Concubine Li Shu had just lowered her head sadly after hearing what Lao Zhu said about Zhu Fan and Zhu Xi. Now she looked at the little princes around her, thinking that her two sons were far away in the north, tears were in her eyes. Straight around.
As soon as Queen Ma and Lao Zhu left, she got up and left.
Lao Zhu hasn't been to her place for a long time.
After Lao Zhu fucked her mother-in-law several times, her brothers kept their tails between their legs.
Those slaves who followed the crowd and used to call her "Empress" and "Empress" affectionately, now when they saw her, they pretended not to see her and stayed away from her.
Not to mention others, even the palace people around her were obviously lazy.
There were only two people following her tonight.
Her bedroom is now more deserted than the cold palace. It's a long night when she goes back, lonely and boring.
The red plum tree in the imperial garden is in full bloom, so why not go and see the flowers, take a walk to eat, and maybe fall asleep early.
Concubine Li Shu thought and walked slowly to the imperial garden.
"Your Majesty, be careful of cold hands. I'll help you fold it," the palace maid said.
Concubine Li Shu: "No, I'll do it myself. You guys wait here."
The plum blossoms were so red and black under the dim moonlight, they were very enchanting in the snow.
Somehow she suddenly remembered a Wu song she sang when she was young.
"Fold plum blossoms, fold plum blossoms, climb the branches just to see the man. The man rides the horse, the man rides the horse, swaggering through the market without looking back."
Lao Zhu drank some wine tonight and was going to Guo Huifei's place to relieve his anger.
As a result, Concubine Guo Hui was diagnosed by the imperial doctor today as being pregnant again. She was still a few months old and could not sleep with her.
Then Lao Zhu went to Sun Guifei's place.
Concubine Sun is menstruating again and cannot sleep with her.
Lao Zhu came out of Concubine Sun's place and was wondering who to go to when he heard a woman singing.
The voice was gentle and delicate, like an invisible little hand, hooking his soul and pulling him over.
I saw a woman wearing a red cloak standing under the plum blossoms under the moon, folding the fiery red plum blossoms with her delicate hands, like a fairy under the moon.
Then the flames that had just been suppressed started to burn even more intensely.
Lao Zhu leaned over and said, "Who are you?"
When Concubine Li Shu heard the voice, she suddenly turned around and saw that it was Lao Zhu. She was about to kneel down, but suddenly she remembered that he must have been returning to Concubine Sun before passing by. She couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, and then she didn't want to kneel down and just stared. Watching Lao Zhu approach.
Lao Zhu saw it clearly and said, "Ah. Concubine Li Shu, it's you."
Concubine Li Shu sighed quietly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about my concubine?"
Lao Zhu smiled and went over to hug Concubine Li Shu: "How could I forget? Aren't we here?"
Concubine Li Shu pretended to struggle for a while and then gave up. She said shyly: "Your Majesty, there are many people here."
Then Lao Zhu picked her up and said as he walked: "Then let's find a place where no one is around."
When Queen Ma returned to the palace, she also thought of the red plum blossoms in the imperial garden. She also drank a few sips of wine tonight and felt very hot all over. She called a few people to go see the plum blossoms too.
As a result, I happened to see Lao Zhu flirting with Li Shufei and even taking Li Shufei away.
She stood there in a daze for a while.
The palace maid called her in a low voice: "Mother, it's cold in the snow, so you'd better go back early."
Queen Ma woke up as if from a dream, blinked, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Okay. Go back."
She knew that Lao Zhu had strong needs and she could not satisfy him.
As long as other women did not threaten her status, they would satisfy Lao Zhu and work for her, so she rarely felt jealous.
But just now when she saw Lao Zhu taking Concubine Li Shu away, she suddenly remembered that many years ago in Bozhou, her adoptive father pointed her out to Lao Zhu as his wife, and Lao Zhu was so happy that he picked her up.
Then for some reason, my heart felt as if someone had scratched it hard, and I started to feel uncomfortable, and my tears couldn't stop falling.
What's wrong with me?
Now my mother has given me the highest status in the world, and he has given me the highest status a woman can get.
What else am I not satisfied with? Why do I still feel so sad...
-----
Lao Zhu spent the night with Li Shufei.
Although the other concubines have their own tastes, things in bed are really what Li Shufei likes the most to him.
Otherwise, he would not take Concubine Li Shu with him every time he goes on an expedition.
Concubine Li Shu lay in Lao Zhu's arms and said resentfully: "The emperor is so cruel. He has not come to see me for so many days."
Lao Zhu smiled dryly: "Too busy."
Concubine Li Shu did not retort but began to cry: "What on earth did I do wrong to make the emperor hate me so much? I have served the emperor for almost twenty years and followed him all over the world. I have never been separated from him for so long."
When Lao Zhu saw her crying, he started to have a headache: "Oh, don't cry. We know I've been neglecting you for a while, so I'll just come here more often in the future."
Speaking of which, Concubine Li Shu followed him every time he went to war and suffered a lot, not to mention giving birth to two sons.
And we promised Li Jie back then to treat Concubine Li Shu well.
Although the Li family is a bit arrogant, they have become much more honest after being punished recently.
It doesn't seem right to ignore Concubine Li Shu in the cold after this incident.
Concubine Li Shu raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Really? Your Majesty is true to his word, and you cannot lie to your concubines."
Lao Zhu: "Really, really. We come here often, that's all."
Concubine Li Shu stopped crying.
Only now did Lao Zhu feel that it was so cold here at Concubine Li Shu, and he frowned and asked, "It's such a cold day, why don't you even turn on the heater here?"
Concubine Li Shu sighed: "These days, I have seen what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships. It's also my fault that I was too strict when I was in charge and offended many people."
Lao Zhu was stunned and understood instantly.
Although Empress Ma would not give Concubine Li Shu any shoes to wear, but Concubine Li Shu had lost her power and favor now, so naturally those servants who took advantage of the situation were no longer as attentive as before.
Coupled with the fact that the people in charge took the opportunity to step on Li Shufei, Li Shufei's life became difficult.
No matter how hard you step on it, you shouldn't even be given charcoal for heating.
This is really unreasonable! !
Lao Zhu was furious and said to his personal eunuch outside: "Send me the eunuch from the Xixin Department."
The eunuch in charge of Xixin Division was sent to Concubine Li Shu's palace early in the morning. It was a bit baffling. When he saw that Lao Zhu's bodyguards were all there, he suddenly understood more than half of it. Without saying a word, he knelt down as soon as he entered: "It was my mistake and I didn't bring the charcoal to the empress."
Then he slapped himself a dozen times, which made Lao Zhu tired.
Lao Zhu had just washed and dressed under Li Shufei's service.
He had a great time at Li Shufei's place last night. Now when he saw that all the eunuchs in the Xixin Department realized their mistake, they only said: "You must stop your habit of acting according to the wind and flattering others."
The eunuch who held the seal did not dare to say that it was Concubine Sun who refused to give in. He just kowtowed and said, "I know this."
