Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 71 Do you hate me?

She straightened her body and saluted him: "My lord, the servants' skills are rough, and they made a fool of themselves in front of you, please forgive me!"

He didn't answer, she raised her eyes and said it again, and then he woke up, fake coughed twice, and said: "No, no, my lord, my lord really, really called me, surprise, surprise!"

He sighed in his heart, fortunately he was dressed as a woman and his face was thickly painted, otherwise, if word spread that his dignified prince blushed in front of a court lady, what would he do in the future?
Xin Yi Yingying bowed her body and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment! In fact, my lord, your performance is very good!"

"Forget it, don't say such consoling words!" He flicked his sleeves, "From now on, I won't learn to sing from others. If you said it like that today, I don't need to learn it!"

Xinyi thought she had bumped into him, so she quickly apologized, but he helped her up and said, "I'm not mistaken, you are an honest person!"

As he spoke, he let go of her arm and said with a smile, "It's just that your mouth is too powerful! I can't beat you!"

"That's because you, the lord, have a large number of people, and you deliberately gave way to the servants, otherwise, how can the servants be your opponent?" She said with a smile.

He just looked at her carefully, smiled and said nothing.

After being silent for a while, Xinyi said: "My lord, I won't bother you, I will leave now! Thank you, my lord, for calling me!"

After that, she saluted and was about to leave, but she heard him ask: "In the future, um, how about you come to my place to play more? If it's not convenient for you to ask for leave, I, I'll go to the emperor's brother to ask for it!"

She showed an unnatural smile, and said: "My lord, you love this servant, servant—"

"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, there is a meeting in Prince Yu's mansion. Come with me! I will pick you up at the palace. It will be fun. Go and see how those actors are doing and tell me about it!" He interrupted After reading her words, he approached her eyes and startled her.

"My lord, this, this is probably inappropriate!" She declined.

"Why?"

"Those who go to listen to the opera at Prince Yu's mansion must be dignitaries, slaves, slaves, how can slaves have that qualification!" She lowered her head.

He didn't seem to understand what she meant, and asked back: "You are the person I invited, who dares to say anything about you?" Seeing this embarrassment, he asked: "You, do you, do you despise me?"

She raised her head and stared at him in surprise, her heavy makeup covering his true face.

"My lord, don't say that, slaves deserve death!" She quickly knelt down.

He squatted down, raised her chin, stared at her face, and asked, "Because I'm the prince, do you despise me?"

Xinyi was completely dumbfounded, where in the world is there such a person?
"You are the prince, you are the only one who despises slaves, how dare slaves—" she replied in a low voice.

He smiled slightly, but said: "It's rare to find someone who dares to argue with me, how could I let him go?"

Questions filled her face.

"You are really different from others! Hey, why don't you stop working as an imperial servant and come to my place?" He asked with a smile, "I don't have as many rules as Brother Huang, and you can also sing opera and listen to music." , going out to play, isn't it more interesting than being in the palace?"

She grinned, with an unacceptable expression on her face.

"Oh, forget it! I won't force others," he stood up, leaning against the railing, "However, I will definitely go to you for the matter of the church!"

She was completely caught in a dilemma. Who would have expected him to be like this?If I had known earlier, I should stay away from him, but now I have suffered a lot.He is a prince, and he is a servant girl. The prince said so. If I refuse directly, I will suffer!Even if he doesn't want my life, he is such a strange person, what if one day he thinks of some weird way to take revenge on me?
After thinking about it, she finally came up with a solution, and she replied: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness! However, without the emperor's order or the approval of Manager Zhang, your servant can't leave the palace at will! Thank you, my lord!"

She bowed and saluted seriously, and when he heard it, it turned out to be the reason!

"I forgot about this! Then I'll go find Brother Huang, and leave it alone!"

With a bitter look on her face, she scolded herself five hundred times in her heart!
After a while, Ming Xuanting sent someone to see her off.

Looking at her back, he smiled lightly, rolled up his sleeves and sang again, recalling her performance just now, trying hard to learn, but still unable to learn, he sighed: "It seems that I really shouldn't sing again." learned!"

Xinyi returned to the palace, changed into the palace attire, and went to Zhang De's place to sell her vacation.And Ming Xuanyu was discussing something with the ministers in the main hall, when Xinyi heard that she was talking about the cutting of feudal clans, she quietly withdrew.

Back at Liuyunxuan, Lian'er said, "Lin Jieyu sent someone, please go to Jingyang Palace tomorrow."

The Lin Jieyu that Lian Er mentioned was Lin Yuhan. Although she only served her once, she was exceptionally promoted to the third-rank Jieyu.

From Lin Yuhan's entering the palace to serving in the bed and then to being promoted, the concubines in the harem have been puzzled. They don't understand what the emperor is interested in Lin Yuhan.

Although Lin Yuhan seems to be very lucky in the eyes of outsiders, but she knows that apart from being listed as the first talented person to serve the bedroom and being promoted, the emperor has never seen her or given her a reward, and That bedtime service also made her leave after the work was over, and it didn't make her feel his attachment to her at all.Therefore, even though he was promoted to Jieyu, Lin Yuhan was always in a state of anxiety.

People in the harem talk a lot, and she dare not speak out her worries, so she can only find Xinyi.

After all, Xinyi was the first person she met in the palace, and he was the one who helped her. Even in her heart, Xinyi was her lucky star.

Leaving aside these things, Xinyi is after all a person close to the emperor, and she more or less understands the emperor's thoughts better than others.

Therefore, Lin Yuhan sent someone to find Xinyi, but she was not there.

In fact, it was only three or four days since Lin Yuhan was promoted to Jieyu, and she had already deeply felt the coldness and fawning on her by the concubines.Living under the shadow of her stepmother since she was a child, although she is timid, she has some confidence in the psychology of others.That day, when Jieyu's decree was made, she sent someone to invite Xinyi over. Xinyi knew that Lin Yuhan was afraid, but she didn't know how to persuade her. She just told her to be careful in everything.

It's been a few days, why are you here again today?Xinyi is very strange.

"My lord, the imperial concubine seems to be very kind to Lin Jieyu!" Qiao'er said, and then told Xinyi some things that were spread by the court ladies.

"Really? That's a good thing! Just listen to it, don't interrupt! It's a matter of the harem, we don't have to mess with it!" Xinyi said.

The two court ladies still dare not forget the incident of Yuyan Gao last time, and they also obeyed Xinyi's words.

"My lord, there is just one thing," Lian'er said, "Will Lin Jieyu keep looking for you so many times, will you be implicated?"

Xinyi was also afraid that she would be involved in the harem battle. After all, Ming Xuanyu had warned her more than once. Besides, she had no other intentions in helping Lin Yuhan at the beginning, it was just out of sympathy. Who would have thought of this step today?

"But she is also a concubine after all, how dare I offend her!" She sighed.

However, she didn't understand, why did he promote Lin Yuhan?Is it necessary to do this play?
Xinyi didn't know that this afternoon, King Yu came to Qianqing Palace and talked with Ming Xuanyu for a long time, asking him not to agree to the proposal of cutting the vassal.This made him feel very bad!

Cutting the feudal clan, to be fair, is a good thing for the imperial court, and Ming Xuanyu is very clear about this.However, the prime minister raised this matter out of his own selfishness, Ming Xuanyu knew it better.

On the one hand, the prime minister encouraged Yu Shitai to make great efforts to investigate the vassal kings in various places, exposing the extravagance and lust and lawlessness of the vassal kings to the world, and on the other hand, he accepted the gifts and sincerity of the vassal kings.By doing this, he is getting the people and officials all over the world to support him and the court he leads. He wants to stand on the side of justice, because now, he is the one who controls the country's public opinion and the state machine.Now that the movement is so loud, it may not be true to cut down the feudal clan.

In many cases, state affairs are often just a cover for the power struggle of courtiers!

If his purpose is to attack and win over the lords of the Ming family by reducing the vassal, it is not a good thing for Ming Xuanyu, because once they form an alliance, even if Yang Dezhang does not usurp the throne, one day they will be among the vassals and the group. With the support of his ministers, he chose to establish a new king.

If Yang Dezhang made Ming Xuanyu and his prince forge an enmity by cutting the vassal, it would be very detrimental to Ming Xuanyu, just like what King Yu said this afternoon.

However, the vassal state, like the big clan, has become a cancer of the Ming state, and the court and the people have been overwhelmed.

The first emperor was also aware of this, so he prepared to cut down the vassal and weaken the power of the big clan, but the final result was that the power was left behind and he died with hatred.

Ming Xuanyu also knew that sooner or later the vassal state would be cut down, and the big clan would eventually have to be cut down too, but the time has not yet come.His current archenemy is Prime Minister Yang Dezhang, and if he can't regain power, he can't do anything.

However, now the matter of cutting down the feudal clan has pushed him into a corner, and all the ministers are waiting for his decision, but he is caught in a dilemma!

During dinner, someone from Qing'an Palace sent someone to say "Ms. Concubine De has sudden asthma", and Ming Xuanyu rushed over as soon as she heard it.Xinyi came out from the side hall, and was going to take advantage of his meal time to inquire about something, but he happened to pass by the door of the side hall, but walked past her as if he didn't see her.

Zhang De trotted behind him, turned to look at Xinyi, but saw that her eyes were suddenly dull, and the two books in her hand fell to the ground.

Xinyi quickly squatted down, and Xi'er came from behind her to help her pick it up.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er didn't understand why there were tears in Xinyi's eyes?

"It's okay, it was blown by the wind, it was blown by the wind!" Xinyi hurriedly wiped away her tears, handed the books in her hand to Xi'er, and said, "Put these two books back on the left shelf! You can go back after you're done." Rest, it's getting late!"

Xi'er took the order, but saw Xinyi walking back to Liuyunxuan with a sad face.

Qinglan Hall was still completely dark, and there were still only two lanterns.

"Could it be that Zhuang Xinyi has fallen in love with the emperor?" It was Eunuch Nian who asked the question.

"Yes, Xi'er's information is so accurate, I think it should be similar!" This is Hu Sheng.

"If this is the case, we have to find a way!" Eunuch Nian thought, "Zhuang Xinyi spent those years in Wu Nian Valley, and she has never seen a man except Wu Chen. Besides, the emperor is also very handsome, and the nine Honorable Fifth, it will be a matter of time before Zhuang Xinyi will be tempted."

"But, father-in-law, I'm afraid that if she reveals the matter of the master because of this, what should I do?" Hu Sheng was very worried.

Eunuch Nian smiled secretly and said, "Why did you forget, we still have her brother in our hands, even if her brother died accidentally, there are other ways to control her. Let's see if she wants to die or not?"

When Hu Sheng heard this, he immediately understood what Eunuch Nian was doing, and said with a smile, "Yes, I forgot about that. Unless she is dead, otherwise, she will never be able to escape in this life!"

Eunuch Nian nodded in satisfaction, and said, "If it wasn't for that, so many people who have been trained for so many years, wouldn't they just run away if they wanted to? Master has thought about this day from the very beginning. Just keep an eye on Zhuang Xinyi. If you find out She has a different heart, so she—"

Hu Sheng bowed to accept the order, and said: "Yes, don't worry, father-in-law, the subordinates have written it down!"

Eunuch Nian nodded and asked again, "Did Xi'er find anything from Xiufang?"
