Chapter 259: Arrived as scheduled
The day of the cultivation ceremony is getting closer and closer, and there has been no movement on Yinzhen's side, although I am anxious, but no matter how anxious I am, I can only wait patiently, and this wait will be until the seventh day of the first month of March.
Because of the fact that he had to drive to the eastern suburbs on the morning of the ninth day of March, he usually did not turn over the concubine brand on the eighth day of the third month. The seventh day of March was the most crucial day for me. At the end of the day, I asked Xu Fuduo to pay attention to the news from the Heart Cultivation Palace. But there was no movement until after dinner, which made me feel very bad, but many times if I want to do something, I can only do it in the people, and there is no other way but to wait.
In this way, when the lights were on, I began to prepare to give up letting that aunt enter the palace through Yinzhen, thinking about the things I asked Su Peisheng to help arrange before, and if I couldn't do it, I would let that aunt attract Yinzhen's attention first, and then find an opportunity to talk to him. It's just that in this way, the time will drag on for a long time, and the variables will be very large, and the most important thing is that if the black hand really cleans the palace, she may interpret the change in Yinzhen's attitude towards me from this incident, and she will see that I have signs of losing power, which is very unfavorable to me, and will make me very passive in the future.
"It seems that this pet really has to fight" I secretly thought in my heart, only to feel full of helplessness. Life must be full of joy, and life must be indifferent. Life must go on after all, and you can only see tricks.
Adjust your mindset and let Jinxiu bring slightly warmer water and herbs to soak your feet, which is a way I like to relieve stress and relax. The heat from the feet makes people feel calm.
"Master, master, there is news that the emperor has come out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he is coming to us. Xu Fuduo suddenly hurried in, his words full of excitement and joy.
"Oh?" I was overjoyed, and then calmed down again, and said, "Leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace is not necessarily coming to our side, and it may not be going to the queen or others, and even if it is really coming to our side, we can't do anything else except wait." Otherwise, let the emperor know that we sent someone to keep an eye on his actions, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Xu Fuduo couldn't help but suppress his emotions because of my last sentence, and asked, "Then what should you do now?"
"Just don't know, it's business as usual. However, the small kitchen can be prepared in advance, according to the emperor's past habits, at this time, it is necessary to use some food, just prepare, and I will cook it myself when the time comes. If the emperor asked, he only said that the small kitchen was waiting like this every night, and it would not be cleaned up until I rested. I gave a brief command, still soaking my feet unhurriedly.
In fact, from the moment I heard Xu Fuduo say that Yinzhen came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, my heart was completely settled. Yinzhen is a person who attaches great importance to the rules, if it weren't for the fifteenth day of the first month to rest on the queen's side, the usual summoning of concubines must be in accordance with the rules to carry people to the heart palace to serve. Only I have never been to the Palace of Cultivating Hearts, because he knows that I would rather be with a lonely lamp than go to the bed where I have slept with many women, this has been a tacit understanding between the two of us for many years, so either he does not see me, or he comes to my house in person, this is the indulgence and respect he can give me, for which I am grateful.
Yinzhen is sedentary and folds on weekdays, and rarely has time to exercise. Jingren Palace is next to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the distance of these few steps, this must be on foot.
I soaked my feet in a hurry, and I didn't deliberately dress up, so that Jinxiu lit a soothing incense in the house as usual, and leaned on the couch to read a book with my robe leaned. The book is "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which records many methods of recuperation. Although the ancient version of the book is not as easy to understand as the vernacular version that I saw back then, those who have studied Chinese medicine in college must learn to read the documents left by these ancestors.
The door opened, Yinzhen walked closer, Su Peisheng followed him, and behind Su Peisheng was Xu Fuduo, who bowed down to follow. I got up in surprise and saluted, and after the salute was waived, I welcomed him into the couch and sat down, and when the splendid tea was served, Su Peisheng led the group to retreat, and then I asked: "Are you idle today?"
Yin Zhen used tea, and when he put down the teacup, he said: "The food over there in the Heart Cultivation Hall has been good these days, but it's a pity that there is still a little less taste compared to what you did." The day after tomorrow is the day of ploughing, and it is rare to take a moment of leisure today. ”
"There are many state affairs, how can they be accomplished overnight? The kitchenette is still waiting, and since you want to eat what I made myself, I'll make some simple, and you can wait a moment here. I persuaded a few words, got up and beckoned Su Peisheng to come into the house to serve, and went to the small kitchen by myself.
The stoves in the small kitchen are all cooked before, and the ingredients are ready-made.
Now is the time to eat pea tips, pea tips in this era also known as dragon mustard, rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus and other nutrients, but also contains a large number of anti-acidic substances, has a good anti-aging function, can play an effective detoxification role, after the high heat quickly fry a little vinegar to start the pot. In addition, there is also wolfberry red date black chicken soup on the stove, which is a good product to replenish fatigue and nourish the body, which can improve physiological function, delay aging, strengthen muscles and bones, and also have obvious effects on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, a stir-fried bean sprouts that strengthen the spleen and nourish the liver and a sour radish that I have nothing to do are appetizing, and I warmed the pot of osmanthus wine. It didn't take much time, and it was all over for a simple supper.
When the others entered the house and made a good meal, I filled a bowl of black chicken soup for Yinzhen, and poured osmanthus wine into the wine cup, and said: "Today's dishes are light, they are all excellent for the body, you first use some soup to nourish your stomach, and then drink this wine." ”
Yin Zhen drank the soup as he said, tasted the dishes again, then put down the chopsticks, looked at the wine cup and said: "I still remember when you first entered the diving mansion, we met for the first time, and it was you who personally arranged such a table of wine and food, and also persuaded me to eat some porridge first and then drink." How many years have passed, and things are not people. ”
The last four words of Yinzhen made my heart feel as if it had been pinched by something, and it hurt faintly.
"Helplessly born in the emperor's family" I lowered my eyes and spit out this sentence lightly, without saying more. I knew what he was trying to say, but what could I do. What I want is actually just a stable and peaceful life, but he was helplessly born in the emperor's family, and I had no choice but to become the emperor's concubine.
