Long Harem Road

Chapter 30

Early the next morning, Baozhu woke up in a daze, and Zhao Zhen just got up.

"Your Majesty, do you need a concubine to wait for you to change clothes?" Bao Zhu opened her big sleepy eyes and said positively, but her body curled up in the bed and hugged Zhao Zhen's waist without moving.

"You." Zhao Zhen seemed to be used to Baozhu's cheating, stealing and cheating, pampering her hair and said, "Go on to sleep, Xuan Li Mingzhong will come in to serve you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so kind!" Baozhu muttered and fell asleep again.

While changing clothes, Zhao Zhen looked at the sleeping sweet orb, thinking bitterly, I was too tired last night, so I will forgive you this time, you don't take me seriously.

After paying his respects in the morning, Baozhu was drinking red dates and lotus seed porridge comfortably, when Li Mingzhong arrived at Cuiluxuan to announce the decree, "Bao Zhaoyuan, the emperor ordered Bao Zhaoyuan to make four sets of winter clothes for me within two months, and not to go out without business."

Everyone in Cuilvxuan, including Baozhu, was stunned by this oral order. Baozhu quickly reacted, stuffed a substantial purse and handed it to Li Mingzhong, "Director Li, I don't know why the emperor has such an oral order?"

Li Mingzhong suppressed the twitching corners of his mouth. Can he tell Bao Zhaoyuan that he thinks the emperor is jealous?

"Hehe, Madam Zhaoyuan, don't be nervous. Presumably, after the morning court today, the emperor summoned Erye Ji and found that the robe on Erye Ji's body is unique, and he likes it very much. It is only after learning that it was written by the empress that he made this oral order."

"Thank you, Manager Li, please tell the emperor, my concubine respectfully abides by the imperial edict, Liu Quan, send Manager Li to you!" Ten thousand muddy horses galloped in Bao Zhu's heart.

I probably made such a set of clothes for my second brother since I was a child. It seems that when I was learning needlework, I felt that the heroes in martial arts novels, the veiled robes are very handsome, so I made one according to the gourd painting. , gave it to the second brother, the second brother liked it very much, and was reluctant to wear it all the time, how could he wear it into the palace today?

What's the matter with the emperor summoning the second brother?How could the emperor fall in love with a suit of clothes? Hey, don't guess what the emperor is thinking, but I just took this opportunity to avoid the right and wrong in the palace during this period of time. It's so sleepy that someone gave me a pillow.

"Happy, restrain the people in the palace. In the past two months, they are not allowed to go out without permission except to pay their respects. If caught, they will be sent to the Department of Punishment."

"Yes!"

"In addition, please contact your family as soon as possible to find out what the emperor is calling for the second brother. Go and get some thick cloth. I will make clothes for the emperor."

"Yes!"

The emperor's weird edict caused a lot of speculation in the harem. Some suspected that the emperor fell in love with Bao Zhaoyuan's craftsmanship. Of course, more people suspected that the emperor was deliberately punishing Bao Zhaoyuan and belittling her as a embroiderer. We all consciously believe that it is the latter.

Baozhu also received cynicism and ridicule from all parties in the process of paying her respects afterwards. She always blocked it lightly and didn't take it seriously.During this period of time, Zhao Zhen was busy with the provocations of the small country in the south, and rarely stepped into the harem.

Without the fuse of the emperor, the harem regained its calmness for a while, and even the air felt much fresher, less smoky.

Time passed like running water in the battle of wits and courage with the concubines in the harem, and another month passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of November, the weather was cold and the north wind howled, leaving only bare tree trunks crumbling in the cold wind.

In this cold season, Ji Xu, the second master of the Ji family, followed the army of the general of the auxiliary state and rushed to the southern border. Zhao Zhen finally decided to deal a fatal blow to the provocative Nanluo state.

Although Baozhu was worried when she got the news, she also understood that it was the path chosen by her second brother. She just secretly sent someone to deliver a batch of good medicinal materials, hoping that her second brother would return safely.

During this month, Baozhu stayed in Cuiluxuan except for asking An, and devoted herself to tailoring clothes for the emperor. The emperor visited and rewarded her from time to time, so the rumors that she was punished and fell out of favor were self-evident.

And the relationship between Baozhu and Zhao Zhen continued day by day in a strange atmosphere, and there was a tendency to intensify, so Baozhu had no choice but to accept and force herself to adapt.

And Zhao Zhen, who was busy with the war in the south, was also very distressed in his spare time. For some reason, he always liked to go to Cuiluxuan from time to time, deliberately teasing that little woman.

Seeing her helpless and about to jump, all her troubles disappeared, and she felt extremely at ease, and felt as if not seeing her every day felt like three autumns apart.

He also tried other women, but their fearful looks made him lose interest all of a sudden, my Bao'er is still fun.

People in the palace are used to seeing people order dishes, holding high and stepping low, and the weather is cold, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a full amount of Ruitan early every month. 'Rui charcoal, burned in the furnace, has no flame but has light.Each piece can be burned for ten days, and its heat is overwhelming and cannot be approached'.

The charcoal fire in Cuilvxuan was strong and full of warmth, and the corners of Baozhu's mouth curled up. There is a huge difference between being favored and not being favored. Who knows that a few days ago, He Meiren made a fuss in front of the Queen Mother.

The majestic princess was confiscated by the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She was hungry and cold, but she was no longer favored. With her status, if there is no handwriting of the harem ruler, Baozhu smiled slightly and continued with the needlework in her hand. .

After nearly two months of bed rest, Wang Jieyu not only did not recover, but became weaker and weaker. It is said that the fetus was almost lost several times. The emperor only sent an imperial doctor to take care of her, but she never stepped into Yongfu Palace again. .

Wang Jieyu also became paranoid, noisy all day long, someone was trying to harm her, and had a bad temper. In the end, even the Queen Mother, who had always valued the emperor's heir, ignored her and worshiped the Buddha behind closed doors.

Ma Meiren ended her confinement period and appeared in the team of please An. Baozhu always felt that she looked gloomy, her eyes were strange, and there was an uncomfortable aura all over her body.

Especially when people talked about Concubine Wei, the cannibalistic look in her eyes made people shudder. Everyone quickly discovered the strangeness of Ma Meiren, and even hid far away, fearing that one day she would be overwhelmed, and the fish would die. implicate yourself.

In Changle Palace, Concubine Wei Guifei finished copying scriptures for a day, Dong Xue stepped forward to help her lean on the soft couch.

Qianqiansu caressed her slightly protruding lower abdomen with her hands, her eyes were gentle. This pregnancy has been more than three months old, and she is already showing signs of pregnancy. She is finally stable, "Dongxue, bring it up, I'm hungry.".

"Yes!" The palace maids filed in, brought out various snacks and fruits, Dong Xue checked carefully and nodded, Concubine Wei picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

"Dongxue, what's up with the beauty Ma in the side hall?"

"Mother Ma, Ma Meiren seems to be a different person since she gave birth. Two days ago, she punished Ding Xiang, the palace maid next to her, by making her kneel outside the door for two hours until she passed out."

"Ding Xiang, what did she find?" Wei Guifei smiled playfully and continued eating.

"My lady, I should have found something, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a cruel thing for no reason. My lady, I am afraid that Ma Meiren will miss her one day. To you..." Dongxue looked at Concubine Wei, hesitating to speak.

"Huh, her little scheming is not enough to watch. Find an opportunity to reveal Lilac's real owner to her, so that she won't jump out and bite people. Who is more favored in this moon palace?"

"It's basically the same. The emperor has stepped into the harem for the past month. It's just that the slaves feel that the emperor seems to be a little special to Bao Zhaoyuan, and he goes to Cuiluxuan more often." Dong Xue replied carefully, afraid that Concubine Wei would feel upset after hearing this. Comfortable.

"Oh? Don't worry, I'm very sober, there are people who are more anxious than me." Concubine Wei rubbed her lower abdomen, curled her lips and said.

"It's the servant who is worrying too much."
