Chapter 62

After dinner, the sky is not dark, I am bored walking around the yard, there is a little eunuch in charge of the lamp has begun to hold the lamp everywhere, the autumn wind is gradually rising, there is a little coolness, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon in the sky is still round, shining brightly, there is a sweet fragrance of osmanthus in the air, I said: "Yuying, do we have a recliner in the palace?" Yu Ying said: "Back to Niangniang, there is", I said: "You let people move the recliner out for me", Yu Ying said: "Yes", I said: "Make another pot of tea", Yu Ying said: "Yes", said and retreated.

After a while, two little palace maids carried a chaise longue, and the other two carried a small table, and when they put their things away, I said, "It's nothing, you all go down!" When they heard this, they said, "Yes, Niangniang", they all retreated, I sat on the chair and lay down, Yuying came over with a tea tray, she put the tea tray on the table, and I said, "You are also busy!" Don't worry about me, I'll pour the tea myself", Yuying said: "Yes, Niangniang, the slave went to get a blanket for Niangniang, it's a little cold this day", I said: "Well, go!" ”

I lay on the chair with my eyes closed, quietly enjoying the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, in a blink of an eye I have come to this era for almost a year, I have fantasized countless times before, when can I put down my busy work, a small courtyard, a big tree, a recliner, a pot of tea, a book, but what I didn't expect is that this wish is realized here, the only difference is that I lost my freedom, someone gently covered me with a blanket, it should be Yuying! She just said to get the blanket, I don't know how long it took me to feel like I was being gently picked up, I opened my eyes but met the emperor's gentle gaze, he saw that I woke up and chuckled: "It's cold outside, go into the house and sleep!" But the footsteps did not stop carrying me into the dormitory, I was busy saying: "Your Majesty, let me down, I will go by myself", he ignored my request, hugged me while walking and said: "Why are you so light, it seems that you will have to eat more in the future, and it is good to raise white and fat", I rolled my eyes helplessly, white and chubby? It's like a pet, so I don't want it.

When I came to the dormitory, he put me on the bed, and I asked, "When did the emperor come?" He said: "It's been a long time, your pot of good "Taiping Monkey Kui" is almost drunk by me, seeing that you are not awake, I have to carry you in and sleep", at this time from the outside came the sound of the bell chime, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, he said: "Let's rest early!" I'm going to leave the palace early tomorrow morning", I said, "Out of the palace?" Am I going to leave the palace too? He said, "What?" You don't want to get out of the palace", I hurriedly said: "No, no, of course I want to get out of the palace", and he said: "You don't want to be in the palace so much?" I looked at his serious expression and said discouragedly: "I didn't mean ...... that", he smiled and stepped forward to touch my head and smiled: "Okay, I'll tease you, I've already asked people to pack your things, and I will return to the palace in about half a month", I took off my shoes and hid in the bed and said, "Where are we going out of the palace?" He said with a deep expression: "Go to the mausoleum of my emperor Ama", I said: "Well, I know", said and climbed out and put on shoes to call someone to wash, I first asked someone to serve him to wash, and after I washed and broke his hair, he was already lying on the bed and falling asleep.

I turned off the light and left only one, gently crawled over his body, I took a thin quilt and covered him, he frowned tightly in his sleep and didn't know what he was worried about, remembering our time and space, like him was just in high school at this age, he was an ignorant teenager, but he had already taken on the responsibility of a country, and the power of the ministers was in charge, the country was unstable, internal and external troubles, he must be the emperor is not good! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh lightly, lay down and covered the quilt and fell asleep.

The next morning, (said early in the morning, it was actually later than his usual court) I felt someone's eyes on me, I opened my eyes and saw him holding his head on his hand and looking at me sideways, I sat up busily, stretched and said, "When did you wake up?" Why don't you wake me up? He smiled and said, "It's been a while, I can't bear to call you when you sleep so soundly", I hurriedly got up and said, "What time is it?" Am I waking up late? He then got up and said: "Not busy, the fifth watch has just passed", I got out of bed to call someone to freshen up, Yuying and Xiaolan brought people to hold two basins of water and towels and other toiletries to come in and salute, the palace maid stepped forward and knelt down with the basin for us to wash, I said: "Didn't you say that you should put the water on the shelf?" Go put it on the shelf! You don't have to kneel", but they didn't get up, and the emperor said: "Didn't you hear what Niangniang said?" Then they got up and said, "Yes", I washed my face and brushed my teeth and asked, "What clothes is the emperor wearing today, and has he sent it over?" Yu Ying said: "Grandpa Li has already brought someone to wait outside", I said: "Let them come in!" "Gonggong Li is the big eunuch next to the emperor, named Li Dequan, about thirty years old, he is very calm, he came in with someone holding the emperor's dress, and Yuying also prepared the clothes I want to wear.

When we are all dressed neatly, the bell has been chiming to six o'clock, the outside of the hall shoulder and has been ready, the emperor said: "We go to the emperor's grandmother first and then set off together", the day has already dawned, I sit on the shoulder, there is a cool breeze to caress the face, very comfortable, not long after arriving at the Empress Dowager's "Cining Palace", down the shoulder and I and the emperor walked into the "Cining Palace", waiting outside the hall for a lot of palace maids, eunuchs, seeing the emperor came to kneel and salute, he said: "Get up!" Then entered the main hall, the hall was full of people, the head sat the queen mother and a young lady in her thirties with breakfast, the queen and Concubine Tong stood aside to serve, several nobles were waiting aside, under the gaze of everyone, I followed the emperor to the front, the emperor stepped forward a few steps and saluted: "Grandson to the imperial grandmother to say goodbye", and then said: "The son of the minister to the emperor and the mother to ask for peace", the queen mother said: "Excuse yourself from the courtesy!" When the emperor got up, the empress dowager said, "Emperor, come and sit down and use some things!" After the emperor sat down, everyone saluted the emperor one after another.

It turned out that this is the queen mother, I have seen the story of Emperor Shunzhi's infatuation with Concubine Dong E, presumably she was not happy with the unpopular queen at that time, and then she was widowed early, and there was no one with a son and a half daughter around her, I felt sad when I thought about it, everyone got up after saluting, I was busy kneeling down and saluting: "Youning to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Wanfu Jin'an", the Empress Dowager said: "Hurry up!" ”
