Chapter 349: Scheming (1)
To her, immortality is like a medicine that can cure diseases. Any trouble and pain, as long as he is around, can be wiped out in an instant.
Zhou Youchen nodded deeply: "The same is true for me, there are many disturbances in front of me, only when I see you, I can feel at ease." ”
He slowly shifted his gaze to the shallot-like fingers, and by accident, he caught a glimpse of the cotton cloth on her fingertips, and knew that she had hurt himself.
While talking, the grandmother outside came to report.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is awake, do you want to give it to the Lord and the Niangniang?"
Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "Come on." After speaking, she put away the needle and thread in her hand and told Jade to put it away.
Zhou Youchen took the initiative to grab her hand, looked at her fingertips and said, "Why are you so careless." ”
Meng Xilan smiled weakly, "Concubines also have clumsy times. ”
Zhou Youchen lowered his head and kissed her fingertips: "I also hope that you can be a little stupid sometimes." ”
There is something in his words. Meng Xilan smiled back.
While talking, the grandmothers came over with Changsheng in their arms.
The small clothes he is wearing now are made by Meng Xilan himself. Although the style was simpler, it took her three full days to make.
When Changsheng saw her, he loved to smile, revealing the small teeth that had just erupted.
Before Meng Xilan could stretch out his hand, Zhou Youchen had already hugged him.
The three of them were happy, and the palace people retreated one after another, and they couldn't bear to disturb them.
Zhou Youchen held Changsheng's little hand, and when he saw that he was interested in the thumb on his thumb, he took it down and gave it to him. Who knows, as soon as he got his hand, he put the wrench into his mouth.
Seeing this, Meng Xilan hurriedly stopped him and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
After the wrench was taken away by Meng Xilan, Changsheng began to cry, and his little face instantly turned red, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Zhou Youchen hugged him and smiled: "You little guy, you have such a big temper!" With that, he reached out and motioned for her to hand him the wrench in his hand.
Meng Xilan shook her head and refused: "The emperor can't indulge his temperament like this." ”
"He just wants a gadget, that's okay."
"Although the child is small, his temperament must be adjusted slowly." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and wrapped the jade wrench in a handkerchief, put it on the table, and then said to Changsheng: "Come here, mother hug." ”
Changsheng's cry did not decrease, and when he reached Meng Xilan's arms, he refused to stop.
Meng Xilan looked at his little face, looked at her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, you listen to your mother, that wrench is your toy, can your mother give you something else?" ”
She carried him to the bedside, picked up the purse on the pillow, and handed it to Changsheng: "Does this purse look good?" ”
The purse is embroidered with cranes and clouds, which is very exquisite.
Changsheng stared at the purse for a few moments, and gradually stopped crying.
He took the purse in his hand, and after a while brought it to his lips and tasted it.
This time, Meng Xilan didn't stop him, and he only played alone.
Zhou Youchen shook his head with a smile: "You really have a way." ”
Meng Xilan patted Changsheng and shook it gently: "If the concubine doesn't have a little way, how can she be the mother of this child?" ”
Changsheng played with his purse, and after playing for a while, he got tired of playing with it and threw it aside.
Seeing this, Meng Xilan only said to Zhou Youchen: "Your Majesty, look at it, children are like this. Like it quickly, don't like it quickly, if it's up to him to make his temperament, he will only think this trick is easy to use in the future! ”
It's normal for children to cry and cry.
The child is growing up day by day, and she wants to teach him that crying is not the solution to the problem.
"Changsheng is the crown prince. If the concubines are not disciplined properly, they will surely cause great disasters in the future. ”
Zhou Youchen frowned slightly when he heard this: "Lan'er, you don't have to worry, Changsheng is our child, and our child will definitely not become such a mediocre and incompetent person." ”
Meng Xilan looked down at Changsheng's little face, and said quietly: "With the emperor's determination and the patience of the concubines, we will definitely be able to cultivate Changsheng well." ”
Zhou Youchen nodded, picked up the fresh oranges on the table, took them out completely, and then gave her a petal: "This is a tribute from the south, you can taste it." ”
Meng Xilan opened her mouth to eat it, and when she bit it gently, she felt sweet and delicious.
She smiled and nodded, "It's delicious." ”
Zhou Youchen also tasted a piece, and then ordered someone to come in: "Let the Internal Affairs Office send a basket of oranges to Chuxiu Palace and reward it to the jade beauty." ”
The little eunuch was ordered to go.
Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at Zhou Youchen, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the concubine has chosen the right person, this jade beauty is really liked by the emperor." ”
Zhou Youchen pursed his lips with a smile when he heard this, and broke another petal of orange and sent it to her mouth: "There are a lot of tributes, I don't want to waste them in vain." ”
Meng Xilan's eyes were gentle, and she ate the orange and said, "The emperor doesn't need to explain anything to his concubines. ”
When Zhou Youchen heard this, he only handed over all the oranges in his hand to her and said, "I'm not explaining to you. ”
Song Huaiyu's matter, he explained to the people around him, and he was not allowed to say a word. Including Gao Welfare, Gao Welfare is Meng Xilan's cronies, however, he still doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhou Youchen wanted to deliberately hide it from her, and no one dared to talk behind her back.
He looked into her eyes and knew she didn't know anything.
Her eyes were uncertain and slightly wavering, but not yet jealous.
"It's not too early, the emperor should rest early."
Zhou Youchen got up and said, "I'll go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”
Meng Xilan got up and sent him off: "The emperor walks slowly." ”
She didn't keep him, but curtsy and sent him away.
Zhou Youchen smiled a little helplessly, reached out and patted her shoulder, which was an answer.
It was still early, and Zhou Youchen did not take a sedan chair back, but walked.
Walking to the middle of the corridor near Chuxiu Palace, I suddenly heard a faint singing voice in my ears.
This place is not far from Chuxiu Palace, and this song must have come from Chuxiu Palace.
Zhou Youchen paused at his feet and stood still: "Xiao Lizi, do you know who is singing?" ”
Gao Fuli thought for a moment before replying: "Long live the master, the slave doesn't know." However, the slave heard that Master Wu was very good at singing......"
Zhou Youchen stood in place and listened quietly for a while,
Seeing this, Gao Fuli hurriedly said: "Since the emperor likes it, it is better to go directly to Chuxiu Palace to meet this Wu beauty." ”
Zhou Youchen glanced at him and saw that he had a different smile on his face.
"Okay, then let's set up the Chuxiu Palace."
Gao Welfare nodded in response.
With his sharp voice, the people in Chuxiu Palace were shocked.
Song Huaiyu was looking at the oranges on the table in a daze, but when he heard the emperor coming, he didn't know whether to panic or be frightened for a while.
And Wu Xueer, who was playing the piano and singing, was smiling.
She went to inquire on purpose, and the emperor did not stay in Cining Palace today, but walked all the way in the palace.
Thanks to the quick legs of the people sent by him, he came back before the emperor came.
Wu Xueer thought about it, and her talent was only singing and playing the piano.
She simply instructed the palace maid to set the piano, and sang with the mentality of trying it out.
When the emperor arrived, the four people of Chuxiu Palace were going to come out to greet him.
Song Huaiyu stood at the front, saluted with an uneasy expression: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
Wu Xueer and the others also knelt up together.
Zhou Youchen's gaze skimmed over them one by one, and finally stopped at Wu Xue'er.
At this hour, she is still exquisite, dressed in a fancy way, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Get up and speak." Zhou Youchen commanded lightly.
The four of them slowly stood up, and only Wu Xue'er raised her head and glanced at Zhou Youchen.
It was just a glance, but it collided with his deep gaze.
Wu Xue'er looked at Zhou Youchen's brown eyes, lost her mind slightly, and when she reacted, she hurriedly lowered her eyes again.
"Who's singing?"
Zhou Youchen asked.
Wu Xue'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, it's a slave and maid......"
Zhou Youchen smiled faintly when he heard this, but looked at Song Huaiyu and said, "Beauty, can you sing?" ”
Song Huaiyu was stunned on the spot, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "The concubine won't." ”
Zhou Youchen deliberately "tsked": "That's really a pity." I still want to hear your singing, beauty? ”
Wu Xue'er sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly glanced at the emperor's expression. Unexpectedly, as if he knew in advance, he met her gaze again.
There was no expression on his face, and he looked cold and indifferent.
Song Huaiyu's heart was pounding, and he didn't know what the emperor had in mind.
Zhou Youchen immediately instructed lightly: "Beauty, I'll go to your room and have some refreshments." ”
Song Huaiyu's whole body tensed, and he immediately nodded yes.
Wu Xue'er saw that the emperor still chose Song Huaiyu, and she was unwilling.
The emperor obviously came for the singing, however, she didn't have a chance to show her face.
"Your Majesty ......" Xu was too anxious in her heart, so she couldn't take care of it so much for a while.
Wu Xue'er took a step forward and said boldly: "If you don't dislike it, the slave can sing another song for the emperor...... Relieve the boredom of the emperor and the beautiful sister. ”
Zhou Youchen turned to look at her when he heard this: "Oh, since you are so hearty, let's come over together." ”
Together...... Song Huaiyu heard this, and his heart tightened.
She with her? What does that look like?
Wu Xue'er followed cheekily, and she made up her mind to let go.
Warm tea, delicate snacks, and beautiful companions.
Anyone will feel comfortable in this situation. However, Zhou Youchen still didn't have half a smile on his face.
Wu Xue'er lowered her head and stroked the piano, thinking to herself that she must perform well.
After she took a deep breath, she began to sing shallowly, and her voice was softer and more beautiful than she had just sounded.
Zhou Youchen listened to her singing, slowly turned her head, her eyes were firmly locked on Song Huaiyu's face, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to be completely empty.
"Beauty, how are you doing lately?"
He spoke again, startling her slightly.
"Thank you for the emperor's memory, everything is fine with the concubines." Song Huaiyu pretended to be calm.
What is good and what is bad? Now, she is anxious every day, and she has to drink those bitter decoctions that are almost difficult to swallow on time. All of this is thanks to Him!
