Chapter 67: Liang Zhaoyi's eccentricity
Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou was going to be busy, Sun Kui was ready to withdraw. At this moment, Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his head from the fold and instructed Sun Kui: "She likes to read local chronicles, you can find a few more local chronicles to send to her." ”
Sun Kui was slightly startled, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
After Emperor Wu of Zhou finished explaining, he lowered his head and looked at the folds.
Sun Kui hesitated, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, some time ago, I paid tribute to some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, do you want to give a set to Liang Zhaoyi?" ”
Emperor Wu of Zhou said without raising his head: "Then give her a set." ”
Sun Kui thought to himself, sure enough. He hesitated again and asked, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I paid tribute to a lot of good fabrics, do you want to choose some for Liang Zhaoyi?" ”
"Fabric?" Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the cinnabar pen and wrote the words "I know" on the fold he had just finished, and immediately put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, not in a hurry to take down the fold, and asked, "What fabrics are there?" ”
"The fine fabrics such as brocade, silk, Luo, and silk that Jiangnan tributed." Sun Kui said.
"She likes plain colors, so I picked out a few plain fabrics for her and sent them over." Emperor Wu of Zhou said again, "Pick a few brightly colored fabrics and give them to Xiao Shi." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui asked again, "Your Majesty, do you still have any orders?" ”
Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a while and said, "It's gone." ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Sun Kui retreated from the imperial study. When he walked to the door, he frowned slightly, with a thoughtful expression.
His apprentice looked at him like this, stepped forward and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
Sun Kui came back to his senses, looked at his apprentice and asked, "Do you think Liang Zhaoyi is favored?" ”
"Liang Zhaoyi?" The apprentice was suddenly asked like this, and he didn't remember who Liang Zhaoyi was for a while. After a while, he remembered that there was such a lady as Liang Zhaoyi in the harem. "Unfavored, Master, why are you asking this?"
"The emperor just ordered me to ......" Sun Kui told the apprentice what Emperor Wu Zhou had just ordered, and after the apprentice listened, his mouth opened wide and he looked surprised.
"The emperor actually remembered that Liang Zhaoyi liked to read, and he still remembered what books Liang Zhaoyi liked to read." The apprentice had a stunned expression, "The emperor still remembers that Liang Zhaoyi likes plain fabrics, this ...... How can it be? "Apprentices often go into the harem to give things rewarded by Emperor Wu of Zhou. Every time the emperor rewards things, it is very arbitrary, and it is all for the master to choose. Only when rewarding Rong Guifei, the emperor will deliberately explain what to reward. The other mothers, including the queen mother, did not have the honor of letting the emperor personally choose things.
"I'll pick up something, and you'll send it to Kunde Hall early tomorrow morning."
"Master, Liang Zhaoyi, she ......" The apprentice raised his eyebrows, the meaning was obvious.
Sun Kui said: "You don't need to be deliberately pleased, what was it before, what it is now." ”
"I see, Master." The apprentice said, with a happy expression on his face, "Fortunately, I listened to Master's words before and didn't belittle Liang Zhaoyi. ”
He sighed, "I didn't expect Liang Zhaoyi to be so capable and let the emperor know her preferences." ”
"How can it be simple for someone who can make the emperor favor every month." Sun Kui had discovered this before. He remembered that when Liang Zhaoyi first entered the palace, the emperor invited her to sleep three or four times a month.
It's only three or four times a month, which seems like a few, but it's actually a lot. The ladies of the harem, the one who sleeps the most every month is Concubine Rong, and she sleeps seven or eight times a month at most. Other mothers, including the queen mother, sometimes twice a month, sometimes once a month, sometimes not even once.
At that time, in addition to Concubine Rong, Liang Zhaoyi was the one who slept the most. Just when everyone, including him, thought that Liang Zhaoyi would be the second Rong Guifei, the emperor suddenly did not invite Liang Zhaoyi to sleep. However, at the end of each month, the emperor would go to the Kunde Hall for the night. No matter how busy you are, you can't move.
The emperor is not addicted to women, and he does not go to the harem frequently. Sometimes when I get busy, I don't see a single mother, even Concubine Rong, but at the end of the month, the emperor will still go to Kunde Palace.
That is to say, sometimes for a month, the emperor only went to the Kunde Palace, and did not go to the palaces of other mothers. The emperor only spent one night in the Kunde Palace, and rarely stayed in the Kunde Hall for two or three consecutive nights.
At that time, he found that Liang Zhaoyi was not simple. He always felt that there was no agreement between the emperor and Liang Zhaoyi, and later he thought that the emperor was thinking about His Royal Highness Ten. However, the emperor did not favor His Royal Highness Tenth very much.
The emperor did not have a special favor for Liang Zhaoyi, and there was nothing special about the things given to Liang Zhaoyi, let alone Liang Zhaoyi's position.
Sun Kui always felt that the emperor's attitude towards Liang Zhaoyi was very strange, and he said that he favored Liang Zhaoyi, but he didn't. Let's say that I don't favor Liang Zhaoyi, but the emperor will go to Kunde Hall every month.
Before, when the emperor rewarded Liang Zhaoyi with things, he didn't specifically explain anything. Today, the emperor specially explained what to reward Liang Zhaoyi. Although he asked the emperor if he rewarded Liang Zhaoyi for the latter few things, the emperor remembered Liang Zhaoyi's preferences.
The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't pay attention to these things on weekdays. Even Concubine Rong's preferences, the emperor didn't know at first. Later, Concubine Rong often said what she liked in front of the emperor, and the emperor remembered it.
Even if Liang Zhaoyi often says what she likes on the emperor, with the prince's temperament, she may not be able to remember it.
Also, Liang Zhaoyi is also eccentric. Let's say that she competes for favor, she has never taken the initiative to please the emperor. Like other mothers, such as Concubine Rong and Queen Niangniang, they often make some snacks and soups and send them to Chengguang Hall in person. They also often made some clothes and shoes and socks for the emperor.
In order to please the emperor, Concubine Rong also deliberately learned to dance. Although the queen did not learn to dance for the emperor, she deliberately learned new tunes for the emperor.
Not to mention other mothers, they change the law every day to please the emperor. However, Liang Zhaoyi did not do anything for the emperor.
It's not right to say that, every time the emperor comes to Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi cooks it himself. Liang Zhaoyi also made clothes and shoes and socks for the emperor, but Liang Zhaoyi has never been publicized. It was when the emperor came to the Kunde Palace to spend the night that Liang Zhaoyi would give the emperor the clothes and shoes and socks she had made.
If he hadn't waited for the emperor to change clothes, he wouldn't have known that the emperor's underwear was made by Liang Zhaoyi.
Sun Kui suddenly remembered one thing, Liang Zhaoyi gave the emperor clothes, shoes and socks, and the emperor often wore them.
Concubine Rong and the queen made the clothes for the emperor, and the emperor wore them once or twice and then stopped wearing them. However, the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi are often worn by the emperor.
He asked the emperor before if the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi were good, and the emperor said that the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi were comfortable to wear. He has carefully compared, and the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi are not better than those made by the imperial decree. Moreover, the materials used in the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi are not as good as those of Concubine Rong and the queen.
In fact, Liang Zhaoyi's craftsmanship is not better than that of Concubine Rong and the queen. Concubine Rong grew up with the emperor since she was a child, and it is said that she often made clothes for the emperor before she was young. And before entering the palace, the queen mother learned from the best embroidery girl in the capital, and her craftsmanship was very good.
The clothes made by Concubine Rong and the queen are no worse than those made by Liang Zhaoyi, but the emperor prefers the clothes made by Liang Zhaoyi.
Sun Kui thought of a lot of things along the way that he hadn't paid attention to before. He suddenly found that Liang Zhaoyi had some status in Emperor Wu of Zhou's heart.
Speaking of Liang Zhaoyi, her appearance is not outstanding in the harem, her temperament is too quiet, she has no outstanding talents, and her mother's family is even less powerful. Compared with other ladies in the harem, Liang Zhaoyi is too ordinary. However, Liang Zhaoyi gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Concubine Rong and the queen mother were polite to him because he was the eunuch who served the emperor closely. However, he could feel that in the eyes of the queen mother, he was a eunuch. In the eyes of Concubine Rong, he is a slave. In their eyes, he was not human. But in Liang Zhaoyi's eyes, he is human.
Liang Zhaoyi has always treated these eunuchs and palace maids gently, and never treated them as inappropriate. He has always felt that Liang Zhaoyi is too gentle and kind, in this dangerous palace, her gentleness and kindness are superfluous, and they are deadly, which will make her unable to survive in the palace.
He had always thought that Liang Zhaoyi would soon fall out of favor, and then disappear in this palace in a short time. However, what he didn't expect was that Liang Zhaoyi didn't take long to conceive the dragon species, and then gave birth to the Ten Highnesses smoothly. Mother is more expensive than son, and Liang Zhaoyi has been promoted. Since then, Liang Zhaoyi has been doing well in the palace.
