"Fenwu not only has this inner beauty, but also focuses on cultivating his abilities." [Li Sao]
Mu Shun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him, thinking that he would call the old people back next time. Although the women were a bit mediocre in appearance, fortunately the emperor did not want to be so resistant today. He stood up and did not leave in a hurry.
, and tried to do something to please him: "If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, why not let your servants serve Your Majesty?"
The emperor was already ready to take action. After hearing this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Are you deaf?"
Mu Shun really didn't dare to speak now, and took a few steps back to the door. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard the voice of the visitor, Li Jian, coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen is outside the pavilion asking for an audience."
The rightful owner has arrived.
The emperor's squinted eyes slightly opened, and he immediately loosened his hand and said to Li Jian: "Go to Xuanyin quickly."
With that said, the emperor stood up from the water, wiped his body briefly, put on a single coat and walked out.
At this time, Empress Dong was dressed in a rich dress and came towards the emperor. She saw that the emperor had simply put on his clothes and was sitting on the banquet, with his hair still dripping wet. Her slender eyebrows raised in surprise, and she
Without revealing anything, he bowed his sleeves generously and said with a smile: "I have come to see you rashly, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"This is nothing rash, get up." The emperor was wiping his hanging hair with one hand, tilting his head and smiling at Empress Dong, saying: "It's rare for the empress to come to the front hall, but what's the important matter?"
According to the system, concubines in Yeting were not allowed to enter or leave the front hall where the emperor and ministers discussed politics without permission. When Song Dynasty went to the promulgation room to see the emperor privately, it was entirely based on favor and trust, which was not enough to be used as an example. The only exception was that they were one with the emperor.
'The Queen.
As the mistress of the world, the power that the queen of the Han Dynasty had in the palace and the political power derived from it were far superior to those of other dynasties in later generations. Of course, the use of this power required strong enough relatives and soft-tempered emperors.
It is only through supporting each other that they can inherit each other. For example, in the same dynasty of Emperor Xiaoling, Empress Song died because of the villain's slander, and Empress He was able to poison the nobles.
As for the current imperial court, under the strong rule of the emperor, even Empress Dong did not dare to enter and leave the front hall at will. Even if she came this time, she would only stop at the back cabinet for dressing, not the Xuanshou Hall, which has great symbolic significance.
.
Empress Dong deliberately approached the emperor, took the soft silk cloth from the emperor's hand very naturally, and wiped the emperor's hair. She did not say anything, but just smelled it lightly. The smell of the emperor's body was clean and refreshing.
There was no residual smell of used bath beans. Empress Dong took another look at the thin single clothes the emperor wore on his upper body. The muscles under the clothes were faintly visible, as well as the water droplets on them.
She knew what she was thinking, so she deliberately didn't answer. Fanfan smiled and said, "Did I disturb your Majesty, my concubine?"
"No, you came just in time." The emperor supported his chin with his right hand. He had just finished bathing and was half-dressed. He was sitting casually on the couch to cool off and cool off. He talked to the other person and said, "I was just talking.
I plan to go to the pepper room to look for you later."
"Your Majesty is joking." Empress Dong lightly opened her red lips and joked: "If I don't come, your Majesty may have to stay in Qingliang Hall or Xuanshi Hall again."
"Where are these words?" The emperor squinted his eyes, and the other party was gently rubbing his head through the cloth. The emperor enjoyed the right massage: "I have been busy these days, and I have to arrange military affairs for the southern expedition.
And I am preparing for a drought in the land, so how can I have the heart to look for you?"
Not only in the past few days, but also in the past six months, the emperor has been hiding from everyone in the harem intentionally or unintentionally. Even the most favored Song Dynasty has not been able to stay overnight with the emperor on several occasions. Every time, he talks about the government affairs of the previous dynasty.
Busy, but was that really the case in the previous dynasty? Not to mention Empress Dong, even the two nobles Song and Fu learned through the families behind them that the previous dynasty was not really busy at times.
But they couldn't expose this simple lie. Otherwise, wouldn't it prove that they not only had channels to communicate with foreign dynasties, but also could spy on the emperor's every move in the previous dynasty? So they had to pretend to be confused, but now, it is Empress Dong who takes the lead.
I couldn't bear it anymore.
She still stretched out her hands to rub the emperor's head. Even though the emperor's hair was completely dry at this time, Empress Dong still rubbed it unhurriedly. As if inadvertently, her wide cyan sleeves gently slipped from her arms.
From below, two snow-white arms were exposed, like slender lotus joints that had been peeled off. A golden step swayed gently in Empress Dong's hair, and occasionally fell on her temples, light and agile.
She was so graceful and charming, but the young man in front of him half-closed his eyes and saw nothing.
Empress Dong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still managed a smile and said: "I also know that Your Majesty is diligent in his work, so I never dare to bother him. But I thought that even the farmers who work the hardest in the fields have time to rest and enjoy the cool air at the end of the day.
, Your Majesty is the lord of the world, so you should have work and rest."
"Are you inviting me to your place?" the emperor said a little funny: "In the past, I sent the chief minister to look for me, but I always failed to come. Will I come to invite you in person now?"
Empress Dong heard the ease and comfort in the emperor's words, and struck while the iron was hot: "My concubine never said that, but your majesty just said that he planned to go to the pepper room for a while."
The emperor chuckled lightly, and suddenly reached out to catch one of Empress Dong's beautiful wrists, held it in his hand and rubbed it gently. He sat sideways and turned his head to look at Empress Dong, just in time to see this unfinished beauty.
At this moment, Empress Dong wore light makeup and powder. Compared with her previous charm and beauty, she looked even more naturally beautiful as a girl. The emperor took a slight sniff and asked curiously: "What kind of fragrance is hidden on your body? It smells strong and elegant."
"It's just an ordinary Peilan." Empress Dong took out a small, crudely made sachet from her sleeve and handed it to the emperor with some embarrassment. She stretched out her hand halfway and then took it back: "The Peilan sewn by the palace servants are all
In previous years, the hay was fragrant, but not fresh enough. So I ordered someone to pick it back a few days ago. It happened that Fu Guiren taught me how to use needle and thread, so I simply tried to sew it myself. The sachet did not look very good, which made Your Majesty laugh.
."
"Now that you've taken it out, why are you hiding it?" The emperor took the sachet from Empress Dong's concealed hand, looked at it casually, and commented: "It really doesn't look good. Fu Shou's skills are so good.
If I get this sachet of yours, I will have no shame in saying that she taught you."
Can't even compare to Fushou?
These direct words made Empress Dong's face stiffen. Fortunately, she reacted in time, quickly adjusted her expression, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't tease me anymore. I just don't dare to show my shame in a generous family, so
So I hid it in my sleeve. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I wouldn't be willing to take it out."
The emperor looked at a hole on the sachet that was not sewn up or was left open intentionally. There were many orchids with green leaves and purple stems in the hole. The rich and fresh fragrance came from this hole. He
Weighing the sachet in the palm of his hand, he made some calculations in his mind, and said smoothly: "'Hu Jiangli and Pizhixi, Ren Qiulan thinks they admire'. This thing has always been used to show the nobility of a gentleman, Xia Yue wears it.
If you wear it now to ward off filth, it will not be regarded as being out of vulgarity."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Empress Dong replied happily, forgetting the unpleasant moment just now.
A nostalgic girl has always been like this. Every frown and smile is always for the person in front of her. Even though there are complicated interests involved, it is inevitable that she has this simple and simple side.
"Wait for me to change clothes." The emperor put the sachet back into Empress Dong's hand, stood up and prepared to go to another place: "I will go to the pepper room in a while."
