Chapter 37 Meeting Ceremony

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Concubine Liu Gui sat on the soft sedan chair and passed by Shen Anran.I saw her standing there blankly, not moving, not knowing what she was thinking.

"The concubine sees the imperial concubine." Shen Anran saluted with a smile, and quickly retreated to the side.

However, Concubine Liu Gui seemed to be in a bit of a good mood today, she waved her hand to make people stop, "Shen Anran, don't you want to please the empress? Now that her good sister has entered the palace, I'm afraid I won't have your share in the future."

Concubine Liu Gui is not stupid either, except for matters related to the emperor who are somewhat romantic, she also sees other things clearly.

She looked down on Shen Anran, but it wasn't an annoyance.At least, this woman has no ambitions for the emperor, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

It's not like this Dong Linglong, who said she came from a noble family, but she acted like a foxy girl in every move, she gasped for two of the three sentences she said, she was more pretending than the queen!
Shen Anran did not expect Concubine Liu Gui to be so unscrupulous in her words, now both of them are helping the queen to assist the Six Palaces, no matter what, they can be regarded as half colleagues.

So, she kindly reminded, "Your Majesty, this is probably not the place to talk."

Concubine Liu Gui looked at her inexplicably, very puzzled, "You still need to find a special place for something?"

She rolled her eyes upwards, and the whites of her eyes almost flew out.Obviously, she dismissed Shen Anran's words.

Shen Anran bowed and said with a smile: "The concubine still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

It was unnecessary for her to play the piano to the cow.Concubine Liu Gui has the capital to go crazy, but she doesn't.In the future, this palace might not be peaceful anymore, all she can do is to take care of herself.

Concubine Liu Gui looked at her receding back and fiddled with her nails, feeling a little discouraged suddenly.After a long pause, he said, "Forget it, let's go back to the palace."

The old man dies and no one hears about it, and the new man enters the palace with joy.

In Qinglian Hall, Dong Linglong was sitting in front of the mirror, while the nuns in the palace were explaining to her the rules of serving her bed one by one.As long as tonight is over, she will be the legitimate Dong Zhaoyi.

From then on, she has a place in this palace!
While Dong Linglong was earnestly learning the rules, Changle Palace became busy.Xin Yi led the way outside, and said sharply: "The empress has fainted, why are you still standing there? Go get the imperial physician!"

From the inner hall to the outer hall, the voices of the maids became louder and louder, spreading out like waves. After a while, people from the Tai Hospital came.

And the entire harem also knew—the empress had fainted!

"What's going on here? Didn't you recover before? Why did you suddenly faint again?" Li Ying was teasing tigers in the Garden of Beasts when he received the news.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, and ran over without a trace of the tiger's fur, which he could almost touch.

At this time, Cao An didn't dare to talk to him.Cleverly running ahead, he dismissed all those who stood outside, allowing Li Ying to reach the Changle Palace unimpeded.

"The Emperor is here!"

Without waiting for everyone to salute, Li Ying rushed in, and Xin Yi almost bumped into him with the water basin, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.But Li Ying turned a blind eye to her and walked directly inside.

"Sister, how are you doing?"

He was rampant, like a lost child, looking for a harbor to rely on.And in the next second, he saw Gangwan leaning weakly on the bed, covering his mouth and coughing violently.

And when the handkerchief covering his face was taken away, it was still stained with blood!

"Sister!" Li Ying burst into tears, squatting directly beside the bed, pointing at the bloody handkerchief tremblingly, "Sister, you, are you alright?"

Being too close, Zhou Zijin was afraid that the handkerchief stained with rouge would be seen, so he forced a smile and handed the handkerchief to Xin Yi, "Sister is fine, don't be afraid."

The dazzling red seemed to have pierced Li Ying's sky, and he stared and said, "Sister, you are vomiting blood! Is it okay?"

He turned his head excitedly, but he didn't see the imperial doctor, "Where are the people in the imperial hospital? Those trash, where are you hiding for me!"

Zhou Zijin hurriedly grabbed him and told everyone else to go down, and then said weakly: "Your Majesty, please sit down first, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to speak."

As soon as these words came out, Li Ying, who was still clamoring and jumping to find the imperial doctor to behead his head, became quiet in an instant like a big dog.

He squatted obediently by the bed, put both hands on Zhou Zijin's, felt the cold temperature, and felt even colder in his heart.

Zhou Zijin smiled and patted his hand, "Don't be afraid, it's just an old problem, and you don't know it? You make such a big commotion, others really think that something is wrong with me."

Li Ying looked at her aggrievedly, "Sister, I'm worried about you."

Zhou Zijin's heart aches for his younger brother who he grew up watching.However, for her big plan, Li Ying had no choice but to wrong Li Ying and play with her for a while.

Zhou Zijin wanted to lie back, Li Ying hurriedly put the bed next to her on it, then poured a glass of warm water on the table next to her,
"Sister, drink water."

The queen mother said that sister's disease was brought out of the mother's womb. It is fine on weekdays, but it is easy to fall ill in the cold winter months.

Although the weather has been getting warmer these few days, it rained yesterday, which may have caused my sister to catch the cold.It is said that the disease is even more tormenting at night, every time when the disease occurs, the queen mother stays with sister all night, so that she will not pass out and no one will notice.

"Sister, I will stay here with you tonight." Li Ying thought very simply, as long as he stayed up all night, he would be able to pay attention to Sister's situation at any time.

Those court ladies and eunuchs are few capable, so he can't rest assured!

Zhou Zijin's eyes brightened slightly, but his face was hesitant, hesitantly said: "Dong Zhaoyi enters the palace today, if the emperor stays with me, it may not be appropriate."

But Li Ying didn't care, "Dong Zhaoyi is my sister's good sister, she must be able to understand. Maybe, if she knows about this, she might be as anxious as me."

【She is indeed anxious, but it's not because of me. 】

Zhou Zijin covered her mouth and coughed a few times in a decent manner, with slight tears overflowing from her eyes, "Yes, Linglong is my good sister, she will definitely understand."

She raised her head, her pale face made her weaker and weaker, but she still managed to force a smile, "Then there will be the emperor."

That night, the news that the queen fainted and the emperor took care of her personally spread throughout the harem.But Dong Zhaoyi, who was supposed to attend the bed, was wrapped in a quilt and stayed alone in Qinglian Hall.

It was the first time in history that the concubine who was consecrated entered the palace but did not attend her bed.

The lights in Changle Palace had already been turned off, and Li Ying, who had promised to stay up all night, was now hugging the quilt carelessly, lying on the low bed next to him, sound asleep.

Zhou Zijin looked at him tenderly, but the coldness in his heart was like ripples, constantly rising and falling—my good sister, are you satisfied with this meeting gift?
