063: Unpredictable
readx; Chrysanthemums have always been deeply loved by people, and plum, orchid, bamboo are the four gentlemen in the flowers, when Rong Yan was still the prince, he loved it the most, every time the chrysanthemum bloomed season, he would try to get a variety of rare chrysanthemums for viewing, and even wrote poems and lyrics for it, and so many kinds of chrysanthemums, he loved white chrysanthemum the most. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, although Empress Yuan ordered someone to collect all the chrysanthemum varieties that could be found, in the entire chrysanthemum garden, white chrysanthemum was the most.
It can be seen that she really takes Rong Yan's hobby to heart.
Rong Yan looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden, and did not say a word, but slowly walked into the path, looking at the colorful chrysanthemum species on both sides, his face was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Then he slowly walked to the elevated shelf not far away, on which were placed several pots of superb Yaotai jade phoenix, and the white mass was like a lotus flower.
Empress Yuan said with a smile, "This is the Yaotai jade phoenix that the concubine ordered people to cultivate with a lot of effort, it is the best chrysanthemum, if the emperor likes it, why don't the concubines send some to the Xuanwen Palace to put it, so that the emperor can watch it from time to time, how about it?"
It will take two months for the Yaotai Yufeng to bloom, but she specially asked the people below to go to great lengths to cultivate these pots to bloom at this time, because it is really not easy, so there are only a few pots, and she also deliberately let them place them in the most conspicuous position for viewing.
Hearing this, Rong Yan turned his head to look at her, was silent for a moment, and then smiled faintly, "The queen is bothered!"
This is a promise.
Empress Yuan's face was overjoyed, and then Ying Ying bowed, "The concubine will be sent later!"
Sure enough, the emperor's attitude towards her is really different, as if he doesn't reject her, thinking of this, Queen Yuan only feels that she is dreaming.
It seems to have returned to the past, the first emperor has not died, she often enters the palace to accompany her aunt, Rong Yan is still very gentle to her, every time she talks to her, she is always kind and pleasant, at that time, she thought that he was also happy with her.
After many years, now his transformation has also made her have such thoughts, is her long-awaited for many years about to come true?
Hearing this, Rong Yan was silent, then shook his head, and said lightly, "No need, send it to Concubine Xue's palace, her birthday banquet will be just right to enjoy chrysanthemums in a few days, and those over there will also be sent!"
The ones that Rong Yan refers to are that in addition to some common chrysanthemums, there are more than ten kinds of rare chrysanthemums that Queen Yuan ordered people to place on the other side, although they are not as precious as Yaotai Yufeng, but they are also difficult to find.
Empress Yuan's face froze.
Send it to Concubine Xue?
Isn't her hard work in vain?
Turning his head to look at the queen's face, Rong Yan's face was as usual, and he just asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
"How come?" Empress Yuan hurriedly regained a smile on her face and said, "The emperor just reminded the concubines, and the concubines will send these over for a few days of banquet to watch!"
Even if she is reluctant, it is impossible for Empress Yuan to admit that she is reluctant, this is her attitude as an empress.
Rong Yan's smile deepened, and he looked at Queen Yuan and said with a smile, "My queen is really virtuous!"
When Empress Yuan heard this, she just kept smiling, but she didn't understand what the emperor meant.
In the past, the emperor hated her, but now that the emperor's attitude has changed, she has never been able to see through the emperor's thoughts.
As soon as Rong Yan finished speaking, he turned his head away from her.
After thinking about it, she smiled, looked at Rong Yan and looked at Juyuan's test in contemplation, and suddenly plucked up her courage and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the palace people in the Hehuan Hall have been executed, no matter what the concubine has done wrong, she is still a concubine, this identity is there, and it is not appropriate for no one to serve you, why don't the concubines send some people in to serve?"
Who doesn't know that the emperor decreed that all the people serving in the Hehuan Palace, except for Qin Guifei's personal maid, all of them were killed, and no one was sent to serve later, and now the Hehuan Hall is afraid that it will be deserted, so since it is the queen, it is reasonable for her to mention this matter.
Hearing this, Rong Yan turned her head to look at Empress Yuan again, squinted her eyes, as if looking at her, Empress Yuan smiled lightly, not dodging or dodging.
Rong Yan didn't say anything.
There was no one to serve in the Hehuan Palace, and he knew that he didn't need to be reminded by Queen Yuan about this.
It's just that......
Looking at the direction of the Hehuan Palace, his eyes were slightly dull, and he was silent for a long time, he said lightly, "No, it's just empty!"
Empress Yuan heard this. Slightly surprised.
The emperor is like this, does he really not care?
As if he didn't care about the people and things he just talked about, Rong Yan suddenly looked at Empress Yuan and asked gently, "If I remember correctly, the queen's cooking skills are good?"
Empress Yuan bowed her head, "the concubine has learned some ......"
Rong Yan interrupted her and said, "In that case, I will go to the queen's palace to eat tonight, and I want to eat the queen's own handmade!"
Empress Yuan didn't react for a while, and looked at him blankly, thinking that she had misheard.
Rong Yan smiled faintly, looked at her with a dull and faint look of disbelief, and raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?
Empress Yuan was so shocked that she couldn't speak, "Minister...... Concubine ......"
Seeing her like this, Rong Yan smiled faintly, and then said, "I will go to see Concubine Xue first, and then I will go to the queen's palace to eat later, and the queen will prepare well!"
After speaking, without waiting for her to react, she took her father-in-law Shunde and a few palace eunuchs to the direction of Yongning Palace.
Empress Yuan was stunned there, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, she couldn't hide the joy on her face, she seemed to be laughing, and with a hint of joy and crying, she turned her head to look at Yuan Qing, and asked with some uncertainty, "Did you hallucinate in this palace......?"
Yuan Qing hurriedly said with a happy face, "Niangniang, it's not an auditory hallucination, the emperor really wants to dine with you, it's true!"
She couldn't have imagined that the emperor would change so much today, the queen has been in the palace for seven years, and the emperor has never set foot in the Fengluan Palace, let alone dine with the queen, but now, she made this promise, how can she not like it?
The queen mother can be regarded as bittersweet.
Empress Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and her eyes turned red with joy.
Yuan Qing hurriedly said, "Niangniang, since the emperor is going to Fengluan Hall for dinner, go back and prepare first, otherwise it will be too late later!"
It was almost the end of the day, and it would be dark in an hour.
Empress Yuan hurriedly bowed, "Okay, let's go back!"
Yuan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help her and planned to go back.
Empress Yuan paused, turned her head to look at the chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden, thought about it, looked at Pang Teng, the chief eunuch of the Fengluan Hall on the side, and said lightly, "Send all the chrysanthemums that the emperor pointed out to to Concubine Xue's palace!"
Pang Teng bowed his head and said respectfully, "The slave obeys the order!"
Yuan Qing was puzzled, "Niangniang, why are you ......?"
In fact, the emperor is just like that, looking at it is just talking, not necessarily serious, Niangniang can't take it seriously, how much effort has been spent on the cultivation of these words, giving it to Concubine Xue like this is simply a tyrannical thing!
Empress Yuan said lightly, "The emperor's words, the palace naturally has to be taken seriously!"
Maybe Rong Yan just said on a whim that he wanted to give chrysanthemums to Concubine Xue. However, she can't not be taken seriously, this is her attitude as a queen.
When Yuan Qing heard this, he understood.
Therefore, after two incense sticks, Rong Yan was still in the Yongning Palace, and he saw a group of eunuchs carrying pots and pots of chrysanthemums into the garden of the Yongning Palace.
Rong Yan looked at one after another eunuchs who had not stopped for a long time, and watched the chrysanthemums he was referring to come in one by one, but he was silent.
Concubine Xue walked over slowly, looked at the scene outside, and then looked at the emperor's face, and smiled, "The queen mother is so generous, the concubines don't know how to repay it!"
I guess it's reluctant to send the chrysanthemums that have been carefully cultivated for so long.
Rong Yan turned his head to look at her, smiled faintly, and said in an uncertain tone, "The queen is indeed generous!"
Concubine Xue, "Then why doesn't the emperor like the queen's mother?" The concubine heard that the queen's mother and the emperor's childhood sweetheart have been very good since childhood, but ......" stopped talking, and did not continue to speak, as if she was afraid of something.
Rong Yan looked at her, raised her eyebrows, and did not see anger, but said, "Jia'er, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
After getting this sentence, Concubine Xue said boldly, "Your Majesty, in fact, in the eyes of the concubines, the queen mother is infatuated with the emperor, and I really can't understand why the emperor doesn't like the queen mother, or even ...... disgusted!"
If it was before, she wouldn't dare to say these words, but now, I don't know why, she is not afraid.
During this period of time, she is good at observing words and feelings, and it is not difficult to see that the emperor is actually not a ruthless person, as long as she is not ill-intentioned, no matter what she says, the emperor will not be angry.
Sure enough, Rong Yan didn't get angry, but just smiled suddenly, and said with a little self-deprecation, "I can't understand myself, so how can I talk about you!"
He let everyone down, he just wanted to treat her well, as long as it was what she wanted, he tried to give it to her, for her, the dignity of the emperor was given up again and again, but he ended up like this, and almost died in her hands, now that he thinks about it, he can't understand it.
Today, he can't afford it anymore.
When Concubine Xue heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't say much.
The emperor is like this, all because of Qin Guifei.
She also couldn't understand Qin Guifei a little, the emperor was such a good person, and the emperor, he cherished her so much, why was she so ruthless?
Seeing it from afar at the palace banquet that day, she knew that her appearance was similar to her, and the fact that she could be named a concubine also stemmed from her, but she only knew that Qin Guifei favored the Sixth Palace, but she didn't know that there was such an insider, fortunately, she knew that she was a stand-in from the beginning, otherwise, how ridiculous would she be?
Seeing that the sun had already set, Rong Yan said lightly, "It's not early, I will go to the queen first, you have a good rest!"
Concubine Xue hurriedly bowed, "Yes!"
Watching Rong Yan leave, Concubine Xue's face was dark, and then the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and then she turned around and walked into the inner hall.
Lou Yueqing returned to Lanyue Building and began to make clothes, it took half a night to figure out how to start, but couldn't help but go to sleep, the next morning, Lou Yueqing got up early and started to work.
Comparing it with Rong Zhi's robe that deliberately asked Xuanying to return to the Regent's Mansion, for convenience, she also deliberately wore a simple skirt, and even a black hair was simply pulled up, too lazy to take care of it.
Fortunately, she went to Huayunfang yesterday to learn almost, she was already learning things quickly, and she knew what to do, but now she only has to do it.
Ling'er looked at Lou Yueqing, who was planted on making clothes and didn't care about her at all, and then looked at the messy pair of things on the table, feeling aggrieved.
My aunt finally came back, but she didn't take her out to play. Holding a bunch of cloth and ripping and cutting, hum!
Lou Yueqing naturally knew that this little girl was unhappy, but she was full of interest, how could she have the kung fu to take care of her?
However, where is the little girl willing to be ignored like this?
stood up, walked to Lou Yueqing's side in a few steps, and said with a suffocated mouth, "Auntie, Ling'er has no clothes to wear!"
Lou Yueqing raised her eyes and looked at her speechlessly.
Since this little girl came, in addition to sending her a lot of clothes every month, this little girl also has several big boxes, which can't be worn out, and they are piled up directly, so she has no choice but to propose to Mrs. Ning Guo not to send them first, it's too wasteful, she will have no clothes to wear?
Remembering that Rong Zhi was also shameless that day and said that he had no clothes to wear, the corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched, and she looked at her speechlessly, this little girl, if you don't learn, why should you learn from him to be cheeky?
However, she still rubbed the little girl's fleshy face with a smile, and said softly, "Good, when my aunt learns, I'll make one for you!"
Well, let's take Rong Zhi's to practice first!
When Ling'er heard this, her eyes lit up, "Really?"
Clothes made by my aunt, hehehe......
The little light pink dress she wore was actually made by her righteous mother, she liked it, it was so comfortable to wear, but it was definitely more comfortable for her aunt to make!
Lou Yueqing's face was not red and her heart was not beating, "Of course, my aunt can lie to you?"
Ling'er thought about it, it seemed to be the same, so she snorted out and didn't say anything.
At this time, Lou Yichen's words came from the door, "In that case, how about Qing'er learn to do something for her brother?"
Before the sound came, Lou Yueqing heard the sound and looked, and saw Lou Yichen in court clothes walking in.
As soon as he came, Ling'er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rushed over with a smile, "Father-in-law!"
Ling'er ran fast, stepped on the end of the skirt, and almost fell, fortunately, Lou Yichen was fast, and hurriedly caught her and hugged her in his arms, so as not to let her fall, looking at her eyebrows and eyes full of gentleness, she said helplessly, "You can't run like this next time, how can you get it if you fall?"
Ling'er nodded sullenly, "Oh!" Next time she continues, the anti-righteous father can catch her.
Lou Yichen walked over with her in his arms, and on the stool next to the table, he looked at the messy table and frowned.
A few maids behind Lou Yueqing hurriedly saluted, and Lou Yueqing also stood up and said with a smile, "Why did the eldest brother come over just after the next court?"
It's already time, and when you think about it, you know that you've just gone to court.
"Don't worry, you can come and take a look!" then glanced at the table, and said in a somewhat sour tone, "If you don't come, you don't know that Qing'er will be a girl?"
Lou Yichen looked up to the sky and sighed, his own sister is like this, but she is really a model of a woman who is not left!
Looking at Lou Yueqing's position, there was an ink-colored robe, Lou Yichen knew at a glance that it was Rong Zhi's, put it here, isn't it a contrast?
Lou Yueqing touched her nose, "What's the matter, I'm still learning!"
Forgive her for automatically ignoring the sour tone.
Lou Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Oh, in that case, the eldest brother has no clothes to wear, since Qing'er is so leisurely, why don't you make one for the eldest brother?"
The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched.
As far as she knows, her sister-in-law is a well-known lady, and the female red embroidery is well-known in Beijing, she has been married to the eldest brother for so long, and she has also made a lot of clothes for the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will have no clothes to wear?
Is it really good to do this like one or two?
Looking at her reluctantly, Lou Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Difficult?"
Lou Yueqing concluded, "Uh...... Should ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lou Yichen sighed and said helplessly, "I haven't married yet, my heart is so biased, and I will ...... in the future."
Lou Yueqing's face darkened, she could hear the smiles of a few maids behind her, and she could see clearly the teasing smile under her eldest brother's sad eyes, but someone, who was already thin-skinned in terms of feelings, could not stand such ridicule, and hurriedly said, "I'll make one for my eldest brother after I'm done!"
The dissatisfaction with Rong Zhi in her heart was rising, if he hadn't made this broken request, she would have to ask for clothes, and she wouldn't have to be teased.
She decided, in order to vent this evil breath, she made him a dress and then made a pair of obscene pants, and embroidered a few big red flowers on it!
A certain unscrupulous big brother smiled and said that he was satisfied, "Qing'er is so good!"
Lou Yueqing, "......" she is not a child!
Lou Yichen smiled, his face returned to seriousness, and said, "Okay, the father-in-law of Shunde, who was next to the emperor before leaving the palace, came to me and said that the day after tomorrow, Concubine Xue's birthday banquet, if you are fine, you will also go and have fun!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing was a little surprised, "Let me enter the palace?"
She thought that Rong Zhi had taken care of it, and she didn't have to go, but she didn't expect that the emperor would speak in person.
Lou Yichen bowed, "Well, the regent has indeed taken care of it, but the emperor did this time, I am afraid that there will be no danger in this palace banquet, but I will not go to you, the emperor just said, and did not let you go!"
If there is danger, the emperor will not let Lou Yueqing enter the palace, since the emperor has sent the people around him, he must be sure that the palace banquet will not be dangerous, in this case, it will be okay to go.
Anyway, if it wasn't summoned by the Queen Mother, it wouldn't be a big problem.
What's more, the Yongning Palace is all the emperor's people, and Lou Yueqing will not be in any danger if she goes there.
Lou Yueqing said with some sarcasm, "The emperor will not know, in the palace, no one can guarantee that I will be safe and sound, not to mention, the queen mother and I are already incompatible with each other, the queen mother is estimated to do whatever it takes to get rid of me, why does the emperor think that if he thinks that there will be no danger, there will really be no danger?"
Since Rong Zhi explained to her, don't enter the palace easily, she must have also explained to the emperor, don't summon her casually, but Rong Zhi just left the capital for two days, and the emperor sent someone to invite her into the palace.
When Lou Yichen heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he said, "Since this is the case, then I won't go!"
One, he just came to convey the matter. The choice is in the hands of Lou Yueqing, Concubine Xue's birthday banquet, Lou Yueqing doesn't want to go there, so she won't go.
She didn't go, and the emperor didn't have anything to do.
Lou Yueqing shook her head, her smile deepened, "No, I'll go!"
Just go to the diaphragm to answer those people.
