Chapter 298 Troubled Times 18
Using a small trick to save the maid's life, Wushuang continued to talk about Ben.

These two people, one is the imperial concubine and the other is the prince, they are not masters who will take care of others, and they will not let Wushuang leave until they have heard.

Fortunately, there are only to words in this book, and Wushuang talked for a whole morning, had dinner in the palace, and talked for another hour or so, and finally finished talking and was able to leave the palace.

I've been talking dry for most of the day, Wushuang thought about it, read all those stories when I get back, never take anything over words, otherwise I won't have to talk until midnight.

But thinking of the dangers in the palace today, Wushuang had to lament that this imperial concubine is really difficult to get along with, and he should be more careful when getting along in the future.

Next, Wushuang would go to the palace almost every two days to tell stories to the imperial concubine.

The charm of the novel was irresistible, the imperial concubine could wait for two days at first, but later she couldn't wait anymore, and sent people to recruit Wushuang into the palace to tell her stories every day.

When Wushuang told the story, out of the three times, Yuan Zhongjian listened with him twice.

Two months passed like this, during which Chu Nanze came to Wushuang twice, the intention was to persuade her not to get too close to the imperial concubine.

But seeing Wushuang pretending to be stupid, Chu Nanze had no choice but to shake his sleeves and leave every time.

Wushuang also didn't want to implicate Chu Nanze, making people feel that the general was flattering the imperial concubine.

So Xiao Baizhi spread rumors that Chu Nanze and his wife had a bad relationship, so the general's wife went to curry favor with the imperial concubine every day in order to ensure her status.

As a result, no one said that Chu Nanze was flattering the imperial concubine, but Wushuang's reputation became less pleasant.

But Wushuang didn't care, she didn't communicate with anyone except to see the imperial concubine, so it didn't matter if her reputation was good or not.

In the future, when she completes her major affairs and leaves the General's Mansion to get rid of the name of the General's wife, no one will know who she is.

The reason why Wushuang was so worried about Chu Nanze was because she was about to offend Chu Nanze severely.

During this period of time, Chu Nanze and the emperor had been arguing for so long, and they didn't even have to pay a penny of the food, and the soldiers at the border were still waiting for the food to continue their lives.

Chu Nanze was also forced to do nothing, so he focused his attention on the emperor's birthday gift.

Jiangnan Governor Song Zhiyuan is the emperor's confidant and important minister, Jiangnan has always been the court's pocketbook, Song Zhiyuan's confidant is to help the emperor guard the pocketbook.

To become the emperor's confidant, one naturally knows the emperor's preferences very well, and will especially flatter the emperor.

Every year on the emperor's birthday, Song Zhiyuan gave the most birthday presents, and most of the people's fat and people's ointment he searched for were here.

This is also where Song Zhiyuan is smart. He is greedy, but he knows how to last. He sent most of the money he got greedy to the emperor.

Then the silver left by him became the benefit of the emperor's acquiescence to him. If someone in the court impeaches him, the emperor will be the first to escort him.

So even though Song Zhiyuan knew everything about the government and the public, he had been occupying the vacancy of governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and he was able to stand still, relying on the emperor to protect him.

Chu Nanze really had no choice. If he couldn't get food and pay, his soldiers would really have nothing to eat for half a year at most.

Chu Nanze planned to take the risk and robbed Song Zhiyuan's birthday present to the emperor as food and transported it back to the border.

When Chu Nanze sent someone to ambush Song Zhiyuan's birthday ceremony, Wushuang also visited his father Xiao Baizhi once.

The purpose is to let Xiao Baizhi rob these birthday gifts in advance and hide them, so that no one can find them.

Xiao Baizhi's business is spread all over the country, and now it's a troubled time, with bandits and water thieves everywhere, so he naturally has a group of armed forces in his hand to ensure that his goods can pass anywhere safely.

Although the number of these armed forces is small, it is impossible to do any major rebellion.

But after this period of time, after training according to the military training method given by Wushuang, it was still easy to intercept Song Zhiyuan's birthday gift.

Wushuang handed over this matter to Xiao Baizhi with confidence. His mind is very shrewd, otherwise the business would not be able to do such a big business.

After finishing the matter of pinching Chu Nanze's neck and offending others to death, Wushuang continued to go to the palace every day to read novels to the imperial concubine as if nothing happened.

The greatest pleasure for the imperial concubine now is to listen to Wushuang's reading novels, and she is a little impatient to deal with even the emperor's side.

In particular, the protagonists in the novel are all handsome men and beautiful women, but in reality, she is so beautiful, but she is matched with such an ugly man as the emperor.

The man who used to be flattered and patient because of the imperial power, recently made the imperial concubine feel disgusted every time he faced each other.

The imperial concubine always strictly guarded against allowing anyone around the emperor to climb into bed, but the day before yesterday a court lady was pulled into bed by the emperor.

If it were in the past, the end of the court lady would either be thrown to the cold palace by the imperial concubine, or ordered to be beaten to death.

But this time the imperial concubine who heard the news couldn't be bothered to embarrass the maid.

In particular, because the emperor had slept with another woman, he deliberately stayed with the imperial concubine for a few more days to appease her, but the result was that the imperial concubine felt that the days were like years.

Looking at the emperor's old face, his whole body is not strong, but he still has to show joy and clinginess.

Early in the morning, the emperor accompanied him to dinner, looking at the increasingly ugly face of the other party, the delicacies on the table made the imperial concubine find it difficult to swallow.

It was so hard to endure until the meal was over, the emperor didn't even leave, he dragged the imperial concubine to watch her dance.

The smile on the imperial concubine's face was about to froze, she pulled her cheeks, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, it's all because of my concubine who accidentally sprained her foot while practicing the new dance.

The concubine may not be able to dance for the past two days, and the emperor's pleasure will be spoiled. Why not go to the Baixi Garden to listen to the opera. "

The imperial concubine's words are also very flattering. She will perform new dances every year on the emperor's birthday. When she said this, she told the emperor that she hurt her foot in order to dance for his birthday.

Sure enough, the emperor held the imperial concubine's hand with a distressed expression, and said with concern: "Why didn't you tell me that your foot was hurt? I don't have to watch you dance on your birthday. You don't have to rush to dance."

The imperial concubine lowered her head shyly, and said softly: "It's not a big deal at all, besides, it's my concubine's wish to perform dances on His Majesty's birthday every year, how can I not be serious about it."

The emperor said with a gentle face: "I like the concubine the most. If the concubine hurts herself in order to please me, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse."

The imperial concubine endured her nausea and lay down in the emperor's arms, she said shyly, "Your majesty, I know that the emperor loves my concubine, but I also hope that the emperor can know my concubine's heart.

Everything owned by the concubine is given by the emperor, only this dance is the concubine's own, which can show the concubine's sincerity.

It's a pity that the concubine hurt her foot and didn't have time to practice dancing. This year's new dance might disappoint the emperor. "
