Chapter 148 Lessons
(Thanks for the gift from Naihe Bridge, I worked hard on writing last night and didn't look at the gift details. I will add another chapter today)
An Lingrong took a nap and woke up feeling sore in her back and weak all over. She moved slightly and Caixing opened the curtains. "My lady, are you awake?"
"Cai Xing, help me sit up for a while!"
Cai Xing carefully helped An Lingrong to the soft couch, handed her a cup of tea and said, "My lady, you are hungry. The Empress just sent you some bird's nest soup. I'm warming it on the stove!"
Hearing that it was still a bland meal, An Lingrong instantly lost interest and said, "Where are the mung bean cakes Sister Zhen sent? Can you bring me a few pieces?"
"My lady, Sister Su Ye said that mung beans are cold in nature. You can only eat three pieces a day. You can't eat any more today!"
An Lingrong said coquettishly, "Good Caixing, my mouth feels bitter after taking the medicine, so I feel better after eating something sweet. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Although Cai Xing is young, she has her own principles. "No, what the young lady can eat and what she can't eat is all decided by Sister Su Ye. I dare not make my own decisions!"
Looking at the serious expression on the little girl's face, An Lingrong felt like laughing. She deliberately acted like a master and asked, "Will you listen to me or Su Ye?"
Cai Xing thought carefully for a while before saying, "Of course I will listen to you, my lady, but when it comes to your health, I will listen to Sister Su Ye!"
An Lingrong: “…”
When Su Ye returned to the west side hall, the master and servant were staring at each other. She was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"Cai Xing won't give me anything to eat!"
"My lady must eat mung bean cake!"
They both complained at the same time.
Su Ye understood what had happened after a brief thought and looked at An Lingrong with a frown.
Seeing her fierce eyes, An Lingrong felt a little uneasy and quickly changed the subject, "Well... where have you been? My back hurts!"
Su Ye hurried to check on An Lingrong's wound. Seeing no blood, she breathed a sigh of relief and told her the news she had gathered: "My lady, Aunt Jinxi just came to ask me to go to Suiyuxuan. She said that at the birthday banquet for Concubine Wan in the Old Summer Palace today, Concubine Xia performed a tap dance. After returning to the palace, she was summoned to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor. Concubine Wan was a little angry and had a miscarriage. I checked on her and she's fine. She just needs to rest well."
An Lingrong's heart tightened, and every time she moved her body, the wound on her back began to hurt, "Hiss..."
After another flurry of activity, An Lingrong lay back down on the bed.
"Call Xiao Luzi over here."
After a while, Xiao Luzi entered the hall and paid his respects.
"Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and find some things for me!"
"Yes!"
"Su Ye, go get some cloth and we'll make you a new pair of shoes."
Three days later, Xia Dongchun was sent back to the Yanxi Palace.
The East Side Hall was redecorated and looked brand new. Xia Dongchun carefully looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Not bad!"
Feng Er stood aside and said with a smile, "Congratulations, young lady! Look, young lady, the Imperial Household Department has sent so many gifts. This shows how much the Emperor loves you."
"Of course, the Emperor is very kind to me!"
Thinking about the words the emperor praised her in bed, Xia Dongchun felt even more proud.
"My lady, the medicine is ready. Would you like to drink it now?"
Xia Dongchun said, "Bring it here!"
"My dear, you have been drinking this medicine for three days. How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything at all. I'm just following the Queen's orders!"
She is no longer in a hurry to get pregnant. With the emperor's current favor towards her, even if he finds out that she was the one who sent people to harm Concubine Hui, the emperor will forgive her!
But if I don’t drink it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it to the Queen.
After finishing the medicine, Xia Dongchun picked up a piece of dessert and ate it.
A young palace maid entered the hall and reported: "My lady, Su Ye, who is with Lady Wen, is here!"
"Let her in!"
Su Ye entered the hall, bowed, and said, "Greetings to Consort Xia."
Xia Dongchun said lazily: "Get up!"
"Thank you, my lady. You are favored by the Emperor. Lady Wen is not feeling well and cannot come to congratulate you in person. I asked this servant to bring you some gifts. Please don't despise me, my lady."
Su Ye presented the brocade box in his hand respectfully.
Feng'er next to her cleverly opened the box and held it in front of Xia Dongchun. When she looked up, she saw a emerald jade ruyi.
"My mistress said that Ruyi can rest on her pillow and asked me to place it at the head of her bed."
Seeing that Ruyi was in good condition, Xia Dongchun said, "Well, take it!"
Feng'er wanted to step forward, but Su Ye quickly said with a smile, "I don't want to trouble you, sister. I'll help you put it on the bedside!"
After saying that, he took out Ruyi from the box, walked into Xia Dongchun's bedroom, put Ruyi away, and pressed it down with a pillow. Feng'er accompanied him throughout the whole process and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual.
"Slave, please leave!"
After Su Ye finished speaking, he bowed again before leaving.
Xia Dongchun let out a sneer, "This noble lady Wen is really good at currying favor. As soon as I was favored, she came up to curry favor with me!"
Feng Er said flatteringly, "The Emperor dotes on the young lady, so naturally she has to please you. Although her position is higher than yours now, with the Emperor's current favor, your position will be promoted sooner or later!"
Xia Dongchun felt relaxed after hearing this and nodded with satisfaction.
Back in the west wing of the Yanx Palace, Su Ye made an "OK" gesture to An Lingrong who was drinking porridge.
An Lingrong smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.
The master and servant smiled at each other.
Now Xia Dongchun is jumping around all the time, which is really annoying. I will let her lose the emperor's favor first, and then settle the score with her after I recover.
After dinner, someone from the Jingshifang came to convey the emperor's order, summoning Xia Dongchun to sleep with him.
After the maid from the Jingshifang helped Xia Dongchun bathe, she wrapped her body in a wide brocade quilt. Then the eunuch Tuofei carefully carried her up and placed her on the dragon couch in the Yangxin Palace.
Yongzheng lay quietly on the bed, his feet uncovered by the brocade quilt. The eunuch gently placed Xia Dongchun at Yongzheng's feet and then quietly left the room.
Xia Dongchun poked her head out from under the quilt, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and slowly crawled up from Yongzheng's feet.
Yongzheng had been waiting impatiently. He had assumed that his passion for sex would wane with age, and that he'd shared his bed with his concubines only to procreate. But with Xia Dongchun, he suddenly rediscovered the feeling of his youth. This body infatuated him, made him addicted, and made him drift into ecstasy. Before dusk even reached him, he already missed this feeling.
The person in the brocade quilt slowly climbed up and stretched out her arms to hug Yongzheng's neck. Yongzheng smelled the fragrance emanating from her body, his blood boiling, and turned over to press her under him.
"emperor……"
Just as Yongzheng was about to take action, a strange smell suddenly penetrated his skull. The smell was like a pile of rotten meat, or like a foot binding that had been worn for three months without being washed and soaked in rotten eggs.
The stench tightly enveloped Yongzheng, strangling his neck and making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Ugh, what's that smell?" Yongzheng didn't care about the naked Xia Dongchun. He quickly stood up and walked outside the hall, calling Su Peisheng: "Su Peisheng!"
Su Peisheng hurriedly trotted into the hall. Before he even entered the bedroom, a foul odor hit his face and hit his soul directly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will investigate immediately!"
As soon as I opened my mouth, the stench seemed to go down my throat and into my stomach.
Xia Dongchun was shivering on the bed. Although she couldn't open her eyes because of the stench, she still remembered that she was naked and had to cover her mouth and nose with the quilt.
After a while, a maid entered the palace, investigated, and came to a conclusion, "Your Majesty, this smell is coming from the young lady!"
