Chapter 698 (1/2)
In the flower forest of late spring, a quiet woman sits on a small chair in the forest.
On the incense table at the woman's hand, the fragrance is accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing and beautiful.
The courtesan came over with the tea and saw the pretty woman on the small chair. She said, ”Niang, this is a new kind of cake specially sent by the imperial dining room. It's called Xuerong cake. It's a new way from the West.”
”Put it down.” The woman said softly, and her eyes were fixed on the old book in her hand. This book is really old. From the Yellow corner, it is not difficult to see its age.
If the palace maid put it down, she would stand by quietly and wait.
”How about the Royal study today?” After a long time, the woman in the chair asked suddenly.
The palace maid replied truthfully, ”go back to your mother. The emperor went to the Royal study to ask some of the princes about their lessons. The third prince asked a question, and the emperor praised the third prince two times.”
When the woman heard this, she put down the book in her hand, looked at the palace maid, and frowned: ”how can the emperor go to the Royal study today? Will the king of power arrive in Beijing tomorrow? ”
The maid said, ”I don't know about the maidservant, but I heard from several princes in front of the emperor that it's like tomorrow's feast. The emperor wants to choose a prince to go out with the prince. Now it's determined that he should be the seventh prince.”
The woman smiled, opened the book again, and said: ”the seventh prince will seize the opportunity to work together with the prince, and he will never be missing.”
The palace maid drooped her eyes and stopped talking.
The woman then said, ”after class, let arling come here. Next month will be the day of her death. You have to think about a way to send her out of the palace.”
”Yes.” The palace maid obediently answered the voice and continued to guard beside.
Until the time is almost, the woman just left lightly, all the way to the direction of the Royal study.
After the woman left, the flower forest covered by exotic fragrance stepped into an unexpected guest.
The sound of light and steady footsteps came from behind. The woman on the chair seemed to have a feeling. She put down the unfinished miscellaneous book again, sighed her head, and said, ”Why are you here again?”
Behind the chair, a small eunuch with a face like powder and a handsome Qing Jun, with his head hanging down, approached slowly. He stood beside the woman in a respectful posture, but his words were full of casualness: ”I came to see my mother.”
The woman looked back at him and said, ”I heard that after two days, the Empress Dowager is going to leave the palace again. At this time, you should be busy. How can you come to my Changyang palace?”
The little eunuch walked forward two steps, and when he was in front of the woman, he stared at her with profound eyes. His voice was soft and gentle: ”I want to be a lady.”
The woman a stagnant, stare at him one eye, scold way: ”disrespectful!”
The little eunuch lowered his head and made no sound.
The woman looked at him like this and said, ”although you were a member of our palace at first, you have been under the imperial concubine's door for many years. You don't need to respect me for a long time. In the future, you still don't want to come. If you can be seen, it's hard to explain.”
”I came to report to the Empress Dowager.” Said the little eunuch.
The woman frowned: ”Xiang Yi, I don't want you to come here. Do you understand?”
The eunuch stopped talking.
For a while, there was no sound in the huge flower forest except for the slight breeze.
Silence pervaded the two worlds. For a while, the woman rose from her chair, turned around and went to the palace.
Just a step away, the little eunuch behind quickly swept over and blocked her.
Women twist their eyebrows.
