Gongshang Confidante

After an upheaval, Emperor Jing Hong leaned on the couch, looked at Qingxi who was closing his eyes beside the pillow, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyelashes were trembling, and he looked fragile and fragile. The suppressed voice, moist eyes, and the fragility of pear blossoms with rain, let the emperor, who has always been in poor health, enjoy the joy of a man galloping and linger.

Emperor Jing Hong rubbed her brows, put her shoes on the couch, and ordered someone to change clothes. The slight movement still awakened Qingxi. She opened her eyes and got up to serve, "You just need to rest", the emperor lovingly embraced her. The waist that crosses Qingxi is slender and soft, and she can't put it down being kneaded.

Qingxi was slightly stiff, dodging, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty...", "What's there to be ashamed of?" The emperor reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, and said with a pleasant smile, "I will come to see you in a few days." .

Outside the door, Li Chengqian, the former imperial eunuch, was guarding outside. Seeing the emperor coming out, he bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, should you stay or not?",

Emperor Jing Hong paused, and said without hesitation, "Don't stay." The gentle and tender man beside his pillow turned into a majestic bright yellow dragon robe in the night, the symbol of the emperor.

Li Chengqian beckoned, and the nanny carrying the medicine box walked into the hall, took out a black soup and put it on the table, exuding a bitter medicinal smell, he raised his voice and said without emotion, "Please use the Bizi soup, nobleman." .

Qingxi didn't care about Li Chengqian's high airs. Compared with the eunuchs who had served the emperors of two dynasties, she was born as a court lady, even if she was named a nobleman, as long as she had no heirs, she was inferior.

The emperor's heirs are rare, but it doesn't mean that anyone is qualified to give birth to royal heirs. With Qingxi's background, she is not qualified.

What surprised Li Chengqian was that all the concubines who were given Bizi soup in the past were ashen-faced, full of resistance and resistance, and some even cried and pissed, and had to be forced to drink the soup by the maids.

And the noble man Xi in front of him didn't even frown, raised a cup to his lips, opened his lips to drink, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li."

Li Chengqian's eyes showed admiration, he was indeed well-behaved and could please the emperor, he left after a few orders, leaving Qingxi sitting alone by the window, his face pale, and the cramping pain in his stomach made her nails die Hold on to the edge of the case.

"Your Honor", the door was pushed open, and Xia Sha came in behind the maid, Qingxi raised her eyelids slightly, sweating on her forehead, saw Xia Sha hiding behind the maid, her face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit , drooping his head, looking listless.

"Jing'er, order people to prepare water for bathing", Qingxi ordered, her breath was like a silk thread, her face was pale and bloodless, Jing'er smelled the smell of medicine in the air, squinted at the empty lamp on the table, sighed softly, turned and went out and go.

After Jing'er retreated, only Xia Sha was left standing in the hall in a daze, with her head down, not speaking.

"What are you doing in a daze, help me change my clothes", Qingxi's voice was weak, like dew rolling on a leaf, if touched lightly, it would drip into the soil and disappear.

Xia Sha bowed her head and walked to the front, Qingxi supported her hand to stand up, and stretched out her arms, Xia Sha keenly smelled the masculine breath left on her body, mixed with ambergris and slightly bitter medicine.

The closer you get, the more pronounced the bitter smell of the medicine is, the little grasshopper is most afraid of drinking medicine. Xia Sha stretched out her hand and unbuttoned her belt, and the clothes gradually widened, revealing a pink apron embroidered with dancing butterflies. , The little red marks on the collarbone were bright and glaring, Xia Sha was stunned, she quickly turned her face away, and pinched her fingertips into her palm.

"Turn your head away, how can you change your clothes for this nobleman?" Qingxi's weak tone was sarcasm, and as she opened her lips, the bitter taste of medicine swept over her mouth,

"My lord, have you taken the medicine? I'll fetch you the sweet dates for you," Xia Sha said, her voice so hoarse that it almost became breathless. She knew that after drinking the medicine, the little grasshopper must be coaxed by the sweet dates.

"Stop!", Qingxi raised her voice, panted slightly, touched the red marks on her skin with her fingers, and said, "Do you think I'm still the one you can coax with a sweet date?",

The scorching red marks hurt Xia Sha's eyes. She lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, "You are so timid. You dared to treat me like that. Now, you don't even dare to look at me." Qingxi The voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he took off his underwear,

Xia Sha bit her lip, raised her head abruptly, and stared at her hard, her eyes were red and bloodshot, her hands clenched into fists, her whole body trembling unconsciously.

"Don't even dare to touch me with a single finger..." Qingxi was wearing a bellyband, stretched out a finger, the fingertip trembled slightly, and poked vigorously in front of Xia Sha's forehead until the nails were on her smooth forehead After leaving the red seal, he hummed in satisfaction, "Get back, I'm upset when I see you, and you are not allowed to appear in front of me without my order!".

Xia Sha stood still, trembling slightly, when Qingxi passed by her, she grabbed Qingxi's wrist, pulled her back, and hugged her tightly.

"Let go!" Qingxi's soft voice was full of anger, she was weak all over, and her stomach was in pain from time to time, and she couldn't break free from Xiasha's shackles, so she could only rebuke, "You dare to be rude to this nobleman, and you dare to offend me. Already?!".

Xia Sha wrapped her arms around her waist, hugged her tightly, put her head on her shoulders, and said nothing, "Do you really think I dare not call someone in?!", Qingxi's face was ashen, and she wanted to shout People, wetness came from the shoulders, and tears fell on the shoulders, collarbone, and wet the apron.

"Little... Grasshopper...", Xia Sha shouted in a low voice, her voice was hoarse, and every word was filled with pain, Qingxi's brows were wrinkled, her eyes were moist, and she still said mockingly, "Why, who borrowed your courage to touch the emperor's woman?",

"My, heart, it hurts, it hurts...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xia Sha said with a trembling voice, biting her lips tightly, suppressing the voice that was about to cry, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Qingxi, who had her arms wrapped around her, frowned in pain, but let her hug her,

Qingxi turned her face, leaned close to her ear, bit her earlobe fiercely, and was hugged by Xia Sha so hard that her temples were dripping with sweat, her voice was panting slightly, and she said every word very slowly and clearly, "I know you I'm afraid, it's okay",

Xia Sha groaned in pain, and did not let go of her hands at all. Qingxi smiled lowly in her ear, wrapped her hands behind her, and held her hand.

When two equally cold hands touched each other, Qingxi was in unbearable pain, while Xiasha was filled with reluctance, anger, and fear.

Two cold hands, holding each other, can't give each other warmth, numb,

Qingxi shook off her hand, took two steps back, his face became even paler, bowed his waist, covered his lower abdomen, and said with difficulty, "If you are afraid, stay away from me!".

Xia Sha shook her head, and took two steps closer to her. Qingxi stumbled back, with a vigilant face, and shouted loudly, "Come on!", when footsteps came from outside the door, Xia Sha stopped, and straightened on the spot. Looking at it, Qingxi sneered slightly, and turned around.

After taking the Bizi Decoction, it would cause intermittent and short-lived severe pain, this is not the first time, the palace lady has already prepared tonics and waited for Qingxi to soak her body in hot water to relieve the pain and gradually restore her complexion.

A few days later, when the emperor drove to the Moon Palace again, he saw Qingxi in full makeup and fine attire, with an affectionate smile and picturesque eyes.

Emperor Jinghong loved Qingxi because of her simplicity and gentleness, because she didn't understand court affairs and harem battles. It wasn't the emperor's rewards and thrones, and I'm afraid she didn't know how to ask for them either.

Compared with concubines from aristocratic families, those insinuating words and flattering actions are all for the sake of blowing some wind by the emperor's pillow, and the daughter's family is coquettishly begging for the status of the harem. The emperor knows it, but acquiesces, because as the emperor, why not Taking the opportunity to win over the power of the great aristocratic families by accepting concubines, he stabilized the throne.

But the conspiracy and power played for too long, he would be tired, with Qingxi, the emperor felt very comfortable, and unconsciously, the number of times he went to the palace became more.

Tonight, after the emperor came to Qingxi, he did not leave immediately, but lay on the couch, hugged Qingxi, played with her hanging hair, rubbed her pointed chin with his fingertips, looked carefully, and said, " I see that your complexion is pale, and your body is much thinner..."

"Recently, I've been a little restless, the imperial concubine..." Qingxi rubbed her forehead with a gentle smile, "Did she make things difficult for you?!" The emperor sat up straight, his face slightly stern, and he asked in a serious tone.

Qingxi stroked the green silk to one side, bent over, and took out a string of Buddhist beads from the pillow. A faint fragrance wafted through the beads. The beads were round and carved with Buddha statues on all sides. The color was very good. Not good, tossing and turning makes it difficult to sleep, and it is the kindness of the empress to present a special gift of the vajra beads to protect the body and ward off evil spirits."

"Ningrong really has a heart," Emperor Jing Hong replied casually, his eyelids slightly raised, and seeing the Buddhist beads in Qingxi's hand, he felt a little familiar.

The words were understated, but the emperor's expression was still condensed. Holding Qingxi's slender shoulders, he said, "Xi'er, I gave you a name and wealth, but I couldn't give you a distinguished background. My pity for you will bring Do you know the censure of many?",

"The emperor has the world in mind, and the ministers and concubines will live in a corner and wait for the emperor quietly. There is no other request." Qingxi bowed her head and replied obediently, leaning her head gently on Emperor Jing Hong's shoulder.

As Qingxi approached, the fragrance of the body, mixed with the fragrance of Buddhist beads, familiar smells, familiar words, this situation made Emperor Jing Hong a little dazed, and he thought of that short but brilliant moment like haze. woman……

"Zhen, I will..." Protecting you, the words that were almost blurted out were lost on his lips, and Emperor Jing Hong raised his arms to embrace Qingxi, his eyes widened.

He had promised such a promise, but in the end, the beautiful figure dancing in the plum grove turned into a soul that sadly disappeared in the world.
