One hundred and sixty-five: clouds
"After the abolition of the Chen family, the East Palace was controlled very strictly, and the generally favored concubines had to pass her pass, except for Xie Meiren and her safe birth of the princess, Concubine Qing gave birth to the second prince and almost died, and Lin Jieyu was the same, because she was pregnant with the dragon seed, she was jealous after the Chen family was abolished, and because of her weak appearance, the emperor tried his best to protect her, which helped her survive the birthday pass."
Yao Chuxi nodded ignorantly.
"Later, I heard that Lin Jieyu missed the trap and was discovered by the emperor, it should be more than once, it seems that she was beating and scolding the palace people, and the weakness of the past is gone, and slowly the emperor saw her clearly, so he rarely went to her palace."
When listening to Concubine De talk about these old things, Yao Chuxi knew that it was inappropriate, but she loved to listen to it, so she looked at her with her chin in one hand and blinked her eyes.
The two said that they were very close, but they forgot that the emperor was looking at the excerpts inside.
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and the sultry heat of the day seemed to disappear, and only at night was there a little wind.
Afraid that Yao Chuxi would be caught by the wind, even in the summer, the emperor was still cautious, and deliberately sent the royal roll, and the two of them helped each other to get on the royal roll, all the way back to the Taihe Palace.
Not to mention anything else, this royal roll is really stable.
Eight people lifted it before and after, and when they sat on the ground, they only felt that they did not tremble up and down, and they did not shake left and right, which was really worthy of being dedicated to the emperor.
At this moment, the sky has not completely darkened, and you can faintly see the brilliant burning clouds in the west, although there is only a little left, but it is still beautiful.
The boundary of the Taihe Hall is high, and there are many steps, so the view here is excellent, and you can also see many beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in the Snow Pavilion.
It's like this burning cloud, if you look at it in Yingxue Pavilion, you can only see a little tail, but you can see it all here.
Seeing that Yao Chuxi stopped and looked at the clouds intently, the emperor also stood up to accompany her, and whispered to Duan Kui, "Let's set the meal first." ”
Hugging the person in his arms, the emperor sniffed the fragrance she came from her, faint, clear, not pungent or deliberate, making him feel at ease.
"If you like it, after giving birth, I will move you to a courtyard with high palace steps to live, and then you can watch the fire and clouds every day." The emperor's eyes were staring into the distance, but his heart kept thinking about the person in his arms.
Yao Chuxi rubbed his eyes, "Concubines don't have to be so troublesome, it's tiring to go up and down the stairs all day." ”
The emperor smiled faintly and said nothing else.
Dinner is much lighter than lunch, Yuan Shaoyu stewed a whole chicken, removed the original fishy smell of the chicken, and added a little soup, the taste was just acceptable to Yao Chuxi.
Although she has now passed the stage of bad joy, she still feels nauseous when she smells strong.
After dinner, the emperor sat in front of the dragon case and looked at the folds for a while, and in the evening there were new folds to be delivered, usually Yao Chuxi would not be around, but since she was there today, the emperor didn't want to hide anything from her.
Although he couldn't talk to her about state affairs, he could feel a person with a warm fragrance of nephrite by his side, and the emperor only felt that the critics were refreshed.
There are a lot of folds, and there are all kinds of things in them.
"Prince Qi's concubine is pregnant with a child, and it is said that it is more than three months." The emperor didn't look up, but just said slowly, Yao Chuxi knew that this was for her.
Why do you have to write down this kind of thing and report it in the fold? Yao Chuxi was slightly puzzled.
The emperor also knew what she was thinking, and explained, "Lord Qi, this is explaining family affairs to me, and it can be regarded as asking for a favor or something." ”
"And what would you like to reward?" Yao Chuxi leaned over and asked.
The emperor raised his head and thought about it, and called Pan Zhenan to come in, "After the child of the Qi Wangfu is born safely, send the mutton fat jade peace lock that I got a few days ago, choose a few kinds of gifts, don't lose the royal face." ”
The birth of a child is to seek auspiciousness and peace, and it is just right to send a peace lock.
"I didn't expect that the prince of Qi would be such a noble person, and he would have such a happy moment." Yao Chuxi sighed softly, "The beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans, and Prince Qi can't escape a family affection after all, and there is a time when he comes to ask you for a reward." ”
The emperor Yinghe said, "Prince Qi doesn't want to fight for anything, but everything that is linked to his children will always be extremely serious." ”
"It's a common problem of being a parent." Yao Chuxi pulled a chair by himself and sat down carefully.
She noticed a few books on the shelves, and when she thought she had nothing to do, she pulled out one and flipped through it.
The candles lit several times, crackling from time to time, and both of them paid attention to each other's business, and both of them paid attention to each other with their spare eyes.
Yao Chuxi coughed, and the emperor put down the fold in his hand, took the long dress he was wearing behind the seat and handed it to her.
"It's cold at night."
There weren't many words, and even outsiders couldn't hear any concern in these words, but they were very useful to Yao Chuxi.
She knew the man in front of her, and this was the greatest warmth he could give.
It's also something that others can't get.
A candle burned out, and it was almost bedtime, and the emperor was worried that she would be pregnant and stay up late and be tired, so he deliberately put down the fold early.
And Yao Chuxi was indeed a little sleepy, in order not to disturb the emperor, he was already half-blinking and almost asleep, and he didn't say that he was sleepy.
The emperor smiled helplessly, hugged her back with one hand, hooked her legs with the other, and hugged her horizontally in his arms, so that her sleepy insects ran away.
But since he had already picked it up, Yao Chuxi fell into the emperor's arms with peace of mind, leaned on his shoulder and muttered, "Have you finished approving all the folds?" ”
The emperor agreed sullenly, and Yao Chuxi only felt that the ear walls leaning on his shoulder shook with his voice.
I haven't lived in the Taihe Hall for a long time, and after squinting on the chair for a while, Yao Chuxi can't sleep a little.
In a hazy sleep, she felt that the person next to her pillow seemed to get up, and there was no movement, she didn't dare to open her eyes, as if the emperor was watching her.
Then after being kissed on the forehead, he covered the quilt again and fell into a deep sleep.
Yao Chuxi didn't know why, didn't the emperor wake up from a dream at night? Or was he not asleep at all? Or maybe he woke up at night just to kiss her?
She was not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and she couldn't figure it out, so she turned sideways and fell asleep.
When he returned to Yingxue Pavilion, Yao Chuxi passed by Yanqing Palace while sitting in a sedan chair.
It's not that she did it on purpose, but Yanqing Palace is not far from the back garden, and if you take a short approach, you will pass by Yanqing Palace.
After taking a closer look at the gate and palace wall of Yanqing Palace, I only felt that it was tall and towering, far stronger than the courtyard of the back garden.
Compared with this Yanqing Palace, Yingxue Pavilion is like a stone hitting into a deep pool.
The current few people in the East Palace are all accompanied, and a few of them have given birth to dragon sons, but how can this Zhao Jieyu He De give her such a palace room when she first enters the palace? also sealed her Jieyu?
Probably because Mrs. Lu said more in front of the emperor, plus Zhao Jieyu's mother's family is higher than Yao Chuxi and others' official positions, not to mention the official position of Lord Zhao, just one sentence that he is an official in the court, he can logically stay in the East Palace.
But isn't it a little unreasonable to give her such a good palace directly?
Even others understood it, and Yao Chuxi naturally understood it.
Thinking that the emperor is ready to suppress the Lu family and the Zhao family, if everything is good for Zhao Jieyu, but he doesn't spoil her or summon her, then her trip to the palace is in vain, and when the time comes, Concubine Qing can't be rescued, not to mention, the Lu family and the Zhao family will slowly lose their favor, after all, their minds are on the bright side, and they know each other that the emperor understands, so why hide it? It's better to be generous.
can be calculated, Zhao Yuan'er, whom they are proud of, has never been favored after entering the palace, and has crushed their crooked thoughts.
But they can't say anything that the emperor doesn't pay attention to their family, after all, there is good food and drink for her, where can they talk to them?
When Yao Chuxi analyzed these pros and cons, the sedan chair was falling in front of the Yingxue Pavilion.
"Little Lord." Luoxue trotted out of the hall and helped Yao Chuxi to the hall, "Have you ever had breakfast?" I heard that the dining room is making mixed porridge today, can you try some of it? ”
"I've had breakfast." Yao Chuxi touched his stomach as he spoke, "But when I heard you talk about mixed porridge, I'm a little greedy, so ask Jiang Liu to ask for a bowl." ”
Luoxue hurriedly agreed, helped his master into the hall and went out.
When he went to the dining room, Yuan Shaoyu was still preparing for lunch in each palace.
"Is Manager Yuan busy?" Jiang Liu asked.
Yuan Shaoyu's apprentice replied, "I heard that Princess Shuluo entered the palace today, and the emperor ordered that a banquet should be set up to entertain her, and the master is preparing at this time." ”
"Then you can help me make a cup of mixed porridge." Jiang Liu scratched his head and said, "My master wants to do that!" ”
"Didn't the mixed porridge be sent to the Taihe Palace?" Yuan Shaoyu's apprentice naturally knew about Yao Meiren's rest in the Taihe Hall last night, and thought that she and the emperor would have breakfast together in the Taihe Hall this morning.
"I don't know about this, maybe I didn't send it over, or maybe my master didn't drink it, anyway, I want to drink it now, you can help serve a little first."
Yuan Shaoyu opened the curtain from inside and came out, "Yo, Yao Meiren wants to drink assorted porridge?" ”
Jiang Liu agreed.
"I said it earlier, I thought Yao Meiren didn't want to drink this, so she didn't send it to the Taihe Palace!" Yuan Shaoyu opened the lid as he spoke, and filled a cup full of assorted porridge, "There is a new dim sum here, take it back for Yao Meiren to taste?" ”
"What you do is good, just take a little bit and do it, and the small one can't be the master for the master, right?"
"You! Little slippery head! Yuan Shaoyu smiled and handed him the food box, "Go ahead." ”
Walking on the road back to the Snow Pavilion, the sun is very good, the air just after the early morning is very fresh, and a few birds on the palace walls on both sides fall on it from time to time, chirping as if a conversation.
Before coming out of Yingxue Pavilion, Luo Xia handed Jiang Liu a piece of dim sum, which was newly taken from the tea room, so Jiang Liu was full of joy, and he was also happy to walk on the palace road that he walked every day.
