Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 75 I Like You to Stay Away From Me!

Because Xue Xiaoge had a close relationship with Ji Zhaoyuan, the Chouhua Pavilion she lived in when she entered the palace was next to the main hall of Surong Palace, and she did not change to a higher-standard place after she was promoted to the throne. As its name suggests, the Chouhua Pavilion is filled with all kinds of ever-blooming flowers inside and out, with lush branches and leaves, completely shading the small building.

If you hadn't walked nearby, you probably wouldn't have been able to see the buildings inside.

"I have met Sister Yun Bin." Xue Xiaoge received the news and greeted Yun Fenghuang at the door. She has a beautiful appearance, the kind of beauty with a bit of coquettishness, and is very aggressive. She doesn't seem to be easy to get close to, but her attitude is very good. It was polite, "I just heard that my sister is here, so I wanted to say hello. I was just afraid of disturbing my sister when she was talking to sister Zhaoyuan, but I didn't expect that now I would trouble my sister to come here in person."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and helped her up: "In the words of Empress Zhaoyuan, we are all serving His Majesty. We are of the same age, why do we need to see others like this?"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Xue Xiaoge invited her to come in and sit down.

Yun Fenghuang didn't sit there for long. He only talked about some unimportant topics with Xue Ronghua. Seeing that it was almost time, he left.

This visit did not arouse any vigilance in the Surong Palace. After all, just like Wei Hengyan and Yun Fenghuang were the only ones to receive congratulations from the Sixth Palace yesterday, in a harem where imperial power is not flourishing and family background is of paramount importance, it is a matter of level. treatment.

Both Ji Zhaoyuan and Xue Xiaoge thought it was natural that Yun Fenghuang personally thanked Surong Palace for the three places.

This move even gained their slight favor.

Little did he know that Yun Fenghuang started counting the days on his way back to Huzhu Palace, and when he had the opportunity, he pushed the effect of the anti-pregnant medicine to the top cylinder of Surong Palace.

"Concubine Yun, Your Majesty Princess Jinyun just sent you a box of cakes." After returning to Huzhu Palace and entering Ziquan Palace, Chen Zhu came up to report, "The visitor also said that Your Majesty will practice riding and shooting with the guards today. , it’s hard work even if you think about it.”

"I know, let's go ahead and ask around. If Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui is here, I will join in the fun." Yun Fenghuang nodded and asked the waiter to change his clothes and make up, and then asked, "Where is the main hall today? Do you have any orders?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhu lowered his voice slightly and said: "I went out in the morning and asked the Sasao Palace servants in several places near Ningbi Palace. They said that Empress Jieyu got very angry last night... and the commotion was quite loud. Later. His Majesty passed by, and it took a long time before he calmed down. When His Majesty left this morning, there was no smile on his face at all!"

Xijing, who was standing by, guessed: "Could it be that the one who kept quiet late at night annoyed His Majesty?"

Yun Fenghuang gestured in front of the mirror with a red gold walking stick, and said: "If your majesty is really angry, what are you going to do at night? I think she is worried. Our empress Jieyu has already been I don’t have an heir, and it’s so difficult to get pregnant right now, and I don’t know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future?”

"My maid, when you look at that guy, he doesn't look like someone with deep blessings." "

This palace maid must be Empress Ji's die-hard loyalist, and she has nothing nice to say to Yuan Niang in her words.

Yun Fenghuang smiled and did not continue the topic. He put his steps firmly into the bun of his hair, stood up and said, "Bring me the lilac palace dress and let me have a look."

After finishing her tidying up, Chen Peng, who had been sent by Chen Zhu to inquire, also came back, explaining that Princess Hui had arrived at the Taichu Palace a stick of incense and was currently watching Emperor Chunjia and her companions reading and shooting.

"Then let's go too." Yun Fenghuang rolled up his shawl and chuckled, "We're late, they've dispersed, but we can't see the excitement anymore."

Although they set off immediately, by the time they arrived at Taichu Palace, the shooting had already ended.

Fortunately, the group of people hadn't dispersed yet, and they were all invited by Emperor Chunjia to have tea and snacks in the side hall.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang coming in, they all put down the refreshments in their hands, turned sideways and lowered their heads to show avoidance.

"Why are you here, Concubine Yun?" Emperor Chunjia always "favored" Yun Fenghuang in front of others. At this moment, he smiled and waved her to sit next to him, "I also said I would see you later."

Yun Fenghuang held a round fan in his hand, shook it calmly, and said: "I just came back to Ziquan Palace and thought it was not interesting. I heard that your majesty's place is lively, and I am afraid of being left alone. Why don't you come over here to cause trouble?" "

Turning his eyes, he saw Princess Minghui sitting under Emperor Chunjia. Princess Jinyun was also accompanying her. The youngest Princess Penglai was not there, so she stepped forward to greet her and Yanran said, "Your Highnesses are also here?"

Princess Minghui was a little absent-minded. After hearing this, she raised her head and smiled at her, then lowered her head thoughtfully.

Jinyun didn't say anything when he saw this, but deliberately glanced diagonally across from her... The person sitting diagonally across from her was Ji Minggan.

Yun Fenghuang lightly flapped his fan, glanced at it carelessly, and almost dropped the fan in his hand!

I heard Princess Jinyun say before that the six companions of Emperor Chunjia did not gather in front of the emperor all the time, but arranged in shifts. Of course, the emperor has not yet been personally in charge of the government. Apart from hanging around the harem, reading and practicing calligraphy are boring. It is understandable that he occasionally calls over his off-duty reading companion to keep him company.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang was not surprised that Ji Minggan was sitting at the head of Gong Xiangxiao.

The issue is……

The scholar in green shirt standing behind Gong Xiangxiao, why is it Qi Jiulu? !

"Try this." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts were racing. At this time, Emperor Chunjia pushed a plate of cakes in front of her and said with a smile, "Last time, didn't you specifically ask Jinyun for the lotus cake from your mother's harem? This lotus pod The cake is made by the same cook. If you like it, I will go back and tell my mother, so that the cook can send it to you every time."

If Qi Jiulu was not here, Yun Fenghuang would just accept it.

But now, even though her ex-fiancé bowed his head and lowered his eyes according to the rules, avoiding looking directly at the emperor's concubines, he was still standing not far away... Her smile suddenly became a little forced, and she pushed the plate of lotus cake back toward the emperor. : "Thank you, Your Majesty. In fact, I was just joking with His Highness last time. Why am I so greedy?"

Emperor Chunjia said indifferently: "Don't you like it? It's okay. If you like anything, just tell me."

...I like you to stay away from me now and shut up, okay?

Yun Fenghuang just felt on pins and needles and regretted not asking more questions before coming. Just as he was thinking about finding a reason to retreat quickly, Princess Pian Jinyun interjected: "Brother Huang will be partial to Yun Concubine. My eldest sister and I will sit here for a long time. , I don’t see the emperor bringing down a plate of cakes?”

"These pastries are made by the cooks in my mother's harem. If you two want to eat them, it is more convenient for me. Why do you want to give them up?" The emperor did not raise his head, and carried out "I am partial, so what?" Turning to Yun Fenghuang, she immediately smiled like a spring breeze, "Yun Bin, don't pay attention to Jinyun's words, she has the temper of a child."

Jinyun made a face at them: "Look, concubine Yun, am I just saying that the emperor is partial?"

Yun Fenghuang was not in the mood to joke with them at the moment, so he changed the subject with a forced smile: "I heard people talking inside just before I came in. What were they talking about? Don't ask me to disturb everyone's interest."

"We are talking about summer vacation." Princess Minghui looked at Ji Minggan from the corner of her eye and suddenly said, "The palace is built in the mountains. It is cool and cool, but the terrain is undulating and winding, not as flat as the palace. Concubine Yun is gone You have to be careful when going out at night. A few years ago, I was playing hide-and-seek with my sisters, and I fell off the cliff without paying attention. Fortunately, my cousin found me and rescued me."

A blush rose on her snow-white and delicate cheeks, and she said shyly, "Speaking of which, I was really sorry for my cousin that time."

However, Ji Minggan didn't even think about it when he heard this: "You still have the nerve to say it! The place where you fell off the cliff was originally blocked by a net, just to prevent you from falling and bumping into each other while playing. In the end, even the three-layer net couldn't catch you. , it’s a good thing that the cliff is not high, otherwise Jinyun and Penglai would be affected by the careless palace servants... Oops!"

He was speaking vigorously when suddenly his arm was pinched hard and he screamed subconsciously. He was about to get angry when he saw Gong Xiangxiao, who was above him, retracting his hand as if nothing had happened and calmly picking up the steaming tea.

Ji Minggan turned the question around before finally swallowing it.

After all, looking at the way Gong Xiangxiao was holding the tea but not drinking it, it seemed like he would smash the tea bowl in his face if he dared to continue talking nonsense...

Although she was stopped by the Prince Regent, Princess Minghui's face was full of embarrassment, her lips were pursed tightly, and her eyes were filled with tears. It was because there were so many people in the palace at the moment that she might have burst into tears.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and finally Emperor Chunjia spoke: "I have seen that kind of net. It was put up outside in the wind, sun and rain, and it became dilapidated in a few days. Even if it was blocked for three floors, there would be no food. Is it as strong as a person? Let alone falling from a cliff, the momentum is greater than the weight."

He ordered the people in charge of the palace repairs to be more careful and set up more barriers where they needed to be blocked. After all, "among the concubines accompanying me this year, there are not a few like Concubine Ruyun who have never been to the palace. Don't Something went wrong.”

Princess Jinyun took the opportunity to sprinkle some pastry crumbs on Princess Minghui's skirt, and on the pretext of accompanying her to change clothes, she pulled her sister out who was already a little unable to bear it.

The two princesses had just reached the back when they heard a suppressed whimper.

Yun Fenghuang was worried that he couldn't find a reason to leave. Hearing this, he hurriedly whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't I come and take a look?"

Emperor Chunjia chuckled: "You Jinyun is here. She grew up with Minghui and knows how to coax Minghui."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang's miserable expression, he changed the topic and said, "But Yun Bin is not worried, so just go and have a look. Don't you think Ziquan Palace is stuffy, and you want to come here to liven it up? Come back after seeing her, I I’ll take you to a fun place later.”

Thank you for your kindness! Can you thank you for eight lifetimes? !

Yun Fenghuang cursed in his heart, but Quan Dang didn't hear what was said behind him. He said to himself that I won't come back until I leave, and he will use some uncomfortable excuse to go back to the harem later!

She hid her thoughts and stood up: "I'm leaving."

As he turned to leave, he glanced at Qi Jiulu, but the man happened to raise his head. The two looked at each other briefly, and quickly looked away - not to mention what Qi Jiulu was feeling, Yun Fenghuang felt sad for no reason.

She was very firm when she refused to elope with this man on Peacock Slope. In the past three years, she only occasionally imagined what kind of life she would live if she agreed to him at that time when she was weak.

But most of the time I think she did nothing wrong.

That's why I met Qi Jiulu in private these two times and tried every means to persuade him to cut off the past.

She thought she had let it go first.

But at this moment, she was accompanying him as the emperor's beloved concubine, and Qi Jiulu was accompanying him as the regent of the prince. The distance seemed to be within reach, but it was like a natural chasm between them... The feeling of being raped in Yun Fenghuang's heart The feeling of loss that had been suppressed and buried finally burst out completely.

She simply turned her back to everyone in the hall at this moment. She closed her eyes to suppress her turbulent emotions, and was about to walk out immediately. At this time, Ji Minggan's companion suddenly let out a soft sigh and said, neither high nor low: "Your Majesty, this gentleman you brought into the palace is so rude, how could he spy on the emperor's concubine?"
