The Job of an Imperial Concubine

March has passed, the peach blossoms have faded, and the weather is starting to warm up, but none of the masters in the harem feel much warmer, and even feel abnormally cold.

Zhao Xianrong from Xihe Palace was almost murdered by gangsters, the emperor was furious and interrogated layer by layer, even the servants were trembling, fearing that they would be implicated somehow.

Today, the only person who is in a relaxed mood is probably Zhuang Luoyan who is recuperating in Xihe Palace. She is half lying on the soft couch, playing with the palace flowers specially sent by Dianzhong Province.

"Niang Niang, these tea leaves..." Ting Zhu took out the tea pot, "Do you want more?"

"Didn't Dianzhong Province send the new Biluochun and Bitanxue?" Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the teapot, "Buried it under the Arhat pine, it's worth it."

She doesn't like tea, so this year's new tea will naturally not be finished all at once, even if Dian Zhongsheng doesn't deliver it for a month, it will be enough, but since she has been wronged, how can those people in Dian Zhongsheng feel better. The emperor is here, wouldn't it be nice to drink some old tea from last year?

"I heard that Eunuch Gao sent the Shaoguan of the Dianzhong Province to the Shangyi Bureau to serve as a slave." Tingzhu carefully buried the tea leaves under the Podocarpus pine soil so that no trace of anything underneath could be seen. She continued, "Xu Zhaorong from Changtian Building is also ill. Today, the maid beside her knelt in Qianzheng Palace for half a day, and the emperor didn't go to see her."

Zhuang Luoyan sneered, "Didn't she say that she was short of people to take care of her a few days ago, but now that she is sick, there are probably more people who need to take care of her."

Tingzhu said with a smile after hearing the words: "Your Majesty, you don't know yet. Although the Emperor didn't go to Changtian Building today, he made a decree, saying that Xu Zhaorong is sick and needs to rest, so Changtian Building has been reduced. slave."

After hearing Zhu's words, Zhuang Luoyan smiled. The emperor was already a little tired of Xu Zhaorong's pretentious posture, but now he found that she was bullying others, so he was naturally even more tired. Men should always sympathize with weak women, but hate women pretending to be weak.

Pretentiousness is fun for a while, but it is boring all the time. As early as when Xu Zhaorong was punished by the emperor because of the grievances of the servants around Qiangui, she guessed that the emperor was tired of Xu Zhaorong.

The momentary cold reception made her see clearly which people hated her so much that they bullied her directly without leaving any room for it. Concubine Rou was favored because of her beauty, Su Xiuyi was favored because of her cousin, and concubine Yan Gui was favored by whom?

It's no wonder that even if she climbs up according to the model of Concubine Shu, she is still just a noble concubine. Compared with Concubine Shu, she is still far behind in speaking and doing things.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Yu from Jingyang Palace is here." Yun Xi walked in, "The sun outside is very good, and there is no wind. Madam, do you want to bask in the sun?"

Zhuang Luoyan supported her hand and stood up, "It's boring to stay in the house all day, let someone set up tables and chairs in the yard, and ask Aunt He Yu to spread the word in the yard."

Heyu stood in the yard, the warm sunshine shone on his body, making him more lazy in his bones. Since the night when Zhao Xianrong was attacked, she had never seen Zhao Xianrong again. Now more than 20 days have passed, Xihe Palace has been rewarding her every day, and anyone can see that the emperor has not disliked Zhao Xianrong. On the contrary, it is infinite honor and favor.

Just thinking about this, I saw this Zhao Xianrong walking out holding the hand of a court lady. She didn't pull her hair up, and her black hair was loosely scattered behind her back. The peach red robe was a little loose, but there was something An indescribable taste.

"My maidservant and Yu have met Zhao Xianrong." He Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects, who dares to show negligence in front of Zhao Xianrong now, isn't that courting death? Don't talk about her, even the queen empress treats Zhao Xianrong more politely now.

"Aunt Heyu, you don't need to be too polite, but what is the empress's request for you to come?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled at Heyu, and then slowly sat down on the soft couch.

"Back to the empress, the empress has nothing important to do. I just asked the servants to bring you some blood-enriching medicinal materials." After Heyu finished speaking, she asked the maid behind him to give the things to the servants of the Xihe Palace. "The empress also said , Madam, please don’t worry, if you need anything, just report it to Jingyang Palace.”

"Thank you for your kindness," Zhuang Luoyan nodded, "My accident has made the empress tired. I should have thanked my empress in person, but my body does not allow it. I hope my empress will forgive me."

"Miss Zhaoxian Rong is serious," He Yu said hurriedly, "You are injured now, how can you make such a fuss? Your empress understands your intentions. Your empress said that as long as you can take good care of your injuries, you will be the most lethal person. Empress is pleased."

"My concubine is really grateful for your kindness." Zhuang Luoyan's voice gradually became tired, and her complexion became paler.

Seeing this situation, He Yu said: "Please Zhaoxian let your mother take care of herself, and this servant will go back and give her life back."

"Auntie, go slowly," Zhuang Luoyan smiled and watched Heyu leave. The smile on his face did not fade when he could not see anyone. He just closed his eyes and rested on the soft couch. It is suitable for sleeping when spring is sleepy.

Seeing that Zhuang Luoyan closed her eyes and rested her mind, Ting Zhu and Yun Xi took two steps back to give her a quiet environment.

Fu Bao walked into the yard and found his master basking in the sun in the yard, so he waved to Tingzhu.

"What's the matter?" Tingzhu came over and asked in a low voice.

"Tingzhu, have you heard that Eunuch Gao is investigating the servants of each palace, but all the servants who passed by our Xihe Palace on the day when the master was injured have been summoned to interrogate them." Fu Bao then lowered his voice, "I heard A few others were punished and died."

"If you have a bad intention, you should lose your life." Ting Zhu turned his head and looked at Zhuang Luoyan who was still resting. "You don't have to report to the empress when you are young, so as not to spoil the interest of the empress."

Zhuang Luoyan opened her eyes, and saw Fubao and Tingzhu chattering away, but she didn't ask any more questions, just changed her posture and continued to rest, but unexpectedly fell asleep slowly.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were bright yellow, she raised her head slightly, and saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the soft couch, reading quietly with a book in his hand.

"Your majesty?" Before Zhuang Luoyan got up, the emperor had put down the book and held her down, "A few days ago your wound was so painful that you couldn't sleep, now you can rest well, so you don't need to be polite in front of me."

Zhuang Luoyan lay back on the couch, and looked away slightly, "I just didn't expect the emperor to come."

"I have nothing to do today, so I came to see you." Feng Jin took the cloak from Ting Zhu's hand and covered Zhuang Luoyan, "Seeing that you slept well, I didn't call you."

"The concubine has been sleeping for a while too." Zhuang Luorou touched her cheeks that were a little red from the sun, "Your Majesty should go to the room with the concubine. Reading in the sun is not good for your eyes."

Feng Jin smiled, bent down suddenly, and hugged Zhuang Luoyan by the waist, "My concubine wants to go to the house, so I will naturally obey."

"Your Majesty!" Zhuang Luoyan exclaimed all over her body, and put her arms around the Emperor's neck, "This..."

The romance heroine enjoys the privilege of being a princess, and she actually enjoys it one day. Don't feel too good about it.

Feng Jin put Zhuang Luoyan on the imperial concubine chair, and put the cloak on Zhuang Luorou's back, "There is no sun in the room, don't catch the cold, you are still weak now, you can't get sick anymore."

"The emperor is always so nervous, how can the concubine be so weak." Zhuang Luoyan complained, but gently grasped the cloak, "The emperor is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to worry about the concubine's body every day."

"You said before that I am your God, so when you are not healthy, I will naturally have to worry about it." Feng Jin reached out and touched the blue hair on Zhuang Luorou's shoulder, "There is nothing important in the court recently. It's very generous, you don't have to worry about these."

Zhuang Luoyan was about to say something, when she saw Luyi bringing in a Podocarpus pine that had basked in the sun for a while. Although this pot of Podocarpus pine is not very big, it still takes a lot of effort to carry it.

"Leave these things to the eunuch. How do you do these heavy jobs as a court lady? What if you accidentally drop it?" Feng Jin saw that it was the Podocarpus pine that he had given to Zhuang Luoyan, and said, "I'll see Your mother likes this potted pine tree very much."

"Going back to the emperor, the servants can move. Usually, the servants take care of this pine tree." Lu Yi bowed her knees and bowed. She has a good appearance and a hearty demeanor.

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Luyi with a flat face. This court lady is also the big court lady beside her, but she prefers to use Yunxi and Tingzhu, which is far away from Luyi. Made her a little funny.

When is it not easy to move, why come in at this time?

"It's great that you can take good care of this pine tree, but as a court lady, you don't know how to ask for your safety before entering the house?" Feng Jin didn't seem to see the advantages shown by Lu Yi, and just said lightly, "You are Zhao Xianrong's daughter. Maid, it's not easy for me to punish you, go outside and kneel by yourself."

"My servant thanked the emperor for his grace," Lu Yi saluted with an ugly face, and retreated without daring to raise her head.

After she withdrew, Zhuang Luoyan heard Tingzhu's voice from outside the curtain.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant has made tea."

"Come in," Feng Jin pulled the cloak on Zhuang Luorou's body, then turned to look at Tingzhu who came in, "He is a dedicated slave, he has a pair of bounty ingots, and he will serve your mother with all his heart in the future. "

"My servant thanked the emperor for his grace." Ting Zhu hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled lightly, her eyes fell on the pot of Podocarpus pine, thoughtful.

Feng Jin looked at Zhuang Luoyan and said: "I know you have a good temper, but if there are any servants around you who are useless, you'd better get rid of them, otherwise it's a troublesome thing for the master."

"The concubine was sent to wait on her after she entered the palace," Zhuang Luoyan sighed, "She has a straight temper, so the concubine doesn't take her out very often. Your majesty, don't criticize her too much."

"The rules of the court ladies are specially taught by the mother. If there is something that doesn't understand the rules, it's not because they don't understand, but because they don't care." Feng Jin patted the back of Zhuang Luoyan's hand, "serving the slave who doesn't care about the master, It would be a disaster to keep it."

Zhuang Luoyan hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "The emperor is right, but my concubine is stupid."

"It's not that you're ignorant, it's just that you didn't think about it," Feng Jin's hand changed from a clap to a grip, but his movements were very gentle.

Seeing the two people's expressions, Ting Zhu retreated cautiously, and when he saw Lu Yi kneeling outside, he frowned slightly, the emperor just spoke of a careless slave. Just now she saw Luyi carrying the podocarpus in, could it be something else tricky?

A slave who wants to take advantage of his master's influence to gain favor? If this servant is not a national beauty, then he is seeking his own death.

But if the country is beautiful and beautiful, how can anyone use the power to be discovered by the emperor?
