Millennium drunk

The sedan chair was already prepared, and when they arrived at Zihuan Hall, the yellow gate in front of the hall was startled seeing Xia Ruoqing.However, the yellow gates in front of the imperial court were all elf characters, so they immediately covered up the discoloration on their faces, and hurriedly entered the hall to report.

After getting the transmission, Xia Ruoqing walked in along the way.She hadn't been here for more than a year, and the furnishings inside were all the same, as if time had stood still here.Emperor Nanzhao had just returned from the imperial study and was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion for a meal. Although the dishes on the table were exquisite, they were not luxurious.

Xia Ruoqing knelt down Yingying and saluted.Emperor Nanzhao sat at the head, without putting down the ivory chopsticks in his hand, looking at Xia Ruoqing with great interest, and let her kneel like this.

The two went up and down, and there was a long silence before Emperor Nanzhao laughed and said, "Concubine Jinggui came here today in full attire, I don't know why?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, my concubine felt cold during Yuanshuo's day, so I missed the gift of celebrating the new year, and I was rude. I am well today, and I have come here to plead guilty to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

"Oh, this matter. The illness comes like a mountain, and no one can control it. No one can blame you. It's not a big deal, and you don't have to go to the Queen Mother's side."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Emperor Nanzhao paused for a moment, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Apart from this matter, Concubine Jinggui really has nothing else to do?"

"This concubine came here today only to ask for Yuan Shuo's crime. I am stupid, I really don't know what your majesty is referring to?"

Emperor Nanzhao snorted quietly and said, "Raise your head."

Xia Ruoqing raised her head as she said, with drooping eyelids and soft eyes, she met Emperor Nanzhao's gaze and did not avoid it.

"Concubine Jinggui, you have to know that Zihuan Palace is no better than before. You can come here whenever you want. If there is something, it's better to make it clear."

"The concubine is really stupid, I don't know what your majesty means."

"Xia Changze and your mother's siblings were all detained in Fenglei Prison. Could it be that Concubine Jinggui wants to be wise and protect her life, and isn't planning to intercede for her parents, siblings?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine dare not. The Xia family has been favored by Nantang's past dynasties and holds important positions in the court. They should try their best to relieve His Majesty's worries, but his father has gone astray and failed to follow the right path. His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Punishments to check several times. Well, I didn't wrong my father half a cent, so how can my concubine continue to defend my father regardless of black and white? The Xia family's glory, down to food and clothing, are all bestowed by His Majesty, and everything belongs to His Majesty. And the way to govern the country is to follow the law. According to the evidence, His Majesty disposes of it according to the law, so how can I place a concubine? Although I am the daughter of the Xia family, I have read several sage books since I was a child. A concubine who serves His Majesty in the harem should do the work of a concubine. On the day he makes amends to his parents, the concubine will ask His Majesty to step down and give her silk, just to show loyalty and filial piety."

Emperor Nanzhao listened quietly, his expression gradually softened, he nodded and said: "You are sensible, it is not in vain that I have pampered you for many years, just get up."

Xia Ruoqing stood up as she said, but still stood there with her head bowed.Emperor Nanzhao couldn't help laughing, and said: "What are you doing so far away from me? Is it possible that I will bite people? Come here."

When Xia Ruoqing walked to her side, Emperor Nanzhao looked sideways at the painting on her face, raised his brows lightly, and raised his hand to rub it left and right, but saw that the pattern was not blurred as usual, and there was no falling off painting on his hand. Mi Fen couldn't help being a little surprised: "The painting on your face is very delicate, isn't it painted with Mi Fen?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the painting on my face is embroidered with silver needles."

"Silver needle?" Emperor Nanzhao frowned, chuckled, and said clearly: "In this way, the day of Yuanshuo, concubine Jinggui, is probably not just a simple infection of wind and cold, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, how dare I lie to Your Majesty? My concubine was indeed infected with a cold on the first day of Yuanshuo, and later induced a cold rash. My concubine's cold rash developed on my face, and I couldn't bear the itching, so I scratched some scars. My concubine is afraid of the cold. After the rash healed, the scars left on the face were unsightly, and the paintings made with rice cents at the concubine's meeting on New Year's Eve were not resistant to high heat and were easy to fall off. One is to cover up flaws, and the other is to be regarded as a concubine's selfishness, His Majesty Wang Bo smiles. If His Majesty doesn't like it, this concubine... then retreat."

"Oh, so that's the case." Emperor Nanzhao nodded and replied, "Concubine Jinggui is very careful. The silver needle pierced her face, and I'm afraid it will be unbearably painful, so it's hard for you."

"My concubine's body, hair, skin and skin are from my parents, but my parents were born in Nantang, and I have to bear everything from inside and outside to your majesty. As long as your majesty is happy, that little pain is nothing."

"Okay, okay. Ruoqing, you are the one who can talk the most in this palace, and it makes me feel comfortable to hear it. Those makeups made with rice cents are really unbearable, not to mention crude, and sometimes I stroke them on the face. I made my hands full of rice points, and the pictures were blurred, which is very disappointing. By the way, you are coming here now, I am afraid that you have not eaten yet. Come, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Concubine Jing, and eat with me .”

The waiter at the side hurriedly answered Huangmen, and went down to prepare.Xia Ruoqing sat sideways on the lower seat of Emperor Nanzhao, with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, her words were gentle, if others didn't know the inside story, how could they know that someone close to her was imprisoned and would be in great trouble?

The Nanzhao Emperor's every move affected the hearts of thousands of people, and the news that the noble concubine Xia Ruoqing was back in favor spread all over the harem the next day.All the concubines in the palace were angry and jealous, and there were not a few who were gnashing their teeth, but few of them dared to imitate Xia Ruoqing's actions and embroidered pictures on their faces.The Xia family's case involved a lot and was widely known. The files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were clearly displayed, and the result was a foregone conclusion. Therefore, there were a lot of discussions inside and outside the palace for a while, and everyone wanted to see how Xia Ruoqing would end up in the end.

The Nanzhao harem is like a river of water, with an undercurrent rushing.But even though the undercurrent is turbulent, there are always a few dead corners that are calm and unwavering. For example, Yufeng Palace is as calm and leisurely as ever.

However, this tranquility is also divided into time periods. When Su Lingyu is not around, it is quite peaceful. Once Su Lingyu comes over, there will be an endless stream of concubines in the palace who come to ask for peace. Some are overwhelmed.

It was so easy to dismiss Zhao Fangyi who came over to say hello that day. As soon as Jun Yihuang entered the warm pavilion, she saw Su Lingyu lazily leaning on the corner couch eating grapes, her eyebrows and eyes slightly narrowed, looking carefree.

"You'll hide here and relax, and leave everyone to me." Jun Yihuang took off her cloak, waved the maid out, and sat on the corner couch with her arms on the charcoal stove to keep warm.

"You also know that I've been exhausted recently, and I don't have the energy to talk nonsense with them. What's more, this is Yufeng Palace, you are the master and I am the guest, so it is natural for you to block people."

"Are you very tired and lack of energy?" Jun Yihuang looked sideways at Su Lingyu, the corners of her lips could not help twitching slightly, "I didn't see it, but you don't need to ask for morning greetings, and your majesty doesn't need to wait, I eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, but in just [-] days, I have gained a lot of fat, and even the clothes I used to cover my body are getting tight..."

A grape was stuffed in Jun Yihuang's mouth at the right time, blocking her next words.A flower was about to burst into a smile on Su Lingyu's face, and she was full of shame: "I have gained a lot of weight for nothing, it is obvious that those clothes have shrunk after being exposed to boiling water. Junjun, try it, these grapes are from Xitai. The tribute brought by the boat does not even need to be peeled, it is sweet."

Jun Yihuang squinted at Su Lingyu, pushed the grape away, and asked scoldingly: "Negongsi just delivered it? Why didn't I know? You just stuffed it in your mouth like this? Has anyone seen it? "

"Hey, I've seen it, Yihuang, don't worry about it all day, I'm not stupid." Su Lingyu fiddled with the grapes on her fingertips needlessly, "Nurse Xi has checked, and the rosary has also been tasted." Now, no problem, you can rest assured to eat."

After finishing speaking, Su Lingyu persevered and brought the grapes back to Jun Yihuang's mouth.This time Jun Yihuang didn't refuse any more, she opened her mouth to swallow it, her teeth closed lightly, the thin skin burst open, and the rich and sweet grape juice inside instantly overflowed her cavity, it really was the best fresh western region horse.

"Yihuang, isn't it sweet?" Before Jun Yihuang swallowed the grape, Su Lingyu had already picked a second one and fed it to her mouth. He knelt down beside her like a cat, his eyes bent into A crescent moon.

"It's less than three months old, so you have to be careful when you go in and out. It depends on whether you sit or not all day, you are a mother, so there are no rules! Get up, lean on!" Jun Yihuang half-true Half-fake anger, dragged Su Lingyu up and leaned against the soft pillow, and lifted the brocade quilt beside her to cover her up, "Also, I said you are not allowed to call me Yihuang, no matter how big or small."

"It's so delicate." Su Lingyu was wrapped into a round rice dumpling, she couldn't help smiling bitterly, but she was very honest and didn't struggle.

"Don't be delicate, why did you faint in the main hall on New Year's Eve." Jun Yihuang gave Su Lingyu a glance, "I don't even know that I am pregnant, how did Qingxiao take care of you! Such a disturbance is unbelievable Knowing that you are pregnant, I can't hide it."

"My menstruation is always chaotic, so I don't know that I'm pregnant this time... Besides, if someone really wants to know about this kind of thing, how can I hide it? Then Jinggui concubine worked so hard, didn't she not keep it in the end?"

Jun Yihuang sighed lightly, knowing that Su Lingyu was right.Moreover, just after New Year's Eve and early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, an urgent news came from the northern border. On New Year's Eve, the chief general of Ziyu Jiang Feiyang used a plan to lure the main army of Beidi into the Panshe Gorge, severely defeating the main army of Beidi, and injured Hu Yan, the chief general of Beidi with arrows. Pavilion, burned most of Beidi's food and grass, and forced Beidi's army to retreat northward for more than a hundred miles.In addition, the Empress Dowager had a chronic illness that had lingered for a long time, and she always had headaches in the morning and evening. I don't know if it is a New Year's weather, but it has not happened for more than twenty days after the new year.The Empress Dowager and Emperor Nanzhao linked these matters with the news of Su Lingyu's pregnancy on New Year's Eve. Yu Chi was granted the title of noble concubine, and two imperial doctors took care of the fetus, and checked the pulse three times in the morning, afternoon and evening.Su Lingyu's father, Su Hong, was also very happy, and immediately picked two medical girls and two nuns from outside the palace to guard Su Lingyu. Once again, two medical women tried to eat it, and finally handed it over to Su Lingyu.Jun Yihuang took all of Su Lingyu's clothes and accessories into Yufeng Palace for laundering, and no longer handed them over to the Palace Cleaning Supervisor for laundering.Such protection is comparable to the treatment of a queen, and there will be no problems in the future.
