Chapter 003: Cracked Silk is Pleasant
In the past ten days, Helian Ding came to see her five times. After carefully inquiring about Fang Yao, she knew that what she did every day was to draw chrysanthemums, put paper kites, and read scripts. He seemed to be very satisfied, didn't worry too much, and just told Fang Yao to take care of it.
In recent days, he seems to be very busy, coming and going every time, and she is happy not to be disturbed. He came to visit, and he was courteous to her, and did not offend her. In this regard, she was still a little grateful in her heart, he did not use his status as the lord of the country to force her.
Although he was extremely gentle and carefully concealed the anger on his body, she still couldn't accept the fact that he was her husband, and even the title of promoting her to the concubine was politely rejected by her. Helian Ding originally referred to her with the title of "Concubine Chen", ranking first among the four concubines.
She said: "Chen, it is where the North Star is located, and it is also the name of the emperor. The concubine is weak and has not built an inch, how can He De be at the head of the four concubines? Since the concubine's name is Yuehua, 'bright as the moon, Qinghua as Xu'. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the word 'Qing' as the title of the concubine? ”
Helian Ding pondered for a moment, nodded and praised: "Using the word 'Chen' as your title originally meant excellence, you don't have to care." However, you have a point. The moon is beautiful and beautiful, and no one can match it. The word 'Qing' is indeed more suitable for Yue'er. In this way, I withdrew the title of Chenzi. In the future, Yue'er will be my concubine. I will choose an auspicious day, and I will give you the title of concubine. ”
She replied detachedly and coldly: "The king can have a concubine in his heart, and the concubine is not in a hurry when it comes to Jinfeng." ”
Helian Ding smiled slightly: "Yue'er is not in a hurry, I am very anxious." I have long wanted to tell the world that since Concubine Qing gave birth to a prince for me, she is now in good health and deserves to share the honor with her. You and she are husband and wife, and they should share weal and woe. With that, Helian Ding reached out to take her hand.
When she saw his hand stretched out, she was suddenly startled and broke free without leaving a trace. Then he stood up and took a jade cup, which was filled with brown decoction and steamed.
She smiled shallowly: "Just now, the king said that he wants to share the honor with his concubine. Should the king also share the pain of the concubine's body? Why is it that the concubine drinks this bitter decoction every day, while the king just watches idly? ”
Helian tilted his body, leaned on the cushion, his eyes flashed, and he looked up and smiled: "Yue'er, what's so difficult about this?" He reached out and took the jade cup and took a big sip. With a stretch of his long arm, he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his lips against hers, pried open her teeth, and gave her the potion in his mouth.
Fang Yao, who was standing on the side, was dumbfounded, at this moment, this man with a happy and narrow expression was the king of Xia, who was extremely ruthless and ruthless in the palace mouth, and was known as the "God of Killing"?
She was so shocked that she couldn't dodge it, and was forced to drink the potion, looking embarrassed and at a loss. The initiator smiled at this moment: "Aren't you blaming me for not sharing weal and sorrow with you?" Did I disappoint Yue'er? Do you want to come again? ”
She waved her hand again and again, choked on the decoction in her throat, coughed incessantly, her face flushed, and her eyes forced tears into her eyes. Helian stepped forward and stroked her back, helping her to calm her down one by one.
When she came to her senses, she gritted her teeth and drank the potion under the threat of his razor-sharp eyes. After a while, she came up tired, covered her lips and yawned, her eyes glazed over.
Helian Ding stepped forward and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Yue'er, go to sleep when you are sleepy." It won't take long for you to regain your memory. At that time, Yue'er will be able to know how loving we are, and she will be able to accept the fact that I am your husband one day later. ”
In the haze, she fell into a cold, solid embrace, and she couldn't hear what he seemed to say, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, in the crystal curtain, she immersed herself in splashing ink to paint, Fang Yao held the Pisces jade wash in her hand, and couldn't help but nag two sentences: "Niangniang, the emperor actually gave Niangniang the title of 'Concubine Chen', what a great honor is this?" Why didn't the mother refuse? ”
She didn't raise her head, continued to wave the ink, and said leisurely: "Don't you know the way, the higher you hold, the heavier you fall?" - Fang Yao, what do you think of my chrysanthemum painting? ”
Fang Yao looked over, "Niangniang's painting is getting more and more profitable." After pausing for a moment, he said carefully: "Fang Yao thinks that these chrysanthemums are beautiful, but they are too monotonous, and so many chrysanthemum pictures are one variety." ”
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and the tips of her eyebrows were slightly raised, "Chrysanthemum pictures are all one variety, this is because I will only draw this kind of chrysanthemum." As she spoke, she took out the Xuantie token from her sleeve and showed it to Fang Yao, "I painted it according to this, and besides, I am only willing to draw this kind of chrysanthemum." It's beautiful, and when I painted it, for some reason my heart was at ease. ”
"The happiness of the mother is the blessing of the slaves."
Fang Yao smiled, suddenly thought of something, and continued: "I don't know if there is such a pattern of silk in the palace treasury." I want such a beautiful pattern, and the mother likes it so much, if there is such a color of silk, make a few clothes, the mother must look good on your body. ”
"Weave this chrysanthemum pattern on your clothes and wear it on your body?" She muttered to herself, her heart shook, she looked up and was stunned, and a drop of ink dropped on the snow-white paper, quickly blurring.
She nodded, put down her paintbrush, tore the paper on the case, and ordered with some urgency: "Okay, you immediately order someone to go to the Shaofu Prison to procure it...... Take the ** case I drew and make a show for them. Remember, you must buy silk with this pattern, and the other patterns are not accepted by the main palace. ”
Fang Yao nodded, bowed and retired, and went to the Shaofu Prison to take care of it in person.
When Fang Yao returned to Xiyan Hall from the Shaofu Prison, she was stunned by the scene in front of her, and quietly instructed the palace maid to invite Helian Ding, while kneeling down and kowtowing again and again, begging in a wailing voice: "Niangniang, what are you doing?" Why do you want this good silk, you let people tear it? ”
She didn't seem to hear Fang Yao's plea, she sat with snow-white fox fur under her, her eyes fixed on the silk fragments all over the ground, her mind wandering, and her thoughts were far away.
Helian Ding rushed to the Xiyan Hall when he heard the news, and saw her reclining on the couch. He walked over quickly, sat down beside her, put his hand on her fragrant shoulder, and reproached: "Why don't you wear a robe, what should I do if I catch a cold?" ”
Following his hand, she slowly sat up and said leisurely: "None of the outer robes on the concubine's body can enter the eyes of the concubine's body. The concubine is about to be promoted to a Qing concubine, and she should also make a few good-looking clothes. Besides, the sound of these silk tearing is really good. Listen, Lord, is it more pleasant than the sound of the bell chime and bamboo played by the musician? ”
The palace maids were ordered to tear the silk harder, and the sound of cracking silk in the hall came and went. Helian Ding's solid arms wrapped around her, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Concubine Ai likes the sound of silk tearing, but everything is liked by Yue'er." ”
He waved his hand and instructed the palace people: "Go and move all the silk silks hidden in the treasury to the Xiyan Palace for the Qing concubine to use for fun." If there are not many collections in the treasury, he ordered someone to go to the Song Kingdom in the south to purchase a large number of them, and the patterns and patterns on it would be done according to the wishes of the Qing concubine. ”
She smiled charmingly, stroked her scattered silver hair, and waved her hand lazily: "Your Majesty, I am also a little tired, so let's stop here today." It is said in the book that the sister Xi around Xia Wei and the praise Xi around King Zhou You like to listen to the sound of the cracked silk. Now, the king's indulgence of concubines, isn't he afraid of being called a faint king? ”
Helian Ding's fingers swept across her eyebrows, and Ha Luha smiled: "I connived at my beloved concubine to tear a few silks, and then I became a faint king?" I have been fighting for many years, and I have made great achievements, although I have not dominated the world, and I am considered rich all over the world, but can't I exchange a few silk horses for my women? You are depressed and sad, your health is not good, it was all my negligence before, and you will never be again. As long as Yue'er smiles heartily and her body is refreshed, even if she lifts a beacon fire, it is okay. ”
She smiled even more: "Your Majesty, what you said is true?" ”
Helian nodded fixedly, his hand a little dishonest, wanting to caress her cheek.
She reacted very quickly, took his hand, looked at his eyes, and said seriously: "I read the book before, and I saw King Zhou You smiling for the Pomeranian, and the princes of the beacon fire. The concubine thought that there is such a person in the world, who loves beauty but not the country. Although Bao Xi is famous, she should be content with the king who treats her like this. If you can't live for a hundred years, you might as well leave a stench for 10,000 years, and life will be splendid. If someone fights for me, it really shows that they love me and pity me to the bone, and I will not come to the world in vain. ”
Helian Ding shrugged his eyebrows, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "What's so difficult about this? You don't have to look for anyone else, I already love you to the core. The beacon tower is not far from Pingliang, and on the day of your promotion, this king is my Yuehua, raising a beacon fire to show my sincerity. ”
