Chapter 118 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Xu Shufei's meticulously maintained skin is as white and tender as a cardamom girl, her fingers are as white and flawless as onion tubes, her round and clean face is not powdered, and her willow-shaped eyes are longing for life, and her eyes are bright and kind. Getting closer, the natural charm contained in the silence became more and more intense, and the emperor's cold eyes finally slowly opened up at this moment.
"Okay, let's go and see what Yan'er wrote!" said the Emperor with a smile, "I'm tired of reading the recitals, so let's go shopping." ”
The emperor stayed in Xu Shufei's Changui Palace for another night, and the next day, the impeachment of the five princes in the court was suddenly gone.
The wind in the harem blew stronger, and the breakfast prepared in the imperial dining room was different from the past, and it was unusually rich. Concubine Xu Shufei's personal maid was covered with colored beads, and muttered in a low voice: "The dog looks down on people! When the emperor didn't come to the palace for a while, I asked the imperial dining room for a few peppercorns to season and didn't give them, and said that the third princess was still young and couldn't eat it! It was said that there was only one third princess in the palace who was the master! I would come to collect the dishes later, and see if I didn't give them good fruits to eat!"
"Caizhu, don't waste your mind on small roles. Concubine Xu smiled faintly and ate a chopsticks of tender bamboo shoots, "There are already spring bamboo shoots at this time, and the imperial dining room is really not simple." ”
"Niangniang, there is a special person in the imperial dining room to raise bamboo, wrap a gauze curtain in the bamboo forest, bake charcoal fire every day, and winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots grow wildly regardless of the season. Caizhu looked indignant, "It's all a bunch of sycophants who have to sneak around and shoot horses!
"Yes, they were originally lowly people. It is their innate ability to worship high and step on low. Concubine Xu Shu was still calm, slowly picked up the fine porcelain plum blossom bowl, and stirred the new rice porridge with attractive colors in the bowl, "Only by becoming the real master in this harem can they be completely tamed!"
"Caizhu understands!" Caizhu's face turned pale, and she walked quickly to the long window, swept out the window with a neat eye, and made sure that no one reached out to cover the window, turned around and whispered to Concubine Xu Shu's ear, "Niangniang, the fifth prince handed over the news yesterday, everything is fine! Half of the frontier marching map in the study has also been found, and it is still in its place, but it has been replaced with the old version of the frontier marching map that has been abandoned. ”
"Tao'er has always acted prudently, and I am relieved. Concubine Xu Shufei raised the spoon with fine porcelain and gold edges, took a sip of the green green rice porridge with a color like jade, and closed her eyes to savor it, "Well! The porridge cooked by this new rice is really excellent! The rice that grows in the extremely cold and high mountain col and has to have a hot spring to survive has very little harvest and is extremely precious. It has always been eaten by the emperor, so how can it be delivered today?"
"Those slaves, it's not like the emperor comes to our mother's house to be diligent," Caizhu eyes snapped, and his spirit was vivid, "I'm here to offer courtesy!"
"No, the imperial dining room doesn't dare to touch the new rice. The number of new rice harvests is limited, and both catties are registered, and there is only enough for the emperor to eat every year. Concubine Xu Shu slowly opened her eyes, and the essence in her eyes was like cold stars in the dark night, "Xu Yes, the emperor ordered it?!"
"Yes!" Caizhu danced with joy and shouted softly, "This new rice came up yesterday, and today Niangniang tasted it!
"I hope that the emperor has me in his heart," Concubine Xu Shu smiled lightly, raised the spoon again, and looked deeply at the pleasing color of the porridge in the spoon, "Tao'er's chances of winning will be one more ......."
"The emperor's eyes are always smiling, the emperor must have a mother in his heart!" Caizhu nodded violently and lowered his voice again, "The fifth prince also said that if Niangniang's side succeeds, the first vitality of this game of chess will be laid out, and the prince's side will also begin?"
"Hmm!" Concubine Xu Shu nodded heavily, put down the white porcelain plum blossom porridge bowl, picked up a Bazhen sweet crisp roll with silver chopsticks, and quietly bit it off, "Either the fish dies, or the net breaks!"
The morning sun is rising, reflecting the bright yellow glazed tiles of Zekun Palace, shining with brilliant brilliance. The Cailuan Mingtian auspicious cloud ornaments made of pure gold are all over the entire Zekun Palace. On the corners of the roof, under the eaves railing, at the high corners of the palace wall, on the mahogany lattices of the long windows, and on each railing, the ornaments of the golden luan bird warmly reflect the brightness of the sun, and the weather is dazzling with golden light.
The jasper and phoenix are exquisite, the purple gold tassel pendant pearl step is swaying lightly, the eight-pillar twisted Luan Feng and the Ming Liuyun bun are towering, and the noble concubine has a graceful and luxurious makeup, sitting comfortably on the beauty couch in the main hall of Zekun Palace, leaning on the Su embroidered brocade pier of the rich peony in the city, and eating bird's nest porridge leisurely.
Thoughtful, her eyebrows and eyes are elegant, extremely delicate, like Momo blooming flowers on the other side, dazzling but indifferent and alienated, beautiful and unreal.
The personal maid came in in in a hurry, leaning in and whispering softly beside the noble concubine.
The noble concubine suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, as if a poppy flower in full bloom was swaying in the sun, and it was so delicate and beautiful that it made people feel in a trance: "Okay, Concubine Xu Shu, you can't hold back your shot after all! Use your little daughter to turn around and dislike your emperor, this is your move to press the bottom of the box, next, just wait to see your poor donkey skills, but I don't know, when the time comes, you can still pretend, soft and gentle mask?!"
Linglong lowered her eyebrows and said quietly: "Niangniang Gaojian, I have already calculated that Concubine Xu Shu will use the third princess to restore her favor." Next, do you go ahead of the plan?"
"Well! A few impeachments were lifted at the beginning of the ban, and the five princes who regained their sacred heart could force Concubine Xu Shufei to jump off the wall in a hurry!"
The snow is falling, and three days later it will be the Winter Solstice Festival. Because of the recovery of the third princess, the emperor was relieved and deliberately extravagant.
Not only did it order all state governments to hold a lively "Winter Greeting" congratulatory ceremony, but also allowed the routine one-day holiday to be extended to three days. He also decreed that the world would be given a great blessing, and the old, young, women and children could receive the festival reward.
As soon as the decree was issued, everyone immediately rejoiced, and the whole world celebrated together, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of scenes of peace and prosperity.
A luxurious but unassuming carriage drove sparkling on the official road, and the head of a veiled nobleman appeared out of the window, looking around and around.
"Huan'er, come in. The soft voice in the carriage was beautiful and tactful, and it was intoxicating, "I'll go and see the colorful silk building in the palace later, that's good-looking." ”
