Chapter 34: Words in the Word (1)
This year's Nanfeng Country is a little different from previous years, although autumn has begun, but still does not feel a trace of coolness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At noon, the sun hung high, scorching the earth, hot and stuffy, making people uncomfortable, and people's mood was irritable.
"Guan'er, did the emperor send someone over there?" Concubine Shen wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, and looked out of the door from time to time, feeling very irritable.
Her heart was empty, as if she was expecting something to come, and even she didn't know where this strange feeling in her heart came from.
"Hui Niangniang, no." Wan'er shook her head, then saw the expectation on Concubine Shen's face, thought about it and said with a smile: "Niangniang, this weather is really hot, you miss the emperor so much, do you want someone to make some lotus seed soup and send it to the emperor to relieve the heat?" ”
When Concubine Shen heard this, she withdrew her gaze looking out of the door, her face was a little hot, and she said shyly: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he must be tired." You ask someone to make some lotus seed soup, and wait for the palace to bring it to the emperor in person. ”
"Yes, sissy." Wan'er was snickering in her heart.
The master hasn't seen the emperor for a few days, and he thinks the emperor is here.
Looking at Concubine Shen's appearance, Wan'er couldn't help but quip: "Niangniang, the way you look now, you are like a resentful woman who misses her husband." ”
"You girl, you dare to tease me." After Concubine Shen finished speaking, she covered her mouth and coughed slightly, trying to hide her embarrassment, her face turned crimson.
She was stunned, and felt her face get hotter than before.
Husband?
Your Majesty, is it like her husband?
Thinking of this, her heart is a little sweet, but also inexplicably a little empty, is this what it feels like to miss someone?
"The slave maid went to the imperial dining room to prepare lotus seed soup, and you sit here and wait for a while." Wan'er covered her mouth and snickered a few times.
The emperor loves Niangniang so much, no wonder Niangniang misses her so much after only a few days of not seeing her.
Isn't Niangniang like this now, isn't she a deep resentful woman?
Seeing that Wan'er had already walked out, Concubine Shen was still thinking silently in her heart.
Husband, what a wonderful title.
If only it was her husband alone.
"Niangniang, we've been out for a long time, I guess you're tired too, do you want to go back to the palace to rest?" In the imperial garden, Concubine Qi was wandering around with Yuxi and a group of palace maids, and Yuxi asked beside her.
It was too boring to stay in the palace, Concubine Qi was inexplicably irritable, and she didn't want to do anything, so she took Yuxi out to relax.
The Imperial Garden is cooler than your own palace, and there is a small breeze from time to time, which makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
"Don't worry, let's go shopping again." Concubine Qi replied and continued to walk forward.
Anyway, there is nothing to do, and it is too boring to go back, so it is better to go shopping and relax.
"Niangniang, look, the one sitting in that pavilion seems to be the queen's mother." Yuxi suddenly said in surprise, pointing in the direction of the pavilion.
"If it's really the queen, go over with the palace to have a look." Concubine Qi also noticed Queen Liu sitting in the pavilion, and thought about it for a while, feeling that it was unreasonable to say hello in the past. The corners of his mouth hooked up a chuckle, and he commanded Yuxi.
"Yes." Yuxi nodded in response.
At this time, Queen Liu, who was sitting in the pavilion, had not noticed Concubine Qi and her party.
Her eyes kept looking in one direction, and she kept a sweet smile on her face.
"Niangniang, the eldest prince had a really good time." Xing'er said softly beside her, with a smile on her face.
Today, Queen Liu accompanied the eldest prince out to fly a kite.
Queen Liu's body has always been delicate and can't stand the toss, so she played with the eldest prince for a while, and then sat down to rest.
But children have always liked to play, and the eldest prince was so happy that he didn't want to stop and rest, so Queen Liu simply let some minions accompany him, and she sat in the pavilion to rest and watch.
"Yo, isn't this the queen's mother? What a coincidence, I met you here. Are you also idle and bored to go out and hang out? Concubine Qi walked outside the pavilion and spoke.
In a word, it explains the meaning.
Although Concubine Qi's voice was not loud, she could hear the sharp sarcasm in it. Queen Liu frowned when she heard this, and quickly returned to her natural nature. Turning his head, there was no smile on his face.
"Bengong accompanied Hao'er out to fly a kite, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental that I actually met my sister here." After speaking, Queen Liu had a faint smile on her face again.
The moment Queen Liu spoke, the minions brought by both sides had already saluted.
"So that's the case, the concubine was tired from shopping, so I thought about sitting down and resting, but I didn't expect to see you, the queen mother. The concubine sat down for a while, shouldn't the queen mother? After a slight blessing, Concubine Qi unceremoniously sat down on the stool opposite Queen Liu, and then said.
Hiding the slight displeasure on her face, Queen Liu spoke: "How can it be, my sister is at will." Then he turned to look at the eldest prince.
Concubine Qi also followed Queen Liu's gaze.
At this time, the eldest prince was happily flying a kite.
The open space in the Imperial Garden was large, and the eldest prince was running all the time, with an innocent smile on his face, lively and pleasing to look at.
The sound of giggles kept coming through the pavilion.
"The eldest prince had a great time." Concubine Qi smiled and chatted casually: "Children of this age love to play the most, and watching the eldest prince play so freely makes the concubines envious." ”
"Children, it's inevitable to be playful." Empress Liu glanced at the eldest prince again, her eyes full of doting.
Retracting her gaze, Queen Liu looked at Concubine Qi and said, "My sister is idle and elegant today, so she actually came out to play." Then he picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip.
Yuxi also poured a cup of tea for Qi Guifei, and Qi Guifei drank it in one go, and drank a few cups one after another.
After shopping for a long time, her mouth was dry, and she was really thirsty.
Seeing that Concubine Qi was so invisible, Queen Liu frowned slightly and did not speak again.
Concubine Qi also smiled lightly and replied casually: "The weather has been hot and humid recently, and there are too many things happening in the palace. Some things have been bothering the concubines, so that the concubines have never been able to find the answers, and they are inevitably a little irritable, so they come out to shop. ”
"There are few people in the palace who can talk to the concubines, but I didn't expect to meet the queen mother here today, just to chat and relieve boredom. I don't know if the queen is elegant? Concubine Qi glanced at Empress Liu and asked.
Concubine Qi's eyes were mixed with deep meaning, and that playful expression made Queen Liu inexplicably a little disgusted.
Empress Liu had an intuition in her heart that Concubine Qi didn't just want to chat with herself. I don't want to chat, but I'm embarrassed to talk about people.
"How can you say it elegantly, if my sister has something, just talk about it." Empress Liu replied nonchalantly, the expression of interest on her face was unobstructed.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the confusion in my sister's heart has not been answered. The queen mother has always been smart, and she must know the answer that the concubine wants. The smile on Concubine Qi's face was deeper, compared to Queen Liu's coldness, she was full of interest at this time.
