Chapter 632: Knowing the Basics
As soon as Guo Shao heard about Mrs. Hua Rui, he scolded Wang Zhong in his heart: This eunuch slapped the horse on the horse's leg.
But he didn't want to blame Wang Zhong, because although Wang Zhong didn't do things well, his attitude was correct, and Guo Shao didn't like to blame the people below.
There is no festival, no ceremony, what does it mean to summon Mrs. Blossom into the palace directly? Anyway, whether it is up or not, those in the know, including Meng Chang, believe that Mrs. Hua Rui, a married woman, has been humiliated. It's just a yellow mud that fell into the crotch!
Of course, this is not a big deal. Guo Shao can "be lucky" to Mrs. Hua Rui without any pressure, because Meng Chang is the king of the dead country. Meng Chang can't help it, and the world will see a joke.
It's just that Guo Shao doesn't want to do this at all, and he doesn't want to make things so ugly! If he is really infatuated with Mrs. Hua Rui, he directly kills Meng Chang and robs Madame Hua Rui into the palace, it is much better than humiliating him like this, after all, Meng Chang is also a person who has been an emperor, and the same person in power should give this kind of person at least respect.
If you consider that Meng Chang is no longer a threat and wants to show the virtue of benevolence and righteousness, then what does it mean to touch Madame Hua Rui again?
Guo Shao glanced at Mrs. Hua Rui, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said meaningfully: "The current eunuchs are still a little worse than the officials who are serious. ”
Madame Hua Rui bit her lips lightly, and said on her knees: "It's just that the concubine is not in good health, so that Your Majesty is in a dilemma." ”
"Hey......" When Guo Shao heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Hua Rui, pointed to a collapse next to several cases and said, "Madame, don't be polite, please take a seat." ”
…… Mrs. Hua Rui said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat." ”
She understood what Guo Shao meant, and she was a little lost for a while. Although Madame Blossom behaves sensibly, if someone does not care about the price for her, she is also looking forward to it...... People scold people for being red-faced, but in fact, women are willing to be this kind of person.
When she was in Shu, she heard that Guo Shao was very lustful, but now that she thinks about it, the rumors really can't be taken seriously. Guo Shao has that reputation, it should be because of Yang Yue'e, when Emperor Zhou rewarded Yang Yue'e to Zhao Kuangyin, the monarch and ministers came and went three times, and later gave it to Guo Shao, Guo Shao accepted it, so some people said that he was greedy for money and lustful.
Mrs. Hua Rui walked over one by one, and wondered: Is Guo Shao not lustful? Or are you not beautiful enough?
Once again, she felt that she was not dressed well today, she was in too much of a hurry, and she didn't feel comfortable at all.
She sat upright on the soft couch covered with dark purple cushions, and as soon as her fingers touched the silk surface of the cushion, she knew that the silk was a fine fabric. Mrs. Hua Rui originally had no identity, but she had seen a lot of knowledge in that kind of drunken place, and she also stayed in the palace of Shu for a long time; She can easily tell if an item is valuable.
There are also a few cases in front of him, the wood is faintly shining with gold filigree, and it should be the Nanmu that has been precipitated over the years.
Madame Blossom's casual gaze quickly swept over the furnishings in the study, and she understood everything in her heart...... She never said it, but she did like extravagant things. Perhaps, because she has tasted the taste of being sold around with a low status, those expensive and extravagant things outside her body can make her feel that she is not so low.
Guo Shao's study, at first glance, is very ordinary, and the color is also very low, with almost no bright colors of red and green; It's not as splendid and gorgeous as in the palace of Shu, but it's still very luxurious, but the style is different.
In such an environment, in the face of people with respectable status, Madame Blossom pays more and more attention to her own image.
At this moment, a palace maid wearing a moon-white dress came up with tea and put a few plates of pastries.
Guo Shao picked up a piece and said with a smile: "You're welcome, don't say I'm really a little hungry." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui glanced at Guo Shao, and felt that the atmosphere was very subtle, not like the relationship between monarchs and ministers, not so close, if they were about to leave, they were like friends. She couldn't help but say carefully: "Your Majesty eats less, it's a pity to satisfy your hunger with this kind of snack." ”
"It's a pity?" Guo Shao was a little surprised while chewing.
Madame Blossom said softly: "This little pleasure of the tongue is one of the great pleasures of life, and it can be enjoyed three times a day, just to satisfy hunger, isn't it a pity?" ”
Guo Shao nodded yes.
Madame Blossom smiled: "However, if you are full, no matter how delicious the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, you will not taste much. Her tone changed slightly, and she said softly, "It's not that the dishes are bad. ”
"Yes." Guo Shao said with interest, "There is truth in the plain." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "Your Majesty eats less snacks, and the concubine goes to the kitchen to cook a few small dishes for Your Majesty." ”
Guo Shao said: "Let Mrs. cook, I feel a little insulting to you." ”
Madame Hua Rui stood up and said with a smile: "The concubine is a female streamer, so you don't have to pay attention to the words of 'gentleman is far away from cooking'. The concubine is the first to be lost, and His Majesty forgives the sin. ”
…… Guo Shao didn't care about the kind words of guilt or not, and nodded in response.
He looked at the graceful back of Mrs. Hua Rui walking out of the door briskly, and thought that she was going to get food for herself, and had a strange feeling, this woman was not a famous concubine of Shu Kingdom, not a poetess, but a gentle woman from an ordinary family, full of simple life. Everything seems to have returned to its original nature.
When Madame Blossom walked out of the door, she looked back and smiled, "It will be fine soon." ”
The slightly charming smile lingered in front of Guo Shao's eyes.
Guo Shao got up and sat in front of the bookcase, looked at the file in front of him, and felt that these things were very boring, and he couldn't calm down.
Before that, Guo Shao knew that Mrs. Hua Rui was beautiful, but he really didn't have much of a sense of dominance, because he didn't lack beautiful women...... Today, I don't know how to be restless.
Guo Shao stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, remembering what Mrs. Hua Rui said, delicious food is a great pleasure in life, and you can enjoy it every day. When you think of the most basic pleasures, in addition to food, there is also color. It is the so-called chromophobia.
Anyway, I can't tell you anymore, why don't you just do something, and it makes more sense.
He didn't do anything, and spent a long time in his study. Sure enough, Mrs. Hua Rui's sentence "It will be better soon" was not wrong, and it was not long before a palace maid came in to ask Guo Shao to eat.
Guo Shao walked out of the study and saw three dishes on a round table, a plate of fried shredded pork with green onions, a plate of scrambled eggs with lettuce, and a bowl of vegetable soup. Sure enough, it's just a simple side dish.
He sat down on the round stool and beckoned Mrs. Blossom, who was standing next to him, to sit down and eat together.
Madame Hua Rui said with a smile: "I heard that Your Majesty said that I was hungry, so I simply made a few kinds of food for dinner, and I couldn't put it on the table, so that Your Majesty could see it laugh." ”
Guo Shao said casually: "The simpler the thing, the more craftsmanship is required." ”
He wasn't saying things against his will. Not only because of Mrs. Hua Rui's fame, Guo Shao tasted the yam tablets she made last time, and the taste was very good.
Madame Blossom handed over a bowl of rice and looked at him with a smile.
Guo Shao lifted the chopsticks, first took a piece of shredded meat, put it in his mouth, first tasted the spicy taste, it should be mugwort, ginger and other seasonings, and then the green onion, just the right saltiness, the umami of the meat, after chewing, there is a slight sweetness between the mouth and tongue...... The taste has a layered feel. There is also a shredded meat with knife work and heat that are in place, and it seems to be cut along the texture of lean meat.
Guo Shao couldn't help but clip a big chopstick, the spicy taste stimulated the saliva, and the rice was very delicious. Sure enough, I ordered the meal.
He looked at the pot of lettuce scrambled eggs again, and felt that it was delicious and his appetite was greatly enhanced. Yellow scrambled eggs, green lettuce, and a few red cherries are embellished, and I feel that the color is very beautiful before I eat it.
Guo Shao said: "Madame also eats." ”
"It's not yet dinner, and I'm not hungry." ”
Guo Shao said: "Then you watch me eat, how boring." ”
Madame Hua Rui said in a low voice: "Seeing that Your Majesty is hungry and can eat the food cooked by the concubine, in fact, ...... It's a pleasure. ”
Guo Shao stopped chewing slightly, and he didn't know how to feel as if something warm was flowing through his heart. He glanced up at the gentle-looking Madame Blossom, said nothing, and continued to eat.
He didn't comment on Madame Flower's dishes, but just enjoyed eating all three dishes cleanly, and there was no waste left.
"It's full." Guo Shao took a sip of warm tea from the teacup with a comfortable face, rinsed it in his mouth, and then swallowed it in his stomach.
Guo Shao said quietly: "Let's go and rest for a while." ”
Madame Blossom bowed her head and obediently agreed.
Guo Shao led her out of the hall and into the living room, then turned around and approached Mrs. Hua Rui. She took half a step back in a bit of a daze, and then stopped, her face flushing all at once.
Seeing this, Guo Shao understood that she did not dare to refuse. But he was never willing to force a woman, but he didn't know how to ask her for a while.
He tentatively reached out and touched her body, moving more slowly, to see how she reacted.
Madame Blossom's body trembled a little, and her eyes were very nervous. Emotions are contagious, which makes Guo Shao a little nervous...... After all, nothing was said, and there was no reason for the name.
However, Guo Shao was quite calm, but it was a little strange why Mrs. Hua Rui reacted so much to this kind of thing. She was a married woman, and it stands to reason that her reaction should not be so strong that she trembles all over.
Guo Shao saw that she had no intention of resisting, so he reached out and hugged her back and pressed it into his arms.
Her upper body lost her balance slightly, so she gently grabbed Guo Shao's placket, and her breathing was also changing.
She also dragged Guo Shao, so that Guo Shao felt her good impression of herself...... The woman will not take the initiative to drag a person she hates in an instant. Being snuggled by a soft body, Guo Shao felt as if he was very tall and powerful for a while, and instinctively had a sense of self-expansion like a big husband.
The nervous breath even made Guo Shao return to the youthful feeling of being a newcomer, which was very beautiful.
The two of them didn't say a word, but the faint fragrance of the beauty, the delicate and heavy breathing rhythm, mixed with the subtle smell of lust, had already permeated the entire room.
"Your Majesty......," Madame Blossom called weakly.
Guo Shao said in a low voice: "You come to the palace, whether we have something to do or not, others think there is something." Rather than that, why not just get close? ”
