353 Persuasion
As soon as Si Yue went up the steps, he immediately helped Lin Su to stand up, which made several children follow suit.
When I entered the house, I looked at the food on the table, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I came at the right time, I can come to Concubine Ai to eat." ”
Lin Su hurriedly responded with a smile, and then waved his hand to signal Xia Yan to buy dishes and chopsticks for Si Yue. Xia Yan was busy, Chang Fugui on the side also took a hand, Lin Su looked at the appearance of these two people and frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
When she looked up at Si Yue again, she said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't know that the emperor was coming, so this dish is inevitably simpler, and it is made according to the tastes of several children." ”
"I look just right, at least I'm eating at Concubine Ai's, I don't have to worry about some messy things." Si Yue's expression became gloomy at the end, and there was obvious displeasure in his tone.
Lin Su glanced at the children present, a little hesitant, and both Lin Ying and Ah Fu had eyes, and when they saw this, they immediately stood up and excused themselves and said that they were going to the cubicle to eat, so as not to disturb Si Yue and Lin Su.
Si Yue originally came here to have something to say to Lin Su, not to mention that Lingyin Lin Ying was also there, so he was approved. When the palace maids were busy again and moved the children's things to the side hall, everyone was considered stable.
Lin Su got up and personally served Si Yue a small half bowl of Yuzhu duck wolfberry stewed soup, and then said in a low voice: "How about the emperor taste this, I heard that the imperial doctor said that it is good for qi and blood, and the concubines are greedy and want to taste the taste, so let them do it." ”
Si Yue's expression was slightly better, he took the bowl and tasted it, and then put it down and said, "The taste is really good, the concubine has a heart." ”
Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled and added food to Si Yue, and did not take the initiative to say anything. Seeing her like this, the expression on Si Yue's face became more soothing, "You should already know about the affairs of Chaofeng Hall today, right?" ”
"The concubine has heard about it, but I don't know how." Lin Su replied casually, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.
Si Yue was slightly stunned, and then showed a smile.
"You're steady, not impetuous at all." He whispered a tentative word, and Lin Su looked up at Si Yue and said in a low voice, "What's unstable about the concubine?" The concubines are the concubines of the emperor's harem, and their honor and disgrace are tied to the emperor alone. Other people's honor and disgrace, the concubines don't care. ”
Si Yue stretched out his hand and gently touched Lin Su's fingers, and said in a low voice: "It's still Concubine Ai who is the most sensible." I also know how to ...... best" He sighed in a low voice as he spoke, and Lin Su put his hand in Si Yue's palm with his backhand.
"Your Majesty," her voice softened, and her gaze softened, "the concubine understands. One day husband and wife for 100 days, the emperor and the queen have been husband and wife for many years after all...... The emperor is emotional, even if the queen mother has made any disrespectful mistakes, the emperor is soft-hearted and forgives the queen mother, who does not praise the emperor for being affectionate and righteous, and he is a benevolent monarch through the ages? ”
She smiled and served Si Yue with a dish, and then gently withdrew her left hand, "The emperor has been working for the country and the people all day long, and this harem matter should not be a burden on the emperor and make the emperor upset." ”
Si Yue sighed, held Lin Su's hand with one hand, and said in a low voice: "I still love the concubine and understands me." ”
Lin Su lowered his head and didn't let Si Yue see the real mood fluctuations in his eyes. If Si Yue was soft-hearted towards Zhou Shuxian at this time, then the previous layout would really be a failure. Si Yue is a person who does great things, maybe he is not a good husband, but he is definitely a good emperor. For the sake of imperial power and the stability of the government, he will definitely not allow Zhou Shuxian to sit firmly on the throne of the queen.
"The emperor will have dinner first, I've been busy for most of the day. Since the concubines can't share the emperor's worries, then at least they must take care of the emperor's body. After dinner, the concubine instructed the servants to prepare hot water, and the concubine personally served the emperor to bathe? ”
Si Yue nodded, and the two of them officially started eating, and when they finished dinner, Lin Su ordered people to start preparing hot water. On the other hand, it is necessary to arrange Lin Ying's departure from the palace. Taking advantage of Lin Su's busyness, Si Yue called the three children, Ah Fu, Ah Lun and Ah Ling, to come over and talk with him.
When Lin Su went back, he saw Si Yue taking the exam for Ah Fu's homework.
When Ah Fu and the others all retreated, Lin Su waited for Si Yue to enter the bathroom in the ear room, and personally served him to take off his clothes and bathe.
Lin Su's fingers were weak and boneless, and he gently pressed on Si Yue's forehead, massaging the acupuncture points to help him relax. It wasn't until Si Yue squinted her eyes and was half asleep that she whispered.
"The concubine heard that the emperor finally let the queen mother be grounded again?" Her whispered tentative words didn't seem to alert Si Yue, and he was still leaning on the tub, his eyes squinting with a casual "um".
Lin Su's fingers moved slightly, and the force was not light or heavy, just right. Si Yue sighed comfortably, "Just like you said before, a husband and wife are a hundred days." I always feel that I owe it to the queen......"
"The emperor is very affectionate, why don't the concubines know." Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled, his voice was very soft, "The reason why the concubines are affectionate to the emperor is not for this." Her face became redder and redder under the heat of the water vapor, "It's just that the concubine is still a little uneasy." The emperor forbade the queen's feet so much, I'm afraid that the Zhou family will not be, right? She's the only cousin of Lord Lan again......"
Carefully pointed out the forces behind the queen, Lin Su saw that Si Yue didn't seem to react, so he didn't continue to talk about it. There was a moment of silence in the bathroom, and then she smiled and changed the subject.
"Waiting for winter, it will be Ah Fu's tenth birthday, has the emperor ever thought about where he will live?" She smiled and said, "Although this child is not born to the concubine, it is left by Sister Moshan after all." He is smart and well-behaved, and he has some talent for reading, but the concubine wants to keep him by his side for two more years. It's just that now Brother Ying'er is his companion, and it is a little inconvenient to go back and forth in the harem this time. ”
Hearing Lin Su mention the matter of living in the Afu Palace, Si Yue was a little relieved, and thought for a moment before saying: "The Xuantong Courtyard in front is still empty, and the place is quite suitable, closer to the harem, but not too close." After the New Year, let Ah Fu go out and live there. ”
"Then the relics left by Sister Moshan back then, the concubines handed them over to Ah Fu?" Lin Su said: "Although Ah Fu is young, since he knows his life experience, he has always been thinking about his biological mother. ”
