Chapter 35: Bright Moon Fairy Skirt
Lin An was so frightened that he stared blankly for a long time. Then he raised his hand and slapped himself, then hurriedly followed behind.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, His Majesty strode in holding Shen Fu and placed her directly on the couch.
The soft couch made of golden nanmu wood was embroidered with golden dragons flying in the clouds. Chen Fu grabbed the bright yellow embroidered pillow and stared blankly at the person in front of her.
"Long live the Lord."
Xiao Yu lowered his head, looked at the woman's timid and innocent eyes, and his throat rolled.
He ordered, "Call the female doctor."
As soon as Lin An entered the room, he was told to call a female doctor. He didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around immediately.
The room was quiet. In the Qianqing Palace, ambergris was burning in a copper incense burner with gold and silver animal face patterns at the corner.
Chen Fu sat on the soft couch made of golden nanmu wood, and she was very well-behaved. The gauze dress she was wearing had been wet, revealing her snow-white and delicate skin.
Xiao Yu took a look and could see with his own eyes that the neck was gradually turning red.
After all, she was young and would feel very shy if she looked at her for more than a few seconds.
The emperor's gaze fell on her blushing neck, and a smile appeared in his eyes. But that smile was hidden behind those cold eyes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin An came back very quickly, and the imperial physician was called to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, so no one dared to delay.
There are female doctors in the palace, and there are many women in the harem, so it is always inconvenient sometimes.
However, the female doctor has been serving in the harem all year round, and this is her first time coming to the Qianqing Palace.
The female doctor knelt on the ground and looked up at Shen Fu curiously.
When she saw Chen Fu's appearance, the female doctor was stunned and couldn't recover. There are many concubines in the harem, and some of them are extremely beautiful.
But there is someone like Chen Fu, who is born with both purity and brightness, but she doesn't have that.
The female doctor was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Yu felt a little unhappy when he saw this scene.
The doctor's gaze towards Chen Fu was truly scorching.
He stretched out his bony fingers and tapped the tabletop a few times. The female doctor was startled and quickly came to her senses and walked forward.
"What's wrong with you, girl?"
Shen Fu raised her eyes and timidly looked in the direction of His Majesty, then stretched out her leg to the female doctor: "It hurts here."
The plain white skirt was lifted up, revealing her jade-like ankles. The bones are thin and the wrists are as white as frost.
The ankle was originally as white as snow, but the bright red mark on it now seemed particularly glaring.
After a careful examination, fortunately there was nothing serious wrong with the ankle.
"We need to bring some medicated oil to push the blood clots away." Before taking action, the female doctor looked at the jade feet resting on her knees and couldn't help but said, "Miss, please bear with it for a while."
Shen Fu reached out to hold the armrest of the soft couch and nodded obediently.
As soon as the medicated oil was opened, the smell was a bit pungent.
The female doctor half-knelt, holding Shen Fu's ankle with her palm and exerting force.
Chen Fu's ankle was already slender, and the injured area was red and swollen. The female doctor did not dare to be careless. She poured the medicated oil into her palm and pressed harder.
At first, Shen Fu could still bear it.
But gradually, as the hand pressing on her ankle became more and more powerful, she couldn't help but stammer.
When the voice just came out, Shen Fu was startled. She bit her lips hurriedly as if to cover it up, but as the doctor exerted force with her palm, some sound still leaked out.
The tiny sounds rose and fell, and for a moment the only sound in the Palace of Heavenly Purity was the pitiful voice of a woman.
If that were all, it would be fine.
The key point is that Shen Fu's voice is softer than that of ordinary people, and this cry of pain makes it even more charming and lovely.
Lin An stood beside the Emperor and noticed that the air pressure on his body was getting lower and lower.
He quietly raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then he didn't even dare to look forward.
Shen Fu knew whose eyes were always on her.
That look became increasingly gloomy, no different from the one she had when she served His Majesty at night.
Shen Fu knew it in her heart, but pretended not to know.
Taking advantage of the palace maid's greater strength, Shen Fu deliberately let out a painful sound in her throat.
The room suddenly became quiet, so cold that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
The female doctor was so frightened that she dared not move, and Shen Fu sat on the chair with a helpless look on her face.
I don't know how long I was stiff, but two sounds came from the table.
Xiao Yu put down his legs that were resting on the low table and stood up from the armchair. He looked at Shen Fu deeply for a few times, then walked towards the female doctor: "I'm here."
The female doctor didn't even dare to raise her head, and she held the medicine oil with both hands and placed it in the emperor's palm.
The palm-sized piece of medicinal oil was only a tiny bit in His Majesty's hand.
He held the porcelain bottle and played with it for a while, then his eyes fell down on Shen Fu's face. He looked deeply at the tearful face for a long time, and asked specifically before taking action.
"Is it okay for me to come?"
Shen Fu raised her head, with a tear in the corner of her eye, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly, and she nodded obediently.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
When Xiao Yu heard the voice, he felt a slight itch in his heart. It was like something was tickling his chest; it didn't hurt, but it made him feel itchy.
He played with the medicated oil in his hand for a few times before walking forward.
Compared to the gentleness of the female doctor just now, even though His Majesty had not made any movement yet, his aura was different from others just by walking forward.
Sitting in front of Shen Fu, he was much taller than her. He looked at Shen Fu for a few seconds, then without waiting for Shen Fu to react, he lifted her legs.
“Your Highness…” Shen Fu exclaimed, and then her ankle fell on His Highness’s lap.
The bright yellow dragon robe was right under her feet, and Shen Fu turned pale with fright. It didn't look fake at all, and I was so scared that I wanted to pull it away quickly.
This is His Majesty, this is the dragon robe!
No matter how brave Chen Fu was, she would not dare to act so rashly this time.
Every part of Shen Fu's body was filled with rejection, and she struggled to escape from the Emperor.
But before she could move, the hand that held her ankle was scorching hot, and a slight force was enough to restrain her from moving.
"Bear with it!" His Majesty spoke in a warning tone, and his voice did not seem so gentle.
Alerted by that cold gaze, Shen Fu had to be brave enough not to move.
The Emperor then looked at his knees again. Shen Fu was fair-skinned, with thin and bony ankles. Her ankles were draped over her robe in a shy and charming manner, like a crescent moon.
Xiao Yu poured the medicated oil with one hand and dropped it on her injured ankle. Compared to the female doctor's palm just now, His Majesty's palm was much larger and much hotter.
When he held her ankle tightly, Shen Fu shrank back a little due to the heat.
But as soon as she struggled with her ankle, the Emperor raised his eyes and looked over. That deep gaze was as dark as ink, and Shen Fu didn't dare to move for a moment.
She bit her lip and looked at the Emperor's expression. She felt uneasy for some reason and quickly put her foot back to its original position.
"Hold on." This time His Majesty became a little gentler.
But the hand that was massaging Shen Fu's ankle was not letting up at all.
Shen Fu's eyes were filled with tears because of the pain.
Tears rolled down her palm-sized face, which looked like a bun when wrinkled.
Xiao Yu looked at the woman's aggrieved expression, and the hand that was rubbing her ankle loosened, and he comforted her with a rare look: "It's nothing but I deliberately bullied you."
There are so many concubines in the harem, but few of them dare to cry in front of him.
What’s more important is that he felt uncomfortable when he saw the woman crying.
Xiao Yu rubbed Shen Fu's ankle while explaining: "It's just that your ankle is injured. If you don't rub it well, if it gets swollen tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of bed."
The tears on Shen Fu's face stopped instantly.
Tears were still hanging under the eyelids on her palm-sized face, as crystal clear as pearls.
It came down along the corner of the jaw and hit the back of Xiao Yu's hand precariously.
The hand holding Shen Fu's ankle froze.
Xiao Yu raised his head, and when his eyes fell on her face, his brows furrowed a little.
"Don't cry."
He reached out as if to wipe away her tears, but when he was about to touch her, he noticed the residual medicine oil between his fingers.
The fingertips curled up, but the hand did not fall on her face in the end.
Xiao Yu moved his hand away silently.
********
Only after the medicated oil was applied did the female doctors allow them to leave.
Chen Fu's ankle looked even more pitiful after being rubbed. The frosty white ankle was filled with blood and swollen to the size of a goose egg.
This time she placed her feet carefully on the low table, with her blushing toes curled up.
Lin An and others froze there, not daring to move.
As servants, they knew exactly what the Emperor meant to Miss Shen Fu.
But since His Majesty didn't tell them, their servants could only pretend they didn't know. Seeing Miss Chen Fu like this now, no one dared to look up at her.
When footsteps sounded, Lin An shrank his neck, wishing he could glue his eyes to the ground.
Xiao Yu cleaned his hands, wiped them with a handkerchief, and saw Chen Fu's pitiful appearance: "Go get some new clothes."
The collar of her skirt was stained, and the hem was stained with medicinal oil. She couldn't go out in this state.
Shen Fu looked grateful.
She had no idea how many times she had thanked His Majesty today.
Lin An was in a dilemma. He raised his head but didn't dare to look around. He just said with an embarrassed look on his face: "If we go to Changqiu Palace..."
Chen Fu is Chen Ronghua's sister. If the servants of the Qianqing Palace go to the Qianqing Palace to get clothes, then by then, even if Chen Fu is not the Emperor's person, she will probably become the Emperor's person.
Lin An glanced at His Majesty cautiously, then immediately knelt down: "It is I who deserve to die."
His words were actually a reminder.
His Majesty has not yet given Miss Shen Fu a position. If this gets out, it would be detrimental to Shen Fu.
Xiao Yu understood. He stroked the jade ring on his fingertips and said after a while, "Go and get the Bright Moon Fairy Skirt from the storeroom."
Lin An knelt on the ground, but he couldn't help but make a sound of sighing in his heart.
This Fairy Skirt is a treasure.
This is the only tribute from the Western Regions in the world. When it was first presented, Concubine Shu begged for a long time, but the Emperor just refused to give in.
But unexpectedly... Lin An's heart was in turmoil, and he silently raised Shen Fu's status a lot higher.
He kowtowed twice to the ground and said, "I'll go right away."
Chen Fu was sitting on the soft couch, and when she heard the words "Jiaoyue Liuxianqun", she couldn't help being shocked.
She had heard of this Fairy Moonlight Dress.
In her previous life, Shen Qingru was also obsessed with him, but she was not favored enough and only dared to think about it but not take it seriously.
I just said a few more words to Shen Fu when I was bored.
At that time, Shen Fu couldn't help but wonder what kind of clothes it was that made Shen Qingru think about it day and night.
It’s a pity that Shen Qingru never got it in the end. As for who got the dress in the end, it is unknown.
Shen Fu's mind was churning back and forth.
At this time, Lin An came in holding the skirt.
The rosewood hairpin flower box inlaid with eight treasures and gold threads was so fragrant that one could smell the subtle fragrance even before getting close to it.
Before Lin An knelt down, he deliberately glanced at Chen Fu, and sighed in his heart that this girl would have great fortune in the future.
How many treasures did the Western Regions offer as tribute? Miss Chen Fu received two in just a short time.
Lin An knelt down and placed his hands in front of Chen Fu: "Jiaoyue Liuxian skirt, please take a look, young lady."
When the rosewood brocade box was opened, the subtle fragrance became stronger. It's like being surrounded by flowers, with a lingering fragrance.
This is the advantage of this Bright Moon Fairy Skirt.
Thanks to Shen Qingru, Shen Fu can tell all the advantages of this skirt.
This Fairy Moon Skirt looks simple and ordinary, but it is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it shines brightly when you wear it and walk.
This is not the most noteworthy thing about this skirt.
What's more, the skirt has its own subtle fragrance. I heard that the skirt is made differently from others because it starts with silk thread.
We specially found 749 of the most fragrant flowers in the world, so that every strand of thread is soaked in flower juice and absorbs the fragrance.
Therefore, this skirt has its own subtle fragrance, even if you just walk up and down in it, the fragrance is long-lasting and distant.
Shen Fu blinked, even though she knew about this dress, she couldn't help but be amazed when she actually saw it.
She was stunned for a moment, but the Emperor beside her said, "Go change it."
"Your Highness." Chen Fu withdrew her gaze from the glittering skirt.
She couldn't hold back the surprise in her eyes and looked timidly at His Majesty.
"My lady, this dress is too gorgeous. I dare not accept it."
Shen Fu really didn't want it.
No matter how beautiful the skirt was, she couldn't protect it at this moment. What's more, this is the harem. If people find out, it will definitely bring disaster.
Shen Fu knew exactly what she was thinking.
But I can’t resist His Majesty. Xiao Yu looked at her deeply, then picked up the skirt from the brocade box and stuffed it into her arms.
Shen Fu couldn't bear it and was stuffed full.
She stared blankly at her arms, then looked up at His Majesty, his deep gaze fell on her, and he said lightly with his thin lips: "You don't want to wear this, are you going to change for my dragon robe?"
In the end, Chen Fu was taken to the inner room by the palace maids.
Through the screen, I could hear some giggling sounds behind me. Xiao Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Thinking of her surprised expression before she left, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lin An felt very happy when he saw His Majesty like this.
He knew clearly why this was the case, and while he was marveling at Miss Shen Fu's charm, he was racking his brains to think of ways to flatter her.
Just as I was bending over and about to move forward, there was a noise at the door.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu requests to see you."
