064 Living Up to the Glory (4)
The father-in-law whispered outside, "Your Majesty." ”
I slept lightly, and when I heard the sound, I rubbed my eyes and got up and sat up. In the early morning, there was no candlelight in the room, only a few gray rays of light that came in through the screen window.
Turning his face to see that Luo Xi was still asleep, he hesitated, but still pushed him, "Your Majesty, it's almost the fourth watch." ”
He closed his eyes tightly, let out a deep "um", turned over and squinted for a long time, I put on my clothes, observed him, and found it very funny, the emperor is like him, he will lie in bed in the morning, and I don't know how the father-in-laws who serve him tell him to get up on weekdays.
Seeing that he didn't move, I dragged him again, and said with a smile and threatened: "Your Majesty, can you still go to the early dynasty today?" ”
Luo Xi frowned, woke up suddenly, stared, and hurriedly asked, "But the wrong time?" ”
I looked at his panicked appearance, covered my mouth and smiled, shook my head, and got out of bed to light the light, "Your Majesty is relieved, not yet, but if Your Majesty can't afford it again, I don't know." ”
As he spoke, he helped him get his clothes again, and wanted to serve him to get dressed quickly, but he just stared at me, in a trance, I hugged the robe, and said with a smile: "What is Your Majesty looking at me like this," and put it on him, "I look at Your Majesty, I am really not afraid of catching a cold." ”
He suddenly grabbed my hand, dragged me into his arms, hugged me tightly, and refused to relax at all, "Miao Miao, this is really good, I like this very much, you won't resist, I don't need to force it," and said, "Xianyun is clever, the flying star spreads hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world. ”
My heart was sour and guilty, and I turned around and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "When did Your Majesty have affection for me?" ”
Luo Xi looked at me with a smile, "You really want to know?" ”
My earlobes were a little hot for a while, I lowered my head and gently poked him, "Don't get up yet, it's really late, my father-in-law is waiting outside!" ”
He burst into a smile, raised his eyebrows, and pushed me back to the bed, "Why do you need to serve me?" Let's sleep a little longer! ”
Even though I had long since lost my sleepiness, I still lay down with him, and after a kiss on my forehead, I would put on my robe and open the door, and my father-in-law immediately came in and waited for him to leave.
After lying quietly for a long time, I saw that the silver and white dawn gradually showed crimson, and the morning glow reflected in through the window screen, so I called Qiu Si and Dong Xue to come in, waited for washing, and had breakfast.
I specially chose the brightest place in the room, and then asked Qiu Si to move the wooden chair, and sat down slowly, a breeze swept lightly, and the faint fragrance and cool silk rubbed my face, tilting and blowing to the feet, and gently raising my skirt on the ground.
Dongxue didn't feel at ease, so she came over and helped me add a coat.
I looked at Dongxue with a sideways smile, "Where are you so afraid of the cold?" ”
Dong Xue smiled sweetly, "It's better to add one more piece to make people feel at ease." ”
I nodded, my eyes fell on the brocade in my hand again, I had not been in good spirits before, but now I was Yiyi, I wanted to make a dress for the child in my womb, but I hesitated and couldn't decide.
Dong Xue asked on the side: "Why didn't the second lady delay getting into the needlework?" ”
I lowered my eyebrows and said proudly: "I'm afraid that this first stitch will not be good, the clothes will not be beautiful, and the child will be uncomfortable when he arrives." ”
Dong Xue said with a smile: "Although the slave maid has never seen the craftsmanship of the second miss, it must be good to think about it, the second miss is the mother of the little prince who has not yet been born, and it is naturally the best to do it for him with her own hands, the second miss does not restrict anything, and she can do it with confidence." ”
I thought about it for a while, and asked with a smile: "Why does it have to be the little prince?" What if it's a little princess? ”
Dongxue showed a sad face, "It's the slave who owes her thoughts." ”
I scratched my scalp with a needle, straightened the ring, and said with a smile: "I heard the plum blossoms and the wind, and the snowdrifts were all over the four mountains. Plum blossoms are not afraid of the cold, smiling to welcome the morning breeze, it just so happens that His Majesty also likes plum blossoms, why not use it as a hidden meaning. ”
Dong Xue said: "The second lady said it so well, it must be good-looking when you think about it." ”
I settled down, I hadn't done needlework for a long time, and I didn't know how unfamiliar the technique was. The light pink brocade is made of two vests made of gold thread, the top is embroidered with snow tire plum bones and the red silk pattern of the three friends of the year, the water-colored ripple dark flower brocade makes a small gown, the bamboo leaves wear the jade concubine thin sheer gauze material to make the summer robe, the vertical cloud brocade makes a pair of sleeves, the left and right sides are embroidered with a small plum, the silk Shu brocade satin has changed out two waist seals of different lengths, and the side is secretly hooked with the shape of the plum blossom.
While doing it, I thought about what it would be like for him or her to wear this dress after coming to the world.
The sunlight piercing the clouds fell on the fabric I held in my hands, like golden threads, crisscrossing perfectly and sewing various colors and patterns into each other.
The red sandalwood in bloom in the porcelain vase on the shelf, exuding bursts of fragrance, permeating the April, the squeamish is offered in the bottle to take care of, at a glance, it can make all the emptiness between heaven and earth full.
I have been doing these clothes for a long time, and when I do it in one step, I will pick it up and look left and right to see if the stitches are fine enough, but I am afraid that a rough and sparse thread will hurt the child's delicate skin.
I am a person who experienced a shortage of food and clothing in my childhood, and I know the sourness and sadness of it, so now, I must give the best to my children.
Buried in the head until the evening, when the lights were made, Dongxue, Qiusi and Luo Xi were all overjoyed. Luo Xi held the clothes and looked deeply, his fingertips stroking back and forth on the pattern, "This dress is extremely well done." ”
Qiu Si smiled and said, "The second young lady's craftsmanship is so good, I think it's too early to do it." ”
I smiled with Yan and said, "Prepare early, maybe you can do more in the future!" ”
Luo Xi raised his face and stared at me softly, "In short, don't be tired of yourself." ”
I yawned and smiled, "When you say that, I'm really sleepy." ”
Qiu Si and Dong Xue straightened their clothes, carefully placed them at the head of the bed, and retreated.
I washed up early and went to bed tired, Luo Xi watched me lie down, and said lightly to me: "There are a lot of things going on today, if you are sleepy, go to bed first, I will make a mark on the case next to me." ”
I nodded, and after a cup of tea, I saw Luo Xi busy by the faint candlelight, but I couldn't sleep, and a thought flashed in my heart for a moment.
I asked Luo Xi in a loud voice, "I have something I want to ask Your Majesty." ”
Luo Xi didn't raise his head, still looking at the fold, "Ask." ”
"The horse's hooves of the first emperor were made by His Majesty, right?"
His hand, which was dipping Danmo, paused slightly, and soon returned to normal, and he shyly brushed the brush on the inkstone, annotating and saying, "Why do you ask that?" ”
I crowed my eyes and said, "You know, how could a horse like Chaoguang lose his front hooves because he was old?" I felt strange when my father-in-law said that day, after entering the palace, no matter how stupid I was, I could see that His Majesty had already planned. ”
Luo Xi said: "You are more than smart, but you are still not meticulous enough, if I want to do my tricks, how can I do it so obviously, and let you doubt my head?" ”
I tugged at the quilt and said, "What does that mean...... Not Your Majesty? Who's that? ”
Luo Xi said in a deep voice: "Miao Miao, I don't want you to know this. ”
I said, "This is a mystery in my heart, if you don't tell me, I will keep thinking about it, it hurts." ”
Luo Xi stopped writing, silently came out of his mind, sighed, walked to my side, and said in a low voice: "I was also very strange at that time, so I asked people to investigate, at first I was very suspicious of Prince Ning, and then I found out the result after successfully ascending the throne." ”
I was curious and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Luo Xi didn't speak, and after a while, he said two words: "Your father." ”
I couldn't believe it, frowned and said, "Master? Then he asked, "Why?" ”
Luo Xi said: "Because of you." ”
I said suspiciously, "Me? ”
Luo Xi sighed and said: "Because you look too much like Concubine Dong, at that time, my father asked you to stay in the temple to cultivate your self-cultivation, not for anything else, but to find an opportunity to secretly ask you to enter the palace as a 'Ji girl' in the future." ”
My head thumped, and my body trembled slightly.
Ji, pick up, say to meet the gentleman and not the couple.
Ji is a ninth-rated, through trading.
Who doesn't know, whether it is the concubine of the folk family or the concubine of the emperor in the palace, once a woman becomes, she is no longer a person.
When I thought of my mother, my eyes were full of sorrow, not to mention that my mother was still a favorite concubine when it was still so visible, if I really became the first emperor's concubine, I dare not imagine how miserable the end would be, because no matter how you look at it, I am just a stand-in for the first emperor.
I couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
I thought to myself, "Where does the master come from?" ”
Luo Xi said: "My father once mentioned this matter to your father intentionally or unintentionally, and I only knew the inside story when I questioned him, and I didn't hide it from you. ”
I said, "So, you just belittled the master and suppressed the master's manipulation?" ”
Luo Xi said: "Fortunately, this matter has not leaked much. ”
I sighed, "Is this just for me, master?" ”
Luo Xi said: "Your father is both for himself and for you, after all, you are his blood and blood," looked at me, and said, "The first emperor killed two birds with one stone, first, to suppress your father's arrogance, to destroy his mind, and second, to satisfy himself." ”
I looked at Luo Xi and asked carefully, "This matter...... Is there anyone else who knows about it but His Majesty? ”
Luo Xi replied: "Your eldest sister and Prince Ning should know. ”
I was puzzled, "My eldest sister? ”
Luo Xi said: "At that time, when the people I sent out to investigate to the end, they found that there was another wave of people who were also investigating, and I thought it was Prince Ning. Therefore, reasoning and deciding is definitely not what he did. ”
I said, "But that's just His Majesty's speculation, right?" Otherwise, His Majesty would not just not let them enter the palace, and he would not stop this trend for a long time. ”
Luo Xi nodded lightly and said: "Yes, I have not been completely sure, until later your eldest sister came to ask me to fulfill her wish, according to the truth, begged me to spare Prince Ning's life, I saw that she was crazy, so I decided to fulfill her." ”
I frowned slightly, and said to Luo Xi, "I see," shook his head, "She should be willing." ”
Luo Xi replied in a deep voice: "Yes." ”
I smiled, "That's true." "I never thought that there were so many ulteriors hidden behind all the things, and everything seemed to become clear and reasonable all at once.
He glanced down at me, and said, "It's a good thing," and tapped my nose with his fingertips, persuading, "You don't have to think about it anymore, the imperial doctor has instructed you, only with a pure heart and few desires, can you sit back and relax." ”
I stared at Luo Xi, the crystal tears rolled down my cheeks like pearls with broken threads, and my heart was like drinking five-flavored vinegar.
A thought suddenly popped up uncontrollably in my mind: people only have a lifetime, and in fact, there may not be any need to be too demanding.
When the second watch sounded, Luo Xi helped me pull the quilt, leaned on the side of the bed and patted me on the shoulder, and sang: "The clouds and temples are new green, and the xia clothes are red." Wait for the song to stand in the green feast. What's the matter with a colorful cloud, down to Wu Peak. Take advantage of the Luan Feijing and turn around to Yan Yangkong. Don't turn the red sleeves over the curtains. I am afraid of being led by Yang Hua's sentence and marrying Dongfeng. ”
I smiled and listened carefully, and a beautiful scene slowly appeared in front of me: the beautiful singer combed her black sideburns neatly, and the color of her clothes was bright like the color of the sun rising. Her singing voice burst out of her throat to the beat, like a bird singing in the mirror. Her dancing is light and graceful, like the lightness and crispness of a swallow when it suddenly flies into the air. Kasumi flutters with the dance. Viewers can't help but worry – don't let the red sleeves go through the window. The spring light outside is just right, the catkins are gentle, don't let her be attracted by the poplar flowers, leave here and go with the spring breeze!
