Chapter 31: Entering the Palace
Xue Fugui greeted Commander Xiao, and when he looked up, he actually found that his son was standing behind Commander Xiao, and seeing his surprised gaze, Xue Pingping just shouted "Dad" softly, and swaggered away with Commander Xiao.
Xue Fugui rubbed his eyes, it was indeed his son Xue Pingping, I really didn't expect that it had only been three days since he went to the Imperial Forest Army, and this kid could actually walk in the palace! Xue Fugui watched the guards go away, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until Tian Jinkang shouted "father-in-law", he came back to his senses, turned around and walked towards Taihe Gate with Tian Jinkang.
At this time, Dream Youyou had already come to Zhuangzi in the north of the city with Gu Nanzhi.
I don't know where Gu Nanzhi found this old Mr. Wang, who is said to be proficient in the planting and maintenance of horticultural flower beds, and today they are going to investigate the field and analyze what is suitable for planting.
This piece of land is in the mountains, the soil is rough, mixed with stones, because the land is not fertile enough, and there is not enough rain, last year this land was planted with some crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, the yield is not high, the quality is not too good, can only be treated as pig feed cheaply, even the servant's salary is not enough.
After looking around, Gu Nanzhi sighed, Meng Youyou frowned, but Mr. Wang said calmly: "Although this land is not fertile enough, I am confident that it will become a treasure land within three years." ”
"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Wang's clever plan is? Gu Nanzhi asked.
"This piece can be divided into two pieces, the one near the hillside is used to grow grapes, the grapes are sweet and juicy, and they are very popular with dignitaries. This area is relatively flat, and you can build greenhouses and cultivate roses and lilies to ensure that you don't have to worry about sales. Mr. Wang said slowly, as if he smelled the fragrance of flowers and saw the full and sparkling grapes......
"Okay, just according to what you said, if you have any requirements, just mention it!"
Mr. Wang smiled faintly, "I don't ask for money, just to show my craft." If you can trust me, you can trust me to do it. ”
After discussing the purchase of seedlings, land improvement, manpower arrangement, etc., Mr. Wang decided to stay in Zhuangzi from today onwards and began to make preparations.
After lunch, Meng Youyou and Gu Nanzhi got into the carriage and went home. After entering the city, when parting, Gu Nanzhi called Meng Youyou, took out a beautiful square box from the carriage, and said to her: "Meng Niang, this is my newly designed butterfly and flower dress, you go back and try to see if it fits." ”
Mengyouyou happily took it, "Okay, I'll wear it to the silk village tomorrow." ”
Xue Pingping followed Commander Xiao to inspect the palace all morning, and had a general understanding of the layout of the palace. At this time, the court had dispersed, and he had lunch with the guards, and General Wang sent a Gonggong Li to deliver a message and ask him to wait outside the imperial study.
I want to see the emperor! Xue Pingping followed behind Gonggong Li with some excitement, walked all the way, and came to the outside of the imperial study, where General Wang was also waiting outside, and told him in a low voice: "The emperor is eating." After eating, the emperor should take a nap, and then you will serve and relieve the emperor's fatigue, remember, talk less, and if you say more, you will lose. ”
"Okay, the little one understands, General Xie mentions." Xue Pingping said respectfully, and then straightened his clothes.
After a while, Gonggong Li came out and motioned for Xue Pingping to go in.
Xue Pingping lowered his eyebrows and followed Gonggong Li to the imperial study.
Entering the imperial study, Gonggong Li bowed his head and waist, standing aside and not moving, Xue Pingping stood behind Gonggong Li, waiting for orders.
The royal case dragon chair is glittering with golden light, the treasures of the vermilion lacquer treasure pavilion are listed, and there is a hazy figure behind the embroidered screen.
"Your Majesty, is the concubine's soup delicious?" A woman's coquettish voice.
"It's delicious, but not as delicious as yours." A mellow and deep male voice.
"Your Majesty, you are so bad~ah~"
"You go back first, and I'll have a good taste of it in the evening."
"The concubine is waiting."
Luo curtain flickered, and a bright and beautiful woman came out of it, with a waist and limbs, and a dark fragrance floating.
Gonggong Li immediately stepped forward to open the door, smiled flatteringly, and said, "Concubine Li, go slowly." ”
Li Concubine glanced at Xue Pingping, who was standing aside, from the corner of her eye, and under her thick eyelashes, a trace of imperceptible light flashed, and she continued to walk out elegantly.
After closing the door, Li Gonggong asked Xue Pingping to go inside with him.
A man in a bright yellow dragon robe was gargling with tea, and a white-bearded man was bending down to hold a spittoon.
This old man should be the most trusted Huang Gonggong around the emperor, the emperor's food, clothing, sitting and lying are all served by Huang Gonggong, although Huang Gonggong is a eunuch, there are many people who flatter him, after all, he is the closest person to the emperor, with him to mention, it will be much more convenient to act, at least he will not commit the emperor's taboo. It seems that he has to find an opportunity to envelop Huang Gonggong.
Gonggong Li motioned for him to salute with his eyes. Xue Pingping was stunned for a moment before he understood, and immediately knelt on his legs, leaned on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Under Xue Pingping, please say hello to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”
His voice wasn't loud, but it was absolutely clear. But as if the emperor didn't hear it, he rinsed his mouth, ate a plump grape to moisten his mouth, slowly spit the grape skin on Huang Gonggong's hand, took the silk handkerchief handed by Huang Gonggong, wiped his mouth, and then wiped his hands carefully.
"Get up." Only then did the emperor open his mouth and call him up.
Xue Pingping calmly got up and stood up, bowing his eyebrows and bowing his head.
The emperor glanced at him casually, and was about to look away, but was attracted by his handsome face, "You raise your head." ”
Xue Pingping raised his head and calmly accepted the emperor's scrutiny. Although he didn't dare to look directly at the emperor's gaze, he was also secretly observing the emperor's demeanor.
This is the real dragon chapter and phoenix posture, handsome and handsome facial features, revealing coldness, not angry and self-assured, exuding the momentum of a king, looking like he is in his forties, but he has a calm and confident bearing. It's just that he looks a little tired, and between a pair of sword eyebrows, there are faint Sichuan character lines, which should be because he often frowns. As the king of a country, how can he not be tired if he has to worry about the affairs of his family and country, balance the power of the court, and have a huge harem waiting for him to moisturize?
"What will you do?"
"When I go back to the emperor, I will massage it in the next place, so that the emperor can relax and sleep for a while."
The emperor nodded, and agreed. Xue Pingping was about to step forward, but Gonggong Huang stopped him.
Gonggong Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Please go with the slave to clean your hands, burn incense and change clothes." "The emperor's dragon body is precious, how can it be touched at will?
But in a moment, Xue Pingping had already changed into a loose white shirt, and came to the dragon couch again, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at it, and felt that the immortal had descended, and the fairy spirit was fluttering, and the jade face was very pleasing to the eye.
The emperor leaned on the couch and closed his eyes, Huang Gonggong nodded lightly to him, and then he stepped forward, stretched out his warm fingers with fragrance, and gently pressed and kneaded them on the emperor's temples, the strength slowly changed from light to heavy, and then expanded to the head, face, shoulders and neck.
Xue Pingping's movements were slow, and his strength was just right, because from the emperor's subtle expression, he could see that the emperor had completely relaxed, his eyebrows and eyes were softly stretched, his breathing became even, and he soon fell asleep. But Xue Pingping did not stop the movements in his hands, and from top to bottom, he dredged several acupuncture points and meridians that improve body functions one by one. From the top of his head to the Yongquan point at the bottom of his feet, Xue Pingping was meticulous, and it was not until Huang Gonggong shook his head at him that he stopped and stepped aside.
