Chapter 19: The First Encounter
Wen Nianqing didn't care how tormented Ju Xi was, she didn't mention the matter of the Southern Regions anymore, and went to bed early after dinner.
On the second day, Wen Nianqing got up early, and after washing, he went to the imperial garden to "meet" Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia had a habit of going to the imperial garden for a walk after going down to the court, and he also deliberately issued a holy decree in this regard: "Walk a hundred steps after dinner, live to ninety-nine" to motivate the former harem to exercise more. As a result, there are only a few people who exercise, and there are many who want to come to the Imperial Garden to meet the emperor. Zhang Guifei secretly rectified for a period of time before she cured the concubines, and since then, "the chance encounter in the imperial garden" has almost become a way for Zhang Guifei to compete for favor alone.
Wen Yuhuan only came out of the wall yesterday to catch her sore feet, and today she will definitely come to "meet" Emperor Xia to add fuel and vinegar. I'm sorry, she Wen Nianqing came today to deliberately block Zhang Guifei.
Wen Nianqing took a few maids to wander around the imperial garden several times, but then found Emperor Xia in a flower bush, Wen Nianqing ran to the flower bush to pick a flower, and exclaimed: "Oh, my father is also here, and my son asks my father to say goodbye!"
Emperor Xia saw Wen Nianqing running over and said hello to himself, his heart was happy, he hugged Wen Nianqing, and put the flower in Wen Nianqing's hand on her head, "Qing'er is also safe, why do you think of coming to the Imperial Garden and go crazy?" Don't you think it's boring here on weekdays and don't want to come? Wen Nianqing touched the flowers on her sideburns, put her little hand around Emperor Xia's neck, and said with a smile: "Didn't the florists cultivate a new batch of flowers recently?" Erchen looked at the novelty, so he came to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet his father, and his father also came to see the flowers? ”
"Yes, although there are not more flowers than summer, but this spring flower also has a spring appreciation method, doesn't Qing'er want to see the flowers? Father and Emperor take Qing'er to go, let's go!" Emperor Xia smiled and hugged Wen Nianqing up, and took Wen Nianqing to the newly cultivated flowers.
Mei Yun and a few maids followed from a distance, not disturbing Emperor Xia's enjoyment of family.
After a few detours, I walked to a pavilion. Sure enough, Zhang Guifei posed and sat in the pavilion waiting for Emperor Xia to come, and as soon as she heard the news from the maidservant, she hurriedly came out and saluted, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty~"
Wen Nianqing looked at Zhang Guifei's flattering appearance and got goosebumps all over her body, in her previous life, she was blind and thought that Zhang Guifei was gentle and amiable, but now she only feels disgusting when she looks at her.
Wen Nianqing looked at Zhang Guifei with her head down waiting for Emperor Xia's praise, and kindly reminded, "The palace is also there, didn't the concubine Niangniang see it?" ”
Zhang Guifei looked up and saw Wen Nianqing, her smile froze, and she quickly returned to her "gentle" appearance, "Your Highness is also here, please say hello to Your Highness." Wen Nianqing saw the resentment in Concubine Zhang's eyes clearly, so she pretended to be invisible, shook Emperor Xia's neck and coquettishly, "Didn't my father want to take his sons to see the flowers?" Don't stay here, let's go~"
"Aifei, you look slowly, I and Qing'er will leave first." Wen Nianqing smiled and glanced at Zhang Guifei, Zhang Guifei saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked the maid Shui Yue on the side to come out to stop her, Shui Yue deserved to be Zhang Guifei's henchman, and immediately rushed out and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Niang Niang saw that you have been depressed recently because you are worried about the body of the eighth princess, and deliberately took advantage of the success of the cultivation of this new flower to make a dance to dedicate to you!" ”
Wen Nianqing spoke before Emperor Xia spoke, "A few days ago, the palace was unwell, and I didn't see the concubine Niangniang come to visit the palace, so it turned out that she was full of thoughts on dancing." Now the palace is standing here and does not see a word of greetings from the mother, the palace originally regarded the mother as a relative, it turns out that in the eyes of the mother, the palace is far less important than your dance......" Wen Nianqing became more and more sad the more she spoke, and finally simply lay on Emperor Xia's neck and cried.
Emperor Xia felt sorry for his daughter, and glared at Zhang Guifei, "Hurry down, what kind of dance." ”
Zhang Guifei didn't expect Wen Nianqing to be able to fight against her, and wanted to open her mouth to argue something, but was glared back by Emperor Xia's eyes, so she had to grit her teeth and salute and retreat.
