Chapter 88 The Honor for You
After returning to the palace, Xiao Kangzi came forward to report: "My lady, as you expected, You Yunu can no longer hold back. She first went to Rong Meiren's palace, and then went to the cold palace."
Liu Yuetang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? It seems that Lady Rong is trying to kill someone again."
"She is quite clever. She always puts herself aside and leaves no trace when she takes action."
Wan Qiu frowned slightly and sighed, "Beauty Rong should not be underestimated. If you want to get rid of Concubine Yu, you have to take action against her first."
"In the past few years, Concubine Yu was even more arrogant and domineering. Many concubines died at her hands, and Concubine Rong helped a lot in this."
Liu Yuetang lazily swirled the tea in her cup, a deep smile forming on her lips. "Don't worry, they will kill each other. It's just a matter of time."
"Since they like playing so much, I'll play a couple of games with them."
Two moons in mid-winter, the end of the year and late autumn.
It was the second winter since Liu Yuetang entered the palace.
Last winter, she was still an unfavored imperial concubine, her allowance withheld by the Imperial Household Department and she was bullied and humiliated by the imperial concubines.
However, in just one year, she became the emperor's new favorite - Concubine Xi.
As winter approached, the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the charcoal early.
Xiao Heng even used the snow fox in the warehouse to make a cloak for her.
For a time, her favor was comparable to that of Concubine Zhao.
Ever since Xiao Heng and Concubine Zhao had a heart-to-heart talk under the moon, Concubine Zhao's attitude towards him has remained the same as before, and she even offered to let Xiao Heng stay overnight.
Xiao Heng was also very happy. Whenever he had some free time, he would go to Yaohua Palace to accompany Concubine Zhao.
One day, Liu Yuetang had nothing to do, so she took Liu Zheng to roast sweet potatoes together.
This was what she did every winter when she was in Zhuangzi.
This way, your hands will be warm and you can eat the sweet and soft sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are best roasted with matches.
After the sweet potatoes were baked, she asked Liu Zheng to distribute them to the palace servants, and then kept two in the food box and went to the Qinzheng Palace.
Seeing Liu Yuetang coming, Zhou Defu greeted her with a smile, bowed and said, "My lady, you are here. The emperor is free at the moment, please go in directly."
Liu Yuetang was stunned: "Doesn't Eunuch Zhou need to be informed?"
Zhou Defu's smile deepened. "The Emperor said that if you, my lady, come, he will let you in directly as long as he is free, without the need for an announcement."
Liu Yuetang smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much, Eunuch Liu."
As she spoke, Liu Yuetang stepped over the threshold and walked slowly and lightly into the house.
Xiao Heng heard the woman's footsteps, his eyes fell on her feet, and he raised his lips and said, "Tang'er is here."
Liu Yuetang paused, "The Emperor didn't even look up, how could he know it was me?"
Xiao Heng put down his brush, his brows clean, and a gentle smile: "You have been by my side for so long, I am familiar with your steps."
After saying that, he extended his hand in front of Liu Yuetang.
Liu Yuetang also reached out and held his large hand, leaning against his arms.
Xiao Heng covered her soft, boneless hand and whispered, "Also, I only give this unofficial honor to you."
Liu Yuetang looked up in astonishment and said delicately, "The Emperor is deceiving me again."
Xiao Heng's eyebrows were filled with a gentle smile. He raised his hand and pinched Liu Yuetang's soft and delicate cheek: "I am the emperor, why should I coax you for no reason?"
Liu Yuetang hooked her arms around his neck and whispered softly, "Even..."
The words turned into a gentle smile when they came to his lips.
"Do you want to ask Concubine Zhao?" Xiao Heng saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"She won't come to the Qinzheng Palace, so I don't need to give her anything."
Liu Yuetang's fingers gently stroked his neck, and her voice was so gentle that it seemed as if it was mixed with sugar.
"It seems that only a concubine is so shameless, thinking about the emperor every day."
"It's all the Emperor's fault."
Xiao Heng sneered: "Why are you blaming me again?"
The hand on Liu Yuetang's neck slowly slid down, finally stopping at his chest. She said coquettishly, "If the emperor thought about me more and came to my palace more often, how could I have the audacity to come to the Qinzheng Palace?"
She poked his heart softly and firmly.
Xiao Heng held her hand, kissed her earlobe and whispered, "Do you miss me?"
Liu Yuetang looked around with a radiant look, then lowered her eyes shyly.
Xiao Heng laughed out loud: "It's only been a few days since we last met."
He lowered his head and kissed her neck: "Okay, can I accompany you tonight?"
"Are you feeling better?"
Xiao Heng rubbed his palms on her waist and hooked the belt between his fingers teasingly.
Liu Yuetang pursed her delicate lips and whispered, "I am now much better. The imperial physician said... my energy and blood are almost back to normal."
"Oh? Let me take a closer look."
As he spoke, he looked at her beautiful face intently.
The woman's smile was as bright as peach blossoms in spring, so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Her delicate face is radiant and her cheeks are rosy and tender. Tang'er's complexion is indeed excellent."
Liu Yuetang smiled softly: "I think it is Doctor Shen's prescription that suits me. I also feel much more energetic than before."
"Doctor Shen, which Doctor Shen? I want to reward him well."
Liu Yuetang pondered for a moment, "It seems... he's just a clerk, but I think his medical skills are quite good."
"Since Tang'er is suitable for the prescription he prescribed, I will promote him to the rank of eighth-rank imperial physician, and he will take care of your health from now on."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuetang immediately refused: "I am already well, and I don't need the imperial physician's special care."
Xiao Heng held her waist, his tone deep, but his eyes full of concern: "Be obedient, you have always been weak, I don't want to cause any more trouble, I just hope you can stay by my side safely."
Liu Yuetang smiled softly and no longer refused: "Okay, I will obey the emperor."
Xiao Heng stroked her head and his eyes suddenly fell on the food box beside him.
"What delicious food did Tang'er bring me? It might get cold if I don't take it out now."
Liu Yuetang's graceful eyes were filled with a sweet smile: "The food is cold, but my heart is still warm."
"This is made by me personally, Your Majesty must finish it."
"Oh? Tang'er made this herself. Take it out and let me see it."
As the food box was opened, the juicy sweet potatoes came into view.
Xiao Heng was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, but this was the first time he had seen such simple food.
However, it is unique.
As the sweet aroma hit his nose, Xiao Heng couldn't wait to taste it.
So, he pulled Liu Yuetang into his arms and said with a faint smile: "I want Tang'er to feed her myself."
Liu Yuetang glanced at him leisurely, then picked up the spoon and scooped the sweet potato into Xiao Heng's mouth.
Xiao Heng closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the soft and sweet taste.
Liu Yuetang raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Majesty, is it sweet?"
Xiao Heng raised his hand and scratched her small nose: "Of course it's not as sweet as Tang'er's."
Liu Yuetang rolled her eyes coquettishly: "That must be very sweet, the emperor's mouth is like smeared with honey."
At this tender moment, Zhou Defu's voice rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong wants to see you and bring you some tea."
Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment, then remembered that he had met Lady Rong who was collecting flower dew when he went to court today.
When she saw him, she came forward and bowed, then said she wanted to make tea for him with flower dew.
Considering the difficulty of obtaining the dew, and having promised her that he would definitely give her the first grade, Xiao Heng said, "Let her in."
Liu Yuetang's mouth curled up slightly and she stood up from Xiao Heng's arms.
It seems that the good show is about to begin again.
