Chapter 189: The Singer
Tang Jingchen only said this, and then stopped, and brought the cold noodles with hot and sour chicken shreds to eat in front of him, while saying: "It's delicious, the emperor is worried about the idea of the concubine's hobby, and the concubine is grateful." ”
She never mentioned the matter of the cold palace again, did not mention the sufferings she had suffered, did not confide, did not cry, and did not make a fuss about punishing anyone, but the emperor was moved.
He smiled and said: "After you like to eat, let the kitchen often cook for you, write down whatever you want to eat, and let the imperial dining room cook for you one by one, not the same every day." ”
Tang Jingchen put down his chopsticks and looked at the emperor seriously, "That's not possible, not to mention that there are no such rules, even if there is, the concubines can't eat by their temperament, and they look ugly when they look at their clothes, if they are disliked by you, it will be worth the loss." ”
The emperor laughed, "I don't think you're fat, okay?" ”
"The emperor is a golden mouth, and he can't change it anymore." As Tang Jingchen spoke, he instructed the eunuch, "You go and get a pen and paper, and the palace will write down what the emperor said." ”
The emperor was stunned, "What do you want to write?" ”
Tang Jingchen pursed his lips and glanced at him coquettishly, "I forgot what you just said, you said that you don't dislike the fat concubine, the concubine doesn't have to write it down, if you look back, the concubine will take it out for you." ”
The emperor was speechless, and he instinctively thought that she was going to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, but who knew that she had made such a lovely move.
He shook his head dotingly, "You." ”
After eating, the rain didn't mean to stop, Tang Jingchen couldn't help but be a little anxious, "It's not easy to walk with such a heavy rain, there is water on the road." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, it's okay to go back to the palace anyway, the heavy rain blocked the path, and I stole half a day's leisure." The emperor said the first half of the sentence to Tang Jingchen, but later instructed the eunuch, "Go and let the sect department come to a few people, play the piano and listen to a tune, which can be regarded as relieving boredom." ”
The emperor was so interested, and the people of the Teaching Workshop Division did not dare to refuse, and came over in the rain, a guqin, a jade flute and a pipa, played with a dingdong dong, and the sound of the wind and rain was particularly good.
Tang Jingchen listened quietly.
The rain, I don't know when it stopped, suddenly came a beautiful singing voice in the distance, at first I didn't hear it clearly, only heard the voice tactful and delicate, it was a young woman, and gradually the voice was getting closer and closer.
The emperor couldn't help but go to the window, and saw a woman in white gauze holding a small boat, while driving leisurely on the lake while singing, her singing combined with the fresh air after the rain, like a new flower on the branches, which made people feel pity.
Tang Jingchen's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, the drama of the harem woman seducing the emperor was repeatedly refreshed, and this time this one was creative.
Seeing that she was not like a palace maid, but she was not a concubine she knew, Tang Jingchen couldn't help but think about her identity in her heart.
The woman is getting closer and closer, her face is faintly visible, her slender waist is not full of hand, and her small face is only the size of a lotus petal, reflecting the blue waves of the lake and the lotus leaves on the surface of the lake.
"Who's that?" The Emperor couldn't help but ask.
When the eunuch heard the question, he hurriedly trotted to the bridge, "The holy car is here, who dares to disturb it?" ”
The woman on the boat immediately knelt down, and her demeanor became more and more pitiful, "Your Majesty, the concubine Zhang Chuyao, is a show girl who was newly elected to the palace not long ago, and she was sealed by the emperor's grace. ”
Her voice was carried by the wind along the water, and it was very tactful and beautiful.
The emperor pondered for a moment, "Zhang Chuyao, I remember that there is indeed such a woman, I heard that you have been sick since you entered the palace, because you have never been able to sleep with the holy servant, and now you are sicker?" ”
Zhang Chuyao raised her head, her big eyes flashed with excitement, "Thanks to the emperor's inquiry, the concubine's illness has been much better, and it is precisely because of her illness that she wants to come out for a walk, I don't want to disturb the emperor, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Tang Jingchen couldn't help but sneer secretly, what nonsense, the emperor and the king of Jiangnan were here early in the morning, and they had lunch here with him at noon, because of a heavy rain that was delayed for so long, it is estimated that there is nothing in the palace that he does not know.
This Zhang Chuyao also said that he was so innocent, he didn't have to think about it to know that he was a good hand who was keen to compete for favor in Gong Dou.
The emperor doesn't think much about all this, the emperors of all dynasties seem to be like this, even if the harem fights in the dark and the concubines die scattered, they never doubt it, anyway, every three years draft, there is a steady stream of fresh blood to replenish.
At this time, she also remembered who this Zhang Chu Yao was, twelve were selected in the previous draft, but only eleven were selected these days, and this is the one who has been sick.
It seems that he has been waiting for the emperor to meet the emperor for a long time, and this thought is not in vain, and the time is just right today.
"You come up and speak." The emperor commanded.
Zhang Chuyao was overjoyed, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, walked slowly along the stone steps, and walked slowly down the stone steps, one step at a time, weak and graceful, not to mention the emperor, Tang Jingchen was a little moved when he saw it.
"The concubines see the emperor." Zhang Chuyao's voice is delicate, and her smiling and shy appearance is very eye-catching.
The emperor seemed to be fascinated by her, and he looked at her, and they were very entangled with each other, which couldn't help but make Tang Jingchen feel very redundant.
"Now that you have been sealed, you will need to be by my side all the time." The emperor said to Zhang Chuyao with a smile.
Zhang Chuyao became more and more shy and didn't know what to do, so she responded with a low "yes" for a while.
Tang Jingchen was too lazy to watch, seeing that the emperor's eyes and heart were all about Zhang Chuyao, who suddenly appeared, she left quietly, and the little nobleman followed closely behind her, "Niangniang, do you want the slave to help you pass the steps?" ”
"No, it's just rained, the air is very fresh, and it's good to take a walk in this palace." Tang Jingchen looked at Xiao Guizi, "You hurry up and go back to serve the emperor." ”
The little nobleman said: "Don't be sad, the women around the emperor come and go, and the slaves look at you coldly, he is most attentive to you." ”
"Huh." Tang Jingchen chuckled, "Your father-in-law, don't say that, this palace is just an ordinary concubine in the harem, and you can't afford this." ”
She didn't say this because she was angry, but she really thought so, everyone in the harem has a belly of conspiracy and calculation, everyone has endless means, and there is such a great god as the Queen Mother behind the scenes, how dare she come out easily.
In the pavilion behind him, Zhang Chuyao's graceful and soft singing voice was heard, and it was obvious that Emperor Fang Cai hadn't heard enough.
A smile appeared on his lips, and Tang Jingchen left slowly.
The rain seemed to be about to fall again, but she didn't want to find a place to shelter from the rain, let alone walk back to the palace quickly, but just wandered around slowly until the raindrops wet her whole body.
The rain was so good that it was hard to see if it was rain or tears on your face.
