Eighty-seven Opportunities
The craftsman knew who the study was repaired for, and he worked with 120,000 points. One of the difficulties is that Xie Meiren is pregnant now, although she lives in the apse, and the small study is in the west of the front hall, but if the construction is big, who can afford to alarm Xie Meiren's fetal gas? So the people who have come to work in the past few days not only do their work with care, but also wrap their feet in thick cloths, and they don't even make much noise when they walk.
In the process of repairing and supplementing the small study, he also spared no materials, especially the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the bookcase, which were made of thin mica shell grinding out of bright tiles, and finely inlaid together. The four floor-to-ceiling windows have different patterns on them, namely spring orchid, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum. With these four windows alone, you can look at them every day without getting bored. Shainin came to see it once, and her favorite was the spring window, the orchids were particularly elegant. There is also a row of skylights on the wall where the bookshelves are placed, and the window lattices are also particularly exquisite.
Before moving to Yong'an Palace, Xie Ning felt that Yong'an Palace was more spacious and had a better location than Yingxiang Pavilion. After I came, I realized that I was wrong, compared with Yong'an Palace, the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion simply became a grass eaves hut. The main hall of Yong'an Palace is more magnificent and exquisite, and even the foundation stone of the wall is carved on the head. Last time I went to Shoukang Palace, she also found that the eaves of Shoukang Palace were full of Shou characters and Kang characters, and the fonts on each tile were different.
The study has been cleaned, but only two bookshelves have books and a few toys, the gauze lamp on the desk has been lit, and the lampshade is painted with white snow and red plums, and the plum blossoms are lifelike and almost chaotic. The red sandalwood bookcase was spotlessly clean, and the light shadow was like a mirror.
"It's good, you're still pregnant with a child, so you don't have to worry about it like this."
Xie Ning obviously only came up with two or three ideas, and the others were the ingenuity of the craftsmen, but at this time, the emperor put all the credit on her head, and Xie Ning explained with a smile: "The concubine didn't do anything, and the Communist Party came to see it twice." ”
The emperor sat down on the bookcase and tried it, nodded and said, "Yes, I remember that there is also a set of landscape stone inkstones and pen holders in the library, which are just right here." ”
The chair was quite large, and the emperor patted the vacant seat beside him: "Come and sit." ”
Xie Ning smiled and shook his head: "I can't sit down." ”
She was okay before, but now she's obviously not a circle of thick waist.
The emperor still stretched out his hand, Xie Ning walked to him, was pulled by the emperor, and sat on his lap involuntarily.
"That's how you can sit down."
Xie Ning glanced at the door, and the people who followed him had already retreated outside the door.
Shainin whispered, "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”
"And there is no one else."
That's true. Xie Ning blushed and said softly, "Then sit down." ”
The emperor hugged her and smiled.
There is still some time left before going to bed, just enough to talk for a while. The emperor will not discuss the real military affairs with her, and Shainin doesn't know much about them. However, the emperor will still talk to her about some side things.
For example, the king of Yunjun had the joy of making tiles the day before yesterday.
Xie Ning heard about this county king in a trance and asked, "This is the fifth daughter, right?" “
"That's right." The emperor nodded with a smile.
The first three daughters were born to the original spouse, and the last two daughters were born to the stepfamily, he is very upright, unlike other people's houses, which are all women, but one after another gave birth to daughters, hoping that his son just didn't come, and it was enough for him to be sad.
There is also the second son of the king of Changjun, who was beaten by his eldest brother from a famous Kabuki in the street, and I heard that the princess of Changjun couldn't even recognize her son because of her swollen face, it seems that he has to settle down for a while, at least he will definitely not come out to be embarrassed until his little white face is swollen.
The emperor said some trivial things, and asked her again: "What have you done today?" ”
Xie Ning said: "In the morning, the concubine was admiring the flowers in the back garden, and the peach blossoms had already bloomed. Later, Shi Shunyi's sister came to sit down and talked together for a while. ”
The emperor smiled and nodded, and his hand lightly pressed against her stomach: "Did he trouble you again today?" ”
"A few kicks before lunch."
"Did he kick it when he was hungry?"
Xie Ning shook his head: "Lunch is at the usual hour, and it's not late." ”
"Then let's eat half an hour in advance." The emperor said as a matter of course: "Adults can talk about the rules, what rules do children know?" If you are hungry, you will find something to eat, and if you don't eat, you will naturally be troubled. I turned around and ordered Fang Shanggong to tell her to remember to remind you Ming'er. ”
Shainin could only respond.
"When it comes to Fang Shang Palace, this person is very careful. If you think she's good, let her stay and serve you, right? ”
Shainin didn't take a sip.
She felt that Fang Shanggong might not be willing to stay for a long time.
The hot water prepared early also came in handy, and the emperor still stayed in Yong'an Palace at night.
Hu Rong volunteered to fetch hot water for Fang Shang Palace. He aspires to become a great eunuch like Bai Hongqi and Zhou Yuchen, not only because they have status, but also because of their ability to anticipate things first. He understands very well that even if the master promotes him to be the chief eunuch of Yong'an Palace today, he can't do this job, he doesn't have that ability yet.
Now there is no eunuch in charge of Yong'an Palace, and that is because the master moved over in a hurry. But there will always be such a person.
Now there is such a powerful master as Fang Shanggong, now I don't know if it is too late for him to kowtow and call the master? As long as Fang Shanggong is willing to instruct him, let alone let him call his aunt and master, even if he is called grandma.
Fang Shanggong was sitting there folding clothes, and she didn't feel too surprised when Hu Rong came in with water. Hu Rong smiled and brought the basin to the front: "Fang Shanggong, Aunt Fang, the little one is waiting for your old man to wash his feet, right?" ”
Fang Shanggong smiled: "You monkey, what does this look like?" Where did you get your green plums? ”
"Sister Qingmei is in the master's house, don't you remember? She's on duty tonight. ”
Fang Shanggong nodded, and said to him again: "Don't take a bite of you, you're not old." ”
Hu Rong hurriedly laughed: "Yes, yes, you are right, then I will call you Sister Fang, do you think I have climbed high again?" ”
Looking at Fang Shanggong under the lamp, he really looked younger than during the day, and when he smiled, it was almost impossible to tell his age, and Hu Rong's sister was really not reluctant.
"Okay, you don't have to tease me like that, I don't want to laugh when I'm about to fall asleep. You just want to ask about the emperor's coming over tonight, right? ”
Hu Rong nodded again and again, and moved a small stool over to wait for Fang Shanggong to wash his feet, looking like he was listening carefully.
"I just don't understand, even if the emperor doesn't stay in Yanning Palace, how can he come over without even having dinner?"
Hu Rong counted the time repeatedly at night, the time of the first meal in the palace was the same, and individual masters who were not valued might be neglected and postponed, but Concubine Shu would definitely not delay it. Why did the emperor leave Yanning Palace at dinner?
He wanted to know more, how could Fang Shanggong have expected this first?
It's just that you can predict what is going to happen in advance. And this is not someone else, it is to anticipate the emperor's movements, what an amazing ability.
"It's not a scheming, I don't have the ability to stumble on Concubine Shu, and I can't have the ears and eyes to find out the news in Yanning Palace." Fang Shanggong sat upright and told Hu Rong seriously: "You are still young, and you have few things, so you can't think of it." Let me ask you, how was the court and harem law during the first emperor's time? What about today? ”
Hu Rong thought for a while and said softly: "The first emperor didn't catch up with the small ones, I heard people say that the first emperor had no laws and rules at all, the court was in chaos, and the harem was even more smoky and miasma." Today's saints are wise and decisive, whether it is the court or the harem, they are all in order. ”
It is definitely not okay to say bad things about the first emperor out loud, but the situation of the first emperor at that time really made it impossible for people to say good with their conscience. Hu Rong didn't know how to mess up in the court, but when he hadn't entered the palace, he heard that the emperor didn't ask about political affairs at all, and all the major affairs of the court were controlled by a group of villains, which made the people of the world miserable. After entering the palace, he knew more. The first emperor was so lascivious and lustful that he could do whatever he wanted, and even eight or nine-year-old girls were taken captive in the palace. It is said that the women favored by the first emperor also included widows, the wives of courtiers, Taoist aunts, and the top red prostitutes in the fireworks lane of the capital, which was all-encompassing.
Fang Shanggong nodded: "That's it." It is precisely because of the corruption of discipline in the time of the first emperor that the emperor now attaches more importance to the rules, and as the son of heaven, he should set an example for the officials and the people. What did the emperor do when he went to Yanning Palace? ”
Hu Rong did not hesitate: "I went to Princess Yuyao, and the emperor attaches great importance to his children." "If Concubine Shu still has a favor, she won't let her mother's family come into the palace to help.
Fang Shanggong smiled but did not speak.
Hu Rong suddenly understood.
The emperor went to see Princess Yuyao, but Concubine Shu wanted to push the two young girls in front of the emperor. One of them is also her niece, that is, Princess Yuyao's cousin. How could the emperor, a person who attaches great importance to the rules, allow such unethical behavior to happen in front of his daughter? Although there are many beauties in the palace, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be things that mess up the generations, and the relationships between aunts and nephews and nephews have been in the previous dynasties. But today, in front of the princess, the emperor will definitely not smile at the beauty who is in his arms.
In fact, Princess Yuyao is still young and ignorant, even if the emperor accepts her aunt and cousin in front of her daughter, she doesn't understand the meaning of these things.
But the line in the emperor's heart cannot be crossed, and Concubine Shu is really self-defeating today.
Fang Shanggong knew that he understood when he looked at him.
"Actually, it's nothing to put it bluntly."
The fanaticism in Hu Rong's heart has not diminished.
To put it bluntly, there is no mystery in this matter, but it can be deduced and predicted in advance, how many people in the palace can do it?
There are only a few of them, but I am afraid that it is less than a palm, and Fang Shanggong is among these few people.
"You said you wanted me to teach you, but I really don't have anything to teach you." Fang Shanggong said softly, "You have to learn to think for yourself." ”
Hu Rong knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you Aunt Fang for your guidance." ”
Fang Shanggong had already taught him the same skill that was hard to change!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today the neighbor finally came back to fix his water pipes, thank goodness. After changing a section of the water pipe, I unscrewed the valve, and the other end of the old pipe began to spray water happily again, and I had to replace it all over again. Anyway, it was repaired before dinner, and I don't have to go through the water curtain hole tomorrow.
