Chapter 54: Another Demon
"Rejoice! How is Yunmei? Is the hatred resolved? Hearing the news of Concubine Xiang's grounding, Wen Xiuxiu slapped the table and applauded, the more they felt that she was humble, the more they felt that she was born lowly, the more she wanted to prove it to them, she, Wen Xiuxiu, is not easy to provoke, not everyone can trample on it, if others hurt her, she will definitely return it twice.
"Of course, thank you Niangniang for being the master of the slave maid, but Niangniang's injury will not affect your relationship with the emperor, right?" Of course, Yun Mei is happy in her heart, the master is willing to harm himself and stand up for her, what a great kindness!
"It doesn't matter." She looked at herself in the mirror and looked carefully, her face was a little red and swollen, she was not as charming as before, but she was still full of confidence and said to Yunmei.
But she didn't know that the women of the harem, no matter how charming you are, the emperor will eventually be aesthetically fatigued; Even if you have a unique charm technique, the emperor will have a boring day after all.
In fact, the position and the imperial heir are the foundation of being able to stand.
Sure enough, after the emperor's freshness, he didn't come to Qingshuilou so often.
"Yu Lan, which palace is the emperor resting in today?" Orange Creek couldn't sleep in the heat, and was eating chilled watermelon with relish, not forgetting to casually ask where the emperor went.
"Hui Niangniang, I just heard the eunuch on duty passing by say that the emperor is still in the imperial study!" Yu Lan was waiting beside her with a basin of water.
"Still in the Imperial Study?" Orange Creek muttered to herself, put down the watermelon peel in her hand, washed the watermelon residue in her hand, and thought while wiping her hands, "In this way, you go and ask the small kitchen to prepare a chilled taro milk syrup, and you can make another pot of mint tea, remember to add some honey, and tell them to move faster." β
"Niangniang, it's almost time to go to bed, you eat less and be careful of getting fat."
"Who said I ate it?"
"It's not you who eat...... Don't? Oh! The slave and maid understood, and went now. Yu Lan took the basin of water and went out of the room excitedly.
In the small kitchen, the little imperial chef was cleaning up the kitchen and preparing to close the door, "Wait a minute, Niang Niang has an order, chilled taro milk syrup, move quickly, it's for the emperor." β
The little imperial chef hurriedly opened the door, took the two maids, and began to prepare in a hurry. The emperor loved Yu Lan's mint tea, and Yu Lan also began to be busy, taking mint leaves to clean and prepare to make tea.
In the Qingshui Building, Wen Xiuxiu stood at the door, knocking melon seeds, looking at the direction where the emperor came, and she took a closer look at every person she passed. The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion...... After a few more looks, she was not the emperor, she lost her patience, "Let's go!" Go back to the house to sleep, I'm afraid the emperor won't come again tonight, I really don't know what I'm busy with all day long, I haven't come for several days. β
Yun Mei helped her into the house, "Niangniang, I heard that the emperor has been very busy recently, and he has been reviewing and folding until late at night every day, and now, it is estimated that he is still in the imperial study!" β
"Busy...... Just know busy, go, don't care, go to sleep. Wen Xiuxiu looked unhappy and complained very much.
Gonggong Chen saw Orange Creek coming from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Concubine Tong, why are you here?" β
"Is the emperor still busy?" Orange Creek looked at the imperial study and asked Gonggong Chen.
"No, it's so late, no matter how the slave persuades, the emperor won't listen, the slave will go to report, Niangniang, you persuade the long live lord with your heart, the dragon body is important." After Chen Gonggong finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go in to report.
"Grandpa Chen, please stay." Orange Creek motioned to Yu Lan to hand the things to Gonggong Chen, "This is for the emperor, you bring it in, and the palace will not go in to disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs, so that the emperor will be distracted, I am afraid that the emperor will be busy until late at night." After Orange Creek finished speaking, he turned around and left with Yu Lan.
Looking at the back of Orange Creek's departure, Gonggong Chen was a little puzzled, it was really rare to leave without even seeing Long Live Ye in the middle of the night.
Gonggong Chen brought the things in, "Your Majesty, eat something first and drink tea!" β
The emperor nodded, his eyes were still staring at the fold, he took the tea in Gonggong Chen's hand by feeling, took a sip and put it back on the table. "Chen Yu, you are getting more and more attentive, mint tea is also added with honey."
"How can a slave have such a mind! It was sent by Concubine Tong. β
When the emperor heard that it was Concubine Tong, he lifted the lid of another sugar water, and ate it when he picked it up, "What about her?" β
"Back to the emperor, the mother has already left, she said that she was afraid of delaying the emperor's handling of government affairs, so she would not let the servants report."
After eating a small bowl of sugar water, the emperor closed half of the folds, "Let's go, drive Kunning Palace." β
"Huh!" The emperor was finally willing to let go of the matter in his hand, and Gonggong Chen was happy.
When the emperor came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, the lights in the rest of the rooms had been extinguished. Only the bedroom of Orange Creek was still lit with a faint light, and the emperor sneaked into the room. Yu Lan, who was carrying the footwashing water, saw the emperor's light feet and lightly walked out of the room.
The emperor lifted the mosquito net, and Orange Creek was startled by the head that suddenly came in, covering her eyes and screaming. The emperor gently took her hand away, "It's me!" Look scares you. β
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Isn't it a review of the folds? Orange Creek sat up and hugged the emperor's neck.
"Knowingly, wasn't you attracted to me? How? Don't be angry anymore? The emperor pushed her hand away and lay on the bed, perhaps too tired, and he was reluctant to stand and speak.
Orange Creek also lay down side by side, "How dare the concubine?" β
"In the future, you will know that I am doing this for the good of Hongday, and I have snubbed you recently, and when I meet with the king of Mongolia, I will compensate you twice."
Orange Creek was very curious when she heard it, what did the Mongolian county king look like! This kind of meeting with the foreign minister should be accompanied by the queen, if she can win this opportunity, even if she is not a righteous queen, at least in the eyes of the world, she has the same treatment as a queen!
She had to strike while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never seen a Mongolian, so you let the concubine accompany you to meet you, okay?" β
The emperor thought for a moment, "Okay, anyway, the first queen is no longer here, I promise you." β
Orange Creek wanted to blurt out, "Didn't you want to make a concubine before?" "But if you think about it, the holy will is unpredictable, so don't take this risk. Now that the imperial concubine is in power, that person is not scheming, except for her, his concubine position is also considered below one person and above ten thousand.
It's just that she has no children by her side, and she can't get justice for Heber, even if she kills the person in front of her, she doesn't have the ability to command the world like Wu Zetian. We have to think about it in the long run, and then we will take the second position first.
Orange Creek was silent, and the emperor fell asleep by himself.
The next day, when Wen Xiuxiu heard that the emperor rested in Kunning Palace last night, it was like thunder, "Damn, you put on your sister's face to tempt me and cause me to enter this high wall, and now you are robbing my husband with me, how can you bear this hatred." β
"Niangniang, you dissipate your anger, it's hot, be careful of being angry."
Wen Xiuxiu threw the things on the table and the furnishings on the cabinet crackling. God, if you have seen Wen Xiuxiu in the past, you will definitely not recognize her now.
When Wen Xiuxiu was not so angry, Yun Mei said, "Niangniang, you go to the courtyard to sit down, and the slave maid asks people to clean up the house, in case the emperor comes, blame Niangniang." β
Although Wen Xiuxiu was not angry enough, she knew that what Yunmei said was reasonable, and she went out of the room with Yunmei.
Singing came not far away, "Let us live a chic life with red dust, ride horses and gallop to share the prosperity of the world......"
"Who is this? Early in the morning, what are you singing on your track? Wen Xiuxiu, who was still annoyed, heard the singing, and the anger was drawn out again.
"Niangniang, have you forgotten that there is still a master living in our Jingyang Palace? The status is not as high as yours, but you still live in the main palace. Yunmei said in a weird way, what a master who doesn't pick trouble and is uncomfortable.
"Shonomiya? Let's go, we have to go to the meeting, we had a relationship last time, and the birth is really pleasing, and even the voice can hook the soul. Wen Xiuxiu said, and asked Yunmei to help her go to the palace of concubines. I really don't want to wear these shoes, I'm unsteady and tired when I walk, and I have to help me out every time. β
"This can make the master extraordinarily expensive!"
When Wen Xiuxiu heard this, her heart was very sweet, and a weak smile appeared on her angry face.
"Who is this? Early in the morning, the ghost cried wolf. Seeing Concubine Yu, Wen Xiuxiu was unceremonious, and she spoke with hostility.
"The concubine has seen Sister Qianfei!" The gentle and virtuous concubine, of course, is a proper manner.
"I heard that you and Concubine Tong are good sisters?" Wen Xiuxiu pushed away Yun Mei, who was holding her, and walked crookedly to Concubine Yu.
"Thanks to Sister Tong, she doesn't dislike it, and she has always treated her sister like a sister." The naΓ―ve concubine answered truthfully.
"My sister? What a sister, I want to see if your sister has been wronged, how she stands up for you as a sister. She shook her body as she spoke, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Concubine Yu hurriedly reached out to help, Wen Xiuxiu grabbed her hand tightly, and the two fell to the ground.
The two maids hurriedly went to help their master, "Concubine Niangniang, what kind of heart do you have?" Why are you pushing my master? β
"I didn't, I'm helping my sister." Because it was summer, the clothes were thin, and the concubine's arms were worn out.
Xiangyun was worried about her master, and searched for the concubine, "Niangniang, are you injured?" When she opened the sleeve of the concubine and saw the bleeding wound, she said distressedly, "Niangniang, it's all bleeding, go back to the house quickly, and the slave will give you medicine." β
Wen Xiuxiu, whose bun was crooked, stood up and shouted, "Stop! Let Yunmei help her to the concubine and slap her in the face.
She wanted to fight again, but Xiangyun grabbed her arms with both hands and stopped her. "Why did you beat my master?"
"Why? Let this palace tell you why, the following crimes, want to murder this palace. Wen Xiuxiu kicked Xiangyun away, and slapped Concubine Yu a few times, and Concubine Yu was knocked to the ground. She shook her hand, "It's not a good job, my hands are about to break." β
Xiangyun cried and crawled to the side of Concubine Yu, "Niangniang, how are you?" β
"Yunmei, this damn slave, just now dared to contradict this palace and reward her with two slaps." Wen Xiuxiu pointed to the weeping incense cloud.
"Yes, slave and maid obey!" Yun Mei looked proud, walked up to the concubine's master and servant, lifted the incense cloud, and slapped her twice.
