Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 39 Give it to King Yu?

The Empress Dowager told Ming Xuanyu that King Yu was coming on New Year's Eve.

Ming Xuanyu fell into deep thought, not knowing what plan King Yu would have, and how should he deal with it?

He was walking along the lakeside with his hands behind his back, the north wind was bleak, and his bearskin cloak was shaking slightly, and the palace people just followed behind him silently.

The winter sun lazily sprinkled on his body, making people feel a little warm, but for him, it was difficult for this rare sunshine to shine into his heart.

Once the heart is cold, how can the body feel warm?
He stopped, stood by the bridge railing, and took out a hairpin from his pocket, which was Lan Zhen's relic.

The palace people are far away, and no one knows what he is doing.

He held the hairpin in both hands and looked at it affectionately.

Is King Yu's coming to court happy or sad?He didn't know, maybe it was multiple helpers, or maybe it was multiple opponents!

If Lan Zhen is still alive, I can talk to her about these worries; not only because I trust her, but also because she can understand him!

It was said that it was hard to find a bosom friend, and only now did he truly experience the pain of being so hard to talk about.

He took a deep breath and stuffed the hairpin back into his clothes, and then lightly patted the part where the hairpin was placed.

Occasionally, he turned his head and saw the palace people behind him warming their hands secretly, only Xinyi looked thoughtful.

He was a little displeased at first, seeing this situation, he didn't think too much about his displeasure just now, but the palace people were so frightened that they immediately lowered their hands and stood in the distance, not daring to move.

Zhang De raised his eyes, but unexpectedly, the emperor's eyes stopped on Zhuang Xinyi's body. When he looked at her again, he seemed to be in a state of mind wandering, so he hurriedly pulled her sleeves lightly, pulling her back from his thoughts. .

Seeing Ming Xuanyu's eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"What are you thinking?" His voice drifted over.

Everyone looked at Xinyi, Zhang De pushed her, motioned her to go to the emperor to answer, she ran over in small steps.

Seeing her coming, Ming Xuanyu continued to walk forward, she followed closely behind him, Zhang De led the crowd to keep a distance from them.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked again.

"Report to the emperor, servant girl, servant girl is only thinking about Prince Yu!" After finishing speaking, she secretly raised her eyes to look at his back.

He looked back at her in surprise, and said, "Uncle Huang is not only well-versed in civil and military skills, but also a handsome man. He is the dream lover of countless women, and it must be what you want!"

Hearing what he said, Xinyi knew that he must be thinking wrong, and quickly explained: "I don't mean that, slave girl!"

He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said: "When he comes, if you want to be with him, for the sake of what you have done for me, I will make your wish come true!"

Her words were completely blocked back into her stomach, why is this person so unreasonable?People obviously didn't mean that!She couldn't help but start to blame him.

He stopped, looked at the expression on her face, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing him like this, her heart became even angrier. It turned out that he was deliberately playing tricks on people!
He didn't seem to see her dissatisfaction, and continued: "Anyway, you are also someone close to me. Even if you are serving as a concubine to King Yu, those people in Prince Yu's mansion would not dare to bully you, so don't worry!"

Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't dare to confront him, for fear that if he got angry, it would be over if he really gave herself to King Yu, but she didn't want to be mocked by him like this.

After thinking for a while, she replied calmly: "The emperor cares so much for your servants, and your servants are flattered!"

Leaning his back on the railing, he folded his arms, looked at her with interest, and listened to her response.

She looked up at him, then lowered her head and replied: "Prince Yu is a nobleman of the royal family. He is your uncle, the emperor. The servant girl heard others say that the side concubine of Prince Yu's mansion is a queen of a famous family or a beautiful woman in the world. Since the emperor thinks highly of it, the servant girl can sit Up to the current position, although the servant is stupid, she also knows her identity. The servant is a despicable person, how can he be worthy of the position of side concubine of Prince Yu's mansion?"

Hearing what she said, the unhappiness in his heart no longer existed at this moment, and he just looked at her silently.

"Your majesty's grace is so great, this servant should be weeping with gratitude. However," she glanced at him again, but she couldn't see his mood, then lowered her head again, "Of course, for one thing, this servant doesn't have the kind of heart to climb dragons and phoenixes. Second, if the emperor bestows slaves and servants to the prince, it will become the laughing stock of the world. Since the servants have received the emperor's grace to serve the emperor, the emperor's dignity should be the most important thing in everything, how can the world make people laugh at the emperor because of this?"

"The blessings and misfortunes of slaves are small, but the emperor's decency is a major matter. I implore the emperor to take it back!"

After all, she knelt at his feet respectfully.

He didn't expect that she would deal with his difficulties in this way, hide her own unhappiness, and think of him in every sentence, she is really a smart woman!
However, her thoughts are so clear, and her answering questions are so calm, her origin must not be that simple!
So, who is she?

He thought so, but fake coughed twice: "Get up, don't kneel down, it's so cold!"

She thanked En and stood up with her head bowed.

He walked to her side and whispered in her ear: "You really are a smart woman, I like it!"

She thought she had heard wrong, she looked at him blankly, her eyes met each other, she quickly lowered her head, but he smiled slightly and moved on
But she froze on the spot, unable to recover for a while, and when Zhang De and others came over, she quickly followed them.

"Since you said so, when King Yu comes, you can meet him with me!" He said to her behind him.

"Ah, yes, servant girl, thank you Lord Long En!" She said with blessing.

"It's not for nothing that I asked you to see him." He continued, and she raised her head puzzled.

"You little girl, you speak and act a bit differently from other people. When you meet him, I will ask you something." He looked back at her and said seriously, "At that time, if you dare not tell the truth Report, if you reply to me without saying a word like just now, I will not spare you!"

Her heart trembled for a moment, but her face still had an innocent expression. She was about to argue, but he blocked her words when they reached her lips.

"I've said it a long time ago, don't play tricks in front of me. With your little knowledge, you're still far from being able to play tricks under my nose!" There was displeasure and joking in his eyes, making her I don't know, so I had to bow down and say yes.

In the afternoon, the concubines moved from the palace to Xiyuan, and the palace people in Xiyuan were busy for a while.

In the evening, Ming Xuanyu and all the concubines accompanied the Empress Dowager to a dinner at the "Fangchun Pavilion" on the west side of Fushan Mountain, accompanied by Xinyi and other palace officials.

Xinyi stood behind Zhang De. This was the first time she had seen a royal banquet. Although it was only a small banquet, it was already very spectacular in her opinion.

Ming Xuanyu and Empress Tong sat on both sides of the Empress Dowager, Zhen Guifei and others were on the left and right.

During the banquet, there was singing and dancing, a scene of harmony and joy.

After the dance and music were over, the Empress Dowager was heard saying to the Empress: "You have been in the palace for four years, and in these four years, except for some maids, there have been no newcomers in the harem."

She didn't look at the queen at all, but picked up a piece of dish, chewed it slowly, and said, "What Aijia means is that after the New Year, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to recruit some beautiful girls to come in."

She put down her chopsticks, glanced at the Queen, and said: "Bring those children to Xiyuan when the time comes, and Ai's family can see it with their own eyes. Tomorrow, Ai's family will give you a list, and you can announce it according to the list." !"

The Queen's expression was strange and she was unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she just laughed and said, "I will follow Lafayette's will"!
The concubines also heard what Lafayette said, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It hasn't been long since they entered the palace, and a newcomer will come in soon, and it's the one chosen by Lafayette himself.

Alas, it's no wonder Lafayette did this. There are so many concubines in the harem, and after three years, none of them are happy.The dragon vein is the great ancestor of the country, how can I teach Lafayette not to be in a hurry?

The concubines thought so, and could no longer complain.

Xinyi secretly glanced at Ming Xuanyu, who just smiled and didn't speak.

Although she spent a short time with him, Xinyi also knew that he would not express her true thoughts!

Thinking of this, Xinyi seemed to feel that Concubine Zhen's gaze was on her side, and she turned slightly to look at her, but seeing Concubine Zhen smiled at her, she had no choice but to smile along with her.

When she got upright, she saw Ming Xuanyu and the queen looking at her at the same time, so she quickly lowered her head.

His eyes stopped on her for a moment, but the queen looked at her for a long time.

The banquet was over, Ming Xuanyu went back to rest with grandma, and Xinyi followed.

After they left, the queen sat in her seat and said to He Shanggong next to her, "Watch that woman carefully", and He Shanggong took the order.

At this time, the noble concubine came over and whispered beside the queen with a smile: "Sister, that person is highly valued by the emperor, my sister is for your own good, I would like to give you some advice, don't provoke her!"

The queen also smiled back, and said: "Sister, you really have a heart, sister, let me thank you for your kindness first!"

The eyes of the two people looking at each other obviously made the people around feel full of gunpowder, but the two people still smiled.

"Sister, you are being polite! My sister is also afraid that if you do something wrong on the spur of the moment and lose your sacred heart, if you offend Long Yan, what will you do?" Concubine Zhen smiled, with a glimmer of gloom in her eyes, "This palace If there is no sister, you will be very deserted!"

The corner of the queen's mouth moved slightly, her complexion remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "It's really touching that my sister cares about me so much!"

Zhen Guifei covered her mouth with a smile, turned and left, the queen sat on her seat, unable to recover for a while.

Concubine Zhen left surrounded by the palace people, Concubine Shu Huo Xiangyun came over.

"The trouble now is that Zhuang Xinyi, a person whose background is unknown, and who is always by the emperor's side, I really have to think of a way!" said the queen.

"I heard that the noble concubine is wooing her, what should we do?" Concubine Shu asked.

The queen sneered, and replied: "Do you think Zhen Yunan will really win him over?"

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "It seems that without my help, someone will teach Zhuang Xinyi a lesson!"

Saying that, she smiled at Concubine Shu with a deep meaning, and Concubine Shu also seemed to understand something, showing a faint smile.

At this moment, Concubine De came over to salute the queen and left.

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine De's back, and said: "I heard that she has been summoned to serve as bed attendant these past few months, why is there still no movement?"

"This kind of thing depends on God's will!" The queen stood up, took Concubine Shu's arm and walked towards the door.

"Sister, what do you plan to do about what Lafayette said?" Concubine Shu asked again.

The two walked to the door, and the maids tied their capes for them.

"What else can I do?" The queen sighed, and walked slowly towards her yard, "Who would dare to disobey Lafayette's words? When we entered the palace, Lafayette didn't say anything. Seeing how active she is this time." Yes, I'm afraid I have someone I like!"

Concubine Shu let out a long sigh. Seeing that the palace people were far away, she whispered to the queen: "Sister, in my opinion, if Lafayette is going to draft another girl, it's probably about the prince!"

The queen nodded lightly, and said: "There is no other way, there is nothing left in the harem so far, Lafayette is the most anxious!"

"A few days ago, when my mother came here, she mentioned something. Sister, why don't you think about it? I think it's a good idea!" Concubine Shu said.

The queen asked her what was the matter, and Concubine Shu said, "Nowadays there is no child in the harem, so our pressure is naturally not as great as yours. It's not impossible that Lafayette is displeased with you." The queen listened and nodded.

Concubine Shu continued: "In the current situation, if there is no movement from your side, I'm afraid the emperor will depose you!"

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? I've said it all, this is God's will! Throughout the year, I may not be able to see the emperor a few times, so why talk about pregnancy?"

Concubine Shu comforted: "Sister, this is what I told you! Since you don't have a child yourself, why don't you bring someone else's?"
