Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tricky
Five years ago, not long after that summer, Shi Brahma died, and the queen mother cried and swollen her eyes because of this, but Chu Mo's words naturally couldn't be dispersed in my ears for a long time, and the sudden death, whether it was true or false, presumably only Huang Fuchen knew.
However, there are also some benefits to this trouble. The Shi family lost its backbone, but it was still settled, Ziqing still did his own prince, moved out of the palace, and lived in his own prince's mansion, he was already smart, and now he is even more liked by the emperor. Qi Hao did not lose his favor with the emperor because of the Shi family's affairs, he was crowned the prince, and he also moved to his own Nanwang Mansion, after all, the Shi family's dead wood is entrenched, and the foundation is still firm, and the emperor will not do too much to his son.
Without the two of them in the palace, only Chu Mo and Chu Lige often accompany me, Chu Mo is becoming more and more important to the emperor, but whenever there is a little major event, the emperor has to come to ask him, and he has been there many times, sometimes Chu Lige will also say some of his own opinions, which often makes the emperor feel refreshed, and the entire temple of the gods is even more famous in the palace with Chu Lige, which makes people have to pay attention to the weight of the priest.
The whole palace is happy, and even the queen is no longer as domineering and majestic as before, and has become tactful and gentle. If it weren't for Chu Mo often mentioning it, I would really think that I was living in a world without strife.
In the past five years, I have learned to work with my mind, and my mind is more mature than before, like an old woman in the twilight of my life. But the body has only gradually developed and grown, the slowly bulging chest, the gradually thin cheeks, like the waist held by the reeds, always a pair of drunken and hazy eyes and the three thousand green silk of the shawl, such Helan Jiuli has caused too many red eyes.
From the moment I saw my face, I knew that this body was a beautiful embryo, but I didn't want it to be so beautiful and thrilling.
"Master, the Xuanzheng Palace has sent a message. The emperor went down to the early dynasty and set up the Yilan Palace. Sang Ma helped me insert the last bead flower on my head, stood quietly and said respectfully.
I took a look at myself in the bronze mirror, with bright teeth and red lips, a shallow smile pear vortex, slender phoenix eyes with a blurry flavor, green and jade hands ripped off a few hairpins on Ruyi's sideburns, looked at a face that was finally a little plain, and said softly, "Then wait for the driver, let the small kitchen prepare the ingredients, and wait for the palace to make snacks himself." ”
Sang Ma looked at the hair ornament I threw on the dressing table, and asked cautiously, "Master, didn't the emperor say that he likes to see you dressed up more gorgeously?" ”
"The main palace is not a vase, and the flowers and branches inserted throughout the day are beautiful? Do you listen to the emperor or mine? "I don't know what's wrong with me, but now my temper is getting worse and worse, and people are easily irritable, which makes the people around me afraid of me, and think that I am a tricky master. Sang Ma and Bai Zhi still treated me like before, sometimes they were angry and punished them on the head, and when they explained to them afterwards, they comforted me and said that I was staying in the palace for too long and suffocated my temperament.
"The slave and maid don't dare, so they naturally obey the master's orders." Sang Ma is still in that tone, I can't hear any emotion, Sang Ma has also become a qualified palace maid over the years, and she is the head of the master, she looks like this, I miss her noise at that time.
"Hongu ...... Hey, go and command. I waved her hand to pull back, and the apologetic words were swallowed back. Now I am no longer the Helan Jiuli who apologized everywhere and felt guilty everywhere five years ago, and I take everything for granted and let it be.
Seeing Sang Ma retreat, I stood up and looked at myself. It's no wonder that the emperor thinks about it every day, if I am a man, I must want to have such a woman by my side.
Facing himself in the bronze mirror, he took a deep breath and smiled, then turned around and walked out of the inner room, ready to take over. I know all these rules by heart, and I am no longer the little girl who was lying on the bed and at a loss.
"Master, just now Gonggong Zhao came to say that the emperor was stamped by the government, and asked the master to go to the Xuanzheng Hall to serve." Bai Zhi walked in from outside and whispered.
Half lying on the concubine collapsed and pretending to sleep, Sang Ma kneaded my shoulders, just made a snack for half an hour, I felt that my arms were sore, now, I really can't raise the slightest interest in cooking
"Then you put the dim sum in the food box and go to the Xuanzheng Hall with the main palace." shook his stiff neck, and felt a little sudden in his heart, Xuanzheng Palace, if there is no accident, I will see Ziqing and Qi Hao, I haven't seen them for more than half a year, and I don't know if the two of them are okay.
Riding on the palace road, he remembered that he ran away when he first went to the Divine Temple, and he was startled by Chu Lige the first time he saw him, and he suddenly felt funny, and he almost couldn't help laughing.
"The master laughs so beautifully." Hearing Sang Ma say this, the corners of my raised mouth slowly fell again. "It's almost there, isn't it?"
Seeing me like this, there was that cautious taste in her tone, "Well, there is still an intersection, just turn a corner, and Gonggong Zhao sent someone to carry a sedan chair and wait." ”
"Sang Ma, I can't help myself." I took her hand and sighed.
Sang Ma put his hand on the back of my hand, and said softly, "The slave understands, the master relaxes." ”
She is so understanding and sensible, no wonder I have always loved her, the palace maids of Yilan Hall have changed batch after batch, and only she and Bai Zhi have always been by my side and have become confidants.
When I arrived at Hualin Road, I stopped the Luan car, Zhao Gonggong had already lined up early to carry a sedan chair and waited for me, sat on the palace sedan chair, and went to the Xuanzheng Palace, this is not the first time I went, but I can't forget the scene of the first time I went, and was shocked by the majestic building in front of me for a long time, which made me feel that the Forbidden City is just like this.
When I arrived at His Royal Highness, I walked up hundreds of steps, thinking that those ministers were also hard, and I was tired and out of breath in the last morning, and when I arrived at the palace gate, there were only eunuchs and royal forest forbidden troops outside the Xuanzheng Palace, and the palace door was wide open, and Gonggong Zhao stood outside the palace and waited for me, and saw me coming and greeted me with a smile, "It's good that Niangniang is here, the emperor was furious just now, reprimanded King Nan, Niangniang went to a good life to persuade and persuade, after all, the emperor's body and bones cannot tolerate great joy and sorrow." ”
Zhao Fu is a eunuch who has served by the emperor's side since he was a child, like a confidant, sharing the emperor's worries and thinking about the emperor everywhere. Everyone in the palace respects him, and even the queen will say hello to her father-in-law when she sees him, so I will naturally remember what he said. "Gonggong Xie mentioned it, but I don't know why the emperor is angry."
"I heard that for the sake of Liangzhou, it is about the hometown of the mother, and our family does not dare to talk nonsense." Zhao Gonggong smiled on his face, he was a smiling tiger, he knew that Huang Fuchen doted on me a little, and he had always been lenient in front of me.
