Chapter 16: Goodbye
Sun Qi was dressed in dark court clothes, and bid farewell to Sun Wen with King Zheng and King An.
And behind him, there stood a beautiful figure. Presumably it was the palace man who rewarded him before, right?
Calamus covered her mouth, only to feel heartbreaking.
No matter how deep the affection is, no matter how unforgettable the lover, after all, it can't match the change of human feelings.
Wudi, he saw that Sun Qi's gaze seemed to be looking towards him, and he hurriedly hid his body, forcing himself not to make a sound. It wasn't until she heard the voices of the palace people that she finally knew that he was really gone, turned around, wiped away her tears and went back.
As if she had never known him to go, nor had she ever seen him off.
She went directly to the Inner Service Bureau, and Huiyun had some respect for her because Calamus was in charge of her own affairs. Huiyun specially took the ingredients to show the calamus: "This is the nourishing ingredients for the queen, please take a look at the mother." ”
"Aunt Huiyun can take care of these things with one hand."
"Everything related to the queen of the Inner Chamberlain Bureau must be seen by the Inner Chamberlain in person, Niangniang, this is the rule."
Calamus glanced at a few plates of ingredients: "This palace has seen it, it should be fine." ”
Huiyun said again: "Please also ask Niangniang to take it seriously, the matter of ingredients should not be slightly worse, especially when it comes to the queen and the dragon species in the belly, it is difficult for the mother and the slave to explain if something happens." ”
Calamus glanced at her and stood up: "Bring the silver needle." ”
Huiyun handed over the silver needle.
Calamus was inspected as carefully as she was, and after she confirmed that it was correct, she signaled: "This palace has checked, and there is no problem." ”
Huiyun: "Then the slave will send someone to send these ingredients to the queen." ”
Not long after Huiyun left, Aunt Ruorong came in with a shocked face: "Niangniang, something happened." ”
"What's wrong?"
"He Meiren severely punished Wen Jieyu's maid in the Imperial Garden."
Calamus didn't react at once: "Who is Wen Jieyu?" ”
Ruorong was a little surprised, and then said: "The palace people say that Wen Jieyu is the emperor's most favored concubine. ”
"The most favored concubine?"
Seeing that Calamus didn't know much, Ruorong gloated a little: "Don't you know? In the past two days, it has spread that the emperor specially rewarded Wen Jieyu with a hot spring pool in order to make her happy, and he also blessed her in Chengqian Palace......"
The implication is that a few days ago, it was said that gladiolus was the most favored concubine in the past.
Calamus soon understood that this was the harem, a harem that was more turbulent than the government.
She stood up: "Where?" Take Hongu to see it. ”
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, He Meiren was still scolding: "You are just a newcomer to the palace, don't think that the emperor will spoil you and can't find the edge, and when you have tasted the freshness, you will be thrown aside." It's like gladiolus from the Inner Servant's Bureau! ”
A very glutinous voice said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The people in my palace have done something wrong, why can he be handed over to the Inner Service Bureau, why should he be so angry?" ”
"This kind of minion, I can't wait for the people from the Inner Service Bureau to come."
Calamus walked over and said with a smile: "It's just that He Meiren is in a hurry, she can't wait for such kung fu." ”
The palace people on the ground have already cried tears on their faces, teaching people to see their faces clearly.
He Meiren didn't look at her: "The palace people trained by your Internal Service Bureau are becoming more and more disagreeable. This slut turned around and left when he saw this palace, and he didn't understand the rules at all! ”
"Xiaoru didn't see He Meiren......"
Calamus turned her face, and then she saw Wen Jieyu's appearance clearly, and she was really beautiful and cold, and she couldn't help but be stunned in her heart.
He Mei sighed angrily: "Could it be that this palace is still slandering a minion?" ”
Calamus said, "Anyway, this matter will be handled by the supervising aunt of the Internal Service Bureau. ”
Ruorong stood up: "The slave will definitely seriously investigate and deal with this matter." ”
He Meiren sneered: "I'm afraid that it's better not to cover up then, after all, people are being favored now." ”
Wen Jieyu was not angry: "I believe that the Internal Service Bureau will handle it." ”
Listening to her, Calamus said to He Meiren: "If I were the emperor, I would also like people like Wen Jieyu, after all, people speak beautifully?" And some people are getting more and more vulgar, how can they make people like to get up? ”
He Meiren brushed her sleeves away.
Seeing her leave, Wen Jieyu hurriedly went to help the palace maid on the ground: "Xiaoru, how are you?" ”
"Miss, the slave is fine."
But he couldn't even stand up.
Calamus instructed: "If Aunt Rong, let someone take her back to the Inner Chamberlain Bureau to get some medicine." ”
"Yes, sissy."
Turning around, Wen Jieyu said behind her: "This is the first maid official of this dynasty, right?" Thank you. ”
Calamus turned around and saw Sun Wen walking towards Wen Jieyu: "Everything is done according to the rules, Jieyu doesn't have to be polite." ”
Just as Sun Wen walked up to Wen Jieyu's side: "I heard that you had a little accident here?" ”
"Xiao Ru was punished." Wen Jieyu was very calm, "Maybe I didn't understand the rules with my concubine before and was negligent." It should be fine, though. ”
"Look at you, the calmer I am, the more worried I am."
Sun Wen's attitude and tone were so distressing.
Calamus was surprised.
Just as he was meditating, Sun Wen suddenly said coldly: "How does the Internal Service Bureau do things?" How could the concubines be allowed to punish the palace people without authorization? ”
In front of outsiders, Sun Wen put down his face for the first time to speak to Calamus, which shows that this Wen Jieyu's position in his heart is indeed different.
Calamus bowed slightly: "The concubine has been derelict in her duties, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins." ”
"It is Wen Jieyu's maid who is punished today, if it is Wen Jieyu who is injured, I see how many lives you have to pay."
Calamus lowered her head: "The concubine is blessed with a thin life, so naturally she can't withstand Wen Jieyu." ”
Even she was a little surprised when she said this, and she didn't know why she couldn't hold her breath so much.
Not only her, but even Sun Wen was stunned for a moment.
Wen Jieyu said beside Sun Wen: "The emperor, don't blame the maid official, the incident happened suddenly, and no one expected it." ”
Sun Wendeng changed his tone: "You, you are cold and indifferent on the surface, but you are too kind in your bones." I don't know if it's good or bad to bring you into the palace. ”
"If you want to enter the palace, the concubine herself agreed."
Sun Wenshen sighed: "I will accompany you back." ”
"Hmm."
The intimacy between them is unpretentious, and Calamus secretly sighs.
"Mother?"
Calamus came back to her senses: "Shall we go back?" ”
From the Imperial Garden to the East Palace, a light rain actually drifted in the hazy sky, falling on people's faces bit by bit, and the palace people on the road couldn't help but speed up their steps.
Wen Jieyu and Sun Wen walked on the road together, with their own palace people holding umbrellas.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Wen Jieyu smiled: "Is the emperor regretting what happened to her for no reason just now?" ”
"How is that possible?"
"The emperor can't hide the thoughts of his concubines."
Sun Wen stopped talking.
Wen Jieyu said slowly: "It's raining, I don't know if she has an umbrella?" I heard that she has not been in good health recently, and if she catches a cold again, it will be bad.
……
Walking on the road, Ping'er was worried that the iris would catch a cold: "Niangniang will take shelter from the rain first, and let the slave maid bring an umbrella." ”
Calamus stood near the door of a temple.
"Emperor Taishang, it's raining outside, let's wait for the rain to stop before going out."
Emperor Sun Jingzhi stood at the door of the hall with his body bent, looking at the scattered raindrops, and sighed: "Look like this, it's about to snow." ”
Suddenly, he saw a man standing outside, who raised his chin slightly, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Filial piety!" Sun Jingzhi suddenly became excited, "Filial piety! Filial piety! ”
He rushed out despite the fact that it was raining outside.
"Filial piety!"
Calamus was startled by the sudden sound.
Seeing her turn around, Sun Jingzhi realized that he had recognized the wrong person, and was extremely disappointed in an instant: "No, you are not filial piety." ”
Calamus hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
"Are you a harem concubine?"
"The concubine is the newly appointed lady-in-waiting."
"Aren't all internal servants candidates for internal supervision? How could it be that you are a woman......"
The palace people who chased him out put on a cloak for Sun Jingzhi: "The Emperor doesn't know, this is the first female official in this dynasty." ”
"It seems that the emperor also has a lot of ideas about the harem." Sun Jingzhi shook his head, "He's always so strong, right?" ”
Seeing that he was asking himself, Calamus shook his head, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the person behind him: "How can a maid in a mere mere office be able to understand my thoughts?" My father thinks too highly of her. ”
It turned out to be Sun Wen.
Calamus looked at him, slightly stunned. Didn't he accompany Wen Jieyu away?
Sun Jingzhi raised his head and looked at Sun Wen with clear yellow eyes, without a trace of a smile: "But my father knows that you can understand her thoughts, right?" ”
"Why?"
"Because She's ...... You"
"My father always thought he knew his sons very well, but this was not the case."
Sun Jingzhi was not annoyed by him for interrupting his words, but narrowed his eyes: "Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father." ”
"Knowing the son is the father?" Sun Wen also squinted at Sun Jingzhi, "Father thinks he knows me very well?" ”
Sun Jingzhi looked solemn: "Wen'er, I'm afraid you will never forgive me in this life." ”
Sun Wen didn't answer him directly, but grabbed the calamus: "What are you doing kneeling and not walking when the rain stops?" ”
Calamus hurriedly got up and saluted Sun Jingzhi: "The concubine retires." ”
Sun Jingzhi looked at her deeply again: "Maybe I am destined to see you child, you and the emperor are ...... him"
Before the words were finished, Sun Wen had already bowed his head: "There is still something in the Chengqian Palace, and the sons will retire first." ”
He grabbed the calamus and walked in the direction of the East Palace.
There was another gust of wind and rain on the road, drenching the clothes of the two of them, and the iris shivered with cold.
When they arrived at the East Palace, the palace people saw that the emperor and the maids were as wet as chickens in soup, and they were frightened, and hurriedly took out dry towels and clothes to change and wash the two.
Calamus was wrapped in a quilt, and Ping'er fed her ginger soup.
Sun Wen was served by the palace people to change his clothes on the side.
After Calamus drank a bowl of ginger soup, Ping'er turned around and said, "The slave maid also brought a bowl of ginger soup to the emperor and drank it to ward off the cold." ”
"I don't drink it."
Ping'er glanced at the calamus and patiently persuaded: "The emperor has just been drenched in rain, and it is easy to be infected with wind and cold." ”
"I'm in good health, don't drink that thing."
Calamus glanced at Ping'er, who understood, and ordered, "The rest of the people should stand down." ”
Seeing that she had retreated from everyone, Sun Wen sneered: "What do you want to do?" ”
But he saw the calamus come out of the bed and walk up to him, and reach out to his waist. Sun Wen grabbed her cold hand: "I'm not interested at this time. ”
Calamus pulled out her hand: "Where did the emperor go?" The concubine just wants to help you tie your belt. ”
was defeated by her, and Sun Wen's face darkened.
After tying it, Calamus stood up, just touching Sun Wen's chin, she took a step back and said: "The emperor dragged the concubines all over the palace to run, and it was raining, at this time you should drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold, otherwise you will catch a cold, and others will specify that the concubine is a bewitching slut who messes up the harem." ”
"Are you afraid of what people say?"
"People are terrible, the emperor should understand this truth."
"But why should I help you?"
"Didn't the emperor wait to see his concubines die at the hands of those women in the Inner Servant Bureau? The game has just begun, and it won't be fun if it stops abruptly. ”
Sun Wen actually smiled: "I didn't expect you to think about pleasing me." ...... to you."
"The emperor still drinks a bowl of ginger soup, right?"
"Nope." Sun Wen naturally frowned.
Calamus tested him: "The emperor shouldn't like the taste of ginger soup, right?" ”
"Who said that?"
Calamus felt more and more funny: "Didn't the emperor forget? The concubine used to deliberately approach you, so she naturally inquired about the emperor's preferences. ”
"You!"
Ping'er knocked on the door outside: "Niangniang, the ginger soup is here." ”
Calamus went out and took it and brought it to Sun Wen: "Actually, that smell is not very uncomfortable. ”
As soon as he smelled the smell of ginger, Sun Wen turned his head and said, "Take it!" ”
Calamus does not follow: "It's better to accept than the smell on some people's bodies." ”
Sun Wen turned his head, took the soup bowl and took a big sip, but he vomited it all, and returned the whole bowl to the calamus: "Take it away, take it away!" I don't drink. ”
Calamus knelt down: "If the emperor really can't drink it, then the concubine has to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription?" ”
"Gladiolus!"
She also knows that Sun Wen has been the most taboo about drinking medicine since she was a child.
Sun Wen wiped his mouth with his hand, and took the medicine bowl from Calamus with an angry expression.
Calamus didn't understand his face at all, and patiently persuaded: "The emperor should drink it while it's hot." ”
Sun Wenshen locked his eyebrows, and after thinking about it, he still put the bowl aside: "It's useless for you to persuade me, I really can't stand the smell of ginger." ”
"......"
"Aren't you afraid that I will catch the wind and cold and suffer from gossip?" Sun Wen flicked his sleeves, "I'm here to rest, if it's okay tomorrow morning, won't you be fine?" ”
"The emperor really doesn't drink?"
"Let's go! I feel bad when I smell it. ”
The calamus couldn't do it, so she had to pour the ginger soup and take out the empty bowl again.
It's rare for the two to be in the same room, but they are a little uncomfortable.
"Why don't the concubines let the dining room cook some hot porridge and let the emperor warm up."
"Hmm. It's good. ”
After Calamus gave her orders, she ordered someone to build a stove in the house and make a pot of tea with her own hands.
Looking at her busy figure, Sun Wen couldn't help but say: "If you were born in an ordinary family, you are also a good wife and mother." ”
Calamus handed the tea bowl to him: "I have been a palace maid in the palace for so many years, and these trivial matters are naturally no longer discussed." ”
Sun Wen took a sip of tea, and his brows gradually stretched.
Calamus was relieved to know that he was satisfied with his workmanship.
As long as he doesn't find fault and doesn't get angry, she will be Amitabha.
Fu Rongbao came in from outside, walked to the entrance and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Jieyu sent someone to ask if you can have dinner?" ”
Sun Wen said: "Let's just say that I will rest in the East Palace tonight." ”
Fu Rongbao lowered his head: "Yes." ”
And he left.
Calamus said: "Emperor Xie is complete." ”
