Chapter 6: Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, Ningxi walked to Qianyun Tower, and changed places to bask in the sun when he had nothing to do.
Since taking over the palace affairs of the harem, now that she is doing it more and more easily, she has lost the resistance she had before, and with such a little power in her hands, she can still hold her sister.
"Poria, go and tell Chai Ruyi that people are not saints and sages, and this palace is not unforgiving, but if there is a next time, heh, let him weigh things up by himself."
In Yongfu Palace, Chai Ruyi is still waiting for the concubine to return to the palace, and has been hung for so long Chai Ruyi's heart is becoming more and more unsound, to say that this concubine is still young, and she heard the harem people say that she is kind, but yesterday, this master is afraid that it is not the so-called kindness as shown on the surface.
"Sister Poria is back!"
"Father-in-law Chai, the mother is still eating in the palace of the Queen Mother, this is not listening to Father-in-law Chai, so I specially sent a slave to tell you."
Poria naturally repeated her master's words, and fell in love with Chai Ruyi.
"But what the master said?"
"But it's the master's exact words."
Looking at the look on Poria's face, Chai Ruyi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the two had a polite conversation before Chai Ruyi left.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Chai Ruyi left, Ningxi returned to the palace with Forsythia.
Poria served the freshly brewed tea and asked with a smile, "Niangniang, did you come back at the right time?" ”
Ningxi took a sip and gave her an appreciative look, Look, you can serve tea as soon as your master returns to the palace.
"Tell the kitchenette to get a pot to eat at night."
She has never eaten this bite since she returned to the capital from the northwest, and she suddenly panicked today.
Pure Heart Temple
"Father-in-law Wan, what do you say our concubine is doing now?"
Gonggong Wan looked at the hourglass, at this hour, the little master was afraid that he was thinking about dinner, but he didn't dare to speak, "If you go back to the emperor, Niangniang is afraid that she is dealing with palace affairs?" ”
"Palace affairs?" That tone, as if Ningxi was dealing with palace affairs would be a ridiculous thing.
Xiao Chengyan smiled, Father-in-law Wan, this old slippery head.
"Let's go, go to Yongfu Palace!"
Why did the emperor become so disgusted as soon as he met the concubine.
However, if this man has an interest in women, it will be out of control.
Xiao Chengyan went to the little girl to tease this little girl, remembering the girl's performance when she first entered the palace, how did General Chen's family teach such a little fox, hum, pretend!
When Xiao Chengyan arrived at Yongfu Palace, Ningxi was choosing tonight's shabu-shabu in the small kitchen, and the days when he sat around and ate pot with his father and mother and three younger brothers in the northwest in the past are really nostalgic!
It's been half a year since A-Niang sent a letter home, and it's time to calculate that your little brother or little sister should be born.
"The emperor is auspicious!"
Ningxi raised his eyes and saw that the man was wearing a dragon robe, lifting the small door curtain with one hand and holding the other behind his back, standing there.
This person has been sick recently, why does he come to her palace from time to time. After waiting for a while to see that the man was still standing, Ningxi accepted his fate, put down the basin in his hand, and did not ask for peace, thinking that it would not be bad to ask the dog emperor for peace all day long.
"Why did the emperor come to the palace of his concubines at this hour?"
Xiao Chengyan saw that she was finally willing to take care of herself, and she didn't speak, watching people fetch water for her to clean her hands.
After waiting to dry it, Xiao Chengyan led her out of the small kitchen, "I didn't expect that the concubine would be able to cook." ”
"Miss Shijia who hasn't cooked yet, besides, I go to the kitchen and talk a lot, and there are not many who really need me to do it."
Ningxi was led by the two of them all the way to the palace, this person has always taken the initiative to lead himself recently, and the number of times he has come to Yongfu Palace has become more and more frequent, Ningxi frowned, it stands to reason that the harem has entered a newcomer, and the dog emperor should not look for him to go to the gentle township, he always comes here to wander around if he has nothing to do.
What to do? I really want to pick up people!
"This is going to eat the pot tonight?"
"The emperor will also stay and eat together." In the spirit of the crowd, Ningxi decided to keep the dog emperor.
After Xiao Chengyan responded, Ningxi couldn't help but regret a little, let him stay, Forsythia and the others naturally didn't dare to eat together, wouldn't it be just the two of them together, more interesting!
Xiao Chengyan saw the remorse in her eyes, and took out a letter from her cuff, "General Chen's fold has arrived today, and there is a letter in it." ”
Epistle? Could it be that A-Niang gave birth!
"Did A-Niang give birth to me a brother or sister?"
When Xiao Chengyan heard this, this girl didn't think that he had opened the letter, "This is what your father wrote to you, how dare I open it privately." ”
Ningxi happily took the letter and opened it directly, the smile was rare, "I have a brother again!" ”
I have a younger brother again~
Xiao Chengyan sighed softly and prayed for himself and his little brother who was far away in the northwest.
"Daddy and Auntie have been looking forward to being a little girl, but there is another boy, and Daddy is disappointed."
General Chen was naturally angry when he heard that his wife had added a male baby, and when he thought that the only baby had entered the palace and became a concubine, he felt even more uncomfortable, so most of the excerpts in this pass were for the emperor.
General Chen's mood now is rough: Lao Tzu has been a daughter for more than ten years, let you enter the palace without saying a word, and Lao Tzu can't have too obvious complaints here.
Xiao Chengyan clearly understands that his country still depends on his father-in-law, General Chen, to defend it, and it is difficult for a military general to be his father-in-law. The reply also showed his attitude: I will never let the concubine suffer a little grievance in the harem.
Of course, your daughter's temperament will not be able to suffer in my harem, and Xiao Chengyan can only hold back his own complaints. Because at present, this girl is still playing with pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I am afraid that this girl's fangs are too powerful at once.
Ningxi sat down and read A-Niang's letter back and forth a few times, thinking that she would write a reply before dinner.
took out the letter paper, and was about to pick up the pen, when he saw Xiao Chengyan sitting honestly on the side, he was really stable, and he didn't see anyone writing a letter, so he didn't take the initiative to avoid it.
Ningxi was a little annoyed, can the lord of a country have some eyesight, "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to peek at my mother's private conversations!" ”
Joke, doesn't this girl think that her faith is not enough?
Xiao Chengyan looked at some of the books on the desk, picked up the top book that Ningxi often reads, and motioned to her and said, "I'm sitting here and reading this, not reading your reply." ”
Everyone said that they wouldn't read, and Ningxi didn't speak, but only snorted, and complained in his heart: It's annoying, pick up the pen and start writing.
In the evening, Ningxi ate the pot as she wished, although there was only her and the Dog Emperor, and the atmosphere was not in place, but the Dog Emperor's service to her could be said to have reached the point where she could be given a five-star praise.
Xiao Chengyan didn't know why, obviously he was a person who was afraid of trouble before, and he would avoid it when the eldest prince asked him to hug him in the past, but after meeting this little girl, she could bear it even if she gave herself more trouble.
Recently, I often come to Yongfu Palace, and it is more and more convenient to serve and eat, and this little girl is even more unambiguous when he instructs him.
"Why are you waking up so early this morning?" Xiao Chengyan looked at Ningxi who came out of the quilt and was a little surprised.
It's also a strange thing to say, the concubine Niangniang, who has been in the palace for more than a year, has been resting in her palace for a while, and she didn't start moving until the emperor left, and today suddenly the people next to her moved, and she also got up.
Not only did he get up today, but he also served the emperor to dress with his own hands.
Not to mention that the emperor looked incredible, even the servant Wan Gonggong felt at a loss, this concubine is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, isn't the harem going to change!
Ningxi accompanied the emperor to have some breakfast, and stood at the gate of the palace to send people to the morning court.
Seeing the emperor disappear from sight, Poria helped her master and asked, "Master, do you want to go and sleep in the cage!" ”
Ningxi yawned and shook her head, she is not happy to lie back to her good sister for a few days, she has nothing to do on the line, and said that the harem woman obeys the rules, "I finally got up early, how can I lie down, and go to the queen sister to say goodbye today." ”
She didn't want to show it to those people who chewed her tongue in the harem, she wanted to show it to her sister.
"Our master finally got up early, can he not give the queen mother eye medicine and be angry with her for a few days."
As soon as Forsythia finished speaking, he got a roll of the eyes of Ningxi, "Just your poor spirit, see that you are so good, go and pamper your master's treasury!" ”
As soon as she heard that she had been assigned such a difficult task, Forsythia really wanted to give herself a mouth a few seconds ago, so that you could talk more and make you laugh at the master.
Yong'an Palace
This is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the new year, and the concubines saw that the noble concubine was sitting in the queen's palace drinking tea in the morning, and looking at the huge difference in the face of the one on the throne, the two sisters were afraid that they were secretly fighting again.
Concubine Liu suppressed her smile and sat down.
"All the sisters are here today, and there is something to discuss with you in this palace."
Ningxi lowered her head when she heard the word "consultation", she always said it nicely, and she had nothing to do all day long!
"This is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, the previous emperor came to tell the palace about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the palace selfishly thought that our sisters could take this opportunity to get together, reminiscence, today I want to ask the sisters how we will have a lively dinner, what are your good ideas?"
After listening to the queen's words, Concubine Liu Shu sneered in her heart, I'm afraid that the emperor didn't come up to propose it to her, the day before yesterday, the maid beside her said that the emperor didn't set foot in the harem at all, and the Chen family really didn't know what to think of and let the gentle and graceful Miss Chen Si not send it, but just got a straw bag.
exchanged glances with Concubine Liu Shu in private, and said: "Sister, if you want the concubine to say that this banquet is both lively and warm, I am afraid that the sisters have not seen their families for a long time when they enter the palace." ”
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, it is difficult to have a banquet for the concubines' families, but if that person had a brain, he would not have this experience today, and the two concubines nodded secretly.
Ningxi didn't expect everyone to really move the queen in a few words, and drank two sips of tea to suppress the words that came to her heart, this Liu Shufei didn't know what the hell was going to do.
