If you didn’t know, you would think they had just crawled out of a spice jar.
Concubine Shu stood up and glanced at the things that Eunuch Cao had just delivered. "Put them away."
Lu'er stepped forward, put away the inkstone, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"My Lady Concubine, is the Emperor trying to test you by doing this?"
Concubine Shu walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, raising her hand to stroke the gray hair on her temples.
"Testing? What he's doing now is pushing me to the forefront in disguise."
"I have been guarding the imperial mausoleum for so many years. My hair has turned white, and the emperor has also changed."
Lu Er stood behind her and said sincerely, "In my heart, my concubine, you are still the most beautiful even if your hair turns white."
Concubine Shu turned around, pulled up Lu'er, and sighed.
"Thanks to you for being by my side all these years. I've suffered so much for you."
"I am not suffering. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. This life of mine was given by you, the Concubine."
…
at the same time.
Eunuch Cao has returned to the imperial study to report Concubine Shu's words to the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyebrows. He had just started, so how could Concubine Shu just not send it off?
"Did those people go to Concubine Shu's place today?"
"He did go, but I heard that he was sent away by Concubine Shu not long after he stayed there."
After saying this, Eunuch Cao stepped aside.
[They smell so good, Concubine Shu is not stupid, she will definitely send them away.]
The emperor stood up and said, "Let's go to Zuihua Palace."
In Zuihua Palace, several people restrained themselves a lot because Concubine Shu returned to the palace.
So these days, they didn't play cards, but gathered in Concubine Xian's palace to chat.
"Have you all heard? The Emperor sent something to Concubine Shu again today."
Concubine Shu held a piece of dessert in her hand and whispered.
"This Concubine Shu is quite well behaved. She hasn't left her bedroom since returning to the palace."
De Fei glanced at Shu Fei and said, "Have you never heard of a barking dog that bites? And the more people like Buddhist scriptures, the more cruel they are."
Seeing that the three of them were staring at her, she put down the melon seeds in her hand.
"Except me, of course."
The three shook their heads and laughed.
"By the way, although the late emperor had someone he admired, he was also very kind to Concubine Shu. Think about it, how could a concubine without any children still be favored by the emperor? How could it be so simple?"
Although they are sisters, the emperor's mother is not as favored as Concubine Shu.
[Aunt Defei is right. The late emperor was indeed kind to Concubine Shu. I guess men have no resistance to the gentle Jieyuhua.]
Even if I don't like her, I still feel a little pity for her. This Concubine Bu Shu is accompanied by the secret guards left by the late emperor.
[The tyrant is truly foolish. Before the late emperor died, he felt guilty towards him and wanted to give him the secret guards, but he refused.]
[If this secret guard had been taken in at the beginning, he would not have fallen into the hands of Concubine Shu.]
Several people did not notice the emperor's arrival. When Concubine Rou heard what Concubine De said, she covered her lips and laughed.
"Sister Defei's words are true, but they make sense. It's definitely better for us to be careful."
"Especially Sister Xianfei, you must keep a close eye on the little princess."
The emperor coughed lightly, and the people who were talking excitedly suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
Defei and Shufei looked at each other.
The Emperor wouldn't hear her say that Concubine Shu was a dog, would she? Is it appropriate for a Concubine De to say such a thing?
I don’t know how long the emperor listened.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Several people stood up and saluted.
The emperor glanced at a few people, then moved his gaze to the snacks, melon seeds, fruits and tea on the table, and his forehead twitched.
They really know how to enjoy themselves. I would have thought it was a gathering of good sisters.
【Hahahaha, the tyrant is envious.】
The four-member team has found a new way to enjoy themselves. Instead of playing cards, they've started complaining about Concubine Shu.
Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, the four of them nervously maintained the posture of saluting and communicated quietly with their eye contact.
"Get up, everyone sit down."
The emperor withdrew his gaze and sat down on the chair.
"Why is Concubine Rou here?"
Concubine Rou stood up respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Xian's dim sum is delicious, so I shamelessly came here with Concubine De."
Seeing her cautious look, the emperor motioned for her to sit down.
Why do all his concubines have two sides? Didn’t Concubine Rou run to him and use tricks to win his favor before, but now it seems that she has learned her lesson.
Concubine Rou sat back in her chair, feeling relieved.
She had competed for favor in the past because she wanted to bring honor to her parents, but now she understood that the emperor's heart was not in the harem at all. Instead of scheming and vying for favor, it was better to live a good life.
Anyway, my parents said that as long as she is well, they don't ask for her to be rich.
No one spoke unless the emperor asked a question.
Yu Yiluo blinked her big eyes and opened her mouth to scream.
"Luo'er must be hungry. I will feed her first."
Concubine Xian took Yu Yiluo in her arms, fed her, changed her diaper, and then looked at the emperor.
The emperor happened to be looking at Concubine Xian, and their eyes met in mid-air.
"The Emperor is going to take Luo'er back?"
Empress Xian asked softly.
[No, I just arrived, your roasting conference continues.]
The emperor looked away and responded calmly.
"Um."
Concubine De has a completely different side, what about Concubine Xian?
What's her other side like?
The three silent people looked between the emperor and Concubine Xian, pursing their lips and smiling.
The emperor walked to the door holding Yu Yiluo, stopped and looked back.
"I will have dinner at Concubine Shu's place, you don't have to wait for me."
Yu Yiluo noticed the three people covering their mouths and laughing, and muttered in her heart.
【Knocking on everything will harm you. 】
After the emperor left, Concubine Rou gave a mischievous smile.
"So this is why the Emperor came here."
"I don't know if the emperor heard what I said," Concubine De patted her chest, "Be more careful with your words next time."
Roupin smiled and comforted, "Don't be afraid, sister Defei. I have done so many shameful things before. Think about whether it will make you feel better."
…
Concubine Shu knew that the emperor would not give up, but she did not expect that the emperor would come over during dinner.
"emperor."
Concubine Shu was about to have her meal when she saw the emperor come in and stood up.
"Toffee, please sit down."
After the two of them sat down, Concubine Shu hurriedly asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks.
Concubine Shu, who had no appetite to begin with, ate a few bites and put down her chopsticks after the emperor came in.
"Can't Toffee get used to it?"
The emperor finished his meal slowly and put down his chopsticks.
[I'm probably thinking about why you came here, so how can I have the mood to eat?]
Concubine Shu had the food removed. "I'm used to eating less at night. Is there something the Emperor needs?"
The emperor sighed.
"Thanks to my aunt for taking care of me when I was a child, I have always remembered her kindness in my heart over the years. Today, I heard from Eunuch Cao that my aunt asked me not to send anything to her, but she doesn't like these things?"
Concubine Shu smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty is sincere, and I like it, but now I am old, and I can't use this inkstone..."
Before she could finish her words, the emperor continued:
