Chapter 151: Concubine Ming (2)

On the day of arriving at the palace in the western suburbs on the twelveth, it was the summer heat in mid-June, Xiangming and Chun'er poured the washed lotus root slices with glutinous rice, took them to cook, and sprinkled white sugar when they were cold, which was the "glutinous rice sugar lotus" that Shen Wan wanted to eat.

was eating, Xichen came in from outside, it was too hot outside, his face was sweating, after washing his face with water, he changed into a clean home-style robe, and picked up a piece to eat, but frowned and said, "It's so sweet." ”

Shen Wan smiled: "I like to eat sweets, you don't know it, and you came to rob me of something to eat." ”

Xichen lowered her head, fed the sugar lotus root in her mouth into her mouth, and said with a smile: "Then I will reward you to eat." ”

Shen Wan didn't swallow it, nor did she spit it out, she glanced at him with disgust, and finally ate it.

Xichen smiled proudly, and said: "The twelfth brother is back, and he lives on the periphery of the palace. ”

Shen Wan listened and asked, "Then, didn't you say that there is an exchange, who is it?" ”

Xichen straightened his face and said, "I was about to tell you that the king of Haidong sent it this time was his daughter, Wang Ji Li Mingxiu. ”

Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Xichen glanced at her embarrassedly and said, "It means about kissing." ”

Shen Wan grinned and said, "Oh? So that's the case, I know, the emperor can rest assured, the concubines will not snub the beauty. ”

Xichen looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but Shen Wan asked again: "Twelve has returned, so what about this Mingxiu girl?" ”

"I'll put her in the Izumo Pavilion first, and I'll make arrangements after you summon her."

Shen Wan still smiled and asked, "Then the emperor, how do you want the concubines to be arranged?" Concubine Qing just died, and she is the princess of Haidong, so why don't you also be named the second concubine? ”

Xichen said expressionlessly: "It's up to you." ”

Shen Wan nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, the emperor, the concubine has another request, the lesson of Concubine Qing, the concubine wants the emperor to issue a decree." ”

Xichen asked with interest: "What is it?" ”

Shen Wan said: "In the future, if the concubine is pregnant, she needs to be diagnosed by the three doctors of the Tai Hospital at the same time. ”

Xichen nodded: "Yes, this method is very good, to avoid any more mermaids." ”

Shen Wan put another piece of lotus root in her mouth, Xichen came to her side, she dodged away, and said sourly: "Doesn't the emperor have a newcomer?" What do you still think about the old people? ”

Xichen laughed and said, "I said that you will eat it, and what kind of virtuous and generous you pretend!" Eating sweet, my heart is full of sour water, right? ”

Shen Wan was angry and wanted to push him away, but he didn't comply, and peeled off her clothes while rubbing, and the palace people had already quietly retreated, leaving only the sound of panting and heavy breathing in the room.

After lingering, there is an endless aftertaste.

In the evening, Shen Wan sat in the corridor near the lake of "Crane and Deer in the Same Spring" to enjoy the coolness, the majestic breeze was cool, blowing the lotus leaves full of lake powder, bringing a trace of coolness. Shen Wan leaned lazily on the railing, and saw the sunset slanting westward, shining on the lotus leaves, a golden yellow. He took a lotus leaf in his hand, and his long nails like shallots were placed on the lotus leaf, leaving a crescent-shaped mark.

Cui Shanggong stood aside with a smile, Xiangming walked slowly, smiling, and after the salute, he said: "Su'e has been able to get out of bed, and the toxins in her body have been eliminated, if you rest for two more days, your body will be fine." Su'e said, come another day to thank Niangniang. ”

Shen Wan sighed leisurely: "Thank me for what to do, don't hate me." You go and tell her, let her take care of it, and come back to serve it after Lisuo, it's of great use! ”

"Yes." Xiangming agreed with a smile, and was just about to go to pass the word, when she saw Chun'er running over in a hurry, Xiangming chirped, "Little hoof, it's getting more and more crazy, why are you so unruly!" ”

Chun'er came running, out of breath, and didn't pay attention to the tea. said directly to Shen Wan: "Niangniang, I can find out, that Wang Ji of Haidong is a great beauty!" ”

Cui Shanggong coughed lightly, and Xiangming glared at her.

Chun'er also realized that she had lost her words, and said embarrassedly: "Of course, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as your mother!" ”

Shen Wan smiled and said to Cui Shanggong: "The teacher should teach this girl the rules in the future, fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise, I really think that I, the queen, is partial to others, and I can't even discipline a girl well." ”

Chun'er hurriedly said: "Niangniang, people are in a hurry to tell you something!" ”

Shen Wan looked at her funny, and she couldn't bear to be punished, so she asked with a smile: "Isn't that Wang Ji very beautiful?" Is there anything else? ”

Chun'er took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is said that this Wang Ji is the concubine of the queen of Haidong, and she is very favored by the king and the queen. She is very beautiful, and she can sing and dance, I heard that she dances beautifully, and she can dance on lotus flowers! ”

"Lotus?" Shen Wan narrowed her eyes and laughed, "Could it be that the ancients often said that every step of the way is a lotus?" ”

Chun'er rolled her eyes and said, "Niangniang is still in the mood to joke at this time!" This Wang Ji is dedicated to the emperor, that is to say, she is here to compete with her mother for favor! ”

Xiang Ming said: "Do you think that just a beautiful woman can snatch away the emperor's favor from our mother?" ”

Chun'er was stunned for a moment, Shen Wan smiled calmly, and said, "Silly girl, it's a shame that you still inquire so clearly." Come on, I've asked the emperor, tonight's banquet, let this princess meet everyone, right? By the way, please join His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

Chun'er muttered, "His Royal Highness King Yi is fine, but the slave doesn't want to see that Nika anymore!" ”

Shen Wan smiled, but there was always a lingering haze in her heart.

Cui Shanggong went to ask the emperor, and Xichen also decided to have a banquet in Qiushui Pavilion tonight, but after Cui Shanggong came back, he told Shen Wan that Xichao could not attend the dinner.

Shen Wan was stunned: "Why?" ”

Cui Shanggong said: "I was infected with the wind chill on the way back, and I am resting at this time, and I will not stay in the palace in the western suburbs for a long time, and I will return to the capital in the near future." ”

Shen Wan felt lonely in her heart, and said lightly after a while: "Oh, that's the case." ”

Cui Shanggong only said when she was worried about Xi Chao's condition: "Niangniang don't worry too much, King Yi is about to be tired from the journey, you must know that from Haidong back to the capital, the waterway will have to go for fifteen days, and the sea is bumpy, it must be hard." ”

Shen Wan said: "I know, it's good to be back, but I always feel ...... Teacher, why do I always feel that he is not the so-called wind chill, but does not want to see me? ”

Cui Shanggong was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Niangniang say this?" ”

Shen Wan smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, maybe I'm suspicious." ”

Cui Shanggong bowed his head and said: "The dinner is approaching, please move to change your clothes, right?" ”

"Okay."
