SFS Chapter 114 Order to Rest
Chapter 114 Order to Rest
Concubine Mei has been fighting in the palace all her life, and she doesn't want to create trouble at such an old age.
The journey was bumpy and rocky. Except for Song Chuji and several ministers who accompanied him, the female members were generally not very comfortable. Hui'an even endured the discomfort and continued to serve Nie Shuangshuang wholeheartedly.
Nie Shuangshuang hasn't been away from home for a long time. The life here is not as good as the life in the palace, and she will be punished if she goes out.
Fortunately, she didn't have symptoms like dizziness and nausea, but the weather was too hot and she didn't feel much better.
Although I put ice cubes on my forehead and in my mouth, the weather was still so hot that it got hotter the closer I got to the south.
Besides, it is normal to have headaches and fevers after such a long journey.
Nie Shuangshuang woke up groggy and glanced at Hui'an who was sleeping beside her and still fanning her out of habit. She frowned and smiled, saying softly, "Huian"
Hui'an didn't wake up.
Nie Shuangshuang could only push her gently with her hand.
Hui An woke up with a start and found that Nie Shuangshuang beside him had already woken up. He quickly went over and asked, "Your Majesty, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Nie Shuangshuang shook her head lightly, feeling the bumps under her body, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you stop and rest?"
She was tired even though she was riding in a carriage, not to mention those who were riding on horseback.
"You should have rested. It's been so long and Your Majesty hasn't said anything. I guess you've been discussing state affairs with the ministers for too long and have forgotten."
Hui'an felt a little sorry for the people accompanying him. They were tired and hot, but they still had to stay alert to protect the safety of His Majesty and the Queen. It was not easy to be a secret guard.
Nie Shuangshuang sighed when he heard this, "Go and give the order. Everyone should rest here. We will set off again after they have rested enough."
People are not made of iron. She understood that Song Chuji wanted to go to Jiangnan as soon as possible to deal with the flood, but this was not something that could be done in a short time.
We still have to take it slow. You can't grow wings and fly to Jiangnan in the blink of an eye!
Hui An was stunned. "Your Highness, are you kidding? His Majesty and Concubine Mei are here. If you rashly ask them to stop, it might be inappropriate."
Hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, Concubine Mei is too old to stand the bumps, and I think she is not feeling well at the moment. As for your majesty... someone who is so busy that he doesn't even have time to spare will naturally not pay attention to these details.
I am the Queen, and I should handle these matters for Your Majesty."
Hui'an couldn't persuade her in the end, so he had to go out and make his own decision to stop the army.
Concubine Mei was vomiting violently in the carriage at this moment. The senior palace maid Liao Wei beside her was serving her very reluctantly, but was rolling her eyes secretly.
Liao Wei originally served Concubine Xuan. Although she was respectful to Song Chuji's mother and Concubine Mei on the surface, she actually did a lot of things to sow discord between them in front of Concubine Xuan.
He deliberately spoke ill of them, and his words were so vicious that they were unbearable to hear.
They said that these unclean women would still be unclean once they entered the palace, and the children they conceived would definitely not be able to support His Majesty. They also said that such vixen and bitches should be beaten and scolded every day to behave themselves, otherwise they would always think about climbing to a high position!
After listening to her instigation, Concubine Xuan naturally went even further towards Concubine Mei and Song Chuji's mother. After forcing Song Chuji's mother to death, she shifted her target to Concubine Mei.
Unfortunately, by mistake, she was transferred to serve in the palace of Concubine Mei. Because she was not a popular figure among Concubine Xuan, she was asked to leave and no one tried to keep her.
After she served Concubine Mei, she originally thought that Concubine Mei, or Empress Mei at that time, would severely punish her, but she did not expect that Empress Mei did not vent her anger on her, and after a few interactions, she became more sincere towards her.
Liao Wei was quick-witted and had many ideas, which helped make Concubine Mei's life in the palace much easier.
Later, Song Chuji returned to the capital. She remembered vividly the end of Concubine Xuan. She had seen it with her own eyes, and only she knew how horrible and bloody it was.
Therefore, she did not dare to violate His Majesty's taboo. That's why she didn't say a word after Concubine Mei said that the Queen was Song Chuji's favorite girl.
She knew very well what kind of person Song Chuji was, but she still felt unwilling in her heart.
She is now Concubine Mei, the most capable maidservant beside the most senior concubine in the palace. If she could become a noble lady to His Majesty, she would definitely be favored because of her beauty.
She has never seen the Empress Dowager, and has been living in Ganye Temple with Concubine Mei, with her eyes still fixed on the imperial palace of the past.
The previous emperor was not picky about food, and there were all kinds of beauties in the palace, some of whom were plump and some thin. Some concubines even looked very strange, but Song Chuji's harem was full of beauties.
Nie Shuangshuang is the most beautiful one, incomparable. Liao Wei is so confident only because she doesn't understand the situation yet.
After all, it is impossible for His Majesty to have only one woman in his life, and the Queen only gained favor by using some trick.
Liao Wei is very ambitious and only wants to be Song Chuji's concubine.
So there is a slight hostility towards the Queen.
Concubine Mei felt very uncomfortable because of vomiting. She cursed countless times in her heart why they didn't stop to rest for a while and recharge their energy. Suddenly, the carriage stopped and the guards around her also began to dismount and rest.
Curiously asked a little girl, "Is this an order from His Majesty?"
Apart from Song Chuji, who else can make the decision to stop the team?
The little girl laughed and said, "You are joking, Concubine Dowager. Your Majesty is busy discussing state affairs with several ministers. How can he have time to care about these things? It was the Queen Mother who gave the order, saying that the servants are tired and should rest before leaving.
This is not something that can be done in a hurry. We can't all grow wings and fly to Jiangnan!"
After saying that, she skipped and ran to play with her little sisters. This little girl also followed Nie Shuangshuang and was Huian's subordinate.
She was efficient and knew some martial arts. She was young but very agile, so Hui'an took her as his disciple and taught her when he was free. She had a high level of comprehension and learned quickly, and her martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.
After hearing her words, Concubine Mei was stunned for a moment, then she raised her lips and smiled. It seemed that His Majesty really doted on the Queen.
The key point is that I heard that the queen is kind and compassionate, gentle and dignified to everyone, and is not a mean person. His Majesty is especially fond of her.
Fortunately, Song Chuji did not learn from his father to indulge in wine, sex and beautiful women. He governed the country in an orderly manner and was no less capable than any previous emperor.
Although there are many people in the harem, the only one who is truly favored is the queen, and she is quite loyal.
