Chapter 14

Li Shun, the chief manager of Ouchi, watched the emperor's chopsticks clip a piece of radish soaked in honey water, and put it into his mouth without any struggle, and then naturally commented: "It's very refreshing, what is added to it?" ”

After Pan Chen thought about it, he replied: "With honey and dried dates, I made it last winter, and there is only the last bit left of the two jars to eat." ”

Li Shun's eyebrows were abrupt, this master spoke too straightly, and actually said directly that this radish was leftover from her eating, and thought that the emperor would react, but Li Shun found that the emperor actually accepted this setting very calmly, and after nodding, he pointed to the bun in the rattan basket to Pan Chen, Pan Chen hurriedly put down the things in his hand and prepared a second one for the emperor.

Li Shun, who ate a meal, was frightened, but fortunately, there was no danger, and he secretly wiped a cold sweat.

After Qi Mozhou finished eating, he originally planned to go back to the Taihe Hall to review the folds, but I don't know if this meal was too smooth or what, Qi Mozhou didn't want to leave, so he asked Li Shun to go to the Taihe Hall to move a few folds to be dealt with at night, and he walked directly into the Roufu Palace.

Pan Chen saw Li Shun leave in a hurry, and brought two other little eunuchs, looking at the look of the emperor should be to get things for the emperor, it is estimated that the emperor thinks that what she served just now is not bad, and he is not going to leave tonight, Pan Chen subconsciously touched his ass and old waist, and his heart palpitated. Comforting himself is only the second day of bed, every concubine has such a process, first pet and then decline, if you are lucky, you will be tepid in the palace, and if you are unlucky, you will go directly to the cold palace, as for how long the emperor can insist on petting, this is not something that Pan Chen can control.

After figuring this out, Pan Chen had nothing to worry about, and followed the emperor into the house, but the emperor stood at the door and stopped, looked left and right, as if he felt that the furnishings in the house were a little different from yesterday, Pan Chen immediately reacted, stepped forward and smiled at Qi Mozhou:

"The concubine hasn't thanked the emperor for the reward, I have used everything, but it looks good."

The reward sent by the Inner Court Division today, although it is a consolation prize sent by the group, but you always have to thank the boss for receiving things, Pan Chen felt that he had done the right thing, and Qi Mozhou also felt that Pan Chen had done the right thing, his eyes looked at those imperial gifts twice, and nodded:

"If you like it."

Li Shun hasn't come back yet, Qi Mozhou is not in a hurry to work, standing in front of the long case and looking at the peach blossoms planted by Pan Chen for a while, Pan Chen let the moon set and they served tea, on it was mint orange peel tea, poured a cup, the room was full of fragrance, Qi Mozhou took a sip, the aroma was overflowing, but the taste was very light, his eyes fell on the four fruits that Pan Chen took out from the back room, the two things containing melon seeds looked very unusual, Pan Chen saw that Qi Mozhou's eyes had been staring at the melon seeds, thinking that he was going to eat, and took the utensils and sent them to him, but Qi Mozhou shook his head, Pointing to the utensils in Pan Chen's hand, he said:

"How can this be used to hold melon seeds?"

Pan Chen looked at the things in his hand, and then realized that the emperor was not looking at melon seeds, but the utensils containing melon seeds, and replied: "Because ...... Other things don't fit, it's too small. ”

Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen while drinking tea: "......"

Just when Pan Chen was uncomfortable, Li Shun went and returned, and moved the folds that the emperor had not finished in the Taihe Palace, when Qi Mozhou came in, he noticed that there was a small study in Pan Chen's main hall, through the beaded curtain satin, a small lamp was on, and pointed in the direction, Li Shun took the eunuch behind him to the small study arranged by Pan Chen, there were several rows of bookshelves in the small study, and a soft couch, there was a rectangular low-legged coffee table on the soft couch, and a table and a stool, a small pear round table with yellow flowers inlaid with talc surface, Qi Mozhou's spontaneous requisition of Pan Chen's place, there is no shame, although Pan Chen feels a little unhappy, but she doesn't dare to squeak if she borrows her courage, the place and things belong to the boss, even she is the private property of the boss in law, not to mention using your place, even if you use her, she has to greet her with a smile, not to mention that the boss just uses the place, and she doesn't need to serve next to her, Pan Chen successfully overcame the little insignificant unhappiness in his heart at that time, and gave up the place in a hurry.

Qi Mozhou sat on her soft couch, his eyes swept around the bookshelf, books, books, categories, three religions and nine streams, all kinds of things, casually swept, he actually saw a 'pig raising strategy', couldn't help but look back through the beaded curtain satin, only to see her standing in the hall for a while, then decisively turned around and went to the bedroom. Qi Mozhou retracted his gaze, sat on the soft couch and prepared to start work, the soft couch was facing the window, and there was a four-fan screen on the windowsill, red sandalwood shelf, white jade thin bottom, glazed painting lake and mountains, at a glance, he knew that it was a good thing, squinted and looked at the lower right corner of the red sandalwood frame, and sure enough, there was a word "royal".

Li Shun also noticed the screen, and had the impression that this should be something that the Inner Court Division gave to the Wupin Niangniang, not only that, but Li Shun also noticed that many of the other furnishings in the house seemed to be gifts from the emperor...... Suddenly gave birth to a very powerless feeling, using the things given by the emperor as a thing, what kind of road did this lady take? It's too wild.

Pan Chen stood in the hall and watched his small study to be requisitioned, there were more lights lit up than her bedroom, shining like daylight, her bedroom is quite large, adding up to an estimated 18 to 200 square meters, it was originally divided into two pieces, a hospitality flower hall is connected to a bedroom, Pan Chen let people use bead curtains to separate a small study, it became three places, a person in the flower hall feels too stupid, and is afraid of disturbing the boss's office, Pan Chen went to the bedroom, paper, pen and books are in the small study, now it is not appropriate to go in and get it, Thinking about it, let Yueluo take the courgette seeds given by the imperial dining room, sit under the lamp, and carefully wash the seeds that are still wrapped in the skin with a basin of water.

Together with the moonfall and starfrost, it took about an hour to wash, and finally it was all done, Pan Chen washed his hands, walked to the south window of the room and looked at the trumpet leakage carved by herself, three small copper buckets, a large copper bucket, arranged in a stepped shape, from the top copper bucket to the bottom leakage, from top to bottom, water leaked into the big copper bucket, there is a vertical scale in the center of the big copper bucket, on which twelve hours are drawn, this is also Pan Chen's own thing to see the time, the sundial can only see the time of the day and the good day, but the leakage can see any time, This is relatively simple physics knowledge, Pan Chen, as a scholar, is not so troublesome to do this, the most important thing is for convenience.

The missing engraving shows that it is now three o'clock in the evening, that is, around half past eight in the evening, not early or late, if the emperor does not come, Pan Chen can start taking a bath at this time, washing his hair, and then inking ink, and when his hair is almost dry, he goes to bed at about ten o'clock, no matter how the work and rest time, anyway, it is her own business, but now that the emperor is here, sleeping has become a matter of two people, Pan Chen has lost the dominance of his own work and rest, after thinking about it, he still decided to ask better.

After rubbing outside the bead curtain for a while, Li Shun lifted the bead curtain from inside and invited Pan Chen in.

"Something?" Qi Mozhou didn't raise his head and continued to struggle in the twists and turns, his brows were deeply locked, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, Pan Chen swallowed his saliva and hesitated to say it.

Qi Mozhou didn't wait for her to speak, put down the fold, frowned at her, and didn't speak, but this momentum was still very oppressive, as if Pan Chen didn't speak honestly, he was about to pounce and bite people, but Pan Chen saw from his eyes that he didn't show any signs of anger, but he just had a 'natural fierce' posture, he wasn't angry, Pan Chen was not afraid, plucked up his courage, and asked Qi Mozhou:

"How long will it take for the emperor? I...... Do you want...... Waiting for you to sleep with? ”

Qi Mozhou stared at her for a while, then returned his gaze to the fold, and waved his hand to Pan Chen, Pan Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed to Qi Mozhou, and then went out.

Li Shun was stunned for a while, and he hadn't recovered from the impact of the sentence 'waiting for you to sleep together', this lady really didn't take the usual path. To put it mildly, it's called 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers', but to put it bluntly, they don't have the guts. Which concubine in the palace would rush directly to the emperor and ask him this question? They all want to wait, because waiting is an opportunity, and if they don't wait, not only will they not have a chance, but they may also provoke the wrath of the saint.

After Pan Chen lifted the curtain and went out, Li Shun secretly wiped a cold sweat again.

After Pan Chen went out, he went to the bathroom to wash, after washing, wiped the incense and combed his hair, and then decisively climbed into bed, and was very considerate to leave half of the emperor, but unfortunately her thoughtfulness could not be sent out, Pan Chen slept not long after, he went back to the Taihe Palace, the moonset and the star frost came to report to Pan Chen, Pan Chen slept in a daze, and finally did not catch up with the time to send off the guests, and slept until dawn to learn the news.

Both Moonfall and Xingshuang guessed that the emperor must have annoyed Niangniang, so they left in the middle of the night, and they didn't say a word to Niangniang, Pan Chen was confused about what they said, and waved his hand to explain:

"I think you think too much, the emperor is not such a small person, as for him to leave without saying a word...... Who wants to leave in the middle of the night, and deliberately turns people out of the bed to sue sù? It's fine. ”

Moonfall and Xingshuang felt powerless against Pan Chen's heartlessness, and Xingshuang was older and felt the need to reason with his master:

"Mother, that's not what I said. It's rare for the emperor to come to our Roufu Palace, what a grace this is, the mother didn't seize this opportunity not to say, and let the emperor leave in the middle of the night with annoyance, this, this, this is too much. ”

Yueluo didn't dare to arrange Pan Chen, so she only echoed one sentence: "The slave also thinks that the mother should wait for the emperor to fall asleep together." ”

Pan Chen didn't know how to explain the worries of the two personal palace maids, she studied human psychology, a person was angry in front of her, she couldn't be wrong, so although she didn't have a complete understanding of Qi Mozhou, but according to her preliminary understanding, Qi Mozhou was definitely not a faint gentleman with a small amount of energy, when she went to ask for instructions yesterday, she saw that he frowned deeply, it must have been a problem with the fold, and it had nothing to do with her, besides, only the faint gentleman would be angry because the concubine didn't wait for him to sleep, which is obviously not true.
