Beauty on the side

Chapter 165 Queen's Heart 3

The next day, I arrived at the Legislative Palace.

Two rows of oleanders are placed in front of the Legislative Palace. This season is ready to bloom. When the weather is hotter, the flowers should be full. Empress Changsun sat in the main hall drinking tea in a yellow robe, and there was another teacup on the opposite side. My arrival seemed to have been expected.

I gave her a blessing, and she invited me to sit down. As soon as she sat down, she opposite said, "Yesterday, the emperor came to my palace."

I smiled and said, "The emperor is considerate to the queen, which is really envied by others."

Empress Changsun put down the jade porcelain cup, with a majestic face and inquisitive eyes: "Yesterday, the emperor invited you to sleep in the Shenlong Hall, and then went to listen to the bamboo pavilion. You also reminded me to come to my government palace."

I gave up my head and looked at the oleander that was about to open at the door: "The emperor is busy with state affairs all day long. The empress is doing her best for the emperor. The emperor should have paid more attention to the empress."

Queen Changsun sighed, her eyes softened, and she said, "I know that you are going to be angry!"

Real? Stingy. I couldn't help laughing at myself. I obviously wanted Li Shimin to accompany me, but why did I repeatedly push him to other women? Even I couldn't tell why. After coming back and looking at the Empress Changsun, I came here today. She didn't ask me what I was investigating. She couldn't help but ask strangely, "The Empress didn't ask my concubine. Did the emperor say anything to my concubine after knowing that she was punished yesterday?"

Empress Changsun sank her eyes, got up and turned her back, looking at the swaying green branches outside the window: "The emperor will not speak so easily." She suddenly turned around, and her robe followed the window. The wind with the fragrance of flowers trembled gently, and her eyes turned deep and stared at me with a long heart. "There are more or less delusional rich women in this palace. How many people want to peep at the position you and I stand today. Stand firm and walk down step by step. Sometimes what you can see is just the surface, but what is hidden in it is the most dangerous and unsuitable thing to explore. Last night, the emperor didn't stay for a long time, but he talked a lot with me. Managing the harem is like governing the country. There must be some villains to inspire positive people to rush straight up.

Listening to this, I felt uncomfortable and said quietly with a wry smile: "What does the Empress mean... does it mean that the emperor's protection is to level the harem?"

She took two steps and looked back to bite out a word with extreme difficulty: "Yes."

My heart sank and muttered in an inaudible voice: "Your Majesty is really... well-hearted."

The light in the hall is very bright, and the heart is also illuminated with empty holes. The air is the fragrance of flowers, mixed with a variety of floral fragrances, which is inevitably a little sweet and greasy. I raised my head with a sigh, and saw the yellow figure in front of me suddenly tremble and stagger straight back. The maid in the palace was shocked and rushed forward to hug her. I stepped forward and heard her shortness of breath. Seeing her struggling on her face, she should be wheezing. The maid kept patting her chest. The skillful gesture was enough to ** Queen Changsun's sudden illness was not once or twice.

Two years ago, Empress Changsun accompanied Li Shimin touring the 90th Palace. On the way back, she suffered a cold and caused old diseases. After that, she was pregnant with the princess of Xincheng. After giving birth, her condition was getting worse and worse, and it was often said that she was often unwell. And this time, I suddenly gasped, and it was the first time I saw it. I couldn't help but panic and shouted outside, "Quickly pass on to the pharmacy!"

However, Empress Changsun struggled in pain, grabbed me and gasped, "Don't! Don't! Just be well, don't startle the emperor again!"

While holding her, I advised, "Don't neglect your body!"

She shook her head desperately, and the hairpin beads on her bun were restless. She grabbed my robe and said intermittently, "No... don't need to scream anymore."

I was confused. While the maid beside me was anxious to stroke the Empress Changsun's chest, she turned her head and explained to me, "The Shang Pharmacy has come to see a doctor. The Empress is already a chronic disease, and she can only drink medicine to relieve it. The Empress told the slaves and maidservants that the emperor was working hard every day. The Empress didn't want anything else to affect the emperor's governance, so she was not allowed to spread the medicine bureau and the spread of the disease.

I realized and said worriedly, "It's my concubine who is stupid."

Empress Changsun leaned against the soft collapse and her breath was a little calm. I sat next to her and patted her chest until she completely recovered. Her closed eyes finally opened slightly, and her face turned slightly pale. I immediately got up and knelt down with the maid of honor in the hall. I raised my head and said, "How are you? Anyway, please take care of yourself. I want to explain a few words, but I don't know if it's okay?"

Empress Changsun looked at me gently and nodded. I looked at the flowers outside the window and said, "The Empress is suffering from asthma. You need to move all the flowers outside the hall. When you travel, don't go to places with many flowers. In this season, the flowers are prosperous and pollen is the worst. You should sprinkle water on the hall every day. The meals from the food bureau should be light and eat less salty food. In addition, Call some tonic soup as a snack. The Empress is dedicated to the emperor and the Tang Dynasty, but don't ignore her body.

Empress Changsun raised her hand and waved to the maid of honor weakly: "Go on as Defei said."

I held her hand, and her slender fingers also held mine. I quietly stared at her closed eyes and her slightly gasping lips, and I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. I have heard of Empress Changsun's illness. Because she has been ill for a long time, Li Shimin has ordered to repair the dilapidated temples across the country as merit, hoping to make her recover. However, her condition does not seem to have improved. Even if I have been unhappy with her, she is still the woman I respect most. Her compassion, tolerance and geneaity are all models of the harem.

After I came back from the Political Palace, I kept wandering in the haggard face of Empress Changsun. I looked in the direction of listening to Zhuge. If it were Empress Changsun, would she help those who she didn't like or even enemies? The harem should not only be strong, and both soft and hard is the most effective way.

In the afternoon, I held a small porcelain bottle with a red lid in my hand and stepped into the bamboo pavilion. The sheet was lying on the couch, and I was shocked to see him coming. I ignored her disgusted expression and said with a smile, "Is it better to be full? I happen to have an excellent ointment in my hand. Do you want to try it?

The hateful eyes smiled sarcastically, and the corners of her pale lips moved slightly: "Concubine Xie De is kind, and my concubine's heart has taken it!"

I took the porcelain bottle and put it on the table: "Then use it."

"No, my concubine has used a lot of medicine. I'm afraid that if I use yours, it will be worse!"

Caiqi said resolutely, and my fingers holding the porcelain bottle suddenly paused, or put it on the table and buckled it heavily. When I turned around, my eyes were not as tender as before, only my eyes were full of dignity: "I'm kind enough to bring medicine to see you. It's okay if you don't appreciate it. Still unscrupulous. I don't care if you are injured. If it's unreasonable next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

turned her face quickly and took a cold breath after receiving my determined picking. I knew that she gradually changed her attitude towards me, but she ignored her and just smiled coldly. Her palm pulled the bed sheet under her body and pulled out ferociousness. She laughed wantonly: "Ha! You hurt me, and now you don't have to pretend to send me a plaster. I'm afraid this medicine is the dagger to remove your heart thorns!"

" Shut up!" Li Shimin strode from outside the door, waved his big sleeves, and his elite eyes swept the porcelain bottle on the table, but fell on the momentary fright. "The ointment sent by Defei was given by me. Didn't you say that I gave poison?"

The she was lying on the ground unsteadily. Li Shimin's question almost made her fall from the couch. At the loss of the edge of the couch, the maid of honor moved her in time to avoid another layer of injury. She frowned lightly, and the water in her eyes was faint: "I... I didn't mean that."

Li Shimin looked straight and said in a hard voice, "It's good to say that Concubine De is more powerful than you and helps the queen to control the harem. If you are still not respectful or disrespectful, I will definitely rule you no longer!"

No matter what kind of thoughts Li Shimin has about picking urns, he is also ordinary for the harem. Once someone endangers him, he will no longer show mercy. Hearing this, Caiqi immediately closed her weakness, biting her lower lip and couldn't say anything. Her eyes flashed with an inexplicable fire, as if everyone present had burned out. She dared to be so bold! In an all moment, her eyes and what Li Shimin said suddenly became a cold contest, and the temple suddenly became quiet and ominous.

Finally, with a helpless sigh, Li Shimin succumbed to the battle. He strode to her couch and pulled some bedding to cover her: "Although I spoil you, I also have to think about the overall situation. Do you understand?"

However, Cai Ner was also smiling because of Li Shimin's small action, and he was slightly innocent: "My concubine understood. The concubine is just the wife of the nine concubines, which is not as good as the status of the German concubine in the emperor and in the palace. The emperor should think about the overall situation, and my concubine should not be so stingy. She pouted her little pink jade mouth, full of grievances and sadness. Every word, every voice showed the woman's spoiled and delicate nature, but she spoke softly and delicately, which made people refuse.

Li Shimin was helpless and smiled softly: "Don't worry, what else are you dissatisfied with me these years?"

"It's gone." The sheer wept and leaned against Li Shimin's shoulder. Li Shimin was slightly stunned and still reached out to hold her. The two said that in front of me and made it really difficult for me to stay any longer. My chest was already full of breath, and there was nowhere to go. When he looked at Li Shimin again, his eyes also happened to meet me, and the breath in his chest suddenly turned into a flowing sadness and raised his eyebrows.

I slowly stepped forward and saluted Li Shimin: "My concubine quit."

Li Shimin's eyes moved and wanted to say something, but he finally swallowed it. I lowered my eyes, turned my footsteps, and resolutely stepped out of the bamboo pavilion.

I didn't go in the direction of Deqing Palace, and I don't even know where to go or how far I have walked. Unconsciously, there was a cold rain in the wind, and a maid hurried to Deqing Palace to get an umbrella. I was sure to stand under a leafy tree and look at a palace with broken columns. The palace stood behind a clump of unpruned grass and trees, emitting a cold and desolate smell.

That's the cold palace.

The sound of rain in front of the steps is broken, and the wide nine times add another scene. The woman in here dreamed of the world and finally became empty. The shadows leaned against the courtyard, and the pear blossoms flew in the air. Suddenly, they looked back and the wind and dust were full, and the lonely candle shook the red night and dried up. Even though yesterday's eyebrows were clouded and danced lightly, but now Shaohua has passed away, leaving only flying flowers and dream shadows, and the cold moon is shining.

He spoiled a woman like that, no, he spoiled several women like that, and eventually one of them was indifferent. If one day I lived in this place, accompanied by bitterness and desolation, and isolated from the world, would he remember that there was such a palace and the women in this palace? This is the only quiet place in the palace, and it is even more ruthless. And in this huge imperial city, which place is not a cold palace? In this palace, human feelings are too cold. Although everywhere you go, it looks like spring flowers blooming, but the unknown wind of talking and laughing is really chilling those who have seen through it.

The light drizzle floated in the sky, and the sound fell loudly. Behind her, a maid of honor came. She quickly opened a folding umbrella and lowered her body to persuade her, "Mother, it's raining and the wind is cool. Let's go back to Deqing Palace quickly."

I put down my eyes, turned around and left, leaving the cold place in the rain curtain.
