Chapter 13: Patrol
Sun Wen inspected the calamus from head to toe, and said meaningfully: "What do you think is the use of me keeping you?" ”
"Now that you are the emperor, any woman in the world is at your fingertips."
"Gladiolus! Don't forget! How you betrayed me, I will ask for it back bit by bit. ”
Calamus sneered: "What else is there for the slave to ask for it?" ”
Sun Wen gasped and said forbearingly: "Of course there is." After speaking, he commanded, "Fu Rongbao." ”
Fu Rongbao was waiting anytime and anywhere, and immediately stepped forward when he heard the words: "What does the emperor command?" ”
"I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'll come to the East Palace." He stared at the calamus and said word by word, "The palace maid Tang calamus will be served." If you dare to disobey, I can let him die immediately. ”
Calamus slowly retracted and looked at him with a smile.
Sun Wen left with a body of anger, and Fu Rongbao hurriedly said to Calamus: "At this time, you'd better not go against the emperor, or obediently obey the holy decree." ”
After saying that, he hurriedly ran to follow.
Calamus watched the palace people surround Sun Wen and leave quickly, and her sadness rose sharply. He is no longer the crown prince of the East Palace, but the son of heaven who sits on the world in the Flying Frost Palace. He is an ant pinched in the palm of his hand, and life and death are involuntary.
For almost a whole day, Irisa was arranged to bathe, change clothes, coil her hair, comb her bun, and finally lie on the bed and wait for Sun Wen's arrival.
Like a concubine who is desperately waiting to sleep.
When the hour came, there was a louder voice outside, followed by the voice of the inner supervisor one after another: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Sun Wen seemed to want everyone to watch, and before he really carried out the enthronement ceremony, he began to favor a palace man named Tang Calamus. He not only wants to let Calamus not get Sun Qi, but also pushes her into the fire pit, so that her life is worse than death.
He was wearing a gray robe, and his expression was slightly gloomy, but after seeing Calamus, he couldn't help but smile: "You are obedient and didn't make trouble with me." ”
Calamus bit her lip and laughed at herself: "Isn't it humiliating for the slave to make trouble with you?" ”
Sun Wen sat down beside her: "You are smart, you know how to bring humiliation on yourself." Looking at a thin quilt covering her body, her white shoulder blades were slightly exposed, tickling people's hearts.
Unable to stand his unscrupulous eyes, Calamus simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.
Sun Wen reached out and ripped the quilt off her body and ordered, "Look at me." ”
Calamus felt deeply insulted, but she still opened her eyes and looked at him.
Sun Wen half-opened his clothes and said gloomily, "What are you doing?" ”
Calamus almost cried out, "I am just a slave, a slave without power or power, and I have no other way but to obey the wishes of men." I just want to have peaceful days, is that also wrong? ”
"Gladiolus!"
The iris slammed into the hard wall.
When Sun Wen reacted and pulled her, her head hit her hard and broke the bloodstream.
Calamus remembers the scene of that year: she was born in a merchant family, dressed in brocade and silk, and lived a prosperous life, but later due to the failure of her father's business, she owed debts, and the family fell into the middle of the road. In order to prevent the enemy from using her to pay off her debts, her mother had no choice but to send her to the palace as a palace maid.
I still remember my mother telling her at that time: "Calamus, your life is not for wealth and wealth, but for stability, you know?" ”
This sentence has also become the only luxury of calamus over the years.
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Calamus suddenly woke up from her nightmare and was covered in a cold sweat.
"Mother, are you awake?"
Calamus felt a pain in her whole head and covered it with her hand: "I ......"
The palace maid on the side said: "The emperor said that Niangniang accidentally knocked into the corner of the wall, and the injury was not light, so let you pay attention in the future." ”
Calamus frowned: "What about the emperor?" ”
The palace maid replied: "Today is the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and he left early in the morning. By the way, the emperor said that when Niangniang woke up, let the slave tell you that he chose a person named Biluo from among the servants to King Qi, so that you can remember to make a note. ”
Calamus was a little confused: "What are you calling me?" What's the deal with the last note? ”
The palace maid thought that she was injured, and patiently explained: "Niangniang has been in a coma all night, and she may not know that the emperor has appointed you as an internal maid official, and in the future, all matters in the harem will be handled by Niangniang." The slave maid heard that this inner servant used to be on duty as an internal supervisor, and Niangniang was the first female official, which shows that the emperor really treats Niangniang differently."
Calamus was shocked: "The maid officer? ”
The palace maid said humbly: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Sun Wen's chess is always played with lightning speed, making Calamus completely defenseless. Jin Feng was named the maid official, that is, Zhengda clearly revealed that Calamus was his person, so that Sun Qi's misunderstanding of Calamus could no longer be reversed.
And choosing a palace maid named Biluo to Sun Qi is to secretly warn Calamus that hitting the wall is not an example.
Seeing that Calamus was silent for a long time, the palace people cautiously asked, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
Seeing that she looked docile, Calamus shook her head slightly: "What's your name?" ”
"The slave's name is Ping'er, and she will serve Niangniang in the future, if Niangniang needs anything, just command."
"Where did you use to be on an errand?"
"The slave maid has just entered the palace, and there are many rules that I don't understand, I hope the mother will forgive me."
For the people arranged by her side, Calamus has always been suspicious, she has a good attitude towards Ping'er, but she does not reveal half a word.
Ping'er is a diligent person, serving hot tea, sending decoction medicine, and her movements are a little frizzy, but because she is a newcomer, and she doesn't know her details, Calamus is not to blame. At the moment of Shen, Ping'er came in with the inner supervisor of the Inner Servant Bureau: "The boss said that the emperor had just ascended the throne and had no time to take care of the concubines' bedding, and this matter was left to the mother's full power." ”
What a grandson!
and gave her the things that he had sinned against.
Calamus endured her anger, looked at the concubine title on the plate, and asked, "Why is He Liangdi promoted now?" ”
The inner supervisor said: "Beauty." ”
Calamus nodded, and said that He Meiren had slept with the queen slightly more than the other concubines who had just entered the palace.
In the Flying Frost Palace, Fu Rongbao walked in with the tray handed by the inner supervisor, and bowed his head in front of the dragon case: "Your Majesty, the maid has already made arrangements for the harem attendants to sleep this month. ”
Sun Wen didn't raise his head: "She must not have lined herself up, did she?" ”
After Calamus was promoted to the rank of maid official, she still lived in the East Palace, which shows the degree of her power.
A few days after she recuperated from her injuries, a concubine heard the news and came to visit. Unexpectedly, the first person to come to see her was Su Ruyuan.
Su Ruyuan jumped from the crown princess to the queen, and her identity is another matter.
Hearing that the queen was coming, Calamus was supported by Ping'er to welcome her out: "The concubine will see the queen's mother." ”
Su Ruyuan saw that she was injured, so she couldn't help but help her up, and said with a smile: "The people in the East Palace have all moved away to various dormitories, but you are still here." ”
Su Ruyuan helped Sun Wen to take advantage of his own affairs, Calamus kept it in mind, and she was extremely cautious about this woman's vigilance: "This is a holy decree, and the concubine has to obey." ”
"This shows that the emperor is still different from you."
Calamus smiled slightly: "The emperor is different, presumably the queen should know the intention behind it." ”
Sure enough, Su Ruyuan's face turned pale.
Calamus restrained her smile and said without being humble or arrogant: "Now that the queen has achieved her goal and has been successfully promoted from the crown princess to the queen of the world, what else is there to use the concubine?" The value of a concubine, a person with a humble status, should have been used up a long time ago. ”
"Tang Calamus, you are indeed very smart, you guessed that it was the palace and the emperor who joined forces to use you to bring down Concubine Xian's party."
"If the slave maid still doesn't understand, she will stay in the palace for eight years in vain."
Su Ruyuan's stunning face revealed a deep loss: "I did this entirely because I was the crown princess and the woman of His Royal Highness the prince, and he had to pay a lot of sacrifices in order to fulfill him." It's the same woman, and you're also hiberning by the prince's side for men, aren't you? ”
Calamus took a breath and asked calmly: "Since Concubine Xian is dead, and King Qi has also gone to the most remote back cover, what else does the emperor and the queen want to do?" ”
"This matter has nothing to do with the emperor, but just a person from the palace who came to you."
"If it's a concubine, the queen doesn't have to beat around the bush."
Su Ruyuan smiled lightly, with a little disdain in his smile: "With the current status of this palace, what do you think I want to harm you?" ”
Calamus lowered her head: "If the master wants to harm the slave, he doesn't need any reason. ”
"This is this time, but you are wrong," Su Ruyuan said, "I not only won't harm you, but also ask you for help." ”
"Help? The concubines are soft-spoken, I don't know what they can do to help the queen? ”
Su Ruyuan gently stroked her lower abdomen: "This palace is pregnant with a dragon species." ”
Yes? Calamus was slightly stunned.
She always thought that only He Liangdi was favored before, and Su Ruyuan was just an ornament, but she didn't expect that she not only secretly stood on the same front with Sun Wen, but even became pregnant with a dragon species.
Seeing that she was a little surprised, Su Ruyuan said: "Although the palace is now windy and rainy, the harem is an eventful place, and it is quite difficult to give birth to a dragon seed peacefully." ”
"I'm afraid that the concubine won't be able to shelter her mother from the wind and rain."
"You can." Su Ruyuan's gaze was fixed on Calamus's face, and her tone was earnest, "Now that you are a maid official, and any personnel in the harem must go through your hands, you can definitely know which woman wants to be unfavorable to the palace and the child at the earliest." ”
Calamus asked rhetorically: "But why should the concubine be so loyal to the mother?" ”
Su Ruyuan: "As long as this palace can give birth to the dragon seed smoothly, you can exchange anything you want." ”
"Including the Imperial Palace?"
"Leaving the palace?" Su Ruyuan slowly turned around and looked at Calamus in surprise, "You want to leave the palace?" ”
"Yes."
"Why?"
"The queen doesn't need to ask more about the slave and maid, as long as we ask for what we need."
Su Ruyuan said: "Your identity is a maid official, how easy is it to leave the palace?" ”
Calamus smiled slightly: "If it's easy, why should the slave make this deal with the queen?" The harem is full of blood, and it is not easy for the slaves and maids to protect the safety of the queen mother and the dragon species in the belly. In exchange for the safety of the queen mother and the dragon species, this deal should be worth it, right? ”
"Hongu promised you."
The corners of the calamus's lips curled into a smile.
One day, she will leave here, out of Sun Wen's sight.
She slept soundly, and the thought that she would be able to leave the palace soon, her tense heart was finally much more relaxed.
Tossed around, as if touching something, Calamus didn't pay attention to it, and then realized that something was wrong and hurriedly opened her eyes, and saw Sun Wen lying sideways on the side watching her sleep.
"Ho!" Calamus sat up in shock, "Emperor...... Emperor? ”
Sun Wen took off the robe of the crown prince and changed into a dark dragon robe, and the whole person suddenly became much deeper. Seeing that Calamus was so surprised, he didn't even frown, but smiled faintly and said: "The Inner Servant Bureau said that you will sleep tonight, and it seems that you are not prepared for anything." ”
Calamus's mind suddenly cleared up: "Today is the first day of the new year, according to the convention, the emperor should go to the queen's mother's ......"
"The queen is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to serve me. From now on, all the days when the queen sleeps will be yours. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Sun Wen flashed a cold light: "This is the holy decree." ”
Calamus stubbornly said: "Yes......"
Sun Wen looked at her like this, silent for a long time.
was stared at by him, and Calamus was about to get out of bed, but he shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you give me a wide coat? ”
Calamus could only do what she was told, she gently untied his belt for him, and reached out to remove the dragon robe from his body, revealing his sturdy body.
"You're blushing?"
"Nope."
She was reached out by him and grabbed her waist: "You don't believe it? Your face is blushing. ”
Calamus avoided him as much as possible: "Well......"
Before a word was spoken, his mouth was completely covered by Sun Wen, and he didn't have a chance to speak at all, so he was pressed heavily by Sun Wen's whole person, and he occasionally gasped: "This time, will you hit the wall to protect your innocence?" If you dare to make trouble with me again, I will let you never turn over at such a moment! ”
"Uh-huh......" Calamus made a slight sound and twitched her fingers.
"Woke up?"
She opened her eyes slightly and saw an unfamiliar face: "You are ......"
"The slave is Ping'er, has the mother forgotten?"
Calamus remembers, remembers that Sun Wen was on her, and she made her feel painful, and she licked and tasted blood, and then she didn't know anything.
She stroked her head with her hand: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Ping'er said worriedly: "The emperor said that the wound on Niangniang's forehead recurred and bled a lot and fainted. ”
Then the blood before the coma flowed from her wounds.
Calamus was reluctant to move, and Ping'er hurriedly said: "What does Niangniang want, the slave maid will give it to you." ”
"Water."
Ping'er was stunned: "When the slave came in, the mother was like this, but the bedding was replaced." ”
Calamus was stunned.
This nightgown is not his own, and he was not changed by Ping'er, so who will it be? Don't...... Is it Sun Wen?
As soon as she remembered that it was him, Calamus suddenly felt uneasy.
He hated her so much, how could he change her clothes?
There is nothing else to think about except ulterior motives.
"Mother?" Ping'er called her softly, "Did you hear that?" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
Ping'er was very patient, and said again: "Today is the day when the palace people of the Internal Service Bureau greet you, Niangniang is not in good health now, and she can't see them?" ”
Calamus then remembered that she was now an inner maid official, and when she thought of this identity to deal with the harem concubines every day, she was unspeakably unhappy. Now that Su Ruyuan wants her to help her shelter from the wind and rain in this position to protect the dragon species, she has to be even more cautious.
