Ruyi covered her body with a bright yellow red thread dragon slippery silk brocade, staring at a small piece of rain-soaked silk curtain on the window, the half-dry and half-wet traces like some kind of plant that has opened to erosion, exuding the smell of fragrant and withering. Her mind was irritable and frightened, and a thought passed through her secretly, that the emperor, who was over forty years old, began to show signs of aging.

The Emperor's tense body slackened uncontrollably, becoming a mess of soft, slippery flesh. Pampered for many years, the skin and flesh are smooth and elastic, mixed with the smell of sweat sticky after not being able to do it. She couldn't help but grieve at this man who was seven years older than herself, but how could she dare to show such emotions. Finally, he restrained his mind and said softly as much as he could: "The emperor is too tired. She covered the quilt for him, "Your Majesty, let's sleep for a while and rest." ”

The Emperor flipped his body over, turned his back towards the empty space, his lips trembled, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't believe it." ”

The emperor has always respected his identity, attaches great importance to the distinction between respect and inferiority, and rarely calls himself "I" in front of others, that is, Ruyi has accompanied him for many years, and in the days after he ascended the throne, he rarely heard him call himself like this.

He was silent and shouted outward: "Li Yu, Li Yu! Where's my ginseng soup? ”

Such a shout contained a certain violent atmosphere, and Li Yu didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly came up with the ginseng soup. The emperor drank it in one gulp, smashed the enamel and gold bowl out, and shouted: "Get out!" ”

Li Yu was so frightened that he crawled out. Before the emperor could close the heavy hall door, he turned onto Ruyi's body again and shouted in a low voice: "Come again!" ”

This tone is an unquestionable command. The Emperor's gestures were very forceful, as if he was venting something with great force. Under the translucent shadow gauze, the dragon on the quilt seemed to be alive, wrapping around a woman's full body. Ruyi endured the pain coming from her body, biting her lip hard, making the sound more like a kind of uncontrollable moan. She couldn't feel the joy coming, so she could only stare at the top of the tent. The faint flame of the candle shone on the tent, and the jasper ornament painted on it shone with the brilliance of seven treasures of glass.

It was so dazzling that it looked like a sharp thorn in the night, piercing the heart. Ruyi counted the number of ears one by one to resist the confusion after having nothing to do. For a long time, the emperor's spiritual energy was not called back by the bowl of ginseng soup, he collapsed his weak body, and kissed Ruyi's earlobe weakly and perfunctorily: "You come." ”

Ruyi understood the meaning of this sentence, so when her lips kissed the emperor's body, she only felt a crimson fire shadow trembling and burning in her blood, like a wildfire, burning the thick night into lustful beauty.

However, in vain. The fire didn't reach the emperor's body after all. In the end, even the emperor himself got impatient, pushed her away, and turned sideways. The dormitory was quiet, and even the sound of slow, sluggish breathing could be heard clearly. The emperor didn't know if he was asleep, but the hot breath on his body gradually dissipated, leaving only traces of cold sweat, wet and greasy. Ruyi fumbled and quietly changed into her bedclothes, wrapped in a quilt and curled up in a ball. In the huge bed tent, there was a faint and dim light, and the loneliness and emptiness were also dizzy, gradually obliterating all the gaps in the tent.

Ruyi listened to the sound of the rain outside, leaning on the pillow and secretly feeling sad. The gauze embroidered palace lamps outside the window fluttered in the wind and rain at night, and a rustling sound sounded on the withered and yellowed plantains and yellow flowers piled up all over the ground in the courtyard. On such a rainy night, many once-lush plants are quietly waiting to rot.

Ruyi thought gloomily, it turned out that this is how the good times passed. Not only energy, but also physical decadence. And she, too, slowly stepped into unpredictable aging with him, step by step towards whiteness. She thought like this, turned around, hugged the emperor from behind, and wanted to confide in him, he would be old, and she would be old. It doesn't matter that the joy of love between men and women will one day pass away in them. The so-called mutual foam is not just about warming each other with bodily fluids. If you can, the ten fingers in the silk tent are interlocked, and you can sleep on the pillow and talk all night, and you can reveal the deep affection of each other in the shallow place where the body is obsessed.

Just like that, how dare she say it. Especially after a long time, the emperor said in a sparse voice: "Ruyi, am I old?" ”

She had to hug him more and more tightly, and said gently, "No." The emperor is just worried about national affairs, too tired. As long as you take it slowly, your spirit will come back. ”

Indeed, the emperor is busy and tired these days. Since the Yellow River broke in Yangwu Thirteen Forts in Henan Province in July, the emperor reinstated Gao Bin, the father of the much-deprecated Huixian Emperor's concubine, to go to Henan to run the Yangwu River Work. This seems to mean that the Gao family's revenge is a sign of grace, and Gao Bin is naturally doing his best to do this hard errand of breaking the Yellow River in Yangwu, Henan.

The events of the previous dynasty were complicated. Although Ruyi doesn't like Gao Bin's comeback, she is also used to not expressing it easily. The Emperor asked wearily, "Really?" Am I just tired? ”

Ruyi shook her head vigorously and said, "Naturally." Isn't Concubine Jia pregnant again? How can the emperor be old? ”

The Emperor nodded weakly, and the Ruyi Twisted Gold Silk Tent hung down one after another, isolating the two lonely figures from the crowd. What they have is not only the sigh of the cold in the high place, but also the deep fear that the world will have, after the approach of old age.

Yuyan's re-pregnancy was shortly after Yihuan gave birth to her tenth elder brother. This good news is enough to make her once uneasy, who has been punished after being reinstated, to be proud again. However, no matter how proud he is, he will not relax at all for Ruyi.

Also. For a woman who has been in constant favor since entering the palace, it is indeed very gratifying to get pregnant again at the age of thirty-eight. This is enough to comfort Yuyan's grief and sadness for the loss of Brother Jiu, and it also means that her long-term grace in front of the emperor will not fade. This is enough to envy all the women in the palace.

On that day, in the scorching summer weather, Yuyan watched with interest as the concubines asked Ruyi for peace one by one, with one hand on her abdomen, looking at Ruyi with a smile, and refused to get up for a long time.

Ruyi has been in the palace for a long time, how can she attack her for this little thing, so she just smiled: "If Concubine Jia serves the emperor so softly, this palace will not force Concubine Jia." ”

Yuyan stood up in response to her gaze, slowly stroked her flat lower abdomen, and raised her face proudly: "Let the queen mother bother." The concubine is only pregnant again, so she is a little slow to get up...... "As she spoke, she was about to vomit, and quickly had the palace maid serve tea for her, caress her breasts, and was busy.

Lu Yun was a little disdainful of Yuyan's hypocrisy, covered her nose with a silk, and whispered disdainfully to Hailan: "Look at her like that, like no one has ever given birth to a child." ”

Hailan Bei showed his teeth lightly and smiled slightly: "Of course it's not easy to have it at this age." She said softly, but biting on the words "this age" made both women laugh out loud.

Yuyan didn't pay attention to them, just slanted her phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at Yan Wan and said: "Actually, where is the grace of rain and dew in this palace compared to Sister Ling, it's just that Sister Ling's stomach is a little bit uncompetitive." ”

At this time, Concubine Qing was also a little displeased: "Sister Concubine Ling is still young, and she is not afraid of having no children." ”

Yuyan smiled contemptuously and said proudly, "Really? ”

Ruyi felt the slight coolness of the thin clouds after the scorching sun shining through the palace, she smiled as faintly as a floating cloud, and said slowly: "Concubine Jia is not the first time to be a mother, so don't be careful." If you have something to say, just say it slowly. ”

Yuyan smiled coquettishly, looked directly at Ruyi, and said to each other with a proud attitude: "The concubines are pregnant again and again, and the queen mother is really sorry." Speaking of which, the queen mother herself has no children, and she has to take care of the dragon fetus of her concubines, which is probably a lot of trouble. ”

The red gold and red orb armor in Yuyan's hand was too dazzling, and it flowed out in the sunlight with a dazzling glow like needles, which made people feel unpleasant like her words.

The green tendons in Ruyi's temples jumped, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and Rong Pei smiled: "The queen mother raises the fifth elder brother, and she is the mother of all the elder brother princesses, so she naturally takes care of every imperial heir properly." In addition to the queen mother, who else can and who deserves to handle this heart? As long as Concubine Jia is careful, the dragon fetus will naturally be safe and stable in your belly. ”

Yuyan's eyes turned sharply on Rong Pei's face, and she smiled and helped the red gold beads on the half-moon bun: "It's not." The queen mother is the mother of all the royal heirs, and in order to take care of them fairly and impartially, even if she is wronged and has no children for the time being, she should be. In the end, the concubines are short-sighted, not as benevolent as the mother's house, and far-reaching. ”

Yuyan said this, but her hand was on her abdomen, revealing an infinite smugness. Ruyi was slightly gloomy, but her face maintained the majesty and kindness that a queen should have, looking straight ahead, silently hiding her silent pain under the calm.

After Yuyan left triumphantly, Ruyi said sadly: "I usually say that Concubine Jia is mean and frivolous, but her blessing is so good, she has been pregnant with a dragon fetus again and again after serving the emperor for so many years. Whether it's a man or a woman, that's always a blessing for mothers. ”

Rong Pei bit her lip and said in a low voice: "It's just that I can give birth to a child, what's the big deal." With the mother here, she can still turn the sky upside down. ”

Ruyi became more and more gloomy. Perhaps, the emperor's unexpected failure last night revealed the tragedy that she could not conceive for life. She was silent like this, and Yuyan's high-spirited laughter swirled in her mind, and she suddenly felt a little disgusted.

But such emotions will be misunderstood by the emperor, who has always been sensitive. She could only endure it as much as she could, thinking boredly, it was only the beginning of September, why did the autumn cool come so early?
