Hong Xiu knelt on the ground, with her head resting on Han Lin'er's lap, she listened quietly, her current identity is very ambiguous, not a concubine, but she is not a court lady, she is like Han Lin'er's pet, and she is called to play. Go now.

But even so, Hong Xiu didn't dare to show half impatience.

When Han Lin'er looked for her, he said most often about childhood and adolescence.

At that time, Han Shantong was still alive, and he admired and respected his father, always thinking that one day he would let his father admire him.

But before he let his father admire him, his omnipotent father died, and he was protected by his uncles and escaped and became the emperor.

But this emperor was not passed down to him by his father, and Han Shantong was not proclaimed emperor when he died, and his throne was not well-known.

After the uncles pushed him to this position, they tried every means to control him. Although he was an emperor, he was not as good as a small official. He could only dominate the king in the harem. The courtiers he liked were willing to entrust important tasks. Liu Futong was killed.

Killed more than one.

The sense of frustration and humiliation in Han Lin'er's heart increased day by day and never diminished.

But he is not a brave man in essence, he dared not fight against Liu Futong.

He did not dare to confide in the concubines of the harem. Although he and them were lying on the same bed, the closest relationship in everyone's eyes, Han Lin'er was not stupid. He knew that these concubines had their own families, and their families were all Attached to Liu Futong, but Liu Futong's head is the only one who looks at him. He, the emperor, is not so valuable in the eyes of those people.

Red sleeves are different. She is just a court lady who is not valued by the queen. She does not have an excellent family. She has not even received a good education. She is illiterate. Moreover, she has the same experience as him, a great father who died young, from the outside world. The pressure, they are so the same.

Han Lin'er stroked Red Sleeve's hair and asked softly, "Xiu'er, only you understand me."

Red Sleeve's voice was very soft: "The servant girl understands."

Han Lin'er sighed, as if thinking of something again, she suddenly said angrily: "What else does he want? Now the soldiers are in his hands, and I can't intervene in the army. He said whoever enters the harem. Forget it, even in the court, I can't speak anymore now."

"What's the point of being an emperor of me? He is so domineering, what kind of emperor is he making me? It's better to let him be, and let him be, it's better than I'm being so frustrated now!"

Han Lin'er's expression was angry and helpless.

Hong Xiu understands that this man is a cowardly man. He is not stupid. On the contrary, he is still very smart, but he dare not change. He is afraid that if he loses in the battle against Liu Futong, he will even even his current position. Can't keep it, this throne is the only thing he has now, and without this throne, he is not as good as ordinary people.

It is difficult for him to fight for power with Liu Futong.

Hong Xiu let out a sigh. She thought she could encourage Han Lin'er's ambition, but now it seems that he does not lack ambition. He only lacks courage, and courage cannot be encouraged. She can anger Han Lin'er, but the anger is short-lived. When the anger subsided, Han Lin'er would choose to be dull again after hesitating.

"The emperor, Taishi also wants to share your worries." Hong Xiu said softly, "Maybe it's just because Taishi is too nervous for you."

Han Lin'er sneered: "You don't know. I only appointed a small official before. He asked a team to kill him and appointed himself as the Taishi Taibao. From beginning to end, no one asked me a question. As the king of a country, you can't even appoint an official. What is the point of being an emperor?"

He tossed over and over again, saying only those few words, either "I am the emperor is boring", or "I might as well let the Taishi be the emperor".

Hong Xiu can only comfort him continuously.

"The emperor is the lord of the world, presumably the Taishi just got the horns." Red Sleeve whispered, "There is no difference between a courtier and a concubine."

Han Lin'er was amused by Hong Xiu's words: "What an official can do, a concubine can't do it."

Hong Xiu made a cowardly look: "But whether it is an official or a concubine, I want to be favored by the emperor."

Han Lin'er narrowed his eyes: "What they want is the favor of the Taishi."

Hongsiu stopped talking.

Han Lin'er thought that Hong Xiu was frightened, and softly coaxed: "I can only say these things to you. I know that Xiu'er is different from others."

He truly believed that Hong Xiu loved him, not the throne under his ass.

"I want to make you a concubine!" Han Lin'er said suddenly, "I can't control the front dynasty, can't the harem also work?"

Hong Xiu was taken aback by Han Lin'er's magical pen. She wanted to persuade her. After all, although she had no position now, she was always by Han Lin'er. For her, it was better than staying in the bedroom and waiting for Han Lin'er to come.

Hongsiu looked at Han Lin'er with tears in his eyes.

Red sleeves weeped: "The servant girl doesn't want a position... The servant girl only wants to be by your majesty's side. If you seal the concubine, you can only stay in the palace. If your majesty forgets the servant girl, what should the servant girl do?"

She grabbed her chest and couldn't stop the tears flowing: "Every time the servant girl thinks about this, she feels chest pain is unbearable and can't sleep at night."

Han Lin'er believes that Hong Xiu loves him. In this harem, Hong Xiu has no foundation. After following him, it is equivalent to breaking with the queen. Therefore, Hong Xiu will definitely hold him hard. She is the only one standing in the harem. This is Han Lin'er's favorite.

Han Lin'er is very confident about this.

Hongxiu can't do without him.

This is the first time Han Lin'er has experienced such a desperately needed feeling.

His previous dynasty did not need him. Liu Futong controlled everything. Since the officials appointed by him were killed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty no longer worked on him, but instead focused all their energy on how to please Liu Futong.

And the women in the harem...the women in the harem have their own way of living. They need Han Lin'er's favor, but they are not able to live without the favor. They are all selected by Liu Futong. Compared with the emperor Han Lin'er, they are the most important in their hearts. It's their family.

Han Lin'er knew clearly how isolated and helpless he was in this palace.

The courtiers just wanted to rob him of power, and the concubines just wanted to give birth to his children smoothly.

Even Li Guifei and Han Lin'er believe that even if he no longer visits her or spoils her, she can live well in the palace.

This shows the preciousness of Red Sleeve. This woman was born by relying on him completely. He is her heaven and her land.

In front of her, he was more like a real emperor.

If he is gone, she will lose everything.

Han Lin'er stroked Red Sleeve's beautiful face, kissed her with nostalgia, embraced her, but did not touch her deeper.

Hong Xiu always wondered why Han Lin'er didn't touch her. She had a way to conceal the fact that she was not a virgin. The women in the brothel would use these methods. The old bustard always wanted to sell their first night a few more times so that she could make more money.

After Han Lin'er left, Hong Xiu sat at the table and poured herself a cup of cold tea. It has been a long time since she passed a message to the fourth and the others. Although she was with Han Lin'er, Han Lin'er did not want to fight Liu Futong for power. The idea of ​​power, even if she has the ability to reach the sky, she can't make it.

She was more anxious in her heart than anyone, but she still had to cheer up to deal with Han Lin'er and the queen.

The queen was also in a hurry. She tried every means to send Hongxiu to Han Lin'er. The purpose was to make Hongxiu a concubine and live in or near the concubine Li's palace, so that she could abort Li Guifei's child and she could continue to secure her seat.

But Hong Xiu hadn't sealed her concubine for a long time, and she couldn't ask Han Lin'er.

After all, only when Han Lin'er believed that Hong Xiu was not hers, could Hong Xiu get close to Li Guifei.

Red sleeves unfolded the secret letter sent by the queen.

The queen was asking why she hadn't been sealed as a concubine, and why she hadn't approached Li Guifei.

In addition to questioning, the queen also moved emotionally, expressing that she was worried that Hong Xiu would not sleep all night, she regarded Hong Xiu as her own sister, and promised that as long as she gave birth to a child in the future, she would be willing to let Hong Xiu raise her together.

Finally, she also intimately asked if Han Lin'er didn't like Red Sleeve. If Han Lin'er didn't care about Red Sleeve, she would continue to think of ways.

Hong Xiu looked at this letter and felt that although the queen was the mother of a country, she was also so sad, perhaps no different from her prostitute.

The queen begged her in the letter, and begged a little court lady, who pinned all the hopes of the queen.

Hong Xiu burned the letter.

If this letter were to circulate, she would not have to establish a foothold in the palace.

What's more, her goal was never the queen, but Han Lin'er. Her gaze was not at the harem, but at the front.

The queen is just her springboard. She uses the queen to approach Han Lin'er. She has achieved her goal, and the queen naturally loses all the value of use.

Hong Xiu was biting her lip. She was in the harem now, and she was just a little court lady, unable to reach the front at all.

It would be great if she was a man. She had cut off that thing and served as a servant, but she was in a better situation than she is now. After all, the servant could contact officials, and could think of more ways anyway.

The more this time, Hong Xiu knew that she should be calmer. She found an in-house waiter and asked him who Han Lin'er had announced. She would give him some benefits, no more, no less, and more. , Feed the waiter’s appetite, and it will be more difficult to ask in the future.

She didn't worry about what the servant would doubt, after all, it was common for the imperial concubine to inquire about the emperor's movements, and everyone knew nothing about it.

The servant told Hong Xiu: "The emperor announced about Liu Yuan."

Red sleeves stuffed the gold bracelet to the waiter.

The Liu Yuan affair refers to Liu Liu, who has been named Ping Zhang Yuan affair and has real power.

Back then, he was banned together with Du Zundao, but Du Zundao was killed by Liu Futong.

Hong Xiu finally had a smile on his face.

She knew where to start.

She, a woman controlled by Han Lin'er, could not agitate his ambitions.

But a heavy minister with real power, yes.
