Chapter 5 First Encounter with Concubine Xiang and Encounter with the Emperor
On the second day, the head of etiquette in the palace came to take them to practice etiquette.
Passing by a courtyard, a maid knelt there, kowtowing and asking the mother to spare her life, a woman who looked like a master was insulting there, and a slap flew over loudly.
"Damn slave maid, dare to seduce the emperor, gouge out her eyes for me, drag her out and kill with a cane."
When Orange Creek heard this, she wanted to run over to judge and save people, but was blocked by the head of etiquette and gave her a few slaps.
In the past, with the care of the general, Orange Creek was spoiled like a docile rabbit. Today, without the general by his side, Orange Creek's nature of not being afraid of the ground and the ground that day was awakened by force.
At night, Orange Creek lay on the bed, covering her still slightly swollen face, and cried. Growing up so big, even her parents didn't beat her, and she couldn't be wronged. She began to miss the days in the General's Mansion, and it turned out that not everyone would protect her like the General, and she wanted to go back.
Anyway, she couldn't sleep, she got up and wanted to walk around, she had grown up playing in the Forbidden City, and she was no stranger to this huge palace. After walking for a long time, my legs were too tired to move.
When she looked up, she came to the "Taihe Palace", the place where the emperor summoned hundreds of civil and military officials, and Orange Creek's curiosity made her push the door in.
The dragon chair, the dragon chair that could only be glanced at from a distance in the Forbidden City, she walked towards the dragon chair with a ghost.
"Wow, that's exquisite! It's so beautiful! The dragon chair looks like this? She stroked the dragon chair and sat down.
"It's big! Is this a bed or a chair? The tired Orange Creek lay down directly, probably because she was too sleepy, and she actually fell asleep this time.
The emperor was troubled by the border war and could not sleep. A person walked to the Taihe Hall alone, and the moment he entered, he was startled. There was a woman lying on his dragon chair, and anger burned in his heart.
"Bold, where did the slave and maid dare to lie on the dragon chair and sleep?" The emperor said angrily.
Orange Creek, who woke up from her sleep, rolled off the dragon chair and fell to the ground.
"Who are you? Why are you talking so loudly, you want to scare people to death? Orange Creek got up from the ground and asked angrily.
"Who am I? Hehe...... Who am I? "It's the first time that the emperor has grown so big, and someone has asked him who he is.
"Right? Who are you? Orange Creek circled around the emperor and nodded.
"I ...... I am the emperor...... The emperor's personal guard, do you know that sitting on the dragon chair is a capital crime. "The emperor is full of curiosity about this woman who does not know the height of the sky.
"It turned out to be a guard, as long as you don't say it, I won't say it, where is the capital crime, I haven't offended you, you won't want me to die! Besides, I didn't mean to, so you can help me! Orange Creek pretended to be innocent, and tears were about to be squeezed out.
"And who are you? If you want me to help you, you should know who you are, right? The emperor asked curiously.
"Me, I'm Chu Xiu who just entered the palace, hey, do you want to sit on the dragon chair, it's very comfortable." As she spoke, she pulled the emperor onto the dragon chair, "Haha...... You've also sat on the dragon chair, it seems that you can't help me if you don't help me! Haha......"
The emperor shook his head and smiled, "Tell me, whose name is your surname?" ”
"Tong Jiayingying, goodbye......" turned around and waved away.
The next day, a holy decree came, and Orange Creek was inexplicably sealed and agreed, and was given a place to live, and gorgeous clothes and jewelry.
Everyone rushed to ask Orange Creek, and they all wanted to ask, how did she get favored by the emperor, she was still a second monk, and she couldn't figure it out? Where to tell them what happened?
Of course, the emperor favored the newcomer again, and the most curious and anxious were his harem concubines.
What makes Orange Creek's image the most profound is that Xiang Concubine, as soon as she looks at the dress and hears the voice, Orange Creek recognizes it as soon as she sees it, this is the evil woman the day before yesterday.
As soon as he came, he gave Orange Creek a dismount, and Orange Creek looked at this high-flying woman, and couldn't help but pick out the events of that day. When Concubine Xiang heard this, she dared to question her like this with a small promise. flew over and slapped him hard, and none of the concubines, concubines, or Zhaoyi next to him stepped forward and squeaked.
"What a big courage, a small promise, dare to accuse me of how to discipline the slave maid, I am a dignified second-grade Xiang concubine, you have a small promise from the tenth grade, who gave you the courage." Concubine Xiang looked at each other angrily.
Orange Creek gritted her teeth with hatred, but she also knew in her heart that if she fought back now, she would definitely be killed, and she had to protect herself at the critical moment she watched on TV.
In the evening, the emperor came to Orange Creek's residence. He liked to be with this big, strange-talking woman, no pressure, no deceit, no pretense.
"Your promise was what I asked the emperor for you." The emperor told her.
"Nosy, who is rare, who will like this person who has committed the crime of bigamy N times."
"So that I have the opportunity to see you, I won't go to the Taihe Hall to find you every time!" The emperor stared at Orange Creek with affection.
"Okay, for the sake of your pretty good person, I'll make you a friend." Orange Creek reached out to shake the emperor's hand.
In this way, day after day, the emperor went night after night, and never turned over another woman's cards.
How could those lonely women in the harem endure such neglect, so the residence of Orange Creek became more and more lively.
Each concubine has its own ghosts, of course, the most unbearable is the Xiang concubine, who smashed in her own bedroom. Xiaobi, the loyal maid next to her, saw that Concubine Xiang was in such pain, so she had a plan, "Niangniang, the slave has a plan, I don't know if I should say it." ”
"Say"
"Tomorrow, isn't it the prince's birthday? At that time, the harem concubines should all go......" Xiaobi gave her a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which could kill the prince and remove the thorn in her eye.
On the second day, the prince's birthday banquet was held as scheduled, and the concubines and concubines were also ready for everything, so they owed the "east wind" of Orange Creek to come.
But Orange Creek was delayed, and seeing that the prince was about to eat the poisonous snack, Concubine Xiang's master and servant were nervous.
They did a lot of calculations, but they never thought that the emperor didn't let Orange Creek come to this banquet at all, and the emperor was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he stopped her from coming, and the emperor just wanted to have a place to go when he was upset.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the prince said that he was going to fly a kite, and he saved his life.
The two eunuchs followed the prince to the imperial garden to fly kites.
Orange Creek was bored in the room, and went to the imperial garden alone to stroll, looking at the free fish in the water, she thought of the general again.
The prince's kite suddenly broke the string, and the prince desperately chased after the kite, and the kite flew in front of Orange Creek and fell in the middle of the water. The prince chased after him and accidentally rushed into the river.
