Chapter 414: One Man, Two People
In the twilight, the carriage slowly drove into the south gate of the imperial city, and the jade raised a corner of the curtain, through the palm-wide gap, looking at the nearby three-hole giant door arch, and then glanced at the black stone carved five feet high - "Vermilion Bird" two big characters, and felt the momentum pressing on.
"Sit down." Li Tai was flipping through the matter submitted by the Faculty of Arts yesterday about the writing of "Kun Yuanlu", and only then did he say to her when the heat in the car was almost gone.
"Oh." Yi Yu obediently closed the curtain and sat back, Xu was because it was the first time he entered the palace, but he was honest for a while, and he couldn't sit still, peeking at Li Tai, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Huh?" Li Tai didn't look up, and he knew that she was holding back something.
"Your Highness, are there any rules that need to be paid attention to during the New Year in the palace?" In the evening, she was put on a man's clothes as a waiter in a daze, and she was stuffed into Li Tai's carriage, without even bringing a change of clothes, although she did not have to be separated from him these days, she was very happy, but the palace was not elsewhere, but no one told her a word.
The New Year of this dynasty is mainly for praying for blessings and worshipping the heavens, driving away ghosts and evil spirits, and it is not a good festival, and there are not many entertainment components. As far as she knew, the behavior of ordinary people's families to keep the New Year and wait for the New Year would not appear in the royal family, but instead it was the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens on the first day of the first lunar month, and she didn't know anything about what the family was going to do when they got together at other times.
Li Tai glanced at her, who was about to listen attentively, shook his head slightly, and then looked at his things again, and did not know what he meant by shaking his head, whether he said that there were no rules to pay attention to, or he was too lazy to answer.
"Also, what if I'm recognized?" This is what she is most worried about, speaking of which, she also has many acquaintances in the palace, what Princess Gaoyang, Princess Chengyang, she will not know her after changing her clothes, unless she just stays in the house and does not go anywhere.
"No, it won't."
Seeing that he was too lazy to say a word, Yu Yu pouted a little dissatisfied, but she didn't bother him anymore, there was still a long way from the Suzaku Gate to the palace, so she looked up at the roof of the car, and began to think about how to improve the defective products.
The princesses and princes who have already started a family and opened the palace, or from the county, or from the capital have arrived at the palace, according to the old practice of previous years, which palace should live, are greeted by the palace people to settle down first, it is worth mentioning that the married couple must live in one place, the unmarried are divided according to the mother concubine, distributed to the mothers of each palace, and those who lost their mothers are arranged by the eldest grandson queen herself.
When the time comes, the most noble family in the world will have a banquet in the Taiji side hall. Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, there are different arrangements from previous years, and the emperor will also explain the concubines and children at this time.
Ah Sheng accompanied Li Tai to go, of course Yu Yu will not follow to join in the fun, Li Tai was arranged to live in the Taiji Palace near the Imperial Garden of Qionglin Palace, she entered the palace, she was thrown into this hall, the palace has its own palace people who come and go to serve, from the words and words, she only learned that this is the palace where Li Tai has been living before leaving the palace to open the palace.
The palace people of Qionglin Palace, most of them have dressed Li Tai before, whether they are palace maids or eunuchs, they all know his preferences, and after cleaning up the daily necessities they brought, they silently retreated to guard, and in less than a quarter of an hour, in this huge hall, there is only one person left.
Before Ah Sheng left, he said that if she was bored, she could walk around the palace, thinking that this was the place where Li Tai had lived, she ate the dinner sent by the palace people, and after a simple freshening, she walked around the palace with a candlestick in her hand.
Qionglin Hall is not big in the whole palace, set up a wall, open the door in the southeast, there are only two main halls in the Manchurian total, connected by a verandah, the hall is bright or dark, lit with the carved lamps of white cranes or pines and cypresses, as big as the table carpet vase, as small as a cup and a lamp, all of them are precious that can not be seen outside, the high windows of the fine column and white gauze, and the curtains of the blue background moire spread from the inner hall to the hall layer by layer.
The hall was very quiet, quiet could faintly hear the distant singing and dancing from the half-open window, and even the footsteps wearing silk shoes echoed quietly, at first it was just interest, and after spending a quarter of an hour, she swam from the main hall to the side hall, but she became a wonder from admiration.
Li Tai's biological mother, Concubine Jin, passed away when he was seven or eight years old, as a prince with no mother to rely on, although he has the favor of his father, but in this deep palace, he is a person in the end.
If you look closely, you can find that the front and back of this hall, the size of the furnishings all reveal the uniqueness of their owners. Yi Yu turned back along the original road, stopped and walked, and looked around at the table and blanket in the Qionglin Palace:
There was only one cushion under the chessboard, a separate cup on the tea table, and a paper book on the bookshelf that was annotated by only one person, and she seemed to be able to see the young Li Tai through these thingsβ
One person eats, one sleeps, one drinks tea, one reads, one thinks, one plays chess, one writes......
This kind of strange appearance that seemed to glimpse his growth, which made her heart hurt a little, wrapped the cloak on her shoulders a little bit, until she walked into the inner hall with a burning stove, she found that her eyes were a little sour, she took a sharp breath, and exhaled a long time, only to relieve the depression in her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Startled by the sudden sound of human voices in this room, fortunately hearing the voice, Yi Yu patted his chest, turned his head to the blue eyes looking at the soft couch, shook his head, and asked suspiciously:
"Why are you back right now?"
"I'm a little tired, come back and rest, go and pour a cup of tea." In less than a quarter of an hour after the banquet, he was poured a few glasses of wine by King Wu's clever words, and he was about to leave the table in advance, so he did not refuse, and after drinking a few more glasses, he was allowed to return to the palace by the emperor.
Seeing that he was only wearing a white shirt and his hair was scattered, Yi Yu poured half a cup of warm tea and walked over, smelling that there was no smell of wine on him, and knew that this person who loved cleanliness must have washed himself as soon as he returned.
"The beds are all made, don't lie on the couch, beware of catching a cold if you fall asleep."
"Hmm." Li Tai handed her the empty cup, got up a few steps and walked to the screen bed with the picture of the fish lotus and sat down, kicked off the silk shoes, looked up at the relic jade that was squatting on the edge of the stove with charcoal, and waited for her to stand up and turn off the light, before saying:
"The lights don't have to go out, it's too dark for me to sleep."
"Oh." Yi Yu answered, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her here, she said, "Then you can sleep, and I will go to rest." β
Seeing that she turned around to leave, Li Tai frowned slightly and said, "Where are you going?" β
"Next door, I asked when I cleaned up the salute, and Gong E said, I'll just sleep in the small room," Yi Yu only thought that he was not at ease with himself, and added:
"There's everything in that room, and the bedding is fresh, and it's not cold."
"It is the dwelling place of the inferior, and you live with me."
"Huh?" Yi Yu was surprised, and then understood what he meant, and saw that he slapped the bed beside him with his big hand, took a step back with the candlestick, and said with a dry smile a little cramped:
"It's okay, I don't mind, just sleep next door, if you're thirsty at night or have something, I'll get up when you call me, isn't there still Brother Asheng - by the way, where did he go?"
Li Tai ignored her left and right words, raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows, and whispered lukewarmly:
"I'm tired, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you come here."
Listening to his non-negotiable tone, Yu Yu stood in place and struggled for a moment, and when she thought of the unique smell of this palace, she felt soft-hearted, she blew out the candlestick and put it on the table, and walked over with her head down.
The screen bed was large enough to accommodate two or three adult men, and the curtain hanging from the top of the high beam covered the surroundings, and the pale yellow bedding reflected in the faint palace lamp was very warm.
"You sleep inside."
"Oh."
Li Tai saw her take off her shoes slowly, crawl around herself from the end of the bed to the side of the screen, lie down against the cold marble surface, stretched out his arms to scoop her, and dragged her over, wrapped one hand around her waist, and covered the two of them with the other hand, and the big hand on her waist tightened and closed her eyes.
The two lay face to face, the faint aroma instantly surrounded the jade, she didn't do anything to struggle, just leaned on his chest a little stiffly, raised her eyes to see the face close at hand, at this moment, there was a feeling of sympathy.
"Your Highness, do you still have a headache when you have been resting recently?"
Because of the mistake of the first detoxification, Li Tai had to use the medicine again, plus the medicinal materials taken from the people from Hongzhuang, until now, he still occasionally drinks some decoction to consolidate it.
"No, it won't."
Li Tai spoke, her warm breath spraying on Yu Yu's forehead, and she shrunk her neck, her gaze shifting from his overly handsome face to the knot on his neck that was unique to men.
"Then stop the medicine, although there is no side effect, but the same antidote is too much, but it is not appropriate. I have a pill called a tranquilizer pill to help you sleep and nourish your mind, if you don't have a good rest, you might as well try it. β
Speaking of this, Li Tai suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the black hair in front of him, and said, "This time, you can only sleep by eating that?" β
He only heard it from Ping Tong, who served her, yesterday, since Lu Zhi was buried, she would wake up several times when she first went to sleep, and then took a pill before going to bed before falling asleep peacefully.
As soon as Yi Yu heard it, he knew that he had listened to the small report of the maids, and let out a light "um", but he was a little embarrassed in his heart, originally the tranquilizing pill was prepared for Li Tai, and he didn't want the result to be used on herself first.
"Ate tonight too?"
"No, I've been getting better lately, without medication, at most I'm sleeping lightly." In addition, the sleep is not very stable, and the slightest movement will be woken up.
"Hmm." Li Tai's arm on the back of her neck moved, put his big hand on the smooth long hair behind her head and stroked it a few times, closed his eyes again, felt the body temperature in his arms slightly lower than his own, and said in a low voice:
"Sleep, the Qionglin Hall will be quiet at night, and no one will disturb you."
