Chapter 50 - Seung-un (III)

Once the Tatsu invitation was over, the concubines went back to their palaces.

In the warm pavilion of the Xuan Guang Hall, Yun Gui Concubine was unloading a shoulder-length tassel, rubbing her temples and saying, "This hairpin is so heavy, it presses my brain to ache!"

"This is the lady a few days ago sent people to send into the palace, is specially invited to the Division of the craftsmen's specially for your concubine to build, you see the specifications of this step rock even the Queen Mother that only nine phoenix step rock can not compare. You see the flying luan mouth spit out the new green, that is a piece of glass kind of green, plus these six with the same color jadeite inlaid bearing tassels, really is gorgeous! Qianqi said and then rubbed the neck for Yun Gui Concubine, Yun Gui Concubine closed her eyes comfortably!

Qianqi saw that Yun Gui Concubine didn't utter a word and continued, "I heard that the Emperor didn't pass on the Division Bedchamber when he favored Hu Chonghua last night."

Yun Gui Concubine sneered and said, "His Majesty treats her really differently!"

"Your Highness, why didn't you say a word at the Hall of Hsien Yang today?" Today is Yun Gui Concubine does have some anomalies, her usual domineering nature is a bit different.

"What did this palace say? Chunghua is just a woman, the Palace has yet to put her in its sights. With the Emperor's nature, it is just a fresh picture, which woman in the harem is not so! If she can really keep the Emperor's heart, it is also worthwhile for this Palace to pull in a couple!"

"Who says the Emperor doesn't have a woman he always favors, your concubine is the one on the tip of the Emperor's heart!"

"He is the Palace's own cousin, and the Palace knows exactly what kind of person he is!"

"Does Your Highness mean that you want to bring Hu Chonghua on board?" Qianqi asked again.

"The Emperor favors her, the Empress lifts her up, so, this Palace also gives her a thin face! In a moment after breakfast, you will send her the Jade Ruyi that the Emperor rewarded the Palace with a few days ago!"

While the master and servant were chatting, a figure in the corner of the warm pavilion of the Xuan Huang Hall cast a look of remembered hatred at Qian Qi.

Li Chonghua herself didn't put Hu Yuanxi in her eyes, but she got a promotion for serving the bed for one night, which made her a bit unable to sit still.

She had always thought that she was on good terms with Chen Chenghua, and at the end of her invitations, she directly dragged Chen Chenghua to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In the face of the six small dishes sent by the Shangshi Food Bureau, Li Chonghua was tasteless and only simply ate a few mouthfuls, Chen Chenghua could not help but snort a laugh when he saw her indolent appearance.

"Shuling, what are you laughing at? How can you still laugh after all this nowadays?" Li Chonghua asked in disbelief.

Seeing Li Conghua's eager expression, Chen Chenghua really found it funny, so he took a bite of a watermelon ball and put it in his mouth, snickering, "To put it in an unruly way, my sister's current appearance looks like her butt is on fire, she can't stand or sit down."

"You see today's palace up and down you a with nothing like, no wonder! You have not yet served in the bed, since you can not experience the flavor of my heart. You are a clear observer, come and help me think of a way!"

"Think of what?" Chen Chenghua asked with feigned confusion.

"A natural way to regain the Emperor's favor!"

"Sister has never fallen out of favor so how can she say that she has regained it?" Chen Shuling continued to feign ignorance.

"What I mean is to be able to regain the attention of the Emperor. You know how the Emperor treated me when I first entered the palace, but then Han Shifu and Lan Shifu all came to share the favor, and now there's another Hu Chenghua! No! She has now become Hu Cheng Hua! She is now the equal of this palace!"

"Sister! Don't you think nonsense." Chen Chenghua persuaded, "How is it possible that she is promoted after every bedtime service? The Emperor has ordained her this time, in my sister's opinion, it's just because she died in the palace before and the Emperor wanted to relieve her!"

"Really?" Li Chonghua asked with round eyes in disbelief.

"That's how my sister feels!" Chen Cheng Hua took another bite of the watermelon ball and put it in her mouth.

"Even if she won't go over me for a while, what am I going to do when in the end she shares my favor with those people?"

The emperor favored her a few times, the emperor then favored others she felt that others divided her favor, this fairy logic really let Chen Chen Chenghua feel very ridiculous, but Chen Chenghua did not show on the surface, but a leisurely smile, said wryly: "She came to share sister's, then sister will go to share her!"

"How do you divide it?" Li Chonghua was quite puzzled.

Chen Cheng Hua smiled slightly and attached a whisper.

"Good! We'll have our meal here, and afterward, we'll go to the Hall of Containing Zhang!"

"The days to come are long, and there is no rush for this moment." Chen Shuling smiled indifferently.

But Li Chenghua that anxious temper, how to wait, so after the meal, they pulled Chen Chenghua went to the Hall of Huanzhang.

In fact, what Chen Chenghua said is nothing more than to let Li Chunghua come more to the Hall of Containment to move around, because the emperor often come to the Hall of Containment, that often with Hu Chunghua to move around, naturally will meet with the emperor.

Inside the Xuan Cherry Hall, Sima Guihua was standing under the corridor, under the corridor hung a bamboo birdcage, a bird with a blue body and only a handful of yellow hairs on the top of its head was chirping in the cage.

"Guihua, the pair of parrots sent by the Shangzhen Bureau a few days ago were quite pleasing to the eyes of the slave girl, and could be a companion to the parakeets (the name of the bird), why didn't Guihua keep them?"

"Parrot learning, don't you know?" Sima Guihua was spreading out his palm, which had a total of five melon seeds on it, and the parrot poked his head out of the cage and ate a single melon seed into his stomach.

"Guihua! Why do you only feed a few grains at a time?" Qianlu asked.

"It is best to have everything in mind." Sima Guihua placed his index finger under the parrot's neck and was teasing the bird.

"Guihua heart in the end still cares about the emperor, to say a word that should not be said, the slave girl feels that the words in the Hall of Xianyang this day should not be spoken!"

"You don't think you should either? This Palace regrets it even after saying it! It's just that it's hard to hold back when you're in love!"

Xianyang Hall, the Empress is reclining on the couch looking at a volume of accounts, Qian Han a lift curtain came in, said: "Mother, just now Xiangyu send food boxes back, see Qian Qi is holding a long box to the north to go!"

"Which Qian Qi?" The Empress did not recall for a moment, which palace this Qian Qi was in.

"It's the big palace maid beside Yun Gui Concubine!" Qian Han said.

"Take a what?" The Empress did not put down the accounts, but asked while looking at them.

"Listening to Xiang Yu, that box is about a palm model and more than a foot long!" Qian Xian gestured and continued, "It was covered with a red velvet cloth pocket and tied with a red spike. The slave girl thinks that it should be the Emperor's reward to the Niangniang and Yun Gui Concubine for that handle of Jade Ruyi!"

"Heh! It's not even warmed up yet, she's really willing to give it up!" The Empress put down the accounts in her hands and continued, "I don't blame her for being so generous, the Yun family is already rich and powerful! If it wasn't for the late Emperor wanting to check and balance the Yun family and not letting the Yun family alone dominate the dynasty, he wouldn't have promised Princess Wei and I to the Emperor. It is a pity that this Yun family is also far-sighted, seeing the Emperor's hope of ascending the throne, but also willing to Yun Gui Concubine married in as a small ambush low. If I am not a year older than her, early her one year into the house, that year that the second lady is her, now it is not the turn of the Palace to do this after the queen."

"Your Highness, why are you talking about this for a good reason? It's all destined by God, she just doesn't have that fortune!" Qian Han flattered.

As he was talking, Xiang Yu said outside the door, "The people from the Division Planting Office are here."

"Let her in." Qianlan said.

A palace maid dressed in an emerald green court dress came in as soon as she lifted the curtain, this person was Precious, and as soon as she entered the room, she respectfully knelt on the ground.

"Although the work of the Division Plant House is not heavy, but in the end, it is not as decent as serving at the concubines' side!" The Empress said straight to the point.

"When Ah Zhen was being bullied, it was Your Highness who saved the slave girl's life, so if I can serve Your Highness, I will die for you!"

Qian Han snorted a laugh and said, "Where is the need to take your life!"

"The slave girl's mouth is clumsy and she can't speak." Ah Zhen raised her eyes slightly, but was afraid that her vulgarity would taint the Empress's heavenly face.

"It doesn't matter if your mouth is stupid, it's fine if you're more resourceful." Qian Han said.

"Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the Hall of Contents, you can go to the Hall of Contents! Keep an eye on Hu Chunghua for the Palace!"

"Obey!" Ah Zhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, ready to retreat, before leaving in the end could not help but glance at the Empress with thoughts in her heart.

Remember when she first entered the palace, she broke a plate and bowl, was picking up broken porcelain when it was the food bureau of the people will be stepped on the foot, porcelain into the hand, blood flow. This is not the first time, because it is just entered the palace palace maid, not much family history, and some stupid, so Precious has been bullied.

Coincidentally, this day the Empress personally went to the dining room to supervise the Emperor's meals, met this scene, punished the people who bullied her, and then allocated her to the kind of Si ZhiShuZhou with the world, is so that Ah Zhen has always felt the Empress's grace, deep in the heart of the hidden her.

Three years have passed, the Queen's appearance has not changed at all, still as when we first met, as if she was an immortal.

"Wait!" The Empress blocked.

Precious was delighted and took the opportunity to look back at the Empress again.

The Empress smiled faintly and said leisurely, "Since Yun Gui Concubine has given something to the Hall of Huanzhang, then we might as well kill two birds with one stone!"
