Chapter Thirty-Nine: Old Things, Concubine Rou
Chapter 39 Old Things, Concubine Rou
"Father, during the period when the son is recuperating in Qingyue Bay, what is the movement in the palace?" Qingyuan asked.
When Emperor Qing heard him say this, he immediately understood what he meant, "Are you saying that the person who intercepted and killed you halfway may have something to do with the forces in the palace?" For some reason, the first person he thought of when he said this was Qingli.
Qingli this child, he originally had a sense of guilt for his mother's death, so he was allowed to live alone in a palace and live casually, but as Qingli grew up, he listened to the news from the secret guard, and the feeling of guilt gradually evolved into worry, this child, coming back with hatred, what he would do, no one knows.
Later, the news spread by the secret guard became less and less, Qingli's personality became more and more gentle, he was willing to communicate with people, and became the most popular prince in the palace in a short period of time, even the palace concubines around him would talk about Qingli's goodness in his ear from time to time.
Qingli's transformation made him vaguely uneasy, this child's mind was too deep, even if he had been an emperor for half his life, he couldn't see him through, so he could only build a mansion for him outside the palace and send him out of the palace.
However, after thinking about it carefully, but it shouldn't be Qingli, he sent Qingli to answer, and at the same time sent a letter to Yuan'er, the person who can intercept and kill Yuan'er before Qingli arrives must be a place close to Huayunding, and daring to do it in the middle of the mountain also shows that they know the terrain very well, so Qingli does not have this condition.
"Yuan'er, today you leave with Qing first, remember not to reveal your identity, wait for your father to arrange the matter and then notify you, these days you will live in Shenghua first, there is the protection of the forbidden army arranged by your father, you can also be safe."
Emperor Qing's decision was exactly what he wanted, so he responded without much excuse, pasted the human skin mask in front of the dressing mirror, Qingyuan returned to the bed, and continued to chat with Emperor Qing as Nanshu-
Dividing line-
After the imperial doctor saw Qingli's wounds, he first went to give the Qing Emperor a reward, Qingli sat on the stone steps outside the hall, the sunlight shrouded him like a light veil, the light golden light hit his face, and his cheeks were as pale as paper, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead shone in the sunlight, like stars. On his arm, the wound re-bandaged by the imperial doctor was exposed, and the sleeve of his coat had not been lowered, revealing half of his forearm. He leaned back against the wall, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
As soon as Concubine Rou came in, she saw such a scene, Xuemei was about to speak, but she stopped her: "Shhh, you guys take a detour, don't disturb the six princes!" Xuemei winked, and the several palace maids holding the tray and food box withdrew their obsessive eyes, buried their heads and followed her.
Concubine Rou pulled up the hem of her skirt, slowed down and was about to enter the hall from the side door, when she heard Qingli's voice with a smile: "I have heard that Concubine Rou is good at dancing, and her body is as light as a swallow, but today she can be regarded as opening her eyes, and she doesn't even make a sound when she walks!" ”
"How do the six princes know that it is the main palace?" She was sure she wasn't making a sound, and how did he know it was hers.
Qingli slowly opened his eyes, the dazzling sunlight made his eyebrows frown slightly, and it took a moment to get used to it before he opened it completely, "Dare to ask Concubine Rou if she uses Yiluo Xiang?" ”
Concubine Rou covered her lips and smiled, and suddenly understood how he knew, Yiluo incense is the best in incense, used for clothing incense, the aroma is fragrant, windless and self-dissipating, long-lasting, it is Concubine Ning's favorite incense during her lifetime.
"The six princes are very knowledgeable, but Rong Bengong said a word, you still don't sit on the ground here and sit well, look at the palace maids serving outside this palace, they are all so fascinated by you that they don't know where to go!"
When she mentioned it, Qingli raised his eyebrows and looked, and really saw that several palace maids who were taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard lowered their heads, and the red ears confirmed Concubine Rou's words, so he didn't know how to talk, so he had to stand up and pat his shirt, and humbly waved at Concubine Rou: "Niangniang is right, Qingli is taught." ”
"Xuemei has already sent the refreshments in first, why don't the six princes go in together and taste some refreshments?"
In the face of Concubine Rou's invitation, Qingli happily agreed, followed her back to the dormitory again, he entered the inner room, Qingyuan had already stood in his original position, Xuemei put the refreshments away, Concubine Rou came to the bed gracefully, sat down next to Emperor Qing, Xuemei on the side immediately handed over the silver chopsticks, she picked up the pastry and tasted it first, and then said softly to Emperor Qingdi: "Your Majesty, you come to taste the dim sum made by the concubine, see if it suits your appetite!" ”
Emperor Qing smiled and opened his mouth, and took a bite of the pastry with Concubine Rou's chopsticks, Xu is pastry suited his heart, Emperor Qing's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and then pinched her face appreciatively: "The taste of Rou'er is very good, a hundred times better than those imperial chefs!" ”
Concubine Rou's cheeks suddenly turned red as if they had been smeared with rouge, and she cast a strange look, "Your Majesty!" The Six Princes are still there! ”
With this reminder, Emperor Qing noticed Qingli sitting there, "If it's okay, you can go back to the house to recuperate, you don't need to enter the palace again in the near future!" ”
Qingli was eating a piece of pastry, and when she heard that she didn't have time to swallow it, she could only salute silently, and when Concubine Rou saw it, she waved her hand at Xuemei and said to Emperor Qing; "Your Majesty, let the six princes pack that plate of pastries and take them back, the six princes have worked hard all the way, so we should comfort him!"
Emperor Qing nodded the tip of her nose and smiled: "Okay, don't you understand your careful thoughts, just let Xuemei put some back for him and give you a live signboard, lest that kid in Shenghua always make fun of you for not being good at cooking!" ”
"The emperor is wise, the concubine really can't hide this little bit of thought from you, in the future, the concubine will learn more dishes, and make them for the emperor to eat in different ways, see who dares to say that the concubine is just a vase with a false appearance!"
Concubine Rou pouted and pleased Emperor Qingdi, and the two of them laughed as if no one was around, Qingli took the food box handed over by Xuemei with interest, saluted again, and walked out of the hall with Qingyuan.
Came to the carriage, Qingli helped the wheel to get into the car first, Qingyuan sat down beside him with the food box, the carriage moved forward slowly, he opened the food box, picked up a piece and tasted it, the taste was really good!
Qingli lay down with his futon face facing outwards as he did when he entered the palace, and the slight sound of Qingyuan chewing pastries was in his ears, he didn't ask what Qingyuan and Qingdi had talked about, and Qingyuan didn't take the initiative to mention it.
When the carriage stopped outside Lanyuezhai, Qingyuan collapsed first, and when Qingli got out of the car, he was gone, and he walked upstairs step by step, and he heard Shenghua shouting: "What? You said that Shen Rou used the same spices as your mother? I didn't really pay attention to it, but you said she really made this pastry? It's delicious! ”
