Chapter 39: The harem is quiet

The night is dark and the stars are scarce, and the night is quiet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's fifteen today, but there is no moon surprisingly.

Jiang Yu sat on the couch, looked at the picture of the lady on the screen in front of him, yawned, and then his eyelids were a little fighting, and his head couldn't help but peck at the chicken.

The body fell down and hit the small table, Jiang Yu reopened his eyes and sat upright, cheered up, shook his head to make himself sober.

Tourmaline came in with a bowl of soup from outside, curtled his knees to Jiang Yu, and said, "Niangniang, you don't use much at night, the small kitchen cooks soup, you can use a little." ”

Jiang Yu glanced at her, frowned, and asked, "Why are you, Moyu?"

Tourmaline replied: "Moyu has been dozing off when she was preparing the soup for the mother, and the slave maid saw that she was too tired to hold on, so she asked her to rest first, and the slave maid brought the soup on her behalf. ”

Jiang Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tourmaline put down the tray in his hand and took out the soup inside and put it in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu took a look, and it was a soup stewed with lily lotus seeds and bird's nest, with a layer of rose marinade on it, and it was packed in a small bowl of sweet white porcelain, which was fragrant and tempting to look at.

Jiang Yu was indeed a little hungry, so he picked up the soup and scooped it with a spoon, just about to put it in his mouth. But as soon as the spoon reached his mouth, he paused again and stopped suddenly.

Seeing this, Tourmaline looked at Jiang Yu and asked, "What's the matter, Niangniang, is this soup not to your taste." ”

Jiang Yu put the spoon back into the bowl, put the bowl down, looked up at the tourmaline and said, "Zichen Palace is very quiet today. There wasn't even a palace person in the empty Zichen Palace, and he asked again: "What about the palace people who are waiting, why don't you see anyone?"

Tourmaline smiled lightly and said, "Niangniang forgot, it was you who said that you wanted to be quiet, and then let the palace people go down." ”

Jiang Yu said: "Really?"

It seems that it is.

Jiang Yu wiped the sweat on the bridge of his nose with a handkerchief, and said, "My memory is not very good recently, but I forgot it." ”

Tourmaline smiled lightly and glanced at the untouched soup on the table.

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, then remembered something, and ordered: "Wait a minute, prepare clothes for the palace to go out." Since the queen asked the palace concubine to pray for the first emperor in the Fengxian Palace, as a member of the harem, the palace can't be too special, don't you say, tourmaline?"

Tourmaline said: "Niang Niang shows her wisdom and knowledge, and what she said is naturally right." And he said, "The slave and maid will go and help the mother prepare the clothes in a while." ”

Jiang Yu nodded when he heard this, a little satisfied with her flattery, and said proudly: "This palace also thinks that this palace is quite beautiful, wise and knowledgeable. ”

Tourmaline smiled and said, "Niangniang, drink the soup quickly, if you don't drink it again, it will be cold." ”

Jiang Yu picked up the soup again and slowly brought it to his mouth with a spoon.

The rose marinade is accompanied by the sweetness of fresh lotus seeds and lilies, and the bird's nest is lightly fragrant.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but say: "Who made this lotus seed lily bird's nest soup, it's not bad." After saying that, the soup in the bowl ran out in three or two bites, put down the soup, and smashed his mouth with a reminiscence, and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

It's just that not long after it was finished, Jiang Yu's sleepiness came up again, and his eyelids were more and more together, and he couldn't open them.

yawned three times in succession, tears were about to come out, then stood up, and hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "No, this palace is very sleepy, you have to go to the bed to lie down for a while, you go to find clothes for this palace first, and then wake up this palace after finding it." ”

Tourmaline hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Yu, who was so sleepy that he couldn't even stand on his feet, and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid will serve you to the bed to rest first." ”

Jiang Yu nodded, then took her hand into the inner hall, didn't even take off her clothes, fell directly to the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Tourmaline shoved a pillow behind her head, covered it with a quilt, put down the tent, and then stood a step away from the bed, silently watching her.

Soon after, there was a sound of shallow but hurried footsteps outside the hall, and the figure of a woman stepped over the screen and walked behind Tourmaline.

Tourmaline turned her head to look, but what she saw was an elderly palace maid named Yuyu who was serving in the small kitchen of Zichen Palace.

Tourmaline looked at her with a calm face, while Yuyu nodded at her.

At the same time, in the Jiaolan Palace.

The whole palace was still brightly lit, Meng Xuanyu was sitting on the couch, her knees covered with a blanket, and she was embroidering a red belly pocket with hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren.

Zhiqi walked in gently but hurriedly from outside.

Meng Xuanyu looked up along the voice, then put away the last stitch in her hand and buried the thread, put the needle basket on the small table next to her, and then asked, "How is Zichen Palace?"

Zhiqi curtched at her, looked at her and replied, "Everything is going according to Childe's plan." ”

Meng Xuanyu didn't say anything more, her eyes looked ahead, and she didn't seem to see anything.

After a while, she suddenly sighed deeply and said, "It's so quiet tonight, there is no moon, and there are no stars." ”

Zhiqi said: "The queen asked the palace concubines to go to the first hall to pray for the first emperor, and the emperor is not in the palace, so the palace is naturally quiet." ”

Meng Xuanyu said: "Yes, there is no master in the harem, and it can't be lively." ”

It's just such a quiet night, but it reminds her of when she entered the palace three years ago.

It wasn't night, but the weather was bad, and it was gloomy as if it was going to rain. A simple black lacquered sedan chair carried her from outside the palace into the palace in this way.

She has always regretted all these years, regretting that there was no grand ceremony on the day she became the emperor's woman, and even that night she spent alone in Jiaolan Palace, full of hope until the candles were burned out, but the emperor did not come to her palace.

She always remembered how grand Meng Yuyu was on the day she entered the palace, and the emperor did not hesitate to show his love for her to the world.

Even if the emperor later told her that this favor was for outsiders to see, it still made people crazy with jealousy......

But this grand ceremony that made her jealous was like marrying the queen, which did not make Meng Yuyu happy, and in the past three years since she entered the palace, she has not lived happily in this palace.

Meng Xuanyu thought that the emperor didn't love her, and she didn't love the emperor, so she wasn't suitable for this harem at all.

Follow Zhou Yun, go away and fly high, and never come back.

Meng Xuanyu closed her eyes, opened them again, and asked Zhiqi again, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

Zhiqi replied: "The old problem of gout and insomnia of the Queen Mother has been committed again, and she summoned the imperial doctor to give her acupuncture in her palace." ”

The Queen Mother's gout and insomnia fell when she gave birth to Qi Wang Yuwenjiong, and she would have an attack almost once a month, and it hurt so much that it hurt to kill her, and she was not cured for more than ten years.

Although Meng Xuanyu knew that the queen mother's gout attack would not pay so much attention to the harem, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

The Queen Mother's mind is hard to guess, and there are many eyes and ears in the harem, she doesn't want to mess up everything today because of her.

Meng Xuanyu said: "Change clothes for the palace, the palace will go to Jing'an Palace to visit the Queen Mother." ”
