Just after the hour, the Hanyang Palace is still pitch black, the sky is far away above the heavenly street, there are few morning stars, there are few people in the palace wall, and a round of ivory-yellow bright moon will sink. Outside the Longkang Palace, the west wind rolls the leaves, the cold smoke is accompanied by the withered grass, and the shadows of the mountains and rivers are lonely on the edge www.biquge.info of the bleak palace.

Although it was not yet dawn, Qu Jun had already packed up and was holding a pomegranate white fruit fragrant tea on a gold-painted lacquer plate and sending it to the dormitory.

Entering the dormitory, he passed through a fan-shaped flower cover door carved from rosewood and came to a blue gauze cabinet composed of twelve red bean wood partition doors in the corner of the inner hall.

This Bisha kitchen has four partition doors that can be opened freely, and the rest are fixed fans. On the outside of the four partition sashes opened, a gold curtain frame is installed, and the purple luan cui brocade curtain is rolled with fine beads.

When Qu Jun walked inside, he took a look at the queen sitting on the warm couch through the jade-colored flower yarn on the partition door. I saw her leaning on the soft satin backrest, one hand on her chest, and the other hand on the gold-painted rosewood kang table, with a serious and thoughtful expression.

"Hui Niangniang, this is the pomegranate ginkgo fragrant tea you asked for yesterday, with two new spoons of honey cheese." Qu Jun respectfully handed over the teacup.

The queen took the tea, but didn't drink it, but just put it on the kang table at hand: "You come to help the palace comb your hair, and you will go to the Xuande Hall to have dinner with the emperor in a while." ”

Today is the eighth day of the lunar month, according to the regulations of Hanyang Palace, the emperor and queen must have breakfast together today, and after using it, they will also reward a few dishes during the banquet to each palace, which is called "Lap Rixiang".

Of course, Qu Jun knew about this, and he had been prepared for this for a long time.

The queen favored Qu Jun, not only because he was clever and intelligent, but also because he was an expert at combing his hair. His combed hair always makes people feel refreshed.

The queen has entered middle age, and her hair is becoming thinner and thinner, so she cherishes the remaining green silk. As long as Qu Jun comes to comb her hair, the queen's hair falls very little, and sometimes even none of it falls, so as long as it is an important occasion, the queen will let Qu Jun comb her hair.

Qu Jun walked behind the queen and took out a comb with rhino horn engraved grass pattern from his sleeve, and the edges of the teeth were rounded. By combing your hair with this comb, even if you occasionally touch your scalp, it will never hurt and minimize damage to your hair.

Rao is like this, every time she combs her hair, the queen still loses her hair. In order to prevent the queen from finding out that her hair was falling, Qu Jun sprinkled some thick sugar water on his sleeve, and when he saw the queen lose her hair, he stuffed his hand into the cuff and dipped his fingers in sticky syrup.

In this way, all the broken hair was firmly glued to Qu Jun's hand, and he then stuffed the broken hair stuck to his hand into the cuffs indecisively when the queen was not paying attention, as if no hair had fallen out.

Today, Qu Jun combed the queen with a Danfeng Chaoyang bun, decorated with a pair of gold-dotted Cui Jingfu long hairpins, and a grand golden silk birdcage was inserted behind his head.

The queen looked left and right in the phoenix rank Fang Sheng mirror, very satisfied, pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Qu Jun watched from the side and knew that the queen was quite satisfied with today's hairstyle, so he took advantage of the hot iron and put on a gold collar with silk inlaid jade and double dragon playing beads.

The queen looked at it, nodded and said: "The weather is cold in the wax moon, and the decoration must be even more grand, and this collar is suitable for the occasion!" "Finished

glanced at Qu Jun, "This matter is well done, this palace remembers, I will reward you when I come back from dinner!" ”

Just after the hour, the queen took the phoenix chariot and the palace maids to the Xuande Hall with the brocade box.

The queen was dressed in vermilion, twisted gold, embroidered with five blessings, holding the longevity pattern, the leader inlaid with fire fox skin, Song Jin soft fur, the eyebrows were painted in the distant mountains, and the lips were half delicate, and she was surrounded by everyone and entered the main hall. The chamberlain on duty came to report that the emperor did not arrive at Xuande Palace last night.

The queen frowned slightly after hearing this: "Send Liu Fuquan over." ”

After a while, Liu Fuquan was sweating profusely and ran up to the hall panting.

"Where did the emperor rest last night?" The Empress asked lightly.

"The emperor rested in Changxin Palace last night." Liu Fuquan answered honestly.

"The emperor rests alone?"

"Last night, the concubine accompanied me."

"Oh," said the Queen, whose expression froze for a moment. I haven't seen him for dozens of days, the emperor returned to the palace overnight, and the first person he wanted to see was the concubine?

"Concubine Yi has been summoned for the first time, can she wait outside the Longkang Palace to reply?" The queen tried her best to control her tone and not let the sourness in her heart leak out.

"Back to the queen, the concubine's underwear was torn. The palace maid of the Qiao Hall sent a new one, which is being replaced in the Changxin Palace. ”

"The emperor is already on his way to Xuande Palace?"

"Back to my mother, not yet. The emperor's underwear...... It's also torn and being replaced. ”

"Smack", the queen raised her hand and patted a few cases, "You old slaves, how do you serve the emperor, don't you know if your clothes are torn?" ”

Liu Fuquan knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Last night, the emperor had an edict, and no one was allowed to enter Changxin Palace without a summons." Today, the emperor has just woken up, so ......"

"The emperor is going to winter hunt with the children of the clan this afternoon, can I send all the items?" The queen paused, then asked.

"The emperor got up early and decreed, he was sleepy today, and he would hunt in winter three days later."

The queen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Since the emperor is sleepy, Larixiang will withdraw." ”

Liu Fuquan hurriedly said next to him: "The emperor just ordered the old slave to come over and tell the queen mother. He will be there in a moment, please be quiet. ”

When the queen heard this, her expression softened, and she said to the left and right, "Put all kinds of food in the steamer." After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered Liu Fuquan to go down.

Just as Zhao Yuan promised, he soon rushed to Xuande Palace. Today, he wore a royal blue silk robe with four golden dragons inlaid with broken beads and silver fox skin, which made him look even more clean and heroic.

During the meal, the queen sensed that Zhao Yuan was a little absent-minded, so she looked up at him.

Seeing that although he tried his best to hide it, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows still carried a lingering spring, and there was always a smile on the corners of his lips.

The queen sighed in her heart, and she asked Zhao Yuan softly, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Zhao Yuan was tasting a bowl of cherry meat stewed in evergreen wine, and said "um" absentmindedly.

The queen asked again: "The concubine went to bed last night, and her behavior is correct?" ”

Zhao Yuan said "um" again.

The queen stopped talking, but just looked at Zhao Yuan, who was eating in front of her, and had mixed feelings in her heart. She sighed to herself: "Men really don't look old, the emperor's body is still the same as when he was young, and even stronger than when he was young." ”

"Although Zhao Yuan has been stationed at the border gate outside the Saiwai for many years, he comes in the wind and sand, and goes in the wind and sand. He also led the army to climb the ice and lie in the snow, and in the middle of winter, he climbed over the snowy mountains and took a shortcut to attack the enemy. After becoming the emperor, he couldn't stop worrying about things every day. Even after going through all these piles, he didn't see much wind and frost on his face. ”

"Still talented, still heroic, and fatally attractive to all women."
