321 New Year
Si Yue looked at the box of dim sum presented by Chang Fugui, and couldn't help but show a smile. Although he was exhausted after a busy day, he was in a good mood at this time.
The harem concubines sent him snacks and porridge soup to replenish the heat. However, it was the first time that his children had sent it and made it with his own hands.
Even if he was hard-hearted, he had to admit that he was really moved when he saw the strangely shaped pastries in the box, and even the fillings were exposed.
originally thought it was just Lin Su's means to compete for favor, but now he knew that this was really his own child's doing. If it was Lin Su, he would definitely not give such a poor-looking pastry.
Si Yue thought so, and his evaluation of Lin Su in his heart was a little higher. pinched the pastry and tasted it, and drank the hot tea that was sent, he unconsciously thought of Zhou Shuxian, who still occupied the position of the queen.
The position of the queen is still the residence of the virtuous.
When it was time for dinner, Si Yue called Chang Fugui to come in and asked him to send someone to Fuliu Hall to inform him that he would go over for dinner, and then deal with the last few pieces.
When he arrived at the Fuliu Palace, he heard the laughter coming from inside from a distance, stretched out his hand to stop the palace maid who wanted to pass it on, and he raised his feet up the steps to listen to the faint sound of speech coming from inside through the thick cotton curtain.
Lin Su seemed to be teaching Ah Fu and Ah Ling to memorize some simple words. Lin Su's voice was soft and smiling, coupled with Ah Fu Yu and Ah Ling's childish voices, it was a different feeling to listen to it.
He opened the curtain and went in, took off his cloak outside, and waited until the cold on his body was warmed by the warm air, and then he listened to the laughter of the people inside and walked in.
"Your Majesty?" Chunyan, who was waiting on the sidelines, immediately raised her head as soon as she saw someone entering, and hurriedly saluted when she saw that it was Si Yue. Lin Su then got up and saluted with the children.
"Get up." Without waiting for them to salute, Si Yue stepped forward to stop him, "I listened to you reciting poems before, Ah Fu memorized it properly, Ah Ling, you can learn it." ”
"Ah Ling will naturally know." Ah Ling raised her chin proudly, "If my father doesn't believe it, Ah Ling will recite it to my father." As she spoke, she recited the verses that Lin Su had taught before.
The two children were still young, and Lin Su didn't teach them any flowery verses, but picked a few simple and catchy sentences. Ah Ling has been smart since she was a child, and in front of Si Yue, she actually carried it down smoothly, which made Si Yue happy and couldn't help but appreciate something.
"Your Majesty, Ah Ling is just a child, why reward her so much. If she has developed her arrogant character...... Lin Su disagreed, but he didn't interrupt Si Yue's words when he rewarded Ah Ling, but it was time for several children to be hugged, so he whispered: "What's more, Concubine Lianchen also has a princess under her knees, can the emperor favor one over the other." ”
"I know what I know." Si Yue put his arm around Lin Su's shoulders, and the two of them sat side by side in the room and talked. Lin Su embroidered the last edge of a shirt in his hand, "It's good that the emperor understands in his heart, in this harem, there has always been no widowhood but unevenness." Concubine Lianchen's second princess and concubine look very cute, since it's the New Year, wouldn't it be better for the emperor to give a reward together? ”
Si Yue's eyes slowly became deep when he looked at Lin Su, and he nodded casually, "What Su'er said is very true, then I will listen to Su'er, and when it comes to the New Year, I will reward my beloved princess one by one." ”
Lin Su smiled and turned back, "The emperor will laugh at the concubines, obviously the emperor has a fixed number in his heart, but now he is relying on the concubines." She said that she asked Chunyan on the side to turn up the lights so that she could continue sewing clothes. Seeing this, Si Yue frowned, "If it's late today, wouldn't you be consuming your eyes and your mind like this." And I am on the side, but the concubine is just staring at a piece of clothing? ”
"This dress was made by the concubine for the emperor." Lin Su smiled and put his clothes aside and asked Chunyan to clean them up, "The concubine is thinking of giving it to the emperor as a New Year's gift." ”
Si Yue motioned to Chunyan, who was waiting, to extinguish a few lights, and then lay down with Lin Su in his arms, and said in a low voice while gently unbuttoning her clothes: "If I boil the watery eyes of the concubine, I will be distressed......"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Su's eyes, Lin Su closed his eyes slightly shyly, although he was already an old husband and wife, but every time her delicate appearance would make Si Yue more emotional.
The New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the underwear that Lin Su privately gave to Si Yue was also hurriedly made on the morning of the second day and sent over.
The first major event of the new year is to worship the ancestors, and Si Yue personally added the names of the second prince, the second princess, and the third prince to the family tree. and set their names, the second prince Si Qi, the third prince Su Yi, and the second princess Si Hui.
The princes didn't reward anything, but the two princesses, Si Ling and Si Hui, were rewarded with titles, one for Princess Jiuchuan and the other for Princess Lanze.
Jiuchuan is just a hundred miles outside the capital, with a vast area and fertile land, which is a rare and good fief. And Lanze, it's just a nice name. However, it is slightly southerly, and it is far from the capital. Although it is said that most princesses will never leave the capital to live elsewhere in their lives, this fief also means that the princess will have more or less private property in the future.
Si Yue's move seemed to be impartial, and even seemed to faintly prefer the second princess, who was just over a year old, but in fact, it gave Ah Ling more benefits. Lin Su looked at the different looks of the goddesses present and didn't say much, but with a faint smile on his face, he hugged Aaron, who was still walking steadily, and occasionally said a word or two to Chunyan beside him, and didn't even look at the empty back seat.
Just because she doesn't look doesn't mean others don't think about it. It has been more than nine months since Zhou Shuxian was grounded. But Si Yue didn't let go at all, it seems that the queen mother has really fallen out of favor.
And now, the person who manages the Six Palaces, the person who is really favored in front of the emperor, is the imperial concubine Niangniang, Lin Su.
Look at Lin Su today, he has both children under his knees, and he has raised a prince who has no mother since he was a child and treats Lin Su like a biological mother. Don't say that the three princes were given names by the emperor when they were born. Even if it is the same daughter, there is a difference between the daughter of the imperial concubine and the daughter of Concubine Lianchen.
The trend of this harem is becoming more and more clear.
