Chapter 197: Be Yourself
The last rays of sunset disappeared under the clouds at noon, and the clouds for half a day were dyed in golden, orange and red.
Huang Yi'an stood on the steps of Kunning Palace, watching the glazed tiles shining brightly in the sunset, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes, and turned back to ask Amei: "Is the dinner in the small kitchen ready?" ”
Amei replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Niangniang, we are all preparing according to your arrangement." ”
It has been nearly four months since the emperor's wedding, and the cook in the small kitchen has also learned the meals that Qi Yu likes to eat, and today she tried to make her own according to Huang Yi'an's recipe for the first time.
Huang Yi'an thinks clearly, everything must be done with a degree, now that everything is very fresh in the newlywed, it is easy to say, if it has been a long time, if she has been buried in the small kitchen, it is nothing to become a cooking wife, but I am afraid that Qi Yu will gradually take her thoughtfulness and tenderness of cooking soup as a matter of course and commonplace.
I have practiced the craft for most of my life, and if it is useless because of this, it will be a great loss.
When the sunset faded, Huang Yi'an withdrew his gaze and instructed Ah Mei: "Your Majesty should also be on the way here, you go and redress my makeup, you have to be like that when you are at home." ”
Ah Mei thought that Huang Yi'an was going to make a folk costume to give Qi Yu a bright feeling, so as to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, so she responded with a smile.
When she returned to the dormitory, Amei had to do her best, combed Huang Yi'an with simple and elegant, delicate and cute makeup, and changed into a homely skirt.
When Huang Yi'an put on makeup and got up, Amei couldn't help but light up her eyes and sighed: "Niangniang's makeup is no different from when she was at home, and the slave maid thought in a trance that she was back before your wedding to Your Majesty!" ”
After a pause, he whispered again: "The slave always thinks that compared with the luxurious and graceful makeup of the queen, the mother is more suitable for this light and elegant makeup......"
After that, he waved his hand again and again and hurriedly defended: "Niangniang, the slave and maid have no disrespectful meaning!" The slave and the maid are saying, they are saying...... Oops, the slave doesn't know what to say! ”
Huang Yi'an looked at Amei, who was so anxious that she couldn't say anything, she couldn't help but laugh, took her hand and said, "Okay, I know you don't mean to be disrespectful, it's not that I can't afford the grace and luxury of the queen, I just think I'm more suitable for makeup at home." ”
Huang Yi'an said, Amei kept nodding in agreement, and kept repeating: "Yes, yes, yes......"
It's like a chicken pecking rice.
made Huang Yi'an smile from ear to ear.
Seeing that Huang Yi'an was not angry because of this, Amei comforted her, and her heart was relieved, and she couldn't help laughing, scratching her head in embarrassment.
Finally, the laughter stopped, and Huang Yi'an sighed: "Actually, I also think that I am more suitable and prefer the makeup at home." ”
Delicate but not deliberate, casual but not casual, all by their own mind to live a tasteful, quiet and calm life.
So after serving the queen's shelf for nearly four months, Huang Yi'an decided to take advantage of the threat of Empress Dowager Li from today onwards, at least try to be himself in front of Qi Yu and live according to his own preferences, not just pretending to be what others expect, or pretentious for a better life.
According to the experience of her previous life, she has to wait for forty-four years if she wants to die, no, with the experience of her previous life, she may live longer in this life, if she keeps "pretending" like this, others don't vomit, she herself is tired to death first.
In her previous life, she had to be shackled by the queen's dignified and virtuous, generous and graceful shackles for a lifetime, and in this life she wanted to work hard to be herself, and she lived this life in vain.
After Huang Yi'an finished putting on makeup, he leaned in front of the window to read a book as he did when he was at home in the past.
However, books are not idle books, but all kinds of historical theories.
The Empress is not just the Emperor's wife.
She wants to accompany Qi Yu to go further and get more respect from Qi Yu, but she can't rely on cooking girls and the like.
In the previous life, the reason why the Zheng family stood out among the nine concubines was not because of the handsome hairpin flower and poetry?
Huang Yi'an is ready to rob the Zheng family's favorite concubine in this life, and Empress Zhang and Qi Yu, who imitate Emperor Xiaozong, are a couple for the rest of their lives, but they are unwilling to just be a queen waiting for Qi Yu's favor.
In her life, she can't just revolve around Qi Yu.
At first, Huang Yi'an looked up at the sky outside the window from time to time to see if Qi Yu had come back, but gradually she was fascinated, so she immersed herself in the book, and she didn't even notice that the sunset had dispersed and the sky was darkening.
It wasn't until Amei came in to take charge of the lamp that the sound woke her up from the book.
Looking at the dark and gloomy sky outside, Huang Yi'an frowned and asked, "Hasn't Your Majesty come back yet?" ”
Ah Mei picked the wick, and the light suddenly became brighter, illuminating the words on the book in Huang Yi'an's hand - Hanshu.
"No, I don't." Amei replied, "However, before dark, the slave maid had already sent someone to the imperial study to ask, saying that it was the meaning of the mother, and asked when His Majesty would come back for dinner." ”
Huang Yi'an glanced at Ah Mei appreciatively.
Qi Yu is her husband and the emperor, she is used to controlling, or wants to control everything, she has to make him feel that she puts him first anytime and anywhere.
Ah Mei smiled and was appreciated by Huang Yi'an, and without waiting for Huang Yi'an to ask, she replied: "Your Majesty said that you won't come back for dinner tonight, so let the meal be sent to the imperial study, saying that he will wait until he finishes handling government affairs and then go back to Kunning Palace to sleep." The slave had already ordered dinner to be served. ”
After that, he asked Huang Yi'an with a smile: "Does Niangniang want to have dinner now?" Or will the slave maid first give you a cup of rock sugar pear soup to go to the autumn dryness? ”
Huang Yi'an smiled: "No. Since Your Majesty is dining in the imperial study, then let's just set the meal, and you will eat with me. ”
It's the same as when I was in the Huang family.
Amei smiled and responded.
Huang Yi'an got up and dressed casually, and asked casually: "By the way, why is Your Majesty busy so late?" I didn't even bother to come back for dinner. ”
Amei replied: "When the slave sent someone to deliver the message, she didn't expect that His Majesty would not come back for dinner, so she didn't ask too much. ”
After all, less than a month after the emperor's wedding, Qi Yu moved directly to Kunning Palace, sleeping and eating with Huang Yi'an every day, inseparable, and Kunning Palace has long been used to it.
"However, Master Zhang Wei, who said that he was in the cabinet, was also in the imperial study. Come to think of it, Your Majesty has something to discuss with him. Ame said nonchalantly.
Huang Yi'an's action of dressing up.
Zhang Wei?
Qi Yu has never had a personal relationship with him outside of government affairs, let alone paid special attention to him, why did he leave Zhang Wei to have dinner in the imperial study at this juncture and talk with him so far?
Zhang Wei, that is the meticulous work that Gao Heng put next to Zhang Gui, and it is the meticulous work that successfully liquidated Zhang Gui in his previous life and avenged Gao Jue!
Qi Yu kept him, was it really just to discuss government affairs?
