47.Chapter 47
Destroy? Why ruin? After the emperor was stunned for a while, he decisively skipped this question and announced with a particularly kind smile: "Today's leader is the tenth mother of the Su family. He swept the group of young men sitting on the left side with special ill intentions, "You boasted before, you will definitely win." ”
The young gentlemen are busy looking at beauties, appreciating paintings, and reading poems, and they don't have time to look at you, Your Majesty!
Hearing the emperor teasing them, he was cheeky and smiled and arched his hand, "Is it normal for us to lose to Mrs. Lu's granddaughter." "Didn't you see that Mrs. Lu's most proud grandson all admitted defeat, and besides, if you lose to such a beautiful little lady, are you willing to lose?
There are also tempting thoughts, it seems that the ten ladies of the Su family have no marriage contract, go home and discuss with their parents, and immediately ask the official media to come to the door to propose marriage.
The prince also secretly thought that he wanted to take all the paintings of Shi Niang back to the East Palace and hide them, and hang them in his bedroom, so that he could see them every day.
Hum! Unpromising! The emperor glanced at the young men and asked Su Yan with a smile, "I said before, today's leader can ask me for one thing. Shi Niang has nothing to ask for, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Su Yan watched his painting being quickly put away by the palace people, and knew that there was no hope for what had been destroyed. She tilted her head slightly and thought about it, "I just heard that one of the musicians has Xiao who blows very well, I don't know if the saint is willing to cut love?" ”
No one would have thought that she would make such a request? Su Rong felt a special pity, and couldn't help but look at the fourth uncle, but saw the fourth uncle looking at his daughter with doting, without a trace of surprise, as if he had known that she would be like this.
The emperor was also very surprised, and he was a little reluctant, and deliberately asked again: "It's just a musician, Shi Niang will take it back if she likes it." What more could you want besides this? "Even if you want a few pots of precious chrysanthemums, it's the first time that the emperor is so eager to give people good things.
"Then add the wine I just drank." Su Yan smiled very sweetly, but it made Concubine De's heart sink. She asked people to change the wine for Su Yan, although she didn't drug anything (it's really not easy to drug in the palace). But the wine she took was not the wine that the ladies in the palace would use when they feasted, and if you put it together, the emperor would definitely know her intentions.
The emperor laughed, "It's really the granddaughter of the gentleman, and it is really similar to the gentleman's preferences, I am right." "Lu Taifu also likes the fine wine in the palace, and often comes to blackmail him, thinking of this, the emperor feels distressed.
After the flower-viewing feast, the emperor really sent ten jars of aged wine to Su Yan, and along with the wine, there were all kinds of silk, jewelry, and eight pots of precious chrysanthemums.
Su Yan's trip to the palace can be regarded as a full return, but Su Zhoucheng was so worried that he wanted to pull his hair. But when he saw the emperor's eyes, he must not have been at ease. No, he had to talk to the teacher.
Good night, Su Yan asked people to take the wine given by the palace, and poured two glasses with a smile, one for himself and one in front of Xiaobai. Xiao Bai tilted his head, looked at the wine glass curiously, and then looked up at Su Yan. Seeing her raise her glass and sip slowly, her smile was full of stars, so she followed her example and stretched out her mouth to drink the wine in the glass.
"Well, the ten years of aging are good, the entrance is sweet, and the aftertaste is long." Su Yan smiled meaningfully.
Xiaobai didn't understand this, it just thought it was good, and it still wanted to drink it after drinking, and when the wine glass bottomed out and it couldn't drink anymore, it stretched out its head and rubbed Su Yan's little face coquettishly, and when she saw that she didn't finish, she rubbed it again, and her mouth was still flattering.
Su Yan reached out and touched its head, smiled and poured it another glass. That's it, you have a cup, I have a cup, and Xiaobai shared a pot of wine cleanly, she leaned back in the chair with a lazy expression, and smiled at Xiaobai drawing circles on the table.
Xiaobai's eyes were half-closed and half-closed, his claws couldn't support his body, and he even used his wings, but he still stood crookedly, barely finding Su Yan's position, shouting at her as before, saying goodnight, and then falling crooked on the table and falling asleep.
"Shi Niang, it's late at night." Qingyun said softly.
Su Yan covered her lips and yawned cutely, and ordered, "Send Xiaobai back to its nest and watch it at night." He also went to bed, got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.
It was late at night, but the emperor of Taiji Palace had not yet slept, he was wearing a bed, leaning on the dragon bed, holding a scroll in his hand, and slowly flipping through it.
"Sage, only the wine drunk by the ten ladies of the Su family at today's banquet is old." A eunuch with a very ordinary face stood on the edge of the dragon bed in a low voice to report on today's flower appreciation banquet.
The emperor laughed out loud, "Concubine De wanted to make Su Shi Niang drunk and ugly, but she didn't expect it to fulfill her, right?" Concubine De's move is not stupid, but when she met the little wine fairy taught by the wine fairy, she completely miscalculated. ”
"You say, Concubine De has so many eyes, and I am also smart, why is Xin'an's girl so stupid? Who is she like? The Emperor said to himself.
The eunuch next to him hung his head and did not make a sound.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't dwell too much on this issue, and just went over after mentioning it, and then asked about the flower banquet," he continued. ”
"Most of the noble ladies who came today have six blessings in their skirts and mop the floor for more than five inches. The little ladies of the Duan family, the Du family, and the Li family have eight blessings in their skirts, and the intercolored skirts of Duan Sanniang are as many as ten broken. There are only ten ladies of the Su family, and the skirt is no more than three blessings, and there is more than an inch to the ground......"
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly asked, "Su Shi Niang is like this on weekdays, or did she dress up like this when she entered the palace today." ”
The eunuch obviously knew about these little ladies, and without thinking about it, he replied, "It's the same on weekdays." ”
The Emperor nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "Rare ......"
The eunuch and his subordinates had obviously observed some of the girls at the flower feast, not only their dress, but also their speech and demeanor. "Duan Sanniang and Zhu Erniang occasionally had disputes about talent and morality; The three ladies of the Zhao Yushi family have a noble temperament; The five ladies of the Du family met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by chance, and when they left, there seemed to be tears on their faces......"
"Wang Jia, you say, who of these little ladies is more suitable to be the crown princess?" The emperor asked on a whim.
A cold sweat broke out on Wang Jia's body, and his head hung lower, "Sage, this is not what the old slave should say. ”
"Alas, you're just too honest, let's talk in private." The Emperor waved his hand easily.
Wang Jia naturally refused to say much, and if the emperor asked again, he would pretend to be dead. In the end, the emperor lost interest and waved him down. When Wang Jia came out of the dormitory, he shook his hands and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Jia Xi and Jia Le were guarding the door of the dormitory, watching Wang Jia come out, the two glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, silently listening to the movements in the dormitory.
"Come on, go and pass the concubine to accompany you." The emperor suddenly spoke in the house, Jia Xi hurriedly brought it in, and Jia Le naturally went to the palace of the concubine to deliver the decree.
The concubine Du Shi had already fallen asleep, and suddenly received the order, which was a little strange, she asked the female officer close to her while dressing up, "Okay, why do you recruit the palace in the middle of the night?" ”
"The saint must be missing his mother." The palace maid said good things.
The concubine naturally likes to hear this, she glared at the palace maid coquettishly, "You know a lot." At that time, both of them knew that in this deep palace, the most unexpectedly important thing was the emperor's love. For example, these palace concubines are looking forward to the emperor's favor, but they dare not rely on the emperor's favor. Family and children are the foundation for them to gain a firm foothold in the palace.
The concubine touched her belly, and suddenly felt a little excited, "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have not had a son and a half daughter." ”
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several princesses."
"Huh." The concubine smiled bitterly. She entered the palace that day, she was the concubine, the head of the four concubines, and the harem was only under the queen. What did she think at that time, to win the favor of the saint, to give birth to a son, and to wait for her sister to die. After so many years, I woke up from all my dreams.
On her deathbed, her sister said that she begged the saint to take her into the palace so that she could take care of the young prince. However, the crown prince has a saint to take care of him personally, and the time he has been in her palace for so many years is limited. In the future, the saint will go west and the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and she will have no children as a concubine, I am afraid that there is only one way to become a monk.
Seeing the concubine like this, the palace maid didn't dare to laugh anymore, her hand movements accelerated, and she quickly dressed the concubine like a flower, and then helped her out of the car and went in the direction of the Taiji Palace.
"What? The saint recruited a concubine? Concubine De leaned on the bed and never slept. Su Yan's smile in the hall kept appearing in her mind, and she kept asking herself, did Su Yan's girl deliberately mention wine in front of the saint, did she know something?
When she heard the news, she immediately sat up straight, "It's so late, what's the matter?" The more she thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, Concubine De felt that she was a little angry today and acted too hastily.
"If I go to recruit a doctor tomorrow, I will say that the palace is uncomfortable." At this time, she was still sick and hiding.
The second morning, the weather was excellent, the autumn was crisp, the emperor got up early in the morning and heard that Concubine De was sick, and said with a faint smile: "Since you are sick, take care of it." He said to the concubine again: "Siniang's girl will be handed over to you, and the person who is about to get married should also be taken care of and learn how to be a daughter-in-law." ”
The concubine who was waiting for him to dress hurriedly responded, "Yes, the concubine will definitely teach Siniang well." "Last night, the emperor summoned her, and he made it clear that he wanted her to teach Princess Xin'an for a while. As one of the four concubines, of course she also knew about the incident at yesterday's banquet. It's just that Su Shi Niang is too outstanding, and it's good for someone to press her.
To tell the truth, the concubine would rather Zhu Erniang be the crown princess than the emperor choose Su Shiniang. Su Siniang's complexion is too dazzling, and other women standing beside her will become a foil. If the prince marries her, how can he still see others in his eyes? But after yesterday's incident, the emperor obviously changed his mind a little, otherwise he would not have asked her to teach Princess Xin'an today. This did not bode well, and she had to discuss it with her parents and brothers.
