Chapter 11: Alliances
"The concubine is already well, come to greet the emperor, isn't the emperor happy?"
Zong Zhengjin saw her staring at him closely, as if he wouldn't stop until he said why, and sighed, "I'm happy, Xi'er came to greet me, and I'm very relieved." ”
Su Jingxi smiled lightly, "The concubine knows that the emperor will be happy." ”
"Now that Xi'er is well, the night is long, why don't you do something else?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine is actually ......" Su Jingxi wrapped her arms around his neck and bit her lip, a little at a loss.
Zong Zhengjin put her on the bed, "How is Xi'er?" Well? ”
"The concubine should serve the emperor well," Su Jingxi raised her eyebrows and said glutinously.
Zong Zhengjin also raised his eyebrows, obviously very scared and shy, but he wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but he came to provoke him.
"Don't worry, I won't touch Xi'er's wounds."
Zong Zhengjin was satisfied with her, the two had not had sex for many days, but they were just thinking about her body, and they were not happy this night.
After a round, Su Jingxi lay on his chest, slowing down his breath and calming his feelings.
Zong Zhengjin caressed her bare back, smooth and delicate, like silk, "Xi'er's physical strength doesn't seem to be good. ”
Su Jingxi frowned slightly, and looked at him with blinking eyes, "That's the emperor's majesty, physical strength." ”
Zong Zhengjin saw that his two small shadows were reflected in her eyes, and said such words with a distressed expression, and suddenly felt that there was a stream of air rushing straight down to her.
"Then I'm going to have to verify it," he rolled over and pressed her underneath.
Su Jingxi's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, don't ......"
…………
Su Shunxian led everyone to deliberately take their actions lightly and serve the emperor, without looking at the curtain tent, this is definitely a blessing.
Zong Zhengjin finished freshening up, and for some reason, the moment he stepped out of the door, he turned around and went back to the inner room, opened the incense tent, and saw that the person had a ruddy complexion, a long breath, and was still asleep.
It's just a turnover, the thin quilt on his body slides down to the fragrant shoulder, and a little red plum jumps in front of him on the collarbone.
He chuckled and covered her with the quilt before walking out again.
"Serve Su Guiren well, so that she doesn't have to go to the queen to say goodbye."
Listening to Yao and the others knelt on the ground, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”
"Listen to Yao, what time is it?" Su Jingxi opened her eyes in confusion.
"Master, it's already three o'clock in the hour, and the emperor leaves at two o'clock, and the master is named a nobleman, so that the master doesn't have to say hello to the queen."
"Well, I'll sleep again, and I'll wake me up later," Fu closed his eyes again.
She has been in the limelight too much in the past two days, it is better not to ask for peace, the queen should not attack her for a while, after all, she still wants a reputation for being virtuous.
After breakfast, not long after, "Master, Li Liangyuan from Yiying Pavilion, Du Cairen from Zhiqing Yuan, and Ruan Meiren from Haoyue Xuan are here," Dai Man walked in and said.
Su Jingxi stood up, "Hurry up and let them in." ”
She didn't expect that there would be Yu Xunmei among the people who would come over first, her position was higher than her, and she naturally couldn't send her away.
greeted each other, "I didn't expect Sister Li to come to visit my sister," Su Jingxi said politely.
Li Liangyuan picked up the silver-white dotted Zhu Liuxia porcelain cup on the table and took a sip, "My sister's tea here is really good, it's much better than my sister's." ”
"What Sister Li said is that my sister feels good when she drinks it, and the best Biluochun is willing to be taken out by my sister to entertain my sister," Ruan Meiren also said.
Su Jingxi didn't know what they meant, and there was a faint hint of flattery in and out of her words.
Following their words, "Look at what you said, I just have a little tea, where can I compare to the golden silk fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade beads that the emperor rewarded my sister a few days ago." ”
Sure enough, seeing that the smiles of the other two froze, Su Jingxi just pretended not to see it, and did not wait for them to speak, and continued, "I don't know if my sister and two sisters are coming, but what's the matter?" ”
"I just came to visit my sister, and I heard that my sister had a leg injury yesterday, so I thought about coming, but I ...... That's why I chose to come with my two sisters today," Li Liangyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, everyone lives close, they are in the same East Sixth Palace, and they are the same batch of show girls entering the palace, so the feelings are naturally different, my sister said yes or no?" Ruan Meiren also followed the words.
Su Jingxi chuckled, "Everyone is sisters, and they all serve the emperor when they enter the palace, so they really shouldn't be separated from each other." ”
"Sister really thinks so?" Du Wanxi, who had not spoken since entering the door, said the first sentence.
Su Jingxi turned her head to look at her, her lips lightly opened, "Don't you think my sister thinks so?" ”
"If my sister changes her mind, please let my sister know, my sister will be waiting for my sister at any time," Li Liangyuan obviously didn't expect her to refuse, and she didn't say anything.
Su Jingxi nodded, "This is natural, thank you sister for your kindness today." ”
A few more people chatted a few more words and left.
"Master, what do you mean by Liliangyuan?" Ting Yao has been standing on the side and listening clearly.
"The master must not agree," Dai Man also said quickly.
Su Jingxi flicked the tea lid, "Why can't you agree?" ”
Dai Man knew that this was the time to show loyalty, and he was not ambiguous, and said directly, "Now that the little lord is a nobleman, and he has a bit of holy favor, it is very unfavorable to Li Liangyuan, if he agrees to them, the little lord will ......."
Before she finished speaking, Su Jingxi knew what she meant.
Not only them, if she agreed to them, I am afraid that the queen and Concubine Shu will not be used to her at all, and more importantly, there is also the emperor, I am afraid that he is the person who does not want her to do this.
Walked to the dresser, took out a magpie hairpin, and handed it to Dai Man, "You did a good job, and you should do the same in the future." ”
took a silver hairpin to Ting Yao, not favoring one over the other, "You serve me, only if I am good, you can be good." ”
"The slave and maid understand that they must serve the little master well," both of them were blessed.
Whether the reward is good or not is secondary, but this is a kind of affirmation and recognition.
The emperor stayed in Zuiyunwu for five consecutive days, and everyone was very happy, but Su Jingxi was worried.
This night, after being turned over by the red waves, the mandarin ducks crossed their necks.
Su Jingxi gagged her lips slightly, and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty ......"
I don't know what crazy he is doing tonight, his movements are very rude, deep and urgent, she can't bear it at all.
Zong Zhengjin frowned, and lifted the person up, "Settle down, I won't touch you." ”
Su Jingxi leaned into his arms, answered, hugged his waist and closed his eyes.
For a long time, Zong Zhengjin didn't fall asleep, looking at the sleeping face of the person next to the pillow, "Xi'er, don't change." ”
Su Jingxi snorted and turned over, and where he couldn't see, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear.
The corners of Zong Zhengjin's mouth rose and he closed his eyes.
On the second day, Su Jingxi finally decided to go to the queen to say goodbye.
On the way, "Say hello to Concubine Xian," Su Jingxi saw Concubine Xian's guard of honor from a distance and stood aside to salute.
Concubine Xian waved her hand, and the sedan chair stopped, "Get up, Sister Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" ”
"The concubine is already well, Lao Niangniang bothered," Su Jingxi said as usual.
Concubine Xian chuckled, "In that case, let's go with the palace to say hello to the queen." ”
"Yes."
Although Concubine Xian had a gentle face and a smile on her eyebrows, Su Jingxi didn't dare to really treat her as a good person.
Now that he has entered the palace, how many good people can there be?
Just because she is the only one in the harem who has given birth to a second princess and raised her so far, Su Jingxi can't underestimate her.
In front of the queen, even though she is now in a high position, she has been respectful and thoughtful for more than ten years, and this forbearance is worth learning from Su Jingxi.
After entering the main hall, even if Su Jingxi tried to reduce her sense of existence, she still couldn't avoid her eyes.
"Sister Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I shouldn't see my sister again in this palace," Concubine Shu pinched her handkerchief and said without hesitation.
Su Jingxi smiled lightly when she heard this, "How can it be, my sister can't come to greet the queen mother these days, and I can't come to talk to my sisters and sisters, I am always worried in my heart, no, I came as soon as my leg is healed, how can my sister feel that I can't see my sister." ”
You curse me, I disgust you.
"Sister Su has been raising it for a few days, this mouth is getting more and more clever," Xiang Jieyu pointed at Su Jingxi, looking funny.
Su Jingxi didn't care anymore, and followed her words, "No, people have to learn something when they grow up, my sister eats a lot, and naturally it grows on her mouth." ”
The voice fell, and he smiled coquettishly, and he didn't know how sincere he was, whether it was true or false, and only he knew it in his heart.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
"Concubines/concubines/concubines greet the queen," everyone saluted.
If you want to talk about the queen, it's really sad enough.
As a **, husband and child, multiplication of heirs, need to fulfill the responsibility of the insider; As the queen, she leads by example, commands the six palaces, and needs to take care of the backyard for the emperor; As the mother of the country, the mother of the world, and the assistant emperor, it is necessary to grasp the delicate balance of the former dynasty and the harem.
If you do it well, it is your duty, and if you don't do it well, you will attract the anger of the emperor and the scolding of the people of the world.
The only thing that can be enjoyed is only the glory of the high, and the wealth that everyone in the world yearns for, facing their little wives every day, seeing them all need to kneel on the ground to salute, and come to say goodbye every day, which is also her only psychological comfort.
"Sisters, please."
After taking a seat, Su Jingxi walked out and made a big salute, "A few days ago, the concubine couldn't come to greet the queen, and I hope the queen will forgive her sins." ”
The queen hurriedly motioned to the palace maid next to her to help her up, "Sister Su is inevitably too regular, my sister had an injury in her leg a few days ago, and it is understandable that she can't come to ask for peace, and besides, it was ordered by the emperor himself, so my sister doesn't have to worry." ”
Seeing that the faces of the others changed, and their resentful eyes were all on her, then he said, "Huilin, go to the palace library and get a few good medicinal materials for Su Guiren." ”
"The concubine is guilty, and the mother's reward is really unbearable," Su Jingxi refused.
