Chapter 57: The Cramped Spirit
Lin Jiaojiao slept a beauty sleep and looked at the sky outside the window that was gradually darkening. rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his soft voice was a little lazy as if he had just woken up.
"First snow, water."
The delicate white jade tea cup was handed to her eyes, and Lin Jiaojiao squinted her eyes and took a sip of it.
Jun Wenyuan looked at the well-behaved villain, and he looked like a cute little beast drinking water in a daze, which made his heart soften. How did he find out that his little concubine was so cute, the more he looked at it, the more people liked it.
If Lin Jiaojiao knew the emperor's thoughts at this time, she would definitely say that the dog emperor's temperament is really love and want to live, and hate to die!
A glass of water with a cold silk belly, her dry throat was better, and she was just about to speak, when she was pulled into a strong embrace. The pleasant smell of ambergris lingers on the tip of the nose, and the person suddenly comes to his senses.
"Your Majesty......" She struggled twice to get up and salute, but was forcefully restrained.
"It's just the two of us here, so there's no need for that much etiquette."
The faint fragrance lingered, miraculously soothing his anger from receiving the secret letter in the afternoon.
Lin Jiaojiao leaned on obediently, but secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. I don't care now, but it's because I fit his mind at this time, and when I make him unhappy one day, I don't know what it will look like.
"Is the emperor in a bad mood?"
Gently tracing the delicate embroidered patterns with her fingers, she was very sensitive to people's emotions, and from the time she found the emperor, she felt that his emotions seemed to have a hint of anger, although he did not show it.
"Hmm."
Jun Wenyuan was slightly surprised by her acuity, and since she was detected, she didn't hide it.
Lin Jiaojiao raised her head, her delicate little face wrinkled. There was a little annoyance in the cat's eyes, and the soft and glutinous voice was a little angry, sounding fierce and fierce.
"Who dares to make the emperor unhappy, the concubine will beat her."
Listening to this child's words, Jun Wenyuan really didn't know what to say. But I remembered that when I was a child, this white jade dumpling seemed to have said the same thing.
At that time, her father loved the imperial concubine the most, and naturally the king of Jin she gave birth to was the most favored among the princes. And although he was the crown prince, he was so young at the time, and he also longed for his father's love. So for a while, he had a bad temperament, and this white jade tuanzi said that whoever dared to make the prince's brother unhappy, Jiao Bao went to beat her.
The small white jade dumplings coincided with the delicate and bright villain in front of him, which made his heart completely soften.
Lin Jiaojiao felt a slight change in the emperor's mood, and there were some doubts in her heart. However, she is happy to see changes that are beneficial to herself.
"I'm the emperor, who can make me feel bad." The smile in his eyes was a little more doting, and he touched the hair like silk.
The long ink-like hair was scattered, and the palm-sized little face on the lining became more and more white as jade. Pink delicacy is unapplied, soft and pleasant.
Lin Jiaojiao pouted and snorted: "Lin Yushi can!" That's really the fighting chicken among the counselors! ”
The corners of Jun Wenyuan's mouth twitched, and his brain hurt when he mentioned Lin Yushi. Then he couldn't help but laugh and pinch her nose.
"Cramped ghosts!"
Although he didn't quite understand what the battle chicken in her mouth was, it was certainly not a good word.
Playing with the little white jade-like hands, Jun Wenyuan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes darkened a little.
Lin Jiaojiao came out of his arms and collapsed.
"The concubines should make some food that the emperor likes."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and ran out with his skirt.
Jun Wenyuan looked at the villain who ran out, and the corners of his mouth rose. If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and the night is still long anyway.
The emperor stayed in Changle Palace for five consecutive nights, which made the harem explode. I don't know how many people crushed the handkerchiefs in their hands and how many porcelain pieces were broken.
No matter how jealous the people outside were, Lin Jiaojiao in Changle Palace was lazily slumped on the chaise longue. Waiting for the first rain with his mouth open, he stretched out one hand to enjoy the nail art service of the first descent.
Chen Fu came in from outside and bowed: "The slave sees the noble concubine." ”
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyelids and said lightly: "Get up, how is the investigation?" ”
Chen Fu glanced around, and Chu Yu immediately sent people down, and then led people to guard the door.
Seeing Chen Fu so cautious, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but cheer up at night, and her expression became a little serious.
"The slave found out a while ago, the people around the queen contacted a palace maid in our palace who was responsible for delivering laundry......"
Chen Fu said what he had investigated, and then lowered his head silently.
Lin Jiaojiao's beautiful cat's eyes narrowed slightly after listening to it, and after pondering for a long time, she suddenly hooked her lips and was happy.
"The palace maid who sent the laundry has a sister who serves in the palace of the concubine?"
"Yes, the relationship between the two sisters is excellent."
She thought that Changle Palace was like an iron bucket, but she didn't expect to be rubbed in. But I don't know if the master behind this person is the queen or the concubine.
"Tell the queen about this."
Chen Fu nodded yes and turned to leave, but he wondered why he didn't reveal this matter to Concubine Shu?
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the newly painted Kodan and was very satisfied. The first appearance of the craft is really good, which is very much in line with her heart.
It's time to go and say hello to the queen tomorrow, I don't know if there will be any good things to watch.
The queen of Fengyi Palace dropped the tea cup in her hand, and her dignified face showed a trace of hideous hatred.
"Slut!"
The queen's chest rose and fell violently, which showed how excited she was. Her face was pale, but her eyes were bloodshot. With the hatred in the bottom of the eyes, it makes people feel chills down their spine.
"Mother's ......"
Seeing that the queen had vented and her mood was a little more stable, Du Mo stepped forward with the re-poured tea and called softly.
The queen raised her head, her face was already covered with tears, and she looked at Du Mo with hatred in her voice.
"Well, I'm afraid we've all been calculated this time!"
Where is the concubine pregnant, but it is just a small day. And the person who revealed the information to them just wanted them to believe that the concubine was pregnant.
Du Mo moved the corners of her mouth, she wanted to say that the other party didn't reveal anything. It's just that the concubine's small day has been delayed for a few days, and this is because the master Niangniang has already decided that the concubine is pregnant at that time.
"Niangniang, the old slave knows that you hate in your heart, but the most important thing now is to take care of your body."
As long as she is well conditioned, the queen's body can still recover, and there is no problem with pregnancy. But the premise is that the queen must rest in peace and remember to overwork.
The queen naturally understood this in her heart, but she thought that she was being calculated. is still a person who has won her trust, and she can't swallow this breath.
"This palace is unwilling!"
"The old slave knows that the mother is unwilling, but the old slave has a plan here."
"Say it quickly."
Listening to Du Mo's strategy, the queen's eyes lit up. is worthy of the person that her grandmother specially chose for her, and there is no shortage of scheming means.
Because the emperor has been to Changle Palace for five consecutive days, everyone is watching the emperor's movements this night.
In Changle Palace, Lin Jiaojiao put down the book in her hand, covered the corners of her mouth and yawned.
"Turn off the lights."
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and asked, "Don't you wait for the emperor to come up?" ”
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head: "No need, the emperor won't come over today." ”
If the Dog Emperor wanted to come, he would have come over a long time ago.
Lin Jiaojiao rested early in Changle Palace, but the others waited until they got the news of the Yuehua Palace before they rested unwillingly.
Early the next morning, Lin Jiaojiao led the palace people to Fengyi Palace with great energy, but she was looking forward to saying goodbye to the queen today.
The low-ranking concubines in Fengyi Palace all came over early, because there were no concubines with too high ranks, but the atmosphere was relaxed and chatting.
Anyway, everyone is not favored, and there is nothing sour to say.
Lin Jiaojiao saw such a scene when she came in, the corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't expect such a harmonious scene.
"I've seen the concubine."
Lin Jiaojiao walked to her place and sat down, smiling: "All sisters, get up." ”
She is in a good mood today, and she treats everyone gently. Even if some bold concubines stabbed her a few words, she didn't care.
A concubine who does not provoke envy is not a good concubine, and some people are jealous, which shows that she is not far from the real favorite concubine.
Looking at the concubine sitting above, the already beautiful face became more and more beautiful, with a smile and a smile, and she always felt that her face was more prosperous than before.
"The concubine is getting more and more beautiful, I don't know what the secret is to maintain her beauty?"
Feng Zhaoyi blinked her big eyes and looked at Concubine Lin with a smile. She hid the jealousy in her heart so well that no one ever found out.
Lin Jiaojiao touched her face when she heard this, and said with a smile: "This palace is naturally beautiful, where do you need any beauty secrets, but if you don't have a cherry blossom palace, you have to drink a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest." ”
Bird's nest is not a very precious thing here, and the concubines in the palace can drink a bowl regardless of their position.
When Feng Zhaoyi asked, many of the concubines didn't show it on their faces, but their ears were pricked up to listen. Where can a woman have a secret that does not love beauty, especially from the hands of the concubine with a very good face, it is absolutely rare.
It's a pity that they were disappointed, and they have nothing to say about the narcissism of the concubine, after all, what they say is the truth.
It can be said that Lin Jiaojiao's words are dead talking, and no one speaks anymore. It wasn't until Concubine Shu came that the atmosphere became lively again.
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes fell on Concubine Shu, who was tired, and she took a sip of tea before asking unhurriedly: "Concubine Shu's face is a little tired, it seems that she was tired yesterday." ”
The concubine's words were a little straightforward, and the concubine's face changed. After a few breaths, her face returned to calm. Raising his signature gentle smile, he said softly.
"Sister Guifei laughed, how can she be tired of serving the emperor's concubines."
Concubine Shu tightened the handkerchief in her hand, she had just come to the concubine and stumbled on her, thinking of her previous calculations, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, could it be that the concubine found something?
But although the person she calculated was the queen, the concubine had nothing to lose. Thinking of this, she continued: "Hasn't the queen mother come out yet?" ”
Usually, when there are people here, the queen will come out, but today the people have been together for a while, but the queen is nowhere to be seen.
Lin Jiaojiao raised her hand to pin the broken hair behind her ears: "Sister Shufei really has a very good relationship with the queen." ”
Lady: ......
Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Lin, I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that she was always targeting herself today.
Just when Concubine Shu was puzzled, the queen finally came late.
Everyone stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Say hello to the queen!" ”
The queen sat on the main seat, and then said with a faint expression: "Get up." ”
Everyone got up and sat down, looked up at the queen, and found that the queen's face did not seem to be very good, her face was a little pale, and she looked tired.
"The queen's face is not good, but she is not feeling well?"
Concubine Shu was the first to speak, her eyes and voice filled with genuine concern.
Concubine Lin glanced at the queen, and sure enough, she caught a trace of hatred from her eyes. Pick up the teacup and hide the smile from the corner of your mouth.
The queen's mobile phone holding the teacup tightened uncheckably, and then smiled faintly.
"The body of this palace is indeed a little uncomfortable, and the doctor said that he needs to recuperate." After speaking, her eyes fell on Concubine Shu: "I'm afraid that the palace affairs in the hands of this palace will have to work hard for you and the concubine." ”
Concubine Shu was secretly happy in her heart, but her face became more and more worried: "Niangniang should pay attention to her body." ”
The queen smiled and did not answer. She glanced at the concubine, then looked at the concubine and said lightly: "This palace knows that the concubine has always been lazy, and she doesn't like to take care of palace affairs the most, so the concubine will work harder." ”
Lin Jiaojiao listened to the queen's words, and had no opinion at all, but showed a grateful smile: "The queen's mother really loves the concubine the most, and she knows that the concubine doesn't like to care about these things the most." ”
The queen looked at the happy look on the concubine's face and choked in her heart. Lowered her eyes slightly, I don't know if the concubine really doesn't care about the palace power at all?
Concubine Shu looked flattered, but she did not refuse: "It is the honor of the concubine to be able to share the burden for the queen." ”
Lin Jiaojiao hooked her lips and smiled, and glanced at Concubine Shu. sighed twice in my heart, and I didn't know if Concubine Shu was too excited or what, but she didn't notice the queen's strange appearance.
But none of this is her business, she just needs to watch the play quietly. And today's queen's behavior also made her more sure of some of the speculations in her heart.
The queen's body was already weak, and it was really annoying to watch the concubines below play a sharp edge.
"Alright, it's not too early, you all disperse." After speaking, he looked at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu stays." ”
Lin Jiaojiao took the lead in getting up, and left with the palace people after blessing her body.
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was talking to Yuan Mo beside her. When she heard that the queen handed over the palace power in her hand to Concubine Shu, she was stunned, and then smiled.
"Our queen doesn't know what to do, and she is willing to give away the palace power she cares about the most."
Yuan Mo has served the Queen Mother all her life, and naturally knows how much the Queen Mother dislikes this queen.
"The old slave heard that the queen's health is not very good, so the hospital will let her recuperate."
"Do you know why?"
The queen has always been in good health and rarely gets sick. Even if she was sick, she had never seen her separate the palace power before.
This time she didn't think it was weird, but it didn't involve Jiaobao, and she didn't bother to care. After all, this queen is also smart, and she has never been sorry for Jiaobao.
It's not bad to have such a self-aware queen, at least Jiaobao can live a more comfortable life.
"I don't know, the old slave asked people to check. But they were all blocked back by the emperor's people. ”
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, and after a while she ordered: "Since the emperor has made a move, there is no need to investigate further." ”
Now that she has sat in the position of the queen mother, the emperor is filial, and she is too lazy to take care of these concubines in the harem. As long as she doesn't go too far, she also turns a blind eye and enjoys her old age in peace.
But the only regret is that there have been no grandchildren to hold, and I don't know why the concubines in this harem are so uncompetitive.
After the queen handed over the palace power to Concubine Shu, she really closed the palace door and recuperated in peace.
Concubine Shu took over the palace power, and naturally the preparation of the Queen Mother's birthday fell to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu was busy for a while.
As the days passed, the weather gradually became less hot and dry.
Lin Jiaojiao came to the imperial study with food, and was immediately welcomed in by Chang Haihuan. Since the emperor's lunch was handed over to the concubine, his complexion and mood were much better than before.
They are on an errand in front of the emperor, and the emperor is in a good mood, so he is naturally easier to do. Therefore, the people who serve in front of the palace are very fond and respectful of the concubine.
Lin Jiaojiao is now accustomed to the enthusiastic attitude of the people who serve in front of the palace, she asked people to give a thick purse, and walked in with a food box.
Jun Wenyuan put down the fold in his hand, helped the villain who was about to salute up, took the food box in her hand very naturally, and pulled her to the table to sit down.
Started to feed today, and ate slimy after a meal.
Chang Hai hung his head and stood aside, from the initial shock to the current numbness. Anyway, with the concubine, nothing is impossible.
Lin Jiaojiao touched her bulging belly: "Don't patronize the emperor to feed the concubines, you can eat too." The concubine was so full that she couldn't eat anymore. ”
Saying that, she peeled a shrimp with her own hands and fed it to the emperor's mouth.
The queen ate it with her slender hand, and teased the villain a little, and only stopped when she saw that the tips of the other party's ears were red.
As soon as she finished lunch, Lin Jiaojiao got up and was about to leave, when she saw someone come in to spread the word.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived."
Lin Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, and a face similar to the emperor automatically appeared in her mind, but the other party was a little softer, but it didn't look feminine.
"The concubine went back first, and waited for the emperor at night."
Jun Wenyuan stretched out his hand and pulled the person to his side, and said with a smile: "You may not have seen King Jin for a long time, you are not an outsider, and you just happened to see it." ”
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the emperor for a while, and only saw a gentle smile from those deep eyes, and nothing else was seen.
"Okay."
She snuggled obediently in the emperor's arms, watched the door of the imperial study open, and a handsome man in a moon-white robe walked in.
When she saw the man in front of her, a sentence flashed in Lin Jiaojiao's mind.
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
This man is too good-looking, isn't he? Especially the temperament of this body, like a fairy.
It's just that Lin Jiaojiao is used to seeing beautiful men, and it's just a momentary sparkle.
Jun Wenyuan had been paying attention to Lin Jiaojiao's reaction since King Jin appeared, and her momentary swaying was also taken into his eyes.
