Chapter 56: Concubine Room (2)
Ning Fu knew that she was duplicitous, and said deliberately: "Since the princess doesn't believe it, when Her Royal Highness comes over in the evening, you can ask in person, Your Highness will always favor you, and you won't be afraid of being annoyed no matter how you ask." ”
Lan Yi pushed her, "Go, go, don't stay in front of me, you know that you are laughing at me, knowing that I vented casually, but I refuse to follow me, you go and be a maid for others." ”
The master and servant are frolicking, there is no dignity at all, but it is really very relaxed, in the summer now, there is still a place of peace of mind, Lan Yi is happy, and suddenly feels that if there are not so many things in this house, there are people to eat, drink and accompany them, how comfortable it should be.
Of course, other concubines also have the right to live, Lan Yi has what she yearns for, but she will never fold the life pursued by others, hiding from the laziness of the afternoon, knowing that Wei Changjue, who always needs to meet at night, and talk about it, specially instructed the kitchen to make some exquisite side dishes, and when people came over, she came up to help take off her coat and change clothes, and also served tea and water, much more attentive than usual.
Wei Changjue was very useful, sat on the stool, and looked at her with a smile, "Are you in a good mood today?" Why was he so good to me all of a sudden. ”
Lan Yi gave him a hot dish with chopsticks, and said angrily: "Didn't I treat you badly before?" No wonder His Royal Highness likes Miss Tong by his side recently, it seems that people are more considerate than me, and better than me to His Highness. ”
"Why is it to follow me, I want to talk to you well, every time she comes to the study, she can't stand for a moment, she just says two words and leaves, not to mention the study is heavy, I won't let her stay long."
Lan Yi smiled, in this smile, there was her carefulness and obedience, "That's it, I'm a little confused, does His Royal Highness love Miss Tong, or does he not have this person in his heart?" If you want to say that you like it, will there be those words coming out, if you want to say that there is no such person in your heart, Your Highness can say that it is a study, and the women don't want to go, and someone will stop her directly, and there will not be so many things after that. ”
Wei Changjue said: "You are sure that I will explain everything clearly to you, so I can say everything straightforwardly, and I am not afraid that I think you have a lot of eyes." ”
Lan Yi was straightforward, "Changjue, take a look at this family, from the mother-in-law in charge to the concubines, which one doesn't have backers and accumulation, just this one sent by the Internal Affairs Office, I can't send it at will, if there is no dim sum eye, I can't be eaten by them to the bones." Now you are staring at the inventory from time to time, and I haven't taken care of it yet, so you know it's not easy here. ”
Wei Changjue laughed and glared at her deliberately, "I just said a few words, and you just chattered about such a big article, Lan Yi, don't you just love and spoil you with me, lose your sense of proportion." ”
Lan Yi knew that he was joking, tired of it, grabbed his arm, and shook it, "I know that you are different from my father, you grew up in the harem, and you know that the fight between this woman is also extraordinary, so I dare to say anything in front of you, you can't dislike it, otherwise, you won't find a princess like me who can help you deal with all kinds of troubles." ”
Wei Changjue was shaken by her like this, his heart softened, and he said repeatedly: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you only say these things in front of me, and it's all the truth, of course I'm happy, I don't have a good idea about this Tong girl, so I let you know, I want to see what you will do, but you come to ask me directly, then I might as well tell you what I think." ”
He held the chopsticks, but his expression was very serious, "Now the positions of the concubine and the concubine in the palace are hanging, and no one is eyeing it now, because we have only been married for a long time, and in two or three months, or even shorter, someone should think about it." But I don't really want women to come to the family again, if you refuse, let the outside spread that I spoil you alone, then I'm afraid that others will not say how ridiculous I am, but will only say that you don't have the heart to tolerate people, I think, it's better to give them some ways to please me, so that you don't have a reputation for jealousy, and they won't jump off the wall in a hurry, it's good. ”
"It's fake that you're unhappy when you do this for me, but ......" Lan Yi pursed her lips and asked, "But I also want to know, are you refusing other women just because those women came to you with a purpose?" If the queen chooses a pure-minded girl to send over, if you don't want it? ”
Wei Changjue slowly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Do you want to listen to the truth?" ”
"Yes." Lan Yi looked at him very firmly.
Wei Changjue exhaled and said seriously: "Answer your first question first, I reject other women, if I want to coax you, I will naturally say that it is all because of you that I don't want them, but I think you must not believe it, after all, how long have we lived, if I talk to death, you will only call me hypocritical." ”
Lan Yi smiled, "You really know me, compared to those good words that coax people, I would rather listen to the truth that is not pleasing to the ear, you continue to speak, I will not interrupt." ”
"So, with you, other women are dispensable, that's one reason, but not all. They each have their own goals, only you will accompany me wholeheartedly, of course I will accompany you like this, so what's the use of asking them? As for what you say, if the woman you picked has no purpose...... To be honest, once the queen mother opens an opening, there will be countless people who will follow me and stuff people here, and what I have to do is to block the opening, so that no one can get up this head. ”
In an environment surrounded by wolves, it would have been unwise to ask for a relationship of only one scoop of weak water for 3,000, Lan Yi did not bother that she was not the only one for Wei Changjue for the time being, and after thinking for a while, she said worriedly: "But there are so many people looking for your handle, you are refusing everywhere, maybe one day you will push your father, and they will press the hat of a disobedient elder, wouldn't it be worse." ”
Wei Changjue smiled and said, "But in this matter, only I can resist the front." ”
Lan Yi didn't speak for a while, in fact, she wanted to speak, she could resist it, as long as she was jealous and famous, and others couldn't stuff people into the palace, they would rely on her, so Wei Changjue would be afraid of rumors at most.
After all, fear of guilt is not a sin, compared to disobedience to elders, this matter is much smaller, and there will even be some literati and writers who sing this practice as infatuation.
But Lan Yi hopes for peace, she is used to not directing all the attention to herself, helping Wei Chang Jue resist, she does not have the impulse and courage for the time being.
Wei Changjue saw that she didn't speak, so he smiled gently and comforted: "This matter is not complicated, you don't have to worry about it anymore, you just need to take care of the concubines in the family, so that even if they show up in front of me, they will have a degree, it is enough." ”
"Even if you don't say it, I will be optimistic about them, don't worry." Lan Yi answered in a low voice, silently bowing his head to eat. Somehow, they didn't speak again after that, only asked about the sound of the dishes and chopsticks cumping.
It wasn't until she finished eating that Lan Yi figured it out, feeling that things hadn't come to her door yet, and she shouldn't think about it so much, and it was important to eat, drink and sleep happily at the moment, so she leaned over with a smile and asked with concern: "What are you doing in the study these days?" Tired or not? Whatever you want to eat, I also learn to do it, I can't always ask Miss Tong to please you, I have to do something to please you. ”
Wei Changjue glanced at her, "Before, you said that you learned Dinghu Shangsu, and you want to make it for me to eat, but you tossed in the kitchen for two hours, and nothing came out. ”
"You laugh at me." Lan was full of spirit, when she was a girl, she found that she was not slow to accept the female red, and she would not forget it when she saw it, but once she stood in the back kitchen, she didn't know where to start, she was interested in learning to cook last time, and she really wanted to do it, but when she passed, she found that her mind was empty, and she forgot any steps.
Wei Changjue spread his hands, with a smile in his eyes, "I didn't laugh at you, I'm afraid that you will be like this next time, I can't eat food, it's a small matter, you are angry with yourself, isn't it a big deal?" I can't even help you out. ”
Lan Yi rubbed his face and pulled him, now she has also learned this trick, when the husband and wife get along in private, they often make, "It's hard to cook, you haven't done it so you don't know, if you really go over, I'm afraid you won't even be able to burn the stove." ”
Wei Changjue didn't believe it, "There's nothing I can't do badly, I just haven't eaten after dinner, why don't we go to the kitchen for a walk?" If I can make a dish, you'll eat it for supper. ”
Lan Yi was full of truth, what "gentleman cooks far away", what "how can the prince cook in person", but she couldn't speak, a voice in her heart told her that she wanted to see what Wei Changjue looked like with a spatula, and this His Royal Highness King Gong was obviously a person who did what he said, and at the moment when Lan Yi hesitated, he had already picked up the person and led him to the kitchen.
The fire in the kitchen has been extinguished now, and there are only sparks together, and it is easy to make a fire, but after the fire is up, Wei Changjue and Lan Yi glared at each other for a while, and then he asked, "At the beginning, what should I put in the pot?" ”
The two of them tossed and turned in for half an hour, and the food was gone, but the kitchen was also a mess.
In the end, when Wei Changjue squatted on the stove to add firewood, he held a pu fan in his hand, and the ghost made the gods fan so hard, only to raise the ashes, and the fire was so strong that it went straight out, and the two of them were afraid of running away from the water, so they hurriedly went out and called people to come in to see how to make the fire smaller, but the dishes in the pot were forgotten there, and when the people came in, the overly prosperous flames had burned all those things.
The mother-in-law in charge of the kitchen couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, she endured it desperately, and personally explained how to control the fire and how to stir-fry the dishes, and said: "Your Royal Highness and the princess are expensive people, just want to cook by themselves, and they also call the slaves and maids to guard the handle. ”
