Long Harem Road

Chapter 11

Baozhu slept deeply this time, and was even more tired than the first time she slept last night, so that she didn't hear a single sound when Zhao Zhen left.

Naturally, she also threw out the matter of serving the emperor, and Baozhu couldn't help praying secretly, hoping that Zhao Zhen would be conscientious, diligent and caring for the people, and would not have so much boring time, remember this little thing.

Zhao Zhen, who was in the early court, suddenly sneezed without any warning, and the civil and military officials, eunuchs and guards of the Manchu Dynasty scared everyone off their feet.

But Baozhu may not be able to fulfill his wish, Zhao Zhen has an extremely good memory, especially for things and people he is interested in.

When Zhao Zhen woke up in the morning, he found that Baozhu was in a provocative posture, sleeping soundly, with a strand of blue silk dragging beside the pillow, the quilt was only chest-length, and a curved snow-white arm was thrown outside the quilt.

Zhao Zhen patiently covered the quilt for her, and nodded her little nose, not even sleeping honestly.

Thinking that the two of them chatted so happily last night that they fell asleep too late, they kindly didn't wake her up, got up on tiptoe, and Xuan Li Mingzhong stepped forward to serve her.

Until Zhao Zhen finished washing, Baozhu still showed no signs of waking up. Zhao Zhen didn't care much about this trivial matter. Instead, he felt that Baozhu was so real and fun, and it was not a big deal, so he ignored it and went directly to the morning court.

Huan Huan knelt outside the door, her face was pale with fright, and she was sweating profusely, what happened to the master today, the emperor is about to leave, why hasn't he woke up yet.

Zhao Zhen walked to the door with square steps. When he saw the crowd kneeling in the yard, not daring to breathe, the corners of his mouth twitched. It was really the master who was not in a hurry, and waved his big hand, "Get back, don't be afraid!" Woke up Ji Jieyu, wake Ji Jieyu up later!".

After speaking, he took the people and left, jokingly thinking in his heart that he would punish her well next time, and he didn't take the emperor seriously.

The Cui Lvxuan who was left kneeling behind looked at each other, and after a while, their faces were full of joy. Not only did the emperor not punish the master, but he also cared about the master. Is this a sign that the master is favored?

If Baozhu knew, she would definitely roll her eyes again. The old lady was tired of being a confidant sister in exchange for a little sleep time. It has something to do with being favored.

Joy stood up, and his dark eyes swept over everyone, "Don't talk about today's affairs, it's all rotten in your heart, understand? Let's go to work!"

"Yes!", the joy in front of them gave them an inexplicable pressure, everyone responded respectfully, and they dispersed to start their day's work.

Baozhu stretched sleepily, suddenly thought of Zhao Zhen, woke up suddenly, touched the side, it was already empty, "Happy, when did the emperor leave?"

"Back to master, the emperor has been gone for almost an hour. When he left, he told the servants not to wake you up." Huanxi replied truthfully, and there was joy in his words. The master was favored, and their lives were easier.

"Ah, he really said that?" Baozhu was dumbfounded. If the emperor loved her, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death. Then why is Zhao Zhen so easy to talk today? Could it be that a newcomer is going to enter the palace today, so In a good mood?

"Oh, let's get dressed, let's go say hello!"

Please An is the same as the previous few days, a group of women got together to chat and secretly compared each other to be jealous, but it was still calm.

Baozhu watched secretly while drinking tea, but she didn't find any concubine who paid special attention to her, and they chatted nonchalantly and smirked.

Seeing everyone's performance, she suspected for a moment that yesterday's lunch was just an accident because she was too suspicious, but how could there be so many coincidences and accidents in the harem?
It seems that I need to use some personnel to investigate carefully. Who is it that has just entered the palace and has trouble with me?

Not long after returning to Cuiluxuan, the second batch of rewards from the emperor arrived. Apart from the clothing and jewelry, there were some extra copies this time. Baozhu was very happy, and carefully received it in the inner room.

In the afternoon, Baozhu got the news that He Ruyu had entered the palace, sealed Jieyu, and bestowed Yiliuxuan, who was the closest to Qianqing Palace, Baozhu couldn't help thinking:

What is Zhao Zhen going to do?Is it to pamper this domineering lord?Or do you want her to be proud of her favor and kill herself?Don't guess what the emperor is thinking.

Baozhu was very happy that she didn't have to go to bed, she didn't have to bother to please the emperor, she was free and happy, she was smiling, and looked radiant and moving.

Baozhu leaned on the bed, looking at the lonely copy that Zhao Zhen rewarded, the emperor's doing this is quite reliable, if there are no troubles between women, life is still pretty good.

"Happy?" Baozhu suddenly put down the book in her hand and frowned.

"The servant is here!" Joy, who had been guarding the door all the time, entered the inner room and stood in front of Baozhu.

"Is there any news from Liu Quan? Is the stool abnormal this day?"

"Returning to the master, the little stool is as usual, and no doubts have been found. The servant thinks that the time may be too short, so I plan to watch for two more days before reporting!"

"How about this, Xiaosengzi continues to stare, you find an opportunity to get in touch with Zhicao, and let her look for flaws from Ningzi!"

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl!" Joyfully withdrew in a depressed mood: Hey, it's a shame for them to have to use the staff arranged by the master in advance for such a trivial matter. The master is disappointed.

The next day, Baozhu got up early and went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects. Of course, she didn't want to admit that she wanted to go to the theater earlier, but she didn't think that He Jieyu, who had just entered the palace, would be safe.

But after a stick of incense, people gathered together. After greeting each other today, everyone consciously stopped chatting. They drank tea quietly and waited for the arrival of today's protagonist. The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while. .

Even the always indifferent queen's face had a crack, and He Jieyu, who was serving her bed for the first time, had not arrived for a long time.

Baozhu drank tea calmly, looked at it coldly, it seemed that everyone was indifferent, but the occasional glances at the door revealed everyone's mentality, or they were watching the fire from the other side or taking pleasure in other people's misfortunes.

The queen sat at the head with a calm expression.

"You sisters don't need to be cautious, they are all my sisters, Dongmei, brew the white hair silver needle that the emperor just rewarded, and give it to the masters to taste, sisters, let's spend more time chatting with sister here today"

Well, it seems that the queen is still a little depressed, so she has to take out the emperor's reward to remind everyone of her transcendent status.

"Yes!" Dongmei led the people down, and after a while, each had an extra cup of tea.

"Thank you Queen for the reward. You can only taste such good things from my sister. The emperor loves my sister!" Concubine Ma held the teacup in her hand and flattered her with a smile.

"As long as you love to eat and drink, what is the shortfall between the palace and the emperor? You eat and drink, Dongmei, make a copy of the leftover tea leaves for Concubine Ma, so you won't have to worry about this little thing here in the palace!" , the queen stretched out her hand and nodded Ma Fei.

Following the joking between Concubine Ma and the Empress, everyone became active, chatting one after another, seeming to forget that there is still one who has not arrived.

"Concubine Liu, how is the eldest prince's health these days?" The queen glanced at the crowd, and said to Concubine Liu, who is automatically a transparent person, if you want to keep a low profile, it depends on whether I am happy or not. How can I let you If you wish?

Baozhu keenly sensed that when the eldest prince was mentioned, all the concubines present unknowingly gave off a sour air, especially Zhu Zhaoyuan who was diagonally across from her, whose jealousy was too late to hide.

Everyone also stopped, gloating and looking at Concubine Liu, full of jealousy and hatred.

Bored, Baozhu picked up the teacup, Qianqianyu pinched the lid of the cup with her fingers, sniffed the faint tea fragrance, quietly watched the leaves stretch slowly in the curling smoke, fiddled with each other, and took a sip tea.

Baozhu raised her eyes and swept across the crowd, and happened to see Concubine Wei Gui who was sitting at the top. There was a problem, but her gaze was secretly looking at the queen. Although the trace of hatred was fleeting, it was captured by Baozhu. Coming to this harem is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

"Thank you, empress, for your concern. The Eldest Prince's health is already very good. He just had a slight cold a while ago!" Concubine Liu knew that she couldn't hide, so she replied respectfully.

"That's good. The eldest prince is the only prince in the palace. Concubine Liu must be careful. If there is anything missing, tell me quickly. Even the emperor loves the eldest prince the most!" The queen smiled and continued to help the eldest prince. The prince pulled hatred.

"Yes, I have to be taken care of by the empress and the emperor, and my concubines are terrified!" Concubine Liu lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly in her long sleeves, and suppressed the anger in her eyes. Empress Li, do you think this will hurt the eldest prince of the palace? ?

"Okay, sit down quickly, sisters continue!" The queen saw that Concubine Liu was not getting in, so she accepted it as soon as she was good. The jealousy of the concubines in the harem is not so easy to resist. Only one copy.

One, two, actually want to provoke the palace, but also to see what identities they are, whether they have the qualifications, hmph, He Jieyu, who has not arrived until now, thought that there is still the empress dowager in the palace to support her. ?
As for Concubine Liu, don't worry, so what if the eldest prince is born, there are still more than ten years before she becomes an adult, and it depends on whether you have the ability to protect her and bring her up safely.

The queen watched everyone chatting with a smile, but she was thinking fiercely about how to repay the person who provoked her.

"He Jieyu is here!"

The eunuch outside the door announced the door, and the hall immediately became silent again. All the concubines, including Baozhu, stared at the door closely, wanting to meet this first-day servant, so they didn't give the queen any face. man of the hour.

Wearing a bright and flamboyant soft silk long skirt, slender figure, charming waist, delicate and dazzling makeup, a pair of red phoenix swept across the concubines arrogantly.

Hehe, she has good courage, but it's a pity that she is brave and foolhardy. He Jieyu brought two maids in the palace, gracefully and gracefully, and she knelt down to salute.

"My concubine greets the empress. It was the first time last night to serve the emperor. I got up early today to serve the emperor. I feel a little uncomfortable, so please be late. Please punish the empress!"

Not only Baozhu, but all the friends are probably stunned, I'm sorry, He Jieyu, you are so arrogant, does the emperor know?Not only was it half an hour late to greet the queen for the first time, but he even dared to kneel down and bow to the queen for the first time.

Does this mean you don't want to hang out in this harem?
