Empress and Empress

Seeing Yuan Xingye, Xia Zimo suddenly lost interest in the banquet.This palace is a magnificent cage.This banquet is an oath to imprison the wings of an eagle that could have soared high.

After the banquet, Xia Zimo returned to Hanxiang Hall.On the second day, she heard that the emperor allowed Yuan Xingye to choose a palace by himself.That night, Xia Zimo was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a notification from his servant that Emperor He was coming to Hanxiang Hall.Xia Zimo had no choice but to get up and do some dressing, and within a moment, he heard the voice of "the emperor is coming".

"See the emperor." Xia Zimo was only wearing a light-colored inner jacket and a goose-yellow gauze, half of his arms were exposed outside the jacket.Looking very pleasant, He Di smiled and helped Xia Zimo up.He said, "I don't need to be too polite to love my concubine."

Xia Zimo got up and sat on the soft chair beside He Di.Xiaoyu brought cool summer heat soup, Xia Zimo served Emperor He to drink the soup, and said, "Is the emperor going to spend the night here?" Received the emperor's bedroom, but Emperor He never allowed any concubine to enter his bedroom.Could it be that there are some secrets in the bedroom?She had some malicious thoughts.

"Aifei is here, so there is no reason to leave here." He Di smiled.Xia Zimo got up, "Then my concubine, go light some incense." Xia Zimo doesn't like spices, and usually only when Emperor He came, she would light some light soothing incense.She knew that He Di came here to reassure her, she smiled lightly, if others might be elated because of this kind of favor, but she felt tired.

Thinking of Yuan Xingye, Xia Zimo suddenly wanted to know what that person was doing at this time?

A corner of Taiming Palace, named Luoxia Palace, is located in a remote location away from the main palace.Concubines with low rank are not qualified to live here, and concubines with high rank don't like it, so no one lives in a huge palace, and weeds grow over time.Gradually, everyone forgot about this place, until Yuan Xingye came, and she asked Emperor He to use this place as his bedroom.Emperor He also agreed, so eunuchs and maids of all sizes began to get busy inside and out.It takes a lot of work to do simple repairs and cleaning.After one night, there is only one bedroom for people to live in.But fortunately, Yuan Xingye and the others had never suffered anything, so they didn't care about it.

Yuan Xingye took off his fine clothes, leaving only his undershirt.Holding a book to read in the bedroom, what Luo Yan saw when she entered the room with tea was this scene.

"General, why don't you put on some clothes." Luo Yan was helpless.

"It's okay." Yuan Xingye said with a smile. "Why don't you rest?" Luo Yan was her deputy general, and she came back with her when she returned to Beijing this time.Yuan Xingye originally intended that they would all stay in the army, but Luo Yan said, "We live in the army because of the general. If there is no general, women will have no ambitions in the army. If you go to the capital with the general, there is a trust." It’s easy to take care of people around you.”

Luo Yan put down the teacup, and Yuan Xingye took a sip. "The tea in the palace is much better than the tea in the army."

"The emperor sent a lot of rewards just now. I think the general will like these teas. It happens that the emperor also sent a lot. I plan to ask someone to give some to General Mu in a few days."

General Mu is the veteran of the remaining [-] Northwest Army, that is, the old man who stood at the top of the banquet has always had a deep friendship with the Yuan family.Yuan Xingye only nodded when he heard that, Luo Yan was also her military adviser, and she always handled things safely, and there would be no mistakes.Although the harem had always been forbidden to be involved with the former court, Yuan Xingye knew that Emperor He would not care too much about her connection with a proper point in the army.After all, she has no parents or relatives to rely on now.

On the second day, the huge repair project continued. The weeds in the courtyard have been cleared away. A pond that was already a bit rotten has a new look. .The name of the palace was also changed to Changchun Palace at He Di's suggestion. This day, Yuan Xingye had some canonization ceremonies to complete, so he had breakfast in a hurry.

The grade of beauty is not high, and the etiquette is relatively simple, but it still took a whole day to complete.After Yuan Xingye returned to the bedroom in the evening, another batch of rewards from Emperor He came, and many concubines from various palaces also sent a lot.Luo Yan sorted out some of the gifts and organized the gifts to be sent to other places.The rest were put away and made a detailed list.

The next day, Yuan Xingye went to greet the queen mother first, followed by the queen and some concubines.Because of her special status, the Empress Dowager treated her kindly, and the other concubines didn't dare to say anything, and the day went smoothly.The Changchun Palace has been under renovation for the next few days, and Emperor He has not been there, but there will be rewards almost every day.

Five days later, the Changchun Palace had been repaired, and Emperor He also came here that night.For Emperor He, Yuan Xingye resisted. She originally thought that she would marry a man in the army, or a rough man. up the palace.

He Di wanted military power, she knew it.She also knew that He Di wanted to use her to win people's hearts.But I didn't expect that I didn't even have the slightest room to resist.

After entering the palace, Emperor He could say that he was very kind to her and let her do everything, but she knew that it was only for a while.When everyone forgets about Yuan Luo and Yuan Xingye.Forget about the Northwest Army, then she is just a little concubine who has no power in the harem to compete for favor.All the gifts of today will become the poison of tomorrow.

She resisted He Di, even though He Di was extremely gentle, she still resisted.

When He Di got up, she also got up to see him off, practiced sword for a while with breakfast, which is a habit in the army, and then sat in the yard to read.The sun is getting more and more central, and the weather is quickly heating up.The servants and maids placed ice buckets under the tree to cool off Yuan Xingye.

In the afternoon, Emperor He sent another batch of rewards. Yuan Xingye asked Luo Yan to sort it out, and he read the book by himself, but he was a little puzzled.

Even if it was to win people's hearts, it was too strange for He Di to give rewards so frequently.Just when she was a little puzzled, the voice of the servant shouting "The emperor is here" was heard.

Yuan Xingye hurriedly got up and bowed down.

"I wanted to come over to take a look after approving the memorial. Are you still used to living here?"

"Very good." Yuan Xingye said.He Di was also sitting on the stone chair under the tree. Yuan Xingye looked at He Di carefully. Although He Di had passed the time, he was well maintained.The fingers are slender and calloused, which seems to be caused by years of martial arts training.With a handsome face, he was not wearing court clothes at this time, just casual clothes.

"Are you still used to it in the palace?" He Di asked.

Yuan Xingye didn't know what He Di was thinking, did he come to chat with her? "Your Majesty is worried, Hoshino is fine in the palace."

He Di smiled slightly. "Your Yuan family has been loyal and good for generations, and now you are the only one left, and I am also very sad. I think back when I was the prince, I still had the friendship with your brother as a monarch and minister."

"Hoshino heard from my brother." Yuan Xingye said. "Back when His Majesty was still the crown prince, my elder brother was once His Majesty's companion."

Emperor He smiled, "Later, your brother went to the battlefield and unexpectedly fell into an ambush. I was very sad. He was a good general. At that time, the late emperor ordered him to be buried richly."

Yuan Xingye's brother Yuan Chenye was about a round older than her. She was still young when her brother passed away, so she didn't have many memories.But she did remember that when her brother died, she was indeed given a lot of gifts.

Talked to He Di again, He Di had dinner here, and of course stayed overnight.
