Listening to Little Sheng talking about the matters in the palace, he had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the You Lan Palace.
The words "Youlan Palace" were hung high in the hall. The pen was sharp and powerful. It was obvious that the person who wrote this must be extraordinary.
"Little master, this is the emperor's personal inscription, it's the envy of others.”Little Sheng said in a timely manner.
It was the Emperor's handwriting. Su Qi smiled. It seemed like she had never seen her husband in name. It was really ridiculous.
Su Qi lifted her feet and walked in. It was indeed to her liking. There was a small garden inside that looked like a Suzhou garden. The intricate paths were embedded in the middle of the trees, and there was a small pond on one side. The fake mountains also had their own shapes.
Su Qi did like it, but she felt that it would be inconvenient if she wanted to grow some herbs.
"Little master, please come in. This is the main hall, and of course, this is where little master lives. There is also an empty space beside the side hall. Originally, we wanted to plant some flowers and plants, but the emperor instructed that little master can decide on it yourself.”
Su Qi, who was looking at the environment in the hall, was a little confused when she heard this. What did this mean? Could it be that the Emperor knew what I wanted, or was it just a coincidence?
"Little Master, this is really beautiful.”Cyan looked at the rare decorations in the hall and was very happy.
"Little Sheng, bring the two of them down to take a look and settle them down.”Su Qi saw that Lü Rao had already finished preparing her things. She was afraid that she would still be busy for a while, so she decided to let them settle down first.
"Yes." After Little Sheng answered, he brought the two of them down.
Su Qi sat quietly on the soft couch and looked at the dreamy yet elegant room. She felt a little strange, but she could not grasp this feeling and could only put it down.
The second day after Su Qi entered the palace, she received the imperial edict and was conferred the title of Noble Su. It was strange that she was the only one who was not happy about her surname, but it was not considered a title. Since the imperial edict said so, she could only address her as such.
There was no empress in the harem yet. The Empress Dowager had gone to Zhiling Temple to pray for the country, so Consort Xian was temporarily in charge of the harem. Originally, Su Qi had to thank the Empress Dowager and get up early to pay her respects. However, Little Sheng told her that she did not need to go before the Empress Dowager was in the harem.
In this way, Su Qi could be at ease. She did not like to go out for a stroll and did not go to the imperial garden to 'meet' the emperor or something like that. The You Lan Palace was quiet.
It was as if the emperor did not have a person named Su Qi. Other than being a little abnormal when he conferred the title, he did not pay attention to her at all later on. This made Su Qi less troublesome.
In the beginning, Su Qi was still worried that the emperor would come because she did not like the emperor and did not want to serve him in bed. However, she knew that she could not make the decision herself, so she hoped that he would come later. However, he was also afraid that without the emperor's care, he would be treated coldly like those people in novels and television shows. He didn't care, but Cyan and Lü Rao would probably suffer.
However, it seemed like the thing she was worried about did not happen. The emperor did not come, but she did not know why no one came to bully the people of You Lan Palace. Su Qi thought that the novels and television were just lies.
Cyanosis was the least scheming, so she didn't take it to heart. She thought it was normal. Only Lü Rao knew that this was abnormal. Someone must have warned those people, which was why they had such a comfortable life now. But who was the person behind this? Emperor? General? Or Prime Minister Xiao?
After entering the palace for more than ten days, Su Qi had not seen anyone other than Youlan Palace. There were only three eunuchs in Youlan Palace. Little Sheng was the eunuch manager of Youlan Palace. The other two were the shy Little Mu Zi and the lively Little Bean. Su Qi could not remember the names of the four palace maids. She only gave them the names of Feng, Yu, Shuang, and Xue. They were called Luo Feng, Luo Yu, Luo Shuang, and Luo Xue.
These days, Su Qi had never left You Lan Palace. She hoped that no one would think of her and that she would be happy and at ease.
She asked Lü Rao to ask the people from the Internal Affairs Office to bring some seeds of medicinal herbs. Su Qi stayed in that empty space to work every day. At first, Luo Yu and the others wanted to come over to help, but after being rejected by Su Qi, no one came to this piece of land anymore.
The other newcomers in the palace had already met the Emperor one after another. Although the Emperor rarely entered the harem and rarely recruited people to serve him, it was still very easy to see him if one wanted to.
Luoyu was calm and collected when she was in trouble, but seeing that her master did not care about the Emperor at all, she became a little anxious. This palace was a cruel place. Although she did not know who was helping her master, it was not a solution to continue like this. She had to get the emperor's favor to be able to stand in the palace.
Another day came to an end. Su Qi lay on the soft couch and gently pounded her slightly sore arm. Today, the seeds had sprouted one after another. She hoped that the weather would not be cold anymore. Otherwise, all her efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
Lu Rao brought Luo Yu and Luo Xue in with hot water.
"Mistress, wipe your face first. This servant has already asked Little Sheng and the others to boil hot water.”Lu Rao took a towel that had been wrung dry and handed it to Su Qi.
Luo Yu walked to Su Qi's side and gently tapped her shoulder, giving her a massage. Because Luoyu's father was a doctor, but he could not cure himself. Luo Yu didn't learn any medical books, but she remembered the acupuncture points very clearly. Her massage skills were naturally better than ordinary people.
Su Qi gently wiped her face, but she thought that this ancient era was indeed not something that ordinary people could afford. They were used to being served so well by others. If they were to lose it all of a sudden, some people would not even wash their faces.
"Is there any news outside?”Su Qi wiped her hands and passed the towel to Lü Rao as she asked softly.
Although Su Qi did not go out or fight for favor, she was always concerned about the changes in the palace. After all, she could hide for a while but could not hide forever.
"I heard that Yao Xi, Yao Chang Zai, got his servant girl to slap Ling Yao, Beauty Ling, in the Imperial Garden. He said that his status was high, so it was only right for him to teach her a lesson. The Emperor had appeared like a hero after just one slap and had saved Beauty Ling. He had personally issued an edict saying that the two of them would swap positions. Now, there was one less Yao Changzai and one more Ling Changzai.”As Lu Rao spoke, she also smiled disdainfully. This Ling Yao really had some tricks up her sleeves, exchanging a position with a slap.
Su Qi smiled. With Ling Yao's scheming, it was within Su Qi's expectations that she would be promoted. She just didn't expect her to move so quickly. Su Qi didn't care about her and only asked,""Wasn't that Noble Xu very popular a few days ago? Why hasn't there been any news of her recently?”
"Her?" Lü Rao said doubtfully," It seems that she didn't come in smoothly. It's a little troublesome from time to time. The last time the Emperor summoned her as a concubine, she naturally caught a cold and hasn't recovered until today.”
"Cold?" Su Qi muttered softly," Luoyu, what do you think happened?”
Luo Yu's hand paused for a moment, then she pinched Su Qi's shoulder as if nothing had happened.""This cold is not that simple. I'm afraid that Noble Xu has offended someone.”
Su Qi nodded slightly." Lu Rao, although you're older, I'm afraid that Luoyu can see the affairs of the harem more clearly than you."”
"Of course. Luoyu has stayed in the Imperial Palace for many years, so this servant naturally has to learn.”Lü Rao's rare playfulness.
Su Qi looked at her helplessly, but she did not want her to lose her innocence. However, the palace was not a place suitable for innocent people to live.
Luo Yu frowned slightly, but she didn't know if she should say some words. She opened her mouth slightly, but then she remembered that she had just followed her master and was afraid that she couldn't gain his trust. It wouldn't be good to say some words, so she shut her mouth again.
Su Qi saw this and roughly knew what Luoyu wanted to say. She said,""It's not good to stick out too much when you just entered the palace. At this time, you should calm down and be careful.”
Luo Yu was smart and naturally knew that Su Qi's words were meant for her. Moreover, what she said was very reasonable. She smiled at Su Qi and focused on massaging her shoulders.
Su Qi was happy to see that Luo Yu was smart and obedient. She only hoped that she would be loyal. Otherwise…
"Master, the hot water is ready. Do you want to take a bath first?”Cyanosis hurriedly ran in and said with a smile.
Seeing Zi Gan so impatient, Lu Rao said worriedly,"Cyanosis, this is the palace. It's better to be steady in doing things. You can't cause trouble for the master.”
Cyanose also knew his character. He stuck out his tongue and lowered his head to admit his mistake." Lü Rao, there are no outsiders here. I will definitely not do it again."”
" You…" Lu Rao wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Qi.
"Alright, Lu Rao, you don't know Cyanosis's personality. Just watch her a little more. I want to take a bath. Go and ask Xiao Sheng and the others to bring the water in.”
Lü Rao went to look for Little Sheng right after she finished speaking. Cyanosis helped Suqi prepare the clothes she needed to wear before going to bed. Luo Yu also went down to prepare the flower petals and other things she needed for her bath.
After a while, Su Qi was already lying in the bathtub and taking a comfortable bath.
Inside the house, Su Qi was relaxed and comfortable, but the person outside was alone in the cold wind. Even the hair that flew in the air carried a chill.
She didn't try to curry favor with the Emperor, didn't she try to take care of everything? Did it mean that she didn't want to attract the Emperor's attention, didn't want to be the Empress, and didn't want that noble position?
At night, Xiao Chengzhe stood on the roof in the cold wind and looked at her in the room. He frowned. Every time he thought of this, his cold heart seemed to be moved.
These days, he couldn't control his footsteps every day. Even though he knew that the Emperor might find out and he might suspect him, he warned himself again and again not to come again tomorrow night. However, he still wanted to see her from afar.
Even if they had said goodbye that day, they would be strangers, but she still couldn't let go. Even if she was hung-over, she would still come here with her consciousness.
Forget it, forget it. In this life, I'm only here to protect.
It was not until the lights in the room went out and the moon set that Xiao Chengzhe disappeared into the darkest time before dawn.
If he was willing to enter the house, he might see Su Qi staring at a broken wooden hairpin in a daze and crying. If Suqi took a step out of the door, she might be able to see Xiao Chengzhe's gloomy figure. Unfortunately, no one took this step.
