The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Zhuang Luoyan looked at Tingzhu who was kneeling in front of her, and drank the tea that the emperor had just given her: I will punish you to kneel for a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense, you will get up and do what you have to do. clear.

Thank you master for your kindness, slave. Tingzhu kowtowed three times, grateful in her heart, there is an ice basin in this room, and there is not much heat, the master asked her to kneel here, how could she not know that the master is sympathetic. If other masters knew about these things, how could they keep her? It was already a great kindness for her to be punished like this.

In fact, Zhuang Luoyan doesn't believe in those things at all, but this matter was revealed by Yan Gui, if she didn't say a word, it really can't be justified, but how to punish is her own business, listen to Zhu She is a clever girl who understands current affairs, and she is reluctant to let her go.

Just when all the concubines thought that the emperor still wouldn't flip his cards, the emperor stayed in the queen's Jingyang Palace for two consecutive nights. The queen is the emperor's first wife, and the other concubines have no reason to be jealous.

On the third night, the emperor went to Concubine Shu's place, and in the morning of the second day, he gave Concubine Shu a lot of things, which shows that Concubine Shu's favor has not diminished.

After Concubine Shu, Concubine Xu Zhaorong, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Xian each had one night each, it made the concubines think that the emperor had changed his temperament of not liking to flop in Xia Tian.

After these women went everywhere once, the emperor didn't turn over his cards for two days, which made all the concubines puzzled.

Your Majesty, the servants of the Internal Guard came to pay their respects. When Gao Dezhong said this, Feng Jin knew that he was asking him if he wanted to flop.

Let him in. Feng Jin stopped what he was doing, and Gao Dezhong hurriedly stepped forward to take the pen in his hand, and saw a big empty word written on the paper.

The eunuch who was waiting for the internal guard knelt in front of Feng Jin, he glanced at the tooth cards of the concubines on the tray, and suddenly said: Are the peaches outside the Taoyu Pavilion almost ripe?

Gao Dezhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then replied, I'm afraid it can be eaten, but I think it's not cooked enough yet.

There are benefits to not being ripe, Feng Jin picked up a sign, I haven't seen Zhao Chongyi for quite a while, let's go to Taoyu Pavilion tonight.

Knowing that he was going to prostitute the emperor tonight, Zhuang Luoyan ate the peaches he picked outside, squinted his eyes to see the sunshine outside, took a bite, and went to a small half of the peaches.

After Feng Jin finished processing the memorial, it was still early, seeing Gao Dezhong hurried in from the outside, he asked, What's the matter?

The empress dowager killed a court lady in the womb of Lord Rou.

Why? Feng Jin's tone remained unchanged.

Gao Dezhong didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and continued, I heard that this maid has offended the Queen Mother Fengjia.

How could Concubine Rou's court lady bump into Empress Dowager Fengjia? Feng Jin sneered.

I heard that the queen mother wanted to visit the peach garden, but I didn't know that the maid from Concubine Rou's Palace ran out in a panic after picking peaches, bumped into the queen mother, and shocked the queen mother, so she was given a stick to kill.

At this time of year, what's so good about a few unripe peaches? Feng Jin sarcastically said, I'm also going to visit the peach garden with my mother.

When Zhuang Luoyan heard that the Queen Mother was coming to Taoyuan, she went out and waited. She didn't expect that there would be a court lady who came to steal peaches and bumped into the Queen Mother, causing even Concubine Rou to be reprimanded.

Seeing Concubine Rou, who has always been the pride of the harem, knelt on the ground with a pale face, Zhuang Luoyan stepped forward and said: Please make up for the Queen Mother, Sister Rou Concubine would never know that the palace people would be so bold.

You can't even take care of your own people, so what else can you do? The queen mother gave Zhuang Luoyan a cold look, I don't allow you to intervene in the matter of mourning the family!

The concubine is guilty, Zhuang Luoyan feigned panic and knelt down on the ground obediently.

The queen mother has always come to worship the Buddha, don't hurt your compassion because of a servant with dirty hands and feet, Feng Jin said a few steps away, The two concubines know nothing about this matter, the queen mother should let them get up.

The queen mother glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: Since the emperor has spoken, both of you can get up.

Thank you, Empress Dowager, thank you, Your Majesty. Zhuang Luoyan got up and stepped aside, looking down at a pearl on her embroidered shoe, the corner of her mouth raised indistinctly.

Your Majesty, it's not that the Ai family deliberately made things difficult. The queen mother glanced at the pale concubine Rou, As the master of the first palace, even the people in the palace are incompetent, which really disappoints the Ai family.

Feng Jin said indifferently: The queen mother doesn't need to be angry, she is just a slave, since she has already been killed, don't get hurt by being angry with a slave.

After hearing what Feng Jin said, the Empress Dowager knew that he didn't want to punish Concubine Rou, so she gave Concubine Rou a dissatisfied look, and left in a chariot.

Your majesty... Concubine Rou looked at Feng Jin timidly, her face was pale.

Let's step back first, Feng Jin's tone remained flat, clear up the affairs of the palace.

Concubine, leave. Concubine Rou bit her lip, stepped back and left, she couldn't help but look back after walking a certain distance, but saw the emperor holding Zhao Chongyi's hand, and at this moment Zhao Chongyi raised her head with a smile , the two glanced at each other, and then separated as if nothing had happened.

Your Majesty, my concubine is covered in sweat... Zhuang Luoyan gently pushed away the emperor who wanted to make out with her, her eyes shy and timid.

I haven't taken a bath either, my concubine should take good care of me. Feng Jin kissed Zhuang Luo's rouge lips, and then told the servants waiting outside to prepare for bathing and other things.

The servants below understood, and naturally prepared a large bathtub with dragon patterns. When Zhuang Luoyan was carried into the bathtub by Feng Jin, there was only one feeling, this bathtub was much larger than the one he usually used.

It's really unreasonable for two naked normal men and women to have nothing to do in the bathtub, so when Zhuang Luoyan groaned while hugging the emperor's neck in the bathtub, he had to believe that the mandarin duck bath was really exciting.

It took more than half an hour to take a shower, Zhuang Luorou softly let the emperor tie her skirt, put one hand on his arm and said with a smile: Your majesty, you tie it really slowly.

Why, do you think I didn't do well? Feng Jin stretched out his hand to press the beauty's waist, Why don't you change my clothes for my concubine.

Isn't the emperor bullying people? Zhuang Luoyan lowered her voice with a slightly red face, Your back is sore.

Hearing this, Feng Jin laughed softly, straightened Zhuang Luoyan's clothes, bent down and carried the beauty from the couch into his arms, and said to the outside: Come here.

The maid and eunuch who was waiting outside came in with her head buried, not daring to lift her head. After quickly cleaning up the room, she carried the bathtub and went out. No one knew what happened in the room just now.

Caressing Zhuang Luoyan's still hair, Feng Jin said: What do concubines like to do on weekdays?

Reading books, practicing calligraphy, embroidering purses, growing flowers, practicing the piano, but these are not very good. Zhuang Luorou rubbed his head against someone's throat a few times, conveying a feeling of uneasiness, But I want to Keep it up, practice slowly and there will always be progress.

These things are foreign things. It's enough to treat them as hobbies, and you don't have to be too persistent. Feng Jin patted her on the back, and said softly, Aifei is fine now.

Really? The originally depressed mood seemed to become alive again because of such a simple sentence, Feng Jin looked at the shining eyes of the person in his arms looking up at him, and nodded.

The hands holding his neck seemed to be a little tighter, when Feng Jin looked down again, the beauty had already rested her head on his neck, besides joy, there seemed to be some attachment.

With a heartbeat, Feng Jin hugged the man and walked towards the bed.

In the morning, just after dawn, Gao Dezhong and Tingzhu Yigan's servants were waiting outside for the master to summon him. There was also a lot of noise in the room last night, it seemed that he would not get up so early.

Gao Dezhong glanced at Zhao Chongyi's two personal maids, they looked very well-behaved, and never tried to inquire about him, on the contrary, they were more pleasing than those court ladies who thought they were smart.

After another half an hour, there was a noise from inside, Gao Dezhong led some servants into the door, as before, Zhao Chongyi was still lying on the bed, and the emperor got up again by himself.

In terms of favor, Zhao Chongyi is not the most favored, but she must be the only one who sleeps when the emperor wakes up, even if it is Concubine Shu, the next morning when she goes to bed, she still has to serve the emperor to change clothes. But looking at the emperor's light hands and feet, he also understands that the master on the bed is probably still dreaming right now.

The room has the smell of after love. Gao Dezhong has served the emperor for many years, so naturally his eyes will not wander. After serving the emperor to change clothes, he saw the emperor walked to the bedside and kissed Zhao Chongyi's forehead, and then buried his head again.

Concubine Rou's maid was executed by the Queen Mother because her hands and feet were not clean, and Concubine Rou was reprimanded by the Queen Mother overnight, and all the masters in the palace knew about it overnight.

This court lady's brains are really not good enough. Although the peach garden is not big, it can still hide a peach. Why bother rushing into Fengjia with a peach in her arms? I don't know if she has no brains or eyes, Su Xiuyi said. Disdainfully said, It's also unlucky for Concubine Rou to have such a servant.

Yeah, it's really unlucky, otherwise why would I go out of Taoyu Pavilion to steal a few peaches, and even run into the queen mother? Concubine Shu twirled a grape on her fingertips with a half-smile, her manicured nails were beautiful and clean Passing through the grape skin reveals the fresh and tender flesh.

Women in the harem, there is nothing simple, said Concubine Shu, wiping her hands with a handkerchief and looking at Su Xiuyi as she threw the grapes into a green emerald plate with ruffled leaves, I just talk about these words here. , go out, you shut your mouth tightly, understand?

Yes, Su Xiuyi nodded shyly, but she didn't know why she couldn't say something that everyone knew.
