Chapter 27: Congratulations to my father and the emperor for having a noble son
In the middle of summer nights, the sky is full of stars, the sound of crickets chirping clearly in the night, the orange candlelight flickers, and the air is filled with a little fragrance.
The breeze gently blew into the dormitory, stirring the water-green embroidered bird curtains.
Gao Changle and Emperor Jiayuan sat next to each other as the same figures, and there were not many dishes on the small table on the big kang near the window, but they were all treasures, the eight treasures of wild duck and duck were golden, and the sweet and sour small ribs were flat, and now it was the time for the pike crab and crab roe to be plump, and then add two kinds of vegetarian dishes with wine, fried bamboo shoots and refreshing cucumbers, with the peach blossom wine that was once brewed by the Yuan Dynasty, a bowl of egg drop soup, before the entrance, it has already made Emperor Jiayuan slightly drunk.
"In such a good mood today?"
Under the face of Emperor Jiayuan Junlang, the sword eyebrows were incredibly raised, it was rare for Gao Changle to pass the legend that he wanted to dine with him, Emperor Jiayuan put down government affairs and obediently came over, but he didn't want to be surprised by Gao Changle's preparation, compared to those luxurious and expensive big fish and meat, Emperor Jiayuan preferred to be elegant and simple, so that he could have the taste of home.
"Tell me, is there something to ask my father?" Emperor Jiayuan looked at the small dishes on the kang table, and looked at Gao Changle as if he knew it, his ink eyes were full of tenderness and indulgence, "For the sake of your table of meals, my father promised you a request, as long as it was not too much, my father would agree to anything." β
"Flutter-"
Gao Changle was amused by Emperor Jiayuan's serious expression, and while pouring a glass of wine for Emperor Jiayuan, he quipped, "Father, does Changle have to ask for something to show favor to his father?" β
"If Changle didn't ask for it, wouldn't my father have to turn around and leave now, and there would be no need to use this meal?"
"Yes, yes, it's my father's fault, my father shouldn't say that, my father said it wrong, punish yourself with a drink!" Emperor Jiayuan was not angry because of Gao Changle's drive, but with a loving smile on his face, his eyes fell on the peach blossom wine contained in the celadon bottle on the table.
Xianyin always liked to make these things when she was alive, other pastries were okay, Emperor Jiayuan didn't like sweets, but only one hand of peach blossom wine was a sweet and peculiar taste, between the entrances can not be forgotten for a long time, these years she brewed peach blossom wine has been drunk a lot by Emperor Jiayuan, every time I miss Xianyin, I will take a drink to express comfort, and then I saw that most of the peach blossom wine is gone, Emperor Jiayuan will not dare to drink anymore, looking at the wine and can still recall every move when Xianyin made wine, a smile, if they are all drunk, I'm afraid I don't even have a thought.
Now seeing Gao Changle take out the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty, he can't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
Raised the wine glass and drank it all, the familiar taste stimulated the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, and it also made Emperor Jiayuan feel an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Gao Changle filled the wine glass for Emperor Jiayuan, and poured another glass for himself.
Emperor Jiayuan stretched out his hand and slowly blocked Gao Changle's face, "Changle, you are still young." β
Not yet suitable for drinking.
But Gao Changle resolutely brushed Emperor Jiayuan's hand away, and said with a low smile, "Father, just a cup, you know the peach blossom wine brewed by the queen mother herself, there is not much harm, today is a good day for your father after all!" β
"Changle also wants to be happy with you."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Emperor Jiayuan was a little stunned, "What's a good thing?" β
Without waiting for Emperor Jiayuan to react, Gao Changle had already drunk the peach blossom wine in the white jade wine glass, and his red lips said lightly, "Congratulations to my father and the emperor for adding another heir, Jiang Xiuyi has been diagnosed with a happy pulse." β
"And Changle will also have an extra royal sister or royal brother?!"
"Ahemβ"
Emperor Jiayuan almost choked himself, his face was pale and changing, his eyes looked at Gao Changle in confusion, and he was sure that Gao Changle was not angry, so he frowned slightly and said, "Changle, my father has the difficulty of my father." β
It is rare for their father and daughter to untie the knot and reconcile as before, Emperor Jiayuan doesn't want to have a misunderstanding with Gao Changle again, but a lot of truths are explained to Gao Changle, and she will not understand it at her age.
Who's ...... I directly wish my father a happy son?!?!
"I understand."
Gao Changle took Emperor Jiayuan's words without thinking about it, and nodded solemnly, which made Emperor Jiayuan very surprised.
She really understands.
In the previous life, Gao Changle didn't understand why Emperor Jiayuan clearly said that he had a deep love for his mother, but after the death of his mother, he couldn't see the slightest sadness, and he still went in and out of the court and the harem every day.
But later, when Gao Changle was regent and took power, she realized that Emperor Jiayuan was really not easy.
As an emperor, he can't easily expose his feelings and thoughts in front of others, he can't be guessed by others casually, he can't laugh unscrupulously when he's happy, and he can't shed a tear in front of people when he's unhappy.
The former dynasty and the harem are closely linked, in order to balance the court and stabilize the harem, Emperor Jiayuan must pamper the daughters of one family or eunuch family after another.
Gao Changle still remembers that when she was just regent, she ran into walls everywhere, and later she understood the difficulty of Emperor Jiayuan, and learned to use her beauty to circulate among various princes and ministers, sure enough...... Things are much easier to do, and she doesn't like many men at all, such as Ling Yin Chen Yuanjia from the Yongning Hou Mansion, such as Song Lianyi, a bachelor from Wenyuan Pavilion, and ...... Qi Wenyuan, the son of the Duke of Qi.
She doesn't like it, but she can smile and be affectionate in front of them, and this is indeed the case, every time they see Gao Changle smiling like a flower, they will unnaturally close their mouths, no longer do more politics, even if they refute, they will not be so strong, but only Gao Changle understands that when she laughs, her heart is crying, sour, and embarrassed.
"Changle is not blaming his father."
Gao Changle smiled and winked at Emperor Jiayuan, "When anyone is to blame, a table of good wine and good food will be prepared." β
Gao Changle saw it, Emperor Jiayuan is pampered, as long as Emperor Jiayuan remembers her mother in his heart, and he really loves their sister and brother, it is enough, as the emperor and princess, enjoying the gold and jade that ordinary people can't ask for in their lives, brocade clothes and food, then they should bear some things that ordinary people don't have to bear.
Heaven is fair and treats everyone as it is.
"Father Shengming, I really can't hide anything from my father, the reason why Changle asked my father to come over and prepared these is that there is really one thing I want to ask my father to help!"
