Chapter 316: Competing for Favor
Concubine Shu was angry, and when she saw that she was about to fall into a slap, the palace maids around her hurriedly stood up to stop her.
"Master, this happened suddenly, and the slaves and maids were not prepared."
Shu Concubine put down her hand, gritted her teeth, and turned around and went to the room.
The palace maid couldn't help it anymore, fell to the ground and choked, and the palace maid opened her mouth to persuade: "The master is angry, you bear with it, I will persuade the master, you go back to rest." ”
Qinghui Hall was in a lot of trouble, and after a while, Lu Chaoge came to the hall with Hong Yushun.
looked around and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, but this place has changed." ”
The garden has been renovated and is lush to look at.
Lu Chaoge pointed to the swing tied to the flower bed and said, "When I came, there was no swing frame in this place. ”
"The emperor hasn't been here for a long time, and the ladies are bored on weekdays, and it's common for them to have some fun by themselves."
Lu Chaoge nodded and said, "There are still two pots of bluegrass in the front hall, since Concubine Min likes these things, let's move those two pots of bluegrass." ”
"Yes!" The flood rain followed.
Concubine Min came out with the palace maid, dressed up deliberately, and the whole person shined.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have been waiting for you for a long time."
Hong Yushun stepped aside very wisely, and Lu Chaoge stepped forward with a smile: "Aren't I here?" ”
"The emperor is coming with the concubines, the dinner has already been prepared, and the concubines have carefully prepared it." Concubine Min was so excited that she stretched out her hand and climbed onto Lu Chaoge's arm.
Lu Chaoge stood still, with a playful look in his eyes, and Concubine Min reacted at this time, and hurriedly let go of her hand, and her face turned even redder.
"The Emperor...... The Emperor ......"
"Let's go, go and taste the delicacies that Concubine Ai said." Lu Chaoge stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulders and strode into the hall.
On the other side, Shu Concubine by the window looked at this scene, and her eyes were about to erupt with fire.
"Originally, it was supposed to be my bedtime, but she was asked to take the lead, but now I don't know what means I used, I actually made the emperor change her temperament, she has no talent and no appearance, why should she please the emperor?" Shu Concubine secretly used force in her hand, and actually tore a handkerchief.
The maidservant was afraid that she would hurt herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said bitterly: "The master is two years younger than Concubine Min, and now he is at the age of a flower and jade, and he is full of talent, why not worry about the sacred heart?" Time is still long, and the master should not be in a hurry! ”
"I just can't swallow that!" Concubine Shu sat back on the couch, her eyes gloomy.
Why does she have to spend her time in the palace like this?
His eyes fell on the lute beside him, and he suddenly had an idea, and commanded, "Go and wipe my lupa." ”
"Does the master want to play the lute? The emperor is in the main hall tonight, I'm afraid it's inappropriate......"
Concubine Shu glanced at her lightly: "What's wrong, it's good that the emperor is here!" ”
Main hall.
The table is full of food, the style is exquisite, all of them are sweet dishes, Gu Siran loves sweetness, since she left, Lu Chaoge has changed her taste, and over time she has become accustomed to eating sweet.
Rao is like this, now that he sees this table full of dishes, he is still a little angry, his face is not obvious, and he still said with a pleasant face: "Concubine Ai understands my preferences." ”
"The concubine wants the emperor to be happy, these dishes are all known to the father-in-law who asked the imperial dining room, and they are all loved by the emperor." Concubine Min's eyes were full of joy, it seems that this effort was not done in vain, the emperor really likes it.
Lu Chaoge played with the jade pendant in his hand and said lightly: "It turned out to be the minions in the imperial dining room." ”
"The emperor should use it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." Concubine Min didn't notice the dislike on Lu Chaoge's face, and invited Lu Chaoge to sit down very politely.
Lu Chaoge sat down at the square table, and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to set up a meal.
As soon as Lu Chaoge picked up the chopsticks and clamped a lotus root box, Concubine Min's chopsticks were handed over again.
"The emperor tasted this pine nut osmanthus fish, and I heard the palace maids say that this dish is quite cumbersome to make."
"Concubine Min, you don't eat or sleep." Lu Chaoge put down his chopsticks and glanced at Concubine Min.
Concubine Min's chopsticks were still hanging in the air, and when she heard this, she was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly retracted her hand and said with a dry smile: "What the emperor said is that the concubine has written it down." ”
For a while, the atmosphere became a little gloomy, and there was a sudden sound of pipa outside the hall.
Concubine Min's face changed suddenly, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to attack because of Lu Chaoge's reprimand, and she forcibly used a bowl of rice in her heart.
Lu Chaoge also finished dinner and was picking up the teacup to rinse her mouth, Concubine Min finally couldn't help it, and said to Lu Cui: "You go outside and take a look." ”
Lu Cui was about to retreat, Lu Chaoge suddenly asked, "Who is playing the pipa outside?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's Shu Concubine in the side hall."
Lu Chaoge still has some impressions of Shu Concubine, because when she entered the palace, it also happened to be the day when Gu Siran entered the palace, and for this Shu Concubine, Siran also had a taste with him.
Lu Chaoge chuckled lightly and said lightly: "It's a wonderful person." ”
Concubine Min's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, Concubine Shu's sister and the concubine get along very well on weekdays, and the concubine once asked her to teach her this pipa skill, but the concubine is stupid and can't learn it well." ”
Stupidity is real, but it is not necessarily possible to get along very well. 117
Lu Chaoge didn't break it down, and said with a smile: "I just ate too much, why don't I go out for a walk, and I can eliminate my food." ”
Wouldn't going out to eat give Concubine Shu a chance? Concubine Min rolled her eyes, came up with a plan, covered her stomach and fell on the bed, and screamed.
"Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the emperor to eat together."
"Go and call the Imperial Doctor." Lu Chaoge lay down on the soft couch very calmly, eating was just talking, she was so incompatible with Concubine Shu, what to do next, she also knew in her heart.
The sound of the pipa did not stop, and Concubine Shu tried her best to wait for the emperor, but waited for the imperial doctor.
Seeing the imperial doctor hurriedly enter the main hall, he gritted his teeth, and finally gave up.
"Master, let's go back!"
"Concubine Min, you and I will come to Japan for a long time!" Shu Concubine hated to make a sound, put down the pipa in her hand, and turned around and went back to the room.
Sleepless.
Early in the morning, Hong Yushun reminded Lu Chaoge outside the hall, and Concubine Min was also called, looking at the emperor beside her with a red face.
Lu Chaoge's skin is very good, this kind of appearance is superior even if it is placed in the folk, Concubine Min is obsessed with it, and she struggles to open her eyes on Lu Chaoge.
"What is Concubine Ai staring at me like this?" Lu Chaoge chuckled.
Concubine Min hurriedly sat up straight and said angrily: "The emperor is used to making fun of his concubines. ”
After that, he started to put on the court clothes for Lu Chaoge, Lu Chaoge's body did not move, she put on her underwear for herself, and a palace maid walked in from outside the hall with a basin of water.
Lu Chaoge washed up, turned to look at Concubine Min, and said in a loud voice: "I will go to the morning court, and Concubine Ai will rest for a while." ”
"The concubine sends the emperor." Concubine Min watched Lu Chaoge walk out of the dormitory.
Outside the palace, Hong Yushun greeted him and said with a smile: "Did the emperor sleep well last night?" ”
"Naturally, if the mother asks about it, do you know what to say?" Lu Chaoge glanced at him.
Hong Yushun was a spirit, and he was busy responding: "The slave is provincial, the slave is provincial." ”
The door of the side hall was pushed open, and when she saw Lu Chaoge walking towards this side, Concubine Shu made a stunned look and hurriedly knelt down.
"The concubine deserves to die, and please ask the emperor to atone for his sins!"
Lu Chaoge stopped and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, with a playful look in his eyes.
"Are you Concubine Shu?"
Concubine Shu was overjoyed: "The emperor still remembers the concubine?" ”
"When did you move to Qinghui Palace? I remember that you used to live in Jixi Palace. Lu Chaoge narrowed his eyes slightly.
I never thought that the emperor still remembered where she used to live, and Concubine Shu became bold when she heard this, raised her eyes to look at Lu Chaoge, and said timidly: "The concubine did live in Jixi Palace originally, but Jixi Palace is located in a remote area, and Concubine Min's sister also lives in Qinghui Hall alone, and the Queen Mother wants to let our sisters take care of each other, so that the concubine moves to Qinghui Palace." ”
Lu Chaoge nodded lightly, and asked again: "You played the pipa last night?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's a concubine."
"It's a good one." Lu Chaoge turned around and walked out of the Qinghui Palace.
Concubine Shu was stunned, and when Lu Chaoge's figure disappeared outside the hall, she stood up and asked the palace maid beside her, "The emperor praised me for playing the pipa well?" ”
"Yes." The maidservant was also a little excited, looking at the emperor's appearance, I was afraid that she still remembered her master, even so, the grace of the coming day is always indispensable.
Main hall.
Lu Cui tied her hair in a bun for Concubine Min, and a palace maid walked in and replied: "Niangniang, when the emperor left, I saw Concubine Shu. ”
"Concubine Shu? What kind of moth does that slut have? Concubine Min frowned.
The palace maid glanced at Lu Cui, Lu Cui nodded lightly, and the palace maid then spoke up: "When the emperor walked out of the main hall, he happened to meet Shu Concubine and opened the door of the side hall, and the two looked at each other, and the emperor also praised Shu Concubine's pipa playing." ”
"Slut!" Concubine Min threw away the porcelain cup at hand and scolded angrily: "She obviously intended it, she wanted to please the emperor with the pipa last night, but she couldn't do it, and now she came up with this plan, she just can't see the favor of the palace!" ”
"Niangniang, you also know Concubine Shu's temperament, she is used to this, why do you have to meet her in general, I think that the emperor stayed with us last night, she was so angry that she came up with such a method!" Lucui persuaded loudly.
Concubine Min was uneasy in the end: "The emperor can come, it is because of the face of the queen mother, the palace is so easy to ask for the opportunity, why is it cheap to that slut!" ”
With that, he got up and broke out.
Concubine Shu was leaning on the edge of the couch and fiddling with the pipa, only to hear a chaotic sound outside the hall, and before she could react, Concubine Min pushed away the two palace maids waiting outside the house and broke in angrily.
Concubine Shu was taken aback by her posture, and got up to greet her: "Sister, what are you doing?" ”
Concubine Min didn't say a word, raised her hand and gave Shu Concubine a slap, Shu Concubine fell to the edge of the couch, and her fair face was covered with palm prints in an instant.
When did Concubine Shu suffer such humiliation, tears welled up in her eyes, and she covered her face and looked at Concubine Min.
"Sister, what are you doing? What did my sister do wrong and make my sister angry? ”
"What you have done, you know in your own heart!" Concubine Min only felt a bad breath.
The palace maids hurriedly rushed up and protected in front of Concubine Shu.
