Chapter 36: The Unfavored Concubine * The Mysterious Emperor 9
The black cat, with its big, bright amber eyes, was licking its fur with its little pink tongue.
Concubine Wan walked forward uncontrollably, slowly approaching the kitten, and the maid beside her helped her.
In fact, the little black cat has a very good temper, and during this time, except for Zhao Yue, who can get close, no one else can do it.
When Concubine Wan approached, the little black cat first glanced at it, and then nested there calmly as if it had acquiesced.
When Concubine Wan successfully touched the little black cat, her mood was very different.
"Mother, it seems that this little black cat likes you very much, this is going to be someone else, and he ran away before he got close to it."
Concubine Wan smiled, reached out and hugged the little black cat into her arms, and then slowly followed the fur.
There are almost no girls who can resist cute little animals.
"Xi Concubine, where did you come from this little black cat, I have never seen you have such a cat before." Concubine Wan asked casually.
Zhao Yue thought for a while and said: "You don't know how naughty this cat is, it was originally Mrs. Zhou's, but one day it suddenly disappeared, I just happened to meet it and looked for it with him, and in the end it was Mrs. Zhou who lured it out with a sachet, and Mrs. Zhou probably felt that this cat was a little difficult to raise and sent it to me after Mrs. Zhou found the cat." ”
Zhao Yue lowered his eyes and smiled, "The days in this palace are empty, and having a small animal to accompany you can pass the time." ”
Concubine Wan nodded and gently scratched the belly of the little black cat.
Although Concubine Wan sat there quietly petting the cat, Zhao Yue could still feel that her heart didn't seem to be very calm.
Shun Mao always paused, looking worried.
"What's bothering the mother?" Zhao Yue quietly sat beside her and asked.
Concubine Wan was silent for a while, as if she had some concerns.
"Niangniang can quietly tell the concubine, the concubine promises not to tell others, if the concubine is really not at ease, then the concubine can use one of her secrets in exchange with Niangniang."
Concubine Wan saw Zhao Yue's serious expression, and said slowly: "In the past few days, the elder brother of this palace has been escorted back to Beijing, and this palace is very worried, and I don't know what to do. ”
"It's reasonable for Niangniang to be worried, but the specific situation of this matter has to wait until your brother enters Beijing to come to a conclusion, what we can do is wait, if we interfere too much, it will provoke the emperor's anger, and at that time, it may affect the development of things."
Concubine Wan pondered with her cheeks raised, the truth is so reasonable, but when it comes to her own family, she will not ignore it to some extent.
Zhao Yue could also understand, so she didn't bother her, and the two sat outside together for a while.
At noon, Zhao Yue left Concubine Wan to eat in the palace, but Concubine Wan did not refuse.
When Concubine Rou came, she was dumbfounded to see the two sitting together eating in harmony, and she slowly accepted this scene when she arrived at the back.
The three of them ate at the same table, Concubine Wan stopped chopsticks not long after, and Concubine Rou ate more because of her young age and greed for her tongue.
Zhao Yue took one bite after another, never stopping.
Since coming to this plane, every day is a jade plate of delicacies, and the chef in the dining room is used to cooking, and Zhao Yue is always greedy, and every meal is a round belly.
At this time, the two of them watched her eat alone, and Zhao Yue was a little embarrassed, but soon she was defeated by those delicious foods.
Concubine Rou looked at Zhao Yue's delicious food, and was tempted, and always felt that she could eat some more.
Her eyes were a little straight and she occasionally swallowed.
Concubine Wan grabbed Zhao Yue and persuaded her: "Concubine Xi, you better eat less, as the emperor's concubine, we still have to maintain our figure." ”
Zhao Yue didn't think so, with these delicacies, what kind of figure do you need, it's a big deal to walk more after eating, and be active.
"The only food in this world is to live up to it." After that, Zhao Yue reached out and took a chicken leg again.
At this time, Biqing couldn't stand it, "Niangniang, you are not in good health, so don't eat so much." ”
Zhao Yue waved his hand, "You always say that I am not in good health, but you see that I am not very good now." ”
After ignoring the persuasion of the two of them, Zhao Yue opened her arms and ate.
Concubine Rou couldn't bear it anymore, and picked up the chopsticks that she had put down for a long time.
Zhao Yue saw that there were not many dishes on the table, so he waved his hand to let people serve a few more, and the degree of arrogance made people feel a little funny.
It's not eating out, and you don't have to pay anyway, so you can eat as much as you want.
At the end of the meal, Zhao Yue and Concubine Rou each hiccuped.
Concubine Wan saw the image of these two people, and helplessly held her forehead.
"How can you eat like this?"
Concubine Rou had never eaten so openly, so this meal was very pleasant.
Just eating too much has one consequence, and that is sleepiness.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Yue's eyelids couldn't help but droop.
Seeing this, Concubine Wan didn't plan to stay any longer, so she left Rongxi Palace with Concubine Rou first.
Zhao Yue slept for a while, but someone came to the door.
It's the Yu beauty who enjoyed the flowers together before.
Yu Meiren brought some snacks to see Zhao Yue, but she didn't see anyone.
"I'm sorry, Yu Meiren, my mother is taking a lunch break at this time, why don't you come back another day?"
Yu Meiren had no choice but to give up, she handed the snack in her hand to Biqing, "It's okay, I'll come to see Sister Xi Concubine tomorrow." ”
On the second day, Zhao Yue held a small tea party in Rongxi Palace.
Some of the concubines were invited to participate.
Everyone sat around, and Zhao Yue sat on the main seat to entertain everyone.
"I invited everyone to come over today, I just want to chat with everyone, you can talk about anything, you don't have to be restrained."
As soon as the words fell, the concubines around them were still a little restrained, and they all just sat there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you take care of them on weekdays?" Zhao Yue was curious about this.
Ancient girls didn't have as many kinds of cosmetics as modern times, and their skin was still so good, which made Zhao Yue envious.
Speaking of which, there are already people who want to communicate.
"This concubine first said, if you want to have good skin, you must use snow skin cream......
"Your snow cream isn't getting some acne yet, it's useless at all."
There was a lot of talk at the bottom, and Zhao Yue didn't hear some of the key things clearly.
"What do you mean by snow cream?"
Some concubines gave an objective statement, "Some people use it very well, and some people use it up and have no effect." ”
Then this snow skin cream must not be easy to use, Zhao Yue shook his head.
At this time, someone stood up and took out a small box.
"Look, this is the concubine's brother brought back from outside, I heard that the skin will become very delicate and slippery after using it, and the girls there will be white and snowy after using this, and their skin is very good."
Her words aroused the curiosity of a group of girls, and everyone gathered over to watch.
I saw the concubine open the small box in her hand, and some girls sighed.
"It smells so good."
"There are still some in the concubine's palace, so let's try this box first." The concubine was very generous and generous.
Zhao Yue was also curious, so he walked over and took a look, the paste was milky white, and there was a faint fragrance under the smell, which was a floral fragrance.
She reached out and wiped a little on the back of her hand, it felt cool and cool, and it was very moisturizing after wiping evenly.
It's no worse than modern skincare products, and the ingredients added to them may be healthy.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yue felt beautiful, and really wanted to take the things in the plane back to the modern world.
But then she can find the recipe and make some of her own in the modern world.
"Do you know how to make these?" Zhao Yue asked.
Like most girls in ancient times, they were all versatile, maybe someone would study this, and she just happened to learn from it.
At this time, a quiet girl spoke: "The concubine likes to study these things on weekdays, and she can do a little, but she may not do it very well." ”
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can do it, this palace is also very interested in these, you can teach me then." ”
The girl smiled and agreed.
Next, Zhao Yue found several topics one after another, all of which were the words of the girl's family, and the conversation was relaxed and stress-free, and there was no need to involve any identity or anything.
But it still can't avoid talking about the emperor.
"Recently, the emperor has not invited people to sleep, and I don't know what's wrong."
"That's right, we haven't seen the emperor for a month......"
"What are you doing seeing the emperor?" Everyone was melancholy, and Zhao Yue suddenly said this.
Zhao Yue felt that it was not necessary.
"As the emperor's concubine, we must take care of the emperor, but the emperor must be busy with government affairs recently, and our harem can't do politics, so we can only support it silently, if we only think about ourselves, wouldn't it make the emperor worried?"
After Zhao Yue analyzed with them, everyone fell silent.
After that, I don't know who agreed first, and then everyone looked up to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue didn't expect that he would be able to have such an appeal one day, which is really amazing.
At the end of the tea party, everyone was still unsatisfied, and many concubines felt that Zhao Yue was very easy to get along with, and they became good sisters with her, and they were reluctant to leave.
After sending everyone away, Bi Qing stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, you are too powerful, just today's tea party, they have changed their opinion of you!" Bi Qing showed a very adoring look.
"Actually, it's all because of prejudice and ignorance, sometimes as long as people are friendly to each other, they will definitely be respected."
Bi Qing nodded, still feeling that this was very rare.
Her mother is getting better and better, and Biqing feels very relieved.
The days passed, and there were a lot of war reports at the border, some good news and some bad ones, and Xiao Jining was also busy with government affairs and couldn't get out.
Zhao Yue hadn't seen him for almost a few months.
However, there are benefits that you can't see if you can't see him, and Zhao Yue is afraid that he won't know what to say when he sees him.
But she still has to help, she took the time to secretly go to the imperial study to help read some excerpts and solve some problems.
Looking at it, Zhao Yue annotated everything he could, and then found a small note to record it and put it in the fold.
After doing this, Zhao Yue left.
