Chapter 246: Check-in to Hehuan Palace
Chapter 246: Check-in to Hehuan Palace
Concubine Xian Fang Duoduo and several other concubines watched as the maids and eunuchs were busy all morning delivering things back and forth to the Hehuan Palace, which was closest to the Imperial Library.
"Your Majesty, you must fill this Hehuan Palace to the brim."
Concubine He walked forward slowly and gently lifted the red cloth covering the wooden tray of the leading maid with her delicate hands.
"The whole body of the vermilion night coral is brighter than the night pearl. Such luxurious things should be sent to the Hehuan Palace."
After saying that, the woman angrily threw the red cloth aside and covered the coral with it.
"Sister Xianfei, what kind of place is this Hehuan Palace? Every Hehuan tree was planted by the Lord himself. I thought only you could live in it."
He Bin walked up to Fang Duoduo and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Sister, you're joking. Hehuan Palace is where the monarch rests. Only those whom the monarch allows to stay can live there."
"Now she's living in the Hehuan Palace even before being canonized. If a beauty is canonized in the future, won't this woman live in the heart of the monarch?"
Concubine He said unhappily, watching as a new team of palace maids headed towards the Hehuan Palace.
Fang Duoduo smiled calmly at He Bin.
"I heard that my sister has seen this woman. She has the appearance of a fairy or a goddess. Not only does our playboy prince like her, but our king also regards her as a treasure."
"Well, it's no exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful."
Fang Duoduo murmured, it has been five years since she entered the palace, and the emperor's favor towards her has spread to her mother's family, but when the man in the Hehuan Palace appeared, she knew what it meant to have only one person in her eyes.
But she had seen the portrait of the fairy, and Zhuang Ge'er had nothing to do with her, so she really didn't understand. If it was just about appearance, the queen in Chaoyang Palace was not much different from this woman.
Wan Dong stood in the large courtyard of the Hehuan Palace and looked at the hustle and bustle in the courtyard, which was full of rare treasures. She then looked at the woman sitting alone in front of the guqin in the corridor. She originally thought that this woman was the prince's favorite, but she never thought that she was just superficial.
Zhuang Ge'er gently stroked the guqin in front of her, and subconsciously plucked the strings. The clear sound of the guqin penetrated the entire courtyard.
“I think I can play the piano.”
Zhuang Ge'er muttered to herself as she listened to the heavenly sound of the guqin, and it seemed as if she had some memory when she stroked the instrument.
The hustle and bustle in the yard seemed to have nothing to do with him.
If she didn't want to reassure the young prince, why would she have entered the palace so deeply? She was also very frightened by the king's kindness to her, and the two masked men seemed to be looking for her with a secret.
But my useless brain was completely blank. I didn't even have the support to think or recall anything. I couldn't remember anything. I only remembered that the first face I saw when I opened my eyes was the little prince. He called me Xiaoge'er.
Imperial Writing Hall.
The brother and sister were playing chess as usual. Both of them were very good at chess and the situation was extremely tense.
"Royal brother, I didn't sleep well last night. You have to be more considerate of me."
Gong Kou Shi found herself gradually at a disadvantage and began to act like a spoiled brat as usual.
"Why didn't you sleep well?"
Gong Heyu asked with a smile.
"I'm not used to it. I've had beautiful women by my side every day for the past three years."
Gong Kou Shi said this deliberately, but saw her own brother smiling without saying anything.
"Brother Emperor, what are you going to give her?"
The young prince continued to ask.
"So what do you hope for?"
Gong Heyu put down the white piece he had just eaten and asked again.
"Of course it has to be the Imperial Concubine, otherwise it would be really unfair to her."
Gong Kou Shi said.
"Shi'er, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Gong Heyu did not answer but just looked at the person in front of him and asked.
"Hasn't Qiye found out everything?"
After saying this, Gong Kou Shi reached out and picked up her favorite snacks from the plate beside her. Zhuang Ge'er had no place to eat breakfast after entering the palace, and her stomach was rumbling at this time.
"I want to know everything, from beginning to end."
Gong Heyu said that he wanted his sister to tell him in person that the person living in the Hehuan Palace was the Lin Daiyu he had been thinking about day and night.
"Then my royal brother, have Zhuang Ge'er make me some peach blossom pastry and hawthorn pineapple cake. I'll eat them later. I'm starving."
Gong Kou Shi threw the chess pieces in her hand into the chess box, and then took the opportunity to cheat and made a few moves on the chess board. Gong He Yu looked at the messed up chess board and looked at his sister speechlessly.
"She can still make these things?"
Gong Heyu remembered that her Lin Daiyu was a woman who had never done housework, but she never expected that she would acquire these skills after marrying her elder brother.
"Of course, she learned it herself from the cook in my house, and she learned it specifically for me."
Gong Kou Shi said smugly.
In the Hehuan Hall, Zhuang Ge'er couldn't help but start playing the piano. Wan Dong listened with a smile on her face. She didn't expect that this guy's piano skills were so high.
From a distance, I saw a man who looked like a young eunuch jogging towards me. When he got closer, it turned out to be Eunuch Gui from the Imperial Library.
"Why is Eunuch Gui running away in such a hurry?"
Wan Dong hurried forward to greet him, and Zhuang Ge'er also stopped playing the guqin in her hand.
"Master, the prince said he wants to eat the peach blossom cake and hawthorn pineapple cake you made. He will be here in a few hours."
Eunuch Gui bowed to Zhuang Ge'er, then stepped forward and spoke in a very flattering voice.
"The prince is here?"
Zhuang Ge'er asked happily. She thought she would never see Gong Kou Shi again.
"Here I am, playing chess with you right now!"
Eunuch Gui's shrill voice had his own accent, and Zhuang Ge'er found it very interesting. Perhaps because she heard that Gong Kou Shi was coming to see her, her mood suddenly improved.
In the Imperial Library, Gong Kou Shi also told her brother in detail the process from when she found Lin Qinghuan, who had been eaten by ice worms, at the bottom of the cold pond to how she treated him over the past few years.
"Royal brother, will you blame Shi'er for not saving Sister Huan's face?"
Gong Kou Shi knew that her fairy-like face would never come back, and asked with some self-blame and regret.
"Shi'er, my royal brother will only be grateful to you for saving Huan'er."
"Royal brother, you are the most important person to me besides our father. Shi'er just wants you to be happy from the bottom of your heart and stop thinking about leaving us."
Gong Kou Shi grinned and looked at her brother happily. She was willing to do anything for him.
Even if it is extremely cruel.
Bu Ci was already on his way to Shan Yao. All the mute servants dismissed by the banker, including those who had any connection with the banker, would not see the sun tomorrow.
She, Gong Kou Shi, is the second Sixth Prince of Dayan, the executioner of Dayan.
