Chapter 23: Woe to Delay (3)
Pei Shuang's estimate is not bad at all, when Ruyue returned to Yongshou Palace, the emperor had already arrived.
"Miss, the emperor has run out of tea, why did you come back now." Peishuang greeted with joy, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
Ruyue's heart couldn't help but tremble, he really came. "Lead the way. It is inconvenient to keep the emperor waiting. In fact, she was really a little scared, afraid that he was used to living without himself. Intoxicated by the different styles of spring, I gradually forgot that there was a miserable her.
At that time, the emperor was holding a gardenia, looking at the small shoots that emerged from the branches and leaves. Ruyue walked in with thin steps, not forgetting to cough lightly, for fear that the emperor would be too fascinated and not know that someone was coming behind him.
"Ruyue, come over and see, this gardenia has budded." The Emperor listened to the voice and did not turn around.
Ruyue didn't salute either, just this sentence, and the frost that had been sealed in her heart for several days began to disappear. "Where?" She couldn't help but take a step and walk to his side.
"Here." The emperor stretched out his finger and pointed to the buds on the branches: "Look here, there are also here, there are really a lot." Ruyue followed his fingers and saw the small green buds, and sweetness welled up in her heart. His hand held her hand so naturally, and the warmth flowed into his heart one by one. It's as if he's never walked away.
"Your Majesty." Ruyue suppliedly stuck to the emperor's shoulder, and said softly: "These days, it is the concubines who are willful. ”
The emperor's gentle gaze fell on Ruyue's cheeks softly and densely: "It's not good for me, I didn't care about looking at you." I always feel that it would be better for you to calm down. Without waiting for Ruyue to answer, the emperor said happily: "Do you know? Chang Yonggui told me that the Ministry of Internal Affairs hung up your green card, and I didn't even have the mind to go to the court, and I wanted to come to see you in a hurry.
When I arrived at the Yongshou Palace, I saw flowers all over the ground, and I felt like my heart was blooming. But you're not there! The emperor's words were so loving, and with a child-like tone, he complained: "I immediately want to go to the queen's Chuxiu Palace to bring you back." ”
"Fortunately, the emperor didn't go." Ruyue turned her head and pouted: "If the emperor goes, only eighty percent of the concubines who will come back at this time will be alone." ”
"You, little family." The emperor scratched the tip of Ruyue's nose: "I knew that I remembered you in my heart, so I didn't come back earlier." Now I have to blame me for ignoring you. I hate that I can't give you my heart and liver! ”
"Not really." Ruyue looked serious and said worriedly: "It's just that when Concubine An was teaching the palace maid in Chuxiu Palace, she had a fetal gas." At this time, the queen mother sent her back to Xianfu Palace and also invited the imperial doctor. I don't know how it goes! Does the emperor want to take a look? ”
"I've already let the pony go and see." When the emperor stopped Ruyue, he didn't want to think about other people or other things. Greedy and lazy sniffing the smell of Ruyue is better than the sweet smell of a hundred flowers, which can make him feel at ease.
"I see, it's an afterthought for the concubine." Ruyue leaned very close to the emperor, and she could feel his body temperature and heartbeat closely. This feeling made her feel very flustered, as if she couldn't hide her little daughter's thoughts.
"Hypocrisy!" The emperor pretended to blame: "The queen sent someone to inform me, so naturally she had to go this way." But where I gave up you, I naturally refused to leave. I had to send Xiaomazi to inquire about Xin'er, and I had to give the queen an explanation. As he spoke, the emperor's hand wandered dishonestly on Ruyue's back.
simply took Ruyue into his arms unscrupulously, this long-lost feeling was very sweet and couldn't help but make people's hearts beat.
"Your Majesty." Ruyue reminded shyly: "There are still palace people outside, in broad daylight." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The emperor let go of his hand slightly, and still wrapped the beautiful woman in his arms: "I'll accompany you to eat for a while, and after dinner, let's play chess and talk, okay?" ”
"What does the emperor mean is that you won't leave today?" Ruyue asked knowingly.
"What? Aren't you welcome? The emperor asked rhetorically with a straight face.
"If I don't welcome it, will the emperor be to blame?" Ruyue's face was extraordinarily delicate because of its sweetness, which made the emperor unbearable to blink. "If the emperor promised not to blame me, I would say yes."
"You!" The emperor kissed her pink cheek hard: "I just want to be cheeky, and I won't leave anything today." I don't believe you dared to blast me with a broom. ”
Ruyue smiled sweetly, and finally threw herself into the arms of the emperor. She even wondered if she was thinking too much a few days ago. In fact, he has always had his own place in his heart, but he didn't seriously believe it. Thinking of this, Ruyue couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and she became closer and more supple.
He's by his side, and that's enough.
Compared with the deep affection and sweetness of Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace is simply turned upside down.
Instead of alleviating her abdominal pain, Ann's pain became more severe. At this time, the person who came from the queen was not the emperor, but Chang Yonggui's little apprentice, Xiao Mazi.
This ridiculous scene made the queen almost faint. If the concubine's green head card is just hung up, the power that she has worked so hard to hold will be tilted.
"The queen mother, the concubine is so painful." An Concubine stretched out her hand to hold the queen's wrist and begged bitterly: "Niangniang, save me, save the child in my womb, I can't live without him, the queen mother, you want to think of something!" ”
The queen glanced at An Concubine in extreme disgust, and Zi Min immediately stepped forward and broke An Concubine's hand. "Concubine An, you still have to take care of yourself, don't embarrass the queen."
"But the concubine is really in pain...... "Concubine An clutched the futon on the bed desperately, sweating densely down, and the pillow was already wet.
"It hurts?" The queen complained coldly and said, "It should be true that the palace said that my heart hurts." What the hell is going on with you, you have been learning singing and dancing skills with Grandma Sun for so long, thinking that you can hold the emperor's heart. But right now, it's good, you have a stomachache like this, and the emperor refuses to even come to look at you.
How can you call this palace without heartache. If you knew this, why take the risk of trying all the means to dig you out of that tomb-like cold palace! Bring sand to the beach. ”
"The concubines don't want to do this, and the concubines also want the emperor to come up." An Concubine shouted this sentence hysterically, but the pain still did not abate.
"You don't want to, you want to! Hum! Pipe dream. The queen glanced at Concubine An angrily, and said with great contempt: "If the green head card of Concubine Ru is put aside, your life and death will no longer matter." From this point of view, you are just the emperor's lonely fun, a moment of freshness. It took so much effort to spend this palace in vain. ”
"Queen Mother......" Concubine An listened to the extremely piercing words, and she couldn't feel the pain in her abdomen, so she sat up with her body propped up: "The concubine is not the emperor's plaything, the concubine is not." The emperor will not be greedy for a moment of freshness...... By no means. ”
"Zimin, go back to the palace!" The queen didn't bother to listen to her nonsense anymore, so she turned around and walked away with Zimin. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct the imperial doctor outside the door: "If you can keep it, you can protect it, and if you can't keep it, just go and tell the emperor." There are so many children in the harem that there are no children, and there is no shortage of her, the one who has not yet been born. ”
An Concubine only felt that her bones were full of ice slag, and it was cold to a certain extent. There was so much resentment and crowding that she lost her strength completely. Could it be that God really wants to be so cruel and play tricks on her three times and twice?
No, absolutely not, even if she doesn't want this child, she can't just fulfill the queen's heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she endured the intense pain, took something out from under the thick cotton cushion, and swallowed it without hesitation. "Let's see, Queen, I will never be an outcast in your eyes."
"Your Majesty, it's not good." Xiao Ma Zi rushed in like a gust of wind, and kept shouting: "Oh no, no good...... Chang Yonggui jumped out of smoke and kicked Xiao Ma Zi in the buttocks: "Little cub, you are crazy, you have disturbed the emperor and Concubine Ru, and you want to be beaten." ”
"Oh, master, you don't know something." Xiao Mazi's anxious facial features were all together: "An Concubine's dragon fetus, eighty percent of it can't be saved." The minions don't know what to do......"
"Can't keep it?" Chang Yonggui's expression was stunned: "I was fine yesterday, but I can't keep it today, there is something wrong here." What did the queen say? ”
The queen mother saw that the situation was not good, and returned to Chuxiu Palace early in the morning. At this time, there are only An Concubine and Engui in Xianfu Palace. Pony wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied carefully.
Chang Yonggui weighed the meaning of his words, and didn't realize what he understood. He only said: "I'll go to the emperor, but you have to remember that next time you encounter something, be calm." Don't feel like you've lost your soul. ”
Ruyue heard Xiao Mazi's voice early in the morning, but the emperor didn't say anything, and he couldn't hear it. Watching Chang Yonggui push the door in, he also guessed that An Concubine's dragon fetus was gone. Then he said: "Your Majesty, let the concubines accompany you and move to Xianfu Palace." ”
Chang Yonggui was thinking about how to open his mouth so as not to sweep the emperor's interest. Suddenly, when I heard Concubine Ru's words, I was grateful. In the end, Concubine Ru is the most shrewd, and she can see everything clearly.
The emperor bowed slightly, and said to Chang Yonggui: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Huh!" Chang Yonggui and Concubine Ru glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads again: "Xiao Mazi replied, saying that Concubine An's dragon fetus is unstable. Please ask the emperor to go over and take a look. ”
"Unstable?" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "After tossing for so long, it is still unstable." I can't keep it. But I, I'm not an imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor can't do anything, and it's the same result that I went. ”
Ruyue put down the chess pieces in her hand, helped the emperor to get up, and said: "The concubine knows Concubine An's mood at this time, and she can only settle down when she sees the emperor." The emperor is much more used than the imperial doctor. ”
"Let's go!" The emperor shook Ruyue's hand affectionately and instructed Chang Yonggui: "Go and get silk clothes for Concubine Ru, it's cold outside." ”
