120: Gift-giving
At dinner, the emperor went to Yingxue Pavilion and didn't leave until dinner.
It seems that he is going to rest in Yingxue Pavilion.
Luoshuang went in with the foot-washing water, waited for the emperor and the master to wash the feet, and after washing, he bowed his body and carefully carried away the foot-washing water.
I didn't go inside again.
"How's it going?" The emperor was lying on Yao Chuxi's lap, smelling the fragrance from her, and only felt comfortable, as if his usual troubles were gone at the moment.
"The concubine is very good, I feel that he has grown a little longer, usually Han Shanggong takes care of the concubine very carefully, so he almost takes the rice bowl and feeds it to his mouth."
"Every time I ask you, you just compliment people." The emperor's tone seemed to be blaming, but he reached out and touched her hair, with a look of affection.
"I have already made a holy decree to entitle your father as a five-grade official position, which is not a star and a half higher than before, and you can also move into the capital, and it will be more convenient to meet you when you miss your mother."
"Concubine Xie Emperor." Yao Chuxi thanked him and asked, "Then my father and mother have been busy moving recently?" ”
"Hmm." The emperor picked up the book on the side, opened it casually and looked at it, "I gave you a month, your father is a person who wants to be an official in the court, and he can't be sloppy." ”
"The concubine understands." Yao Chuxi lightly pressed the emperor's shoulder, "Since my father is already an official in the court, he naturally can't take office like when he was at home before, and the concubine now only wants the family to move smoothly this month, and after moving to Beijing, she can live comfortably, and work hard to share the emperor's worries." ”
The emperor took her hand on his shoulder, and gently rubbed it, "It's good that you can rest assured, thinking that the Yao family has lived in Xiezhou for more than ten years, and they will move slowly for a while, so I sent some palace people to help move, and the days will be there in these days, and I will definitely return to Beijing within a month." ”
In fact, Fang's family had already known the emperor's thoughts, and was deliberately left by the emperor to live in Prince Sheng's mansion, and someone rushed to Xiezhou to announce the decree, worried that Fang's would be tired.
"Your Majesty, why are you so good to your concubines?" Yao Chuxi looked at the back of the man's neck in front of him, felt a little in his heart, and gently hugged his back.
The corners of the person in front of him hooked slightly, and he held her hand, "I also gave your father a house, although it is not very big, but it is also a good place to stay, if your father does well in the future, the promotion to the mansion and the courtyard are just around the corner, are you satisfied?" ”
The people behind him didn't make a sound, but the emperor felt a warm piece on his neck, and it was hot.
That's probably the best answer.
The next day, the emperor did not have an early court, so he stayed in Yingxue Pavilion to dine with Yao Chuxi.
In addition to the Fang family, the emperor is the second good recipe to make Yao Chuxi have a good appetite.
Luoyu put a bowl of crucian carp soup and handed it to the emperor, and sandwiched a piece of salty, fragrant and crispy scones, rolled with some shredded meat and bamboo shoots, a few strands of finely chopped cauliflower, two peeled shrimps, and finally scooped a spoonful of meat sauce with a small silver spoon.
Originally, the emperor didn't like this kind of food, but Yao Chuxi liked to eat, and he would have a meal almost every day or two, and the ingredients were simple and convenient, unlike others who had to spend money on a meal.
Only by eating with Yao Chuxi can the emperor really eat happily.
When he had dinner with Gao Shunyi and them before, he was speculated and studied, and he was tempted and asked, and what he liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat seemed to be an eternal topic in the palace. With the change of his tastes, this problem has also become diverse, and it is not that he has not been out of several palaces to make a meal before, and at a glance, he knew that someone had deliberately inquired about it, which made him lose the pleasure of eating.
Yao Chuxi's morning sickness has obviously eased a lot recently, and the last morning sickness was many days ago.
"Recently, there will be a new person in the palace, and I'm afraid I'll have to be busy." The emperor picked up a piece of meat, "You won't be upset, will you?" ”
"No, how could it be." Yao Chuxi felt sour for a moment in his heart: "The concubine is not a jealous person. ”
The emperor swallowed the meat in his mouth, and was sitting opposite Yao Chuxi, but suddenly approached her.
This frightened Yao Chuxi.
"I want you to be jealous, why aren't you jealous?"
This question... Yao Chuxi only felt a headache and helplessness, but the person in front of him who was older than himself was a child who was more childlike than himself.
"The emperor is a dignified son of heaven, and it is the duty of sisters to serve the emperor, how can they be jealous and petty and not let them enter the palace? The concubine won't be like that, and besides, it can't be something that the concubine's words can influence. ”
"No, as long as you say a word, I won't let them enter the palace." The emperor looked at Yao Chuxi's eyes, and what he said made Yao Chuxi only feel numb.
The jealousy in his heart was magnified in an instant, just a little bit, just a little bit, Yao Chuxi would open his mouth and say that he would not let them enter the palace.
But the concubine has the duty of a concubine, and even if she is killed, she must not say it.
She avoided the emperor's gaze, but picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the emperor, "The emperor is not young, why is he becoming more and more childlike?" ”
The next day, I heard that Cai Xuan Shang Palace entered the palace, and arranged the new girls in the palace in a courtyard outside the palace.
In a short time, he will enter the palace to face the saint, and wait for the emperor to choose in person.
The last time Yao Chuxi entered the palace, it was just in time for the queen mother's funeral, so the emperor didn't choose carefully, and only rewarded the name of the talented person with a big wave of his hand, but this time it was different, the state affairs were smooth, and the emperor would not be angry, and there was always that condition to choose it.
Eight girls entered the palace, but they were afraid that they would be selected by the last layer, and there were only a few left.
Many people want to take the door of those who have just entered the palace, they are all picking good conditions, good appearance, good family background, like He Jieyu, who is bent on exploring this outside matter, and even with the gift of Caixuan Shanggong and stuffing money, I want to know which one of the new people in the palace is the easiest to be favored, so I can stammer over and control it under my hand.
Listening to Na Cai Xuan Shanggong, there is a top-notch girl surnamed Bai among the eight beauties, and her appearance and figure are all first-class, but she is not a girl from an official eunuch's family, which is not as good as the others.
The last time I heard Lin Jieyu mention this white girl in the Imperial Garden, then He Jieyu naturally had to ask hard, if the white girl was really favored and easy to control, then wouldn't He Jieyu also rise with the tide?
Wishful thinking anyone can fight, here Lin Jieyu and Xu Jieyu are also quietly planning.
However, Lin Jieyu is more likely, after all, people have Princess Yun by their side, plus a favored concubine, so it will be good not to mention the prosperity of the mix in the future. If there is really someone who wants to enter the palace and climb, the first choice among these people is naturally Lin Jieyu.
In addition to the white girl, Miss Nalai is also a top beauty, the family has a big business, and she has been an official for generations, although she is not a serious official, but her family background is not bad, I heard that this time she sent her daughter into the palace to throw money to pave the way.
There is also a Tian girl, although her family background is not so outstanding, but she is a really talented girl, she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was a child, and she heard that singing is also good, and her figure is good, and men like it when they see it.
Even the emperor didn't know anything about these things, but He Jieyu and the others inquired about it clearly.
In the Taihe Hall here, Duan Kui hurriedly went up the steps, the eunuch outside the hall opened the door to welcome him in, and Pan Zhenan happened to come out of the inner hall with the door closed.
"Master, the little one inquired clearly, then He Jieyu gave all the gifts out of the palace, selected the part of the Shang Palace, and the part of the girl outside, but it was good, I heard that the gifts sent out were all generous."
Pan Zhen paused and snorted coldly, "Seeing that you are not powerful, you want to use the new palace to enter the palace?" It's a shame that she came up with it! ”
"So what's the solution? If the emperor doesn't know about this, we can't take care of it, right? ”
"Can you teach me?" Pan Zhenan turned his head and entered the inner hall.
The emperor also knew the thoughts of He Jieyu and others, and before Pan Zhen'an could say in detail, he summoned the two people who selected Shanggong, and asked for a long time, and they were all masters who knew that they could not bully the monarch, so they naturally vomited clean.
But the emperor didn't want to punish them.
"Go back and tell He Jieyu that she will naturally have everything to do with her, but if she has any crooked thoughts, don't blame me for not giving her a chance."
These words can scare the two Shang Palace, trembling out of the Taihe Palace, I heard that the day out of the palace, I don't know if I went to the courtyard, until the night palace door is about to give the key to come back.
Duan Kui also inquired here, after the two Shang Palaces came back, they didn't delay, they went to Yongxiang Palace overnight, and they still went in with their things, but when they came out, they were bare-handed.
In addition to Yongxiang Palace, they also went to Juning Palace and Xianghe Garden.
Duan Kui told Pan Zhenan the truth.
"I knew it wasn't that simple, He Jieyu, who lacked heart, didn't know that she was treated as a bird and died." Pan Zhenan rubbed his hands lightly, soaking his feet, "Lin Jieyu and Xu Jieyu are not less mixed in this matter, but they don't dare to be as publicant as He Jieyu, it seems that the gift sent out also has their share." ”
"Isn't it?" Duan Kui took Pan Zhen'an's left foot out of the foot bath and wiped it clean with a clean handkerchief, "The servant specially asked someone to go to the gate of Yongxiang Palace to inquire about a few words, but He Jieyu was not lightly angry, and her temper was almost not to mention that she encountered this incident, and all the bedding objects in the hall were thrown out. ”
Pan Zhenan looked down on it very much, and when she heard the apprentice's arrangement, she also followed Ying He's two sentences: "She either loses or throws things all day long, her temper and character are not good, who can blame the emperor for not looking down on her?" Just this virtue can't be favored in a lifetime, and it's used as a gun! ”
"That's what the master said." Duan Kui, who spoke, had already washed Pan Zhen'an's feet, took the handkerchief and wiped it, and finally washed his hands and carefully held a cup of tea and handed it to him.
