Pei Zhenwan's hand that was pouring wine couldn't help shaking, trying her best to control it so that the wine would not spill outside the cup, hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Emperor Chen's face, lowered her eyes and said goodbye, honesty is not the moment to joke with Emperor Chen at this moment.

Emperor Chen was playful, got closer, and whispered: "If you said earlier that you wanted to be my concubine, I went directly to find you, why do you work so hard?" ”

Pei Zhenwan couldn't hide, so she had to whisper: "I didn't know Your Majesty's identity before, and there were many contempts, but Your Majesty forgave me, all the concubines and concubines are here, and please don't attract everyone's attention." ”

"Oh," Emperor Chen seemed to be a little lost, put a piece of lotus root in front of him in his mouth, and after a while, he said, "Then since they are here to be an eyesore, I will disperse this banquet." ”

Pei Zhenwan had nothing to say for a while.

Chen Zhao, the emperor of Northern Chen, had the name of having great ambitions when he was the crown prince, and at that time he was assisting in the government and clearing up the accumulated shortcomings, and even the implementation of the new policy of the Chen Dynasty was also very decisive. After succeeding to the throne as emperor, he went on many expeditions to the Later Han Dynasty, Nanshu and other places, but in eight or nine years, the territory of Northern Chen has expanded by nearly half.

How could such a decisive king be with her such a childlike playful heart?

But left and right this is Chen Gong, he is the monarch of Chen Palace, no matter what he thinks, no one can stop him. When the concubines heard that they were going to disperse, although they were a little reluctant, no one dared to say more. Today, Emperor Chen is a new beauty, and no one believes that he will be honored to accompany him.

When the concubines had not completely retreated, He Bao had already stepped forward, bowed down and asked: "Your Majesty, canonize Pei Meiren today, and please ask Your Majesty to see, where is this Pei Meiren placed?" ”

"It's true that I'm too sudden," Emperor Chen looked sideways at Pei Zhenwan, who had been keeping his eyes on the case and not looking at him, and smiled, "Let's call her to Zichen Hall first, I think about it for the past two days, where should the beauty live?" ”

"This, Zichen Hall is His Majesty's dormitory, I'm afraid there is something wrong." He Bao said cautiously, the high-ranking concubines had not yet walked out of the Liuhui Yingcai Pavilion, and they were afraid that they had all heard Emperor Chen's words.

"Oh? Ho Bao, now you have come to be my master? ”

"The minions don't dare." He Bao was frightened and rolled directly to the ground.

Emperor Chen was naturally not really annoyed, and changed his smile and said, "Then you can't afford to drive?" Pei Meiren, you ride with me. ”

Pei Zhenwan glanced at He Bao's expression, this is the eunuch who has been serving since Emperor Chen was the prince, and he is the steward of Zichen Palace, he didn't dare to say anything to stop him, naturally if he shirked it in vain, it would be a disgusting move. In this way, you can only bow your knees and give thanks.

The royal chariot is tall, lifted by twenty-four people, which is more than twice the height of ordinary people, and the palace road, palace wall, and palace wall of Chen Palace are in full view, and even the various flying beasts carved on the blue and white roof and eaves corners also seem to be close in front of you.

Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Emperor Chen, isn't this properly killing her.

was supposed to be high-profile and dazzling, but now, I'm afraid it's too high-profile.

The Zichen Palace is very magnificent, the main hall is the place used by Emperor Chen's government, and on weekdays, he mostly lives in the apse, although it is the side hall of the Zichen Palace, but the regulation here is not smaller than the Hanyang Hall of the Queen's Zhengde Palace.

Although the furnishings in the hall do not say that the view is gorgeous and strange, but the objects placed in several cases, look carefully, all of them are exquisite and valuable. On the right side of the hall is a half-human-tall golden couri-shaped incense, with the faint aroma of ambergris.

Emperor Chen took Pei Zhenwan's hand and stepped in, and Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but feel for a while.

On that day in the Yeting Palace, the imperceptible trace of incense she smelled was not the fragrance of ambergris now? How could she be so stupid, and she also thought of the reason why Feng Lan was born in the same family.

Ren scolded himself more than a dozen times in his heart, but Emperor Chen was already sitting at the round table where he was eating, pointed to the round stool on his side and said, "Sit." ”

Pei Zhenwan hesitated slightly, and then thanked him and sat down.

He Bao clapped his palms, and a column of palace people lowered their heads and held all kinds of dishes, and the fish entered and quietly set them on the table. Although it is not as diverse as the palace banquet, it is also a delicate dish with four meat and four vegetables.

"I see that you haven't eaten all night, these are the dishes prepared by the imperial kitchen of Zichen Palace. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I can't go hungry, so you can use some more with me. Although Emperor Chen said this with the meaning of concern, the affirmation in his tone was also the meaning of command.

Pei Zhen responded gently, she was going to cook for Emperor Chen, but she didn't want to be pressed by him: "Zichen Hall is my own residence, and I don't like these respectful and complicated etiquette on weekdays, so you can use yours well." ”

Slowly sandwiched the entrance of the two dishes in front of him, sure enough, it was the imperial kitchen, and the taste was very wonderful, but Pei Zhenwan had a lot of doubts in her heart, and she was not comfortable at the moment, where was she in the mood to taste the delicious food used by the emperor?

"How can you cherish words like gold now? The sharp-toothed appearance of the past, I still like the way you look. ”

"At this time and that time, it used to be a friend of each other, but now His Majesty is a king, a monarch and a minister, which is naturally different."

Emperor Chen was really more casual in the Zichen Palace, and broke the palm-sized crab in his hand, and the red and crystalline crab roe overflowed, and the fragrance was overflowing, and he couldn't help sighing: "Good crab!" ”

After speaking, he casually handed the other half of the crab to Pei Zhenwan: "It's rare that you think that you have met in the past, since you care so much about the monarch and minister, then how about being with you in the future, I will no longer call myself me?" ”

Pei Zhenwan smiled dumbly, this kind of switching in titles, he was very casual, but it was no wonder that he had never said anything when he was alone a few times before. Stretched out his hand and took the half of the crab, heavy, really good crab.

"If I don't give you this crab, I'm afraid that the whole table will be removed, and you won't move it." Emperor Chen carefully plucked the crab roe in his hand with a small spoon in his hand, which was made of ground shellfish, which was extremely light to pick up, and did not interfere with the delicacy of gold and silverware, and was most suitable for crab consumption.

This Emperor Chen is so familiar, but the more he is like this, the more uncertain it is. He seems to be casual, joking about old things, and repeatedly breaking the dignity of kings and ministers, but the king's joy and anger are invisible, and what he sees on his face is not what he thinks in his heart. And most likely, the opposite.

Thinking like this, Pei Zhenwan put down the half crab in her hand, and her lips moved: "Your Majesty." ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm full," Emperor Chen seemed to know, still looking casual, pointed to the seemingly lonely half crab in the plate, and raised his eyebrows, "It's cold and fishy, you eat quickly, and then you'll talk after eating." ”

Pei Zhenwan still wanted to speak.

"Eat without words."

couldn't help but shake his head, it was this Emperor Chen who talked the most, and he was the one who said what he didn't say at the moment. That's it.

This meal was really eaten for a long time, and Emperor Chen's appetite was great, and he used almost half of the eight dishes, and drank two cups of crab fin soup. He Bao took people to wait, rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands in the golden basin urn, and applied a hot silk handkerchief to his face for a while, and then learned the same thing.

After He Bao retreated with others, Emperor Chen got up and paced to the window. At this time, the windows of the apse are fully open, and standing in the hall, you can also see the full moon hanging high in the air.

"Your name is Zhenwan?"

"Yes."

"Come to me."

Pei Zhenwan walked over gently, next to the emperor, by the window, there was just a place for a person. As she stood still, one arm came up from behind her, grabbing her other shoulder.
