Chapter 137: Rare Warmth
Pei Shuang was a little uneasy, and asked calmly but vigilantly: "Isn't it the emperor's will to let my mother come to listen to the play?" Why do you want to go to the study again? ”
The aunt stopped a little and said with a smile: "If you are a concubine, please don't be surprised, there are few palace people serving in Qixiang Palace, and it is inevitable that they will be clumsy, and the stage is not ready at this time." The emperor is talking in the study with a few maids, and hereby asks the slave Cuizhi to lead the way. ”
It's good not to say such so-called polite words, Pei Shuang heard the sound of the strings angrily. "Where did Aunt Cuizhi speak, the people selected by the Internal Affairs Office for Qixiang Palace are all smart, smooth, and articulate minions. How can there be clumsy, even if there is, after being trained by a scheming person like my aunt, it must be outstanding. If you want to have it in the palace next to it, I'm afraid it's difficult! ”
Cuizhi's face was a little unbearable, and she smiled slightly: "The girl is too careful, where can the slave and maid have such a meaning." ”
"Do you have an aunt who knows it in her heart." Pei Shuang raised his face, looked at the palace people standing on the corridor with contempt, and couldn't help but say: "Although this Qixiang Palace is rewarded to the Kang nobles and Li nobles to live in. But in the end, it is also the category of the six palaces, and we are like concubines and mothers, who have always been fair, and we should treat everyone equally.
If the two nobles feel that there is not enough manpower to serve, they can make it clear to the queen and then allocate manpower. You don't have to say these nasty things to your face. ”
"If the concubine forgives her sins, it is the slave who is too talkative." Cuizhi saw that Pei Shuang was really angry, and he made a lot of losses.
Ruyue's expression couldn't see clearly, and she was so irritable when she heard it at this time. "Peishuang, it's really yours to be so serious."
"Yes, miss." Pei Shuang glanced at Cuizhi before he closed his mouth stupidly. Of course, she also knew in her heart that Miss didn't really blame herself. It's just that there are some words that the dignified concubine can't pronounce it, and she must be this black face. Otherwise, everything will be held in the heart of the young lady alone, and she will not be uncomfortable.
Thinking like this, Pei Shuang's heart suddenly became very steady, as long as she was by Miss's side for a day, no one was allowed to bully Miss! With this heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Pei Shuang only felt very happy.
"I heard in this palace that the Kang nobles and the Li nobles entered the palace and only brought three maids. Cuizhi, you are from the Qingjun Palace, and you can be regarded as the slaves and maids of the two nobles. Ruyue's expression was calm, and Zhu Ji said slowly: "And the relationship between this palace and Qingjun Wang Fujin, I think you also know." ”
Cuizhi couldn't help but nodded, and responded: "The slave knows." ”
"It is precisely because of the relationship between King Fujin of Qingjun that he is the sister of the palace in-laws. This palace has to be more open-minded. If not, how many pairs of eyes are there in this harem, and the backbone of this palace is about to be broken. Speaking of this, Ruyue's smile was a little colder, and there was a daunting seriousness between her eyebrows.
"What kind of status a noble person is, what kind of treatment he should have. The emperor must know this in his heart. ”
"Yes, yes, mother, you are very right. The slave and maid are just talking, and they don't mean anything. Please also be like a concubine! "Cui Zhirao is the first time to deal with the master and servant of the concubine, and this black and white mouth is the Tao. I'm afraid that even the queen mother is here, so I have to pay tribute to three points. What's more, his master is just a nobleman.
Thinking of this, Cuizhi had to look at it and said calmly: "The study is here, please turn left." ”
Pei Shuangsheng glanced at Cuizhi coldly, and then said, "Aunt Lao is leading the way." ”
"The slave and maid stop here, please go into the study by yourself. Please forgive me, I really don't dare to go in if I don't get the word out. Cuizhi timidly stopped.
Ruyue finally smiled with satisfaction, and her delicate red lips were like blooming petals: "That's right, this palace likes people who know how to advance and retreat." ”
"Your Majesty, look, Xiaowei is smiling at you." Concubine Zhuang's voice is still round and full through the door of the study, and it is very transparent. When Ruyue heard this, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
The palace people standing outside the door saluted, and their mouths were as respectful as the concubines' ten thousand blessings, and they did not dare to delay for a moment to open the door.
At a glance, I saw the son of heaven in a bright yellow dragon robe all his life, affectionately and warmly teasing the smile in his arms, and the color on Ruyue's face finally left only a bright and brilliant smile, which warmed people's hearts. "The concubine greets the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."
"Those who look forward to the stars and the moon can be regarded as looking forward to you. Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you hugged Xiaowei? As soon as Concubine Zhuang saw Ruyue coming, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared a lot: "Seeing that we Xiaowei is one year old, we can walk a few steps steadily, but you are good, as if you don't want to come to see her." It makes my heart sour. ”
The emperor was overjoyed when he saw Xiaowei, and his eyes were full of fatherly feelings, and it took a long time to look at Ruyue. "It's not good for me, Su Chun (Concubine Zhuang) is to blame me. For a while, the queen was not in good health, her old illness recurred, and the trivial matters of the harem were handed over to Ruyue to take care of. It's hard for her to even have time to see her daughter.
As a mother, there is no reason not to want to. Fortunately, you are behind her and take care of Xiaowei so well for her. I am very relieved. ”
Ruyue dared to step forward, and sure enough, what Concubine Zhuang said was not wrong at all, she hadn't seen her for a few days, and Xiaowei seemed to be a lot tougher. "Thank you for your understanding. In fact, if it weren't for Sister Zhuang's careful care, the concubine would not dare to leave Xiaowei half a step. ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Ruyue's praise. "When I was for you? Not really! If it weren't for our cute smile, like a little sugar man, I wouldn't love it like this no matter how much benefit I have. ”
Concubine Cheng's smile also became thicker: "Isn't it, Xiaowei and Concubine Ru are simply printed in one mold." Delicate and cute, she must be a beauty of the role when she grows up, and she is really envious of others. ”
At this time, Ruyue realized that the two sisters of the Liu family, Enfei and Wanyan were not in the study. I had to ask: "The concubine originally wanted to go to Sister Zhuang's Yonghe Palace to sit, but on the way she met a concubine and a noble person who came to Qixiang Palace."
Why didn't he accompany the emperor at this time? It's just the others, then the noble man still has a body, so he won't follow the noble Kang and the noble man to prepare for the fine kung fu. If this is the case, I am afraid that the emperor will be distressed. ”
As he spoke, the light at the end of Ruyue's eyes flashed, and it was in the eyes of the emperor. That delicate appearance is extremely naughty but dignified, and it is pure and beautiful.
The emperor was a little itchy, and his warm smile became more and more pleasant, and he said with great interest: "In front of me, there are stunning beauties like you and Xiaowei, where can I take care of others." "Oops, oops. Concubine Zhuang hurriedly covered Xiaowei's small ears: "The emperor is really, if there is such a friendship, can you just tell our sister Ruyue alone when no one is there?" In front of everyone, I'm not ashamed. We're laughing, we're still so young! ”
Giggling, Xiaowei didn't know what the adults were talking about, but she was infected by such an atmosphere. Concubine Zhuang's hand touched her small ears, and she smiled and bent her eyebrows, like a cute elf.
Ruyue's heart has melted, how good would it be if this situation could last for a long time? The husband is by his side, and his daughter is also on his lap. There is nothing more enjoyable than a day like this. "Sister Zhuang laughed at me."
"Look, we're like concubines, too!" Concubine Zhuang is not relenting, but wants to make fun of Ruyue. "In this way, it is our Xiaowei who is the most shy, and how happy she looks."
"Your Majesty, let the concubines hug Xiaowei." Ruyue smiled and reached out to support the daughter in the emperor's arms. Xiaowei turned her head and really met her watery eyes. The little one was stunned for a moment, then giggled. He opened his arms generously and went towards Ruyue's arms.
"Sure enough, it's a mother and daughter, born with intimacy. Even if I haven't seen him for a few days, I'm afraid that this strong affection will not be able to dissolve. "Concubine Zhuang is a little surprised, but what she says is the truth.
Ruyue's face was attached to Xiaowei's soft cheeks, full of warmth: "Sister Zhuang is jealous, Xiaowei, did you hear that?" Your mother is jealous! ”
"Why!" Concubine Zhuang flattened her mouth and said, "Xiaowei is also very close to me." If you don't see me for a while, you won't sleep well. It's just that you don't know. ”
The emperor held Concubine Zhuang's hand and rested it affectionately in his palm: "I know that you treat Xiaowei very well, and I am grateful to you for being so generous. ”
I didn't expect the emperor to say such thoughtful things in front of everyone. Concubine Zhuang's face suddenly became hot, and even her ears felt red. "Your Majesty, you are really ......" The circles in her eyes were slightly red, and Concubine Zhuang's biggest regret was that she couldn't extend her heirs for the emperor. I don't want to see everything I did, the emperor sees it, this kind of gratitude is not as hot as love.
But it is enough to warm a cold and lost heart.
"I'm very relieved." The emperor's hand had no intention of letting go, and he clenched Concubine Zhuang's soft jade hand more and more hard.
Just as he was talking lively, it was Cuizhi who walked in gently. "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the stage is ready."
The emperor's favorite thing is to listen to the play, and he is in a good mood at this time, so he stood up happily: "Then move to the back garden to listen to the play." It's just lukewarm today, and it's comfortable to listen to the play. ”
Holding Concubine Zhuang's hand, he still didn't let go, and took advantage of the situation to lead the beauty: "Su Chun, let's go and take a look first." ”
Concubine Zhuang was overjoyed and walked out lightly behind the emperor. "Ruyue, you come with Xiaowei and hurry up." Concubine Cheng also got up with a smile, and Ruyue was beside her: "The concubine accompanied the mother to hug the little princess and listen to the play together." ”
Ruyue nodded, always feeling that such a happy scene was a little unreal.
