Chapter 157 Purse
Chapter 157 Purse
The half-closed west window was blown open by the cool autumn breeze, blowing out the lonely candle in the hall.
The silver moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the window frame. The night was a little cold. Lu Xinyin curled up on the bed with his eyes closed, looking very pitiful.
"My lady, the lights are out. I will light them again for you."
Gao Yun, the palace maid who was keeping watch on the couch, stood up and relighted the candle on the gilded palace lantern in the bedroom.
She saw Lu Xinyin shivering on the bed, so she quickly walked to the window, closed it, and took out a freshly dried quilt to cover her.
After finishing his work, Gao Yun saw Lu Xiyin opened her eyes and said softly:
"Your Majesty, please rest early. If you rest well, the little prince in your belly will grow stronger and smarter. You can relax. The Queen Mother values you so much that she will plan everything for you."
When Lu Xinyin was forced to move into Chongde Hall, she did not bring any servants with her, and even the items used in the hall today were newly purchased by the empress dowager.
Palace maids and eunuchs like Gao Yun who served Lu Xinyin were all from Ci'an Palace.
"It's too noisy outside. I can't sleep."
Lu Xinyin pursed her lips, her voice choked with sobs and revealed an unspeakable grievance.
"Then I'll go find two balls of cotton for you to plug your ears with?"
"No need." Lu Xinyin was a little annoyed.
"Today is His Majesty's holy day! Everyone outside is celebrating His Majesty's birthday."
She grabbed the quilt and covered her face, her soft voice was very firm. Since moving into Chongde Hall, Lu Xinyin has been counting the days every day.
"Yes, my dear."
Gao Yun was speechless and really didn't know how to comfort Lu Xinyin.
She had been living with Concubine Zhen for more than two months, almost three months, and she felt that Concubine Zhen had a good temper.
The innocent and pure lady of noble family in her imagination was like Concubine Zhen, who usually quietly embroidered flowers, read books, wrote and painted. She had a noble temperament, elegant manners, and was gentle, amiable and amiable.
Although he was in a deep depression, he never took his anger out on these servants.
Empress Zhenfei was not in a state where she was afraid of offending others because she had no one to rely on. She was pregnant with the dragon heir and had a chance to turn things around. She also had an aunt, the Empress Dowager, who often came to Chongde Hall to visit her. She really just had a good temper because she didn't vent her anger on them.
Gao Yun really couldn't imagine that such a virtuous Concubine Zhen would be imprisoned in Chongde Hall for such a trivial matter as misbehaving in front of the emperor.
Your Majesty is too cruel. He didn't even arrange a servant. Concubine Zhen is still pregnant. Was Concubine Zhen framed by someone?
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is able to take care of Concubine Zhen in the palace.
Gao Yun hid the pity and yearning in his heart and sighed quietly in his heart.
"Your Majesty has only locked me in. Can you get out?"
After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Lu Xinyin's forehead. She lifted the thick quilt, sat up, grabbed the hands of the palace maid standing beside the bed, and looked at her with her head raised and eyes full of love.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother only told us to take good care of your daily life. Since I followed the Queen Mother into Chongde Hall, I have not left."
Gao Yun looked at Lu Xinyin's expectant eyes and felt a little embarrassed.
The palace gates were guarded day and night.
The eunuchs on duty at the palace gate never spoke to the palace maids and eunuchs who came from Ci'an Palace to serve Concubine Zhen. They talked and laughed among themselves, but turned cold when they saw outsiders.
The two groups of people are in a clearly divided state.
Lu Xinyin let go of Gao Yun's hand, took the exquisite dressing box placed beside the bed and gently opened it. It was filled with handkerchiefs and purses.
These handkerchiefs and purses were all embroidered by her after she entered the Chongde Hall. She used various silk threads to outline the crabapple flowers of different shapes. The handkerchiefs were for practicing, and as for the purses, she wanted to embroider one for His Majesty herself.
Lu Xinyin took out the purses one by one, picked out the one she liked the most and held it in her hand.
"This is the best one I have embroidered. I want to give it to Your Majesty. Don't worry, I just said it casually. A gift that comes from the heart should of course be presented in person."
Lu Xinyin looked a little lonely.
