Chapter 4: Parade
After the emperor woke up, the harem's security system also revived again, and I originally wanted to be lazy and dream a few more times, but unfortunately I didn't have time.
Please say goodbye, Jinyue woke me up from my sleep early, I was still immersed in a dream, a little confused, and let them dress up.
After a long time, when I opened my eyes again, I was a new me in the mirror.
As the character of His Majesty, the original owner's appearance is not bad, sometimes gentle, sometimes charming.
But now I was not in the mood to appreciate my beauty, so I hurried to the Rongzi Palace.
The concubines in each palace have already taken their seats, and I am too late.
I think it's a problem with the setting, after all, I came early.
Fortunately, Concubine Rong didn't care, but smiled and asked me to sit down.
She is generous and humble, and she is very good to all the concubines in the harem, and every time she arrives for the New Year's Festival, she will appreciate some precious jewelry.
Women, I love these beautiful and delicate jewelry.
After saying goodbye, everyone opened the topic as if it were a common conversation, and I sat in the middle, a little embarrassed because I couldn't interject.
There is no such plot in the original text, I should have been confined to my own palace, but the emperor didn't seem to think of punishing me, and I was also free.
Concubine Rong seemed to see me distracted, and softly brought me into the topic.
"The hairpin on Mei Ji's head, but white jade?"
I was pulled back to my thoughts by her words, looked at everyone's strange eyes, and replied, "Hui Niangniang, it is the white jade begonia hairpin." ”
Afraid that she would think that I was using money to buy things indiscriminately, she added, "The concubine brought it from the family." ”
Concubine Rong smiled, "The hairpin lining people, lining my sister is as white as this jade." ”
I always thought that was weird.
The things that the original owner did were really bad, how could he be as quiet as I was.
Maybe the other concubines saw that I was not so prickly, and they were a little more kind to me, and there were gradually more people to talk to.
And my favorites are Concubine Qing and Concubine Rong.
Concubine Qing likes to make pastries, and the osmanthus cake I like in front of me is made by her.
The cat in Concubine Rong's hand is so cute, the hair is soft and white, but unfortunately she doesn't allow me to hold it.
Alas, in the novel, the original owner wanted to hug her cat at first, but she dropped the cat in front of her, and covered her mouth in surprise afterwards, "Ah, I accidentally didn't hold it steady, my sister won't blame me, right?" ”
He was apologizing in his mouth, but his expression was the smugness of the winner.
But Concubine Rong couldn't be angry yet, because the emperor also stood aside and looked at her with disgust, "Isn't it just an animal, why bother with Mei Ji." ”
Concubine Rong endured it, she could only endure the anger in her heart in front of the emperor, and she had to laugh, "How can it be, if you leave or right an animal, my sister doesn't have to worry, I'll take it to take a look." ”
The emperor was also impatient with her, and waved his hand to tell her to go quickly.
She crouched down and carefully picked up the injured cat and went to the imperial doctor.
I thought, maybe because of that, she wouldn't let me hold her cat.
Licking my lips, I don't give up, anyway, the days are still long, there is always time.
When I left from Rong Zidian, I secretly took two pastries and stuffed them into my sleeve and held them carefully.
Jinyue couldn't say anything in the back, I didn't care what she thought.
When I walked out of the palace, I didn't know where I went, but I only smelled the fragrance of flowers, and I felt strange.
It's the middle of winter, and the Imperial Garden is still blooming?
Suspicious, I strode out, and there was a great pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and before I could get closer, I saw a figure sitting inside.
It's very familiar, and it should be the emperor by looking at the figure.
The Emperor sat there, dressed in black as the only ink in the snow, and he sat motionless, and I was about to wonder if he was an ice sculpture, but he still didn't move.
Well, the emperor was really frozen into an ice sculpture.
Jin Yue pushed me up behind me, and I pretended not to understand and looked left and right, but I didn't look at the emperor's location, pretending to be stupid, "Where are you going?" ”
I heard Jinyue's voice hating iron but not steel, "Niangniang, this is a good opportunity for you to compete for favor." ”
I rolled my eyes, I don't want this chance to compete for favor.
After eating the osmanthus cake hidden in my sleeve, I saw Jinyue's expression even more indescribable, and then I interrupted her before she was about to speak, "My stomach hurts so much, I want to go back." ”
After saying that, I didn't care how much she wanted me to compete for favor, so I found a way and ran away.
Jinyue chased after me, the distance was too far for me to hear it really.
It wasn't until I ran out of the Imperial Garden that I slowed down, and then I heard Jinyue's eager panting.
She said: "Niangniang, the direction of returning to the palace is reversed. ”
Me: Oh, I did it on purpose.
——
In the original text, the emperor will go west to Nanyang City after the New Year.
And I, who should have been grounded, became one of the concubines who accompanied me.
On the day of leaving the palace, none of the concubines who were left in the palace were jealous, and they all said goodbye with tears, which looked more like bidding farewell to the emperor and never returning.
I was depressed, and when I saw that they were obviously happy, but showed a reluctant expression, I longed to find someone to replace me.
But I didn't dare to go to the emperor, his expression seemed to be even colder.
I was afraid I would catch a cold when I was a few steps closer to him.
Forget it, I'd better hide in my room.
Since ancient times, emperors have been riding on boats, and tyrants are much more luxurious than the previous emperors, and the body of the imperial ship is made of gold.
Before I got on the boat, I wanted to pick a piece and hide it, it was gold.
It's a pity that Jinyue looked at me closely, and she understood what I meant before I could reach out my hand, and whispered to me, Niangniang, this is a royal gift.
The implication is that you can't touch it at will.
I waved my hand, okay, okay, since you can't touch it at will, then I'll touch it again in the evening.
I thought that if I came to pick gold at night, I would not be discovered.
After getting on the boat, I realized that the word "imperial arrogance" written in the book was not an exaggeration at all, and the ground was covered with countless jewels, and there was a faint light.
I'm guessing it's the Pearl of the Night.
The night pearl of the East China Sea is a precious thing, but the tyrant uses it to pave the ground, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
I secretly swore in my heart that I would not pick gold at night, but would steal the pearl of the night.
It's a pity that I didn't have a chance, as soon as I got on the boat, I was called into her room by Concubine Rong, and at the same time I saw a lot of familiar faces, but I couldn't call out their titles.
Concubine Rong is very relaxed, she remembers every concubine in the harem, and even knows their small characters.
She called me in just for fear that I would be bored alone.
I didn't postpone it either, and sat next to Sister Qingfei. She's such a nice person, she gave me pastries as soon as I sat down.
It's my favorite osmanthus cake, and chestnut candy.
I leaned over and whispered to her on the ear, "Does Sister Qingfei know how to make sugar-fried chestnuts?" ”
Concubine Qing was slightly stunned and shook her head.
I told her that it was to peel the shells of the chestnuts, add water to the pot to boil the sugar, and calculate the time to pour the chestnuts down and stir-fry, and it would not take long for the hot chestnuts to come out of the pot.
Concubine Qing smiled and said yes.
The women in the harem are all beautiful, Concubine Qing is the same as my sister in my dreams, she is so beautiful and gentle, and her appearance is clear and pretty.
Unfortunately, my second sister doesn't know how to cook.
I whispered to Concubine Qing, and when Concubine Rong saw it, she smiled and asked us what we were talking about, why don't we share it with the other sisters.
I was afraid that she would laugh at us for talking about small words, so I quickly explained, "Sister Qingfei and I are talking about the practice of chestnuts." ”
Many people in the harem have also eaten the pastries made by Concubine Qing, but they have never heard of this new method I said, so they can't help but be curious, "Oh? What's new about this? ”
I told Concubine Qing what I had just said, and sure enough, I saw a few concubines who were foodies like me, and their eyes were shining.
Alas, it could have been exclusive.
I'm also a little sad to think.
Sister Qingfei seemed to know what I was thinking, and comforted me in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll leave a separate copy for you." ”
I felt happy again, and when I looked up, I realized that Concubine Rong had been looking at me, and when we looked at her, her gaze was gentle and gentle.
She's such a proper harem director.
At night, I drank the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial doctor, which was very bitter, but I endured the discomfort and drank it all, and I wanted to sleep a little longer, so that I could dream for a while longer, so I asked Jinyue to bring me another bowl.
Jinyue's eyes were full of disapproval, but she didn't disobey me.
In order to prevent someone from coming to me tomorrow, I pretended to be weak in front of Concubine Rong before leaving, she was easy to talk to, I said that I was uncomfortable, she just asked me to have a good rest, and I didn't have to go over tomorrow to say goodbye.
I was happy, and when I turned my head to look at the dark medicinal soup, I felt sick to my stomach again.
The ancient medicine is more bitter than the modern Chinese medicine, and the original taste is much more bitter than Coptis chinensis, so I hurriedly asked Jinyue for candied fruit, and I felt comfortable after eating one.
It didn't take long for the effects to kick in.
After falling asleep, I heard a familiar voice, and when I turned around and saw the comer, I called out tamely, "Big brother." ”
The eldest brother came over and touched my head, "The little sister has grown taller." ”
The eldest brother's complexion is a little dark, and the perennial banditry makes him look a little rough.
I smiled and replied, "If my brother could not touch my head, I would definitely be taller than my brother." ”
He obviously didn't expect me to say this, so he patted me on the head and laughed, "Hahaha, little sister is really interesting." ”
I rubbed his messy hairstyle, didn't care, and walked with him to the front hall, "How long will my brother stay when he comes back this time?" ”
The eldest brother is often out to crack down on bandits, and there is no professional army to sit in, so he will always be injured when he comes back.
Although he handled it well every time, my sense of smell was also good, and I could smell a little bit of blood on him.
The eldest brother thought for a while and said, "I should leave after the year." ”
Then he rubbed my hairstyle and laughed a few times, "What, is my little sister reluctant to let my eldest brother go?" ”
I turned my head and glanced at him leisurely, "Big brother said this, it seems that who in the family will be willing to let you go." ”
The tone was a little melancholy, and the feeling coming from the body was stuffy.
He seemed to be stopped by my question, and stopped.
I was a little puzzled, and when I looked back at him, I saw that his tanned face had a tough look, as if he was making a promise, "Little sister, we are not living in a peaceful year, the mountain bandits are rampant, the emperor is tyrannical, for the safety of Shanzhou, my brother can only give up his family and the people first." ”
I heard him say, "If I had read more books before, I wouldn't have had this brute strength alone, and maybe I would have been able to write articles to save the country and awaken the ignorance of the people!" ”
His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his expression was unwavering.
I was a little surprised, and wanted to say that I didn't mean that, but the second sister walked over from the other side of the courtyard, with a warm smile on her gentle face, and as soon as I shouted, I noticed the people around her.
It was the one who saved the second sister that day.
It's only been a day in the dream, and the two are so close?
"Second sister, who is this?"
The eldest brother just went home, so naturally he didn't know what happened yesterday.
The second sister took it in a few words, and only said that he was a chivalrous man.
I saw that my eldest brother's eyes lit up, and without thinking about it, he said, "Let's go, compare with me." ”
The second sister was frightened and hurriedly stopped, "What does this mean by big brother, he is my savior." ”
"A lifesaver?" The eldest brother's expression was a little puzzled, "Didn't you just say that he was just a passing knight?" ”
The second sister's face was slightly red, the first time the sister who could speak well didn't know how to speak, I looked funny on the side, took her eyes for help, I played a round and said, "The eldest brother finally came back, not to accompany us first, but to fight with the guests first, how does this make others think of us?" ”
Before the eldest brother could react, he asked, "Who is the other?" ”
Me: "......"
I was silent, and I didn't know when Chu Shiyu came and said, "I'm someone else." ”
He spoke expressionlessly, and the cold face made me not want to get near him.
This person's black face is quite frightening, as terrifying as the emperor outside his dreams.
Fortunately, as soon as the eldest brother saw him, his eyes became brighter, and he dragged him to compete.
Chu Shiyu didn't refuse, turned around and looked at me with deep meaning, and then followed the eldest brother.
At this time, the second sister also breathed a sigh of relief, I watched her conversation with the person, and asked in the air, "Sister, what is the name of your benefactor?" ”
The second sister seemed to want to speak for him, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt inappropriate, and her side eyes were silent.
I heard the man's voice, similar to one I had heard in the audition room, thinking of the ancient spring of the ancient town, clean and clear, free of impurities.
He said: "My name is Lu Qing, and my name is Chuan. ”
It doesn't matter if I listen to what he says later, what matters is what he wants to say to the people he wants to hear.
When I saw the second sister, I had an expectant look on my face.
I didn't want to be a light bulb anymore, so I found a reason to go to Chu Shiyu and them, and also left them time alone.
Before leaving, I heard the second sister's very soft voice, "Aqing." ”
Alas, blame me for being too well heard.
The eldest brother and he fought in the open space behind the courtyard, and the two of them only reached the climax when I came, and every punch in the hand-to-hand combat hit the two of them, I knew that they were just fighting, but the posture made my heart tremble, and I didn't dare to speak rashly, in case I accidentally disturbed them.
After a while, I saw that he had taken several steps back, and when the eldest brother was about to meet him, he blocked it with his hand, "Don't fight." ”
The eldest brother's expression was full of doubts, "Why, the result of the fight is about to come out." ”
Chu Shiyu's eyes glanced at me, and I shrank back subconsciously, not wanting to be the target of the two of them.
He opened his mouth, and I couldn't hear what he was saying, except that the next second he was running towards me, and the dragonfly clicked a few times before he reached me.
"Aren't you going to talk to each other?" I asked, confused.
He stretched out his arms and folded them behind his head, and his tone was rather helpless, "No need." ”
"Why?"
"Because ......" he smiled silently, I couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, and he quickly retracted his expression and returned to his appearance, "I can't beat your eldest brother." ”
He said it casually, and when you hear it, it's not true.
But I never helped to boost his self-confidence, and couldn't help but nod, "That's right, yes, you can't beat my eldest brother." ”
The person behind him looked at the figure of the two people gradually moving away, and looked at his hands questioningly, thinking, did he only use half of his strength just now?
After he couldn't see the two of them, he hurriedly chased after them.
