Chapter 63: Conservatism
Of course, there was no glass in the window of the carriage, and when the bamboo curtain in front of it was opened, a cool breeze poured in during the journey, and the wind in late autumn was getting cooler and cooler. However, Xue Chongxun felt very soft and warm when he held that hand, and the warmth seemed to be transmitted along his body, and he felt that his heart was gradually softening. Perhaps his power is too great for many people to resist, and at the same time he can give too much to others, whenever he has this kind of warm feeling, he will reflexively fall into a circle of thinking: what if one day I lose everything, will she still stay by my side? He hasn't known Sun for a day or two, and he knows her very well.
Xue Chongxun suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile when he thought of this, and he said in his heart: It is actually pointless to think about these things. If one day you really fail and lose your power, as a person from a noble background, you have ascended the throne and become the emperor, even if others don't kill you, it won't make you feel better, as long as you don't want to be wantonly trampled on your dignity, the only way to go is suicide, what can you care about when people die? A person's life is originally a consumable that is constantly consumed, but people want to pursue the so-called eternity, such as liking diamonds. Actually, it doesn't mean much.
At the same time, life is inherently a loner.
Huaqing Palace is only sixty or seventy miles away from Chang'an, but because the carriage is slow, the road has been a whole day. This is usually a palace, Princess Taiping spent billions of dollars in the treasury to rebuild, and at the same time set up officials and palace maids and other maintenance personnel, stationed in the Yulin Army, but she can't stay here for too long a year.
When I arrived at the main gate of the Dehua Qing Palace, I saw a group of people at the door to greet the holy driver, but the convoy did not stop, and everyone did not even see the emperor. After entering the main gate, Li Kuiyong and the other armed forces of the Flying Tiger Regiment left the convoy to complete the task of escorting, went to the barracks to settle down, and replaced the eunuchs and palace maids of the Huaqing Palace to lead the way. A group of people through a lake on the spacious straight stone road, the opposite bank is the pavilion reflection, weeping willows on the shore of the image of wealth, spent billions of dollars to build a new palace garden is extraordinary, in the north foot of the Lishan like a fairy palace rising from the ground, and the outside of the natural landscape to form a contrast, straight like a paradise.
The carriage stopped outside the Changchun Hall complex, Xue Chongxun and others got off the car and walked, and the eunuchs and palace maids of Huaqing Palace saw the emperor appear, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long life is boundless." Xue Chongxun immediately issued an order: all the people in the side hall on the east side of the Changchun Palace should move out, and only the attendants who came from the Daming Palace were allowed to enter and leave to serve and live. The east side of the hall is called Yichun Palace, there are indoor hot springs and open-air hot springs below, Xue Chongxun also lived there before, the most suitable for recuperation and enjoyment, at this time there are no other nobles in the Huaqing Palace, you can arrange the Sun family in the best place.
So the eunuchs on duty in Yichun Hall and the miscellaneous servants who were usually responsible for cleaning were thrown out, and the original people of Huaqing Palace could only guard the door and did not dare to enter. Xue Chongxun took the people from Daming Palace to stay in this palace. The people from the Shangshi Bureau reported that they would eat half an hour later, and Xue Chongxun and Sun went to their respective bedrooms to rest for a while. Everyone sat in the carriage all day, and they did have some backache.
At this time, Sanniang took the opportunity to avoid it and said, "I'll look around, and I won't be here at dinner." ”
Xue Chongxun guessed that he was seen by Sanniang on the road, but he couldn't explain anything, so he had to let her go. He had nothing to do, so he walked around the Jiuqu Corridor for a while, moving his muscles and waiting for dinner. At this time, although it has entered autumn, the greening of Huaqing Palace is very good, and now there is no lack of greenery, and occasionally you can hear the birds chirping in the air, which is indeed a quiet and luxurious place.
As the sun goes down and the light dims, the beautiful building is covered with a faint mist, presumably formed by the water vapor in the hot springs. Xue Chongxun saw that the attendants began to light the lights, and some were picking up dishes from the door and sending them upstairs, but they had to wait for a while to start eating. According to the rules of the court, someone had to try the food before the emperor ate, and the meal would be opened only if there was no reaction after eating.
said that it was a dinner party, because the small number of people was actually just an ordinary meal, and no one else was allowed to come in, so naturally there was no program, that is, Xue Chongxun and Sun, and a few attendants standing next to him.
Xue Chongxun sat down next to the dining table, and after waiting for a while, the Sun family also came, only to see that she had already changed her clothes. Dark cyan shawls are somewhat rare, since the Tang Dynasty, this kind of shawl based on light and thin materials is mainly light green and light red and other colors, but the one that Sun has just changed is a dark color; Then the upper body is wearing a short purple undergarment, and the lower body is a long skirt.
Soon Xue Chongxun discovered the beauty of the dark blue shawl, it turned out that she was wearing a more conservative top, not like the half-exposed breast-bed Luo skirt, which only exposed a small piece of skin under the collarbone...... But this small piece of skin is exposed between the dark materials of purple and blue, which is more reverie than the exposed Luo skirt against the backdrop of the streamlined outline of the chest, and the little exposed skin is set off so white that Xue Chongxun has to further fantasize about the skin color under the outline. And because of the conservative style of clothes, she looks more virtuous and stable, and the best thing is that it does not affect her sexual sense. This time, Xue Chongxun realized that the seductive dress does not have to show too much.
One word popped into his mind: stuffy.
At this time, Sun looked back and said in a very casual tone: "There are very few people tonight...... There are no outsiders. The tone of the second half of the sentence was a little heavier, and Xue Chongxun suddenly thought of a lot......
"Let's eat." Xue Chongxun picked up the chopsticks and pretended to be calm.
The two ate quietly, Sun ate in small bites and maintained a dignified demeanor, and they didn't say much. In contrast, Xue Chongxun's movements were a bit of a rudeness, he was eating heavily, but his mind was not on the meal at all, until Sun reminded him.
Xue Chongxun finally couldn't help but say, "After eating and drinking tea for a while, let's go to the hot spring together." ”
Sun Shi was stunned, his cheeks were slightly red, and the maid next to him stood motionless and did not dare to make any movement. These Taiping princesses' henchmen and servants all knew that the Sun family was pregnant with the dragon species...... Naturally, I also understand that if these two men and women have nothing to do, how can they have children?
Probably the Sun family was afraid of what those palace maids would say in front of Princess Taiping after they went back, so they seemed a little restrained. Xue Chongxun saw it, so he brushed his sleeves and said, "You all go down, and don't follow later." ”
"Yes." The palace ladies curtsied, bowed their heads and walked away.
Sun gently put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice: "I've been a few months now, and I'm afraid that I can't wait for Xue Lang because of the fetal gas." ”
Xue Chongxun smiled: "It's okay, I'll wait for you, who called you an adult, I'll just use my tongue?" You can't go deep, but there's a little thing on the outside that can make you feel the effect you deserve. ”
Sun Shi was still sitting very upright across from the eating table, but his breathing was already heavier than usual, and he said quietly: "Xue Lang is like this...... But I am inconvenient to serve, can I have a desire in my heart? When I soak in the spring water, I can use my mouth...... Just never tried, you taught me. ”
Xue Chongxun said: "That alone can't solve the problem, your tongue has to be tired." I have a way, and there is another one, which will not alarm the belly. ”
"Xue Lang refers to ......" Sun's ears turned red, and then he remembered what he hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover his face, "this...... Xue Lang won't have Long Yangzhi, right? ”
Xue Chongxun hurriedly shook his head in denial, and said seriously: "How can I ever be better than a man?" I'm really not interested in that thing, but it's more interesting to hold a plump and soft woman in my arms. At this time, there was no one else, and Sun still felt embarrassed, and whispered: "Since you want it, I will follow you." It's just that the place is dry, so you need to prepare some oil. ”
"I thought of something better." Xue Chongxun looked happy, so he took up his position and shouted, "Come on, come on." Sun didn't know what he was doing, so he had to sit and wait.
After a while, a palace maid came in and answered, Xue Chongxun muttered to himself, "Is that thing a medicinal herb or an ingredient", and then instructed the palace maid: "Go to the Shangshi Bureau or somewhere else to find some yams." ”
The palace maid said blankly: "Your Majesty, what is a yam?" ”
"Yam, will there be? I remember that the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has recorded it. Xue Chongxun said. As for what the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is, the palace maid doesn't know, and the Sun family may not have heard of it. He had no choice but to gesture and say, "What grows in the soil is a long strip when dug up, and when you peel off the skin, the white inside can be boiled and eaten, of course you don't cook it and bring it." If the skin is peeled, there will be sticky paste, which is very slippery and unstable. Probably that's it, there must be! ”
The palace maid suddenly said: "Your Majesty is talking about potatoes!" ”
"It should be, you go find a little bit and come over, this is the holy decree." Xue Chongxun said. The palace maid hurriedly responded and ran.
Sun already understood what Xue Chongxun meant, and said with a red face: "Where did Xue Lang hear that the potato is called a yam?" But the potatoes are really slippery after peeling, why did you suddenly remember to use that thing......
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "The pulp of potatoes is smoother than oil, and it is a plant that is harmless and easy to clean, but it is much better than using oil." Or with lard? Or tung oil? There is also a lot of flavor that affects Yaxing. ”
Sun lowered his head and said, "Then you have to slow down and ...... lightly."
