old friends return

In the evening, Ruan Shifang from the respect room came over and handed a note to Concubine Yan of Luanyi Palace, which meant that the emperor was staying with her tonight. Concubine Yan smiled and asked Lan Xi to take the note, seemingly unintentionally. He generously handed Ruan Shifang a few golden pegs.

Then Ruan Shifang naturally took it with a smile on her face, "I thank you, my lady, and my lady is really good. I always come to you for ten days every month. You are always like this, and this servant can hardly bear it." Concubine Yan also said: Just listening to him being polite there, looking at his newly painted nails today without saying a word.

Ruan Shifang raised her orchid finger slightly: "How can you say that you are the only one who is favored by Concubine Yan, how can other people dare to compare with you!" Concubine Yan accepted his flattery with a smile, "Elder-in-law is tired all day, go back and have a good rest soon Let's go." "Yes, if you have something to do in the future, just tell the servant, and the servant will leave now." After saying that, she saluted and stepped back, Concubine Yan didn't let Lanxi who was next to him go see him off, but said to Lanxi, "serve Let me take a bath, don't delay the hour."

"Yes, I will bathe you now." Lan Xi blessed herself slightly, and then asked the little maid who served outside to bring in the water that had been prepared earlier.

As expected, Emperor Hengde drove to Luanyi Palace after an hour, and Concubine Yan, who had finished bathing and grooming, saluted Emperor Hengde gracefully, "My concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."

Emperor Hengde smiled and helped her up, "My concubine has been waiting for a long time, I have something to delay today, go to the house quickly." , the concubine will be satisfied." Concubine Yan was held by Emperor Hengde, and she leaned into his arms softly and acted like a baby.

Emperor Hengde laughed very happily when he heard the words, "It seems that my concubine misses me very much these few days?" At this time, he had entered the main hall of Luanyi Palace, Emperor Hengde waved his hand back, and everyone immediately Then he retreated, leaving only Emperor Hengde and Concubine Yan in the entire palace.

Under the light of the candlelight, Concubine Yan's cheeks were slightly reddened. Concubine Yan shyly clenched her pink fist and lightly hammered Emperor Hengde's chest twice, "Your Majesty..." The voice was so charming that she had to turn two more turns , "You know how to bully concubines!"

Emperor Hengde just smiled and said nothing, Concubine Yan dragged him to the bedside, "Your Majesty, this concubine misses you..."

The curtain is lightly closed, and the inside is naturally red and covered with waves.

After some cloud and rain, Concubine Yan leaned in Emperor Hengde's arms, her fingers circling restlessly on Emperor Hengde's chest, but there was a trace of cruelty in her eyes, and when Emperor Hengde's breathing finally stopped After hurrying, he asked, "Your majesty, I heard that the prince was punished by you again today?"

Seeing that Emperor Hengde didn't speak, Concubine Yan continued to think about it and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is rebellious by nature, maybe it's because the birth mother left early. After all, my sister failed to watch her child grow into a talent. Your majesty, don't treat the prince well." No matter how strict it is, the prince is still a child after all!"

"That's enough, don't mention the prince's biological mother in front of me! I don't want to hear about that unworthy son and his mother today!" Emperor Hengde's face darkened when he heard the words "the prince's biological mother". "Concubine Yan, don't plead for the crown prince, I punish him for his own good."

Concubine Yan sneered in her heart, whoever pleaded with Cheng Muzhi's little bastard, you see, wouldn't you be even angrier if you mentioned it like this?However, the expression on his face was really aggrieved, and he looked at Emperor Hengde, "Your Majesty, my concubine really loves the prince, after all, he is still growing, and the emperor will change some methods in the future, so don't make him kneel all the time. "Added another sentence at the end, the tone was really pitiful, as if just frightened by Emperor Hengde's anger, "The concubine knows, I won't mention my sister again in the future." After finishing speaking, she burrowed into Emperor Hengde's arms After a while, he hugged Emperor Hengde, with a very well-behaved look, and did not forget to raise his head to act like a baby to Emperor Hengde, "Your Majesty, let's go to bed."

Emperor Hengde held Concubine Yan's willow waist with his arm, and his love for this considerate and sensible concubine increased.

In the early morning of the next day, Concubine Yan waited on Emperor Hengde to get dressed and prepared to go to court. She knelt down and buckled the bright yellow belt for Emperor Hengde. Lovely, "How about the emperor come to my concubine for lunch today? The concubine just learned to cook a new dish a few days ago, how about the emperor come over and try it today?"

Emperor Hengde held her hand and squeezed it gently, and said, "I had lunch at Concubine Yang's place, and I haven't been to her place for many days. I'll go and see you today, and I'll come back to you in a few days." ?” A trace of resentment flashed in Concubine Yan’s eyes, Concubine Yang?An old woman came to steal her favor?However, she disappeared very quickly, and continued her gentleness and understanding, "Yes, that concubine will be waiting for you, the emperor, at noon tomorrow."

Su Wenquan, who was outside the door, saw that the time was almost up, and finally couldn't help but urge him, "Your Majesty, the Yin hour is almost over, it's time to go." Although Emperor Hengde is not a wise emperor, fortunately, he will never be lazy in the morning court every day. , so he straightened his collar and left the gate of Luanyi Palace without responding to Concubine Yan's words.

After the emperor left, Concubine Yan lazily lay down on the couch, and called Lan Xi to come over and squeeze her shoulders. Another maid was taking a towel that had just been soaked in a traditional Chinese medicine basin, and applying it to her face, gently Knead it on top.Concubine Yan is already 33 years old. She entered the palace at the age of 15 and gave birth to the first prince, Cheng Muze, for Emperor Hengde at the age of 16. Apart from her deep city and prominent family background, she is always favored by Emperor Hengde. Self-care is even more meticulous.

The pigeon "cuckoo" came from the small window. Concubine Yan moved her finger, and Lan Xi immediately grabbed the pigeon in her hand, untied the letter tied to the pigeon's paw, and Lan Xi moved her finger twice more, The pigeon flew away in an instant and was lost.

Concubine Yan didn't say anything, and Lan Xi just stood by and waited until the maid took off the scarf from her face before she said, "Yan Qi's letter? It's been more than ten days, and finally it's here." Order some news." Lan Xi nodded and handed the letter to her, "Perhaps Yan Xiang has too many things in his hands recently?"

Of course she just casually followed up with what Concubine Yan said, and Concubine Yan naturally wouldn't say too much to her, she just held the letter in her hand and read it carefully.Zuo Xiang has been thinking of winning military power for his good nephew Cheng Muze recently, but there are not many soldiers in the imperial city, and the guards are royal soldiers who only listen to Emperor Hengde alone, so they have to think about it elsewhere There are several generals leading troops outside.Recently, he is busy dealing with General Han who holds a heavy army. Although this man has a tough temper like a stinky rock, the military power in his hand is really enviable.

The letter briefly introduced the content of his recent negotiations with General Han. A letter to win over was sent to the west after a month, but was returned a few days ago, without even removing the wax on it. He was sent back without moving.
