The candlelight was dim, but a few red eye-catching scratches across the Emperor’s chest could still be seen under the light.
At this moment, the blood had dried up, but it stuck to the middle clothes. Consort Yue did not notice it when she unfolded his clothes, so the wounds bled again.
Yuan Lianniang covered her mouth subconsciously, and her tears could not stop falling.
She did this with a jealous mind originally, but she did not expect to see such a scene. No wonder when she fell into Emperor Chunjia’s arms just now, he was clearly stiff for a moment. She thought he had psychological reactance to her at that moment, but now she knew it was just because she pressed these wounds.
“That bitch!!!” Consort Yue who originally hated Yun Fenghuang very much wanted to rush to Xi Xing Building immediately and tear up that bitch! Fortunately, she kept the sanity in her mind.
As an experienced woman of sexual life, she had had
After a while, Noble Consort Shu forced to smile and said, “No wonder that Noble Consort Gui came late yesterday, and has not come yet today. It turns out to be such a happy event!”Empress Ji responded lightly, “My Majesty has no offspring so far. The Empress Dowager and the three Queen Mothers are very worried. Thanks to Noble Consort Gui’s pregnancy, I am relieved.”Since the two had started the topic, other concubines began to respond and said something such as that was good news, which showed a good sign for the country, etc.Since Noble Consort Gui did not have to pay respect, the rest of the concubines had arrived within a while. Then, the Empress led them to Mian Fu Palace.Queen Mother Ji of Mian Fu Palace had already received the news. She did not look very pleased. But in accordance with the rules, she still told the Empress to take more care of the one in Yan Lan Palace, “I have some nourishing herbs with high quality.
After a while, Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan were led to the Empress.After they paid respect to the Empress, the latter on the noble throne smiled lightly and asked before Yun Fenghuang spoke, “Cheng Gui Yun, are you here to plead guilty?”Yun Fenghuang respectfully said, “Yes, Your Highness.”“You are here alone?” Empress Ji said softly, “It’s just a hairpin, and you come here specially. You do know the rules!”It sounded like a compliment, but Yun Fenghuang knew that if she answered improperly, she would be very embarrassed at least, or at most... um, she could not imagine how the Empress would deal with her.After all, for the past two days, she first went to Tong Xia Palace to find Noble Consort Shu, and then came over to pay respects under the leadership of the latter. However, at this moment, she came here to plead guilty alone. Such behavior would be considered ruthless. Moreover, since the hairpin had been broke
When Yun Fenghuang and Nian Xuan arrived at the gate of Ning Bi Hall, two unfamiliar gate-keeping maids looked at them with hostility.However, they didn’t do anything improper or say anything bad before Yun Fenghuang approached. Seeing that she was about to enter directly, they reached out to stop her, saying politely, “Cheng Gui, please stop. Now My Lady is grounded. Without the permission of Empress Dowager, Queen Mothers, His Majesty or Her Highness, we cannot let you in.”Nian Xuan thought that these people might have been warned by Qing Die.“I dare not disturb My Lady.” Yun Fenghuang also said politely, “Here is the thing. When I came here before, a maid of My Lady had commanded that it was not allowed to play any instruments or dance in Hu Zhu Palace. However, His Majesty invited me to visit Tai Ye Pool. So, I have to ask My Lady for instruction. Can I dance for His Majesty beside Tai Ye Pool?”The two gate-keeping maids’ e
“Your Majesty!” Emperor Chunjia’s sudden movement surprised the maids who were waiting around him. Nian Xuan was even more scared. She knelt down on the ground and moved forward on her knees to plead, “Your Majesty, Cheng Gui is too young to know everything...”Emperor Chunjia looked ruthlessly and coldly at Yun Fenghuang grasped by him. This young lady was indeed young, as if there was still a trace of childishness between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her delicate skin in his hands also felt like an underage girl’s. But she was not naive definitely.Otherwise, she could not have such a calm look—compared to Nian Xuan who was nervous very much, Yun Fenghuang was still so calm.Even as Emperor Chunjia tightened his fingers, which made her breath become increasingly difficult and her face pale like that of a dead body, she remained calm.Without a trace of anger, grievance, resentment or hatred, what was happening was like a
“It seems that I can’t go back to Xi Xing Building tonight.” At the appropriate time, Yun Fenghuang was hiding in the woods and wringing the water out of her long and messy hair and clothes. She sighed, “I originally wanted to go to Ning Bi Hall to pay respects to Consort Yue on the way I went back to Hu Zhu Palace and told something cruel to… make her angry deeply.”To be honest, she originally planned indeed to go ashore secretly after swimming underwater for some time, and then she would find a way to solve the trouble. Helplessly, she joined the Imperial Harem too short to be familiar with the environment.Because the reeds beside Sha Lv Pavilion had not yet flourished this season, and Yun Fenghuang was afraid that she would be caught if she raised her head above water too early, so, she broke off a section of a reed tube under the water for breathing. She didn’t raise her head over the water secretly until she couldn’t breathe. Looking around quickly,
The young man looked indifferent, “I wanted to kill you directly...”He said the words in a flat tone, not in a murderous tone, but for no reason, he looked cold-blooded, not like just intimidating her.Yun Fenghuang just felt scared. After all, she speculated she was unlikely to beat him. Now she was the prey, and the young man was the predator. This feeling was... She forced herself to be calm and listen to him with respectful attention. She heard this man said, “But when I was about to do it, I saw the bruise on your neck...”Then he had compassion for her and decided not to kill her?Yun Fenghuang curled her lips secretly. She wouldn’t believe such nonsense.However, he continued, “Then I wanted to see the sequel.”“...” Yun Fenghuang was confused, “What sequel?”“There were two possibilities.” The young man said indifferently, “The first one was your target is me; and the second one was i
At this time, Empress Ji had come back from Mian Fu Palace, and had changed the Empress’s Diyi (the most honorable ceremonial robe with the embroidered patterns of Di bird) that she wore to pay respects just now into a set of light purple palace costume. She tied up her hair loosely, into which a pair of precious Dian (a kind of hairpin) with the patterns of hibiscus flower inlaid with red agate oppositely inserted. And there was also a green hairpin with the patterns of bamboo, plum blossom and lucid ganoderma. When she was supported by a maid to slowly step up, a pair of about a Cun (about 3.3cm) of pure gold pendants beside her ears were almost motionless. It showed that she was super elegant and dignified.“What a poor girl. Why did you swim to Small Peng Lai?” After Empress Ji who was supported by the maid’s hands sat down on her noble throne, she looked down at Yun Fenghuang underneath who had been kneeling politely, and said indifferently, “This morning, Noble Co
“Mother, if you have any instructions, just enjoin a eunuch to tell me.” Empress Ji frowned first when she heard Queen Mother of Mercy came, but her expression immediately turned to be respectable and affectionate and then she went out to greet Queen Mother of Mercy, “You elder don’t have to come here in person. This is really my fault.”Queen Mother of Mercy, who was called “elder” by her was actually not old. She was between forty to fifty years old and looked younger because of the superior living environment and the recipes for keeping youth.“You are busy taking charge of the Imperial Harem.” Ms. Yuan supported by the Empress got off the sedan, and patted the back of the Empress’s hand, saying softly, “I have nothing to do now. We are both in the Imperial Harem, and my residence is not far from here, so, it doesn’t matter.”She had a very different temperament from Queen Mother of Honor, Queen Mother Ji. Queen Mother Ji’s majestic manner w
