Chapter 279: Two Poles (2)
Although summer has not yet passed, the days are getting colder day by day.
Gao Fuli looked at Zhang Rong'er coldly, only to feel that her outfit looked a little strange today...... No, it's not so much weird as it has ulterior motives.
Although Zhang Rong'er put on a cloak on the outside, she couldn't cover the gauze inside. The snow-white tulle was even thinner against the same white flesh, as if it would be punctured with a slight poke.
Gao Fuli wrinkled his brows and thought: Wen Jieyu doesn't look like she's here to ask for peace.
Zhang Rong'er knew that the minions of others were secretly looking at her, anyway, they were all a group of useless eunuchs, she didn't care, just let them look.
She waited for a moment, and finally there was movement inside.
Gao Fuli saw that the emperor allowed Wen Jieyu to enter, but Niangniang did not leave first, so he felt a lot more relieved.
Who knows, what did this woman have in mind?
Zhang Rong'er slowly walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall alone, and Zhou Youchen deliberately lowered his head to look at the excerpt, instead of not looking at her.
Meng Xilan sat on the side, looked at her quietly, and when she saw her special dress, she couldn't help but move her eyebrows and curl the corners of her mouth.
Zhang Rong'er stepped forward to say hello without blushing or panting, her tone was soft and her expression was respectful.
Zhou Youchen didn't want to look up at her, but who knows, Meng Xilan beside him suddenly chuckled, which made him a little concerned.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Rong'er opposite, he didn't need to look at it much, just one glance, he knew that something was wrong with her.
"Didn't I say that you were not allowed to appear in the Heart Cultivation Hall again? You've done it knowingly, so you'd better give me a reasonable explanation......"
Zhang Rong'er slowly stretched out her hand to take off her cloak, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not here to dislike people today. The concubine is here to relieve the boredom of the emperor and the mother. ”
She revealed the light gauze skirt she was wearing inside, although the gauze skirt wrapped her whole body and covered the spring color, but her graceful and slender figure was perfectly highlighted.
Meng Xilan looked at her thin waist like a water snake, and her heart was slightly amazed.
She was already thin, but now she looks more lovable.
Zhang Rong'er raised her head fearlessly, looked at Meng Xilan with a slightly provocative look, and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, implying provocation.
In any case, as a woman, she is tall enough to make her proud.
Seeing this, Meng Xilan just smiled slightly.
In the end, he is young and vigorous, and in order to compete for favor, he can toss himself like this. Presumably, she must have made herself suffer a lot for this figure.
Zhang Rong'er was indeed out of the way, she turned her eyes to look at Zhou Youchen, faintly expecting to see a trace of amazement in his eyes.
Just a little bit, a little bit, that's a great encouragement to her. However, to her disappointment, there was no wave in Zhou Youchen's brown eyes, not even the slightest emotion, she just looked at her quietly like that, then lowered her head again, and lightly stroked the pen on the fold.
Zhang Rong'er breathed a little, but she didn't lose heart, she deliberately looked at Meng Xilan and said: "Niangniang, the concubine has nothing to do, she learned a dance from her teacher, and she is here to perform today, and I hope that Niangniang will be gracious." ”
Before Meng Xilan could speak, Zhou Youchen had already said coldly: "No!" Wen Jieyu, do you have a bad brain, or do you have a bad memory? You forgot what I said to you last time? ”
Whether she was dressed or not, she made no difference in his eyes.
Zhang Rong'er stabilized her restless heartbeat and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the concubines have spent a lot of effort in order to practice this dance well. It's just a moment's work, doesn't the emperor even want to give his concubines such a little time? ”
Zhou Youchen was about to say more, when Meng Xilan next to him gently moved the corner of his clothes: "Your Majesty, since Wen Jieyu is prepared, how about let's take a look?" ”
Zhou Youchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Do you want to see her dancing in this dress?" ”
"Why not? Wen Jieyu is the emperor's concubine, why not give the emperor a dance? ”
Zhou Youchen's originally expressionless face, hearing this, he frowned: "What?" Do you want to test me too? ”
Meng Xilan laughed when she heard this, just shook her head, then looked at Zhang Rong'er, and said in a clear tone: "I just think she's too pitiful......"
She didn't need to test Zhou Youchen, because she never thought of tethering him for the rest of her life. No matter who he likes, as long as he rejoices, she rejoices.
That's right, isn't it pitiful enough to compete for favor and even disregard self-esteem?
Zhang Rong'er's face turned pale, she looked back at Meng Xilan, and deliberately didn't care: "Thanks to your mercy, the concubine will be ugly." With that, she clapped her hands, and the unexpected musician came in to accompany her.
When the music sounded, Zhang Rong'er slowly danced her slender waist, which looked really beautiful.
Meng Xilan calmly admired her dancing, but Zhou Youchen was a little impatient, but his chest was still slightly hot, not because he liked it, but because of a man's instinct.
Those sensual stimuli, those overly seductive teasing, can light a fire in a person's body.
Zhou Youchen's frowning and unhappy appearance was seen by Zhang Rong'er, she was unmoved, and performed harder.
By the time the dance was over, she was already out of breath, knelt on the ground and saluted: "The concubine is ugly, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Do concubines dance beautifully? ”
Zhou Youchen turned his face away and did not comment.
Meng Xilan nodded in approval, and clapped her hands and said, "Wen Jieyu's dancing skills are exquisite, which is really admirable." ”
She didn't say anything cold, but the truth.
Zhang Rong'er's gaze was tightly locked on Zhou Youchen's body, and she vaguely noticed that his expression had changed, but he refused to show more...... It was impossible for him not to be unmoved, as long as he was still a man.
After a while, Zhou Youchen finally opened his mouth: "Wen Jieyu has a meritorious dance, and she will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rong'er's face instantly turned pale.
What is this? Tipping? She's not a showman's dancer!
At this time, Meng Xilan slowly stood up, she walked to Zhang Rong'er's side, helped her stand up with her own hands, and then tied her cloak.
Zhang Rong'er's eyes flashed, staring at him, I don't know what it means?
"Jieyu has worked hard today, and the mourning family is very happy to see it."
Glad...... Perhaps, she was snickering in her heart? joked that she was once again in front of her, embarrassed, and full of foreign appearance.
Zhang Rong'er was about to speak, but saw Meng Xilan shaking her head at her slightly, signaling her not to say much.
"Although what you want is not a hundred taels of silver, but since the emperor has rewarded it, you should still accept it with gratitude."
Meng Xilan reminded her softly.
She is indeed amazing enough today, and it is better not to make any extraneous branches.
Zhang Rong'er was slightly surprised, and when she was wondering, Meng Xilan lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "It's a smart person to accept it when you see it, isn't it?" ”
Her tone was soft, but it made her shudder.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she was still afraid.
After Zhang Rong'er received the reward and left, Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan seriously and asked, "Just now, did you do it on purpose, right?" Are you testing me? ”
She doesn't have to do it at all, but sometimes, women inevitably think more.
Meng Xilan turned to look at him, and asked instead of answering: "What does the emperor think?" Did you feel excited? ”
"You ......" Zhou Youchen glared a little angrily. Lan'er, I've never taken the initiative to provoke them. It's dangerous for you to do that......"
Meng Xilan nodded quietly when she heard this, and then muttered, "It's also dangerous for the emperor to be so cold to them. There are not many concubines in the palace, only the two of them, one of them wants to get the emperor's heart, and the other wants to get the emperor's person, if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later. ”
A woman's jealousy is the most terrible.
"So what do you want me to do? Playing with them? ”
Meng Xilan shook her head: "I don't know either." ”
Now Zhou Youchen may not be, but when she is old one day and she is old and decrepit, he may be willing to play with other women.
Zhou Youchen walked up to her and said in a serious tone: "You don't have to test me, I don't need them." ”
Is it? Can she really be his only one? Maybe, maybe...... He just didn't need them for a while.
Meng Xilan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, promise me one thing, okay?" ”
"You say."
"If one day, I mean if...... When the emperor no longer likes me and no longer needs me, I hope that the emperor will tell me honestly and not hide it from me. ”
Honesty is more important than anything else. Especially for her, it can give her peace of mind.
Zhou Youchen looked at her helplessly: "You, you, when will you not be cranky?" ”
Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and was silent.
Just talking about the day and night, she naturally doesn't need to worry too much. But the days ahead are still long, and she just wants to be prepared.
"Is the emperor willing to promise me?"
"Alas...... Yes, I promise you. ”
Seeing that Zhang Rong'er would rather become a laughing stock and give up all the behaviors of competing for favor, the minions in the palace began to talk about it.
Some people say that she must be crazy, and others say that she is too frivolous, willing to be cheap, and even less worthy of the emperor's favor.
Zhang Rong'er ignored the gossip outside the palace, she had heard too much, she didn't feel angry anymore, and her ears were about to grind out calluses.
What she cares about most now is her body, the fair skin, the slender waist, and there must not be the slightest flaw.
Every day she had to stand in front of the mirror, scrutinizing her body, naked, staring at herself with an expression that bordered on obsession, smiling strangely.
The palace maids and grandmothers around her were a little worried about her, because she hadn't had a good meal for a long time, and she ate some fruit every day, and her face was not as rosy as before.
The imperial dining room delivers food on time every day, but Zhang Rong'er doesn't even look at it, she only thinks that if she can be thinner and slimmer, then the emperor may like her.
Zhang Rong'er overdieted and soon fell ill. The doctors used to prescribe medicine to her, and the tonic medicine was delivered every day, but she didn't touch a mouthful.
The situation began to get a little tricky, and no one in the palace dared to make any decisions, so they could only ask Meng Xilan to make it clear.
