Chapter 47: The New Year is Coming
Chapter Forty-Seven: The New Year Is Coming
"Say, how did those people die?" At the mention of this, the concubine was a little empty in her heart after all, and even a little scared.
"It's rumored to be a witchcraft outside!" The woman in black thought about it for a while, and then said carefully.
"Dangchang-" The teacup in the concubine's hand accidentally fell to the ground. Immediately, her face turned dead gray in an instant.
"Concubine—" Seeing this, the woman in black was immediately shocked, and hurriedly reached out to support her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's ghostly!" The concubine gritted her teeth and said, it seems that her hands are not clean.
"Concubine......" The woman in black opened her mouth to ask something, but finally held back again.
"Go ahead, the mourning family is a little tired today!" The concubine waved her hand. Only then did the woman in black bow down and retreat carefully.
Just after the woman in black withdrew, after a while, the concubine suddenly heard someone laugh softly, and couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Who?" ”
But in the darkness no one answered her. After all, the concubine had a ghost in her heart, and as soon as she returned to the palace, several people died around her one after another, and she was really unhappy in her heart. Therefore, when I heard this cold laughter, I felt an abrupt feeling in my heart, and turned around to look at it, the lights were shining brightly, and there was no one in the gorgeous and luxurious palace.
"Who?" The concubine shouted again.
"Hey...... hey" In the void, the cold laughter came again.
"Someone—" The concubine shuddered with fright, stood up, leaned on the back of her chair, and cried out loudly.
However, the palace maid and eunuch waiting outside were as if they were dead, and there was no sound at all, and the concubine screamed again, and there was still dead silence outside.
"Someone, someone—" the concubine cried out in one fell swoop, and at the same time, stumbling outside.
However, when the concubine ran to the main hall outside, she found that none of the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally on duty were gone. What's even more outrageous is that there are no lights in the hall outside, and it is pitch black.
"Someone—" The concubine cried out in fear. Voices echoed through the empty temple, but none of them answered her.
Suddenly, a gust of gloomy wind blew, and the concubine only felt cold all over, and then, the lights in her room were also reading: the net martial arts went out in an instant......
The concubine only felt that the sky was dark, and she fell to the ground.
Early in the morning of the second day, the concubine woke up, and the first thing was to announce the palace maids and eunuchs on duty last night, and the sixteen eunuchs on duty last night were on duty in the first half of the night and the second half of the night respectively, and the eight palace maids were the same, divided into two shifts.
However, these twenty-four people actually insisted that the dormitory was good last night, and the concubine rested early in the morning, and they were all outside, and they didn't hear any sound.
The concubine sleeps at night, and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty outside are naturally unable to break in if they don't hear the summons, so no one knows what happened inside.
Therefore, everyone said that the concubine may be overworked, so everything is a little useless, and the weather is cold, and she is also an old person after all.
Early this morning, the imperial doctor Xuan came to the palace to take a look, and he said the same.
"This palace has been very evil lately!" The concubine closed her eyes, and after a long time, she opened them again. "Is it haunted?"
This is the most likely thing she thought of, because, even if someone can buy one or two palace maids and eunuchs around her, it won't buy everyone and then collude to coax her, right?
The more the concubine thought about it, the more unsteady she became, and she saw that the New Year was approaching, so she made a decree to go to the temple to worship her ancestors.
Zhao Rui asked Mochizuki to prepare to worship her ancestors together, but Mochizuki refused on the grounds that she was unwell.
Zhao Rui had no choice but to give an order to Concubine Zhao Defei and Concubine Liu Xian, accompanied by the two of them.
The holy decree was issued, Concubine Zhao De and Concubine Liu Xian were overjoyed, and the other concubines had low status, but it was okay, but this concubine of Fengyi Palace naturally attracted everyone to talk about it, and at the end of the year, she went to the Taimiao Temple to worship her ancestors, but there was no her, does it mean that the emperor is tired of her?
Even Concubine Zhao Defei felt a lot of light on her face, that fox charmer, there was such a day, wouldn't she be very good at confusing the emperor?
But what Zhao Rui did next, but the concubines were puzzled again, the emperor still ran towards Fengyi Palace for three days, and the rewards of Fengyi Palace were still very rich, and it could even be said that as long as there was a reward in which palace and which courtyard, there would be no shortage of the one in Fengyi Palace.
Mochizuki is still the same as usual, living in seclusion when he has nothing to do, and occasionally walks along the lake in the afternoon.
Since the concubine returned to the palace, although the concubines were not required to salute in the morning and dusk, many concubines still inevitably went to the concubine's place to salute every morning, which is the rule in the palace and cannot be broken.
Even Concubine Zhao Defei and Concubine Liu Xian were the same, they didn't dare to slack off a little, but although Mochizuki knew, they ignored it - unless the concubine summoned her, she would definitely not set foot in the Jardine Palace.
All the people in the palace are despising her big name in their hearts, and they are all waiting in secret, once she loses her holy grace, I am afraid that it will be miserable.
But the problem is - although she didn't go to the temple to worship her ancestors, she is still in constant favor, and the emperor can let go of the concubines in the entire harem, but he can't bear her.
Only Li Yuquan vaguely guessed in his heart that Mochizuki was unwilling to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship her ancestors, not because the emperor didn't let her go, so the emperor was not happy.
On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was particularly busy, and the evening was a family banquet, and under the leadership of the concubine, a banquet was held in the Jardine Hall - the family banquet was no better than the state banquet, and naturally all the concubines had to go.
Mochizuki didn't want to go, the concubine had always seen her unwell, and she also saw that she was uncomfortable, and, in fact, the dishes at tonight's dinner, that is, ordinary auspicious dishes, were nothing good to eat—so she made an excuse that she was unwell and didn't go to the family banquet.
In the evening, she specially ordered the imperial dining room to get her some side dishes she liked, and even asked for a pot of osmanthus wine to eat by herself at night.
However, when he was holding the lamp just now, Li Yuquan actually carried Zhao Rui's jade bowl, and specially came over to ask: "The emperor has a decree, please go to the family banquet
Mochizuki was wearing ordinary homely clothes, and when he saw this, he frowned and said, "Gonggong Li, you just go back to the emperor and say, I'm not feeling well, don't you want to do it?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work" Li Yuquan felt that the cold sweat on his head was about to come out again, it was obviously very cold this day, why did he always break out in a cold sweat on his vest when he saw Mochizuki? Whether it is the ancestor worship of the Taimiao Temple or the family banquet of the Yihe Hall, all the concubines are vying to go, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, since Zhao Rui is not yet empressed, all the concubines can think of ways to pull the emperor to their own dormitory for this year.
This kind of meaning is extraordinary, doesn't this Concubine Hui know.
