Rebirth of the legitimate daughter: the daily life of His Majesty the Emperor’s beloved concubine

Ningcui Palace

"Going to the border? Is it true or not?" Le Xiuyi said excitedly, "Is the news true?"

"Ning An's news is of course true, are you happy?" Ning Meiren poked Le Xiu Yi on the head.

Although they have different positions, they are like sisters when they get along in private, and they never care about it.

"Of course it's true. The emperor told me personally." Suning'an pursed her lips, "The emperor said he would take you and the queen with him."

"That's great." Le Xiuyi patted the table excitedly, "Being in the palace all year round, my bones are going to be broken! When you go to the border, you can ride horses, shoot arrows, and hunt. I also heard that the customs of the border countries are different. The clothes, jewelry, food, wine, and even the language are all different, you can see them all there, I haven’t seen them yet, I’ll definitely have a good look at them when the time comes.”

"Really?" Although Su Ning'an had never been to that far away place, he couldn't help but yearn for it more and more after hearing what Le Xiuyi said.

"It's true, I've heard people say it before." Ning Meiren agreed, "But the wind and sand in the border area are very strong, and I heard that the people there don't have very good skin. We will have to bring some windproof things when the time comes. Otherwise, what should I do if it blows?"

"Oh, so that's it." Su Ning'an nodded. If Ning Meiren hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known about it. She had to tell Aunt Zheng when she got back.

He turned to Cuizhu and said, "Cuizhu, remember it for me."

"Yes." Cuizhu replied with a smile.

"But the royal family has always had the tradition of going to the border to visit the soldiers every few years, so as to appease the soldiers' morale and let them bathe in the royal kindness. But this seems to be the first time the emperor has gone there since he ascended the throne, right?"

Ning Meiren nodded, "No, but the Emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and now he is finally free." She asked Su Ning'an again: "But I heard that the Emperor will take the Queen with him, and we will also take him with him. I don't know why. Who will you take with you? Will you take Concubine De with you?"

"Why do you suddenly care about her?" Suningan peeled a grape and fed it to the green bamboo behind him.

"You don't know, since she entered the palace, she and Concubine De were at odds with each other. At first, when Ning Meiren was sleeping with her, Concubine De found troubles and punished her several times. Later, she stopped attending to Concubine De, and Concubine De stopped her. Talk to her, but this guy is vindictive. In the past, Concubine De and the Emperor still had some affection, but now there is nothing, so she can find a chance to talk to her to calm down."

"So that's it," Su Ning'an nodded, "It seems that Concubine De has offended a lot of people."

"Isn't that true?" Le Xiuyi took a sip of tea, looked at Ning Meiren and said, "Are you afraid that Concubine De will not have a good time with you? But since the incident with Zhao Chongyi, the emperor has not been to Concubine De's palace. , I probably won’t take her with me this time.”

Ning Meiren snorted softly, "It doesn't matter whether I wear it or not, she can't do anything to me anyway." As she spoke, she chewed melon seeds and stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist from time to time.

Although some palaces have small kitchens, the daily meals are still handled by the imperial kitchen.

The meals for Jiuxiao Palace and Fengyu Palace were sent by the imperial dining room on time every day. Logically speaking, Chaolu Palace should send people to pick them up every day, but who let Concubine Chen dote on her now? And there is the eldest prince, even though he and Concubine De are in the same concubine position, they are not the same.

If you don't flatter yourself, people will naturally come to you and try to flatter you. Since the small kitchen in Chaolu Palace is responsible for everything the eldest prince uses every day, the imperial dining room only needs to prepare Concubine Chen's meals every day.

When lunch was approaching, each palace sent people to the imperial dining room to get food, and they saw three pairs of chamberlains leaving the imperial dining room each carrying food boxes.

One pair of chamberlains went in the direction of Fengyu Palace, while the other two pairs of chamberlains went in the same direction, presumably to Chaolu Palace and Yuqian. It was impossible to say that the emperor would be dining with Concubine Chen today.

Although the Concubine De's palace has not held the lamp for a long time, she is still a concubine. Among the concubines in the harem, apart from Concubine Chen, the highest-ranking concubine is the Concubine De. Therefore, when people in the Concubine De's palace take food, the maids nearby will naturally not dare to snatch it. At the front.

"Sister Xiangmo."

Xiangmo nodded and saw that the maid gave way very wisely, so she stood first.

Because she was originally a person close to Concubine De and had been superior to others in the palace for many years, she glanced at the palace maid behind her and found that she didn't look very familiar, so she didn't want to talk to her. Unexpectedly, this palace maid was a talkative one, so she started chatting by herself.

"My servant heard that the emperor is going to the frontier, and I don't know which master will follow him. However, this is a rare opportunity to leave the palace. It would be great if he could accompany him and serve him."

"Borderland?" Xiangmo was slightly surprised, "Who did you listen to?"

The palace maid smiled happily, "I am very happy to hear from Sister Cuizhu in Chaolu Palace that Concubine Chen is preparing things for a trip. But the Emperor will also take Concubine De with him. Oh, really good."

Xiangmo straightened his expression and said with his usual arrogance, "This is natural."

The palace maid brought the meal and saw Xiang Mo's pace back to Yaohua Palace quickening again. She couldn't help but lower her head and hurried back to her own palace.

"Miss."

Ning Meiren looked at the meal in front of her, "Do they know?"

"Yes, as per the Imperial Concubine's instructions, I told the people in Concubine De's Palace, but I didn't mention Concubine De, and the fragrant ink in Concubine De's Palace did not recognize me. I only said that I heard it from Chaolu Palace."

Ning Meiren's hand on the table clenched slightly and finally nodded.

Yaohua Palace

"frontier?"

"Yes, I heard this when I was getting a meal in the imperial dining room. I heard that the emperor has prepared to take Concubine Chen there, and the queen will probably go with her, but I don't know..." Xiangmo looked at it carefully. Yan Defei said, "Who else will go?"

Concubine De tightened her handkerchief after hearing this. Going to the frontier is indispensable for riding and shooting. Although she is not as good as the queen, she is still good at it. If she can accompany the emperor, she may be able to regain his favor.

"Get ready, we will go to the imperial palace later."

·······

"Your Majesty." Shen Yanzhui came out of Chaolu Palace and saw Concubine De waiting outside the imperial study from a distance. His eyes froze, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Concubine De purse her lips and remain silent, she could only say, "Come in."

Concubine De followed Shen Yanzhui into the imperial study room as she was told, "What do you want to do at this time?"

Ana Shen looked at the snacks she took out from the food box and pushed them aside with her hands.

Concubine De's face froze, "I heard that the emperor wants to inspect the border, I don't know if it is true."

Ana Shen glanced at her lightly, "Do you want to go?"

"It's rare to leave the palace, and I also want to relax."

Shen Yanzhui glanced at Concubine De. She seemed to be at peace since she came back from the palace. As long as she didn't cause trouble, it didn't matter if she took her with her.

So he nodded and said, "You will go too. Go back to the palace and prepare to go."

Concubine De was pleasantly surprised and was about to withdraw when she heard the emperor say solemnly: "Be calm."

Concubine De's heart trembled and she couldn't help but glance at the emperor.

"I have been with you for many years. Except when I lost my mind, I have never disobeyed the emperor. I know that the emperor cares about Concubine Chen now and gives her supreme honor. Naturally, I don't dare to do anything else." Concubine De looked at her. He glanced at the emperor, gritted his teeth and said, "Even though the emperor has lost his affection, I still can't let go of the time I had with His Majesty in my heart."

Shen Yanzhui glanced at Concubine De, sighed softly, waved his hand, and finally said nothing.

Tonight is not the day to stay in the Queen's Palace, but it is rare for Fengyu Palace to welcome a holy knight.

Not only the palace people, but also the queen were very surprised.

Ever since she forced him to accept Jiang Yirou last time, the emperor had never visited her again.

"emperor."

"There is no need to be polite, Queen." Shen Yanzhui glanced at the Queen and shook his head, "Get ready, I will be inspecting the border in a while, you will go with me."
