Chapter 206
Su Rushuang felt that her head was about to crack. She beat the table hard, "Xiao Yi, come here quickly."
Little Yilian hurriedly came with a bowl of soup and medicine. She said in a trembling voice, "madam. Here comes the maid. Drink this bowl of soup quickly, and your head won't hurt."
Su Rushuang took up the medicine bowl and drank it. He pulled up the silk handkerchief and wiped the medicine juice on his lips. "This palace can't stand the rainy day for a moment. It hurts badly when it rains."
"Empress. The imperial doctor said it was the root cause of the disease left behind before," Xiao Yi looked at her hesitantly. "The empress always has a headache after quarreling with the emperor. Maybe it's because of this."
Su Rushuang stared out of the window, "what does that have to do with rainy days?"
"It's easy to be in a bad mood on rainy days." Xiao Yi looked at her carefully. "When the maidservant saw that her mother looked no better when it rained."
Su Rushuang bowed her head and sighed, "forget it. The body of the palace is like this. It's raining so hard today. Did the emperor approve the memorial in the upper study or went to another empress?"
Xiaoyi bit her lips and hesitated: "the emperor has recently accepted a new imperial concubine."
"Ah?" Su Rushan turned her head and looked at her. I can't believe my ears, "the emperor accepted who has entered the palace. Why can't I hear the wind in this palace?"
"It's the Shen beauty that the emperor accepted yesterday," little Yi whispered. "I heard that beauty Shen is a dancer."
"Which woman in the emperor's back palace is not a golden branch and jade leaf? Why did a cheap dancer come in?" Su Rushuang was angry in her heart and disdained in her eyes. "The emperor has never been interested in the back palace. Even you, a female official, are unwilling to take it into the palace. How can you spoil a little dancer?"
Xiao Yi turned pale and said, "I don't know what's going on. I heard that the emperor met this beauty on the lake. The beauty played flute on the lake in a boat. The Emperor may be fascinated."
"Enchanted?" Su Rushuang turned her eyes and gnashed her teeth. "What fox trick? It was really caused by the low status of a dancer."
"The emperor took her to the palace yesterday..."
Su Rushuang was cold, "which palace is it in?"
"It's not Donghua palace," Xiao Yi quickly waved. "Beauty Shen lives in Shuyu palace. The Emperor gave the palace to live alone last night."
Su Rushan breathed a sigh of relief. "The palace still felt how a dancer could live in Donghua palace. The palace can't go in there." she paused and said, "but it's also a great honor to give the palace to live alone. Even min Jieyu wants to live with Princess de. where is the Shuyu hall? Is it close to the study?"
"Not close," said Xiao Yi thoughtfully. "In fact, it's nothing to give the palace to live alone. Minjieyu wants to live with the princess. Beauty Shen is just a whim of the emperor. Don't worry too much."
"The palace thought so when looking at Princess De, and so did Princess Chen," Su Rushuang's eyes darkened. "As a result, they were favored one by one. The emperor rested beside them all night and ignored me. Later, they had their own children, and my situation was even worse."
"Don't worry, madam. As long as you don't quarrel with the emperor, the emperor will come to you naturally," Xiao Yi comforted. "Madam, you really should change your temper."
"You don't know the twists and turns here, so you don't know what's going on between the palace and the emperor," Su Rushuang sniffed sadly, and a flash of evil flashed through the bottom of his eyes. "But even so, the palace still doesn't regret what it did that year. If you don't start, the palace will never be close to the emperor again."
Xiao Yi turned her eyes, "I don't know what the white lady means."
Su Rushuang bent her lips and touched her head. "You don't have to understand the meaning of this palace. It's just something unimportant. Just do your own thing."
Xiao Yi looked at her with a complicated smile.
Candles flickered in the Shuyu hall, and wisps of light smoke burned from the incense burner, which was entangled with a double shadow in the curtain. The clear and gentle sound of the flute was beautiful against the falling rain, like the soft words of a beauty on the pillow, turning into endless soft fingers.
"Where did you learn this flute?" Meng Qianzhong played with her belt. "Shouldn't a dancer be able to dance? Can you dance for me?"
Shen lvxiu leaned against his arm, and a shallow smile appeared on his lips, "but what I can do most is not dance, but blow the flute."
"That's not a dancer," Meng Qianchong kissed her side face. "That song of wet green shirt is really nice. I've never heard such a sweet flute."
"It was taught by my concubine's mother."
Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows, "your mother is..."
"My concubine grew up in Xirong. My father was from Xirong and my mother was from Qi," Shen lvxiu smiled charmingly. "My mother told my concubine to play this song when my green shirt was wet."
"Yes, you play this song very well. I haven't heard such a flute for a long time," Meng Qianzhong sighed. "My green shirt is wet. I heard it played by my mother when I was very young. I think it has been so many years..."
Shen lvxiu raised his chin and his eyes were bright. "It turns out that the emperor's mother imperial concubine can also play the flute. It seems that the emperor really likes the sound of the flute."
"My mother often plays the flute, but it's not for me, but for Yuan Zhen," Meng Qianzhong's eyes darkened. "I'm the adopted son under the Queen's knee. Naturally, I can't be compared with Yuan Zhen."
Shen lvxiu blinked his eyes and gave birth to some charming meaning on his lips. "After that, my concubine will blow the green shirt to the emperor every day, and then blow it to the emperor alone, okay?"
"Well, then I'll be ready," Meng Qianzhong smiled and touched her chin. "Look carefully, you look like a Xirong man."
Shen lvxiu hooked his lips. "Does the emperor like Xirong people?"
"I like the music you play. My green shirt is wet," Meng Qian thought again. "I suddenly remembered that there was a female official in the German imperial concubine palace, who seemed to be called Qingning. It was the appearance of Xirong people. There were really many Xirong people who wanted to enter my palace."
Shen lvxiu's eyes were shining. "It seems that the friendship between Xirong and Qi is good, better than that between Qi and Qin. I haven't seen many people in Qin."
"Imperial concubine Chen is the princess of the state of Qin," Meng Qianzhong buried his head in her neck and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in her hair. "I'll take you out later, and you can see imperial concubine de and imperial concubine Chen."
"Isn't there another imperial concubine in the palace," Shen lvxiu spits out his tongue mischievously. "I heard that the imperial concubine had the appearance of a country and a city before I entered the palace. I don't know whether it was so?"
"Imperial concubine, she......" Meng Qian paused heavily, hugged beauty Shen's soft waist and fell to the bed. "Imperial concubine, she is not in good health and seldom comes out. When she is in good health, you can see her when you go to Huayang palace to greet her."
Shen lvxiu stretched out a pair of scallion tube like hands and gently untied the buttons on his skirt. Meng Qianzhong looked at her in a daze and grabbed her weak and boneless hands, "wait a minute."
"Ah?" Shen lvxiu opened his eyes unexpectedly, "it's late at night, emperor, you want..."
Meng Qianzhong struggled out of bed and sheepishly smoothed her belt. "I'm just tired and want to have a rest here. I don't want to spend the night."
Shen lvxiu was stunned. "Emperor, it's a heavy night. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Donghua palace," Meng Qianchong smiled soothingly at her. "It's late at night. You must be tired after playing the flute all night."
Chen Wanqian knew for a long time that the emperor would not stay in the Shuyu palace. He had already waited outside the palace gate.
"Emperor, drive Donghua palace?"
Meng Qianchong waved to him and said in a deep voice, "go and check Shen lvxiu to see where she came from Xirong, how she entered the state of Qi, how she lived after entering the state of Qi, and who introduced her into the palace."
Chen Wanqian looked at him stupidly and quickly replied, "yes, the slave will find out, but this beauty Shen is so... Why should the emperor put her into the back palace?"
Meng Qianchong hooked his lips and said with a smile, "the song is beautiful. I don't want to miss it. Keep it first. If there's anything wrong, come and tell me immediately."
Chen Wanqian asked again, "is the emperor going to Donghua palace now?"
"No, I went to Zhaoyun Hall tonight. I haven't seen imperial concubine Chen for a long time. I don't know how she is," Meng Qianchong raised his chin. "When the child was a month old, the mother was also uncomfortable. I want to accompany her more, make her feel more comfortable, and make the Dragon son better in her stomach."
Chen Wanqian smiled happily. "The emperor is really thoughtful. You haven't set foot in the back palace for a long time. Unexpectedly, you have accepted a beauty in the twinkling of an eye and have to go to the palace of imperial concubine Chen."
Meng Qianchong gave him a cold look. "Imperial concubine Chen has my dragon son. How can I not visit her."
Zhuang Youyi quietly walked into the secret road. Sure enough, she saw a young man in white standing in front of her.
"Prince Chun," Zhuang Youyi indicated to him the wine pot in his hand, "this is the peach blossom wine newly brewed in spring in the palace. Would you like to try it?"
"So you asked me to meet you to buy me a drink," Meng Yuanzhen smiled and looked behind her. "Why, isn't Jiang Jinwen with you?"
Zhuang Youyi was stunned. "I didn't say that Jie Yu would come with me. Does Prince Chun want her to come?"
Meng Yuanzhen quickly waved his hand and said shyly, "I didn't mean that. I just thought she was always with you. It's good for you to come."
Zhuang Youyi had a sweet smile on her lips. "Shall we drink peach blossom wine together? It's made from a variety of wine. I have to drink a cup every spring. How about you try it?"
"It's already summer," Meng Yuanzhen said with a slight smile. "It seems that you missed the time for today's peach blossom wine."
"It's not like missing the time," Zhuang Youyi bit her lip and looked at him shyly. "If there is no lover, she doesn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery on a beautiful day, let alone the wine to go into her stomach."
Meng Yuanzhen's eyes showed something strange, "this... You are concubine Qi..."
"I'm just enjoying my happiness here, not the real empress," Zhuang Youyi explained anxiously, "so don't think I'm Princess Qi, just think I'm Zhuang Youyi."
Meng Yuanzhen smiled softly. "Well, since you are not princess Qi, I'll call you Youyi in the future."
