service was overwhelmed, and after only two drinks, she was drunk and begged to sleep, and under the persuasion of the emperor, she reluctantly drank another glass, and she was so drunk that she was unconscious.

After asking the palace maids to serve Concubine Zeng Li to sleep for a while, the emperor called the two palace maids with a serious face.

"I ask you two why Concubine Zeng Li is crying? Is there someone who embarrass her? "The emperor doesn't need to threaten, and no one dares to commit the crime of bullying the king.

"If you go back to the emperor, today's thing is like this." An older palace maid hurriedly said: "Princess Qinghua's companion Miss Sun came to greet Niangniang, and the two of them sat and gossiped, talking about the purse that Niangniang was wearing. Niangniang likes that purse very much, and the pattern of needlework and embroidery is also Niangniang's favorite camellia.

This is Miss Sun found that there was a thread in the purse, so she wanted to sew it for Niangniang, but she found that the mezzanine of the purse was filled with musk. ”

"Who made the purse?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, which made the people next to him suddenly tremble.

"If you go back to the emperor, it was done by Miss Wei Yiningwei, the companion of the county lord of Duanmin." The young palace maid swallowed and said.

"I have heard Concubine Li praise her many times about this person, saying that she is well-bred and smart." The emperor groaned: "Is she teaching Concubine Li to ride a horse?" ”

"Originally, it was taught, but a few days ago, I don't know why, Miss Wei offered not to teach." The palace maid said: "Niangniang didn't say anything. ”

"What did the mother say after discovering the musk?" The emperor was silent for a moment and asked.

"Niangniang, Niangniang was naturally shocked, but she didn't tell us to say it, and she didn't want to pursue it." The two palace maids said aggrievedly: "And repeatedly told us to keep it a secret." ”

The emperor let out a long sigh when he heard it, Zeng Wanshi was always like this, no matter what grievances he suffered, he didn't say anything. I don't add any trouble to myself, but think about myself everywhere.

"You two go down," the emperor waved his hand a little tiredly, "remember that when I am away, you must serve your mother well." ”

In the middle of the night, Concubine Zeng Li woke up and found that the emperor was still awake.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Insomnia again? Zeng Lifei's tone was concerned and anxious, and she was by no means pretending.

"I don't have insomnia," said the emperor, "I'm thinking about things." ”

"Then the emperor should also take care of himself, and leave what to deal with tomorrow." Concubine Zeng Li stretched out her hand and gently massaged the emperor's temples, and the nephrite was warm, and she was able to get rid of a flower of interpretation.

"I already know about the lotus bud, you don't have to blame those two palace maids." The emperor said: "Then Wei Yining was instructed by the queen to do such a thing?" Why else would she? ”

"Your Majesty," Concubine Zeng Li knelt up on the bed and begged: "Your Majesty, this matter will end here, the concubine doesn't want to pursue it." ”

"Why?" The emperor was puzzled: "Do you think that no one will harm you in the future?" ”

"All this is the concubine's own fault," Concubine Zeng Li said with tears: "The queen is the master and I am the servant, the master wants the slave to be born, and the slave is dead, there is nothing to be wronged." Who blames me for not being able to stop admiring the Holy One at the beginning, and did something that exceeded the norms, even if I finally ended up with a place without a place to be buried, I deserved it. What's more, there are many people involved in this, and the concubines can't share the worries of the emperor, so how can they disturb the harem! ”

"I won't let you say that!" The emperor shouted angrily: "What's wrong with you?!" I will definitely make decisions for you. ”
