Chapter 46: Dark Heart (Part 2)

He rushed to a few feet away from Jingxi Palace. Ruoxi asked the guards who were carrying the chase stopped, got off the chase, thanked him, walked into Jingxi Palace, and the guards carried Kong back and reported his life.

Ruoxi returned to her room quietly. After a while, Caiping walked in. Her face was complicated, with envy, jealousy, and indignation. She stared at Ruoxi and said sarcastically: "I have long seen that you are a charming person. The master is kind-hearted and kind to you. I don't want you to be so sinister. Tell me, what magic did you use to seduce the emperor?"

Ruoxi just said nothing, silently changed out of her wet clothes, cast her hair again in front of the mirror, threw off the screen, and walked to the main room to serve Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was stirring a small bowl of snow clam seed porridge with a small silver spoon. When she saw her coming in, she urged: "The imperial physician sent by the emperor is already waiting in the side hall. Go quickly."

Ruoxi lowered her head and answered "Yes", then turned around and walked towards the side hall. Lu Yuan looked at her back and thoughtfully.

Biluo walked up and said, "Princess Shun may be right. Ruoxi is indeed not a simple girl. As far as I know, she is very versatile. The fact that she fell and drowned today is strange. The master must be careful."

Lu Yuan said lightly: "If she really has plans, I can't defend against it. This lotus seed is too bitter, just take it down."

Lu Yuan slowly stood up, walked to the window of the moon cave, added water to the parrot, teased it, and taught the parrot his favorite poems.

After teasing the parrot, he took out a book from the grid, opened it and spread it on his knees to look at it. He was still a little restless. He couldn't read the words on the book. He sighed softly, closed the pages, and looked at the porcelain bottle of Ru kiln on the table in a daze. His right hand unknowingly stroked his lower abdomen. Recently, she had already felt the fetal movement. Perhaps because of this child, she cared about more things. His feelings and the women around him turned into miscellaneous threads that were wrapped around her heart, which could not be cut and kept messy.

The emperor's love belongs to the entire harem, how could she hope to inherit it alone? She shook her head mockingly, no longer thought about it, and picked up the unfinished baby bellyband in the basket and embroidered it carefully. The vermilion brocade and the festive pattern of the culinary cherry blossoms of the juicy cherry blossoms were her deep love for the children in her belly.

In Chengming Palace, Yu Lin was reviewing the memorials, and the hall was silent. Li Zhong stood at the entrance of the hall and obeyed the orders. He saw a very handsome maid coming from afar, carrying a small food box in his hand.

She walked up to Li Zhongyingying and bowed to her, her voice was as pleasant as a bell: "Eunuch Li, I am the one who serves Concubine Ying in Jingxi Palace. Our master asked me to come and give the emperor a cup of freshly made almond tea. Please tell me to spread it to you."

Seeing that she was sent by Yingpin, Li Zhong did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried in to report it. After a while, he came out to invite Ruoxi in.

Ruoxi walked into the hall calmly and knelt in front of the hall to deliver a great gift to Yulin. Yulin looked up and saw her wearing a crow bun, with a few exquisite velvet flowers on her bun, and a pink palace outfit, which made her look more and more cute. Her beautiful eyes were flowing, and she smiled and asked with a smile: "What did Yingpin send you?"

Ruoxi bowed his knees and bowed, and said frankly: "It was not the one who sent me by Concubine Ying, but the servant who used the guise of his master. I would like to forgive me."

"Oh?" Yulin said strangely: "Who sent you here?"

Ruoxi said: "Don't the emperor remember? A few days ago, you rescued a woman who fell into the water in Qingfuzhi, who is a slave."

Yulin suddenly remembered it and said loudly: "Yes, I remember it, you are called..."

Ruoxi hurriedly said, "My servant is named Ruoxi."

"Ruoxi?" Yulin nodded and said, "A good name. The beauty Ruoxi is looking forward to wandering."

Ruoxi calmly continued: If you don’t go to the world, you will live in the deep hometown. Make grass as your companion, pick up red makeup.”

A hint of surprise and surprise flashed in Yulin's eyes: "Have you read a book?"

Ruoxi lowered her head and said, "I was born in a family of salt merchants. Since I was a child, my father hired a teacher to teach me how to read and read. However, later my family fell into ruin, and my family was desperate, so I was sent to the palace to be a maid." As he said that, tears flashed from the corners of his eyes.

After hearing this, I felt very pity and sighed: "It turns out that you are a lady from a noble family, no wonder I think you are different."

Ruoxi raised her head, faced Yulin's gaze, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "Ruoxi was grateful to the emperor for saving his life. Today, she made this almond tea, under the guise of Concubine Ying, so that she could see the emperor and thank him in person."

Yulin smiled and said, "Being able to repay kindness means that you have a good character, not to mention that you are well-read and well-read, so it's a pity to be a little slave. Are you willing to serve me?"

Ruoxi said gratefully: "The emperor looks down on Ruoxi, which is a great blessing from Ruoxi, Ruoxi is willing."

I was very happy and immediately wrote an order, called Li Zhong into the hall, and asked him to go to the palace to convey it. Ruoxi was named Changzai and named Li, and was left to sleep in Chunyuan Hall that night.

When the imperial edict was passed to Jingxi Palace, Lu Yuan was playing chess with Shunpin. At first hearing, he was speechless and held the chess piece in his hand for a long time without falling.

Shunbin sneered: "The fox's tail can't be hidden. I have long felt that this girl is inappropriate, and I have also reminded my sister that she was not guarded after all."

Lu Yuan's face was as thin as a cloud. She threw a chess piece and played with the silk ribbon with a concentric knot on her skirt, saying, "I have never been aware of her. If she is willing, how can she be able to defend against it."

Shunpin nodded and said, "This is true. The feelings of men since ancient times were just 'going happy to live in the sun, going east and west', let alone the king of a country?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It is well known to everyone that the late emperor loves the Queen Mother's aunt. There are also concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards. The king's mind is more stable than ordinary men. You must be open-minded, otherwise you will only suffer."

Shunbin smiled bitterly: "I have seen through it for a long time, so it's good if you can understand it."

Lu Yuan suddenly said relaxedly: "I have always been sentimental recently. Maybe it was because of my pregnancy that made my sister laugh. Sister, how about you come and see the bellyband I embroidered on the child in my belly?"

Shunbin gently lifted the soft bellyband, looked carefully, and smiled, "The embroidery is very exquisite, this pomegranate is lifelike, and my sister's skills are getting better and better. I have also made a few pieces for the children in your belly, but the needlework is far worse than that, so don't dislike me."

Lu Yuan smiled and said angrily: "Sister said something different again. I like what my sister made, but it's too late. I'll thank the sister for the child first." The two of them laughed as usual.

The next day, when he went to Kunyi Palace to pay tribute to the queen, the queen had not arrived yet because she was taking care of the little prince and was waiting in the side hall.

Liangpin said first: "Yesterday the imperial edict was passed to the concubine's palace. I was really surprised. A little palace maid suddenly became the title of Changzai. It was really a strange story. It seems that the person Yingpin contributed was really the emperor's heart?"

As soon as this said, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Yuan. Concubine Rong said contemptuously: "I am pregnant and unable to serve the bed, so I made my maid to charm the emperor. It was really a despicable method."

Lu Yuan just said nothing and looked as usual. Concubine Xian couldn't help but defend her: "Pin Ying didn't know about this in advance, so don't misunderstand Pin Ying's sister."

Wei promised to sharply: "Even if Concubine Ying didn't know about it in advance, she was still the one who kept the tiger."

Yipin shouted: "Wei agreed not to look at his identity. Can you blame Yingpin sister?"

Everyone was arguing, and the queen came at the right time to stop everyone, and said seriously: "Pin Ying is pregnant, so don't be able to confront her. This is my testimony that it is indeed not sent by Pin Ying to the emperor."

Yu Guiren whispered: "A little girl can climb up the branches and turn into a phoenix. She was suddenly named Chang Zai. Besides, she was served last night and didn't come to pay tribute to the Queen today. She was really arrogant and rude!"

"Negotiable Jade!" The queen said in a dangerous manner: "Don't talk nonstop anymore. Since she has become a concubine, don't use her maid to expose her shortcomings and embarrass her. Since ancient times, heroes have not been asked about their origins, and everyone is a concubine, so they must live in harmony. This palace also needs to take care of the prince, and they are all separated."

After coming out of Kunyi Palace, Liangpin deliberately slowed down and landed behind everyone. He walked to An Lingyue and quietly said, "I saw that my sister Su and Yingpin are kind to each other. Why didn't she recommend her sister to the emperor and let the emperor get close to you, but instead brought a maid. Is it better to be a maid because of the friendship between her sister and Yingpin?" As he said that, he gently patted his hand on her shoulder and left.
