Nanfei

There were turmoil in the previous dynasty, and the harem was not peaceful.

In the early morning of this day, the maid was dressing up for Empress Zhou when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Empress Zhou's heart skipped a beat, she stroked the broken hair on her temples, and told the eldest maid Bi Liu to go out and have a look.

Bi Liu went out for a while, then turned back, frowning: "Queen, someone from the Leng Palace came to answer, and the people from the Qin Palace disappeared at [-]:[-]."

"It's a pity for such a beautiful woman like flowers and jade." Empress Zhou sighed pitifully: "Although the people of the Qin Palace have been demoted to court ladies, they have served the emperor once after all, and there must be some concerns about their dignity behind this. buried it."

The palace seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, the life in the palace is the least valuable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that life is like grass.After the death of a palace official with a decent status, the higher-ups will give special grace to allow their corpse to return to their hometown and be buried. An ordinary and humble palace maid who dies is nothing more than a handful of loess and a straw mat, dragged out of the corner gate and buried at will There are even some poor people who can't even find their bodies.

Bi Liu withdrew to pass on a message, Empress Zhou looked at the bronze mirror with a refreshed expression, her complexion slightly evoked a mocking smile: "Qingmei, lighten my makeup for me."

Qingmei stepped forward to redress Empress Zhou according to her words, Empress Zhou lifted her chin slightly to facilitate her use, coughed lightly: "I don't know if it's because of the cold spring, I didn't feel well last night." After finishing speaking, she frowned, Cough slightly.

Qingmei and Biliu served Empress Zhou as children. From the Zhou mansion into the palace to the deep palace, the three of them depended on each other, and their love for each other was different from others. It is also very cold in the morning and evening, and if you are not careful, you will catch the wind, so this slave girl will go and ask the imperial physician to show the empress."

Empress Zhou nodded slightly.

Qi Yu Shi Shiran came to Kunning Palace at just the right time, neither too early nor too late, just in time for the imperial physician to walk out of Kunning Palace, the palace attendants who led the imperial physician retreated to the side, respectfully saluted, the imperial physician was really shocked , there is such a peerless young man in the world, but the one who can enter the Kunning Palace to diagnose the queen's pulse is naturally not a problem, and there is a bit of winking. Although he doesn't know the identity of the visitor, he knelt on one side as a gesture of kindness. Respect, let the visitor pass.

Qi Yu glanced sideways at the few people and waved his hands. With the other hand on his waist, he walked in slowly with his belly upright. Looking from behind, his figure looked a bit like a pregnant person.

The imperial physician accidentally glanced at the silhouette, and was slightly surprised, was this stuffed or really stuffed?

Qi Yu entered the main hall of Kunning Palace. At this time, all the concubines, big and small, were complete. Empress Zhou sat at the head, but her face was a little haggard, and her whole body seemed tired.

Qi Yu invited Ann honestly, Empress Zhou just glanced at him, didn't say anything, and asked him to sit down and serve him some tea.

Qi Yu leaned on the back of the chair, still keeping his hands on his waist: "When the concubine came in, I just saw the imperial doctor leave, and now I see the empress's face is a little pale, could it be that the empress is a little unwell today? "Looked at Queen Zhou with a concerned face.

"Thank you, Concubine Nan, for thinking about it." Empress Zhou smiled slightly: "It wasn't a big deal at first, but I accidentally caught a cold yesterday, and I started to feel unwell today. I don't mind it, but the people below are anxious to go. Inviting the imperial physician here has exhausted all the younger sisters and made them worry."

"These slaves are too careless in serving you." Concubine Qiao Xian raised her brows upside down, her eyes were like poisoned knives, and she greeted Bi Liu Qingmei. The cold and sharp voice on the side continued: "The queen's phoenix body violates the harmony, and you can't find out in time to ask for a doctor. It's useless to keep such careless slaves."

Bi Liu Qingmei knelt down on the ground with a thump when she was sharply reprimanded, Concubine Qiao Xian stared at her, as if she wanted to nail them in place forever, Empress Zhou rubbed her forehead: "It's not because they are careless in serving. "Queen Zhou pursed her lower lip and said, "It's because I ate a few more green peaches because of my greed for coolness and appetite."

Empress Zhou said helplessly, and then Concubine Qiao Xian withdrew her gaze from looking at Bi Liu, sat down, and muttered: "Qingtao is not a rare thing, there is something delicious, sour and not slippery."

"Peaches are cool and plums are hot. Although it is not the season for peaches to ripen, the taste of green peaches is a bit sour, but it also has a delicate fragrance to eat." Qi Yu said with a smile: "The empress has a special opinion on food, which makes my concubines admire Endless."

Qi Yu flattered happily, and the other concubines gave a slightly far-fetched smile to agree.

Empress Zhou smiled faintly: "It's not about opinion, it's just that although this green peach tastes bitter, the aftertaste is mild and long. It's rare that Concubine Nan likes it too. You might as well take a plate home and taste it when you leave."

Qi Yu got up to thank her, jokingly said: "When I came here, I didn't bring anything to honor the queen, but when I went back, I was greedy for the favor of Empress Pan. The concubine is really ashamed."

Concubine Qiao Xian looked sideways at the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's boring to eat alone. It's rare that everyone is complete today. The empress can't just favor Nanfei's younger brother. It should be taken out for everyone to enjoy together."

Bright eyes swept over everyone, Concubine Feng De put down the teacup in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's delicious to hear what the Queen and Concubine Nan said, and I can't wait to taste the green peach."

Concubine Wei Shu lowered her eyelids to agree, her teeth felt sour when she thought of the bitter green peaches, and she thought to herself, the queen's smile today seems to be more than all the past.

Fu Jieyu has always believed that the queen does her bidding, so she wanted to flatter her. Empress Zhou glanced at her concubine, and ordered the palace servants to bring green peaches, and placed a plate of fluffy green onions in front of everyone. green peach.

Concubine Qiao Xian took a bite and felt both sour and bitter. Her sour and delicate brows were frowned, and she looked around. Except for Qi Yu, who was eating green peaches with a contented face, the other concubines were very happy. Who didn't frown sourly, with a bitter face, because of the queen's gift, he had to resist the bitter and sour taste that was hard to swallow, chewed a sip without taste, and put it aside.

Empress Zhou was not feeling well, so she naturally wouldn't enjoy the green peaches. She took a sip of the tea and smiled: "What do you sisters think of the green peaches, do you still like them?"

No matter how bitter the green peach is, and the queen's questioning like this, no matter how disgusted and dissatisfied I am, I can't even take a bite, I have to pick it up again, and endure the sourness spreading from the tip of my tongue , barely ate one whole.

Concubine Qiao Xian took a sip of tea and suppressed the bitter taste in her mouth: "It's not a little bit bitter, it almost makes people's teeth sour."

"Brother Nanfei, don't you feel sour?" Concubine Qiao Xian looked at Qi Yu suspiciously, he had already placed two peach pits in front of him, and was eating the third green peach with relish.

Hearing this, Qi Yu swallowed the peach flesh in his mouth, and replied with a smile: "I don't feel sour and bitter, but it's just right for me to eat, sweet and crisp, full of peach flavor."

The expressions of the other concubines were also extremely unnatural, the green peaches were so unbearable, tears were sour, and they were wiping the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs.

Concubine Qiao Xian was full of admiration: "Brother Nanfei really has a different taste."

"The tea and rice are not delicious these days, and only the green peaches suit my appetite, so when I saw the queen's side with green peaches today, I couldn't help but eat a few more." Qi Yu glanced shyly. Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou's eyebrows fluttered, and a shy man's behavior should be very disobedient. Not only does it not make people feel uncomfortable at all, but it has a coquettish and charming softness, which makes people forget the vulgarity. Rao is a saint, soul He also had to be hooked.

Concubine Feng De, Concubine Wei Shu, Fu Jie and other concubines' eyes darkened, and they gave the young man a sideways look from the corner of their eyes, the shameless Hu Meizi used such a gesture to seduce the emperor.

Recalling the news I received yesterday and this morning, I feel even more resentful.

Jinsha went to Qianqing Palace to beg to see the emperor and wasted no time. When she came back and passed the carp pond, she accidentally stepped on a stone on the bank, fell into the lake, and drowned.Due to failure to find out in time, he was already dying when rescued.

She was originally reprimanded by the empress not to enter the Kunning Palace to pay her respects, and then went to the Qianqing Palace privately without a call, causing Longyan to be furious, and was removed from her status as a beauty and demoted to a palace lady, leaving her to fend for herself. Lost, the soul returns to Jiuquan.

It is not stupid for everyone present to survive in the palace, and their status is not low.How can there be so many coincidences in the world, the front foot went to the Qianqing Palace, and the back foot fell into the carp pond near the Qianqing Palace, and happened to be seen by the emperor returning to the palace, who mistakenly thought that he would not accept the Queen's discipline, and deliberately threw himself into the lake near the Qianqing Palace, giving the empress ugly.

The carp pond is less than a hundred steps away from the Qianqing Palace, and it is where Zhong Min Yuxiu, who has the most vigorous dragon energy besides the Qianqing Palace, is located. How can a small concubine tarnish the aura of the carp pond.

In a rage, the emperor sent someone to catch him and beat him back to the cold palace.

Concubine Wei Shu glanced at the young man who was chatting with Concubine Qiao Xian and the empress, and sneered in her heart, although she couldn't find out the specific process, she was afraid that she couldn't get away with him.Afterwards, Concubine Wei Shu sent someone to Lenggong to look at Qin Meiren. Of course, she was very clear about that disgusting face.

Qin Meiren was born as a palace servant, if she hadn't been unwilling to surrender to her fate and had become ambitious, she wouldn't have been used by Concubine Wei Shu to climb onto the dragon bed and obtain the status of beauty.How could such a person who wanted to climb up from the mud willingly commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake? Besides, Qin Meiren is well versed in water and can swim very well. Even if she really threw herself into the lake, she would not be trapped by a mere carp pond Live, dig your own grave, and end up in such a miserable end.

If there were no Concubine Nan's hands and feet in the hand, Concubine Wei Shu would not believe it.

Concubine Wei Shu didn't lose anything when a little beauty died. It's a pity that she wanted to use her again and then quietly get rid of her. I never thought that before the plan was implemented, she would disappear. What a disappointment. .

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a startled voice: "How is it possible? In the past few days, you have always felt nauseous and nauseated, and you especially want to eat sour things? Do you suspect that you are pregnant?"

Concubine Xian's suspicious voice brought back Concubine Wei Shu's wandering thoughts, Concubine Qiao Xian covered her mouth and looked at the young man in disbelief, God, what kind of weird idea is this, no man can plausibly conclude that he is pregnant.Then he couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing.

Empress Zhou didn't know how to answer the words, she just lowered her head and looked at the ground in a daze, the corners of her mouth twitched violently, Concubine Wei Shu and Concubine Feng De looked at each other, they all had strange faces that wanted to laugh but had to hold back a smile, the mockery in their eyes He couldn't hide his color, he was blinded by a clever look, it turned out that he was just an idiot.

"Sister Xian, don't you believe me?" Qi Yu looked at her dissatisfied, and said with a very serious expression: "The emperor is very talented, and I was born so beautiful, how could it be impossible to get pregnant? Otherwise, how can I explain it to me?" I've been feeling sleepy lately, I've been lethargic, I like to eat sour food, and I always feel nauseous. The emperor is also very worried, and I specially asked the old doctor Tang to feel my pulse. It's just that the old doctor Tang Confused, I can't get my pulse, I have to invite some doctors who can help the world into the palace tomorrow, and I will see if I am really pregnant."

Concubine Qiao Xian glanced at him with a strange expression, couldn't help laughing, and really wanted to tell him, young man, you are a man, no matter how beautiful you are, you are still a man after all, and you can't bear children no matter what .

But seeing the earnestness on the young man's face, he was speechless for a moment, and could only look at the queen blankly.

Empress Zhou didn't look back at her in a daze, she just didn't know, she was the mother of a country, and she couldn't solve the problem of the difference between men and women. Under the eyes of everyone, could she explain to Concubine Nan what a man is and what a woman is, and explain the two clearly? difference between the two.

Fu Jieyu and the others covered the corners of their lips with veils, sniggered sideways, and looked at each other. There are such stupid people in this world who don't know the difference between men and women, and don't understand at all that it is futile even if Hua Tuo is alive. The dragon species is also medicine and stone without medicine.

"I just confessed the truth to my sister because I saw that my sister is amiable." Qi Yu snorted coldly, picked up a green peach angrily, and took a bite: "When I give birth to a prince in the future, you can't even cry nothing."

"..."

The atmosphere became awkward for a while, and he was feeling dull and thinking about whether to go back to the palace earlier, when he heard footsteps outside.

"The emperor is here."

Empress Zhou breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. It is better to leave this eternal problem to the talented emperor to solve.
