Chapter 93 Going to the Harem
"Xiaojiu, why did you come out? Where is His Majesty?" Xiao Fuzi frowned slightly as he looked at Anjiu who came out in a hurry.
How can we leave Your Majesty alone?
You really don't know the rules.
An Jiu said unhappily: "I...I'm going to the toilet, please let others in."
After saying that, she ran away.
Xiao Fuzi had no choice but to ask Xiao Qiu and Xiao Xia to go in.
These two people were very afraid of the emperor, but there was nothing they could do so they had to bite the bullet and go in.
But the emperor told them to get out.
Two palace maids came out with sad faces and explained the situation.
Xiao Fuzi couldn't make up his mind either. He felt that the emperor might be angry and if he went in now, he might die.
So Xiao Fuzi didn't go in either.
The emperor was the only one in the empty hall. The sound of his faint breathing lingered in the hall for a while before returning to calm.
The emperor lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while, then stood up and called for help.
"His Majesty."
Xiao Fuzi felt that something seemed to be wrong in the hall, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Not long after An Jiu came out, he saw Aunt Qu talking to a few people. An Jiu walked over and saw Xiao Qiu, Xiao Xia... and the new Xiao Dong.
This Xiaodong is a beauty with an oval face. She always smiles when she meets someone and is very good at dealing with people. Even if Aunt Qu gives her the cold shoulder, she can still smile.
"Remember, your mission is to serve His Majesty well. If you make His Majesty unhappy, I will not be able to help you."
Aunt Qu said this mainly for Xiaodong to hear.
Xiaodong nodded.
Aunt Qu left, and Xiaodong smiled and said to the remaining three people: "The three sisters came earlier than me, so I will trouble you to take care of me from now on."
Xiao Xia said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether you take care of us or not. We are not children. Just do your own job well."
Xiao Dong was not embarrassed. She took out a few pieces of jewelry from her body and handed one to each of them: "Don't be polite, sisters. I'm new here, so this is a little gift from me."
An Jiu returned the things to Xiao Dong.
"I can't accept this."
Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu's faces turned pale. They knew how their predecessors died. One was sent away because he was not good at his job and was restless, and the other was sent away because he accepted money from outside and leaked the emperor's affairs, so...
If you bury it before the weather gets cold, the grass on the grave will grow earlier next year.
Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia handed the things to Xiaodong. Xiaoqiu reminded: "Just do your job well in Guanghua Palace. Don't do these things. We won't accept them."
Xiao Dong smiled and said, "It's all because of my lack of consideration."
She kept smiling. Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia finally decided not to go too far and took her to the place where she was familiar with sleeping.
An Jiu walked towards his own cabin.
Xiaodong looked back at her, then asked Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia: "The three of us are Xiaqiudong, what about Xiaochun?"
Xiao Qiu said: "There is no Xiao Chun. Xiao Jiu used to be Xiao Chun, but then His Majesty asked her to change it back."
Xiaodong asked again: "Then Xiaojiu won't live with us?"
These things were not secrets, so Xiao Xia said, "Xiao Jiu lives over there in the warehouse."
"She lives alone? Isn't that lonely?"
Xiao Qiu glanced at her and said, "Mind your own business and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Xiaojiu is a favorite of Aunt Qu and Eunuch Li, and His Majesty also looks upon her differently. In the future, whether she is favored by His Majesty as a mistress or becomes a head aunt in Guanghua Palace, she will be different from them.
Others can do this because of their ability. If you don’t have this ability, all you can do is not to offend capable people.
Xiaoqiu understood this principle, but she felt that Xiaodong obviously didn't quite understand it. He was pretending to be very kind, right? After all, everyone has worked their way up in the palace. Who could be fooled by this trick?
Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia looked at each other, and no one said anything more.
…
Lin San knelt before the emperor and told him everything he had found out.
"The road leading out of the east wall is the palace road. You can go anywhere."
The emperor frowned. This meant that the clue was broken.
"Send someone to guard Jinxiu Palace."
If that person comes again, he can be caught at the first opportunity.
The emperor took out the drawing drawn by An Jiu and looked at it again.
The young boy hid under the bed and saw his mother being killed, but the murderer did not leave and stayed in the room watching him...
My scalp tingles just thinking about it.
The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy.
It's a pity that he has no memory of being seven years old.
He couldn't help but think of his seven-year-old self again.
Is he trapped in that painful memory every day when he wakes up?
Is that why I have to wake up again and again, and pursue the truth again and again?
The emperor exhaled.
He stared at the picture on the drawing and started looking at it again.
Is what Xiaojiu said true?
Why does she know everything? Why does she suit his taste so well?
The emperor was not stupid. He found that his emotions were always influenced by Xiaojiu.
An ancestor once said that a qualified monarch should not have any weaknesses.
Could Xiaojiu be his weak spot?
Just thinking about it, the emperor laughed.
How is that possible?
How could he possibly like a palace maid who was good for nothing...only a little clever, slightly understanding and able to cook delicious food?
He must have been affected by the mood of that idiot.
When Xiao Fuzi came in, Lin San had just left and the emperor said he wanted to go out for a walk.
Xiao Fuzi didn't quite understand. Didn't he just go out? Why did he go out again?
But this time the emperor was not going out for a walk, but to the harem.
Harem?
Xiao Fuzi realized something belatedly, but didn't dare to ask anything and waited for the emperor to leave.
The concubines in the harem were so idle that some of them just washed their faces and watered the flowers in the yard with their hair loosely tied up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The little palace maid ran over and said excitedly, "Quick, quick, His Majesty is coming."
"What Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" The beauty paused and asked again in disbelief.
"You said His Majesty is coming?"
The little palace maid flushed and said excitedly, "It's His Majesty who has arrived. Everyone else has left. Your Majesty, please leave as well. This is a remote place. His Majesty was kidnapped before he even arrived."
The people in the palace were busy washing and dressing up.
The Emperor did come.
But he regretted it as soon as he arrived.
He remembered Xiaojiu's warning that he must not smell any fragrance, otherwise he would probably get sick.
So he took a handkerchief to cover his nose, walked for a while with an indifferent face, and met various concubines who came to greet him. These people dressed up gorgeously and surrounded him to greet him, and some of them secretly watched him from a distance...
The emperor felt like a monkey on the street.
He couldn't take it anymore.
Logically, these people are his women...
But the embarrassing thing is that he didn't know any of them.
"Your Majesty, the crabapple flowers in my yard are blooming. Would you like to come in and take a look?" said a bold concubine.
emperor"……"
It's October now, and the crabapple blossoms are blooming? Do you want to hear what you're talking about?
With the first one, the rest are even bolder.
"Your Majesty, I have some of the best Longjing tea in my room. Would you like to come in and taste it?"
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty……"
When everyone discovered that the emperor was not as scary as the rumors said, and that he was still very handsome even with a cold face, they became more and more courageous.
As the emperor looked at this scene, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.
There were women all around him, dressed up beautifully, all looking at him and smiling, and the bolder ones even waved at him.
"Uncle, come in and play."
emperor?
The two scenes overlapped strangely. He felt a little sleepy, as if someone was pulling him, but the emperor did not lose his mind. He shook his head, regained his senses, and subconsciously looked at his empty right hand.
Why did he feel that someone should hold his hand and lead him away at this time?
