Chapter 17: Joy

Qingcheng finished eating a snack, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office also packed up and left. The house was covered with a wool blanket with a Jindi Fulu birthday motif pattern, and the feet stepped up, soft and silent. The window is newly pasted with a light purple cicada wing veil, and when you look up, it looks like a thin cloud. Large cabinets and small boxes, several high low stools, all replaced with imperial rosewood. Four or five new furnishings were added: such as the hollow carved and embroidered peony pattern screen in the outhouse, the half-person-high glass palace lamp under the window, the white jade incense pillow on the couch, and the gilt cloisonnΓ© enamel animal ear stove in front of the desk.

Hai'an said: "A few days ago, the plum blossom and vermilion lacquer on the kang broke half of the leg, let them repair it, push left and right, and only send someone to get it after two or three days." It's only been half an hour now, and I can completely change the appearance of the house..."

The new palace maid Erqi smiled and said: "The little master has only been promoted to a nobleman, how dare the people of the Internal Affairs Office treat him badly." Then he said to Qingcheng: "Little master, there is a message from the Heart Cultivation Palace, saying that the emperor will come over and let the slaves and maids serve you to bathe and dress earlier." ”

Qingcheng answered, Erqi went outside to make a code, and at a moment, someone brought a bathtub and brought hot water, towels and other things in. If it was before, everything relied on Hai'an alone, and the people in the Boiling Water Palace were all lazy and lazy, so they had to spend most of the day.

Qingcheng was not used to being served by so many people, so he ordered everyone else to retreat, leaving only Hai'an. She leaned in the tall wooden bathtub in a trance, a thick layer of rose petals floating on the water, and the mist was so thick that she was dazzled, as if she were in a dream. Obviously, Xiao Chang was still unattended yesterday, but if he wanted to hear a rain, he encountered such a change, which made everyone flock to it.

Maybe everyone seems to be a happy event, but in her heart, it is a "change" that disturbs her mind. When he was in the palace, he had died four Gege, all of whom were favored, but none of them ended well, except for Concubine Zhe, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, who was posthumously sealed, and the others were only afraid of where they were buried, and the emperor didn't know. After the emperor ascended the throne, the three palaces and six courtyards, she was in a corner, and she had vaguely heard many rumors, nothing more than who was favored and who died.

If we talk about joy, we are even more afraid.

Hai'an added boiling water to the bathtub and asked, "Which shirt does the little master want to wear?" ”

Qingcheng squinted his eyes and said, "The ones that Su Ri wears are good." ”

Hai An carried a bucket of hot water outside into the house, and said: "How can it be done, you usually wear mostly half-old but not new, the slave maid thought about it, the newly cut autumn clothes last month were not bad, but the color was a little cleaner." ”

Qingcheng said: "That's it." As he spoke, he suddenly heard someone outside panic and said, "Little master, the emperor is here, and the holy driver has arrived at the gate of the courtyard." ”

Qingcheng was frightened, sat tensely, and asked, "Didn't you say that you only came at the right time?" ”

Er Qi said: "The slave and maid don't know...", before it was finished, I heard her shouting: "The emperor is blessed." ”

The emperor's voice was mellow and gentle, and he was not angry that Qingcheng did not go to pick up the driver, and asked, "What about your master?" ”

Er Qi stammered: "Master... Still... Still bathing. He hurriedly begged for mercy and said: "The emperor forgives the sins, and the heart palace spread the word that the emperor only came when he was in Hai, so the little lord is also..."

The emperor's words were simple and short, and he said, "It's okay. He went straight to the square bench in the outhouse, and when he saw the people kneeling in the room, he said, "Do whatever you have to do." ”

Everyone looked at each other and replied, "Yes." ”
