Chapter 35: Sharing the Bed
"Restless sleep?"
In the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, so he will sleep restlessly, does the queen want her husband to sing with her wife?" β
The eldest princess Huai Ke was sitting on the embroidery pier next to her and was embroidering a fan, and a few wisps of worry appeared on her face, "Eniang, don't take this as a joke, the queen is not young anymore, but ...... It's not necessarily impossible. As the saying goes, the old clam can still carry pearls.
Concubine Qi pursed her lips with a look of disdain: "Even if she can still give birth, the emperor must be willing to cooperate, otherwise she will ...... alone" Concubine Qi couldn't help but chuckle lowly.
Princess Huaike is still young, and when she heard such explicit words, she couldn't help blushing, "Eniang! β
Concubine Qi also knew that she shouldn't say such things in front of her daughter, so she hurriedly coughed twice, "In the early years, when she was in the Qiandi, didn't she never get pregnant again, and now she is in her thirties, and she is even more delusional." β
The chief eunuch Xu Delu said in a low voice: "It's not the only one who has a mind floating because of the changes in Yongshou Palace, Chuxiu Palace...... I have just summoned the imperial doctor, saying that it is warm and cold in spring, and my body is not refreshing. β
Concubine Qi's face sank, "Concubine Ning?!" β
Xu Delu said: "Concubine Ning's age is younger than the nobles of Yongshou Palace. β
Concubine Qi suddenly giggled, "What kind of spring breeze is blowing, everyone is daydreaming!" An old nobleman who is almost thirty coaxed the emperor to give a gynecological doctor to regulate his body, but he provoked the Middle Palace and Chuxiu Palace to follow suit. β
Hearing that Concubine Qi was talking more and more unseemly, Huai Ke frowned her delicate moth eyebrows, "Eniang, don't say it!" β
Concubine Qi covered the corners of her lips in embarrassment, "Xuan'er, you are not young anymore, when you Khan Ama is not only served, it is time to get married." Don't always stuff yourself in the palace, go to the queen mother and the imperial concubine more when you have nothing to do, and have more contact with the third princess and the second princess. β
The eldest princess Huai Ke is the only daughter of the current emperor, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he specially adopted the concubine of the late deposed prince and the eldest daughter of the late Prince Lian as adopted daughters.
Princess Shushen is only two years younger than the eldest princess Huaike, and she is already fourteen. As for Princess Duanrou, she has just turned ten years old.
Although the two adopted daughters and princesses were raised under the knees of the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, their Ama were both rebellious sons who were disgusted by the previous emperor, so the two have always been cautious, serving the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine with one mind, and rarely going out.
Huai Ke was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Eniang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second sister is going to caress for me, I ...... I'm really ashamed to see her. β
Concubine Qi said lightly: "Shushen is the daughter of the abolished prince, if she is not adopted as an adopted daughter by your Khan Ama, she will be a Heshuo Gege in the sky, and nine times out of ten she will also be cared for." Now she can be caressed as a princess, all thanks to you! Where do you owe her half a point? Instead, she should be grateful to you! β
Concubine Qi's arrogant words did not comfort Huai Ke, and Huai Ke said softly: "Eniang, if you don't enter the palace, the second sister may not necessarily be cared for." "Second sister, that's the grandson of the abolished princess Guerjia, when the first emperor was alive, she was obviously the most noble of all the emperor's granddaughters, but now she has ...... Huai Ke couldn't help but feel pity.
Concubine Qi pouted, "Even if she doesn't caress Meng, can she marry the daughter of a waste prince?" Who wants to have anything to do with the abolished prince now? β
Huai Ke couldn't help but be silent, the situation of the second sister is indeed not a good marriage no matter what.
"Alright, alright!" Concubine Qi felt sorry for her sad daughter, so she said: "If you don't want to see Shushen, you can go to Cining Palace more, get close to Duanrou, and be filial to the Queen Mother more." β
Hearing this, Huai Ke nodded, "Yes, Eniang." β
Yao Jiaxin, who spent her aunt period in Yongshou Palace, still doesn't know how many people in the harem have her minds floating. Needless to say, the queen and Ning Concubine, many conceited nobles, often there, and promised to seek nourishing prescriptions from the imperial doctor, with the intention of helping to conceive.
After cleaning her body, Yao Jiaxin took advantage of the warmth of the afternoon to take a walk in the huge courtyard of Yongshou Palace to enjoy the flowers.
In addition to the four seasons of laurel blooming very well, the flower room also sent new cyclamen and junzi orchid, all of which were rested on the platform outside the main hall of the sunrise. The two pots of cyclamen are red and purple, the color is bright and positive, and the flowers bloom into a large cluster, which is called a dazzling one, and although the flowers of the junzi orchid are not showy enough, you can see how many years it has been carefully maintained.
Yao Jiaxin was idle and had nothing to do, and she deliberately went to count it, and that Junzi Orchid had eighteen pairs of leaves!
was fiddling with the orange flower clusters of Junzi Lan, Su Yu suddenly tugged at her sleeve, "Long live the lord!" β
Yao Jiaxin was shocked again, almost didn't break the flower bones of Junzi Orchid, and hurriedly turned around, isn't it the iceberg face of His Majesty the Fourth Master staring at the dark circles? Today, the fourth master seems to be out of the forest again.
She asked for peace, "The emperor is blessed!" "βand no one passed it on! She wondered if His Majesty the Fourth Master had a bad taste, so she liked to raid and scary!
But...... Obviously, I haven't heard that His Majesty the Fourth Master has scared others like this.
Yin Zhen looked at Yao Jiashi, a little displeased: "Why didn't you take a nap?" β
"Huh??" Yao Jiaxin really can't match the brainwave frequency of His Majesty the Fourth Master, so what's wrong if I don't take a nap? Why do you feel that not taking a nap is like raising a cat in the eyes of the fourth master, which hurts the sky? QAQ~
Yin Zhen saw Yao Jia's stupid appearance, and became even more angry. His Majesty the Fourth Master tossed and turned last night and finally fell asleep, but he only woke up after sleeping for two hours. Yinzhen has summed up the rules, if he doesn't come to Yao Jia's bed for a long time, he will be more and more unstable day by day.
So Yinzhen took advantage of noon to come to Yongshou Palace, and as a result, Yao Jia's family was actually in good spirits to enjoy the flowers! She, actuallyβno, no, no, sleep!
Damn it!
Feeling the low pressure emanating from His Majesty the Fourth Master, Yao Jiaxin straightened her neck, and she said cautiously: "The emperor doesn't look very good, but yesterday he was too late to approve the excerpts, and he couldn't have a good rest?" β
Yinzhen did not admit it, nor did he refute it.
Yao Jiaxin took it as a default, so she said with a flattering face: "The former Wang Yicheng has just cleaned up the main hall, why don't you wait for the concubine to wait for the emperor to go up and take a nap inside." β
Yin Zhen was very satisfied with Yao Jia's knowledge, "It's okay." β
The main hall of Yongshou Palace is indeed much more luxurious and spacious than Yao Jiaxin's side hall, with five rooms wide, the middle is the bright room, the two sides are the east and west secondary rooms, and then the two sides are the east and west branches.
The east corner is the bedroom for night rest, if you take a nap during the day or something, you can take a nap in the second room on the arhat couch. But the fourth master went directly inside, and Yao Jiaxin could only follow in. - Well, the light is dim, and the bed is big enough, of course, more comfortable than falling asleep in the second room.
Yao Jiaxin waited for His Majesty the Fourth Master like a maid to widen her robe and take off her dragon boots - she has never taken off her shoes for a man in her life! But after thinking about it, if it was the queen who had to serve the fourth master like this, my heart felt a lot more comfortable, and His Majesty the fourth master had no foot foot......
This bed is very large, it is a standard pull-out bed, also commonly known as the "eight-step bed", with a length of eight steps, and can sleep at least eight people.
Yao Jiaxin actually likes this kind of finely carved mahogany stepping bed, you can roll around as much as you like when you sleep on it, and it feels cool to think about it. But now the bed doesn't belong to her.
The fine brocade tent hung down, and the light in the bed was dim.
Yao Jiaxin helped His Majesty the Fourth Master tuck the corners of the quilt, and was about to retreat, but His Majesty the Fourth Master grabbed his slender wrist, and his voice was low and displeased: "Where are you going?" In Yinzhen's eyes, Yao Jiashi is the only medicine that can cure his insomnia, and he must take it regularly (the medicine can't be stopped), he came to take the medicine on purpose, how could he let this medicine run away?
Yao Jiaxin was stunned, I can't leave with me, I have to stay here and wait?
So she said obediently: "The emperor can sleep in peace, the concubine is not going anywhere, just waiting here." β
His Majesty the Fourth Master patted the empty quilt on his side, "You can sleep for a while." β
Yes?
This is an invitation to share her bed??
Yao Jiaxin suddenly felt a little weird, although she had "shared a bed" once before, but ...... How do you feel that the purpose of His Majesty the Fourth Master's visit is to find her to sleep with her? And it's the kind that covers the quilt and sleeps purely......
It's pure.
