CHAPTER XXXII
Although it is winter now, but the imperial garden is still gorgeous and colorful, strange flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, stone paintings are the road, Yun Zichen took Yuexi all the way to take a look, came to the pavilion to sit down and rest, next to the pavilion is a rockery, the rockery is full of strange flowers and plants, not far away there is a small lake, because it is now winter, the lake surface is knotted with this thin layer of frost!
The two of them walked around for a long time, and Gonggong Jiang stepped forward to remind him when he saw that the time was not early: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to go back for lunch, Lord Xie has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time!" ”
Yun Zichen originally planned to let Gonggong Jiang send Lord Xie back first, and then go shopping with Yuexi, but Yuexi persuaded: "Your Majesty, Lord Xie must be in a hurry to find you, it's not too early, we should also go back to dinner!" I'm tired too! ”
Yun Zichen had no choice but to lead Yuexi back to the palace, passing by a palace when Yuexi stopped, look at this plaque - Chenxi Palace, take a closer look, this door is carved dragon and phoenix, but there is a big lock hanging on the door, from the crack in the door to see that the inside is even more brilliant, very good-looking, but no one seems to be cleaning here, it looks a little old and desolate!
Yuexi asked, "Who lived here?" Looking exquisitely decorated, why is it so desolate? ”
Yun Zichen's eyes were uncertain, and he replied casually: "No one!" Let's go back, I'm hungry! ”
Yuexi nodded, and didn't ask anything anymore, the two returned to the Ziwei Palace, Yun Zichen went to the imperial study after lunch, Yuexi was a little bored sitting in the Ziwei Palace, take a look around! At this time, a beautiful woman dressed gorgeously and with her hair full of pearls and emeralds walked in, and Yuexi was tired of her when she saw her full of pearls!
The woman walked in, raised her head arrogantly, didn't look at Yuexi, and asked, "What about the emperor?" ”
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, he went to the imperial study to see the minister! Who are you? What's the matter with looking for the emperor? The emperor is back, and I will convey it for you! ”
The woman looked at her contemptuously and said, "Which onion are you?" What qualifications do you have to ask this palace, and you have to give a message to the emperor for this palace! ”
Yuexi saw that she should be the favored concubine in the harem, and she didn't want to worry about her, so she just said: "I'm just sent by Ye Wangfu to take care of the emperor, if Niangniang has something important to say to the emperor, it's better to come later!" ”
When the woman heard her say that she was sent by the Ye Palace's palace to take care of the emperor, she thought she was just a maid, and she spoke politely: "This palace is the emperor's Ling Jieyu, you go and make a cup of tea for the palace, and the palace is waiting for the emperor here!" ”
Jieyu, the position is quite high, and she must have served Yun Zichen a lot, thinking of this, Yuexi didn't know why there was a sour feeling in her heart!
Seeing that she didn't move, Ling Jieyu said a little angrily: "This palace asked you to make a pot of tea, don't you understand?" ”
Yuexi felt uncomfortable, and naturally spoke politely: "Prince Ye asked me to take care of the emperor, and I didn't say that I was asked to serve you!" ”
"Smack" Ling Jieyu slapped the table and stood up and pointed at her and said, "Bold, you are just a maid sent in by King Ye, and you dare to call yourself me, and now this palace orders you to make tea for this palace!" ”
Yuexi didn't want to do much, so she turned around and went to make tea, but she scolded Yun Zichen in her heart, went to see the minister by herself, and left her here to be angry with his concubine, making tea, right, I'm afraid that I have the courage to soak you and not drink it!
Not long after, Yuexi brought a pot of tea to Ling Jieyu, and said respectfully: "Jieyu, please drink tea!" ”
Ling Jieyu saw that she was respectful and humble, and she didn't embarrass her, she took a sip of tea and spit it out, slammed the cup and said loudly: "What did you put in the tea?" ”
Yuexi looked innocent: "Chili powder! I see that Jieyu is so angry, I must like to eat chili peppers, so I specially added it for you! It's still very spicy, I'm doing it well! After saying that, he smiled sweetly!
Ling Jieyu looked around for water, and finally found a pot of cold tea left over from the morning on the desk next to her, and she didn't care much, so she drank half a pot of goo, and then felt that the spicy taste in her mouth was much better! Then he walked up to Yuexi angrily, raised his hand and was about to hit her, Yuexi bent down and dodged it, Ling Jieyu was even more angry and said: "Bold slave maid, play the palace again and again, come on, drag her down and beat the thirty boards!" ”
Yuexi smiled very sweetly and said, "I was specially assigned by Prince Ye to take care of the emperor, I'll see who dares to touch me!" ”
"What about the one sent in by Prince Ye, I am the most favored concubine in the harem, can't even you be a little maid?"
"Movement is moving, but you can't afford the consequences of moving me!"
Ling Jieyu hooked her lips and chuckled: "This palace wants to see what the consequences are!" Come on, drag it down! ”
Yuexi didn't resist, just said: "Drag it, drag it, but Ling Jieyu, if you beat me, I'll have to pay it back ten times!" ”
"Hehe, who wouldn't talk big! This palace wants to see who can save you today! Come on, drag it down and hit the thirty boards, and then cut her tongue, this palace wants to see how she threatens this palace with her sharp teeth! At this time, what Yuexi said was in Ling Jieyu's eyes, and she was dying and scaring her!
Yun Zichen handled the government affairs, and instructed Gonggong Jiang to go to the imperial dining room to get a few exquisite dim sums, thinking about the dim sum, and when Yuexi saw the dim sum, he was happy when he saw the dim sum, so he took three steps and made two steps back to the Ziwei Palace, and as soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw Yuexi lying on the ground, and the eunuch on the side raised the board to beat down, and his frightened heart was about to jump out.
When the board was about to go down, Yun Zichen yelled: "Stop!" ”
The board was still two inches away from Yuexi before it could stop, Yun Zichen threw down things, ran over and kicked away the eunuch holding the board, picked up Yuexi, looked up and down, and asked while looking: "Yuexi, how are you?" Is it scary? Did he just hit you? ”
Yuexi looked at him and remembered that Ling Jieyu said that she was the most favored person in the harem just now, and she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't speak, she just shook her head!
Seeing that she was fine, Yun Zichen loudly asked the eunuch on the side: "What's the matter, who asked you to beat her?" I don't think you want to live! ”
The eunuch knelt on the ground in fright, trembling all over, and said tremblingly, "Yes...... It's Ling Jieyu, Ling Jieyu said...... said that she offended herself, let the minions beat her thirty boards, the emperor atoned for her sins, and the minions just acted according to orders! ”
Yun Zichen asked Yuexi gently: "Why did she beat you?" ”
"I don't know, as soon as she came in, she said she wanted to see you, I said that you were not there, there was something important I could convey for her, but she said that I was not qualified to do it for her, and asked me to make tea for her, I said that I was sent by Prince Ye to take care of you, I didn't say that I had to make tea for her, who knew that she was angry, I didn't want to cause trouble, so I soaked her, and she was so bad that she wanted to beat me! I told her not to hit me, but she wouldn't listen! ”
Yun Zichen helped her comb her somewhat messy broken hair and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll avenge you!" So saying, he took her hand and wanted to go in!
Yuexi broke away and said, "No need, she is the most favored person in your harem, don't punish her for hurting you!" ”
"That's what she said?"
Yuexi turned her head to look at him, Yun Zichen turned to look at herself with her face in both hands, and then said: "The people in my harem say this in front of strangers, because the newcomers don't know the truth, they will naturally say this for the sake of face!" But the conscience of heaven and earth, I just want to spoil you! ”
Yuexi broke free of him and went in first, who knew that Ling Jieyu, who had just stepped into the door, saw her coming back intact, she was angry, and slapped the table: "What a big courage, this palace will punish you, you still dare to resist, what about Xiao Dengzi, what did you do to him?" ”
"He? He was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up! ”
"You hit? I'm really not afraid of death, when this harem is the Ye Palace, it is a place where you can go wild at will? ”
"I didn't beat me, don't wronged people!"
"Who is so lawless?" Ling Jieyu gritted her teeth and said, it seems that after Yuexi said who it was, she was going to fight with that person!
"It's me, does Concubine Ai have an opinion?" The word concubine Yun Zichen said extremely hard
Yuexi also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's him, he beat the eunuch next to you lawlessly, you beat him!" ”
Ling Jieyu ignored Yuexi, and just squatted down and saluted: "The concubines participate in the emperor, and the emperor is Jin'an!" "The voice is soft and weak, I really feel sorry for it!
After Yun Zichen pulled Yuexi to sit down together, he glanced at Ling Jieyu who was squatting, and saw the broken teacup on the ground, and became even more angry, he didn't let Yuexi make tea a few times, let alone drop the cup! said coldly: "Concubine Ai is really majestic, she smashed cups and beat people in my palace, and those who don't know think that the entire palace is yours!" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare, it's really this cheap maid who is disrespectful, so the concubine admonishes her!"
"Insulting? Yuexi has always dared to say and do in front of me, why is she disrespectful in front of her concubine? Is there something wrong with the concubine? "The implication is that she has always been good in front of me, and it was you who did something wrong that provoked her to speak disrespectfully!
"The concubine didn't dare, the concubine just asked her to make a pot of tea, but she put chili powder in the teapot, the concubine was really angry and said a few words to her, who knew that she not only didn't listen, but also said that she was sent by Prince Ye, no one is qualified to say her, I was so angry and beat her!"
Paprika? Yuexi didn't say that there was chili powder just now, and raised her eyes to look at Yuexi beside her, but Yuexi said innocently: "I'm for her good, chili pepper is not only appetizing and helps digestion, but also beautifying and nourishing the skin, and the cold weather can also ward off the cold!" ”
Seeing her serious appearance, Yun Zichen couldn't help but want to laugh, but his majesty had to endure here
"Cough, so Miss Yuexi is also thinking about Concubine Ai, Concubine Ai can't help but appreciate it, and punish her, it's really sad to my heart!"
Ling Jieyu raised her head pitifully and pitifully compared to the two of them when she quarreled with Yuexi just now, I saw Yun Zichen looking at her pitifully and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is also in a hurry!" ”
"Enough, I don't want to listen, come on, Ling Jieyu will wantonly beat and scold her, and verbally abuse Princess Ye's sister, demoted to Ronghua, and thought about it behind closed doors for a month!"
Ling Ronghua cried and shouted that the emperor took back his life, Yun Zichen didn't want to hear her more, so he dragged her away!
Looking at the person who was dragged away, Yuexi couldn't bear to say a little: "Your Majesty, this punishment is too heavy, right?" ”
"It's not heavy, who made her bold and wanted to hit you!"
"But I also teased her first!"
"Then I don't care, whoever dares to beat you will have to bear the consequences of beating you!"
Yuexi was silent for a while and asked in a low voice, "Are you a faint king?" ”
"That's also fascinated by you!"
"You're just a bad face!"
Yun Zichen squinted his eyes and said with a slight threat: "You are not small, you dare to scold me, see how I clean you up!" ”
Saying that, he stretched out his hands towards Yuexi, Yuexi dodged it at once, and the two started fighting again! The laughter spread far away, and when Father-in-law Jiang heard the laughter inside, he was also happy, the emperor has not been so happy for a long time, this Yuexi girl is really the emperor's pistachio!
