Chapter 58: The Concubine Returns to the Palace
Although Murong Jue's movements were gentle, the man's body was thicker than the woman's, and it was inevitable that he would touch the things on the table, and he accidentally touched Su Yang's pen, and immediately stained the prescription she had originally written.
"Ruo'er! didn't this palace say it...... Ah, Your Majesty!"
Su Yang saw that the recipe he had worked so hard to write was ruined all of a sudden, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he looked up and saw Murong Jue's face, he hurriedly got up and saluted, but was helped up by Murong Jue.
"What? I messed up your recipe?"
"No, no, it's the concubine herself. ”
Seeing that the person who came was Murong Jue, where did Su Yang dare to blame him, and hurriedly took the blame on himself.
"Now that the first snow is falling, the days are getting colder and colder day by day, you wear so little to sit in the wind, I am afraid that it will hurt the wind and cold, and at the family banquet at that time, I am still waiting for you to stroke the qin, you can't get sick at this time. ”
Although Murong Jue didn't want to admit it, there was still a bit of tenderness in his tone, and for a while, Su Yang also forgot his proportions, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Is the emperor's concubine only three years old, and there is a charcoal fire burning in the house, so it's not cold......"
"What did you say?"
When Murong decided to hear this, he somehow remembered that in the past, that woman seemed to be the same, and she always couldn't remember to wear more clothes in winter, so she often missed the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet due to the wind and cold.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "You say it again?"
"Minister, the concubine said, thank you for the emperor's care, the concubine will pay attention. ”
Su Yang only remembered at this time that it was no longer the time for her and Murong to sympathize with each other, and she was not the same Su Yang now, but was alive as Ye Wanying, so she hurriedly changed her words.
"Hmph. ”
Murong was silent, picked up the recipe written by Su Yang, and carefully browsed it, most of them were Wen Bu's recipes, which should have been specially prepared because of the weakness of his biological mother.
"Is it a loss of royal dignity for the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet?"
"Back to the emperor, the concubines thought that it was winter, and it was time to take care of their health, and most of the ministers in the court who were close to the emperor were old. ”
Su Yang originally just planned to use this medicinal banquet to curry favor with Concubine Zhen, and by the way, to please Murong Jue, but she didn't expect this, but now that Murong Jue asked, she couldn't answer truthfully, so she made up a reason.
Murong Jue would believe her nonsense, and poured a basin of cold water on her with a cold snort: "Your mouth is neat, you can think of a reason so quickly, the matter of Concubine Zhen's return to the palace is not a foregone conclusion, you are in such a hurry to prepare, it is inevitable that you are in such a hurry." ”
Hearing Murong Jue's words, Su Yang couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart, she wasted so much time preparing these thoughts in vain, but after all, it was not the last moment, and it was in front of Murong Jue, she couldn't change her mind temporarily, so she said: "Even if Concubine Zhen can't return to the palace, the concubine will also use medicinal food as the main dish of this year's family banquet." ”
"Why?"
Murong Jue was immediately interested when he heard this, he had already told this woman that it was not a certain number whether Concubine Zhen could come back, she still wanted to do this, he wanted to hear it, what reason was there this time.
"The concubine said that the reason for re-using the medicinal diet this time is to let the old ministers experience the blessing of the Son of Heaven, and they will not easily change their minds over there, plus the weather is getting cold now, and it is even more cold on Chinese New Year's Eve, with the body of the Queen Mother and the old ministers, they can still take care of them with such medicinal food. ”
Su Yang's statement was simply seamless and impeccable, even if Murong Jue heard it, he couldn't find a mistake, so he could only chuckle and say: "You girl can speak well, and the dishes of that family banquet will be left to you to choose." ”
Su Yang was overjoyed when she heard this, now she has to be busy preparing the dishes, so there is no need to continue to prepare for the family banquet, but then Murong Decisive gave her a blow to the head.
"However, you still have to prepare the music at the family dinner, and you must not make mistakes. ”
"Ah...... The concubine understood......"
Hearing this, Su Yang's mood instantly shriveled again, Murong Jue looked at her cowardly appearance, couldn't help but smile secretly, the previous worries were also swept away, and he wanted to come to the imperial study There were still folds waiting for him to review, so he didn't have the same knowledge as Su Yang here, and got up and prepared to leave.
"I still have something to deal with, so you can prepare first. ”
"Yes, the concubine sends the emperor. ”
Seeing Murong Jue leave, Su Yang was relieved, and Ruo'er also waited for Murong Jue to go out before daring to come in with tea.
"Ruo'er, why don't you tell Hongu!"
"Niangniang, yes, Ruo'er doesn't dare...... The emperor won't let Ruo'er tell you!"
Ruo'er looked at Su Yang's bitter gourd face, and suddenly didn't know how to defend herself, so she had to reply with a pout.
"If the emperor doesn't let you say it, you won't say it? You little girl is really ...... Forget it, help Hongu beat his shoulder, I'm so tired of writing for so long. ”
Su Yang wanted to have a seizure, but thinking that Ruo'er was just a little palace maid, she didn't dare to make a mistake in the face of Murong Jue, so she simply let her go and asked her to beat her shoulder for herself, which would be regarded as punishment.
"Yes!" Ruo'er saw that Su Yang meant to let herself go, and stepped forward with a smile to pinch her shoulder, and said: "Niangniang, the slave and maid see that the emperor is very attentive to you!"
"Oh, really, why is he interested in Hongu?"
As soon as Ruo'er said this, Su Yang couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes, Murong Jue's relationship with her was so stiff, where did Ruo'er see that Murong Jue was interested in her.
"Fang Cai Niang Niang sat in the tuyere, her body was thin, the emperor personally came in to close the window for you, and put on a big coat for you, this is not what is the heart? Niangniang, you, you are really blessed!"
Ruo'er said, thinking that she could serve such a favored master, and her heart became proud.
Su Yang listened, reached out and touched the big piece on his body, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but then remembered the cause of death in his previous life, and his heart that had just warmed up was cold again.
"By the way, the emperor just said that the concubine's return to the palace has not yet been decided, why is this?"
Only then did she remember that Murong Jue seemed to have mentioned the issue of Concubine Zhen's return to the palace just now, and asked casually in order to alleviate the embarrassment.
"This matter was just passed down by Lord Tuoba this morning, saying that the old ministers of the court felt that Concubine Zhen was from a humble background, and the first emperor personally decreed that she was not allowed to return to the palace, so he did not let the emperor take the concubine back to the palace. ”
As soon as Ruo'er's words fell, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in.
"Niangniang, Aunt Hanlian next to the Queen Mother came, saying that the Queen Mother was invited. ”
