Yongning Palace.

Concubine Zhao was sitting in front of the dressing mirror with her hair on her hair. When she heard the news from the eunuch, the palace maid Qiu Ci, who was combing her hair, suddenly shook her hands.

Two black and soft hairs fell loosely between the comb teeth.

Qiu Ci's face turned pale and she hurriedly knelt down, "I deserve to die, please forgive me."

There was no fluctuation on Concubine Zhao's face, but she just looked at Qiu Ci lightly, and after a while, she said, "Get up."

Qiu Ci was anxious and looked up at Concubine Zhao for several times. She was sure she had no intention of caring about it. Then she got up and her lips were pursed tightly.

"I know you are nervous about me and don't plan to blame you."

Concubine Zhao whispered, her eyes falling on the bronze mirror, and a hazy and soft face reflected in the not-so-clear mirror.

Qiu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her courage, revealing confusion, "Master, Your Majesty... Why did he summon people to sleep with you?"

Since the establishment of the harem, Your Majesty has never summoned any concubines and has never stayed in other palaces.

His master met His Majesty in his early years and was the most concubine in the harem. His Majesty only came to drink a cup of tea once a month, and never summoned him to stay overnight.

But just the arrival once a month is enough to show the difference in His Majesty's treatment of his master, making other concubines envious...

But now, that Concubine Shen has been summoned for only half a year after entering the palace?

!

Why should she do it?

In terms of appearance, my master is not much worse than her!

Concubine Zhao felt Qiu Ci's indignation, but instead chuckled softly, "Isn't it normal for the emperor to summon concubines?"

What a fuss."

Qiu Ci said anxiously, "But Master, please treat Your Majesty with love, Your Majesty, he..."

She stopped the second half of the sentence in time, for fear of hitting the master's pain again.

Qiu Ci just felt that it was too unfair. Although the master was deeply affectionate with His Majesty, he received such rewards.

For the sake of His Majesty's great cause, the master was willing to go to the military camp to treat the wounded soldiers. Not only did he die of exhaustion, but he also ruined his daughter's reputation in vain. Otherwise, the daughter of the head of the Imperial Hospital would not be able to find a good family.

When the master was appointed as the queen of concubine, she was not arrogant or impatient. She was in charge of the harem affairs for His Majesty, and managed the harem in an orderly manner and could not find any mistakes.

In addition to handling palace affairs, she spent all her time studying medical skills and wanted to find a prescription for treating Your Majesty's head disease as soon as possible. For this reason, she even tried medicine with her own hands...

Your Majesty may not know about these things, but Qiu Ci was seen in his eyes, so he felt more and more distressed.

"I know what you want to say, but those jealous nonsense are no more beneficial than to make yourself trouble."

As Zhao Fei said this, her white fingers slashed across a row of luxurious hairpins in front of her, and finally chose a hollowed-out green phoenix head, and handed it to Qiu Ci, "Today, comb the small bun and use this hairpin."

"..." Qiu Ci was choked, but he could not refute it. He had to suppress the anger in his heart and continue to dress up.

After finishing his makeup, Concubine Zhao looked at the bright morning light outside the wooden window and was stunned.

"If I remember correctly, then Shen hasn't reached the end yet?"

She suddenly asked this question.

“…It seems.”

Qiu Ci whispered.

"I think I suffered a little last night."

Concubine Zhao ordered, "You go to Shangshi Bureau and ask them to make more foods to nourish qi and replenish blood in the past few days to send them to Jinxiuxuan.

After sleeping, it is time to replenish your body.”

Qiu Ci looked at the master in confusion, and saw that her face was quiet and quiet, she had to respond softly and go honestly.

There are all kinds of flowers and plants that can be used as medicine in front of the courtyard, and they are carefully taken care of by the palace servants, and they all grow lush and brilliantly.

Concubine Zhao stared at the flowers and plants, and there was a quiet place around her, and occasionally there were a few insects.

Before she knew it, her thoughts were also pulled far away.

It seems that in my memory it is also among flowers and plants that she met Yuan Xun for the first time.

At that time, he was not his Majesty, but just a young master of the Duke of Liguo, an existence with cold white skin and strange pupils, and was criticized and ridiculed by the world.

At the banquet, the children gathered together lively, and stood alone deserted, behind him was a tree full of lilac locust flowers.

As if he noticed her gaze, he looked up at her-

It was just such a shocking glance that in an instant, a strong emotion hit her.

She felt that they were the same type of people, and they were all arrogant souls that ordinary people in the world could not understand, and only they could understand each other.

Later, when she heard that he summoned the army to rebel, was poisoned and was in danger, she stole secret medicine from her home desperately and rushed to the military camp to deliver medicine...

His life was saved, but her reputation as a woman was ruined on the road.

He stared at her in rags and dust, and was silent for a long time. If the promise was accomplished, he would definitely protect her forever and for the most honorable period.

A small dragonfly flew past her eyes, pulling Zhao Fei's thoughts back to the present.

There was a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were wet.

A lifetime of glory, supreme honor...

Yes, he kept his promise.

She is now the most noble Concubine Zhao, using the most gorgeous jewelry in the world, wearing the most exquisite clothes in the world, and enjoying the most expensive and exquisite things in the world.

But what's the use of her asking for these?

What she asked for from beginning to end was nothing more than his love.

A man’s most sincere and passionate love for women.

"I'm asking for it..."

She raised her head slightly, trying to dry up the tears.

——

The breeze blows gently, and the sun gradually becomes stronger.

Acuo was lying lazily on the cool mat, feeling depressed.

Aunt An Xiu observed for a long time, but couldn't help it. She stepped forward and said carelessly, "My master, what's wrong with you?"

When you come back from Zichen Palace, you will look distracted."

Acuo raised his little head and asked listlessly, "Auntie, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Aunt An Xiu immediately replied, "Beautiful, the little master is the most beautiful and melodious person I have ever seen in my life."

Her tone was sincere, without any flattery.

Upon hearing this, Acuo held his cheek with one hand and said in a silence, "Then do you think His Majesty like me?"

Aunt An Xiu thought about this question before answering, "I should like it."

This is the first time that I have seen Your Majesty treat a woman like this in the years since I entered the palace.

Your Majesty’s enthusiasm for the little master is not as good as the Empress Zhao of Yongning Palace.”

Acuo asked again, "Does Your Majesty also like Concubine Zhao?"

"This... Concubine Zhao has been in love with His Majesty for many years, and it is understandable that His Majesty occasionally goes to her place to sit."

Aunt An Xiu was afraid of blowing the little master's emotions, so she quickly added, "But Your Majesty has never stayed in Yongning Palace, nor has she summoned Concubine Zhao to honor. You are the first person in this harem to stay in Zichen Palace!"

She thought this was already perfect, but Acuo sighed heavily after hearing this.

Now Aunt An Xiu was really confused, "My master, what's wrong?"

Acuo bit his lip, approached Aunt An Xiu's ear, and whispered about what happened last night.

After hearing this, Aunt An Xiu's eyes instantly glared like copper bells, and she said in a lost voice, "Didn't serve in bed!"

"Auntie, please keep your voice..."

Acuo's face was wrinkled like a bun, and she was under a lot of psychological pressure at this moment.

It was obvious that nothing happened last night, but the rumors outside were overwhelming, with noses and eyes, which made her not know how to deny it.

Alas, why do people in the palace have such fast mouths?

Aunt An Xiu was in a very complicated mood at the moment. She originally wanted to report the good news to the eldest princess...

It makes no sense. Such a beautiful little master is lying beside him, so he can't even control a man, right?

After a little trouble, Aunt An Xiu asked hesitantly with her eyebrows, "My little master, do you know why Your Majesty doesn't touch you?"

When she asked, the light in Acuo's eyes became dimmed even more, "I don't know either.

As my aunt said, I am pretty, and Your Majesty likes me, more than I like Concubine Zhao. Why is Your Majesty different from me giving birth to a baby together?"

She was immersed in a deep frustration.
