Chapter Eighty-Nine: Three Talented People
"What if so?" It seems that Concubine De didn't take this matter to heart, but she really went through Concubine Qing's words in her mind, "I am appointed by the emperor, where do I dare to find someone to help?" If it's small, I'm lazy and shirk, and if it's big, it's a bully, besides, what's going to happen, in the final analysis, don't you get me here? When the time comes, it's still me who will be in trouble. ”
It sounds like a complaint, but Concubine Qing can understand that Concubine De is rejecting her.
She didn't say anything, just used a cup of tea, and the second prince ate two pieces of snacks, and went back in a warm sedan chair.
She has always been dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement, it stands to reason that although Concubine De has high experience and good character, she is not necessarily worse than her, and there is a prince by her side, to put it bluntly, if there is any day to be crowned queen, it is none other than herself.
Although there are many and complicated things in the palace, I can handle it myself, and I really can't divide it out or let others help, but the emperor didn't think about letting her take care of things at all, and handed them over to Concubine De to manage without discussing a word with her, and she was inevitably unconvinced.
She hugged the second prince tightly on the way back. There was a wind outside the warm sedan chair, occasionally blowing in a few wisps of cold wind, Concubine Qing handed the stove in her hand to the second prince, and hugged him tightly with her two arms.
I don't know when the fight began, Concubine Qing no longer thinks that the second prince is her son, but more of a link between the second prince and interests and needs, she still doesn't understand, such an idea has invisibly pushed the relationship between their mother and son away.
is pushing away and getting closer, Concubine Qing only feels that she has to love this son more, and love the only prince of the emperor more, as long as there are no major changes, she will be the only queen mother in the future.
The second prince in his arms was at the time when he was unreasonable, and at this moment he raised his head and looked at the warm sedan curtain in front of him, trying to break free from his mother's embrace, stretching out his little hand to grasp the hanging tassel hanging next to the curtain.
The hanging tassel is the craftsmanship of the Shangyi Supervisor, with a Chu colored thread to wear into a spike, wearing a blue and white rolling jade bead in the middle, and there is a golden and red thread tied into a network above the hanging tassel.
The emperor had gone to Yingxue Pavilion for dinner, and had been staying at Bijingxuan until then.
Princess Yunyi's illness has been cured, but she is worried that her illness will recur, so she has to use a decoction recently.
She herself doesn't like to drink medicine, every time she smells the bitter smell of medicine, she frowns, and her mouth is closed tightly.
Yao Chuxi asked about the condition of Princess Yuncheng of the emperor, and after hearing the answer, he was not too relieved, so he asked again after a while.
The emperor knew that she was worried, so he patiently said again, "Her illness has been cured, and Gao Shunyi will not let her go out and run around this day to save her from recurring." ”
"She's so young, she's really suffering." Yao Chuxi only said this sentence.
In the evening, the emperor rested in Yingxue Pavilion, it was still the same process, and after washing, Luo Yu and the others retreated.
It was snowing all night, so she carefully closed the door and went back to sleep.
The emperor is here, and it can be said that he has responded to the sentence that he often says when it rains, 'you have to sleep with one eye open to sleep'.
Now the emperor often comes, last night took the master to the Taihe Palace, tonight came to the Yingxue Pavilion again, but really put the master on the bright side of the pampering, Luoxue is a character who does not think about small things, simply happy for the master, I didn't think of anything at all.
Falling rain isn't as solid as hers. What she wondered was what people outside would be able to hold a grudge against their master? Has the master become a thorn in their side? Can't wait to pull it out quickly?
When he returned to the room, Luo Yu changed into the palace maid's clothes, put on his bedclothes, washed his face with a basin of warm water, and then wet the face towel, put it on his face warmly and comfortably, and took it off after a while.
She is used to going around the master all day long, and she can enjoy it for a while at this leisure time in the evening.
It's not that she's tired, the work around the master is light, and she doesn't have to do it if she's tired, but she has to be careful in everything.
She poured the water, returned to the dresser, took off the hairpin on top of her head, spread her hair apart, and pressed her scalp with a grate.
The palace maid's hair and temples are very tight, and her scalp is sore after a long time, and it is very comfortable to comb her hair with a grate, as if she has combed all her tiredness.
She rarely sees Luoxue like this, probably because she is pure-minded, unlike her, she cares about everything and thinks about things.
Before going to bed, she saw Luoxue again, and told her a few words, worried that she would sleep too hard, and she would not hear the master and the emperor call her at night, and that she would make the emperor angry by doing things carelessly.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Luoxue said.
"If you were really measured, I wouldn't have told you this." After the rain finished speaking, he went back to his house.
The master and the emperor are still relatively worry-free, they don't call people almost at night, and the snow also falls lightly, and they are disturbed until dawn.
In the morning, the frost and rain came, and the master and the emperor got up to wash.
The emperor had an early court this morning, and he didn't wait for the master to wake up, so he got up first.
Luoyu was kneeling on one knee to straighten the emperor's belt at the moment, and Luoshuang came in and asked what the emperor wanted to use for breakfast.
The emperor glanced at the sleeping man in the bed tent and whispered, "Let's go to the breakfast she usually ordered." ”
When breakfast was served, Yao Chuxi hadn't woken up yet, and the emperor didn't wait for her, so he used it first.
According to Yao Chuxi's usual food, Yuan Shaoyu made a rice porridge with diced carrots and pork, and made pork ribs and winter melon soup, a plate of cold vegetables and a plate of small shortbread.
There are three types of shortbread, one is filled with meat, one is vegetarian, and the other is stuffed with shiitake mushrooms and shrimp.
The emperor knew that Yao Chuxi must like to eat vegetarian stuffing and mushroom stuffing, so he picked out two shortbreads with meat filling.
This made Pan Zhenan a little puzzled. Are those two shortbreads not made properly? But the emperor didn't taste the inappropriateness of how he knew? Or is it not good-looking? Pan Zhenan shook his head slightly, dispelling the little thought in his mind.
The three loaves are placed exactly the same there, and no one tells who can tell them from the fake? The only thing that may be that Yao Meiren loves to eat.
Pan Zhen'an thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile was fleeting.
By the time Yao Chuxi got up and had breakfast, the emperor had already left.
"Today both of these cakes are to my liking." Yao Chuxi picked up one of them: "Has the emperor used it?" ”
Luo Yu didn't mention the matter of the shortbread, but replied, "The emperor has used it, and he has already gone to the early court at this time." ”
Yao Chuxi was not born, lowered his head and scooped a mouthful of porridge with a spoon, and then ate a bite of shortbread.
The cake is filled with shiitake mushrooms, and the shrimp is very large, and the black line on the back is bent in the cake, and the bite is very elastic.
Yao Chuxi used one of this, and used two more of the vegetarian stuffing.
The vegetarian stuffing is cabbage and radish cabbage, and there is no meat in it, but some bone broth is added to it and the filling.
This shortbread tastes crispy and fragrant, not greasy at all, refreshing and refreshing, if it weren't for the fact that Yao Chuxi really wanted to eat another one.
Han Shanggong said that there are no more than three foods, which means that no matter how delicious and favorite things are, you can't eat enough at one time.
Yao Chuxi understood what this meant.
She cut up the rest of the bread and distributed it to the palace people in Yingxue Pavilion, and almost everyone got half of the bread.
Half a month has passed, and the days are still like that, silent, neither high nor low.
Within half a month, the emperor lived in Yingxue Pavilion once every three days, and would go to Yingxue Pavilion every other day or two to see her, and twice of them took her to the Taihe Palace.
This can't tolerate the jealousy of others, the emperor is the strength to favor her, completely ignoring the existence of others, it is said that how can the palace be so favored in so many years? They can't help but be unconvinced.
The back garden has been noisy for a while, and it hasn't stopped.
Deng Cairen of Yanyang Pavilion had his birthday, and two days later Song Cairen of Qiuyun Pavilion had his birthday, and everyone else thought that after it was over, Hu Cairen of Ruyue Pavilion also had his birthday.
In half a month, the three talented people have passed their birthdays before and after, and it is true that the back garden cannot live in peace.
You don't have to think about it to know that the emperor doesn't care about this, and he doesn't even let Yao Chuxi go over, even if the three posts are sent to Yingxue Pavilion.
Although people can't go, Yao Chuxi can't pretend not to know, even if people don't show up, there is no shortage of gifts.
In the past, there were not so many birthdays, Yao Chuxi thought that it might be that they usually had one or two birthdays, and there were very few people who spent their birthdays together two or three days apart, so they were not so influential.
Deng Cairen hasn't shown his face in the back garden for a long time since he fought with Ban Cainu last time.
It's not that everyone in the back garden has the face to be the master of inviting guests to hold a birthday banquet, it mainly depends on whether Yuan Shaoyu gives them this face. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, Yuan Shaoyu asked the emperor through Pan Zhen'an and asked them if they could do it, and the emperor thought that it was for the auspicious year ahead, and it was not a big deal.
Yao Chuxi prepared three gifts, worried that they would think whose gifts were good and whose gifts were bad, and they would be resentful when the time came, so the three gifts were all the same.
Deng Cairen is a pair of green jade bracelets, and the bracelet border is crossed with gold wire, which is different from ordinary bracelets.
What was given to Song Cairen was a delicate green jade hairpin, the long and slender handle was made of fine jade, the hairpin head was pulled into a wishful shape, and a gemstone was wrapped in the center.
Hu Cairen of Ruyue Pavilion got a green jade vase, the vase is not very big, about the size of a palm and a half, and a few peony flowers in full bloom are carved on the vase, red and purple, lush.
These things are not expensive at all in front of Yao Chuxi, because the emperor often rewards her, and the inner palace eunuch often sends them.
