Chapter Twenty-Four: Life in Confinement

(Girls' Literature)

After that night. There is another concubine in the palace who was confined for making the emperor angry. In the eyes of most people. A woman who was imprisoned by the emperor as soon as she was canonized. The end will definitely only be a fall from grace. Just like the way Han Xiao looked at me now.

"It's not easy for you to get this concubine. Now I am newly married and confined again. You say how you can gain his trust in the future. Han Xiao preached from morning to evening. But I wasn't worried. The more she was like this, the more laid-back I looked. After playing countless games of chess. I finally threw down the last sunspot in the bowl with great interest. Just listen to the sound of "knock". The piece made a few spins on the board. And he stopped.

Miss Han said all day. Girls' literature must have a dry mouth. It's better to drink saliva before continuing. I can't run away anyway. "I sat back on the couch. He looked at her with a smile. His eyes were cold.

I think I've known her for a long time. But her temperament is something I know very well now. I'm so ashamed. I thought to myself. He also ordered dinner to be served. Greet Ye Yao. Ordered her to sit down and finish all the dishes on the table.

Ye Yao is controlled by them. But her physique is still an ordinary person after all. If you don't have it. You will starve to death in a few days. I watched Ye Yao eat very slowly. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. He took a handkerchief and wiped the greasy oil that fell on her lips.

"You're very nice to her." I looked up at Han Xiao. She looked at me too. Then he tilted his head away.

"That's what you were treated like that. It's just that you don't cherish it yourself. "Although she has changed her appearance. But there is still the shadow of the past between the eyebrows. I think I was so close to her back then. Now it has come to an end. It's ridiculous.

After dinner. So I let the night go down to rest. There was only Han Xiao left beside him. I watched as she refused to leave. He said angrily: "Do you have to watch it when I sleep." ”

β€œγ€‚β€ She reminded me. Then he took a note from his sleeve and put it in front of me.

I took it in my hand and looked at it. The font on it is by Zhang Qian. And the content is nothing more than what Han Xiao said. I'll take a cursory glance. returned the note to Han Xiao. Said: "Show me what this does." ”

Han Xiao didn't speak. He took another thing and put it in front of me. "I think you should remember what Mr. said." Now the half-month deadline is approaching. If the night girl has no cureβ€”" she said no further. But the meaning is already clear.

"Are you threatening me?" I scoffed. Reaching out, he slammed the teacup on the ground: "You should be clear. You have not commanded my capital before me. ”

"That's what Miss said. But you can't bear to see the night girl suffer. ”

This sentence poked at my weakness. That's my business. It was an accident to get Ye Yao involved. How could I let her suffer such a grievance again.

I pondered for a moment. I had to reluctantly promise that I would find a way to make Xiao Ziling favor me again. and asked her to give the antidote to Yeyao on time. Otherwise, they won't get anything.

Han Xiao finally agreed to my request. She promised me that she would not truthfully report the situation here to Zhang Qian for the time being. But I want to get Xiao Ziling's favor as soon as possible.

。 Xiao Ziling is not an easy person to compromise. The only way to do this is to rely on the help of the queen. I wrote a letter of repentance. Send someone to pass it on to the Empress. Probably seeing my sincerity. Within a few days, the decree of lifting the ban came. I sat in front of the Queen. While listening to her step-by-step teachings. He kept wringing the handkerchief in his hand with his hand. When the veil has been ravaged by my hand. Her voice stopped.

"Yuanyuan. You are now the emperor's concubine. Hongu doesn't matter what your previous life was. Now that you have entered the palace, you can no longer act recklessly. Don't be angry with children. Got it. The Queen's words were like a gust of wind. Jumped in from my ear. And then come out from the other side.

。 Pretending to be a little daughter, she opened the topic mentally: "Sister." The emperor doesn't like me at all. Whatever I do. It's all wrong in his eyes. "Finished. He also covered his face with a handkerchief and began to cry.

The Queen's hand slapped me on the back a few times. "It's not your fault," she said. Ever since the slut died. The emperor will always look for a woman who is similar to that slut. Even despite the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China. insisted on marrying the concubine who was born in the Qinglou. If it weren't for the joint letter signed by the ministers later. There won't be any of these drafts. The queen said with a sigh. The hatred in her eyes was palpable. The hand that was on my back unconsciously used some force.

I covered my face with a handkerchief. What was once invincible will also be there today. If one day she knew that the good sister she was dedicated to helping was the slut she hated to the core. What a wonderful expression it should have.

The queen comforted me as she spoke of her hatred. He also told me that in addition to Concubine Wan in the harem now, Concubine Li is the most favored. And the rest of the concubines are basically just decorations. Even the emperor is dealing with government affairs. They were all accompanied by these two concubines in turn. It really made many concubines envious.

I looked at the way the queen looked at me. Suddenly understood something. **The reason why she is still the queen is probably because of pressure from the court. What's more, she is not only arrogant and domineering. No big mistakes have been made. Xiao Ziling couldn't find any reason to abolish her. But if it goes on like this. The power of the harem will inevitably be divided between those two. By then, it would be too late to suppress it.

"Yuanyuan. Sister is not forcing you. I just want you to press your temperament. Although the emperor has done a little too much this time. But it's also your fault. Not to mention whether you really like the emperor or not. But you should also think about your family. If Long Yan is furious. How should your family behave with themselves? That reminded me. No matter how much I hate Xiao Ziling. But I must not be so concerned about my family.

"Sister rest assured. I know what to do. I nodded to the Queen. Right now. A little girl of two or three years old stumbled in from outside. Girls' literature is updated for the first time She plunged into the arms of the queen at once. The milk screamed angrily: "Mother." He rubbed her a few more times. before he looked up at me.

This child's immature appearance softened my heart. When I come back to my senses. The hand was already on her face. I didn't feel anything though. But I think her face should be extremely soft. The skin is also delicate and smooth. Two round eyes stared at me wide. She climbed out of the Queen's arms and turned closer to me. Tiny hands also ruffled a small lock of hair from my ear. I tugged hard.

Even if it doesn't hurt, it still makes my heart ache. I took her in my arms. Unconsciously showed a hint of a smile.

"You also like children. Girls' literature: "The queen saw that I loved this little girl so much. continued: "Ling'er. Don't call your aunt yet. ”

Ling'er's eyes widened. The soft voice and the two fleshy little hands waved at me: "Auntie... Maternal aunt... Mother. She said it in fits and starts. When she concatenated the last two words. A strange sensation spread throughout my body.

I unconsciously hugged her tighter again. I didn't know I had hurt her until her eyes were already full of tears. Hurriedly let go of his hand.

"Yes... I'm sorry. I scrambled to wipe her tears from her eyes. Bian smiled apologetically at the queen. The queen didn't blame me. She just pulled her away from me. Skillfully held in his arms. Said softly: "Ling'er doesn't cry." The queen mother will rub you. ”

"Woooooooo My aunt is good or bad. I don't like my aunt. Woooooooo Ling'er cried more and more fiercely. Two tears flowed out like a river that had burst its embankment. When I heard her say she didn't like me. I felt like the whole world had collapsed.

My eyes were always on her. I wanted to apologize to her several times, but I couldn't say anything. Ling'er's crying never stopped. In desperation, the queen had no choice but to call the nurse and take her down. He began to sigh.

"This kid just loves to cry. I've loved to cry since I was a child. Maybe it's not because of my own birth. She always refused to be intimate with me. The queen's words made my heart ripple again. Ling'er wasn't even her own. I suddenly remembered what Xiao Zijin had said. It is impossible to get pregnant in your lifetime. It turned out to be true.

"Sheβ€”" The soft voice came to my ears again. I covered my mouth with an answer that was so shocked. But the queen did not notice anything strange about me. She continued with a bitter face: "If it weren't for this child. The main palace should have been abolished a long time ago. ”

I didn't speak. Instead, he looked straight at her. I hope she can tell me the origin of this child herself. But she just said hastily: "This child was given to the palace by the emperor" and then kept silent.

Since I went back, I've been wondering about the origin of this child. and the flickering words of the queen. That strange feeling always haunted me. As soon as I close my eyes. Her eyes were full of tears. And that sentence: I don't like you.

I think maybe I've guessed something. But I don't dare to confirm it. I was afraid that I would be out of control and would do something. I'm even more afraid that this will hurt Ling'er.

I thought with a sigh. The night looked at me stupidly. Her IQ is now about the same as that of a child. Only commands will be executed. But he never took the initiative to say a word. But what makes me curious. It's rare that Han Xiao didn't nag in front of me. She sat on the side and sat on the window railing in a daze. Seems to be thinking about something.
