143: Hibiscus Beauty

Hearing this, the palace maid knelt and turned around, kowtowing to the emperor to thank her, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down." ”

The palace maid got up and was about to leave, just passing by the emperor's side, just took two steps towards the door, the emperor's sharp apricot eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and hurriedly called the palace maid, "Stop." ”

The palace maid hurriedly stopped again, turned around, bowed and asked, "What else does the emperor command?" ”

The emperor walked slowly towards him, walked up to the palace maid and commanded in a cold voice, "Raise your head." ”

The palace maid still kept her head down.

The emperor was a little surprised, so he ordered loudly and coldly, "I order you to raise your head." ”

The Queen Mother sat on the bed and pointed at the palace maid with her right hand tremblingly and scolded, "The emperor told you to raise your head, are you deaf?" ”

The palace maid slowly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, but Long Yan could not be seen directly by a cheap slave like her, and under timidity, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Just when she withdrew her eyes and was about to lower her head, the slender and white index finger of the emperor's right hand had reached the palace maid's chin, raised the palace maid's face slightly, and forced her to look directly at herself.

The emperor's indifferent face was filled with a trace of tenderness in his eyes, which she had never seen before.

The palace maid had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak, so she had to look at the emperor so timidly, like a mouse being firmly pressed under the paws of a cat, even if she was worried in her heart, she didn't dare to act rashly.

The emperor stared at her for a long time, and then spread his hand and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid was busy kneeling on the ground to answer, but was grabbed by the emperor, "I allow you to stand and reply." ”

The palace maid looked at the emperor in surprise with a half-squatting body, and the timidity in her smart eyes made people feel pity, and she slowly stood up straight, folded her hands in front of her, and replied, "Back to the emperor, the slave's name is Qu Ruizhi." ”

"Qu Ruizhi ......" the emperor read the name and reminisced.

The Queen Mother asked behind her, "Emperor, what's wrong?" ”

The emperor waved his hand at the palace maid, and Qu Ruizhi retreated in amusement.

Lin Shi turned around and walked towards the queen mother's bedside, "It's okay, Erchen just thinks that this palace maid looks very much like a person." ”

"Oh? Who does the emperor think she looks like? The Queen Mother asked pretending to be surprised.

"The queen mother doesn't think she is particularly like ......" The emperor said to his lips and swallowed it alive.

"Huh? Like whom? Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, the Queen Mother asked.

"It's okay, maybe I'm gone, there are still important things to deal with in the imperial study of Erchen, so Erchen will go back first, and you will rest first." The emperor got up and prepared to leave.

"Okay, then you go and get busy, this palace is also a little tired." The Queen Mother said and lay back on the bed.

The emperor walked out of the queen mother's dormitory, and when he walked into the courtyard, Qu Ruizhi was holding scissors to build the flower branches in the courtyard for the queen mother, and the emperor stood in place and watched for a while.

Pink makeup, elegant manners, bright eyes and bright teeth, thin figure, every word and deed is like the person in memory.

The emperor stood in place and couldn't help but sigh, "Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant." ”

Gonggong Mo, who was beside him, understood the emperor's thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "Does the emperor need to call this palace maid to the Summer Palace?" ”

The emperor glanced at Gonggong Mo indifferently, and Gonggong Mo was silent.

"Mouthy."

The emperor only threw these two words, and then walked towards the gate of Yikun Palace.

戌時, in the Summer Palace

The emperor had just finished dinner, and was taking the hot towel handed over by the little eunuch who was serving beside him, and Gonggong Mo came over with the bed card and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, will you sleep tonight?" ”

The emperor handed the towel back to the little eunuch and didn't even look at the bedding card, so he asked, "Is there a letter from Wangchun Pavilion?" Is Concubine Jing in a better mood now? I stayed in Yikun Palace for too long today, and I couldn't go to Wangchun Pavilion. ”

"Back to the emperor, the servant sent someone to ask, Concubine Jing's mood has improved a lot, but she may not sleep tonight, she is talking about poor health."

As soon as the emperor came back from Yikun Palace, Gonggong Mo sent a little eunuch to inquire about Concubine Jing's situation, although the emperor did not go, but he knew that the emperor was concerned about Concubine Jing's mother.

It's said that he was not in good health, but he was just not in the mood to sleep.

The emperor said unexpectedly, "It's because I'm not in the mood, and I don't want to force her." You ordered someone to pick up some fun objects and send them to Wangchun Pavilion to make Jing Concubine happy, she used to be the most fond of these strange gadgets, I can't go today, it's good to have something to make her happy for me. ”

A trace of regret flashed on the emperor's serious face.

"Yes, the slave will do it later, then the emperor, will you still be in bed today?"

Grandpa Mo asked cautiously, his eyes as if he deliberately glanced at the bedding card on his plate.

The emperor looked for him and looked at the bedman.

In addition to a few familiar concubines on the plate, there was also an unfamiliar bedding card, Qu Ruizhi.

The emperor picked up Qu Ruizhi's bedchamber card and looked at Grandpa Mo, "What does this mean?" ”

There was a trace of anger hidden in his eyes, and Gonggong Mo instantly felt like falling into a cold pool, and his neck felt cold.

Gonggong Mo held the plate of the sleeping card, and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake, "The slave knows that he is wrong, and the slave makes his own opinion, and asks the emperor to punish him." ”

He clearly didn't understand the emperor's eyes before, but the angry expression on the emperor's face at the moment was also not wrong, and Gonggong Mo began to doubt himself.

The emperor threw the bed card engraved with Qu Ruizhi back on the plate, got up and said angrily, "I won't sleep tonight." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Mo hurriedly got up with the sleeping card and replied, "Yes, the slave will go and reply." ”

When Gonggong Mo turned around with the sleeping card and was about to walk out, he was stopped by the emperor from behind, "Wait a minute." ”

Gonggong Mo turned around suspiciously and looked at the emperor, waiting for further instructions from the emperor.

I saw that the emperor was a little embarrassed but pretended to be calm and said, "Just Qu Ruizhi." ”

"Huh?" As soon as Gonggong Mo said this word, he immediately suddenly bent down and said, "Yes, the slave will order someone to prepare." ”

Turning around, he happily went out with the bedtime card.

He has stayed by the emperor's side for so many years, and he really did not misunderstand it, and the holy will was right.

About an hour later, Gonggong Mo bathed Qu Ruizhi in incense and carried it to the emperor's bedroom by his grandmother wrapped in a quilt.

The emperor was wearing a pale yellow lining, sitting at the table and reading a book.

After Gonggong Mo led someone to carry Qu Ruizhi to the emperor's dragon couch and put it away, he retreated out of the dormitory.

After Qu Ruizhi finished bathing, her hair was scattered on the neck pillow, and because she had just finished bathing, her face was simply powdered by her grandmother, and her white was red, looking like a freshly ripe apple.

The quilt did not completely wrap the body, and the slender and white shoulders leaked out, looking extremely attractive.
