In the Zhaoyang Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wu Guifei took the tea bowl from the palace maid's hand, handed it to the emperor with her own hands, and then said with a smile: "The weather is cold, the emperor warms up his body with some hot tea." ”

The emperor took the tea bowl, brushed the tea leaves on it with the lid of the bowl, took a small sip, and then asked Wu Guifei: "You asked me to come over and say that there is something, what is the matter?" ”

Wu Guifei complained a little: "It's okay, can't the concubine invite the emperor over?" The emperor looked at the stone steps in front of the palace of the concubines, and the moss had grown old. ”

Saying that, he felt that his tone was probably not good, sighed, and said: "It's not a big deal, the concubine just wants to ask the emperor what he thinks about the second prince's family affairs." ”

Wu Guifei lowered her eyebrows, and said: "After the New Year, the two princes will be nineteen years old, and at the age of the sons of ordinary people's houses, it is estimated that there are one or two children." The emperor has never shown his intention to the second prince's family affairs, and the concubine is just this one son, and the concubine is also a little anxious. The concubine wanted to ask the emperor what he was thinking, and the concubine had a bottom in her heart, so as not to be like this. ”

The emperor put down the tea bowl and said, "You are his mother, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry him?" ”

Wu Guifei smiled and said, "Look at what the emperor said, the emperor is the father of the second prince, and the family affairs of the second prince should naturally be decided by the emperor." After a pause, he said: "But last time, Guicheng commanded Lord Gan's wife to return to Beijing with her daughter, and when she entered the palace to meet her, the concubine met Miss Gan Er, but she felt that this Miss Gan Er was very knowledgeable, virtuous and filial. ”

After she finished speaking, she quietly went to look at the emperor's face, only to see that the emperor's face was expressionless, and his fingers lightly tapped the wrench on his other hand.

Wu Guifei said: "If the emperor already has a candidate in his heart, of course, he still has to follow the emperor's wishes." ”

The emperor said: "When a daughter-in-law marries into the door, she always wants to get along with Xiao Er, so first ask Xiao Er's meaning......

Before the emperor's words were finished, Wu Guifei hurriedly interrupted him and said, "The second prince is also very satisfied with Miss Gan. ”

The Emperor turned his head to look at her.

Wu Guifei felt that she was a little speechless, smiled uncomfortably, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the second prince has anything to Miss Gan Er in private, it's just that Miss Gan Er was very kind to the palace maid that day, and the second prince praised the concubine when he saw it, saying that Miss Gan Er is a good girl." ”

The emperor said: "In this case, the girl of the Gan family is the girl of the Gan family, and I will issue a decree to give marriage." ”

Wu Guifei was happy and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of the second prince. As he spoke, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said: "The emperor doesn't know, the marriage of the second prince has always been the top priority in the hearts of the concubines, and sometimes when I see that the prince already has Yuan'er under his knees, the concubines are also very envious." ”

The emperor said nothing more.

It just so happened that at this time, Yu Yu came over, curtsied the emperor and Wu Guifei, and then said to Wu Guifei: "Niangniang, it's time to pass on dinner." ”

Wu Guifei turned her head to look at the emperor, and said with some complaints and some caution: "Your Majesty, let's have dinner with the concubines today." How long has it been since the emperor has had dinner with his courtiers and concubines. ”

The Emperor looked at the sky outside, then nodded.

After speaking, he beckoned to Gonggong Wan and said, "You go to Changkun Palace to tell the queen, I will stay in Zhaoyang Palace for dinner." ”

Wu Guifei was a little angry when she heard it, when the emperor came to her for dinner, the emperor had to report to the queen.

But after all, it was rare for the emperor to stay, and Wu Guifei didn't want to make the emperor angry, so she finally endured this breath.

Waiting for the palace people to bring the dinner the same, Wu Guifei served the emperor and entered the seat together.

Wu Guifei had already made the idea of letting the emperor stay for dinner, so she ordered the dining room to cook all the dishes that the emperor loved to eat.

Wu Guifei smiled and pointed to a dish of roasted venison on the table, and said to the emperor: "The emperor tasted this lamb stew, the concubine remembered that in the palace before, the emperor's favorite dish was this lamb stew, every time he came to accompany the concubine to eat, the concubine would definitely let people prepare this dish, but the emperor seemed to be tired of eating it, and this dish was the one he ate the most every time." ”

The palace maid who had her own dishes sandwiched this lamb stew into the emperor's plate.

When Wu Guifei said it, there was a taste of nostalgia on her face. Although the emperor at that time also preferred to go to Lin Xian's house, he would always come to her house occasionally, so that she always had a hope, not like now, as if she was a widow.

She used to dislike Lin Xian and always dominate the emperor with jealousy, but now compared with Lin Yan, she knows that Lin Xian can be regarded as a virtuous woman.

Lin Yan ate the meat by herself, so she couldn't even drink a mouthful of soup.

The emperor also remembered the Wu family at that time.

At that time, the Wu family was young and young, although he was a little domineering, but he still had the delicate and energetic spirit of a girl, unlike now, every time he saw him, he always complained a lot, or accused him of partiality towards the prince and the Lin family.

He admitted that he was a little partial to the Lin family, but the Wu family was not as loyal to him as the Lin family.

The Lin family began to follow him from the time he was a down-and-out prince, when Lin Zhong and his eldest son died on the battlefield and won the battle against the Hu people, which shielded him from the doubts of the ministers of the court and the central government about his appointment as the prince, and consolidated his position as the crown prince.

At the same time as the Wu family, he sent his daughter into the palace of him and King Qi, and watched left and right between him and King Qi, and the situation was clear, and the emperor revealed his intention to make him the crown prince before he completely stood firmly in his camp, and the emperor did not feel that there was anything wrong with him being partial to the Lin family.

But for the concubine, the emperor is still a little sorry.

The concubine is not exactly a pawn of the family to him, she is sincere to him, when he had no one to help except the Lin family, she also went back to the Xuanguo Mansion again and again to kneel and beg for the support of the Xuanguo Gong.

Thinking of this, the emperor sighed, took a chopstick dish for the concubine, and said, "You can eat it too." ”

But this small action was enough to make the concubine smile happily, and her heart was moved, looking at the chopsticks dish on the plate, she was almost reluctant to eat.

Wu Guifei raised her eyes to look at the emperor, called out with slightly red eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, ......"

The Emperor lifted his chin and gestured for her plate to eat.

Wu Guifei happily took the chopsticks and ate slowly.

The palace maid continued to serve the dishes behind her, and as long as the emperor looked at any dish twice, her own little palace maid used chopsticks to clip it for him.

And when the palace maid was holding a piece of roasted venison for the emperor, the chopsticks in her hand were not held steady, and the dish suddenly fell on the emperor's clothes.

The palace maid was shocked, and quickly knelt down and said, "The emperor forgives the sin!" ”

Wu Guifei frowned, scolded angrily, and said, "You damn slave, you can't even serve people." ”

The emperor also frowned slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, the palace maid lowered her head and trembled, looking a little pitiful. Revealing the outside of his clothes is a white neck, which is somewhat similar to Yuan Yuan.

In the end, the emperor was not angry, and said, "It's okay, you can go down." ”

Father-in-law Wan hurriedly walked over at this time, kicked the palace maid on the ground, and said, "Let's go, don't go down quickly." After speaking, he glanced at the stains on the emperor's clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is waiting for you to change your clothes?" ”

The Emperor nodded, stood up and entered the inner sanctum.

Wu Guifei lowered her eyebrows, looked down at the palace maid who was still kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said, "Raise your head and take a look at the palace." (To be continued.) )
