Chapter 51: Seal of Grace (IV)

When Yuan Xi returned to the Hall of Containing Zhang, several new faces had already appeared in the courtyard, Qian Lan guided them to Yuan Xi and said, "Chunghua, this is the new courtesan sent by Duke Cai, Chunghua's rank should be equipped with six courtesans and two yellow doors, and we are short of people, so Duke Cai made up for three of them."

"There are enough people this time. You and Qian Yun and Qian He can rest too." Yuan Xi said.

"The slave girl is not tired, it's just that with this full complement of hands, she will be able to take care of Ching-hua in a more stable manner." Qian Lan pursed her lips and smiled.

"This is a lot of people, you sleep in one place, I'm afraid it's too crowded, you have time to pick up another room in the east side of the hall!"

"Many thanks to Charging Hua!" The three maidservants bent down and saluted.

The breakfast sent by the Shangshi Food Bureau has also changed from four dishes and one soup to six dishes and one soup instantly, Yuan Xi didn't have a good night's sleep, her spirit is not enough and she doesn't have an appetite, she only ate a few small bites, and Qianqi from the Hall of Xuan Guang came to the door with a box.

"Slave girl has met Hu Chunghua!" Qianqi blessed her body.

"Get up quickly! Bring a soft stool over for Miss Qian Qi!" Yuan Xi has been in the palace for the past few months, so she knows what the weight of these two powerful female officials beside the Empress and Yun Gui Concubine is.

Qianqi hurriedly said: "slave girl does not dare to, charging Hua to slave girl to give seat that is to give slave girl face, but if slave girl really sit, that is to disregard the honor and inferiority! The slave girl is here to deliver a thing for concubine Yun, and after delivering it, the slave girl still has to go back to serve!" Qianqi said and presented the box.

Qianlan took it with both hands and placed it on the table.

"What is it?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Just open it up and see for yourself, Chunghwa!"

Qian Lan was afraid that there was something fishy going on, and he was busy grabbing the brocade box to open it before Yuan Xi could do anything about it.

Inside was a full-bodied green Hetian jade ruyi, the head of which was outlined in gold wire, and the handle of which was inlaid with a red gemstone.

"How did Concubine Yun give me such an expensive gift?" Hu Yuanxi asked uncertainly.

"Hu Chonghua was able to be promoted, Yun Gui Concubine is the first of the concubines and should set an example and lead the celebration!"

"Then Yuan Xi will accept the honor. Please tell Concubine Yun that Yuan Xi will definitely come to her door to thank her on the other day."

Yuan Xi had a sleepless night, once Qian Qi left, Yuan Xi wanted to sleep, who knew that at this time, Chen Cheng Hua came with Li Cong Hua.

During this period of time, the yellow door of other palaces, all sent congratulatory gifts, Qian Yun, Qian He in the house to entertain Li Chunhua and Chen Chenghua two people, Qian Lan one person can not be too busy to push a pile of congratulatory gifts outside, they also called to include the A Zhen, including a few new courtesans to help record the library.

Li Chonghua and Chen Chenghua bent down as soon as they entered the warm pavilion:

"Congratulations sister!"

"Congratulations sister!"

The two of them congratulated each other in unison.

When Yuan Xi saw the arrival of Li Chunhua, there was a hint of unhappiness, because she was one of the people in the yin and yang, but now the two have come to the door to say goodbye, as the main family she did not have the reason to throw people out, can only be forced to accompany the spirit.

"What does sister like to do on weekdays? The days are long in this palace, so we can get together in one place to pass the time." Li Chonghua said with a smile.

Qian He, who was waiting at the side, was secretly unhappy in her heart and sighed, "Who is like you who have long days! Now that we have the Emperor with us, it's not like the days are long and the nights are long!"

"I usually like to read!" Yuan Xi said, she said is the truth, although she likes to dance, but has no intention of competing for favor, if nothing to show a song in front of the people, it is more to become a thorn in the side of others.

"Reading is good! Reading can make people grow knowledge, but I was small and do not like to read, for this my father also invited the private tutor into the home, but I did not learn a what in the end, will only memorize a few poems, recognize some of the words only!" Li Chonghua to my own statement, did not call myself the Palace is to let Yuan Xi added a good feeling about it.

"I can't read either, as soon as I read a book, that sleepy bug flew into my mouth, yawning all the time!" Chen Chenghua was the youngest, and his language was funny, a few people laughed after hearing this.

"I know that Shuling likes to sew on weekdays, what about Sister Li?" Yuan Xi asked.

"I also like embroidery work on weekdays, only my stitching is not as good as Shuling's."

"Shuling gave that birthday gift to Princess Yongle, I have seen it, that embroidery skill is really not as good as the people in the Shangyi Bureau." Yuan Xi said.

"I think it's a pity for sister Shuling to be the emperor's concubine. Why don't you send her to the Shangyi Bureau as an embroiderer, and we'll add a few more good clothes!" After Li Chonghua finished speaking, several people laughed again.

Between jokes and laughter, it was already three poles above sunrise, Li Chonghua and Chen Chenghua could also see that Yuan Xi was indeed very tired, and fearing that she would not have the energy to serve the bed at night and would be angry with them, they took their leave and left.

Yuan Xi was truly tired, and she did not intend to take a nap in the Warm Pavilion, but instead returned directly to her bedchamber.

She took off her outer shirt and cross-collar jacket, leaving only one to hold her belly and lie on the bed. When the Emperor came to see her fragrant shoulders exposed and plump ru bursting out on the bed, he couldn't help but wave his hand to signal Qian Yun to retire.

The emperor tossed and turned all night last night, and just got off the morning court, also very tired. I wanted to borrow her bed to sleep for a while, but she wore such a revealing dress, and that whopping plump ru hit the Emperor's eyeballs directly, so how could he sleep?

Looking at her flushed face and pink mouth, the Emperor couldn't help but move his mouth. "A kiss, just a kiss." The Emperor admonished himself.

Who knows that the emperor only covered the lips, Yuan Xi will tongue deep into it, stirring the emperor's mind is chaotic, which there is a trace of sleep?

The Emperor wants to retreat in one piece, while Yuan Xi is dead set on it.

"This half-asleep is even more enthusiastic than yesterday!" The Emperor wondered in his heart. But the fire of desire, how can there be half calm? Then took off his clothes and pants, no longer care about their own exhaustion.

"Why did you come out?" Qian Lan had only just finished sorting out the congratulatory gifts when he saw Qian Yun come out, so he asked.

"The Emperor threw out." Qian Yun pretended to be aggrieved and said.

"It's broad daylight, no way?" The two of them covered their mouths and snickered when they finished speaking.

"Quickly go and prepare the bath water, Chunghwa will be quasi-bathing in a while." Qianlan said.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart, these words fell into the ears of Ah Zhen, originally in the arrangement of the congratulatory gifts she had already smeared the powdered yam on the jade, at this time listening to the conversation of the two people, and suddenly had a plan.

Yuan Xi had a dream, and in the dream it was still the same Erhai Sea that she and Ji Yan had been on their honeymoon. The color of the sea was clear, and she and Ji Yan were living in a villa by the sea. At the moment, the two of them are on the swing outside the villa are blowing the sea breeze.

Ji Yan perched himself and asked, "Nuan, will you leave me?"

"No, never, even if you don't want me, I won't leave."

"If I dislike you and you don't leave, you'll become a nuisance." Ji Yan said half-jokingly.

"I'm just a nuisance." Lin Nuan pouted her little pink mouth.

Ji Yan took it into his mouth at once and carried it back into the villa.

The impact underneath her body jolted Yuan Xi out of her dream. She looked at the Emperor who was crouching on top of him and laboring desperately before realizing that she had not just had a wet dream. It was just that these days, why would I always think of Ji Yan for no reason?

When the Emperor saw Yuan Xi open his eyes, he joked, "You're more enthusiastic when you're asleep than when you're awake!" .

"Heh!" Yuan Xi laughed coldly in her heart and said darkly, "Even if it's enthusiastic, it's not for you."

After plowing, the Emperor is also covered in sweat, so he wants to share a bath with Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi is afraid that the Emperor's lust will rise again, so she excuses herself and wants to lie down for a while longer, letting the Emperor go first.

After the Emperor bathed, it was Yuan Xi's turn. After Yuan Xi bathed, she put on a set of light pink palace dress hanging on the hanger. This is a new set of five sets of clothing bureau sent a set, smoky taki gauze material is the most thin and breathable, cuffs, skirt tail embroidered a few tulips is also very chic.

After Yuan Xi took a bath, he felt tingling all over his body. At first only as a sweat bath let the wind hit to, who knows to the evening, the body but bulging a red beans like a rash. The emperor see can not help but some anxiety, just also under the beauty of the body, how not a moment has become this way?

Then the palatial palace maid Qianlan out to ask, Qianlan will be this day to see the people and the things received one by one report back, when heard that handle into the jade ruyi, the emperor's complexion slightly shocked.
