Chapter 46 - Yuan Xi's Awakening (III)
The next morning, Yuan Xi's fever had indeed subsided. The eyelids were heavy this night, and her eyes couldn't open even if she wanted to; her body was heavy this night, as if something was pressing down on her.
When Yuan Xi opened her eyes, she was really shocked, because the emperor was hugging himself around and lying on his side.
Puff! Puff! Yuan Xi's heart skipped a few beats, she had no idea what had happened, much less how the Emperor had laid down beside her.
"Cheng Hua!" Qian Lan called out in a low voice when he saw Yuan Xi open his eyes.
Yuan Xi glanced in the direction of the Emperor, and Qian Lan immediately understood and said, "Cheng Hua had a high fever again last night, and the Emperor came to see Cheng Hua before he was able to invite the Imperial Doctor, and it was the Emperor who saved Cheng Hua's life."
Is he the one who saved my life? If it were not for him, how could Qian Ning have died and how could I have gotten sick? But if it is not him to come, really can not invite the doctor, so it is really he saved my life. Yuan Xi can't help but feel somewhat amused at the thought.
As he spoke, the emperor woke up, and the emperor extremely naturally put his hand on Yuan Xi's forehead, felt the temperature, and said, "Finally, the fever has subsided! I can go to court at ease."
Qianlan was so alert that when he saw the Emperor say so, he added: "Cheng Hua's fever subsided yesterday morning, but he got hot again at night!"
"No harm done! I will come back at night! Come quickly and change my clothes!" Qianlan then busily got up from the ground and retired his regular clothes for the Emperor, replacing them with the court clothes he brought from the Shiqian Hall.
Is changing clothes suddenly remembered that the concubines daily to go to the hall of hsien yang to the empress, then said: "you only fever, the body is weak, today do not have to go to the hall of hsien yang, I'll let Liu Yi to go to know a word."
Yuan Xi didn't say anything and only nodded.
Knowing that the Emperor stayed in the Hall of Containing Zhang last night, the lackeys in the Hall of Style Qian will bring the Emperor's court dress early in the morning.
Four lackeys, two men and two women, holding the emperor's court dress, boots, beads and crown, walking on the verdant stone paved palace road, would have attracted attention all the way.
Until see the emperor from the hall of containing chapter out, full of palace up and down is more sigh.
The Empress is wearing a bright yellow peony embroidered robe sitting on top of the phoenix seat in the Hsien Yang Hall, all the concubines are in the hall to the Empress, Liu Yi came to the hall according to the emperor's orders.
"Eunuch Liu has come to the Hall of Xianyang this early in the morning, but has the Emperor given orders?" The Empress asked politely.
"The emperor let the slave will tell the mother a word, Hu Chenghua last night burned all night, today will not come to the mother to ask for peace." Liu Yi said in a board, in fact, the Emperor's running a trip, just want to let the Palace up and down people know Hu Chenghua has regained favor.
"This palace knows, and I'm tired of the eunuch making this trip!"
"Don't bother! His Majesty also asked his servant to tell the Empress that he will come to the Hall of Hsien Yang for breakfast after the morning court!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Good day, eunuch!" The Empress smiled and nodded.
After Liu Yi went out, Chen Chenghua said, "Sister Hu didn't show up yesterday, and she burned up again in the night, and alarmed the Emperor, so I guess it must be quite serious!"
"Whether it's serious or not we don't know, but this heat wave has burned its way into the Emperor's heart!" Cui Jieyu said leisurely as she fanned her small bushel.
Concubine Yun glanced at Cui Jieyu, who smiled at her.
"Cui Jieyu this word, to the heart of this palace, if the disease is a disease to live in the heart of the emperor cut, this disease will be extremely worth it!" Yun Gui concubine sighed.
"I wish I was sick, Your Majesty hasn't been to my place in half a month." Han Shifu complained to herself.
Lan Shifu gouged a glance at Han Shifu and sighed secretly, "Even if she dies of illness, I think the Emperor won't go to see it, and who will she show it to by making that wavy face every day!"
Between your words and mine, it was almost time for breakfast, and the Empress said, "All of them dispersed! This palace also want to serve the emperor with meal!"
After the crowd retired, Qian Xian helped the Empress back to the bedchamber, the Emperor will come to use the breakfast, it is bound to go through some careful dress up to be good.
So the Empress will change the morning court of the bright yellow robe for a light shirt of orchid embroidered with bamboo leaves, and pulled down the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, replaced with two orchid sideburns hairpin and two ear pearl step rock, made a more gentle and more homely dress up.
Qian Han said while dressing the Empress, "Empress Mother is really a brilliant plan, this Hu Cheng Hua has really regained her favor!"
The Empress did not say anything, but only smiled slightly.
Qian Xian continued, "The slave girl heard that His Majesty stayed at Hu Cheng Hua's place yesterday, and actually didn't call the people from the Division Bedroom, it's really rare!"
The Empress' heart moved, but then smiled and said, "His Majesty learned that Hu Chenghua's illness was nearly midnight, and it would not be appropriate to call the bedchamber at that hour, not to mention that nothing happened last night."
Empress these words in fact both in the said to Qian Han, but also in the comfort of their own, because all up and down the Palace know the Emperor's cleanliness, the Emperor if really do not mind Hu Chenghua, that must be Hu Chenghua in the heart of a different position.
Inside the Zhenghe Hall, Li Chonghua was having his meal, but the maidservant Qian Cherry was a bit fidgety.
Li Chonghua took a bite of glutinous rice tofu and put it in his mouth, asking, "What's wrong? Can it be that something is wrong at home?"
"There's nothing going on in the slave girl's home! The slave girl is worried about Chunghua!" Qian Cherry said hurriedly.
"Worried for the Palace? Worry about what?" This unexplained worry made Li Conghua feel a bit incredulous.
"Naturally, I'm worried about Hu Chenghua's return to favor."
"Heh!" Li Chonghua sneered and said, "What's there to worry about then? This Palace is Charging Hua, and she is nothing more than a Cheng Hua. This palace's father is a minister, Hu Chenghua's father is just an idle marquis. Furthermore, in the past half a month, the emperor has let this palace accompany the driver and let this palace serve the bed."
"Yes, yes, yes! It was the slave girl who was overly concerned."
Mingguang Hall, Han Shifu is sighing. Because she is favored because the emperor likes her plump, and the palace up and down, can be compared with her plump only Hu Chenghua only. But now that the main man is back, she is most afraid that there is no more place for her to stay.
Because she is very clear, the emperor this time all six palaces are favored, but just because and Hu Chenghua upset, now see Hu Chenghua back in favor, the future of the day really do not know how it will go down.
Seeing that the emperor had left, Yuan Xi asked, ''Speak! What in the world is going on? How did the emperor appear here?"
"Cheng Hua's high fever wouldn't go away, Chang Yong went to ask the Imperial Doctor, but he didn't come. Qianlan then sent us all out to get help! Who knew that as soon as we opened the door, we would see His Majesty standing outside the door." Qian Yun explained.
"At that time has nearly midnight, this hour the whole palace people have long been asleep, not to mention the emperor. The Emperor was unable to let go of you in his heart, so he came to the Hall of Containing Zhang!" Qian Lan added.
Yuan Xi is ice-clever and would have been able to see right through it, she naturally knows that Qian Lan's words are not wanting her to refuse to serve the bed again.
Since the people around them are counting on themselves, they can't chill their hearts, not to mention that Qian Ning's death really has nothing to do with her, so they also gave an attitude, saying: "You can not abandon me in adversity, I really can't just focus on myself! I promise you that from now on, I will serve you in bed!"
All three were heartily glad to hear it.
"Dress me up!" Yuan Xi commanded.
Qian He then gave Yuan Xi a clean face, Yuan Xi had just changed into a set of palace clothes and sat in front of the dressing table, only to hear Chang Yong shout outside: "The people from the Shang Food Bureau have arrived!"
