Chapter 30 After Marriage
The candlelight flickered, and the boy's appearance before me became somewhat blurry.
Jialu even thought she had misheard.
She had previously requested to leave the palace once or twice, but it was clearly the young man before her who had prevented her from doing so.
But why bring it up at this particular time?
Jialuo looked at the boy.
The boy looked at her calmly.
Perhaps it was her silence that made Fulin aware of her confusion.
He spoke again, saying, "What, don't you want to go out?"
Of course, Jialuo wanted to go out. She quickly nodded and said, "Of course, I want to go."
"But why did Your Majesty allow me to go out at this time?"
Fu Lin curled his lips into a smile and casually said, "Since the Empress wants to go, why shouldn't I allow it?"
"Alright, security will be with you to protect your safety."
Of course, Galo wouldn't refuse.
Just then, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Today, the Empress Dowager ordered me to arrange the palaces for all the concubines. As for Lady Dong'e, may I make arrangements?"
The Dong E clan she was referring to was not the Dong E clan that was selected as a concubine.
Rather, it was Dong E, who was originally the wife of Prince Xiang.
Upon hearing this, Fu Lin paused for a moment without replying.
Jialuo naturally didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at the time, then at the silent Emperor, and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, it is late. You have to attend the morning court session tomorrow. Why don't you make your arrangements?"
"Um."
So the two of them got up and headed towards the bed.
Galo then realized what a wrong topic she had brought up.
The moonlight was dim and shimmering in the courtyard, and the branches swayed gently.
It was early winter, but Shouan Palace was as warm as spring.
Jialuo disliked the dry cold of the capital, so he ordered people to start heating the underground heating system early on.
"The Empress seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself."
Fu Lin sat on the couch and casually said something while looking at the girl standing on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Jialuo did not deny it, but simply said, "Your Majesty, I am somewhat afraid of the cold, so I instructed people to turn on the underfloor heating as soon as winter began."
Fu Lin took off his shoes, speaking in a very casual tone.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager is also very afraid of the cold."
Jialuo walked to the bed and sat on the other side, her voice gentle: "Because I am the Empress Dowager's own niece, we always have many similarities."
Upon hearing this, Fu Lin was taken aback, and he raised his eyes to glance at her with his dark eyes.
He didn't give Jialu a chance to observe his expression closely.
Then he got into bed and actually closed his eyes to rest.
Galona's previously restless heart finally returned to its place. She blew out the candle, turned around, and climbed onto the couch to rest.
She slept very well that night, but at some point, she woke up.
For a moment, Jialuo had no idea where she was. She looked up to see where she was, but suddenly sensed something was amiss.
She turned her head and met a pair of eyes.
Jialuo was taken aback, not realizing how long Fulin had been staring at her like that.
"woke up?"
Just as Jialuo was about to speak, she suddenly heard the door open.
It was the security guard who led a group of eunuchs through the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
Jialuo turned back and closed her eyes, still feeling drowsy.
Fu Lin got up, washed up, and his handsome features still had traces of water on them.
Jialuo then stood in soft shoes, looking tired, beside the court robes offered by the security guard.
Are you that sleepy?
Fu Lin asked, somewhat amused.
Jialu pouted somewhat reluctantly.
"Your Majesty is so busy with affairs of state that it is naturally better to get up as early as possible. But I don't have that many things to do, nor do I have Your Majesty's abilities. Whether I get up early or not is actually useless."
Fu Lin glanced at her with amusement, then leisurely watched as Jia Luo clumsily dressed him.
After Jialuo put the court hat on his head, Fulin looked at her and said, "I grant you permission to rest again."
These words were spoken in an ambiguous manner, and the eunuchs and palace maids around them all lowered their heads slightly.
Jialuo: "..."
After Fu Lin left, Jia Luo did not go back to sleep.
She once again opened the memorial concerning the selection of sleeping quarters for the five concubines, which had been interrupted the previous day.
"Niohuru is in Chuxiu Palace, Shi is in Jingren Palace, Fifth Sister is in Yongshou Palace, Angel is in Xianfu Palace, and as for Dong'e, Yikun Palace is fine."
This choice was made entirely around the Qianqing Palace, where the Emperor currently resides.
They were all very close to the Emperor's Qianqing Palace, except for the Empress's Shou'an Palace and Angel's Xianfu Palace.
Emerald glanced at Jialuo and whispered, "Master, this is the furthest you'll ever get from the Emperor."
Jialu thought to herself, "I just want to stay away from him."
"As the Empress, my duty is to ensure the stability of the harem. As for other matters, I should stay out of them."
"Go, issue an imperial decree that all the concubines move in today."
"yes."
Inside the Chuxiu Palace, where the concubines were temporarily housed.
The eunuch announced the imperial decree, and the concubines reacted with varying expressions.
Consort Niohuru glanced at Angela and Angel, who were standing up hand in hand.
She gently covered her mouth with her embroidered handkerchief and said softly, "Her Majesty the Empress is truly fair. There are only a few palaces close to the Emperor's Qianqing Palace, and our Consort Shu and Consort Ke only occupy one of them."
Upon hearing this, Angrama glared at her, her voice indeed gentle.
"It's amazing how well Consort Xian knows the location of the palaces. When we first entered the palace, we sisters didn't even know which palace gates faced which way."
Consort Xian's expression turned cold. She smiled and glanced at Angel, who was being pulled along by Consort Shu, and said in a low voice, "Although Consort Ke is a bit far from the Emperor, she is closest to our Empress. They are both sisters of the Borjigit clan. Your Majesty the Empress is truly fair and just."
"Yes, what you said is very good. When we sisters go to pay our respects to the Empress, we will definitely tell her. The Empress certainly doesn't know that Consort Xian praised her so much."
Upon hearing this, Consort Dao, who had been standing silently to the side, stepped forward. Her expression was docile, and her voice was gentle.
"Today is the last day we sisters will stay in Chuxiu Palace. We will each move to our own palaces this afternoon. Let's not talk about this anymore, we still have to pack up."
Zhen'er, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "Yes, what Consort Dao said is very true."
Angel tugged at Angelama's hand and whispered, "Fifth Sister, let's go inside first."
Angel pulled Angel into the house.
Unlike the other sisters, the two women were placed in the same room upon entering the palace.
Because Little Angel had never lived alone before, she was also the most beloved little princess in the family.
The two sisters sat on stools in the room, and a maid came forward to serve them a cup of tea.
"Fifth sister, your Yongshou Palace is so far away from my and sixth sister's palaces."
Angel said in a low voice, somewhat reluctantly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something.
Her expression turned expectant as she asked, "How about we ask Sixth Sister to tell us that the palaces of the three of us sisters are all next to each other?"
However, the image of Garo that she had seen that day flashed into Angelama's mind.
Sixth Sister is still as beautiful as ever. Even without makeup, she is still much more beautiful than her face with elaborate makeup.
Sixth Sister enjoyed Abu's most favoritism when she was on the grassland.
Even if Mother prefers the other sisters, what good does it do?
Only with Abu's favor can you get the best.
Sometimes it was fabric brought from the capital, and sometimes it was a cute doll.
Every time, every time her sixth sister got something, Angelama would subconsciously compare it to her own.
Before, all the pink and tender colors were for her, but ever since Jialuo came into our lives, those cutest colors have become for Jialuo.
But ever since Angelama accused Abu of favoritism, Galo has been pretending to be generous and telling Abu to put all the things he gave to his sisters in one place and let them divide them among themselves.
The sisters, who originally had some resentment towards Jialuo, just like her, forgave her so easily.
Only she knew that Jialuo was doing this on purpose, deliberately trying to be different from her "jealous" act. Jialuo was always the "generous" one!
Even now, Jialuo, who is younger than her, has become the empress, while she has become a "concubine".
You have to grovel before her and fawn over her!
No, she absolutely could not allow herself to live in Galo's shadow for the rest of her life.
This time, without Abu's favoritism, the Emperor also did not like Jialuo.
Angrama couldn't wait to remove her seemingly magnanimous sixth sister from the position of queen and imprison her in the cold palace!
And she will truly become the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, making Abu, who has always been skeptical of her, regret his decision!
It also made the mother who supported her entry into the harem and her vying for the emperor's favor proud!
He also wanted to personally trample Galona's proud and beautiful face into the ground, making her wag her tail and beg for mercy!
"Fifth sister, fifth sister?"
Angel noticed that she was only drinking tea and not speaking, so she called out to her.
She genuinely wanted all her sisters to live together so they could take care of each other.
Angela put down her teacup and smiled at Angel, saying, "Angel, Your Majesty, Sixth Sister must have put a lot of thought into this arrangement. It's for our own good. You're still young, and Sixth Sister dotes on you."
“Naturally, you need to be near Sixth Sister’s palace so that she can take good care of you.”
"As for me, I should naturally be closer to the Emperor so that I can serve him well."
"After all, we're not just here to play house with our sisters; we'll all be the Emperor's concubines in the future."
"Among the three of us sisters, one of us must win the Emperor's favor."
"Angrama said meaningfully."
Angel wasn't an ignorant little girl, and she knew that what her fifth sister said was right. Her mood became gloomy, but she didn't say much. She sighed softly and said, "That's right. I heard on the grassland that my sixth sister is not favored by the emperor."
"I don't know what the Emperor is thinking. It's obvious that Sixth Sister is the most beautiful among us sisters."
Upon hearing this, Angrama curled her lips and sighed softly, "It's clear that our Emperor isn't entirely judged by appearance."
“Angel, in order for us sisters to live well in this harem, there are some things you still need to tell only your older sister. My sixth sister, you, and I are all too far away. What if we can’t keep in touch?”
"Besides, sometimes when Sixth Sister has to fulfill her duties as Empress, she has no choice but to do things against her will. At that time, we sisters will need to help Sixth Sister."
Angela's voice was soft, and Angel felt that her sister had said a lot, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I'll remember!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch's shrill voice came from outside.
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"
