Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 109

The May Palace was very busy, even the Ministry of Rituals was busy preparing for Empress Shen's birthday, and even the Dragon Boat Festival passed in a hurry.

It is said that wearing colorful long-lived threads on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival can drive away evil spirits and ensure safety. There has always been a custom of weaving long-lived threads in the palace.

Tang Tianxiao was afraid Qianmei didn't know, so he specially chose four exquisite ones and sent someone to give them to her early in the morning.When I went to look at it at night, it was hung on the waists of her four personal maids.

When Tang Tianxiao asked, she just patted her waist and said, "I only hang this. My clothes are already colorful, and it doesn't look good with those colorful ones."

When Tang Tianxiao looked down, she saw the same moon-white purse tied around her waist, with branches, lovebirds, and a sympathetic knot between the two of them. She was immediately relieved, and she really felt that it would not look good to match those colorful strands, so she no longer No matter, he embraced her and fell asleep.

But Qianmei knew that he was a lazy emperor, and usually he didn't often go to the previous court to be a council member, but recently he came and went in a hurry. This night, the beauty was in her arms, and she only sniffed her hair, as if she was satisfied, yawned and closed her eyes Eyes, looking quite tired.

She wondered and asked, "Tianxiao, has something serious happened in the court? It looks like you work hard every day."

"A big deal? How can there be any big deal? It's just the birthday of my mother, the Empress of the Central Palace, and there are some things that need to be explained."

Tang Tianxiao didn't even open his eyes, he stroked her cheek and said, "What? You know you love me?"

But when Qian Mei heard that she was worrying about Empress Shen, she immediately threw him into his arms and spat: "Who loves you? You deserve it for being exhausted!"

Only then did Tang Tianxiao open his eyes, and tsk-tsk said: "It's strange that people say you are a traitor concubine, look at your appearance of being spoiled and arrogant, any emperor should chop off your little head to serve wine! "

But Qian Mei knew that he was informal in private, and never listened to those gossips, so she still turned her back to him, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Tang Tianxiao rubbed her shoulders, and said lightly: "I have my own reasons for doing this. ——This harem is too noisy, and it should be calm."

Ke Qianmei was startled.

She wondered if Tang Tianxiao was talking about her making trouble, but the tone didn't sound like it.

But all the concubines in the harem, except for her arrogance, are all very gentle and virtuous.

——Even though Empress Shen was arrogant and vicious, she had murdered several concubines openly and secretly, and even forced two court ladies who were better born to throw themselves into the well, she was still the "virtuous empress" in the mouth of Emperor Zhou and the Empress Dowager.

If it wasn't for Tang Tianxiao's wholehearted protection, even Ke Qianmei would have almost died unjustly in prison.

She turned around and asked him tentatively, "What is peace in the harem?"

Tang Tianxiao's black eyes were clear and peaceful, and he stared at her quietly for a moment, with a soft smile on his lips that seemed to melt away, and said softly: "No one in the harem obstructs your eyes, and no one prevents you from being with me. If you stay together for a lifetime, you will be at peace."

She still didn't quite understand, but her heartbeat seemed to miss a beat. She looked up at his handsome and peaceful face, and said with a smile, "I'm living a very happy life now."

Tang Tianxiao didn't speak, but hugged her even tighter.

For a long time, when she thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly whispered: "On the twenty-eighth day, Empress Shen's birthday, you also prepare a gift, go over there to congratulate yourself!"

But Qianmei's back stiffened, she snorted, and said, "I won't go."

Empress Shen is the empress of the main palace. According to the etiquette in the palace, on her birthday, all the concubines have to wear big makeup according to their ranks to congratulate her.

But Qian Mei is from a foreign race, and Tang Tianxiao made a statement at the beginning of entering the palace, and there is no need to be restrained by rules and etiquette; later, after the riots in Xiqing Palace and the theft of military defense maps, Ke Qianmei has already treated Empress Shen as her own. Qiu Yu, who occasionally met in the palace, turned a blind eye to him and was rude.

Tang Tianxiao was obviously protecting her, and the Shen family was defeated by him, so Empress Shen was helpless, and was afraid of the long whip that would return to her waist at some point, so she didn't dare to attack again.

From Ke Qianmei's point of view, it was very kind of her not to burn incense on the Queen's birthday to beg her to reach bliss early.

Tang Tianxiao was not surprised by her refusal, but said softly: "I know you don't want to go. But what if I want you to go? What if I want you to go all this way against me?"

But Qianmei couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she asked wonderingly, "But why? I didn't think you were afraid of the Shen family, and I didn't think you liked her much..."

Tang Tianxiao didn't answer.

After a long, long time, when Qian Mei was already drowsy and falling asleep, Tang Tianxiao sighed regretfully: "Let her... let her spend her last birthday happily..."

She was startled, and when she hurriedly opened her eyes to look, he closed them peacefully, breathing evenly and long, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Maybe it was because she hated Empress Shen so much that she dreamed that Tang Tianxiao would die, so she dreamed of saying such things?
She wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose, and continued to sleep in his arms.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In fact, the two of them are too close to sleep and it is not comfortable to sleep.But she was very greedy for the clean and sunny breath on his body, and she didn't want to leave him for a moment.

And he hugged her, and he seemed to sleep extraordinarily soundly.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

But Ke Qianmei didn't sleep well that night.

In other words, it suddenly got worse.

It was as if a stream of magma was flowing slowly and powerfully, scorching hot, bright red, as scorching as fire, rushing towards her silently.

And she suddenly turned into a tree, a stone, unable to move as if rooted under her feet, she was submerged by the molten magma, she opened her mouth and screamed, but even her voice was blocked by the magma pouring up up.

There is no burning pain as imagined, but there is a burning desire coming out of nowhere, which scalds all internal organs and twists them.

In a panic, she tried to escape from the magma that had imprisoned her, trying to bend her joints and flung them outward.

Finally able to move.

She heard her frightened and shrill cry as she waved her hands and feet to free herself from the lava, and then heard another voice shouting her name anxiously.
