Chapter 184 (1/2)

Luo Ninghai looked at the bronze mirror here and shook a bead holding step into the newly wrapped bun. He saw a man creeping in from the door.

”What's the matter?” Luo Ninghai kept staring at the step. ”Did you hear anything?”

”Empress.” the maid whispered in her ear, ”empress Qi has entered the palace and has rested in Penglai hall.”

”Is this something important?” Luo Ninghai rolled his eyes. ”She's an empty shell concubine. You have to keep an eye on the situation of Zhaoyun palace and Huayang palace.”

The maid of honor responded obediently. ”Yes. I'll go again.”

”Go, go,” Luo Ninghai touched the hairpin in the bun. Feeling that it was not suitable for his face, he took it off again. ”As soon as the lime left, there were really few satisfactory palace maids.”

But lime doesn't go. She will never be satisfied for the rest of her life. Luo Ninghai gathered the bun, took out a simple emerald jade hairpin from the brocade box, put on the bun and looked around. Just feel barely good, worthy of their own makeup.

”The emperor arrived.”

Luo Ninghai was stunned. Why did the emperor come to the palace at this time? He quickly put on his gauze clothes and went to pick him up.

Meng Qianchong walked in quickly. Yang raised his hand. ”Don't salute. I feel dry mouth. I just pass by you. I want to drink.”

Luo Ninghai said to the palace maid, ”bring Biluochun up.”

”Wait. Don't you often make flower tea this spring,” Meng Qianchong licked his lips. ”Bring the flower tea.”

The flower tea in the palace is always made of lime. Luo Ninghai lowered his eyes. ”The lime making flower tea is ill. The emperor should drink Biluochun from his concubine's mother's house.”

Meng Qianzhong said with some pity, ”a very good person around you should be treated better if he is ill. Don't delay. Today is the day when general Zhuang Youyi's daughter enters the palace. Although she is only the top position here, she still needs to be taken care of.”

Luo Ninghai nodded slightly and said, ”please rest assured, my concubine is going to see concubine Qi.”

”Also,” Meng Qian paused, ”Rosie of Zhongcui palace, I still don't accept her as a concubine.”

Luo Ninghai was stunned. ”Why, doesn't the emperor like her?”

”I think it's better not to marry a female official in the imperial concubine's womb,” Meng Qianzhong said faintly. ”Just think I didn't say it.”

Did Rosie go to the emperor to show that she had made up her mind. Luo Ninghai's heart stagnated and said with a smile: ”my concubine knew that Rosie was the daughter of my cousin's family.”

”That's your sister,” Meng Qianzhong said in surprise. ”You are still relatives.”

”Yes, Rosie actually has someone in her heart. She is my concubine's brother.”

Meng Qianchong widened his eyes and said strangely, ”then I took this order well. I almost delayed general Luo's marriage.”

”In fact, my concubine wanted to tell the emperor about it, because when I went to Zhaoyun hall to see concubine Chen, I found that Rosie was my brother's sweetheart,” Luo Ninghai smiled. ”I didn't expect that the emperor and my concubine had a good heart.”

Meng Qianzhong nodded and said with a smile, ”that's not true. General Luo is coming back from the frontier.”

”Does the emperor want Rosie out of the palace?”

”Yes, I think even if there are many gifts, it's better for general Luo to meet the people he has admired for a long time,” Meng Qianzhong said with a smile. ”What do you think of my idea?”

”My concubine has already sent someone to prepare Rosie's leaving the palace,” Luo Ninghai blinked and handed him the tea cup in the maid's hand. ”My concubine also knows that my brother wants to see Rosie most.”

Meng Qianzhong looked at her with satisfaction, ”only the German imperial concubine in the harem understands my heart most.”

Luo Ninghai picked up the tea cover and blew his breath. He said softly, ”it's the duty of my concubine to share the worries for the emperor. The emperor's mouth is dry. Drink some tea first, and then talk to my concubine slowly.”

”Why don't you play outside today?” Xie Yingmei threw a hawthorn at xuanxiao. ”It's not boring to stay in the house all day?”

Xuanxiao looked at her stiffly, ”I think the lime may not be there.”

Xie Yingmei picked up Hawthorn's hand and said, ”why is it gone?”

”I went to the lake to find her yesterday, but I didn't see her. When I went to Zhongcui palace to inquire about the news, the maids said she was ill and didn't know what it was.”

Xie Yingmei comforted: ”but I'm ill. I'll always be fine. I'm talking nonsense about whether I'm here or not.”
