Wanrou put down the needle and thread in her hand and went to the bathroom. Wanrou was bathing in the orchid soup while enjoying the fragrance of the orchid grass while listening to the nanny talk about the rules of serving. Wanrou remembered all of them and nodded. The nanny praised her for being generous and that she would definitely become the emperor's favored concubine in the future.
"Thank you for your praise, granny." Wanrou got up and walked out of the wooden barrel. She stepped on the Persian carpet and let the palace maids dry her body. Then, a group of eunuchs wrapped her in a blanket and carried her to Yangxin Hall.
Along the way, Wanrou's expression was very relaxed. She thought about how when she first entered the palace, her mother had told her not to always think about fighting for favor. She had to be dignified and gentle in order to be liked. The palace maids and eunuchs would definitely be very loyal, especially the elders. If she could win the Empress Dowager's favor, it would be much better than directly winning the Emperor's favor. In the future, if you can control the power of the harem, no one will dare to bully you.
As he thought about it, he arrived at Yangxin Palace Hall. The eunuchs placed Wanrou on the bed. The Emperor looked at Wanrou, who was wrapped in a blanket, gently. Wanrou leaned against the emperor's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Wanrou had never thought that the emperor would be so handsome. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall nose. Especially the way he looked at her, it was filled with love, as if he could melt her. It was as if I fell in love with this man in front of me at that moment. It didn't matter whether I was a concubine or an empress. As long as I could have a place in his heart, it was enough.
All the young masters who had been serving the Emperor every year thought the same. However, the Emperor still had the country, the Empress, and Imperial Concubine Xian in his heart. How could there be enough for these people? At this time, Wanrou and the Emperor were spending the spring night in the lotus tent. Who knew how many people were having trouble sleeping in the palace.
In the Fragrant Hall, Guan Ling looked at the empty courtyard. She knew that the Emperor would not be able to please her tonight.
" Mistress, go to sleep. It's already late and the Emperor has someone to wait on him. I just heard that it's Noble Lu from Jing Ren Palace…" Che Xuan whispered to Guan Ling.
Guan Ling took a deep breath and stood up from the bed. She went to the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table.
" Che Xuan, do you think a Chang Zai like me will be favored in the future…" Guan Ling's eyes were devoid of any anger as she stared blankly at her reflection in the bronze mirror. She was very resentful, resentful that she did not receive the emperor's grace.
Che Xuan helped Guan Ling remove the accessories on the flag head as she said,""Master, don't say that. I heard that the Empress Dowager was only a Chang Zai when she entered the palace. According to the past rules, the Emperor would visit every new talent. This Master could rest assured that as long as Master could make good use of this opportunity, wouldn't it be a matter of time before she became a concubine?”
Guan Ling looked at herself. That's right, wait, when I'm in bed, I'll beat all of you!
In Yanxi Palace, Zhi Ran was also suffering from insomnia. Since the Emperor did not invite her, it was likely that someone else was serving her. On the big empty bed, Zhi Ran lay alone. In the future, most of the days in the palace would probably be like this.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside the hall. Since she couldn't sleep, Zhi Ran got up and got off the bed.
"Water Deity? What happened outside?" Zhi Ran put on a piece of clothing and left the dormitory.
"Aiya, Master, don't be cold!" The water fairy draped another coat over her and said," Lady Yi Pin is dead. Master, please go back."
Zhi Ran was stunned. At this moment, the Emperor was enjoying the night with other women, but Yi Pin could only die alone. One palace, two worlds, one relationship, and several sorrows of separation. Zhi Ran couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about it, if she had known earlier, it would have been a good thing not to enter the palace.
The next day, Zhi Ran looked at the main hall, which was covered with white banners. She could not help but feel a little lonely. There was no crying inside, and it was terrifyingly quiet. It was said that when Lady Yi Pin entered the Prince's mansion, she was the dowry maid of Consort Zhe. She lost her parents in her early years. Now that she had passed away, there was not even a mourner. When she died, the Emperor wasn't by her side. Even after her death, the Emperor didn't come to see her, which inevitably made people feel miserable. In fact, although she had harmed people, it was still to get the emperor's love. It was just that she was a little ruthless, and now she had ended up like this.
"Master, close the door.”Water Deity pulled Zhi Ran back, and Fei Xing closed the door.
Zhi Ran sat there in a daze, not saying a word.
"Master, I know. You must think that Yi Pin is bleak, right?”Water Deity asked.
Fei Xing poured a cup of tea and said," Master, don't feel sorry for her. Yi Pin's actions are also retribution for her sins. Who asked her to harm the Emperor's son and cheat her of a concubine position?"”Zhi Ran sipped her tea and suddenly recalled Xiang Zhu's "Xiang Concubine's Resentment".
"Mistress, it's almost time. It's time to pay respects to the Empress at the Eternal Spring Palace.”Fei Xing helped Zhi Ran up and walked to Changchun Palace.
In Changchun Palace, Zhi Ran was not the first to arrive. She saw Ruoqin and Xiangzhu.
"Greetings to the Empress." Zhi Ran bowed.
The Empress smiled and said,"Get up." Noble Luo, bengong heard that Yi Pin passed away last night. Did you sleep well? Did those things disturb you?"
"Thank you for your concern, Empress. ChenQie is fine, but when I saw the white cloth of mourning in my eyes this morning, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.”
"That's right, seeing such an inauspicious thing so early in the morning, why don't bengong let you stay in another palace first? After forty-nine days, bengong will let the mage finish the ritual and you will go back?”
"Thank you Empress, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to move things around.”Zhi Ran declined politely.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
