Chapter 947: Legs Weakened
The emperor read the memorial until the hour of Xu (eight o'clock in the evening), and felt like a cat's claws were scratching his heart.
He threw the memorial away, stood up and walked out.
He walked out of the door, got on the sedan chair, and went straight to Changchun Palace where Zhang Jieyu lived.
The eunuch in front had already run over to report, and Zhang Jieyu was supported by the palace maids and waiting at the door.
As soon as the emperor got off the sedan chair, Zhang Jieyu slowly bowed, and somehow, as if she didn't stand firmly, she fell to the side.
The emperor was quick-witted and embraced Zhang Jieyu, and chuckled in her ear, "Why, Jiaojiao, your legs are weak when you see me?"
Zhang Jieyu shyly pushed him away, "Your Majesty~ I'm not, I have an injury on my leg."
The emperor then discovered that one of Zhang Jieyu's hands was wrapped like a zongzi.
He picked up Concubine Zhang and brought her into the inner room. He put her down at the table and looked at her hands first. He then lifted her skirt to check her legs and pulled up her silk shirt. He saw a large purple patch on one knee, which was particularly glaring on her fair skin.
This looked like a serious injury, and the emperor was distressed. "Have you asked the imperial physician to see it?"
"How did she get hurt?"
Concubine Zhang smiled softly, "I was careless when I walked and fell."
The maid next to her couldn't help but say, "No, it was Concubine Rong who deliberately knocked Concubine Zhang down."
"Huh?" The emperor looked up at the maid, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
The maid said quickly, "This morning, I went to pay my respects to Concubine Zhang and the Queen Mother. The front of Kunning Palace is so wide, and Concubine Rong suddenly bumped into Concubine Zhang from behind and knocked Concubine Zhang to the ground. Concubine Zhang was injured, and the bracelet that the emperor had just given her was also broken. "
"The queen was crying at the bracelet just now, saying that she wanted to find something to stick it together."
Zhang Jieyu's eyes were red, and she scolded, "Stop talking nonsense, it's my own carelessness, it has nothing to do with Concubine Rong."
She touched the broken bracelet with her hands, her eyes full of heartache and reluctance.
The emperor frowned, "This Concubine Rong is too--"
He didn't continue. Concubine Rong was plain-looking, and he was not interested in her. However, her father, Marquis Jingrong, was someone he relied on, so he had to give Concubine Rong some face.
He turned to coax Zhang Jieyu, "It's a broken bracelet, just throw it away if it's broken. I'll send you a good one tomorrow, don't cry."
Zhang Jieyu's eyes were red, "I'm not distressed about this bracelet. It was given to me by the emperor. It's a token of his love for me. I didn't keep it well, and I feel very guilty. "
The emperor simply held her in his arms and coaxed her, "Jiaojiao, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
The maids bowed their heads and retreated, closing the door.
The emperor carried her to the bed, "Come, I'll check you carefully to see if you are injured anywhere."
Zhang Jieyu was very shy, and was half-reluctantly carried to the bed by the emperor.
Under the light, Zhang Jieyu's skin was like a snowball. The emperor reached out and touched it, muttering: "It's really soft and warm, just peeled chicken head meat, smooth and condensed with pastry."
"Jiaojiao is really a beauty in the world. "
Needless to say, the two of them made love again.
The Great Qi Dynasty held a morning court every three days, and did not have to go to court every other day. In the morning, the emperor and Concubine Zhang made a scene again before getting up and returning to the palace.
Soon, new rewards arrived at Concubine Zhang's Changchun Palace.
Not only was there a similar jade bracelet, but also a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, as well as phoenix hairpins, cloud brocade, and Shu brocade.
