Chapter 74: Presenting the Bell
Chapter 74 Bell Presentation
The emperor was in a bad mood, and the people in front of him behaved cautiously.
If "zuo" comes from being pampered, the emperor is the best in the world. After all, everyone in the harem has to play by his temper. He was not happy that Jiang Xian accompanied the queen mother to worship the Buddha directly after having a conflict with him.
He even offered to worship Buddha for a month.
One month!
Isn't she afraid that I will forget her?
When this question arises, the emperor will really never forget her. He will feel resentful about her, but he doesn't want to admit it, so he says with a sullen face: "I want to eat milk cake, let Ma Wanyi bring it to me."
On the other side, Ma Wanyi, who had been summoned by grace, was overjoyed. The milk cakes were prepared in the imperial kitchen, so she only had to dress herself up and go to the imperial palace to serve.
"But why is it milk cake?"
Sweet snacks like milk cakes should be eaten by children.
In fact, Ma Wanyi didn't accompany him many times, and she didn't know the emperor's tastes, but the emperor had a stern face and the slightly raised corners of his eyes showed his unique compassion. She couldn't imagine that such a man would like to eat sweet milk.
Cake, so another thought came into my mind.
She was dressing up when the maid next to her said with a smile: "The emperor must have found a reason to want to see the master, otherwise there is no need for the queen to send a milk cake." Seeing that the master was silent, a blush appeared on her cheeks, she continued.
: "Not to mention asking for a piece of milk cake by name - it's obvious that the drunkard doesn't care about the cake. Seeing how I dress up the queen beautifully, I will definitely be able to regain my favor in one fell swoop!"
Ma Wanyi was greatly moved when she heard this.
Yes, Concubine Rong and Gu Guiren were both taken into the Buddhist hall by the Queen Mother.
Apart from the two of them, Lu Ronghua was the one who turned over the most cards by the emperor. Lu Ronghua had her cards removed while she was ill. There were also rumors that she was banned by the emperor in disguise because she offended Sheng Yan when she was in bed.
Now is the time for her to take the lead!
Ma Wanyi, who was all dressed up, carried a plate of milk cakes to the Qiankun Palace. The emperor sat in front of the case with a frown on his face. After she knelt down and saluted, he called out: "Come here and study ink."
Ma Wanyi had no choice but to put down her snacks and go over to study ink.
As soon as she got closer, the emperor's brows frowned even more.
Ma Wanyi's body has a sultry scent of incense, which is used to enhance the pleasure of the boudoir. It's not to the point of being a medicine, but it can at best be used to add pleasure.
The emperor was not picky about the concubine's incense.
But at this moment, he remembered that Jiang Xian only came to Qiankun Palace to accompany him, and she must have no fragrance at all. He once thought that he had summoned her in a hurry and she had no time to prepare. Now that he thought about it, how could it be such a coincidence? It was just her
I don't want to interfere with his work.
"Your Majesty, I have finished studying ink."
At this time, Ma Wanyi called the Emperor coquettishly and leaned closer.
The fragrance became stronger, and the beauty leaned over as softly as if she were boneless. An ordinary man would have lost half of his bones. However, the emperor raised his hand to block it and said softly: "You are blocking my light."
Hearing this, Ma Wanyi had no choice but to move aside and looked at the emperor eagerly.
The emperor glanced at the ink she had polished.
She was afraid of getting her hands dirty, so she only rubbed a little bit of ink and poured it on him impatiently, her thoughts clearly revealed.
Jiang Xian is not like this.
Jiang Xian also loves to act coquettishly and is even more shameless than Ma Wanyi when it comes to clinging to people. However, after entering Qiankun Palace, she looks like a completely different person. He knows which dossier he wants to take as soon as he turns his eyes, and she takes it without him having to say anything.
Then it was delivered to him. When he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea, the temperature of the tea was always moderate. If he wanted to use fruit, he preferred fruits with heavy sweetness and less juice. She also cut them one by one with her own hands, inserting delicate and cute little silver ones.
Feel free to use the fork.
When driving with you, if you ask her for nothing, she can clean all the white threads on the oranges.
Just so he can have the most delicious bite.
He always said that he could just tell his subordinates to do these things, but he was actually happy because Jiang Xian did it with his own hands.
"Your Majesty, would you like some milk cake? Your Majesty said he wanted to eat this. I made it myself..."
"Really?" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at her without emotion: "How do you make milk cake? Come and tell me."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Wanyi's pretty face lost all color.
The biggest taboo in the workplace is not doing some homework before accepting credit.
When the leader asked about the process and didn't know anything about it, he left a bad and stupid impression.
"My lord, my concubine..."
Ma Wanyi also knew that deceiving the emperor was a serious crime. She opened her bright eyes in panic, knelt down in fear, and admitted her mistake. The emperor looked away indifferently, but in his mind, he remembered Jiang Xian holding her hand and pressing it on hers.
On the waist, all the vital parts were exposed in front of him.
The women in the harem are weak and all they want is the favor to settle down and live in peace.
"Well, it's me who scared you. I just asked casually. It doesn't matter if I can't tell you."
Because of Jiang Xian's words, he let Ma Wanyi go gently: "Put the milk cake here. I can eat it myself. You can go down."
Ma Wanyi excused herself uneasily.
After she retreated, the emperor complained to Liang Yuyin: "Ma Wanyi has been an old man in the palace for a long time. He is used to flattering people and asking for favors. He can't even do the job of polishing ink well."
"In my opinion, Empress Wanyi may have been a little anxious because she hasn't seen His Majesty for a long time."
"I think she hopes that I will serve her in turn!"
The emperor snorted coldly and became even more unhappy.
After a while, he said: "Where's Chen Yasheng from Yi Zhuxuan? Pass her over."
Mrs. Chen is honest, so the chauffeur will not be obsessed with him.
After a while, Chen promised to arrive at Qiankun Palace.
After all, she was someone who learned the rules well in Chuxiu Palace and was later taken by Jiang Xian to review the rules with her grandma. Even though He Xiang was worried that she had behaved inappropriately before the emperor, she did not make any mistakes until she was called out by the emperor.
When the emperor saw Chen Yaosheng, he was wearing a sky-green palace dress. Except for the dark embroidered patterns, there were no extra decorations. There was only one emerald green bracelet all over his body. The color was brighter. It looked refreshing and refreshing, and he felt better.
: "Come here and polish the ink."
The emperor's official business case was particularly long, so Chen promised Fu to polish the ink on one end, and then carefully brought it to the emperor's hands.
She grinded for a long time. The emperor glanced at the inkstone, which was almost overflowing, and felt suffocated in his heart.
"Who taught you to sharpen ink like this?"
Chen promised Nan Ran: "I am a self-taught master without a teacher, and the emperor has given me too much praise."
"..."
No matter how talkative this person is, I can't understand him.
The emperor paused and asked her: "I went to Changle Palace today to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. What do you think?"
She is the sister who has the best relationship with Jiang Xian in the harem. Asking her to speak by name is equivalent to giving Jiang Xian a chance to talk.
Chen agreed: "The decoration outside Changle Palace is low-key and luxurious, while the interior is simple and elegant."
"I'm asking about what happened in Changle Palace."
He reminded her.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yasheng also knew how to avoid suspicion and not answer directly, but his ability to change the subject was a bit shallow.
"Back to the emperor," Chen promised even more embarrassedly: "I have a low status. I can only stand outside the palace when greeting the Queen Mother. I don't know anything about what happened inside."
The emperor remembered that this was still a promise, so he asked in vain.
He couldn't help but feel anxious, and said in front of Chen Yasuo: "Ma Wanyi is not attentive in serving me, and Chen Yasuo is as dumb as a piece of wood, so no one can be satisfied. It's better for you, Liang Yuyin, to write with this ink!"
In a blink of an eye, the ink will flow out.
Liang Yuyin was afraid to answer the question, so he stepped forward to replace the inkstone and grind the ink again.
Normally, when the emperor was in a bad mood, the concubines would come to put out the fire.
Liang Yuyin glanced at Chen Yaosheng standing next to him. He actually didn't say a word. He really came to act as a puppet in front of the emperor. He winked at her wildly, and she realized what she should say. But what should she say?
What? She is not familiar with the emperor.
After much deliberation, there is only one common topic.
Chen promised: "Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
The emperor pinched his eyebrows, feeling extremely unhappy.
"After Your Majesty Jinchen left, Gu Guiren kept talking to the palace maid about your affairs."
"Huh?" The tone rose slightly.
His face, which was originally clouded with dark clouds, suddenly became gleaming with light.
"I also found my concubine and discussed together how to please the emperor next time and rebuild the old relationship with him."
The emperor didn't answer, but as she spoke one sentence at a time, the dark clouds on his face disappeared: "I thought she was bold and came to me for admonitions for other concubines, but she was so frightened that she became like this afterwards.
!”
If I say it with regret, my heart is really happy.
In fact, what happened in the morning was exactly the opposite of what Chen promised to understand.
It was only the maid of Yizhuxuan who got angry.
Jiang Xian herself was very calm, and it was just her favorite snacks for breakfast. She was born with talents that can be used, and her unconstrained emotional intelligence also won the emperor's heart, leaving Liang Yuyin dumbfounded.
Darling, it turns out that all you need to do to coax the emperor is to take care of your noble person!
Chen promised to look at the emperor's face and felt that Sister Jiang was really easy to use.
It was like a gold medal to protect her life.
At this moment, there was a message from the eunuch outside, saying that someone from Yizhuxuan had come and that Mr. Gu had something to offer to the emperor.
"Dedicate it to me?"
The emperor glared at Liang Yuyin: "Bring it in quickly!"
Liang Yuyin hurriedly responded and went out, slandering: Gu Guiren is really good at it. He made the emperor unhappy yesterday. Today, he is not in a hurry to appease the emperor. Instead, he took the concubine to close the small Buddhist hall without saying anything, and even left a hand to offer gifts. This is really... ugh
! Let’s look at what kind of gift was presented, and look at the emperor’s eagerness to get angry. Even the most ordinary things sent should be treated as treasures and placed on the table every day to admire and think about.
With such speculation, Liang Yuyin came outside and saw the eunuch of Yizhuxuan carrying a box as high as one person, sweating profusely: "Mr. Liang, be careful, the little master has given instructions, saying that the things inside cannot withstand the beating.
"
"Even expensive things have to be inspected before they can be sent in. How can it be trivial to use an item for a saint?"
Liang Yuyin rolled his eyes at him and opened the box.
The things inside were very strange, but he had seen them before. It was a self-ringing bell brought from the West. It was taken away by Gu Guiren, so why was it sent back to the imperial court? Is it because he wanted to cut it off with the emperor and return the reward? It's not like that
Bar!
Zhenqiu, who was accompanying the gift giver, stuffed a heavy purse into Liang Yuyin's hand, and then gave him a loose-leaf book: "Mr. Liang, the young master has ordered that if the emperor can see this object, he will give it to Liang Yuyin every day when the cock crows.
Take down the twelve pieces of paper and place them in the mechanism... I can give you a demonstration on how to operate it in detail. It's really a bit troublesome, so we have to see if the emperor wants to keep it."
Is there any clever kid who can guess how the mechanism is used?
