Chapter 39: The Alliance

"Your Majesty ......" Su Shunxian sent Xiaofuzi and walked in.

Zong Zhengjin was reviewing the folds, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and continued to focus on the lines in front of him.

Su Shunxian stood at the bottom, not daring to make the slightest movement, silently waiting for the reaction of the person at the top.

Zong Zhengjin picked up the pen and wrote a few words on it, and finally spoke up, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Zhen made some snacks with her own hands and sent them to the emperor to taste," Su Shunxian said quickly, but he didn't dare to make extra moves.

Zong Zhengjin didn't seem to be aware, Su Shunxian couldn't help but guess what was going on, and was about to withdraw with his things, so he moved a few steps, "Leave things behind." ”

Su Shunxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out the plate of chestnut cake that had been tried for poison, carefully placed it on the dragon case, and retreated by himself.

Zong Zhengjin glanced at the neatly arranged chestnut cake, the appearance was very ordinary, almost the same as that made in the imperial dining room, thinking about it, he still took a piece and took a bite, the taste was ......

…………

"Jin'er, the concubine made chestnut cakes, come and taste it, okay?" A young woman came up with a plate of chestnut cakes and coaxed the child who was playing with the kitten.

The child fed the kitten, "Mother, Jin'er is a little man, and she doesn't eat the food of her daughter's family." ”

He still remembered what the second emperor brother said to him yesterday, men don't eat sweets.

The woman was dressed in a blue palace dress, her hair was combed and dizzy, and an ordinary hosta, she looked plain, but she had a different flavor, and she smiled helplessly, "Okay, Jin'er is a little man, but the mother concubine specially made it for Jin'er, don't Jin'er taste it?" The mother is going to be sad. ”

"Good mother, don't be sad, Jin'er will eat a piece," he said, getting up from the ground, but he wanted to get it.

The woman hurriedly stopped him, took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped his hands, "Jin'er should pay attention to cleanliness." ”

"Mother, it's so delicious, what you make is even better than the one sent from the imperial dining room, Jin'er likes the mother the most."

…………

Zong Zhengjin picked it up one by one, ate it bite by bite, and the picture of his childhood kept coming to his mind, and he had long forgotten the woman's face, vaguely, and only knew a general appearance.

That painting was painted by his own hands, and with his own memory, stroke by stroke, it was painted to the bottom of his heart, and everything related to his mother, including people, had been destroyed by people.

There is no record in the history books, which is said to have been ordered by his father, and the only thing that can prove the existence of that beautiful woman is probably only his blood-related son.

It's a pity that even if he is an emperor, he can't resist the loss of memory, the blurring of the years, forgetting her appearance, forgetting the bits and pieces of getting along, and forgetting her care and tenderness for him.

He had long forgotten what the chestnut cake made by his mother tasted like it, but he knew that it was delicious and delicious, and it was the most delicious dim sum he had ever eaten, so in order to remember this taste and remember this taste forever, he rarely ate dim sum, especially chestnut cake.

At this time, I chose to taste it, just to see if there was really a miracle, maybe it would really be the same, but it was different in the end, and it didn't coincide with the taste in my memory.

The reason for him to finish eating is probably just a "personal hand", perhaps, and this warmth.

Before the queen's grounding period arrived, the emperor suddenly decided to go hunting in Xishan in the near future, and ordered Shu Guifei, Xianfei and Shufei to temporarily take charge of all matters in the harem.

All of a sudden, Chonghua Palace, Changchun Palace and Yanxi Palace were crowded, and there was an endless stream of people who came to inquire about the news.

Someone even found Su Jingxi.

Drunken Cloud Dock

Li Liangyuan and Ling Guiren came in, saluted, and sat aside after waking up, drinking tea quietly.

Su Jingxi was a little impatient, and was about to speak, when Li Liangyuan spoke, "Sister Zhen's tea here is really good, I don't know how many times better than my sister's place." ”

Su Jingxi didn't answer, the tea she ordered someone to take out to entertain them was just of average quality, and it was just a share of the province in the palace, maybe it was a little better, but just took a sip like this, and it was absolutely impossible to taste it.

Li Liangyuan didn't feel embarrassed, and after chatting a few words, she got to the point.

"Sister Li, why do you think that this concubine has the ability to influence the emperor's decision," Su Jingxi glanced at the person sitting next to her and said lightly.

Li Liangyuan was resentful in her heart, even if she had been mentally prepared before coming, but when she faced it at the moment, it was still difficult to accept these gaps, "Look at what Sister Zhen said, my sister is just here to inquire about a few words, why did she get involved in the emperor's decision?" ”

"Yes, Sister Jane, don't misunderstand the two of us, it's just that I want my sister to help my sisters," Ling Guiren also said.

In terms of family background, she is not known how many times stronger than Concubine Zhen, she also has a few things to take, much better than the rumored Concubine Zhen who is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in terms of appearance, although it is a little worse, but the two are different types, and the emperor will not identify her like this.

But when he entered the palace, he was not only pressed by Concubine Zhen all the time, but also had several differences in position.

If it weren't for the fact that the road of Chonghua Palace would not work, and Concubine Shu would not have done superficial work, if she went to Yanxi Palace, she was afraid of getting into trouble, as for Changchun Palace, she received her politely, but no matter what she said, she was blocked back, and there was no useful news.

"If you think so, then the two sisters can go, the concubine herself doesn't know what the result is, and she really doesn't care about anything else," Su Jingxi put down the teacup and said in a tone that didn't care about herself.

Li Liangyuan was angry in her heart, and she didn't want to stay longer at the moment, so she left coldly, listening to her sentence of "this concubine", I just thought that she was deliberately taking the position to oppress people.

Helian Lingyu hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's my sister who thinks badly, I heard that Sister Zhen has always loved crystals, and my sister happens to have a pair of sapphire inlaid pearl earrings here, I don't know if my sister has a blue crystal and pearl hairpin to give to my sister?" ”

Su Jingxi glanced at the pair of earrings she took out and put on the table, carefully read her words in her mind, and turned her cold eyes, "It's a pity that my sister asked, this concubine does have many crystal-style hairpins, but there are just no hairpins in the same way that my sister said." “

Helian Lingyu's face stiffened, and he put away the pair of pendants stiffly, "In this case, it was my sister who disturbed me." ”

"The noble man walks slowly."

Connecting branches, connecting into one branch, is for the alliance.

"Master, what do you mean by a noble person?" Dai Man was a little puzzled on the side, a little inexplicable that she suddenly begged for jewelry like her master.

Su Jingxi stood up and went to the inner room, "I just want jewelry." ”

Self-righteous, do you really think she's a stupid person?

It's just that her forbearance today made her look at it twice, obviously, Helian Lingyu is much higher than Yu Xunmei's means, and maybe she will be another big opponent in the future.

"Master, what else do you want to bring?" Hearing Yao cleaned up for two days, he still couldn't come up with an idea, so he had to ask the main master.

When the emperor came over two days ago, he saw Su Jingxi reading the travelogue of Chu Zhouguo, and after chatting a few words, he suddenly decided to go hunting this year, but Su Jingxi was very happy.

Su Jingxi didn't know what the other concubines were with her, but there must be her.

Su Jingxi walked over, glanced at the things they packed, the four big boxes were full, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Why are there so many things?" Dress lightly and cut out some of them. ”

Dai Man was not happy, and hurriedly persuaded, "Master, you still have a little bit of this, and there are still some things that have not been cleaned up, which concubine in the harem does not travel much, and the year before last, Concubine Shu had seven big boxes." ”

Su Jingxi thought about that picture and resolutely disagreed, "No need, it's just a half-moon, you can prepare more than a dozen sets of dresses, a few cloaks, a few sets of riding clothes, jewelry and the like, let's keep it simple." ”

Su Jingxi thought about it very well, the dress and skirt were enough, you can set one set a day to prevent rain or something, as for the rest, just be casual, after all, the time is only about half a month.

Hearing Yao's disagreement, she followed and persuaded, "Master, there are other accompanying concubines, not all of them are fighting for favor, dressing up is a big problem, and it is best to make the emperor refreshed at all times." ”

Su Jingxi was amused, "Okay, okay, this concubine said that you can't take one or two more sets, you really don't need so much, what the emperor remembers is me, not those clothes, especially those repeated palace skirts." ”

Tingyao and the others couldn't, so they had to open the boxes again and repack them one by one, but they brought all the new dresses for the New Year with them.

"This time, let Tingyao and Xianxiang accompany the concubine, as well as Xiao Anzi, Xiao Shunzi, and Xiao Luzi will follow, and the others will stay in Zuiyunwu," Su Jingxi thought for a while and decided.

"Dai Man, Xiao Fuzi, this place will be handed over to you, this concubine is not here, you must not slack off, and you must not let people take advantage of the loopholes."

Dai Man and the others hurriedly knelt down, "Slave|slave obeys the order." ”

After lunch, the news finally came out from Zichen Palace, the concubines who accompanied them were Xiang Jieyu, Zhen Concubine, Ning Liangdi, Ling Guiren and Qi Guiren who had just been promoted to Xiaoyi some time ago.

The time was set for three o'clock after tomorrow.

There are not many people, except for an old man, Xiang Jieyu, the rest are all new to the palace, everyone is high-spirited, and those who are not selected are naturally resentful and resentful, but unfortunately it has become a fact.

Zichen Palace

Zong Zhengjin looked at the evidence presented by the people below, and snorted coldly, "My harem is getting more and more lively, and those women are getting bolder and bolder." ”

But wouldn't that be better for him?

It's just that she can't be moved yet, so the queen will bear it first, and she hasn't been wronged anyway.

Su Shunxian didn't dare to answer, so he just knelt like this.

This night, the emperor stayed in Chonghua Palace.
