13. Chapter XIII
That night, Xiao Yan was really tossed five or six times by Qianlong, who was in high spirits, in various postures that seemed very unbelievable to her.
When Xiao Yan fell asleep in Qianlong's warm embrace in a daze, she was still secretly slandering in her heart: Could it be that the legendary merry Qianlong scum is really seven times a night? Five times is already a lot, okay, why do you want to do it again? Is there an additional reward for this kind of thing?!
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yan almost slept until the third pole of the sun, if it weren't for her strong vigilance, she woke up when she got up early in the morning when Qianlong was in the morning, otherwise it was very likely that she would not wake up until noon.
It was Qianlong who tossed too much the night before, otherwise how could she do such a humiliating thing? You know, when she used to have morning exercises at the military school, she had never been late once!
As soon as Xiao Yan came to her senses, she was startled by the startled system.
"Host, host! Qianlong's favorability of the master has increased by 10 points, and it is now 5 points. Congratulations to the host, congratulations to the host! The master finally became a daughter-in-law, and finally turned positive! This is a historic moment, and this is a moment that deserves to be remembered together...... However, why did Qianlong's favorability towards his master have turned positive, but he didn't have the slightest gratitude for the fact that the master saved his unborn fourth elder brother? It's really unscientific......"
Xiao Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, only to feel that countless black lines instantly fell on her forehead. Xiao Yan suddenly had an epiphany, this system that seems to be domineering on the surface is actually a confused joke inside!
Qianlong saw that Xiao Yan had sat up in a daze, but she didn't seem to be fully awake, her pink cheeks were tinged with the unique ruddy flush of the morning, like a freshly ripe juicy peach, although a pair of delicate phoenix eyes were not as clear and bright as usual, but they were covered with a thin layer of mist, the confused look in her eyes matched with the stunned expression on her face, it looked extremely innocent, but there was something else moving.
Qianlong was particularly happy last night, and after getting up this morning, he unexpectedly did not feel a trace of fatigue, but felt comfortable and refreshed.
After thinking about it for a while, Qianlong thought that it was precisely because of the beautiful woman he liked that he would be in a good mood, so he would feel happy and not tired. As a result, Qianlong looked at Xiao Yan and felt that it was a little more pleasing to the eye than when he first saw him.
It was Qianlong who saw that Xiao Yan did not immediately get up and serve him in person to freshen up and change his clothes like other concubines, not only did he not feel half unhappy in his heart, but thoughtfully let Xiao Yan sleep a little longer.
Xiao Yan, who came back to her senses, dared to be pampered and arrogant, and hurriedly got up in her clothes, and waited for Qianlong to wash and change clothes according to the rules that her grandmothers had taught.
Qianlong looked at a few ambiguous kiss marks on Xiao Yan's white neck, and remembered that there were many such marks on Xiao Yan's body, and some of the marks were even in extremely ** places, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and his tall body was also a little emotional.
When Xiao Yan was sorting out the dragon robe he was wearing for Qianlong, he suddenly heard Qianlong praise with a light smile: "Xiao Chang is really smart and ingenious, although it is the first time to do these skills to serve me to tidy up the robe, but the rules are not bad, even better than my chief attendant Wu Shulai." Xiao Chang is so well-behaved and sensible, I have decided to reward you with the same unique gift, all as a reward for you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
When Xiao Yan heard Qianlong mention the reward, her mind suddenly flashed with antiques, jewelry, jewelry, clothes and other objects that the emperor usually gave to the concubines in the palace, and she secretly thought in her heart that it would be a good thing if she could get a delicate and elegant jade bracelet.
Qianlong saw Xiao Yan's eyes showing anticipation, smiled slightly, turned around and took a delicate snuffbox from the bedside cabinet, and put it in the palm of her hand in person, her handsome face did not see the majesty and elegance of her usual days, her thin lips were slightly hooked, and there was an ambiguous chuckle on her lips.
"This is a rare good thing, although the painting on it is a copy of Tang Yin's authentic handwriting, but it is exquisite, agile, ingenious. You have to keep it well, in addition to studying and playing with me, it also has the effect of protecting yourself from evil spirits. ”
Xiao Yan only thought that this snuffbox was an exquisite handicraft at first, but seeing that the smile on Qianlong's face was quite ambiguous and strange, she took a closer look at the snuffbox in her hand.
When Xiao Yan saw the delicate painting on the snuffbox, she almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. It's just that the snuff box is not painted with mountains and rivers or flowers and butterflies, but a detailed picture of the secret drama of the Spring Palace. Especially the difficult posture on this picture is the posture of the pit father who tossed Xiao Yan to death last night!
Seeing Xiao Yan staring at the snuffbox rewarded by Qianlong in a daze, the system hurriedly reminded on the side: "Don't think crookedly, master!" In fact, according to the history secretary, the unprecedented prosperity of the Spring Palace in Chinese history was in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Spring Palace works of Tang Yin and Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty have reached a very high level in art and are regarded as treasures by many collectors! The Ming Dynasty also had a color-matched woodcut color printing technology for printing spring palace maps, which made ancient spring palace maps widely circulated at that time. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people believed that the spring palace paintings were not only made for guidance or recreation, but also used as amulets. It is believed that the yang energy represented by the painting at the apex gives life can drive away the yin energy that represents darkness. There are many people who often put this kind of painting in their suitcase to prevent insects! ”
Xiao Yan: "...... Then I really thank Qianlong scum for rewarding me with a magical insect prevention tool. ”
No matter how much Xiao Yan slandered in her heart, she still had a shy smile on the surface, and thanked Qianlong softly.
Qianlong left Xiao Yan to have breakfast together in the West Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, and suddenly said to Xiao Yan before going to the court: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will hold a family banquet in the Qianqing Palace in the evening, and all the concubines who have served in the harem can attend. At the banquet, I am afraid that there are few games such as guessing lantern riddles and composing poems and sentences. If you are not good at poetry and painting, I am afraid that you will make a fool of yourself when the time comes. I have a lot of poetry here, and if you take it back and memorize a few of them, although they are not your own poems, they will not make a fool of themselves at the family banquet and become a joke after dinner. ”
Qianlong said as he motioned for Wu Shulai to pick up a book of poems and personally handed over the collection of poems to Xiao Yan.
Wu Shulai was secretly surprised, this poetry collection is the emperor's recent idle game work, and it is a poetry collection transcribed by the emperor's imperial pen himself. On weekdays, the emperor has never let anyone else touch this poetry collection, but now he gave it to Xiao Changzai. It can be seen that the emperor's treatment of Xiao Changzai is really not thin, this young and beautiful Xiao Changzai has the emperor's blue eyes just after entering the palace, but I am afraid that the future blessing will be great!
Xiao Yan thanked him, and after sending Qianlong away, she casually flipped through the poetry collection in her hand, pursed her lips, and showed a helpless look on her face.
Write poems, write poems! Poetry again! Qianlong scum himself has nothing to do and likes to compose poems, but now he still tortures her, and he has to compose poems together! Qianlong's scumbag's preference is really not good, if there is a chance in the future, he should find a way to help Qianlong cultivate a new way of leisure and entertainment.
Xiao Yan didn't know at that time, in fact, Qianlong gave her this collection of poems, and she already had the intention of trying in her heart.
Qianlong deliberately mixed the poems of the late Qing literati and writers into it to test whether Xiao Yan had a similar experience to him. But I don't want Xiao Yan to be most afraid of memorizing poems and composing poems in her life, so I am not familiar with these poems. Therefore, the situation that Qianlong painstakingly set up was easily resolved by Xiao Yan. It's just throwing a flattering eye at the blind, and it doesn't do anything at all......
Because Wu Shulai and Qiulan, the palace maid who was newly assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve Xiao Yan in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, both returned to Qianlong, saying that Xiao Yan's expression and behavior were not inappropriate when she was looking through the poetry collection, and she should have seen these works for the first time. Xiao Yan still doesn't recognize some complicated characters, and often reads a poem with a beautiful artistic conception. Such a reaction is very consistent with Xiao Yan's identity as a concubine who has been mistreated by her mother since she was a child, so that Qianlong could not find a flaw, so he missed a good opportunity to explore the truth and Xiao Yan's true identity.
