The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 203: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (12)
"Your Majesty, I have brought the person you requested." Wang Fude bowed and stood in the hall, unaware that the emperor's eyes had already been fixed on Ying'er.
"Are you the current emperor?" Ying'er, dressed in a simple linen dress, stood in the hall. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but her eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life beyond her age.
"Bold!" Wang Fude was unsure of the emperor's attitude towards her, and hurriedly interrupted her.
"Eunuch Wang, go down and receive your reward." The emperor stood up from his seat, his eyes scanning Ying'er.
He had seen a vague portrait of Emperor Gaozu's beloved in the forbidden book, and now that he saw the real person, he was more certain that the "art of immortality" was real.
"You are the descendant of that old man, and naturally my descendant as well. Why do you look at me like this, and not treat me as a guest of honor?" Ying'er went straight to the emperor's seat and then sat down cross-legged.
Since entering this palace gate, she has made up her mind not to go out again. The countless wealth and splendor that those born with good fortunes can enjoy naturally, why can't Ying'er enjoy it?
The emperor is also a man, and she doesn't believe that she, who has lived in this alley for more than ten years, will not be able to get it.
"Aren't you afraid that I will blame you?" The emperor's face was not angry. He has always been high and mighty, and no one has ever disobeyed his orders. Now seeing such a new person, it is fresh.
"If the emperor wants to blame me, he will not let me enter the palace." Ying'er picked up the pen on the table and began to sketch on the memorial, with a very casual attitude.
"You are very courageous." The emperor hurried over, but saw that she wrote steadily and powerfully, and was fascinated for a while and did not stop.
Because he had read Gaozu's documents and was familiar with Gaozu's handwriting. And there is a record in the banned book that in his later years, Gaozu once personally taught his sweetheart to imitate his own handwriting to correct memorials for him.
"Stupid?" Ying'er raised her wrist and waved it in front of his eyes, and said casually: "Seeing you today, I thought of Shrike. When he was still alive, he taught me a lot of writing and commenting on memorials."
Shrike was the nickname of Emperor Gaozu, which was a secret known only to the royal family. The person in front of him must be from the time of Emperor Gaozu.
The emperor went to see the comments she wrote again, and they were almost the same as those of Emperor Gaozu. The seed of doubt in his heart completely disappeared.
Outside the palace, Ju Heng and Eunuch Wang were standing outside the window and peeking at the situation inside.
Seeing the scene inside, Eunuch Wang whispered: "This folk beauty is very bold."
"But the emperor doesn't mean to blame her at all." Ju Heng lowered his head and added the second half of his unspoken sentence.
Eunuch Wang retreated to the window, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "You have done a good job this time."
Ju Heng humbly congratulated him, "Godfather will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."
Eunuch Wang touched his smooth chin, and his face was full of smiles like the flowers and plants on the ground in spring.
He, Wang Defu, had a trump card in his hand. In this harem, he finally didn't have to be afraid of those concubines who were scheming.
The news that the emperor had an immortal beauty spread quickly in the harem. At first, everyone in the harem thought that it was just the emperor's novelty, and it would be fine after a month or two. But after waiting for two months, the emperor still let the beauty stay in his Qianqing Palace, rewarding her day and night, and asked her to review the memorials with him. It was simply infuriating.
What's even more annoying is that the emperor's beauty has been ill recently, and the emperor has not even gone to the morning court. He accompanies her every day and serves her tenderly. Who in the harem has ever seen the emperor be so considerate to others? For a while, the smell of vinegar in the harem was even stronger than that of the folk vinegar brewing workshop.
However, many people are happy to see this. After all, the emperor has a new beauty, so he naturally neglects the maids who are dedicated to the emperor in Xixiu Palace. They are somewhat comforted that Hui Fei can't get well.
Hui Fei has been watching calmly until the familiar imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital handed over the news. She smashed her favorite hairpins on the spot. After a whole morning, she recovered and smiled and asked her senior maid to invite Shi Yi to her bedroom.
"Your brother is willing to spend so much effort to save you." Hui Fei moved the lid of the tea bowl, and her red nails were particularly eye-catching. Shi Yi
lowered his head to taste the flowers and birds on the porcelain, and did not speak.
"You have a good eye. This is the work of the famous master Zhang." Concubine Hui put down the tea bowl and continued to find a topic.
Shi Yi still did not answer.
Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and returned to her smiling face and said, "Well, we had a relationship before, why do you hate me so much?"
She didn't want to bow her head, but their Bu family was strangled by General Yan in the front yard. Not only was her brother's movement restricted, but the whole Bu family was in a state of fear. She was secretly guarded by other concubines in the harem. She had recently lost the emperor's favor. If she didn't win over Shi Yi to win over the emperor again, then her position in the harem would be in jeopardy, and her brother and father's position in the previous dynasty would also be in jeopardy.
"The queen has been kind to me before, and I remember it." Shi Yi spoke, not wanting to hit a smiling person.
Seeing that she was willing to communicate with her, Concubine Hui was overjoyed and said, "You and your brother are grateful, and I am really grateful."
"Are you going to send me to the dragon bed to share the same man with you again?" Shi Yi looked up at her, her eyes were dark and difficult to understand.
She didn't know why Concubine Hui, who was very clear and sensible at the beginning, had become like this now.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I know what I am doing." Concubine Hui sneered, "If I had another way, I wouldn't drag you into this dire straits."
"Since I have entered once, I will not enter a second time. If Concubine Hui wants the Bu family to be buried with Shi Yi, Shi Yi will be honored." Shi Yi put the tea bowl in her hand heavily on the table and walked straight out of the palace.
Ju Heng has made such great efforts for her. How could she destroy his bridge.
And the reason why Concubine Hui could be so tolerant must be that the new beauty in the palace has something that directly threatens Concubine Hui's status.
"My queen, do you want to stop her?" asked the head maid.
"No need." Concubine Hui leaned back in her chair, her whole body relaxed, her eyes full of loneliness.
"My queen, you are so high up, why do you have to ask a mere weed for help?" The maid was very puzzled.
Concubine Hui looked at the asparagus fern outside the window and murmured to herself, "I have no chance." She
originally thought that the woman Ju Heng sent to the palace would not cause any trouble, and that she would definitely reveal her flaws if she lived with the emperor day and night. Who would have thought that the bitch would take advantage of this opportunity to get pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed!
