Chapter 56: Li Chaochen first entered the harem
The imperial capital, the day at the end of May. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sun has fallen, and the land of Hanlin is so quiet that it seems that it has long been forgotten.
Li Chaochen, who was standing at the front door of the pavilion, listened to the words of his subordinates, frowned slightly, nodded, and immediately dressed neatly, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Walking to the eaves of the front yard, I saw three eunuchs in purple palace clothes standing in front of the gate in turn, and the leading eunuch had a towering palace hat, a proud expression, and did not squint, it was Su Fang, the closest eunuch to the emperor.
Seeing Li Chaochen appear, Su Fang, who was still holding her head high, immediately lowered her head slightly, a smile appeared on her face, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "Holy Lord's command, Master Li listens to the order." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaochen hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Su Fang, and responded in a loud voice: "Minister Li Chaochen has the order." ”
Su Fang's face was full of smiles, and he sang loudly with a shrill voice: "Lord, Master Li will enter the palace immediately to accompany him." ”
Li Chaochen was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he raised his head and asked in surprise: "Enter the palace to read with you, immediately?"
"Yes. Su Fang smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"But," Li Chaochen hesitated, "The minister is wearing this clothes now, and it has been this hour, how can the emperor ......?"
"Master Li, please get up," Su Fang squinted and interrupted Li Chaochen's words, "If you don't worry about the clothes, the servants have already prepared them for adults." As for the hour, that's not a big deal. You must know that our current emperor likes to study at night. When the emperor reads, he should have a companion to read. And the adult, as a Ji Jishi, is also in charge of the post of audit book, of course, he is the emperor's best companion. ”
Li Chaochen was stunned again and didn't have time to answer.
Su Fangruo smiled meaningfully: "Doesn't Master Li still understand?"
Li Chaochen looked at Su Fang's smiling face, and immediately comprehended it for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and nodded: "What Father-in-law Su said is that Chaochen was confused for a while, and he made a fork, but now he understands." Then come down, please ask Grandpa Su to lead the way, and I will immediately change my clothes and enter the palace. ”
Su Fang also nodded, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Master Li is a person appointed by the emperor, please don't be polite to the old slave, I think the old slave will have to rely on the good fortune of the adult in the future." ”
Li Chaochen smiled: "Duke Su is serious. As he spoke, he returned the salute with his fists.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and as soon as I said hello, two little eunuchs with lanterns walked into the courtyard, bowing their heads and leading the way. Li Chaochen instructed the subordinates of the Hanlin Academy, and he looked at his horses, and without looking back, he followed Su Fang and the others out of the Hanlin Academy, and got into the carriage sent by the palace to pick him up.
The carriage was rounding, and I couldn't touch a few passers-by along the way.
Wei Hua once said that the emperor is a lonely and arrogant child. Li Chaochen also agreed with Wei Hua's statement in several contacts with the emperor. And in addition to arrogance, there are also uncertainties and moodiness. And this is the deadliest of all.
Since ancient times, there has been a way, and it is the law of the world to accompany the king like a tiger. Even if the current gentleman does not have much real power, he still has the right to kill his Li Chaochen's small life.
From the previous few contacts, Li Chaochen consciously did not like or like this indifferent and moody emperor. Even if he knew that Han San Gongzi had already identified the sovereign, even if he knew, he couldn't and couldn't escape this fate.
With a long sigh, Li Chaochen shook his head resignedly.
"Mr. Li seems to be very unhappy. Su Fang turned his head sideways and studied Li Chaochen carefully.
"What's the matter," Li Chaochen hurriedly denied, "It's just that I really don't know the bottom of my heart, and I'm just a little worried." ”
"Bachelor Li doesn't have to be afraid," Su Fang comforted, "The emperor is just missing a companion for studying, as long as Bachelor Li is accompanied by a good student, nothing will happen." ”
Li Chaochen smiled and said cautiously: "Chaochen has a word in his heart, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
"You're welcome, Mr. Li, but please come on. Su Fang said with a smile.
"What kind of person does Grandpa Su think, what kind of person is the emperor?"
Su Fang was stunned for a moment, looked forward, and said, "It's not a small one, Bachelor Li's words really shouldn't be." The little one is a minion, and the emperor is the master of the small. The little one only knows the truth of serving his master well, and he doesn't know anything else. So I can't answer Mr. Li's words. ”
Hearing Su Fang's cautious words, Li Chaochen hurriedly said with a remorseful face: "Chaochen is reckless, please forgive my father-in-law." ”
Su Fang nodded, and after explaining some of the rules of the palace to Li Chaochen one by one, he didn't say anything more. Li Chaochen nodded yes again and again, and didn't ask any more.
There was nothing else to say all the way, and the luxurious palace car carried Li Chaochen and his party into the Red Wall Deep Palace.
It's not the first time to enter the palace, but it's the first time to enter the palace from the Shenwu Gate in the north.
The emperor first ascended to the throne, he was still very young, and the draft girl was only in preparation, and had not yet begun. Harem, just deserted.
After entering the harem, without any hindrance, Su Fangqian led Li Chaochen all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
Although it is late spring, this deep palace is still withering like the winter solstice.
Li Chaochen lowered his head, followed Su Fang's steps all the way without daring to look more, and entered the Qianqing Palace.
There were only two eunuchs and palace maids cleaning in the outer hall, and when they saw Su Fang walk in, they stopped what they were doing, bowed and withdrew.
"What about the emperor?" asked Su Fang.
"Back to Father-in-law Su, the emperor rested in the inner bedroom. A little eunuch replied.
Su Fang nodded, waved his hand and asked the eunuchs and palace maids on duty to retreat.
"Mr. Li, please. Su Fang turned around and saluted, letting Li Chaochen walk in front.
Li Chaochen looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who had withdrawn with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then said a few polite words, seeing Su Fang's insistence on his face, he no longer shirked and walked in front first. Under Su Fang's guidance, he bypassed the outer hall, passed the backyard, and came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom.
Signaling Li Chaochen to stop, through the screen, Su Fang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Master Li has already brought." ”
Su Fang's voice fell, and behind the screen, there was silence in the bedroom for a long time before a lazy voice responded: "Zifan stays, and the others have retreated." ”
"Doesn't the emperor want anyone to serve you?" asked Su Fangxun.
"No need, it's good to have Zifan here, you all step down. The inner voice answered lazily.
Su Fang replied when she heard this, "Yes." Li Chaochen was left alone, turned around and left.
With Su Fang's departure, there was silence in the bedroom for a while.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound, Li Chaochen couldn't bear it, so he had to call out loud: "Your Majesty." ”
Behind the screen, a faint voice came: "Zifan, you come in." ”
"Yes. Li Chaochen agreed, turned the screen lightly, and entered the emperor's bedroom.
Compared with the bedrooms that Li Chaochen has seen, the emperor's room is not very elegant, but it is the largest and most magnificent.
The large gold bricks are paved, the light shines brightly, ten steps in front of the dragon couch, and the dragon and phoenix soar on the red carpet. On the high wall on the left side of the dragon couch hangs a picture of spring plum phoenix singing weeping willows. On the right is a row of chefs with countless volumes. It's just that none of the kitchen cabinets have ever been opened.
When Li Chaochen walked in, he looked from a distance and saw that a person was lying inward on the dragon couch. Hearing the footsteps walking in, the person on the couch didn't get up, just turned around and squinted at Li Chaochen.
"Your Majesty. Li Chaochen frowned slightly and whispered.
The person sleeping on the dragon couch is needless to say that it is the current saint, Qin Siyang, who has just turned fourteen.
"Zifan, what are you panicking about, hehe. Seeing Li Chaochen's embarrassed face, Qin Siyang chuckled.
"The emperor is in a hurry to recruit his ministers to enter the palace at this moment, doesn't he want to learn to read poetry and books?" Li Chaochen bowed his head and said.
Qin Siyang smiled unabated: "Hehe, Zifan comes closer, take it easy." What is the practice of reading poetry books, I said that it is false to like reading at night, and it is also false to find someone to read with you. If you don't say that, how can I call you? Hehe, I came to you at this hour, in fact, it was just a whim, and I called it when I thought of it, and it was nothing. ”
Hearing this, Li Chaochen frowned and bowed his head, speechless.
Qin Siyang, who was on the couch, yawned, looked at Li Chaochen's embarrassment and smiled again, and said, "It's just a pleasure, Zifan doesn't have to mind." Hehe, I think if I can leave the palace at will, when I come, I am afraid that I will also take a small boat at night, and I can't return if I can't enter it, haha. ”
Li Chaochen's brows tightened again, raised his head and looked directly at Qin Siyang, and said: "The emperor's words are wrong, I want Your Majesty to be a dragon body, if you learn the habits of a hermit and act willfully, won't it be chaotic." ”
Qin Siyang blinked his eyebrows, propped up half of his body, and leaned on the head of the bed: "Hehe, and said Gangchang, Zifan, are you also a preacher?"
Li Chaochen bowed: "The minister is for the good of the emperor." ”
Qin Siyang laughed, held his head high, and looked directly at Li Chaochen with his eyes like swords: "You come forward." ”
"Your Majesty. Li Chaochen exclaimed.
"Come up. There was an irresistible majesty in Qin Siyang's words.
Li Chaochen didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and bowed forward and stepped forward.
"Come closer, lean over to the bed. Qin Siyang ordered in a deep voice.
Li Chaochen's forehead was slightly wet, but he didn't dare not lean up, and bowed down and half-knelt in front of the dragon couch.
"Look up. Qin Siyang ordered again.
Li Chaochen had to raise his head, a pair of phoenix eyes like ink and stars were half-open and half-closed.
Qin Siyang also had his eyes half-closed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his expression seemed to be admiring a beautiful painting.
Li Chaochen didn't dare to move, waited quietly, and suddenly felt a tightening of his jaw for a long time, and his emperor had stretched out his slender fingers, pinched his chin tightly, and raised his head slightly.
Li Chaochen's eyes widened, not daring to speak.
"It's really an unusual beauty," Qin Siyang chuckled, and said in a teasing tone, "Look at these red lips, they can be so ruddy without fat, and this face, these eyes, how did the ancients say it, the face is like a spring flower, and the eyes are like paint." Hee-hee, it's a city that looks at the people, and then a country that looks at the people. Look, isn't Aiqing such a beautiful woman. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Li Chaochen's voice trembled slightly, wanting to get rid of Qin Sishang's teasing, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move.
Qin Siyang's smile hung a touch of evil charm, and his flirtatious tone remained unchanged: "Why, what did Aiqing tell me about the way of the common way." It can be known that the king is a minister, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Now that I only need Aiqing to get closer, Aiqing is afraid that it will become like this, so how can I die for me?"
"Your Majesty," Li Chaochen's body began to tremble uncontrollably, but he still fought desperately, "The emperor also knows that the monarch regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart; The emperor is a dragon body, and he should not be despised by his body. ”
"Cheap, haha" Qin Siyang laughed suddenly, and after laughing, he bowed down, and his forehead almost touched Li Chaochen's handsome face, "Zifan knows or not, with your words, I can cure you for your capital crime." ”
Li Chaochen shuddered, was stunned for a moment, then simply closed his eyes, and replied in a cold voice: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”
Qin Siyang's eyes were like thorns, and he also smiled coldly: "Are you afraid that I won't dare?"
"No," Li Chaochen clenched his teeth, letting Qin Siyang hold his chin, his body still motionless, "Chen didn't think so." The minister also knew that the emperor's temperament was something that even Han Sangongzi could not understand. ”
"Hehe, is it," Qin Siyang sneered again and lowered his voice, "Speaking of Han Tianming, does he have anything you want to bring to me?"
Li Chaochen was stunned, half-opened his eyes, and replied: "Words, not for the time being." ”
"Why, it's been nearly half a month since you entered the Hanlin Academy, and no one in the Han Mansion has said a word?"
Li Chaochen was stunned again, listening to the emperor's words and asking seriously, not like the teasing tone just now, after thinking about it, it seemed to be a little clear, and the heart that had been carrying it was settled, and he replied slowly: "Brother Zipu has taken the initiative to come to see the ministers a few times, but what he said is that the ministers should take care of the emperor." ”
"That's all, nothing else?" Qin Siyang asked with a squint.
Li Chaochen's jaw had been lifted by Qin Siyang for some time, his neck was already a little sore, and he wanted to shake his head but couldn't move at all, so he could only answer honestly: "There is nothing else." ”
"Wei Zipu hasn't been in the palace for half a month. ”
Li Chaochen said suspiciously: "Can't the emperor recruit Brother Zipu on his own?"
Seeing that Li Chaochen was puzzled, Qin Siyang snorted, not bothering to reply to his words. He let go of the two fingers that were clenching Li Chaochen's jaw, and after a pause, he turned to ask, "You don't know martial arts?"
Li Chaochen rubbed his neck lightly, and didn't dare to ask, so he replied honestly: "The minister won't." ”
Qin Siyang snorted coldly again: "Look, it's better for your eldest brother." ”
Li Chaochen lowered his head slightly, only to hear the emperor continue: "Then remember to lock the door before you go to bed." ”
"Door, locked?" Li Chaochen said strangely.
Qin Siyang sneered: "What do you think I recruited you into the palace for at this hour?"
"This ......"
Qin Siyang then snorted coldly: "I'm not in the mood to share a bed with you yet." You'll sleep on the floor tonight, but remember, don't die, and as soon as you hear someone moving outside, pack up and go to bed. ”
"This ......"
"You need to wake up, even if the door of my bedroom is locked, they will open it in a thousand ways. You have to move fast, don't let people see the trap. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"Still don't understand?"
“…… Yes, I see. (To be continued.) )
