Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Harem

Since we had been out of the palace for a long time and some troubles arose, we didn't dare to delay any longer. After a brief visit, we set off to return to the palace.Although Dongfang Qingyao was in love, he had no choice but to wear a bamboo hat again and sent us back to the palace. At the gate of the palace, Dongfang Qingyao's depressed expression faded away, and he smiled slightly: "Shu'er, you will be leaving the palace soon, aren't you?" I nodded and said, "That's natural." Dongfang Qingyao raised a smile on the corner of his lips, and drove away in the car.For some reason, I felt that there was some bitterness in his smile.He just loves me very much and doesn't have the heart to disobey me, but he's not unintelligent.What I have done has long been beyond the reach of an ordinary woman.

Suddenly I wanted to hold him impulsively and tell him that I just want to go home. But Luo Luo was holding my hand, with a vague smile, and said: "He's gone! Did my sister go with him?" I pinched her arm a little shamefully, but Luoluo ran fast, giggling all the way; Lianhua panted behind her and said, "Wait for me, Shu'er, Luoluo!" By the time we changed our clothes and returned to Fenghuayuan, it was already past noon. The maids of Jianbi and Luoluo are wandering under the willow shade outside the courtyard, sticking out their heads to visit from time to time.Seeing the three of us running over, we gave a low cheer and surrounded us.

I saw that the faces of both of them were flushed, and there were many fine beads of sweat on their foreheads and nose tips. "Miss Shu'er, Miss Luoluo, my mother has asked you several times, and visited Xu Cairen again, and she is very angry to know that you have not gone!" Jianbi looked very worried. Lianhua exclaimed: "Ah, Concubine Shu knows? It's over, this time we will definitely scold us to death." Luoluo wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and said: "If you scold me, you can scold me, anyway, I've already gone out to play, so it doesn't hurt to scold me."

I smiled and said: "Your Majesty won't scold us so badly. The emperor entrusted us to her to take care of us. If our going out of the palace becomes a big problem, let the emperor know. She is also right. Naturally, she will help us hide it for the most part. " I turned around and asked Jianbi: "Has the emperor never been here?" Jianbi said: "Come here just after eating, without saying a word, Chang'an ordered to see you urgently, so I went immediately, but I didn't bother to ask the three girls." I startled.This Chang'an order is also hasty.

Thinking about it again, later things will change. Since Chang'an Ling is willing to openly help Su Xu to get people, he is a loyal Wei Wang party, and he has caught the prince's confidant, so he naturally wants to report the matter to heaven as soon as possible.If it is not reported in time, it may be too late once the prince intervenes or makes other preparations. I don't know how Li Shimin will deal with this matter.But I guess, this round, Wei Wang will definitely win.That handsome young man is probably near the end of the world. The three of us walked slowly into the Fenghua Courtyard on tiptoe, and caught a glimpse of Concubine Yang Shu propping her head on her hands, leaning in front of the bed by the window, with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.There were very few palace maids, only one stood behind Concubine Yang Shu with a fly whisk to drive away insects, the other knelt on the ground and hammered Concubine Yang's legs, but she was weak, looking closely, she was clearly dozing off.

Just about to go around quietly, Concubine Yang Shu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Three girls, come this way." Concubine Yang Shu didn't open her eyes, but there are only three of us who can call Concubine Yang Shu a girl.If it wasn't for her sloppy but very clear enunciation, I almost thought she was talking in her sleep. After looking at each other for a moment, we could only move in slowly. There are still fresh spices in the incense burner, and the cigarette smoke is lingering, lingering like silky light smoke, rolling up round and round, and then turning into thin fragrance, disappearing.But in this sleepy summer afternoon, the effect of this subtle fragrance is extremely limited.

Concubine Yang Shu sighed helplessly, and asked, "Is it fun outside?" Luoluo muttered: "Of course it's much more fun than in the palace!" I hurriedly said: "I heard that the big Buddha in the temple is very effective, so we also went to ask for a few lottery. Concubine Shu is weak, so I kowtowed a lot to Concubine Shu." Concubine Yang Shu said: "Is it just asking for Buddha?" Concubine Yang Shu has been able to establish a foothold in the palace for so many years, and she has the third son of the emperor who is as wise and powerful as Li Shimin, the king of Wu, so she naturally has her foundation and team.The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and she commits herself to the king of the new dynasty. Her city and wisdom will never be as weak as her appearance.What's more, Li Shimin left in a hurry, it's no wonder Concubine Yang Shu didn't send someone to find out the details.So she should have known about the conflict between us and Xinxin.

I lowered my head and said, "We accidentally ran into a young man from the Prince's Mansion, and we had some unpleasant troubles." Concubine Yang Shu raised her slender eyebrows, which seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and a fog of bewilderment filled her eyes. "Oh, prince, you are the future monarch. Your courage is a little too big." Concubine Yang Shu stood up, separated herself with a handkerchief, and gently lifted the bronze cover of the incense burner. The maids hurriedly handed over the spice trays. Concubine Yang Shu picked up two pieces with her slender fingers that were still as smooth as jade, put them in the incense burner, and poked them with the fire again.The dense smoke steamed up, covering Concubine Yang Shu's face so clearly that she couldn't see clearly.

Amidst the curling smoke, Concubine Yang Shu's voice was a bit ethereal, like a sigh: "My Ke'er, it's time to come back." Perhaps because of the mention of the prince, Concubine Yang Shu finally couldn't help mentioning her son. The third son of the emperor, Li Ke, the king of Wu, had a very good reputation and won the favor of the Tang emperor.At this time, they are patrolling the border according to the order, exploring the increasingly stable great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty. This is another legendary prince.Many people in later generations said that if Li Ke had become emperor, Wu Zetian's incident would never have happened.

Unfortunately, Li Ke is the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang. Concubine Yang Shu's weak face was finally revealed after the smoke died down, and she said with a gentle smile, "When the time comes, you will be able to see him." Her eyes rolled across our faces, quiet and silky as satin.When it turned to me, she paused for a moment, bowed her head and smiled, she was charming and self-sufficient, I felt pity for her, and I could no longer tell that she was a middle-aged woman of nearly forty years. This look obviously meant something, but I was puzzled for a long time, and I couldn't understand what she meant.

Concubine Yang Shu turned her head, and said: "I'm very tired, so I went back to my bedroom to lie down. You should be prepared. When you see the emperor, you can say whatever you want. The emperor loves you so much that you don't even think about it. " The maids hurriedly opened the curtain for her, and let her saunter in. The silky silk dress hangs on the ground, blowing the light emerald green sash, floating and swaying on the vermilion carpet, reflecting the stunning late-night beauty even more gracefully. She told us to say whatever we had, but it was beyond my expectation.Concubine Yang Shu obviously intends to have us come forward to testify against Mr. Xixin's evil deeds if necessary. After thinking about it for a moment, I understood.Her Ke'er is coming back soon. With such a mother and a father like Li Shimin, Wu Wang Li Ke must be handsome and smart!For the handsome and intelligent son, the mother should also place considerable expectations!This elegant and beautiful woman finally couldn't escape the vulgarity and was involved in the battle for the succession. It's a pity that no matter how handsome and extraordinary a child is, it can't match the tragic fate of the descendants of a subjugated country. I don't feel any sympathy for this King Wu who has never met. Unfortunately, I can only watch from the sidelines, watching all the tragedies happen, and being a bystander of history. Suddenly he became sad, and continued to stay in Datang, witnessing the destruction of all good things, was obviously a kind of torture.That kind of sadness dilutes Luoluo's joy of taking a step closer to the Tubo queen.As for Xinxin, after I saw his simple and clean eyes suddenly appear, the old hatred and hatred towards him actually dissipated, and even after he was arrested, I didn't think there was anything to be happy about. When they returned to the room, they were already hungry, and the three of them ignored the image of everyone's ladies, and swept away the food served by the maid, and then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and laughed. Then Lianhua asked in a low voice: "Two sisters, tell me, what will the emperor do with that pleasing son this time?" Luoluo said: "How can we deal with it? The crown prince will definitely come forward to protect him. At most, he will give him a few slaps, and then chop off the one who did the killing, and finally let him go?" Lianhua snorted a little aggrievedly, and said, "That Qin Xin looks so pitiful. Oh, the two of them who loved each other just disappeared." The maid has already removed the dishes.Lianhua took out the pair of clay old men she bought at the temple fair, lay down on the table, and stroked the chrysanthemum-like wrinkles on the old lady's forehead. Luo Luo also sighed quietly: "Oh, it would be great if they can live to the age of this Tao man!" I smiled and said: "Yes, I hope that when we are old, we can still have someone to accompany each other, rely on each other, watch the sunset and the sun together, and climb the tall buildings with the moon." I hum an old modern song: Luoluo and Lianhua are fascinated leisurely. In Lianhua's eyes, there was already a crystal clear color, I don't know if it was sad or moved. Lianhua murmured: "Where is this song? It sounds so good! We grow old together, so old that we can't go anywhere. I don't know if I'm lucky enough to meet someone who will be with me for a lifetime!" He was talking about something, blushing, and leaned on the table with a smile. Luo Luo said: "Oh, I just need to play with you until I grow old." While talking nonsense, someone from the palace hurried over and said: "Three young ladies, the emperor ordered you to meet me at the Wude Palace!"
