Chapter 4 Bosom Friends
In a lavish palace, a bewitching woman of nearly forty years old was lying on her side on the bed, her legs resting on the lap of an old eunuch whose hands were gently kneading the woman's legs.
This old eunuch is none other than Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and the bewitching woman is the guest Yinyue mentioned above. If you say why the two are so close, to put it bluntly, these two are husband and wife, don't look at Gonggong Wei as a eunuch, but in the Forbidden City, it is still possible to make some fake phoenixes, and it is called a good food.
"I heard that the emperor killed Song Dairen today, but he is your person, what did he do to provoke the emperor to be so angry?" Ke Yin Yuemei's eyes widened slightly, and she asked lightly.
"What else do I want to ask you? Listen to the people below say that Song Dairen was cut because of the common practice. However, this kind of trivial matter, it stands to reason that it is enough to reprimand two sentences, according to the surname of the saint, you should not cut people without saying a word. Later, I asked someone to inquire carefully, and the reason why His Majesty made such a big fire was entirely to vent his anger to the new Shuntian Mansion Yin Yuesu. This Yue Su, I don't know what the origin is, the last time I mentioned his name in front of the emperor, His Majesty seemed very excited, and the two of them seemed to know each other. Today's performance of the emperor at the court meeting can prove this point even more, after the dispersal of the court, he was called into the heart palace alone, and my people saw it outside, and the two of them were doing carpentry together. It can be seen that the two have really known each other for a long time. You have been with Your Majesty for a long time, and there is nothing you don't know about Your Majesty's affairs, so what does this Yue Su have to do with the emperor, you must be clear. Wei Zhongxian was extremely polite in front of Ke Yinyue, looking at that attitude, as if he was serving his master.
"Yue Su!" Ke Yinyue pondered for a long time, and couldn't remember where she had heard this name. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Yue Su said that he knew Zhu Youxiao, and there was only the Wei Dynasty by the emperor's side, and the Wei Dynasty did not mention it to Ke Yinyue afterwards, after all, the emperor's eldest grandson was on the street and tried carpentry, not a glorious person, and the fewer people who knew, the better. As for the carpenter emperor, he would not talk about it, the Wei Dynasty had instructed him that once this matter reached the ears of his father Zhu Changluo or his grandfather Wanli old man, it would be the smallest punishment to be punished.
Even Ke Yinyue didn't know about Yue Su, Wei Zhongxian was even more confused, where did this guy jump out of, why did the emperor value him so much, and knew that he could also work as a carpenter.
Wei Zhongxian's face couldn't help but show a trace of fear, such a person is bound to be favored by the emperor, the carpenter emperor and the carpenter minister, the two people have the same interests, how can the emperor not trust him. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat gradually oozed from Wei Zhongxian's body.
Ke Yinyue immediately saw Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, chuckled, and said, "Look at you, as long as there is me, who can touch you at all." What can that Yue Su do even if he is the ancestor of the carpenter, Your Majesty is my grandmother after all, and the person he trusts is me. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Zhongxian's hanging heart finally let go, and he sneered: "Yes, yes...... Your Majesty's newest person is, of course, your sister, and no one wants to take away Your Majesty's favor from you. ”
"It's good to know, serve me well, and the sky won't be able to press on your head when the sky falls." Ke Yin Yue smiled and said: "I have been living in the palace for the past two days, and I am really depressed, so I am going to go back to the house for a few days tonight." By the way, help me call that Feng Quan, I haven't seen him for a few days, I really miss him a little. ”
"Longyin Jun" Feng Quan has already mentioned earlier that this guy was impeached by Yushi last time, and he defected to Wei Zhongxian in desperation. Father-in-law Wei will not refuse to come, no matter what kind of shrimp skin crab roe cover you are, you will accept it all. What's more, Feng Quan is dignified and very handsome, Wei Zhongxian likes it even if he is a "man", and secretly accepts him as a male pet. The news spread quickly, and after being heard by Ke Yinyue, she wanted to see what this Feng Quan looked like, and when she saw her, she also liked it, and immediately took it home to sleep. Wei Zhongxian dared to stop him, he could only follow this slut's wishes, he knew that everything he had was given by this slut. I can't be humane, but Mrs. Ke is like a wolf at an age, if you don't find a few little white faces, how can you survive the long night. Having said that, at Wei Zhongxian's age, even if he had that object, it was probably in vain.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it tonight." Wei Zhongxian replied in a low voice.
While speaking, there was a eunuch outside the hall to report that the emperor had summoned the Holy Lady to the Palace of Raising Hearts. As soon as he heard this, Wei Zhongxian immediately interrogated, "Did that Yue Su leave?" ”
The eunuch replied honestly, "I haven't left yet." ”
This time, Wei Zhongxian was a little confused, and he didn't know what the emperor meant. Ke Yinyue seemed much more calm than him, and said with a smile: "I'll just go and take a look." ”
*****************************************************
Ke Yinyue came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and as soon as she entered the door, she was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her. It turned out that it was Yue Suzheng who was on an equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor, and the two carpenter brothers were talking about foaming at the mouth, and what they said was all about carpenter's work.
"Your Majesty, most of the chairs nowadays are square, and sitting up looks restrained, and I once designed a chair that can turn, which is not only convenient, but also comfortable."
"It's really fake, the chair can still turn, you draw a sketch for me, let me see, don't brag and scare me."
Seeing the rise of the conversation between the two people, Ke Yinyue coughed and said softly: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." Then he said a blessing. If you say that as a wet nurse before Ke Yinyue, you have to call yourself a "slave" when you see any nobleman in the palace, but now the grass chicken has become a phoenix, and when she sees the emperor and queen with the title of the holy lady, she also calls herself a "concubine". As for the other concubines in the palace, when they saw her, they had to be respectful.
Hearing Ke Yinyue's voice, Zhu Youxiao also noticed that someone came in, and said: "Guest milk is exempt, you came just in time, just now I communicated with Yue Aiqing, he said that he once designed a chair that can turn, do you say that there can be such a chair in the world?" If there is, I will make one for you first. ”
Ke Yin Yue smiled and said: "No, the concubine is so big, I haven't heard of any chair that can be rotated, if there is such a chair in the world, it will not be dedicated to the palace long ago." Could it be that Lord Yue deliberately deceived the Holy Lord? ”
When outsiders came, Yue Su didn't dare to continue sitting, so he quickly stood up and said: "Mrs. Fengsheng is wrong with this, this chair that can be turned, the lower official named him the swivel chair, if you don't believe it, you can draw a sketch now." ”
Yue Su's historical level is really not very good, Wei Zhongxian's name, of course he has heard of it, but this Fengsheng lady, that is unheard of, let alone a wet nurse. He also thought that he was a great relative of the emperor.
"Yue Aiqing, hurry up and show me the sketch, as long as there is a picture, I can know whether it can be turned, and I also guarantee that it can be made." Zhu Youxiao didn't hear the thorns in Ke Yinyue's words at all, but when he heard Yue Su say that he wanted to draw a sketch, he was very excited, and he didn't care about anything.
After letting people take pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread it on the table, Yue Su drew a sketch according to the appearance of the swivel chair in his previous life.
Zhu Youzhen took a look, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise loudly, "Wonderful, wonderful, Yue Aiqing is really a genius in this way, why didn't I think of it." "Carpenter Zhu really deserves to be the second carpenter in history after Lu Ban, just glanced at the drawings, and he knew it in his heart, and admired Yue Su's idea very much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Yue Su bowed and said.
Zhu Youxiao is now holding the drawings and can't put it down, his face is full of excitement, and he said: "Aiqing is thoughtful, she is really a talent, I didn't see the wrong person." So, wait a minute, have lunch with me, and then let's continue to talk, I really met my soulmate today. ”
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's expression, Ke Yinyue, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel jealous, thinking to herself, I have been with the emperor for so many years, and I haven't coaxed him so excited, you are a newcomer, and you want to compete with me for favor.
Thinking so in his heart, his face also showed displeasure, and he said lightly: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the concubines?" ”
There are a few courtiers in the world who dare to talk to the emperor like this, in the Tianqi Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to talk to the emperor like this, but Ke Yinyue has this qualification. When Ke Yinyue said this, half of it was also for Yue Su, meaning to tell you what status the old lady is.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Youxiao heard that the nurse's tone was not good, he immediately accompanied him with a smile and said, "Guest milk, I was so excited that I forgot about business." I plan to try my carving skills with Yue Aiqing, just now we are evenly matched, and now I want to find a judge, and I think of you at once. The two of us carved the appearance of the guest milk out of wood together, and the carving was more expressive than anyone else. The guest milk is as beautiful as a fairy, I don't think I will object to it. ”
invited Yin Yue as a model, and Zhu Youxiao did not forget to praise two sentences.
To put it mildly, the emperor invited someone to be a model, even if it was a concubine, he had to agree obediently. Zhu Youxiao spoke to Ke Yinyue in a consultative tone, which was already giving enough face, and no one could refuse.
Of course, Ke Yinyue will not refuse, this is too stupid to sweep the emperor's excitement. Don't look at her occasionally having a little temper with the emperor, but in front of this emperor's hobbies, it's best to keep your mouth shut. Perhaps Ke Yinyue also made an assumption, that is, the emperor loved his carpenter career a little more, or loved her a little more, but in the end, she never dared to say the answer. If you can't get along with the emperor in this regard, isn't it asking for hardship.
"What did Your Majesty say, this is the glory of the concubine, how many people in the world want to ask for it but can't ask for it." This is true, if you want to become a model of Emperor Laozi, how can it be so easy, in the eyes of others, but it is an honor to be right.
Zhu Youxiao asked Ke Yinyue to put on a very charming posture, and then moved with Yue Su, one skillful, the other powerful, for a while, the sawdust flew, and in just a stick of incense, the two of them finished carving at the same time again.
"We're both the same fast again, good, good!" Zhu Youxiao praised twice, and said: "Guest milk, the two of us have already carved it, you can judge it and see who carves it more expressively." Hehe, don't be partial to me. Be realistic. ”
"The concubine understands."
Ke Yinyue successively took the puppet from Zhu Youxiao and Yue Su's hands, and carefully measured it.
