I naturally wouldn't do something like using low-handed means to frame and suppress concubines, but I would be happy to take the opportunity to act arrogantly and break into Chengqing Palace.
Song Heng was already pretending to delegate power, creating a casual attitude that he didn't really care about government affairs. So when he stayed at Chenxiang Pavilion that night, I asked if I could enter Chengqing Palace.
After riding in the sedan chair to the gate of Chengqing Palace, I was supported by Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao to enter Chengqing Palace. Some loyal guards seemed to be quite dissatisfied with me as the "favored concubine" and pretended not to see me and stood motionless at the door.
I feigned a cough, and the guard turned slowly and said perfunctorily, "Greetings, Consort Mu."
Song Heng’s guards were chosen very well. They are loyal and dare to go against me, his “favored concubine”.
I also pretended to be a lord who did not bear grudges and waved my hand: "I have brought dinner for His Majesty. Please go in and inform him."
"...Yes." Before he took a few steps towards Chengqing Palace, Song Heng had already walked out of the main hall. I trotted in with a smile on my face. Seeing that Song Heng didn't say anything, the guards beside me didn't reach out to stop me.
However, the guard who delivered the message, after bowing to Song Heng, seemed quite dissatisfied and stood back at the door. When his eyes met mine, the dissatisfaction in his eyes was almost overflowing.
What a loyal and brave man.
I simply smiled back at him, then continued jogging towards Song Heng, saying in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty!"
Song Heng reached out and hugged me: "Why has my Shuang'er lost weight again today? Are the dishes in the imperial kitchen not delicious?"
Song Heng gets into the role very quickly.
These days, whenever we're around other people, we're as sweet as thick honey syrup.
Sometimes I feel like I am really "using public power for personal gain."
"Isn't it because I miss Your Majesty?" I said coquettishly, "How does that saying go? Missing you is like the full moon, whose brightness diminishes every night..." (From Zhang Jiuling's "Fu De Zi Jun Zhi Chu Yi")
Song Heng took me to the main hall, where we saw a thin, dark-skinned man sorting out documents on the desk.
"Fingli, please take the documents down and sort them out. I have more important things to do now." Song Heng took me in his arms and walked into the room, with the food box still dangling from my hand.
Fengli? It seems that he is the top scorer in this year's imperial examination and was appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. I heard that Song Heng pretended to ignore the affairs of state recently, and he was the one who took care of everything.
It seems that he is also aware of Song Heng's plan?
His voice was calm and composed. He just agreed with a "yes" and then walked out of Chengqing Hall with his head down, holding the documents.
"He knows." Song Heng suddenly spoke as he walked into the room with me.
I nodded and raised my voice a little, "Your Majesty, take a look at the dinner I prepared for you today. Is it to your liking?"
"What Shuang'er prepared is naturally what suits my taste best." Song Heng pulled me to sit down at the table. The maids beside me kept their heads down and said nothing, but I knew they heard everything clearly.
Normally, the emperor's meals should be served one dish at a time by his maidservants, but a few days ago, Song Heng suddenly told me that since I was coming to Chengqing Palace anyway, I might as well bring him the food in a food box.
I laid out the contents of the food box one by one. They were all carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen. After the maid came forward and tested the poison one by one, Song Heng was about to pick up the chopsticks.
I smiled and held Song Heng's wrist, the one holding the chopsticks, and looked at him with smiling eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want Shuang'er to feed you some food?"
Anyway, we've gotten used to this kind of banter these past few days, so he naturally put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay."
"Yellow croaker." He glanced at the table.
I picked up the delicious fish and put it into Song Heng's mouth.
“Mixed with green algae.”
Then pick up the green silk-like seaweed.
"Green bamboo shoots."
I then picked up the tender bamboo shoots from the white porcelain plate.
"Shuang'er."
"Hmm?" I turned to look at him.
I saw him smiling, one hand on his ear as he looked at me and repeated, "Shuang'er."
"Your Majesty, what does it mean that you are calling me?" I was confused as to why he was calling me when I was enjoying my meal.
He suddenly reached out and snatched the chopsticks from my hand and put them on the table. He put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me: "Can I put you in my bowl?"
! ?
He stopped and even picked up some food for me with his chopsticks as if nothing had happened: "The frost of a full moon is still better, there's no need to diminish its brightness."
I nodded dazedly, and he gently rubbed my face: "I'll take you somewhere after you're full."
"Hmm?" Now I was a little more sober.
"Shuang'er prepared something for me once before," he seemed to recall something, with a faint smile on his face, "I will give Shuang'er a surprise this time too."
I didn't eat much at night. After taking a few bites, I winked at him, and then we walked out of Chengqing Hall and headed east.
Song Heng did not ask any extra servants to follow us. Only Eunuch Afu and Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao followed us from a distance.
Does this path look like a back garden? But flying a kite in the middle of the night is a bit outrageous.
As I was muttering to myself, I vaguely saw a small pavilion in the night. When I was walking past it during the day, I heard Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao say that it was the Moon-Watching Tower.
I planned to stand there and admire the moon at night several times, but each time I completely forgot about it.
I turned to look at Song Heng: "So, Your Majesty invited me to admire the moon?"
He didn't comment, but just took my hand and walked up the stairs: "Be careful."
I walked in front and he walked behind me to protect me. I had to be very brave to walk in front of the emperor.
When I reached the pavilion, I suddenly felt the coolness of the night wind. I walked towards the railing out of curiosity, just wanting to see what the scenery would be like looking down from a high place at night.
