Chapter 5: Favored
The emperor bit his tongue in her ear: "Wanwan, I will come to your palace tomorrow to eat tea." ”
Bu Wanwan said "um", nodded, and was carried back to Zhaohua Palace.
The palace maid and eunuch of Zhaohua Hall knelt down to greet her, Qinghua rewarded the eunuch who sent her back, and then knelt in front of her to say hello to her, even more excited than her.
After sleeping this time, it also means that she is favored, and there are more concubines coming and going in Zhaohua Palace.
According to the rules, only five grades or more can meet the emperor and queen, the emperor's harem has only one queen, no concubine, Concubine Hua is canonized after death, in addition, there are three concubines, Jieyu, beauty, talent, Baolin is more, and there are countless under the five grades, the royal girl, the maid, and even the show girl can only stand outside the Zhaohua Hall to take a look.
Buwanwan didn't forget that the emperor said that he was going to come to her palace to eat tea today, she had already instructed the palace maid to prepare tea, but she was anxious Qinghua and others, from picking tea, boiling tea, tea sets one by one, and then the ground of Zhaohua Hall was polished.
Bu Wanwan felt that they were exaggerating, but it was always good to make some preparations, she just sat at the door, looking at the road outside, waiting for the emperor's figure.
An hour has passed, and it stands to reason that the emperor should have gone down early, but Buwanwan didn't wait for half a figure, she was a little tired, her eyes were half-squinted and half-open, her body was lazily leaning on the back chair, Qinghua gently pushed her beside her, reminding her of her spirit.
Regardless of whether the emperor would come or not, she had to be ready to greet her.
Finally waited for the emperor's step, Qinghua helped her kneel to greet her, Zhang Gonggong stretched out his hand to help the emperor, and the emperor said lightly: "Flat." ”
The Emperor walked past her and went straight in, getting up and following up.
The emperor sat by the window, in the hall, the window was half open, the palace maids brought the tea cup up, the fragrance of tea lingered around the nose, and white smoke rose from the porcelain cup painted on the green mountain.
The emperor stared at the scene outside the window, and after a while, he realized that she was still standing, and said, "Don't be restrained, sit next to me." ”
The emperor beckoned to Bu Wanwan, who sat down in obedience, sitting upright and exceptionally upright.
The emperor took a sip of the teacup and took a small sip, but his eyes were fixed on her, "Well, the tea is good." ”
Bu Wanwan didn't know if the emperor was talking about tea or her.
"Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, one bud, one leaf and one tea soup, the tea soup is clear and bright, the taste is sweet and refreshing, and there are more 'peony flowers laughing and moving, and Wuxing purple bamboo shoots are played.' One said. ”
Buwanwan couldn't help but say, it just so happened that she had read this sentence in the past few days.
The emperor's hand turned on the teacup, but his eyes were carefully examining her, "What books has the queen read?" ”
Bu Wanwan answered casually, most of them were Buddhist scriptures and three religious rituals, and she didn't dare to say anything else.
The emperor looked at her in amazement, pulled her to the side of the desk, opened the rice paper, and handed her the pen, "Come, write a few words for me to see." ”
Buwanwan was stunned, and after taking the pen, he was sluggish and did not put down the pen.
The emperor said: "Just write, 'Peony flowers laugh and Jin Tian moves, and Wu Xing purple bamboo shoots are played.'" ’”
Step by step, do as you are told.
Buwanwan has been trained by her grandmother since she was a child, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female embroidery, I dare not say that she is proficient, she can only have some fur, but she is best at writing, even her father has praised her calligraphy is natural, delicate and square, and has the potential to sweep thousands of troops.
But for some reason, her hands were shaking and her wrists were unsteady.
The emperor held her hand and whispered: "I don't hold the pen steadily, how can I put it down?" ”
Buwanwan raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor, the faces of the two were very close, the emperor's breath was very warm, she suddenly calmed down and wrote freely.
Her ink was praised by the emperor again.
Bu Wanwan blushed from praise and bowed her head slightly.
After eating tea and writing, the emperor ate at the same time, this time it was different from before, the emperor gave her a lot of vegetables, Bu Wanwan lowered her head to eat carefully, and looked at the dishes in the bowl that the emperor sandwiched, all of which she loved.
After eating, the emperor rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and proposed that the sky was fine outside, and he would take her to the lake.
When she went out, the emperor held her hand, and Buwanwan was a little flattered.
Gonggong Zhang and the others followed behind him, keeping a distance not far or close, and Buwanwan almost walked with the emperor, causing the people in the palace to cast surprised and envious eyes.
As far as the eye can see, it is still snow-capped, but it is different from the cold palace, the lake is frozen, there is another scenery, there are several plum forests on the shore, and the plum blossoms are blooming.
The cold winter did not annihilate the spring light of the harem, and Buwanwan felt the temperature in the emperor's palm, feeling that everything was unreal.
The emperor took off his brocade coat and put it on her, and bent down in fear, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Inappropriate ......"
"Wanwan, you want to disobey the holy decree?" The Emperor asked softly, and there was no reproach in his words.
Buwanwan was a little sluggish, but she was hugged by the emperor in his arms, and the emperor bowed his head and said to her: "Wanwan, it's all over, I will definitely treat you well in the future." ”
Bu Wanwan didn't understand what the emperor meant, and she was also puzzled by the emperor's actions in the past few days, she felt that she must be frozen stupid in the cold palace.
Buwanwan's head was close to the emperor's chest, and his eyes looked at Gonggong Zhang and the others behind him from time to time, and he was so ashamed that he hid in his arms.
The emperor smiled, picked her up directly and returned to Zhaohua Palace, and the emperor couldn't help but eat her again.
This time, Bu Wanwan's whole body was about to fall apart, and after the emperor left, the palace maid came in to serve her, looking at the traces on her body and chuckling.
Qinghua was excited, picked up the pen and drew in circles, her monthly letter was a little late this month, Qinghua thought about waiting a few days to see.
Buwanwan didn't think about it, and her mind was full of unreal feelings.
Later, the emperor often came to Zhaohua Palace, but the emperor was busy with political affairs, and every time he sat down for a while, he also summoned her to sleep every other day, which was a precedent for the harem.
The emperor is not a woman, but he is dedicated, and only summons the concubine to sleep two or three times a month, and summons the same person so frequently, there was only one concubine Hua in the East Palace in the past, and now she is walking in a hurry.
The harem concubines came and went more diligently, and they all looked forward to meeting the emperor once, and they couldn't all refuse to come to the door, and in the end they had to offend no one, and the door of the Zhaohua Palace was always open, either waiting for the emperor to come, or those who came to get close to the relationship.
Buwanwan is not very good at socializing, they all say a word, she echoes a sentence, most of them are asking her about the emperor's preferences, but she really doesn't know that she is still more afraid of the emperor, where dare to inquire about his preferences.
Lin Baolin has been here once or twice, but it has gradually decreased.
Lin Baolin passed by the Zhaohua Palace, stood next to him and looked at the endless stream of palace people, just looking.
Baojuan, the palace maid who served her, was puzzled and persuaded: "Now the palace knows that the queen is being favored, with the relationship between the master and the queen, you might as well go to the Zhaohua Hall to walk around, the master has not seen the emperor for many years, and it would be good if the queen could introduce the master." ”
Lin Baolin lowered his head and said: "The queen doesn't like people who tend to be inflammatory, not to mention that I abandoned the queen mother back then, she doesn't complain about me now, if I go today, it will seem that I am the same as those people, but I have tarnished the old feelings." ”
Lin Baolin thought about it and went back.
