Chapter 77: Swinging the Yongle Palace
After staying in Changchun Palace for almost two hours, Shenyue Cangting ordered someone to bring the cloak, but Concubine Xian stopped him and personally put the cloak on for him, "Your Majesty, the weather is cold at night, take care of the dragon's body." ”
Shenyue Cangting stood and asked her to tie the belt for him, "I haven't come to see you for many days, and I really don't want to leave like this, but ......"
Concubine Xian smiled softly and shook her head, "The emperor doesn't have to say anything, of course the concubine understands the emperor's suffering, and she naturally has all kinds of reluctance in her heart, and she will not make the emperor embarrassed." ”
Shenyue Cangting took her in his arms, "It is you who I like about you, only you can understand my thoughts." ”
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace." The eunuch outside the door reminded in a low voice.
Concubine Xian came out of his arms and stroked his clothes, "Your Majesty, go back." ”
"Hmm." Shenyue Cangting nodded, and then turned to look at Shenyue Haozhe, "Zhe'er, when your father is away, do you have to study hard and listen to the words of the Taifu and the mother concubine?" ”
"Well, Zhe'er knows." Shenyue Haozhe lowered his head a little disappointed, but still nodded sensibly.
Shenyue Cangting touched his head, then turned around and went out. The people in the hall sent him away, until his figure disappeared into the night, and Concubine Xian still stood in the doorway and looked in that direction. This is like saying goodbye to a husband who is out doing things, the difference is that he knows that this husband is so close to him, but he doesn't know when he will be able to see him again, so he can only look forward to it every day and night, looking at the empty door.
"Mother, go back, it's not good if you catch a cold." Biyun saw that Concubine Xian was still standing at the door for a long time, so she walked over and persuaded her.
Concubine Xian came back to her senses and smiled a little miserably, "Look at me, I'm distracted for a while." ”
Thinking about it, even if she is a considerate and dignified woman, even if she has experienced countless times of waiting and farewell like this, she will still feel sad, and I don't know how much of the emptiness of being alone in this palace is.
Shenyue Cangting walked out of Changchun Palace, sat on the imperial chariot, and went to the imperial study, followed by the attendants.
"Wu Yong."
"The minions are here! What does the emperor command? An old eunuch, who was almost fifty years old, stepped forward quickly.
"How's it going?"
"The emperor is talking about that little palace maid? The servant asked someone to check, but it was an innocent child, and he didn't see anything strange. ”
"I'm talking about something else." Shenyue Cangting shook his head.
"Oh, the emperor is talking about the one from Yonghua Palace, and the servants sent someone to check and didn't find anything wrong......"
"That's it, it's really useless to say that you Wu Yong!" Shenyue Cangting interrupted him a little irritably, "You better tell me the information that your little kid gave you in return." ”
"Yes! Minions deserve to die. Wu Yong bowed his head, "Xiao Wuzi said something about the situation, saying that a few days ago, the four princes always liked to hold a scarf to get into their minds, sometimes they were very cold, and sometimes they looked like they were in a good mood, which was very different from the usual coldness. ”
This little fifth son was trained by Wu Yong before he left the palace, and at this time, reporting the movements of Shenyue Haoqing from time to time was naturally a sign that Shenyue Cangting signaled Wu Yong to him.
"Oh?" Shenyue Cangting raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, do you think these four princes have a favorite woman? In this way, the emperor does not need to worry about those so-called rumors. ”
Shenyue Cangting sat on the imperial chariot and did not speak, and after a while, he suddenly spoke, "Drive Yonghua Palace." ”
"Your Majesty, this is ......" Wu Yong glanced at Shen Yue Cangting and understood what he meant, although he had doubts in his heart, he still sent someone to pass on the decree first, and the imperial driver changed his direction and went to Yongle Palace.
As soon as the imperial chariot entered the Yongle Palace, he went straight to the direction of the Yongle Palace. The people in the other palaces also heard the news that the emperor was driving the Yongle Palace, and most of them were full of joy waiting for the news of the emperor's arrival, but there was no sign of the emperor coming until the moon on the willow tops.
Yongle Hall received the order before the arrival of the Shenyue Court, so in the middle of the night, the whole hall was busy cleaning the palace, and specially lit expensive agarwood in the main hall, and when the Shenyue Cangting arrived, he went straight into the dormitory.
"The emperor is blessed!" The palace maids who were lighting the lamps in the hall saw the Shenyue Cangting coming in and saluted him.
"Stand down, you don't need to come here without my summons." Shenyue Cangting waved his hand to let them retreat, and the palace maids hurriedly retreated and closed the door.
After the door was closed, Shenyue Cangting walked to the front of the Hongluan tent, and through the gauze tent, he could vaguely see the figure of a person on the bed, and when he heard the footsteps of Shenyue Cangting approaching, the person on the bed moved slightly, "Your Majesty, the concubine can't salute you now, and the concubine is ......."
"No problem." Shenyue Cangting lifted the veil and walked in.
Before the emperor pampered a concubine, he would first send someone to give an order, then there would be a maid to serve the concubine to bathe herself, and then send it to the emperor's bedroom wrapped in a gold silk quilt, which was to prevent the concubine from carrying a weapon to assassinate the emperor. Because the Shenyue Cangting came directly, the wild goose did not need to be carried to the emperor's bedroom like a zongzi, but at this time, the wild goose was not very suitable to appear in front of others.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Luo Yan was covered with a thin silk scarf, and she was not wearing any clothes, and the silk scarf outlined her graceful body curves beautifully and movingly. Her face didn't know whether she was wearing makeup or being shy, she looked so charming and moving under the red luan tent, and after seeing Shenyue Cangting come in, she called out delicately and lowered her head shyly.
Shenyue Cangting approached and lifted the only fig leaf covering Luo Yan's body, Luo Yan was a little surprised, but soon stretched his limbs calmly for him to admire, but he still didn't look at him with a shy look on his face. Shenyue Cangting unabashedly looked at the spring geese on the bed with an appreciative eye, the skin of the wild goose was soft and delicate, the figure was plump and slender, the double peaks on the chest were full and straight, and the slender jade arms were intentionally or unintentionally covered in front of him.
When Luo Yan turned his head to look at him, the Divine Moon Cangting had already shed its coat. Although Shenyue Cangting is over forty years old, he is also a fierce general on the battlefield when he is young, and he will also ride a horse on weekdays, and his figure is still very good. Shenyue Cangting sat on the bed and took away Luo Yan's arm that was covering him, and looked down at her, still quietly looking at every inch of her skin as if admiring a work of art.
"Why does the emperor look at the concubine like this?" Luo Yan asked with a red face when she saw his gaze falling straight on her arm.
Shenyue Cangting smiled, "Such a beauty is placed in front of me, if I don't appreciate it, wouldn't it be too uninteresting?" ”
"The emperor doesn't want to laugh at the concubine, the beauty around the emperor is like a cloud, how can the concubine have such charm?" Luo Yanjiao smiled, her red lips outlining a charming curve.
"I said that you have you, especially the mark on the beauty's arm is beautiful and charming, and it is the first time I have seen such a detailed mark." Shenyue Cangting said and leaned down to look at the plum blossom mark on Luo Yan's arm, which was almost the same mark as Li Anyue's hand.
"Back to the emperor, this is the concubine's body since birth, and the concubine's body also feels a little magical at first, after all, it is such a lifelike imprint." Luo Yan glanced at the mark on his arm and said.
"Oh? Is the day of beauty's birth the fifteenth day of the first month? Shenyue Cangting thought for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Exactly, how did the emperor know?" Luo Yan asked with a red face, surprise in his tone. Shenyue Cangting kept stroking the plum blossom mark without speaking, and suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter even spread outside the dormitory.
Luo Yan waited for him to finish laughing suspiciously, "I don't know why the emperor is laughing?" ”
"Have you ever heard of a legend in my Tianyang Kingdom?"
"I don't know what the legend is?" Luo Yan asked with a wink, turned sideways, his head resting on his arms and looking at the Shenyue Cangting, his long hair slipping from his body and scattered behind him.
"This legend was handed down many years ago, and there is no record of when it happened, but there is such an event recorded in the Royal Library. Legend has it that almost every 100 years, there will be a fairy turned into mortal dust, instructing the king to assist the country, and creating the people of Li, this woman is enshrined as a goddess, and the goddess will be born on the fifteenth day of the first month, as a mark to identify the goddess is a red plum birthmark on the right arm. I don't know when this rumor has been circulating among the people, and it has been praised by the people, and there are even rumors: The one who wins the goddess of heaven wins the world. Shenyue Cangting looked at her after speaking, and his gaze fell on her arm again.
Luo Yan was a little surprised, and her jade fingers couldn't help covering her lips, "The concubine also asked the old man about this mark when she was young, and the old people said the same thing at that time, but the concubine thought it was just some words to coax the concubine, but she didn't expect it to be true." In this way, the concubine is ......"
"That's right, you're the goddess that God sent to me!" Shenyue Cangting put his hand on her cheek and looked at her.
"But the concubine is just a commoner, because she is lucky to be able to serve the emperor, how can she have the ability to become the goddess that the emperor said and assist the emperor." Luo Yan lowered his head as he spoke.
Shenyue Cangting raised her chin, "I said that you are a goddess, you are a goddess, and with you, I am the king designated by the heavens!" I will be able to reign over the world and create a dynasty that will be watched by all nations! ”
Luo Yan looked at him, "The emperor is already wise and martial, he is the respect of the Ninety-Five, of course, he is the king recognized by God, and the concubine also believes that the emperor will be able to make good fortune for the people, so that other countries around him will submit to the emperor." ”
Shenyue Cangting smiled with satisfaction, and pressed Luo Yan under him, "Then, I will make you my goddess tonight." ”
Luo Yanjiao smiled and climbed the neck of Shenyue Cangting with both hands, doing her best to cater to the Shenyue Haotian, under the gauze tent, a beautiful spring.
