Chapter 63: Tryst 1
Fuyu Pavilion.
When His Majesty's reward appeared in Changqiu Palace, Fengchun was in Fuyu Pavilion.
She had just gone to say hello to the nanny, and came to Shen Fu to inform her: "Our young master said that we can leave today."
The selection process has not yet been completely concluded and there are countless beauties leaving the palace every day. Chen Fu was a concubine, but she had never appeared in Chuxiu Palace.
At that time, if one says something wrong or if one does not learn the rules well, one can be easily sent out of the palace.
"Thank you very much, elder sister." Sitting on the ebony couch, Chen Fu stretched out her hand and yawned.
After performing for an entire afternoon, Shen Fu was exhausted. As soon as His Majesty left, she took a short rest.
Now that spring has come, she is half asleep and half awake, her hair is disheveled, her breasts are half exposed, and even the corners of her eyes are full of charm.
Feng Chun could have left after saying this, but he still felt uncomfortable looking at Chen Fu's appearance.
Since ancient times, women who are too beautiful have always easily aroused jealousy. Fengchun felt uncomfortable since the first time she saw Chen Fu. Now that Chen Fu is leaving, she is happier than anyone else.
"Fox charm!" She raised her chin and spat fiercely at Shen Fu.
"What did you say?" Shen Fu paused as she yawned. He lowered his head again, his eyes were cold: "Say it again."
"Fox Charm!"
What is there to be afraid of saying? Fengchun sneered.
Because of her status, she didn't dare to do anything before. Now that Chen Fu has left the palace, all the wealth and splendor in the palace has nothing to do with her.
What's more, as a woman, if she lost her virginity, her fate would be worse than that of a little maid.
Fengchun thought of this, and with difficulty moved his jealous eyes away from Chen Fu's face: "Miss, you should restrain yourself. It's not like being in the palace when you leave."
"Nothing in the palace belongs to you. You should go to a temple and become a nun. Live the rest of your life with the company of the ancient Buddha and the green lamp."
Fengchun turned around and left. Zisu, who was behind her, was so angry that her face turned red. She rushed up to her and wanted to settle the score with her: "You!"
"Come back." Just as Zi Su was about to go out, Chen Fu behind her spoke up to stop her.
"Girl, what she said is too harsh." What does it mean to spend the rest of your life in seclusion? Could it be that after these girls leave the palace, they can only become nuns?
Zi Su was so angry that she stamped her feet when she thought of this, and she knelt at Shen Fu's feet with tears in her eyes: "Are we really going to leave?"
"Go to the temple and become a nun?"
Shen Fu lay on the soft couch with a cold look in her eyes.
She withdrew her gaze from the door and shook her head when she heard this: "Don't worry."
She will not leave, and certainly not accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lamp.
Thinking of the figure of His Majesty standing at the door, Chen Fu lowered her eyes and tapped the teacup lightly a few times in pleasure.
"Silly Zisu, I won't leave, and I won't become a nun."
She raised her head and winked at Zi Su coquettishly: "After all - Buddhists cannot kill."

Changqiu Palace
Shen Qingru's face was pale and she was in a trance for a long time. When she came to her senses, her stiff eyeballs rolled around.
Inside the house, the palace maids and eunuchs were all filled with joy.
"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady." He thought that his lady had completely lost the emperor's favor, but he didn't know that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.
His Majesty actually gave down something as a reward again.
Don’t underestimate this pair of shoes, there is a lot going on inside. The palace servants stared at the tray with fiery eyes.
Not to mention the luxurious Suzhou embroidery material, just look at the two pigeon egg-sized Dongzhu pearls embroidered on the toes of the shoes.
I won’t say much about its priceless value, the most important thing is that this Dongzhu is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
Throughout the ages, Eastern pearls have been considered precious. If one is not the master of a palace, using Eastern pearls would be an act of usurpation.
Shen Qingru had been in the palace for five years, but Dongzhu had barely even glanced at her. It is even said that it is so big and embedded on the toe of the shoe.
The palace maids were amazed and flattered Shen Qingru every day: "My lady, the emperor really loves you."
Looking back on this period of time, it can be said that His Majesty has not been anywhere. I just came here to see their mistress.
Even though the young lady's appearance was disfigured, the Emperor still summoned her.
This favor is unique in the entire harem!
Even the Empress Shufei, who was extremely favored in the past, probably didn't have the honor and favor she has today.
The servants' eyes were shining with excitement, but Shen Qingru had no words to express her pain. Her hands in her sleeves were trembling slightly, and Shen Qingru stared at the embroidered shoes on the tray.
She looked at the pearl on the tip of her shoe and felt a buzzing in her mind.
When did His Majesty know about this?
When and how did he find out that the person serving him secretly was Shen Fu's.
Shen Qingru felt as if she had been stabbed in the face, and all the events that had happened during this period flashed through her mind one by one.
The figure of His Majesty, the figure of Chen Fu, and even his own.
All the signs were like a scroll, flipping through her mind one by one.
Until I saw this pair of embroidered shoes!
A slap hit her in the face, and Shen Qingru felt her throat churning. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest and he was almost about to vomit blood.
"My lady, dress up nicely today and wear the embroidered shoes given by the Emperor to go to the Qing Palace."
"Such a beautiful pair of shoes, His Majesty will surely favor you even more after seeing them."
The flattery in the palace servants' mouths fell everywhere.
When Shen Qingru heard it, she felt like it was a slap on her face.
How could His Majesty be thinking about seeing her wearing it? He was obviously thinking about seeing Shen Fu!
No matter how precious these shoes are, I don't want to give them to her.
There was a burning pain on her face and Shen Qingru was shaking with anger. He raised his palm and slapped the maid who was speaking hard on the face: "Get lost!"
The palace maid hadn't finished her words when she was slapped by Shen Qingru and stood there in a daze.
Shen Ronghua is usually a good person, and he is kind and polite even to his servants.
This is the first time he has acted so vicious and cruel.
The palace maid who was beaten didn't dare to speak, and even the palace maids and eunuchs behind her didn't dare to make a sound.
The look he gave her was as if he had seen a ghost.
Shen Qingru looked at them one by one and realized that she had been exposed.
But she couldn't care less about that at the moment.
“Get out!” She picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at the palace servants like a madman: “Get out!”
These people are here to make fun of themselves.
When Shen Qingru thought of what she had just heard, she struck the palace servants' hands mercilessly.
Tea cups, pillows, vases, whatever he saw was smashed.
The palace servants were so happy just a moment ago, but now they were frightened out of their wits by the young lady.
Several palace maids were hit and had blood on their heads, but they dared not hide. No one dared to stay, and they all slipped away as if they were greased.
Fengchun went to Chen Fu's place and was in great joy. But as soon as he returned to Changqiu Palace, he was greeted by a complete silence.
"What happened?" There was no one inside or outside the house. Fengchun walked into the house with a puzzled look on his face, but was dumbfounded as soon as he entered.
The whole house was in a mess, with broken porcelain pieces everywhere. She stepped on the broken jade and identified it carefully before she realized it was the young lady's favorite jade unicorn.
Fengchun gradually weakened: "My lady, this...what happened?"
Shen Qingru had a fit of rage, but now she has calmed down. She turned around, and the palm-sized scar on her pretty face made her look weird and scary.
When Fengchun saw this scene, he felt uneasy. He held on to the armrests to restrain himself from kneeling down, and then said, "My young master, what... is going on?"
"Is it done?"
Shen Qingru's voice was calmer than ever before, as if she was not the one who did all this.
Fengchun nodded in confusion.
Not only did she get it done, she also humiliated Shen Fu. Who made her so pretty? She's a naturally charming and seductive girl!
"It's done. Miss Shen Fu can leave tonight!" Fengchun spoke as if to take credit, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Qingru smile.
That face was originally very beautiful. She is gentle and charming, with a touch of charm in her eyes and eyebrows.
Although not as good as Shen Fu, looking at the entire harem, Shen Qingru's face is also outstanding.
But now there is only bitterness on this face.
She stood up from the bench with her hands on the armrests, her sprained ankle fell to the ground, and her brows were furrowed in pain.
"Young lady, where are you going?" Fengchun immediately stepped forward and supported the person upon seeing this. Shen Qingru did not say anything.
She limped until she reached Chen Fu's door, and Feng Chun had a bad feeling in her heart: "My lady, what are you doing here?"
She had just been here and had already humiliated Miss Shen Fu and asked her to leave. Why is the young lady here again for no reason?
Fengchun felt a little panicked and his hand holding Shen Qingru tightened slightly.
Beside him, Shen Qingru's face was calmer than ever before. She stood at the door and looked inside deeply.
Then his knees went weak and he fell heavily to the ground: "Please sister, save my life!"
What is she coming here for? Naturally, he came here to beg for mercy.
His Majesty specifically asked Chen Fu to go there, so - Chen Fu cannot leave the palace.
Unless she wants to die.
Shen Qingru didn't want to die. She knelt at the gate, her frail body trembling, her face full of pain.
But he kowtowed and kowtowed to the people inside, shouting: "Please spare my life, sister!"
My lady, you are here to ask Miss Chen Fu for help?
Thinking of what he had just said, Fengchun stood at the door, feeling weak.
His knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
On the bluestone slab, two figures were kneeling straight and upright. The sound of kowtows came one after another.
Shen Qingru knew that what she had done had been exposed, and now she could only beg for mercy.
She knelt on the ground, calling her sister "sister" over and over again, until her head was broken and bleeding, and then the sound of the door opening was heard from inside the house.
"Eldest sister." Chen Fu seemed to have just heard it. She raised her hand and yawned, looking very charming.
"Why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly."
Shen Qingru knelt here for a stick of incense before Shen Fu opened the door. I clearly know that she did it on purpose, but now I have to ask for help, so I have to speak up.
"Sister, please help me this time." Shen Qingru held the embroidered shoes in both hands: "Now, only you can save me."
Shen Fu was wearing her nightgown with a nightgown over it. A part of the slender ankle was exposed at the trouser leg, revealing the thin and bony snow-white ankle.
Chen Fu lowered her head and glanced at the shoes inlaid with oriental pearls, and raised the corners of her narrow eyes: "Eldest sister, why do we have to be like this when we are sisters?"
"You mean, you agreed?" Shen Qingru raised her head excitedly.
"My elder sister begged me, so I naturally couldn't bear to see her in trouble." Chen Fu raised her foot.
Shen Qingru was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and immediately put on the embroidered shoes in her hand for her.
The pigeon egg-sized Dongzhu beads dangled slightly on the shoe surface. The embroidered shoes were neither too big nor too small, just right.
Even though Shen Qingru had made a million preparations in her heart, she still felt dark in front of her eyes after seeing the embroidered shoes of the right size: "Please, sister..."
Her throat rolled over, and she pressed her head hard against the bluestone slab: "Please help me, sister."
"But elder sister, this is not the way to ask for favors."
Shen Fu not only has a beautiful face, but also a beautiful voice. The women in the south of the Yangtze River are as gentle as water, especially soft and attractive.
Now she pinched her soft and tender voice and said softly: "If you ask for help, you have to pay a price."
Shen Qingru's heart tightened when she heard this. She raised her head and said in a dry voice, "What do you want?"
Chen Fu raised the corners of her eyes, with a smile on her timid and innocent face, and her gaze fell on Feng Chun behind her.
"I want her life."
****
At night, thunder rumbled and a cold wind blew in the dry weather.
The shadows of the willow trees swayed gracefully, and in the dark night, a figure slowly appeared at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The man was wearing a sky-blue cloak and a hood on his head. The beautiful figure was covered tightly, and it was impossible to see what it looked like in the dark night.
Only the hand holding the glass lamp stretched out from the sky-blue cuff, revealing a slender white wrist.
It is as white and delicate as carefully carved mutton-fat white jade.
Just showing one hand is enough to show that this is a rare beauty.
The guards outside the Qianqing Palace stood straight, with the scimitars at their waists icy cold. Seeing the woman coming, the guards let her pass without blinking.
Shen Fu walked unhindered all the way until she reached the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
She raised her eyes slightly, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red as she looked forward.
She naturally knew why the Emperor wanted her to come over tonight.
Since I refused to come, His Majesty had a way to let Qingru come to find me, and after going around in circles, she finally appeared in His Majesty's palm.
Even though Chen Fu had been prepared in her heart, when she really arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak.
The Dongzhu on the shoe surface swayed slightly, and Chen Fu stood in the distance for a while. The door of the Palace of Heavenly Purity creaked and opened from the inside.
Shen Fu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk inside.
The room was quiet, with the candlelight flickering slightly in the dark night. It seemed as if they had been deliberately extinguished, leaving only two dim oil lamps.
Shen Fu held a glass lamp, and the weak candlelight shone on the shining floor tiles.
It was pitch black ahead.
Chen Fu stood there, knowing that His Majesty clearly did this on purpose.
She bit her lip, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. As she was hesitating, a hand suddenly came forward from behind and hugged her waist.
His large, hot palm rested on her slender waist, his fingertips slid along that slender waist and easily slipped into her cloak.
When the hot fingers touched her, Shen Fu's knees weakened and she moaned subconsciously: "Long live..."
There was a sneer from behind.
The person behind her stepped forward, breathing hotly from his broad chest, and his hot, wet lips fell on her neck, leaving teeth marks without hesitation:
"You're late."
His fingertips moved up along her waist and abdomen, and Xiao Yu called out softly towards her face, "Chen Ronghua."
