Chapter 54: A Beautiful Day
Outsiders in the harem cannot enter or exit, let alone have a mysterious bedroom, and as for the palace and concubines, they have corresponding residences, and it is impossible to stay in other places.
Looking at the emperor's reaction, it is obvious that he knew that there was a bedroom here before he brought himself up, so there was only one possibility-
"Does the emperor also like to sleep on the tower?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Do you only like to sleep on the tower?" ”
Su Youyi shook her head, "That's not the case, I thought that the emperor had been pampered since he was a child, and he wouldn't like such a humble place." When the concubine was a child, she accompanied her father in the countryside, where there were wheat fields and high grain stacks, and the concubines fell asleep on the grain stacks many times. From the battlements, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the air in the wind is sweet. Therefore, the concubine felt very cordial when she came to this tower, and felt that the wind here was the same as the wind when she was a child. ”
She is because she touches the scene, and what is the reason for the emperor?
The emperor suddenly relaxed his arms, and the whole person lay beside her, and the open window blew in a gust of night breeze, which was so comfortable that people wanted to fall asleep.
He whispered, "I'm similar to you, and here are memories of my childhood. You've probably heard that the first emperor liked to come here to see the stars, but he came alone most of the time and rarely brought others. He had only brought me once, when I was still young, and I fell asleep after watching excitedly for a while. I woke up in the middle of the night in a daze and found my father sleeping next to me. ”
He stretched out his hand and stroked the bed under him, "The bed is not big, I and my father slept just right, and I didn't even dare to turn over." But do you know how excited I was then? It was the only time in my life that I slept with my father. ”
Su Youyi never expected that this tower would have such a profound meaning to the emperor, and from his restrained voice, she could still hear the emperor's admiration for the emperor.
It was a child born in the royal family who lacked family affection, put aside all identities, and only missed his father as a son.
It's a pity that the first emperor has long since passed away, and the emperor looks majestic, but in fact he is also a fatherless and motherless child.
Su Youyi suddenly felt unbearable, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the deceased is gone, but he will turn into a star and look at the emperor in the sky and bless the emperor." The concubine's parents are also gone early, but the concubine has always believed that they are watching the concubine from heaven. ”
The emperor suddenly shivered and sat up from the bed.
Su Youyi hurriedly sat up with him, not knowing what she said wrong to make the emperor so excited, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine."
The emperor said in a low voice: "I just thought of one thing from your words, and thought of why the first emperor often came to see the stars. ”
Outside the window, the stars reflect each other, forming a sea of light and a brilliant Milky Way.
Before Su Youyi could ask, the emperor turned around and pressed her down on the bed, "It's rare that you and I both like it here, the beautiful scenery of the good day, how can you easily live up to it?" ”
In the middle of the night, the emperor woke up again.
Maybe it was because he slept here with the first emperor when he was a child, and he woke up in the middle of the night to find the first emperor beside him, and since then he has developed a habit that as long as he sleeps here at night, he will definitely wake up in the middle of the night.
Tonight was different, he was not awakened, but pushed by the people around him.
When he woke up, he still felt a little unreal, he couldn't imagine that he slept so peacefully tonight, and he didn't want Su Youyi to disturb his good dreams so uninterestingly.
He turned his head unhappily and realized that Su Youyi did not deliberately wake him up, but acted unconsciously in his sleep.
The top floor of the tower is ventilated on all sides, and the emperor is a strong man who doesn't think there is anything wrong, but Su Youyi is a weak woman, she feels cool when she first comes, and she naturally feels cold in the second half of the night.
As soon as she was cold, she shrank towards herself, her whole body curled up in a ball, and she looked very uneasy in her dreams.
The emperor frowned slightly, wrapped her tightly with a brocade quilt, and reached out to hold her in his arms, and it took a while before the arms gradually calmed down.
He doesn't come to the harem much on weekdays, and after the concubines go to the Qianqing Palace to sleep, he often sends people to send them back to his palace, and rarely sleeps with them until dawn.
Somehow, he was willing to hold Su Youyi tonight, and he didn't have any offensive thoughts in his mind.
Su Youyi is a blank sheet of paper, there is no intertwined stakes of her mother's family, nor is she bent on climbing the dragon and the phoenix, she has the heart of self-preservation at most.
Even this is not a scheming careful thought, she has a showdown, bargaining with herself for a secure position.
How could he let her be let down with all this little thought?
Taking off the mask of daytime guards, the moonlight shone obliquely into the window, and the emperor's face was covered with a layer of gentle light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling.
Su Youyi seemed to go back to her childhood in her dreams, whenever she fell asleep on the high grain stack, her father would carry a worn-out lantern to the fields to look for her, and then carry her back home from her sleep.
Her father's embrace was so wide and warm, she couldn't help but laugh in her dream, "Father, father, let's go home......"
The emperor suddenly heard her dream words, was slightly stunned, and stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for her as if nothing had happened.
……
Early the next morning, Su Youyi woke up and saw the crimson on the top of her head for the first time. Cheer tent.
There are no bed tents on the top floor of the tower.
She hurriedly got up, opened the bed tent and looked out, she was indeed lying in her bedroom, and the footsteps of the palace people came from outside the door.
"Your nobleman is awake?"
Shuya came in with a copper basin for washing her face, smiling happily, "The noble man woke up so early, and the slave was about to call you." Today, as usual, I want to go to the queen to say goodbye, it's not good to go late. ”
Su Youyi said: "What time is it?" Am I not in the tower, when did I come back? ”
Shuya said: "It's the right time, the emperor went to the court at the beginning of the day, and he personally took the nobleman down from the tower." ”
Su Youyi got up to change her clothes, and when she thought of what happened on the tower last night, she felt a little strange in her heart.
She was forced to be this nobleman, why did she feel a little sweet after going to bed last night?
Shuya groomed her and said with a smile: "The noble man doesn't know how well the emperor treats you, not only hugging you down with his own hands, but also telling you not to wake you up." It was the chief manager who served the emperor to freshen up, and the chief manager said that in the past, the concubines were fortunate to be by the emperor's side until dawn, and they would definitely get up early to serve the emperor. Only the nobles have this face, and they can still lie down when the emperor gets up. ”
Su Youyi said lightly: "I slept late last night, the emperor should always be a little sympathetic, why are you embarrassed to let me get up early to serve him?" ”
She became more and more unkind to the emperor in her words, but Shuya was keenly aware that this was a sign that the relationship between the two was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't help but rejoice.
