Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 120

Ruyi sat on the bed, looked at the golden nudes she had lined up and laughed a little foolishly.

When Shaoyao and Fangcao led the people in, they saw Ruyi's appearance, Shaoyao couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty is about to get up?"

"Get up, get up!"

Ruyi picked up the golden naked seeds one by one, put them into the red purse, and handed them to Shao Yao, carefully saying: "Put them away."

Ruyi thought for a while and said, "It will be kept together with the little gold ingot that the emperor gave me last year."

"Yes."

Shao Yao took the red lotus bag with a smile, and said with a smile on her face: "Is this a red bag from the emperor, can I take a look at it?"

Ruyi is in a good mood at the moment, listening to Shaoyao's jokes, she didn't get angry, instead she smiled and said: "You are not allowed to look here, you will secretly look at it when you turn back and collect it."

Fangcao helped Ruyi put on her shoes, and pretended to be wronged when she heard the words: "Your Majesty only let Shaoyao take a peek at her, and didn't let the servants see, the servants will be very sad."

"See everything!"

As he said that, he also laughed.Just as I was talking, I saw the nanny walking in with Aman and Tianyou in her arms. The two little guys looked very energetic today, with their eyes wide open, staring at them, even the one in red clothes Tianyou looked much healthier.

Ruyi reached out and squeezed the little hands of the two children, then turned to Fangcao and said, "Go and get the gold bracelets I prepared for Aman and Tianyou."

"Yes."

Fangcao walked down in response, and after a while, she brought a beautifully decorated box. The box was opened, and there were two gold bracelets with bells carved in the same shape.

Ruyi took out one and knocked on the inside of the bracelet that was engraved with the words "Tianyou Lin'er", and knew that it was for Tianyou, so she opened it with a smile and put it on for Tianyou. The bracelet is a bit big, but there is a movable mechanism on the bracelet , Ruyi received the size of Tianyou's wrist.

"Cool! Cool!"

Seeing Ruyi wearing a golden and clanging bracelet on Tianyou, Aman became jealous, and quickly shouted to attract Ruyi's attention.

"This child, why are you so overbearing?"

Ruyi shook her head with a smile, picked up another bracelet, and put it on for Aman as well.

Aman shook his little arm, and when he heard the clanging sound, he grinned happily.He also wanted to reach out to pull Tianyou's little hand wearing a bracelet.

It's just that Aman's little hands are too short to reach, but if he disagrees, he asks the two nannies holding the child to get closer, and then reaches out to hold the two children's little hands wearing bracelets together.

As soon as Aman caught Tianyou's little hand, he held onto it tightly and shook it. Hearing the clinking sound from the shaking of the two arms, he looked at Ruyi and smiled foolishly.

Ruyi couldn't help laughing, but suddenly she saw Tianyou struggled with her little hands, her face and mouth were crooked, with a mournful face as if she was about to cry.

"What's going on here?"

Ruyi hurriedly touched Tianyou's small face, only to see that he opened his eyes and looked at Aman in disgust.Then, "Ah" cried.

Ruyi was dumbfounded, and Aman was also dumbfounded.

"What's going on here?"

Zhao Qingze heard Tianyou's cry from a distance outside the door, thought that something serious had happened, and waited until he walked in to see this scene.I couldn't help laughing.He stretched out his arms to hug Tianyou, patted Tianyou's back skillfully and coaxed him softly.

As soon as Tianyou's hand escaped from Aman's "clutch", he immediately stopped crying, sobbed softly, and kept screaming, as if he was suing Zhao Qingze.

Ruyi sighed and shook her head, and said softly to Zhao Qingze: "I thought Aman was already a ghost spirit, why does Tianyou seem to be even smarter than Aman?"

Such a young child knows how to play with his mind.

Zhao Qingze laughed, and said, "Tianyou is not smart, this child is lazy, if it wasn't for being bullied by you and Aman so much that he couldn't stand it, he wouldn't cry!"

"Don't even bother to cry?"

Ruyi blinked her eyes, stretched out her hand and squeezed Tianyou's little hand, feeling that she was really not competent as a mother, and didn't even understand her own son's habits.

Speaking of which, from Tianyou's birth to the present, although Ruyi has shifted her focus to him, she is not as wholehearted as she was when Aman was born.

She was busy raising her body at first, but now her health is much better, but she has to be busy with her two children, and she has to be careful not to neglect Zhao Qingze. In fact, she doesn't have much energy to devote to Tianyou, and she just plays with Tianyou every day For a while, and then ask the nanny about the child's situation.

When the two children were brought here, most of Tianyou was sleeping. Even if he was not sleeping, he would lie with his eyes closed, because Tianyou's health had always been poor, and Ruyi didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, it was because God bless is too lazy.

"Your little son is not just lazy. I play with things on weekdays, but he still finds it annoying. He just hugs my hand and sleeps with his eyes closed."

Zhao Qingze smiled and nodded Tianyou's little nose, and sure enough, he saw Tianyou wrinkled his little nose and waved his little hand, as if to tell Zhao Qingze not to mess with him, and then put his little head on Zhao Qingze's shoulder, looking dizzy Asleep.

Looking at Tianyou's cute little face, Ruyi felt so soft in her heart.

But Zhao Qingze's words just now made her grasp the topic, she deliberately made an angry look, and said, "You little son, is God Bless my only child?"

Zhao Qingze frowned slightly, and quickly smiled and said, "Of course it's our son. By the way, this is your New Year's gift for your son?"

Zhao Qingze smiled and raised Tianyou's little hand wearing the gold bell bracelet.

"That's right, Tianyou and Aman are one and the same, except that the words engraved inside the bracelet are different. Tianyou is Tianyoulin'er, and Aman is full of success." Ruyi explained with a smile. For the two sons, Her expectation was different, Tianyou was thin and weak, she only hoped that God could bless Tianyou to be a healthy adult.And Aman, since he was born, has been given a mission, which means that he will enjoy great rights in the future, but he will also bear great responsibilities. Until the success is complete.

"It coincides with what I thought."

Zhao Qingze smiled and took out a golden lock from Tianyou's inner garment, and Ruyi poked her head to look, only to see the words "Fushou Ankang" engraved on it.

"Aman has it too?"

Ruyi walked sideways to Aman, and also took out an identical golden lock from his clothes, with the words Hongtuweiye engraved on it.

"The two of us coincidentally." Ruyi laughed.

Zhao Qingze shook his head, and said, "It's not that they coincide with each other, but they have a clear understanding."

After saying this, the smile on Ruyi's face couldn't help becoming much sweeter, but Zhao Qingze suddenly said, "What gift did you prepare for me?"

The smile on Ruyi's face suddenly froze, and she looked at Zhao Qingze subtly and said, "Why did you suddenly... think of this?"

"Suddenly? Both sons have gifts, so you won't forget me again!"

Zhao Qingze no longer had a smile on his face, and looked at Ruyi indifferently.

Ruyi didn't speak, Zhao Qingze suddenly sighed, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you are a typical husband who has a son and forgets himself."

Although she said it was fine, Ruyi could hear the sorrow in Zhao Qingze's mouth.

She suddenly covered her mouth and let out a "puchi" laugh, and then she couldn't stop laughing like a little bit of a laughing hole.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Qingze gave her a strange look.

Ruyi managed to stop laughing, looked up to see Zhao Qingze's face, and burst out laughing again.This made Zhao Qingze's expression even more inexplicable, and even Aman and Tianyou looked at their mother strangely.

"If you laugh again, I'll go out with the child in my arms, and let you laugh enough alone in the room."

Zhao Qingze helplessly held Ruyi's waist with one hand, while threatening.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore!"

Ruyi took two deep breaths, stood still, and then slowly said: "Just now, I deliberately lied to you. The gift has been prepared long ago!"

"Lied to me?"

Zhao Qingze narrowed his eyes and looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi was not afraid at the moment, she slapped Zhao Qingze's hand off with a smile, walked slowly to a cabinet in the room, opened it, and took out a neatly folded set of clothes.

"It's been a long time, so it's ready." Ruyi said with a smile on her face, with a somewhat smug expression, "From the inside to the outside, even the shoes and socks are done for you! All made by myself."

"When... did you do it?"

Zhao Qingze didn't expect that Ruyi would hide it so closely, and suddenly give him such a big surprise.

"Did it while you were away."

Ruyi smiled lightly, pushed him, and said with a smile: "Try it on, the size should be right, I have compared it with your other clothes."

Zhao Qingze gave Tianyou to the nanny, and slowly walked up to Ruyi, but instead of taking the clothes, he hugged Ruyi and said softly, "Ruyi, thank you!"

Ruyi couldn't help showing a smile on her startled expression, and she put her hand on Zhao Qingze's around her, and said with a smile: "Just such a set of clothes can move you like this, I will Very unfulfilling."

In Ci'an Palace, Concubine Li sat on a chair with a tired face and fell asleep. Every time she was about to fall asleep, she picked up the strong tea on the table and pressed it into her mouth. The face that was originally painted beautiful is now half-faded with residual makeup, which is extremely embarrassing.

She glanced heavily at the bed not far away with the curtains lowered, and couldn't help scolding the old witch countless times in her heart.

Her personal maid gently beat her legs for her, and the eyes of the master and servant met with a bit of helplessness and boredom.

At this time, the door of the bedroom was opened, and the palace staff came in with a bowl of decoction in their hands.

Concubine Li hurriedly pushed away the maid serving her, walked up, said with a smile on her face, "Aunt Wang, let me feed the queen mother soup!"

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to pick it up.

The palace people didn't fight, but let go of their hands peacefully, allowing Concubine Li to take the soup.She walked to the Empress Dowager's bed, and lightly lifted the bed curtains on both sides.

Concubine Li walked carefully to the bed with the medicine in hand, and called softly: "The Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager..."

Just after calling twice, the Empress Dowager suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at Concubine Li with a gloomy gaze. This sudden gaze startled Concubine Li so much that she managed to escape the medicine bowl in her hand. sprinkled.

She secretly took a deep breath, and said in a soft tone: "Empress Dowager, it's time to drink medicine!"

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes slightly, but a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said, "It's Concubine Li!"

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to the palace man, who gently helped her up and leaned against the bed.

The queen mother took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Concubine Li, and said softly: "You stayed with Aijia last night, you really have a heart!"

"This is what a concubine should do."

Concubine Li answered softly, then stirred the soup with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew it, and brought it to the Empress Dowager's mouth, said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager should drink the medicine first!"

"Let it go!"

The Empress Dowager looked sleepy, shook her head, and said softly, "The Ai family is in no mood to drink medicine now, it's better to die!"

"How can the empress dowager think so, no matter how unhappy she is, she can't stop drinking medicine!"

Concubine Li expressed concern on her face and tried to persuade her.

"The Ai family is heartbroken, you said how could the emperor treat Ai family like this, he...he is not like an emperor at all, he actually trampled the royal face under his feet in the public, and he didn't care about the royal dignity at all. For that woman, he was so sorry for his family's face."

The queen mother clutched her chest and was almost out of breath. Seeing this, Concubine Li quickly put the decoction in her hand aside, and stepped forward to gently caress the queen mother's chest.

"Queen, don't be angry, your body is important."

Concubine Li's eyes were sincere, and she looked like a junior who was extremely filial and caring about her elders.

The queen mother stretched out her hand to hold Concubine Li's hand, her face was quite moved: "Now, you are the only one who still cares about Aijia, the emperor treated Aijia like yesterday, how can those people still respect Aijia now."

"Don't say that, Empress Dowager. No matter what, you are the empress dowager and the emperor's biological mother. No matter how favored the emperor is, the imperial concubine should respect you."

"Oh, that woman came from a humble background. Once she gained power, she might be too arrogant. She didn't pay attention to the elders of the Ai family. It's just that she thought too beautifully. Now she is young and beautiful, and gave birth to the emperor again. Heir, the emperor naturally dotes on her, but a flower does not last a hundred days, sooner or later, she will only become a yellow flower in the future, then, how can she be so insolent again!"

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Concubine Li didn't make a sound to echo, she just lowered her head and didn't speak.

The Queen Mother gave her a strange look, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"nothing!"

Concubine Li forced a smile, but picked up the medicine bowl again, and persuaded in a low voice: "The queen mother should take medicine!"

"What are you hesitating about, what are you talking about, it's not good to speak directly to Ai's family."

The queen mother did not drink the medicine, but frowned and said.

Concubine Li sighed softly, put down the medicine bowl, and said hesitantly: "I don't know whether I should say it, but I don't know how to say what the Empress Dowager said just now. It is the age of twenty-eight, and there are only two heirs of the emperor, one of which is the prince. In the past few years, the imperial concubine will definitely not fall out of favor. After a few years, the prince and the second prince will grow up Besides, the imperial concubine does not rely on grace to live, besides, she has a friendship with the emperor, even if the emperor looks at the two children, it is impossible for the emperor to really neglect the imperial concubine."

Moreover, Concubine Li sneered in her heart. If she really waited for a few years, the imperial concubine is still young, so she may not fall out of favor, and the new young girl will also occupy a corner in the harem. She is already past the best age. Concubine, fight with those younger women.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, but followed Li Concubine's words, and said softly: "Then what does Li Concubine think?"

"What else can the concubine think, now I don't ask for the emperor's favor, I just ask the queen mother to love the concubine a little more, the concubine wants to serve the queen mother well."

Li Fei's words were extremely tactful, without revealing anything.

The queen mother laughed, nodded Li Concubine's forehead, and said softly: "You girl, what are you playing with me, you and I both know that the imperial concubine will be favored by the emperor as long as one day, how about you? Never try to get ahead."

"What can the concubine do!"

Concubine Li still didn't answer, but the Empress Dowager didn't have the patience to play around with Concubine Li, she just smiled and said lightly: "The Ai family doesn't play sloppy with you, the Ai family wants to raise the second prince, but if the imperial concubine is in good health If she is alive, Aijia will not have the opportunity to raise her child. You want to be favored by the emperor, but the imperial concubine is still alive, and you cannot surpass the imperial concubine. Since she is a threat to you and me, why not... "

The Empress Dowager didn't continue her words, Concubine Li just listened silently.

In the end, he said softly: "The empress dowager, drink the medicine!"

"The medicine is already cold and has no medicinal properties. Aijia has missed the best time to drink it, so he will not drink this bowl of medicine again." The Queen Mother said something pointedly, and said softly, "Do anything , there must be an optimal time.”

"The Empress Dowager..."

Concubine Li raised her head, smiled and touched the medicine to the Empress Dowager's hand, and said softly: "The medicine is warm, it is the best time to drink it, and this concubine has been protecting its temperature with her hands."

"You girl!"

The queen mother took the medicine with a smile and drank it in one gulp.
