The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should take a rest, Gao Dezhong walked out of the corner, and reminded him in a low voice, It's bad for you to sleep late at night.

What time is it now? Feng Jin put down the vermilion pen, and looked out the dark window.

Back to the emperor, it's already Haishi, Gao Dezhong stepped forward and removed the pen, seeing the emperor's expression was calm, he stopped talking, packed his things and retreated to the side.

How's the investigation going on outside the Taoyu Pavilion? Feng Jin walked out of the main hall, looking at the brightly lit palace, as calm as water.

Back to the emperor, I don't know much about this matter. I just heard that someone watched a eunuch and maid carrying something towards the Taoyu Pavilion that night. I don't know what's going on. Gao Dezhong tentatively He opened his mouth, I guess only Chief Pan knows that.

Feng Jin didn't comment, but instead asked, What's the queen doing?

The empress and other empresses have sent a lot of supplements to Master Zhao, and they did nothing else. Gao Dezhong didn't understand what the emperor was thinking about Zhao Chongyi, so he didn't dare to say more or less, Zhao Chong There is no movement at Yi's side, although Zhao Chongyi has eaten less food these two days, she has used it every day, but the servants are just watching, Zhao Chongyi doesn't seem to go out very much except to pay her respects to the queen.

Feng Jin was speechless, sighed for a while, then waved his hands, Put it down. After speaking, he turned and went back to his bedroom.

The fact that Zhao Chongyi was frightened and did not go out was not a secret in the harem, and the masters of the palace somewhat gloated, but regretted that Zhao Chongyi was not left behind this time.

This morning, all the concubines greeted the queen as usual. The queen looked at the various women sitting below, and said with a smile, Recently, there are a lot of things going on in the palace. Don't worry too much. The emperor and this palace are here for everything. Someone will watch anything. After speaking, he looked at Zhuang Luoyan, Zhao Chongyi is better.

Thank you, Empress, for your concern. The concubine is safe now. Zhuang Luoyan stood up and saluted, but in the eyes of outsiders, she looked rather surprised.

Some of the concubines here couldn't help laughing. In this harem, there are a few people who didn't have their lives in their hands. This Zhao Chongyi just looked at two dead people and frightened him into this appearance. It's really not cruel enough. Such a person is here How to survive in the harem.

In my opinion, Zhao Chongyi is a bit timid, Su Xiuyi said with a smile, The deaths of these people have nothing to do with you, so why should you be afraid of this?

The concubine has never seen this since she was a child, so Su Xiuyi laughed, Zhuang Luoyan smiled apologetically at Su Xiuyi.

To others, she was afraid because she had never seen these things in her life, so what does it mean for someone who is not afraid?

Concubine Shu is also very helpless towards her cousin, she has a pretty face but she doesn't have a brain, can you say that?

It's you making fun of Zhao Chongyi, who looked at a mouse and turned pale with fright. Concubine Shu made a gesture of blaming Su Xiuyi, Don't use your courage to make everyone laugh.

It's common sense for us women to be timid, the queen smiled gently, Stop teasing each other, it's getting late, you all go to pay your respects to the queen mother.

What the empress said is true, Concubine Shu smiled and stood up, but there was a bit of stiffness in her soft smile.

When they arrived at the Kang'an Palace, the Empress Dowager performed a love affair with the Empress as usual, but she did not deliberately promote the Ye family sisters. After asking Zhuang Luoyan a few words gently, she made all the concubines kneel down.

I don't know if it's because of the change of the sky, but Zhuang Luoyan, who was sitting on the chariot, felt that the weather was a bit stuffy. She shook the round fan in her hand, looked up at the cloudy sky, and frowned.

Zhao Chongyi is not in a good mood? Jiang Xianpin's chariot came from the fork, just parallel to Zhuang Luoyan, seeing Zhuang Luoyan's appearance, he smiled and said: Your sister is afraid of heat?

Sister, I'm afraid of heat and cold. Zhuang Luoyan continued to shake the fan in his hand, Sister, aren't you afraid?

Yeah, I'm also afraid of heat. When it's hot, I can't sleep well at night. If there is even the slightest noise, I'm going to wake up. Jiang Xianpin smiled lightly, This problem is really not good.

It's really not good, Zhuang Luoyan followed with a smile, I just want to be able to sleep soundly at night.

Yeah, I slept soundly, so I can't hear anything, Jiang Xianpin sighed, Sister like this can only be envied.

How can anyone be envious, Zhuang Luoyan's smile faded, it's nothing more than that.

Jiang Xianpin glanced at her, then looked up at the sky, Sister, hurry up, it might rain soon.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled at Jiang Xianpin, It should be faster.

There was not even half a stick of incense left to return to Taoyu Pavilion after being separated from Jiang Xianpin, when it rained heavily, Zhuang Luoyan leaned against the window, flipping through a book of poems in his hand, but his attention was focused on the heavy rain.

Master. Ting Zhu came in with iced watermelon sliced ​​into thin slices, saw Zhuang Luoyan sitting on the side of the bed, and couldn't help persuading, The wind is blowing right now, don't get your clothes wet.

It's cooler this way, Zhuang Luoyan waved her hand indifferently, and took a piece of watermelon, biting the cold watermelon in her mouth, it seemed to cool her heart.

Master, what is the meaning of Jiang Xianpin's words today? Ting Zhu asked hesitantly, I feel that there is something in her words.

If you have something to say, others must understand it. The thin watermelon was eaten up in two mouthfuls. Zhuang Luoyan wiped the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: Your master has always slept soundly at night, how can you have the experience of Jiang Xianpin? .”

That's right, before the master was startled, he always felt very stable, Ting Zhu said with a smile, It's the servant who thought it wrong.

Zhuang Luoyan used to think that such a romantic thing as taking a walk after the rain was actually a bit silly, but looking at a certain emperor who came in the rain, Zhuang Luoyan felt that such a move was not stupid, but rather stupid.

As an emperor, there was no place on Feng Jin's body to get wet, but the people who served him suffered a lot. Zhuang Luoyan asked the servants to take these people to change clothes, and sat down with Feng Jin by the window.

Apart from the small garden of Taoyu Pavilion, you can only see the red walls, green tiles, and water mist by the window.

Concubine Ai is reading this? Feng Jin picked up the collection of poems that Zhuang Luoyan had brought before, and said with a smile, I don't know yet, Concubine Ai is also a talented woman.

The emperor is making fun of my concubine, Zhuang Luoyan pointed to one of the poems, These flowers are so rainy, I feel sleepy looking at them. You clearly know that my concubine doesn't like these, so you came to make fun of them.

It turned out that I misunderstood my concubine. Feng Jin casually put the collection of poems aside, Then tell me, what are you good at on weekdays.

Although the concubine is not proficient, she knows all these things. The emperor wants to ask the concubine what she is good at. The concubine is definitely good at different things.

I'm afraid you can't do anything, Feng Jin chuckled, and pulled Zhuang Luoyan to sit beside him, According to me, what you are best at is eating, drinking and sleeping.

Is the emperor saying that the concubine is like a pig? Zhuang Luoyan said with her mouth curled up, Then even if it is a pig, the concubine is also a beautiful pig, which is rare.

The Xihe Palace is almost settled, and the next day is an auspicious day, so you can move there. Feng Jin held Zhuang Luoyan's cheek with an extremely gentle look on his face, If there is anything you don't like, Just ask Shangshe Bureau to change it, and you don’t need to inform other people.”

Zhuang Luoyan's heart trembled, did the emperor really dote on her, or did he want to see if she would be proud of his favor? It is already a grace for her to move from a third-rank concubine to the first palace. If she is really dissatisfied everywhere, then she is really out of her mind.

The concubine hasn't watched it yet, why does the emperor think that the concubine will be dissatisfied? Zhuang Luoyan smiled and tugged Feng Jin's sleeve lightly, Didn't you just laugh at my concubine for being good at eating, drinking and sleeping, as long as these three things can satisfy you? Concubine, concubine is happy wherever she lives.

When I say this, you can't wait to admit it. Is it possible that I will deduct your food? Feng Jin smiled. In Zhuang Luoyan's eyes, this smile is not pure, she also smiled and replied, If you say this, the emperor will not hold back even more.

It's good that you are like this, Feng Jin said suddenly, seeing a dazed look on her face, he pressed a kiss on her cheek, and turned to look out of the window, The rain is light now, I should go back to the palace.

After finishing speaking, she stood up, walked two steps and looked back at Zhuang Luorou, who was dressed in plain clothes and green temples, Don't belittle my concubine, external advantages are not rare, but rare things can't be learned.

Zhuang Luoyan watched Feng Jin leave Taoyu Pavilion blankly, and shook her head when Feng Jin's back was no longer visible, didn't she just want to praise her beauty of heart, why use such euphemistic and subtle words? But what did the emperor come here for today?

Master, this servant just saw the emperor's sage driving out of Taoyu Pavilion, the little maid said softly beside Jiang Xianpin, It seems that the emperor really cares about Zhao Chongyi.

I really care about it right now, Jiang Xianpin showed a mocking smile on his face, The emperor went to visit the sick Concubine Shu in a heavy snow day last year, last year the emperor went to coax Concubine Yangui who was having nightmares in the middle of the night, and at the beginning of the year Concubine Ning's biological mother has gone, and the emperor has been with her for several nights, now to see the frightened Zhao Chongyi, it really shows that Zhao Chongyi has won some kind of favor.

The little maid was stunned, not knowing whether the master's words were mocking Zhao Chongyi for not being favored or sympathizing with Zhao Chongyi's temporary favor.

Seeing the appearance of the little maid, Jiang Xianpin said calmly, Back off, you don't have to inquire about Zhao Chongyi's affairs in the future.

She's just a stupid woman doomed to fate.
