Chapter 36: Last night, the concubine was on her feet
She has a tranquil temperament, quiet and elegant, and does not compete for favor or power.
Usually only in their own Bixiao Palace to read and write, compose poems and paint, except for some activities will occasionally attend, basically do not go out of the door, the second door does not step.
Emperor Li Wanjiang likes her very much, and jokingly calls her the first talented woman in the harem.
Originally, Li Wanjiang wanted her to come out to deal with Yan Pingqiu at the Dengyuan meeting, but she politely declined, saying that she was a harem woman and a neighboring prince to write poems in public, and it would inevitably be laughed at by the world.
Li Wanjiang couldn't force her.
For this imperial concubine, he is quite respectful.
In fact, there are only two people in the harem who really make Li Wanjiang like and respect, one is the queen, and the other is the imperial concubine.
Xiao Chen also respects this concubine very much, and feels that she is like a standing out from the crowd among the three thousand in the harem.
Although she has always kept a low profile, you will always see her at the first glance among thousands of people.
If Queen Murong Danqiu is a rich and auspicious, brilliant peony in the world, and Liu Ruyun is an unrestrained and enthusiastic, beautiful, but spiky rose, then the imperial concubine is a white and flawless white lotus.
Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons
No vines and no branches, fragrant and clear, pavilions and clean plants, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
As soon as he went out after changing his clothes, he bumped into Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian head-on, and they were quite surprised to see Xiao Chen's rare appearance so neatly dressed.
"What's the matter? Brother Xiao, do you have a date? Wei Yuntian looked Xiao Chen up and down, from the perspective of a pure man, my eldest brother Xiao is also a handsome guy.
It's a pity that he's a eunuch.
"Uh-huh." Xiao Chen didn't deny it either.
"Who are you dating?" Zhuge Xiaosheng asked.
"Imperial concubine, she invited me to enjoy the moon and drink, and I won't accompany the two of you, you brothers are drinking here and waiting for me to come back."
These two didn't need to ask for him to drink.
"Brother Xiao, you only have Yanfu, but you don't have any mouth, oh, this is the preserved pheasant and preserved ham that Zhang Baijuan sent yesterday, all of which are gone." Wei Yuntian raised the ham pheasant in his hand to show him.
"You stinky boy, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Chen subconsciously glanced left and right, but fortunately, there was no one.
snatched the pheasant and ham in his hand, "It's not good to go over empty-handed, just take this as a gift." ”
"Hey, don't mind, you can leave one for me!" Wei Yuntian grinned.
"Brother Xiao, tonight is going to be cloudy, and there will be strong winds, I'm afraid that you and the imperial concubine will not be able to enjoy the moon." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Nonsense, how can there be wind in this blue moon?" Xiao Chen looked up and saw a bright moon.
"Yes, it's cloudy and windy, and I'm afraid that the dead wind lamps in the palace will be blown out, and it's not easy to walk back at night...... Otherwise, we'll go with you. "Zhuge Xiaosheng
"The moon is dark and the night kills, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire." Wei Yuntian, a crow's mouth, doesn't say good things!
"You two boys just want me to stay and have a drink with you? The imperial concubine invited me, can I not go? They didn't invite you, what a are you? Just stay and wait for me, and I'll be back soon. Xiao Chen didn't care.
Leaving the two of them, they went straight to Bixiao Palace.
handed the bacon ham in his hand to the eunuch at the door, "Someone else sent it, the taste is okay, a few brothers try it, I'll let someone send it when I'm done after eating." ”
Several little eunuchs smiled happily and thanked them again and again.
He took out a few silver ingots and threw them to a few people, "Take them to buy wine and drink." ”
"Oh, how do you say that? I will be rewarded by your father-in-law Xiao for no reason! ”
"It is said that Xiao Xiao's father-in-law, you are interesting enough, generous enough, and you are good for your brothers, and you really live up to your reputation!"
"In the future, Father-in-law Xiao, if you have anything to use everyone, please speak!"
"Please come in, the concubine is waiting to see you."
Entering the palace, it was the little palace maid who flew to greet her, Xiao Chen remembered that she seemed to be called Chaoyun?
"Sister Chaoyun, this is a hairpin they gave me, you said that I can't use a eunuch, so I'll give it to you." Xiao Chen took out a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies and handed it to Chaoyun, who was carrying a lot of gold and silver jewelry at any time.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao, then I'm welcome, but if Huan'er knows, I'm afraid I'll be angry." Chaoyun covered his mouth and smiled.
She is very good with Huan'er, she is the kind of best friend, and there is no secret between the best friends.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Chen said sharply, "I have a pure relationship with Huan'er!" ”
The imperial concubine really invited Xiao Chen to drink and admire the moon.
There are a few red charcoal basins in a warm pavilion, the south window is open, facing a bright moon, there is a delicate small table under the bed, and there is a small wine jar that is boiling open on the charcoal basin next to the small table.
Good fragrant wine.
"You may be seated, great man." When the imperial concubine saw Xiao Chen, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, like a flower.
"Meet the concubine!" Xiao Chen didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he knelt down.
"Tonight is the first to nod to the ground." The imperial concubine suddenly smiled and said, "You have only learned eight buckets, and you have come out of the next link." ”
It turned out that she was in the right place.
"Uh...... There is a link, but I don't dare to say it, unless you forgive the slave for being innocent. Xiao Chen got up and smiled.
"Oh? If there is anything you dare not say, forgive your innocence, and come and listen. The imperial concubine's wonderful eyes were full of curiosity.
"Last night, the concubine was on her feet in the sky!" You forgive me for my innocence.
"You thief minion!" The imperial concubine laughed directly.
"The slave also thought of it for a while, don't blame the mother." Xiao Chen pretended to be honestly afraid.
"If you say you don't blame, sit down." The imperial concubine rarely laughs, but she didn't expect to laugh so happily when she saw Xiao Chen, tears came out of her eyes, and her stomach hurt from laughter.
Fang Xin was secretly refreshed, padded it with a piece of cotton cloth, picked up the wine jar and poured it into a delicate wine jug, and poured Xiao Chen a glass himself.
"How dare you do it, I'll ...... it" Xiao Chen hurriedly stood up.
"There are no concubines and eunuchs today, I am the host, you are a guest, we are commensurate with you and me, just like ordinary friends to chat, okay?" The imperial concubine said softly.
"Huh!" Xiao Chen knew that she was acting differently and unusually, so he immediately agreed.
"I heard that you hit Gong Shouli's person today? Hehe, I didn't see that you are usually polite and always smiling, and you will get angry, do you know what everyone calls you now? Call you the Smiling Tiger. The imperial concubine smiled.
"People bullied me, I was forced to resist, how dare I say what kind of tiger it is? If it was a real tiger, no one would dare to bully me, so I'm just a little kowtow worm. ”
