Chapter 66: Intercepting Again
In the following two nights, the emperor favored the two new concubines and gave them rewards according to the custom. The empress also sent people to deliver gifts.
When a new concubine enters the palace, the scene of paying respects is much more lively.
Li Jieyu has a good temper and speaks softly.
Qin Jieyu was different. Her arrogant temper had not subsided at all. She was very flamboyant in her words and could challenge anyone.
She even dared to confront Concubine Xie, and her words and actions were very rude.
Concubine Xie was furious. She held a high position and had never been treated like this since she entered the palace. However, the other party was the emperor's cousin, so she had no choice for the time being.
Fortunately, Queen Cui stopped the storm in time every time and prevented the situation from spreading further.
When the weather was hottest, it rained in Beijing.
After the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, the sky became vast and blue, and the refreshing air after the rain made people feel very comfortable.
At sunset, Pei Tingyue walked slowly in the imperial garden with Xie Chen arm in arm.
"It was too hot these days, and I haven't been out for a walk for a long time."
Xie Chen deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for her: "I know you are feeling depressed, so I brought you out for a walk."
Pei Tingyue paused: "Ah, Your Majesty still remembers me?"
Xie Chen looked at her sideways.
Pei Tingyue whispered, "I thought the emperor's heart had flown away."
Xie Chen understood and chuckled, "Tingyue is really jealous."
Pei Tingyue snorted and continued walking forward.
Xie Chen grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her back. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "Didn't I promise you? No matter who else I forget, I will never forget Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue pretended to struggle at first, but after hearing this, she obediently let him hold her. She said in a muffled voice, "Does the emperor still remember?"
Xie Chen let go of her, wrapped his fingers around hers and hooked them together: "This will seal the deal."
Pei Tingyue smiled, then put it away.
She exudes the vibe of "come and coax me".
Xie Chen sighed, pulled the person in and hugged him: "Alright, alright."
The emperor and his concubine hugged each other in the imperial garden as if no one was around, and the scene was very heartwarming.
Liang Yao, standing by, tactfully asked everyone to leave and waited in the distance.
But at this moment, a rash little eunuch came out of nowhere and was about to rush forward.
Fortunately, Liang Yao was quick-witted and grabbed him: "How many lives do you have? How dare you challenge the Holy Emperor?"
The young eunuch felt bitter.
He originally planned to rush in, but who knew that the steward's hands were so quick.
He smiled apologetically and said, "Steward, our Concubine's headache has come back again, and she wants the Emperor to come and see her."
Concubine, it must be Concubine Qin.
Liang Yao really wanted to say, if you have a headache, just go and ask the imperial physician, why do you always ask the emperor for help? The emperor can't cure any illness either!
This little eunuch must not be released. The last time he was let in, he was fined his salary that night.
But what if Concubine Qin insists that it’s just a headache?
After all, headaches are a problem that can't be diagnosed specifically, so it would be wrong for him not to release it...
Liang Yao hesitated, and after a while, he made a plan in his mind.
At this time, the emperor must not be disturbed. Let's wait for a while. After the two masters finish visiting the imperial garden, he will take the opportunity to report.
He ordered someone to take the young eunuch away.
Who would have thought that the young eunuch was so anxious that he shouted at the top of his lungs in the direction of the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty! Our Concubine is ill, please go and see her!"
Liang Yao: “…”
His eyes went dark.
Okay, deduct another half year's salary, and he will have worked for a year for nothing.
Does Concubine Qin have a grudge against him?
The emperor and his concubine heard the sound in the distance and separated.
Xie Chen frowned: "Liang Yao, what's going on?"
One can hear a strong sense of displeasure in his tone.
Liang Yao suppressed the bitterness in his heart and stepped forward cautiously: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qin has a headache and asked you to go and see her."
Pei Tingyue raised her eyebrows secretly. Concubine Qin was here again.
She watched the emperor make his decision in silence.
Xie Chen sneered: "Really?"
Liang Yao didn't dare to speak.
After a moment's hesitation, Xie Chen said coldly, "The imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital are useless. I'm afraid they can't cure Concubine Qin. Let's ask Court Judge Xia to come over."
"yes."
Liang Yao hurried to do it.
Pei Tingyue lowered his eyes and whispered, "Isn't the Emperor going?"
Xie Chen looked at her, who was full of loss, and said in his throat: "Go."
Pei Tingyue's voice became even quieter: "Then your Majesty, please go ahead. I will return to the palace first."
She turned and was about to leave.
Xie Chen grabbed her slender wrist, lowered his eyes and said, "Don't leave."
Pei Tingyue raised her head, the corners of her eyes slightly red, "Your Majesty, what does this mean? You want to go see Concubine Qin but you won't let me go. Do you really want me to watch you two being affectionate?"
Xie Chen touched her little face and said, "You're just imagining things. Concubine Qin came to intercept me twice. Do you feel wronged?"
Pei Tingyue didn't say anything.
Xie Chen hugged her, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I will help you vent your anger."
Pei Tingyue was a little surprised.
Vent?
Are you siding with her instead of your cousin?
How to vent her anger?
Pei Tingyue soon found out.
The group left the Imperial Garden and headed towards the Bixiao Palace.
In the west wing hall, Concubine Qin was pretending to be sick.
When she heard the palace maid announce that the emperor had arrived, she was overjoyed. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard another announcement saying that Concubine Pei had arrived.
Concubine Qin was in disbelief and froze there.
The next moment, Xie Chen strode in, followed by a slim woman.
A flicker of jealousy flashed across Concubine Qin's eyes, but then her emotions were concealed. She stood up gracefully and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Xie Chen sat down in the main seat in the center, and asked Pei Tingyue to sit down, then said, "Get up."
Qin Jieyu then stood up and sat down opposite Pei Tingyue. She asked, "I asked someone to invite the emperor here. Why is Concubine Pei here?"
Xie Chen said calmly, "When you sent someone to invite me, I was with Concubine Pei."
Concubine Qin pretended to be surprised and apologetic. "I have a terrible headache and wanted to see the Emperor, but I didn't want to disturb Concubine Pei and the Emperor. It's my fault."
Xie Chen raised his eyelids and looked at her: "It's not your fault, this headache came suddenly."
After hearing this, Concubine Qin thought he was worried about her and lowered her head shyly: "Your Majesty is really distressed..."
Xie Chen didn't want to listen to her nonsense and interrupted her directly: "I have summoned Judge Xia to come here and let him take a good look at it later."
Concubine Qin agreed: "Yes..."
Her mind was racing.
After all, her cousin was thinking about her. As long as she pretended to be sick, she would definitely be able to keep him.
It's just that Miss Pei is quite an eyesore, we have to get rid of her quickly.
Before Concubine Qin could come up with a good idea, Judge Xia arrived.
Xie Chen ordered: "Take Concubine Qin's pulse."
Court Judge Xia put his hand on Concubine Qin's wrist through the handkerchief.
After a while, he knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Jie's pulse."
Xie Chen said coldly: "No problem? Then why does Concubine Qin have frequent headaches?"
Judge Xia said, "Perhaps there is another reason. Please allow me to ask the Concubine a few questions."
Thank you Chen Xu.
