065. Second Temptation
Looking at Mu Ziheng's expectant expression, Luo Ge was very satisfied with her plan and disfigured. Mu Ziheng and Han Yu, who had not spoken, agreed to her plan.
Luoge's plan began to be implemented the next day. Although she said that she was not happy, she did it anyway.
Mu Ziqin received a message from Zhaochun Palace after the morning dynasty and invited him to go to Zhaochun Palace for lunch.
Faced with the sudden invitation, Mu Ziqin's suspicions that he had had last night became heavier.
"Do you think Lone should go?" Mu Ziqin looked at the waiter who came to report and asked Wang Fuhai beside him in a low voice.
"Go, Your Majesty."
"Why?"
Wang Fuhai was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. Looking at his appearance, Mu Ziqin asked him to speak. However, Wang Fuhai couldn't guess his thoughts, so he waited for a while when he spoke.
"Didn't the king say that Concubine De Niangniang was the first detailed Dong Ge of the Qianji Pavilion of Su Qianguo, then the old slave used the eyeliner in the Inner Service Bureau according to the ancestral system, and the old slave wanted to find some clues from Concubine De's daily life. However, the old slave tried several times and had no chance to insert the arranged person into it. Today, if the king goes up, he can not only find out the purpose of this mother, but also insert eyeliner into it. ”
After Wang Fuhai finished speaking quickly, he kept hunched over and waited.
After Mu Ziqin listened to his words, he was very unhappy. Because from the time he was young, he knew that there was such an ancestral system. At the earliest, this kind of regulation was made so that the monarch could know the situation of the entire harem to the greatest extent, but later because of the situation of the autocracy of the inner servants, the eyeliner of the inner servant bureau has not been used by the monarchs of the three dynasties recently.
Today, Wang Fuhai boldly proposed to open it. Mu Ziqin couldn't guess his purpose for doing this, but it would always make him more or less mindful in his heart. Although he had arranged for Han Yu to be her maidservant to monitor her before, this was something on the surface, and in the final analysis, there was still a possibility that she could not be monitored. Therefore, the eyeliner of this inner servant bureau is also a temptation for him...... It's also good for him to use.
Seeing that the people who came to invite him would have to wait for half an hour, Wang Fuhai said, "Your Majesty, it's almost lunch time. Don't let Concubine De wait. ”
Mu Ziqin knew that in addition to Luo Ge, there was also Wang Fuhai who was in a hurry. He didn't speak, and went directly to Zhaochun Palace. On the way there, Wang Fuhai tried to mention eyeliner again, but Mu Ziqin lightly bypassed. In the end, I had to give up.
The chamberlain who came to invite Mu Ziqin ran back to Zhaochun Palace as early as the first moment he went out.
Zhaochun Palace received the news that Mu Ziqin was coming, and he was busy inside and out. Today's lunch was all prepared by Luo Ge himself, in order to attract Mu Ziqin's attention.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Luo Ge played a small drum in her heart, and the palace maids who came in and out on the side made her even more nervous.
"The king has arrived."
When the drum in Luo Ge's heart hit his throat, the news of Mu Ziqindao also came in. Luo Ge got up anxiously, pulled Han Yu behind him, and asked, "Is the clothes worn in this palace okay?" ”
"Niangniang, you have asked the slave maid more than ten times since you prepared lunch today. The slave and maid are sure that there is nothing wrong with your clothes and headdress, and you can just go to the king. ”
"That'll be fine." Luo Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and then led everyone to the gate to wait for Mu Ziqin.
Mu Ziqin's expression was not very good when he came in, which made Luo Ge, who was still confident, nervous.
"The concubine has seen the king." Before Luo Ge's words fell, Mu Ziqin directly stepped forward to help her up, and without saying a word, he led her directly into the Hanxiang Palace.
Along the way, Mu Ziqin did not stop to wait for the attendant behind him, but strode forward with Luo Ge.
"Your Majesty...... The king. Your Majesty? Luo Ge called him a few times. Seeing that he didn't answer, he had no choice but to give up.
Entering the Hanxiang Palace, Luo Ge called out again: "Your Majesty." ”
"What?" At this time, Mu Ziqin spoke to Luo Ge, but Luo Ge still didn't know what he was doing.
"Your Majesty, since you are here, let us come and eat. Let's fill my stomach first. Luo Ge suppressed his emotions, "Today, the concubine has prepared a few special side dishes for you, I hope the king can like it." ”
Luo Ge said as he asked the person who had just followed up to take out the prepared wine.
Mu Ziqin sat down, only to find that the dishes on the table were familiar to him. Before he could ask, Luo Ge opened his mouth and said, "These dishes are all prepared by the concubines themselves, and I don't know if the king has eaten them." So let's let the concubines introduce the king first. ”
Luo Ge asked Zelan and Perrin to come to the table, and lifted each dish to her to introduce them one by one.
"Small roast mutton, crystal tofu, golden and jade good relationship, fish leaping dragon gate, flower clusters, and walnut cake. Today's wine courtiers and concubines specially prepared peach blossom brew in the palace. ”
Five courses, a dessert, plus peach blossom stuff.
This is Xia Tianqing's favorite dish, dessert is the only dessert Mu Ziqin is willing to eat, and wine is what Mrs. Yi Yu likes to drink for the two of them.
For such a match, Luo Ge is full of confidence. She felt that as long as the dishes were arranged, Mu Ziqin would definitely be able to remember everything about Xia Tianqing.
But who knows, Mu Ziqin was reluctant to eat after hearing the name of the dish.
Looking at his hand raised and lowered, Luo Ge asked, "Your Majesty, what are you...... What's wrong? ”
Mu Ziqin looked at the dishes on the table with a half-faced face and asked, "Where did you learn these dishes?" ”
"Concubines have been around since childhood." Luo Ge looked at him after answering.
Mu Ziqin stopped talking, just quietly picked up the chopsticks again, and then began to taste.
Mu Ziqin's reaction was different from what Luo Ge expected. She can only sit down to eat quietly. For a while, there was only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding in the whole room.
In the face of this suppressed emotion, Luo Ge sat like pins and needles. Every bite of rice tastes like chewing wax. She didn't even know when Mu Ziqin finished eating.
Looking at her stiff movements, Mu Ziqin opened his mouth and asked, "Why don't you eat the food you prepared?" ”
"The concubine felt that the king should be very dissatisfied with the dishes prepared by the concubine, so he ......"
Before Luo Ge finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Ziqin, and he said, "No. Lone is very happy that you can prepare these dishes for me, but these dishes have always been prepared by the king's chamberlain for Lone. Today, you are prepared for Lonely, which really makes Lone a little surprised. This intention of yours really touched Lonely. ”
Mu Ziqin's words made Luo Ge feel a little comforted in his heart. But it was only this moment, because the next moment, Mu Ziqin shattered all her good mood.
"But I won't thank you for your actions. In the future, you don't have to go to the trouble to inquire about Lone's preferences. ”
Luo Ge didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the moment, she really wanted to tell him her identity directly, but looking at the people around her and Wang Fuhai standing outside the door with a strange expression on his face, she couldn't help it.
"The concubine knows."
"Now that you know, you don't have to do these useless things in the future, and you don't have to invite Lone to come."
Mu Ziqin finished speaking and left. Luo Ge followed behind and sent him out.
After a simple tidying up, Luo Ge asked everyone to rest, leaving him alone in the dormitory of the Hanxiang Palace. Luo Ge originally planned to sort out her emotions, but she was disturbed by Mu Ziheng, who came in a hurry, before she sat down.
"I didn't expect that you, who have always been calm, will also have times when you are in a hurry." Mu Ziheng's smile was particularly obvious on his face.
Looking at his smile, Luo Ge's face was full of unhappiness, and said, "I'm not a saint and a gentleman, how can I not be in a hurry?" Could it be that the saying of the ancients, 'Only villains and women are difficult to raise' is false? ”
"It's not fake." Mu Ziheng smiled and shook his head.
"So, why are you here? Are you here to see my jokes or to help? ”
"Jokes, of course, are meant to be seen. How could someone like me, who never misses a good show, give up? Of course, I'm here to help. ”
"Since you're here to help, put away your joke-reading attitude. Really help. ”
"Okay." Mu Ziheng could only shrug his shoulders seriously, "Then how is your situation today?" ”
"My situation? Don't you even know that you're a dark guard? Isn't everything in the past in your observation? Why did you come to ask me today? ”
Listening to Luo Ge's words, Mu Ziheng affirmed one thing - Luo Ge was really angry.
"I'm not on duty today, and it will definitely be two hours before I receive the report. Since we have to wait for two hours, I might as well go straight to you. Now, you can just tell me what happened, so I can help you plan what to do next. ”
Luo Ge found out that she was wrong to blame Mu Ziheng, she apologized awkwardly, and then told Mu Ziheng the truth about today's situation.
Luo Ge thought that he would feel a little sympathetic after listening to it, but who knew that what he got was Mu Ziheng's laughter.
Annoyed and angry, Luo Ge turned his head to Mu Ziheng and said sharply: "Have you laughed enough!" ”
"Nope." Mu Ziheng generously admitted, "However, to be honest, I really didn't expect that Brother Wang would say such things to you." ”
"How?"
Mu Ziheng cleared his throat, and said in a voice close to Mu Ziqin: "Today, you prepared for Gu, which really surprised Gu. This intention of yours really touched Lonely. However, you will not thank you for such behavior. In the future, you don't have to go to the trouble to inquire about Lone's preferences. ”
"What's wrong?" Luo Ge looked at the way he was learning, and her sadness suddenly dissipated, as her attention shifted to his words.
"You probably don't know that Brother Wang never speaks duplicitously, right?"
"I don't know."
"If you have seen how he questioned hundreds of officials in the court and made a decision to kill, then you will know how much Brother Wang is talking to you today is not like him."
"You say that, he is indeed not the same as I remember today. It's just that I was too anxious to let him know that I was Xia Tianqing, so I didn't think about it carefully. ”
