"Empress, come down quickly, it will be bad if someone sees you!"
Jiang Xinyue, who was holding a wine bottle in her hand, had climbed up to the peach blossom tree in the courtyard of Xihe Palace. Her pink gauze dress was lifted up and placed on her lap. Half of her snow-white calves were swaying, making people's eyes dazzle.
There is no one as bold as her in the palace.
"Shh!"
Jiang Xinyue, who was slightly tipsy, put her index finger on her lips: "Keep your voice down, this is in our own palace and will not be discovered."
Later, when she was working as a psychotherapist, she would often have a few drinks with her patients, so that she could close the distance between them and make them believe in her.
Her nickname at that time was "You will never get drunk after a thousand cups of wine."
Just now, Jiang Xinyue accidentally discovered the daughter Hong who had been buried under the peach blossom tree for several years. Jiang Xinyue dug it out in a hurry.
She had only been in the palace for three months, and she was the only concubine living in the Xihe Palace. This wine was buried by her predecessors, and before she had time to drink it, it was convenient for her descendants to pick it up.
Her drinking posture is elegant, she is half-lying among the branches in a leisurely manner. The peach blossom period has passed, otherwise it would definitely be a beautiful picture of a beauty lying intoxicated among flowers.
"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date. Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people in the shadow."
The woman's ethereal voice fell in Emperor Xuanwu's ears, so sad and sad.
He didn't even know how he ended up outside the Lotus Washing Hall while walking, and bumped into Zhen Ronghua drunkenly reciting poetry.
She is like an elf in the mountains and fields, incompatible with this harem, but it is her love that makes her stay in this deep palace.
Emperor Xuanwu's always lonely heart seemed to be comforted at this moment.
In the vast world, there are people who come for him.
If Jiang Xinyue could hear Emperor Xuanwu's thoughts, she would definitely complain that this ancient emperor was quite fond of thinking.
She just felt that it was extremely comfortable to lie in the tree, look at the stars in the sky, and hear the sound of frogs and cicadas in her ears.
It wasn't long after she arrived at Haishi, which in modern times was ninety o'clock, and the nightlife had just begun. She was not sleepy, so she learned how to climb trees at her grandma's house in the countryside when she was a child.
"I didn't know that my beloved concubine was so talented and could also compose poetry."
Jiang Xinyue squinted her eyes and tilted her head to look at Emperor Xuanwu. Then she smiled, jumped directly over the courtyard wall, and jumped down.
Magpie, Shuang Sheng, and Wang De were all so frightened that they almost screamed, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Emperor Xuanwu rushing over like flying and catching him steadily.
"babble?"
The culprit who scared everyone didn't know what he had done wrong. He poked the emperor's face with his finger: "You... you look like a person."
Wang Dequan lowered his head, and Xique and Shuangjiang immediately knelt on the ground, feeling worried for their master.
It was against the rules to touch the emperor's dragon body with such disrespect.
The drunken master is also terrible.
But to their surprise, Emperor Xuanwu did not get angry. Instead, he weighed the weight in his arms, held the person more securely, and then asked with a smile: "Who does he look like?"
The beauty's face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, and her charm was on full display.
She twisted in his arms, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at him: "Like the person I... like."
After saying that, he covered his face with his hands because he was too shy and did not dare to look at Emperor Xuanwu again.
The girl's thoughts are vividly interpreted.
The emperor's Adam's apple rolled twice, but thinking of Concubine Li's temperament, he carried Jiang Xinyue back to Xihe Palace and told Magpie and Shuangjiang: "Take good care of your mistress, and don't allow her to get drunk again."
He didn't want others to see her charming look.
"yes."
Just when Magpie thought the emperor would stay, he returned to Changxin Palace.
As soon as he left, Jiang Xinyue opened her eyes.
Scared to death!
Fortunately, the emperor did not rest here tonight.
She dared to steal someone from Chu Jieyu because even if Chu Jieyu wasn't favored, he didn't have much support behind him.
Concubine Li is different.
Not to mention that she already favored the harem, her position was only below that of the empress, and she had the power to co-manage the six palaces.
Just saying that her father was a first-class Prime Minister of the Yan Dynasty was already beyond the reach of the Jiang family.
Not to mention the high-ranking officials in their family.
Concubine Li was really offended. Crushing her to death would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
Changxin Palace was brightly lit. Concubine Li woke up and found that the emperor was not there. She had already had a fit, breaking several vases and injuring several palace residents.
When Emperor Xuanwu returned, Concubine Li had not had time to take away the angry look on her face. The palace maid with a slap mark on her face was picking up the pieces on the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
The shock and regret on Concubine Li's face flashed across her face, and soon turned into grievance and weakness: "I give this concubine to your Majesty..."
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine?"
The emperor couldn't tell what the expression was on his face. He stretched out his hand to support Concubine Li's elbow and held her in his arms: "But which blind servant made Concubine Li unhappy?"
He gave the steps, and Concubine Li immediately went down the stairs: "The ice basin in the house has been used up, and the servants did not come up. I was awakened by the heat. Your Majesty is not here, so I was afraid for a moment..."
Breaking things and beating and scolding servants when you are scared?
I am afraid that seeing the emperor's absence made me angry, so I vented my anger on the palace people!
Wang Dequan cursed in his heart, what a graceful girl Concubine Li was when she first entered the palace eight years ago!
Pure and innocent, kind and lovely, and stunningly beautiful, she won the emperor's heart.
Looking at it now, she is no different from those scheming women in the harem.
Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand that the emperor would be attracted to Zhen Ronghua.
Today's Zhen Ronghua really has a bit of the grace and temperament of Concubine Li back then.
"Why is it raining again?"
Magpie held an umbrella, and Shuangjiang supported Jiang Xinyue on the left and right: "The weather has been hot and cold recently, and I don't know how to dress anymore."
It is the season when it is too hot to wear too much and too cold to wear too much. It is also rainy and sometimes windy.
Jiang Xinyue also found it annoying. She was not a high-ranking concubine and could not ride in a sedan chair. It took half an hour to walk from Xihe Palace to Yikun Palace. For a lazy person like her who had to take a taxi for ten minutes, it was simply torture.
She was so tired that she had to get up a little earlier every day so as not to be late when she went to Yikun Palace to pay her respects.
"Zhen Ronghua came early today. It can be seen that Zhen Ronghua has to be more diligent in the absence of the emperor."
Chu Jieyu always hated Jiang Xinyue for robbing the emperor, and always found excuses to stab her.
But everyone in this palace is like this. Those who don't want to fight or rob have already gone to see the Lord of Hell. Could it be that Chu Jieyu hasn't robbed anyone else?
Jiang Xinyue sat above Chu Jieyu with lazy eyes: "If you say so, then Chu Jieyu should be the most diligent. Why don't you get up early every day to say hello? Are you secretly slacking off the Queen?"
Chu Jieyu had no favor, so she should have been the first to arrive.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Jieyu's face turned pale and she knelt on the ground: "The Queen is very aware that I have no such intention."
Empress Zhu didn't even look at her: "Zhen Ronghua just joked with you a few times, why did she scare you like this?"
They all glanced at Concubine Li. Chu Jieyu was Concubine Li's, so she felt guilty!
