Reunion of the Old (II) (Part I)

With the sweet fragrance comes not comfort, but lingering heat. The emperor, who was already sick and empty, suddenly felt that he had a little more strength, pinched the soft places on Qin Meiren's body a few times, and bit her lip out of blood. Although Qin Meiren endured it, in the end, she couldn't stand the tingling pain coming from her body, and screamed softly.

"I thought you could really endure it all the time!" The emperor said disdainfully.

"Concubines... "As the Emperor's hand strengthened, another tingling pain came.

"Scream, scream twice and listen."

"Shhhh The concubines don't dare..."

The Emperor scolded softly with disdain: "Fool, as stupid as your master!" ”

Qin Meiren shuddered, like an innocent injured lamb, looking at the emperor in surprise. Although she later knew that it was the queen's handiwork that she became a beauty, she didn't expect the emperor to see through it. The queen mother only told her after she was canonized, she didn't know about it, how did the emperor know?

The emperor pinched her chin and pulled her face closer, and at the same time pulled away her clothes on one side, pulled her belly pocket, pulled her body closer, and then close to her ears, the people in the distance looked like the two were playing an intimate game, but Qin Meiren listened to the emperor whisper with fear in her heart at this time: "Don't pretend to be innocent, whether you were willing or not, I didn't treat you badly." I also know that you don't want to stay in this palace, and I can only blame your master for being too impatient and too unconfident in the prince. You go back and tell her not to meddle in her affairs, just take care of the affairs of the sixth house. For example, catch the real owner of this kite. ”

Qin Meiren trembled and whispered, "Kite?" ”

"Stupid and stupid!" The emperor stabbed and removed a large piece of her dress on the right side, and a cold irritated her skin, and she rested as if she was dodging, why couldn't her chin be pinched and couldn't move. Then I heard the emperor say impatiently: "Fool, don't move, you hide like this, you don't look like a favored woman." If you want your brother to live, do as I say. ”

Qin Meiren froze suddenly, and when she thought of the queen's words, she didn't dare to move, letting that ruthless hand ravage. The eunuch who came out to be on duty with great eyes raised the curtain around the pavilion.

Glancing at the delicate skin that was snow-white and easily scarred, the emperor snorted: "Even if your master still understands my preferences. Why don't you hurry up for me?! ”

"Huh?!" Qin Meiren couldn't react a little, Although she is called a waiter in the past few days, she has never had a substantial waiting, at this time in Shanglin Yuan, in broad daylight?

"You didn't hear what I just said?"

"Oh," Qin Meiren reacted, reluctantly, for the sake of her brother and her own life, she could only ...

On the path outside the pavilion, two women in palace clothes ran in a giggling manner, holding hands with each other, and the sun shone on their young faces, reflecting the luster of healthy gold. The two women are not particularly beautiful, but the sweetness of youth makes people look comfortable. Running, the spring shirt is light and the waves are undulating. The eunuchs on duty saw a lot of various postures in the palace, and looked at each other tacitly. As if it had been discussed, no one came forward to silence them.

The two of them didn't seem to know that they had entered the forbidden area, and they were still running forward giggling, running towards the kite. It wasn't until she picked up the kite that one of them seemed to realize the anomaly and pushed the person next to her to look at the pavilion covered by the curtain. The two of them looked shocked, and one took the other to leave quickly, and heard the emperor's voice sound in the pavilion: "Who's outside?" ”

Seeing the deacon and eunuch coming, the two knelt down tremblingly, and one of them replied eloquently: "The slaves and maids are the palace maids of the Ouchi needlework room, and on the day of the rest today, I heard that many sisters are flying kites in Shanglin Yuan, so the slaves and maids came over and flew kites together. It's just that I didn't expect the kite string to break, and the kite floated here. The slaves and maids came to pick kites. ”

"Let them in." When the emperor's voice came, the two women glanced at each other and smiled faintly.

A few hours later, the well-informed masters in the palace heard the news that two palace maids who had come from the needlework room in Jiangnan were sent to the bed of the sick and weak emperor by the crown prince. Is this the foolish filial piety of being a son in order to please Lao Tzu? Or send a reminder to the seriously ill emperor?

Concubine Chen was also one of these masters, she looked at the candle she had just lit, and touched the white cat lying on her right hand with one hand: "How can they conclude that these people were given to the emperor by the crown prince?" ”

"The Qin beauty in front is from the queen's palace. Although these two palace maids are in the sewing room of the Inner Palace, they were sent by the prince from Jiangnan to embroider Wanfu Wanshou Cai for the emperor's birthday. "The year before last, the emperor's birthday, because of poor health, the emperor's trusted master Yangquan Temple Yiming suggested to the emperor to offer a hundred blessings and longevity flags in front of the Bodhisattva. Moreover, these embroiderers need to embroider less than 100 steps away from the emperor to ensure that the 100 colored flags take away the emperor's 100 diseases and go to the Bodhisattva. These colored flags must be embroidered with a hundred longevity characters and blessing characters on one side, and the Bodhisattva of Fuxian on the other side is sealed. Because the amount is large, and it requires double-sided embroidery, and it has to be close to the emperor, so it can't be done slowly. For this reason, the emperor specially asked the prince to go to the south of the Yangtze River and get ten embroidery girls. Although the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince Yiyi didn't think so, the emperor was willing to believe Master Yiming's words, and they didn't want to disobey him for such a trivial matter, so they really let Yiyi go to Jiangnan to attract this group of embroiderers.

All the way from the south of the Yangtze River, these embroidery girls admired the handsome and elegant prince, and many people moved their minds, and there were a lot of rumors at that time. also behaved righteously, and did not let people finally grasp the handle. After the embroidery of these colored flags, the emperor was very satisfied, and Master Yiming also told him that on the day of the offering in front of the Bodhisattva, there was black gas slowly emitting around the main hall. Maybe it was because of the psychological effect, the emperor also felt that his body was much better at that time. As soon as he was pleased, he rewarded each of these embroiderers with a female officer's salary, and came into the needlework room. Because of the previous incident, these women have always been regarded as the prince's people. Today's two women are two of the ten embroiderers.

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut~~," Concubine Chen chuckled: "If these embroidery girls were recruited by the prince, they are the prince's people, then the eunuchs in the palace are all recruited by those husbands of the Internal Affairs Office, do we just say that these people are all old people?" Is this the storyteller getting dumber? Or does he think that the people in the palace and the emperor are stupid, and he can fool around casually? ”

Mama Deng looked at the people around Concubine Chen, and then spoke: "The old slave thinks that this matter should be seen like this, because this statement is full of loopholes, so people will think that this is a false accusation on the prince's head." This thing will definitely not be the prince, so you can justifiably take the prince out. In this way, everyone felt that this was not done by the prince. ”

Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows: "Then according to what you say, it is more likely that this matter was done by the prince?" ”

"The old slave thinks so."

Concubine Chen snorted and sighed: "Do you think we can think of this, but the other masters in the palace can't think of it?" ”

Mama Deng blushed a little, knowing that her master said that she was smart.

"What's more, there are so many strategists around the prince, and they have so many thoughts, will they be worse than us?" Concubine Chen wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief disdainfully, and reached out to serve tea.

"The old slave felt that those strategists, not only around the prince, but also in other places, were often pretentious and regarded the world as fools, but they didn't know that they were sometimes fools." Mama Deng is a person with strong self-esteem.

Concubine Chen looked at her and didn't speak. Since Jing Chen went to Nanyue Kingdom, Concubine Chen has changed a lot. Before Jing Chen left, the mother and daughter talked all night, although she always felt that her daughter still had some things that she hadn't told her, but Jing Chen had a few words that were very profound: In the palace, Concubine Chen is not as good as the queen, not as good as Concubine De, and even inferior to some talented people. The reason why she has lived well for so many years is that in addition to the emperor's liking for her happy and hateful nature, it is because the emperor needs her to bombard her character and use it unconsciously by the emperor; In the previous dynasty, Yiqing was not as good as Yiyi in terms of virtue and wisdom, and his scheming was not as good as Yiheng and a few of them, and he was able to live to this day because the emperor could sometimes use him to block the prince and find trouble for the queen mother. Jing Chen's marriage seems miserable, but with the promise of the crown prince, as long as she is optimistic about Nanyue, he will do his best to save the lives of Concubine Chen and Yiqing. But on the surface, they are still the emperor's tools, and they can't show their closeness to the prince.

Although Mama Deng has followed her since she was a child, the older she gets, the more obvious her face-saving personality becomes. She looked at Mama Deng silently for a while, and pursed her lips: "That's it!" We can't do anything about it. But isn't your cousin on an errand with the emperor? You'd better say hi to her, and be more mindful lately. I'm afraid that if this thing is true as you guess, the sky will change in this palace. Let her keep an eye on this for us at all times. Notify me in advance, otherwise I don't know how I will die at that time. ”

"Well, the old slave knows, I'm going to find her. Do you just want to talk to your family? ”

Concubine Chen waved her hand impatiently: "You can watch it." Concubine Chen felt tired. Since Jing Chen left, she realized that there was no powerful person around her who could use and speak.

In the East Palace of the Prince, Yiyi is still busy watching the unfinished recital today. This is the last book of the fold that must be completed today transferred by the cabinet, he quickly read the contents, and then read the annotations of the cabinet Qi, nodded with satisfaction, and put down the pen to write a quasi-word next to the annotation. Finally, I can put down the pen and move my muscles.

As soon as he turned his wrist twice, he saw the eunuch who delivered the fold come in again, and there were two folds on the tray.

"Why is it so late today?" The excerpts from the Cabinet, Unless urgent, a maximum of two batches a day, in the morning and after noon, it is already evening.

"This is played directly by the Imperial Tower." The eunuch said. The Imperial History of the Imperial Historical Observatory has the right to go directly to the heavens, but most of the time it is sandwiched in various recitals and goes to the cabinet first, and it is directly presented unless it is a major matter of urgency and importance, especially this point. Yiyi frowned and picked up one of them.
