Chapter 682: The Taste of Home

Hongluan heard the queen's words and got up and bowed: "The matter of the concubine has to worry about the queen's mother, it is really unbearable for the concubine to worry, the matter of the residence does not have to be taken too seriously, as long as there is a place, the concubine originally lived in the palace slave courtyard - where is it not much better than the palace slave courtyard?" ”

The queen nodded slightly, her mind was not on Hongluan's residence, what she was thinking about at the moment was Hongluan and the emperor's affairs, and she was always a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't speak; Anyway, she has to stay alone in the empty room tonight, but Hongluan is accompanied by the emperor, and a place to live is really not a big deal.

Seeing her salute like this, Hongluan took a few steps forward, and said softly: "Queen Mother, the concubine thinks you should go to the incense bath, replace the aroma in the house with the faint smell of orchids, prepare some wine and food, I believe that the emperor will come to talk to the queen in a while; What happened outside the palace today, the concubine thought that the emperor would definitely want to say something to the mother. ”

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the queen very sincerely: "The emperor's favorite wine and food concubine doesn't know, the mother must be clear, or let people prepare quickly; After two glasses of wine, you should sleep peacefully at this hour. ”

There was disbelief in the queen's eyes, but when she saw the sincerity in Hongluan's eyes, she immediately became excited, and reached out to grasp Hongluan: "You, you are really ......" She really couldn't believe it.

Hongluan lowered her head and said respectfully: "Niangniang, the reason why the concubine is here today is all because of the mother, and the concubine dare not forget it for a day; And the concubine originally said to Niangniang that the concubine has no other delusions about the emperor, and now she has the enjoyment of gorgeous clothes and delicacies, and the honor surrounded by palace people, which is already something that the concubine does not dare to hope for, even if she sees it with her own eyes, it is still suspected in a dream. But what can a concubine give back to her mother? ”

"Niangniang is the mother of the country, and the four seas are shared by Niangniang and the emperor, and the concubine really can't think of anything that can be used to repay Niangniang's kindness;" She took a step back even more humbly: "The only thing to do is to hope that Niangniang will give birth to the prince as soon as possible, and she can become a dragon and phoenix with the emperor, and the concubine has no other wishes." ”

The queen is not the original person, the first thought in her heart when she heard such words was not to believe it, but when she thought about it, Hongluan's move was completely different from everyone in the palace: if she gave up the opportunity to sleep, could she still say that she had two hearts? Of course not, Hongluan's heart couldn't be more real, if she could keep doing so.

But even once, the queen was extremely happy and really touched: "You are really a child's heart, but it was the palace that blamed you earlier; Well, your filial piety is well understood, well, you are fine, go ahead. She didn't promise anything to Hongluan, she now learned not to promise lightly, because she is too many people in the queen's palace who want to get benefits from her, so if there are benefits, you have to give them slowly, and you have to be able to exchange people for twelve points of gratitude.

Hongluan didn't say anything special, so he saluted and retreated, retreated step by step until the screen did he salute again, turned around and went out. When she crossed the threshold, she exhaled a long breath, but the queen stabilized but everything was not fine, not to mention that the queen is not the opponent of the queen mother, even that Yuanhua and Fenghua are not the queen can pay, the queen's only reliance is her posterior.

This is also one of the reasons why Hongluan is willing to make concessions and join forces with the queen, the latter naturally has the prestige of the queen, and he can be invincible by virtue of this; It's a pity that the queen is in the hands of the stupid and stupid queen, so Hongluan has to be cautious: not only to guard against the queen mother and others, but also to always pay attention not to let the queen overturn the vinegar jar.

Now she has to go back and convince the emperor, this matter is really not that easy: the emperor is a man, he could accept his refusal, but now he can still do it? The most terrible thing is not that she wants to refuse to sleep, but that she arranges for the emperor to go to "sleep" the queen, and I don't know if the emperor will be annoyed with her.

No matter how difficult things are, it must be like this, because she needs the queen's trust ten out of ten, and she needs to have helpers in the harem.

When he arrived at the emperor's Fengyuan Palace, Hongluan took a long breath, pushed the door and entered, and the emperor was the only one in the room, and the table was full of steaming meals: in fact, there were not many, and they were not very delicate meals, they were all ordinary porridge and light side dishes; But such a dish and such a fragrance made Hongluan's eyes slightly wet.

Looking at the emperor, she saluted: "Your Majesty." She didn't eat a mouthful of food, her heart was already full, and she didn't drink a mouthful of soup, and her heart was already a little hot; The emperor really understood her, and he really put a lot of thought into her: if he didn't really take her to heart, he would never let people prepare these meals.

The emperor who has every opportunity will worry and run around for her, and even go out of the palace to save her, which has surprised her; Now, she was not surprised, but her eyes were moist, and she was a little choked up when she looked at the emperor and couldn't say much.

The emperor came over to pick up Hongluan and casually hugged her to the table: "Are you hungry?" No mistakes are a lot of words I think you'll enjoy these meals, I smell them too. He brought vegetables to Hongluan: "Eat, I'll watch you eat; It's been ten days, and you don't know how sad I feel when I see the bed and the food every day - I wonder if you're hungry or freezing, and if you can get a good night's sleep? Now, watching you eat, I feel like I can't ask for anything more. ”

Hongluan listened softly, her whole heart was about to soften into water, she forced a smile to hide the tears that she was about to burst out of her eyes: "The emperor will coax people, nothing else?" Don't forget that there are so many Assassins, you just want to let them go, and the concubine doesn't think they will let us go either. She deliberately diverted the words, otherwise she was really afraid that she would not be able to harden her heart to let the emperor go.

The Emperor laughed: "Yes, yes, I was quick to speak for a while, but that was the feeling just now; You can really spoil the fun and kill the scenery, no matter that, eat it. He looked at Hongluan dotingly, without the slightest annoyance; For him, it is a kind of happiness to be able to see Hongluan's laughter, Hongluan's anger, and even Hongluan's anger.

Hongluan smiled and ate the dishes that the emperor brought over, and then exhaled: "It's very similar to what I ate at home, these dishes have a bit of a homely taste." She closed her eyes, and then looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, where is the concubine going to sleep?" Otherwise, the concubine should go back to the palace slave courtyard. ”

The emperor pulled Hongluan up and hugged her in his arms and looked at her seriously: "What's the matter, did the queen say something to you?" ”

Hongluan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, the queen treats her concubines very well; It's just that the concubine thinks and thinks that the queen has been worried about the emperor for so many days, should you accompany the queen tonight and comfort her? ”
