Chapter 719 Su Cairen
The two changed their clothes and went out to the backyard.
Xiao Xixi looked at the still gray sky and felt weak all over and dizzy. She wanted to fall to the ground and fall asleep at any time.
But for the wild boar, she could only force herself to cheer up and run slowly along the ridge of the field.
Luo Qinghan was practicing sword by the river.
The terrain along the river is flat, very suitable for practicing swordsmanship.
Xiao Xixi ran while watching Luo Qinghan practice sword.
Luo Qinghan's posture now appears more mature than before, and his momentum when swinging the sword is more fierce. There are fewer fancy moves, and each move is fast, accurate, ruthless, simple and neat, hitting the vital points directly.
When he sheathed the sword, the fierce aura on his body also disappeared into the sheath, and he returned to his usual calm appearance.
But her breath was still a little disordered, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and her lips looked redder than usual, making her look even more sexy and charming.
Xiao Xixi ran towards him facing the rising sun and threw herself into his arms.
"Your Majesty, I am hungry."
Luo Qinghan helped her push the loose hair behind her ears and said calmly, "Go back and have breakfast."
Xiao Xixi groaned, "I'm tired and can't walk anymore."
Luo Qinghan squatted down in front of her.
"Come up."
Xiao Xixi immediately rushed over and hugged his neck.
Luo Qinghan handed her the sword and asked her to hold it, while he held her up with both hands and walked back steadily with her on his back.
When the eunuch Chang and others who were standing nearby saw this scene, they were all very surprised.
They didn't expect that the emperor, who was always cold and indifferent, would actually lower himself to carry a woman on his back.
Even if this woman was his favored concubine, he would not do this!
While they were stunned, Luo Qinghan glanced at them.
The gaze was so cold that they shuddered and hurriedly looked away, lowered their heads, and dared not look again.
In the afternoon, Fang Wujiu came to Yunxiu Palace.
He came to check on Xiao Xixi's pulse and mentioned Su Cairen's matter in passing.
Fang Wujiu held the wolfberry tea in his hand and said slowly, "This Su Cairen is not a simple person. You have to be careful."
Xiao Xixi was quite curious: "What happened to her?"
Fang Wujiu showed a rare look of hesitation.
"She gives me a weird feeling, but I'm not sure what's wrong with her. Anyway, it's better to be careful."
Xiao Xixi responded obediently: "Yes."
She is usually too lazy to go out and doesn't like to socialize with others, so she probably has no chance to come into contact with Su Cairen.
However, she was slapped in the face the next day.
Because Su Cairen came to him on his own initiative.
Su Cairen was born very beautiful, the kind of beauty that was extremely aggressive, and people would be involuntarily attracted to her at first sight.
Even though her illness had not yet healed and her face looked a little pale, it still couldn't conceal her blazing beauty.
After seeing Su Cairen with her own eyes, Baoqin immediately understood why Chen Wanyi deliberately made things difficult for Su Cairen.
Such a dazzling beauty can easily arouse dislike from her peers. In addition, everyone is in the harem and has the same conflicts of interest. Chen Wanyi will definitely try her best to suppress her and prevent her from having a chance to succeed.
Su Cairen: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Her voice was a little hoarse, yet there was an indescribable gentleness to it, which, combined with her appearance, made her even more charming.
Xiao Xixi was leaning on the railing of the wooden bridge, looking down at the koi in the stream.
Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Su Cairen who was standing two steps away.
"Are you Su Cairen?"
"It is me."
Because of the reminder from the senior brother yesterday, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but look at Su Cairen a few more times.
She wanted to see what kind of person was that even Old Dog Fang was confused about his actions.
Xiao Xixi wanted to see Su Cairen's character and background through his face, but unexpectedly discovered that Su Cairen's face was very strange.
Obviously her facial features and facial contours are very beautiful and flawless.
But when Xiao Xixi looked at her face, it was like looking at flowers in the fog, and she couldn't see it clearly.
After Su Cairen sat down, she saw that the imperial concubine was staring at her, and she couldn't help but blushing.
She bowed her head slightly and said respectfully.
"I have come to bother you, Your Majesty, on purpose to express my gratitude to you.
Thank you for your help, Madam Concubine.
If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine, I'm afraid I would have fallen seriously ill.
I have no way to repay you for saving my life.
In the future, as long as the Imperial Concubine needs my help, please feel free to give me instructions.
I will leave myself to the Imperial Concubine's orders. "
She said this very bluntly, and her meaning was very clear. She wanted to seek refuge with the imperial concubine, and she was very humble, only talking about repaying a favor, without mentioning anything in return.
Su Cairen is one of the two most outstanding-looking people among the six newcomers who entered the palace this year.
If this person could be recruited for his own use, it would mean reducing a strong rival in the future competition for favor.
However, Xiao Xixi was not interested in any of these.
Rather than engaging in intrigue and forming cliques, she would rather spend her energy on eating, drinking, sleeping and enjoying life.
She said casually, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary. Judging from your condition, your illness must not have healed yet. If you haven't recovered yet, go back and have a good rest."
Seeing that she was unwilling to accept his surrender, Su Cairen couldn't help but bite his lower lip, showing a bit of disappointment.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will go back now. When I recover, I will come back to pay my respects to Your Highness."
Zhezhi sent Su Cairen out of Yunxiu Palace.
Seeing that the imperial concubine lowered her eyes and remained silent, Baoqin couldn't help but ask.
"My lady, what do you think of this Su Cairen?"
Xiao Xixi responded casually: "It's okay."
Baoqin analyzed, "Su Cairen and Chen Wanyi live in Ningxin Palace. Chen Wanyi has a higher position and more seniority than Su Cairen. Even if Su Cairen can escape this disaster by chance, she may not be able to escape the next one. I guess she came to you to seek shelter so that she won't be bullied by Chen Wanyi again in the future."
Xiao Xixi: "Oh."
Seeing her cold reaction, Baoqin became more and more curious.
"What do you think, madam?"
Xiao Xixi answered truthfully: "I was thinking this fish is quite fat."
Baoqin followed her gaze and saw the koi swimming in the stream, and she was immediately embarrassed.
"My lady, this is koi, you can't eat it!"
Xiao Xixi: "If you can eat it, you will know after trying it."
Baoqin: “…”
Xiao Xixi: "I've decided, I'll have grilled fish for lunch today!"
Finally, Baoqin couldn't bear to touch the koi, so she asked someone to go to the backyard pond and catch a big grass carp. She roasted it first, and then simmered it over low heat with broth. The fish meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was very fragrant!
As for the matter of Su Cairen, Xiao Xixi had already forgotten about it.
On the eighth day of September, the palace held a ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Concubine.
Not only the Emperor, the Grand Empress Dowager, and all the concubines were present, but the royal families in the capital also sent their ladies to the palace to watch the ceremony.
…
I have received your concern, and I am especially grateful for your tolerance and understanding. I bow my head in gratitude.
I didn't expect that you guys would vote for me even though I didn't ask for monthly tickets yesterday. Oh my little heart is really going to be killed by you guys~
