Outside the imperial study, Gonggong Xiao guarded the door, put the dust on his arms, put his hands in front of him, straightened his waist, and his kind appearance in the past revealed a bit of majesty.A servant girl with a pale pink skirt stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Father-in-law Xiao, Concubine Xue has cooked crystal shrimp dumplings for the emperor, and I bother you to pass it on." ”After speaking, he took out a money bag and stuffed it quite familiarly.Gonggong Xiao is a figure in the palace, although he doesn't agree with some rules, he will not rashly destroy the way.I saw that he accepted it indifferently, and said lightly: "I know, our family will spread it." ”When the maid heard this, she was relieved, showed a happy smile, and hurriedly said, "Slave and maid Xie Xiao's father-in-law takes care of it." ”After owing to him, Shi Shiran left.She passed by a maid in a blue skirt who had come, her eyes couldn't help but look up and down, her lips were slightly open, and her face flashed with calculation."
Is that true?"
Concubine Xue put down the wooden comb, her beautiful eyes burst out with joy, the wrinkles of age were faintly visible at the end of her eyes, and the powder on her face seemed to be a little broken."
The slave maid doesn't dare to deceive the maid, the maid must be the palace maid in charge of the concubine."
The maid in the pale pink skirt looked proud, she had obtained important information this time, and the mother would definitely reward her.Concubine Xue played with Dankou thoughtfully, her eyes were raised, and her tone revealed schadenfreude: "I can't imagine that I was so favored before I left the concubine, and now I have to rely on Gonggong Xiao to meet the emperor."
Oh, you deserve it!
”said this, as if she did not use such a means, the maid slandered for a while, but her face was full of flattery, and said: "Niangniang came from the mansion, and the emperor's affection for you is naturally not comparable to others." ”Concubine Xue glanced at her contemptuously and snorted coldly: "What?
Do you also think Hongu is old?
”Her slender fingers caressed her upper cheeks, worried about the beauty in the bronze mirror."
The slave doesn't dare, the mother is eternally young, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it's twenty."
The maidservant was frightened and quickly knelt down, trembling."
That's it, for the sake of your meritorious report and your success, this palace will spare you this time."
No matter what Concubine Xue thought, she felt that Emperor Mingda should come to her here today, and she was full of joy.However, the next moment, I heard the maid preach: "Niangniang, the emperor has gone to Liyu Palace today." ”With a "pop", the porcelain cup was smashed to pieces, and Concubine Xue was so angry that her eyes were scarlet."
I heard you have something to tell me?"
The man who was obsessed with the past was now holding his hands behind his back, and his face was resolutely turned away, and he didn't even look at the delicate and bright concubine."
Back to the emperor, the concubine has truly repented and promised not to be willful again."
Concubine Li threw a wink at Emperor Mingda, took his rough and wrinkled hand, and forcibly held back the feeling of nausea in his heart.Now, in order to survive, she has become the most despisable sycophancy in the past.In a trance, the figure of the sturdy yin owl appeared in his mind, and the Danfeng eyes of the concubine turned into spring water, tender like honey.But in an instant, she realized her absurdity and couldn't help but laugh."
It's good to know that it's wrong, and I'll lift your grounding."
Emperor Mingda shook off her delicate and white hands, and although his tone was a little softer, it still revealed endless coldness.His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze locked on the rising white smoke, and he walked to the incense burner and said, "What kind of spice does Concubine Ai use?"
I like it. ”Concubine Li didn't expect his words to change suddenly, and said stubbornly: "This is the hometown of the concubine, and the spices that are special to the country of Wule can calm the nerves."
If the emperor likes it, come to the concubines and sit here, and the concubines will talk to you carefully. ”Emperor Mingda ignored her, and opened the lid of the incense burner by himself, and found that it was the most ordinary black-brown powder, and when he got closer, it was a faint sandalwood incense, mixed with the sweetness of flowers."
Does Concubine Ai know the ingredients of this spice?"
Emperor Mingda's eyes became sharp, and he swept vigilantly towards Concubine Li, whose face was stiff.If his instincts were right, there must be something wrong with this."
The concubines are not good at tasting incense, so don't be embarrassed by the emperor."
Concubine Li secretly glanced at the powder in the incense burner, and a charming smile bloomed.Emperor Mingda only felt that the flowers in the imperial garden were all lost in an instant, and time seemed to be tentatively set at this moment."
It's okay, I'll call the Imperial Doctor to take a look."
Speaking of which, it is actually equivalent to tearing his face, and Emperor Mingda is clearly suspicious of Concubine Li.There are skilled people who specialize in spices and poisons among the imperial physicians, and they should be able to discern the ingredients of spices.However, after two teas, the imperial doctor came to Liyu Palace."
Your Majesty, this spice is a mixture of sandalwood and the orange blossom of Wooller."
The imperial doctor carefully examined it and responded respectfully.As soon as these words came out, the concubine glared at Emperor Mingda with a little anger, her misty gray eyes were wet, and her eyes were slightly red, but she did not shed tears."
Is the emperor willing to believe in his concubines this time?"
Her voice trembled a little due to choking, and it looked different and moving.Emperor Mingda's face was not very good-looking, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and coaxed softly: "I'm sorry, concubine, I shouldn't doubt you."
What happened before was confused. ”"Your Majesty, the concubine's heart for you can be seen by the sun and the moon."
Concubine Li hugged his waist and wiped her tears on his dragon robe like a delicate girl.Thinking that he was indeed wrong, Emperor Mingda was unwilling to stop him, so he followed her nonsense.His mustard for the concubine has finally disappeared.However, he vaguely felt that things were not so simple.Perhaps, because you are old, you always like to think more, right?
No one noticed that the sight of the concubine was stuck to the sachet pinned to Emperor Mingda's waist, and the fire of ambition was beating in her eyes."
Leaving the concubine Niangniang, the emperor has gone to the early court, and the slaves and maids are waiting for you to wash."
The maid in the blue skirt who went to the Purple Gold Hall that day said respectfully."
Thanks to you, this palace has a lot of rewards."
Li Guifei straightened her clothes, and her raised Danfeng eyes revealed carelessness.Oh, the noble lady of the Xuan God must not have expected that she would find out the clue in time, and noticed that the emperor had doubts about spices, so she made a trick to steal the day.She first asked the maid to stuff two silver taels to Father-in-law Xiao, claiming that she had repented.Men, after all, face is important, and the coaxing will come back.Subsequently, she resorted to the emperor's distress and guilt.Maybe you'll be able to use that particular spice again in the future.It's just for the time being, so it's better not to take it out again."
Xuanshen noblewoman, this palace is very curious, what kind of reaction will you have if the situation you arranged with your own hands becomes unarmed?
It must be angry," Concubine Li smiled proudly, her red lips were delicate.------ off topic------ thank you for the cute monthly pass!!
