Chapter Twenty-Five: One Lovesickness, Two Sorrows

In the more than half a month since Cai Xiaoxiao left, the emperor was a little unaccustomed to it.

A person with lunch and dinner looks very clean.

There are no brain-wrenching Q&As after the meal. The Qinzheng Hall was silent a lot.

However, the emperor is the emperor after all.

Although, the number of concubines in the emperor's harem is still far from the three thousand beauties in the harem. However, a few people can still get their hands on it, such as Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian.

Concubine Shu's Xunfang Palace, except for going to see his two sons, the emperor almost never went to Xunfang Palace.

Xunfang Palace has also been particularly quiet lately.

Concubine Xian, it's a good candidate. There is wisdom in stupidity.

During the queen's absence, the emperor often went to find Concubine Xian.

The emperor used lunch and dinner alone for three days in a row, which was not customary. So he asked Li Yue's father-in-law to inform Concubine Xian, saying that the emperor was going to Qinan Palace for lunch at noon.

There are some differences between the virtuous concubines, what is the situation? Didn't they all come for dinner before? Why do you suddenly remember to have lunch today? Concubine Xian didn't understand it very well in her heart, but she was secretly glad to be happy. Fortunately, Su Wanyue didn't make an appointment with Concubine Xian these days. Otherwise, you won't return home this night, and you will be caught by the emperor during the day.

Thinking about such a scene, Concubine Xian felt her scalp tingle and shivered.

Come on, Concubine Xian told Jing'er to prepare lunch well.

Jing'er is very happy, after all, her master is not a demon, and he is better than doing anything.

At noon, the emperor sat on the emperor's chariot and arrived at Qinan Palace, and Concubine Xian respectfully greeted the emperor at the door.

The emperor and Concubine Xian have always had nothing to say when they eat.

However, it is still better than eating alone.

After lunch, the emperor is leaving, and before leaving, he didn't forget to leave a sentence: "I will come for dinner in the evening." ”

Concubine Xian's heart trembled.

What is the situation, I have lunch and dinner. The palace is so much for a month, and I don't know how to bring my own food. It costs more than half a month's worth of silver for one visit. This dinner is still coming, and the next time is afraid that I can only drink the northwest wind.

What's the point? I can't sneak out of the palace at night to find Su Wanyue. This is what Concubine Xian is most anxious about.

The emperor went for several days in a row, and he didn't get tired of it.

It made Concubine Xian a little flattered.

After all, in the past, I only went once a month, but now the number of times in this half month adds up to the sum of a year.

For a while, the harem was whispering, saying that Concubine Shu was really unfavored this time. Even this virtuous concubine who has not bloomed for 10,000 years has been favored.

It seems that the emperor deliberately wants to snub Concubine Shu.

For dinner this day, Concubine Xian finally couldn't help it. Weakly asked, "Your Majesty, you won't come tomorrow, right?" ”

Concubine Xian asked such a clumsy question, and the emperor naturally knew what it meant, "Of course I will come tomorrow." ”

When Concubine Xian heard this, she really wanted to slap the table hard, what the hell.

"Your Majesty, you see that the concubines are not rich in the palace. You have been here for such a day, but you have used up all the money you have saved in the palace for so many years of frugality. If the emperor comes back tomorrow, the concubines are afraid that they will not be able to bring out any decent food to entertain the emperor. Concubine Xian could only say honestly and aggrievedly.

"Really? It seems that I have snubbed Concubine Xian over the years. The emperor said in a tone of Cai Xiao.

What did the emperor say about this, didn't he say it back then? Do you want to regret it now? This sentence made Concubine Xian nervous unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, you don't call it a snub to the concubines, the concubines entered the palace back then, but there were three chapters of the law with the emperor, and the emperor doesn't count." Concubine Xian explained vigorously.

"Oh. Also! Since this is the case, then I will instruct Father-in-law Li Yue to allocate some of my food expenses tomorrow to this Qinan Palace. Concubine Xian looks good at this? "The emperor is deliberately provoking Concubine Xian.

Also, on weekdays, it is Cai Xiaoxiao who provokes the emperor in various ways, but now Cai Xiaoxiao is gone. The emperor is not used to it, so he naturally wants to find someone to provoke and vent his inner dissatisfaction.

This is a persimmon after all, it is still necessary to pick a soft and good pinch.

Concubine Xian is unfortunate to be the object of you.

Concubine Xian was a little speechless when she heard the emperor's words, picked up the bowl, and ate hard with a stuffy head. The eyes can almost fry the rice grains into popcorn.

The emperor looked at such a virtuous concubine, and his heart was much more balanced.

At night, Concubine Xian naturally could only sleep on the floor, and after sleeping for many days in a row, Concubine Xian had some backache.

But there is no way, who made him the emperor?

The emperor looked like he had come to Qinan Palace for so many days, and Jing'er looked at Concubine Xian with a helpless expression. I'm glad to be alone.

This is called one thing descending from one thing.

The master is a demon, and the slave suffers.

This emperor is a demon, and it is good to let Concubine Xian also experience this feeling.

Concubine Xian also found that Jing'er was in a very good mood recently, so she asked Jing'er, "Jing'er, this emperor comes every day, and the palace will be annoyed to death." But why is this palace so happy to see you? ”

"Niangniang, the slave is naturally happy. After all, my master is now favored, and the whole harem is very red-eyed. ”

"Whoever takes this favor is rare, and this palace is not rare. Alas, no. Jing'er, you know why this palace entered the palace, you can honestly explain it to this palace. ”

"The emperor comes every day, are you in a bad mood? After suffering from the cold eyes in this palace for so many years, now he has finally survived. Jing'er pretended to be serious and said.

"Head, you ghosts. Do you look at Hongu as if you're in a good mood? ”

"Jing'er doesn't look like it."

"This palace is not happy, so why are you so happy?"

"Niangniang, you think, this emperor is here, you can only be in the palace. This slave doesn't have to be frightened, this mood is naturally much better. ”

Concubine Xian glared at Jing'er, "Dead girl, your master is suffering here, you are quite happy." ”

"Niangniang, do you think the emperor has been a little abnormal recently?"

"It's not just abnormal, it's just perverted. Jing'er, you think of a way for the palace, how can you keep the emperor from coming to Qinan Palace. ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid asks you not to leave the palace on weekdays, you can listen to the slave maid's persuasion."

"Nope."

"That's right. The master of the slave is Niangniang, and the master of Niangniang is the emperor. How can a master listen to a slave or a maid? Jing'er's sentence is good.

Concubine Xian was speechless for a while.

Forget it, the emperor is just a whim, and if he loses interest that day, he will naturally not come to Qinan Palace.

Let's take it slowly.

Concubine Xian was still unwilling in her heart and wanted to go to the queen.

After all, the queen is also the benefactor of Concubine Xian, and according to the queen's character, she should help Concubine Xian.

So, Concubine Xian instructed Jing'er to prepare some pastries and go to the Zhaixiu Palace to visit the queen.

The two arrived at the Zhaixiu Palace and knocked on the door for a while before Fan Er came to open the door. Seeing that it was Concubine Xian, Fan Er saluted Concubine Xian very politely.

Then, Concubine Xian explained her intentions.

At this time, there was no one else in the Zhaixiu Palace except for the fan. Fan Er naturally wanted to refuse the kindness of Concubine Xian to visit.

"Concubine Xian, my mother has been sick for a long time. In order to let the queen recuperate, the emperor ordered that the mother must be allowed to recuperate, and no one should visit. I also hope that Concubine Xian Niangniang understands. ”

"In that case, the palace is not good to disturb the queen. When the queen's illness is better, the palace will come to visit the mother again. ”

Concubine Xian didn't even have the last straw this time, and returned to Qinan Palace very reluctantly.

The emperor is in Qinan Palace, after dinner.

Concubine Xian was still unhappy, and the emperor took the initiative to ask Concubine Xian, "If Concubine Xian takes me out of the palace, I won't come to Qinan Palace tomorrow." ”

When Concubine Xian heard this, her whole person was energized. However, the conditions still have to be negotiated, so as not to be unclear when they are obtained.

"Isn't the emperor cheating?"

"I am the king of a country, and it is difficult to chase after a horse. What is there to deceive the virtuous concubine? ”

Concubine Xian thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

Since the emperor asked so, he must also have the evidence. Since the emperor did not embarrass the virtuous concubine, it also shows that the emperor's attitude towards this matter is to turn a blind eye.

"Good. Then the emperor should go back to the Qinzheng Palace to change his clothes first. We'll go back when it's dark. ”

"Okay."

Concubine Xian has not been out of the palace for more than ten days, and she is forced by the emperor to read every night, which is really hard.

After dark, Concubine Xian took the emperor to prepare to drill the dog hole and leave the palace.

The emperor looked disgusted, "I am the son of heaven, how can I drill a dog hole." ”

Concubine Xian was speechless, "Then does the emperor have a better way out of the palace?" ”

"Come with me."

Concubine Xian was suspicious, followed the emperor until the palace gate.

"The palace gate has been closed, isn't the emperor going out of the palace gate with a swagger?"

"That's nature."

Concubine Xian thought to herself, it is really the emperor, she can do whatever she wants, and she will not die anyway.

The emperor took the virtuous concubine and swaggered out of the palace.

Out of the palace, the emperor said, "Now that I have left the palace, the next thing is to lead the way." ”

Concubine Xian took the emperor through the downtown area, and there were many things in the downtown that the emperor had never seen.

However, after all, he is the emperor, so he still has to pretend and look at it.

Gao Leng Fan, the royal majesty is still there.

Concubine Xian was also bold, and finally brought the emperor to Yanyu Tower.

After all, the last time Concubine Xian met Su Wanyue, Su Wanyue made it clear that she would rather cooperate with the emperor than with Lord Shui.

Since the emperor wants Concubine Xian to lead the way, how could Concubine Xian miss such a good opportunity.

The two arrived at the Yanyu Building. On weekdays, Concubine Xian is not particular, where is it convenient to sit there.

But today is different, the emperor is here, so he naturally wants to choose a good position.

The good location is naturally on the second floor, and Concubine Xian took the emperor to the second floor.

The emperor was also the first time to Yanyu Tower, and he was quite curious, so he followed Concubine Xian to watch while walking.

On the second floor, Concubine Xian was looking for a place.

However, the emperor seems to have seen a good position.

Sure enough, it is a king, even if he arrives in the Qinglou, he has to sit in the honorable position.

Concubine Xian followed behind the emperor, and the emperor lifted the curtain, and there was already a person sitting in the curtain, who looked back. I almost didn't drop the glass on the ground. Quickly stood up and did not speak. But he bent down very respectfully, bowed his head, and gave way to his position.

This is the exclusive seat of the prince, and naturally this person is also the prince.

It's just that I never dreamed that the royal brother who was so calm and serious in my mind would actually appear in Yanyu Tower.

It was simply stunned and the Prince.

The emperor walked in and sat in the position just now. Concubine Xian naturally wants to follow up.

He sat on the left side of the emperor with the prince, and Concubine Xian sat on the right.

At this time, he found out that the emperor was followed by Concubine Xian.

This picture is simply so beautiful, it simply makes Prince He dumbfounded again.

Prince He originally thought that the emperor was followed by an escort, but he didn't expect it to be a virtuous concubine.

But Prince He knows that Concubine Xian is not favored, which one is the emperor singing now? And the prince is a little confused.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Gong Qin of women's clothing came. He lifted the curtain and saw the emperor. At that moment, Gong Qin had a feeling of wanting to die.

Prince He hurriedly stood up and walked to the side of Gong Qin, "You just come with me, my son has a distinguished guest today." He Prince and the prince walked out while pulling the corner of Gong's clothes.

It is rare for someone to relieve the siege for him, so Gong Qin naturally wants to go out with the prince.

The two walked to a relatively uninhabited place, and Gong Qin was simply stunned, forgetting that she was a woman who couldn't speak in Yanyu Building.

"Why is the emperor here today?"

"This king doesn't know? This king was stunned just now. ”

"Who is the person opposite the prince? Is it a guard? ”

"Guards? This king also thinks yes? You can't even guess who? He said pretending to be mysterious.

"Who? It can't be a virtuous concubine, right? ”

It seems that the matter of Concubine Xian pretending to be a man, Lord Gong has already seen it.

"Master Gong, it's really amazing. This king admires. ”

Although Gong Qin guessed it, he was still a little dumbfounded after being confirmed.

"Master Gong, do you think that our emperor is still very different, and take Concubine Xian to visit the Qinglou. This king didn't take his own princess to do this, and the royal brother actually did. Alas! If the royal brother hadn't been born with a mission, I'm afraid that this king would have to bear it. ”

"Why doesn't Xia Guan know that he is married to the prince!"

"Alas! Don't talk about it, it's almost over, it's time for this king to go back. ”

He and the prince hurried all the way back to the seat.

"Why did my brother come to Yanyu Building today?" Prince He also seems to know very well that this cannot reveal the identity of the emperor outside.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian, "This brother brought his brother here." ”

The emperor's handsome pot is really worthy of being the emperor.

Concubine Xian almost didn't spit out the tea she had just drunk in her mouth.

He Prince showed an intriguing expression, muttering in his heart that it was really a virtuous concubine, otherwise the imperial brother would not go out of the second door all day long, and the gate would not step. is more disciplined than this girl who has not been out of the cabinet, how can she know a place like Yanyu Building. It seems that I really underestimate the courage of the virtuous concubine, enough for the gentlemen.

The three of them just sat there awkwardly, watching the performance on stage.

After all, where there is an emperor, there is embarrassment.

At this time, someone lifted the curtain from outside, and Concubine Xian looked back, it was none other than Su Wanyue.

This Su Wanyue is indeed smart. The people who can make the prince abdicate the throne, except for the current emperor, it is estimated that there is no one in the world.

Su Wanyue gracefully walked into the curtain and saluted. With a smile on his face, he said, "I wonder if a few sons can let the little girl sit here?" ”

At the four-sided table, the other three honorable seats were already occupied. Now there is only one place left at the bottom. However, compared with the identities of these three, it is also very suitable for Su Wanyue to sit in this position.

The emperor glanced at Su Wanyue and nodded.

Now there are a few people here, and only the emperor nods to count.

Su Wanyue walked to the position and sat down, "A few of them are all distinguished guests of Yanyu Building, the little girl has a lot of trouble, please forgive me." ”

Su Wanyue's words have a lot of information. First of all, he showed that he was a person from this smoke and rain building, and secondly, he also apologized for his active visit.

Since he said so, the emperor probably knew. This woman is not simple, she must have guessed his identity as the emperor, but she didn't say anything. Dare to come forward, it seems that there is some courage.

Since Su Wanyue entered this curtain, the eyes in this smoke and rain building have also been turned to this side. It can be seen that this woman is not ordinary, and she should be the Oiran of this Yanyu Building.

These emperors also saw it.

Concubine Xian and Su Wanyue have also known each other for 7 or 8 years, and today this Su Wanyue looks so humble, and Concubine Xian is the first time to see it.

"It doesn't matter." The emperor didn't say a word.

For the first time, this smoke and rain building made Prince He feel uncomfortable and panicked.

"Little girl, look at the son, it should be the first time to come to Yanyu Building."

The emperor nodded slightly, "This is the first time that my son has come to this Yanyu Building, I wonder if the girl can give me an introduction?" ”

"If the son doesn't dislike it, the little girl is very willing to introduce the child."

Next, Su Wanyue began to introduce the Yanyu Building, including the history, glory and so on.

In the process of speaking, Su Wanyue has been carefully observing the emperor, and the emperor is also observing Su Wanyue.

After a brief introduction to Yanyu Building, Su Wanyue found a reason not to disturb her son's enjoyment of the show, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say a word to Concubine Xian, "This little girl looks familiar." ”

Then he smiled and walked gracefully out of his seat.

Hearing this, Concubine Xian was in a cold sweat, and the prince snickered in his heart.

After Su Wanyue left, she and the prince began to gossip, "Brother, I think this girl seems to be very interesting to my brother." ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean? ”

How do you explain this? Fengyue's matter is still a little difficult to talk about in front of his brother.

The emperor and Concubine Xian sat for a while, and then left the Yanyu Building.

On the way back to the palace, the emperor asked Concubine Xian, "Does Concubine Xian know this girl?" ”

Concubine Xian knew that Su Wanyue's last sentence had exposed Concubine Xian's identity, and it also explained the relationship between Concubine Xian and Su Wanyue.

How smart the emperor is, you can see it at a glance.

Without such wisdom, I'm afraid that I will be fooled by the little golden man-like acting skills of the imperial court, and what kind of Mingjun will talk about.

Su Wanyue's last sentence made Concubine Xian sure that what Su Wanyue said that day was true.

Since this is the case, Concubine Xian also let go of her heart and told the emperor the truth about herself and Su Wanyue.

Of course, about Su Wanyue's life experience, as well as the matter of Lord Shui, Concubine Xian did not tell the emperor.

After all, this matter still has to be done, and Su Wanyue's consent is required.

Su Wanyue's words just now are just to show her identity, she looks familiar, but she doesn't know it.

Therefore, Concubine Xian could only tell the emperor about the matter between Concubine Xian and Su Wanyue. As for Su Wanyue's life experience, she can't say it until Su Wanyue is familiar with it.

After hearing this, the emperor actually had some praise for this woman.

The emperor also understood that Concubine Xian still had nothing to say, but the emperor did not force Concubine Xian.

When the time comes, Concubine Xian will naturally say. Otherwise, Concubine Xian wouldn't either, only half of it.

The emperor is a smart person, so naturally he won't ask too much.

After that, the emperor really didn't go to Qinan Palace again.
