The Emperor walked in from outside, covered in wind and snow. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Yan walked over to greet him, and couldn't help but ask him: "What is the emperor doing here, he didn't come over by the royal court, and it was covered with snow." ”
The emperor stretched out his hand to stop her from leaning over, and said softly, "Don't come near me, it's cold." ”
Lin Yan had no choice but to stop at a step away from him.
The emperor pointed to Wan Chun behind him and said, "Go and find a plum vase for the plum blossoms to help you put them in." ”
Lin Yan realized that Wan Chun behind him was holding a bundle of plum blossoms, and he was also carrying snowflakes.
So he just - personally folded plum blossoms?
Wan Chun smiled and said yes, first asked the little eunuch behind him to help him pat the snow, and then came in and inserted it in the plum bottle that Mu Qing had already found.
Here, the emperor was also served by the palace people, first took off the fox fur cloak stained with snowflakes, walked to the stove to warm up, and led Lin Yan to the couch and sat down.
He hugged Lin Yan to his lap, touched her belly, and said with a smile: "Let me see, our child is well-behaved." ”
Lin Yan was gently stroked by him on her belly, and said with a smile: "It's not been three months, where can I touch it." ”
The emperor calculated in his heart and said, "When this little thing comes out, it will have to wait until June next year." "Saying that no small thing comes out, we have to wait until June next year." He couldn't help but smile and said, "I really can't wait for him to come out." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yan was also a little worried.
In June next year, when the weather is at its hottest, she will be worried to death during her confinement - she can't use ice during confinement.
Lin Yan sighed lightly in her heart, and then asked the emperor with a smile: "Does the emperor want his concubine to have a little princess or a little prince?" ”
The emperor said without hesitation: "Sir, a princess, the princess is painful." ”
The prince may have to give birth to the inheritance of incense and family business, but the emperor does seem to prefer princesses. For example, the fifth prince and the second princess were born around the same time, but the emperor went to visit the second princess more.
However, Lin Yan herself also hopes to give birth to a princess.
The emperor said again: "Soon it will be the Laba Festival, and then the New Year. You are pregnant now, you still don't have to worry about these things in the palace, I see that Mu Qing can also take charge of herself, you just leave it to her. ”
Lin Yan said with a smile: "Although Mu Qing is capable, after all, he is a palace person, and many things still need to be asked by the concubines often, and the people of the Six Shang Bureau are willing to do it diligently." But she continued: "But the concubine promised the emperor that if she can, she should worry as little as possible." ”
The emperor said: "You find two palace concubines to help you, like ......" The emperor first thought of the highest-ranking concubine, but after thinking about the discord between Yuan Yuan and the concubine, it was inevitable that there would be contradictions when they worked together, so he turned around and said: "...... Like Concubine Xian and Hu Zhaorong, they are both old people in the palace and can share one or two. There is also the Wang family, who is also from the family, and should be able to help do some small things. ”
Lin Yan said with a smile: "Since the emperor has said so, the concubine will be lazy this year." ”
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, then took her in his arms, squeezed her hand, and said, "Although you are the queen, you don't have to worry about everything, just control the overall situation, and let the people below do the rest of the details." As he spoke, he kissed her sideburns and said, "I don't have to exhaust myself to death." ”
Lin Yan buried it in his arms with a smile and said, "The concubine respectfully listens to the emperor's teachings." ”
The Emperor asked again, "Is there anything you want to eat?" As long as it doesn't interfere with your body, I will find it for you. ”
He knew that women would become greedy in the early stages of pregnancy and have strange tastes. For example, it is normal to like sour and spicy, and some people who want to eat raw meat and snakes have it. For example, when Xianniang was pregnant with the prince, she liked to eat raw rice, and every day she asked people to find a small bowl of raw rice for her to eat, and at that time he was also the first time to have a child, so surprised that he almost dropped his jaw.
When Lin Yan heard what he said, her mouth was really greedy, and she said: "When the concubine was in the northwest before, she ate a local cold skin, made of cold dough, and put spicy seeds, vinegar, garlic, peanuts, small tofu cubes and other things on it, mix it well and eat it together, it is sour and spicy, and it is particularly delicious." Lin Yan was drooling when she thought about it, she was very greedy, but she said with some regret: "But these are some folk snacks in the northwest, and no one in the capital seems to know how to do them, even if they do, they are not authentic." ”
The emperor thought for a while, called Wan Chun, and asked him, "Is there a cook from the northwest in the imperial dining room?" If not, ask the other palace people in the inner prison if there is anyone from the northwest who can make cold skin, and ask him to make a bowl for your mother. ”
Lin Yan didn't want to make such a big fuss, so she took the emperor's hand and said, "No need, the concubines are just hungry now, maybe they don't want to eat it after a while." The tastes of concubines are changing very quickly now. ”
The emperor said, "Let people make it first, and then if you don't want to eat it, you won't eat it." ”
There was no cook from the Northwest in the imperial dining room, but Gonggong Wan had excellent ability to do things, and finally he really asked him to find a Northwest man who could make cool skin from the eunuch in charge of ice in the ice storehouse, and presented the cool skin to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan really rarely ate such an authentic snack in the palace, and ate two large bowls at once.
The emperor saw that she was eating with relish, and he also used a little, he felt that the taste of the cold skin was mediocre, but for the cold noodles presented to Yitong, he thought it was good, so he ate a small bowl with shame.
After Lin Yan finished eating, she patted her stomach and burped a little, and sighed, "It's so supportive." ”
The emperor wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then smiled and instructed Wan Gong to be fair: "Drop the man just now into the imperial dining room, and let him make a small bowl of this cold skin every day and present it to your mother." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head again and said to Lin Yan: "I see that it is not good to eat too much of this kind of cold thing, just eat a small bowl every day to satisfy your cravings." ”
The bowl in the palace is not as good as the bowl outside, and it is said to be a small bowl, but it is really just a small bowl that can hold two mouthfuls.
Lin Yan is not a willful person, and said with a smile: "The concubine knows." ”
The emperor sat with her for a while, and in the evening he went to the Qinzheng Hall again, only to say that he would not come back tonight, and let her go to bed early.
Lin Yan knew that the emperor had recently issued several decrees, and he should be very busy in political affairs, so she didn't stay long, so she just sent him out and said to him: "The emperor should pay attention to his body, don't forget to use the meal when he is busy." He also told Gonggong Wan to keep an eye on the emperor for dinner.
The emperor touched her face and said, "It's cold outside, don't send it out, go back." ”
After speaking, he put on a fox fur, and then went out of the palace gate to get on the royal car.
It wasn't until the emperor's royal drive was far away that Lin Yan turned around and went back, but not long after she sat down, someone from the palace came in and reported: "Niangniang, Wang Jieyu is here." ”
Wang Jieyu has come to her recently, and she is not surprised. She probably came just now, but she saw that the emperor was here, so she never came in.
Lin Yan said, "Let her in." (To be continued.) )
