Chapter 68: Kneeling at the Palace Gate
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue's blushing face and stopped talking. If he continued, she would not be able to raise her head.
But seeing Lin Junxue like this, Xie Yu couldn't help but laugh again.
Gao Cheng, Qiao Xin and others stood aside, watching Xie Yu and Lin Junxue being so affectionate, and lowered their heads silently.
In the dormitory
A delicate cry came from behind the curtains on the bed, followed by soft sobbing, intermittent, each sound was deeply charming.
On the bed
Lin Junxue tilted her head slightly, her red lips slightly parted, and sweat dripping down her face.
Xie Yu looked at the infatuated Lin Junxue, his eyes also turned red, his breathing was hot, his voice was heavy, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Fairy, what a fairy!"
Lin Junxue stretched out her small hand and placed it on Xie Yu's shoulder, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she was charming and captivating, and her slender waist swayed slightly.
She looked at Xie Yu with misty eyes and her voice was extremely charming.
"Your Majesty, even if I am a fairy, I am only your fairy."
Hearing this, Xie Yu's dark eyes became even darker.
He leaned over, and Lin Junxue cooperated by stretching out her hands, holding his broad shoulders, and looking at the ceiling of the bed, but there was no lust in her eyes.
That night, Xie Yu called for water three more times, and after several hours, everything inside became quiet.
morning
Lin Junxue saw Xie Yu off, turned around and returned to the hall.
Qiao Xin poured a cup of tea and offered it with both hands, "My Lady, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Lin Junxue's throat was indeed a little dry last night because of cooperating with Xie Yu.
Qiao Xin continued, "My queen, do you want to notify them today? No need to pay respects."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and said slowly, "No need. If I exempt everyone from greetings today, who knows what kind of trouble will happen."
Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty is right. I am just afraid that someone with ulterior motives will spread some unpleasant words."
After a while, Xiao Fengzi, who was beside Gao Cheng, followed orders and brought the so-called tonic medicine, which was also the contraceptive medicine.
Lin Junxue drank it all in front of Xiao Fengzi, and Xiao Fengzi went back to report with peace of mind.
Zhonghe Palace
Everyone sat in their seats, waiting to greet Lin Junxue.
today
The atmosphere in Zhonghe Palace was very quiet, because everyone knew why. The queen suddenly became favored, so who could be happy?
Sun Manrou looked at Chen Xier who was sitting opposite her and finally found an opportunity.
For the next two days, the emperor flipped through all the cards belonging to Lin Junxue.
Although she felt uncomfortable, Chen Xier should not have an easy time either.
Sun Manrou covered her handkerchief with her hands and said with a smile, "Empress Xi, why do you look so tired? Did you not sleep well these past two days?"
Chen Mi paused holding the teacup, and the other concubines all raised their heads in a pretend manner.
Chen Xier looked at Sun Manrou with a cold gaze, "Empress Chen, I see that you are not in a good mood, so I won't bother you to care about me."
Sun Manrou was not angry at all this time, and there was a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Chen Xier looked at the sarcastic smile on Sun Manrou's lips and suddenly tightened her hands in her sleeves.
The other concubines looked at the two of them, not daring to speak, and could only pretend not to hear.
When Qiao Xin helped Lin Junxue out, Chen Xier was furious when she saw Lin Junxue's radiant face.
Even Sun Manrou, who had just ridiculed Chen Xier, didn't look very happy at the moment?
Everyone greeted her, "May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
Lin Junxue sat on a high seat, looking at the faces of the people below, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up and sat down again, looking at Lin Junxue's dazzling appearance, feeling extremely envious and jealous.
After the empress was confined to her room, she seemed like a different person. The emperor stayed in Zhonghe Palace for two consecutive days. It seemed that the wind direction in the harem was changing.
So everyone started to flatter Lin Junxue one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
Chen Xier sat in her seat, listening to the flattery of the crowd, her eyes became increasingly darker. In the past, it was her that was flattered by these concubines.
Chen Xier, who was sitting, found these words harsh and remained silent.
suddenly
Lin Junxue looked at Chen Xier and said softly, "Sister, you don't look very well. Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Lin Junxue's tone sounded very caring, and her expression was sincere.
Chen Xier had said this to the original owner countless times.
Chen Xier used this sentence again and again to secretly stimulate and hurt the original owner. Now, it's time to return it.
Chen Xier listened to the familiar words and looked at Lin Junxue's half-smiley eyes.
With so many people watching, she could only raise her head and reluctantly say
"It's okay, thank you for your concern, sister."
Lin Junxue continued to show concern, "Sister, if you feel unwell next time, just send someone to let me know. You don't have to come over to pay your respects. Your health is the most important thing. If you really feel unwell, the emperor will be distressed."
Every word Lin Junxue spoke was like a knife, stabbing Chen Xier's heart.
Chen Xier gritted her teeth, she suppressed her anger and had to smile against her will.
"I understand, thank you for your concern."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Okay, let's go today. Sisters, it's very hot right now, please be careful not to get too hot."
Everyone stood up quickly and bowed, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. I will take my leave."
After everyone left, Lin Junxue immediately said to Guyu beside her, "Guyu, hurry up, I'm starving, hurry up and serve breakfast."
I don't know which bastard made the rule that the concubines in the harem can only go back to have breakfast after paying their respects every day, and even the queen is no exception.
The entrance of Zhonghe Palace
Chen Xier looked at Shen Huachun and said angrily, "Mrs. Shen, you are so rude. Kneel down at the gate of Zhonghe Palace for two hours."
After saying that, Chen Xier left angrily with Zi Shuang.
Only Shen Huachun was left kneeling on the ground. The concubines standing around her looked at her with sympathy, but no one dared to step forward.
Just now, Shen Huachun said something to Chen Xier.
"Imperial Concubine Xi doesn't look well. I think we should call a doctor to take a look."
At first glance, Shen Huachun's words do seem to be out of concern for Imperial Concubine Xi, but in fact, everyone in the harem knows why Imperial Concubine Xi looks unhappy today.
Everyone thought that what Shen Huachun said was too stupid and inappropriate.
That's why she was punished by Concubine Xi to kneel at the gate of Zhonghe Palace for two hours.
Sun Manrou sat in the sedan chair and looked at Shen Huachun who was kneeling there pitifully.
Sun Manrou waved her hand, and the sedan chair stopped. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen, how does it feel to kneel here? If a person wants to climb up the social ladder, he should consider his own weight. Otherwise, he will become a joke in the eyes of others."
When Shen Huachun heard this, his face turned even paler and he began to stagger.
Sun Manrou felt very happy after seeing the joke and was sent away in a sedan chair.
After Chen Mi came out, he saw Shen Huachun kneeling at the gate of Zhonghe Palace and frowned.
Su Yueyi came up and explained the reason in a low voice.
A flash of doubt crossed Chen Mi's face.
Chen Xier always pretends to be kind and generous in the harem. Why would she be punished to kneel here in such a public manner just because of a word from Shen Huachun?
Isn’t Chen Xier afraid that the news will reach the emperor’s ears and ruin the image she has worked so hard to build?
