Affectionate but Ruthlessly Annoyed
Nagato’s Complaint: The Rising Career
of the Abandoned White Moonlight “Sister!”
When Zhangsun Qiuyan was about to say more, he suddenly heard someone knocking at the door outside.
“The princess, Su Changshi and the King of Jiangdu have come to take the princess back.” Cried the red flaw outside.
Qiu Yan’s face turned cold and he was very angry. “He’s really annoying.”
Qiushui smiled and urged her to get up. “Since the King of Jiangdu has come to pick you up, change your clothes and go back early, so he won’t be impatient.”
Qiu Yan had no choice but to get up and change her clothes at random. “Just wait, sister,” she said. “I’ll come and see you in a couple of days.”
“Mmm.”
Qiushui nodded, accompanied by Chen Baolin, sent her and Jiangdu Wang out of the door.
Chen Pao-lin looks at the back of Chiu Yan and smiles: “I really envy the princess.”
When Qiushui heard this, he couldn’t help laughing and said, “She’s got a temper like that of a charcoal. There’s nothing to envy. Empress Baolin has a much better temper than she does.” “Speaking of temperament,” said
Lu Hui, “compared to the Empress of Jiangdu, our Empress Baolin is more like the younger sister of the people of the Autumn Palace.”
Both of them are equally indifferent, tolerant and merciful.
Seeing that she had said such a disrespectful thing, the two of them were not annoyed. They just looked at each other and smiled. Chen Pao-lin added, “The princess’s temper is still the same as in previous years, like a child.”
Qiushui shook her head helplessly. “But she’s not a child after all.” It’s not necessarily a good thing to
always be so capricious.
“Did she make trouble again today?” Qiushui thought about what must have happened at the family dinner tonight.
Chen Pao-lin didn’t hide it from her. He told her how Qiu Yan had taken out her anger on Jinhua Terrace. He added, “But even if it was like that, Your Majesty didn’t criticize the princess too much. Sister Qiu Shui can rest assured.”
Alas, how can she rest assured? When Qiuyan comes again in the future, she must talk about her well.
“Has the King of Jiangdu gone back?” In the stillness of the
night, the light and shadow in the Xuanshi Hall were burning. The young king was sitting on the couch, holding a teacup to sober up. When he saw Su Wen coming in, he couldn’t help asking.
Su Wen answered yes. “Where is Princess Jiangdu?”
He asked.
“The princess has also been brought back by the King of Jiangdu.”
“Mmm.” Liu Chang nodded, but at last his brother knew the rules. Then he asked, “Do you know what Princess Jiangdu did at Yilin Hsuan?”
“He said his clothes were wet, so he went to change his clothes and sat talking for a while.”
“Oh, what did you say?” Liu Chang changed his position and half sat up. He knew very well
why Zhangsun Qiuyan went to Yilin Xuanzhong to change his clothes. Yilin Xuan has her sister, the last time the two sisters did not say a word, this time Qiuyan to Yilin Xuan will not be silent.
When Su Wen heard the king ask about it, he hesitated for a moment. Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Chang caught a glimpse of him. His face darkened slightly. “I’m sure Princess Jiangdu didn’t say anything good about me,” she sneered.
If not, how could his Zhongchang attendants dare not say much?
“That’s not..” When Su Wen saw that the king’s face was not good, he bowed slightly and told him softly what he had heard. The more
Liu Chang listened, the more gloomy his eyes became. In the end, he was so angry that he broke the cup all over the floor. “It seems that I have really indulged her too much. She can say such perverse words!”! Ye court cheap maidservant, is she said to go to go! I can’t pretend that this palace is her Jiangdu Palace!
“Your Majesty is not angry.” Su Wen was startled. Although he knew that the king would have such a reaction, when he really faced it, his heart was still beating wildly. He quickly knelt down and said, “The princess is probably just saying angry words. Besides..” Besides, the people of the Autumn Palace have never promised her.
“How dare she!”
Liu Chang was so furious that he suddenly pointed to Su Wen and said, “Go and deliver my decree now. In the future, the Princess of Jiangdu will not be allowed to enter the palace without a summons.”
“Promise.” Su Wen hurriedly answered, but there was a sigh in his heart. The princess
of Jiangdu made trouble with the queen mother, but the king was not angry. She beat all the concubines, but the king was not angry either. As soon as the matter was involved in the abolition, the king was very angry. Chen Baolin
really guessed right.
But he did not say no, it is Jiangdu Princess is too absurd, if she really asked her to take away Zhangsun Qiushui later, she is not the only one who is unlucky.
“Lady Baolin, Lady Baolin, come on, meet us. Your Majesty is coming to us.” On the last day at the end of the
month, Lu Hui and others thought that the king would not come to Yilin Xuan again, but they did not expect to get the news from Su Wen. Surprised and delighted, the
two maids rushed into the room to dress and change Chen Baolin.
Chen Pao-lin looked at the two of them with a smile and said, “What are you panicking about? It’s not like your majesty hasn’t been here in the past. Just follow the old rules.”
“That’s not possible,” Chi Xia said as she compared the jade pendant to her ear. “It’s not that the maidservant talks too much about the Baolin Empress, but if the Empress is as attentive to Your Majesty as Xu Liangren, she won’t condescend to be in this Yilin Xuan for so many years. Look at Xu Liangren, just change the bun a pattern, let the king happy and happy, immediately promoted the position. When the empress dresses up, she looks much better than Hsu Liang-jen. I don’t know if she can be promoted to the position of a good man.
“Hsu Liang-jen asked for favors because her elder brother’s career as an official was not going well. Why should I learn from her?”.
Chen Pao-lin patted Chihsia’s hand and pointed to the most simple and elegant autumn leaf pendant in the box: “Let’s go back to the usual pair.”
Her father has returned home from illness, there are no brothers in the family, she is only a daughter, why bother to stretch his neck to drill camp, do those people look down on the activities?
Chi-hsia was not pleased, so she replaced the jade pendant and said, “Even so, the empress can’t be too careless.” For a moment, I combed her hair and dressed her neatly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, I leaned close to Chen Pao-lin’s ear and whispered, “She’s from the Autumn Palace.” There’s something special about her status. Let the maidservant and the green Cymbidium come and serve her today.
Chen Pao-lin paused for a moment, then nodded: “All right, Princess Jiangdu came over yesterday and said a lot of things. Sister Qiushui must be feeling sad. Let her rest early tonight.”
“Promise.” Chi Xian crouched and promised.
By the time the emperor arrived, the house had been swept clean inside and outside.
Liu Chang was dressed in a deep white moon suit. He did not wear a crown. He only used a jade hairpin to tie up his hair in a bun. His forehead and eyebrows were high and broad, and his nose and eyes were straight. He faded a little of the color of a king, but he had the spirit of a noble man in Chang’an.
As soon as I came in, I saw that the flowers and trees in the courtyard had been through the rain several times, and they looked much more lush than last time. “Chen Pao-lin is very good at taking care of the flowers and trees,” he said.
Chen Pao-lin praised him, asked him to sit down in the room, and ordered people to offer the four treasures of cooking tea and prepare tea for him personally.
Liu Chang looked around, his eyes fell on the basket on one side of the couch, and when he saw several unfinished pendants piled up in it, he ordered people to take them over and look at them one by one.
Chen Pao-lin hurriedly said, “As soon as the Qiqiao Festival is approaching, it’s all stuff made by my concubines in the same palace.”
“Mmm.” Liu Chang nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the basket embroidered with bluegrass, and subconsciously took a look at it.
Seeing that the orchid grass had both abdomen and back, it was really a twin embroidery.
He recalled that in the past, there were always such patterns on the things he wore, which were embroidered by the queen of the past year.
She entered the palace at an early age and learned from a master. She was very outstanding in embroidery, and unlike others who loved peony and peony, she only loved orchid grass, saying that she had the ambition of a gentleman, so the things she embroidered could not avoid orchid grass.
Later, he banished her to Nagato, and ordered people to throw away all the things he had brought with him, but he hadn’t seen her embroidery for some years. See you again
this time, still recognize at a glance, turn over in the hand to see for a long time before putting down.
Just then Chen Pao-lin also cooked the tea and served it to him. “Please, Your Majesty, have a taste of my cooking.”
He took a sip of the tea, which was fragrant and had a lingering aftertaste. “Paolin is also very good at making tea,” he said.
Chen Baolin smiled shyly, and the corners of his eyes and the tips of his eyebrows looked like her.
His eyes moved unconsciously, turned slightly, and did not see the man around, I do not know whether to hide, or do something else to go.
Chen Baolin’s art Lin Xuan in the past he also came, that will only feel lonely, like Chen Baolin in general, do not quarrel, temper like that person, really let him hate.
Today is probably let the words brought back by Su Wen yesterday angry, and then look at Yilin Xuan, and feel very cramped, she may also have the idea of going out here.
When they had finished their tea, they sat down with Chen Pao-lin in silence. Liu Chang stood up impatiently and said, “It’s already late at night. The Empress Dowager has passed away not long ago. I can’t stay overnight. I’m going back now. Pao-lin should rest early.”
“Yes.”
He had been like this for days, not only because he didn’t stay overnight with her, but because Chen Baolin was not surprised, he quickly got up to see her off.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, he suddenly saw the king stop again. He said in a calm voice, “I know that Baolin has always been docile. He won’t do something he shouldn’t do. It’s very reassuring for me.”. In the future, Paolin should do the same. He must not listen to others and do anything to disappoint me.
“Promise, my concubine will obey your majesty’s instructions.” Chen Baolin bowed and answered.
Liu Chang pursed his lips and then ordered the dragon chariot to drive.
Lu Hui and Chi Xia hurried forward to help Chen Pao-lin up. Looking at the back of the palace chariot, they were a little unwilling: How long have you been sitting here, and Your Majesty has gone back? Empress Paolin, you should speak more to Your Majesty. Hasn’t
she said enough?
Chen Baolin squinted slightly and watched the palace car disappear into the night bit by bit.
Just now in the courtyard, the king’s words were not only addressed to her, but also to the man in the room.
I think it was Su Changshi who told the king what he had heard yesterday.
She expected that the king would be angry, but she did not expect that he would come here personally to warn her not to act rashly and not to listen to Princess Jiangdu.
“Green Hui, when you’re free tomorrow, go and ask Su Changshi what your majesty has said.” She waved her hand and whispered orders to Lvhui. In the
blink of an eye, Tanabata has arrived.
If in the folk, Tanabata this day, to build incense bridge. The so-called incense bridge is a bridge about four or five meters long, which is built with all kinds of thick and long incense wrapped around the head. It is equipped with railings in a decent way, and then decorated with flowers made of five-color lines on the railings. After nightfall, after offering sacrifices to the double stars and begging for good fortune, people will burn the incense bridge, symbolizing that the double stars have passed through the incense bridge and meet happily, so as to seek a good marriage.
Qixi Festival also has the custom of threading the needle and begging skillfully, that is, women compete to thread the needle and see who wears fast, which means the more skillful they beg. Although the
palace is not as lively as the outside, but the masters are promised Tanabata can not be close to wait on, enjoy themselves, the palace women will also look forward to this day every year.
What’s more, it’s not just for entertainment, but if someone is skillful and has a good embroidery pattern, the masters will be happy to see it, and there will be a reward, so all the women in the palace have shown their housekeeping skills.
Liu Chang also placed a pile of embroidery in front of him, all of which were sent by the empresses of the palace. As usual, he made a bet that if the king left one, it would mean that one had won the first prize, which was always enviable.
Liu Chang rummaged through a pile of embroideries on the table. After a long time, he asked Su Wen, “Are all the things sent here?”
Su Wen smiled and nodded, “They’re all set up. Last year Wei Shaoshi and Chang Shunchang arrived late, so they couldn’t catch up. This year the empresses of the two palaces also sent embroidery.” That’s not what
he’s asking.
Liu Chang frowned and looked through it again. “What did Chen Pao-lin give you?” He asked.
“Oh, that’s an eight-treasure fan cover from the Empress Paolin.”
Fan cover? Where are the tapestries she embroidered? Why did you send a fan cover to a
good basket of clothes?
Liu Chang was a little displeased and stopped: “In previous years, the embroidery room in the palace made so many fan covers. Why bother to do that?”
This.. What Empress Paolin does is not the same as what Embroidery House Embroidery Lady does. Su Wen-lue put in a good word for Chen Pao-lin, and seeing the king wriggling on his couch, he said, “Which one did Your Majesty keep this year?”
Liu Chang was in a bad mood, so he pointed at random and said, “Just that Ruyi sachet.”
“Promise.”
The Ruyi sachet was sent by Wei Shaoshi. She was so powerful that she got a leader in the first year.
Su Wen held the Ruyi sachet close to him and tied it to the king’s waist. He ordered people to put away the rest of the things and record them in the book.
Perhaps the wind was blowing at night and it was cold, or perhaps the ministers in the court were making a noise again. For several days in a row, the king’s face was not very good. All the people in the Xuanshi Hall were carrying courage, holding their breath, and did not hear a trace of movement.
It was not easy to see that the king had some smiling faces, but it was a few Yu Lin Lang of the attendants who were playing.
Liu Chang was no more than twenty-five years old, and he was used to being dignified to the officials on weekdays, but he was more or less young in the court. Besides, most of the Yu Lin Lang were born in the children of officials, and they used to travel with him, and they were all familiar with each other.
Then one of the sons of the Jiang family grabbed a handsome young gentleman and said, “I told you that you were always sneaking around, and there must be something unusual about you. See that? I caught you.”. Let me wait and see. Whose girl gave you this? Yu Linlang,
who had been pestered by him, could not get away, so he had to beg, “Good brother, don’t fool around in front of Your Majesty. Where is the girl who gave me something?”? You are wrong.
I read that right, isn’t it a cloak? Yes, you take it out. The children of the Chiang
family were unrelenting. Liu Chang, watching the excitement, also stood on the steps and shouted, “Is this really the case?”? Tzu-cheng, you don’t have to worry. If you really like a girl, I’ll make a match for you. With these words, he winked and asked the people next to him to follow him. Yu Lin Lang, whose
name was Zi Cheng, was no match for his four hands. In a short time, he had his sleeves and bosom emptied. The son of the Jiang family quickly shook the thing he had taken out and reported the good news to Liu Chang: “Your Majesty, I’m not mistaken. It’s a pendant!”
It is indeed a tapestry, and it is a tapestry embroidered with bluegrass!
The Twentieth Complaint: But all my life I resented
all the Yulin men, and no one knew exactly what had annoyed the king. It was just an ordinary slapstick, and I’ve had it on weekdays, but this time the king was furious. He ordered the Yulin man, who was called Zicheng, to be taken into custody, and called Su Wen, “Boarding Yilin Xuan!” On the day
of Qiqiao Festival, Yilin Xuan sent the eight-treasure fan cover, which turned out to be sent to others.
Once upon a time, she had just entered the palace, the first time she saw Jin Wu and Yu Lin Lang, majestic, handsome, then follow the example of Han Zu said, official as Jin Wu, marry when marry Yu Lin Lang.
He laughed at her shallow knowledge, to later two big wedding, he specially sent out so many guard of honor, full of Changan, but let her know, Yu Lin Lang what is good, marry when marry him is.
Unexpectedly, after many years, from the queen to the deposed queen, she did not change her original intention and hooked up with others under his eyes. When did
she meet Zicheng?
Along the way, he was pondering this question, Zi Cheng is only in recent years into the palace to do the Yu Lin Lang, at that time she was still in Nagato confinement, then it is only recently.
How dare you! Only a few days after she
went to Yilin Xuan, she dared to plot with Princess Jiangdu to leave the palace, but she was able to seek a marriage for herself.
In the first ten months of the lunar year, it was the day when the imperial concubines went to bed. In Yilin Xuanzhong, Chen Baolin and others could not imagine that the emperor would come today. It was the birthday of Wei Shaoshi next door.
Wei Shao’s position was low, unlike Qin Zhaoyi, who invited the concubines of the fourteen palaces to the banquet, and only invited two or three concubines of the neighbors, such as Zhang Shunchang and Chen Baolin, to accompany him for a day of fun.
Since it was not far away, Chen Baolin took Lvhui alone, and when Qiushui and Chixia saw the fine weather in the yard, they took out the bedding in the house and turned it over to dry. But
the two of them sat under the eaves of the porch to enjoy the cool air, whispering as they beat the tassels.
Chixia and Qiushui have been together for a long time, without the previous restraint, some words that they dare not say on weekdays, this time they dare to say nothing. Because
she knew something in Lvhui’s heart, she laughed with Qiushui and said, “Sister Lvhui’s life is really good. Seeing that she is about to be released from the palace, she has settled all the important matters of her life.”
Qiushui did not know what the sisters were saying, but said that it had been arranged by Lvhui’s family. “Lvhui has a good temper and is diligent,” she said with a smile. “Whoever marries her will be lucky.”
Moreover, Chen Baolin treats the servant not thin, if the green Hui marries, Chen Baolin always has to give her a dowry.
Chi Xia giggled, “That’s not the only thing. The people of the Autumn Palace don’t think that Sister Lu Hui looks ordinary, but her husband looks really handsome.”
“Oh, have you seen it?” Qiushui was a little surprised. Chixia and Lvhui were in the palace all day long, and they had never gone out. How could they see a man outside?
Chi-hsia covered her mouth with a snigger and did not answer. When she had laughed enough, she turned to Qiushui and said, “That’s right. It’s been so long. I don’t know how old the people of the Autumn Palace are.” “I’m the same age as Miss Lvhui,”
said Qiushui. “But I was born in late autumn. I’m two months older than her.”
“Ah, aren’t the people of the Autumn Palace going to be old enough to be released from the palace?” “When Sister Lvhui is out of the palace, and the people of the Autumn Palace are out,
” Chi-hsien said, “then only me and Empress Baolin will be left. How lonely!”
How can it be deserted? Qiushui laughed and shook his head. Anyone in the palace could be released, but she couldn’t.
“Why is that?” Chi-hsia looks confused. “If I don’t get out of the palace when I’m old, do I have to die here all my life?”
Cough! Cough! In the hidden place of
flowers and trees, Su Wen coughed so much that his throat was almost bleeding.
Liu Chang listened to Chi Xia, and the more she said, the more improper she became. Suddenly, she felt her blood surging, and her whole body was cold, as if she had fallen into an abyss.
It turned out that she had come back not to repent, nor to bow to him, but to plan together to give her a way out.
One does not have to be the queen of Nagato, nor does it have to be the queen of Yeting Palace. When they reach the age, they can be released from the palace to marry someone else.
Ridiculous! He thought she was playing hard to get!
In the past, she had a father and brother, the empress Dowager to rely on, or can have no scruples, but now, she has nothing, also dare to treat him like this!
“You’re right, she’s going to die here forever!” Liu Chang’s eyes were red with anger, and his cold voice squeezed a word out of his teeth.
On the other side, Chi Xia and Qiu Shui were not on guard against someone eavesdropping. They were all frightened. When they stood up and saw the holy driver, they all put down their work and knelt down.
Liu Chang gazed bitterly at the top of his hair, which looked like black ink on the ground, and then took one look at the red blemish of his face. Suddenly he raised his voice and called to someone: “Drag this cheap maidservant who doesn’t know what’s good for her and is full of nonsense, and kill her with a stick!”
Immediately a little yellow door came up and tried to pull Chi Xia down. She was so frightened that her tears ran down her face. She kowtowed and begged for mercy: “Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life! The maidservant knows she is wrong! Your Majesty, spare my life!”
To Qiushui’s surprise, as soon as he came, he was about to take away Chihsia. In a panic, he put his arms around her and said, “Your Majesty, Chihsia was just an unintentional remark. Please forgive me.”
Forgive? Why should
she ask him to forgive?
She hasn’t even figured out her own sins yet!
“Zhangsun Qiushui, I really looked down on you in the past!” Liu Chang was so angry that he waved his hand and threw something in front of her.
As Qiushui watched the tapestry fall to the ground, a clump of orchids bloomed like spring flowers. His heart jumped, and he unconsciously forgot the rules. He looked up at him and said, “This is..”
“Don’t you know better than I do what this is?” Naturally,
she knew that she had embroidered it for the green Cymbidium, but how could it be in the hands of the king in a twinkling of an eye? Did something happen
to Lvhui?
“Zhangsun Qiushui, as a palace maid, wantonly associates with the palace guards. You deserve to die!”
“The maidservant..” The autumn water has the mouth to be difficult to speak, thought that must be the green Hui that wench took the pendant to give the person, but did not want to let the king give to discover.
The thing is the thing that she embroiders, the person is not the person that she sends, if she defends, even if can make oneself get away, but green Hui? What about Lvhui? According to the
law of the Han Palace, the maidservants of the palace were not allowed to come and go with the guards in the Forbidden City, not to mention Yu Linlang in front of the emperor, and it was not too much to be beheaded according to the law.
“The maidservant begs Your Majesty to show mercy.” Qiushui had no choice but to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Liu Chang was still waiting for her to explain one or two, now see her even perfunctory words are not willing to say, just blindly beg for mercy, only when she and Zicheng really have something, trance in front of a gloomy.
“Well, very well, Zhangsun Qiushui, I really hate you..” It was proposed that Zhangsun Qiushui confuse the palace and behead..
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has mercy!” Outside the door, Chen Pao-lin and Lu Hui, who had received the message, stumbled in. When they heard that there was going to be a disaster, they couldn’t help but kneel down and walk to his feet. “Your Majesty is merciful. It’s not Sister Qiushui’s fault. I beg Your Majesty to withdraw his order and spare her.”
If it’s not her fault, is it his fault? It
was her craft, and he saw it turned out from Yulin Lang with his own eyes. If it wasn’t from her, who else could it be?
“Your Majesty, it’s my fault, too. It’s my failure to discipline the palace people. It has nothing to do with Sister Qiushui. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, punish me.” Chen Baolin raised his head slightly and two lines of tears flowed.
She did not want Qiushui to suffer, nor did she want Lvhui to die. Weighing the two, she might as well take it herself.
But such a thing as a private deal is not something she wants to deal with. If she doesn’t tell the reason, how can king believe it?
Green Hui followed her master all the way, but she never expected that it would be because of the costume she had given her that would cause a disaster. Seeing that Qiushui and Chen Baolin kept pleading for her, they bit their lips and suddenly kowtowed and said, “Your Majesty, it’s not the fault of Empress Baolin and the people of the Autumn Palace. It’s the maidservant..” It was the maidservant who was obsessed and gave something to someone. If Your Majesty wants to blame it, blame the maidservant. Spare Empress Baolin and the people of the Autumn Palace.
The courtyard was full of cries for mercy. Liu Chang looked coldly at their master and servant and said, “Do you think I’m playing a good game?”
One, two, both stand up and excuse her!
He knew that she had always had a reputation for virtue in the six palaces. Earlier, when she was the queen, Ruyi and others were willing to die for her. Now, for the sake of the maidservant, even the head of the palace was willing to plead guilty for her.
She’s really good at it!
Green Hui broke down in tears: “The maidservant didn’t play tricks on your majesty. The maidservant begged the people of the Autumn Palace to make it. She had planned to keep it for herself. Later, when she saw that the people of the Autumn Palace were really wonderful in their craftsmanship, she had the idea of giving it away. Every word the maidservant said was true. I hope your majesty can see it clearly!”
Is that so?
Liu Chang’s face was cold and stern, and Su Wen could easily recover from the scene just now. Seeing that the truth had come out, he hurriedly bowed close to him and said, “Your Majesty, it seems that what she said is true.”
Zhangsun Qiushui had been the master of the six palaces, how could he ignore the laws and decrees of the palace?
Moreover, the past between her and the king, far can not be written off, who ate the courage of the ambitious leopard, dare to associate with her? Don’t you want the lives of the nine clans? It would make sense to have an affair
with Lvhui.
Liu Chang was so angry that he was blinded and could not see clearly. Now he was waiting to settle down and knew that he might have misunderstood, but even so, he was still annoyed.
She shouldn’t have given it away, and she shouldn’t have given it away without even asking about its whereabouts.
Fortunately, today is to let him meet, if let the other people see, what misunderstanding, and let him how to defend with others? A mass of anger in
her chest had been gathering for a long time, and this time someone had to come out to make a raft, and she knew how much trouble she had made.
He lowered his eyes coldly and looked at the green Cymbidium kneeling on the ground. “Since you said it was all your fault, and you must know the law in the palace, then go and end it. Don’t implicate anyone else.”
The maidservant.. The maidservant knows the sin.. Green Hui trembled, almost scared to faint, originally the end of the year she will be released from the palace, Zicheng brother is still waiting for her, but. But now she could not see him again.
Chen Baolin and Qiushui and others did not want the king to make a final decision, and they all turned pale.
Seeing that the king was about to leave, Qiushui, regardless of his status, stood up in a hurry and rushed forward to grab his hand. He knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, Lvhui is certainly guilty, but it is human nature in the world for unmarried men and women to please each other. Besides, Lvhui has never made a mistake in the past. For the sake of her first offense, please let Your Majesty beat or scold her, and let her live.” The
thick finger pulp suddenly brushed his palm, Liu Chang’s footsteps slightly paused, and the eyes covered by the jade crown unexpectedly looked at the hands holding him.
That pair of hands, the impression is very white and soft, like catkins, but now it is covered with fine cocoons.
Then look at her face like the moon, full of pleading, just like that year, she knelt down in the Xuanshi Hall for the eldest grandson’s family.
They were supposed to be the youngest emperors and empresses in the Han Dynasty and the most noble couple in the world. Why? Why has it come to this now?
She is always pleading, but never for himself, he is always looking forward to, but always can not look forward to her heart. The hand
hanging at his side moved slightly, and when he touched her fingertips, he suddenly pulled it away as if it were burning.
“In this palace, there are people who talk nonsense, people who give and receive things privately, and people who can’t protect themselves. How much can you get by yourself?” He frown coldly.
Autumn water shellfish teeth lightly gnaw, also know oneself some disorderly rules, but. But he couldn’t treat human life like dirt, so he bowed his head and said, “Green Hui can’t escape her crime, but I want Your Majesty to save her from death.”. Red flaw is an unintentional language, and those who do not know are innocent. Empress Paolin loved her maidservant, and we can’t judge her guilt.
“What about you?” Liu Chang turned around with his hands on his back, staring straight at her eyebrows and eyes with starry eyes as dark as ink.
She has given good reasons to others. What about herself? How will she be punished for her own sins?
The maidservant.. The maidservant has never thought of going out since she entered the court. She wishes to stay in the palace for the rest of her life. For
the rest of your life?
Liu Chang clenched his fist behind his back in silence for a long time before he dropped a sentence in a cold voice: “Remember what you said today, and don’t forget it again.”
From now on, whether Princess Jiangdu wants to take her away or she is old enough, she can’t leave here!
Shengjia came suddenly and went suddenly.
Green Hui knelt on the ground for a long time, but did not dare to raise her head. Red Flaw was younger after all. After crying once, she saw that the disaster had passed. She wiped her face and helped Chen Pao-lin and Chiu-shui to get up and said, “Empress, don’t you have to die?”
Chen Pao-lin smiles through tears and pinches her cheek: “You don’t have to die. You’re still alive and well.”
That.. What about Lvhui?
“You don’t have to die. Your Majesty has spared us.”
“Are you serious about what the people of Akimiya say?” Green Hui couldn’t believe it. Holding her hand, she still couldn’t stop shivering. “I still have my life. Can I be released from the palace at the end of the year?”
“Yes!” Qiushui nodded, he is the king, promised things, a word, never go back on his word.
All of a sudden, Lu Hui and Chi Xia, from great sorrow to great joy, were so surprised that they did not know what to do. They held their heads and sobbed in one place.
Chen Pao-lin also wiped the corners of his eyes. After a while, he grabbed Qiushui by the sleeve and said, “Don’t be afraid, sister. I’ll always be with her in the future.”
Qiushui laughed. There was nothing terrible about staying in the palace for a long time. Even when she was a queen, she didn’t say that she would leave the palace.
It’s just that it’s a little surprising that he could answer her plea so easily. There were not many imperial concubines sleeping in the
first ten months of the lunar year, and they all took into account their identities and did not compete for the time of one or two days, so on weekdays, several imperial concubines in the upper palace were also very harmonious on the surface.
Who would have thought, halfway out of a Chen Baolin, unexpectedly also in the first ten months to pick up the driving, the imperial concubine now some unwilling.
Zhao Jieyu was sitting in the Zhaoyang Palace with a teacup in her hand, listening to Xu Ronghua coming to talk to Qin Zhaoyi: “Sister, I’m not a narrow-minded sister. I can’t tolerate people. It’s really too annoying.”. Chen Baolin is nothing, can also pick up in the first ten months? Your Majesty is thinking of giving her a share of the concubines.
Qin Zhaoyi from hearing the news, the heart is also very surprised, according to the king’s past style and sense of propriety, will not mess up the rules of the bed.
That time Xu Ronghua made a bitter plan to keep the king in the latter half of the month, but didn’t he succeed?
Unexpectedly that Chen Baolin, usually looks silent, in the back is a master of inviting favor.
It was just that Xu Ronghua could say such sour words, but she couldn’t. She persuaded Xu Ronghua, “We are all sisters. Why should there be a rift in this matter?”? It’s not up to us to decide who your majesty will go to. If Chen Pao-lin is really promoted, we’ll have to congratulate her.
“Oh, how generous Sister Zhaoyi is!”
Zhao Jieyu’s teacup can’t go on. I’ve seen a pretentious person, but I’ve never seen such a pretentious person. If she wants to celebrate Chen Baolin, isn’t that hitting her in the face? What is the origin of
Chen Baolin? What is the origin of these people? Why can daughter of a minor official of seven grades be on an equal footing with them?
“If you ask me, Sister Zhaoyi, you are now the head of the six palaces. If the empress is not here, you will be the deputy queen. If not, everyone in the palace will have no rules. If things go on like this, won’t it be a mess?”
She’s in charge? How does she manage? Everyone said that she was the first of the six palaces, but now, the king did not even have a word.
In the past, when the Empress Dowager was in charge of the six palaces, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the six palaces. Now the Empress Dowager has gone. Your Majesty only said that everything was the same as before, but never said that she was in charge.
Besides, Wu Xing, the supervisor of the internal assistant province, was a man who was very popular in front of the late emperor. He was the safest to act, but with him, what else could there be for others? If
she wants to be in charge, she has to be famous.
Besides, don’t think that she doesn’t know what Zhao Jieyu and Xu Ronghua are up to, isn’t it just to shrink back and take her as the first bird? If
she manages it well, everyone will benefit. If she doesn’t manage it well and touches the king’s bad luck, isn’t it her own bad luck?
As a result, Qin Zhaoyi just sat upright, and no matter how Chen Baolin was promoted, it was impossible for him to go beyond her.
Unless your majesty is obsessed by ghosts, go beyond her and make Chen Baolin queen.
Speaking of the queen, she remembered: “That …” Are the people of the Autumn Palace still at Yilin Hsuan? As soon as
Chao Chieh-yu’s long, cool eyebrows and eyes blinked, she remembered, “I didn’t hear she had gone anywhere else.”
This is strange, Zhangsun Qiushui in Yilin Xuan, how can Your Majesty go to favor Chen Baolin?
Could it be..
Chao Chieh-yu nibbled her red lips. Even if Hsu was dull, she could hear something fishy: “I said how could Chen Pao-lin be so kind as to keep her by his side, thinking that she really cared about her old love. It turns out that she was making other plans.” It was known to everyone in the palace that
Your Majesty hated the deposed queen. At the beginning, everyone avoided Zhangsun Qiushui, but Chen Baolin went ahead alone. They thought she was stupid, but they didn’t think she was wise.
Your Majesty is disgusted with Zhangsun Qiushui, so deliberately to favor Chen Baolin in front of her, in order to retaliate against her, is also reasonable.
In that case, they were wrong at the beginning.
Xu Ronghua’s heart is difficult to calm, that time she took advantage of the Jinhua stage Jiangdu princess to make trouble deliberately failed to invite favor, the matter spread out, she was almost ashamed to death, but at that time everyone thought that your majesty did not want to break the rules of the bed, so they did not say anything.
But only a few days have passed, and in a twinkling of an eye, Your Majesty arrived at the residence of the last imperial concubine in the first ten months of the lunar year. Isn’t it obvious that she has become the laughing stock of the six palaces? After saying goodbye to Qin Zhaoyi and Zhao Jieyu,
she suddenly met Chen Baolin at the door to pay his respects. She couldn’t bear it for a moment. She couldn’t help saying to her, “Chen Baolin, I’ve heard that there’s a very good embroiderer in your palace. I happen to have a few things here that I want to embroider some patterns on. I think the maidservants are clumsy, so how about borrowing your palace man to use?” How could
Chen Pao-lin not know what she was up to? The head of the palace had only been reduced to this for a while, and he really treated her as a slave. If he wanted Qiushui to go to her palace, he had to see if she was willing, so he bent his knees and refused to go back, neither humble nor pushy. “Please forgive me, Empress Rong Hua. There are only two or three people in my palace who can be ordered around. I really can’t transfer anyone to my sister.”. Besides, the last time someone from the Autumn Palace served tea, he accidentally hurt the back of his hand. He’s been in the house these days, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to do any embroidery work.
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to have a sharp tongue.”
Xu Ronghua was so angry that he hummed that Zhangsun Qiushui was assigned to Yilin Xuan, and that was the person of Yilin Xuan. Even if she was higher than Chen Baolin, she couldn’t cross the supervisor to rob a palace man.
The original thought of Chen Baolin himself is more interesting, borrow people to also get, do not bear to think that she is a hard bone.
What is it! I really don’t think it’s rare in this palace! She glanced at Chen Baolin, stepped on her feet, stepped on her steps and hit her shoulder and walked out.
Chen Pao-lin stumbled, and both Lu Hui and Chi Fai came up to support him. When Xu Rong Hua walked away, the two of them could not help muttering, “Mother Rong Hua is really too bullying.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Chen Pao-lin steadied himself and stood up, looking slightly sideways at the figure of Xu Ronghua’s demon Qiaoqiao. After a while, he looked back and said, “It’s just a Ronghua.”
Even so, unexpectedly also want to be the master of the palace, also want to mother instrument world, oh, with her also match!
“Empress, the maidservant thinks that perhaps Empress Rong Hua has misunderstood something.” Green Hui reacted very quickly, although Xu Ronghua and others did not like Chen Baolin in the past, they would not speak evil words as they do now. It
must be in the middle of the month that the king came to Yilin Xuan, which made them suspicious. What should they do? What are you
afraid of?
Chen Baolin’s expression was indifferent, and there was something about the king coming to Yilin Xuan in the future. The days are long enough to make them jealous. In
the Ching-lang Garden, Hsu Liang-jen looks at Chen Pao-lin, who hasn’t been here for a long time, and smiles: “You’ve finally come to your senses.” Without a word,
Chen Baolin heard her say, “As always, I tell you to be close to Your Majesty. There’s no harm in it. But you don’t listen to me. You just stick to your Yilin Xuan and don’t leave.”. What’s the matter now? Are you willing to fight?
“If I fight, I have my own intentions.” Chen Baolin shook a round fan and saw that the vegetation in her courtyard was much more prosperous than her own, and much wider than place where she used to live. It was indeed a comfortable place for a high-ranking person to live. When
Xu Liangren used to be Baolin, because of his low position, he was not in the eyes of the superior imperial concubines, and only had close contacts with Chen Baolin.
Later, for the sake of her elder brother in the family, she tried her best to become a good man and get rid of her grievances for many years, so she often advised Chen Baolin to plan for herself.
If two people are promoted together, there will always be a support in the future.
But at that time, Chen Baolin was cold and indifferent, and gradually estranged from her, so she could not say much. Now that
Chen Pao-lin was on the verge of being promoted to the throne, Hsu Liang-jen was more or less happy for her: “I don’t know what position Your Majesty is going to give you, but I think I should give you a gift.”
Chen Pao-lin smiled and waved his fan. “Sister, you don’t have to congratulate me. I came here today because I want to tell my sister something.”
“What words?”
“Since my sister didn’t associate with Chin Chao-yi and Chao Chieh-yu in the past, she has to stay away from them in the future.”
“Oh, why is that?” Xu Liangren was confused and could not imagine that she had come here to say this.
Chen Pao-lin hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “You don’t have to ask,” he said. “You’ll find out later.”
Her face was so calm that it was hard to understand. What is
even more puzzling is that the king, from the first month of the month when he arrived at Yilin Xuan, all the people in the palace were speculating about whether he would come again with a superior imperial concubine.
Can wait for a few days, also do not see the king’s will, originally extremely alert Zhao Jieyu, Xu Ronghua and others, then some relieved tone.
In the middle of the month, it was time for Yu Chongyi and others to go to bed. Seeing the arrival of the saint, Yu Chongyi hurriedly arranged his makeup and went forward to greet him. He was ingratiating himself and said that he was not romantic and tactful.
Liu Chang drank a glass of wine from her hand and heard her say in her ear, “Your Majesty, do you think Sister Chen Baolin is angry?”? Sister Rong Hua just wanted to borrow a few needles and threads from the palace people in her palace, but she didn’t want to borrow them. Still I couldn’t bear to see it, so I made Pu Tao, who was in my own palace, go over and help Sister Rong Hua.
“Well, is there such a thing?” Liu Chang’s cup of wine touched his lips, but before he could drink it, he said, “There are people with needles and threads in Hsu Jung-hua’s palace. Why would you go to Yilin Hsuan to borrow someone?”
“Huh?”? This Isn’t it because I heard that the palace embroiderer in Yilin Xuan was really good that I wanted to borrow it? Besides, what Sister Rong Hua is doing is not any other kind of work. She heard that she was going to embroider patterns for Your Majesty. She disliked her clumsy hands and feet, so she wanted to borrow someone from Yilin Xuanzhong.
“It’s hard for her to have a heart.”
Liu Chang slowly drank up the wine in the cup. The best embroiderer in Yilin Xuan was Qiushui. Unexpectedly, she had just come from Yeting to the Six Palaces and had attracted so many people’s eyes. Since
Yu Chongyi was attached to Xu Ronghua, for his own future, he had to say a few more good words for Xu Ronghua. By the way, he blew the pillow wind in the king’s ear. It was better to blow Chen Baolin away from the king’s eyes. Then he added a few words.
Zuo is just how Chen Baolin does not understand the rules, and how the palace people of Yilin Xuan do not know what is good or bad.
Liu Chang lowered his eyes and drank by himself, but he did not know whether he had listened or not. When Su Wen came in to report that there was an urgent message at the border, he took this opportunity to leave his seat.
Yu Chongyi didn’t want him to leave without eating a few mouthfuls. In a moment of impatience, he grabbed him by the sleeve and said, “Your Majesty didn’t eat in my palace before, and this time it’s like this again. Is it because I didn’t do a good job that your Majesty annoyed me?”
Liu Chang drew his lips slightly and patted her on the forehead. “Chong Yi has done a good job,” he said. “It’s because I’m tied up in government affairs. I’ll come back here for dinner later.”
That.. Then Your Majesty must remember. Yu Chongyi reluctantly let go of his hand.
Liu Chang did not answer her again.
Out of the Yilan Pavilion, I saw the moonlight in the courtyard like water, splashing on the ground, setting off the rockery and bamboo forests as if reflecting the sea of clouds.
When he was slightly drunk, he remembered the origin of Zhangsun Qiushui’s name.
I heard that when she was born, it was late autumn, and the moon was as cool as water, so Taifu named her Qiushui.
At the moment.. What day is it now?
The king rubbed his forehead uncomfortably and asked Su Wen. “Back, Your Majesty,” said
Su Wen hurriedly. “It’s July 14.”
“Mmm.”
July 15 is the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the time comes to worship ancestors and a busy day, after the Hungry Ghost Festival, after July, from late autumn. I’m afraid it’s not far.
“Go back to the Xuanshi Temple.” He waved his hand a little wearily, and the attendant of the escort hurried up to drive the chariot.
Year after year, day after day, time always passed like this, and he could not remember how long he had spent in the six palaces.
Before the queen mother was still alive, he was newly married with Qiushui, the queen mother took care of Qiushui, did not give him the imperial concubine, there was only one queen in the palace.
Every day, after going to court, he would go to her Fengzao Palace for dinner, never having to remember what day it was and which concubine was due to go to bed.
After the meal, he stayed in the Fengzao Palace and rubbed his hair with the queen. He knew that she had a calm temper, but he still wanted to make trouble for her in front of people. When he was in a hurry, she beat him a few times behind his back. She said frankly that if she didn’t leave a light for him, she wouldn’t call him.
But she hit a few times, neither light nor heavy, straight can be described as boudoir fun.
And then. She went to Nagato, and there was no more light in Fengzao Palace, and no one would wait for him under the light.
His eyes were so sore that Qiushui sat under the lamplight in pain and raised his head slightly.
Chi-hsia tugged at her eyes and gave her a few careful blows. “The people of the Autumn Palace blinked again to see if they had blown the insect out.”
Qiushui blinked at the words for a moment and then said with a smile, “All right, the insect has blown out.”
“You’re too careless. There are already a lot of insects in the plants. Why bother to play with them late at night?” The red flaw is wordy. “Look at the sky,”
said Qiushui with a smile. “It’s not going to rain. The flowers in the pot can’t stand the wind and rain. It’s best to move them into the house.”
Chixia laughed at her for making trouble, and Qiushui did not defend herself, but although the insect blew out, her right eyelid still jumped badly.
In the evening, as expected, there was a breeze in the courtyard. Lu Huiyuan was about to close the door, but as soon as she looked up, she saw two figures standing in front of her. She was almost frightened. It was Su Wen who spoke first: “Stupid thing, why are you standing there? Why don’t you go and ask your master to meet you?”
“I don’t know that the emperor has arrived, and I have missed a distant welcome. Your Majesty, please forgive me.” Chen Baolin Yingying is blessed.
She really didn’t hear the sound of the palace car, and she was somewhat surprised.
Liu Chang-hsu helped her up. “I don’t blame Baolin,” he said. “I’ve come here for nothing.” It was only then that
Chen Pao-lin saw clearly that he had not brought with him Yu Linlang and his attendants, but only Zhongchang’s attendants. This was unprecedented. As he hurried along, he led him: “Your Majesty, please sit down in the room.”
He also ordered Qiushui to say, “Please let the people of the Autumn Palace serve tea to Your Majesty.”
“Promise.” Qiushui bowed and promised, and immediately turned to prepare tea, and his right eyelid jumped more and more.
Because it was too late at night, the small stove in the house had already been extinguished, and if it wanted to boil water, it had to be rekindled.
Qiushui squatted in front of the stove with a cattail leaf fan in her hand, shaking it again and again. The dim fire gradually rose by the wind. In the yellow light of the fire, her cheeks were as smooth as jade. There was a faint voice
in front of him.
In fact, she had not seen the way he got along with his concubines, but as a queen, she had her arrogance and self-restraint, as well as her compromise.
From the time she was ready to marry him, her aunt and mother had been telling her that he was not only her husband, but also the ruler of the world and the king of the Dynasty, and that she could not restrain him with the love of ordinary people.
She should understand his ambition, understand his difficulties, love him and help him.
She did so one by one, so she admonished him to share the rain and dew, to take care of every woman elected to the palace, and not to let the harem distract his ruling heart. For
a long time, she thought she could do well, and she could rest assured of all the unwillingness, unwillingness and unwillingness in her heart.
Now it seems that she. I still overestimate myself.
As a woman, who does not expect to get all the love of her husband?
Unfortunately, at that time, as the queen, she could not do so, and now as humble as a maidservant, she could not do it alone. The
flames were burning more and more vigorously. Finally, when the water was boiling, she cooked the tea and put it carefully in front of Chen Baolin and him.
He didn’t answer, but just chatted with Chen Pao-lin: “I’ve got a lot of things to do, but I forgot. How many years has Pao-lin been in the palace?”
Chen Pao-lin said in a low voice, “My concubine entered the palace in the fifth year of Wende. It’s been six years now.”
“Oh, has it been so many years?” Liu Chang turned to take a look at her. He had the impression that she had always looked like this, but he didn’t know that the years had passed so quickly. “After so many years in the palace, have you ever thought about your family?”.
Chen Pao-lin’s lips curved slightly, and he smiled softly: “In front of Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. During the festival, I always think about my hometown and my family.”
“Where is your hometown?”
“In Suzhou.”
“Suzhou is a good place.” Liu Chang exclaimed and added, “I know that many of you want to go home, but you don’t want to stay in this palace. But there are always many unpleasant things in your life.”. Although I am an emperor, there are times when I can’t help myself. There are things I know I can’t do, but I have to do. It’s not only you who are trapped in this palace, but also me.
“Your Majesty..” Chen Baolin in the heart is astringent, this is the first time between her and the king such a heart-to-heart chat, may also be the last time.
She knew that his words were not meant for her, but she still felt sorry for him. In a room
full of people sitting and standing, who can live as they like?
Liu Chang seemed to be talking to himself, and his fingers reached out and touched the cup. After so much time, the tea inside had already cooled. When Qiushui saw it, he would come over and make a new cup for him. With a wave of his hand,
he stood up and said, “It’s time for me to go back. Having said so much, I think Paolin is tired, too. Let’s have a rest early.”
“Promise.” Chen Pao-lin bent his knees slightly and immediately called out the autumn water. “The night outside is deep, and there is no moonlight. The people of the Autumn Palace have gone to fetch a lantern to see your majesty off.”
When Qiushui heard this, he really went to the house and took an octagonal palace lantern, held it in his hand, and went forward. The
long night wind blew along the imperial road, and the palace lantern in her hand swayed with the wind. The light and shadow were mottled and fell to the ground, breaking her and his figures into a ball.
Yu Guangli saw that Su Wen was just following far away, and Qiushui’s intuition was so inappropriate that he hesitated to slow down his pace.
But this imperial road is long, and the slower it goes, the more it feels endless. The
king, who was standing beside him, seemed to be unconscious. In the silence of the long lane, amid the rustling of his clothes, he said, “Do you know the origin of the Weiyang Palace?” There was no one else
around, so he could see that he was asking her. Qiushui nodded lightly and said, “Maidservant..” Know.
“Tell me about it.” The tone of his voice was so
deep that he did not seem to be trying to embarrass him, but rather seemed to be rising at the last minute. Qiushui raised the lantern a little higher, and as he shone on the road under his feet, he replied, “The word Weiyang comes from the Book of Songs, Tingliao.”. How about the night? At the end of the night, the light of the court is burning. Gentleman to stop, Luan sound will. How about the night? The night is dark and the court is burning. Gentleman to stop, Luan sound. How about the night? At night in the countryside and in the morning, there is a bright fire in the courtyard. When the superior man comes to the end, he observes his words.
Her voice was as melodious as ever.
At that time, he did not know the queen mother’s abacus, only thought she was the daughter of Taifu, into the palace to accompany her aunt. Under the pressure of both the queen mother and Taifu,
he had to read so many books and know so much truth every day. He was already very impatient. Then he looked at his brother Liu Xu, who was so happy that he didn’t know how much he envied him. So he took advantage of the queen mother’s lunch break to find her to play tricks on him.
Let her read to him, let her copy the ancient texts for him.
She was still young, and it was difficult to read, so she let him seize the handle and order her to do this and that.
I thought she would tell the queen mother and Taifu about him, but she put up with it, and later, the books he read and the principles he learned all fell into her mind.
He knew that she had always been a smart woman, but sometimes she was too smart, which was not good, and she might as well be a fool.
Qiushuizhi finished saying the origin of Weiyang as usual, waiting for him to ask again, but he could not hear his voice.
She stopped doubtfully, only to find that at some point the two men had reached the end of the imperial road, and then went on, not far away was the Xuanshi Hall.
She turned around, secretly thinking that it was enough to send it here, thinking that he had not brought a retinue, and Su Wen had not lit the lantern, so she planned to hand the palace lantern in her hand to Su Wen, and go back alone, and today she had completed the task. Unexpectedly,
Su Wen hurried over, wiped his forehead, and said hurriedly, “Oh, why does the weather change so quickly? It’s going to rain.” When she
heard this, she reached out subconsciously, and really took two or three drops of rain and dew, thinking that it would be better to let them go quickly, perhaps to get back to the house before the heavy rain came down.
But Su Wen didn’t wait for her to open her mouth. He had already led the way: “Autumn Palace people, it’s already raining. It’s not good to go any further. There’s a cool hall nearby that can take shelter from the rain. Let’s go there.” Then he turned to Liu Chang and said, “Your Majesty, although I haven’t been to the Qingliang Palace for some time, my subordinates usually keep an eye on them. Now I can go and stay.”
This I’m afraid it’s not in line with the etiquette.
Qiushui hesitated, but Liu Chang had already bypassed her and really went to the Qingliang Palace.
He did not have a lamp to illuminate the road, walking more or less alarming, Qiushui had no choice but to carry the lamp to catch up with him, all the way to the Qingliang Palace.
This hall used to be a summer resort, with painted stone as the bed, purple glass curtain, and jade crystal as the plate, storing ice in the room, which can be like frost.
In the heat of summer, Liu Chang would order people to move the scrolls in the Xuanshi Palace and her bed in the Fengzao Palace here, so that he could enjoy the cool air and work, and she could also have a good sleep.
It was now the end of July, but he seldom came to the Qingliang Hall. Therefore, as Su Wen said, there were only two guards guarding the gate and two small yellow gates sweeping in the Qingliang Hall, and there was not even a palace maid waiting for him.
Seeing the king coming, several people were startled and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects. The little yellow door had never been served before the emperor. It only knew how to kowtow and did not know how to light the lamp. Qiushui carried the palace lamp into the hall and lit the candle wick.
Liu Chang also followed her into the hall, because someone was sweeping every day, the table inside was still neat.
I don’t know if he was tired of walking, but he went to sit on the couch by himself. Su Wen came up to take the palace lantern from Qiu Shui’s hand and said with a smile, “I have to ask the people of the Autumn Palace. Now there is no one to serve in the Qingliang Palace, and it’s raining outside. It’s not good to go to the Xuanshi Palace in the rain to find the maidservants. Please ask the people of the Autumn Palace to work hard all night and wait on Your Majesty to rest.”
Qiushui suddenly opened his eyes wide.
“Has Empress Paolin not waited for the people of the Autumn Palace to come back?”
In Yilin Xuan, Green Hui was surprised to see Chen Baolin personally close the doors and windows.
Chen Pao-lin chuckled: “She’s not coming back.”
“What does that mean, Empress Paolin?” At this moment, even the red flaw was surprised. The
people of the Autumn Palace sent the king back. If she doesn’t come back, where else can she go?
“Of course she’s going where she belongs.”
Chen Baolin’s face was peaceful, as if he were saying the most normal thing, but Green Hui and Red Flaw looked at each other.
Qiushui and Su Wen also looked at each other. She had not changed clothes for him in front of the emperor for many years. At that time, it was reasonable for her to change clothes for him. Now she was the maid of Yilin Xuan. What was it like to change clothes for him again?
Su Wen laughed and said, “The people of the Autumn Palace should have taken their orders at the critical moment.” Isn’t this an order in
danger?
Qiushui lowered his head, and the more anxious he was to untie the leather belt and the group pendant on his body, the more he could not untie them. The smell
of ambergris lingered in his nose, and the heat of his chest came through the ribbon in his palm, and Qiushui blushed inadvertently.
Liu Chang sat there indifferently, watching her kneel half in front of his knees, treating the group of jade as embroidery, as fine as it could be.
In fact, there is no need to untie all, just loosen the ribbon on the head.
However, he saw that she was serious, so he didn’t open his mouth. Since he didn’t open his mouth, Su Wen just thought he couldn’t see it. Anyway, some people were willing to accept it, so why did he bother to talk too much?
Fortunately, after half a wick of incense, Qiushui finally untied the leather belt and ribbon from his body, which was rather confusing, so he put them on the table one by one, and then turned around and took off his coat and clothes.
When everything was finished, Su Wen had already brought the hot water and waited for the king to wash.
She was about to leave, but Su Wen stopped her and said, “There is a prison on duty outside. The people of the Autumn Palace are busy working so late. I think they are tired. Let’s go there and have a rest.”. If Your Majesty wakes up at night, you can find someone from the Autumn Palace if you have anything to do.
That means she can’t go back all night. The surface of the autumn water looked
embarrassed, but he really had no one to take care of him here. Su Wen alone was afraid that he could not cope with it, so he had to say yes and go to the outer room to wash and rest. There was only a grille between the
two rooms for the convenience of coming and going. She slept outside and could faintly hear the movement inside. She had not been so close to him for more than
five years.
At first, he was a little embarrassed and restrained, but when he went to sleep, he seemed to have returned to the past in a trance.
Once upon a time, there was no imperial concubine in the palace, so they didn’t need to have so many scruples, so he loved to take her wherever he went, but when he first ascended the throne, he had so many volumes and memorials to read that he couldn’t sleep until late at night.
Lest she be tired, he moved her to the outer room and let her sleep alone, as he was doing now. At that time,
however, she was able to sleep at ease, and at this time, as a palace maid, she still had to shoulder the responsibility of staying on duty, so it was not good to sleep so deeply.
Fortunately, the king slept deeply at night and did not call her, so she stayed safely until dawn. Early in the morning,
Su Wen led the attendants of the Xuanshi Palace, who were holding the crown clothes for the court. She dodged and waited for the palace maids to go in. Then she grabbed Su Wen and said, “Ah Weng, I have nothing to do here. I’ll go back to Yilin Hsuan.”
Su Wen was stupefied by what she said. For a moment he said with a smile, “I was just about to talk to the people of the Autumn Palace about this. Yesterday, the people of the Autumn Palace came with me to wait on me in front of the emperor. I was afraid that there would be few people to take care of Chen Baolin, so I consulted with the assistant supervisor and sent someone else to wait on Empress Baolin.”. It’s no different. It’s Cuiye, who used to live in the same room with the people of the Autumn Palace, and who once let the people of the Autumn Palace sacrifice their lives to save her. If the people of the Autumn Palace insist on returning to Yilin Hsuan, then Miss Cuiye will have to go back to Yeting.
“This..” Qiushui didn’t want to give birth to such a change overnight, so she couldn’t bear to let Cuiye go back to Yeting.
But Cuiye stayed in Yilin Xuan, where is she going?
Su Wen looked at the empress she had served in front of her, sighing in her heart that her heart was really too good, otherwise, how could she be forced to this point? He wanted to wake her up, so he bowed slightly and said, “If the people of the Autumn Palace can lay down their lives for Cuiye and intercede for Lvhui, why can’t they ask for help for themselves?” Beg
for her? What does she want?
Su Wen bowed again and said, “I dare to call you the empress again. If the empress wants to ask for help, I and others will help her.”
“You..” It was only then that Chiu-shui came to his senses. After a long time, he sighed, “When did you plan this with Chen Pao-lin and Nei Shi Jian?”.
If not, how so coincidentally, she would go to Chen Baolin’s Yilin Xuan, and so coincidentally let her send him back?
