Chapter 78: Your Majesty, You're Talking to Heaven Again, Do You Know?
Every time Lin Jiaojiao cooks for the emperor, it is just some home-cooked food, and she does not deliberately arrange it, but the taste is much more delicious than that made in the imperial dining room.
"The emperor will know if you look at it."
She took the hot meal out of the food box, and immediately a fragrance wafted away, and the index finger of the hooker moved.
Jun Wenyuan saw her take out two bowls, and frowned slightly: "Concubine Ai came over without lunch?" ”
In the past, Lin Jiaojiao would only come after having lunch in her palace, and Changle Palace was not too close to the imperial study.
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head when she heard this, and smiled softly: "The concubine wants to accompany the emperor to have lunch together." ”
Seeing her say this, Jun Wenyuan didn't say anything more, they wouldn't let the people around them serve when they were dining together, so he waved his hand to let the palace people retreat.
Lin Jiaojiao made a bowl of soup and put it in front of the emperor: "The emperor tasted it, this soup was found by the concubine in an ancient book of medicinal food, and it was very suitable for the emperor to nourish his body after showing it to the imperial doctor." ”
Jun Wenyuan doesn't like to eat medicinal food very much, no matter how he does it, there is a smell of medicine in it. But in the face of the little concubine's expectant eyes, the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back raw.
Stretched out his hand to take the bowl handed over by the little concubine, fortunately, the temperature of the soup was just right, and he could drink the soup in one go.
"There isn't any smell of herbs in this soup?"
Lin Jiaojiao watched the emperor drink all the soup in the bowl in one gulp, and she was still a little shocked, but when she heard his words, she twitched the corners of her mouth.
"Well, these medicinal materials have been processed, and naturally there is no taste of medicinal materials." After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor with a wink, and smiled sheepishly: "Your Majesty, you don't like the smell of medicine, right?" ”
Jun Wenyuan: ......
"Could it be that the concubine likes the smell of medicine?" He looked at the little concubine with a look of surprise: "That concubine's hobby is a little special!" ”
Lin Jiaojiao, who was asked rhetorically, had nothing to say: ......
Your Majesty, you've been talking to death again, do you know?
"I don't like it." She hurriedly shook her head, her little nose wrinkled: "The concubine doesn't like it the most, she was not in good health when she was a child, and she always drank bitter medicine." Now that my health is better, I don't want to touch those bitter medicines anymore. ”
Speaking of this, Jun Wenyuan touched her head with some distress: "Then the concubine should pay more attention to her body in the future." ”
"The emperor also has to take care of himself, nothing is more important than having a healthy body. Especially if you are the people of the world, if anything happens to you, the sky of the feast will fall, and the sky of the concubines will also fall. ”
Lin Jiaojiao tilted her head and spoke with a serious face. Jun Wenyuan, who looked small, couldn't help laughing, especially wanting to pinch her white and tender little face to see if she could pinch out the water.
Suppressing his imminent thoughts, Jun Wenyuan calmly retracted his gaze and nodded: "Okay, I must take care of my body." ”
After the two had lunch, Jun Wenyuan took her hand and went for a walk outside. While walking and chatting, I unknowingly walked to the Imperial Garden.
Because autumn is approaching, the weather is no longer so hot. The concubines in the palace also began to come out and walk around, and as soon as they arrived at the imperial garden, they saw the concubine sitting in the pavilion, and there were a few newcomers sitting beside her.
I don't know what to say, but the look on Concubine Shu's face is very happy. The smile in her eyes was about to flow out, adding a little more luster to her soft face.
Jun Wenyuan didn't expect to meet so many concubines in the Imperial Garden, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but at this time, Concubine Shu looked up and saw them.
"The concubines have seen the emperor and the concubines."
Concubine Shu's eyes lit up when she saw the emperor, and she immediately got up and walked forward quickly with a few low-ranking newcomers, saluting softly.
"Get up."
Jun Wenyuan called people up, and when he faced Concubine Shu, his expression was gentle: "What were you talking about just now, I was very happy to see Concubine Ai." ”
Concubine Shu showed a shy smile when she heard this, and she didn't seem to be embarrassed: "I didn't say anything, it was just some funny things that my sisters said, and the concubines who coaxed me were very happy." Their little mouths are very sweet. ”
The few little concubines who were mentioned were all red-faced, and they didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, but it didn't prevent them from secretly taking a few looks. Although they were all called to bed, they never saw the holy face again after that time.
When I saw it again today, I was still nervous, but I was careful to show my most beautiful side as much as possible, and strive to get the emperor's attention.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't even give them a straight eye, just said a few words to Concubine Shu, and was ready to take the concubine Niangniang away.
"I won't disturb Concubine Ai's enjoyment."
After speaking, he was ready to leave with his little concubine, and the words of the little concubine yesterday were still lingering in his mind. She didn't like to be too close to others, this was a little vinegar jar.
The smile on Concubine Shu's face froze for a moment, she looked at the emperor who was pulling the concubine and preparing to leave, her mind moved, and she said: "Your Majesty, you can have time to sit with the concubine at night, the concubine has something to say to the emperor." ”
Jun Wenyuan was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at Concubine Shu, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Okay, I will go to sit with Concubine Ai at night." ”
Concubine Shu's heart tightened when she was looked at by the emperor, but after hearing the emperor's words, her heart was relieved. also showed a gentle smile on his face, and sent the two away.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't speak all the way back, hung her head slightly, and showed her unhappiness very obviously.
Jun Wenyuan rubbed her head helplessly, stopped, pulled her in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Concubine Ai is unhappy?" ”
Lin Jiaojiao pursed her red lips and raised her head to look at the emperor: "The emperor really has a lot of concubines." ”
Jun Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then let out a pleasant laugh: "Then I won't call you Concubine Ai in the future, but call you Jiaojiao, okay?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Jiaojiao accepted it when she saw it, and then snorted Jiaojiao, her voice was a little muffled: "Concubine Shu actually wanted to hook up with the emperor in front of the concubine, but she really didn't put the concubine in her eyes at all, and it is really different to have palace power in her hands." ”
Jun Wenyuan took the person and walked to the imperial study, and was happy to hear her words: "If Jiaojiao wants the palace power, I can make an order to put the palace power in your hands." ”
"Forget it, the queen mother is already afraid of her concubines. If you decree that the palace power will be put in the hands of the concubines, the queen mother is afraid that the concubines will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh. ”
Hearing her say it so bluntly, a touch of helplessness flashed in Jun Wenyuan's eyes. But there was a faint joy in her heart, she didn't have any defenses against herself, which was completely trusting him to her.
He grew up in the royal family, and since he was a child, he has been indifferent and self-controlled. I will not completely trust one person, even the closest relatives.
Now in the face of such complete trust, his heart is becoming softer and softer.
He was married to the queen as a young man, although he didn't like the queen, but he gave all the dignity he should give. But in the queen's heart, the most important thing is the glory of the family, and then he is the emperor.
Concubine Shu treats him sincerely, but what she values most is the palace power in the harem. Most of these concubines flattered him for the sake of glory and wealth or family glory. But now he knows that the concubine is not, she coaxes him to be happy, but she just wants him to be happy, without any other purpose.
With such a sincere heart, he must not let it down.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw that the emperor's favorability had risen a few points, and now it has jumped to 90.
Lin Jiaojiao: ???
Looking at the dog emperor with a calm expression, what did he make up in his brain? Where did this sudden increase in favorability come from?
Lin Jiaojiao was surprised in her heart, but she didn't plan to investigate the reason, anyway, it was a good thing for her.
My heart was happy, and the depression just now was swept away.
Back in the imperial study, Lin Jiaojiao stayed to accompany the emperor to review the excerpts.
"You don't have to wait today, just sit over there." Jun Wenyuan pointed, then turned his head and instructed Chang Hai: "Go and ask someone to prepare some snacks and tea." ”
Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao immediately ordered: "Please send someone to the library to get a few books related to mechanical arts." ”
Chang Hai glanced at the emperor, and when he saw him nodding, he immediately said, "Yes, the old slave will order someone to do it." ”
The person Chang Hai was looking for was very neat, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a few heavy books in his hand.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the heavy ancient books, and her eyes lit up instantly. She was a little eager to see how the tricks here differed from what she had learned from the master.
Jun Wenyuan looked at the little concubine with sparkling eyes, with a little doting in his eyes. It seems that she really likes to study things like mechanical arts, otherwise she wouldn't have eyes as bright as stars when she sees a book.
Quietly in the imperial study, the emperor concentrated on reading the folds. The concubine, who was sitting on the side, quietly looked at the book in her hand, sketching on the paper from time to time.
Occasionally, as if they had a heart, the two raised their heads to look at each other at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled before continuing to bow their heads and do their own thing.
That tacit understanding, Chang Hai was a little envious when he saw it. He has been by the emperor's side for many years, and it is really the first time he has seen a concubine who has a tacit understanding with the emperor. No wonder the emperor values the concubine, there is a reason for this.
Lin Jiaojiao closed the book and rubbed her neck. Raising her head to look at the emperor who had reviewed the excerpts, she quietly got up and left. After a while, he walked over with a teacup in his hand.
She replaced the tea cup that had been cooled on the imperial case, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's take a sip of tea and rest." ”
Jun Wenyuan heard the familiar soft voice and put down the pen in his hand. He took the teacup and took a sip.
This tea seems to be a little different from what he usually drinks, and the taste seems to be clearer.
"You made this tea?"
Lin Jiaojiao walked behind the emperor, gently massaged his shoulder, and shook his head when she heard his words: "No, what's wrong?" Isn't it delicious? ”
She added ingredients to this tea, which can relieve fatigue.
"It seems to be a little more refreshing than usual."
Lin Jiaojiao showed a coquettish smile when she heard this, and leaned into the emperor's ear: "It must be because it was sent by the hands of the concubines, and the taste is different." ”
Hearing her words, Jun Wenyuan laughed: "I don't know that Jiaojiao is still so narcissistic." ”
She put her arms around the emperor's neck, her body moved, and people squeezed into the emperor's lap and sit. Raising his chin slightly, he asked, "Your Majesty, is the concubine beautiful?" ”
"Beautiful!"
"The concubine is so beautiful, naturally the things that pass through the hands of the concubine will become different from others."
Looking at the little concubine's righteous look, Jun Wenyuan shook his head helplessly, what kind of crooked reasoning is this. But it seems that if it is really eaten by her hands, it will be more delicious.
"Well, you're beautiful, you're right!"
When Lin Jiaojiao heard the emperor's words, she laughed happily, as if she was pleased by his words. She suddenly approached quickly, touched him on the lips, and then quickly left.
Jun Wenyuan's body stiffened, and the courage of this little concubine was getting bigger and bigger. The skin seems to be getting thicker and thicker, and there are still palace people in this imperial study.
Holding down the somewhat restless villain, there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
"Don't move, be careful if you move again, I'll do you on the spot!"
When Lin Jiaojiao heard this, she raised her head and met the deep eyes, and immediately became honest. She didn't want to set herself on fire, and it wouldn't be good if she got away.
"Then the emperor, you let go of the concubines and let the concubines go down." She whispered.
Jun Wenyuan let go of his hand, but when she got up, beating his little ass was a punishment.
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes widened and looked at the Dog Emperor, he actually spanked her, what should I do if I am so ashamed?
At this moment, her little face really turned red, and she glanced at the smiling dog emperor, she quickly returned to her place and sat down, picked up the book and read it.
Jun Wenyuan looked at the little concubine with a crimson face, and the smile in his eyes became a little deeper. Then I picked up the pen and continued to review the excerpts. I don't know if she's with her, but this batch of reading excerpts doesn't seem to be so boring and boring.
Time flies, Lin Jiaojiao sorted out the pattern of the mechanism she initially drew and stretched her waist. As soon as I turned my head, I saw the emperor who walked to his side at some point.
Jun Wenyuan looked at the pattern of the hidden weapon drawn on the paper, with a little surprise in his eyes, this style seemed to be more suitable for the soldiers of the army.
"This is what you researched today?"
Lin Jiaojiao nodded, and then gave the paper to the emperor: "Well, I wrote a detailed introduction on the back of this." The emperor can find someone to type one, and then the concubines will make changes according to the real thing. ”
"Okay."
Jun Wenyuan nodded, and then carefully put away the design drawings. The more he came into contact, the more he found that his little concubine was a treasure, and he didn't know what kind of surprise it would bring him.
"You can keep one of these books in the imperial study, and take the others back to read." Seeing her nodding, Jun Wenyuan rubbed her head again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to dinner today, so let Chang Hai send you back." ”
Lin Jiaojiao knew that he promised to go to Concubine Shu today, so she was not disappointed when she heard this, but she still showed a little loss on her face.
"Well, the concubine knows."
Seeing that the villain was a little sullen, Jun Wenyuan sighed, leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Can I be a flower thief again today?" ”
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and then she pushed the emperor, and said with a smile: "The concubine went back first." ”
Watching the little concubine leave satisfied, Jun Wenyuan's mood became inexplicably brisk. When Chang Hai sent people back and came back to restore his life, he whispered a few words in his ear.
Lin Jiaojiao returned to her Changle Palace here, knowing that the emperor would come back at night. After she took a walk for dinner, she went to the back bathroom to take a beautiful hot spring bath.
Sitting down at the dresser, she glanced at it, then landed on a box of incense. Only then did I remember that this incense was given to her by Concubine Hui.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, opened the incense box, and picked a small piece to apply under her wrist and ears. A faint fragrance lingers, very good.
"Niangniang, don't use this incense......"
Chu Yu was a little worried, after all, this thing was given by another concubine. In the harem, these things smeared on the body are the most cautious.
"Nothing."
She shook her head, not explaining anything. The saffron in this incense is extremely secret, and even ordinary imperial doctors can't find anything.
Mama Lin watched from the side, and then glanced at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu moved the corners of his mouth, and in the end he didn't say anything, even Mama Lin didn't stop it, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Lin Jiaojiao held today's newly acquired book and flipped through it on the soft pillow. It wasn't until Mama Lin reminded that it was not too early, and she reluctantly closed the book and put it aside.
"There is no need for anyone to guard outside today, you all go down and rest."
Mama Lin answered, and then waited for her to lie down, leaving only one candle before leaving.
As the night got darker, Lin Jiaojiao's sleepiness became deeper and deeper, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just when I couldn't support myself and fell asleep, I felt someone leaning over next to me, and the familiar ambergris rushed into the tip of my nose.
Jun Wenyuan encircled the little concubine into his arms, and rubbed the tip of his nose against the side of her ear.
"Jiaojiao's scent on her body today seems to be a little different from usual?"
Lin Jiaojiao covered her mouth, yawned delicately, and asked lazily, "Does the emperor think it smells good?" ”
"It smells good."
"This incense was given to the concubine by the concubine, and the concubine accepted it when she smelled good. I didn't expect Hui Concubine's hands to be quite skillful, and she could embroider and fragrance. ”
As she said this, she couldn't help but yawn again. Tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, which showed that he was sleepy.
When the emperor saw her trapped like this, he couldn't bear to toss her, so he tightened the building.
"Sleep, see what sleeps you."
Lin Jiaojiao was indeed a little sleepy, rubbed the emperor's strong chest, and did not smell the fragrance of other women on him, so he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
Looking at the little concubine who fell asleep in an instant, Jun Wenyuan couldn't cry or laugh. Then he kissed her on the forehead and whispered.
"What a little fool, if I don't take care of you more, I'm afraid I'll be calculated to death by those concubines in the harem."
Satisfied, holding the person in his arms, Jun Wenyuan closed his eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When Lin Jiaojiao woke up on the second day, sure enough, the position next to her was already cold, indicating that the person who slept here last night had left early.
Hearing the movement in the house, Chu Xue and several people immediately came in to serve, sat in front of the dresser, and Lin Jiaojiao glanced at the incense box.
"Put this incense box away."
She still has this thing useful, so naturally she has to save some use.
