Chapter 528 Marigold
The solemn Xuande Hall was decorated in red by Eunuch Su. The eaves and corridors were hung with auspicious knots, which symbolized peace, and the rhombuses were tied with red silk and satin, which symbolized auspiciousness. All of this was just to comply with the emperor's wishes. May you be far away in Jin Ge.
The marriage of King Fenyi goes smoothly, and I wish that the fourth prince and Princess Jinge will have a happy marriage for a long time, which will also add some happiness to the royal family.
"Eunuch Su, what are you busy with?" Shen Yiyue came with Jing Fei to pay his respects to the emperor.
"Tomorrow is the big day for the fourth prince to get married. The emperor asked the old slave to decorate it to feel happy." Eunuch Su took advantage of the moment when the emperor fell asleep and led the palace people to hurriedly decorate it under the scorching sun.
Shen Yiyue handed Eunuch Su a handkerchief and said, "Eunuch, please wipe your sweat quickly. Don't be too tired. It's too easy to suffer from heatstroke in this hot day."
"Thank you, Princess, for thinking about me. You can easily upset this old slave." Eunuch Su rejected Shen Yiyue's kindness. He did not dare to use the princess's handkerchief to wipe his sweat. He was very clear about the boundaries between master and servant.
"Hey, it's already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye. The days go by so fast." Shen Yi put the handkerchief back into his sleeve angrily.
"Isn't that right? It's been more than four months since the fourth prince left." Eunuch Su secretly looked at Concubine Jing who was playing with marigolds while tying the silk satin. She remained silent and only picked off the petals one by one.
Counting on his fingers, "How are you doing, Concubine Jing?"
"Well, it's much better. Thanks to my father-in-law for being on time and preparing tonics for my mother and concubine." Shen Yiyue has become much more sensible and polite since Concubine Jing went crazy. She understands her situation in her heart. Her mother and concubine still have
She was protected by the emperor's favor, but she had nothing to rely on and had to take great pains to take care of her disobedient mother.
"Princess, you are serious. It is the emperor who ordered this slave to take good care of your empress." Eunuch Su saluted with a half-smile.
In recent months, Concubine Jing has been living in Xuande Hall, and Eunuch Su has suffered from her madness.
Sometimes, because the concubine Jing was ill and cried and made trouble, which made the emperor unhappy, he would use Eunuch Su as a punching bag.
Sometimes, because Eunuch Su was kicked and kicked by the emperor, the concubine Jing who was watching on the side clapped her hands and cheered, giggling like a child watching a fighting show with eyes full of novelty.
The most chilling moment for Eunuch Su was when Concubine Jing bit his arm for no apparent reason. When he let go, the blood immediately stained the palace clothes. However, the emperor only ordered Eunuch Su to give way to Concubine Jing everywhere in the future and not to offend her.
If you are upset, don't yell at it.
No matter what the reason was, the emperor believed that it was Eunuch Su who provoked Concubine Jing first, otherwise he would not have been so cruel.
Eunuch Su dared not speak out at that time, so he had no choice but to drink and feel pity with Xiao Caozi in the dead of night while the emperor was sleeping. He had never been so wronged in his most of his life in the palace. It reminded him that when the late emperor was still alive, he had been so wronged.
The Queen Mother praised him for his decent handling of affairs and almost sent him from Xuande Palace to Shou'an Palace to serve him.
Eunuch Su sometimes sympathizes with his concubine when he looks at her dazed look, but when he thinks of the emperor being so exhausted and haggard by him, his hatred for him doubles. As a loyal servant, how can he not feel sorry for his master?
Even Xiao Caozi defended Eunuch Su and questioned why Concubine Jing was so favored.
Eunuch Su had served the emperor for many years and thought he knew the emperor very well, but he had never understood the fact that the emperor only favored his concubine.
"Eunuch Su, what are you thinking about? You are so fascinated..." Shen Yiyue stretched out his palm and waved it again and again in front of Eunuch Su.
"Ah~ ah~ It's nothing. Why did the princess come to Xuande Hall?" Eunuch Su stayed by the emperor's side day and night. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. He seemed to be lacking in energy and was easily distracted.
.
"Bring my mother and concubine to see my father. I haven't seen you for a few days. Is my father's old illness getting better?" Shen Yiyue heard the rumor that the emperor was seriously ill and immediately came to Xuande Hall to visit. When he saw Mr. Su, he was
After decorating the hall corridor leisurely, she felt a little relieved.
She thought to herself that most of the rumors in the palace were fabrications that exaggerated the facts. If the emperor's situation was really bad, Eunuch Su would definitely stay guarding him, and he would not be in the mood to wish Shen Yiene far away in the grassland.
"Well... the imperial doctor comes to see the emperor every day, but he can't find out why. The emperor has not thought about food and tea these days. I don't know if he misses the concubine or the fourth prince... ugh~" He looked at the emperor getting more and more haggard.
Eunuch Su could see the pain in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of anxiety.
"Concubine Jing??? I want to see Concubine Jing, take me to see Concubine Jing!!!" Concubine Jing suddenly grabbed Eunuch Su's arm and muttered to herself, "Where is Concubine Jing?"
Faced with Concubine Jing's words and deeds, Eunuch Su was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Not only was he afraid of her crazy words, but he was also afraid that Concubine Jing would grab his arm and bite him, "What's going on, Concubine Jing? How could he be stimulated?"
Already?"
"Don't be afraid, father-in-law. My mother and concubine have been like this every time they heard the word "Jing Fei" these past two days. It's okay~" Shen Yiyue pulled Jing Fei back to his side and patiently comforted her, "I'm here, what do you want from me?
?”
"I'm looking for you??? Why am I looking for you? I don't even know you..." Concubine Jing pouted and shook off Shen Yiyue's hand.
"I am Concubine Jing, don't you want to find me? I'm here, I'm here with you! Look at me carefully!" Shen Yiyue covered her mother's cheeks with both hands and explained seriously.
"Are you really Concubine Jing?" Concubine Jing pointed at Shen Yiyue and questioned.
"Yeah, it's absolutely true!" Shen Yiyue nodded firmly.
"Concubine Jing, can you please return the emperor to me? I can't live without the emperor." After concubine Jing said this without thinking, she burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, you can be whoever you want, whatever you want, stop crying, stop making trouble." Shen Yiyue secretly wiped away tears while hugging Concubine Jing.
"Princess?" Eunuch Su called Shen Yiyue cautiously.
"Huh?" Shen Yiyi responded with tears in his eyes.
"Are you still taking Concubine Jing to see the Emperor?" Eunuch Su looked confused.
"Well... is my father awake?" Shen Yiyue asked.
"Old slave, are you going to take a look now?" Eunuch Su was about to leave when he was stopped by Shen Yiyue, "Hey~ let's forget it. My mother and concubine are like this, and it will be sad for my father to see them. I'll go first
Take her back, and we will come back when she is calmed down."
"The princess is still thoughtful." Su Eunuch's worried heart finally relaxed. Concubine Jing's crying would do no harm to the emperor, but he could not order the princess and concubines how to behave as a slave.
.
"My father-in-law's farewell~" Shen Yiyue hugged Concubine Jing and left in a hurry. She didn't want her mother and concubine's embarrassment to be seen by outsiders. If it spread to Yongyan Hall again, it would be regarded as a joke after dinner.
