Chapter 34: Tilt (4)
After Shi Qianmo changed the medicine for Concubine Ru for the fourth time, the wound healed significantly.
The injury on her arm was not so painful, and Ruyue could no longer settle down, but she just looked forward to the emperor's recovery every day, so that she could come to Yongshou Palace to take a look. After several struggles in her heart, she still wanted to take this step of lowering her face and making peace first.
Pei Shuang was a little mindful, and he couldn't help but persuade him bitterly: "Miss, you don't know, in fact, the emperor's illness is almost better, and the palace concubines who are sick have also returned to the palace." Anyway, you have been waiting these days, why not wait for a few more days, and wait for the emperor to come to our palace? β
"Since my injuries are almost healed, why don't you go and see for yourself. Otherwise, a heart will always hang and not be endured. Ruyue chose a set of light blue flag costumes of the sea and sky, embroidered with a few elegant white magnolias. The silver thread is mixed with ordinary white thread and hooked with lace, which looks particularly elegant and not eye-catching. However, when worn on Ruyue, it has a fresh taste.
"The emperor not only governs the country well, but also treats diseases." Pei Shuang knew that persuasion was useless, so he chose a lotus-shaped cloisonnΓ© honey hairpin with beads from the tray containing the hairpin. "Otherwise, why does the young lady have to see the emperor, so that this heart disease can be cured!"
"Clever tongue." Ruyue smiled: "You, you don't look like a little girl." Sometimes I wonder if I can be as sincere as you are. β
"Miss, are you praising the slave or damaging the slave?" Pei Shuang pouted, looking pure and beautiful. Ruyue gently tapped her forehead, and her heart softened: "If you don't go to prepare yet, the sun will go down." β
"The sun goes down? We don't even have lunch! According to the slave maid, it is Miss, you are too anxious to see the emperor. Pei Shuang was afraid that Ruyue would knock her forehead again, so she ran down naughtily: "Slave maid, let's do it, Miss, you can endure the taste of not seeing every other day!" β
"You girl, don't run ......" Ruyue chased a few steps, and was also amused by her own appearance. also because of the crazy fuss with Peishuang for a while, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
People always have to look forward, and life is not a day. With such a relaxed and beautiful mood, Ruyue suddenly felt that the palace was full of pleasant spring colors.
"Yo, Concubine Runiang, why are you here?" Chang Yonggui saw that the person who got off the chariot was Concubine Ru, and walked a few steps to meet him: "Slave remember, the emperor has instructed you to give birth to and recuperate!" β
"Father-in-law Lao is worried." Ruyue smiled modestly, unable to hide the joy in her eyes: "Is the emperor better?" β
"It's much better, I was able to walk around the ground yesterday." Chang Yonggui was a little worried, and said solemnly: "Niangniang doesn't know, the emperor is seriously ill this time, and he has never gotten out of bed a few days ago. The slave dared to speculate that perhaps it was because of depression that delayed the emperor's recovery. β
"It's Hongu Ru who is reckless." Ruyue blamed herself, and the handkerchief in her hand tightened a little.
"It's not your fault, don't embarrass yourself. But the slave knew that the emperor was bitter, since you are here at this time, it is better to accompany the emperor to talk. The emperor cares about you the most, and he will definitely be relieved a lot. Chang Yonggui took the opportunity to speak, and got a little closer to Ruyue, and said in a secret voice: "At this time, Chen Chang of Changchun Palace is accompanying him!" β
"Grandpa Xie mentions!" Ruyue and Chang Yonggui looked at each other, and knew that this Chen Changzai was not so simple. "Just go in the palace by yourself, and don't go to this section without your father-in-law."
"Huh." Chang Yonggui also understood Ruyue's thoughts, so he obediently got out of the way: "Niangniang, please." β
Pei Shuang wanted to go along, but Chang Yonggui stopped him: "The girl can rest in the ear room, and if she wants to come to the concubine, she will tell the slave to do it if she has something." β
"But ......" Pei Shuang hesitated a little: "The slave is afraid that the young lady will suffer." β
In fact, what is the situation inside, Chang Yonggui has been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he can imagine it with his eyes closed. The reason why Concubine Ru was still allowed to go in was mostly because I wanted her to understand that no one in this harem had such an emperor's life. If you don't want to lose your grace and lose your barrier, you have to see the situation clearly and hold back your heart.
What about the high-ranking concubine, when it is time to flatter, you have to let go of your body and please the emperor. "The two girls can rest assured that the mother is calm, and she must not lose anything." Chang Yonggui squinted at the sky: "If you want to come, you have to come to at least a cup of tea before you can come out!" β
Pei Shuang nodded suspiciously, and sighed quietly: "Then the slave will go to the ear room and wait." β
Chang Yonggui waved his hand and motioned for her to go. After Peishuang left, he called Xiao Mazi again: "You go, secretly follow Concubine Ru, see if you can help anything?" Remember, if Concubine Ru didn't call you to get started, don't go forward by yourself. β
The little pony got the order, and quickly went inside. When he saw it, Concubine Ru was already standing by the window lattice of the Heart Warm Pavilion.
At this time, several begonias in the courtyard are blooming brightly, and the bright red flowers are particularly eye-catching. The red color is full of blooming spring. Although it is not fragrant, it takes away the eyes of others, and the eyes are branded with a magnificent trace. It's like a concubine dressed in elegant blue clothes, abrupt and isolated, which is incompatible with this delicate.
Remembering the master's words, Xiao Mazi did not come forward, but only hid at the pillar at the corner, silently watching Concubine Ru's every move.
It was quiet all around, thinking that the emperor had retired from the palace people who served. Ruyue stood by the window and listened really brightly, only the soft and gentle singing in the warm pavilion was like a string of beads, crisp and moving.
"Doesn't it sound good, Your Majesty?" Chen Changzai's voice is very soft, revealing the charm of the little daughter, and even when she speaks, she is extra gentle and soft. "Sounds good." The emperor's voice could not hide the joy in his heart: "Ziyue is really a person as his name suggests, and his voice is as pleasant as a yellow bird out of the valley, which really makes me feel happy." β
Ao Jia Ziyue, Ruyue read this name over and over again in her heart. There is also a word "Yue" in the name, which is the same as his own Yue. In the emperor's sentence, he repeated this word three times. Still suppressing the vinegar rolling, Ruyue stepped forward slightly, turned sideways, and looked in through the crack in the window.
"It's good if the emperor likes it. Then the concubines can often accompany the king in the name of offering songs. Chen Chang leaned on the emperor's arms shyly, and said sweetly: "It's just that this 'gentleman' is not the other 'gentleman', can the emperor understand Yue'er's mind?" β
"Oh? I don't understand, Yue'er, you come and listen. The emperor giggled, reflecting the beautiful woman's flower-like face.
"A king is a king, but it is not the meaning of a king. Rather, it's Lang Jun. Chen Chang buried his head in the emperor's chest, and said coquettishly: "The emperor is not allowed to pretend to be confused, when he is with Yue'er, he is still thinking about others." β
The emperor was slightly unhappy, and there was not too much appearance on his face. "It's me who has spoiled you, and I don't look at what kind of identity you are now, and you don't look a little reserved."
Chen Chang was shrewd, and heard the emperor's hidden reproach, and then said obediently: "Yue'er is just a quick mouth, Your Majesty, don't be angry." Why don't you sing a little song for you? β
"Okay, that's good." The Emperor chuckled lightly and rested Chen's jade hand in his palm.
This scene once upon a time also appeared when Ruyue was alone with the emperor. Looking at it now, it's a different state of mind. Ruyue retracted her burning gaze and took two steps back slightly.
The step may be backward, but what about the heart? How can the heart regress in order to retract to the appearance of never having extravagant hopes?
As soon as her palm was hot, Ruyue suddenly didn't want to back down. Even if you shouldn't worry about it with the mere constant people, you just want to find out whether the emperor's heart is still there. Holding back her resentment, Ruyue couldn't help but look around.
Xiao Mazi is a person trained by Chang Yonggui, after all, he is smarter. Seeing that Concubine Ru seemed to be looking for someone, she walked out with her head hanging down as if nothing had happened.
"Pony." Ruyue took a few quick steps towards him, and said softly: "Spread the word for the palace." Xiao Mazi nodded, and then cleared his throat: "If the concubine is here." β
This shout was particularly crisp and loud, and the two people in the warm pavilion were stunned.
"Why is Concubine Ru here?" Chen Changzai still maintained a smile like honey, but the resentment in her heart made her as uncomfortable as sand in her eyes.
"That's right." The emperor was also a little surprised: "Ruyue's injury has not healed yet, so she came to see me in a hurry." As he spoke, the emperor couldn't control his legs and feet, and couldn't help but go towards the door.
"Your Majesty......" Chen Chang said when he reached his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it properly. Stop the emperor and let him stay by his side. Or continue to be coquettish, begging the emperor to order Concubine Ru to go back to the palace to recuperate from her injuries, and only leave herself to accompany her? If the concubine has not yet entered the door, the emperor can't wait to welcome him out, which shows that no matter what he says, it is useless.
A thousand words were stuck in Chen's throat, making her breathing extremely unsmooth. "Your Majesty, the concubine's song hasn't been sung yet!"
"I've long heard the sisters of the harem say that Chen Changzai has a golden voice, but it's a pity not to sing!" As soon as Ruyue stepped into the threshold, the emperor had already stretched out his palm. "The concubine is in a hurry, and she can feast her ears."
"Why are you here, didn't I tell you to take care of your injuries?" The emperor's gentle smile did not tell the alienation and coldness.
Ruyue was comforted a little, but she didn't feel a warm heart, and said with a blessing: "The emperor is blessed." The concubine failed to serve the sick, and her heart was quite uneasy. Now that his injuries are stable, he can't stay any longer. You must see with your own eyes that the emperor is fine, so that you can be at peace in your heart. β
"Silly girl, aren't I good!" The emperor's tone was not as casual as coaxing Chen Changzai, but it added a bit of indulgence: "If you feel any more uncomfortable, I am afraid that it will be even more heartbroken." β
