lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the East Palace!

I came down and pulled Peizhao upstairs. There were braziers everywhere in Mingyufang, which was so warm and uncomfortable. Yueniang is the top oiran of Mingyufang, and when she opened the curtain in front of her room, the fragrance smelt. Several people greeted us and kept us in. Pei Zhao was not used to such occasions, so I blasted all those beauties out, and then only left Yueniang to accompany us for a drink.

In the middle of the night in Naoteng, I was also hungry. The cook at Mingyufang did a good job, otherwise I wouldn't always be here. Firstly, it was a contract with Yueniang, and secondly, because of their good food.

I ate a full meal, and forgot all the discomfort of blowing snow upstairs. Yueniang is holding the pipa, stroking the strings lazily, and sings without a word: "If you don't have love for life, you will be love for love, and you will be love for love. The body is like a floating cloud, the heart is like a fly, and the air is like a gossamer..." /

Her voice is lazy, as if she is really angry, she really has a lovesick tone. I took a look at Pei Zhao: "Why don't you eat?"

"My son, please be free, I am not hungry."

I think he has improved compared to before, at least he no longer has one end. I took the chopsticks and pointed it to him: "The fish fillet here is the best in Beijing. It is made with Persian spices and is not fishy at all. Would you like to try it?"

I highly recommend the fish meat, so he tried it.

On the way back to the palace, Pei Zhao suddenly asked me: "Is the woman of the right talent the old favorite of the Chen family?"

I didn't understand it for a while, so he asked again: "Is the Yueniang who played the pipa just now whose surname is Chen?"

I nodded, and took the opportunity to tell him about Yueniang's family background, describing her as pitiful and pitiful.

You can already see the high wall of the East Palace in the distance, Pei Zhao stopped, and suddenly said to me: "Prince Princess, there will be a sentence at the end, I don't know if it is inappropriate to say it."

I hate people going around like this, so I said: "Just tell me."

He paused before saying: "The princess is innocent by nature, but the East Palace is a place of right and wrong. As the prince, his position is even more embarrassing. In the end he thought that the princess still should not interact with people like Yueniang. ..."

I have never felt that Pei Zhao is so annoying, so I sneered and said: "I know that you are all relatives of the emperor, and I look down on women like Yueniang, but I told my friends to stop talking, then I can’t do it! I don’t have the snobbery like you, and I will not make friends with her because she is powerless and powerless. That’s right, Yueniang is a woman of the wind and dust, and I’m really picking up General Pei tonight! Please, General Pei Don't worry, I won't take you to such a place anymore. You can be your son-in-law with peace of mind!"

Probably I have never spoken to Pei Zhao so sharply, so after speaking, he did not speak for a long time. Only the sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow was heard, here is a road, all paved with bluestones of two square feet. The snow was still falling, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground, and the horse slid very slowly.

Walking all the way to the south wall of the East Palace, I ignored Pei Zhao.

I didn’t know that the changes that followed were completely beyond my expectations. Because the new year is about to be celebrated, there are many ceremonies in the palace, and there is no queen this year. Many things have fallen on me. The imperial wives inside and outside will also have hajj and banquets... Although the harem is temporarily presided over by Concubine Gao, she is only a concubine after all. . Yongniang told me that many people were watching Yuanchen Grand Ceremony, wondering whether the emperor would let Concubine Gao preside over it.

"Will Gao Guifei be a queen?"

"The slaves dare not speak falsely." Yong Niang said to me respectfully. I know she will not express opinions on such matters casually, and she also told me: "The prince concubine should not discuss this matter, this is not something that a daughter-in-law should be involved in."

I think I have a lot of worries recently, which is more annoying than caring about who is the queen.

For example, Zhao Liangdi recently deducted Xu Baolin’s expenses. Although Xu Baolin was honest, her servants were not vegetarian, and they quarreled. Instead, they were trapped by Zhao Liangdi’s people, saying that they stole things from the warehouse. To drive them out of the East Palace. Finally Xu Baolin came to me to shed tears, and I had no choice but to ask me to look at the books, manage the expenses, and worry about presiding over those things, but it was killing me. I had to comfort Xu Baolin, but two The palace people were still kicked out of the East Palace, so I had to ask Yongniang to pick two people again for Xu Baolin. In addition to these trivial matters in the East Palace, what is more important is that the Empress Dowager occasionally catches the wind and cold. Her illness does not matter. The whole palace is tightly clutching a heart, after all, she is a seventy-year-old man. I didn't need to save time every day in the morning and evening, but now the rules have been established, and I have to go to Shouning Palace to serve decoctions every day. Another example is that Li Chengyin accidentally twisted his ankle while playing polo. Although walking was not a hindrance, but because he recovered from his injury soon, something like this happened again. The emperor was furious and summoned him to give him a harsh sentence. , After returning, Zhao Liangdi didn't know why he angered him. He actually slapped Zhao Liangdi. Now it was too much trouble. Zhao Liangdi was so angry that he was crying. Everyone tried to persuade them to persuade him. How could Li Chengyin's temper be good? He immediately walked away and stayed alone in the main hall for several days.

Yong Niang repeatedly advised me to see Li Chengyin. I knew what she meant, but she ignored her.

Unexpectedly, I didn't go to see Li Chengyin, but he came to me.

There was a little snow that night, and the weather was too cold. There was a smoker in the temple, which made people sleepy. So I went to bed early and Li Chengyin came suddenly.

He only brought an internal officer. If Adu hadn't been alert, I wouldn't know if he was in bed. When Adu shook me up, I was sleeping soundly. I yawned and rubbed my awkward eyes and looked at Li Chengyin. I only felt strange: "What are you doing here?"

"Sleep!" He got angry, sat down and stretched out his feet. The inmate took off his boots and wanted to undress for him. He waved his hand, and the inmate dropped out. As soon as A'du woke me up, he didn't know where he had slipped.

I yawned again and fell asleep to myself. If it weren't for Li Chengyin to pull the quilt, I couldn't wake up.

I stupidly gave him half of the quilt, but he posted it, and didn't know who took off his clothes in the end. He only wore a chiffon shirt. The man is so hot, so warm, like a brazier. Especially when he stretched out his arm, it happened to be in the fossa of my neck, then he put his arm around me with his backhand, and pulled me into his arms. Although it is very warm, but I feel very uncomfortable, especially after sleeping for a while, I can’t help it: "Don’t vent your breath on the back of my neck..."

He didn't speak, and continued to kiss the back of my neck, still biting me like a puppy. I was bitten and itchy, so I couldn't help pushing him: "Don't bite, bite me again, I can't sleep." He still didn't speak, and then bit my ears. I was most afraid of the itching of my ears. I laughed and made my whole body soft. He took the opportunity to unzip my clothes and I woke up completely in a hurry, "What are you doing? "

Li Chengyin gave me a bite, and I suddenly understood what he was going to do, and suddenly kicked him away: "Ah!"

This kick made him almost fall out of the bed without turning his back on his back. The tents were all twisted on his face. It took him a long time to open the tents wrapped around his face and stared at me angrily and anxiously: "How are you going back? Matter?"

"You want...that...that...go to Zhao Liangdi!"

I don't want to be Zhao Liangdi's stand-in. Although I like Li Chengyin, I don't like him doing this to me.

Li Chengyin suddenly chuckled: "So you are jealous."

"Who is jealous?" I rolled my eyes, "Don't make yourself up there!"

Li Chengyin finally couldn't help correcting me: "It's self-love!"

I always make mistakes in idioms, but as soon as he corrects me, I am happy: "You know it's a passionate one! Go to your Zhao Liangdi, or Xu Baolin, they are all looking at you anyway!"

"What about you? You don't want me?"

"I have someone I like!" I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart, but the person I like doesn't like me, and I want to speak hard in front of him, "I don't want you, who would you like to find I don’t care who I go to, even if I marry ten or eight Liangdi, Baolin."

Li Chengyin's face suddenly became hard to look at. I used to say Zhao Liangdi in front of him, and his face was not so ugly. After a while, he suddenly sneered: "Don't think I don't know anything, it's Peizhao!"

I gazed at him gapingly.

"Don’t forget your own identity, you are a married woman. Oh, I know, anyway, you Xiliang’s folkways are corrupted. You are not afraid of shame. You slip out of the palace and mix with Pei Zhao all day long. Shame!"

I didn’t expect that he would know about my going out of the palace, and I didn’t even expect that he would know that I had a drink with Pei Zhao, and I became furious: "You married a woman and married a woman, I I didn’t do anything bad when I went out of the palace, and General Pei and I were innocent..."

Li Chengyin smiled instead: "That is, with the courage of Pei Zhao ten thousand, he dare not to be innocent with you. Besides, he is about to marry Luo Xi, our heavenly princess is not like you. The cold woman is really... frivolous in nature!"

The last four words completely irritated me. I jumped up and slapped him, but he avoided too quickly, so my slap was only on his chin. I was trembling with anger: "You are messing with those messy women all day long. I have never said anything. Pei Zhao and I have only drank wine a few times. Why do you say that to me? What about our Xiliang women? Well... you are relying on your multitude... If it weren’t for your father to force my dad to get married, would my dad be willing to marry me so far? If it weren’t for you to deceive others, I would marry you Huh? We Xiliang's man, which one is not stronger than you? Do you think I want to marry you? Do you think I am very rare for this princess? The person I like is a thousand times stronger than you and ten thousand times stronger than you! You! Not even a single strand of his hair can match..."

Li Chengyin was really angry. He didn't even wear his coat and got out of bed angrily. He walked all the way to the door of the inner temple, then turned to me and said, "Don't worry! I will never come again. Just think about that person who is a thousand times and ten thousand times stronger than me!"

He was so angry that he didn't even wear his boots, and he didn't know how he got back barefoot.

I pulled up the quilt and covered my head, feeling very sad. I ran off Li Chengyin because I knew that he liked Zhao Liangdi. I am not so generous, knowing that he does not have me in his heart, and let him take advantage of me. I would rather he be as indifferent to me as before. The woman is actually very pitiful. At that time, he just pushed me to avoid the assassin’s sword. I already liked him. If he treats me a little more tenderly, maybe I really can’t do without him. Up. At that time, I was really pitiful. I looked at him every day, hoping that he could give me a benevolent look, and then, just like those women Yong Niang said, I look forward and hope every day, hope and hope...

I don't want to put myself in such a pitiful place.

I didn't fall asleep for most of the night, and I overslept in the morning. It was Yongniang who woke me up, freshened up in a panic and went into the palace. The empress dowager has gradually recovered in the past few days. She was very happy to see me and gave me a bowl of porridge she had eaten.

The porridge didn't know what was put in, it tasted weird, I couldn't help it after taking a few bites, and felt my stomach churning.

Yongniang saw that my face was not good, so she hurried up and offered me a cup of tea. My stomach was so uncomfortable that I didn’t even dare to drink tea, so I whispered to Yong Niang: "I want to vomit..."

The empress dowager is 70 years old, her ears are so good, she immediately heard: "Huh? Want to vomit?"

Without waiting for her instructions, a bunch of maidservants came up immediately, took the bowl with the bowl, the clear water with the clear water, the Jinpa with the Jinpa, the caressing the back, the incense of incense. The incense used by the empress dowager is ambergris. I always find it smells weird, especially now that the incense is held so close to me, the smoke rushes into my nose, I can’t help it. But I can't vomit, I just vomit some water. Yongniang gave me flower lotion to rinse my mouth. After such a toss, the empress dowager became anxious: "Hurry up and pass on the doctor!"

"No need..." It must have been a cold sleep last night. After Li Chengyin left, I didn't fall asleep for most of the night. I sat there and even forgot to cover the quilt. I had a stomachache this morning. Now it becomes My stomach is upset, I said, "Maybe it’s a bad meal..."

"Pass the imperial doctor to see." The Empress Dowager smiled, "80% is a happy event, don't be ashamed! It's natural to blossom and bear fruit, what's the embarrassment! Oh, I have to pass the Qin Tianjian Well, what do you think this kid should be named..."

I...I...I almost spewed out a mouthful of blood...I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so enthusiastic that I thought I had a baby. The problem is, I haven't done anything to have a baby...

The result of the doctor’s examination was that my stomach was cold and I ate deer soup porridge, which made me nauseous. The empress dowager was disappointed and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"It will be the Yuanchen Ceremony soon, and your Highness will enter the Zhai Palace today..."

The empress dowager immediately slapped the case and got angry: "What kind of house do you enter? There are three unfilial piety, and the queen is great! His father is like him at his age, and he has three sons! He is twenty years old. Haven't become a father yet! That Zhao Liangdi Chengri is by his side and can't even lay an egg! There is also the Xu Baolin, a good child, and he will be gone! If this continues, when will I be able to hold my great-grandson Do you want me to die without closing my eyes?"

When the Empress Dowager lost her temper, everyone in the hall knelt down and said tremblingly: "The Empress Dowager calms down!" The more she said this, the more the Empress Dowager became angry: "Come here! Take Li." Cheng Yin called me! I don't believe in this evil, I don't believe that I will not be able to hold a great-grandson next year!"

Just like me, the Queen Mother named Li Chengyin by name. But the empress dowager asked him to scold him, and when he turned around, he should think it was me who said something, maybe he was going to fight with me again.

Noisy, noisy, I'm not afraid of him anyway.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so cruel and cruel. After calling Li Chengyin, she didn't scold him at all, but asked him kindly, "Have you bathed in incense?"

Bathing and burning incense is a preparation before entering the Zhai Palace. Li Chengyin didn't know what happened, so he just answered: "Yes."

"That's good." The Queen Mother said, "It's cheaper for you. I don't need you to eat fast for the past few days. Anyway, the ancestors and ancestors don't care about this. Come, send your Royal Highness and Concubine to you. Go to the Qingyun Temple, you are not allowed to open the door without my instructions!"

I'm so stupid, the palace people pulled and pushed, and a swarm of people rushed us into the Qingyun Hall, and closed the door with a "hey". I shook it, but the door didn't move at all.

Li Chengyin gave me a cold look, and I glared at him back.

He squeezed two words from his teeth: "Despicable!"

I was furious: "What's up with me! Why are you scolding me again?"

"If you hadn't filed a complaint before the Queen Mother, how could she lock us up?"

I was so angry that I ignored him. Fortunately, the hall was very warm. I sat at the table and played with my fingers boringly. Fingers were more fun than quarreling with Li Chengyin.

We were locked for a long time. Watching the sky darken, the palace man brought in tea and supper from the window. Without waiting for me to speak, he closed the window again.

It must have been ordered by the Queen Mother not to allow them to talk to us. I have a sad face, but I always have to eat. I'm hungry for most of the day after I'm bored. And there are two dishes that I like very much. I served myself a bowl of rice and ate a meal happily. Li Chengyin originally sat there still, but he might be hungry later. Besides, he had his favorite soup and cake, so he had a full meal.

Full of warmth...thinking...boring...

I walked around in the temple, and finally dug out a few stones from the bonsai, and started playing double land with myself.

I don't know how long I played, no one added charcoal to the brazier in the temple, and one by one went out.

Fortunately, there is a brazier in the inner hall. I moved to the bed to continue playing. It was very comfortable under the quilt. Unfortunately, after playing for a while, the candle went out again.
