Chapter 050: Competing for Favor

It's night, Yikun Palace.

Concubine Qing was lazily leaning on the chaise longue by the window, her eyes glancing at the corner door leading to the outside of the hall in the courtyard from time to time, until the familiar figure came into view with a bit of haste, and she closed her eyes inadvertently and took a nap.

After a while, a slightly panting voice accompanied by a burst of coolness came to the face: "Niangniang, you can really lie down, if you continue to be so negative, I am afraid that the emperor will be robbed by that fox." ”

"Oh?" Rong Laiqing teased her eyelids lightly and said lightly, "If there is really a woman who can win his favor alone, it will impress me." ”

Yi'er hated iron and said: "Niangniang, you don't know, I just heard that Princess Ning Wan is coming from the emperor himself, which is completely different from when you came to kiss him." I think that the emperor was also sincere to you and loved you in every way, but it didn't reach the point of being greeted by a grand ceremony, which shows that she was very popular with the emperor. ”

"A grand welcome?" Rong Laiqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Yes, that battle, those who don't know think that the emperor is marrying the queen."

Rong Laiqing couldn't help but feel a little interested: "Could it be that this Princess Ning Wan is really different?" ”

Yi'er didn't answer according to her words, but said with a little annoyance: "You had an awkward relationship with the emperor before he went to the east and left, and now it's been so long and it's still stiff, aren't you afraid that the emperor's heart will never be hot anymore if it's cold?" ”

"Yi'er, you have too many words."

"Mother, the word is against the ear. You must have thought about what the slave said. Even if the person in your heart is not the emperor, you shouldn't push the emperor away, after all, for the women in the harem, the emperor's favor is the talisman, do you want to sit still? ”

Rong Laiqing got up and stood in front of the window, staring at the direction of Shuihua Palace, her eyes were slightly rippling, and she seemed to realize for a while: "Yi'er, you're right, I can't sit still." From tomorrow onwards, keep an eye on the emperor's movements for me. ”

Yi'er was busy with surprise and responded: "Yes, mother." ”

On the second day, Chuxiu Palace.

Zhuang Xianfei, Zhuang Ziyan, frowned and looked at Xiao Yangzi, the servant beside her, and said, "Is this true?" ”

"Slaves don't dare to deceive their masters." Xiao Yangzi replied respectfully.

"Well, you go back and be careful."

"Yes." Xiao Yangzi retreated.

Zhuang Ziyan pondered for a long time, and said to Xia Er beside her: "You say, why is the emperor angry? ”

Xia Er blinked and said, "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid can't figure out the holy will." ”

"Then, did the emperor favor her?"

"The slave doesn't know this."

"You, can't you help Hongu think about it?"

"Niangniang, although the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid can help the maid give it a try."

"How do I try?"

Xia Er smiled slightly, whispered in her ear, and after a while, Zhuang Ziyan slowly hooked the corners of her lips.

Pei Gongcuo sent back the palace people who were with him, and only let Fu Xin follow from a distance. When I arrived at the edge of the Yuqing Pond, I met a woman dressed as a female official, with stars in her eyes, looking like a peach and plum, very delicate, and after seeing Pei Gongcuo, she gently blessed her body and said: "Congratulations to the emperor for adding a beautiful flower." The tone is soft and gentle, and the timbre is clear, and anyone who listens to this voice will have a trembling feeling at the tip of their heart.

Pei Gongcuo was already in a bad mood, and when he heard her congratulations, he was inexplicably angry, and said sarcastically: "Pin'er Mo is not jealous?" ”

"The slave doesn't understand, where did the slave and the maid say something wrong to make the emperor feel this way?" The tone, as always, is neither humble nor arrogant.

Pei Gongcuo stared at her for a long time, trying to find a flaw in her face, but in the face of those unwavering eyes, he finally laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, you have never been rare." What is the emperor's favor? To you, it's just a little handout with an overflow of feelings. Now she is not uncommon. You say that I am not cheap, and it is not good to like someone, but I like to disdain me. ”

Pin'er said in a light tone: "The reason why some people make you so worried and can't let go of it is just because you can't get it." Once you get it, you will be like your concubines, who are not taken seriously or even taken to heart. There is no need to force everything, and the emperor will have less but a lot of trouble. Isn't it better to cherish what you have in the moment? ”

Pei Gongcuo snorted coldly and said, "You are clever and eloquent, but what you say is also a little reasonable. But you are not me, and you can't understand what I'm thinking after all. Or maybe you know it but pretend you don't know. I'm not stupid enough to tell my feelings. ”

Pin'er didn't speak, but smiled gently and detachedly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back, and the slave and maid can't be accompanied." ”

Pei Gongcuo couldn't help sneering: "Since you want to escape from me so much, then get out-" The word "roll" was almost shouted.

"The emperor takes care of the dragon's body, and the slave and maid retire." Pin'er's words fell, and he left without hesitation.

Looking at her figure in a hurry, Pei Gongcuo's eyes were full of sadness and defeat.

Shuihua Palace.

This is the second day of entering the palace, although I know that the rules in the palace are to get up early to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, but first, Pei Gongcuo did not pamper her, and secondly, he did not mention this matter.

She expected that last night's incident must have spread all over the harem, and she angered the emperor on the first night, and she didn't even have a title, and she was afraid that she would have no status at all. It's just that at this moment, the mood is like listening to the winter water of the heart lake, as calm as ice, without the slightest waves. Even if a storm awaits her, she can handle it calmly.

She squinted at the sunlight outside the window and pursed her lips and smiled softly, everything, what does it have to do with her? It's just that thinking that Ji Yunye has left Dongli at this moment, his heart is inevitably empty.

"Wantao, those women in the palace must be gloating." Wan Tao heard the movement and came in to serve, Hua Mian asked casually.

"Girl, you are really relieved, the emperor only got up after you got up at this time, you can still sleep like that with the emperor last night, and now I don't think about how to redeem it, but think about his women first."

Hua Mian smiled disapprerovingly: "You have become fast, I used to wish I could marry Brother Ye, but now I am facing Pei Gongcuo's bastard." ”

"Shhhhhh Don't talk like that again. I don't want anyone, only to you, girl, and the person you identify in your heart is also Wantao's identification. I'm not saying this for your own good. ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're for my good, tease you."

"You!" Wan Tao seemed to think of something, "When the emperor left last night, Gonggong Fu beside him told all the palace people not to tell what happened last night, I didn't hear any news when I went out today, and they didn't dare to disobey if they wanted to come to the emperor." ”

"Oh?" Hua Myanmar was slightly surprised, but it was only fleeting. Why bother, from the moment he left, she decided that she was just a passerby, and everything here had nothing to do with her.

There is some warmth, which should not be expected. It's okay this way, if you don't get caught up in him, you will only have a place for one person in your heart.

Changchun Palace, Xinde Concubine's dormitory.

"Niangniang, the one in Shuihua Palace didn't go to greet the Queen Mother this morning, and I heard that the Queen Mother was very unhappy. The emperor didn't go to Shuihua Palace tonight or flipped over the card, and returned to the Heart Palace after approving the folds in the imperial study. Xin'er said happily.

Hearing the news, Li Xinyi was a little overjoyed. She didn't know when she started to fall in love with the emperor, only that she missed him very much in the days when he left the palace.

She was originally worried that Princess Ning Wan would take away the emperor's favor, but she didn't expect that she would just make the emperor fresh for a day. When he first entered the palace, the emperor stayed for several days in a row.

"Do you want to go and see the emperor?" Xin'er asked without losing any time.

After a pause, she nodded: "It's okay, help me make up." ”

Xin'er couldn't help but be happy on her face: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Kang Yong, who was standing outside the hall, saw Concubine Qing coming alone, and hurriedly sang: "Concubine Shu Niang has arrived." ”

Pei Gongcuo was painting in the study, and because he was depressed, he was repeatedly unsatisfied, so he crumpled the rice paper under his hand and threw it out.

Fu Xin picked up the paper ball and threw it into the paper basket, bowed down and asked, "Does the emperor want a servant to invite the concubine in?" ”

Pei Gongcuo threw the brush, walked out from behind the bookcase and said, "No need, I went out to see her." ”

Stepping out of the study, I saw a woman standing in the courtyard under the hazy moonlight. The moon-white brocade long skirt is on the ground, the light pink gauze is draped over the shoulders, the posture is graceful, the eyes are smart, the plump lips are full of pale pink luster, the silk-like hair is half stranded and half draped around the waist, a pink cherry hairpin is obliquely inserted in the bun, and the white little hand is holding a silk handkerchief, like a fairy who has strayed into the earth, which makes people tremble in an instant. He was breathing, how long had it been since he had seen her? How long has it been since I've seen her so charming? What kind of wind blew today, so that she also learned the style of harem women?

He smiled coldly: "Didn't you never disdain to meet me?" Why, I changed my mind when I felt that my position was threatened? ”

Rong Laiqing smiled instead: "The concubine made the emperor unhappy before to let the emperor leave the palace for so long, and even after returning to the palace, she didn't come to Yikun Palace for a long time." These days, the concubines have thought clearly, the emperor loves the concubines so much, and the concubines should be redoubled. In the past, the concubines were ignorant, but in the future, the concubines will cherish the emperor's favor and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. ”

Pei Gongcuo stepped forward, hooked her jaw, stared coldly into her eyes, and sneered: "This doesn't look like you, it really surprised me." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, will you forgive the concubine?" Rong Laiqing's eyes are full of sincerity, and people almost can't see the slightest element of acting.

"Forgiveness? What's wrong with you? ”

"Concubines shouldn't be pampered and arrogant, so that the petty son will push the emperor to other women."

"Pampered and arrogant? If that's the case, I won't be ......" Pei Gongcuo laughed at himself and let go of his hand, "That's it, the heart I want never belongs to me." ”

Seeing that her eyes were inquiring, he teased, "If you can please me, I will always pamper you." ”

She blushed suddenly, looked at him shyly and timidly, saw the corners of his lips hooked up wickedly, her heart trembled, and she took the initiative to send her red lips.

He froze for a moment before breaking away from her, turning his head away from all the palace people. When everyone retreated, he kissed her hostilely, and then he picked her up horizontally, walked quickly into the dormitory, threw her on the dragon bed, and then fell on top of him.

The candle shadow swayed and the clothes fell to the ground, the light gauze account, the beautiful shadow in pairs, the delicate panting and the suppressed panting intertwined into a beautiful melody.

Li Xinyi came at a bad time, and when she saw that there was no one waiting outside the hall, she should have guessed one or two, but the ghost made the gods go to the ground, but she walked into the hall. When this fragrant scene fell into view, her feet seemed to grow on the ground, and she couldn't pull half a step.

Pei Gongcuo heard the movement and lifted the gauze tent to look at her. When the four eyes met, he was stunned at first, then the corners of his lips hooked, and he suddenly turned over from Rong Laiqing, stepped over to Li Xinyi's side in a few steps, hugged her horizontally, turned around and threw her on the dragon couch, regardless of her wailing and resistance, he pulled her shirt and bullied her.

On this night, Pei Gongcuo pampered Concubine Qingshu and Concubine Xinde at the same time. It's just that for the people involved, there is no fun at all. Afterwards, although Pei Gongcuo looked like a nobody, he felt even more empty in his heart. And those two, not only did they not feel honored, but they both had some shame and annoyance in their hearts.
