Chapter 40: Choosing a Concubine?
I knew I was coming back for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so early.
Chu Jiu was physically and mentally exhausted, and she wanted to sleep.
It's not drowsiness, it's just that I want to get some sleep.
"Your Majesty, the Lord Regent is waiting in the Imperial Study." Chen An's voice came again at the door.
Chu Jiujiu stood up from the water, his graceful figure was unobstructed, covered with a layer of red veil, the white skin looming in the haze, the blow can be broken, the delicate collarbone, and the beautiful face.
She sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at herself for a long time.
I don't know if it's good or bad to come back this time.
It is inevitable to encounter wandering.
Looking at the eyes that were obviously less smiling and more vicissitudes, she smiled bitterly, and said lightly: "Chen An." ”
When the young man outside the door heard this, he hurriedly bowed in.
Walked up to Chu Jiujiu.
Still with his head down, he didn't dare to look directly.
It looks soft and glutinous, and it is very obedient.
I am afraid that this is the only person in the palace who can talk more and is not afraid of being exposed.
I only heard him ask in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want a slave to dress up for you?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Jiujiu nodded.
The whole person looks very enjoyable, Chen An combs his hair really lightly, the force is not light or heavy, as if he is massaging your scalp, and even the headache just now has dissipated.
"Chen An, how about we go on a patrol in Weifu?"
Chen An's hand paused, and he said, "Your Majesty, when do you want to leave?" ”
His hand combed up again, and added: "I'm afraid it won't work in the near future, the day of choosing a concubine is approaching, and the hunt can't be postponed any longer." ”
"Choosing a concubine?" Chu Jiujiu opened his eyes suddenly, staring at Chen An in the mirror in disbelief.
"Yes, for many years, Your Majesty has started to choose concubines in late June, and the ministers will send in their most virtuous and handsome men."
When Chu Jiujiu heard him, he suddenly thought of something and closed his eyes again.
It's really time to choose a concubine.
But among those men who were chosen, who wanted to enter the palace and face such a lascivious and ruthless empress?
I wish I had a serious illness, disfigured myself on the spot, and even committed suicide directly, I don't want to be so humiliated in my life.
When the time comes, let them make trouble and ignore them, and naturally they will have nothing to do with themselves.
Chu Jiujiu thought like this, and was also ready to do nothing.
But I'm thinking about hunting, this winter hunt in November, although it looks far away, but time has passed in the blink of an eye, how can I hold the thighs of the male and female protagonists in such a short time and keep myself alive?
You must know that this hunt is a drama of love between the male and female protagonists, and it is also the closest day to death.
Why don't you run away early?
"After choosing a concubine, I will pay a private visit for a month, how about it?"
A month is enough time to escape, and when the time comes, take Lusheng with you and escape.
Thinking about it, the corners of Chu Jiujiu's mouth rose slightly.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chen An did not dissuade her, but said, "Your Majesty, bring your servants with you, so that someone can take care of Your Majesty." ”
Thinking about it carefully, Chen An, a teenager who stayed in this palace, became scheming, and there was no happiness at all that belonged to this age.
Then bring it with you.
"Okay."
Chu Jiujiu responded.
Chen An lowered his eyes and snickered, the movements of his hands became more and more gentle, and the whole person was faintly excited.
Since entering the palace, he has never been out of the palace, he wants to go out, go out and have a look, just take a look.
He wanted to know if his father was doing well? What does my brother look like now?
Although his father sold him into the palace for ten taels of silver, wasn't it also for his younger brother?
He doesn't hate, he doesn't complain, he knows that this world is not easy, as long as he knows that people live well.
Although His Majesty's temperament has changed greatly now, he likes His Majesty very much now, and if he can continue to be like this, God will not treat him well.
——
Such as inside the fairy hall.
Lusheng stayed awake all night.
The overnight rain washed the entire palace clean, and the early morning glimmer sprinkled on the jade steps of the immortal hall, on the sky-blue veil.
Lu Sheng's steps are gentle, and his green shirt is in stark contrast to the jade steps under his feet, but they complement each other well.
The white magnolia flowers in the courtyard, after a night of wind and rain, have bloomed and failed, fell to the ground, stained with some dots of mud, the original budding orchids, overnight, all bloomed, competing for beauty, beautiful.
The eyelashes of the deer and butterflies trembled slightly, and the apricot eyes were filled with dewy white magnolia flowers, and the glimmer hit his handsome face, like a layer of gold leaf, shining brightly.
"Is this magnolia flower beautiful? Do you like it so much? The familiar coquettish voice sounded in Lu Sheng's ears again.
This time it wasn't as disgusting as before.
"Well, how are you?"
Looking at the man in front of him who was still pretending to be pretentious, wearing an indigo robe, he said.
"Fortunately, I'm not a weak boy, how can I compare to your weak body."
Hearing that Shangguan Yi had something to say, the corners of Lusheng's lips hooked slightly, and he squatted on the ground and picked up the magnolia flowers that were knocked down by the rain, "What's the matter, are you jealous?" ”
"After all, I have served Your Majesty for so many years, if you are not jealous, it is fake, Your Majesty protected you like that last night, it is the first time I have seen her protect a person like this, I am thinking how good it would be if that person was me."
Shangguan Yi's tone was no longer the nonsense of the past, and the whole person looked down at Lu Sheng, and his eyes were dyed with a thick sadness.
But last night, His Majesty pushed him to the ground for the sake of Lu Sheng.
Each whip was handing over his true heart, and he pulled out a bloody streak that was difficult to heal and suffocated.
Lu Sheng picked up the last magnolia flower, formed a bouquet in his hand, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and said, "Do the people of Yong'an Hou believe it?" ”
staged a-for-tat drama, but it was just to convince the people of Yong'an Hou that Shangguan Yi had not betrayed him, and could continue to let him lurk by Chang Chuan's side, better detect Chang Chuan's news, catch the loopholes, and catch them all.
"Well, it's just that if Your Majesty doesn't come at that time, how are you going to end up?"
Shangguan Yihu said suspiciously.
Lusheng can plan everything, but he has never said how to get out in the end.
"There's Chen An."
That's right, although His Majesty once said that he would not let Chen An take care of the affairs of the harem.
But Chen An has His Majesty's will in his hands to take care of Lusheng.
If something really happened to Lu Sheng, he would definitely die.
Therefore, even if Chen An exhausts all his connections in the palace, he will try his best to keep Lu Sheng.
It turned out that Lusheng had calculated everything from the beginning.
Shangguan Yi saw that his face was as warm as jade at the moment, a handsome son, a natural and harmless appearance, and his back was cold.
This kind of person is often the most terrifying existence.
Fortunately, they are not enemies.
"I seem to have been underestimating you all along." Shangguan Yi said sincerely.
Lu Sheng lowered his head and smiled, took a blue porcelain vase on the side, and inserted the magnolia flower into it, "Who is Yong'an Hou's next target?" ”
