One hundred and forty-two: seeds
In the evening, the emperor opened a little late, Yao Chuxi had just packed up and was about to wash, when he heard a sound outside, so he came out with the falling rain.
Luo Xue quickly took a thin jacket out of the house and put it on for his master.
Lifting the curtain, the emperor was walking in, and Luo Yu hurriedly held the curtain and took two steps back, and said with his knees slightly bent, "Greetings to the emperor." ”
The emperor hummed lightly, but his eyes kept paying attention to Yao Chuxi, who was wearing a jacket behind Luoyu.
"You're almost at bed, aren't you? Why did you come out to greet you? The emperor stepped forward and grabbed Yao Chuxi, "Come in, it's cool outside." ”
Yao Chuxi's earrings still have a round jade one left, and the other one has just been taken off.
Sitting in front of the dresser, Yao Chuxi took off the one.
Luoshuang came in with foot-washing water, and half-knelt to wait for the emperor to wash his feet.
"Has the emperor had dinner?" Yao Chuxi asked.
"I used it in the Taihe Temple."
Yao Chuxi didn't speak, and the rain quickly combed her sideburns.
Luoxue brought a cup of warm tea and handed it to the emperor, who leaned on the head of the bed and held the warm tea, quietly looking at the face reflected in the bronze mirror in front of the dresser.
Yao Chuxi's skin foundation is very good, and she can't rub too much cream beads on her face recently because she is pregnant, but she looks much better than those women who wear heavy makeup all day long, and it is much more pleasing to the eyes.
Her hair is also very well-maintained, black and shiny, not frizzy at all from the top of the head to the end of the hair, there is no trace of bending in the sideburns of the whole day, it is very smooth when combing her hair in the rain, and the sandalwood comb is intertwined with the green silk in her hand and pours down, like a waterfall.
The emperor touched his hair, he came with his hair loose today, but it didn't seem to be as smooth as hers.
He caught a glimpse of a jar of things sitting next to the dresser.
"What's that?"
Yao Chuxi tilted slightly and replied, "That's the osmanthus oil used to comb hair." ”
"This thing is for hair, isn't it?"
Yao Chuxi nodded, "Sort of, when you usually use this comb more, it will be much smoother." ”
The emperor took a thoughtful sip of tea.
He was faintly happy in his heart, thinking that his hair was really worse than Yao Chuxi's, and when he heard her say this, he knew that it was the credit of osmanthus oil.
But how to use osmanthus oil to comb a man's hair?
The emperor dismissed the idea of growing his hair, after all, his hair was not so bad.
After rinsing his mouth and cleaning his hands, Yao Chuxi also went to bed.
"It's still raining outside, isn't it?" Yao Chuxi asked.
The emperor nodded.
As the falling rain blew out the candle flame, Yao Chuxi asked again, "It's raining, why are you here?" I caught a cold again. ”
"It's nothing, just to see you."
Listening to the person in front of him telling about missing him so nakedly, Yao Chuxi blushed for a moment.
I just stayed in Yingxue Pavilion for one night, and then the emperor came again, and the few new people who entered the palace had not been summoned, but I was afraid that there would be some gossip in the palace.
Qiu Shanggong originally wanted to use Bai Jingxue to turn over, but he didn't want Bai Jingxue to be in the emperor's eyes, and he made the emperor angry, which really outweighed the loss.
Thinking back to the various things that sent Bai Jingxue to the Taihe Hall that day, Qiu Shanggong couldn't associate Bai Cainu with the word 'stupid' no matter what, no matter how she said it, it was impossible for her to say something unpleasant to the emperor when she was driving.
If she is really useless, Qiu Shanggong thinks that it is about the ambition on the bright side and the self-confidence that matches her appearance.
She is indeed too confident, so confident that she thinks that she can have a foothold in front of the emperor, and she thinks that the emperor is stupid and can't hear two words that sow discord.
Does he care if he hears it or not? Bai Jingxue Quan should have gambled, but she didn't expect to lose completely, and she was directly planted under her self-confidence.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that a favorite concubine who has been favored in the palace for half a year, is still pregnant with a dragon fetus in her belly, and a girl who has just entered the palace and has no power and no background, except for the coquettish and charming, no one dares to arrange the favored person, right?
Bai Jingxue didn't believe in that evil before, and before entering the palace, she heard people around her talk about it, saying that the emperor liked the charming and well-behaved woman the most, thinking that she was really in the eyes of the emperor. But the facts are in front of her, and Bai Jingxue has to believe it if she doesn't believe it.
Since she entered the palace for so long, she has always wanted to have a chance to show her skills, but before she could make a move, she was recognized by the emperor and blocked back.
Bai Jingxue was looking for someone to take Qiu Shanggong's door, thinking about how to say that the two of them also had a relationship, and they should be able to help one or two, but at this time, Qiu Shanggong was too late to avoid her, how could she go forward to meet her?
Qingya was blocked back, and returned to Wanmo Pavilion dejectedly.
"Stupid! Eater! Bai Jingxue glared at Qingya angrily and asked, "Then what did Qiu Shanggong say?" ”
"Qiu Shanggong said..."Qingya was a little scared, "Qiu Shanggong said that there is something busy recently, let the little master, don't disturb her, and said..."
"What a mess!"
Qingya raised her eyes and glanced at her master, and said with a dodge in her eyes, "I also said that I wanted to support you, but now that you have made the emperor angry, she can't help you if she wants to, so you can do it yourself." ”
Bai Jingxue closed her eyes angrily, the green tendons on her neck loomed, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Qiu Shanggong is useless here, I still have Yao Chuxi's road, after all, there is the day when I am favored!" ”
"Little master, are you thinking about letting Yao Meiren support you?" Aomiao asked.
"Of course!" Bai Jingxue smiled and said, "She and I grew up together, the most kind is not to say that the heart is soft, when the emperor's eyeliner retreats, I have the opportunity to go to Yingxue Pavilion, can Yao Chuxi help me then?" ”
But as soon as the words fell, Bai Jingxue suddenly thought of Yao Chuxi's stomach.
If she really gave birth to a prince, even if it was just a princess, then her Yao Chuxi's status could be said to be rising, not something she could compare with overnight.
It rained yesterday, and today the sky seems to have been washed, cloudless and blue.
Yao Chuxi asked someone to send a post to Sanssouci Pavilion and Guishuang Pavilion, and invited Xiao Chongyi and Ju Jieyu to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers.
"Even if my sister doesn't look for us, I want to come!" Xiao Chongyi said while supporting Yao Chuxi, "Recently, I thought that my sister was pregnant, and I didn't dare to call you out!" ”
"Look at what my sister said." Yao Chuxi said embarrassedly: "I love to go out for a walk." ”
The three of them sat together in the pavilion, and after a while, they had a cup of tea.
Xiao Chongyi and Ju Jieyu may have been promoted, and people also followed suit. In the past, Xiao Chongyi didn't dare to raise her head and dare not speak when she was Xiao Meiren, for fear that someone would say something to stumble her, but now she is different, she walks with her head raised and a smile on the corner of her mouth, which is not like before at all.
Ju Jieyu is the same, a woman who was soft and weak before, she only looked like she didn't feel energetic, just like the willow branches, which were useless, but now that she has been promoted, Jieyu seems to be getting better, and her temperament has changed.
The dim sum on the stone table was still steaming, and they carefully brought boiling water when it rained, sat the iron basin in the boiling water, and then put the dim sum plate in the iron basin, so that it would not be cold for a while and a half, and it would not change the taste.
Two plates of green bean dumplings, a plate of steamed cakes, a plate of rose rolls, a plate of peanut cheese and a plate of jujube paste cakes, and a variety of dim sum filled the table.
"Don't look at this dim sum is not made by Mr. Yuan, the emperor has sent a refreshment master to Yingxue Pavilion, and the taste of the dim sum made is not inferior to the dining room at all!" Xiao Chongyi said while eating.
A plate of steamed cakes with three pieces, and it didn't take long for me to see the bottom of it.
The sunny day seemed to be fresh, and the discomfort of the previous few days completely disappeared, and Yao Chuxi only felt relaxed at the moment.
I walked down the stairs among the flowers, and the snow picked a few flowers and wicker leaves and made a small wreath.
"I look like I'm going to be a mother, and I look like a child!" Ju Jieyu and Xiao Chongyi said in the pavilion.
Yao Chuxi's homemade flower tea tastes very good, and even the bubbling heat seems to have a tea fragrance and floral fragrance, which is very different from ordinary tea.
The two enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, eating refreshments and drinking tea, and only felt peaceful and comfortable.
The palace maids in the Sihuafang were all dressed in green palace clothes and stood aside, some holding small shovels in their hands, and some holding flower pots and kettles in their hands, as if they were going to plant something.
"What is this?" Yao Chuxi noticed a few of them.
One of the palace maids was tall and said, "Back to Yao Meiren, this is the seeds of Junzilan, and the slaves and maids were ordered to plant these seeds in flower pots, so that they can be moved away at any time on rainy days." ”
"Junzilan?" Yao Chuxi looked at that kind of seed carefully, "I remember that Junzi Orchid is an elegant and common flower, easy to survive, extremely vigorous, warm as jade, and is a gentleman in flowers." ”
"Yao Meiren is very right, Junzi Orchid is indeed known as a gentleman among flowers, and it blooms all year round, but it generally blooms in spring."
Yao Chuxi nodded thoughtfully, as if he remembered something, "Can you give me two seeds?" ”
"Beauty, what do you want to do like this?" The palace maid was a little puzzled.
"I want to plant a pot of flowers and let the gentleman come out, and when my child is born in the future, whether it is male or female, I want him to be a righteous gentleman."
"It's great that you can think so, beauty!" The palace maid seemed to be the person in charge of the group of palace maids, and walked over with a cloth bag in the shape of a sachet, "These are the seeds of Junzi Orchid, turn around, and ask the palace people to send some more flower pots." ”
"Thank you." Yao Chuxi looked back at Luoyu, and Luoyu also walked over at the right time and handed the palace maid a purse.
At first, the palace maid still shirked and said that she couldn't help it, but Yao Chuxi said again, "This kind of sub-right, when I bought your Sihua room, how can I say it, I also asked for it like you, and it is not good for you to break the bank, right?" Take it and divide it. ”
When he returned to Yingxue Pavilion, the falling snow holding the flower pot startled Han Shanggong.
"What is this?"
Luoxue put down the flower pot and replied with both hands on her waist, "This is the Junzi Orchid seed that the people of the Little Supervisor Huafang Palace wanted, and the palace people also specially gave two pots." ”
