Chapter 180 Fan Wai Er is going to bed? (four more)
Ye Chu raised his head and chest up all the way, and when he reached the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he immediately lowered his head, and instantly turned into a gentle and dignified weak woman, bowing down to Xiao Lie, "The concubine sees the emperor, I don't know if the emperor recruits concubines What's the matter?"
The voice is soft and delicate, like catkins soaked in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, sticking to the person's body, moist.
Sixi glanced at her young lady with a sneaky smile, and then knelt down.
Xiao Lie's eyes were deep, and he looked at her with a faint smile, "I heard that Miss Ye ordered this to be made by the imperial dining room, and it was brought to me by accident. Since it's something that Miss Ye has worked so hard to eat, don't waste it." , Miss Ye just sit here and eat!"
Eunuch Fu hurriedly pushed the plate of cicada chrysalis in front of Ye Chu.
Ye Chu straightened up, covered his lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "It's just a plate of cicada chrysalis, it's sent to the emperor, the emperor can eat it!"
Xiao Lie took the book and read it in his hand, his handsome face was cold, "I look disgusting, you can eat it yourself!"
The corner of Ye Chu's mouth twitched, is there such a person who can't speak?
"Since that's the case, then the concubine will take it back to eat!" Ye Chu smiled shyly, and told Sixi, "Sixi, don't take the cicada pupae away, lest the emperor vomit later!"
Xiao Lie raised his eyes and swept over coolly, hooked his lips and said, "You don't need to take it back, you can eat here, I watch you eat!"
Ye Chu smiled awkwardly, "This is not very good!"
"What's wrong? Is Ms. Ye afraid of me watching when she eats?" There was a half-smile on the corner of the man's lips.
Seeing that Xiao Lie obviously wanted to see her joke, Ye Chu felt malicious in his heart, and smiled slightly, "The concubine obeys the order!"
After finishing speaking, he sat opposite Xiao Lie, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cicada pupa, and smiled at Xiao Lie, "Please look, your majesty, the belly and legs of this cicada pupa are fried and crispy, chew them in your mouth , the most delicious!"
Xiao Lie watched as the woman slowly put the cicada with head and feet into Yan's lips, chewed it intentionally, and licked the corners of her lips with her slender fingers, with an expression of enjoyment, as if eating the best food in the world s things.
He felt nauseated in his chest, and looked at her coldly.
Ye Chu didn't seem to realize it. After eating one, he continued to eat the second, and the third... Each one was chewed very slowly, and he deliberately showed Xiao Lie the half-bitten cicada, "Your Majesty, look, this The meat in the stomach is so tender!"
Eunuch Fu held back his smile and turned his head away. The Concubine De concubine looked soft and weak, but she didn't expect to have such a "skinky" side, she dared to tease the emperor.
Sixi even lowered her head, not daring to look at her master who was "death".
Xiao Lie's face was ugly, and he forced a smile, "It's delicious, Miss Ye should eat more!"
"Of course, I want to eat all of these into my stomach one by one!" Ye Chu lowered his eyebrows, smiled shyly, then tore off a leg from the cicada chrysalis, chewed it in his mouth, "This leg is also very fried crispy!"
Xiao Lie couldn't stand it any longer, got up suddenly, and strode out.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly followed.
Ye Chu peeked at Xiao Lie coming out of the palace door, and laughed while lying on the table.
Sixi looked at her speechlessly, "Niang Niang, you are still laughing, this time you completely offended the emperor!"
"It's better to be offended!" Ye Chu raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, and got up with the cicada chrysalis plate, "The emperor is gone, let's go back too!"
"Did you really eat all the cicada pupae?" Sixi asked in shock.
"Such a good thing, throw it away and go to waste, let's go back and eat together!"
Ye Chu took Sixi's hand out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and back to Yaohua Palace, the master and servant ate a plate of cicada pupae one by one.
At first Sixi didn’t dare to eat it, but later she became addicted to it and almost swallowed the plate together.
"It's so fragrant and delicious!"
Ye Chu stroked his stomach, and looked at Sixi with contempt, "You ordinary people judge people by their appearance. If someone's parents are ugly, must they be unpalatable?"
Sixi's mouth was full of oil, and she admired Ye Chu even more, "Madam, how do you know this food is edible?"
"Of course I ate it in the temple!" Ye Chu said.
Si Xi was puzzled, "Aren't all monks vegetarian?"
This is considered meat, and it is considered killing.
Ye Chu took it for granted, "You are stupid, of course you ate it secretly!"
After returning home, her mother was very strict with her, so she didn't dare. Thinking about it now, it seems that being in the palace is also beneficial, at least in this Yaohua Palace, she is the one who decides!
"Oh!" Sixi looked at Ye Chuxiao meaningfully, "Ma'am, no wonder the old abbot drove you down the mountain!"
"It's not because of this that I went down the mountain. Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, so hurry up and clean up!" Ye Chu ordered.
"Yes!" Sixi replied with a smile.
……
Although Xiao Lie discussed Ye Chu, he would not drive her out of the palace just because of a plate of cicada pupae. The two still disliked each other and kept away from each other.
In April, the fragrance is exhausted, and in late spring, there are many falling flowers.
Empress Dowager Xiao knew that the emperor would not go to Yaohua Palace, so she became anxious again. Once she was anxious, Empress Dowager Rong had to follow suit.
So I had to stew the soup again and asked Ye Chu to send it to Xiao Lie, thinking that Ye Chu is such a good woman, if she gets along with her many times and for a long time, she might impress Xiao Lie.
Ye Chu looked gentle and submissive, and obediently took Tang and Queen Mother Rong to the imperial study.
It was the same little eunuch who guarded the door before, seeing the Empress Dowager Rong and Concubine De coming together, this time he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly opened the door to let Concubine De enter.
Ye Chu entered the imperial study, and said softly, "The concubine has brought soup to the emperor!"
Xiao Lie raised his head and smiled coolly, "It can't be the soup made by cicada pupae!"
Ye Chu shook his head, "The weather is getting hotter, the white fungus and lotus seed soup made by my concubine is for the emperor to cool off."
Eunuch Fu was moved to tears, what a good lady, she was scolded by the emperor several times, but she still cares about the emperor so much, she is really virtuous!
Thinking this way, he quickly backed away and gave the place to Ye Chu and the emperor.
Ye Chu came forward with the soup Gu, put it on the table like last time, poured it into a bowl, and said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty, let's try it!"
"Is it salty again this time?" Xiao Lie lazily leaned on the dragon chair, looking at her with an inscrutable smile.
"The concubine will taste it for the emperor!" Ye Chu said, took a sip from the bowl, smacked it in his mouth, then spit it back, raised his head and smiled, "It's not salty, it's sweet!"
"Ye Chu, are you interested?" Xiao Lie's eyes turned cold.
Ye Chu lowered his head, frowned and said, "Did the concubine do something wrong?"
Xiao Lie held his forehead,
"go out!"
"Yes, the concubine obeys the order!" Ye Chu poured back the soup in the bowl, packed it up and went outside.
In the distance, Eunuch Fu looked at the woman's back and shook his head, what a poor person!
Seeing Ye Chu coming out so quickly, Queen Mother Rong's heart sank, she stepped forward and said, "Is the emperor still unwilling to drink?"
Ye Chu lowered his head and said guiltily, "I've let my concubine down again!"
"Hey!" Empress Dowager Rong sighed, "Don't care about Chu'er, the emperor is too capricious!"
"No, it must be because the concubine is not good enough, not gentle enough, not considerate enough, that's why the emperor despises her." Ye Chu said with tears in his eyes.
"I really don't blame you, my concubine will never allow you to deliver soup and be wronged again!" Queen Mother Rong held Ye Chu's hand comfortingly.
Ye Chu then fell on the Empress Dowager Rong's shoulder, weeping softly, "Mother Concubine."
"I've made you feel wronged!" Empress Dowager Rong felt even more uncomfortable, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.
"What are Concubine Mu and Miss Ye doing?"
A deep sound came from behind him, and Ye Chu's body froze suddenly.
The Empress Dowager Rong looked at the man standing with his hands behind his back on the stone steps, and scolded, "Isn't the emperor going too far? Chu'er comes to bring you soup over and over again, why do you always throw her out!"
Ye Chu turned his back to Xiao Lie's dark eyes, and pulled the Queen Mother Rong's sleeve and said, "It's none of the emperor's business, it's the fault of the concubine, let's go, don't disturb the emperor's work!"
"Don't be afraid, my concubine is here, no one dares to do anything to you!" Empress Dowager Rong comforted.
Xiao Lie took a long leg and walked down the stone steps slowly, with a thin smile on his lips, "It's Erchen's fault for neglecting Ms. Ye!"
After finishing speaking, he set off the soup Gu in Ye Chu's arms, and said with a light smile, "It's really disappointing a good soup, my son doesn't want to eat sweets, but don't waste Miss Ye's hard work, why don't Miss Ye drink it by herself Come on!"
Ye Chu's hand holding the soup Gu trembled slightly.
Empress Dowager Rong frowned and said, "Miss Ye, she is already married to you and is your concubine."
"It's not important." Xiao Lie looked at Ye Chu calmly, "Miss Ye didn't follow orders and drank the soup!"
Ye Chu wished to splash the soup in his hand on the man's hateful face, reluctantly endured it, and said with a slight smile, "How can I drink the soup that my concubine specially stewed for the emperor?"
"I told you to drink it, you drink it!" Xiao Lie took a step closer, took the bowl from the soup Gu, and poured a bowl for Ye Chu.
Ye Chu's face paled, "The concubine has been taught strictly since childhood, and my father forbade the concubine to eat and drink soup outside."
Xiao Lie turned his head and ordered, "Everyone, turn your head!"
"Yes!" The palace servants outside the imperial study all turned around.
"Is this okay?" Xiao Lie moved closer with the bowl in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
Ye Chu bit his lip and looked at him, his eyes almost burst into flames.
Xiao Lie looked at her tepidly, with a smile on his lips, "Miss Ye, drink quickly, it will be cold later!"
Empress Dowager Rong couldn't understand Xiao Lie's expression, she only saw him holding a bowl as if about to feed Ye Chu, the two were very close, seeming to be intimate.
"Chu'er, since the emperor wants you to drink, you should drink it!" The Empress Dowager Rong said with a smile, she naturally hoped that the two of them would get along well.
Ye Chu bit his lips and looked at the lotus seed soup in the bowl that he had swallowed by himself, and lowered his voice to discuss with Xiao Lie, "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I dare not do it next time, please forgive me!"
Xiao Lie smiled lowly, "What did Miss Ye say? Could it be that this soup is poisonous? Didn't you give this soup to me?"
Ye Chu clenched his hands tightly, wanting to scold his mother with hatred in his heart, but when he looked up, his eyes were full, with a pitiful look on his face, "Then I'll just have a drink, okay?"
Xiao Lie smiled lightly, knowing that the woman pretended to be weak on the surface, but she didn't know how to scold him in her heart, such a duplicity, he had seen too many duplicitous women, so he was not moved at all, "Drink every bowl!"
Empress Dowager Rong leaned over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? It's just a bowl of soup. Why, is it so bad?"
"No!" The soup was made by Queen Mother Rong, Ye Chu dared to say that there was something wrong with the soup, he gritted his teeth, took it from Xiao Lie's hand, held the bowl in both hands, and drank it with his head raised.
Anyway, I vomited myself!
Ye Chu finished the soup with a generous attitude, and smiled at Xiao Lie, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rewarding the porridge!"
Xiao Lie was still able to laugh at this time, and Xiao Lie felt a little admiration, and turned to Empress Dowager Rong and said, "Concubine Mother, I don't want to drink soup recently, so don't bother me any more."
The Empress Dowager Rong knew that Xiao Lie had seen that she made the soup, so she smiled lightly, "Okay, you don't have to drink the soup, but you have to give Chu'er a privilege, you can enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation at any time, and you can't If you neglect her again, if you promise, the concubine mother will not make soup for you."
Xiao Lie looked at the astonished Ye Chu and nodded, "Okay, I agree!"
Everything that woman did before seemed to be that she didn't want to get close to him, even if she was given such a privilege, she might not enter his palace.
Empress Dowager Rong nodded happily, "That's all right!"
……
Back at Yaohua Palace, thinking about the bowl of porridge for gargling, Ye Chu didn't eat until night.
That hateful man, she just disgusted him a little bit, and he took revenge on her so viciously, with such a narrow mind, he is simply the king of a country in vain!
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Rong promised Xiao Lie not to make porridge for him anymore, and she was finally relieved, and she didn't have to go to the Imperial Study Room anymore.
It rained for three consecutive days, Ye Chu looked at the rain curtain every day, felt homesick, felt melancholy, and didn't know when he would be able to leave the palace.
"Your Majesty misses Master and Madam!" Sixi took a cloak and put it on Ye Chu's shoulders.
Ye Chu leaned on the window with both arms, lightly sliding the raindrops that fell on the window lattice with pale fingers, and sighed, "Sixi, do you think I will be trapped in this yard for the rest of my life?"
Sixi said, "Not necessarily, the emperor will have a new favorite concubine one day, maybe let the empress live in another courtyard."
Ye Chu looked at her helplessly, "Si Xi, do you still want your young lady to be well?"
Sixi chuckled, "I'm just kidding, Your Majesty will definitely become the Emperor's favorite concubine. At that time, if Your Majesty says she wants to leave the palace, the Emperor will definitely agree!"
Ye Chu turned his head to look at the rain scene outside the window, thoughtfully.
The rain in April was pattering intermittently until the end of April.
After the rain, everything in the palace is as new, the lotus leaves are like a cover, the willow branches are green, and there is a scene full of vitality, which even improves people's mood.
In the evening of that day, Eunuch Fu was summoned to Hualin Palace.
Empress Dowager Rong was pruning flower branches with silver scissors, and a dozen little maids behind her were serving.
Eunuch Fu leaned over to pay his respects, and said respectfully, "Is the Empress Dowager looking for a servant?"
Empress Dowager Rong nodded lightly and asked, "I want to ask you something."
"You can ask the empress dowager if you have anything to say, and the servant will know everything." Eunuch Fu bowed his head.
"En!" Empress Dowager Rong smiled gently, "Has the emperor been to Yaohua Palace recently?"
Eunuch Fu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said truthfully, "Go back to the empress dowager, the emperor has never been there."
"Has Concubine De been to the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
"I've never been here either!" Mr. Fu said fairly.
Empress Dowager Rong frowned slightly, thinking that Ye Chu was a woman after all, her skin was too thin, even if she had the privilege to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she couldn't take the initiative to go there.
"Come here!" Empress Dowager Rong waved to Eunuch Fu, and walked slowly towards the inner hall.
After entering the inner palace, other palace people guarded outside the palace, and only the queen mother's close maid followed.
Empress Dowager Rong nodded slightly to the maid, she understood, and took a bluish-white porcelain bottle from the bookshelf behind her and handed it to Eunuch Fu.
"Empress Dowager, this is?" Eunuch Fu was puzzled.
"Tonight, let the emperor go back to rest early, warm the pot of wine for the emperor, and then pour the contents of the bottle into the wine. Do you understand what will happen next?" The Empress Dowager Rong said softly.
Eunuch Fu knelt down on his knees with a plop, "I dare not!"
"Don't worry, what's in the bottle won't hurt your body. The emperor is the son of the Ai family, and the Ai family won't harm him." The Empress Dowager Rong said meaningfully, "The emperor's heir is related to the stability of the previous dynasty, and it is even more related to the stability of Daliang. A century-old foundation, this is also the meaning of the Supreme Emperor, you just go ahead and do it!"
"Slave," Eunuch Fu hesitated.
"The Ai family knows that you are loyal to the emperor, but this is not to harm him. It is for the entire girder and for the stability of our royal family. You have done it, the emperor and the empress dowager will all remember you!"
"Slaves are terrified!" Eunuch Fu lowered his head even lower.
"Follow what the Ai family says, and if something happens, just say that the Ai family asked you to do it, and the Ai family will definitely keep you safe!"
Eunuch Fu understood what Empress Dowager Rong meant, and also knew that Empress Dowager Rong would not harm the emperor, he hesitated for a moment, and could only respond, "Yes, I obey!"
"Go, Aijia believes that you will handle it well!" Queen Mother Rong said with a smile.
"Yes!" Eunuch Fu saluted again before putting away the porcelain vase and exiting the inner hall.
It was night, just after three o'clock in the morning, Fu Gonggong urged Xiao Lie to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to rest.
Xiao Lie was indeed a little tired today, put down the memorial, closed his eyes and rested for a while, got up and left.
It has just rained, and there is still water on the stone platform, which is reflected by the palace lanterns at night. The lights and shadows reflect each other, and the water is slightly cold.
The summer night was cool after the rain, Xiao Lie walked slowly into the inner hall, read a book for a while, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath.
In the bath room is a huge white jade pond, with white jade carved stone pillars at the four corners, and a hollow palace lantern carved with dragons on it. The light shines on the water mist, like clouds and smoke, like a fairyland.
The palace attendant stepped forward and took off Xiao Lie's robe, he waved his hand, and the palace attendant bowed his head and retreated.
As the man walked into the jade pond, he slowly took off his jacket, revealing his strong and fair shoulders, with a beautiful mermaid line down, narrow waist and thin legs, and slender legs. .
The man stepped into the pool and leaned his head against the pool wall, enjoying the moment of laziness and comfort.
Eunuch Fu came in with a tray. On the tray was a wine jug with white porcelain peach branches and wine cups of the same color.
Carefully placing the tray on the jade platform by the pool, Eunuch Fu poured the wine into the cup of red, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted out immediately.
"Your Majesty, it's cold today, drink two cups of hot wine and rest!"
"En!" Xiao Lie's long eyes were closed tightly, and he only let out a faint nasal sound.
Eunuch Fu put down the wine cup and withdrew from the bathroom.
After leaving the inner hall, Eunuch Fu summoned his confidant eunuch over and confessed in a low voice, "Go to Yaohua Palace immediately, and tell the emperor that he wants to see Concubine De!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch responded cleverly, and immediately ran towards Yaohua Palace.
In the bathroom of the dormitory, there was mist and mist, and the fragrance of wine permeated the air. Xiao Lie slightly opened his long eyes, picked up the glass of wine poured by Eunuch Fu, and sipped slowly.
He propped his shoulders against the edge of the pool, he only felt that the wine in his mouth was clean and refreshing, and relieved most of his fatigue, so he poured himself another glass and drank it down.
Just like this, one cup after another, gradually drank half of the whole pot of wine, the man's eyes were stained with wine, and he felt a scorching air rising from his dantian, quickly spreading through his blood, and the water in the pool seemed to become hot. .
The man closed his eyes, just wanting to use the sake to quench the heat in his body, without using the wine cup, he directly picked up the jug, and poured the slender spout to his lips.
……
In Yaohua Palace, Ye Chu was stunned when he heard the summons, and looked at the sky outside the window.
It was already very late, what was she doing calling her into the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time.
Do you want to wait for bedtime?
Ye Chu's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly became nervous, Xiao Lie had neglected her for almost two months, did he finally remember that she was his concubine?
"This father-in-law, do you know what the emperor asked me to do?" Ye Chu asked cautiously.
Hongxiu and Tianxiang stood aside, bowed their heads and pursed their lips with a smile, and said, "The emperor summoned the empress to the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, of course he is going to bed, and the servants will congratulate the empress!"
Congratulations?
Ye Chu smiled wryly in his heart.
"Eunuch Lao, wait a moment!" Hongxiu said, and he and Tian Xiang supported Ye Chu into the inner hall.
Bathing, changing clothes, dressing up... It was a lot of trouble.
The two of them were afraid that the emperor would wait for a long time, so they moved lightly and quickly. After a while, Ye Chu standing in front of everyone seemed to be a different person. Standing up, supporting her slender and graceful figure, a phoenix hairpin with pearls is inserted obliquely on the temples like clouds and ink. Cheng, the skin is like fat, and the gentle temperament is a little more charming, beautiful and refined.
Sixi looked blankly from the side, "Young lady is so pretty!"
Hongxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty usually dresses too plainly, you will look as beautiful as a fairy after a little dressing up!"
Ye Chu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and smiled embarrassingly, "It's too scary to dress up like this at night, I'd better wash it off!"
"Your Majesty, it's running out of time, go!" Hongxiu pulled Ye Chu and said with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, the servants and maidservants will welcome you outside the palace together!"
"Your Majesty, please!" The summoned eunuch greeted respectfully.
Ye Chu had no choice but to leave the hall, hoping that Xiao Lie might not be calling her to sleep with him today, even if it was true, she could still see through his tricks and prevent him from succeeding.
Thinking this way, my heart still couldn't help becoming tense, and I sat on the sedan chair all the way, my palms were covered with sweat.
Fortunately, Sixi was by her side, she lowered her voice and laughed, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, I heard people say that the pain will go away after a while!"
In the dark, Ye Chu blushed and reprimanded in a low voice, "You are only too young to learn from those women!"
Sixi stuck out her tongue, "It's not that the slaves deliberately want to listen, it's those women who don't avoid people when they gossip."
At this time, Ye Chu remembered what the nanny told her the night before entering the palace, his face became hot, and then he became annoyed.
Thoughts were chaotic all the way, but after a while, the sedan chair stopped outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
(End of this chapter)
Ye Chu raised his head and chest up all the way, and when he reached the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he immediately lowered his head, and instantly turned into a gentle and dignified weak woman, bowing down to Xiao Lie, "The concubine sees the emperor, I don't know if the emperor recruits concubines What's the matter?"
The voice is soft and delicate, like catkins soaked in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, sticking to the person's body, moist.
Sixi glanced at her young lady with a sneaky smile, and then knelt down.
Xiao Lie's eyes were deep, and he looked at her with a faint smile, "I heard that Miss Ye ordered this to be made by the imperial dining room, and it was brought to me by accident. Since it's something that Miss Ye has worked so hard to eat, don't waste it." , Miss Ye just sit here and eat!"
Eunuch Fu hurriedly pushed the plate of cicada chrysalis in front of Ye Chu.
Ye Chu straightened up, covered his lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "It's just a plate of cicada chrysalis, it's sent to the emperor, the emperor can eat it!"
Xiao Lie took the book and read it in his hand, his handsome face was cold, "I look disgusting, you can eat it yourself!"
The corner of Ye Chu's mouth twitched, is there such a person who can't speak?
"Since that's the case, then the concubine will take it back to eat!" Ye Chu smiled shyly, and told Sixi, "Sixi, don't take the cicada pupae away, lest the emperor vomit later!"
Xiao Lie raised his eyes and swept over coolly, hooked his lips and said, "You don't need to take it back, you can eat here, I watch you eat!"
Ye Chu smiled awkwardly, "This is not very good!"
"What's wrong? Is Ms. Ye afraid of me watching when she eats?" There was a half-smile on the corner of the man's lips.
Seeing that Xiao Lie obviously wanted to see her joke, Ye Chu felt malicious in his heart, and smiled slightly, "The concubine obeys the order!"
After finishing speaking, he sat opposite Xiao Lie, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cicada pupa, and smiled at Xiao Lie, "Please look, your majesty, the belly and legs of this cicada pupa are fried and crispy, chew them in your mouth , the most delicious!"
Xiao Lie watched as the woman slowly put the cicada with head and feet into Yan's lips, chewed it intentionally, and licked the corners of her lips with her slender fingers, with an expression of enjoyment, as if eating the best food in the world s things.
He felt nauseated in his chest, and looked at her coldly.
Ye Chu didn't seem to realize it. After eating one, he continued to eat the second, and the third... Each one was chewed very slowly, and he deliberately showed Xiao Lie the half-bitten cicada, "Your Majesty, look, this The meat in the stomach is so tender!"
Eunuch Fu held back his smile and turned his head away. The Concubine De concubine looked soft and weak, but she didn't expect to have such a "skinky" side, she dared to tease the emperor.
Sixi even lowered her head, not daring to look at her master who was "death".
Xiao Lie's face was ugly, and he forced a smile, "It's delicious, Miss Ye should eat more!"
"Of course, I want to eat all of these into my stomach one by one!" Ye Chu lowered his eyebrows, smiled shyly, then tore off a leg from the cicada chrysalis, chewed it in his mouth, "This leg is also very fried crispy!"
Xiao Lie couldn't stand it any longer, got up suddenly, and strode out.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly followed.
Ye Chu peeked at Xiao Lie coming out of the palace door, and laughed while lying on the table.
Sixi looked at her speechlessly, "Niang Niang, you are still laughing, this time you completely offended the emperor!"
"It's better to be offended!" Ye Chu raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, and got up with the cicada chrysalis plate, "The emperor is gone, let's go back too!"
"Did you really eat all the cicada pupae?" Sixi asked in shock.
"Such a good thing, throw it away and go to waste, let's go back and eat together!"
Ye Chu took Sixi's hand out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and back to Yaohua Palace, the master and servant ate a plate of cicada pupae one by one.
At first Sixi didn’t dare to eat it, but later she became addicted to it and almost swallowed the plate together.

"It's not because of this that I went down the mountain. Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, so hurry up and clean up!" Ye Chu ordered.
"Yes!" Sixi replied with a smile.

Although Xiao Lie discussed Ye Chu, he would not drive her out of the palace just because of a plate of cicada pupae. The two still disliked each other and kept away from each other.
In April, the fragrance is exhausted, and in late spring, there are many falling flowers.

"No, it must be because the concubine is not good enough, not gentle enough, not considerate enough, that's why the emperor despises her." Ye Chu said with tears in his eyes.
"I really don't blame you, my concubine will never allow you to deliver soup and be wronged again!" Queen Mother Rong held Ye Chu's hand comfortingly.
Ye Chu then fell on the Empress Dowager Rong's shoulder, weeping softly, "Mother Concubine."
"I've made you feel wronged!" Empress Dowager Rong felt even more uncomfortable, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.
"What are Concubine Mu and Miss Ye doing?"
A deep sound came from behind him, and Ye Chu's body froze suddenly.
The Empress Dowager Rong looked at the man standing with his hands behind his back on the stone steps, and scolded, "Isn't the emperor going too far? Chu'er comes to bring you soup over and over again, why do you always throw her out!"
Ye Chu turned his back to Xiao Lie's dark eyes, and pulled the Queen Mother Rong's sleeve and said, "It's none of the emperor's business, it's the fault of the concubine, let's go, don't disturb the emperor's work!"
"Don't be afraid, my concubine is here, no one dares to do anything to you!" Empress Dowager Rong comforted.
Xiao Lie took a long leg and walked down the stone steps slowly, with a thin smile on his lips, "It's Erchen's fault for neglecting Ms. Ye!"
After finishing speaking, he set off the soup Gu in Ye Chu's arms, and said with a light smile, "It's really disappointing a good soup, my son doesn't want to eat sweets, but don't waste Miss Ye's hard work, why don't Miss Ye drink it by herself Come on!"
Ye Chu's hand holding the soup Gu trembled slightly.
Empress Dowager Rong frowned and said, "Miss Ye, she is already married to you and is your concubine."
"It's not important." Xiao Lie looked at Ye Chu calmly, "Miss Ye didn't follow orders and drank the soup!"
Ye Chu wished to splash the soup in his hand on the man's hateful face, reluctantly endured it, and said with a slight smile, "How can I drink the soup that my concubine specially stewed for the emperor?"
"I told you to drink it, you drink it!" Xiao Lie took a step closer, took the bowl from the soup Gu, and poured a bowl for Ye Chu.
Ye Chu's face paled, "The concubine has been taught strictly since childhood, and my father forbade the concubine to eat and drink soup outside."
Xiao Lie turned his head and ordered, "Everyone, turn your head!"
"Yes!" The palace servants outside the imperial study all turned around.
"Is this okay?" Xiao Lie moved closer with the bowl in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
Ye Chu bit his lip and looked at him, his eyes almost burst into flames.
Xiao Lie looked at her tepidly, with a smile on his lips, "Miss Ye, drink quickly, it will be cold later!"
Empress Dowager Rong couldn't understand Xiao Lie's expression, she only saw him holding a bowl as if about to feed Ye Chu, the two were very close, seeming to be intimate.
"Chu'er, since the emperor wants you to drink, you should drink it!" The Empress Dowager Rong said with a smile, she naturally hoped that the two of them would get along well.
Ye Chu bit his lips and looked at the lotus seed soup in the bowl that he had swallowed by himself, and lowered his voice to discuss with Xiao Lie, "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I dare not do it next time, please forgive me!"
Xiao Lie smiled lowly, "What did Miss Ye say? Could it be that this soup is poisonous? Didn't you give this soup to me?"
Ye Chu clenched his hands tightly, wanting to scold his mother with hatred in his heart, but when he looked up, his eyes were full, with a pitiful look on his face, "Then I'll just have a drink, okay?"
Xiao Lie smiled lightly, knowing that the woman pretended to be weak on the surface, but she didn't know how to scold him in her heart, such a duplicity, he had seen too many duplicitous women, so he was not moved at all, "Drink every bowl!"
Empress Dowager Rong leaned over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? It's just a bowl of soup. Why, is it so bad?"
"No!" The soup was made by Queen Mother Rong, Ye Chu dared to say that there was something wrong with the soup, he gritted his teeth, took it from Xiao Lie's hand, held the bowl in both hands, and drank it with his head raised.
Anyway, I vomited myself!
Ye Chu finished the soup with a generous attitude, and smiled at Xiao Lie, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rewarding the porridge!"
Xiao Lie was still able to laugh at this time, and Xiao Lie felt a little admiration, and turned to Empress Dowager Rong and said, "Concubine Mother, I don't want to drink soup recently, so don't bother me any more."
The Empress Dowager Rong knew that Xiao Lie had seen that she made the soup, so she smiled lightly, "Okay, you don't have to drink the soup, but you have to give Chu'er a privilege, you can enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation at any time, and you can't If you neglect her again, if you promise, the concubine mother will not make soup for you."
Xiao Lie looked at the astonished Ye Chu and nodded, "Okay, I agree!"
Everything that woman did before seemed to be that she didn't want to get close to him, even if she was given such a privilege, she might not enter his palace.
Empress Dowager Rong nodded happily, "That's all right!"
……
Back at Yaohua Palace, thinking about the bowl of porridge for gargling, Ye Chu didn't eat until night.
That hateful man, she just disgusted him a little bit, and he took revenge on her so viciously, with such a narrow mind, he is simply the king of a country in vain!
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Rong promised Xiao Lie not to make porridge for him anymore, and she was finally relieved, and she didn't have to go to the Imperial Study Room anymore.
It rained for three consecutive days, Ye Chu looked at the rain curtain every day, felt homesick, felt melancholy, and didn't know when he would be able to leave the palace.
"Your Majesty misses Master and Madam!" Sixi took a cloak and put it on Ye Chu's shoulders.
Ye Chu leaned on the window with both arms, lightly sliding the raindrops that fell on the window lattice with pale fingers, and sighed, "Sixi, do you think I will be trapped in this yard for the rest of my life?"
Sixi said, "Not necessarily, the emperor will have a new favorite concubine one day, maybe let the empress live in another courtyard."
Ye Chu looked at her helplessly, "Si Xi, do you still want your young lady to be well?"
Sixi chuckled, "I'm just kidding, Your Majesty will definitely become the Emperor's favorite concubine. At that time, if Your Majesty says she wants to leave the palace, the Emperor will definitely agree!"
Ye Chu turned his head to look at the rain scene outside the window, thoughtfully.
The rain in April was pattering intermittently until the end of April.
After the rain, everything in the palace is as new, the lotus leaves are like a cover, the willow branches are green, and there is a scene full of vitality, which even improves people's mood.
In the evening of that day, Eunuch Fu was summoned to Hualin Palace.
Empress Dowager Rong was pruning flower branches with silver scissors, and a dozen little maids behind her were serving.
Eunuch Fu leaned over to pay his respects, and said respectfully, "Is the Empress Dowager looking for a servant?"
Empress Dowager Rong nodded lightly and asked, "I want to ask you something."
"You can ask the empress dowager if you have anything to say, and the servant will know everything." Eunuch Fu bowed his head.
"En!" Empress Dowager Rong smiled gently, "Has the emperor been to Yaohua Palace recently?"
Eunuch Fu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said truthfully, "Go back to the empress dowager, the emperor has never been there."
"Has Concubine De been to the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
"I've never been here either!" Mr. Fu said fairly.
Empress Dowager Rong frowned slightly, thinking that Ye Chu was a woman after all, her skin was too thin, even if she had the privilege to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she couldn't take the initiative to go there.
"Come here!" Empress Dowager Rong waved to Eunuch Fu, and walked slowly towards the inner hall.
After entering the inner palace, other palace people guarded outside the palace, and only the queen mother's close maid followed.
Empress Dowager Rong nodded slightly to the maid, she understood, and took a bluish-white porcelain bottle from the bookshelf behind her and handed it to Eunuch Fu.
"Empress Dowager, this is?" Eunuch Fu was puzzled.
"Tonight, let the emperor go back to rest early, warm the pot of wine for the emperor, and then pour the contents of the bottle into the wine. Do you understand what will happen next?" The Empress Dowager Rong said softly.
Eunuch Fu knelt down on his knees with a plop, "I dare not!"
"Don't worry, what's in the bottle won't hurt your body. The emperor is the son of the Ai family, and the Ai family won't harm him." The Empress Dowager Rong said meaningfully, "The emperor's heir is related to the stability of the previous dynasty, and it is even more related to the stability of Daliang. A century-old foundation, this is also the meaning of the Supreme Emperor, you just go ahead and do it!"
"Slave," Eunuch Fu hesitated.
"The Ai family knows that you are loyal to the emperor, but this is not to harm him. It is for the entire girder and for the stability of our royal family. You have done it, the emperor and the empress dowager will all remember you!"
"Slaves are terrified!" Eunuch Fu lowered his head even lower.
"Follow what the Ai family says, and if something happens, just say that the Ai family asked you to do it, and the Ai family will definitely keep you safe!"
Eunuch Fu understood what Empress Dowager Rong meant, and also knew that Empress Dowager Rong would not harm the emperor, he hesitated for a moment, and could only respond, "Yes, I obey!"
"Go, Aijia believes that you will handle it well!" Queen Mother Rong said with a smile.
"Yes!" Eunuch Fu saluted again before putting away the porcelain vase and exiting the inner hall.
It was night, just after three o'clock in the morning, Fu Gonggong urged Xiao Lie to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to rest.
Xiao Lie was indeed a little tired today, put down the memorial, closed his eyes and rested for a while, got up and left.
It has just rained, and there is still water on the stone platform, which is reflected by the palace lanterns at night. The lights and shadows reflect each other, and the water is slightly cold.
The summer night was cool after the rain, Xiao Lie walked slowly into the inner hall, read a book for a while, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath.
In the bath room is a huge white jade pond, with white jade carved stone pillars at the four corners, and a hollow palace lantern carved with dragons on it. The light shines on the water mist, like clouds and smoke, like a fairyland.
The palace attendant stepped forward and took off Xiao Lie's robe, he waved his hand, and the palace attendant bowed his head and retreated.
As the man walked into the jade pond, he slowly took off his jacket, revealing his strong and fair shoulders, with a beautiful mermaid line down, narrow waist and thin legs, and slender legs. .
The man stepped into the pool and leaned his head against the pool wall, enjoying the moment of laziness and comfort.
Eunuch Fu came in with a tray. On the tray was a wine jug with white porcelain peach branches and wine cups of the same color.
Carefully placing the tray on the jade platform by the pool, Eunuch Fu poured the wine into the cup of red, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted out immediately.
"Your Majesty, it's cold today, drink two cups of hot wine and rest!"
"En!" Xiao Lie's long eyes were closed tightly, and he only let out a faint nasal sound.
Eunuch Fu put down the wine cup and withdrew from the bathroom.
After leaving the inner hall, Eunuch Fu summoned his confidant eunuch over and confessed in a low voice, "Go to Yaohua Palace immediately, and tell the emperor that he wants to see Concubine De!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch responded cleverly, and immediately ran towards Yaohua Palace.
In the bathroom of the dormitory, there was mist and mist, and the fragrance of wine permeated the air. Xiao Lie slightly opened his long eyes, picked up the glass of wine poured by Eunuch Fu, and sipped slowly.
He propped his shoulders against the edge of the pool, he only felt that the wine in his mouth was clean and refreshing, and relieved most of his fatigue, so he poured himself another glass and drank it down.
Just like this, one cup after another, gradually drank half of the whole pot of wine, the man's eyes were stained with wine, and he felt a scorching air rising from his dantian, quickly spreading through his blood, and the water in the pool seemed to become hot. .
The man closed his eyes, just wanting to use the sake to quench the heat in his body, without using the wine cup, he directly picked up the jug, and poured the slender spout to his lips.
……
In Yaohua Palace, Ye Chu was stunned when he heard the summons, and looked at the sky outside the window.
It was already very late, what was she doing calling her into the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time.
Do you want to wait for bedtime?
Ye Chu's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly became nervous, Xiao Lie had neglected her for almost two months, did he finally remember that she was his concubine?
"This father-in-law, do you know what the emperor asked me to do?" Ye Chu asked cautiously.
Hongxiu and Tianxiang stood aside, bowed their heads and pursed their lips with a smile, and said, "The emperor summoned the empress to the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, of course he is going to bed, and the servants will congratulate the empress!"
Congratulations?
Ye Chu smiled wryly in his heart.
"Eunuch Lao, wait a moment!" Hongxiu said, and he and Tian Xiang supported Ye Chu into the inner hall.
Bathing, changing clothes, dressing up... It was a lot of trouble.
The two of them were afraid that the emperor would wait for a long time, so they moved lightly and quickly. After a while, Ye Chu standing in front of everyone seemed to be a different person. Standing up, supporting her slender and graceful figure, a phoenix hairpin with pearls is inserted obliquely on the temples like clouds and ink. Cheng, the skin is like fat, and the gentle temperament is a little more charming, beautiful and refined.
Sixi looked blankly from the side, "Young lady is so pretty!"
Hongxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty usually dresses too plainly, you will look as beautiful as a fairy after a little dressing up!"
Ye Chu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and smiled embarrassingly, "It's too scary to dress up like this at night, I'd better wash it off!"
"Your Majesty, it's running out of time, go!" Hongxiu pulled Ye Chu and said with a smile, "Tomorrow morning, the servants and maidservants will welcome you outside the palace together!"
"Your Majesty, please!" The summoned eunuch greeted respectfully.
Ye Chu had no choice but to leave the hall, hoping that Xiao Lie might not be calling her to sleep with him today, even if it was true, she could still see through his tricks and prevent him from succeeding.
Thinking this way, my heart still couldn't help becoming tense, and I sat on the sedan chair all the way, my palms were covered with sweat.
Fortunately, Sixi was by her side, she lowered her voice and laughed, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, I heard people say that the pain will go away after a while!"
In the dark, Ye Chu blushed and reprimanded in a low voice, "You are only too young to learn from those women!"
Sixi stuck out her tongue, "It's not that the slaves deliberately want to listen, it's those women who don't avoid people when they gossip."
At this time, Ye Chu remembered what the nanny told her the night before entering the palace, his face became hot, and then he became annoyed.
Thoughts were chaotic all the way, but after a while, the sedan chair stopped outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
