Chapter 36: Arriving at the Imperial Palace
The Dog Emperor looked at him, looked at me, and said with a smile: "The Empress and General Fu are really alike." ”
????
I just finished scolding him for being stupid, and I didn't really want to admit that I was like him.
"General Fu, you might as well stay in Beijing for a little longer, if you like any famous lady, I will personally advise you to marry." He smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at me, "It's okay to forget about the queen's business." ”
Talk as you talk, take me to whatever you do.
Although it did end up with a matter on my mind.
The third brother was obviously stunned for a while, then clenched his fists and gave a standard military salute, "Your Majesty, the minister has no admiring woman, and there are no plans to start a family at present, I just want to guard the rivers and mountains, serve the court, and serve Your Majesty!" ”
It's a very standard monarch-style Q&A.
"General Fu's loyalty is deep in my heart. In this case, the queen, you don't have to force General Fu. ”
???
Well?
What's the matter, I've let you say it, I'm not a human being inside and out.
I helplessly held my forehead, "If there is nothing else, General Fu will go down." ”
The third brother relaxed instantly, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the minister retires." He turned his horse's head and ran away.
I'm left alone to face this tricky dog.
His Majesty sat opposite me with one hand on his leg, and gently tapped the table with the other, looking at me with a cheap smile, "The queen hurriedly transferred General Fu away...... Do you want to be alone with me so much? ”
How did this person manage to be in the same carriage with Concubine Li on the front foot, kiss me and me, and run to me on the back foot to be indecent?
"Your Majesty, the concubine can't speak, the concubine just saw Concubine Li enter your carriage, you can go back to find Concubine Li and accompany you."
"It turns out that the queen ......," he said, very consciously, took out an upside-down teacup, and poured a cup of tea from the teapot next to him to drink, "It's jealous." ”
Can I take him down? How could I possibly be jealous?
As soon as he finished speaking, he brought the teacup to his lips and frowned after taking a sip. Staring at the tea in displeasure.
What's wrong? Why didn't you give this big Buddha to serve and understand?
He put the teacup on the table, "Why does the queen still drink old tea?" ”
He was stunned and answered truthfully, "If you drink new tea every day, how much will it cost?" And the concubine didn't think there was anything wrong with this old tea, it was delicious. ”
He frowned, folded his arms in contemplation, and looked at the cup of tea in front of him. Suddenly, he commanded outside the window: "Zhang Yunian, make me a pot of new tea." ”
Soon, the tea was delivered, he poured the old cup outside, poured a new cup for me, and said while pouring: "That day, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Lord Fu and Mrs. Fu came to your palace, I drank it at that time, and what you have in your palace is Chen tea." ”
"Later, I told you to renovate the palace, I recently went to your place to drink for a while, and finally came with the fresh one, why did you come out of the palace this time, and you brought out the old tea from before?"
After saying that, he pushed the cup of tea in front of me and stretched out his hand to signal me to drink it.
He remembered me so clearly?
I slowly picked up the cup of tea, held it in the palm of my hand, and took a sip gently.
Of course, I can tell the difference between new tea and old tea. But since I was a child, my family didn't have too strict distinctions and pursuits, and I had to drink fresh tea.
"I don't have to be so economical in the future, it's not that I can't afford to support you." He stared at me earnestly.
My heart fluttered a few times, "Hmm...... Well. ”
Seeing that he had received a positive answer, he nodded reassuringly, lifted the curtain, and instructed Father-in-law Zhang to bring him books that he should read.
Zhang Yunian, after bringing it, he sat in front of me and read intently, without speaking.
He stared at the scroll in his hand for a moment. I suddenly remembered what I had just said to He Lin.
"He's always so eye-catching when he's focused."
He was reading a book of strategies, the paper was slightly yellow, and it was said that his bony hands were whiter, and the green tendons on his hands were more obvious.
The face and thin body that focuses on reading are indeed unconvincing, he is a master of horse racing. It's kind of like a little white face.
But he seems to be a natural emperor, and he has only been on the throne for less than a year, and he doesn't speak, just sitting there has a temperament that is not angry and arrogant.
He suddenly rubbed the book impatiently with his fingertips, and did not take his eyes off the book: "The queen should not stare at me anymore, I can't pay attention." ”
I took a big jump and quickly looked away at the scenery outside the window.
Why hasn't he gone down yet? Is it because I just drank hot tea? This carriage ......
Why is it so hot?
———
When we arrived at the palace, it was nearly dusk.
The palace is a small plain located in the middle of the mountain, and on the other side, you can see the red palace surrounded by the arch of the green mountains.
Like the stamens in the painting, like the pearls held in the palm of the hand, the small palace is waiting for our arrival.
When I walked in, I saw the lake in front of the hall, there were countless water pavilions and pavilions on the lake, surrounded by planted lotus flowers, and there were several small boats tied around.
After passing through the lake area, you will reach the temple area, and then you will divide the palace.
Although its palace area is not as large as the palace in the capital, it is more than enough to accommodate us.
His Majesty is naturally in the middle of the palace, and I am in a small palace next to him, with the third brother and other foreign ministers and guards on the periphery, far away from us palace concubines, and there is a place where the palace maids live in the middle.
The steward in charge of the palace has long kept the palace spotless, and we just put things in place when we arrive.
The first thing I did when I entered the room was to see how the table was lit.
The face is due east, but it is a little smaller.
I instructed my subordinates to bring my pen, ink, paper, and inkstone over, and personally set up my small world of writing and painting for the past two months.
After they were busy there, I set up the pen holder by myself, and I was happy to display rice paper and scales.
After the whole sheet was completely opened, the sky had become inky, and the lights had been held everywhere in the palace, adding a touch of fireworks to this paradise surrounded by mountains and rivers.
"Queen Mother!"
I knew it was Herin just by hearing the voice, and I smiled and turned to meet her.
"Why is Ying Jieyu here?"
"Niangniang, I have very few things, just let them go, I asked where you came out of the palace, and I came to you directly!" After speaking, he began to look around, "This place is really different from the palace, and the delicacy has changed a lot." ”
She didn't call herself a concubine, and Zhiyu was about to say a word to remind her when she saw this, but I raised my hand to stop her.
I don't care about the title.
If a person has respect in his heart, it doesn't matter what he is called, like Concubine Li, even if she calls herself a concubine, how can she respect me in her heart?
I smiled and said: "The architecture of the palace is modeled after the style of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more in line with the exquisite landscape, and the palace of the capital is naturally to show the majesty of the heavenly family, brilliant and solemn, and naturally it is different." ”
I thought about it, Herin has just arrived, how can I say that I am also a person who has been here, and I should do my best to be a landlord, and I actually like her frank character, if only Song Jieyu was here, let's go for a walk together.
It's a pity that she doesn't like to be lively, saying that she is sick and stays in the capital to pet cats.
"If Ying Jieyu is interested, you might as well accompany the palace for a walk, and I will take a look at the pavilions and pavilions of this palace with Jieyu."
Hearing this, her eyes lit up instantly, her head was pounded with garlic, her hairpin and her face shook vigorously, I closed my eyes and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's so cute!
I'm so cute with He Lin and Zhou Cairen, and I can't resist people who see the bottom at a glance!
I want to pinch her face!
Neither of us wanted to climb any tall buildings on such a late day, so we went to the water pavilion to have a look.
The calm water surface sparkled with the heat of the palace, reflecting the lights of the palace and temples, and we crouched at the water's edge, and through the lanterns of the rain, we could faintly see the fish in the water.
Although there was a pool in the palace originally, it was far from being as open as this water surface, and He Lin looked at the surrounding scenery in a daze, and did not do anything else, just to look, as if she wanted to engrave everything in her mind.
She asked me blankly: "Niangniang, this lake is so big, what is the legendary sea like?" ”
Rather than being impatient, I was interested: "The sea is bigger, more vast, vast, and borders the sky. There are countless fish in the sea, and the waves are so rough that they can uproot houses and trees and roll them up into the sky. ”
She was in a reverie with her head on her back, and I was slightly stunned.
I grew up in a boudoir in the capital, and I had never seen the sea.
All I know about the sea comes from books, and it's a sight I will never see in my life.
After a long time, she said sullenly, "It's good." ”
Well? "What's so good?"
She raised her head, her eyes and the stars shining, and said with a serious face: "Queen Mother, you are so good." ”
I smiled softly: "Ying Jieyu, what's wrong, why did you suddenly boast about this palace?" ”
She looked unusually serious: "Niangniang, the Huns and the Central Plains have fought for more than ten years, in our place, they all say that the Central Plains people are sinister and have a bad stomach, but after I came to the Central Plains, some Central Plains people are indeed very bad, but after seeing Niangniang and General Fu, I think that the Central Plains people can also be very kind." ”
"You patiently answered for me, General Fu saved my life, I think, the Central Plains people, is not so bad."
She praised me so seriously that I didn't know how to answer.
I felt a little embarrassed, and I replied to her seriously: "No matter who you are, there are good and bad, you don't have to be too abstinent, take it to heart." ”
She was just about to continue saying something, when she saw her eyes suddenly look at me, shut up, and got up with a faint face.
I looked back curiously, and it seemed that it was who it was, and I hurried up.
"See Your Majesty."
He still raised his hand to help me up, and said to the people around him, "Get up." Then he asked me, "What are you looking at here?" ”
I replied honestly: "I have nothing to do at night, so I will enjoy the watery night view together." ”
He nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "In that case, then take me with me, and I will walk with you." ”
It's annoying, who wants to take you?
"How did His Majesty appear here?"
"You originally wanted to go to your palace to find you, but the people in your palace said that you were called out by Ying Jieyu to hang out, and I didn't know where you went, so I searched for the palace people all the way." He said nonchalantly.
I didn't understand what he was looking for me, and after asking, he gave me a strange look: "Do you need a reason for me to find me?" I miss the queen, can't I? ”
Is there something wrong, it's an early autumn night, and it's by the water, so it should be very cool.
But why is my face so hot?
