Chapter 28: The Heart of the Son of Heaven
() After the early dynasty, the emperor came to the imperial garden alone to take a leisurely walk, but he didn't expect to meet a cuttlefish by chance, and remembered about the similarity of the two of them, but the emperor was not surprised and slightly stunned yesterday, but a little more interested, and wanted to get along with this Su promise.
The emperor's face was peaceful, and seeing that he was in a good mood, he hesitated slightly, and then said, "Su promised that he had just experienced a heavy blow and was also frightened, why don't you rest and recuperate in Changchun Palace, and have to get up early in the morning to come here to toss?" ”
This worry is really redundant, the emperor doesn't know, the cuttlefish's body is actually not half unwell, and the so-called reason for not being able to sleep is just a deliberately made up excuse.
The cuttlefish responded, "Emperor Xie cares, the concubine felt dizzy after sleeping for too long yesterday, so she wanted to come out to breathe, such a good scenery in the imperial garden only teaches people to be in a particularly happy mood, and it is an excellent place to go." ”
"Slept for too long? It's true, I heard that you were in a dark day for a long time yesterday, no wonder you want to come out to breathe. The emperor chuckled lightly and quipped, "Then you can walk around here with me, with me here, no one will dare to let you eat a fist." ”
This sounds quite serious at first glance, but when you think about it, it is full of ridicule, which pot is really not opened.
The cuttlefish was stunned for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to refute but was speechless, so he had to pass, "Yes, the emperor." ”
After hearing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and walked forward with his long legs, and the cuttlefish followed silently behind him, and he began to regret coming to the imperial garden, knowing that he would meet the emperor, she might as well continue to sleep in her own palace.
Ruyi glanced at the cuttlefish, secretly rejoicing, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, the master does not have many opportunities to see the emperor, and it is also a good thing to meet here.
"Su promised, in my impression before, you seemed to be a talented girl who read poetry and books, I don't know what books you have read, and who taught you to read." That day, the cuttlefish in the Xinuan Pavilion said a few words of poetry related to tea, and the emperor still remembered it in his heart, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Most women only love female red qin music, and those who can read and write are already very good, but you are different from everyone else, and your conversation is much more elegant." ”
When it came to literacy and reading, the cuttlefish frowned, but soon looked calm, "How dare you call it elegant, the emperor praised it falsely, the concubine just learned a thing or two from her brother since she was a child, and occasionally read some books to pass the time, she is not a talented woman." ”
Naturally, the cuttlefish told a lie, in order not to make the emperor suspicious, she did not tell the whole story of the fact that she studied under a master a few years ago, if the emperor's interest was aroused, so that he asked carefully, the details of her identity would inevitably be exposed.
The emperor turned around and looked at the cuttlefish with a smile, his expression was a little suspicious, he was the Son of Heaven, how could he be fooled by a casual few words, but since people didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask more, so he just said, "Oh, you are modest and low-key." ”
But soon, the emperor noticed the distance between the cuttlefish and him, and kept a deliberate distance, a touch of blame floated on the emperor's face, he pursed his lips, and asked the cuttlefish, "I don't know if it's because I'm too scary, why didn't Su promise to stay away from me, can't I get closer and go together?" Could it be that you still have lingering palpitations because of what you did yesterday, and you are afraid that you will be beaten again if you get too close to someone? ”
This emperor makes fun of people at every turn, his mouth is disgusting, and the cuttlefish unconsciously gives birth to an angry feeling.
She looked respectful, and opened her mouth to fight back, "How could the emperor scare the concubine, it's just that when you came to see the concubine yesterday, your face suddenly changed without saying a few words, and then she left in a panic, as if she was greatly frightened, and the concubine was terrified, worried that it was her own problem, and she was afraid that she would accidentally startle you, so she didn't dare to approach again." ”
These words were mocking the emperor's strange behavior at that time, and the emperor knew it, and at that time he was shocked to realize that the eyes in front of him were similar to his own, and he couldn't help but be surprised, so he fled in a panic. And now, it's his laughing stock.
The emperor didn't get angry because of this, but just laughed dryly twice to hide his embarrassment, he glanced at the peony flower on the cuttlefish's hair, and took the opportunity to divert the topic, "Su promised to be sharp-toothed, it's really cute, but we have said a lot here, I already feel a little thirsty, are you interested in going to the Heart Nourishing Palace with me to drink some peony porridge to moisten your throat." ”
"The emperor's good intentions, how dare you live up to it, the concubines should be willing to go. A porridge and a meal, when thinking about it is not easy to come by, I just hope that when eating, the emperor will no longer ridicule his concubines, just concentrate on drinking porridge. The cuttlefish face did not change color and said bluntly.
"As you say, I don't want to be greedy anymore, so as not to annoy you." The emperor agreed with a smile, but muttered in his heart, people don't look big, but their temper is not small.
I am accustomed to seeing all kinds of obedient concubines in the palace, all of them are like a pool of lake water that is blown by the wind and does not see the slightest movement, which makes the emperor feel bored and boring, and there is no one who can talk to him, and his temperament will inevitably become more and more cold and gloomy. Now that he sees a woman like a cuttlefish who can speak and advance and retreat, his heart unconsciously ripples, and he feels that it is different from before.
The emperor slowed his pace, deliberately keeping pace with the cuttlefish, and the breeze gently raised the corners of his golden robe, followed by the corners of the Son of Heaven's always indifferent mouth. After walking for a moment, neither of them said anything, and an imperceptible embarrassment filled the air.
Ruyi followed behind, anxious, this is not easy to be alone with the emperor, why doesn't the master say more good things to make the emperor happy, if he is always so unenlightened, when will grace come to Changchun Palace?
"Your Majesty." The cuttlefish suddenly spoke up and shouted to the emperor, as if he had something to say.
Ruyi said secretly, thank God, master, you can be regarded as talking, but you have to say something that the emperor likes to listen to, so it can be useful.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Huh? ”
The cuttlefish swallowed his saliva and asked, "The peony porridge you just talked about is made from peony flowers, how does it taste?" The concubines like to eat sweets, can you let the imperial dining room add more sugar to the concubines' portions? ”
“……”
In the peach grove in the distance, the figure of a thin woman was slowly moving, the peach blossoms had been defeated, and only the green fruits of the tree were gathered together waiting to ripen, and these fruits happened to provide her with some cover, so that she could blatantly set her eyes on the emperor without being detected.
With jealousy and unwillingness to stop and watch, how many harem women have spent their precious time, but in the end, they can only get a sigh, poor people.
