Chapter 5 Crazy Men and Resentful Women
Entering Zhongcui Palace, Wang Qiang's interaction with Cai Ling'er and Zhu'er is much more convenient, and there is no need to go to the woods every day to tell stories. Cai Ling'er brought Wang Qiang to her side, and she was full of joy when her wish was fulfilled, and she was also considerate of him in every way. Zhang Wufu helped Cai Ling'er, I thought I could take the opportunity to get close to her, but I didn't want her to mix with the new little eunuch all day long, Fang knew the plan, I couldn't help but feel jealous, and always wanted to find a reason to retaliate, but Wang Qiang was cautious and decent, and there was Cai Ling'er to protect him, so there was no way to start for a while.
But said that at noon on this day, Concubine Li had lunch and took a nap in the palace, Cai Ling'er was on duty alone outside, Zhu'er took Wang Qiang and quietly slipped in, it turned out that Zhu'er was worried about the story under "Journey to the West", and pestered Wang Qiang to tell her, but Cailing'er was on duty, Wang Qiang wanted to wait for her to be on duty and then tell them together, Zhu'er was itching, and she couldn't wait, so she simply pulled Wang Qiang to find Cailing'er, and wanted to take advantage of Concubine Li's nap to let Wang Qiang tell them both outside, Wang Qiang couldn't be entangled, I had to come with Zhu'er. Because yesterday's story was about to be exciting, Cai Ling'er was also anxious to hear the following, thinking that Concubine Li wouldn't wake up for a while, so she asked Wang Qiang to whisper to them.
Wang Qiang sat in the middle on the chair, and Cai Ling'er and Zhu'er sat on the embroidery pier on the left and right, with their arms supporting their chins. Wang Qiang lowered his voice and whispered about "Journey to the West", after a while, Zhu'er and Cailing'er listened to it and were fascinated, and forgot that the mother was sleeping on the stubble, it happened that Wang Qiang talked about Zhu Bajie stealing watermelon, and was mixed with watermelon skin The plot of the plot, that Zhu'er couldn't help laughing, quacking and laughing, Wang Qiang hurriedly made a shushing action, Zhu'er stopped, the three of them looked inside together, saw that there was no movement, and then let go, Cailing'er told Zhu'er not to make a sound again, Wang Qiang continued to speak, after a while, Wang Qiang vaguely felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and saw Concubine Li leaning on the door frame of the inner room, looking at the three of them with interest. It turned out that Concubine Li was woken up by the laughter just now, she heard someone muttering outside, and wanted to see what was going on, so she got up lightly and came to the door of the inner room, and saw Wang Qiang talking with flying eyebrows, Zhu'er and Cailing'er listened attentively, and thought it was quite interesting, so they leaned on the door frame and watched. At the age of twenty-four or five this year, Concubine Li is as beautiful as a flower and has a unique charm, because when she was taking a nap, Concubine Li only wore a translucent light gauze nightgown, and inside the nightgown, her fair and round body and small and firm twin peaks loomed, sexy and sultry. Although Wang Qiang is in charge of cleaning the inner court, he works in the morning, and he has not seen Concubine Li, but now he sees it at such a close distance, and Concubine Li is wearing such a revealing outfit, he can see that his blood is full of blood, his face is flushed, and his eyes are staring at Concubine Li, like a chicken, and he even forgot to be afraid. Cai Ling'er and Zhu'er noticed the abnormality, turned their heads to look, and were immediately shocked, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and confessed, Wang Qiang also woke up, slid down the chair to the ground, still looked up at Concubine Li, and whispered: "Niang Niang forgive your sins." ”
Concubine Li saw Wang Qiang's anxious expression, she felt funny, and she didn't think it was a shame, but she was a little proud in her heart, she giggled, walked to the three of them, and sat on the chair where Wang Qiang was sitting just now, Wang Qiang knelt on the edge of the chair, only to feel a mature woman's body fragrance coming to her nose, Concubine Li's bony jade feet were placed in front of his eyes, Wang Qiang secretly stared at the feet greedily, eager to go up and kiss a few bites. Concubine Li said lazily: "Get up." ”
"Yes." The three of them stood up tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.
Wang Qiang stood in front of Concubine Li, and the manly breath on his body was smelled by Concubine Li, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. This Concubine Li entered the palace at the age of seventeen, has a father and brother at home, and has been favored by Emperor Chongzhen after entering the palace, she is familiar with and sensitive to the smell of men, and she thinks of Wang Qiang's look just now, which is clearly a reaction that only a normal man can have, and she is slightly surprised.
Concubine Li stared at Wang Qiang with a smile and asked, "What's your name?" Which palace is it from? How old is it? ”
"The slave maid is called Xiao Duozi, eighteen years old, who is the head of this palace, responsible for sprinkling water and sweeping the floor." Wang Qiang bowed his head and replied.
Cai Ling'er added on the side: "Qi Qi master Niangniang, Xiao Duozi has just been transferred to the inner palace to serve. ”
"Oh, when did you enter the palace?" Concubine Li asked.
"Huh?! It's been several years, and the slave doesn't remember clearly. Wang Qiang replied in a panic.
"Hehehehehe. What did you guys say just now, you were so engrossed, and you were so happy that you woke me up. Concubine Li smiled and changed the subject and asked.
Zhu'er felt that today's incident was all caused by herself, so she hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to the master, today's things are all slaves and maids, it was I who pulled Xiaoduozi to tell me a story, and it was fun to listen to him, I couldn't help laughing, woke up the master, if you want to punish you, punish me alone." As he spoke, he cried out loud.
Concubine Li didn't know why today, she was in a surprisingly good mood, she was not angry at all, she looked at Zhu'er with pity, frowned slightly and said softly: "Get up, don't be a scorpion, scorpion and tiger, who said that I would punish you, look at your little pitiful appearance, and you are still a hero." ”
After all, Zhu'er is a child's heart, and when she heard that the master would not punish her, she got up and said with a smile: "Thank you, master, don't blame me for laughing, it's really too funny for Xiao Duozi." ”
"yes, what did he say? Tell me about it. Concubine Li asked with a smile.
"He told the story of Journey to the West, saying that there was a Zhu Bajie in it, and he picked a big watermelon, that Zhu Bajie, he was very slanderous, he ate his own piece first, and then, he still wanted to eat it------ "Because I just listened to this paragraph, Zhu'er actually learned eight or nine without leaving ten, but it was not vivid and vivid enough, but Concubine Li listened to it, and was still amused several times, seeing Concubine Li happy, Wang Qiang and Cai Ling'er's hearts gradually settled down.
Let's say that this Concubine Li, who couldn't sleep in bed that night, was full of thoughts about the little eunuch.
Concubine Li was originally a young lady from an official family, born beautiful, was elected to the palace at the age of seventeen, canonized as Concubine Li, and now has been in the palace for seven years. Entering the palace as a concubine is a matter of glory to the ancestors, and Concubine Li was originally full of expectations for her future life, but reality soon shattered her dreams. With the deterioration of the domestic situation, the burden on Emperor Chongzhen is getting heavier and heavier, the endless excerpts that he can read every day, the reports that he can't listen to, coupled with the decline of state affairs, he is depressed and irritable all day long, and gradually becomes pure and has few desires, often lives in the imperial study, does not return to the harem for several months, and occasionally goes back to the harem once. The monotonous loneliness and widowhood make Concubine Li often feel sorry for herself and feel sorry for herself.
After seeing Wang Qiang today, Concubine Li didn't know why, she couldn't calm down for a long time, she felt that this little eunuch was a little special, with long eyebrows and delicate eyes, and her body shape, temperament and behavior were also different from those other eunuchs, but like a white-faced scholar. Especially the smell on his body, it is clearly the body of a normal man who has not been seen for a long time.
"Look at the way he looks at me today, it's funny, it's like a pervert, as if he hasn't been cleansed, ah, it's not good! If he was really a man, wouldn't my body have already been seen by him! Cough! What's wrong with me? Why do you keep thinking about this? ”
"The smell on his body is so good, I don't want him to do anything else, it's just that it's very useful to smell it around me every day, something else? What else could I ask him for, alas, how could I have thought of this, ashamed to death. ”
"Hey, if I wasn't the imperial concubine, just an ordinary person, how good it would be to have a man with me all day long to love me!"
------
In this way, Concubine Li spent the night half-asleep and half-awakened, and when she got up in the morning, she felt that her head was a little heavy, she called Cai Ling'er and ordered: "Go, go to the Queen Mother's palace and say that I am not feeling well today, so I will not go to her old man to say goodbye." ”
Cai Ling'er bowed down and replied: "Yes, the slave will go back, Niangniang, where is your body uncomfortable, do you want to find a doctor to see." ”
Concubine Li smiled bitterly and said in her heart: "I'm uncomfortable, the imperial doctor can't see it well." This damn little eunuch actually disturbed me from sleeping well all night. She said to Cai Ling'er: "It's nothing, I had a nightmare last night, I didn't sleep well, just rest for a while, the Queen Mother wants to ask, you just say so." ”
"Hey! The slave and maid know. Cai Ling'er answered, and just wanted to turn around and leave, Concubine Li stopped her again and said, "Wait, what is the name of the little eunuch who told the story yesterday?" ”
"Back to the mother's words, call Xiaoduozi."
"Oh, how long has he been here?"
"It's been almost a month."
"How's this guy?"
"This little duozi is very clever and sensible, usually silent, no one provokes, honest, his hands and feet are also diligent, he works seriously, and his stories are very good, Zhu'er and I listen to him every day, and we never get tired of listening."
"Well, since that's the case, just transfer him to the dormitory to serve, the current father-in-law Qin is old, and his hands and feet are not dexterous, so arrange for him to rest." Concubine Li said as if she had made up her mind for a long time.
"Good! Xiao Duozi is capable, and it must be no problem. CRTT said excitedly.
"You go and tell Zhang Wufu, just say what I said, let him arrange this, and arrange Xiao Duozi to be on duty tonight, and you can tell him about the rules inside." Concubine Li commanded.
"Yes." Cailinger took the order and left.
"Well, what's wrong with me?" Concubine Li muttered to herself, and went back to bed and fell asleep.
Cai Ling'er went to the Queen Mother's palace and said that Concubine Li would not come to ask for peace, so she stung out to find Zhang Wufu and told her about Concubine Li's decision to transfer Wang Qiang to be a chamberlain in the palace. Zhang Wufu heard that Xiao Duozi was going to be transferred to the palace, that is, he was promoted to the eunuch in charge, and guessed that this must be Cai Ling'er's tongue in front of Concubine Li, and he couldn't help but be jealous and hateful to Wang Qiang in his heart, but he still didn't dare to disobey the will of the imperial concubine.
That night, Wang Qiang went to the dormitory on duty, and Cai Ling'er changed shifts with others in order to take care of Wang Qiang, and was also on duty that night. The two waited for Concubine Li to sleep and came outside to rest. There were only two of them outside the entire dormitory, and the other eunuchs and palace maids went back to their rooms to sleep, because of the lesson from the last time, Wang Qiang didn't dare to tell the story anymore, and the two of them whispered without a word.
Because it was a temporary shift, Cai Linger didn't sleep during the day, and she was sleepy after twelve o'clock, seeing that there was no movement in the room, it was estimated that Concubine Li had fallen asleep, and she was lying on the desk, and she fell asleep after a while. Wang Qiang is not sleepy at all, since yesterday noon, Concubine Li's shadow has been deeply imprinted in his mind lingering, Concubine Li's beauty, plump body and fragrant feminine breath make it difficult for him to be himself, he is a normal man after all, and he is a vigorous age, thinking that the lively lady is sleeping in the room, how can he not be tempted. He got up and walked a few steps restlessly, and then sat down and thought wildly, and was in a state of confusion, only to hear that there seemed to be a sound in the room, he hurried to the door of the room, listened attentively, and only heard Concubine Li whispering inside: "Is it Xiao Duozi?" Come in and talk. ”
"Hey!" Wang Qiang hurriedly pushed open the door, looked back, Cai Ling'er was still lying there sleeping Zhengxiang, he entered the room, only a small palace lamp was lit in the room, the light was very dim, and through the tent, Wang Qiang could not see the situation of Concubine Li, he came to Concubine Li's bed, bowed down and said: "Niangniang, you call me." ”
"Well, where's Cai Ling'er?" Concubine Li asked through the tent.
"Oh, Cailing'er is asleep, Niangniang has something, I'll call her." Wang Qiang said.
"That's it, this little girl is just snooze, alas! I don't have anything to do, I just can't sleep, you can talk to me for a while. Concubine Li said.
"Hey." Wang Qiang couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.
"Go, move a chair and sit and talk." Concubine Li said softly.
"Hey." Wang Qiang moved a brocade pier and sat at the head of Concubine Li's bed. It stands to reason that this eunuch has no reason to sit in front of his master anyway, but Wang Qiang is a fake eunuch who has become a monk halfway, and he does not regard himself as a slave in his bones, so he dares to be so 'presumptuous'.
Concubine Li asked through the tent: "Xiao Duozi, I heard that you are very good at telling stories, who did you learn from?" ”
"I learned it from my father, who was a storyteller." Wang Qiang said casually.
"Oh, what about your family?" Concubine Li asked.
"I have no home for a long time, my parents and relatives are gone, and I am left alone." Wang Qiang was afraid that Concubine Li would continue to ask and not be able to get a goof, so he simply said that he was an orphan, and Concubine Li really didn't ask anymore.
After being silent for a while, Concubine Li asked again, "How did you enter the palace in the first place?" ”
"This? Ah, a few years ago, I was sick, and I couldn't see it, but I was seen by my father-in-law, rescued me, and then took me to the palace. Wang Qiang replied.
"Oh." Concubine Li didn't ask any more, and said for a while: "I won't be able to sleep left and right, why don't you tell me a story, don't tell that elf weird, just tell -----"
"Let me tell you a story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai!" Wang Qiang didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"Hmm," Concubine Li said sideways, through the tent.
"This Liang Shanbo is a poor scholar, particularly talented, honest, this Zhu Yingtai, is a woman, a girl from a big family, especially rich, and looks like a flower and moon, this and this is just like you, ---- "Wang Qiang began to interpret the story of this talented and beautiful woman in a low voice, Concubine Li gradually listened to it through the tent, and her mood also fluctuated with the fate of the characters in the story, and the little eunuch in front of her gradually transformed into the suave white-faced scholar.
------
In the following days, whenever Wang Qiang was on the night shift, he would tell a story to Concubine Li before going to bed, Wang Qiang felt Concubine Li's temperament, and told a lingering love story, which always made Concubine Li sigh, and became more and more inseparable from Wang Qiang.
In the middle of the night, after Cailing'er fell asleep, Wang Qiang didn't wait for Concubine Li's summons, so he slipped into the room and moved a stool to sit in front of Concubine Li's bed. The story he prepared today is based on the movie "Titanic" that he has watched, and of course the protagonists in it have become poor boys and princesses.
Wang forcibly suppressed his voice, leaned his head to the tent, and spoke in a colorful voice for most of the hour before finishing. Concubine Li always lay on her side and listened.
Wang Qiang finished speaking, and seeing that Concubine Li did not move, he called softly: "Niangniang, Niangniang, the slave is finished." ”
After being silent for a long time, Concubine Li said, "Xiao Duozi, you can put up the tent." ”
"Hey." Wang Qiang got up, picked up the tent and hung it up, and sat down in front of the bed again.
Under the candlelight, Wang Qiang could clearly see Concubine Li's appearance, Concubine Li was lying on the bed sideways, covered with a thin quilt at her waist, wearing only a clear gauze on her upper body, and her bright eyes stared directly at Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang couldn't help but feel a wild beat in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at it again.
I only heard Concubine Li say faintly: "Xiao Duozi, if I am the princess, you are the poor boy, are you willing to duel with that nobleman for me, and jump into the sea for me?" ”
Wang Qiang felt his tongue dry for a while, and said sincerely: "Niangniang is a fairy-like character, and the slave maid can go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and never give up for the sake of the mother!" ”
"Come up." Concubine Li said astringently.
A pair of infatuated men and women finally rolled into a mess.
The next day, Concubine Li simply organized Cai Ling'er and Wang Qiang into a group, rested during the day, and was on duty every night. Since then, every night on duty, after Cailinger falls asleep, Wang Qiang quietly sneaks into the room, to 'serve' Concubine Li's mother, the first few days Wang Qiang and Concubine Li are still worried and cautious, after all, the harem is the crime of the nine clans, but they have a first taste of the forbidden fruit, a spring boudoir for a long time, are tired of it, how to give up this love, a few days later, see that everything is safe, and gradually let go of the heart.
That Cai Ling'er is a clever and clever girl, only a few days, she saw the clues, knowing that Wang Qiang and Niangniang had something to do, she didn't know that Wang Qiang was a fake eunuch, guessing that the two were just like other eunuchs and palace maids to do together like a fake phoenix, and I couldn't help but feel a little sour, but after all, I didn't dare to compete with the master Niangniang, and only complained that my life was thin, so when I was on duty at night, I stayed at the door of the outer room and quickly "fell asleep". Wang Qiang and Concubine Li knew it in their hearts, so they no longer avoided the ringtones, and began to let go of their hands and feet to seek pleasure freely.
Wang Qiang was originally an idle person with no ambitions, like now, he doesn't have to work during the day, he only sleeps and wanders, nourishes his spirit, and at night he holds the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and he lives a leisurely life, very content, and feels that the emperor's days are like this. He occasionally misses his parents, relatives and friends, but he feels that it is useless to think so much, and the current days are more comfortable and nourishing than those in modern society, and slowly it is a little lighter.
