1086. Chapter 1086 Serving Tea
Hu Yue'er felt that her heart was about to jump out. She just went to the Imperial Garden to relax on a whim today. She didn't expect to meet the emperor here. What made her even more unexpected was that the emperor would actually let her serve tea at the waterside pavilion. She had been in the palace for a few years. Over the years, she has not seen the emperor more than three times, even though she was summoned to the Yangxin Hall...
She recalled the first time she met the emperor in the Yangxin Hall. How lucky it was for the beautiful girl who had just entered the palace to get the emperor's invitation. She was ready to serve the emperor with all her strength, even if she couldn't be favored. To make her family prosperous, she must also work hard to give birth to a son and a half to rely on. She was lying on the dragon bed and thinking tremblingly, when a tall figure appeared in front of her.
That was the first time she saw the emperor. It was different from what she had imagined. It turned out that the emperor was so young and handsome... His eyes were deep and dark, making people feel as if they were about to sink into them. Hu Yue'er felt her heart beating. It was getting faster and faster, and the expectations in her heart became different after seeing the emperor.
If she could get even a hint of his love, she would feel that she would die without regrets.
She was looking forward to what would happen next, looking at the emperor with trembling eyes. Time passed little by little, and she was a little at a loss. Why did the emperor just look at her, but didn't even want to touch her?
Hu Yue'er wanted to turn her head away in embarrassment, but she didn't dare. Even though the emperor looked at her naked body with critical eyes, she didn't dare to move.
Then, the emperor turned and left.
There seemed to be some disappointment and...disgust deep in his eyes?
Hu Yue'er suddenly felt like she had been punched hard in the face. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
The emperor doesn't like her! She clearly felt this fact. Did she do something wrong?
She couldn't figure it out and felt that her time in the palace was over. When the eunuch rolled up the blanket and carried her away, she felt that there was no way to survive. But when she was sent back to Chuxiu Palace, the maids were even more fawning towards her. They even said that her better days were ahead, and even Concubine Lu, who was favored at the time, gave her a face, as if she was really... favored by the emperor.
Then, she was sent to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, but she never saw the emperor again. The people around her became more and more flattering to her. She felt guilty and embarrassed, but she did not dare to tell the truth.
The emperor seemed to... have some ulterior motives in asking her to go to bed.
Hu Yue'er heard someone calling her next to her. She quickly came to her senses and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the emperor. Her heart was beating loudly. This was the third time she had seen the emperor. She didn't know... he still remembered her. ?
She knew that the emperor's favorite person was the empress, but recently there were rumors that the empress's child had an unknown origin. The emperor must have heard it, and she didn't know what he would think.
If the empress falls out of favor, then these humble concubines will have a chance to get close to the emperor.
She didn't think the emperor was an emotional person before, but now she doesn't think so anymore. Maybe... maybe there is a second woman who he can hold in the palm of his hand like the Queen.
What if...what if that person is me?
"What's your name?" Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold, but he didn't look at Hu Yue'er. He sat here and let a woman he had never met serve tea. It was not because he fell in love with this woman, he just felt that she The woman looks very smart, and according to Eunuch Fu, she is the only one who has been promoted in the past few years. She should not have been annoying to him before.
Hu Yue'er held her breath, knelt down and whispered, "My concubine's name is Yue'er."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, but did not remember the name in his heart, "Get up and serve tea."
"Yes." Hu Yue'er responded in a low voice. Being able to serve tea now was a great blessing for her. She had to perform well so that the emperor would remember her this time.
Eunuch Fu stood beside him with his head lowered. He couldn't understand what the emperor meant. Didn't this master hold the queen in the palm of his hand? At this moment, the concubine is here to serve tea. Judging from the posture, it seems that she wants to sleep with her. If it were different before, he would have made the arrangements wisely. Now he does not dare to make any more ideas, "Your Majesty, immediately It’s almost time for dinner, you see…”
Hu Yue'er listened silently, looking at the emperor's still indifferent and cold expression. She did not dare to expect that he would go to her palace to have a meal, although she really looked forward to it.
Mr. Fu was waiting for the emperor's instructions, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the end of his eyes. He looked up and saw the queen turning to leave. He was heartbroken. If he didn't remind the emperor now, he would probably come back later. I'll kick him to death.
He remembered that the emperor used to sneak into the Lu family and break into the queen's boudoir at night. The queen must be different in the emperor's mind, and it was impossible to change because of a little gossip.
"Your Majesty, the Queen seems to be over there." Eunuch Fu reminded in a low voice. He knew that he had offended Hu Wanbi by doing this, but so what? His loyalty is to the emperor, not to any woman in this palace.
When Mo Rongzhan heard this, he was startled. He looked up and saw Qian's figure disappearing by the bridge. He glanced at Eunuch Fu coldly, then got up and chased after her, so fast that he seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Eunuch Fu was so stunned that he hurriedly chased after him.
When Hu Wanbin knelt down to send her off, the emperor could no longer be seen.
Sure enough...
The queen's status in the emperor's mind is really different. Just a silhouette can draw away the emperor's soul.
Who is she? It's just a cup of tea. Even a palace maid can serve tea. Do you expect to get a high look from the emperor for this?
How ridiculous.
"Mother, it's getting dark." The palace maid behind her came to Hu Yuer's side at some unknown time. She couldn't stand it any longer, so she reminded her loudly.
Hu Yue'er blinked and realized that her legs were sore from standing. She held the palace maid's hand and walked slowly, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The palace maid Xiangqiao couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but comfort her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor will definitely miss you, otherwise why would he let you serve tea by his side? It's all the Queen... you still have a chance."
Xiangqiao wanted to say that it was the Queen's temperament and jealousy that prevented the Emperor from favoring others, but she did not dare to say it, and her life would be lost if she did.
Hu Yue'er showed a smile that was uglier than crying. She had been waiting for several years for her opportunity. How many more years could she wait for?
Queen Empress...Queen Empress...
It is really a big mountain that is weighing on their hearts. When can this big mountain be moved away?
