Chapter 18 The Court Chapter 5
The morning sun has just risen and the sky is not yet bright. The sun shines in from the window sill. The vitality of the morning gradually wakes up the gloom of the night. The rustling of leaves welcomes the arrival of the warm sun. Through the gap in the golden birdcage, sunlight squeezed into the inner room, waking up the sleeping princess...

The Chonghua Palace began to get busy, the lights in the inner room were lit, Xiao Tao walked into the inner room gently, calling out to the girl who was still on the bed.

"Miss, it's almost time of day, I'm going to the Jiaofang Hall to greet the empress..."

The sun shone into the inner room and came in from the window sill, leaving mottled light and shadows on the face of the woman on the bed. It seemed that she felt the slightest warmth, and also seemed to hear the noisy sounds around her.On Qingli's face, the eyelids moved slightly and slowly opened.The blue silk was softly scattered on the side of the bed, showing off the woman's skin like jade, which was enviable.Xiaotao by the bed lowered her eyelids, restrained the envious and sad look in her eyes, and said loudly
"Master is awake..." After saying that, he walked over and helped the woman up, but the expression on her face was always drooping.

From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Xiao Tao around him. Since the attack, the idea of ​​serving the emperor became more and more obvious in his eyes, and his heart sank even more.Even if it wasn't Tang Xuemei herself, if she came, it wouldn't be able to stop Xiaotao's innermost desire.Seeing the awakening of the dark desire in her heart, he began to be wary of her.

The maids came in one file at a time, holding washing utensils, and lined up to wash the pregnant woman on the bed. Xiao Tao beside her said while choosing clothes
"Master, which one do you want to wear? How about this pink dress?" Xiao Tao picked up a pink dress, her expression flashed, and then she smiled again. The flowers are embroidered with peony, the king of flowers. The whole dress is very beautiful and beautiful, and the embroidered flowers look very luxurious. It is suitable for a gorgeous woman, but it is not suitable for her. It will only make her look more vulgar when she wears it. , she is more suitable for light colors.Gently raised his head and glanced at Xiaotao who had a gloomy expression in front of him, and sighed softly

"Help me bring that ink-colored dress here..." The ink-colored light blue dress is very simple and has a taste of Jiangnan water town. It is cold and aloof, which suits her very well. This dress is not tight Waist, well put away her pregnant body.

"Master, why don't you wear that pink one?" Xiao Tao trotted over to help the woman who couldn't walk easily, and while helping her dress, she looked at her with wide eyes, the darkness in her eyes was covered.

"You have served me for so many years, when have you ever seen me wearing pink?..." Involuntarily mockingly evoked a formulaic smile, looking at her with an unclear expression, the palace, the man-eating devil's lair, the burial place of the beautiful and withered bones what……

"Xiaotao's favorability is reduced by [-], and the current favorability is [-]"

"Let's go, go to the Jiaofang Hall, and greet the Empress..." After she was dressed, the woman's slender wrist quietly rested on the hand of the maidservant with her head bowed beside her, and she gracefully moved towards the distant pepper. Walking to Fangdian, the plants in late autumn have fallen into the season of withering. The scenery in the palace has changed a lot. The warm sunlight hits people's faces, casting mottled shadows and spots on people's expressions. Beautiful things always make people feel happy. I feel comfortable, just like the sunshine that is always shining, feeling the sunshine is like feeling the warmth...

The cobblestone ground is a bit separated, but it also has the effect of massaging the acupoints. The acupoints mentioned in Chinese medicine are actually quite reasonable.Feeling the temperature under his feet, looking at the majestic palace at the end of the pebbles in the distance, he couldn't help straightening his back.

The women who competed for beauty stepped into the main hall one after the other, or they were paired together, or they were talking and joking in twos and threes.From time to time, there will be women's delicate laughter, the palace, the burial place of beautiful women and dead bones.Can't help sighing, shook his head and walked in.

Sitting on the top of the main hall is a woman in a red palace dress. She is well maintained, but there are still fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. I heard that this Empress Jingchun was with Emperor Zhou when he was the prince. Although the two are political However, they have always respected each other as guests. Emperor Zhou has always respected the queen very much and gave her everything except love. As for love, how could there be?
The woman in the red palace dress on the seat beckoned gently, smiled softly, and her soft voice was very bold...

"It's really hard for you sisters to come to my Jiaofang Palace so early..." A gentle smile bloomed on the woman's face. The queen's appearance was not outstanding, but the combination of her eyebrows and eyes was very dignified and imposing, and she was a beautiful woman. A very suitable candidate for queen.

"Sister Queen, don't say that. My sister treats my concubine so well. I am willing to ask you to be safe..." said a fifth-rank Baolin next to him, his eyes were obsequiously flattering the queen, and he timidly looked at the side cover. Pazi laughed at her concubines and shrank back in her seat.

"Zeng Baolin, you are still so timid..." The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief in her slender hand and laughed softly.The smile did not reach the depths of the eyes, as if she had noticed Jia Jia's probing eyes, the queen raised her eyes and looked over
"This one, isn't it Mei Yu's wife who was just promoted yesterday?..." The queen asked with some surprise on her soft face.Slowly pointing his hand over, his eyes flickered, he quietly hid his expression, and smiled more gently.

"Sister, don't you know that the emperor personally canonized it yesterday, but this is not a bedtime..." A rather beautiful woman sitting under the queen looked over with a look of jealousy, presumably this was Concubine Jing, Sure enough, as written in the book, the Jing family was jealous, and died on the Shangyuan Festival, and both mother and child died.

Concubine Jing wears a gorgeous pink palace dress with peony embroidered on the decoration. Both peony and peony are the kings of flowers. The pink palace dress that Zao Xiaotao brought over was exactly the same, she glanced at it in surprise, then lightly cast a glance at Xiaotao, who still had an unknown expression beside her, then turned her head and bowed to the queen above
"Empress Da'an, servant Xuemei pays respects to the Empress, the Empress is a thousand years old..." He made a big salute with his stomach outstretched, and saw that the Queen's complexion improved a little, and then stood up unsteadily.

"Since my younger sister is pregnant, it's better to go to the palace to raise the baby, and she will be spared in the morning and evening..." The woman in the red palace dress looked over gently, as if she was very concerned.

"Thank you queen, my concubine obeys the order..." Lazy Moujia, since she can not get up so early, of course she should sleep well in her palace.Although she felt that this meant climbing up the pole.

"Okay, you all go back, let's go..." The queen waved her hand and entered the inner room with a calm expression.When the beauties saw that the queen had also entered, they began to go back in twos and threes.

"Look, that pregnant woman is the newly-appointed Mei Yuwife. I really don't know how the emperor likes such a worn-out shoe..." A woman in green shirt said bitterly, discussing with the people next to her.

"That's right, look at her noble face, who is she pretending to show..." The woman next to her looked over with disdain, and a group of people pointed and pointed at Mou Jia in front of her.

Concubine Jing in the distance, looking at the beautiful back of the ink-colored woman in the distance, her usual bright expression is drooping, her face is no longer the proud and dazzling expression before, in the proud Danfeng's eyes, the eye sockets seem to be a little red, look After taking a look twice, he lowered his eyes, and said in a soft voice as the faint water drops fell from his eyes.

"Let's go, go back to the palace..." Allowing the maid to support her, she walked back slowly. Against the background of the fallen leaves, the desolate back became more and more lonely.Seeing that her master was in such a depressed mood, the maid in pink clothes couldn't help becoming anxious, and comforted her:
"Master, I'm just a royal wife, I can't threaten you, and besides, you have the help of General Jing..." the maid in pink said quietly
"No, I'm not afraid that she will threaten my status. When I entered the palace, I didn't come here for the status of this noble concubine at first..." the woman murmured, the look in her eyes became more and more depressed,
When she just entered the court, he said, Yan'er, even if I can't give you the position of wife, but I can give you the favor I can, how about Yan'er marrying me as a concubine?He said, Yan'er, I can't promise to marry only you, but I will definitely have you in my heart, so you have to believe me.Is all of this just like the colorful bubbles that will shatter under the sunlight? Sometimes she even wonders if these memories were only in dreams?
Concubine Jing's eyes were red and she helped her concubine to walk away slowly. The bleak fallen leaves, the woman's tragic expression, and the mottled light and shadow cast by the sun all added a strong color to this moment, rendering a more bleak atmosphere ...
