Luoyang Brocade Chapter 293: Yu Chun
From this day on, Ling Jingshu served Empress Xu personally.
The so-called personal service means always staying with Queen Xu, ready to be dispatched at any time. Speaking of which, there is nothing particularly specific. The palace maids were responsible for such trivial matters as dressing, washing up, and making up, serving refreshments, and she and Ruilian Qiu Shuang were just chatting with Empress Xu.
At the end of the day, my spirit has been tense and I cannot slack off for even a moment.
Fortunately, there is no need to stay on duty at night. After Queen Xu has finished her dinner, she can go back to the house to rest. Only at this time can we truly breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition to several maids, there are also several chamberlains who are on duty in Queen Xu's palace every night. These people are obviously Empress Xu's true confidants.
In the past few months since Ling Jingshu entered the Jiaofang Palace, she had vaguely heard that the chamberlains were "favored" by Empress Xu. I don't have the chance to take a closer look on weekdays, but after serving Queen Xu these past two days, I gradually saw the clues.
These chamberlains are all handsome and fair-skinned. It's a pity that they are all castrated fake men, and their words and deeds are somewhat feminine. One of them, named Yu Chun, had a handsome face and vague resemblance to Wei Yan, and was particularly favored by Empress Xu.
Ling Jingshu felt sick when she thought of Empress Xu's dirty thoughts towards Wei Yan.
……
"To the Queen, the medicine has been tried. Please take the medicine." Ruilian smiled and brought the medicine bowl in.
Queen Xu responded casually: "Bring it over!"
Ruilian held the medicine bowl in one hand, and scooped up a spoonful of medicine from the bowl with a spoon in the other hand, and then handed it to Queen Xu's mouth.
Queen Xu opened her mouth and drank the medicine.
Licorice is added to the medicine, so it doesn’t taste bitter. When you drink it, it even tastes slightly sweet.
Thinking that this was a prescription written by Wei Yan himself, there was an ambiguous pleasure in the sweetness. Queen Xu quickly drank the entire bowl of medicine.
Ruilian served Empress Xu to drink the medicine, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, the warm soup for bathing is ready."
Queen Xu hummed casually.
The large bathtub was filled with warm water, with a layer of flower petals sprinkled on top. The steaming heat mixed with the scent of flower petals is soothing.
Queen Xu took off her clothes under the service of the palace maid, stepped into the bathtub and sat down. A palace maid wiped her back, and a palace maid carefully rubbed her long hair.
With the palace maids waiting on her, Queen Xu doesn’t have to do anything, just close her eyes slightly and enjoy it.
Gently wiping the soft towel on the back felt a strange pleasure.
A sigh escaped from Queen Xu's mouth, and her hand in the water gently touched her chest. After all, after forty years, no matter how well-maintained he is, he will look older after taking off his clothes. My chest is no longer as strong and straight as when I was young, and my lower abdomen also has some fat...
As his hands caressed him like this, a familiar fire ignited in his body.
Queen Xu’s breathing became heavier.
The two maids looked at each other and looked away.
After taking a bath, Empress Xu returned to the bedroom wearing a thin and soft middle coat. Then he gave an order: "Let Yu Chun do the night watch tonight."
Several servants were waiting. When they heard that Yu Chun was named to serve on the "night watch", they all looked at him with envy and hatred.
Although the reputation of male favorites is not very good, they are castrated men and have the lowest status in the palace. They have no choice at all, let alone the courage to refuse.
Fortunately, I was favored by Empress Xu, and now I had a backer to dominate the palace. Secondly, being able to pretend to be a phoenix with the noble Queen Xu can also satisfy their dark and abnormal thoughts.
Under the complicated looks in the eyes of several chamberlains, Yu Chun puffed up his chest with pride.
……
For three days in a row, Queen Xu summoned Yu Chun to serve on night duty.
Jiaofangdian is not small, but it is only so big. Every day is a trivial matter, but it can't be hidden from people who care about it. Especially Ruilian and Qiu Shuang, they are Empress Xu's close confidants.
The two of them would inevitably gossip and joke around in private.
"This Yu Chun is quite popular with the empress." Qiu Shuang gave Ruilian an ambiguous look: "I heard that I have been on night watch for three consecutive days."
Ruilian laughed softly and said, "Isn't it true? The Queen gave Yu Chun a pair of good luck yesterday."
It seems that Yu Chun's service satisfied Queen Xu.
Ruilian and Qiu Shuang looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
At this moment, Ling Jingshu came over with a smile: "Sister Ruilian, sister Qiu Shuang, what are you two talking about?"
Qiu Shuang laughed casually and said: "We are talking about Yu Chun! He has been very popular with the empress these days. The empress even rewarded him with a pair of Ruyi yesterday..."
Ruilian coughed and interrupted Qiu Shuang: "Ah Shu, you came just in time. The Queen has already gotten up and changed her clothes. The rest of us also went in to serve her."
Ling Jingshu silently wrote down the name Yu Chun without asking any further questions, and agreed with a smile.
……
A thin servant quietly left the Jiaofang Hall.
This chamberlain's name is Xiao Xi. He is unattractive and taciturn. He usually does rough cleaning work in the Jiaofang Palace and never attracts attention.
Xiao Xi lowered her head all the way and soon arrived at the passage outside the Tai Hospital. After waiting for a moment, Tiandong walked over quietly: "Xiao Xi, why are you here?"
This Xiao Xi’s parents died when she was young. In order to survive, she entered the palace at the age of eight. He is timid and timid, and does not like to talk. He is insignificant in the palace of Nuo Da and no one pays attention to him.
Four years ago, Xiaoxi had a serious illness and almost died. Thanks to Wei Yan's kindness, he prepared pills in private and asked Tian Dong to deliver them. Xiao Xi's life was finally saved.
From then on, Xiao Xi became Wei Yan's spy willingly.
Wei Yan has been in the palace for many years~IndoMTL.com~ and has no shortage of connections. He secretly managed it three years ago and inserted Xiao Xi into the Jiaofang Palace to work.
Xiao Xi usually keeps his head down and does not talk much, but his popularity in Jiaofang Palace is quite good. Some people who like to gossip will have to whisper in his ear.
He listened to it in his heart, and every once in a while, he would quietly pass the news on to Tiandong.
"Tiandong, please tell Imperial Physician Wei. The things he asked me to pay attention to have already been revealed."
Xiao Xi lowered her voice and whispered a few words into Tiandong's ear, her voice was very low and her words were fast.
As Tian Dong listened, his expression became solemn: "Okay, I understand. I will go back and tell Imperial Physician Wei about this. You should also be careful when you go back. If someone asks you why you came to Tai Hospital, you Just say it's a headache and come to me for some medicine for headaches."
Xiao Xi nodded, said nothing, and quickly turned around and left.
Tian Dong turned his head and looked around astutely. Seeing no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the hospital. (To be continued.)
