95 Chapter 94
It was a bit hot in the Nuan Pavilion. I thought I could go back after I had been greeted, but I didn't expect the queen to ask for a meal. I felt like I was sweating all over my forehead. I was in a dilemma when I took off my hat because I was afraid of being disrespectful.
The queen glanced at her and said with a smile, "No outsiders, pick Kunqiu!"
Lan Cao came up to serve her, used a grate to smooth her head, and stepped back again. Feeling relieved, she took a deep breath, smiled shyly and said, "I'm so embarrassed, I'm going out at night."
It’s convenient and I didn’t dress up properly.”
She had dark hair and looked very beautiful under the lamp. The queen smoothed the ends of her braids and said magnanimously, "Dai Kunqiu is not rude, but I messed up the rules by leaving food. It's okay. We are different from others, dear."
As for you, don't be shy when getting along. I'm four years older than you, and we share the same husband, so we're actually like sisters." Seeing Su Yinuonuo agreed, she took the blue and white porcelain bell cup from the palace maid's hand and handed it to her.
, he also took a bowl, uncovered the steamed cheese with sugar, and slowly scooped it up with a cloisonné enamel spoon. He then said, "I'm going home today. How is Ama Eni at home?"
Su Yi bowed slightly and said, "Everything is fine. Thank you, Master, for asking me."
The queen said, "I heard that Enyou followed suit. He is so stubborn. Nothing happened to him afterwards, right?"
What happened really happened, he hugged the emperor and cried and complained that he didn't dare to tell the queen about the incident for fear of scaring her, so he said, "It's nothing, everything is fine. I drank wine and got high, and then I rested at our house."
The queen knew that her father-in-law was dissatisfied, so she drank to drown her sorrows. She was also distressed, but what should she do, her arms couldn't twist her thighs. Their natal family was not strong in the first place, and if they went against the emperor, they would obviously suffer big losses. Although Enyou
She is confused, she still knows this. She also advised him that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and there are many women in the world, so don't let one person who has always hurt Uncle Lang's kindness. Besides, it will be good for her to let the emperor and Su Yi do good things.
Benefits. After all, there is no love between the emperor and her. No matter how low her status is, she cannot withstand the emperor's favor. So being nice to her and bringing her on the same front is to keep the emperor. Is it just a secret noble concubine? What's the point?
fear?
"I'm just afraid that he'll cause trouble. He can't let go of you..." The Queen paused for a moment and then quickly changed the subject. She raised the cup in her hand and said, "This cheese is made very well. I've replaced it with a Mongolian one."
Chef, do you know Shen Taiyi's "Donghua Suolu"? It praises milk very much. If you want to make milk, the Mongolians can make it with the original flavor."
"Shen Taitou is a big eater." Su Yi laughed, "He wrote about cheese, milk tea, milk rolls, and milk cakes, which made people salivate."
"No." The queen agreed, "My life in the palace is boring, and I don't have any children to entertain me. In the past, when Lafayette was here, I had some things to do in the morning and dusk. Now that I have free time, I have to study these foods to pass the time. That cook is very good at cooking.
Anyway, I will let him take care of the food here, and I will ask him to make two portions in the future, and you will also reward him. Everyone will be happy if we have a good meal together."
Su Yi was embarrassed, "The master cares for the slave, but the slave has nothing to repay."
"What do I want you to repay? There is a huge gap between people in the palace. It is extremely cold for me to sit in this position. It is difficult to find a caring person. I am not in good health and cannot have children. This is also my obstacle.
There is no absolute perfection in the world." She patted her hand and said, "Now it's all about you. If you can conceive the dragon species earlier, we can educate him together and let him grow up safely.
It makes up for my lack of heirs."
His heart skipped a beat. The emperor's family had long-term considerations. On the one hand, they were afraid that their children and grandchildren would grow up to be older than women. On the other hand, they were afraid that the mother would bring trouble to the court because of her son's wealth. If the prince could be left to be fed by his biological mother, the whole palace would be except for the queen.
No one can enjoy this honor. That is to say, one day when she is pregnant with a baby, will she have to give it to someone else? She didn't think so long-term before. Today, after listening to the Queen, she realized that the future is so worrying. Her heart instantly rolled.
As if fried in oil, the Queen placed Nanny Liu beside her for no other reason than to keep an eye on her belly and wait for the news that she was pregnant.
Sure enough, she couldn't trust anyone, she remembered it secretly, but smiled like a flower on her face, "It will be a blessing for me if that day comes. But many people will starve to death while waiting for the rice to be cooked. If the master really wants it,
"Child, if any of the princes has a newborn princess, it would be wise to take him over and raise him first."
The queen turned around her armor before speaking. When she turned around, she saw someone coming in from the main hall door. She quickly stood up and shouted "Long live the Lord".
The emperor asked someone to help him take off his crane cloak, and the velvet crown on his head was stained with snow beads. He took it off and shook it, causing water drops all over the floor. After changing into soft shoes and entering the hanging flower door, he saw them squatting and holding each other in their hands.
After a while, he asked the queen with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, let's talk about some common things." The queen asked someone to put her breasts on her breast, and then she looked outside and sighed, "It's raining again, and it hasn't stopped since winter." She turned around and blamed Qingyin again, "
How did you get the job? The people in the palace are becoming more and more lackluster. Why doesn't the emperor communicate with you when he comes?"
The emperor sat cross-legged on the Kang, covering the sweet white porcelain bowl with both hands and said, "Don't blame them. I didn't ask them to communicate. I just want to hear what you have to say."
The queen asked him, "Why, the emperor still listens to others? Are you afraid that we will go behind your back and set you up?"
The emperor smiled mockingly, "Isn't it? I have become too narrow-minded recently." He turned to look at Su Yi. She was standing by the side. Under the heavy shadow of the lamp was her beautiful profile. She was probably a little hot.
The temples were slightly damp with sweat, making them look even more transparent and cute. His eyes were full of doting, and he asked her in a warm voice, "Are you settled? Are you getting used to living here?"
Su Yi crouched down and said yes, raised his face and said with a smile, "I'm a servant who can live in the palace very well. Being able to move to the Qingshou Hall is like a mouse in a rice vat. It's not too late to be happy!"
The queen covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Good girl, you can live a happy life if you don't have a high spirit. You have just been promoted to the throne, and the nobles' monthly routines are fixed. There are so many people staring at you, and you are afraid of gossiping.
On the surface, things are the same for everyone. The master has other rewards and gifts, so others have nothing to do with them. From now on, if there is any shortage of expenses, just send Renhe Qingyin away, but don't wrong yourself." He comforted himself with good words, and then continued.
Asked the emperor, "Have you had your meal?"
The emperor hummed, "After having some wine and food, I came out to relax, and I ended up at your place before I knew it."
It was unknowing. She clearly knew that Su Ying was here and came here. The queen knew it, and naturally she would not expose him on her face. She only said, "I kept Su Ying to eat in my palace. If you don't mind it,
, I'll ask someone to warm a pot of wine, and you can use some more."
The emperor thought for a while, if he didn't use it, they would probably have to do it hastily. He couldn't let him just watch, they should eat and drink there! It was cold, drinking wine could warm up. He didn't stay at the queen's place for a long time.
, it wasn’t too much to have a meal together, so he nodded and agreed.
Both of them were masters, and they were known to be the most servile. They knew very well that they had no place to sit in front of them. They waited for the empress to sit down, and spontaneously stepped aside to hold the pot while standing. The empress saw it and said hurriedly, "You are
Guest, I asked you to stand? Come and sit down, they will take care of the odd jobs."
It felt like a girl having sex with someone, the kind of treatment she received from a slave to a half-master. She was usually sarcastic, but when she saw the smile on the corner of the emperor's lips, she was really embarrassed.
"Sit down, you are usually careless, but now you are worried." The emperor removed the spoon for her, picked up the wine cup and clinked glasses with them, and then said slowly to the queen, "I will go to Jiangnan incognito in two days.
During the inspection, Hong Rui was specially appointed to be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hong Zan from the third uncle's family was in charge of the Military Aircraft Department. If there were any troublesome matters, they would be sent in for discussion. With you in charge in the palace, I can feel at ease outside... What do I want from you?
You know, you have always been promoted to the throne because of your talents, but there are many people in the palace who use their tricks to get you into trouble, so you should be more careful."
The queen gave him the dishes and responded, "It is proper for you to take good care of yourself outside. With me in the palace, can I let someone harm her? I have heard about it, but I have never looked for a chance to talk to you. I am here with my aunt.
My niece works in the area behind Ningshou Palace. When chatting, she misses Yang'er and complains that the low-ranking master is being bullied.
Thinking about it, it’s time to take care of things. After all, they are all people who have served you. I can safely leave the palace affairs to the imperial concubine. I never wanted to cause such a mess. It’s okay if I don’t know. I can’t sit back and watch if I know.
Reason. Those unscrupulous slaves who deceive the master must develop a new batch. Let’s see who dares to severely deduct the supply.”
The emperor didn't care about that. He ate the vegetables slowly. The plate of shredded chicken was just right for his appetite, and he used several chopsticks to pick it up. He responded casually, "Just watch and deal with it. Just don't tire yourself. What's the message?"
, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate and deal with it, there is no need to do everything personally."
The queen pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I remember. Actually, I want to work with you. I am a very transparent person. If I am too busy, I plan to ask her to help me. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"
The emperor knew in his heart that the queen wanted to promote her intentionally. She was a silly elder sister. Without errands, she would probably just eat and sleep. It was beneficial to call her an associate. She would have to deal with big things in her life.
It can be more nourishing. But the power of the harem is a double-edged sword. While it brings benefits to oneself, it also makes people grind their teeth and hate them. He thought about it again and again, but still felt that it was inappropriate. As her mother's family has no backing, her brother-in-law's
She had to take her time to rise in official rank. Nothing could be accomplished overnight, so it was not yet time for her to get involved in palace affairs.
"Let's let it go in advance." He sipped his wine and said, "She has a low status and no one will obey her. For the time being, I can only spare you the trouble and wait until I have the opportunity later." He stopped talking, but saw Su
He drank more than half of the Huiquan wine in one gulp. He was a little surprised, "How do you drink like this?"
I was always having a good time drinking, but I felt embarrassed when he asked me. I put down my glass and said, "This wine is sweet."
Queen Gourd smiled and said, "It's sweet. If you add pickled plums, it will be easy to taste, but it will have a strong aftertaste." After saying this, he looked at her carefully and said, "Oh, it looks like it's on my face."
Zheng Yi covered her cheeks, as if she was feeling hot. She timidly said to the queen, "I haven't even had a few sips... I'm greedy and out of character."
"What's the matter? I was drunk once when this wine was first presented as tribute. It was hung in the well in the summer and was clean and refreshing. I drank it accidentally and it took me a long sleep to recover." The queen was generous.
He waved his hands and said, "It's not going to be good if you get it. I think you should accompany the master to go back and rest early!" He ordered Qingyin to call the palace maid, "It's getting dark. Prepare two more ram's horn lamps for the master to shine."
"Is this the order to expel guests?" The emperor stood up and smiled, secretly grateful to the queen for her intention. At this time, he had gone to the Qingshou Hall out of sight, and the key to the palace door was locked. You must know that it was also the eunuch who was close to him who knew about it.
Rongshou was smart and sent people to clear the way in advance. When the two of them went out, they looked through the light and saw that there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, which made a rustling sound under the soles of their shoes. Terasu got on the chariot, and she didn't want to live or die.
, teasing him back and forth in a polite manner. He was probably really drunk, his tongue was obviously tied, and he was very happy to hear it.
It's better to be drunk. Can you indulge as much as you want? He didn't care about that much anymore, so he bent down and picked her up. There was no noble person in the Kowloon chariot, not even the queen could sit on it easily. She was still fluttering, being moved by him
He suppressed it with all his strength, "It was already dark and no one could see me."
Her mind was always buzzing, thinking about it, why is it so dark, it was quite bright just now... She muttered, "Lancao, where is my hat?"
Lan Cao heard her master shouting and jumped up in two steps, "Tell me, master, I'm wearing it on your head!"
She raised her hand and touched it, and said in a long voice, "This Kunqiu is a sable circle. If it were left anywhere else, it would really hurt my body to death."
"Such a promise!" The emperor pinched her nose, "Don't worry, I'll send you a reward tomorrow. It's like moving house, I'll give you all the things I like, is it possible?"
The wind whipped up the snow foam and hit her face. She brushed her hair twice and said, "Don't forget to give me a few more candles. It's dark where I am. If the weather is bad, I have to light a lamp."
The emperor felt dissatisfied, and then he remembered that the gatehouse of the study room was added in front of Qingshou Hall, blocking the light from the second entrance. It was because of his lack of consideration that he thought about it for a while and said, "Then change the place, or move to Suichu
Going to the church?"
"I like the fourth entrance. You can walk from the second entrance to the back room." She leaned against him and shook her head. Kun Qiu's hat circle swept back and forth on the tip of his nose. He covered his mouth and sneezed, which scared her.
With a jump, "Hey, are you catching a cold?"
When the carriage reached the door, he led her down. Without any words in his mouth, he pushed and pushed her into the back bedroom.
He came to inspect with a critical eye. He looked around and saw the black lacquer mother-of-pearl bed, the red lacquer sunflower pattern screen, and the copper-embroidered gourd bottles hanging on the wall. The decoration was very exquisite. Then he looked at the curtains and tents everywhere.
The fabric was thick, and the flowers and plants were still visible. He stood on the footboard and raised his hands to fiddle with it. There were apricot-yellow tassels hanging on the bedside rails. When he pulled the curtain, it fell down, blocking half of the canopy bed.
