Chapter 44: Play
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao." Zhao Jing strode into Zangjiao's dormitory with the corner of his robe, Zangjiao was a little sleepy in the afternoon, thinking about sleeping quietly, and sent the people serving in the house to scatter at will.
He lay on the red sour branch wood four-legged carved beauty couch, put a blue gauze tent, and read a book at will, gradually starry eyes, heavy eyelids, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When Zhao Jing came in, he saw that Zangjiao seemed to be awake, her cheeks were ruddy like flowers, and she looked at herself with misty phoenix eyes. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly stayed and bent down to greet him.
Strode up and took the still somewhat misty Zangjiao in his arms and said with a smile: "It's hot and humid for a long day, and I look very good when I take a nap." Sit down, did I tell them not to alarm you, didn't they alarm you? ”
Zang Jiao wrinkled her small nose and smiled coquettishly, picked up a handkerchief on Zhao Jing's chest and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead: "Is the official family having lunch at Niangniang's?" The concubine didn't think that you suddenly came here today, and fell asleep after reading the book for a while at noon. ”
Reaching out to catch Zangjiao's delicate little hand, Zhao Jing scratched her nose and smiled: "I have been busy in the Qingxin Palace for a while, and I have lunch with her in the queen's palace, thinking that I have something good to tell you, so I came." ”
"A good thing? Could it be that the mother's body has hope of healing? Zang Jiao stared at Zhao Jing in surprise and asked. The queen's body is not getting better," Zhao Jing shook his head and sighed. "It's a good thing for you."
"A good thing for a concubine?" Zang Jiao looked up curiously, looking at Zhao Jing curiously, and after thinking for a long time, she still looked confused.
"Earlier this day, the servant of the Ministry of Officials recommended to me that your father be transferred to Beijing, and I have already approved it." Zhao Jing doted on Tibetan Jiao's black and smooth hair. Take a deep breath of the elegant aroma and close your eyes contentedly.
"Ah, is Daddy really going to Beijing?" Zangjiao was pleasantly surprised. Twisting his body to look at Zhao Jing, a few strands of hair naughtily slipped into Zhao Jing's nose, and he couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
Zhao Jing laughed and rubbed his itchy nose, and reached out to gently pinch Zang's delicate and smooth face: "Little girl, I will still lie to you." I have decreed that your father be promoted to the rank of palace attendant in the capital.
Although he is still from the rank of Qipin, he is in charge of picketing Chaoyi. He also knows the treasurer's treasurer and the internal affairs of the palace gate. It's a very decent errand, and most of the imperial history is more expensive. In the future, your father will also have some prestige in the court. ”
"It's really good for the official family to treat concubines, so that Daddy, Auntie and Dalang can all come to Beijing. We can't meet each other. I'm happy to be in one place. ”
Zangjiao's delicate face was full of joy, Zhao Jing looked at her and smiled: "Why can't we meet?" Although the palace rules and concubines can only summon their families, with my permission, can you see your family once a month? ”
"Really? Official. Isn't the concubine dreaming? Zangjiao's eyes sparkled with a sparkle of light. Overjoyed, he pulled Zhao Jing's warm palm and shook it non-stop, and his face was full of the little daughter's naivety, which was delicate and moving.
"Naturally, it's true, that's how happy it is? Would it be nice for me to say something good to you? ”
Listening to Zhao Jing and good things, Zangjiao became more and more interested: "The official family dares to be a good news boy today, and good things are one after another, so let's talk about it and listen to it with the concubine." ”
Zhao Jing groaned slightly, and said slowly with a little sigh in his voice:
"That's a good thing. The queen doesn't have much time to do, and I think she can still walk around and take her out of the palace to go for a walk. There are a lot of strange birds and beasts in Shanglin Garden, and I told her to take her to see a few new Fanbang long-tailed pheasants.
mentioned this matter at lunch with her today, and the queen was quite interested, and agreed in one bite. I also specifically mentioned to me that there are few people to play and it is boring, and I want me to bring Yongfu and you with me. I thought that you didn't have a lot of fun since you entered the palace, so you might as well go together.
First, I want to be a companion with the queen, and secondly, Yongfu likes to play with you. I have already instructed Li to prepare for it, and we will set off together for Shanglin Yuan to play the day after tomorrow. Would you like to be Jiaojiao? ”
"This official family is dedicated to accompanying the mother to wander and relax, is it a little inappropriate for the concubine to follow along." Zang Jiao hesitated a little when she thought about it, Zhao Jing smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I know Miaorong's thoughts." Since beating you to save Yongfu, she has treated you as if you were her sister, and although she is not visible on weekdays, she often tells me to treat you better.
The queen is not a person with different hearts, since she said that she wants you to go with her, you can go with confidence. The forest garden covers an area of 1,000 acres, surrounded by three mountains. There are countless rare beasts and beautiful flowers and trees, and it is also a pleasure for us to hang out there for two days. ”
After all, Zangjiao is still a twenty-eight-year-old lady, although she is slightly more stable than others, where is there anyone who doesn't like to play. Hearing Zhao Jing say this, he simply agreed happily. The two had decided that it was still early in the daylight, so they simply dragged over the chessboard and sat opposite each other under the window to play chess to relieve their boredom.
Zangjiao and Zhao Jing happily played chess and played, but Lan Zhaoyi was full of frost in Hepu Palace, holding a sharp hairpin with a honey pear in his hand, looking at the crystal droplets bubbling out of the pear's thorns, and sneered:
"It's okay, the good queen doesn't do it, but she starts to be the old leader Ma Boliu. The seven meat and eight vegetarians who are sick from their own children can't serve the official family, and they also follow the example of the concubine to get a beauty trick.
It's a good time to relax, the husband and wife went to Shanglin Yuan to have fun, and brought a fox surnamed Jin. I dare to be afraid that the official family will be interested, and I can't deal with it, so I can't send the Jin family up to make up the number. ”
All kinds of foul words poured out of the vermilion cherry mouth, and the words were unbearable.
Luo Xia was used to hearing her master smiling and saying vicious words like this, so she just stood aside honestly and waited for Lan Zhaoyi's anger to pass for a while.
The ears and eyes who came to report the news hooked their heads and shrunk into a ball on the ground with their shoulders caught, eager to plug their ears with cotton wool, and pretend that Lan Zhaoyi's dirty words that cursed the queen viciously and were enough to raid the house and cut off their heads had never heard anything.
The pears had been poked to shreds, and the slimy juice was falling all over the ground, and Lan Zhaoyi's anger seemed to be gradually extinguished. glanced at the ears and eyes of the messenger, and suddenly opened his small mouth delicately.
In a sweet voice, he asked the people underground, "What did I say just now?" The ears and eyes on the ground closed their eyes and shook their heads and said in a loud voice: "Niangniang was eating pears just now, praising this pear as sweet as honey, and the slaves next to her didn't hear anything." ”
"What a smart girl." Lan Zhaoyi let out a string of silver bell-like laughter, walked up to the person with satisfaction, picked her chin with the tip of the hairpin and leaned in front of him and smiled: "You have never been to this palace today, how can you hear this palace praise the sweetness of pears?" ”
The man on the ground looked at the sharp hairpin flashing and flashing, and his face changed greatly: "Yes, yes, the slave has never been to the Niangniang Palace, Fang Cai, Fang Cai slave is talking in a dream." ”
The hairpin flashed cold, passing in front of her eyes, Lan Zhaoyi casually threw the hairpin aside, stared at her condescendingly and coldly said, "It's not okay to dream!" You'd better sleep steadily, sleep dead, sleep deeper. Don't talk nonsense in your dreams and kill yourself. ”
The left and right sides are not vertical, the man simply knelt on his stomach and kowtowed again and again, and he didn't dare to say another word.
Lan Zhaoyi looked at her with satisfaction, put on her sweet smile again, and instructed Luo Xia to help people up and said with a smile: "This palace is playing with you, but don't take it seriously." This person in this palace just likes to joke, right, Luoxia. ”
"Yes, the mother has always been innocent, and she treats the slaves and maids kindly, often making some jokes and frolicking, and the slaves know best." Luoxia stood without blinking and followed suit.
"That's it, it's just a joke, you don't have to be so scared." Lan Zhaoyi gently patted the man's shoulder, and took down a heavy red gold bracelet from her hand and put it in front of her eyes:
"Let's play with this. If there is any news in the future, come to the report early. Your father's little shop, I'll ask someone outside to take care of it, just rest assured. ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and took the bracelet and said thank Niangniang for the reward, seeing that Lan Zhaoyi had no other instructions, he bowed all the way and walked out of Hepu Palace.
Lan Zhaoyi stood in front of the window and looked at a golden parrot cage hanging on the window, and said softly to the parrot in the cage with a smile: "Baby, we have something to do." (To be continued.) )
