The next morning, Zhiyu was shocked when she saw me, and after washing up, she pulled me to the vanity mirror and covered my dark circles with powder.

Today's official hunting, Your Majesty will definitely go to the mountain, and we have to go to see him off.

Thinking of yesterday's embarrassment and crankiness, I couldn't help but rub my brow resentfully.

How do you see him today!!!!

……

Every time there is a small ritual of sacrificing to the sky, left by the ancestors, in order to comfort the mountain gods, all this has been prepared by a special person, I just don't have to worry about it, just participate as a queen.

Pray, please, worship, the whole process is held again, burn the incense for the gods, Your Majesty and his party can set off, before leaving, the palace concubine will say colorful words, a bunch of auspicious words, I wish the hunt goes well.

"Concubine Yao wishes Your Majesty a victorious start and win the championship!" Concubine Li held the wine bottle and said happily.

Gonggong Zhang measured it with a silver needle, and His Majesty looked at all this lightly.

After verifying that the result was fine, His Majesty drank with a smile, "Concubine Li has a heart." ”

I didn't look at him in the whole sacrifice today, I have always looked into the distance without squinting, and now I am the concubine and her, so naturally I am the last to say the color word.

I took the wine bottle on the tray behind Zhiyu, turned around a little weakly and apprehensively, lifted the wine glass, and met his gentle and warm gaze, he looked at me with a gentle smile, as if to say, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

My heart skipped a few beats, but I still said calmly: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty, a safe trip, and a victorious return." After speaking, he handed it over and waited for Gonggong Zhang to inspect the wine.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty took the lead, raised his head and drank, and gently turned to the side of me, showing the clean wine glass, "Borrow the queen's auspicious words." ”

Everyone above was a little surprised, and Concubine Li took the lead to speak: "Your Majesty! How can you be so careless, in case of poisonous ......"

He didn't look away, but looked at me firmly, "The queen won't hurt me." ”

Concubine Li didn't give up: "What if someone else borrows the queen's hand to harm you, the concubine thinks ......"

He frowned and interrupted Concubine Li, "Set off immediately, you're just cursing me like this?!" ”

She knew that she had lost her words, so she hurriedly knelt down and shouted that she didn't dare. His Majesty snorted coldly, "Even if it is," he turned his head to look at me seriously, "as long as the queen hands me over......"

He didn't continue, but looked at me playfully, his glass resting heavily on the table, and turned his head, "Let's go!" ”

Even if it's poisonous, as long as I hand it over......

How?

He must be crazy to dare to say such a thing!!

I reacted, and was about to stop him and ask for an explanation! But he had already turned on his horse, and with a wave of his whip, he rode away. That's all I had to say.

When I came back to my senses and looked around again, the eyes of the people around me were a little subtle, and His Majesty didn't let Concubine Li get up when she left, so she was still kneeling at the moment, looking at me resentfully.

She was not very wrong, and it was not good for her to kneel all the time, so I threw her a sentence to get up, and went straight into the tent curtain.

According to the regulations, the harem concubines will generally wait for the return of the hunters in the tent curtain at the foot of the mountain, or they can go back to the palace first without waiting.

I directly explained to everyone, if you are tired, go back to the palace first, Zhiyu asked in a low voice if I should stay or go? I looked back in the direction His Majesty had left, and whispered to her, "I'm here waiting for His Majesty to come back." ”

Zhiyu looked at me meaningfully, I could understand what she was thinking, but I didn't want to pay attention to her, and opened my curtain to go inside.

The inside was delicately arranged, almost everything, Zhiyu poured me a cup of tea, I quietly opened the book, when the mind is extremely confused, it will be much more comfortable to read.

……

"Niangniang, why have you only read this page for a long time?"

"Oh? Have it? I looked at the front page with wide eyes and pretended, "Oh, there's an obscure sentence on this page, I... I... I thought about it for a long time. He scolded himself secretly, and then quickly turned the next page.

But looking at it, how come this word can't get into my head at all?

At the moment I looked at the words, they were scattered from word to word, and I had to take great pains to bring them together from the ends of the earth, to shove them into my sight, to put them together in order, to read them carefully, to know what they meant, and then to stuff them into my head.

Isn't that really making people down?

After repeating this attempt several times, my whole body became very depressed, and my partial heart was still very restless, and I couldn't calm down at all.

I look at everything around me now, and I want to tear up the book.

"Mother? Are you there? ”

Oh my God, it's an angel's voice, it's here to save me, right?!

"Come in, come in."

Sure enough, the curtain was gently lifted, and a small head flashed in the probe, and it was indeed Herin.

She sat lightly across from me and winked at me, I remembered the other day, and didn't want to talk to her, so I continued to flip through the books.

"Niangniang, isn't it, you are still angry with me about the events of that day!"

I flipped through the book and didn't look at her, "Obviously you didn't keep the agreement first, who can't call it to play polo?" Why is it called the third brother? ”

She stubbornly stiffened her neck. "You've won, and you're still angry with me, and I haven't said anything about what I lost...... And Niangniang, what are you thinking? Why the hell are you preventing me from having anything to do with General Fu? It's just a game of polo, what are you nervous about? ”

What do you mean? I've thought about it a lot when I co-authored!

I once again said to her righteously, "You are the concubine, he is the general, you two should not say anything in the first place, at this time, if someone with a heart is used, especially the inner concubine, do you think you two will have any good fruit to eat?" ”

"It's okay for you to die yourself, don't bring our Fu family with you, okay?" Actually, what I'm saying is a bit heavy, but ...... I had to make her realize that.

She was really frightened by me, and said in a low voice that I knew, that aggrieved look, I was very unambitious and shaken by her.

I put down the book and comforted her, "Okay, as long as you are honest and obedient, you will always have this friend!" ”

She looked up pitifully, pouted and nodded, I was amused by her, turned around and peeled an orange for her, and said as she peeled it, "This year's orange is very sweet, you can taste it."

She took the orange I peeled for her, took a tentative bite, and exhaled softly: "This thing, we Huns can only buy it in Guanshi, and it is very sour, I didn't expect the Central Plains to be so delicious!" ”

I smiled softly: "Do you know the story of Huainan as an orange and Huaibei as a child?" ”

She shook her head dumbfounded.

I smiled and broke off the other half of the orange and handed it to her: "The same orange, which grows in Huainan, is a sweet orange." Growing in Huaibei, it is a bitter citrus aurantium. ”

"It was said by a saint a long time ago, and it is intended to show that the same person, with different surroundings, will have different results."

She nodded and smiled as if she didn't understand, and I turned around and instructed Zhiyu: "Ying Jieyu loves to eat, go back and send all the boxes of citrus that the prefect of Sichuan Prefecture paid tribute to our palace, and all of them will be sent to Ying Jieyu." ”

Zhiyu nodded in agreement, but He Lin waved his hand and said, "No, don't use it, Niangniang, the concubine can't eat so much." ”

I smiled and said, "Let you go, so that I can go to your palace to eat." When she heard this, she laughed and said, "Then I will guard the oranges and wait for the mother to come!" ”

Oh my God, you really are my pistachio, and I was so happy that I invited her to have lunch with me.

For lunch, all the concubines who are here, the palace will quickly send the cooked meals, the food here in the palace is the same as the decoration style, mainly the sweetness of the south, He Lin Xu has not tasted it, I let her taste it together.

I didn't expect to wait for her to eat, but I was a little unaccustomed to it, "Niangniang, I really can't get used to eating the food in the palace these days, I think I've lost weight." ”

"How so? Not to your liking? ”

"In our north, the weather is cold, and we have to rely on eating with our mouth, and we have to eat food that can make the body energetic and hot, and the food here is too light, I can't get used to it."

I thought for a while, "Zhiyu, you now order to go down and let the imperial dining room quickly send over a northern cook, and it will be specially used for Ying Jieyu's food in the future." ”

Zhiyu answered the order, and He Lin said in surprise, "Niangniang! You're so good to me! I was about to smile and say, what is this, but I didn't expect her to answer, "As good as Your Majesty is to you!" ”

I was breathless, but I was stunned, staring at the chopsticks in my hand in a low voice, unable to speak.

"Mother, what's wrong? Am I saying the wrong thing? ”

I shook my head, "No." The patient asked a little cautiously, "Only in your opinion, is Your Majesty really good to me?" ”

She asked in surprise, "What did Niang Niang say about this?" Your Majesty likes you so much, this is something that everyone in the palace can see! Everyone else said that in front of the public, he said so many love words to you, and the two of you may not be so sweet in private! ”

What the?

I looked at her in astonishment, unable to speak, only listened to her mouth, opened and closed and continued: "If Niangniang still doesn't know that Your Majesty is good to you, then you really don't know how blessed you are. ”

I was stunned and picked up the rice grains in the bowl, and said in a daze: "He will be so good to me, and one day, will he be so good to others." ”

She suddenly grabbed my hand, I was taken aback by him, looked back at him in surprise, she said with a serious face: "Niangniang, here you are the best woman except my mother, my sister, my aunt, and my sister!" How can anyone else be like you?! ”

She looked serious, but I didn't know what to do, so she said in a daze, "But while he is good to me, he is also very good to you." ”

She looked at me with a sneering face: "Niangniang, you are the word I just learned, called, gain and loss!" It is said that this kind of emotion can only occur in people who care about it. ”

Care......

Gain or loss?

I rejected him...... Is it because I care about him?!
