318.Chapter 318: The Battle of the Harem: Protection

"That person's name is Huang Tianba."

Originally, Chang Qing was talking to me, and all the concubines around were waiting with bated breath, and the whole Lanxiang House was quiet, and in this silence, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around, only to see a delicate figure walking in from outside the gate.

As soon as Chang Qing saw her, she immediately smiled and said, "The eldest princess is back." ”

The eldest princess Pei Yuanzhen, when I saw this young princess, my heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, maybe because from that beautiful and still a little childish face, I could faintly see the shadow of another person, that is, her brother who was covered in blood in the sea of fire, but still missed Huang Tianba, the former cloud king Pei Yuanchen.

I heard that not long after Pei Yuanhao ascended the throne, their mother became a monk, and the emperor built a nunnery for Zhao Shuyuan in his hometown, sent many people to serve, and canonized Pei Yuanzhen as the eldest princess, and let her accompany her mother for a period of time.

Speaking of which, although Pei Yuanchen's death was "unclear", the emperor really "treated" the family of the late King Yun.

As soon as the surrounding concubines saw her, they all came forward to greet her, Pei Yuanzhen saluted them one by one, and then walked over with a smile: "I don't know why Sister Queen asked about that person?" ”

"Ask by the way," Chang Qing smiled: "I just didn't expect that the eldest princess still remembers." ”

"Yes, he lived in the Yunwang Mansion for a while, and my deceased imperial brother was very fond of him, such a person, it is difficult to forget." Pei Yuanzhen smiled and said, "I heard that he is still from Jiangnan. ”

Speaking of this, she turned to look at Liu Li and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Liu Zhaoyi's father seems to have been harmed by those barbarians in the south, right?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Liu Li's originally cold face turned a little paler.

After a pause, she said, "Those untouchables in the south, it's not a pity to die!" ”

Lan Xiang Curie was originally warm, but her words came out, but it seemed to blow a cold wind, I subconsciously shivered, looked up at the beautiful face, and my fingertips trembled slightly.

In her eyes, I saw a hatred that went deep into the bone marrow.

It seems that Liu Shizhou was harmed by the people in the Huisheng medicine shop, which is a great harm to her, but I didn't expect her hatred to be so deep, and I faintly felt a little uneasy.

Everyone looked at each other, and after being speechless for a while, they heard Lu Shuyi smile and said, "Interesting." I heard that Liu Zhaoyi's elder brother wrote to the court a while ago, asking the emperor to depose the untouchables of the three southern provinces, why did Zhaoyi hate the people in the south so much. ”

"Brother is brother, I am me." Liu Zhaoyi said lightly, and glanced at her again: "When the waiter of the Criminal Department wrote against it, he may not have asked Shuyi's opinion." ”

Seeing that the tone of the two of them was a little tense, Chang Qing interrupted them and said, "Okay, these are all government affairs, don't discuss it in the harem." ”

The two said together, "Yes." ”

Chang Qing glanced back at Pei Yuanzhen and said with a smile: "I wonder why the eldest princess came here?" ”

"Oh, I went out on a long trip and brought you some light gifts back, I heard that everyone came to see Xu Cairen, and it was rare to get together, so I didn't send them one by one."

As soon as she said that, the maid behind her came over and distributed the gifts she brought to the concubines, and everyone laughed for a while, and then dispersed.

I was used to leaving with Shen Rou, but at this time it was close to lunch time, so I stayed to serve Xu Cairen, and when everyone left, Yuwen helped open the eldest princess and sent a gift, it turned out to be a box of incense, as soon as I opened it, I smelled a faint fresh smell.

Yuwen smiled: "The eldest princess has a heart. The smell of this fragrance is truly elegant. ”

Xu Cairen nodded with a smile and ordered, "Yuwen, put it away." ”

"Yes."

I walked up to her and said softly: "Xu Cairen, I don't know what Cairen wants to use for lunch, the slave maid went to order the imperial dining room to prepare." ”

Xu Cairen and Yuwen glanced at me, there was some wariness in their eyes, and I understood it very well, but I looked at them with a very calm smile, Xu Cairen thought for a while, and said, "It's good to have some light, I don't have much appetite." ”

"Yes, the slave will go and command."

I have never served a pregnant woman, but I have also heard that I have no appetite to eat when I am happy, and some things may have happened before, Xu Cairen is very careful, and I didn't eat much for lunch, and Shen Rou almost didn't ask about her, and in the evening, I asked the imperial dining room to make some sour and cool things for her.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that the atmosphere was not right, and I was about to exit, when I heard the familiar voice say, "Why are you here?" ”

Pei Yuanhao was sitting at the table, still holding Xu Cairen's hand with one hand, but he had already turned his head to see me and frowned.

I stepped forward and saluted and said, "The noble concubine asked the slave maid to come over and take care of Xu Cairen's diet. ”

"Oh?"

He frowned again, and with a wave of my hand, I let the little eunuch in the imperial dining room behind me walk in, and brought out a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, a plate of vinegared fish, a plate of stewed silver silk and a plate of crystal plum blossom buns from the food box. As soon as Xu Cairen saw these dishes, his eyes lit up, and Yuwen on the side said softly: "Cairen, aren't you just trying to eat these dishes?" Did you tell her to go? ”

"No ......" Xu Cairen shook his head, looked up at me again, and said with a smile: "It's bothered." ”

"Don't say that, please use it."

After speaking, I presented a pair of ivory and silver-inlaid chopsticks, Pei Yuanhao sat there, kept looking at me, Xu Cairen said softly: "Your Majesty, let's use a little with the concubines." ”

"It's okay, you eat more."

The two of them sat down and began to eat. Maybe it's because the emperor is next to him, Xu Cairen's appetite is much better, Pei Yuanhao sandwiched some dishes for her, and the two of them both had a smile between their eyebrows, and after eating, they served them and rinsed their mouths, and I said: "Cairen have a good rest, and the slave and maid go back to the mother." ”

"Okay, there you go."

I just turned around to leave, but I heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Okay, I'll also go over and take a look, your business, and let the concubine keep an eye on it." ”

When Xu Cairen heard this, he hurriedly stood up, Pei Yuanhao held her shoulders and asked her to sit down, and said, "Have a good rest, I will come to see you again when I have time." ”

"Yes. The concubine sent the emperor. ”

Xu Cairen and Yuwen respectfully sent to the door, my steps were still a little hesitant, Pei Yuanhao had already walked to the front, and looked back at me: "Don't lead the way yet?" ”

I bit my lower lip and walked over slowly.

At this time, it was not too late, the afterglow of the sunset shone in the garden, a field of flowers and plants was luxuriant, and because it was the time for dinner, there was almost no one in the garden, Yu Gonggong and Ning Yan were originally following him, and he made a look, and they all followed from afar, only the footsteps of me and him echoed in the corridor, which sounded particularly alarming.

I almost couldn't wait to run to Shen Rou as soon as possible, but the person behind me was unhurried, and every step seemed to be stepping on my heart, making people's heartbeat almost go out of order.

At that moment, I heard his deep voice ringing in my ears.

"You must know that if you make a small mistake, I can send you back to the cold palace."

I froze and looked back at him.

His face was as serene as ever, and the golden light of the setting sun shone on his face, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold paint, not only hard, but even warm.

I suddenly realized what he meant.

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, and I said respectfully to him: "Slave, you must not make this mistake!" ”

His face froze, staring at me, a hint of anger on his resolute face, and I gently lowered my eyelids, turned and walked on.

The atmosphere along the way was almost so overwhelming that people couldn't breathe, and when I walked into Shen Rou's house, my back was already wet and cold, and I was in a cold sweat, but Shen Rou had already greeted him, like a boneless body gently snuggled into his arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine thought that the emperor would not come to see the concubine tonight." ”

Pei Yuanhao looked down at the beauty in his arms and smiled faintly: "Why not?" ”

"Who let the concubine fail to conceive a dragon seed for the emperor?"

"Who says you can't?" Pei Yuanhao stretched out his finger and gently picked her delicate chin: "I will let you ...... now"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Rou's coquettish smile, and the two of them hugged each other and walked towards the inner room.

I had only one foot in the house, but I retreated at this time, and the people in the room also retreated, and Mingzhu walked up to me and said, "Niangniang has ordered you to serve, and you will go to the night tonight." ”

I didn't say anything, nodded silently.

The people who followed Shen Rou all retreated, and at this time a gust of incense blew out, and when I looked up, it was Ning Yan who walked in front of me, seeing that her makeup was exquisite, and the spices she used were also excellent, although she was not as beautiful as Shen Rou, she was also outstanding among the palace maids.

It seems that she is still not willing to be a female attendant.

Ning Yan looked at me and sneered: "In the past, you were guarding outside, but now, why didn't you go in for a day." ”

I smiled a little and looked at her, "If you want to go in, I can help you find a way." ”

Her face froze, she snorted coldly, and walked away.

There was still no expression on my face, just standing there blankly, but I heard a long sigh, and when I turned my head to look, it was Father-in-law Yu who looked at me, his face was a little sad, and I walked over slowly: "Father-in-law." ”

"Young girl, how are you-"

His gray eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if he was very worried about my current appearance, I smiled softly, looked around, pulled him to a secluded place in the corner, and said softly: "Father-in-law Yu, Qingying has something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Liu Yi wrote to the emperor to depose the untouchable nationality of the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, what is the emperor's plan?"

Father-in-law Yu looked at me, and his face became ugly: "Young girl, you must know that the harem-"

"The harem can't discuss the government in vain, this young baby knows." I hurriedly said: "It's just that I also followed the emperor to Jiangnan at the beginning, so I paid more attention to this matter, and I bothered to ask Father-in-law Yu to ......."

With that, I handed him a piece of silver.
