Chapter 511 We Are Not Going
Ruyi's Yanxi Palace fell quiet again.
For a while, the entire palace became quiet. Not only did no one compete for favor, but many people even began to avoid favor.
Hongli clearly felt the coldness of the concubines towards him, and he felt very annoyed.
Except for those little girls he had fun with before, he couldn't have fun anywhere else he went. This repeated occurrence made him more and more irritated and unbearable. It happened to be spring again, so he prepared to go to the south of the Yangtze River again to divert his attention.
As soon as the news of the southern tour came out, the concubines' enthusiasm for Hongli finally rekindled.
From the moment the concubines entered the palace, without the emperor's consent, they could be imprisoned in the Forbidden City for the rest of their lives. Even to see their parents and closest relatives they had to wait until they climbed to a high position and were eight months pregnant. This was not the case even for their closest relatives, let alone going out and seeing the world.
Therefore, even though everyone tacitly disliked the emperor for being dirty, they were still willing to take the risk, just to be able to take a dragon boat trip to the south of the Yangtze River and see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Hongli was very depressed about this, and not only depressed, he was also confused.
But this matter cannot be thoroughly investigated, so I can only keep it to myself.
However, he was coaxed by the concubines recently, and instead of feeling happy, he became even more annoyed - it seemed that they were only willing to serve him because of the benefits he could bring!
During this year, Yan Wan was always ill, and Concubine Rong was cold and untalkative, so he went to complain to Empress Fucha.
Empress Fucha hesitated to speak, and finally just smiled: "I guess you sisters just don't know how to please the emperor, so you just stay away for now."
Hongli's ears turned red: "The Queen knew that I was fooling around before, why didn't you try to persuade me?"
Empress Fucha said softly, "The emperor was busy handling state affairs, but he was just playing around with the little concubines. They were all willing and did not violate the palace rules. Later, Concubine Yao and Concubine Qing broke the palace rules, but the emperor did not indulge them because he loved them."
She looked at him tenderly: "You know what's going on, so I won't try to be smart."
Hongli felt more and more embarrassed. Now that he was older, some things could be played around in private, but it was really embarrassing for his wife, the queen, to know it so clearly and even praise her.
Although he was ashamed, he saw that Empress Fucha looked frank and trusted him a lot, so she didn't open her mouth to stop him from preaching. So he also became frank: "Let's not talk about Yan Wan. She has always been in poor health. After giving birth to Yongyan, she often stayed in bed and didn't sleep with him.
But do you know that Concubine Mei, Concubine Shu, and even Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu are also pretending to be sick, and they even asked people to remove the green card. This is really just short of writing their disdain for me on their faces!"
Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Empress Fucha knew that she could not avoid the admonition today, so she said tactfully: "There is some hidden story behind this, it is about women's illness, it is not a big deal, but I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand my sisters, so I... beg the emperor to forgive me, forgive me for polluting your ears."
Hongli didn't expect to hear this: "Women's disease?"
He frowned, not really understanding what the woman's illness was: "Are they really sick?"
But when he looked at their ruddy faces, they didn't look like they were sick.
Empress Fucha was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty knows that men and women... are somewhat different... Because of physical reasons, women are more susceptible to diseases than men, especially women's diseases can be transmitted to each other. Once infected, it is..."
She forced a smile: "It's itchy, painful, and in severe cases, there's bleeding. Some healthy people, after being infected, have endless menstruation and are in excruciating pain... As for more, I don't know much, but I know it's very serious."
Hongli frowned as he listened, and when he saw that Empress Fucha stopped talking, he vaguely realized something.
They are...disdaining Ruyi!
Yes.
Ever since he started staying in the Yanxi Palace, they started to avoid his favor!
He was so angry that he laughed: "This is ridiculous. If there really was something wrong, why am I fine? Aren't those servants all fine too?"
Empress Fucha smiled bitterly and said, "This disease does not cause external injuries. Only the individual knows the difficulty. If they don't tell us, how can the emperor know? As long as they wash off the smell before serving and pretend nothing happened afterwards, the emperor is so powerful, how can he notice their pretending to be calm?"
Hongli frowned: "..."
He suddenly remembered that he was annoyed that Concubine Rong was becoming increasingly cold towards him, so he went straight to Baoyue Tower to ask her to serve him while he was drunk. Half a month after that, she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.
original……
It’s so!
No wonder she became increasingly cold towards him after that, and refused to tell him even when asked. When she was pushed to the limit, she even developed a mental illness and almost died from a high fever.
Hongli realized later that he had been like a poison source for more than a year. He felt ashamed and angry, and was furious: "What a joke! How dare you serve me when you are ill! How do the Jingshifang and the Imperial Hospital do their job? Damn it!"
After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left.
Looking at his appearance, Empress Fucha guessed that he was going to cause trouble for someone.
There was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Ruyi is ill. Is this the first time the emperor knows about it?
When he only cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about Ruyi's health, he deserves to be despised like Ruyi.
It's a pity that he has the nerve to be angry.
Something that is dirty without knowing it.
She glanced at the cushion that Hongli had sat on, and with a push of her hand, she swept the teacup off the table. Looking at the damp cushion, she said helplessly, "I was so weak that I knocked over the cup. Go clean it up and bring me another set of the same kind."
"Yes."
She waited until the house was clean before she went to visit Yanwan.
Yan Wan pretended to be sick to outsiders, so naturally she lay in bed most of the time. At this moment, she was playing with Xiao Shiliu.
When she saw Empress Fucha coming, she wanted to come down.
Empress Fucha said softly, "Sit down."
He reached out and picked up the gurgling little Sixteen, teased him and talked to him for a long time before asking the wet nurse to take the child away to feed him complementary food.
Chunchan stood guard at the door with a familiar look on her face.
Yan Wan looked at Empress Fucha: "Has the Emperor finally come to his senses?"
Empress Fucha's eyes were cold: "The emperor is certainly not wrong. The ones who are wrong are us who concealed the truth and let him bear the risk."
Yan Wan sneered: "It just so happens that the emperor hates us, so just don't take us to Jiangnan."
Empress Fucha looked at her and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Yan Wan nodded: "The emperor has become more and more self-indulgent in recent years. Now he has been seduced by Concubine Yao and has learned some bad things. He has tasted the excitement that he doesn't get from sleeping with the emperor normally, so he will naturally not be satisfied. Now that Concubine Yao is no longer useful, I'm afraid she will look for something more exciting.
I have heard that there are many beauties in Jiangnan. There is a type of woman called Yangzhou thin horse. They are kept since childhood, have a clean body, and are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are considered a kind of courtesan. They are specially kept by the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan to bribe officials and win over people. "
Empress Fucha was shocked: "You mean..."
It would be bad enough if the emperor just acted foolishly in the palace, but would he actually openly visit prostitutes?
He can't be that... crazy?!
