The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The emperor looked at Liu Shuyi, who was on guard, and thought of Liu Hong, who had been imprisoned. The remaining affection he had for Liu Shuyi was about to be wiped out: "Give the child to me."

Liu Shuyi felt a chill in her heart: "Your Majesty...I have been holding Baohui the whole time, she really didn't feel cold!"

She made a dodging motion, and the back of her hand was touched by the fourth princess' fingertips. Liu Shuyi was shocked to find that her daughter's hand was so cold. However, she did not subconsciously think that her daughter might get sick because of the cold. Instead, she opened her mouth to defend herself: "I dressed her warmly, but she is a little girl and is inevitably more active. That's why her face is exposed..."

"okay!"

Liu Shuyi's cunning face made the emperor think that she looked more and more like Liu Hongshi.

Although Liu Hong gave the emperor a handle to demote the Marquis of Jingjun, how could the emperor not be angry at her rebellious behavior?

On the contrary, after seeing Xu Xiaoyi's miserable condition, he became more and more annoyed with this family.

It's simply a case of the top beam being crooked and the bottom beam being crooked. With a mother who dares to slap a palace concubine, it's no wonder she could raise a daughter like Liu Shuyi who criticizes the empress.

This family has no respect for the royal family, and no respect for him as the emperor and father!

in fact.

If Liu Shuyi had not come forward herself, the emperor might not have thought so much, but she was only concerned about regaining the emperor's favor, and had not received any news of her mother's misconduct. She only wanted to bring her daughter to show her face in front of the emperor more often, but she was only concerned with vying for favor and did not take good care of her daughter, which happened to bring bad luck to the emperor.

It rekindled his anger.

"Give the child to me. Aren't you still under house arrest? Go back to your Yanzhang Palace. I don't want to see you now." The emperor's words stunned Liu Shuyi.

The emperor knew exactly what she had done. Previously, the empress had only verbally ordered Liu Shuyi to be confined to her house to reflect on her mistakes, but had not issued an imperial decree, so Liu Shuyi was able to come out to attend the banquet on Mid-Autumn Festival. However, once the emperor said the words of confinement, the punishment for Liu Shuyi was confirmed.

Liu Shuyi never thought that the emperor would be so rude to her. She and the emperor had been in love, but since she fell out of favor, she could never regain the favor, and instead they drifted further and further apart... Liu Shuyi's lips trembled: "Your Majesty, Baohui is my life. How can I live without her?"

"Empress Shuyi's words are quite pitiful. Why don't you see that the Fourth Princess's hands have turned white from the cold? Why don't you ask someone to bring something to warm her up?" Xie Yuzhen said as she rushed over from behind. She had previously volunteered to send the injured Xu Xiaoyi back to the inner palace, but she didn't expect that today would be such a good show. The dinner was about to begin, and she could watch another one.

Her voice arrived before her. Everyone present looked at Xie Yuzhen. Xie Yuzhen held her waist with one hand and gently tidied the velvet flowers on her temples with the other hand. She bent her knees slightly and said, "Greetings to His Majesty and His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Concubine Shu."

After saying this, she looked at Liu Shuyi and did not respond politely. Instead, she said sarcastically, "If Madam Shuyi can't even afford a hot water bottle, I might as well give you one."

Seeing Xie Yuzhen start a fire right away, the emperor regained some familiarity - I knew it, this woman would make trouble every day? She had calmed down after the queen said so before, it was just a coincidence.

Thinking about it, he looked at the Queen again. The Queen also looked over, keeping her mouth shut and showing no intention of intervening. When the Emperor was present, she remained silent most of the time. She was already very busy taking care of the harem affairs every day and was fed up with it. Anyway, the real master of the harem was present at the moment, so she might as well throw all the things over to him so that she could have some free time.

As the emperor and the empress looked at each other, Liu Shuyi was already frantically looking for a hot water bottle: "I will take good care of my daughter, there is no need for you to pretend to be kind!"

Xie Yu really didn't expect Liu Shuyi to be so cooperative, and immediately put on a wronged look: "I am also a mother, how can Shuyi be so malicious and speculate on my intentions? I learned the rules late, and I don't know how to speak elegantly and decently. If I was too blunt just now, I hope Shuyi will forgive me a little more."

Liu Shuyi couldn't find the hot water bottle, so she looked at the maids behind her, but they could only shake their heads helplessly. Aunt Jia looked for a long time, and saw that the fourth princess was shivering like a little quail. Finally, she mustered up the courage to bend down and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Madam, have you forgotten that when you came out of Yanzhang Palace earlier, you...you said that the weather was not too cold, and the princess was wearing thick clothes and was not afraid of the wind...If there was a little cold wind, it would...it would make your majesty feel more distressed...you said that the hot water bottle was too cumbersome to carry, so you ordered the servant to put it back."

She knelt down after she finished speaking.

Liu Shuyi's hands trembled violently, and she almost couldn't hold her daughter. "When did I ever say such a thing?!"

Grandma Jia fell to the ground and said, "Madam, please spare my life!"

Liu Shuyi no longer cared that she was still holding the child. She bent her knees and wanted to kneel down to beg for mercy from the emperor. However, she did not expect that her hands were not very strong. She had been holding the child for so long that she did not have much strength left. She felt her hands sore and the Fourth Princess fell from her arms.

The child screamed.

The next second, a figure rushed over without hesitation. Concubine Song Shu held the Fourth Princess firmly in her arms, but she fell to the ground sideways. The Fourth Princess cried loudly in her arms. Concubine Song Shu showed no pain on her face. Instead, she smiled and comforted the Fourth Princess: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Baohui, go and let your father hug you, okay?"

As she spoke, she stood up slightly staggeringly.

The eldest prince called his mother worriedly, but Concubine Song just shook her head at him and motioned for him to hold his brother's hand tightly.

The emperor was shocked when the fourth princess fell just now, but he was standing a little farther away than Concubine Song Shufei, so he didn't catch his daughter immediately.

Seeing that Concubine Song Shu had difficulty standing, the emperor directly picked up the fourth princess and handed her to the queen, and supported Concubine Song Shu in his arms: "Where are you hurt, my beloved concubine?"

Concubine Song stared into the emperor's eyes and gave a gentle smile: "My arms and back hurt a little, but it's okay." After she said that, she broke free from the emperor's arms, brushed off the dust on her sleeves, bowed gracefully and beautifully, and then retreated behind the queen.

Xie Wei, who was standing further back, was truly amazed.

The temperament displayed by Concubine Song Shu is almost completely opposite to that of herself. She is gentle, generous, and generous, yet so open-minded... No wonder she climbed from a lady-in-waiting who didn't even have a family to the position of one of the four concubines, and was still favored for so many years.

After expressing his feelings, Xie Yuzhen, who felt that his skills were not as good as others, sincerely envied the emperor for being able to enjoy such a blessing.

She touched her belly and thought that when she chooses a husband for her daughter in the future, she would definitely choose one as gentle and sensible as Concubine Song Shufei. As for a son-in-law, he should be well-behaved and sensible first.

But where are boys brought up like this these days? Why not let the mother get a few kids from an orphanage and train them from a young age?
