Chapter 15: Green Orange
Qingcheng's heart was like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, tinkling, she barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, please drink tea..."
The emperor laughed silently and said, "I am not thirsty, but you are thirsty." As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup on the kang table, handed it to her, and said, "Drink it, I will reward you." ”
Her face flushed, and she said, "The concubine is not..."
The emperor seemed to be angry, and said, "Don't say you don't dare!" ”
Qingcheng had no choice but to answer: "Yes." Then she took the tea, took a sip shallowly, because the emperor was separated between her and the kang, she wanted to get up and put the teacup on the big table, but she didn't want the emperor to stretch out his hand, took the teacup, and calmly rested on the kang.
The emperor turned his face, looked at her fixedly, and said, "I don't know your name yet." ”
Qingcheng said: "Qingcheng, Su Qingcheng." Thinking about the disobedience, he hurriedly repeated: "Your Majesty, the concubine is called Qingcheng, Su Qingcheng." ”
The emperor could have asked Wu Shulai or the people in the worship room, and he only remembered the names of some concubines, and it was the first time that he had remembered a woman's name like this.
He asked, "Which green and which orange?" ”
Qingcheng replied: "Your Majesty, it is the blue of the blue, the orange of the orange." ”
The emperor bowed his head and said softly, "Green orange." ”
Qingcheng thought that she was telling her to have something to order, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
When the emperor saw her so solemn, he laughed again and asked casually, "What about the servants you are waiting for?" ”
Qingcheng was not as restrained as before, and said: "Go to the Internal Affairs Office to send the emperor's dragon pattern Dayu." ”
The emperor said: "You are always in the position, shouldn't there be two palace maids in front of you?" Without waiting for Qingcheng to speak, she suddenly thought that the Internal Affairs Office had kidnapped her palace maid to investigate the case of falling into the water on the Wanshou Festival, and when she saw that she was ungraceful and unfavored, she acted negligently, so she raised her voice and said: "Wu Shulai!" ”
Wu Shulai was very shrewd, as soon as he entered the house, he looked at the situation and knew that the group of fools in the Internal Affairs Office were going to cause trouble for him, so he sent someone to arrange it early. He lifted the curtain and entered, knelt on the ground, and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”
The emperor said indifferently: "Go and tell the Internal Affairs Office, spread my will, and the Su family will rely on Roujia to promote the position of nobleman." ”
Wu Shulai was stunned for a moment, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention that there are very few Han girls who can rise to the high position of nobles, like Su Chang, who was promoted before going to bed, it is rare throughout the ages. He saw Qingcheng sitting still as if he was stupid, and said with a smile: "Su Guiren, don't you hurry up to thank the emperor, it's a great joy." ”
Qingcheng suddenly woke up from a dream, knelt down in a trance, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said: "Concubine Xie Lord Longen, long live my emperor." ”
The emperor personally helped her and said, "Get up, if they dare to treat you lightly again, I will draw their bones!" ”
When Wu Shulai heard this, he trembled as if he had really been pulled to the bone, and he was even more polite when he treated Qingcheng, personally ordered everything, and carefully told the people under him to not dare to neglect half a point.
It was getting late, the clouds lifted, and even the autumn rain that had been falling for a few days stopped. The emperor was in a good mood, and got up and whispered in her ear, "I will go to the Hongde Hall to give a lecture, and I will come to see you in the evening." ”
Qingcheng heard the meaning of the words, his face was full of shame, and when he came back to his senses, the emperor had already left. She didn't dare to lose her honor, so she bent her knees under the corridor and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”
