nineteen
Cuifang was taken to a small dresser, and Feng Bao was outside to order her to change her clothes. Of course, she knew what the emperor wanted, she dressed so brightly, and took away her original clothes, just so that the queen mother could see it, and she was unhappy.
Cuifang was thinking more about the emperor's actions just now, the emperor's hand was warm and powerful, holding her like this, but it made her have a lot of thoughts in her heart.
Cuifang put on her clothes and deliberately smeared makeup on her face. Her foundation is good-looking, but she is used to being a subordinate, and the skin on her face is a little rough, as long as she covers it with makeup, she looks good. Cuifang thought that she could always amaze the emperor, so she put on makeup.
Feng Bao looked at Cuifang's appearance, but just asked her to change her clothes, she was dressed up so exquisitely, and said in her heart that this Cuifang girl didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp.
Feng Bao brought Cuifang to the emperor, and the emperor took a look, and was really shocked, thinking that Cuifang looked good dressed up, but he just thought like this: "Okay, I'm going to the queen's palace, you can go back." ”
Cuifang returned to Cining Palace, but the Queen Mother did not come back in Qianqiu Pavilion. She panicked and wanted to change her clothes, but she didn't want to bump into Mama Liu, who came back to pick up jewelry.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Mama Liu saw her dressed like a concubine, "There are no rules in my eyes!" ”
Cuifang knelt down: "Mama Liu, it's not a slave like this, it's the emperor who has to wear a slave like this, and the queen mother is angry!" ”
"Let's go change!" Mama Liu found the jewelry and came out, and heard Cuifang say that this was the emperor's meaning and left in a hurry.
Cuifang saw that Mama Liu was gone, took away the little palace maid, and went straight into the queen mother's bedroom. Cuifang stood in front of the dresser, admiring herself in the bronze mirror, feeling that she was charming, as long as she had the opportunity, the emperor would definitely be emotional about her. As long as there is such an opportunity, she will seize it firmly and leap on the branch.
Mama Liu hurriedly took the jewelry to the Qianqiu Pavilion, and the Queen Mother picked it up and put it on the dream in person: "It's good-looking." Do you know who gave this pair of provocations and distractions to the mourners? ”
Dream shook his head.
"This was given to the mourning family by the emperor, and the mourning family has treasured it for many years, and it has always been reluctant. Now I will give you such a heavy reward, I just want you to be like this today in the future, so that the mourning family can rest assured. ”
The dream thanked him, and looked up to see Mama Liu giving the Queen Mother a look. The Queen Mother saw it and said, "It's not early, the mourning family has returned to the palace, you can go back too." ”
The Queen Mother helped Mama Liu to return to the palace slowly, and asked on the way, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, Cuifang came back, and she didn't look like a palace maid when she was dressed up. She said that the emperor insisted on letting her do this in order to fight with the Queen Mother! ”
The Queen Mother snorted: "Hmph, the emperor is nineteen years old, and he is still a child." Serving tea, the mourning family will never compromise, how can Ming'er Cuifang come back and send Cuifang how to go, the mourning family wants him to know that the favorite concubine is misguided, even if he is favored, he can't always be by his side. ”
"This Zheng Mengjing is so favored if he can't sleep, if he gives birth to a prince in the future, it's unimaginable......" Mama Liu muttered to herself, and when the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't think so: "She doesn't know anything about her father, and she doesn't ask much, but she saves a lot of trouble." Since the emperor favors him, let him pet him for two years, and let's talk about it later. ”
"I smelled the fragrance before I came, and I guessed that Sister Qiao was eating in the small kitchen." The dream was seduced by the aroma and went to the small kitchen, and she was too nervous and consumed too much in front of the Queen Mother, she just wanted to have a good dinner.
Wang Qiao came out of the kitchen, her personal palace maid Ju Zhi was smiling, and was busy bringing the dishes out, Li Jinghan came out to take over the dishes, and asked Ju Zhi to help the small kitchen, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy with their own, and the entire Zhongcui Palace was as harmonious as ordinary people.
"Just your nose, go and sit down, and you'll be right away. Qiao'er's cooking skills are amazing, and she brought out a plate of meat, "Today's highlight is this fried bone!" The hot oil was poured on the pork bones and was still steaming, and when it was brought to the table, Wang Qiao went to the kitchen to bring out three bowls of rice wrapped in lotus leaves, which were fragrant.
Wang Qiao's father was originally from Guangdong, and later entered the dynasty as a brocade guard, Wang Qiao said that their hometown loves to eat lotus leaf rice, and today I thought about this dish, so I simply took the chrysanthemum branch to the palace garden to pick several lotus leaves, washed them, wrapped in rice and steamed them.
The three of them sat down around the dining table and ate a bite of lotus leaf rice in their dreams: "It's so fragrant, Sister Qiao is really amazing!" ”
"The breath of this summer is all in the bowl, and it is appetizing." Li Jinghan also received it.
Wang Qiao then remembered the strange incident this afternoon: "On the way to pick lotus leaves in the flower pond of the palace garden this afternoon, I saw a large number of people standing there, led by the eunuch Feng Gonggong next to the emperor, and I don't know what to wait for, it is very strange." ”
"And that kind of thing?" When Li Jinghan heard that it was related to the emperor, her eyes widened with curiosity. Dream was eating, and knowing what was going on, she choked hard and drank several mouthfuls of soup.
"By the way, isn't the dream serving tea by the emperor's side, you are so excited, but what do you know?" Wang Qiao asked with Shun Mengjing's back.
"This ......" the dream felt unspeakable, and said that the emperor dragged himself to the palace garden, which seemed to show off, not to mention that it looked contrived. She thought for a while, and could only say: "I serve half of the tea, and the emperor said that he would go out for a walk, and I don't know the rest." ”
"You didn't go?" Li Jinghan asked.
"How can I go, I was called by the Queen Mother to give a lecture. The emperor had a headache and went out to relax, and Gonggong Feng followed him, but the emperor thought there were too many of them, so he asked them to stand and wait. ”
"What? The emperor has a headache? "What, you were reprimanded by the Queen Mother?" The two of them asked almost at the same time, Wang Qiao was concerned about whether the dream was punished, and further asked, "What did the Queen Mother say?" Why do you have to lecture in a good way? Did you punish anything? ”
"Not really, it's just that I'm dissatisfied with serving tea every day."
Li Jinghan asked the emperor to no avail, and sullenly aside: "Look at the jewelry she wears on her head, it is so good-looking, it is rewarded by the emperor at first glance." You are so swaggering, how can the Queen Mother be satisfied. Li Jinghan's tone was a little sour, and she subconsciously glanced at her when she heard the dream.
Wang Qiaocai noticed the distraction on her head: "It's so beautiful, the emperor rewarded it so well, I think it's my sister's blue eyes!" ”
"Sister, it's not the emperor's reward, it's the queen mother's reward." The dream lowered her head, all because she remembered what the Queen Mother said about her father, she always felt that she had not noticed something, but she couldn't think of it.
"I'm a little confused, didn't my sister say that the Queen Mother reprimanded you, why did she reward you with things?" Wang Qiao scratched his head.
"It's a long story, don't talk about it," Dream smiled, "Eat and eat, eat without saying anything, how can you forget it after a few days of teaching?" ”
The dream pretended to be relaxed, imitating the tone of the grandmother, which made the other two laugh, and the atmosphere improved slightly.
