Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 488

"Mother and Concubine is so late, where are you going?" Dugu Xiaomeng was concerned.

"I want to visit Xuande Hall." Concubine Xuan hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to intercede with the emperor for Concubine Jin.

"Mother and concubine, there is something fun to do today, I wonder if you have heard of it." Dugu Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"About Concubine Jing?" Xuan Guifei could see through Dugu Xiaomeng's thoughts at a glance.

"What I want to say, I can't hide it from you, Concubine Mother. It is indeed Concubine Jing. This is the first time that I have seen her go crazy, so I insisted on jumping down from the pavilion."

Dugu Xiaomeng was very worried about Concubine Jing and Shen Yixuan at the time, but after thinking about it afterwards, she found it funny that the most favored concubine in the harem was actually a lunatic, and she was always talking crazy nonsense.

"Why is she climbing on the pavilion so well?" Concubine Xuan was really puzzled by Concubine Jing's words and deeds, and always felt that she was pretending to be crazy.

"It's for the sake of catching pigeons, hehe~" Dugu Xiaomeng couldn't help laughing,

"Shen Yixuan has suffered a lot because of her mother and concubine recently, right?" Xuan Guifei probed.

"My son doesn't know much about it, but he and his wife happened to meet in Yuming Garden and saw a good show." Dugu Xiaomeng knew that Concubine Xuan didn't like Shen Yi, so she didn't want her to think that she and Shen Yi were together. Get very close.

"As a mother, Concubine Jing did not do good deeds for her daughter, otherwise she would not have ended up like this." Concubine Xuan couldn't understand Concubine Jing's arrogance, and she kept giving in to her.

"What the concubine mother is talking about is that the servants have heard that the concubine Jing was pampered and often made troubles in the harem. It is you, the concubine mother..." Before Dugu Xiaomeng had time to say the words of flattering Concubine Xuan Gui interrupted.

"It's all in the past. Many rumors have been going on for many years. Now it sounds either exaggerated or distorted. Xiaomeng, don't take it too seriously." Xuan Guifei doesn't want Dugu Xiaomeng to know the past grievances, and one must cherish the present in life Just look to the future.

"My son and minister would like to follow the teachings of my mother and concubine." Dugu Xiaomeng didn't dare to say any more.

"Yu'er is still waiting for you in the palace, go back early." Concubine Xuan Gui patted Dugu Xiaomeng's shoulder to comfort her.

"The prince hasn't come back all afternoon, and I don't know where he went." Dugu Xiaomeng pretended to be pitiful just to win the sympathy of the people in front of him.

"Oh? This Yu'er may go somewhere to secretly listen to the show again, Xiao Luzi, you take two palace servants to look for the prince now, be careful, don't make a fuss." Immediately sent someone to look for the prince.

"Thank you, mother concubine, my son will take you to Xuande hall!" Dugu Xiaomeng took the soup cup from Xiao Luzi while currying favor with Concubine Xuan.

"Well... that's fine! Xiaomeng has a heart." Concubine Xuan took Dugu Xiaomeng's arm, and her eyes were not very good at night. From Yongyan Hall to Xuande Hall, she had to pass through the Qingliang Terrace. There are more stone steps over there, and it is not safe to be next to the water.

Accompanied by Dugu Xiaomeng, Concubine Xuan came to Xuande Hall, and before entering, she heard a woman crying at the door.

"Xiaomeng, you should go back to Yongyan Palace first, maybe the crown prince has already gone back." Xuan Guifei didn't want Dugu Xiaomeng to see the embarrassment of the emperor.

"It's okay, my son is waiting for you here, don't be in a hurry." Dugu Xiaomeng was afraid that Concubine Xuan would be too lonely to go back alone, so she just wanted to court her courteously.

"No need, your royal father will be angry if you see your outfit." Concubine Xuan said while tugging at Dugu Xiaomeng's sleeves. satin.

"Then... Erchen will leave first." Dugu Xiaomeng carefully handed the soup cup to Concubine Xuan.

"Xiao Meng has worked hard, see you~" Xuan Guifei took the soup cup and entered the hall thoughtfully.

"My lord~ my lord~ I beg you, my concubine has never begged you for anything in so many years, please show me your favor this time, and fulfill my concubine's wish to be a mother and concubine!!!"

The wailing sounded like cicadas in Shen Yixiang's ears, disturbing him, but it filled the heart of Concubine Xuan Gui, who came in secretly, with sadness.

"Your Majesty, if you want Concubine Zhuang to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha for the royal family on weekdays, please fulfill her!" Concubine Xuan Gui put down the soup cup and immediately came to help Concubine Zhuang who was lying on the ground.

"Do you know what she's going to do?" Shen Yixiang asked, pointing at Concubine Xuan.

"The concubine doesn't know..." Although Concubine Xuan guessed that Concubine Zhuang was making trouble because of Shen Yixi, she didn't dare to speak out.

"You dare to persuade me without knowing it? Could it be that you encouraged her to mess with me?" Shen Yixiang was full of anger, and was looking for an outlet to vent.

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just understands that Concubine Zhuang is not easy as a concubine mother." Concubine Xuan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Concubine Zhuang, while timidly responding to the emperor's question.

"It's not easy being a mother and concubine. Is it very difficult to be a mother and concubine in my harem? Is it because I scolded you?" Shen Yixiang's low growl scared the concubine Jing who was hiding aside and began to cry Weep loudly.

"Your Majesty, my concubines dare not~" Concubine Xuan Gui and Concubine Zhuang said in unison.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's my fault, I won't scare you anymore, be good!" Shen Yixiang hugged Concubine Jing into his arms to comfort him, and didn't care about the two kneeling at his feet. Will the concubine be jealous or not?

"Your majesty, calm down and drink some soothing soup. The concubine has stayed up all afternoon for you." Concubine Xuan knew that if she spoke for Concubine Jin at this moment, it would only make the emperor even more angry.

"According to my opinion, you all need soothing soup more, take it away~" Shen Yixiang waved his hand, and Concubine Xuan took advantage of her strength to fall to the ground, and the soup splashed all over Concubine Zhuang's face.

"Your Majesty, woo woo woo~" Concubine Zhuang cried even harder.

"Sister Zhuang Concubine, sister didn't do it on purpose." Concubine Xuan said while helping Concubine Zhuang wipe off the soup stains on her cheeks with her sleeve, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Concubine Zhuang's piousness, don't be angry with her." Now, my sister has something to tell the emperor well, what's the use of crying?"

"Okay, it's all my fault, you shouldn't be so excited, you all back down." Seeing Concubine Zhuang being soaked in soup, the emperor also felt a little distressed.

"Your Majesty...you can fulfill my concubine...even if you only take a look at Xen'er...it can be regarded as fulfilling my concubine's wish!" Concubine Zhuang cried out of breath.

"If I had known today, why bother? You forced Xen'er out of the palace at a very young age. At that time, I felt sorry for him. What did you say? You said that a man should be independent early. You have shown little love for him for so many years. You didn’t want to see him when you were in the imperial capital, but now because I sent him to make peace with Jin Ge, why are you crying again? Are you trying to get angry with me? Do you have to sing the opposite of me?”

Shen Yixiang was very puzzled by Concubine Zhuang's words and deeds, which were mixed with too many contradictions and doubts.

In the heart of the emperor's house, tolerance is kindness; concubines in the six palaces regard being favored as self-sufficiency.
