Seventy-four, out of the sheath (3)

Emperor Chen's behavior in the Penglai Hall was completely inconsistent with that in the Zichen Palace, and as the emperor's calmness and majesty in controlling everything, almost everyone had to surrender. Even if Wei Guifei is usually high-flying and domineering, in front of Emperor Chen, in addition to flattery, Pei Zhenwan really saw a trace of her fear.

Several people entered the hall and sat down, Emperor Chen and Concubine Wei sat on the top, and Pei Zhenwan silently sat down on the side.

Such a scene is really a bit of family joy and joy.

The nurse hugged the four princes and stepped forward, Emperor Chen smiled and teased, the little baby didn't seem to have slept enough, and his eyes stared at it for a while, and then he showed fatigue.

"Take the four princes back to rest."

Emperor Chen was not greedy for the warmth at this moment, Wei Guifei sat aside, carefully opened a tangerine and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is a mandarin from the south, can you taste the sweetness?" ”

Emperor Chen took it and put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "It's really sweet, my sister-in-law will also taste it." ”

The eldest princess, who had reached the age of five, got up, bowed her knees very thoughtfully, and stepped forward to take half of the tangerines in Emperor Chen's hand.

Pei Zhenwan secretly raised her eyebrows, this family got along well, she was sitting on the side, it was really embarrassing.

"It's not yet October at this time, and the tangerines haven't been picked in large quantities, so I'm afraid they were shipped from the south." Emperor Chen looked at his daughter's appearance with a smile and said casually.

"Yes, this is because my uncle has the heart to honor Your Majesty, and he sent a handful of soldiers to escort him all the way, so he was sent to Luodu so quickly." When it comes to the power of the previous dynasty, Wei Guifei is very comfortable in her heart.

"Well, this kind of tangerine is only produced in Nanchu, and all the way from Nanchu, it really bothered Cao Gang." Emperor Chen nodded, and the tangerines peeled off in his hand turned his head and handed them to Pei Zhenwan, who was silently silent.

"My father and uncle are dedicated to His Majesty, so they are naturally the most dedicated."

Wei Guifei smiled and handed over the orange in her hand that had been carefully removed from the tendons, but Emperor Chen waved his hand.

"Your Majesty won't eat another one?"

"That's it, your meal here is excellent, I should save my stomach for lunch and use it more."

Wei Guifei nodded, and hurriedly turned her head to ask Xiang Amber, "Is lunch ready?" ”

Amber stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the meal has been settled, but do you want to eat this time?" ”

Naturally, a few people got up and moved over, and Wei Guifei and the eldest princess sat on Emperor Chen's side alone, but Pei Zhenwan was a little embarrassed and had to sit in the seat facing Emperor Chen.

The meals of Penglai Hall are full of precious and exquisite food, and even the shape of the ingredients and the matching with utensils are also very particular. Wei Guifei quietly watched as He Bao arranged for the little eunuch to try the dishes one by one, and then uncovered the lid of the begonia bowl with gold and silver in it.

Inside is a duckling with a complete form, Wei Guifei said with a smile: "The last time Your Majesty came, I loved this three sets of angelica ducks very much, and the concubine specially ordered them to make it again, Your Majesty taste it, can it taste better this time?" ”

As he spoke, the jade chopsticks in his hand were already very dexterously clamped into a piece, and Shi Shiran spread it into Emperor Chen's bowl.

Emperor Chen did not shirk, and said very familiarly: "Okay, you can also use it together, don't look at me alone." ”

Everyone hurriedly picked up chopsticks to eat, and Emperor Chen's face was as usual, but he didn't say much.

Feeling the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Wei Guifei glanced at the eldest princess, the little person was very smart, scooped two spoonfuls of carved rice with a jade spoon, held the porcelain bowl and said in a milky voice: "Father, try this." ”

A smile bloomed on Emperor Chen's face: "Sister-in-law is sensible, my father must have a good taste." ”

Stretched out his hand and took it, took two bites, nodded and praised: "My father thinks it's delicious, and the food that my sister-in-law gave to my father is delicious." ”

This emperor coaxed his daughter, but it was not very different from the people, the same thing was to laugh and say words of praise. Only this moment is the moment when Pei Zhenwan feels that Emperor Chen has been closest to himself since he stepped into Penglai Palace.

Wei Guifei looked at this scene, seemed to be a little relieved, and said politely to Pei Meiren: "Sister Pei, use more, if you are hungry and lose weight in Penglai Palace, Your Majesty will not want to go to this palace." ”

Emperor Chen agreed: "Yes, the dishes here in Manzhi are the most kitkat, if you don't open up to eat today, you won't be able to eat it when you go back." ”

Wei Guifei was very satisfied with the peaceful scene at this moment, took a small bite of the dishes in front of her, and said with a smile: "I don't know when Shen Zhaorong's prayer will end, the concubine thinks, she can't eat those tangerines on weekdays, if it is proper, the concubine wants to send some, so that Her Majesty can take care of it more." ”

"Manzhi really has a heart," Emperor Chen stopped his movements, his eyes were very appreciative and gratified, "She has also suffered a lot in the past few years, you used to be old acquaintances, you should be more considerate of her." ”

"It's all what a concubine should do," Wei Guifei raised her eyes to look at Emperor Chen's expression, and smiled tentatively: "In the past, the concubine helped the queen mother to govern the six palaces, and she was indeed a little busy, and she neglected to visit Zhaorong. Now that the concubines are idle, they should naturally care more about the sisters in the palace. ”

Pei Zhenwan smiled in her heart, it turned out that she was waiting here. Wei Manzhi is really an uncontrollable temperament, so he plans to win over and support, so he can't wait to mention the power of the assistant six palaces, and see how Emperor Chen reacts.

"You have always known the general situation, and I naturally believe that if Zhaorong has your help, he will be able to live in harmony with other concubines in the palace in the future."

inadvertently bypassed the topic like this, and Concubine Wei was naturally not stupid enough to mention it again, so she smiled properly and served the lunch.

By the time she finished rinsing her mouth and washing her hands, the little princess was already a little sleepy.

Concubine Wei took the eldest princess's hand and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to rest here for a while?" ”

Emperor Chen glanced at the mother and daughter, and said, "You have worked hard to take care of the two children, I will go back to the Zichen Palace, and it will be good to have Pei Meiren to serve." ”

Hearing this, Pei Zhenwan naturally took a few steps forward, Wei Guifei smiled, looked at each other twice, and led the eldest princess to respectfully send Emperor Chen out of the palace gate.

He Bao has always been with him, and the king's eyes can know what to do at this moment. Emperor Chen walked out of the palace gate, and the imperial chariot had already stopped outside. Concubine Wei took the eldest princess's hand and stepped forward to curtsied.

Pei Zhenwan turned her eyes, but she saw a figure kneeling in the corner of the palace wall outside the palace gate, plain palace clothes, but it was difficult to hide her outstanding appearance compared to other palace maids. There is no bead hairpin in the hair, and it does look a little lonely and lonely.

Emperor Chen was about to step up, but when he saw that her eyes had been staring in this direction, he also looked over.

Naturally, it was Wan Xiuyun.

"You know her well?" Emperor Chen asked softly.

Pei Zhenwan turned her head and replied with lowered eyes: "Yes, in the past, the concubine and Xiuyun lived in the same room. ”

Emperor Chen nodded, stepped up to sit on the imperial chariot, and naturally stretched out his hand to pull her up.

It was broad daylight, and it was in front of Concubine Wei of Penglai Palace, but she couldn't break the rules so swaggeringly no matter what, so she couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Who knew that Emperor Chen had no doubt that he got closer, grabbed her hand hanging on the side, and dragged her to the imperial chariot half-pulled.

"Since you have a relationship with her, let her go to you."

This is a sentence that Emperor Chen left lightly when the imperial chariot was raised.
