Chapter Seventy-Five: The Imperial Garden
Fortunately, the emperor turned over her brand, and he didn't have to do the right thing every night.
often just hugged her in his arms, blew the lamp and went to bed.
This made Yun Jiao very puzzled.
Didn't you want to turn the clouds and rain and summon her to Weiyang Palace for what? In romance, it usually means that the emperor is in love with her soul and wants to have some pure love with her, but the emperor doesn't talk to her much except to sleep with her, and the warm candlelight illuminates half of his handsome face, and the other half is hidden in the dark.
This night, she finally couldn't help it, and called him in a small voice: "Your Majesty." ”
"I'm here."
"Why don't you talk to your concubine."
"I have never said much to my concubines," Xie Zhixing paused: "But if you have something to say, you don't have to endure it, let alone avoid me." ”
If you want to speak, you can pass on the minister's company.
In addition to the most favored concubine, the queen who talks to the emperor the most is the queen who annoys him, and palace affairs and major sacrificial events can't bypass the middle palace.
He said this to give her a chance to sue.
Although he didn't like to listen to his concubines, if she said something, he would still listen to it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yun Jiao rolled over in his arms.
Xie Zhixing waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the following.
In this kind of respect for the wishes of others, Yun Jiao is very persuading! The emperor said that he didn't say much to his concubines, so she didn't say much, and prepared to fall asleep. Halfway through the drowsiness, a displeased male voice sounded above: "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
“……”
Emperor, do you really know what you're talking about?
With the lights blown out, Yun Jiao rolled his eyes in his arms.
The emperor didn't let her go: "You just asked me why I didn't talk to you, I guess I have something to say to me." ”
Yun Jiao now said that she was talking about playing, I wonder if the heads of the Nine Clans will fall to the ground?
She thought about the lives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and explained sincerely: "How dare the concubines disturb the emperor with some unimportant chores? It's just a bit strange to think that the emperor has turned over the sign of concubines in the past few days, and just went to bed and didn't say anything. ”
"Something that doesn't matter? Let's talk about it. ”
This is like the opening sentence of the concubine's complaint for eye medicine.
In the dark, Xie Zhixing found the small piece of skin where her chin and neck were connected, and Rua also rubbed her chin twice, which made her heart alarm - it is said that some cats' cheeks are rubbed bigger, and she will not be rubbed out of her double chin!
Yun Jiao: "The emperor really wants to listen?" It's just the concubine's recent thinking. ”
Xie Zhixing hummed.
Yun Jiao: "Everything in the world changes, but the dumpling skin is always bigger than the dumpling filling." ”
Xie Zhixing sighed and covered her eyes:
"You'd better think less."
……
The next day, the Imperial Garden.
The half-height round platform was set up in the imperial garden early, and it was originally regretted that his position was not a noble, and there was no opportunity to perform, and Chang Zai promised to rest his mind after seeing the layout of the scene - those who wanted to perform were talented, but they were all daughters of official families, and at this time, there was no saying that they would perform talents for relatives during the New Year's holidays, and no one had experience in public performances......
When you go up, your legs will shake into a sieve, and what kind of art will you give?
Of course, the concubines above the noble level have no experience in performing arts, but over the years, they have been accustomed to being masters and attending various important banquets, and their courage and knowledge have increased a lot compared to before in the boudoir.
"The queen mother has arrived, and the queen has arrived."
The concubines sat down, and the queen and Jiang concubines accompanied the queen mother to attend.
As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she couldn't wait to ask, "What about the emperor?" ”
Soon, a little eunuch rushed to her side and whispered back: "Queen Mother, the emperor is still in Qiankun Palace to meet Master Fu, I will arrive later, let the Queen Mother enjoy the art first, don't have to wait for him." ”
The concubines are rushing to show their faces in front of the emperor, but today's event is still to show the queen mother, and it can't be said that if the emperor doesn't come, he won't perform.
But they definitely want to wait until the emperor comes to appear.
Concubine Jiang originally wanted to come out on top, but when she saw this, she glanced at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled lightly, so she ordered Concubine Feng and asked her to perform first.
Coming to the Imperial Garden today, in addition to wanting to see what the noble Xi nobles in the limelight are capable of, and at the same time raising Concubine Jiang, the Queen Mother also wants to let those nobles who usually have no chance to show their faces brush their sense of existence in front of the emperor, and it is good for a hundred flowers to bloom, and the harem will be stable.
Feng Concubine was unwilling to go up and play a tune, the music was melodious and elegant, and she was praised and rewarded by the Queen Mother.
When she returned to her seat, Concubine Wei said with a cold smile: "If the emperor doesn't come today, Concubine Jiang is afraid that she won't have to perform." ”
Really.
Concubine Jiang delayed the two all the way, and the exciting "The emperor has arrived-" only then did her voice sound, everyone saluted, and the Queen Mother also got up to greet her. Xie Zhixing helped her: "My son is late, so I made my mother wait for a long time." ”
"The mourning family still understands the principle of the importance of the court, you can come to accompany the mourning family to pass the time, and the mourning family is too late to be happy. What's more, it's not a big deal, it's just a piece of filial piety of Concubine Jiang, and she organized such a performance with the concubines, but they are all flower-like girls, and it is a pity that only the mourning family appreciates it. ”
As soon as Xie Zhixing arrived, the concubines in the audience were in high spirits.
Their mental outlook is different with the naked eye.
It's a pity that his gaze didn't fall on them, but just bowed his head to the Queen Mother: "Concubine Jiang has a heart, reward." ”
Concubine Jiang pressed her excitement and thanked the reward.
The others looked coldly.
Where is the emperor rewarding Jiang Concubine? It's just to follow the Queen Mother's words.
"Who did I miss?"
After Xie Zhixing sat down, after asking who it was, he also rewarded the three separately.
Feng Concubine, Xu Guiren and You Guiren, who originally thought that they were going to run away completely today, all showed happy looks.
After thanking her, Concubine Feng's palace maid whispered happily: "The emperor remembers Niangniang in his heart." ”
Remember her?
I'm afraid it's just a matter of remembering a fair face that can be passed.
Concubine Feng sighed in her heart, there was still a smile on her lips, she was used to wearing a fake face when walking in the palace, it was not enough to just grin with a big mouth and be silly, she had to show a natural joyful look, as if there were good things every day and she was carefree, so that the Queen Mother would not frown when she saw it.
"The emperor came just in time, if he comes late, he will miss the dance of Concubine Jiang."
The Queen Mother asked the eunuch to take down the list of performances.
The above order has a high degree of fluidity, in short, the emperor does not come for a day, and it is not her niece's turn to perform for a day.
"The concubine will go down to change her clothes and prepare."
Concubine Jiang smiled shyly.
After a while, Concubine Jiang, who was wearing a red-colored dance dress, returned to everyone's sight. She has been preparing for today for a long time, and the water sleeve dance is very amazing on the round stage, during which she secretly sends autumn waves in the direction of the emperor, and the concubine is so angry that her teeth itch.
Her heart was pounding, and she felt better than usual.
Looking at the emperor again, he also clapped his hands lightly.
After bowing and stepping down, the eunuch took a roll call: "Next, Xi Guiren." ”
Concubine Jiang's eyes flashed.
She deliberately arranged the Xi nobles behind herself, the emperor had seen her dancing and knew what was good, but the Xi nobles were not in his eyes.
