Chapter 272 (1/2)

Su Rushan took several photos in the bronze mirror, and in the mirror he was pale again, as if covered with a layer of white paper. I haven't gone out for a walk for days. All day long, I was in the quiet Huayang palace. There is no warm sunshine. I can't breathe fresh air again. I feel like I'm going to grow old slowly.

”People with sincere talents,” Su Rushan obliquely inserted a phoenix hairpin into his bun. ”Is she in the palace?”

The maid of honor helped her straighten the hairpin. ”I've been to Yanyi palace early in the morning.”

Su Rushuang said faintly, ”she cares more about the Dragon fetus of a good concubine than the emperor. It's good if she's not in the palace. Go out with the palace. She's always stuffy in the palace. The palace feels stuffy and short of breath. It's really uncomfortable.”

The maid looked out the window at the blue sky. ”My mother should have gone out to bask in the sun for a long time. It's easy to get sick if you're stuck in the palace,” she said with a smile

”There's nothing wrong with my palace. You remember to send someone to the imperial dining room to get some donkey hide gelatin cakes,” Su Rushuang put some rouge on her pale cheeks. ”My palace looks normal recently. Looking at the young girls, I always feel like I'm old.”

”The empress is still young,” the maid took down a thin gauze dress and put it on her shoulder. ”How can those little girls compare with the empress? The empress is like a concubine. She is the oldest concubine in the palace.”

Su Rushuang hooked her lips to the mirror, ”our palace was still a noble imperial concubine. Any imperial concubine in the palace would kneel down and call the noble imperial concubine Jin'an. Now no matter which imperial concubine, she would not come to Huayang palace to greet us.”

The maid of honor bit her lower lip, ”empress...”

”Forget it,” Su Rushan raised her hand to block her next words, ”Prince Chun Meng Yuanzhen's rebels seem to have retreated some.”

”Well, general Zhuang personally drove the rebels back to Jianghuai,” said the maid of honor with a smile. ”After so long, I finally heard a good news.”

Su Rushuang sighed faintly, ”general Zhuang is old. I'm afraid he won't last long. The emperor's country is crumbling. None of us can escape.”

The palace maid squeezed out a wry smile. ”Don't be so pessimistic, madam. No matter how the rebels can't get to the Imperial City, madam, just rest assured.”

Su Rushuang looked at the bronze mirror blankly, ”how can you rest assured? Everyone in the imperial city is frightened. It has long been the trend of wind and rain.”

There was a rustling sound outside. Su Rushuang looked up and frowned, ”what's the matter? What a big battle. Is the emperor coming?”

The palace maid looked out of the window for a while and replied in a low voice, ”it's a sincere talent back.”

”Why did she come back? Didn't she go to Yanyi palace to meet the good concubines?” Su Rushuang slowly stood up. ”Since she was going to be courteous, why did she come back now?”

The palace maid went out for a long time and came back, ”it turned out that Jin Cairen went to Yanyi palace, but Liang Bin didn't open the Palace door. She pushed away that she was ill, so Jin Cairen came back after a while.”

Su Rushuang sneered: ”so it is. The drama between the two is really better than that in the theater.”

The maid in waiting smiled and asked her to put her hand on the back of her hand. ”Please, madam. It's estimated that talented people will be depressed in their own palace for a long time. It's OK for her to stroll around outside.”

Su Rushuang finally had a smile on her lips and walked out of the hall door comfortably. ”As soon as I saw that talented people were unhappy, I felt comfortable. Her misfortune was really more useful than the sunshine.”

”It's still early now,” said the palace maid with a soft smile. ”On the day when things are done, talented people will feel good.”

”The magnolias in Mengyang garden are gone, but you can still vaguely smell the strong smell of flowers,” Chu Zongge gently sniffed the fragrance in the air, ”you should come out more in the future and don't always stay in Zhongcui palace.”

Xue ronghua glanced at him angrily, ”when am I bored in Zhongcui palace? Recently, I spend more time with you in the palace than with Princess de in Zhongcui palace.”

Chu Zongge said with a smile, ”it's not boring to accompany me, but it's not necessarily to accompany the German imperial concubine. After you've been separated for so many years, you've already grown into different people, and many aspects are different.”

Xue ronghua's eyes darkened. ”The German imperial concubine is always the highest ranking concubine in the rear palace of the Qi Dynasty. How can she be the same as me?”

”So,” Chu Zongge took her hand, ”one day I will be the emperor, and I will not embarrass you. In the future, the whole harem will be in vain because of you. You are the Dugu queen of the Qin Dynasty.”

Xue ronghua lowered his eyelids, bent his lips and said with a smile, ”even if you don't want to accept a new princess, what can the minister force you? Today's fantasy will change his mind in the future. The whole Daqin is the people of Daqin, not ours. How can we decide?”

Chu Zongge picked up her face and asked softly, ”what's the matter with you? How can you say such words? Is it because you have been in the harem of the state of Qi for a long time?”

”It's not all about the back palace of the state of Qi,” Xue ronghua smiled soothingly at him. ”It's still early for you to return to the state of Qin. It's also early to talk about being an emperor. It's better to see the current problem first.”

Chu Zongge touched her face and said with a smile, ”my mind is always the same. No matter what you think, I'm waiting for you on the road in the future.”

Xue ronghua looked at his gentle eyes. A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart. He just smiled at him.

”It's a bad time for my palace today. I wanted to see the Magnolia in Mengyang garden, but I saw something better than the magnolia,” Su Rushuang opened her lips and saw the brilliance in her eyes. ”Duan Wang has great ambition. In the future, the rivers and mountains of the state of Qin must be yours.”

Xue ronghua looked back at her proud smile, and immediately felt a stagnation in the bottom of his heart. He quickly saluted and said, ”my maid, please greet Rufei.”
