Xiaomeng felt physically and mentally exhausted when he came back from Cining Palace, and he slept soundly all afternoon, until he opened his eyes, and it was time to hold the lamp.

Xia He waited for her to dress for dinner, while reporting that in the afternoon she had sent someone to Ningshou Palace to clean while Niangniang was asleep, but unfortunately she was beaten back in less than half an hour, and persuaded Niangniang not to care about such idle things in the future, no one knows how to appreciate it, and with the gossip of Tian, she wants to say that Niangniang is hypocritical. In the palace, it is not easy to manage yourself.

At this time, Fulin suddenly broke in, and his elegant figure was a gust of wind. Little Dream's heart began to pound from the moment he came in. Xia He bent down and bowed, Xiaomeng didn't have time to adapt to this kind of life of worshipping at every turn, and was stunned for a while. Fu Lin didn't mind, and instructed Fu Lian'er: "You all go down and prepare to pass the meal, I will have dinner in Chengqian Palace tonight." ”

Fu Lin pulled Concubine Dong E to sit at the table and said, "Concubine Ai, I heard that you went to Cining Palace today to ask for peace, I must have recovered almost completely, I am very happy in my heart." During this time, I was too busy, and there were a lot of things to do in the imperial court. Not only did I personally try Ding Youke Shuntian in Taihemen, but today I also personally interrogated Wu Liangfu's dog slave who took bribes to drill the camp, and Nanming has not yet been cleared up, and there is still a huge shortage of military salaries, all of which have caused me a lot of headaches. In short, I haven't been with you much in the past two months, don't blame the concubine, okay? ”

Xiaomeng looked at Fulin and thought to herself, what kind of boy is this? didn't mention anything about the four princes, if it wasn't for Xiaozhuang mentioning it, she didn't know that Fulin, who had lost her beloved son in the past two months, was so heartbroken, and often cried in the Heart Cultivation Palace. Of course, Xiaomeng knew that Fu Lin was afraid of causing Concubine Dong E's sadness again, he was really considerate of her, and hoped that after two months, the affairs of the four princes would be clear.

Xiaomeng couldn't help but pity the boy in front of her, and she smiled slyly: "How can the concubine blame the emperor?" But the emperor made his concubines wonder, didn't he stipulate that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics? Why do you mention these multi-national events to your concubines in a rambling manner? Don't the concubines listen? ”

Xiaomeng covered her ears, and Fu Lin smiled and untied her hand: "I said that my imperial concubine will always be a special case. Concubine Ai is not only my wife, but also my confidante, if I don't say it to Concubine Ai, who will I say? ”

"Say it to the queen, say it to the concubine, say it to the concubine, mourning concubine, and concubine Zhen, there are more people to talk to the emperor." Xiaomeng shouted, still covering his ears.

"Huh? This sounds a little sour, why is Concubine Ai jealous? Concubine Dong E, who has always been generous and respectful, suddenly said such a thing, which surprised Fulin.

No wonder when he came to see Concubine Dong E in the afternoon, Xia He told him that Niangniang seemed to have changed into another person, and he didn't know anyone around him, and he was still a little worried, so as soon as the matter of arraignment of internal supervisor Wu Liangfu was over, he hurriedly ran to see her. Now, such a change makes Fulin feel very useful. Fu Lin thought, maybe it was a serious illness of Concubine Dong E, the palace of the king of Hades had gone once, and she had broken through the barrier of life and death, and now her spirit was not as nervous as before, but relaxed.

Xiaomeng's face flushed and he put down his hand: "Who is jealous?" Can you be jealous of the Ninety-Five Supreme? Three palaces and six courtyards, so many, to eat, you have to eat such a big jar. Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself? Little Dream gestured.

"However, it seems that Concubine Ai likes to make trouble for herself." Fu Lin joked calmly.

"No, don't look for trouble, this trouble is too big, this vinegar is too much, I'm afraid the emperor can't even count the women he has hurt." Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but gossip, and somehow, Fulin still answered honestly: "Well, I have 15 concubines, but there are a lot of those qualifications, nobles, promises, and always there." In fact, I like to find concubines, nobles, promises, and even palace maids the most, although they are lowly in status, they often look like the moon, much better than those Mongolian concubines of mine. ”

"Actually, the concubines are already very good-looking." Xiao Dreamed of the concubines he saw in Cining Palace in the morning, and said fairly.

"But none of them are as good as you, and I only love Wanru the most."

"Then, from now on, the emperor can only have one Wanru." Du Xiaomeng suddenly blurted out, and even he was stunned in surprise after finishing speaking.

"What? Is the concubine Dong E, who is called me so that the rain and dew in the harem are all gone? Fu Lin laughed evilly, teasing.

Du Xiaomeng waved his hand anxiously and explained desperately: "No, no, the emperor doesn't care what I say now, just what I said before." She was anxious, "Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong, really, don't misunderstand, I, I'm joking, talking about fun, don't take it seriously, what should you do, what else do you do." ”

Fu Lin didn't speak, stared at Xiaomeng and continued to laugh evilly. Xiaomeng was even more devastated, and hurriedly drove him away: "Otherwise, you can go find other concubines now, I don't need you here, I believe that Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ke, Concubine Mourning, whatever the concubine, must be waiting for the emperor." There you go. Come on! ”

Xiaomeng picked up Fulin and walked out, but Fulin grabbed her and grabbed her into his arms: "But tonight, I won't go anywhere, just wait in this Chengqian Palace."

At this time, Xia He came in and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready, please let the emperor and his mother go out for dinner." Xia He peeked at the emperor and Niangniang like this, pursed his lips and snickered, and secretly glanced at Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng knew that Xia He was happy for herself, but she didn't know that Xiaomeng was sitting on pins and needles at this time.

Fulin took her hand and walked outside, "Oh my God", there was a table of sumptuous dishes in front of him, Xiaomeng cheered, and jumped to the table and sat down. I slept all afternoon, I didn't eat lunch, and my stomach was already rumbling.

Fulin looked at her like this, and said with a smile: "Aifei, be hungry, come, this dish is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Tenderness', you can taste it." Fulin personally served her vegetables, and she ate them with chopsticks unceremoniously. Fu Lin smiled and picked up vegetables for her again.

"This is 'Golden Silk Roasted Wheat', this is 'Hibiscus Prawn', this is 'Crispy Roll Buddha', this is 'Bird's Nest Four-character Dish', this is 'Kung Pao Rabbit Meat', this is 'Three Fresh Scallops', this is 'Crane Abalone', this is 'Sandalwood Fan Duck Paw', This is 'Three Silk Hump'......"

"Enough, enough, the emperor won't pick up vegetables for his concubines anymore, how can I eat so much, if I eat them all, I will become a pig." The emperor also eats, eat quickly. Xiaomeng, in turn, served the dishes for Fulin, and he ate happily.

Fu Lin instructed Xia He to pour wine, and said with a smile: "I am very happy today, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know." Xiaomeng ate the prawns and shook his head blankly.

"Because Concubine Ai is willing to dine with me, you never wanted to do this before, for the stability of the harem, Concubine Ai is always so strict and virtuous, suffering herself, in vain I feel distressed, but I am helpless to do anything about you."

Du Xiaomeng is ashamed of herself, Concubine Dong E is indeed a virtuous woman worthy of the love of the Son of Heaven.

"Concubine Ai knows very well that at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there were many wars, the world was undecided, the imperial court's finances were very difficult, and there was still a huge shortage of military salaries. But today, I specially ordered the imperial dining room to be made so sumptuous, just to celebrate the recovery of Concubine Ai's phoenix. Originally, I was afraid that Concubine Ai would scold me for being too extravagant, but I didn't expect Concubine Ai to eat so happily, and I was so happy. Come, have a drink with me. Fulin raised his glass.

Xiao Meng was embarrassed by the words, "Emperor Xie." She lowered her head and raised her glass to the brim. Cough, cough, Xiaomeng suddenly coughed, this wine was so strong, she choked so badly that she even choked out tears.

"Aifei, are you okay? You can't drink so quickly. Fu Lin patted Xiaomeng's back with concern.

Xiaomeng finally calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, frowned and asked, "My God, what kind of wine is this?" It's so unpleasant. ”

"Daughter Red."

"It's too strong, it's too choking, it's still better to drink champagne."

"Champagne? What champagne? ”

"A kind of wine is drunk during the festive time, and it tastes like it, just like ...... the two words "little dream" and "drink" come out, and the emperor doesn't know what it is, so how to describe it, so he has to say nonsense: "Anyway, it's very delicious, and the next time the concubine will personally mix it for the emperor to drink." ”

"Really? Wouldn't that be great? I'll just wait. ”

Fu Lin looked at Xiao Meng's cheeks that were flushed from drinking, and the more she saw it, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke it gently, but Xiao Meng avoided it in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are full, and the emperor doesn't have any chopsticks, so let's eat. Otherwise, the dishes are cold. Xiaomeng stood up to pick up vegetables for Fulin, panicked and angry.

Fulin nodded and silently ate half a bowl. And he said, "I'm also full, so clean up." Aifei, you haven't played chess with me in months, how about we play tonight? ”

Play chess? Xiaomeng blinked, what kind of chess? Go? In ancient times, it was probably Go. Oh no, I don't know much about Go. The movements of spring, summer, autumn and winter are very neat, and when I heard this, I laid out the chessboard earlier than the couch. Xiaomeng saw that it was really Go, hey, I just knew a little about the skin, I don't know how Concubine Dong's chess skills are? Concubine Dong E should be a talented woman who knows both chess, piano, calligraphy and painting.

Fu Lin sat cross-legged on the couch, and so did Xiao Meng. After only two or three rounds, Xiaomeng was defeated. Another game, again. Fu Lin was surprised: "Aifei's chess skills have regressed so much, is it intentional to let me?" In the past, you and I met opponents in chess, and either you lost or lost, and that was called happiness. It's not interesting to let it go. ”

When Xiaomeng heard this, his eyes rolled, and he simply disturbed the whole game of chess pieces, and said: "The concubine has invented a new chess method, called 'checkers', can the emperor dare to play against the concubine?" "Hehe, and borrow the chess pieces of the 21st century to make a prestige.

"Oh, Concubine Ai still has such abilities, bring them quickly." Fu Lin was all interested, and his eyebrows flew like a happy big boy.

Xiaomeng instructed the palace maid to immediately get scissors, cardboard, paste, and fifteen glass beads of six different colors, and she cut and pasted them with the palace lamp. Fulin watched it all with interest. In less than half an hour, Xiaomeng made a hexagonal chessboard. She placed the six-colored glass beads in the six corners of the chessboard, first took out the black and white colors and placed them in the opposite corners of the board, and then began to explain the rules.

"The object of the game is to move all the pieces to the opposite circle according to certain rules. The first team to finish wins. When it is the player's turn, they can only move one piece at a time; You can move by one block, or jump by several blocks. Moving one square means that a piece can move in one of six directions to the adjacent space. A jump is when a piece jumps over the next piece on the same line into a space on the other side. Jumps can be benevolent or malicious. The leaped piece is not removed from the board. The player can jump the piece into the farthest space, but cannot move and jump every time he plays. In addition, the chess player cannot be forced to move the distance of the pieces, it is completely dependent on his own strategy and will. The fastest way to advance is to line up the pieces in a path that allows them to jump continuously, so that the pieces behind them can jump quickly to their destination. For example, jump ...... like this."

Xiaomeng demonstrated with chess pieces. How wise the young son of heaven is, at the age of fourteen, he has already managed state affairs in an orderly manner, and he has already completely understood it when he hears this. He said, "I understand, let's get started." ”

In the first game, Xiaomeng won. Checkers she is too familiar with, too good at it. I think that at the beginning, in school, no one at home could beat her. Xiaomeng laughed happily and danced on the couch. Fu Lin looked at her and smiled, Concubine Dong E really seemed to have changed as a person, she used to be quiet and weak, but now she seems to have become lively and cute. But he liked the same thing.

In the second game, it was Xiaomeng who won. Xiaomeng was a little proud, and the third time Fulin actually won a game. "What, I'm also a checkers master, and I've played invincible players all over the world, why should I let you, a stinky boy who is just starting out, really unreasonable."

"Ah, that's right," Xiaomeng hit his forehead with his hand, and suddenly realized: "Yes, it must be that I am too proud, sure enough, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, next time, I will definitely learn a lesson, and I will not let you succeed again." Xiaomeng muttered to himself, every time he was anxious or proud, he would talk nonsense about 'you' and 'I', completely forgetting the etiquette. She didn't notice at all that at this moment, the handsome emperor was looking at her dumbfounded,——Is this still his Concubine Dong E?"

In the fourth game, Xiao Meng's success was over, and she jumped up happily and clapped her hands. The joy of checkers completely drowned out the doubts in Fu Lin's mind, not to mention, he was happy to see his beloved concubine so healthy and so happy.

Before you know it, it's the dead of night. The eunuch and palace maid couldn't help but quietly fall asleep. Seeing this, Fu Lin waved his hand, and Xia He and the others all quietly retreated and put down the veil of the dormitory. Xiaomeng didn't notice it at all, and was still immersed in the fun of meeting opponents.

After a few more rounds, Xiaomeng couldn't help but admire: "The emperor is really smart, he is so powerful just after learning, I admire and admire him!" ”

Seeing her clenching her fists, Fu Lin was extremely delicate, and the corners of her lips rose: "Concubine Ai, it's already the third watch, and I still have to go to court on the fifth watch, so it's better to go to bed." ”

Xiaomeng is not Concubine Dong E, who has been married twice, she is just an eighteen-year-old girl, innocent, never in love, full of romantic longing and fantasy for love, and Fulin meets all her beautiful imagination of Prince Charming. How can a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love have the strength to reject her feelings?
