Chapter 229: The Queen Mother
Fang Xiu asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Mingkong said: "This is a family banquet, what do you look like when you wear an official robe." ”
Hearing this, Fang Xiu was powerless to refute for a while.
This time.
Wu Mingkong looked at Lin Wan'er on the side and ordered, "Go and get that set of brocade robes." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lin Wan'er saluted, turned to leave, and after a while, she took a set of delicate and elegant brocade robes and presented them with both hands.
"Take your clothes off."
Wu Mingkong walked up to Fang Xiu and said with a solemn face.
Although it sounded a little strange, Fang Xiu still obediently took off the crimson official robe on his body, leaving only the pure white lining.
Wu Mingkong glanced him up and down, his good-looking peach blossom eyes were shining.
Stretched out his slender little hand, poked his lower abdomen, and chuckled: "I don't pay attention to it on weekdays, Fang Xiang's figure is quite good." ”
“......”
Fang Xiu was silent for a while, then suddenly took a step back, acted seriously, and said with a straight face: "The minister is a family person, please respect yourself, Your Majesty!" ”
[Mood +2000]
When Wu Mingkong heard the word "family", he inexplicably thought of Li Yingyue, and was a little unhappy.
However, seeing Fang Xiu's handsome and cold face, some chaotic pictures couldn't help but appear in his mind.
A string in my heart suddenly plucked again.
A smile appeared between her eyebrows, and the lotus step moved lightly, coming to Fang Xiu's face.
Standing on tiptoe, he then picked up Fang Xiu's chin with his slender fingers, and said lightly: "What about having a family, I like ...... same"
It's quite perverted.
Fang Xiu looked at the little empress in front of him, pretended to be afraid, stepped back again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't do this. ”
It was the first time Wu Mingkong had seen him show a panicked look, although it was just a disguise, he still felt extremely excited.
Suddenly, it seemed that his dream had come true.
Hold the high Fang Xiang under your feet and hold it in your hands!
She pressed forward step by step, the smile between her eyebrows became stronger, and she said in a slightly coquettish voice: "Don't struggle, stay with me tonight." ”
Side.
When Lin Wan'er saw this scene, her expression became a little strange, and her heart said that since she was with Fang Xiang, Her Majesty had become more and more improper.
"Ahem......"
The little maid clenched her fists, coughed twice, and then reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's not too early." ”
In another hour, it will be a dinner party to celebrate the birth of the Queen Mother.
If Fang Xiang and His Majesty are tired of being crooked together, they will have to toss for more than half an hour, if they miss the business, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Wu Mingkong heard the little maid's reminder, came back to his senses, a flush appeared on his pretty face, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said angrily: "It's all you, no day is serious." ”
Fang Xiu looked stunned, and wanted to say, didn't you tease the minister first.
After thinking about it, it's just that, more things are better than less things, whatever she says.
Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't refute, Wu Mingkong was inexplicably a little happy in his heart, and gave Lin Wan'er a look.
Lin Wan'er immediately understood and sent the brocade robe to the little empress.
After the little empress stretched out her hand to take it, she draped it on Fang Xiu's body in a similar way.
Wu Mingkong, who has been pampered by thousands of people since he was a child, can't wear clothes himself, how can he wear clothes on Fang Xiu's body.
I tried a few times, but I didn't succeed, so I simply threw off the brocade robe and snorted: "I have put on my clothes for you, won't I wear them myself?" ”
Fang Xiu looked at the little empress with a smile on his face, put on a brocade robe, kissed the empress lightly on the white forehead of jade, and said softly: "Your Majesty changed clothes for the ministers, and the ministers are grateful." ”
When Wu Mingkong heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly hid it, but he snorted coldly and said angrily: "Who changed your clothes for you, he made himself amorous." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the belt inlaid with white jade and wrapped it around Fang Xiu's waist.
A set of brocade robes is neatly dressed.
The little empress took two steps back, her good-looking peach blossom eyes looked Fang Xiu up and down, her fair face showed a satisfied smile, she nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, it fits well." ”
Fang Xiu noticed Wu Mingkong's eyes, suddenly realized something, and looked down at the brocade robe on his body.
The gorgeous brocade robe has a magnificent and colorful appearance, delicate and elegant patterns, and is inlaid with a golden waist line on both sides.
Obviously, the embroiderer put a lot of effort into it.
"Your Majesty, who embroidered the picture on this brocade robe?"
Fang Xiu looked at Wu Mingkong with a straight face, and asked in a stiff tone.
Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned and asked, "What?" Isn't it pretty? ”
Fang Xiu didn't answer, just repeated the question.
Seeing this, Wu Mingkong felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't answer and continued to ask rhetorical questions.
This time, Fang Xiu finally replied:
"Before this, the minister had never seen such a lifelike embroidery, this crane was worn on the minister's body, and the minister was always worried that it would break away from the brocade robe and fly back to the fairy world......"
"And this fine needle and thread, and the fitting waist...... If you let the minister know who made this brocade robe, the minister must give her a trip home and let her make clothes for the minister for a lifetime. ”
Hear such pompous appreciation.
Wu Mingkong immediately realized that Fang Xiu had already guessed that the picture on the brocade robe was embroidered by her own hands.
The heart was happy, and the fair face showed a touch of redness.
Don't turn your face away, and whispered: "Who wants to make clothes for you for a lifetime." ”
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, a warm current surged in his heart, and he stepped forward to take the little empress in his arms, and said softly: "How can the minister be so favored." ”
Wu Mingkong snuggled in his arms and chirped, "A year ago, you didn't say that. ”
"At that time, the minister didn't know how good His Majesty was."
Fang Xiu chuckled lightly and coaxed softly.
Wu Mingkong's delicate face was slightly red, and he didn't speak again, just quietly snuggled in his arms.
Fang Xiu hugged her waist, thinking that the Great Dry Empress, who once did not eat fireworks in the world, would one day embroider with her own hands, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly:
"Your Majesty has such a heart, the minister is already satisfied, such a delicate work, next time it is better to hand it over to the palace maid of the Shangyi Bureau to do."
Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said with some pride: "Female red is easy for me to learn, don't look at the lifelike embroidery of this crane, it only took me three months." ”
Side.
When Lin Wan'er heard this, her delicate little face turned red, and finally she couldn't hold back, and said: "Three months is just the time for embroidery, half a year ago, Your Majesty began to learn female red, although it only takes one or two pillars of incense every day to practice, but every day, rain or shine." ”
Half a year ago, it was probably the day when he and Li Yingyue got married.
Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, holding the little empress's right hand, it was vaguely visible that there were a few small pinholes on it, and he was even more distressed, and held her tightly in his arms.
Wu Mingkong felt the hot embrace, his pretty face was slightly red, and he whispered: "There are fewer and fewer pieces sent by Shangshu Province, and I have nothing to do, so I think about embroidery." ”
"There is no need to explain, Your Majesty's intentions to the ministers, the ministers understand."
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and saw that he was a little proud between his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that his wave seemed to be a little in vain, and snorted: "I embroider for you, you also have to do something for me." ”
Fang Xiu said: "The minister is ready to lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for His Majesty. ”
This was said with great confidence, as if for him, laying down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.
Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
She believed that Fang Xiu had this ability.
I also believe that Fang Xiu will do what he says.
What else in the world is more precious than thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
Can't seem to be found.
At this moment, Wu Mingkong suddenly felt that his intention to work for half a year was nothing compared to what Fang Xiu wanted to give her.
Because of this, I feel that my efforts are worth it.
Just a brocade robe embroidered with cranes can be exchanged for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and there is no more cost-effective deal in the world.
That's it.
Wu Mingkong's delicate face smiled, and he hugged Fang Xiu's waist with his backhand.
The two of them grinded for a while.
Lin Wan'er on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, it's not too early. ”
Wu Mingkong, who was disturbed, had a look of annoyance on his pretty face, and glared at the little maid.
It's still half an hour before it's time for dinner.
The little girl reminded that it was endless.
Seeing this, the little maid lowered her head busily, looked aggrieved, and said in her heart:
Reminder to be glared at by His Majesty.
If I don't remind you, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will miss the time.
It's so difficult to be a maid, and it's even harder to be His Majesty's personal maid, woo woo......
At this time, Fang Xiu asked with some curiosity: "Who did the Queen Mother invite to tonight's family banquet?" ”
Wu Mingkong replied: "There is the uncle of the country, the eldest princess, and several side county lords......"
Fang Xiu nodded, and said in his heart, it was indeed a family banquet, and only a few imperial relatives who were close to the Queen Mother were invited, and hundreds of civil and military officials were invited, but none were invited.
"By the way, can you get your gift?"
Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu and asked.
Fang Xiu said: "Naturally. ”
As he spoke, he took out the delicate wooden box from his bosom.
Wu Mingkong was still a little curious, what was in the wooden box.
But thinking that he didn't say it last time, he shouldn't tell himself this time.
So, he nodded and said, "You and I will go to Yongshou Palace to meet your mother first, send congratulatory gifts, and then attend the dinner together." ”
"Obey."
Fang Xiu stuffed the wooden box back into his arms and bowed dignifiedly.
Seeing this, Wu Mingkong gave him a roll of his eyes, didn't say anything, and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Fang Xiu followed.
The two talked and laughed all the way to a luxurious palace.
When the palace maid saw the empress and Fang Xiu, she hurriedly saluted:
"See Your Majesty."
"Meet Fang Xiang."
Wu Mingkong waved his hand, signaled for exemption, and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?" ”
The palace maid hurriedly replied: "Rest in the main hall." ”
Wu Mingkong nodded, walked in, came to the door of the main hall, stopped, raised his voice and said, "The son asks to see the Queen Mother." ”
After the emperor ascended the throne, in front of the queen mother or the emperor, he still called himself a son-in-law, which was the rule of the great cadres.
"Deceived Kangxi"
Fang Xiu did the same: "Minister Fang Xiu, ask to see the Queen Mother." ”
The voice fell.
A soft voice came from inside the room: "Accurate." ”
Wu Mingkong heard the voice and walked in.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu followed.
The main hall of Yongshou Palace, there is not much difference between the furnishings and the heart palace.
It's just a little more rustic.
Three or four palace maids stood upright, and when they saw Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong coming in, they saluted one after another.
"Queen Mother, my son-in-law has brought Fang Xiu to see you."
Wu Mingkong walked up, stretched out the slender Rou Yin, and grabbed the arm of the Queen Mother, revealing the delicate nature of a girl on his face.
Apparently.
Although the queen mother lived in a simple house, the little empress still maintained a good relationship with her and did not act too rusty.
Stopping at the door before was just etiquette.
"You're Fang Xiu?"
"It's really a talent, no wonder Mingkong likes you so much......"
A soft, clear voice sounded slowly.
Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The queen mother who was holding her arm by the little empress in front of her.
He has long black and bright hair, curved eyebrows, a beautiful nose, cherry-like red lips, warm peach blossom eyes and a face as clear as jade.
Maybe it's a long time of living in seclusion, plus paying attention to health on weekdays.
The Queen Mother's skin is like ice and snow, and compared with the little empress on the side, it is only slightly inferior.
Walking on the road, if no one told her that this was the queen mother, Fang Xiu would still think that it was the empress's sister.
"No wonder the little empress was born so captivating, it turned out that she inherited the excellent genes of the queen mother."
Fang Xiu thought so, bowed down, and replied: "The Queen Mother praises falsely, and the ministers are terrified. ”
"In the past six months, when Mingkong came to the palace, he often mentioned your name."
"You are not only the head of the hundred officials, but also the right-hand man of Mingkong."
"The first emperor died suddenly, if it weren't for you, she would not be able to suppress the hundred officials alone, and the court would inevitably be in turmoil for a while."
"After thinking about it, it would not be an exaggeration to say that you are Mingkong's relative, so I added your name to the banquet list."
The Queen Mother looked at Fang Xiu in front of her and said slowly in a gentle voice.
When Fang Xiu heard this, he said in his heart: The minister is not only His Majesty's right-hand man, but also His Majesty's father, it stands to reason that the two of us are the same generation.
Thinking so in his heart, his face showed a solemn look, and he replied: "It is the duty of a courtier to do his best for His Majesty, and the minister just did what he should have done." ”
When the little empress heard these high-sounding words, she pursed her lips and said in her heart: What should be done, you did it, what you shouldn't do, you didn't leave anything behind.
When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she said gently: "When the first emperor was alive, he mentioned you to this palace, saying that you are a piece of jade, and you will become a great talent in time, and now it seems that you have lived up to the expectations of the first emperor for you." ”
These words sound like a compliment to Fang Xiu, but in fact they also contain deep meaning.
Clearly and secretly reminded Fang Xiu to remember the grace of the first emperor back then.
For the queen mother, who lives in a simple place, if she wants to do something for the little empress, I am afraid that the only way to do it is for the other party to play a dozen emotional cards for the first emperor.
Fang Xiu naturally understood the meaning, saluted again, and said respectfully: "The first emperor knew the grace of the encounter, and the minister has always kept it in mind, and he dare not forget it." ”
Seeing this scene, the little empress thought about it, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "Fang Xiu, what about the congratulatory gift you prepared, bring it to the queen mother to see......
