Chapter 63: The Cloak
After the emperor promulgated that decree, everyone thought that the queen would make a big fuss in the harem, or at least find the emperor to theorize, of course, this was just the secret speculation of those concubines with lower status.
The high-ranking concubines have all been in the harem for several years, and they all found a few traces of unusual breath from this ordinary will, and after their own guesses, they all stood still and closed their doors.
Until the evening, there was no movement in Kunning Palace, but after dinner, it was reported that Kunning Palace invited the imperial doctor, and then, the queen issued a decree, the queen's old illness recurred, the phoenix body was not safe, and the concubines were changed from asking for peace every day to asking for peace every three days.
The emperor did not say anything.
Su Jingxi secretly guessed the queen's purpose for doing this, it seemed that she was "sick" in order to cooperate with the emperor, and she just gave Shu Guifei a reason to assist in the harem, but in fact, she was only afraid that she would retreat and advance, and be virtuous and generous.
But in the end, no one would be that stupid.
For example, Zong Zhengjin, in the face of such an excuse sent to the door, maybe he didn't even bother to use it, and such a humble flattery would have little effect.
For example, Concubine Shu, whether she has the power to assist in the six palaces, has little effect on her, and the role of favor has never been lost to the power, it can be seen from the fact that she has struggled with the queen for many years and still has the upper hand, such an excuse similar to charity, she is only afraid of sneering.
"You go and pick a gift and send it to Kunning Palace, pay attention to those things that are not easy to be manipulated."
Tingyao nodded, "Yes, the slave understands, the master can rest assured." ”
Don't say hello, you can sleep again tomorrow.
This night, it is not surprising that the emperor stayed in Chonghua Palace.
"Master, the plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming, do you want to go and see it" Dai Man saw her lying on the couch, bored, so he suggested.
Su Jingxi glanced at the sky outside, the sun was just right, "Okay, lying like this all day, my muscles and bones are lazy." ”
Dai Man chuckled, "The master has been lying down since he entered the palace, and it is time to be lazy." ”
"Okay, you, now you dare to make fun of your master," Su Jingxi put on the hibiscus fox collar cloak and smiled.
This was sent by Zong Zhengjin a few days ago, it is said that it was to compensate her for the white fox that she promised to her during the hunt, and according to her size, she had just made a cloak, which was very warm.
This is somewhat beyond her grade, the fur is too precious, Su Jingxi knows that this is not an ordinary white fox thing, but she is always unwilling to put it aside for waste.
After all, the emperor gave it, who dares to say more.
As for herself, she had never been willing to live tremblingly, and had done too many "restless" things, and it didn't make much difference if she had done more, besides, she believed, he would be satisfied with what she had done.
Plum Garden
As the name suggests, the plum garden is really just a plum garden, the area is huge, but obviously not only ordinary plum blossoms, royal production, since everywhere reveals extraordinary, the quality is guaranteed.
The plum blossoms here are always taken care of, its varieties can be said to be the great achievements of the world, all kinds of rare treasures are innumerable here, every plum tree, every plum blossom, all have their own characteristics.
It is rumored that it was because the concubine of the previous dynasty was particularly fond of plum blossoms, and the emperor collected many rare varieties for her and transplanted them here.
"Sister Zhen, you are also here to enjoy the plum" Ling Guiren saw Su Jingxi coming here at a glance, so he said almost immediately, attracting everyone's attention.
"Concubine see concubine."
Su Jingxi couldn't hide anymore, so she had to come over and give her a hand, "Sisters, please get up." ”
Almost all the concubines who entered the palace with her are here, except for Du Guiren, Li Liangyuan and Qi Xiaoyi, who are pregnant.
"The concubine asked Ning Shunyi to say goodbye," the same is from the four grades, and only the flat courtesy.
Ning Xiuying glanced at the cloak on her body, not only her, almost everyone present was attracted by the cloak on her body at a glance, not to mention at home, even in the palace, they had never received such a good thing, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Sister Zhen doesn't have to be polite," Ning Shunyi also bowed.
Su Jingxi didn't seem to hear her yin and yang weirdness, so she found a place in the garden and sat down quietly to enjoy the plum blossoms.
It's a pity that there are always people who don't want to let her get her wish.
"This cloak on Sister Jane's body is really beautiful, my sister has never seen such a beautiful cloak," Ling Guiren said with a look of envy.
Ning Shunyi was not to be outdone, "Yes, what this concubine has been assigned this year is just rabbit fur material, where is there such good luck as my sister." ”
Su Jingxi hooked the corners of her mouth, and when they were all finished, she spoke unhurriedly, "Yes, this concubine doesn't know how rare this material is, and I haven't seen it before." ”
The others immediately remembered that Su Jingxi was just a person from a five-grade official family before, a complete small family, and many of the people here had a much better family background than her, so when they thought about it, their hearts were even more unbalanced.
Su Jingxi didn't give them a chance to continue to say sour words, "It's just that this is a gift from the emperor, and the emperor didn't tell the concubine how rare this material was, but only said that he would make a cloak for the concubine." ”
Everyone was indignant and didn't dare to say much, daring to question the emperor, but they were afraid that they didn't want to live.
Su Jingxi successfully blocked their mouths for a while, and in order to keep their ears quiet, she decided, "This concubine wants to walk around, so she won't talk to her sisters." ”
"Sister Zhen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, could it be that you dislike all the sisters and don't want to wait with me for more" Helian Lingyu asked innocently, and there was a little grievance in his tone.
Su Jingxi sighed silently in her heart, glanced at the people who were sitting, all of them were uneven, and smiled lightly, "It's that this concubine has been in Zuiyunwu for a long time, and her body is inevitably a little uncomfortable, so she wants to move around more, presumably all the sisters can also understand this concubine." ”
It's all said and done, and it's naturally not easy for others to say much.
This is the reason why officials crush people to death, if there is someone with a higher rank than Su Jingxi here at this time, there can be at least ten ways for her to stay in this garden.
Walking among the various plum trees, and after a while, they left their resentful sight, Su Jingxi exhaled in her heart, "I will fold a few plum blossoms later, and I will remember that there is a blue and white bottom glass bottle in the library, so I will use that one." ”
"Yes, the slave remembers," Dai Man replied.
"The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon, the concubine thinks this is right, what does the emperor think?"
As soon as Dai Man's words fell, Su Jingxi heard a voice not far away, and when she looked around, she could really faintly see a touch of yellow, and when she was thinking about whether to go over, Zong Zhengjin had already walked over here.
Su Jingxi smiled bitterly, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The concubine is the emperor." ”
Zong Zhengjin was dealing with government affairs, but when he heard Su Shun gossip that the plum blossoms in the plum garden were blooming, he raised his interest and went here to take a look, and in order to avoid encountering idle people and other people who disturbed his interest, he deliberately picked a remote road, and didn't want to meet An Liangdi as soon as he entered, so he walked along.
Now, I've met her again.
"Get up," Zong Zhengjin saw that she was wrapped like a zongzi, with several thick layers, and there was no trace of curvy and bewitching beauty on her body, but her face was very cute.
"Why did you have the heart to come out today?"
Su Jingxi raised her eyebrows, "The concubine must have sensed that the emperor would also come to enjoy the plums, so she came to meet them by chance." ”
After saying that, Su Jingxi realized that there were other people around, not when the two of them were alone, and smiled at An Liangdi with some embarrassment.
An Shuyao also lightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and her reaction was mediocre, she came to enjoy the plums, and after Su Jingxi left, she also left to travel alone, and met the emperor on the way, and she walked together, chatting a few words of poetry, and didn't want to meet her in a corner.
Zong Zhengjin didn't care what other people thought in their hearts, she was amused, and walked over and touched her head habitually, "You always have a lot of crooked reasoning." ”
Su Jingxi gave him a sweet smile, "That's because the concubine is smart and can always think of crooked reasons that are different from the emperor's great principles." ”
"When did I tell you a big truth," Zong Zhengjin asked casually.
Su Jingxi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Every sentence of the emperor is a golden mouth, and it is naturally a famous saying that the world flaunts and learns, which is no different from the great truth." ”
"Haha," Zong Zhengjin laughed, "According to what you said, in order to avoid the death of the people from learning too many great truths, I should not speak"
"The emperor has something to say to the concubine, that is, the concubine is willing to learn the truth," full of sycophancy.
"You, you," Zong Zhengjin shook his head with a smile on his face, obviously there was nothing he could do with her, "full of different hearts. ”
"The concubines are all emperors in their hearts, and the emperor naturally knows that the concubines are inconsistent," Since it has been filmed to this point, why not have a little more."
"You are always reasonable," Zong Zhengjin looked helpless, but there was a bit of pampering and tenderness in his eyes.
“”
“”
An Shuyao stood aside and listened to the two of them laughing lowly, the content of the speech was not very clear, and she could only hear the laughter from the two of them from time to time, especially the emperor, who she had never seen before.
When he stayed with her, he could only play chess, or discuss poetry and poetry with her, such as just now, but this feeling is completely different.
Even if he is smiling, the smile can't reach the bottom of his eyes, even if he is talking, he always feels that his mind has drifted away, not in her place, let alone laughing like this, she can feel his good mood when she stands here.
And she, at the moment, is a quiet spectator.
"The concubine sees the emperor," Yu Xunmei came over and saluted, with a happy face.
"The courtiers see the emperor," Yu Fujin also saluted, lowering his eyebrows.
