XXXVI. Sunshine
The emperor stayed in the Lingering Pavilion all day.
Xie Ning didn't use breakfast, and the emperor didn't use it, so after the diagnosis, the emperor asked her what she wanted to eat. This is not the same as the usual question, and the eagerness made Xie Ning flattered, and he couldn't sit steadily.
Not only the emperor, but even the people who served around her also raised their hearts one by one.
Is the master pregnant? What a good thing!
But this opportunity also comes with risk. This child was born until the early summer of next year, and there is still more than half a year, and in this more than half a year, the skin of Yingxiang Pavilion has to be tightened up and down, so that he can serve Xie Meiren for a long time, and even if he sleeps, he has to open one eye to sleep.
Speaking of meals, now Xie Meiren is not eating alone, she still has a little ancestor in her stomach.
"Just go on as usual." After Xie Ning finished speaking, he asked again: "What does the emperor want to eat?" ”
"I'll just eat the same as you."
The sun had risen, and the morning mist had lifted. Xie Ning got up to make up, and the emperor leaned on the couch to look at her, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Qinghe has always known that her beauty is very favored, but after all, she has never seen it with her own eyes, and now she can be regarded as seeing it. This is the second time that the emperor has come back to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and he is with his master, and even his expression and speech are so casual. When she was combing her master's hair, the emperor was still making an idea on the side: "Comb a little higher here, yes, don't make it too tight." ”
Qinghe almost didn't know how she finished combing her hair under the guidance of the emperor, and the emperor only sat next to her, she felt stiff and didn't know how to move, not to mention that the emperor was still pointing nonsense.
Xie Ning looked funny, and finally said a fair word for his palace maid: "Your Majesty, you have a specialization in the art industry, Qinghe has combed the hair of her concubines for almost three years, and the height and tightness are all appropriate, so you can give her ideas, this is the more helpful it is." ”
Qinghe was startled, and even his legs stiffened.
This is the emperor! It's disrespectful for his master to speak so casually.
But the emperor actually smiled, and the smile was very pleasant: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, you have to blame me for not combing your hair well." ”
Breakfast was delivered, although the emperor said that it was okay to eat the same as Xie Ning, but the people below didn't dare to do it seriously.
The small square table was so full that I had to bring another table in and put it together before I could put down all the things that had been brought in.
When the dining room got the news, it was like two thunderbolts in a clear sky. The first one, the emperor is in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion. Second, Xie Meiren is pregnant. This breakfast is extraordinary, Huang Gonggong did not instruct his apprentices and grandchildren this time, rolled up his sleeves and personally operated the knife, and after thinking about it, he threw off his arms and got busy.
Dozens of people up and down in the dining room of the back garden were all busy, and Huang Gonggong pondered while working. I heard that Xie Meiren had abdominal pain last night, and said that it was inappropriate to eat something cold. Fortunately, I didn't eat it, otherwise the mung bean soup presented in the dining room would have to be eaten with it. Fortunately, Xie Meiren is fine, it is really blessed by the emperor.
In the future, this errand will have to be more cautious, Xie Meiren has a body, three meals a day plus snacks, supper, tea and soup, everything in the mouth has to be 120,000 points more careful. The emperor rushed over so early in the morning without breakfast, which shows how much he cares about Xie Meiren, and the dining room must not be careless in this matter.
Today's meal priorities have been reversed, and it goes without saying that the emperor must be the main one in the past, but today the emperor first asked: "What do you want to eat?" ”
Shainin looked at what was on the table. There are four kinds of porridge alone, and one of them is a salty porridge, which is chicken porridge.
She didn't want to eat the salty ones very much, and now she wanted to eat some sweet, warm soup.
"Just millet porridge, do you want to put sugar?"
The little eunuch who served the meal didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Xie Meiren, I have already let it go." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Millet porridge nourishes qi and nourishes the stomach, you can eat more." I want this porridge too. ”
Huang Gonggong also deliberately made other things that Xie Ning usually liked, and the emperor felt that everything was fresh, not the same cakes, cakes, etc., nor the kind of fried meat stew that made people lose their appetite when they looked at it early in the morning. Sometimes the emperor will also wonder, what is the law of the dining room? Who can eat such a thick meat dish early in the morning? But it seems that the dining room has always done this, and once in the morning even steamed lamb was brought in, which was really unappetizing at a glance.
Xie Ning took a pancake, rolled some shredded pickles in it, handed it over and asked, "Your Majesty, try this." ”
The pancake should be a batter with an egg stall, after a bite only to find that there are chopped cucumbers and ham grains in the cake, eat fresh and fragrant and not greasy, the pickles rolled in it are fried crispy with sesame oil and chili peppers, slightly spicy, take a bite of the cake and drink a mouthful of fragrant millet porridge, I feel that not only the stomach, the whole person is warm.
In addition to this pancake, there are also small steamed buns, the size of one bite, fried to golden brown, the skin is crispy, and the filling inside is not the same, Xie Ning ate one, and the emperor also ate one: "It's jujube paste." ”
"The concubine eats this stuffed with taro paste."
After trying again, the two of them ate different fillings such as bean paste, osmanthus candy, roses and hawthorn. A plate of fried small steamed buns was eaten, and Xie Ning realized that he seemed to have eaten too much.
Seeing that her movements were a little stiff, the emperor guessed that she had eaten too much as soon as he thought about the situation just now.
"Let's go for a walk in the yard, it's a good day."
It was indeed a good day, the autumn weather was crisp, the sun was in the sky, the sky was blue as if it had been washed with water, and there was not even a single cloud.
As soon as you walk out the door, you can feel the sunlight outside like a warm cloak, wrapping people tightly from head to toe.
Basking in the sun is indeed very comfortable, like taking a warm bath, completely washing away the chill of yesterday's wine and the dampness that was covered in the house. The lotus flower in the water tank has been pinched off, and the lotus leaves are still verdant. There were thin weeds growing among the tiles on the courtyard wall, and the blades of grass had turned yellow, and they produced ears of thin grass seeds, which were fluffy and looked like the tails of cats and dogs, and the hairs on the ears were also golden in the sun, as if they would glow.
The emperor saw her staring at the wall, and followed her gaze: "The people in the construction department are also lazy, and the grass on the wall has grown and they haven't come to clean it up." ”
Xie Ning hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeve: "The concubine is just looking at the grass ears, which looks tight." Outside the palace, this is called dog tail grass, does the emperor look like an elephant? ”
When the emperor heard this, he also looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It is indeed very similar." ”
When the wind blows, the blades of grass sway, like a dog wagging its tail.
"When the grass seeds are ripe, they are blown away by the wind and scattered elsewhere. In the event of another spring rain, it will take root again. Therefore, although the weeds are weak, they can continue to grow. ”
The emperor looked at her gently, Xie Ning's whole person was bathed in the sun, and the fine golden sunlight was reflected in the bottom of his eyes, which was amazingly bright.
