Chapter 50: Warm Ears and Hearts
The next day, it was only four watches, and Li Muer got up and went out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The moonlight is still cloudy, the earth is still silent, the unmelted ice and snow cover this majestic building, and the Qianqing Palace is quiet inside and out.
She tried to suppress her breathing, but she tried to exhale a thin layer of heat so that her hand could be warmed and her cold red ears warmed.
But in an instant, his hands were cold again, so he had to repeat this action step by step. Turning her head to look at the hazy fog, Li Mu'er felt that this winter seemed to be extraordinarily long.
After waiting for a long time, the lights in the warm pavilion finally turned on, and there was a faint movement. Li Mu'er hurriedly went to pass the deacons and others, fortunately, they were much more experienced than her, and they had already prepared all kinds of affairs and were waiting for the emperor to get up.
Suddenly there was a quiet return.
Li Mu'er is unsure, should she go in now or continue to wait? turned around and wanted to ask the four palace maids holding the purple gold basin behind him, but they all bent over and lowered their heads, looking like they were obeying orders.
I had no choice but to give up, cleared my throat secretly, and asked weakly at the door, "Your Majesty, are you up?"
Zhu Youzhu had gotten up a moment ago to sit quietly and wake up, and when he heard this, he was being hugged by the queen and coquettish: "Your Majesty, sleep with me for a while......"
He was about to backhand to soothe her when he paused, and the slightly hoarse voice of the person outside echoed in his ears, was she cold, would she freeze?
The queen looked at his half-closed eyes, obviously trying her best to hide her emotions, so she felt a sense of chagrin in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Bachelor of women, come in."
Li Mu'er respectfully agreed, led everyone in, and when she pushed the door, she glanced at her intimate appearance around his waist.
Subconsciously lowered his eyebrows and avoided it, and stood by the door.
The ladies of the palace stepped forward to serve him to wash, and passed her past and hurriedly retreated, and she ignored it. Later, a year-old palace maid took a comb and wanted to cut his hair, but the queen took it, and she didn't find it.
The queen stood behind Zhu Youzhu and tied his hair with her own hands, each comb was very close to the warmth, and each comb was familiar with the usual.
"Your Majesty," she suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth and asked, "Do you remember, the day after our wedding, I also did this for you, what did you say when you took Lezhi's hand?" ”
Zhu Youzhu opened his eyes, looked in the mirror lightly, and did not answer.
The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth was even worse, "The emperor said that he wants to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated." ”
If Li Mu'er can still calmly act as if everything is ordinary now, then she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
The queen must be to stimulate herself and let herself retreat!
Li Mu'er was slandering, so she heard the queen call her: "Bachelor girl, look, am I combing well?" Can it be straightened? ”
Li Mu'er hurriedly looked up at Zhu Youji's bun, and the figure in the mirror unexpectedly came into her eyes. This is the first time she has seen him just woke up, although he is a little sleepy and energetic, but her sweetheart is still so handsome and good-looking.
Li Mu'er thought like this, and felt happy in her heart, the sourness just now was undercurrent, and she was pressed back to the bottom of her heart by a sweet taste, and replied with a smile: "The queen's craftsmanship is very good."
He beckoned the palace maid who was holding clothes next to him and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to change your clothes." It's cold, don't catch a cold. ”
Zhu Youzhu still didn't speak, got up, took a few steps forward, and spread his arms.
I don't know if it's Li Mu'er's illusion, there seems to be a smile in his eyes.
And the queen personally got started and dressed him with a crown. Li Mu'er lowered her head and didn't dare to face it, nor did she want to face it, but when she finally handed over the shawl, she looked at it a few more times.
The shawl was made of precious fur in a circle about six or seven inches high, with a long piece sewn on each side corresponding to the ear. In this way, the hoop is on the outside of his winged crown, the head of the leather ring guard, and the long pieces on both sides cover the ears, achieving a good effect of keeping out the cold. Li Mu'er thought to herself, this thing is much warmer than the ear protection she used to wear at home.
Finally waited for Zhu Youzhu to get dressed, and the queen was tired, Li Mu'er hurriedly followed his ass to the court.
The queen's mouth moved, and finally she felt that it was not good to leave her directly, so she went.
Li Mu'er walked beside Zhu Youji's sedan chair and sighed deeply. Looking at the large cloud of white vapor that came out, she covered her mouth and snickered. In winter, his chariot has been replaced by a sedan chair with a roof and a railing, Li Mu'er can't see him, but he still walks with joy.
In fact, she didn't know what she was stupidly happy about. Maybe it's because being able to be by his side as she wishes, and being with him almost every step of the way, has made her satisfied enough.
Walking to the Fengtian Gate, Li Mu'er and the person carrying the sedan chair had to stop. Zhu Youzhu got off the sedan chair and was about to leave Fengtianmen to listen to the government, when he suddenly turned around and walked back, took off the shawl on his head, and put it on Li Muer.
Li Mu'er looked at him with wide eyes, and heard him fiddle with her head while saying, "Eh, it seems too big." Go back and ask them to make one for you, save you from coveting me. Okay, wait here so it doesn't get cold. ”
After speaking, he quickly covered her face with both hands, turned around and left, leaving Li Mu'er stunned in place, her nose twitching.
In the early days of this day, all the officials wore warm ears, but the emperor on the throne was so cold that his ears were red.
Finally heard the whip of the next dynasty, Li Mu'er anxiously leaned over to see him approaching, put the shawl back on him, and said happily on tiptoe: "Wait for the queen to see if she is happy." I'll wear it for a while, and you wear it for a while, so that we won't be cold. ”
The two looked at each other, tomorrow and tomorrow were freezing, but their hearts were as warm as spring.
After she changed into civilian clothes for Zhu Youji, Li Mu'er asked someone to present tea soup and various kinds of cake bait, and then set up a morning banquet in the palace. Last night, Nadeyan caught her and taught her for half the night, and she didn't dare to be sloppy at all.
Zhu Youzhu and the queen ate together, and there were two tables on the table, on which various dishes were displayed, all of which were mainly light. Next to the royal table, there are also several small cases, and there is a special person from the Shangshi Bureau here to taste the dishes and test the poison.
When the couple moved chopsticks, Li Mu'er said in her heart that it should be none of her business now. Unexpectedly, the good and not the bad spirit, the queen seemed to be able to read mind-reading spells, and immediately named her:
"Your Majesty, this wild fungus is precious, and the female bachelor is doing a good job today, so it's better to reward her."
Zhu Youzhu only hummed.
Li Mu'er twitched her big mouth in her heart, but she smiled on her face, "Thank you for your reward." ”
Then he walked to the small case in a muffled voice, took the reward handed by the palace people, and stood aggrievedly and ate it in one bite.
I think it's funny again, so coincidentally rewarding Mu'er to eat fungus, the emperor really has a mind-reading spell.
Come to think of it this way, well, it tastes really good.
After eating several dishes, the palace people beside her all cast envious eyes, and they must have felt that this female bachelor was really valued by the emperor, and even the queen loved her so much.
Li Muer wants to cry without tears, these people, can they have a correct outlook? !
Finally survived a meal, and finally sent away this living bodhisattva, Li Mu'er knocked on the old waist and moved to Zhu Youji's side step by step to grind ink.
He Wending squinted at her and smiled, and he also smiled very connotatively, so angry that Li Mu'er waved his fist at him. But she held her waist with one hand, and with a wave of her hand holding the ink strip, she threw out a few drops of ink and threw them on Zhu Youji's face.
He Wending immediately held back a smile and bowed his head, Li Muer hurriedly pulled his sleeve to wipe him, and said with a smile: "Ah, it wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional."
Zhu Youzhu put the post in his hand and slanted his eyebrows and said, "What?" Revenge? ”
Li Mu'er saw that the sleeves wiped the skin on his cheeks, so he had to change his hand and gently wipe it, "How dare you." Besides, the minister has nothing to take revenge on! ”
Her fingers were not as smooth as ordinary women, and they were a little calloused rough, but such an ingentle touch calmed Zhu Youji.
This morning, seeing the queen give her a horse everywhere, I saw that he was in a dilemma and was upset. The queen is the distressed wife he is marrying, and he has always let her mess around, but today she didn't do anything out of the ordinary on her face, but it made him extremely uncomfortable.
Maybe Li Mu'er is right, if she is accepted as a concubine, she doesn't know how to be bullied.
"You're really not angry?"
The ink stains on his face had been wiped clean, but Li Mu'er was reluctant to stretch out her hand back, still caressing his face and replied, "A little bit...... I'll get used to it, though. You told me to follow her wishes, I remember! You see, she didn't do anything to me! Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, not for the rest of your life. ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at her for a long time, if she really can't be married in this life, it may be beautiful to be accompanied by such a confidant. However, the regret in the corner of my heart is also a lifetime, right?
Forced smiled: "You can see it."
Li Mu'er also smiled, "Fortunately, you are a diligent person, and you can't finish your business, so I don't have to be jealous!" ”
Zhu Youzhu was coaxed to joy by her jealousy, and went about doing business with peace of mind.
