Chapter 7 The First Rain
After entering the palace for a period of time, the queen was in poor health, so she was exempted from the morning and dusk provinces, and Zhang Fuxin except for the occasional visit to the queen mother's palace to ask for peace, the rest were very peaceful to stay in the Yongcui Pavilion.
The end of the summer is warm, after the lunch break, there was a rush outside the courtyard, it turned out to be the imperial chief who came to pass the decree, the folds on his face deepened with the smile, "The emperor's will is to summon the talented people tonight to serve the emperor, the little lord will bathe and change clothes a little to prepare, and there will be a sedan chair to pick you up at dusk to come to the Qiancang Hall to dine with the saint." ”
This is what it means to finally go to bed.
Following the routine of receiving thanks, Zhang Fuxin felt that she was really lucky, because she was not as good as Zhao Longhua and Ban Lanbi in terms of family background in this year's rookie, and she was not as good as Zhu Jiao, who was recognized as the chosen servant, if it weren't for the fact that the incident in Huaqing Palace left some impressions on the emperor, she wouldn't have been able to go to the Qiancang Palace so quickly.
Seeing that Gao Shi hadn't left yet, Zhang Fuxin blinked, and said politely, "There is Lao Gao's father-in-law, I wanted to keep my father-in-law for a cup of tea, but I felt that my father-in-law was sure that things were busy and it was not good to cause trouble. ”
Coats's folds almost froze on his face, he didn't say anything, and followed Tang Wan out, Tang Wan seemed very enthusiastic After sending him to the door, he took off the hairpin on his head and stuffed it to him, "Presumably, Mr. Gao came to make an edict for the saint under the heat, and it was also hard, these slaves and maids invited you to drink tea." "Say goodbye to a blessed body, and go back slowly.
As soon as he came out of the Yongcui Pavilion, Xiao Guizi, the apprentice of Gaoshi, took this ordinary silver hairpin and fiddled with it and said, "This Zhang Cairen is really from a small portal, and it can't be compared with Zhao Cairen's class talent, not to mention this thing in front of the master, I don't think it's enough to see, and she can handle it." ”
When Gao Shi went to deliver the edict to Zhao Ban and the others, without exception, they all received a good amount of red envelopes, and he accepted this filial piety money as a matter of course.
And although the former head of the palace is a slave on the surface, he is actually a big eunuch who can really hold real power, and he doesn't take this group of low-ranking concubines in his eyes at all.
Starting from Emperor Taizu, he has become a smiling tiger head who is feared by the palace people and feared by the concubines.
Gao Shi sneered, "How can there be a reason for a master to give away the things of a slave and a maid, don't you see that the girl just now said that this is hers, and it is definitely not what her master meant." With that, he took the hairpin back from the little nobleman's hand.
Xiao Guizi agreed, "Then this Zhang Cairen is too ignorant." ”
Gao Shi glanced at him, "Yes, it's very impermeable, and it's strange, as soon as she entered the palace, she offended Jing Concubine but accidentally picked up the position of a talented person, she is also the first one, however, this girl can't go far." ”
Xiao Guizi listened to the side, not daring to rebel, but what he thought in his heart was: This old turtle has made so much oil and water, and he won't even give it to such a broken hairpin, so keep it and buy a coffin, phew!

After bathing and incense, Zhang Fuxin's skin was as soft as silk, and he wore the most exquisite clothes one by one, put on the most gorgeous jewelry, and dotted the most vivid lipstick, beautiful and noble like a princess in a prosperous world.
There are some things that have been dormant in her bones for a long time, and the family mission is always the heaviest shackle, and maybe even she doesn't know how majestic her ambitions are.
At the time of the palm lamp, the lanterns have sent their own brilliance, or a little bigger bean, or a bright halo, all of which indicate the exit of the day
The sedan chair outside was parked in Huaqing Palace, which was a great honor for the concubines, carrying a water-red wide-sleeved skirt, Zhang Fuxin got on the sedan chair that drove to the Qiancang Palace.
Originally, the flopping of the cards was a matter after nightfall, but the emperor didn't like to be too jerky before the first time he was lucky to be a concubine, so he sent them over early for dinner.
When she arrived in the palace, she found that the emperor was already waiting for her, so Ying Ying bowed down and said, "Concubine to Your Majesty." ”
"Excuse me."
She slowly got up, and the emperor glanced at her makeup, and couldn't help teasing, "Are you here to have dinner with me, or are you here to attend a state banquet?" ”
You must know that when Zhao Longhua and Ban Lanbi came to sleep, they all wanted to win with freshness and elegance, showing a refreshing feeling for the emperor, and the emperor looked at Zhang Fuxin and felt that she was luxurious and beautiful, but she was too deliberate.
At this time, Zhang Fuxin, who was as bright as a peach and plum, was beautiful and beautiful, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the concubine, you have so many concubines, and the concubine only has a monarch for Your Majesty, so for the concubine, the wedding night must be grand, not to mention that if Your Majesty forgets the concubine in the future, then this golden and beautiful night is the most unforgettable memory of the concubine." In fact, she originally wanted to say that there was only one husband for His Majesty, but she was afraid of offending Long Yan, so she replaced it with a monarch.
The emperor put away the ridicule and looked her squarely, "I'm not wrong, you are really articulate enough, as for whether I can remember you, it depends on your own performance." ”
She politely distinguished herself, "Concubine...... Indeed, I thought so. ”
The emperor was also noncommittal, and ordered the people below to "pass the meal." ”
The palace people came in with delicacies, a total of twenty-four dishes, Zhang Fuxin thought that his meal was only four dishes and one soup, which was a drop in the ocean.
When a palace person came up to prepare to serve them, they were stopped by Zhang Fuxin, she said, "The concubine wants to serve His Majesty in person, can you let them step down?" ”
There was no change on the emperor's face, "There are palace people to do these things, why do you have to work hard?" ”
Zhang Fuxin smiled slightly: "How can the dishes that the concubine personally clip to the emperor can be compared to the palace people?" And serving the emperor is a matter of course for concubines. ”
Hearing her say this, the emperor didn't shirk it, and waved his hand directly, "Let's go down." ”
After the palace people retreated, Zhang Fuxin served a bowl of simmering mountain chicken soup in front of him to the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty taste it." "I didn't expect to be rejected mercilessly by him" I don't want to drink soup, the fragrant abalone next to me is not bad. ”
Zhang Fuxin held his wide sleeve with one hand to avoid sweeping into the dish, and took the heavenly fragrant abalone that the emperor said with the other hand and sent it into his bowl.
The emperor took a bite but frowned, "Today's abalone is not done well, bring over the two-cooked fried fresh fish." ”
“…… Hold on. The emperor was really not good at serving, so she had to get up and look for the fish from the vast twenty-four dishes, and finally found it.
"Do talented people dare to give fish cloth to me without carefully picking the fish bones? You must know that deliberately murdering the dragon body is a big crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans. The Emperor narrowed his eyes.
He was still waiting to see Zhang Fuxin's little face that was frightened and frightened, but he didn't expect Zhang Fuxin to directly take the fish in his bowl and swallow it in one gulp, proving that the fish had no thorns, but his smile was respectful, "The concubine has tried it for you, there are no thorns."
This woman actually gave herself a strange feeling of crushing her teeth and swallowing it in her stomach, and he said, "That's it, now I want to eat pipa prawns." ”
Zhang Fuxin circled the long table, put the shrimp into the jade bowl, peeled the shrimp little by little, and removed the shrimp thread before distributing it to the emperor, "Please enjoy it, Your Majesty." This time, he didn't pick on the dishes, but just said lightly, "Keep peeling." ”
She was busy peeling shrimp and cloth vegetables back and forth, and the emperor finally felt comfortable, put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea, "I have already used it, what about the concubine?" ”
Of course not! After all, she had only eaten a bite of the fish that the emperor didn't want, but in the face of the Ninety-Five Supreme, she could only say incorrectly, "The concubine body is also ...... Full. ”
"Okay, then take it down." Anyway, Zhang Fuxin didn't have the heart to eat, and she regretted her fate even more.
-
In the inner room, the dazzling candlesticks set off the layers of shark yarn curtains, the four corners are full of luxurious ice sculptures, and a golden incense burner is placed in the center of the soft Persian carpet, and the dragon incense inside is slowly sent.
The emperor reclined on the bed and gave Zhang Fuxin a stool of fragrant sandalwood for Zhang Fuxin to sit on, "What kind of talent do you know?" ”
Zhang Fuxin came back to her senses from the dazzling flowers set by the scenery, could it be that she was referring to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she didn't have the conditions to learn the self-cultivation skills of those famous ladies since she was a child, so she could only answer honestly, "Forgive the concubine for being ignorant." ”
The emperor made no secret of his disappointment in her, "Oh, I thought you would too, because Zhao Cairen will play the flute at this time, and Bancairen will also play the piano." ”
Zhang Fuxin was not convinced, but just blinked, "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that her talent is not only piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, music, the ancients have their own golden house in the cloud book, and the concubine can tell you about "Nine Chapters" or "Fang Yu Shenglan". ”
The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, and even raised his eyebrows, "You used to read these books?" "Since ancient times, no woman has learned these things, and ordinary ladies can recognize "Female Training" and "Female Analects".
Zhang Fuxin's posture was humble, "Learn some fur." ”
The Emperor suddenly asked, "Which is your father?" ”
Referring to her mother's family, she replied meticulously: "My father is Zhang Zao, who was repaired by the Hanlin Academy. ”
The emperor thought and said, "I remembered, it was the champion of the first two sessions, or the first emperor himself, he was still the champion and the first one at a young age over the years, and he must be the only one, so I was quite impressed, I didn't expect to raise such a daughter." ”
Although Zhang Fuxin sat upright, the gentleness in his eyes and the brightness of his makeup were extremely distinct, "Your Majesty praises ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the emperor took her into his arms, his expression softened a lot, and he smiled lowly, "Are you afraid?" ”
Zhang Fuxin's cheeks were almost inexorably dyed with a thin layer of red, just like the twilight glow when she came to the Qiancang Palace, the neckline ribbon of the full-breasted skirt rose and fell with her breathing, she tried her best to calm down and said slowly, "The concubine is not afraid, whether it is a courtier or a wife, it is for Your Majesty's loyalty and unswerving. ”
The emperor pressed the concubine under him, skillfully and gently untied the belt, and whispered in her ear, "I am reluctant to let you die, I want to take you to enjoy the wealth of the world." ”
The heat in his ears made Zhang Fuxin's skin stir up a layer of crispy and numb millet,
There was a bit of cat-like cowardice in his voice, "Concubine don't want to be glorious and rich, hmm-" Zhu Ru's bloody lips were all swallowed, and his body was completely imprisoned without leaving any room.
In the drizzle outside the window, there were many sleepless nights.
