Volume 1: The Life of a Palace Maid Chapter 12 Sleeping

A young eunuch stepped into Yanxi Hall, walked to Concubine Hui, and whispered to her with his ears.

"The emperor laughed."

Concubine Hui nodded and nodded to the personal palace maid beside her. The palace maid led the eunuch down to receive the reward.

Not only Li Yu has eyes and ears, but Concubine Hui also has eyes and ears and ears and ears around the emperor. If she could bring back valuable information for her, she would give her no hesitation.

For example, this time, although the other party only brought four words, every word was worth a fortune.

"Since the emperor is smiling, I guess I'm in a good mood tonight." Concubine Hui thought to herself, "Maybe..."

"Empress, what are the happy events?" Jiapin asked with a smile.

Concubine Hui glanced at her quietly and smiled, "It's nothing."

In addition to her, Yan Xi Hall also had Concubine Xian, Concubine Yi, Concubine Wan and others. The concubines sat upright on their chairs in their positions. They were not talking about family matters at night, but were waiting for the emperor's summons.

This is true tonight, every night, and the green-headed sign with the names of the concubines was sent to the Hall of Yangxin. Everyone looked forward to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would pick up his own sign.

"The emperor has not had a successor to sleep for many days." Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Jiapin changed the topic tactfully and sighed, "Why don't you have to rest alone tonight?"

Everyone was worried about this, even Concubine Hui was in a heavy mood.

Although she has a high position and power, she says one is one, two is two in the harem. Even the queen sometimes has to act according to her expression. In fact, she has a heart disease - she has no children.

The beauty is as old as a flower. One day she will grow old. The most deficient thing in the palace is the beauty like a flower. The young beauty will still pick up her green head card at that time? No.

"I really want to have a child..." Concubine Hui couldn't help thinking.

Raising children to prevent old age is the case in the people, and even more so in the palace. When their faces grow old, what else can you rely on? Of course, there is only one who can be the one who is under the knees. Even if this child is a little stupid, he is still a prince who is enough to be the backing of an elderly mother. If he is lucky, smart, talented and virtuous, and likes the emperor, then in the future... even the Empress Dowager can have a good position.

Concubine Hui stroked her unscrupulous belly and was even more reluctant to share the news she had received before. If she could decide everything, she would want Li Yu to hand her green head card to the emperor. Waiting was so anxious that she stroked her fake nails with tortoiseshell inlaid and asked casually: "By the way, why didn't you see Concubine Chun?"

"Empress, Concubine Chun suffered from a cold and was not well yet. She couldn't come tonight." Jiapin replied, as if she always knew a lot of things.

Concubine Hui looked at her for a little longer and said lazily: "Only half of them are sick on 365 days a year. This is really a disease Xi Shi."

"What the Empress said is." Guiren Ying hurriedly found an excuse to get closer to her: "Sister Chun Fei is a little weaker and is sick every few days. Yesterday we discussed going to visit her."

"What are you going?" Concubine Hui said with a smile, "Concubine Chun is sick, and she is cared for by the queen. Why do you and I worry about?"

Guiren Ying was choked up by her words and didn't know how to answer immediately. After a long time, she responded weakly: "Yes."

When the other palace concubines saw her hit a wall, they became even more silent. Everyone wanted a backer and everyone wanted to climb the high branch of Concubine Hui. However, she was moody and it was hard for ordinary people to guess her preferences. If she was not careful and annoyed her, she would be sad in the future in the harem.

Concubine Hui played with her fingernails for a while, and suddenly said, "Where is Guiren Yu?"

The room was quiet and no one answered for a long time.

Concubine Hui raised her eyes and fell on a beautiful woman in green: "Pin Yi, what about you, where is your good sister, Guiren Yu?"

Not everyone in the harem targeted each other, and occasionally there were like Concubine Yu and Concubine Yi. Although they were not biological sisters, they were better than sisters. They always supported each other and comforted each other.

Yipin calmed down and stood up to return to her words: "Return to the words of the Concubine, Yu Guiren was unwell and had a falsification..."

"Oh?" Concubine Hui supported her temples with one hand, "Another physical discomfort..."

She asked casually and passed the time, but unexpectedly, a hint of nervousness appeared on Yipin's face.

Before Concubine Hui could express the profound meaning, Jiapin smiled and said, "I don't know what evil wind has blew in the Forbidden City recently, and they all fell ill. It seems that they want to ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for everyone to prevent it."

"What about Concubine Yu?" Concubine Hui stared at Concubine Yi's face, "Have you ever asked the imperial physician to see it?"

Perhaps knowing that her previous nervousness attracted her attention, Yipin insisted on calming herself: "I originally wanted to invite the imperial physician to take a look, but Arong has been afraid of taking medicine since she was a child, and she only coughed slightly. I think it's okay, I guess she will be cured in a few days..."

When she replied, Concubine Hui kept staring at her face, her eyes as if she was a saw, and the cold light was fierce, as if she was about to cut her brain open in the next second to see what thoughts were hidden inside.

But at this moment, as soon as the door opened, the eunuch Li Yu walked in from outside.

Concubine Hui's attention was suddenly attracted by him, and together with the concubines present, he turned his longing eyes to Li Yu.

Li Yu was so green, with a whisk on his elbow, saluted the concubines, and then said the two words they least wanted to hear in the longing eyes of the concubines: "Call the whole thing!"

These two words shattered the thirst in the eyes of the concubines. It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Therefore, Concubine Hui was the most disappointed among them. She couldn't help but ask: "Why did the emperor rest another person?"

Li Yu smiled apologized and said, "Empression is piled up like a mountain. The emperor wants to correct it overnight. Today, the empresses will not be allowed to wait."

Concubine Hui smiled coldly, immediately stood up and walked out the door. It was a rare and ordinary thing to put such rude behavior on her. Looking at her leaving back, Concubine Yi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and together with the other concubines, he respectfully shouted to her back: "I'm sending the Concubine to the Concubine!"

The night fell, and as the palace concubines returned to the palace one by one to sleep, a heavy ruler suddenly fell in the palace maids' house.

"ah!"

"It hurts so much!"

"Who is it?"

Screams came one after another, and the little palace maids woke up from their sleep. They were about to attack the other party, but when they opened their eyes, they saw Aunt Fang's cold face, and their chests were filled with anger melted like snow. They climbed out of bed like quails and shouted respectfully: "Aunt."

Aunt Fang held the ruler in her right hand. The ruler was thick and long, like a chair leg. She slowly knocked on the palm of her left hand with the ruler. Her eyes swept across the face of the palace maid one by one, and finally fell on Jixiang's face, and said coldly: "How did you sleep?"

Jixiang was stunned. He raised his hand and wiped the saliva remaining on his mouth, and smiled and said with apologies: "How else can you sleep when you sleep? You just lie down and sleep."

"Who promises you to sleep while lying down?" Aunt Fang scolded coldly, "Sleeping back to the sky is a curse God, and you will be punished by God. There are no such unruly servants in the palace! Let me go to bed and sleep again!"

Everyone looked at each other until Aunt Fang's ruler twitched to Jixiang: "Why not hurry up!"

The palace maids hurriedly climbed back to the kang. Aunt Fang's preface was here, and they didn't dare to lie down and sleep on their sides or lie down, but they were beaten by Aunt Fang for a while.

"Legs, you have to reach the Shenwu Gate!"

"And you, put your left hand on your waist!"

"I can't even sleep, I should fight!"

The heavy ruler fell like raindrops. Some of the youngest ones in the grade were knocked to tears, but they did not dare to cry out for pain. They could only bite their lower lip and do as she said.

Until everyone was lying on the kang sideways, and at first glance, it seemed as if the figures of the same mold were burned out. Aunt Fang then took back the ruler in her hand and said coldly: "Remember this position, don't forget to fall asleep! Let's go!"

After saying that, Aunt Fang led the two great palace maids beside her to leave.

After she left, a low crying sound rang out in the room, covering her face, for fear that Aunt Fang would hear her, and seemed to leak out from her fingers.

"Yingluo." Jixiang rolled up his sleeves and said to Wei Yingluo with tears in his eyes, "Auntie makes me feel so painful. Please help me see if the back of my hand is purple?"

There was no light in the room, and Wei Yingluo could not see clearly whether her back was blue or purple with the thin moonlight shining through the window. What if it was purple? The palace was very strict, and it was natural for the big palace maids to beat them like them, and there was no place to seek justice.

"Yingluo." Jixiang quietly moved his bedding to Wei Yingluo, like a child who was beaten outside, seeking comfort and warmth from his family, "Can you hold me to sleep?"

Wei Yingluo stroked her cheek and smiled gently at her: "No."

When he saw her smile, Jixiangman thought she would agree to him, but he didn't know that he would get the completely opposite answer. So he was stunned and asked, "Why?"
