Chapter 17: The Autumn Festival (Part II)

When the eldest prince heard the scolding, he raised his hazy drunken eyes, and was meeting Huang Ling'er's silky eyes, and even smelled the fragrance of flowers, raised his hand and pointed at Huang Ling'er and said:

"You, come here!"

Huang Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward, Meng Shuipei also hurriedly stepped forward, Mama Zhao's face changed slightly, and she was about to open her mouth to stop it, when the little eunuch's voice came from outside the hall:

"The imperial concubine has arrived."

The eldest prince hurriedly stood up and dressed himself to go out, and Mama Zhao turned around and scolded the two fiercely:

"Go back!"

Outside the Zhishuang Pavilion, the emperor's face was gloomy, and the queen said with a smile:

"Jue'er arranged the lake lantern this year, I heard that it is a master found from the people, and the emperor will taste it later, but he must point out the concubines, so that the concubines can know where the height is."

The emperor's face was slightly pale, he nodded, and someone from the palace whispered back to the emperor and the queen:

"The imperial concubine is here."

The imperial concubine, who was still beautiful over forty years old, stepped forward to greet the emperor and the queen, sat down at the bottom, looked at the emperor carefully and said with a smile:

"The emperor is a little tired, the concubine is waiting for you to rest for a while."

The queen's face sank slightly, and she turned to smile and said:

"If the emperor feels tired, let's go to Qingfeng Residence, it's closer, there are people arranged there tonight, everything is complete."

The emperor nodded and stood up, the queen and the imperial concubine hurriedly stood up, and the emperor waved his hand and said:

"You guys watch the lights here, I want to rest alone for a while."

The queen and the imperial concubine both bent their knees and agreed. Gonggong Lu waited for the emperor to go down the stairs, and at the door of the Shuang Pavilion, Mama Zhao looked at Gonggong Lu, lowered her eyelids, and nodded, Gonggong Lu turned his eyes with a smile and said carefully:

"Your Majesty, it's dark, you go slowly."

Qingfeng was in the house, Li Qing leaned against the corner of the wall, falling asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard a hurried footsteps running in, Gu Ruyan stood up with a "whew", Li Qing also woke up, hurriedly stood up, and grabbed Gu Ruyan, who was about to run out.

A middle-aged father-in-law hurriedly walked in and whispered:

"The emperor is here, stay and don't go out!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out again, Li Qing let go of his hand, sat back on the stool, and looked coldly at Gu Ruyan, who was spinning in circles like ants in a hot pot. After a while, the middle-aged eunuch who ran out ran back again, and greeted the two of them:

"You two, quick, follow me!"

Li Qing's heart sank, and he subconsciously touched the pill in Gong Xuan, and ran out after Gu Ruyan.

In the side hall, Gonggong Lu squinted his eyes and looked Li Qing and Gu Ruyan up and down, and asked in a shrill voice:

"What's your name?"

Li Qing and Gu Ruyan timidly stepped forward to report their names, Father-in-law Lu's eyes narrowed even more, he laughed twice in a low voice, waved his hand, and the little eunuch next to him came up with a boxwood carved tea tray, Father-in-law Lu took the tea tray, put it in Li Qing's hand, and commanded softly:

"Go, send it to the emperor."

Li Qing swallowed nervously, looked back at Gu Ruyan, Gu Ruyan was looking at the tea tray in her hand with an eager face, Father-in-law Lu looked at her, smiled lightly, and said gently:

"You go too!"

The two turned out of the side hall, Li Qing looked back at Gu Ruyan's eager face, gritted his teeth, and handed her the tea tray, Gu Ruyan took it ecstatically, and kept nodding his head to express his gratitude, Li Qing frowned, and reminded in a low voice:

"Be careful of knocking it over!"

Gu Ruyan didn't dare to move anymore, carefully holding the tea tray, Li Qing silently lagged half a step behind and followed behind Gu Ruyan.

The two turned into the inner room, the little eunuch at the door lifted the curtain, Li Qing followed Gu Ruyan and bowed his head in, the candlelight in the room was slightly dim, and there was a sweet fragrance in the air, in front of the light silk curtain hanging like smoke, there were two little eunuchs standing motionless, behind the curtain, the emperor was lying on a beauty couch with his eyes slightly closed.

The two gently walked through the curtain, Li Qing lowered his head, looked around with his eyes, quietly found a place in the shadow of the curtain and knelt down, bowed down lowly, Gu Ruyan walked to the couch, knelt in front of the emperor, lifted the tray, and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, please use tea."

The emperor moved, his eyes opened a little, and he looked at Gu Ruyan who was kneeling in front of the couch, with a slender and small figure, hanging his head, and the back of his neck was white and delicate, and the emperor's eyes were slightly interested.

"Hmm... Keep your head up. ”

Gu Ruyan raised his head tremblingly, his fair and tender face was full of childishness, a pair of caged eyebrows, his watery eyes were full of timidity, his pointed chin was pitiful, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes seemed to be full of countless love threads, the emperor only felt that his body was hot, the corners of his mouth smiled, he pointed to the dwarf next to him, and said softly:

"Put it there, you come here."

Gu Ruyan moved over, put down the tea tray, and moved it to the emperor, the emperor stretched out a hand and gently kneaded Gu Ruyan's chin,

"What's your name?"

"Back to the emperor, the slave is called Gu Ruyan."

"Well, like smoke, good name, how old is it?"

"Back to the emperor, thirteen years old."

"Thirteen Years Old ......"

The emperor sat up, took Gu Ruyan's hand, rubbed it slowly for a while, and with a slight force, pulled her to his side, reached into her clothes with one hand, and rubbed it in. Gu Ruyan shouted softly:

"The Emperor's ......"

Li Qing knelt in the shadows, didn't dare to move, was nervous, someone pulled her from behind, turned around, and saw a little eunuch kneeling behind her, pushing a sheep fat jade tray over, with two glasses of wine on it, signaling her to send it over, Li Qing's throat was a little tight, he secretly looked ahead, and quickly calculated, Gu Ruyan was only twelve years old, if she ......, I was afraid that she couldn't bear it, and she was injured, not to mention that she couldn't ask for medical treatment, even if she could, the injured place was ...... The little eunuch in the back pushed her again, Li Qing made up his mind, took the tray, turned around, secretly took a pill out of the palace silk, put it in one of the cups, held the tray, gently moved to the side of the low table, lowered his head, pulled Gu Ruyan, put the cup with the medicine close to the emperor and lifted the tray, Gu Ruyan looked back and saw her, turned slightly to block the emperor's sight, took a cup, put it on with both hands, and shouted softly:

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor looked at her with a bit of confusion, drank the wine in the cup with her hand, reached out to take another cup, and sent it to Gu Ruyan's mouth, Gu Ruyan raised his head and drank it. Li Qing looked at Gu Ruyan's turn and block, feeling a little cold and a little funny, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that she drank the wine with the medicine, but she was helpless but calm, she had done her best.

Taking the empty cup, Li Qing took the tray and quietly moved back into the shadows, moved it in again, tried to hide himself, and turned back quietly, but he couldn't find the little eunuch.

In the room, the emperor had already ripped off Gu Ruyan's shirt, revealing a slender and white upper body, Li Qing frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, looked around, quickly put his index finger into the cup and dipped it in some wine, put it on his tongue and tasted it, there was a small amount of aphrodisiac in this wine! Li Qing's body trembled slightly, who is this? Who are they plotting? She? No, she's just a small quasi-female official, and she can't see the eyes of those big people, plotting against the emperor? This dose is very light and does not harm the body, what is going on? Li Qing's brain was spinning rapidly, the room was already full of spring, the emperor was holding Gu Ruyan, who was no longer a wisp, and put it on the couch, Gu Ruyan was weak, holding the emperor weakly, his mind seemed to be a little confused, and he only kept muttering, "The emperor... Your Majesty..."

Li Qing was extremely embarrassed, and moved out again, but ran into the little eunuch on duty outside the curtain, Li Qing raised his head and looked at him pleadingly, the little eunuch lowered his eyes and pointed to the back slightly with his finger, Li Qing was overjoyed, nodded and thanked him, carefully and quickly crawled to the place where the little eunuch fingered, there was indeed a very small side door, Li Qing climbed out, but hit his head on a pair of boots, it was Father-in-law Lu, Father-in-law Lu saw her, slightly surprised, turned to frown, raised his foot and gently kicked her into the corner next to him, Still pricked up his ears and listened to the movement in the house.

There was a happy wheezing sound in the room, and Gu Ruyan called "Emperor" in the middle, and the wheezing stopped slightly, only to hear the emperor's hoarse and tight voice:

"Call my brother, call me brother!"

Gonggong Lu relaxed, with a smile on his face, this time the emperor is really happy, there will be many nobles in the palace tomorrow, looking back at the frightened Li Qing, it doesn't matter which girl it is, the emperor is happy.

Father-in-law Lu leaned tightly and let himself stand against the wall, and motioned for Li Qing to go out, Li Qing hurriedly squeezed out, and as soon as he went out, he was pulled into the compartment on the side by a hand, Li Qing calmed down, and saw that it was the middle-aged eunuch who pulled her over, and he was turning around and pouring a glass of water and handed it to her:

"Hold it down."

Li Qing took it gratefully, took a sip with both hands, and the middle-aged eunuch lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:

"I'll have someone take you back, and today's mission will be over."

Li Qing thanked him in a low voice, drank the water, and went to Ningshou Hall with a little eunuch, there were already many people waiting in the hall, Meng Shuipei and Huang Ling'er were also there, seeing her come in, the two greeted her together, Huang Ling'er glared at Meng Shuipei fiercely, Meng Shuipei didn't seem to see it, only looked behind Li Qing, saw that there was no one, and hurriedly turned around and asked:

"Why did you come back alone? What about Sister Gu? ”

Li Qing didn't seem to hear it, and ignored her, only walked a few steps inside, found a place to sit down against the wall, leaned his head against the wall, hung down slightly, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, Meng Shuipei pushed her unwillingly, chased and asked:

"You are talking, Sister Gu? What did you do to her? ”

Li Qing let her shake, but ignored it, Huang Ling'er was beside her, pushed Meng Shuipei away, and scolded:

"You slut, what are you pushing, I want to know how to find it myself!"
