Chapter 406 Extra Welfare Chapter Deep Palace Empress & Beautiful Boy Musician (2)

"I don't know what kind of moth you are playing. Be a good person, and you must become neither human nor ghost, and be trapped in this deep palace." Yuan Yuan said, sighing with regret on his face, as if he didn't understand Xu Xing's behavior.

Xu Xing smiled lightly and did not respond.

He knew that Yuan Yuan was talking about himself.He said that he is not a human being, and a ghost is not a ghost, which means that he has become a eunuch.

"Hey. What's wrong with being a pleasing and unrestrained luthier, but you want to be humble. Everyone in this palace wants to go out, but you want to come in."

Yuan Yuan leaned over to clean up the teacups on the table, and walked out with the tea tray in hand.

She is going to clean the teacup, and then make some new tea for An Xi, which is An Xi's habit.

After drinking weak tea twice, I sit in a beauty chair every day in a daze.Thinking about going out, yearning to leave.

The huge palace, the people who trapped her, never trapped her heart.

...

When Xu Xing entered the room, An Xi was looking at her.The round fan embroidered with silk and silk in her hand.

There are a few clusters of peonies printed on it, which looks graceful and beautiful.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Xing approached with a smile.

Although he was reduced to a eunuch, he served An Xi on the surface, but in private, he was out of shape and didn't care about etiquette at all.When talking with An Xi, every time the tone is full of smiles, like an old friend for many years.

An Xi does not dislike this, and even likes it a little bit, because after staying in this deep palace for a long time, almost no one treats her like this.The others, who usually look trembling, are respectful when they see themselves.

In the past, she was called the imperial concubine, and now she is also called the empress dowager. She almost forgot her name in two years. It was Xu Xing who called her that day, and he suddenly realized that he almost forgot his name.

An Xi didn't reply to his words, but continued to stare at the fan with distracted eyes.

Xu Xing stepped forward and dodged it, looking at the fine silk cloth and the delicate and intricate embroidery.Although it is not vulgar, it is indeed not something extraordinary in this palace.

After all, food and clothing in the Sixth Courtyard of the Mansion Palace are all expensive, and a small round fan is nothing.

An Xi didn't want to return the fan either, and slowly got up with her skirt in front of the dressing table to do her makeup.Lightly dab the rouge on the red lips, the lip color is not alluring, but noble and glamorous.

At the right time, Yuan Yuan's voice came: "Your Majesty, all the concubines have arrived."

An Xi responded lightly.Although it is a headache to face the scene later, but I have to go.

After all, the new emperor ascended the throne, and these concubines, as the empress dowager, should meet.

"It's really troublesome." Although she didn't say it on the surface, she sighed in her heart.

The beautiful man in eunuch uniform smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, then you won't go."

"It's so impolite." The woman said lightly.Walk away with the hem of the skirt.

Xu Xing smiled and followed.

...

It seems that he is afraid of being watched and feels uncomfortable.Therefore, every time An Xi summoned the harem concubines, she would place a semi-transparent screen about three meters wide in front of the main seat.

She slowly approached from the side of the screen. His charming profile and exquisite figure inevitably aroused the jealousy of other women. Although he is in a high position, even so, even if other people don't say it on the surface, he is secretly in the dark Sarcastic.

"The empress dowager is blessed and safe."

Seeing her sitting down, all the women in the audience bowed down to salute.Immediately after Yu Guang was unconsciously attracted by the man wearing the eunuch's uniform, each blushed shyly, as if seeing the shy little daughter of his lover.

"I called you here today to talk about the promotion of the new emperor. The crown princess is the new queen, and the others are side concubines or concubines. All the promotions are handled by the new queen." The woman explained the day concisely. The meaning of the organization summoned.

Xu Xing couldn't help chuckling after hearing this.She was exquisite and thoughtful, which saved a lot of trouble.

Jin Feng will definitely cause women to gossip about their dissatisfaction behind their backs and flatter them on the surface.In this way, she was very happy to let others take the blame.

Following An Xi's words, the women saluted again: "Yes, Empress Dowager."

An Xi got up and was supported by Yuan Yuan into the inner palace.The concubines dispersed outside the venue, she stood in front of the window, staring at the gazebo in the distance in a daze.

"Why are you in a daze again?" When the man's voice sounded, An Xi only felt that someone was stroking her hair.

She knocked off Xu Xing's hand subconsciously, and deliberately took two steps aside.

"Don't touch Ai's house."

Xu Xing's eyes flashed a little disappointed, but he didn't touch her again.He just shrugged his shoulders pretending not to care, and smiled lightly: "Don't be in a daze anymore, if you feel bored, I'll play the piano and listen to you."

"I knew I shouldn't have believed you. You promised me that you would take me out, but you were idle all day long."

"I shouldn't have promised you." An Xi sighed.It seemed that he was regretting accepting Xu Xing as a eunuch.

Xu Xing smiled shamelessly, "I have paid a big price. Now that the Xu family has no descendants, don't you drive me away again and leave me alone."

"So what? You are the one willing to degrade yourself." The woman was not moved at all.

The man pretended to be disappointed and sighed, "Isn't this just to take you out?"

"If you want to go out, why do you do this? You are clearly..." An Xi hesitated to speak, a little coldness appeared on her icy face, "You clearly mean something wrong."

She was right.

He did have bad intentions.

So, not just to take her out.

"You think too much. I fell in love with your empress at first sight, and I am willing to go through fire and water for my empress, to save my empress from this deep palace of suffering."

The man in front of him, with affectionate eyes, whispered to the woman in a low voice.He took two steps closer and grabbed the woman's hand, covering his chest.

The sound of heartbeat kept coming.There seemed to be a tingling electric current at the fingertips, which made the woman feel a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand.Helplessly, the little hand was wrapped by the big hand, pressing tightly on the chest, unable to break free.

"Presumptuous! Let go of Aijia!" An Xi said coldly.

The man shook his head, and in a trance, An Xi felt his heart beating faster.

"My sincerity to the empress, the sun and the moon can learn from each other."

...

That night,

In front of the side garden, a man in a nightgown stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the perfect moonlight.Two strands of long hair were slightly gathered up with a ribbon and covered behind the ears, as if they were not stained with a thousand dust.

A black figure quietly appeared in the quiet night, and knelt on one knee two feet behind him: "Young master, the dark lines in each palace have been properly arranged."

The man responded lazily and lightly, raising his hand to push away the man in black.

But the man in black didn't leave, but was thinking about whether to ask something.

He opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking.

"What do you want to ask?" Xu Xing, who had already felt it for a long time, looked at the moon and asked with a smile.

"Why do you want to be in the Empress Dowager's Palace? The Empress Dowager has little contact with the new emperor on weekdays. If it is really for the great cause, she should go to the new concubine's palace." The man in black asked puzzled.After finishing speaking, he lowered his head abruptly, as if feeling a little rude.

Xu Xing turned around, did not respond, and did not order the man in black to get up.She just walked slowly to his side and reached out to pat him on the shoulder as she passed by.

"Too little experience in the world, do you really think that the new emperor doesn't have the slightest thought for her? Others are flattering and fighting for favor, but she is different. She has a clear mind and a pure purpose. It is best to use it."

When Xu Xing spoke, his tone was completely different from when he was by An Xi's side.Instead, it added a bit of coldness and hostility for no reason.

The man in black suddenly realized, "So that's the case, the subordinate was worrying too much. The subordinate thought you were treating that woman..." He hesitated to speak, feeling that it would be rude to continue.

But the people on one side seemed to have guessed what he meant, and the answer was more decisive than before:
"Oh, I still don't like her kind."

...

The day was a little hotter than yesterday.During the mid-summer period, the temperature keeps rising, and the palaces can only use ice cubes to cool off.

An Xi was sitting in front of the ice stove and playing chess when she suddenly heard the eunuch announce: "The emperor is here!"

She slowly got up from the blanket on the ground, and after arranging the pleated skirt briefly, she went out.

The emperor was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and he was extraordinarily handsome and majestic.It can be seen that when he saw An Xi, there was warmth in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"Queen." He knelt down respectfully and whispered.Docile like a cat, as if trying to please its master.

The hostess responded lightly, her face mostly perfunctory.

The emperor got up and said with a smile: "After listening to the mother, I will hand over the matter of Jin Feng to Dong'er."

"En." The woman picked up the teacup on the side, sipped it lightly, and responded lightly again.

"There will be a hunting banquet in two days before the succession to the throne. At that time, the queen mother will go with the other concubines."

"Still not. I'm a girl and I don't know how to shoot arrows." The woman shook her head lightly.

The straightforward refusal made the emperor feel uncomfortable.

"But all the concubines have to go together. I know that my mother doesn't like such an occasion, but... I'm going to be enthroned soon, so don't lose my manners." The man pretended to be helpless, but the implication was mostly threats.The idea of ​​using etiquette to kidnap people around you. .

"Okay then." An Xi agreed reluctantly.

At the right time, the voice of the eunuch reminding the emperor sounded: "Your Majesty, I have to go to the study to see the prime minister later."

"The minister there will take his leave first." The emperor stood up, saluted briefly, and left.

An Xi just remembered something and looked at Yuan Yuan: "Where's Xu Xing?"

Yuan Yuan suddenly thought of something like that, scratched his hair in embarrassment, and looked cute: "Oh, I forgot to report to the empress. Xiao Xuzi said that he is not feeling well today, so he won't come to serve."

An Xi didn't speak anymore.

But I didn't see Xu Xing's figure until the evening, and I always felt bad in my heart.While eating, she was in a daze again.Looking at the food in the bowl, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

Yuan Yuan immediately squatted down to pick up the chopsticks: "Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the woman who was eating just now stood up suddenly.

"Go and see him," said the woman.

"Ah?" Yuan Yuan was a little confused, "Look at who."

"Xu Xing." The woman said the name without any concealment.

Yuan Yuan looked at her in disbelief, with a look of surprise on his face.You know, the empress has never cared about a single person.

The woman seemed to feel that the maid beside her had misunderstood something, and said coldly: "He said he would take Aijia out, but Aijia was just afraid that he would run away."

...

In the quaint and gorgeous room, a man is talking to a man in black.While talking, he heard a voice, quickly silenced, and signaled the man in black to leave.

The black man climbed over the wall and walked away.

The moment An Xi entered the room, she saw the sick beauty lying on the bed.

Because the room is too small, there is only a bed, a wardrobe, a tea table, nothing else, and the decoration is simple.

Seeing her coming, Xu Xing pretended to be weak and sick, and slowly got up from the bed, covered his face with his fists and coughed softly, and smiled weakly: "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid you won't keep your word and run away." The woman looked at his weak appearance, and there seemed to be some concern in her cold eyes, but she didn't dare to show it easily, she could only speak hard.

"Cough...cough cough, thank you for your concern."

"Oh, why are you so serious. I'll go find the imperial physician for you." Yuan Yuan was about to leave as he said that, but Xu Xing suddenly stopped him when he approached the door: "Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Yuan Yuan looked back, and was stunned in embarrassment, not daring to move.

Xu Xing smiled, "Don't bother. I've already had someone look at it, and I've taken the medicine."

If the imperial physician is sent, wouldn't he be in trouble?This is absolutely impossible.

"Oh...that's good." Yunyun nodded hurriedly.Then he realized something, ran to An Xi's side in embarrassment, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Thank you, Miss Yuanyuan, for your concern." The man thanked him with a weak smile, bowed his head and coughed twice.

"No...you're welcome." Yuan Yuan blushed.

"You have a good rest, Ai's family will leave first." An Xi who was on the side said indifferently, and then left.

Xu Xing nodded slightly as a sign of courtesy.Looking at the closed door, his eyes were gloomy, with an indescribable complexity.

...

Two days later, the hunting feast.

As the name suggests, the hunt is held in midsummer every year, and the courtiers and ministers hunt in the royal garden.The female relatives rested at the foothold of the camp, waiting for the men to come back from hunting.

When the emperor led the crowd into the garden to hunt, An Xi squinted her eyes and sat on the main seat of the tent in a daze.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yuan Yuan came to report: "The empress dowager, the Yun family and other concubines have invited you to pick mushrooms outside."

"No." The woman directly refused.

"Ah? You're here. Picking mushrooms is a hunting custom. It's not good if you don't go." Yuan Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Picking mushrooms is a custom of hunting feasts.When the men are hunting, the female relatives go outside to pick mushrooms.The implication is that the monarch will last forever.

An Xi got up a little bored, and walked out without saying a word.

Yuan Yuan knew that she agreed, although she was a little unhappy on the surface.

Yuan Yuan took the exquisite bamboo basket and ran to catch up with her: "Queen Mother, wait for your servant!"

...

Mushroom picking is carried out on the periphery.Because the men in the inner circle are hunting, and there are many tigers and beasts, it is rare for a woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken to go in without being injured.

An Xi held a small hoe and dragged a long and luxurious dress to search for it in the forest.After looking for a long time, I didn't find any mushrooms.There are traces of being picked beside the tree.

"Oh, it looks like they've all been illuminated." Yuan Yuan sighed.

An Xi didn't want to return empty-handed either, so she carried a basket and ordered, "Let's go separately, and go back in half an hour."

"But ma'am, you are alone..." Yuan Yuan was worried about her.

The woman shook her head, indicating that she was fine: "On the periphery, nothing will happen."
