Chapter 835 Insomnia
That night, many concubines in the harem were looking forward to it, hoping that the emperor would turn over their cards.
Among them was the tuberculosis concubine.
She took a fragrant flower petal bath, put on a light white gauze skirt, put on delicate light makeup, and combed her hair into a simple yet unique bun without too much decoration, only two white jade hairpins inserted diagonally.
The concubine looked left and right in the mirror and was very satisfied.
Liu Xu kept praising her for her beauty, saying that all the concubines in the harem combined were not as beautiful as her.
Concubine Lao pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, you send someone to watch outside. If His Majesty comes, come and inform me immediately."
Liu Xu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I have already asked someone to watch outside the door. His Majesty will definitely turn over your card tonight. You just need to wait for His Majesty to come."
Concubine Lao looked at her and said, "How do you know that His Majesty will definitely turn over my name card? Did you do anything?"
Liu Xu did not hide it and spoke in a low voice.
"I bribed the people in the Palace Department to put your name card at the front. When the emperor flips the name card, he will definitely see you first."
The person with the highest rank in the palace now is the imperial concubine.
The Imperial Concubine’s nameplate was removed, and the next ones were Concubine Lao and Concubine Li.
Although Concubine Lao has a title and her rank is slightly higher than Concubine Li, the title of Lao is too embarrassing. In addition, Concubine Li now assists the Imperial Concubine in managing the harem. If we really compare them, the status of Concubine Lao and Concubine Li are comparable.
It doesn't matter whose sign is put in front.
Liu Xu took advantage of this loophole and found a way to put the brand of Concubine Lao in the first place.
Concubine Lao said softly, "Don't do such things again in the future. If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid he will be unhappy."
She said this with a smile on her face, obviously very satisfied with Liu Xu's cleverness.
Liu Xu took the opportunity to express her loyalty: "This servant is all for the Majesty. As long as the Majesty is well, this servant will do anything."
Concubine Tuo casually took out a gold bracelet from her dressing table and handed it to Liu Xu.
"This bracelet is a bit too big for me, so I'll give it to you as a reward."
Liu Xu was overjoyed and quickly took the gold bracelet with both hands, expressing her gratitude hurriedly.
What follows is a long wait.
They waited and waited, until the middle of the night, but still no sign of the emperor.
The expectations in Concubine Lao's heart had sunk to the bottom.
Liu Xu secretly asked someone to find out where the emperor went to rest tonight.
The result was soon found out.
Liu Xu reported the result to Concubine Lao.
"Your Majesty is staying in Weiyang Palace tonight, and no one has been summoned to sleep with him."
It’s hard to describe how Concubine Lao feels.
She was naturally extremely disappointed that the emperor did not summon her to sleep with him.
But the emperor did not summon anyone else to sleep with him, and she felt a little relieved.
Liu Xu was naturally disappointed. She had put so much thought into this, but it was all in vain.
She comforted Concubine Tuberculosis well, hoping that she would be more open-minded.
Unfortunately it's useless.
The concubine couldn't get over it no matter what. She felt depressed and couldn't let it go. She couldn't sleep the whole night.
There is another person who can't sleep tonight.
Inside Yunxiu Palace.
Xiao Xixi tossed and turned on the bed, changing several positions, but just couldn't fall asleep.
Usually she sleeps with Luo Qinghan in her arms.
It happens every night, I'm used to it.
Luo Qinghan was suddenly not by her side tonight, and Xiao Xixi always felt like something was missing, and her heart was empty.
She was like a pancake, turning over and over again.
After tossing and turning for half the night, I finally fell asleep.
The next day she got up for breakfast with big dark circles under her eyes.
Baoqin was shocked when she saw this and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, did you not sleep well last night? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Would you like to ask Doctor Fang to come and see you?"
If others don't sleep well, it may be because they have something on their mind, but it's different for the imperial concubine. No matter how big her worry is, it won't affect her sleep. As long as she wants to sleep, she can fall asleep in minutes to show you.
Conditions like insomnia have never occurred to the imperial concubine.
So Baoqin’s first reaction was that the imperial concubine was sick.
Xiao Xixi said weakly.
"No need to see a doctor, I just have some insomnia."
Baoqin was shocked: "You, you actually have insomnia?!"
Xiao Xixi: "What's that look in your eyes? I'm also a human being, why can't I suffer from insomnia?"
Baoqin wanted to say, even if the whole world suffers from insomnia, you can't suffer from insomnia!
She asked carefully, trying to keep herself calm.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me why you suffer from insomnia?"
Xiao Xixi said while eating breakfast: "It's all because of the emperor."
Baoqin understood it as soon as she heard it.
It turned out that the emperor didn't come to Yunxiu Palace last night, so the imperial concubine was missing him so much that she couldn't sleep!
Baoqin felt both distressed and relieved.
Her silly daughter finally understood what it felt like to miss someone. She has really grown up!
She felt that this was a good opportunity for the imperial concubine to take the initiative and express her love for the emperor.
Baoqin asked expectantly, "Since the Queen misses His Majesty so much that she can't sleep, why don't you do something to comfort her?"
For example, writing a love letter or embroidering a sachet and giving it to the emperor.
Although the imperial concubine is now under house arrest, there are still other people in Yunxiu Palace who can help deliver the token to the emperor.
Given the emperor's love for the imperial concubine, he would certainly be deeply moved as long as he saw the token sent by the imperial concubine.
The relationship between the two can then go a step further.
At the same time, the concubines in other palaces can also see that even if the imperial concubine is under house arrest, she is still the emperor's favorite concubine!
Xiao Xixi thought seriously for a moment, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"I have an idea!"
Baoqin was even more excited: "What method?"
Xiao Xixi: "Call Zhezhi over. She's good at sewing. I want her to help me make something."
Baoqin knew that her own imperial concubine's needlework was terrible, so when she heard this, she did not hesitate at all and immediately went to call Zhezhi over.
Xiao Xixi said to Zhezhi.
"I want to make a really big pillow, about this size."
She gestured with her hands outstretched.
Zhezhi was confused and asked: "What do you want such a big pillow for?"
Xiao Xixi: "Of course I sleep while holding you."
When Baoqin heard this, she immediately felt something was wrong.
She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to make something to send to the emperor?"
Xiao Xixi was confused: "Why should I give him something?"
Baoqin: "Aren't you suffering from insomnia because you can't see the emperor?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's because of my insomnia that I want to make a big pillow."
Baoqin was confused and obviously didn't understand the logical relationship here.
Xiao Xixi explained patiently.
"I usually sleep hugging someone, but there was no one around me last night. I couldn't adapt and had insomnia. I asked Zhezhi to make a big pillow for me so that I can hug it while sleeping. It's a perfect solution to my insomnia problem!"
Baoqin: “…”
Baoqin fell into a long period of self-doubt.
Why on earth does she have such expectations for the imperial concubine?
…
