Chapter 11: Sudden ecstasy soothes the bowels
It is estimated that the matter of the southern tour is really going to be confirmed, and there has been a lot of rumors in the harem in the past few days. Because of the Quxia project in the south, I should have gone there last year. After the end of the first month, the ministers are reconsidering. Yun Xi has also been very busy these days, and went to Laiyin Palace to sit at noon on the tenth day of the first month, and went to the outer court at noon. In addition to this incident, I heard that the northern border is not very peaceful, and these things are added together, so that he has not come to the harem for several days.
However, these few days are a scarlet time, so you don't have to be cautious with him, and continue your own layout steadily. It rained for a day and a night on the tenth day of the first month, followed by several sunny days in a row, the wicker sashes were pumped green, the flowers and plants were the same day by day, and they jumped vigorously, and the palace began to prepare to remove the cotton curtains, change the window screens, and rush to send a new spring dress to the palace maid and eunuch.
Scarlet Heart was also so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and when she went back that day, Concubine De was not very happy. Scarlet knows what she's angry about, and she doesn't care. Scarlet knows that Concubine De is not in the same place as her, and she is not a person who can conspire. Since the southern tour will be a foregone conclusion, the matter of Qiuwei must be stopped, and the martial arts test is estimated to be postponed. The cousin's side didn't need her to plan at this time, she simply collected her mind and operated it wholeheartedly.
On March 14, good news came from Fuqing Palace, and Jun Concubine was pregnant. I heard that the doctor came to report, saying that the day must be a month, and I think it was in the palace.
Last year, there were three concubines who entered the palace, Ling Concubine, Jun Concubine, and Concubine. The concubine Ling's family background is the worst, but she is ranked among the three concubines, which is a good opportunity for the emperor to attack the Ruan family to promote newcomers. Jun concubine, and two concubines, their family backgrounds are modest. It's just not good or bad, the family can't talk about the royal humerus, but it can be regarded as conscientious. Running for election as usual, and finally being able to give a title, it means that you can get into the eyes of the emperor. Because of the proximity of the seal, several of them are relatively close. But the handsome concubine is decent, it is to compete for favor, and it is also to adopt reasonable methods, and it will not be excessive, so Scarlet Heart has always had a good impression of her.
After the good news of the concubine came, Scarlet immediately prepared a gift and sent it to Chang An. She didn't go in person because she was afraid of touching the emperor, and she was afraid that the emperor would be happy when she poured tea a few days ago. Since last year's Mrs. Ninghua and Lin Xueqing, the women in the harem have not moved their stomachs, and now that the spring solstice is coming, don't see her when the emperor is not happy, so he is unwilling to ask for that shame. The scarlet etiquette has always been very regular, and a little sensitive thing is not given. It's a hundred sub maps, a hundred clothes and the like, which is similar to what was given to Xue Qing at the beginning.
In addition to the scarlet gift, Concubine De also went to greet in person, and everyone in the harem expressed it. Don't mention the real or fake, anyway, it's a lot of fun.
But on March 15, Ju'an Mansion came to spread the word that the emperor had let the concubine sleep. Scarlet was a little surprised when she heard this, but she had to prepare and go to the Qianyuan Palace.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, the curtains were all raised, Yun Xi was lying on the recliner of the dormitory pavilion reading a book, there were nine candle trees on both sides, green silk carpets were hung on the walls, and the pavilions on both sides were carved and transparent.
Scarlet saw the driver, saw that he didn't raise his eyebrows, and knew that he must have another order, so he knelt down and waited for him to speak.
Yun Xi tilted his side and said lightly, "Are your feet better?" ”
"The concubine Xie Emperor cares, and the concubine has fully recovered." When Scarlet listened, he responded.
He was quiet for a moment, and then said, "The concubine is happy, isn't the concubine happy?" ”
Scarlet was stunned, where did this start? He hung his head and said: "The concubine has been favored by the saint, blessed and sheltered, and now she is pregnant with the dragon descendant, which is a happy event for the whole country to celebrate, why should the concubine be unhappy?" ”
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her: "Yesterday, all the concubines went to Fuqing Palace to congratulate, but the concubine had such a big shelf, just send a slave?" "The concubine doesn't dare." Scarlet secretly complained, no wonder she came up and asked her about her foot injury first, and now she doesn't even have an excuse, "The concubine is thinking that the concubine has a happy event, and there must be a lot of sisters who come and go." Afraid of disturbing my sister's tranquility, I didn't go to it. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. "Look at this meaning, he is still not happy in his heart, and wants to trouble her! Scarlet brains turned eight hundred times, reply carefully, and don't dare to provoke him again! Today she is dressed up very well, anyway, it is better to be lifeless than to make a tea soup.
Yun Xi saw that her face was flushed, as if she was afraid of being infamous with jealousy, she stared slightly and said: "The matter of the southern tour has been agreed in the past few days, and the affairs department has already started to prepare." You should also pay more attention to it. ”
"Concubines must be careful and vigilant." When I heard this, my heart widened, and I was a little excited. It has been 16 years since the Holy Lord ascended the throne, and in a big battle like the Southern Tour, Scarlet Heart has not had the opportunity to participate in the operation. She found that she was really a tired life, and she was so happy when she heard that there was a task. But her face was still very calm and careful, and she didn't show it at all.
"The matter inside, Ju'an will report to you at that time, if you have any orders, go directly to Wang Chenghai." Yun Xi looked at her lowered eyes, Wang Chenghai was the chief manager of Ju'an Mansion, and if he wanted to support him, of course the emperor had to spit out.
When Wang Chenghai heard this, he knelt down and responded: "Niangniang, where is there anyone who is not satisfied at the bottom of Ju'an Mansion, Niangniang just instructs the slaves." ”
"Thank you to the emperor, the concubines must be careful and will not make any mistakes." The scarlet heart is beautiful, and the speech becomes sonorous and powerful for a while.
"Didn't Concubine De want to trick me that day? Why doesn't the concubine keep her mouth shut now and don't give some news to her good sister? Yun Xi saw that she didn't mean to ask about the entourage list, so she elbowed her elbows for a while and spoke with interest.
"In the deliberations between the DPRK and China, how can there be a reason for concubines to talk too much? That day, Concubine De's sister was just talking to her concubine about ......" Halfway through the scarlet words, Yun Xi had already interrupted impatiently: "The concubine always twists and turns, am I still a child?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Scarlet was busy crouching, "The southern tour is accompanied, naturally it is all up to the emperor to decide, and the concubines dare not speak falsely." ”
"Get up." Yun Xi listened to her words with a lot of formality, and suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly, and stretched out her hand to greet her, "Come and sit." ”
When Scarlet saw this posture, he became a little nervous again. The most important thing is that she saw that Wang Chenghai's feet were moving outward, as if she wanted to make room, and her heart somehow began to jump around!
She stood up awkwardly and moved inch by inch for a long time before moving over. He pulled her over, stretched out his hand and removed the hairpin on her head, his expression was still faint, but there was a bit of nasal in his voice: "I think that if the concubine is less burdened by these miscellaneous things, her words will be less boring." ”
Scarlet Heart's whole person was about to fall down, his hands were stiff and his back was stiff, and his face was almost wooden. With a snatch of his hand, he threw her all over him, and the candle flame was bright, reflecting her face redder and redder.
Scarlet eyes don't know where to put them, it's awkward to look everywhere, her heart is beating more and more rapidly, and it is difficult for her to control it when she jumps out. It's not that she's panicking, she's really not going to deal with that. And with the frenzy of thinking about the last time, she felt a little self-spurning in her heart, she really didn't want to be like the last time.
"How many days can I take my medicine on time?" Yun Xi lowered her eyes, her chin rubbing against her forehead.
"Emperor Xie cares, and the concubines have always served on time." Scarlet stiffened her neck and whispered.
"Your heart is beating so fast." He suddenly whispered, his hand moved up and down her neck, and he looked at her, "This time I will go south, I will pass through Huai'an." The night of cinnamon fragrance is just the time of homesickness. To the Huai'an period, it is estimated that it is in the Mid-Autumn Festival! ”
I was stunned for a moment, remembering that in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she casually wrote two poems in Zhongdu Garden, and I didn't expect the emperor to remember it to this day! Mid-Autumn Festival, homesickness, Huai'an laurel fragrance, must be full of fragrance! His words made her heart beat more and more wildly.
"If I mean you to go with me, how are you going to thank me?" His thumb caressed her face, the corners of his lips slightly raised. He's always been like this, and Scarlet sometimes thinks a little out of the way. If he does business, he may have a better hand than her father!
She was so excited that her hands trembled a little, her body trembled a little, her eyes were foggy, and her voice was twisted and turned: "Really, really, really......" She opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't say a whole sentence. She was not excited because she could return to her hometown to explore, but because she would bring unprecedented glory to the Lezheng family by driving Xingnan.
"Nature is true." His hand was a little dishonest at this time, but he couldn't care about it, and he trembled his lips and said: "Emperor, the emperor's grace, ministers, concubines are not enough to die......"
Yun Xi suddenly reflexively pressed her and rubbed the tip of her nose: "The concubine's words are still very boring, it seems that the cumbersome is not enough!" As she spoke, her lips pressed over, and the coolness made her moan. Her kitten-like mur ignited his fire, sending a muffled laugh into his throat as he undulated. He rubbed her hair as he ventilated: "If you talk later, that's it." So saying, he kissed her again, as if robbing her of air.
He was still enthusiastic, still liked to be in strange places, and this time he ran to the chaise longue again. It's a lot narrower than a bed, so it's very tightly entangled. The scarlet heart was filled with the things of the southern tour, and he didn't care much about it in a trance, but he didn't allow her to wander, and when he found out that she was in a trance, he bit her and let her burn to the top with him. Scarlet felt that he had said a lot in her ear, but she couldn't hear it, or that it was just her hallucination, a hallucination caused by her mind dancing. But when her body senses were pushed to the limit, she couldn't see or hear clearly, she just felt very hot and hot, but she wanted to hug her tightly.
When Scarlet woke up, he found that he was already in bed. There was silence all around, with a faint dim light streaming through the tents. She lay facing her, with his arms behind her. From Yun Xi's breathing, Scarlet knew that he was sleeping deeply. It is estimated that the time is still very early, otherwise there will be a eunuch to call for it. His arm was still wrapped around her, and she knew she would wake up so early because she was so excited. If she really toured the south with the emperor, the court would definitely let her father take over because of her, and the money would definitely be spent, but looking at it, how many people in the Manchu Dynasty could take this grace?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, the more she thought about it, the more sober she became, and her heart was beating endlessly. She let out a slight breath, trying to calm herself. She lay quietly, and I don't know how long it took, but she felt his arms tighten slightly, and her body moved slightly. She didn't dare to speak, let alone move. didn't move for a long time, and was pondering in his head, when suddenly he pushed the back of his head: "Pretend, pretend?" ”
His voice was still a little hoarse, but his words made her a little embarrassed. He clinged to her and wrapped his legs around her: "You can't hold it down in your heart, and you'll be sleepy if you have something." He snorted softly, his breath tickling in her neck, but his voice was very casual, making her less restrained, "Morning, sleep for a while." ”
She lay quietly and said in a low voice: "It's the concubine who is impetuous, disturbing the emperor's good sleep." ”
"Come on." He grunted, as if he was about to fall asleep again.
Scarlet was silent for a while, bringing out a silent laugh. She thought about it for a while, and finally whispered again: "The concubine's words are boring, and she can't comfort the Sacred Heart." But the concubine is loyal ......" she choked back these words, feeling that it would be boring to show loyalty, and muttered a little embarrassed, "The concubine's cooking skills are mediocre, if the emperor appreciates her face, the concubine wants to invite the emperor to ......" The more she spoke, the lower she became, and the last words were basically in her stomach. She didn't hear his reaction for a long time, and that little courage was all gone, and finally turned into a slight cry, and he probably fell asleep early.
Scarlet just closed her eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, when suddenly the back of her head was pushed down again, which almost didn't make her bite her tongue. She was stunned, and he had already flipped her over: "What did you just say?" ”
"The concubine's words are boring...... she didn't react a little, and she was too close, her eyes were facing the tip of his nose, and she felt that she was about to meet, so that her eyes were a little eye-to-eye.
"No, what did you say at the end?" The way he looked at her was amusement. There was no sleepiness in his eyes, and his long hair fell to his shoulders, shaking out light and shadow.
"Please invite the emperor to go to the Hui Palace for dinner." She quickly bit out a few words, her neck shrunk, and she didn't speak, only to feel her heart fluttering, and her ears were burning and hurting.
She said so quickly that he was stunned for a moment. He stared stunned for a while, suddenly stretched his eyebrows, lay down beside her again, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Wang Chenghai's voice outside: "Your Majesty, it's been a while." Yun Xi listened, and looked sideways at Scarlet Heart, and it happened that she was also looking this way, and the two looked at each other. The scarlet heart was a little sneering, she felt guilty, and gossiped for a long time, causing him not to sleep, but when he looked at it, he was a little uncomfortable, and his eyes staggered away.
Yun Xi sat up, and Scarlet Heart also got up to serve. He squeezed her: "Not bad for you." As he spoke, he wrapped her up and lifted the tent. Wang Chenghai had already prepared everything here, and there were Chen Huaide and a few close eunuchs and palace maids standing below. Scarlet shrank in the quilt and pretended to sleep, and she could hear the sound outside, and somehow, like a lullaby, made her fall asleep again.
Yunxi arrived at the Hui Palace at dusk, and after returning to the palace in the morning, Scarlet began to chatter, cooking a few dishes himself. I haven't done it for several years, and it's a little deserted, but the embroidery spirits are very happy when they see the concubine open their minds, and they are busy laying down their hands and tossing one slip away. When Yun Xi came, Scarlet Heart was careful again, her expression was a little pious, and she was a little daze when she saw Xiu Ling, and she didn't know what grace the emperor gave to the concubine, so that her eyes kept shining. After dinner in the evening, Yunxi didn't leave and stayed in the Hui Palace.
The next day, Scarlet went to Fuqing Palace in person to greet her, yesterday when the emperor said she did not go in person, this Scarlet Heart kept it in mind, got up and asked the Queen Mother to go to Fuqing Palace. Now her mind is full of things about the southern tour, so she is not only grateful to the emperor, she worships like a god, so she has to hug the emperor back for the slightest unpleasantness. Not only did he go to see Jun Concubine, but he also specially instructed the imperial doctor who kept the fetus for Jun Concubine, and he also went to Chang'en Hall to pray for blessings.
The emperor also issued an order, and from now on, the concubine will be exempted from kneeling according to the rules of his wife, and concentrate on protecting the fetus. added the ritual system but did not officially seal it, this intention is understood by everyone, it is to see whether the concubine's stomach is fighting or not.
Jun Concubine is not a figure at the center of the conspiracy, and the family is not involved in any party disputes. If you give birth to a son, promotion is inevitable, but because the possibility of becoming a queen is extremely small, it is normal for the emperor to do this.
The performance of the palaces is also relatively normal, Scarlet knows that Concubine De is a little invisible, Concubine De's thoughts are not the same as Scarlet Heart, and her enthusiasm for the emperor is far greater than her concern for other things. Just by looking at her management, you can see that she can still see a board at the beginning, but she will be annoyed in a few days, and the most important thing to care about every day is the emperor's living note. See which palace the emperor is going to and which woman he is with. I didn't think much of it, and at first I secretly persuaded a few words, it was boring to be idle, but then I didn't want to pay attention to it, everyone has their own plans, she plunged into it, and it was useless to persuade her.
Now that the concubine is pregnant, it is normal for the emperor to greet him with compassion and gifts. Besides, during the palace in the first month, the most people who crowded to go to the emperor were her and Hua Meiren. Her own stomach didn't move, and when she had a handsome concubine, she could only sigh that her luck was not good, it was something that she couldn't control at all, so why bother to worry about it?
I heard from the people below that Concubine De listened to the letter yesterday, although she also gave a gift, she went to ask in person. But when I returned to the palace, I was lazy and bored, and then I didn't know why I fought with the minions, which made the whole Laiyin Palace like a frightened bird. Speaking of which, the unhappiness she showed was even more obvious, and the emperor didn't say anything!
But Scarlet doesn't have the heart to worry about this, since the matter of the Southern Tour is confirmed, she has a lot of work to do next. Moreover, at this time, it is the time period of the royal change of seasons, and in early April, there is a cold food festival and a Qingming Festival, so she is very busy.
But the following days made Scarlet a little depressed, starting from March 15 to the second day of April, she became a favorite harem again. The emperor either stayed in the Hui Palace, or summoned the concubine to the Qianyuan Palace.
Scarlet was really a little scared, he had been like this for a while last year, but it was because he wanted to take action against the Ruan family and borrowed the smoke she released. This time he is like this again, making him tremble, I don't know what his idea is.
But no matter how you think about it, the matter of the southern tour is already being prepared, and he will not calculate anything here. Could it be that you can help Jun Concubine turn her attention to her? But it's not right, I said before that I would let her go with her, so even if there is anything wrong with the concubine, it will not be possible to count her head, and the possibility of using her as a target is very small.
But now, how can Scarlet be an example? She just disposed of the gorgeous beauty and the spirit concubine, and the good news came from the concubine here, and now the scarlet heart is immediately favored, so how can the concubines be convinced? The most important thing is Concubine De, although she doesn't plan to conspire with Concubine De anymore, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family, but she also doesn't want Concubine De to be too jealous of her. Concubine De is on the same level as her, and she really doesn't want to do anything before the southern tour.
Although Scarlet Heart was dissatisfied, he also had the courage to speak loudly to Yun Xi. quoted from the past to the present and pulled a set of truths such as the dangers of the concubine's exclusive pet, to be honest, this is already the limit of scarlet heart. Although she admired those famous ministers who braved their lives, she didn't do that. In fact, it's not that she's afraid of death, it's that she feels that she hasn't reached that point now. After all, it only takes a few days, and the harem is also under her control. Another thing is that the southern tour has been put on the agenda, and seeing that she can get a great honor for the Lezheng family, how can she make trouble for this little thing at this time to the end.
Therefore, when she made a message to the emperor, she was not adopted but was directly overthrown, and after he tossed more fiercely that day, Scarlet carefully weighed the pros and cons, and returned to the previous appearance of a gutless bandit, he can do whatever he likes.
On the second day of the fourth month, the scarlet moon came again. She was a little excited when she found out at noon, and she felt a sense of relief. Actually, it's not that she thinks it's painful, it's that she spits on her uncontrollable debauchery. She always felt that if she continued like this, she might reveal a more ugly side, and she could not allow herself to be corrupted any longer. So she has to pull back from the precipice!
She tried to stay awake when she was most intimate with him, even the extreme method of biting her tongue and pinching her thigh, but all failed. Sometimes as soon as she bites, he comes over and bites again, and as soon as he bites Scarlet's brain, it twists into twists. As for pinching his thighs, it was even a little difficult to control, and once he even pinched his thighs by mistake...... Scarlet Heart is a little helpless now, and he can't listen to Gao Kuo. It's hard for her to control herself now, so she's a little excited to find out that the letter date is coming as scheduled.
Yun Xi came to the Hui Palace when he was about to arrive, in addition to the matter of the southern tour recently, the secret courtyard of His Excellency Wenhua, because the Xinghua Pavilion in the inner court wanted to set up six courtyards to write books, and the two sides made a lot of trouble. From facing up to down, a bunch of old vegetables and melon seeds had purple faces, blowing their beards and glaring at their eyes, and their official robes were pulled crookedly. From time to time, books were written on the ground, which made Yunxi not quiet for a moment.
Mandarin Court has always been in charge of ceremonial affairs, as well as foreign affairs such as negotiations with other countries. And its subordinate Chong Secret Academy, located on the south side of the Qianyuan Palace, also served as the emperor's ghostwriter. In fact, this is in conflict with the position of His Excellency Xinghua. This is because the first emperor favored Zuo Cheng of Wenhua Pavilion back then, relied on him for everything, and often left him in the palace to talk about learning. Later, the institute was simply set up and a group of talents were recruited for lecturing. At that time, Yunxi's enlightenment teacher was the palace school of Wenhua Pavilion, who knew the past and the present, and was knowledgeable.
As the secretary of the inner court, Xinghua Pavilion wrote historical books for the royal family, lectured and assisted the emperor in handling daily documents. The hustle and bustle of Wenhua Pavilion has made Xinghua Pavilion keep its head down, which is also a disadvantage over the years.
In the past few years, Yun Xi has sent a group of scholars from Wenhua Pavilion to go to the place to train. At the same time, it is also because the Wenhua Pavilion is commonplace, intertwined, and the officials in various centers are connected, which is not as proper as the Xinghua Pavilion in the inner court.
He is well aware of the art of controlling the ministers, in fact, he really hopes that Wenhua Pavilion will withdraw from the palace, take care of their etiquette, and stop wandering around and climbing farther and farther. But he also knows very well that as an emperor, it is important to control his courtiers. If he came forward to support Xinghua Pavilion at this time, he would definitely link up with many subordinate departments such as the Xuanlu Institute of the Outer Court and the Zhuyi Hall.
In fact, this matter, like the Ruan family, cannot be solved overnight. First release some officials of the secret courtyard, ascend and descend secretly, and it can't be too obvious, and then slowly absorb new available talents to enter, and then set up a transfer to Xinghua Pavilion. Gradually, the secret courtyard was filled in the air, and the power was completely transferred.
For such patience, he has. He sees the longer term, so he can wait longer. It's just that some fierce pedants can't bear it, and as soon as they play, they have to fight for it. Yun Xi let them quarrel around, when they were in a good mood, they would watch it as a joke, and if they were in a bad mood, they would hide out and disappear, anyway, they couldn't chase them to the harem with their robes!
So these days, he didn't live in Qiyuan Palace, but went to Huihui Palace or Qianyuan Palace. In the past few days, even the Qianyuan Palace has not returned much, because it is too close to Xinghua Wenhua, the old men sometimes really go out and kneel at the gate of the palace, chattering endlessly, with an old face of loyalty to the monarch and protecting the country!
The reason why he didn't want to go elsewhere was also because he had been annoyed recently, and there were a bunch of old men scolding and scolding at him. As for the harem, since the letter of the southern tour was transmitted into the harem, it was all knocked on the side to inquire about the number of palace concubines who accompanied it. Yun Xi was so annoyed that she simply didn't see anyone.
He has his reasons for mentioning scarlet every day, of course, some of these reasons are more bad, and sometimes he finds it boring to think about, but now it has become his main motivation.
Today he entered the Hui Palace, and Scarlet welcomed him in to settle down, and told him that he couldn't sleep today. Yun Xi looked at her excited expression, although Scarlet thought that she was acting very plain, but in Yun Xi's eyes, she was excited. He replied lightly, but had no intention of leaving. At this time, he was crooked on the couch, leaning on the soft cushion to look at the folds, and there was a small eight-toad incense burner on the kang table, which was smoked with mulberry lotus seeds. It was just the beginning of April, but the weather was obviously hot in the past few days, and the flowers were blooming outside, and even the begonias planted in the middle courtyard of the Hui Palace had bloomed a lot in advance.
"It's time, this time it's quite accurate, it's not bad for ten days and half a month, it's not bad." He folded his legs and said casually, "You don't have to wait here, go to sleep." ”
I was stunned, last month was the first day of the new year, and this time it was the second day of the new year. It's already the most accurate! After taking Imperial Physician Feng's medicine for a month, it is still effective, although there is still some pain in the lower abdomen, but it is not as cool as usual.
But he also remembered it, which made Scarlet a little embarrassed. She is not happy now, and it is not easy to serve the emperor. But it was really inappropriate to put him here to sleep by herself, so she thought about it, but still did not go far, and quietly stepped aside to listen to his instructions.
After a while, Yun Xi stretched her waist, and saw that she was still standing far away. Scarlet has never had much to talk about with him, so if he doesn't sleep with Scarlet Heart, he has a feeling of the difficulty of time, but when he thinks about it, he criticizes himself for a long time.
As soon as he saw her looking like a fugue, he didn't know what to think about standing there, so he suddenly raised his voice: "Tea." ”
He said a word, and Scarlet immediately reacted, and came over to take the tea on the small table away, and handed it to the little palace maid next to him to change the heat. He looked at her, "Since you don't want to sleep, sit down for a while." As he spoke, he reached out to his side and asked her to sit down. Scarlet paused slightly: "The concubine is ......"
He looked at her with a smirk and silenced her, yes, she used to get him all over the bed. What are you embarrassed to say now? She sat down beside him in a daze, her head bowed in boredom. She doesn't need to be like this on weekdays, sometimes she sends the emperor away, and he is at his own convenience. Then I don't have to get some small things, or just sleep in the compartment to be passed on. But because the southern tour was imminent, he was very excited, so he worked extra hard.
Scarlet took the tonic prescribed by Imperial Doctor Feng at night, and felt sleepy after sitting for a while. So she had been standing just now, and no one would pay attention to her, and the embroidered spirits were far away. Wang Chenghai is even more accustomed to keeping up with the emperor, and he can not make a sound for a long time, as if he does not exist. Scarlet listened to the emperor turn the pages from time to time, bringing out the sound of paper, and the lullaby generally made Scarlet Heart sleepy.
Wang Chenghai smiled bitterly in his heart, this concubine doesn't even have the same way of stammering the emperor. Just find a topic to talk about, won't this atmosphere come out? Tonight, the breeze is soft, and the flowers and branches are dancing outside, and it is also interesting to drink two cups. It's just a minion here! The emperor didn't know if he deliberately wanted to see the joke of the concubine, so he just stood still here.
Scarlet is getting more and more sleepy the more he sits, and even the ghost is out in front of him. In addition, he was tired of serving him for several days, and at this time there was nothing to do, and the whole person was in an extremely aggrieved state. I don't know how long it took, her whole body was upside down, and suddenly she leaned forward and put her head on Yun Xi's shoulder.
Yun Xi closed the fold and glanced at Wang Chenghai, whose face was already suffocating. Yun Xi was speechless for a while, let her sleep she didn't sleep, now if he didn't block here, his head would have to smash on the kang table! Lezheng scarlet heart, you stubborn donkey!
Yun Xi copied this and hugged Scarlet Heart to the dormitory. Wang Chenghai was very considerate, and he didn't ask people to serve him, but just bowed his waist to the side to protect him.
The night was already deep, and when it was close, Yun Xi didn't feel sleepy, slowly paced down the steps, passed the curtain, and couldn't help but fall on Huang Huali's dressing table. The dressing table is extremely wide and long, sticking along the wall, embedded with mirrors at all angles, and there are makeup cabinets on both sides, and drawers are set up below.
Suddenly, he saw a silk horn peeking out from under the vanity cabinet on the left side of the table. This makeup cabinet is also a small compartment one by one, without handles, only with small concave buckles. The small cabinet is double-layered with gold foil and inlaid with various colored broken crystals, and the wisps of pink and yellow are pressed into the cracks of the cabinet. He slowly stretched out his hand and pulled it, the silk silk was extremely slippery, thin and impermeable, and let him pull it out. Pink and yellow, there is no embroidery all over the body, but there is handwriting!
Yun Xi looked at it through the lantern yarn, it was a poem. The handwriting is beautiful, neat and thin, and the words are like people, and the scarlet heart is no different! She has always believed that poetry and songs are all made for idleness, and should not be indulged in it. This is true for men, and even more so for women. Therefore, she rarely writes these things, and she is even more reluctant to write poems in front of everyone. At the banquet in the palace, the queen mother sometimes asked the concubines to compose poems to help the fun, and the poems made by the scarlet heart were also more than rules, but not enough talent.
This poem is "September 18th Qingyao Pond Chrysanthemum Feeling", the poem says: The new dew is cold on the multi-treasure pagoda, and the jade building is cold in the spring. The bleak wind and bitter rain are in the jade hall, and the withered tung remnants are broken gold. The oblique sun looks at the yellow warbler in the distance, and the string moon reflects the blue heart white. Baibi destroys the lonely beauty, and the thousand reds scatter the golden stamen. When the ice and snow turn into a sword, the frozen muscle and bone incense still contains. In this life, I only wish that the branches will be old, and I will not beg for mercy from Dongjun.
He looked at it in a daze, and the poetry was still mediocre, but it was not as if it had been in front of everyone, just to cope. Poetry is issued for affection, and it is developed for meaning. No matter what the rhyme is, all you want is the thoughts that appear in the poem. He has seen too many wonderful sentences, but this one makes him sigh even more. "In this life, I only wish that the branches will be old, and I will not beg for mercy from Dongjun." Le Zheng is scarlet, she finally said what was in her heart! She is simply lonely and self-appreciative, and she does not envy the spring breeze. She will also stammer him and please him, but the way she stammers and curry favor is very different from the spring flowers in the garden. He is the "Dongjun" in her heart, and she can't wait for the next season, and she doesn't want to wait.
When I first saw her, she was seven points similar to Ruan Hui, and her demeanor was more similar, and her every move was like a well-designed. Very good, he knows that the Queen Mother will not give up, and he will definitely put eyeliner in the harem again. This time, I got a Le Zheng scarlet like Ruan Hui, whose father was a businessman who was born as an official and a greedy person for profit, and he is indeed the best candidate in the eyes of the Queen Mother!
However, the Queen Mother's chess is one trick away, or rather, Yun Xi's acting skills are too good. She didn't see that Ruan Hui was not Yun Xi's love at all. Spoil one, abandon one, tolerate one, and exclude one. As a result, the two of them were killed and one were injured, and they could no longer act as eyeliner, let alone control the harem. Ruan Hui is not, and neither is Ruan Yinyin. The Zhaohua wife Yuan Qiumian who died at the beginning was not, and the current Ninghua wife Li Jiangyun is not. They were all arranged for him by the Queen Mother, so that they could sit in the big family and control the power of the court. They are all chess, and their fate is not in their hands. But he didn't know how to fight a bloody way for himself, so he could only be in the harem where he didn't see the white blade, because of the mistakes of the empress dowager Ruan Xinghua, he was cut off one after another!
The scarlet heart was also arranged by the Queen Mother, it is not strange to look like it, and its behavior is also similar, it is obvious that she has quietly undergone a series of training before. Very good, he just wanted to see how this woman who looked like Concubine Hui could turn her hands into clouds and rain in the hands of the Queen Mother? He obeyed the queen mother's wishes, and when he first entered the palace, he named her Mrs. Zhaohua, and the following year she was promoted to concubine. The imperial court then crowned his father, but no matter how the Lezheng family sealed it, it would be difficult to get rid of the merchants. This is the place where the Queen Mother is clever, so that Scarlet Heart will continue to work for her for this illusory reputation, visible and unobtainable hope!
However, Scarlet Heart is smarter than those chess pieces, and knows how to advance by retreating. Do things in a proper way and never ostentatious. Year after year, day after day, she is extremely patient, more than guarded, sharp and hidden, with clear barriers, well-planned, good at winning people's hearts, and not carrying a bad reputation. While not disobeying the orders of the Queen Mother, but also make yourself as safe as possible! This really aroused his gambling heart, and he just wanted to tear off her mask and see what her true face was!
The more she tolerated her, the sharper he became. The more she thought about it, the more he put her in a dilemma. Between the pairs, it seems to be more and more manic, it is him! Now, I finally see her true face from this poem. It turns out that she is like this. She just wants to grow old and freeze her bones and coagulate her muscles without falling into the mud. I just want the incense to survive for future generations, and the ice and snow buried bones can still leave a wisp of dark incense. Dongjun passed, and the flowers bloomed. It's just that in her life, she is wrong with spring, so she doesn't ask for the east wind!
The frost is cold and released, and the golden stamen is chongyang. Step by step, skillfully attack, just seek peace. Under the glory, I would like to be famous, the branches are independent, and the fragrance is not dark.
Scarlet Heart's trajectory is so similar to him. At home, she is a concubine, and she is not valued because she is a woman, but she can stand out from the crowd and stand out. The whole family now depends on her prestige. Of course he understands it. He is the same in the palace, although the mother concubine is favored, but after he was born, the mother concubine has been favored day by day. Only he strives to be uplifted, obedient and studious, not particularly outstanding, and not busy. Three or four-year-old children can already be adults, childish and innocent, just to please people. The heart grows prematurely, and the seven tricks are exquisite, not by nature, but because of this golden que.
Just as Scarlet Heart replied at the beginning, what the mother likes, the concubine also likes. He is the same, what his father, queen and mother like, and his sons and ministers also like. Whether you really like it or not, you can't tell it for a long time, or you don't need to tell it at all.
He put down the silk handkerchief and stuffed it back into the cabinet. When I raised my eyes slightly, I was touching myself in the mirror, and I seemed to be a little dazzled, but I felt that the mirror was reflected in the scarlet face!
The date of the southern tour was set for May 16, in fact, this was supposed to take place two years ago, but it has been delayed due to various things, and it has not been completed. During the period of the first emperor, the Yunqu Gorge and Gutian River in the south were flooded every year, so that a large area of fertile soil there was flooded every year, and the people had to move to the north for 100 miles, wasting a large area of land in vain.
Therefore, the first emperor sent people to chase the Quxia Dam and build the Quxia Reservoir, which could relieve the disaster of waterlogging and drought. The project cost a lot, lasted 25 years, and after two dynasties, it was finally completed in the 14th year of Xuanping. This was the first major project since the founding of the Jintai Dynasty, and it also saved the people of the three southern states and seven provinces from the suffering of floods, which was a great joy enough for the whole country to be excited.
Therefore, in August of the fourteenth year of Xuanping, there were ministers to play, and the emperor should go to Quxia in person, one to pray for the grace of heaven and sacrifice to the god of the river; One is to comfort the first emperor; One is to reward several officials who worked on the river and supervised the construction, and at the same time, it also greatly boosted the prestige of Jintai. Looking at the world, only the national strength of Jintai can complete this huge project.
At that time, Yunxi was on track, and several southern states and provinces had already received the report and began to prepare for the pick-up.
But later Yun Xi believed that the Quxia Dam and the diversion canal and river diversion project, which traversed three states and seven provinces, cost more than tens of millions of taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of workers worked day and night to sweat their blood and sweat. Now that the project has just been completed, it will immediately tour the south, and all the provinces along the way will not have to welcome the construction of the palace, and it is really not a good thing to consume the people's fat and ointment, so it will be temporarily suppressed.
In February of the fifteenth year of the Xuanping Dynasty, the court reconsidered again: it was said that there were more than 30 wealthy households in the southern provinces, and because the imperial court built a dam to solve the people's troubles, they voluntarily raised funds to build Shengde Garden in the Huainan area of Quxia North Road, and there was the name of the third uncle of the scarlet heart, Le Zhengkuan.
Thinking that he is also Scarlet's father, Le Zhenglone wants to use this incident to enhance Scarlet Heart's status in the palace. First, although the Lezheng family came from a humble background and could not become a minister, at least because of its huge wealth, it reduced the amount of money for the imperial court and used it as a kind of support in an economic way. Second, it is also to show loyalty to the imperial court, so as to improve the local prestige and status.
In this way, it is equivalent to wanting to sleep with someone to give him a pillow, which is to solve the scruples in Yun Xi's heart, and he immediately played on time and informed all places to prepare.
In the early spring of last year, he wanted to tell Scarlet Heart about it, but then he got two beautiful women because of Scarlet Heart, which angered him. He really didn't know if the scarlet heart was secretly instructed by the Queen Mother, or if she was planning to take this kind of curve at all. No matter which one it was, it stirred up his heart, and he threw it behind him, and as a result, a year passed like this.
By the end of February this year, the Southern General Tour had arrived, saying that everything had been prepared and that the Garden of Virtue had been completed.
When the first emperor was sick, he still remembered the Quxia project. At that time, this watch was opposed by many ministers, and the first emperor was allowed to resist the pressure of the court. The early days of construction were not peaceful, and there were successive incidents such as Xu Shuyuan's corruption, the drowning of workers in Linjiang Province, and the dereliction of duty of officials, which triggered a joint complaint by 300 people. It was also said that it was an ominous omen, and the unauthorized change of the river road was for the cause of great calamity, and other alarmist words confused people's hearts, which made the first emperor under heavy pressure, and Huafa was born early. Now that time has changed, the project has been completed earlier than expected, and the people of the south are cheering and praising the sainthood. It is a meritorious envoy for the first emperor, and it is also a major event in the Xuanping Dynasty. So Yun Xi made up his mind and prepared for a southern tour.
The saint toured the south, accompanied by hundreds of officials, and there was a siege of Wu in the autumn of this year, and Yunxi ordered the southern provinces to no longer need to let Wuzi go to Beijing, and they were all concentrated in Fengyuan Prefecture in the center of Huainan, and the other provinces postponed the time to go to Beijing.
After the auspicious day was selected as May 16, the court was very busy in the past few days: the three prefectures of Zhuyitang and the inner court were busy arranging the big drive, the Gyeonggi camp and the ** battalion were responsible for the security of the road, etc., and the central government was busy reporting to all parts of the southern province, and the express reports were prepared to welcome the car.
Including Tai Hospital, Xinghua Pavilion is all chickens flying and dogs jumping. Therefore, it is really true that it is difficult for the Son of Heaven to travel, and everyone is on his back. The choice of accompanying officials is also very important, this is the first large-scale southward tour of the Holy Driver, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year or even longer to come and go.
Yun Xi consulted with the inner court, and ordered the Beihai King Chu Jingyang to supervise the country, the Zongtang ordered the doctor to become the king Chu Bangjin, the central collection ordered the right Cheng Lin Xiao, the Xuanlu Yuan right Cheng Ming Guangyuan, the Wenhua Pavilion University scholar Ye Tao, and the Xinghua Pavilion University scholar Sun Kangling stayed in Beijing to assist the people. Other nobles and important ministers, as well as the heads of various groups, were all accompanied by him. His arrangement has been carefully considered, and several of the people who stayed in Beijing have each other's advantages and disadvantages, such as Xinghua and Wenhua, which have always been at odds with each other, and they have long been inseparable, and now they happen to monitor each other. There was also similar friction between the Central Decree and the Xuanlu Academy, as for Chu Bangjin, the king of Xingcheng, he was the youngest brother of the first emperor and the uncle of Yunxi. This man is a conservative and good face, but he is too timid and afraid to conspire with him. Push him up, and he will be careful. As for the others, none of the leaders of the interest groups were left behind, and they all pulled out to accompany them, and the government affairs during this period can also be known with the newspaper. In fact, the people left behind in the palace don't need to deal with any major events, if something really happens, they have to report to the saint.
As for the harem, in addition to the Queen Mother's companions, Yun Xi actually only ordered one this time, that is, the concubine Le Zheng's scarlet heart! The emperor left the palace for a long time, and he only brought the concubine with him, which is really surprising. But the courtiers couldn't control it, so they had to do what he said.
The Queen Mother knew that when the emperor left the palace, she would definitely go with her. The Ruan family is now in decline, but as the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Queen Mother can be described as a totem of the Ruan family, which is a sign of their honor. With the Queen Mother, the remnants of the Ruan clan in the local areas along the way can also settle down a lot. Of course, in addition to interest considerations, there is also affection. Yun Xi was raised by the Queen Mother, and her relationship with her biological mother is actually not as good as being close to the Queen Mother. The queen mother herself is a native of Jiangdu, and she has been in the palace for so many years, but in the sixteenth year of Changlong, when the project was built, she was fortunate with the first emperor in the south. Now the southern tour is also an opportunity to return to the southern soil.
However, in addition to the Queen Mother, only Scarlet Heart is with her, which is really surprising. The Le Zheng family did contribute to the construction of the Shengde Garden this time, and made meritorious contributions to the royal family. As the representative of the Le Zheng family, it is normal for Scarlet Heart to go south with him to show his grace. But it stands to reason that you should bring a few more to show that you don't treat everyone equally, so as not to provoke criticism, hasn't the emperor always done this?
The roster of the entourage of the southern tour was over, Xue Qing was so angry that she almost didn't carry it, no wonder the emperor has been avoiding her recently, and he didn't plan to take her south at all! The reason for the emperor's annotation is very high-sounding, and the father of the concubine has made meritorious contributions to the garden and has been gifted together. The concubine is pregnant, and Concubine De stays in the palace to supervise the palaces and take care of them properly.
Although there are many concubines in this palace, except for the two concubines of Guide, the handsome concubine, and one of the concubines who can barely be put on the table, none of the other low-level concubines are qualified to go together. Now let Concubine De stay to take care of Concubine Jun's fetus, and the concubine has been sick and crooked since she came back from the palace, and she naturally can't go to the wind in the cold two days of spring.
The more Xue Qing thought about it, the more angry she became, the concubine first straightened out the court with justice and awe, and sorted out the gorgeous beauties and concubines one by one, showing the emperor how capable she was and how she could manage it, as if this harem, without her happy heart, the three divisions and six palms were all waste snacks! The two concubines are in the same palm, and the last one to be in the limelight is the concubine, but it is the concubine who carries the black pot. Now let her take care of Concubine Jun's fetus, and make it clear that if something happens, the black pot will be all hers!
The concubine asked her father to sprinkle silver in Huainan to show her loyalty, so that the emperor could take her with her, and all the bad things in the palace were thrown over. Silver! It's okay if I don't want this, but when I think about Xueqing, I get angry. When she first entered the palace and was ignorant, she was in pain of losing her son, so she fell in love with the noble concubine, and let the family spend 200,000 taels of silver in vain, not to mention, and always regarded her as a great benefactor! Thinking about it now, it is estimated that the concubine has already found out what kind of tone, knowing that the emperor wants to crown her as a concubine, and deliberately takes advantage of it. 200,000 taels! The family of the noble concubine merchant is worthy of being a buyer and seller. Build a garden for the emperor! I don't know how much benefit she has received from the emperor over the years, I'm afraid that she has ten gardens with money!
fame and fortune have been gained, and now they have the grace of sainthood. The emperor obeyed her, and the death of the concubine was obviously caused by her. But she said that the spirit concubine harmed the palace concubine! One set in front of you, one set on your back, insidious and despicable villain! Xue Qing now thinks that when she first entered the palace, she also thanked her, and she also pretended to say a set of harem and Shun principles, the more she thought about it, the more disgusting she felt!
No wonder my father once said that the harem is so sinister and unpredictable. She is really stupid, she just thinks that the Queen Mother harmed her, and Mrs. Ninghua harmed her, but she didn't know that what really harmed her was the concubine who always called her sister and sister!
The emperor is now completely confused by her, and she can't distinguish between right and wrong. She controls the harem with one hand, and even the queen mother can't help it. Xue Qingzong hated it in his heart, and he knew that he couldn't be impulsive, so he set to start in mid-May, but now it's only early April, and everything is still uncertain. She must no longer be as innocent as before, and let people take advantage of her in vain!
Scarlet was a little surprised when she looked at the roster of the accompanying palace dependents, although the emperor had told her beforehand and said that he would take her with him, but she didn't expect that she was the only one with her except for the queen mother. There is another thing she didn't expect, the third uncle actually donated money to build Shengde Garden in Huainan. Now that the garden has become a day, I am afraid it was a year ago. She didn't even find out about the news, and her father didn't reveal anything. But also, this matter is not a big deal for the emperor, or there has been no court discussion, and it is normal for Changfu Chang'an not to inquire about it. Her father didn't want her to worry too much, so he didn't mention it again. But in this year, she asked her father to find a thousand years of root carving, all kinds of Buddhist scriptures handwritten rare books, a few days ago, her father gave her a lot of money, thinking that she was really unfilial!
I still remember that four years ago, when she went on the road, her father and his brother sent her more than 100 miles to the Huai River. Her father told her that it would be difficult to come and go if she wanted to. The family background is not good, and it is difficult to enter the heavenly family. She comforted her father and said that as long as she could enter the three circles, even if she could not become the imperial concubine in the end, she would be the wife of the royal nobles, and the Lezheng family would also be prominent at that time. She said that she would do her best to live up to her parents' 16 years of cultivation!
Later, I learned that this was just a dream of her youth. The family background is not good, let alone the three measurements, even Duanyang Gate can't enter, and the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs department will be directly removed! This is not a question of whether she is pouring her strength or not, this is her life, it is always difficult for grass insects to reach the clouds, if there is no opportunity for the Queen Mother, she has no chance at all.
She's tough, but isn't my father tough? In the past four years, the family has spent countless times in order to support her bottomless pit. In order not to cause trouble to her, the family has always been cautious and does not dare to indulge in the slightest. The second uncle and the third uncle were tired of running for business, and his father groveled in the official, and what he did was the prosperity of the Lezheng family and the descendants of Yonsei.
So at this time, even if Scarlet Heart is surprised, he can't care too much. She wants this glory, more than anything else she wants!
Scarlet put the lotus platter on the table, this lotus platter has a total of 36, each into a small plate, and the combination is a lotus shape. You can arrange it according to your needs, and the thirty-six pieces can be put together or disassembled at will. Porcelain is the white porcelain flower burned by the royal tribute kiln, the light water is faint, the white is as smooth as jade, and the ink is like a cloud.
Yun Xi sat on the edge of the sandalwood carved table, watching the scarlet heart bow her head, today she is cooking by herself, so she does not have any rings on her hands. The ten fingers are like onions, the bones are slender, the muscles are like clotted fat, holding the plate, and the porcelain light reflects each other, which is confusing. What's more, because of the food on the plate, there is a heat accumulation, which makes Yunxi a little trance.
There are more than a dozen kinds of scarlet hearts, a small round dish in the center, a circle on the side, and it is all snacks in Huainan place, what plum soup line, tea roll crisp, glutinous rice yellow, steamed pearl buns, fine rice yuanzi and the like. Scarlet hearts are made of local materials, and some of them still use substitute materials in order to make the emperor have a good entrance. For example, this glutinous rice yolk was originally made of broken salted egg yolk, kneaded and steamed with glutinous rice flour, but the scarlet heart was replaced with crab roe; There are also steamed pearl buns, which were originally wrapped in a layer of potato flour foam on the outside, and rose powder was used for the scarlet heart.
Yun Xi looked at these small snacks and chuckled: "I really didn't expect that the concubine has always had the style of everyone, and she has also studied these snacks!" ”
Yun Xi actually said this casually, but after thinking about it a few more times, she felt that the emperor had something else in her words: she was at home and never showed her face, where did she learn these small street crafts?
In normal times, she didn't explain, so as not to make the emperor unhappy, but in the past few days, she was very excited in her heart, so she worked very hard. So as soon as I heard his words, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Back to the emperor, because the concubine's sister likes these the most, the concubine's family has a few cooks who specialize in making small snacks." The concubines learned from them. Scarlet Heart responded softly while making vegetables for him.
He glanced at her, made incense, and made side dishes, anyway, either his mother liked it or his sister liked it. Entered the palace, pruned and arranged flowers, tossed potted plants, what white jade Guanyin, gold leaf Buddha picture, then it was all the Queen Mother's like. On weekdays, I still take care of my sisters and sisters, jade lingzhi, and silk embellishment...... She's busy, she's busy every day, and he's become a corner squatting and drinking the cool breeze!
Scarlet couldn't hear him open for a long time, and sent the small dish to him, and didn't see him pick up the chopsticks, so he was a little panicked, and then peeked at his face a little slight, and couldn't figure out where he said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing to make him unhappy. Instinctively, she wanted to escape again, and to be honest, it wasn't a day or two between them. But at this time, Scarlet Heart couldn't get out of the formation anymore, and when she learned that she could follow the Holy Southern Tour, the news was really more shocking than the third uncle's arrival in Beijing. She didn't care about how the other palace would feel now, she just thought that she must not offend him again and let this matter be soaked again!
She thought so, but she couldn't say anything suitable to persuade him to eat, so she had to embolden the thief and put the small plate in front of him. He looked at her fingertips, and then saw her pitiful, unclear look, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he took the spoon and put it in his mouth. In fact, her craftsmanship is not very fine, but the things are fresh, and they have a unique flavor when you put them in your mouth.
"Sit down, I'll use some with me." He whispered, "You don't need to bring more people this time, just pick a few that you can use." ”
"Yes, the concubine Xie Emperor is compassionate." Scarlet pursed her lips, nodded in response, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, are these still passable?" ”
"Not bad." He said casually, and she was silent again. He made her a little stiff, and she didn't feel that it tasted like chewing wax, and after a while, some had nothing to say: "Have you said anything in the palace these days?" ”
As soon as he talked about this kind of "work" problem, Scarlet immediately lifted his spirits, his anger smoothed his waist and straightened up, and he was at ease. She put down her chopsticks and busied herself with the soup. Behind her, Xiu Ling saw that she was not busy replying, and first moved, and understood in her heart that she had quietly sent someone to retreat without waiting for Scarlet to speak.
Scarlet put the soup in front of him, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubines have been supervising the affairs of various prefectures in the past few days, and they are all in order. However, a concubine came to complain to the concubine, saying that there were slaves who deducted their use. ”
"Oh?" Yun Xi looked at her expression and raised her eyebrows slightly, "The examples of each palace are all according to the book. Who is bold enough to make such a fortune? ”
The concubine didn't want to bother the emperor about this matter, but the concubine thought about it again and again: the various departments and yamen of the inner palace, although they say that they are in charge of the affairs of the palace and do not involve the people, but the inner palace is like a big family, and the sisters are in one place. Now that the southern tour is imminent, the concubines are afraid that the emperor will leave the palace when the time comes, everything is unpredictable, the inner palace is uneasy, and it also disturbs the emperor's tour. Therefore, in these two days, I want to meet with the sect and live in peace, and solve this matter together. Scarlet said quietly, "If it is found to be true, it must be dealt with strictly, and then select talents and talents for appointment." ”
Yun Xi shook a subtle smile on his face: "Which one complained to you?" Let the concubine pay so much attention? ”
The scarlet heart responded: "Zheng Fengyuan, Xin Fengyuan, Lin Fengshou and others in Yujing Palace, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ...... it himself"
"I don't want to summon me in person, the concubine asked on my behalf." Yun Xi said while eating, "There is no doubt about employing people, I believe in you." ”
Scarlet Heart was stunned, and he said this for the first time: I believe in you! This time, she is ready to take advantage of Zheng Fengyuan's matter to reach out to all parts of the inner government yamen. She wants her own trained henchmen to take on the heavy responsibility and further control the harem. This is what Zheng Bong-won is for, and it is also the price to pay for bringing her mother into the palace. There is not only her faithfulness, but also her greed. But he still said, I believe in you!
"Your Majesty......" As soon as she spoke, he suddenly threw his spoon sideways towards her, stretched out his hand, and brushed his fingers on her temples and sideburns. She was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise her eyes, and even touched his shining eyes.
"I thought you had another piece of green, but it was soot." He put his fingers on the side of her head, and rubbed his thumb on it a few times, making her face flush a little redder for a moment.
She looked at him in a daze, and when she saw him smile, she said, "How did you get there?" She was slightly angry, but her warm pulse was faint, so she couldn't help but pull the corners of her lips: "The concubine doesn't know." ”
He looked at her, and there was something deep in his gaze. She didn't dare to move, her cheeks gradually became hot, and she was still stunned. His hand slipped slightly and hooked the back of her neck: "I'm here, you're not comfortable?" This was said before, but at this time, it brought some gloom, which made the scarlet heart feel an indescribable sourness.
"The concubine doesn't dare." She has said this more than once, but at this time, there is also an astringent taste.
The two of them are so quiet, they seem to be carvings, but their eyes meet and become a storm, it seems to be so harmonious, and it seems to be thousands of miles apart. After a long time, he sighed: "Actually, what you want is not worth anything, I didn't understand you before." ”
She understood what he meant, and she had mixed feelings for a while. The two have been awkward to get along, because they can't understand each other's desires. His words, I didn't understand you before, but it really penetrated her heart, making her eyes slightly moist and trembling slightly.
"On this southern tour, I have settled your heart." His next words made Scarlet Xin's eyes widen suddenly, tears fell suddenly, his body trembled even more, and he felt that his heart was turning upside down, and the heat wave was burning. She tried to get up, her lips trembling slightly, but he smiled again: "Don't be too busy thanking, you know." ”
She nodded, suppressing the words of thanks that rushed out of her mouth. She knew, of course she knew. He is a man of grace and hope, and he wants something equal or even greater in return! But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, she doesn't care what else he wants her to do, as long as her wish comes true, she doesn't care about the rest!
Yun Xi suddenly reached out and hugged her. Her patience has reached the limit, she does not want to shed tears in front of anyone, whether it is because of joy or sadness, she has to maintain her dignity and nobility! Since you want her heart, you should even fulfill this!
He knew she was crying, happy, satisfied, and tired. What she wants, in fact, is not worth anything. Indeed, fame, the reputation of the Lezheng family, for him, the effort of his hands, for her, will be extremely poor, and she will not be able to relax the burden at any time. She was burdened by fame, but she couldn't break free. Because she is also a member of the Lezheng family, she is the hope of the Lezheng family to move towards the world. If she gains fame, she may not be happy, but if she loses fame, she will definitely suffer.
She didn't ask him again what she wanted her to do. He knew that she would do whatever she said, and she would do it well. But what he wanted, if she didn't have it at all, what would he do?
