These days, there are rumors in the palace that after the prince was deposed, Emperor Zhengxing seemed to have some intention of neglecting Concubine Sun.
But Sun Guifei is a more tolerant person, neither arrogant nor impetuous, she just takes good care of the children, and even "cuddles" her many times, automatically handing over most of the burden of managing the Sixth Palace to Concubine De.
It's just that her resigned attitude made her little sister Sun Jieyu anxious.
When Concubine Sun showed a little bit of forbearance and dormancy, the little goblins hiding in the harem became excited.
In today's Dali harem, not only is the queen's position vacant, but among the three concubines, Concubine Sun is falling out of favor, and she herself is too smart. Emperors have never liked people who can figure out their own thoughts. This kind of People seem to be a little restless; Concubine Xia De is calm and honest, and she is also gentle and beautiful, and she is also a talented woman. Unfortunately, she seems to be too settled, and she can't even hit a fart with eight sticks, which makes people sad. Feeling boring; Wanqi Xianfei was charming and very interesting, but she was too sweet. Emperor Zhengxing pampered her decently a few times and soon lost interest.
And among the remaining concubines, few have obtained the Sacred Heart.
Ye Zhaoyi came from a noble family, with good character and beautiful appearance, but she always looked old-fashioned and serious. She was simply a replica of the Concubine De, even more boring than the Concubine De. , Embroidery and cooking are women's duties. Under the influence of such a family, Ye Zhaoyi has become the least talented and boring person in the harem.
Mei Xiuyuan is much more interesting and charming than Ye Zhaoyi, but it’s a pity that she chatters and laughs all day long. She likes to exaggerate everything no matter what, so as to spread the news in the harem. She also loves to nag, and is shocked every time she comes back. Emperor Zhengxing was so annoyed with her.
Jiang Chongrong was even more annoying to Emperor Zhengxing. She is not as nagging as Mei Xiuyuan, nor is she as dull as Ye Zhaoyi. She is somewhat smart, and her beauty is slightly better than Mei Xiuyuan's, and she is of the delicate type. However, she is shallow and ignorant at heart. When she sees someone's shortcomings, she will go around making trouble and telling accusations. Like, fanning the wind, lighting will-o'-the-wisps, and setting off stumbling blocks, thinking he is very clever. Emperor Zhengxing could not avoid this human bomb in the harem - nine out of ten times she slept with him, she complained at his pillow.
Sun Jieyu was fine, but unfortunately in Emperor Zhengxing's heart, this "Little Sister Yuehe" was just fine. She was the same person who vented her breath through the same nostrils as Sun Guifei. Except that her skin was firm and smooth, the rest of it was different from Concubine Sun. The other concubines are about the same. When it comes to brain seeds, they are still far away from Sun Guifei. They are tasteless concubines. They are tasteless to eat and it is a pity to abandon them.
As for the Empress Dowager's niece Chen Meiren... Emperor Zhengxing admitted that she was dazzlingly beautiful, and that her temperament and temperament were different from any other concubine in the harem. She also had a bit of Empress Gu's stubborn temper when she was young, but for her strong mouth Emperor Zhengxing still found it unacceptable to hear the local accent and the chicken dung and duck feathers that could be seen everywhere in Yaoguang Hall.
The remaining women were each more displeasing to him than the last.
Lu Baolin, the only seductive vixen, also dimmed after her miscarriage. Emperor Zhengxing visited her twice when he was rising, but every time he saw her thin and desperate face, his love for her gradually faded away.
This Emperor Dali needs a fresh woman by his side.
In the small study room of Weiyang Palace, Emperor Zhengxing was reviewing the book with a pen, but his heart could not calm down for a moment.
He was annoyed, he was irritated, and there was a burning feeling in his heart, but he couldn't get rid of it.
But it would be a pity if he vented his anger on the concubines in the harem.
Those women were either mean and ignorant, or they were smart, or they looked like widows with bitter melon faces. They were neither smart, cute, nor gentle. Why should they deserve his attention?
However, when he was wandering around the Yongchun Palace yesterday, the little palace maid in green clothes sweeping the flowers was a bit interesting... she seemed to be new.
Thinking of the little palace maid who was bullied to the point of red cheeks and tears, the corners of Emperor Zhengxing's lips curled up, and the memorial in his hand was put on the desk.
"Xiao Dezi, find a girl for me tomorrow." When Emperor Zhengxing said this, the corners of his mouth were raised, and even his eyes were full of smiles, and it was still a smug and uncontrollable smile. .
Seeing that Emperor Zhengxing was in a good mood, Zhang Youde nodded and came up to join in the fun: "I don't know which girl is so lucky to win the attention of the master."
Emperor Zhengxing played with the ink pen in his hand, with a smile on his face: "She is a maid from the Imperial Concubine's Palace. She is not very old, about seven or eight years old. She has a neat appearance, but she has a bit of a coquettish temperament."
Seven or eight years old?
Zhang Youde was stunned in his heart. His Majesty's taste was really becoming more and more elusive to him.
"Master, which empress will you like to sleep with me tonight?" Zhang Youde's mind changed slightly. His Majesty has not touched the concubines of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard for several days.
Emperor Zhengxing was still thinking about that little girl with a delicate appearance and a delicate temperament. Seeing that Zhang Youde gave him another difficult problem, he pondered for a while and said, "Then let's go and see Ye Zhaoyi."
Ye Zhaoyi?
Zhang Youde thought to himself, the last thing Your Majesty remembers is this empress. How could it happen today... Yes, Ye Zhaoyi's Li Zheng Palace is right behind Yongchun Palace, and the two families are very close to each other.
It seemed that His Majesty was thinking about that seven or eight-year-old girl, and she was considered lucky, so Snow-white Fuchen made a move——
"Present the beautiful main hall."
The main hall of Li is dimly lit.
Ye Zhaoyi saw that the palace maid had already cut the lanterns several times, and there was no sound outside the palace, so she stopped waiting and stood up and said: "Ms. Yao, I'm sleepy, please help me to sleep."
Yao Niang bit her mouth and asked hesitantly: "My queen, won't you wait a little longer? It's not yet time."
"So what when the time comes?" Ye Zhaoyi slowly took off her outer clothes and smiled a little bitterly.
She doesn't have much love for His Majesty, and His Majesty doesn't like her very much, which is the same.
Concubine Sun fell out of favor due to neglect during this period, while Concubine De fell out of favor as soon as she entered the palace. As for her, she had never been favored, so how could she fall out of favor?
Yao Niang was speechless for a moment. Since ancient times, her master has been unpopular. Being able to sleep with him two or three times a year is considered a great favor.
Ye Zhaoyi fell asleep under Yao Niang's care. As soon as Tou Si'er hit the pillow, there were rapid footsteps outside.
It was the young eunuch who was keeping watch outside Li Zheng Hall.
The little eunuch was so excited that he almost fell down. Madam Yao held him up, but he shouted happily: "Sister Yao, sister Yao, tell your Majesty! Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here!"
Your Majesty is here?
There was a lot of noise outside, and before Yao Niang came in to report the news, Ye Zhaoyi opened her eyes and sat up. She had just gotten on the bed, but she was not actually asleep. So, when she heard His Majesty arrived, she quickly sat up and put on her clothes. Waiting for the Holy Spirit.
The maids on the side were also as anxious as anything, and they all wanted to fly up and rub rouge on their heads for her.
Ye Zhaoyi looked at the youthful face in the bronze mirror, but felt a little confused in her heart. How could His Majesty think of her at such a young age?
She is not beautiful, she is not charming, she is not the kind of charming beauty that His Majesty likes. Even her temperament is not in harmony with His Majesty, and she has never even had a child.
In the past, if His Majesty could ignore her, he would be the first to ignore her.
Why did it happen today?
She does not have such high self-esteem. She was not favored by His Majesty when she was young and beautiful. Now that her appearance has declined, how can she still be favored by His Majesty?
Ye Zhaoyi twisted his head and thought to himself, the key to this must not be simple.
Facts have proved that she was right.
After Emperor Zhengxing arrived, he was a little polite with her and then suggested that he want to take a walk in front of Lizheng Hall.
Although Ye Zhaoyi's knowledge is shallow, she still understands the ways of the world, so she lowered her head pitifully and looked quite worried: "I'm scared! Your Majesty wants to go for a walk in the Banyan Garden, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. , Concubine, I had an occasional cold a few days ago, I'm afraid I may be over the illness."
When she said this, Yao Niang stared anxiously behind her. What was going on with her master? His Majesty finally came here, so why did she push him away? !
Fortunately, Mr. Ye is obedient! Emperor Zhengxing put his hands behind his hands and smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's just a pity that tonight the moon is so beautiful that I can only appreciate it alone."
Ye Zhaoyi nodded obediently, raised her head cautiously, and asked: "Then, does your majesty want my concubine to arrange for some palace attendants to accompany you?" If your majesty can take a fancy to a certain maid in her palace, what will happen to her and her family? That said, it is also a blessing.
"Yes." Emperor Zhengxing also wanted to see the quality of the maids in Li Zheng Palace.
Yao Niang called out the two most beautiful maids in Li Zheng Palace with resentment, and they were both charming and affectionate.
So Yao Niang pulled the two of them aside and told them angrily: "Ye Tong, Xu Ying, you must serve His Majesty well. If His Majesty is unhappy in the slightest, you know the consequences."
The two women nodded quickly.
Ye Zhaoyi walked Emperor Zhengxing to the front of the palace with his head lowered. He bowed politely and said in a hard voice: "Your Majesty, go slowly."
It's more like a pebble.
Seeing Emperor Zhengxing going to the banyan garden accompanied by Zhang Youde and the two of them, Yao Niang whispered to Ye Zhaoyi in a low voice: "Empress, Your Majesty finally came here, how could you... Oh!"
Ye Zhaoyi smiled slightly, but there was a little tear in her eyes: "Can't I tell whether your Majesty wants to stay here or not?"
Yao Niang said anxiously: "Then you can't take advantage of Ye Tong!"
"Atong is her father's illegitimate daughter. This is her only way out, and it is also the way out for the Ye family." Ye Zhaoyi held on to the fake bun she had just made before, with a cold and indifferent smile, as if Emperor Zhengxing had never been here. Same.
"But your Majesty..." Yao Niang looked at her and felt very distressed.
"I have no way out." Entering the palace was not something she wanted to do. She is just for the family.
And now, she sent her half-sister to her husband, just for the sake of the family.
If the clan leader were here, he would probably agree with her approach.
"But if Ye Tong becomes powerful, he wants to deal with you..." Yao Niang grew up with Ye Zhaoyi, and is four years older than her. She has also taken care of her for so many years. She is really like a sister to Ye Zhaoyi. Motherly friendship, she knew that Ye Tong was not a good thing.
Ye Zhaoyi smiled, her brows filled with a hint of bright confidence: "With Xuying here, it will be difficult for Atong to succeed."
Banyan Garden.
Emperor Zhengxing walked around in half-hearted mood. There was nothing to see here. It was still cold, and everything he said was chilly.
Li Zhengdian is really a barren place. Not only is the owner not good, but even the garden is inferior to the gardens of the concubines' palaces.
However, these two palace maids are still pretty, and their nephrite is warm and fragrant. If he really can't meet the little girl from Yongchun Palace, he will just make do with it.
Emperor Zhengxing quietly handed Zhang Youde an expression. Zhang Youde nodded knowingly and said with a cold breath, "Your Majesty, I have rheumatism and my legs and feet are inconvenient. I'm afraid I have to sit here and wait for you."
"What an old guy!" Emperor Zhengxing scolded with a smile, but allowed him to sit down and rest.
Emperor Zhengxing retreated from everyone, leaving only Ye Tongxuying to walk quietly behind him carrying a glass hydrangea lamp.
In winter, all the leaves on the trees have fallen off, and there seems to be only the sound of insects everywhere.
Emperor Zhengxing didn't know that there was a pair of eyes deep in the banyan garden, staring at him closely.
Die'er was so nervous that she was shaking all over, but she knew that this was her only chance.
The nuns have always praised her as a sharp-tongued person. She will definitely be able to convince His Majesty to change his mind. At least, let him not be so ruthless towards the Second Prince.
Of course she knew that she was as cheap as an ant and would not regret her death, but she still held on to a magic weapon.
This is a magic weapon that can make His Majesty listen to her!
