Chapter 167 Ringtone
Chen Furen had just come out of Yong'an Palace when Empress Shufei got the news.
There was complete silence in Fengming Palace, and the entire palace was filled with the smell of medicine.
Nong Qiu, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Shu, was carrying a medicine bowl and pouring the medicine into the flowerpot without blinking.
Just as the smoke-emitting decoction was poured down, footsteps were heard behind him: "Sister Nongqiu, Sister Nongqiu."
"You're asking for death." Nong Qiu was so frightened that the soup bowl in his hand almost broke.
She turned around and was relieved when she saw the person coming: "What are you doing?"
The man who came was a skinny little eunuch, skin and bones but very cunning. When he saw Nong Qiu's face, he knew that he was in trouble.
He laughed dryly and said hurriedly: "The master ordered me to keep an eye on Yong'an Palace. I just saw Concubine Shen making some movements."
When Nong Qiu heard this, he didn't dare to delay at all.
Ever since the last time Her Majesty suffered a loss at the hands of Concubine Shen, Her Majesty has sent people to order them to keep an eye on Concubine Shen at all times.
If there is any disturbance, report it immediately.
"Follow me." Nong Qiu put the medicine bowl in his hand on the tray, handed it to the palace maid who was opening the curtain beside him, and immediately took the little eunuch to the inner room.
When the curtain opened, the aroma of medicine in the room became stronger.
Inside the inner room, Concubine Shu was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed, resting. The face that looked thin and miserable during the day was now full of rosy glow.
Concubine Shu tilted her head back and leaned on the couch. Several palace maids knelt on the ground and massaged her legs. She closed her eyes, looking relaxed.
Nong Qiu walked forward in small steps, leaned close to Concubine Shu and whispered a few words to her.
The concubine's eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened instantly, and she raised her head from the couch: "That bitch!"
The voice of Concubine Shu was full of hatred!
If Shen Fu isn’t a bitch, then what is she?
She had been in the harem for so many years and had defeated countless opponents. Even Concubine Rong did not dare to confront her head-on.
Only Chen Fu, only Chen Fu, a young lady who had just entered the palace, dared to climb over her head!
She doesn't even look at who she is!
The narrow corners of her eyes were full of ruthlessness, and Concubine Shu swept her cold eyes to the ground: "You said, Concubine Shen went to the emperor?"
"Yes." The young eunuch met Concubine Shu's eyes and was so frightened that he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, kneeling on the ground and swallowing his saliva desperately: "Slave...slave saw it with my own eyes, Concubine Shen dressed up and went out."
"I saw her go to Yuqing Palace with my own eyes."
The young eunuch looked a little dazed when he thought of this.
They were far away at the time, and he didn't even recognize it was Concubine Shen when he first saw her.
Such exquisite beauty is more dazzling than ever before.
But he had never been to school and had no knowledge of literature. I really don't know how to describe it.
All he knew was that he huddled in the bushes and watched Concubine Shen walk past him with his own eyes. He was so stunned that he stood still and couldn't move.
It was not until a long time after the person left that he gradually came to his senses.
"You lowly creature, you are openly going against me." Concubine Shu sneered and stood up from the couch.
Who in the entire harem doesn't know that His Majesty will come to them at this time during these days?
No one in the harem dared to intercept her, except Concubine Shen, who was sent directly to His Majesty.
"Concubine Shen's actions are not necessarily directed at the Empress." Nong Qiu told Concubine Shu the joke she heard today.
Although Concubine Shu's illness was almost cured, in order to prevent His Majesty from noticing, she had to take medicine every day to keep her body weak.
In order to win the favor of His Majesty.
When such a big thing happened today, Concubine Shu was still sleeping soundly and had no idea about it.
Now that Nong Qiu said this, she sneered: "It's something from a small family."
The Shen family did not hold a high position in the court, and even Shen Fu's grandfather's family was only an imperial merchant.
But it wouldn't be strange for anyone to say this, except for Concubine Shu...
Nong Qiu raised her head in surprise and glanced at Concubine Shu. You know, Concubine Shu's family background is not even half as good as Concubine Shen's.
Concubine Shu was just a concubine of an eighth-rank official. If she hadn't been favored by His Majesty and became a concubine, she wouldn't even be able to be a concubine of a wealthy family...
Now these four words, small family, are used to describe Shen Jieyu...
Nong Qiu didn't dare to reveal it on her face, but she felt that the queen had been a little irrational recently.
If anything goes wrong, go find the Emperor.
Even though His Majesty still has feelings for His Majesty, as time goes on and things keep happening, His Majesty will probably start to get tired of it.
Besides, she always felt that the queen shouldn't go.
I'm afraid everyone who is interested knows that Concubine Shen went to Yuqing Palace tonight. Whether she can stay overnight depends on whether His Majesty gives Concubine Shen face.
But once Concubine Shu inserted it, it became a different story.
The Empress Shufei successfully intercepted the Emperor. People outside would only say that the Empress Shufei was favored, but would not say that Concubine Shen had fallen out of favor. After all, everyone has witnessed the favor that the Empress Shufei has shown since she regained favor in recent times.
But if Concubine Shu was to leave, His Majesty would still choose Concubine Shen.
I'm afraid this will spread tonight, without having to wait until tomorrow. His Majesty abandoned Concubine Shu because of Concubine Shen.
The reprimand of the Shen family today had nothing to do with Concubine Shen. And Concubine Shen can use Concubine Shu as a stepping stone to wash away the hatred of her previous attempt to steal favor.
This plan kills two birds with one stone.
Nong Qiu was shocked when she thought of this. Concubine Shen chose this spot to go there on purpose. She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
But if Concubine Shu goes, she will suffer no matter what.
"Now that the Shen family has been reprimanded by His Majesty, everyone is laughing at Shen Ronghua." Nong Qiu tried her best to analyze: "This Concubine Shen is probably helpless and can only rely on His Majesty, not against the Queen."
"She is deliberately going against me!" Concubine Shu sneered, looking at her exquisite armor, and spoke in an unprecedentedly cold tone: "Why not go earlier? Go at night? Why go at this time?"
Who doesn't know that the Emperor will come to her soon? If Concubine Shen had been more sensible, how could she have argued with her so openly?
When Nong Qiu heard his master say this, he stepped back in silence and dared not speak anymore.
"How long have I served His Majesty? How long has she served His Majesty?"
His Majesty has been extremely fond of her recently, and she wants to see who His Majesty will choose when the time comes to face Chen Fu.
"Once I go there, will the Emperor still see her?" Concubine Shu thought of the day when the Emperor punished her because of Shen Fu, and hatred appeared on her face.
"Send the sedan chair. I want to meet this Concubine Shen in person."
*********
In the Jade Purity Palace
After a long silence, His Majesty finally took action.
The fingertips with thin calluses pinched Shen Fu's chin, and used the fingertips to lift Shen Fu's face upwards:
"Why is it you?"
The dim candlelight in the room swayed slightly, and the trembling flame shone into the eyes of His Majesty. There was a clear flash of surprise between those narrow eyes.
Chen Fu knelt under the desk and raised her head slightly. From this angle, she could see the emperor's expression clearly.
Naturally, I didn't miss the flash of light in His Majesty's eyes.
"Why can't it be a concubine?" Chen Fu raised her head, allowing the Emperor to see her beautiful and delicate face more clearly.
"Who do you think your majesty is?"
Chen Fu stood up from the palm of His Majesty's hand and followed His Majesty obediently: "Just now, I woke up and ate a sweet soup, which I found very delicious."
"I thought of sending it to you so that you can have a taste."
When the food box was opened, there was indeed a bowl of sweet soup inside. It was exactly the same as what Shen Fu had just eaten.
Xiao Yugang had been handling official business and indeed had not yet had dinner. Seeing that the sweet soup was indeed delicious, he sat down with a smile.
"This is apricot drink, made with ice cubes and topped with cheese and almond powder." Chen Fu personally scooped a bowl and handed it to His Majesty, smiling: "Your Majesty, please try it."
A small bowl of sweet soup is indeed delicious. Xiao Yu didn't like sweet drinks, so he took two more sips.
"It's good." His Majesty wanted to put it down after eating half of it, but he saw Chen Fu beside him, looking at him pitifully.
He stopped and finished the bowl of sweet soup.
"Is dinner ready?" Xiao Yu poured himself a cup of tea to wash away the sweet taste in his mouth.
Chen Fu keenly noticed that His Majesty probably didn't like sweets very much, but she didn't pay much attention to him on weekdays and didn't notice it.
"Not yet." After hearing this, Shen Fu hurriedly shook her head.
In fact, she had just used some, but now Shen Fu wanted to pretend that she had never used them.
Blinking her eyes, she said to His Majesty, "I came to Your Majesty's place the moment I woke up, but I haven't had time to use it yet."
As Shen Fu spoke, she blinked slightly and looked towards His Majesty.
The words coming out of her mouth now are actually very attractive.
After all, she had just learned about her life experience. Shen Fu had always thought that she was the only bloodline of the Shen family, but now she heard from Shen Qingru, who was a few years older than her.
The girl was ostensibly an adopted daughter, but in reality she was her half-sister.
This is something that would be hard for anyone to get over. What's more, Shen Fu, who had been protected since childhood, had always found it difficult to accept.
"I haven't had dinner yet." Seeing that His Majesty was hesitating, Chen Fu walked forward and reached out to grasp His Majesty's palm.
"Your Majesty, please take me in. Would you mind letting me down for dinner?"
Shen Fu said this pitifully, blinking slightly as she spoke, her eyes full of anticipation.
"You know." Xiao Yu said, his fingertips with calluses touching Shen Fu's lips:
"I have never been able to be cruel to you!"
His Majesty's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Shen Fu's soft and boneless hand reached out along the robe and carefully grasped His Majesty's fingertips: "Your Majesty is the most compassionate to me."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and then he realized how bold Chen Fu was.
Even though he had guessed that Shen Fu would figure it out, he didn't expect her to be so quick and obedient, dressing up carefully and coming to him.
Chen Fu is naturally beautiful, and now that she is dressed up so carefully, she is even more beautiful.
Xiao Yu looked at Shen Fu's face openly for a few times, then stretched out his fingertips with thin calluses and gently placed them on Shen Fu's lips.
The red lips are delicate and beautiful. I press down gently with my fingertips, and the delicate lips immediately sink.
Xiao Yu's eyes gradually became dim: "It's windy outside, shall I ask Lin An to take you back?"
"I just had a dream." The tip of her finger fell on her lips, and when Chen Fu spoke, her fingertips rose and fell, caressing her lips.
There was a slight itch there, but Shen Fu pretended not to feel it.
Still holding the Emperor's fingertips, she said softly, "I dare not sleep alone."
"Oh?" Chen Fu's words were really pleasing, and Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with smiles:
"Then what?"
"I wanted to see His Majesty, so I came here." Shen Fu put lip balm on her red lips and rubbed them with her fingertips, leaving red marks at the corners of her lips.
The bright red lip balm made the corners of her mouth even more beautiful, like a peony that had just bloomed, budding with rain and dew.
Xiao Yu's hands seemed to be unable to restrain themselves, his fingertips rubbed Shen Fu's lips, reluctant to leave.
"Really?" His eyes were dark and obscure.
The voice he spoke was hoarse as if he was holding something in his mouth: "Then what can I do?"
His Majesty asked, but his fingertips were blatantly testing Shen Fu's lips.
Following those tender and tempting lips, the fingertips with thin calluses gently teased Chen Fu's lips and tongue.
Chen Fu looked at His Majesty's nonchalant look, lowered her eyes, and lightly bit His Majesty's fingertips.
Her voice was so tender that it seemed like water could drip out of it: "Your Highness is the Emperor. If I can't sleep, Your Highness will naturally have a way for me to sleep."
Feeling a pain in his fingertips, Xiao Yu retracted his outstretched hand.
He looked at the shallow teeth marks on his fingertips, raised the corners of his lips and chuckled at Shen Fu.
"Little fox!" Every time he looked at him, he either stretched out his claws or showed his teeth.
His Majesty raised his hand and shook it gently towards Chen Fu, with a half-smile on his face.
When Chen Fu saw His Majesty's expression, she knew that Heyday was not really angry.
She suddenly felt relaxed and tilted her head deliberately. The golden peony hairpin on her head swayed slightly. Shen Fu tilted her head with a charming smile on her lips:
"Am I really a fox?" Chen Fu hummed softly.
Her delicate jade-like chin was slightly raised, her eyes met His Majesty's, her red lips were raised, and she looked charming:
"If I am a fox, then what is Your Majesty?"
"Fairy!" Xiao Yu knew that Chen Fu was deliberately flirting with him, but when he saw Chen Fu's seductive and charming face, the string of rationality in his mind completely broke.
He reached out and pulled Shen Fu up from the ground.
He threw Shen Fu onto the desk without any effort.
Shen Fu screamed, and the papers behind her fell to the ground. She turned her head nervously and just as she turned to look, the Emperor's strong body pressed down on her head.
He stretched out his hand and easily pinched Shen Fu's chin, his narrow eyes half-closed, as if he wanted to look into Shen Fu's heart.
"Look at me!" Chen Fu was too smart and too arrogant.
If he is not happy at the slightest, he will lose his temper and need someone to coax him. Xiao Yu has been an emperor for so many years, and he has always been used to keeping everything under control.
But apart from Chen Fu, there is only Chen Fu.
She is different from others in the harem and her personality is also different from others.
That's why he couldn't bear to let go.
He couldn't let go, and there was no way to completely control Shen Fu in his hands.
Xiao Yu's expression was cold, but deep down the emperor felt uneasy for the first time.
"You can only look at me from now on?"
Chen Fu was half lying on the desk, and when she looked up she saw the Emperor's dazzling red eyes.
She nodded, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Fu stretched out her fair and white arm, and timidly hooked it around His Majesty's neck: "I belong to His Majesty, and my eyes naturally belong to His Majesty as well."
"As for this lip..." Chen Fu used her arms to pull His Majesty towards her, and put her red lips close to His Majesty's ear, speaking softly:
"It also belongs to His Majesty..."
The look in Xiao Yu's eyes when he looked at Chen Fu was like a ball of thick ink that could not be dissolved. His face seemed calm as water, but the invisible palms of his hands were tightening inch by inch.
The veins on the back of his hand were bulging as his fist was clenched tightly.
With a smile on her face, Chen Fu hugged His Majesty's neck, and her red lips moved from the side of his neck to his thin lips little by little.
Before his lips fell, there was a knock on the door. Lin An's urgent voice sounded at the door:
"Your Majesty, Empress Shufei is here." Empress Shufei was still ill, and she didn't expect that she would come in person.
There was an unprecedented level of anxiety in Lin An's voice.
When Xiao Yu heard the voice, he loosened his hand that was pinching Chen Fu's chin and made a move to stand up.
But how could Shen Fu let him have his wish?
As soon as His Majesty made a move, Shen Fu withdrew her hand from His Majesty's neck. At the same time, she stretched out her legs and hooked them around His Majesty.
In the silent room, the clear ringing sound was particularly pleasant.
Xiao Yu, who was about to stand up, also heard it and turned his head with a frown: "What is that?"
Chen Fu lay on the desk, blinking her eyes slightly and pretending to be innocent. But the legs hooked around His Majesty's waist were tightened, and the bells rang when they moved.
Xiao Yu had a look of shock on his face, but his fingers were moving down along Shen Fu's calf.
Under the skirt, the ankle is delicate and white. He lowered his head and saw a string of silver bells buzzing in his palm.
Just like that day when she danced barefoot for him in the hall.
“Shen Fu!!”
Chen Fu lay in the middle of the memorial paper, her red lips curled up: "There is nothing I can do, but I really miss Your Majesty." She bit her lips lightly and put her toes on Xiao Yu's shoulders: "Your Majesty, please let this bell ring for one night..."
"Fairy!" The last string of His Majesty's heart was completely broken.
He ignored the knocking on the door behind him, and his thin lips fell on Shen Fu's red lips, forcefully and madly.
