Chapter 52
Chapter 52 The third bowl of soup (ten)
Han Ling is the cousin of Concubine Ke Shu’s childhood sweetheart. As early as when Concubine Ke Shu was just getting married, Concubine Ke Shu had a crush on her, but it was a pity that Concubine Ke Shu had already taken a fancy to Emperor Jing Heng at that time. Although Han Ling was as handsome and gentle as Emperor Jing Heng, But he was just a civil official. Although he came from a big family, he was a lot worse than Emperor Jing Heng.
Since Concubine Ke Shu entered the palace, Han Ling has rarely seen her again. Now that she was invited by her, she was overwhelmed and overjoyed, but she still came as promised. When I saw this, I felt that this cousin was gorgeous, and she could be called an overwhelming country.
Concubine Ke Shu was a famous beauty when she was in her boudoir. Now she is the first of the four concubines in the sixth house, and she is naturally more beautiful and luxurious. Seeing Han Ling in a green robe bowing to herself, she hurriedly said, “Between you and me, why be so polite.”
Han Ling smiled and sat down. He looked at this cousin quietly, admiring her peerless appearance. But there are still regrets in my heart: If she had never entered the palace back then, what kind of a couple of gods and goddesses would they be now… “The empress is joking, but the rules are still to be followed. If the minister is a foreign minister, it would be inappropriate. No matter how rude, I really want to make people look at a joke.”
But for Concubine Ke Shu, who regards secular etiquette as nothing, Han Ling is too rigid, as is her fiancé. She just knows that she loves the country and the family, and her lover and children are all put behind. In that case, why should she marry and not let herself be? Putting it first, people who can’t think about everything for themselves? Rules are not made by people, why can’t she change them? Concubine Ke Shu was not worried, but she was still smiling on her face. There is no way, now she is asking for others, so naturally she can’t put on the top score.
The one she likes most in her heart is Emperor Jing Heng, because among these outstanding men, Emperor Jing Heng is the only one who disdains her. What you can’t get is always the best. This is true. Maybe one day, she really became the favorite of Emperor Jing Heng as she wished. At that time, she would feel that the palace was cold and barren and impersonal, and the emperor could not spoil her alone. It would be better to leave and wander the rivers and lakes.
The most important thing is that while she likes Emperor Jing Heng, she is reluctant to let her cousin and fiance lord have Li Wuwei. In Fei Ke Shu’s idea, a man can have three wives and four concubines, but why can’t a woman have three husbands and four attendants? Since they all love her, then why refuse to live together peacefully for her? This is what Ke Shufei thought in her heart, and she never told anyone else. Because she knew that in this feudal and conservative and backward society, no one would understand her.
But she has to work hard for this goal. Could it be that her performance among these men over the years has been all falsehoods? Naturally not. Concubine Ke Shu felt that she gave her true feelings and really liked them when she liked them, that was enough. If in the end some of them don’t want to recognize her like this, she won’t worry about being with her like this, because it just means that they treat her as much as that.
“Cousin, I came to you today to ask you to do me a favor.” Ke Shufei called herself “me”, just to recall the beautiful memories of her in Han Ling’s heart, and remember how happy they were together before. Time. “You will definitely help me, won’t you? Since childhood, only cousin, you have loved Lan’er the most, and you have treated Lan’er the best.”
Lan’er is Concubine Ke Shu’s nickname, and the elders in the family call her so. Among the men she knew, Han Ling had been with her for the longest time and had the deepest feelings. So when Lan’er appeared, Han Ling’s black eyes flashed, it seemed that he was really touched. When Concubine Ke Shu saw this, she continued her efforts and said: “This deep palace can eat people, Lan’er is here, helpless. Although my dad lives high in Dingguo and holds an army of millions, he is beyond his reach and can’t control me. Cousin, If you don’t help Lan’er, Lan’er is really going to be forced to die here today!” As she said, she sobbed gently, and the crystal clear tears fell just right along the powder cheeks, dripping on the skirt, and annoyed. People love and affection.
However, she was born beautiful and extraordinary, and she has been outstanding since she was a child, like a group of raging fires, and has never shown weakness. Now that he showed such a posture at first glance, it seemed a bit nondescript. At least Han Ling was awake from her language. He deeply realized that the woman in front of him was no longer the cousin he was thinking of. But on the face, he still made a gentle and caring appearance: “So what do you want?”
Concubine Ke Shu was bewitched by his gentle expression and did not notice the indifference in his words: “Cousin, I just want to ask you to help me with one thing. You are in a high position, and you can definitely help me with this.” So he put his plan in Han Ling’s ear and said it softly.
When Han Ling heard this, his face was as usual, but his eyes were horrified. She only favored a female officer for the emperor, and she asked him to find the female officer’s family, exterminate everything, and win the trust of the female officer for her own use!
That innocent and cute cousin in the memory, how long did she become like this? !
Han Ling was in a state of confusion. He really didn’t know what to do. After a long while after thinking about it, he answered vaguely and got up to leave. On the way back, he kept hesitating. He couldn’t do this. Not to mention that it hurts the world. He only said that the female officer was the emperor’s favor. If something happened to her family, can the emperor not blame it? The trivial matter of fighting for favor with a woman has ruined her life’s reputation, which is really not worth it. However, if you don’t help this, the cousin is indeed struggling in the palace… Suddenly, Han Ling is entangled.
He also didn’t want to think, is this busy, isn’t Dingguo more suitable than him? Obviously Dingguo can be entrusted to Dingguo to do things, but Concubine Ke Shu has given it to him. Why did she ever really treat him as a family member? She knew that she had to preserve the power of Ding Guo, so that she could sit firmly in the position of her favorite concubine, and where did she put herself in consideration for him?
As he walked, Han Ling realized that he had been separated from the **** leading the way and turned into a small garden.
This small garden was built on the imperial garden. There are not as many kinds of flowers as the imperial garden, but it is full of fragrant flowers and fragrant. Looking at this small piece of bamboo forest in front of me, coupled with the cool breeze, is really indescribable. This beauty made Han Ling’s impatient heart slowly calm down. He thought about it carefully, and he must never do this. So, I am afraid that he will live up to his cousin’s expectations.
As early as when Concubine Ke Shu refused him, Han Ling thought that if he couldn’t stay with each other in this life, he would definitely protect her for the whole life, but only now did he realize that he was not as omnipotent as he imagined. In many cases, he is also involuntarily and must make a choice.
Seeing a stone table and a few stone benches in the bamboo forest, Han Ling walked over, sat down, leaned on the table, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind. This is the inner courtyard of the palace. It is really inappropriate for him to stay here as a foreign minister, but he wants to stay here a little longer. At this moment, a whisper came from behind the flowers not far behind.
Although Han Ling is a civil servant, he has also studied martial arts since he was a child. Although he is not comparable to the Ouchi guards, he is also regarded as a first-class master. Although the whisper was small, he could hear it clearly, especially when it came to the wind, it seemed to be in his ears.
“…Eh, I said, don’t you know? It has been Qinghuan’s maid waiting in bed for the past few days!”
“Yesterday, I heard someone say that your Majesty is not close to women. At first, everyone thought…Unexpectedly, now…hehe.” The woman laughed, with a touch of shame. “It’s a shame, a shame! I heard from the sisters of the Jinluan Temple, the body of the Qinghuan female officer I really can’t look at it. Your Majesty looks at the mature and stable, but it’s really fierce in the bed ”
“Oh! You little hoof, how can you say such a thing! I’m going to tell the mother, let her punish you!”
“Hmph, don’t want to lie to me, don’t you want to be tender with your Majesty in your heart? I have been looking at the Qinghuan female officer from a distance these few days. Your Majesty is really fond of her, and even sleeps with her at night. , Can’t leave it for a moment!”
“Oh…I really envy it! If one day, I can also have the opportunity of a Qinghuan female officer, I really want to die…”
“Hush!” The palace lady suddenly covered the mouth of the previous palace lady, “Speak carefully! Speak carefully! You can’t talk nonsense about this! Do you want to be filled into the dry well of the cold palace!”
“…Dry well? What dry well?!”
“Ah…I forgot, you don’t know about this.” The maid sighed slightly, her tone also showing fear and anxiety. “Zhu Cai, do you know Zhu Cai?”
“I know, isn’t she from the palace of Concubine Shu? What’s wrong? What does it have to do with her?”
“I heard… Not long ago, she was blessed by the emperor!”
“What?! I don’t believe it!”
“Believe it or not, you haven’t seen her these days? Because after that day, she was given refuge soup, beaten to death with a stick, and thrown into the dry well of the cold palace!”
“Ah…you, don’t scare me!”
“Who scared you! I’m a puppy to lie to you! These years, there will be fewer people in the palace from time to time, and some are concubines who have been named. Why do you think this is all? That is all made by Empress Shu Ah! Anything that has something to do with your Majesty, even if your Majesty accidentally takes a few more glances, she will kill people!”
“Ah? Concubine Shu is so cruel? But… but it seems, she is very nice!”
“This person is not to be in appearance. Concubine Shu is in front of your majesty, and she naturally has to show her best. But she doesn’t have to be afterwards. This is really painful for us palace people… Don’t you know? Concubine Shu’s side Liu Qing, have you seen her these few days?”
“That’s not true.”
“Because your majesty favors the female officer Qinghuan, Empress Shu has nowhere to vent, so she sprinkled her anger on Sister Liu Qing. She is so personal, she vents more vents in one night and loses her breath! What are you talking about! From now on, you will be fine. Don’t go to the concubine Shu, and it’s best not to get close to the people in the concubine Shu concubine’s palace. We are a good sister, and you have just entered the palace again, so I remind you that if this is replaced by someone else, I will Regardless!”
