Chapter 23: Are You Acquainted with the Emperor?
Oh oh oh, here's the point!
If you want to be with the emperor, you have to pay a private visit to the palace before you can leave the palace.
With Zhuang Siyan's current identity, it seems to be a bit difficult!
But if you don't follow the emperor and the queen mother? Then the Queen Mother shouldn't have gone out much, right, to encourage her? said that the world of flowers outside is beautiful, will she take her out with her?
After thinking about it, this road can still be tried, so Lan Xin decided at the moment.
Go to the Empress Dowager An.
She had just pulled the door open, and a handsome face that couldn't be more handsome crashed into her eyes in an instant.
Zhuang Siyan was only stunned for half a second, and immediately jumped like a monkey, pulling Ling Tiancheng into the house.
"You're here, sit in the house, it's so cold outside."
Then he told Lan Xin to hurry up and pour tea.
And Lan Xin was petrified from the moment she saw Ling Tiancheng come in, her hands and feet couldn't move, her eyes were straight, her thinking was rigid, and there were only two thoughts beating in her head.
Kneel? Or not kneeling?
A kneel exposes the identity of the emperor, don't kneel? But he's the emperor!
Zhuang Siyan called her, but she didn't hear it at all, until she heard a strange cry of "chirp" in her ear, she suddenly woke up and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Then, she heard a string of "haha" laughter from her young lady.
"Lan Xin, what's wrong with you? Are you stunned when you see the handsome guy, hahaha, you are a nymphomaniac like me, forgive you, take another look and make tea. ”
Ling Tiancheng's entire face was dark.
Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with him? Why do you still let a palace maid look at him?
He didn't care how many people looked at him, after all, he had to face so many people every day, but he cared about Zhuang Siyan's attitude.
This woman, forgetting that he is the emperor and not taking the emperor in his eyes, now that she said that she was good with him, she didn't see her put herself in her heart, and she would say such a thing?
Lan Xin, who had originally gotten up, was trembling with fright when she saw Ling Tiancheng's face change, probably infected by Zhuang Siyan, so she didn't kneel down anymore, but ran away.
Of course, she didn't come back from making tea, she cowered in the corner of the kitchen, staring at the floor as if in a dream.
Zhuang Siyan didn't really have to make tea for her, but just to deal with it, seeing that Lan Xin didn't come back, Ling Tiancheng didn't look very thirsty, so he stopped him and started talking.
"Hey, Ling Xuan, how long have you been in the palace?"
Ling Tiancheng: "Several years. ”
"Oh, you must know this place well, right?"
"Almost."
"Then do you know the emperor?"
"Acquaintance."
"Hey, hey, can you say more, don't be the same as reciting the Three Character Sutra, tell me how the emperor is, are you familiar with him?"
Ling Tiancheng: "......"
Inhale, exhale, I'm not angry, I'm really not angry, I'm the Son of Heaven who rules the world, and there's nothing I can't handle.
This little woman has just forgotten who he is, and if I want to understand the emperor, it is a good thing, I should patiently tell her.
However, before he spoke, he still had something unclear, so Ling Tiancheng, who had done a good job of psychological construction, asked, "Why do you want to know about the emperor?" ”
Zhuang Siyan leaned back in his chair all of a sudden: "Hey, why else, he is the biggest in this palace, I know more, isn't it good for me?" ”
Even if you know each other, now you know that you have curry favor with me.
"And what do you want to know about him?" Ling Tiancheng asked again.
Zhuang Siyan sat up straight all of a sudden, his eyes flashed as if he was full of stars, and looked at him without blinking: "So, you are very familiar with him?" Do you know what hobbies he usually has?
Do you like to go out and play, I mean, run outside to play, outside the palace gate?
Who will they bring, eunuch? Lady-in-waiting? Or a concubine? Who do you usually bring? ”
The more Ling Tiancheng listened, the narrower his eyes became, and finally it became a piece like a knife blade, and the cold light inside was even more flickering, forming a great contrast with Zhuang Siyan's eyes.
"You want to leave the palace?" His voice was uncontrollably cold.
Regarding this matter, Zhuang Siyan is still restrained, mainly for fear of scaring her little fresh meat: "No, isn't this to inquire about the emperor's preferences?"
I thought that he must rarely go out in ordinary times, thinking that he became an emperor at such a young age, and he has been in office for two or three years, he must be watched by many people.
Not to mention going out, you probably can't eat casually, right?
It's pathetic, too, oh, isn't it? ”
She said that she was sad and merciful, and the aura of the Holy Mother was shining, but Ling Tiancheng heard that there was a chaos.
Where the hell did she hear about this, he was a child? Going out less? Being watched?
At this moment, Ling Tiancheng really wanted to find out all the people in the harem and see who it was, and he had nothing to make up such nonsense for him.
Of course, if he knew that these were the results of Zhuang Siyan's own speculation and firm belief, he might be even more annoyed.
There was no way to continue this conversation, and Ling Tiancheng already regretted coming to her.
Is it not good-looking, or is the concubine in the other palace not beautiful, and he wants to recruit this woman?
After leaving, I went back to drink a big bowl of fire tea, and then took a cold bath to remove the fire in my heart.
"Hey, Ling Xuan, why did you say just leave, you haven't answered my question yet?" Zhuang Siyan was still dragging him behind and shouted.
"I have limited time to come out, so I have to go back." Ling Tiancheng gritted his teeth.
Zhuang Siyan also had to let go: "Okay then." ”
She could actually see that Ling Xuan was in a hurry to leave, not because he didn't have time, it was probably because he had asked too many questions, which made him feel annoyed.
When he answered just now, he was a little uncertain.
Hey, it's all my fault, I was confused when I saw a handsome guy, and it was useless to talk to him about it, couldn't you have a serious relationship with a handsome guy, and talk about love?
Next time, you have to remember it longer, Zhuang Siyan, otherwise you may really become an old aunt and never get married for the rest of your life.
No, what the hell is she married? She is now the talented person of the dog emperor, even if she can't find a man in her life, no one dares to marry her!!
Is......
Could it be that she has no man in her life? Why is it so hard to get a handsome guy, or is it still such a result?
When she sighed that she couldn't help herself, Li Fu had already handed over the list to the Internal Affairs Office, and was urgently preparing what Zhuang Siyan wanted.
In the middle, the palace maid Cuizhu, who happened to be concubine Rong, came to fetch a ball of brocade thread, and saw that it was very busy inside, and the head of the internal affairs office even asked her to stand and wait, so she couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law Zhou, which palace are you going to send it to, there are four beds in the brocade quilt alone." ”
Zhou Liping was busy coming over to play haha: "Back to Miss Cuizhu, these are all Zhuang talents." ”
"Zhuang Cairen? Which Zhuang talent? The one in the cold palace? ”
Then, Zhou Liping did not answer.
Does it matter in which house? What matters is the emperor's favor.
On the list listed by Zhuang Siyan, the emperor also wrote three words in his own hand, and asked them to take them together when they sent them.
How many years has Zhou Liping been in the palace, what kind of things have he never seen? Naturally, you can see the reason at a glance.
As for why the emperor didn't let Zhuang Cairen move out of the cold palace, that was not something he should worry about.
While speaking, the brocade thread that Cuizhu wanted was also found.
Adhering to the principle that no one should be offended, Zhou Liping personally held the brocade thread to her: "Miss Cuizhu, the brocade thread has been found, if you want me to say, it is still our Rong Concubine Niangniang who is the most thrifty and hardworking, with such a noble identity, and she also sews things herself." ”
Cuizhu's face leaned upwards: "Our mother knows that everything comes from the emperor, so naturally she doesn't dare to have the slightest extravagance." ”
"That's it."
Sending Cuizhu away, Zhou Liping came back to busy with his business.
But Cuizhu's shelf at the end of the internal affairs office dispersed when she returned to Changchun Palace, she bowed her head and sent the brocade thread to Concubine Rong, and retreated silently.
"Did you encounter something with a thread for a while?" Concubine Rong picked the thread with her thin white hand and asked Cuizhu next to her.
"There is no mother, the Internal Affairs Office has misplaced it, and it took a little effort to find it."
After thinking about it, he said: "But Father-in-law Zhou is indeed a little busy over there, and he has prepared a lot of things, saying that he wants to send them to Zhuang Cairen." ”
"Zhuang Cairen? is Zhuang Changyuan's daughter, the Zhuang Siyan who was beaten into the cold palace? Concubine Rong was surprised, and suspected that she had heard it wrong, or that there was another newcomer in the palace, who happened to be surnamed Zhuang.
Cuizhu couldn't figure it out: "It should be, right?" I didn't hear about the newcomers in the palace, and I asked if it was the one in the cold palace, so Gonggong Zhou didn't speak. ”
"Hmph, what a Zhou Liping, seeing the wind makes the rudder, the master of a cold palace is stronger than our Changchun Palace."
Concubine Rong was angry for a while, and then asked as if she remembered something: "Didn't Zhuang Siyan say that it was useless?" Why is it up again now? Why is there no wind outside? ”
Cuizhu: "A few days ago, I heard that the Internal Affairs Office went to plant a few trees, and the Queen Mother seemed to have a look, but about Zhuang Cairen, there was very little mention, it seems that someone deliberately suppressed the news, if I didn't go to meet today, Gonggong Zhou wouldn't have said it." ”
"Inquire with me, and make sure you find out what's going on? A dead person can still live, Xiao Guiren is also a useless thing, and a small talent can't hold it. ”
Xiao Guiren was even more depressed than her, and moved to Lingshuang Pavilion, how close to the emperor, even the name of the palace was named after the emperor's surname, what a great honor!
Before anyone else had time to envy her, the people in the palace, whether real or fake, were preparing congratulatory gifts and wanted to come to her.
As a result, when I went to the gate of the palace, I was grounded.
No one was allowed to enter, and Xiao Guiren was not allowed to come out, and only a small eunuch was allowed to come out every day to spread the news.
What's going on? What does the emperor mean?
But no matter what, a noble person who was originally favored was suddenly grounded, which is a good thing for the women in the palace.
I wasn't very favored before, so I was busy dressing up, and I had nothing to do to hang around in the places where the emperor might pass.
In case it happens, the emperor will have a whim, and it is not certain that his fate will be rewritten from then on.
This harem has always been one day in the sky and one day underground.
So well-informed people, after unremitting efforts, inquired about the places that the emperor had frequented recently.
Too hospital and cold palace.
Although the reason is unknown, it is still okay for the palace concubines to walk around.
On this day, Lan Guiren changed into a light purple dress, combed the best bun, came out of the Tai Hospital, and walked along the road in the direction of the cold palace.
From a distance, he saw a palace maid sweeping the dried leaves in front of the door, so he asked the palace maid to go over and ask.
"What's your name, in which palace?"
Lan Xin saw that the person who came was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he knelt down when he was busy: "Slave Lan Xin, she is a palace person who is a talented person in the cold palace." ”
"Slap" was a crisp slap, and it hit Lan Xin's face.
