Chapter 12: The Palace
The other side
In a palatial palace in the center of the capital, a man in a dragon robe shows his noble status, and his face is like a carving, and his facial features are like carvings, sitting at a desk, his brows are furrowed, and his knuckles are holding a book of folds and reading.

That's right, this is the emperor of the Feng Dynasty who is loved by the people today, Feng Xuan, who has been in power for eight years, has been diligent in political affairs, virtuous and respectful, and is a diligent and loving monarch.
After careful observation, I found that this was the man standing under the peach blossom tree at that time, but there was less dignity and more peace at that time.
The candle flame flickered slightly, the room was quiet and a little deserted, Feng Xuan picked up the red pen and wrote a "quasi" on the fold, then put down the pen, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes and called:
"Zhou Dequan"
Zhou Dequan, who had been waiting outside, heard the voice and hurriedly walked in.
"Your Majesty," Zhou Dequan said respectfully.
"What time is it?" Feng Xuan's low, mature voice came out.
"Back to the emperor, it's been a moment, and the people in the worship room are already waiting outside, whether to summon or not." Zhou Dequan said cautiously.
"Hmm." Still a bland tone.
"Huh" Zhou Dequan walked out and called people in.
Feng Xuan looked at the plate held up in the little eunuch's hand, which contained the green head card of the harem concubine, thinking about what the secret guard reported today, his eyes darkened, and he picked up the brand of the concubine.
"Drive the Yonghe Palace!" A shrill voice sounded outside the Heart Cultivation Hall.
Walking on the road, I saw the yellow lantern shaking at the gate of Yonghe Palace from a distance, especially obvious in the darkness, a woman stood there dignified, graceful, and extremely beautiful.
This is the concubine of one of the four concubines, who is usually favored by the emperor, and has a bit of a favorite concubine.
When Concubine Shu saw the emperor coming, she bowed forward gently.
Feng Xuan quickly stepped forward to help Concubine Shu and said dotingly: "Concubine Ai, why are you waiting at the tuyere, what should I do if I catch a cold?" ”
Concubine Shu's delicate face made people fall in love under the faint yellow light, and said gently: "The concubine is not cold, isn't it possible to see the emperor earlier." After speaking, he lowered his head and looked shy.
Feng Xuan looked at the tender white and red neck, and seemed to pull up Concubine Shu and walked in with a moving face.
The two people who walked in, Concubine Shu skillfully served the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, the concubine's small kitchen has been stewing lotus seed porridge, the emperor is hungry so late, why don't you serve a bowl of it." ”
"Well, that's fine." Feng Xuan took off his robe and sat down on the soft floor in reply.
Concubine Shu handed the robe to the maid, and ordered the bowl of soup to come up, then walked to the side of Feng Xuan, and sat there softly to help the emperor massage.
"Aifei, what have you done today?" Feng Xuan said casually with his eyes closed comfortably.
Concubine Shu's hand paused for a moment, and then quickly regained her gentleness and said: "What can the concubine do, can't just write, make a purse for the emperor, and wait for the king to come." ”
"Oh? How do you feel that Concubine Ai is blaming me? Feng Xuan said in a somewhat joking tone.
"How dare the concubines, the emperor has every opportunity and worries about state affairs, and the concubines are just worried about the emperor's body." Concubine Shu is worthy of being an old man in the palace, and she speaks one by one.
"Then I heard that Shen Cairen was given a red by you, what's the matter?" Feng Xuan still said in a flat tone, feeling that being beaten to death was not like his own concubine.
Concubine Shu lowered her head and her eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness, and immediately turned into Qiu Bo, who I saw pity, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it turns out that I came to ask the concubine about the crime today, not to see the concubine, the concubine just dealt with a person who committed the following crimes, and the emperor will not forgive, so if all the low-ranking concubines bully the concubines, will they have to swallow their anger and cry alone." ”
After speaking, Concubine Shu also picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the insincere tears from the corner of her eyes.
Feng Xuan let Concubine Shu's trick finish before speaking.
"Okay, okay, get up, it's all Qi'er's mother, and it's like a child, if it's punished, it's punished, I don't blame you." Feng Xuan said helplessly with a doting face.
Concubine Shu was also pretending, and she took advantage of the situation to hold the emperor's hand delicately and weakly.
Feng Xuan didn't speak, and at this time, the maid also brought lotus seed soup, and Concubine Shu personally served it to serve the emperor.
After using it, Concubine Shu said, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, go to bed peacefully." ”
"Hmm"
Late at night, Feng Xuan, who was lying on the bed, looked at the upright concubine sleeping on the side, with a quiet and tranquil face, which made people feel so harmless and pure, but ............
Feng Xuan's eyes flashed with disgust and helplessness, and he thought about it until morning.
In the morning, Concubine Shu got up and waited for the emperor to leave.
Looking at the emperor who was leaving, Concubine Shu's gentle face suddenly sank, and she called her eldest maid and said, "Yiling, did you clean up yesterday?" Nothing left. ”
Yiling looked at his mother's vicious eyes, and hurriedly said: "It's all dealt with, everyone thinks that it was a small talented person who offended Niangniang, and there was such a result, no one doubted it." ”
"That's good......... However, why did the emperor ask so much yesterday......... Is it testing yourself? Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yi Ling's answer, and muttered to herself.
…………………………
is different from the 'guess I guess' here, Lan Ruo also saw his second brother when he saw Wan Xinyu sitting at the dinner table, with that surprised expression, and he could put an egg in his mouth.
But he couldn't show anything yet, and the aggrieved expression on his face made Lan Ruo very funny.
Maybe it was because he saw himself snickering, Lan Hongwen knew that he was the one who made trouble, and his eyes stabbed at him fiercely.
Lan Ruo also knew that the second brother would not treat himself well, so he unscrupulously helped Wan Xinyu with vegetables, took care of them, and praised himself as a master in front of his father.
"Daddy, Master Wan taught me very well, and my daughter's stupid temperament can make her teach her alive, it's really amazing."
"Really? Then our family should thank Miss Wan a lot, and to be praised by my daughter, it means that Miss Wan's piano skills have been superb. Father Lan also said with an appreciative face after hearing this.
Wan Xinyu hurriedly said: "How can it be as good as Sister Yi'er said, it is also the result of her diligence and hard work, I can never afford to be so praised by you." ”
"Miss Wan is too modest, having a famous teacher like Miss Wan to teach Yi'er, that's our blessing, come on, eat more, you're welcome." Father Lan looked at this Miss Wan, with a good temperament and high piano skills, although she was a businessman, her behavior was not inferior to that of everyone.
"Daddy, Sister Wan not only has good piano skills, but also knows a lot of knowledge, I want her to be my master all the time, so that I can learn a lot." Lan Ruoyi looked at Lan Hongwen and said deliberately.
"In this way, we have no problem, we have to see if Miss Wan is free." Father Lan said without any opinion.
Wan Xinyu saw Lan Hongwen, who was anxious and anxious, raised a smile and said: "I also talked to Sister Yi'er very speculatively, I can't say whether I teach or not, and it is also my luck to get along with Sister Yi'er like this." ”
After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, except for Lan Hongwen.
After that, Wan Xinyu said goodbye to Lan Fu, and did not take the opportunity to find Lan Hongwen, since the warm show of love did not work, she would not be stupid to continue walking, this kind of roundabout tactic is what she needs.
