Chapter Eighty-Six: Jewelry and Clothing

She muttered in a low voice, "This Taihe Hall is really a good place, even the wind is warmer than the back garden, no wonder it is where the emperor lives." ”

When the Chunluan sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of the Taihe Palace, Yao Chuxi had not yet come to his senses.

"Yao Meiren, please."

It wasn't until he heard Qiu Shanggong's voice that Yao Chuxi reacted and got off the sedan chair with the stove in his hand.

The two palace maids supported Yao Chuxi one on the left and one on the right, and slowly walked up the steps.

I haven't come for a while, but the Taihe Hall hasn't changed much, the words on the plaque are still so big, and the lanterns on both sides are still so bright.

There are many steps, Yao Chuxi, who was tired when she walked to the top, gasped twice, she really didn't like to climb the steps, and she didn't understand why the emperor liked to live in such a high place.

That's probably how the idiom 'high up' came from.

The emperor has been sitting in the palace for a while, and when she entered the palace, the harem maid first took off her cloak for Yao Chuxi, and then she asked An to salute.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

"Get up." The emperor sat on the low couch and stretched out his hand, motioning for Yao Chuxi to come and sit, "But it's cold?" ”

"No, it's a little windy, but it's not cold." As she spoke, she reached out and put her hand on the emperor's palm, and sat down carefully beside the emperor.

The emperor looked at her and nodded with satisfaction: "Let's set the meal." ”

Yao Chuxi rarely wears clothes with such eye-catching colors, but today's purple can only be said to be just right, it seems that she is mature and steady, and there is some style hidden in the stability, lined with loose sideburns and the mutton fat jade hairpin rewarded by the emperor, everything is so perfect.

Pan Zhenan, as usual, came over with a plate and briefly tried the meal, making sure that he was okay before letting the emperor eat.

The eunuch was about to come over to make vegetables, but when he saw the emperor waving his hand, he didn't dare to move. Pan Zhenan gave a look, and he went down immediately.

With Yao Chuxi here, everything the emperor eats is fragrant, since it is fragrant, if there is someone who tells you what to eat all the time, how much to eat at one time, who can eat comfortably?

That's how the emperor feels, although the eunuch who serves the food next to him can just point to what he wants to eat, but how to say it, it is someone else's food, and it doesn't necessarily fit in with more and less sandwich, and it doesn't have the fragrance of eating with his own big chopsticks.

In the past two days, he either dined by himself or with Gao Shunyi, and the eunuchs went back and forth in front of him, which made him lose his appetite.

In fact, it's no wonder that the eunuchs serve the food. Serving Eunuch Serving Eunuch, as the name suggests, is to take care of the emperor when he is eating, which is also an unwritten rule set by the ancestors.

Gao Shunyi seemed to be afraid of him, not as generous as Yao Chuxi. When you eat with her, she will tell you which dishes are particularly delicious, which dishes are suitable for eating right now, which cold dishes are the most refreshing, and what seasonings will taste better when you put them in them. Gao Shunyi is different, she pretended to be cautious, she didn't dare to put vegetables and cloth vegetables for the emperor, but she commanded the eunuchs to clip this and that, and she also said which dish to eat which dish is good for the body, the emperor didn't like that feeling very much, and felt like being controlled for no reason.

Therefore, when eating at the same table with Yao Chuxi, the emperor basically does not use the eunuchs to serve, I don't know if it is the psychological effect or what, he feels that the dishes he sandwiches are more fragrant than those of others.

There is a black chicken soup in the center of the square table, the emperor used to hear the imperial doctor talk about it in front of the queen mother, saying that it is beneficial to the woman's body, but now he suddenly remembered that the emperor personally served a bowl to Yao Chuxi.

"You drink too." Yao Chuxi was a little flattered when he took the soup bowl.

The emperor continued to eat, his face was expressionless on the surface, but in fact, his heart blossomed, and he felt a special sense of accomplishment.

A whole cup of black chicken soup, the emperor only drank half a bowl, and the remaining bowl on the left and one bowl on the right were served to Yao Chuxi to drink.

Pan Zhenan looked at the emperor and Yao Meiren with a smile on the side, and there was an indescribable joy in his heart.

This Yao beauty is really a good medicine to treat the emperor, and with her, even Pan Zhenan himself feels a lot more relaxed.

Just now, Yao Meiren told him that the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair would be rewarded with a little hot water to drink, so that they could have a good rest. It was originally a very small thing, but Pan Zhenan was moved.

If he wanted to put it aside in normal times, he would definitely think that he was making a show for the emperor, but Yao Meiren's expression was so natural, or he said it alone with Pan Zhenan, and he didn't think about whether he would tell the emperor at all. It's just an inconspicuous little thing, what's the better to tell about? Pan Zhenan realized at this moment what a good errand it was to be a palace man in Yingxue Pavilion.

There was a dish on the square table that was fried crispy little yellow croaker, Yao Chuxi peeled off the hard shell on the outside with his hands, picked out the thorns and handed it to the emperor.

"This meat is good and tender." The emperor gave her half of the fish again, "You can taste it too." ”

Yao Chuxi also tasted it and peeled another one himself.

Yuan Shaoyu made this dish for her before, as if she had made it when she was not favored, because this dish did not require too much preparation, and it was basically finished after frying it a few times.

When Jiang Liu returned to Yunyan Pavilion with this dish for the first time, he made Yao Chuxi happy, rewarded each of them with a piece, and ate the rest by himself.

It stands to reason that the freshly fried small yellow croaker is only delicious when the skin is crispy, but Yao Chuxi likes to eat the fish softer, or simply tear off the skin of the fish to eat the white meat inside.

The meat is tender, fragrant, and has a mushy aroma.

Far away, there is a stir-fried oil and wheat cabbage, the oil is very little, and a little meat can be vaguely seen in it. Yao Chuxi prefers to eat this dish, it is crisp and crisp.

The two of them used a lot of dinner today, and then washed their hands and mouths, and Pan Zhenan took people out.

At night, the two were lying on the bed, and the emperor hugged Yao Chuxi.

"Is Princess Yun better?" Yao Chuxi asked.

The emperor looked at her, "It's much better, and I have to continue to drink medicine." ”

"The emperor has to go to see her often, and she is also a poor child."

The emperor's eyes fluctuated a little when he looked at Yao Chuxi, and he just looked at her through the light refracted by the moon.

Yao Chuxi saw that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, and thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he looked up at the emperor.

It was his gaze.

Before she could do anything, a gentle kiss landed on her lips.

They hugged each other tighter.

Although they have hugged each other and slept many times, Yao Chuxi will be shy and embarrassed every time, I don't know if the emperor is too charming or what is going on with herself, sometimes the emperor will blush when he sees her.

She often thinks that she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life, and it is only in this life that an emperor is so fond of her. Even if not permanently, she admitted.

When she woke up in the morning, the emperor was beside her, gesturing to the palace people not to let them make a sound, presumably for fear of waking her up.

"Are you awake?"

The emperor turned around when he heard the voice, and promised, "I have just woken up." ”

Yao Chuxi sat up from the bed and rubbed his head.

"Still sleeping?" The emperor put the quilt on her legs.

Yao Chuxi shook his head, "Don't sleep, do you get up?" ”

The emperor nodded.

The two palace maids behind him came with cotton robes, kneeling on one knee and wearing them for the emperor one after the other, Yao Chuxi couldn't pretend not to be invisible, and got out of bed to change clothes for the emperor.

Wearing a robe on top of the cotton robe, Yao Chuxi got up after getting the emperor's belt.

The clothes she wore yesterday had already been washed by the Shang Palace of the Taihe Palace, so she had to put on the clothes prepared for her by the emperor.

She recognized the material of the clothes, and Han Shanggong had told her about this material before.

The palace maid said that this dress was called Softsilver Light Luo Lily Skirt, Yao Chuxi nodded while listening, and looked at this body carefully.

Another palace maid brought a gold hundred butterflies wearing a flower cloud brocade jacket, dark purple with some rose, which looked both atmospheric and pleasant, and there were many dancing butterflies embroidered on it.

After Yao Chuxi put it on, he stayed in front of the mirror for a while.

The skirt is beautiful, it looks like light yarn, but in fact it is very thick, and you can wear a cloak on the outside and go out. The sleeves of the Softsilver Light Lily Skirt, the front of the placket and the corners of the skirt are fluffy, soft, and there is a fragrance when you smell it carefully.

The sleeves of the gold-cut Baidie wearing the flowery cloud brocade jacket are shorter than the sleeves of the skirt, just leaving the fluff on the sleeves of the skirt.

The emperor looked at Yao Chuxi, although he didn't say anything, he nodded secretly, as if he was appreciative.

Breakfast is served from time to time, and the main course is a plate of tender pastries and two small bowls of chaos.

Chaos is stuffed with pork, the soup is delicious, and there are some chopped coriander floating on the noodles.

There are only four dishes, a dish of red plum beads is a must, and a dish of stir-fried shredded bamboo shoots, and some shiitake mushrooms are placed in it.

The other two dishes are meat dishes, a swallow warbler cup, and a ruyi ball.

After breakfast, Yao Chuxi was sent back to Yingxue Pavilion, and the emperor rewarded him with some things before going back.

Two pieces of jewelry. A red dripping bead crested golden step, a mutton fat jasmine hairpin.

The palace maid who came back with Yao Chuxi was holding a square plate in her hand, and the things in the square plate were dazzling, and they were shiny after being illuminated by the sun.

Underneath the two hairpins are two pieces of clothing. A cloud goose fine cotton coat, blue mixed with some crescent white, looks fresh and elegant, and can best match Yao Chuxi's face. Another elastic dark pattern cotton clothes, the color is much darker than the cloud goose fine cotton clothes, listen to the palace maid who served in the Taihe Palace, the color used to dye this material is a little miscellaneous, it is begonia red mixed with silk and apricot yellow dyeing.

Both clothes are worn in winter, and they are both suitable for Yao Chuxi to wear, but I am afraid that if I really wear them, I will arouse a lot of jealousy.

After returning to Yingxue Pavilion, Xiao Meiren came to sit down, ate some snacks, played two games of chess and went back.

"Is the little master lacking? Slave and maid hammer you? Luoxue asked.

Yao Chuxi slowly raised his hand and waved, "No need, just rest for a while." ”

"Do you want to use something? Or a drink? Mr. Yuan just sent the milk soup, and now it is just hot. ”

Yao Chuxi smiled: "Are you greedy?" ”

"What do you say, little lord? The slave is afraid that you will be lazy! ”
