Chapter 122: Five Stars Out of the East
Holding Xiao Ziyingming's bamboo tube Zihao pen and dipped a little Xuezhai treasure ink on the lotus fish cinnabar mud inkstone, Yunyang gently added a stroke to the painting "Rose Huanhu Jade Scratching Head". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After drawing this stroke, Yunyang took a closer look and shook his head gently. She felt that although this painting looked empty and elegant, and the colors were sparse and gentle, she always felt that her bones were insufficient and lacking some heaviness after looking at it several times.
Yunyang raised his pen again and made a few strokes on the drawing. As I was painting, I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of pine and cypress, which came faintly with the temperature of my body. The smell was so familiar that it easily stirred her mind and made her heart pound faster.
Before Yunyang could turn his head, Zhao Yuan, who was already standing behind her at some point, opened his arms and wrapped her in his arms. When Sui Xuan and Yu Lu, who were waiting in the inner hall, saw this scene, they all bowed their heads and retreated silently.
Yun Yang had a smile on his lips, and wanted to break free from Zhao Yuan's arms to salute the emperor, but he couldn't break free after trying a few times. I had to say helplessly: "Shouldn't the emperor be in the Xuande Palace?" How do you have the kung fu to get here? In the afternoon, I have to discuss with hundreds of officials, and at noon, what are you doing here on such a cold day? ”
Zhao Yuan rubbed his chin against the soft broken hair on her sideburns, and said with a somewhat confused look: "It's because it's cold that I want to come to you to beg for hot pot to eat!" Even if you've eaten it, you'll have to eat it again with me! ”
Yunyang smiled "poof", turned his head slightly, and rubbed his cheek with his forehead: "It's a coincidence that I didn't eat either, let's use it together, but the dishes in Qiao Palace are few, less than half of the Xuande Palace, don't dislike it." ”
Zhao Yuan was greedily breathing in her rich aroma, and said a little vaguely, "What does it matter?" You're ...... Wouldn't it be better? ”
Yunyang bit his lip and pushed Zhao Yuan's arm hard: "If the emperor doesn't let go of me, how can I tell the palace people to prepare, I'm afraid that if this continues, the emperor will go to the Xuande Hall on an empty stomach to discuss with the hundred officials." ”
Zhao Yuan didn't listen to her, but hugged her tighter, so tight that Yunyang was almost out of breath. Then Zhao Yuan buried his head and kissed her deeply in the neck socket, and then let go of her.
Yun Yang hurriedly jumped away, stayed away from Zhao Yuan, calmed down the messy mood for a while, and then walked to the outer hall and ordered the palace people to prepare lunch.
After the order was finished, Yunyang took the tribute tea "plum blossom piece" held in the black glaze Yao transformation building lamp, turned around and lifted the soft curtain of the red ground Sihe Ruyi pattern Tianhua brocade and returned to the inner hall.
At this time, Zhao Yuan had already taken off a pair of black rhinoceros leather platform boots, and was only wearing a pair of plain longevity pattern brocade socks sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed, although his body was casually reclining on the cushion, his expression was indescribably silent and solemn.
Yun Yang "chuckled" in his heart, this kind of look is rarely seen on Zhao Yuan's face, I don't know what happened in the previous dynasty, which can make Zhao Yuan, who has always been moody, so worried?
She gently placed the black glaze Yao Transformation Building Lamp in front of Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yunyang's eyes like autumn pools after the rain, his heart softened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile shallowly.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan finally had a smiling face, Yunyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there anything worrying about you, why are you so sullen?" ”
At this time, the expression on Zhao Yuan's face was indescribably casual and relaxed, he stretched his shoulders and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the drought in the south has worsened a bit, and there has been a snow disaster in Taiyuan Mansion again, and we have been discussing disaster relief all morning." ”
The ministers had their own arguments and argued for several hours, but they could not come up with a clear idea. I also have a headache, so I will come to see the beauty in my spare time, and I will go to the Xuande Hall later. ”
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and said in a brisk tone: "This morning, the heavenly official of the Qin Heavenly Prison came to report that he had observed the 'Five Stars out of the East' last night. ”
"I have always been unimpressed with things like celestial statues and qi numbers, but this time when I listened to this heavenly official's report, my expression was really excited, as if it was some kind of terrible celestial phenomenon, does Concubine Ai know this?"
Yun Yang smiled after hearing this: "The concubine happens to have a star map here, and the emperor is invited to take a look." So saying, she walked to the bookshelf in the hall, took down a yellowed silk book, opened it and laid it on the bookcase.
"Your Majesty, please look," Yun Yang pointed to the star map and said, "The five stars refer to Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yingfu and Zhenxing." The accumulation of five stars in the east means that these five stars appear in the east at the same time before sunrise for a period of time. ”
"This kind of celestial phenomenon is very rare, and so far, there are only a few times for which there are historical records. Now I can appear in the country of Daqi, congratulations to the emperor, this is a good omen, and the four seas will be safe, and the country will be prosperous. ”
Zhao Yuan's attention did not stop at the star map at this time, he sat cross-legged, one hand on his knees, his eyes squinted slightly as he looked at Yunyang wearing a thin regular clothes, lying on the desk to show him the map, the curve of the slender waist and hips looming, very sultry.
This back of hers evokes many vivid and charming memories of Zhao Yuan. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up, and he let out a long breath.
At this time, Yi Fangzhai had already prepared lunch, and several big palace maids took brocade boxes in and out of the ground and set up a table.
Yunyang looked at the dishes on the table, and said secretly in his heart: "The preparation is not bad." "It turned out that when Yunyang ordered the preparation of the meal just now, he specifically mentioned that he should add more hot pots and meat dishes, but I didn't expect Yifangzhai to do it quickly and well.
On the table are bird's nest pine nut chicken hot pot, fat chicken hot cabbage, lamb tripe shredded mutton hot pot, mushroom fat chicken hot pot, mushroom salt fried meat, paste pork, steamed duck and deer tail. The staple foods include bamboo roll buns, spoon red cake, snail lion buns, chicken stuffed hot noodles, old rice dry meal, deer tendon and apple soft belly. There are also two kinds of soup - duck soup with lotus seeds and pheasant soup with yam and pheasant.
Zhao Yuan and Yunyang sat side by side at the dining table, and before they could move their chopsticks, Zhao Yuan waved his hand to Sui Su and Yinlu, who were waiting next to him, and asked them to retreat.
After the maid stepped back, Zhao Yuan personally served a bowl of hot bird's nest pine nut chicken soup and handed it to Yunyang. Yunyang was very frightened and hurriedly stood up and saluted and said: "The concubines should serve the emperor for dinner, how can the emperor let the emperor personally prepare the dishes and please cure the crime of disrespect of the concubines." ”
Zhao Yuan grabbed her hand and pulled her back to her seat: "How can there be so many false courtesies, when I was outside the palace with you a while ago, I also had many meals, not all of them." Why did you go back to the palace, and get along day and night. ”
Yunyang thought that this was really the case, lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, and sat down obediently.
Zhao Yuan's appetite was not bad for this meal, and he even ate a few bowls of lamb tripe shredded mutton soup, but he was very silent during the meal, and inadvertently exuded a worried taste.
Yun Yang watched from the sidelines and was very worried, and blurted out: "Is something happening in the court?" Provoke the emperor so worried? ”
