Chapter 431: Trying to Catch the Dead
Recently, a strange thing happened in the harem, the emperor began to walk around the palaces, although the concubines would not spend the night every night, but they walked around a little, so that the concubines in the harem who had no hope were ignited again.
"Your Majesty, this is the plum tea newly developed by the concubine, you can taste it." Concubine Jing held the tea, and the spout flowed a clear liquid, which collided with the blue and white porcelain teacup to exude a strange fruity fragrance.
But Emperor Cangliang was not interested, and he scribbled and tasted it and put down the cup.
This plum tea is the most suitable one for the taste that Concubine Jing has been developing for a long time and has used countless recipes to configure, the entrance is cold, sweet and sour, and it is the most suitable in this hot summer.
But such a carefully developed thing didn't even get a glance from the emperor, and Concubine Jing was inevitably a little disappointed.
"What's the emperor's trouble?" Concubine Jing rolled up her sleeves with one hand, and held a small fan with the other, gently fanning Emperor Cangliang.
Emperor Cangliang's eyes looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the pond not far away, and chuckled, "Concubine Jing accompanied me to enjoy the lotus, how about it?" ”
The emperor's request, Concubine Jing had no reason to obey, quickly got up, tidied up her sleeves, held a light and delicate fan in her hand, and kept up with the emperor's pace.
Behind the two, only Father-in-law Su was alone.
Concubine Jing's heart was full of sweetness, what does the emperor mean by this, not only did he bring her alone to enjoy the lotus, but he also didn't bring a slave, could it be that he was going to stay here tonight.
The Jade Concubine has been favored for a while, and the emperor has never been to Fanghua Hall in the past few days, thinking that the Jade Concubine has angered the emperor, or the emperor has disliked the Jade Concubine, no matter what the reason, this is always a good opportunity for her.
"This lotus is good-looking, it's just that it's too fast." There were a few listless lotus flowers on the edge of the pond, wilting there, and the pond was full of midsummer, and somehow I noticed the only place that was a little declining.
"Your Majesty, the minions will send someone to clean these up." Gonggong Su stood up from behind and said with a bow.
"Not necessarily." Emperor Cangliang raised his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.
Concubine Jing hurriedly stepped forward, and the handkerchief with the aroma of fruit was lightly imprinted on the place where he was sweating, "Your Majesty, the sun is big here, why don't we change places, there is a small pavilion a few steps forward, there is a breeze blowing from time to time, it is very cool, the concubines often sit there, it is better to go there." ”
Emperor Cangliang looked in the direction pointed by Concubine Jing and nodded silently.
When leaving this place, Concubine Jing turned her head and gave Duke Su a color, Grandpa Su came back to his senses and hurriedly retreated, the small pavilion happened to be a blind spot, and he couldn't see the decadent lotus, as long as he sorted out the place where the emperor couldn't see it.
"The emperor is depressed but refuses to tell the concubine half a point, this is because the concubine is incompetent, and he can't worry about the king." Concubine Jing sat on the stone bench, her waist straight.
Her background is also excellent, her ancestors followed Taizu to open the country, full of loyalty, her brother had three died on the battlefield, Concubine Jing's father Rong Guogong, even if he was old, but Lao Ji Fu Fang, in this attack on the Uighurs, also made a lot of efforts.
With her identity alone, Emperor Cangliang shouldn't have neglected her for such a long time.
But even so, Rong Guogong's family never had a dislike for him, and they were still loyal to the country.
Thinking of this, Emperor Cangliang looked at the situation in front of him and never panicked, and was always a picture of Concubine Jing who looked like a straight waist, and guilt couldn't help but come to his heart.
"I've neglected you during this time." As he spoke, Emperor Cangliang's hand ran along the edge of the table and held Concubine Jing's hand.
When staying with Concubine Jing, there was always a feeling that his mind was extremely clear, and Emperor Cangliang glanced at the hands of the two of them a little blankly, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Concubine Jing shouted several times before Emperor Cangliang came back to his senses and looked at the past.
"The emperor is the heaven of the concubines, where is there anything that is not lazy, occasionally when I think of it, I come to see the concubines, and the concubines are already very satisfied."
Concubine Jing's palace maid Cailian squatted over with a pot of plum wine, the wine was still in the bottle, and she could smell the refreshing fragrance of the plum wine from a distance.
"You made it too?" Emperor Cangliang turned his head and looked at Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing lowered her eyes and smiled, nodding reservedly, "It was brewed last year, but there has never been a chance, this time the emperor just happened to come to the concubine, if you don't seize the opportunity, I don't know when I will wait next time." ”
Such sad words were mentioned so lightly by Concubine Jing, which made Emperor Cangliang's heart even more uncomfortable.
Thinking about it carefully, he did snub the other concubines in the harem during this time, and he always felt that Yu'er seemed to have some magic on her body, attracting him to keep approaching and absorbing the fragrance from her.
The air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of lotus flowers, but Emperor Cangliang looked at Concubine Jing in front of him but did not have such an impulse, for some reason, his mind was clearer than usual.
"The emperor has been worried recently, maybe he hasn't been to the Jade Concubine Palace for a long time, but he has a dislike with his sister?" Concubine Jing took the wine bottle in Cailian's hand and personally poured a glass of fresh and fragrant plum wine for Emperor Cangliang.
The sweet and sour smell keeps coming from the air to the nose, and you can already imagine the taste of this plum wine before you drink it.
Faced with Concubine Jing's question, Emperor Cangliang just drank the wine in the cup silently and did not say a word.
Looking at his state, Concubine Jing already knew almost everything in her heart, although Yuzhu'er was favored, she was not very old, and she was a foreigner, so I was afraid that she couldn't take care of the emperor in her daily life, and Xu was a quarrel between the two because of some trivial matters in life.
Concubine Jing glanced at the emperor's face, thinking of the news that the queen was suddenly under house arrest in Yikun Palace before, her eyes were sharp, in fact, there was another possibility.
The prince who was born after the queen fought for half her life is now being arranged by the emperor under the name of the jade concubine, and the jade concubine is a foreigner, and a not very good premonition suddenly rose in Concubine Jing's heart.
Didn't the emperor want to use this only concubine to make a big fuss about Yuzhu'er?
As the only concubine, he was placed under the name of a foreign concubine, which can only show that the emperor wants to keep this concubine.
King Xi, King Chen, King Yuan, the three princes are greedy for the throne of the prince who is still vacant, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it may not be good to this foreign favorite concubine, but with the six princes, it is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death, at least one life can be saved.
