Chapter 21: Born from the Heart
Su Wanqing couldn't help laughing, "There are many Pingchuan in the north, how can the emperor see the beautiful scenery of Jiangtian and the sky?" ”
The emperor's thoughts flew far away, as if he had returned to that night for many years. In the evening www.biquge.info Jinling is particularly lively, and the literati often bring a pot of wine to stop at the riverside restaurant, while chanting poems and enjoying the river scenery. The Yangtze River is magnificent, the amount of water is especially abundant in summer, and the sky is blue when the sky is clear, and the river water is connected to each other, regardless of each other.
After many years on the throne, he seemed to be the majestic and inviolable lord of the world, and no one mentioned the time when he was the prince - he was not taken seriously, and he was sent to Southern Chu to congratulate the foreign emperor on his birthday.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Su Wanqing glanced at him a few times, and his expression was rarely a little relieved.
The emperor came back to his senses, "Naturally, you can't see it in the north, if you want to enjoy the scenery of the river and the sky, the best is Jinling, I have been there when I dived." ”
Su Wanqing heard him mention Jinling, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. It is said that it is the hometown of Zheng'er Bajing, but because of the ambition of the Emperor Chengxi in front of him, he has left his hometown for so many years, relying only on the memories of his youth, and he can no longer remember the scenery of his hometown.
"That's it." The emperor let go of her hand, took the pen and placed it on the ink jade pen holder, "I'm tired today, let's settle it early." ”
Su Wanqing's cheeks were slightly red, and she muttered, "The concubine hasn't bathed yet, the emperor will wait, and the concubine will come when she goes." ”
The emperor especially liked her shyness, so he teased her with his heart, "I bathe with Wanwan." ”
Therefore, Su Wanqing was tossed all night, from the Nanmu carved bath bucket to the soft couch, the emperor could not be satisfied for a long time.
Soon it was August, the heat was gone, and the morning and evening began to feel fresh. In the end, it was the emperor's birthday day, and a few days ago, red silk knots of various patterns were hung everywhere in the palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
Chunlan waited for Su Wanqing to put on the robe used to participate in the banquet, the robe was indeed a little more dignified and heavy than the usual clothes, the gold silk embroidery under the collar stretched out, lingering to the armpits, and the front and back of the robe were complex clouds and sea auspicious patterns. The concubines are of different grades, the background color of the robes is different, and the complexity of the ornamentation is also different. Su Wanqing is in the fifth grade of Fangyi, and the background color is purple.
"The little master is really a natural beauty, and he doesn't look old when he wears such solemn clothes, but he is full of charm."
"Good girl, dare to tease me!" Su Wanqing was noncommittal to Chunlan's words, so he just smiled.
As soon as the palace people who were waiting in the house saw that the master was in a good mood, they also joked one after another, as long as it was not too out of line, Su Wanqing would not care.
Just after Shen Shi, Su Wanqing left Fuchen Hall and went to Changchun Palace. When she got over there, Yuan Xingying also cleaned up, because of the faint gouache, she looked much more energetic this day, with a hint of playfulness on her delicate face.
"All ready?"
Yuan Xingying nodded, "Sister Jia, I'm still a little scared. ”
Su Wanqing smiled lightly and took her hand and said comfortingly, "As long as you're ready, don't be afraid." ”
Yuan Xingying nodded timidly, with a panicked look on her face.
The low-ranking concubines did not have many low-ranking positions in the harem, so they had to wait early to participate in the banquet. When he arrived at Yonghe Palace, those who were lower than Su Wanqing were already seated. Her position is eighth on the right-hand side, some distance from the emperor's main seat, and on the left is the concubine Zhao Shuyan.
Su Wanqing walked over and gestured with his chin, and said with a smile, "Why did Sister Yi come so early, is the imperial heir in the womb?" ”
Concubine Yi is a gentle and polite person, and seeing her kind care, she is very receptive, and she salutes back, "Xie Jia Fangyi cares, and the concubine is all right." ”
Su Wanqing only smiled and didn't say much, and before long, many concubines arrived at Yonghe Palace one after another. It was Min Ji who sat on her right, also wearing a purple robe, which looked particularly small and delicate on Min Ji.
"Concubine De is here, Concubine Xian is here."
The high-pitched shouts of the celebrant eunuchs sounded, and the concubines in the palace stood up one after another to stop the salute. Concubine De was dressed in a pomegranate red auspicious pattern robe, wearing a phoenix hairpin bead crown, as bewitching as before, in contrast, the indigo robe worn by Concubine Xian was a little more pleasing to the eye.
When Concubine De passed by Su Wanqing's side, she saw her squatting down with low eyebrows and asking for peace, she was a little complacent, raised her arms and raised her wide sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked over.
Concubine Yi and Min Ji saw Concubine De's arrogance in their eyes, but they couldn't say anything, they only pulled her sleeves and secretly winked.
Soon, the emperor's royal car arrived, followed by Murong Guifei. Everyone knelt on the ground, but they were still curious to see the appearance of the concubine. The emperor was dressed in a Ming and Huang court dress with a dragon group pattern, and the nine dragons were all over the shoulders and waistline, and the golden crown of the dragon was tied to the chin, and the majesty and treasure were natural. The concubine wears a peony red robe and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, just like a queen's bearing.
Su Wanqing only raised his eyelids slightly, and couldn't see the faces of the emperor and the concubine clearly, but looking at the battle so big, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the emperor from the bottom of his heart.
When the emperor passed by Su Wanqing's side, he paused slightly, and watched her carefully raise her eyelids to take a look, and his heart was happy, but due to etiquette, he still looked unfazed, and after a pause, he walked onto the throne.
After the emperor and the concubine sat down, the concubines saw the big gift and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live the noble concubine."
Murong Guifei said, "Sisters, let's get even!" ”
The sound was like a warbler's cry, and Su Wanqing looked up curiously at the concubine who was sitting in the distance. Murong Guifei is really a good style and good looks, her palm-sized melon seed face is particularly beautiful, the two curved willow eyebrows are delicate and well-proportioned, and the mouth and nose are small and exquisite. At first glance, I can't really tell her age.
After everyone sat down, the song and dance began, but Su Wanqing had no intention of appreciating it, and looked sideways slightly, Yuan Xingying's seat was already empty, leaving Qiu Sui alone to guard the back.
Murong Yin'er glanced at the emperor a few times with her eyes, and suddenly raised her glass and said, "The concubine drinks this cup full, respects the emperor, and wishes the emperor to be as blessed as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan." ”
The Emperor sighed absentmindedly, and took the golden bottle cup and drank it with his neck tilted.
Murong Yin'er had already seen that the emperor's mind was disordered, and she followed the emperor's gaze and happened to fall on Su Wanqing. There was a slight pause when the Emperor Shicai walked up to her, and now he stared at the woman as if he was nothing, so it seemed that he had recently been favored.
Su Wanqing didn't notice the emperor's gaze at all, and tasted fruit wine with Min Ji throughout the whole process. Min Ji lives up to the word "Min", she is really smart, and the two of them are very interesting together, and they don't even care about the age difference and the dignity of their status.
"The emperor is a martial artist, and he is also very fond of calligraphy and painting, and I even understood the emperor's thirty-six millimeters when I was driving. Therefore, this time, I made a pen for the emperor as a birthday gift, I hope the emperor will not dislike it. ”
Su Wanqing said with a smile, "The concubine and my sister have the same idea, my sister guess what." ”
