Chapter 14: Meeting the Holy One
Because of the arrival of An Guiren and the will of the Long Live Lord, Wei Lianghong did not dare to slack off even if he was unwilling, and he met Su Yi's requirements one by one, so it didn't take long for a few tea and fruit snacks to be placed in the imperial garden.
The emperor ate the dragon's heart, and immediately summoned Su Yi for reward, and Su Yi received the decree and followed the summoned eunuch all the way to the imperial garden.
The scenery in the imperial garden is beautiful, pines, cypresses, phosphorite, flowers and lakes are dotted among them, Su Yi entered the imperial garden for the first time, although he wanted to enjoy the scenery, but he did not dare to overstep, and only followed the little eunuch who led the way step by step. Thinking of seeing the Supreme Emperor of the Ninety-Five Dynasty soon, there was a ripple in her heart, her father had mentioned to her many times when she was in the current saint that he was wise and martial, wise and generous, and she admired it in her heart, but since her father's death, that admiration has disappeared, she doesn't hate, but she no longer has that kind of admiration.
The little eunuch stopped in front of a rockery, the rockery is very high, it looks unique in the imperial garden, only to see a rock cave in front of the rockery, the rock gate is the "pile show" with Manchu and Han texts, there is a stone carving dragon on each pair of lion stone pedestals on both sides of the mountain, the mouth is spitting water, the little eunuch leads Su Yi into the cave and climbs up the stone steps along the winding stone steps, Su Yi slowly steps up the stone steps, only to feel that the heartbeat begins to speed up with the pace, she doesn't know whether it is because of the ladder, or because she will soon face the saint. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the palace clothes on his body seemed to be soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin, which looked extremely uncomfortable.
The little eunuch in front made a big salute and said: "The slave respectfully invites the emperor to be Sheng'an, long live the lord, and the palace maid who makes snacks will bring it." ”
Su Yi was very nervous in her heart, and she also knelt on the ground, leaned over and said: "The slave asks the emperor for peace, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
I only heard a majestic and calm voice from above my head, "You made these snacks?" ”
Su Yi replied respectfully, "If you go back to the words of the Long Live Lord, yes." ”
"Get up and talk!"
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Su Yi stood up slowly, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of an indigo purse hanging down, and couldn't help but be shocked, and her palms were slightly sweaty, but she didn't dare to look at the person.
Gu Yanzhao had already seen Su Yi, and he knew that Su Yi had done it since a few dim sum were presented, and when he heard that the emperor was going to summon Su Yi, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but also with a hint of bitterness. Lord Shen passed away, Su Yiding was very sad, he had gone to the imperial dining room to see her quietly, at that time she was still in a coma, the whole person lay there quietly, sleeping haggard. Just now she followed the leading eunuch all the way, Gu Yanzhao had already seen it from afar, the beauty had not arrived, but the familiar smell on her body could not be covered by no matter how many flowers and plants in the imperial garden. But seeing that she was thin, with a pointed chin, and looked very haggard, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and my eyes looked straight at her, and the tenderness and pity in it were revealed.
"This dim sum tastes very good, and the name is cleverly chosen, what is this 'one willow and one peach' made of?" The Emperor asked, pointing to a plate of verdant vermilion pastries.
Su Yi listened to the emperor's voice with a smile that was about to come out, and her nervous heart calmed down a little, and replied, "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, this willow refers to mung beans, this peach is red beans, the weather is hot now, and mung beans have the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, red beans are sweet, and the two will not be tasteless and tasteless, and have the effect of maintaining health and consolidating the foundation." ”
The emperor laughed out loud, his voice was strong, and he said loudly: "Then what is this 'drunk snow dyeing red plum' made of?" Not only is it cold and delicious, but it also has a milky aroma, which makes me feel hot and hearty. ”
Su Yi said, "Back to Long Live Lord, the slave is steamed with rose jam and fresh milk, and then chilled with ice cubes, which looks crystal clear and transparent, and the food is as cool as ice." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The emperor pinched another piece of crystal clear drunken snow dyed red plum and put it in his mouth, and praised.
Suddenly, he asked, "What about this 'scented wind covering beauty'?" ”
Su Yi said in a low voice, "Back to the long live lord, this 'scented wind covering beauty' slave is the lotus leaf and orchid grass, the lotus leaf has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, clearing heat and dampness, and has a miraculous effect on the upset chest tightness caused by the heat, the slave first crushed the ice cubes and added the lotus leaf tea cooked in advance, this orchid was added last, and there was a distance from the imperial dining room to the imperial garden, so the long live lord drank tea, but did not see the ice. ”
But I heard the emperor say: "The lotus leaf is five inches of lotus flowers, and sticking to the waves does not hinder the painting of the boat; In April and May, it can also cover the waist of a beauty. This lotus leaf will half-cover the fresh orchid, but it is not to cover the waist of the beauty! After saying that, Wu Zi laughed, and the concubine and brother sitting next to him also laughed.
"It's a girl with a heart." Just listen to a pretty voice ringing out.
Su Yi hung her head, and she didn't see the person's face, but she could hear that person's voice was undoubtedly An Guiren who was in the imperial dining room just now.
"Well, that's good. It seems that you have some talent, what's your name? The Emperor said, bowing his head.
"The minion's surname is Shen, and his name is Suyi." Su Yi replied.
"Look up." The emperor saw that she had lowered her eyebrows and eyes all the time, and looked quite deferential and modest, and he became curious about her in his heart.
Su Yi heard the emperor ask her to raise her head, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to stir again, bit her lip, and slowly raised her head.
I saw the emperor sitting in the center of the top, and there were two charming women sitting on the left side, one was An Guiren, and the other Su Yi didn't recognize it, only to see that the woman's appearance was quite gorgeous, wearing a green lotus cloud pattern clothes, looking beautiful and moving, compared to An Guiren, and there was no pride and domineering, but it looked gentle and graceful, and there were two men sitting on the right side, one was the fifth elder brother, and the other was also dressed in gorgeous clothes, the age was the same as the fifth elder brother, but a calm and solemn color. Su Yi raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, only to see that although his temples were gray, his face was red and radiant, his spirit was strong, he was not angry and self-imposing, and the majestic king's color was displayed on his face, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes were looking at Su Yi carefully, Su Yi was uneasy by him, and immediately lowered his head, but heard the voice of the fifth elder brother suddenly sounded, "Huang Ama, how do you want to reward her?" ”
The emperor was looking at Su Yi carefully, and saw that her appearance was elegant and refined, and her demeanor was quite the temperament of a lady, gentle and humble, and he had a good impression at the moment, and when he heard Hongday's voice, he smiled and said, "Su Yi, Su Yue Jiaojiao, Qiushui Yiren used to describe you very appropriately!" The name is good, the person is also wonderful, it is really a person as his name! ”
Everyone was shocked, Gu Yanzhao only felt that the emperor's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making him spin in an instant, his heart trembled, his eyes looked at Su Yi through everyone, only to see that she was also extremely uneasy, timidly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and immediately lowered her head. Hongtian clenched his fists tightly, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, and he thought about how to stop Emperor Ama if he said that he wanted to accept her as a concubine? In July, the weather is very hot, the cicadas in the trees are noisy, but the Yujing Pavilion is silent, everyone's hearts are turning a thousand times, the emperor's words are like a thunderbolt on a sunny day to make their eardrums buzz, who can feel the mind of the Son of Heaven?
But I heard a mellow voice sound, "Huang Ama said so, but someone is going to be angry!" I look at it in general, where can I compare to An Guiren and Qian Concubine Niangniang beside Huang Ama? ”
Hearing the man's voice, Su Yi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man, this look made her shocked, she couldn't imagine that it would be him. The person who pretended to be the fifth elder brother in the twilight garden that day, and even he was the one who rescued her under the swing last time. It's really a place in life where we don't meet.
An Guiren chuckled and said in a flattering voice: "The fourth elder brother really lifted the palace, where can the palace compare to Sister Qian?" ”
Su Yi sighed in her heart, she never imagined that he would be the fourth elder brother today.
Concubine Qian smiled and said, "My sister is here to make fun of this palace again!" ”
The stiff atmosphere was immediately relieved by the laughter of the two beauties, and the emperor glanced at the two beauties beside him, and a majestic face also smiled, and said, "Say, what reward do you want?" ”
Su Yi immediately knelt on the ground, leaned over and said, "Being able to see the face of heaven is already a blessing that the slave has cultivated for several lifetimes, and the slave does not dare to ask for a reward. If she could, she would have liked that the emperor could let her out of the palace, but now that she has been pushed to the cusp of the storm, how can she say anything when she leaves the palace?
The emperor bowed slightly, and said in his heart that she was a very interesting person.
But I heard An Guiren say: "Your Majesty, Miss Suyi's current identity is a husband, and the emperor might as well make her a blister, and let her be responsible for making tea and snacks for the emperor." Presumably she will be very satisfied, grateful to Dade. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Then according to what the nobles said, Jin you will be a blister!" ”
Su Yi kowtowed and thanked him, "The slave bows to thank the emperor for his grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Suyi, are you back?" Xing'er saw Su Yi walking towards her with a distracted face, and immediately greeted her and shouted happily.
"Hmm." Su Yi answered, and suddenly thought of something, so she asked, "What's the matter with Yulu steaming hibiscus?" ”
Xing'er laughed loudly: "It's the method that I thought of with the fifth elder brother, anyway, your dim sum is good, and no one in the Yulu Steamed Hibiscus Palace will do it, I have eaten what you made before, and the taste is excellent, so I thought of this method." As for what An Guiren said, Lord Zhang's tribute was completely false, it was the fifth elder brother who went to her and asked her for help. ”
Su Yi suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, she felt a little palpitating, and said angrily: "Why didn't you discuss with me in advance, what if the emperor is not satisfied?" This is the crime of bullying the king, you follow the fifth elder brother, and the one next to you has not learned, and your courage is getting bigger and bigger! ”
Xing'er stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I still know your craftsmanship, since I think of this method, it will naturally be foolproof." ”
Su Yi shook her head, speechless.
Banxiang Fang said quietly, "I saw him." ”
Xing'er was shocked: "Gu Yanzhao? ”
Su Yi nodded and sighed: "There are only a few people between us, but it seems that there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and I don't even have the courage to look at him more." Apricots, you know what? I saw him standing behind the emperor in the pavilion, how happy I was, there were so many people in the pavilion, there were a lot of masters and slaves, but I saw him at a glance, he wore the purse I gave him, he must have seen me. ”
Xing'er said, "Well, he must be very happy to see you." He secretly came to see you in the days when you were sick, you don't know how sad he was to see you unconscious, with a look of self-blame and distress, that look made people look at it and moved, he was really affectionate for you. ”
"What did you say?" Su Yi's face was full of surprise.
"I didn't tell you at the time, because I was afraid that you would be upset, your father had just left, and I didn't want you to bother you more. But you must know his intentions. He also said that Jun's heart is like my heart, and he lives up to his love. Apricot told the story.
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a smile bloomed, and the smile was extremely moving, even Xing'er was stunned for a while.
