Story of the Forbidden Palace - C123
“Mistress, after your bath, go to sleep early!” Ning Xiang concocted a Hundred Grass Bath Soup for me. After soaking in it for a while, all the fatigue had disappeared and she felt much more comfortable.
I shook my head. “I’m not sleepy at all. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well again tonight.” Ning Xiang comforted me and said, “The emperor has sent Jin Douzi a lot of silk to Master. I heard that it was a design that was created by over twenty ladies who had been embroidering for three months. In the end, the Emperor still misses Master. ”
“Where does the Emperor sleep tonight?” Speaking of Xuanyuan, it seems like we got along really well these days. It’s just that I can still clearly realize that I no longer have that feeling of lips touching lips and teeth tightly connecting with one another.
Ning Xiang said: “I said that I went to Beauty Yan’s Liangshi and Weiyi’s place to see the Tenth Prince.” I nodded and stood up. Thick black hair clung to her body like a waterfall. Droplets of water dripped down her hair and body.
I spread out my arms and allowed the two Coarseness Maidservant s to wrap my body in silk. From resistance at the beginning to embarrassment after, and then now to the open and naked face of others, every one of my growth, made me sigh endlessly.
When I came out of the bathroom, I sat down in a soft chair, wrapped in a silk cloth. The two Palace Maidservant s, one on the left and one on the right, squatted at my feet and helped me wipe off the water stains on my calves. Two more Palace Maidservant carefully dried my black hair and combed my long hair.
Immediately, Palace Maidservant who was holding a snow clam paste in her hands brought out all kinds of newly concocted skin care products for me to choose from. The Palace Maidservant with eyes started to massage my shoulders and hands.
Was this the glory and honor of a woman who was the emperor? But what did it matter? I was lost in my thoughts. If I didn’t have such luxurious food, personal service, or such a luxurious life, what would I look like?
By entering the palace for Shi Wanyue, she would be able to enjoy all of this for her, and also be able to go against her original intentions for her sake?
Only Ning Xiang who was standing beside me could see that I was in a strange mood, and immediately ordered everyone to retreat. That was why she started to massage my shoulders. As she did so, she said, “Mistress, you don’t have to be so worried. Right now, the most favored concubine in the palace is none other than you, Mistress. It’s hard for others to get past you. ”
I still did not speak, but Ning Xiang said again, “Since Empress is aware of Xiu Rong’s unsteady birth, I believe you must have made some preparations. Of course I wouldn’t act rashly. Why should my master be afraid of others? ”
I nodded slightly. I already had a plan in mind, “Ru Mei’s fetus, must be preserved. “Not only that, but if you give birth to a prince, you still have to leave it to the empress to look after.” Ning Xiang was startled, then revealed a doubtful expression, “Hand it over to the Empress?”
“That’s right!” After all, only the empress has the ability to protect this prince. Otherwise, he would have been born successfully and would have definitely become the victim in the Four Imperial Consorts’s battle.
The morning of the next day, Ning Xiang had prepared a complete set of five blessings and auspicious palace clothing for me. I chose a peacock’s silvery-silver hairpin and placed it on top. The hairpin dropped down a few tassels that looked like peacock feathers, slightly shaking them before making a jingling sound.
This simple and elegant attire is only to pray for Yun Long’s blessings. Towards this young and weak life, my heart is filled with boundless guilt. If he hadn’t been so anxious to defeat the Noble Consort Mian at that time, he wouldn’t have implicated this innocent child.
The Emperor and Empress stood atop the main hall of the Blessing Palace as they basked in the fragrance. Noble Consort Mianshou held the charred and yellow faced Yun Xu behind him, closed her eyes and silently prayed.
