Chapter 53: Giving Tea
Ginkgo came to Ling Xi's side with a worried look, she glanced at Ling Xi, as if she had something to say, but in the end she stood silently beside her.
"Did it get to Your Majesty?" Ling Xi asked.
"It's delivered, Your Majesty's face is ugly. When the slave maid came back just now, His Majesty had already returned to the Flying Feather Hall angrily, and it is estimated that if you don't admit your mistake, Your Majesty will not return to this Qingfeng Garden. Ginkgo muttered quietly.
Ling Xi couldn't help but snicker, sure enough, Xiang Hongxuan figured it out, it is estimated that this time Long Yan will be angry in the Flying Feather Palace.
"Queen Mother, you can still laugh, no matter how good your chess skills are, you can't win Your Majesty, and if you win, you will win, why are you teasing Your Majesty, Your Majesty is unhappy, and Niangniang will be angry with Your Majesty. It's good for you, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty doesn't know that you're teasing him, but now it's okay, Your Majesty is furious, and I don't know how to punish Niangniang. ”
"It's a big deal, go back to the dilapidated Jiaofang Palace, how can Your Majesty still abolish the palace." Ling Xi said with a hippie smile.
"My queen mother, you can't let Your Majesty, I've never seen you play chess like this."
"Your Majesty's chess skills are not good, if your Majesty is happy, it is estimated that Your Majesty will come to this palace to play chess in the future, then it will be dangerous. The palace has to be careful in everything, if the loss is too obvious, His Majesty should suspect that the palace is perfunctory to him, if it is a tie, the difficulty is too great, Ginkgo, the palace is too difficult, accompany His Majesty to play chess, how much brain does the palace have to spend, this kind of thing is still those former ministers are better at. Ling Xi said with some grievances.
"Queen Mother, you don't have to be embarrassed now, you offended Your Majesty, Your Majesty has only pampered you for a few days, I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't want to see you recently." Ginkgo said helplessly.
"Oh, that's just right, this palace is idle for a few days."
Ling Xi picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a leisurely sip, this southern tribute tea is still delicious, since living in this Qingfeng Pavilion, how much Xiang Hongxuan uses, how she is, originally Ling Xi thought that the queen's treatment was already top-notch, but he didn't expect Xiang Hongxuan to have a grade.
Suddenly, Xiao Dezi walked into the house quickly, followed by a group of little eunuchs, who seemed to be holding trays in their hands.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty ordered the servants to send something to the Queen Mother."
Saying that, Xiao Dezi glanced at the attendants behind him, and they all walked up to Ling Xi's eyes, and raised the tray in their hands above their heads to offer it to Ling Xi. Xiao Dezi came to these chamberlains and began to explain to Ling Xi.
"Queen Mother, the first plate is the bitter gourd slices rewarded by His Majesty, Your Majesty said that the bitter gourd can dissipate heat and relieve the heat, the second cup is the bitter tea rewarded by Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that it can clear the heat and remove the fire, and the third bowl is the bitter lotus seed heart rewarded by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty said that the bitter lotus seed can calm your mind."
Ling Xi looked at the things in the inner attendant's hand, and she couldn't help but laugh again.
"I'm tired of my father-in-law. Ginkgo is not yet ready to accept His Majesty's reward. ”
Ginkgo called Qin'er and Xin'er to hurriedly take over the bitter things in the hands of these attendants one by one, Ginkgo thought to herself, what does this mean to Hongxuan? Could it be that he was planning to die a bitter death for Ling Xi? If this is a punishment, it seems acceptable.
Xiao Dezi didn't leave immediately, he looked at Ling Xi, as if Ling Xi didn't have anything to say, he was a little troubled.
"Queen, don't you have anything to say? Isn't there anything for the minions to bring back to the Flying Feather Palace? Xiao Dezi asked tentatively.
When he left the Flying Feather Palace, Xiang Hongxuan was instructed to carefully observe Ling Xi's expression, and he also wanted to bring back Ling Xi's reply. Ling Xi didn't say a word, and he didn't make any moves, how could he go back to his life?
Xiao Dezi has served him by Xiang Hongxuan's side since he was a child, and today Xiang Hongxuan is really unhappy, and he has been sulking since he returned to the Flying Feather Palace, he doesn't want to touch the dragon scales and make Xiang Hongxuan unhappy. If Ling Xi couldn't give Xiang Hongxuan a satisfactory reply, it was estimated that Qingfeng Yuan would not be doing much, and the Flying Feather Hall would have to explode.
As soon as Ling Xi heard this, she seemed to understand something, she paced up in the room, and suddenly she smiled lightly.
"Ginkgo, go get some snacks for your father-in-law to take back to the Flying Feather Palace." After hearing this, Ginkgo hurriedly went to fill a box of snacks.
"My father-in-law has worked." Ling Xi said politely.
Ginkgo handed the food box to Xiao Dezi's eyes, and Xiao Dezi immediately took the food box. Although he didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the emperor was playing, anyway, the task was finally completed, and he could go back to his life. Xiao Dezi walked out of Qingfeng Garden with cheerful steps and rushed towards the Flying Feather Palace.
After a while, Xiang Hongxuan returned to Qingfeng Yuan in a hurry, and Ling Xi could see the smug smile on Xiang Hongxuan's face from afar.
"The queen's pastries are delicious, they are all sweet to the heart." Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi with a doting expression.
"But Your Majesty's bitterness is hard to swallow."
Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the things on the coffee table, and it was obvious that Ling Xi didn't move.
"The queen didn't move, how do you know that the bitterness is hard to swallow." Xiang Hongxuan said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Because the concubine knows His Majesty's heart and empathizes." Ling Xi slowly approached Xiang Hongxuan, and Xiang Hongxuan pulled her closer to his arms.
"Then the queen should taste it even more to know how bitter my heart is, so that she can empathize."
After saying that, Xiang Hongxuan picked up a bitter lotus seed heart and was about to send it to Ling Xi's mouth, but Ling Xi turned around and fled from Xiang Hongxuan's arms. She frowned as soon as she saw the bitter thing, and suddenly Ling Xi's eyes rolled, and she said, "Your Majesty, why don't we gamble on books, how about losing people to suffer bitter things?" ”
"Gambling books? How to gamble? ”
Xiang Hongxuan walked to the side and sat down. He suddenly became interested, he hadn't heard of books to gamble,
"It's the concubine who says a poem, Your Majesty not only has to say the name of the poem, but also the source, how about it, Your Majesty plays?" Ling Xi asked Xiang Hongxuan provocatively.
Xiang Hongxuan's eyebrows are frivolous, he has been reading poetry since he was a child, can he be afraid of Ling Xi? Ginkgo slowly came to Xiang Hongxuan's side, respectfully offered a bowl of tea, Xiang Hongxuan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, came to the table and sat down, and said confidently: "Queen, you ask the question first." ”
Ling Xi also came to Xiang Hongxuan's side and sat down, she thought for a while, and said, "BMW carved car."
The road is full of incense, the sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. Does Your Majesty know that this is the first word? ”
Xiang Hongxuan slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand with a thoughtful expression. This poem is obviously talking about the love between men and women, it is conceivable that this is a story of love at first sight, from the rhetoric, the poet's words are not gorgeous, and there is no delicate to pretentious wording, Xiang Hongxuan really doesn't know which poet wrote love words.
"The queen won't make her own words." Xiang Hongxuan asked suspiciously.
Xiang Hongxuan thinks that he has read a lot of poetry books, especially the poet who writes love words like this, he can be regarded as knowing it, but there is indeed no such poem in his knowledge.
"This poem is called Yuan Xi, written by a military general, a blood-stained battlefield, a general with the glory of the horse leather shroud, writing such a love poem, this is originally an amazing poem, Your Majesty, don't you say?"
Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand, the waiters brought the bitter tea, and after the waiters carefully tested the poison, they served the bitter tea to Xiang Hongxuan's hand, and Xiang Hongxuan drank it in one gulp, his expression was a little hideous, but soon Xiang Hongxuan leaked a smile.
"I am willing to gamble and lose, I also have a poem, the queen guess where it comes from?" After speaking, Xiang Hongxuan got up and paced in the house, and said softly: "The ancient rivers and mountains are uncertain, and in the sound of the horn, the horses come and go frequently. Who can speak of desolation? ”
Ling Xi's heart also muttered, this poem is obviously talking about the battlefield, the available words are a little desolate, the poems written on the battlefield in her memory are all magnificent, how can there be such a somewhat resentful atmosphere, she really can't remember which poet's masterpiece this is for a while.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has lost. Which word is this? Ling Xi said helplessly.
"This poem is called out of the plug, it was written by a merry and talented man, a Wenchen who is good at writing love words, and he has a battlefield in his heart, even if the rhetoric is resentful, it is also magnificent, and it is even more commendable, isn't it?"
Ling Xiwan smiled, she said a general's love words, and Xiang Hongxuan replied to a literati's battlefield words, which is indeed reasonable.
"Your Majesty, you say, these two words, do they have affection in their hearts and a battlefield in their writings, or do they have a battlefield in their hearts and have affection in their writings?" Ling Xi asked with some reluctance.
"Or maybe they all have it, that's why they write such unforgettable poems."
Xiang Hongxuan came to Ling Xi, he looked at Ling Xi affectionately, and took Ling Xi's hand with one hand, and stroked it in the palm of his hand repeatedly.
Ling Xi picked up a bitter lotus seed heart and put it in her mouth, and a dose of bitterness quickly spread in her mouth, but a sweet smile hung on her face.
"It's so bitter." Ling Xi muttered. She picked up the snack on the plate casually, and was about to put it in her mouth, when Xiang Hongxuan leaned over and bit into the pastry.
"Your Majesty, the chamberlain has not yet tested the poison."
Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan blankly, she didn't expect Xiang Hongxuan to eat the snacks in her hands coldly, according to the rules of the palace, no matter where Xiang Hongxuan is, what he eats and drinks must be tested by the inner servants before Xiang Hongxuan can do so
Eat, it is obvious that Xiang Hongxuan told her with actions that in her, he is not afraid of death.
"It's so sweet."
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi, who was a little hesitant, he took the rest of the snack in Ling Xi's hand, and just put it to his mouth, suddenly Ling Xi also probed over, she bit a small half of the snack, looked at Xiang Hongxuan with a smile, Xiang Hongxuan swallowed the snack in one bite, and inadvertently, kissed with Ling Xi.
"Ahh
"Queen, don't you know that my dragon body can't be damaged?" Xiang Hongxuan said a little angrily.
"Your Majesty, where is it hurt? Your Majesty doesn't want to wronged your concubines, Your Majesty's body is intact, why don't you let the ministers see where Your Majesty is injured? Ling Xi said with a wicked smile.
Xiang Hongxuan smiled bitterly, the mouth of the Emperor of the Blue Sky and White Sun was broken by the queen, he dared to do this, and he didn't dare to say it to the outside world, as soon as Xiang Hongxuan raised his hand, he pulled Ling Xi into his arms again.
"Queen, you've been getting bolder lately." Saying that, Xiang Hongxuan's mouth covered Ling Xi's lips again, as if time had stood still, and the palace people didn't dare to squeak, except for Xiao Dezi, who broke into the house very inappropriately.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu sent someone to invite you over." Xiao Dezi is afraid that he has taken out the courage of his life before he dares to speak.
Xiang Hongxuan left Ling Xi's lips with some unfinished thoughts, his hand was still caressing Ling Xi's fair face, looking at Ling Xi intently, as if there was nothing else in his eyes.
"Tell Concubine Shu that I will go later."
Ling Xi got up and left Xiang Hongxuan's arms with some displeasure, she picked up the pastries in the food box and put them in her mouth, looking thoughtful.
Xiang Hongxuan saw that Ling Xi seemed to be jealous, smiled slightly, and immediately explained: "Concubine Shu has been in a bad mood recently, her body has not been cultivated well, and she likes to make trouble, I just go to see her, and I will come to the queen tomorrow and continue to gamble with the queen." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine understands." Ling Xi smiled at Xiang Hongxuan and said magnanimously.
As soon as Xiang Hongxuan heard this, his heart and face blossomed, and he left Qingfeng Garden with satisfaction, Ginkgo looked at Xiang Hongxuan's departing back, and complained a little about Ling Xilai.
"Queen Niangniang, how many times has this been, Concubine Niangniang sends someone to call His Majesty away every once in a while, it's too unruly, you don't care."
Ling Xi didn't seem to hear Ginkgo's words, she picked up the snack from the food box and put it in her mouth. The queen has to be generous, she can't stop Xiang Hongxuan from going to Xiyan Palace, nor can she stop Xiang Hongxuan from pampering other palace concubines, this is the queen's mission and her life.
Ling Xi thought of the somewhat bloody kiss with Xiang Hongxuan just now, maybe retreat and live in Xiang Hongxuan's heart forever, which is also a kind of happiness, and inadvertently a sweet smile leaked from her face.
"It's so sweet." She muttered.
