Chapter 6 Section 2 Yunluo's Birthday (1)
Although I seem to have lost everything, I don't feel alone and I don't feel lost.
In fact, those so-called loss of power and downfall are what outsiders think, they are gloating there, and they are everywhere preaching the decline of the Jia family and the decline of mine. In fact, apart from the sadness of my father's death, it can be said that I have always lived happily.
Because I have two lovely daughters, and a husband who has always been attached to me from beginning to end.
This is also the most frustrating and helpless for the Yang family. No matter how powerful they are in the government and the opposition, they can't make the emperor like Yunluo.
The emperor's bedroom in the Qinzheng Palace, as well as the huge dragon bed, are all useless. Since the first emperor removed the spirit, the Zi Palace was moved out, and the emperor no longer had to accompany him in the mourning hall, he has always used my dormitory as his dormitory. We are still like the Mingxia Hall in the East Palace, relying on each other in the morning and evening, and love is inseparable.
Even the daily life is still the same as before. Every morning, I urge him to get up early, accompany him early, and then send him to the morning court. For lunch and dinner, he sometimes came back to eat with me, and sometimes he entertained guests in the outer hall. In the evening, no matter how late it was, he would come back for the night. We still hugged each other and slept like before, and spent one sweet night after another. I know that my affection for the emperor has made the women in the harem jealous and red-eyed. Especially Yunluo. She always thought that the emperor originally liked her, and had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, and even made her pregnant with a child. If it weren't for me, the emperor wouldn't have treated her like that. So, she looks at me now with resentment.
Fortunately, I didn't have many opportunities to meet her. Since I don't have an official name now, I won't go anywhere, including the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Xiao Yang. Although that might be a bit rude. But anyway, the Yang family has added enough charges to my head, and I don't care about adding one or two more.
In this way, it is also free. Play with my two baby daughters every day in the small garden in front of the Mingguang Palace. Look at meow meow decorated with a variety of beautiful little bonsai and small flower baskets. My meow has a pair of skillful hands, and the little one can only be coquettish. Asked my sister if she wanted this or that. Meow Meow conjures up all sorts of cute things according to her request.
One day, I was sitting alone in the temple in a daze, thinking about my deceased father. At this moment, Meow Meow walked in tremblingly with a small tray.
Xiao Cui hurriedly ran over to continue. At the same time, blame the palace people who were waiting for Meow, "What's the matter with you?" Let the princess bring it herself, the princess is still so small, what if the end is splashed and it gets hot? The palace people hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's the princess herself who wants to serve it." The slaves and maids were also apprehensive when they saw it, but the princess insisted on serving it to the mother herself. ”
Meow Meow smiled and said to me, "Mother, it's the sons who want to serve the ground." Seeing that his mother was often sad because she missed her grandfather, her son made reunion tea and family cakes for her mother. If the concubine tastes good after tasting it, don't be sad anymore. As he spoke, he poured a cup from the teapot with his own hands. Delivered to me.
I took the "Reunion Tea" and as soon as I took a sip, my eyes immediately widened. Because. Really delicious and has a special aroma. There seems to be osmanthus. There's jasmine, and there's something else. Anyway, the taste is very mellow. I drank and asked, "Meow, what else do you put in this tea besides osmanthus?" ”
Meowth lifts the lid of the pot and shows me the floating petals inside. I looked down and saw that there were so many of them, and they had been soaked in boiling water, and I couldn't recognize what they were.
Meow Meow said, "There are a total of fifteen kinds of flowers, fifteen moons, isn't it reunion tea?" ”
"Uh-huh, Meow Meow is so smart, so what's the point about this Siqin cake?"
Meow Meow picked one up from the plate, broke it with both hands, and the cake was broken in half, but at the broken point, there were still wisps of it, lingering. I suddenly said, "I miss constantly, so it's called Siqin cake?" So how did you make this silk? ”
Meow Meow explained, "It's just boiled syrup, and then put it in this cake to make the filling, and it's like this." When I was boiling syrup, I also added osmanthus to it, and my mother smelled it, isn't it very fragrant? ”
I nodded again and again, and it was really fragrant and glutinous, very delicious.
After two bites, I looked at Meow and asked, "You can't make this cake yourself, right?" "My meow is only eight years old this year, and she can develop flower tea and cook her own pastries? Probably not. Most of the time she explained, and then let the imperial chefs do the same.
But Meow Meow said, "I made it myself, I personally went to the imperial dining room to make the land for my mother." ”
At this time, it happened that the emperor also came back from the court, and I smiled and said, "I came back earlier than usual today, did I hear that Meow Meow made cakes with his own hands, so I rushed back to eat the land?" ”
When the emperor saw the tea and cakes on the tray, he was also surprised, "These are all made by Meow Meow himself?" When will my baby girl learn to do this? ”
As he spoke, he picked up Meow and kissed her little cheek.
At this time, the palace officials reported again, "Concubine Yang has arrived." ”
Because they have not yet been officially canonized, the palace now calls us all concubines in general terms. Concubine Yang is naturally Yunluo.
In fact, Yunluo was not originally surnamed Yang, but the Yang family forcibly passed her on to her uncle and made her the surname Yang, in order to highlight the surname Yang.
This Yunluo is really in a hurry, just when the emperor came back, she also came.
Thinking about it seriously, she is actually quite pitiful. obviously hates me the most, but in order to see the emperor, she can only come to the palace of me, the person she hates the most. She couldn't see the emperor anywhere else.
Because the emperor was present, after she came in, she called my sister with a sweet smile.
I also smiled and asked people to serve her tea and sit down.
After she sat down, after a casual two perfunctory sentences, she told the purpose of her coming here today, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the concubine, and this is the first birthday of the concubine after entering the palace. The concubine specially came to invite the concubine's sister to participate, but I didn't expect the emperor to be there, so I just happened to invite you together. ”
Sister Guifei, Sister Guifei, we all compliment each other like this when we meet now.
I smiled and said, "Then congratulations to my sister first, where is the banquet placed?" ”
"At Lingyuntai."
"Lingyuntai?" The emperor's face collapsed when he heard this.
The birthday of the harem maid, even if it is the queen or any particularly favored concubine, is only feasted in the Hanzhang Palace. How can there be a reason to go to Lingyuntai? What kind of place is Lingyuntai, that's where the state banquet is located. Just with Yunluo, a concubine who doesn't even have an official title, and it is an ordinary seventeenth birthday, she dares to go to Lingyuntai?
Is the Yang family really arrogant that they don't even care about the national system?
