Chapter 209: Interesting Things in the Cold Palace
The palace was decorated with lanterns and full of joy, and the scene was lively. At this time, the queen was very busy, and she was nervously preparing for a grand palace banquet.
At the same time, in the cold palace, Concubine Shu was sitting quietly in the dilapidated courtyard, staring at everything around her with indifference, a chill in her eyes.
Suddenly, a man dressed as a guard came out from the corner and hugged Shupin tightly from behind. The frost on Shupin's face melted instantly, replaced by a happy smile.
Soon, the guards picked up Concubine Shu and walked to the bed in the cold palace. Their clothes were scattered and the two of them were entangled together.
Afterwards, the guard hugged Concubine Shu and said gently: "Lan'er, you are already pregnant. We can't let our child suffer in the cold palace! We must find a way to leave here."
His eyes were full of worry, but in fact they flashed with a hint of cunning and calculation.
Shupin answered confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely leave this cold palace. The Lantern Festival next month will be the day when I will be favored again.
You have to find a reliable doctor to help me. Remember, the baby in my belly is not just one month old, but almost three months old, do you understand? "After saying this, she sneered.
The man said: "Lan'er, don't you want me anymore? What if you favor me again?" But he was very happy in his heart, because his son would be a prince in the future.
In that bustling palace, everyone was busy with the palace banquet, and no one could have imagined that Concubine Shu in the cold palace was so bold.
The man's satisfied hands unconsciously wandered over Concubine Shu's body again. Soon Concubine Shu suppressed her moans, which stimulated the man even more, and they started making love again.
The guard left with satisfaction, and Concubine Shu put on her clothes, with the hatred in her eyes becoming even stronger.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I once opened my heart to you. But you actually banished me to the cold palace for that bitch Nan Ruoqing, and you were so heartless that you didn't even give me a maid. My hands are now as rough as tree bark. You are heartless, so don't blame me for being ungrateful."
At that time, Concubine Shu, who was banished to the cold palace, was truly pitiful. Her cold palace had a separate courtyard, and she had no maid to serve her. She had to cook, wash clothes, and grow vegetables by herself, otherwise she would starve.
How could the pampered Concubine Shu do all these? She was afraid of bringing trouble to the Fourth Prince, and she did not allow him to send anything to her. She managed to survive by relying on her own efforts.
The cold palace was full of leaks and rats were rampant, scaring Concubine Shu into having nightmares every night. At this time, Concubine Shu accidentally saw a guard who often came to inspect the cold palace, so she came up with a bold plan.
The guard didn't know what was going on, and he kept hanging around Concubine Shu whenever he had nothing to do. After a while, the two of them actually fell in love with each other.
Concubine Shu was naturally beautiful, and the coarse clothes could not conceal her beauty, but instead gave her a different kind of beauty.
So one day, Concubine Shu pretended to be sick and fainted. The young guard hurried forward to pick up Concubine Shu and put her on the bed. He knew that this was the emperor's concubine and she must not die. He was in charge of patrolling and he could not escape responsibility if something happened...
Unexpectedly, on the bed, Concubine Shu actually took his hand and placed it on her chest. The young guard had been to a brothel before, and he instantly understood what Concubine Shu meant.
He knew that except for him, no one came to inspect Concubine Shu's cold palace, so he boldly approached her, and soon something that should not have happened happened between the two of them.
Concubine Shu had never felt that kind of comfortable state before, and she pestered the young guard to do it again and again. After all, Emperor Suwen had many concubines and was old, so it was inevitable that he was unable to do so.
Later, the young guard brought clothes and food every now and then, and even secretly repaired the roof of the cold palace. The two of them would hang out together whenever they had the chance.
Soon, Concubine Shu became pregnant, so she started planning a bold plan in her mind.
The two of them had their own ulterior motives and were plotting against each other.
Concubine Shu was obsessed with the body of the young guard, and the young guard had the wild idea that his child could achieve success overnight.
At the palace banquet, ministers toasted one after another, and Emperor Suwen was in a very good mood.
"You all should go back and be with your families early. I won't keep you here any longer." After saying that, he turned and left.
Yun Ruyan naturally attended the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. After all, she was the principal wife, and the Second Prince had to bring her along.
On the carriage back to the palace, Yun Ruyan lowered her status even more, speaking softly and bowing her head to admit her mistakes. The Second Prince looked at Yun Ruyan's thin appearance and found her very charming, so he took Yun Ruyan's hand and said:
"Yan'er, you are the principal wife. I don't want you to be narrow-minded. How can you be the mother of the country in the future? Do you understand what I mean?" The second prince said in a majestic tone.
When Yun Ruyan heard this, she was filled with joy. It turned out that the Second Prince regarded her as his principal wife and hoped that she could show a broad mind and be a model for the country.
This made her extremely excited because she had always longed for the recognition and favor of the Second Prince.
Yun Ruyan lowered her head, trying to hide her inner excitement. She responded softly:
"I know I was wrong and will not make such a mistake again. Your Majesty, you are right. As the principal wife, I should be tolerant and generous and not argue with the concubines. From now on, I will try my best to get along well with other women in the palace."
After saying this, Yun Ruyan took the initiative to lean her head on the second prince's chest to express her gentleness and obedience to him.
The Second Prince felt Yun Ruyan's obedience and was filled with satisfaction. He thought he had successfully tamed Yun Ruyan, so he said with satisfaction:
"Well, since you have understood the truth, I will not pursue it any further. From today on, you will no longer be confined and can move freely. Tonight, I will stay in your yard."
At this time, the Regent's Palace was a scene of great bustle. The servants in the palace were all in high spirits, laughing and talking. They were busy shuttling between the rooms, preparing for the upcoming festival.
After Yun Yuxi returned to the palace, she personally directed her servants to set up several tables in the hall, preparing to hold a grand dinner so that the entire palace could celebrate this special moment together.
In the kitchen, the chefs were busy cooking all kinds of delicious food, and the aroma filled the air. Exquisite dishes were served one after another, making people salivate. The whole palace was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and it was very lively.
Emperor Suwen was inspired and came quietly with the empress dowager.
The servants took turns to sit at the table to eat. It was a lively scene, and they toasted each other. They were moved by the generosity and tolerance of their princess.
Suddenly, the hoarse voice of Eunuch Liu was heard: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived."
Afterwards, Emperor Suwen and the Empress Dowager, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the Regent's hall.
