Chapter 108: Reward her for sleeping for one night
"But mother." Tian Lingyue was a little embarrassed. She stayed in Changle Palace well, how could she say that she was sick, and the hospital would take the pulse. The doctors of the Tai Hospital are very skilled, and if they are caught pretending to be sick, they will still have it.
"Hongu didn't let you feign illness." Meng Yuzhu's eyes revealed a different kind of brilliance, Tian Lingyue's mother died, Tian Lingyue was somewhat haggard, this haggard appearance, it was a pity not to get sick, so she gave her an idea: "You miss your mother very much, it is inevitable to get sick, for the emperor's favor, you should also fight for some anger, you look at the Yongfu Palace, now you are even doing woodwork, you are incompetent and incompetent, and you don't need some means, how to win the emperor's heart?" In the palace, no favor is like death. ”
Tian Lingyue listened silently.
When I returned to the side hall, the snow was already in my knees.
There was no light in the sky, and the night was deep, and only a few palace lamps gave a faint light in the corners, and they were not very bright.
Tian Lingyue, who was standing in the side hall of Changle Palace, took off the cloak on her body and handed it to the palace maid Mangosteen, and stood under the corridor wearing only a thin blue-green shirt.
The wind was tight overnight.
Mangosteen tried to bring her a charcoal fire to keep her warm, but was also refused.
On the second day, Tian Lingyue fell ill.
In the evening, the eunuchs of Changle Palace ran to Taihe Palace to find the emperor, saying that Tian Lingyue was sick and had a bad fever and wanted to see the emperor.
When the emperor came to Changle Palace, Tian Lingyue was still lying in the side hall, and the imperial doctor had just prescribed medicine, saying that he was suffering from the cold and needed to be nourished.
The emperor touched Tian Lingyue's forehead, and it was really hot.
Mangosteen knelt down and said: "Because the master's mother is gone, the master is too sad, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he has been weak recently, but now the snow is heavy, and he has a cold, so he falls ill." ”
Meng Yuzhu personally brought the decoction and fed it to Tian Lingyue's mouth: "Sister should also look away, people can't be resurrected after death, you are the promise of the harem, you should think about serving the emperor well, you look at such a big snow, the emperor has come to see you." ”
Tian Lingyue wanted to say something in her mouth, but Meng Yuzhu poured a spoonful of decoction.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the road is slippery in the cold, so it's better to rest in Changle Palace." Meng Yuzhu climbed the emperor's arm, and let the eunuch in the respectful room bring the green head card, she just didn't see it, and she was bound to keep the emperor.
"Tian promised to be sick, I have to rest, I'm afraid I can't serve the emperor, it's better to go to the concubine, and the concubine stewed a good soup for the emperor."
Meng Yuzhu hugged the emperor and left, leaving Tian Lingyue alone to lie on the couch, her forehead was so hot that she could scald eggs, watching the emperor come and go.
Mangkhut folded the quilt for Tian Lingyue, listening to the busy voice of the eunuchs and palace maids in the main hall, Mangosteen said in a low voice: "Obviously said that the master was sick and asked the emperor to come up to accompany the master, I don't want the emperor to be snatched away by that side as soon as he comes, isn't the master sick in vain?" It was so cold last night, and the master stood in the snow for so long."
"Shhh Meng Yuzhu hasn't even touched the emperor's hand these days, just taking this opportunity to get close to the emperor, she is just a small promise, just like an ant in the harem, the weight is too light, she can't grab it.
in the bedroom.
The rose-red embroidered gold peony curtain is heavy and heavy.
On the screen embroidered with Yang Guifei's Huaqing Pool bathing picture, there is an open dress embroidered by Meng Yuzhu flesh pink gold thread Chengyun, before the emperor came to Changle Palace, she has been sitting in front of the bronze mirror for an hour, combing the flying fairy bun, the black hair is loose and coiled, and the head is full of pearls and emeralds into the dazzling eyes, a red gold inlaid southern pearl hairpin, a silver inlaid double jade bead step sway, stacked red sapphire blue treasure crown, there is also a bright begonia flower, a pair of pearl earrings in the light flashing a faint white light, lining her face is also a little whiter, Her chest was as white as snow, and she wore only a looming waist-pinching tunic skirt with hazy flowers on the hem.
The screen was filled with the light of the screen, and she stood in front of the screen, dancing slowly with the dark fragrance of Changle Palace.
Hazy and beautiful.
The moment was hazy.
Meng Yuzhu was carefully dressed, and even this dance was practiced several times.
I thought that this night's sleeping would be extraordinarily emotional.
Later, I found out that I thought too much.
Meng Yuzhu danced for half a pillar of incense, but the emperor didn't even look up at her, just stared out the window in a daze, looking at Gao Rang's reflection on the window.
When did Meng Yuzhu sit on such a cold bench?
Could it be that the eunuch Gao Rang is more seductive than himself?
What does it mean that the emperor has been staring at him.
Later, Meng Yuzhu learned that the emperor cared about his royal bow.
After Meng Yuzhu finished dancing the two dances, the emperor asked her to quickly get dressed.
In the middle of the night, the emperor asked her to put on her clothes.
Meng Yuzhu just put her clothes on, trying to squeeze out a smile: "But what is there that makes the emperor unwilling?" ”
The emperor clapped his hands, and Gao let the fart and hold the bow in.
The emperor stroked the imperial bow. Look left, look right, and then look at the candlelight.
I can't put it down.
Meng Yuzhu has been walking in the harem for many years, so she naturally knows the meaning of Aiwu and Wu, and is busy flattering: "It is said that this bow and arrow was given by the first emperor, and one bow shoots thousands of people." A good bow is matched with a hero, and only a son of heaven like the emperor is worthy of it. ”
"Do you think this bow is good?"
"Yes, looking at the darkness and shiny, and the gems on it, it must be the work of a skilled craftsman."
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course. How can ordinary people have such superb craftsmanship? This bow and arrow has been passed down to the emperor for many years since the first emperor, and it is still kept so well, it seems that the emperor has taken extra care. ”
Meng Yuzhu praised everything she could think of to praise the emperor. I thought that the emperor would be happy, as if he had met a bosom friend, it was possible to hug her and talk about wine, but the emperor said: "This is thanks to Du Changzai." ”
When it comes to Du Zhiyan, Meng Yuzhu is like eating a fly.
"As far as the concubine knows, this bow and arrow has always been enshrined in the Taimiao, what does it have to do with Du Changzai?"
"The royal bow has been for a long time, and it has to be maintained, Du Chang is working in the wood, and the maintenance of this royal bow is good."
Yes, yes, yes.
The bow is well maintained.
It is clear that the royal is like a bow, and every sentence is always there.
Meng Yuzhu had already turned over and over in her heart, and thought of a hundred ways to die for Du Zhiyan.
"Her father is just a five-pin, and he can't be imprisoned on the five-pin. In the supervision of the imperial history of the official position of inaction for many years, the year before because of the heavy rain said that I offended the heavens, I also fined him three months of Yulu, who can believe that their Du family in the way of the official ability is limited, but in the wood is very good. "The emperor stroked the royal bow.
Meng Yuzhu helplessly dialed the candle flame three times, and watched the emperor mention Du Zhiyan eight times, and touched the imperial bow thirteen times.
The emperor remembered her: "Concubine, you come." ”
Meng Yuzhu hurriedly lifted her skirt and sat on the bed.
"What are you doing here, what are you doing in bed?"
Meng Yuzhu said goodbye and went to the emperor's side.
"Look at these green cards, are they all old."
I thought the emperor was going to pamper her, but I didn't expect to show her the green card?
Let her see the royal bow for a while, let her see the green head card for a while, and he didn't think about it at all. It seems that dressing up is useless, and crazy dancing talents are useless.
The Green Head has always been arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Meng Yuzhu's green head card is used the most, and the minions of the Internal Affairs Office take care of it almost every day and paint it constantly, so her green head card is like a new one.
Others, on the other hand, are not so lucky.
The emperor didn't like to take care of it, and gradually, the words on the green head card were blurred, and the green head card that Zhao promised had long since faded and no one cared. Anyway, the emperor can't remember such people, let alone their green cards.
In late September last year, because he couldn't read the words on the green head card, the emperor called the wrong person, and he didn't find out until he was halfway through his sleep. Frightened, the emperor had nightmares for three nights.
Meng Yuzhu said aggrievedly: "Isn't it enough to have a concubine's green head card?" Who else does the emperor want to summon? ”
"I heard from people in the palace that Du Changzai did the best job in woodwork."
It's Du Zhiyan again.
Meng Yuzhu secretly shook the handkerchief.
The emperor is obviously in Cao Ying's heart, and his heart is in Han.
"It's so late, the emperor doesn't want to see Du Chang doing woodwork, right?"
"Not really, I'm thinking, let her make some green cards again, you look at these green cards, dirty, dirty, broken, after all, it's something for me to see, it doesn't look like it."
"What the emperor said is that it's just that it's not early, it's time to go to bed and rest."
"I'm not sleepy." The emperor didn't mean to sleep at all.
It's been three shifts in the night.
Meng Yuzhu could only lie on the bed and shake her handkerchief with her shoulders exposed: "Your Majesty. It's time to go to bed. ”
"I'll look at the green head again."
The emperor of the living beauty doesn't look at it, but wants to see what green head card.
Meng Yuzhu lay on the bed in a sultry posture and looked at the emperor affectionately, watching the yellow candle gradually go out, and finally, Meng Yuzhu really couldn't hold back and fell asleep.
As soon as he woke up, he disappeared from the emperor.
Even Mangosteen in the side hall, when he was boiling medicine for Tian Lingyue, quietly reported to Tian Lingyue: "The emperor went to the concubine's room last night, but he just sat and talked, and he didn't ...... early, the emperor left. ”
Meng Yuzhu sat in front of the bronze mirror with a gloomy face, and was served by the palace maids to freshen up.
Listening to the cashew nut, the emperor left as soon as dawn, this night the servants were waiting outside, there was no movement in the bedroom, the concubine fell asleep first, and after the concubine fell asleep, the emperor was grinding those green head cards for a long time, with affection.
"Niangniang, the emperor seems to be very addicted to things made of wood." Cashew Nut carefully wrung a towel to Meng Yuzhu to wipe her face, but Meng Yuzhu threw the towel into the basin, and the splashed water wet Meng Yuzhu's bedclothes, Cashew Nut and the others quickly knelt down: "Niang Niang forgive her sins, slaves and maids should not talk nonsense." ”
The figure in the bronze mirror is dim.
Meng Yuzhu's face was even more gloomy than in the bronze mirror.
For this night's sleep, she used Tian Lingyue as a bait, and finally got the emperor over, and then listened to the emperor talk about Du Zhiyan all night?
What kind of clear soup and little water is this?
The emperor was clearly thinking about Du Zhiyan.
Meng Yuzhu in the bronze mirror has an outstanding posture and a burning gaze. After wearing it, the red and green treasures shine together, and the black bun looks like a black cloud.
With her appearance and talent, she sat firmly in the position of concubine.
Now, the emperor is dizzy by the surname Du?
Cashew nuts put on emerald green earrings for Meng Yuzhu, and brought bird's nest porridge.
"The master doesn't have to be discouraged, that Du Changzai just knows how to do a few kinds of woodwork, if the master wants to learn, the slave will go to invite the carpenter in the palace."
Meng Yuzhu pressed the bird's nest porridge in front of the bronze mirror, where did she still have an appetite: "Go and find out, where did the emperor go after he went out of Changle Palace." ”
"The slave maid has already inquired, and the emperor went to the early court when he left the Changle Palace, but he sent Gao Rang to the Yongfu Palace, but I don't know what news to transmit."
Out of the gate of Changle Palace, the emperor instructed Gao Rang to go to the Yongfu Palace.
Gao Rang is also clever: "Your Majesty, I heard that the handiwork for the ladies is exchanged for gold and silver, hairpins, and jade beads. ”
"If she does well, reward her for sleeping for one night."
"Yes."
Du Zhiyan was packing up her axes, shavings knives and other tools in the Yongfu Palace, and under the teaching of Master Lu Ban, she even had a toolbox.
Shi Jing was dumbfounded: "My mother said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and my father said that a woman can also know some words to know the general situation, but no one taught me, and doing wooden work can also call the emperor to like it, Du only said, which grandmother taught you this trick." ”
"I'm just doing it casually....."
"Self-taught, isn't it? I know that you have your own way of confusing the emperor, follow you, and you are sure that it is right. ”
Du only said...
Gao Rang smiled and saluted Du Weiyan: "The emperor said, please ask the master to make green head cards for the ladies of the palace." If you do it well, reward the master for sleeping for one night. ”
A night's sleep?
Du Zhiyan was a little reluctant.
Reward some gold and silver ingots, or reward the attendant for one night, isn't this to be upside down? Not only do you have to work, but you also have to serve the emperor when you do it well? The emperor's abacus beads hit, and she heard it in the Yongfu Palace.
"The emperor wants you to sleep and say it directly, and let you make a green head card for the girls, and do a good job of rewarding you for sleeping for one night, tsk, hypocritical man." Shi Jing pouted: "It's not ashamed to let you sleep directly." ”
Du Zhiyan was not thinking about the bed. After living for two lifetimes, Du Zhiyan became more and more aware that if he wanted to live well in the harem of Chen Guo, the emperor's favor accounted for a share, and gold, silver, jewelry and points had to be earned honestly. Otherwise, if you are a poor ghost, you will not be welcomed anywhere.
"Isn't the master willing to be a green card?" Gao Jean asked.
"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just"
"Just what?"
"It's just. I'm willing to make green cards for girls for free, and the reward will be forgotten. ”
Gao Jean thought it was incredible.
What a noble sentiment Du Chang is.
The ladies of the other palace are crying and shouting for bed.
Du Changzai actually refused, she wanted to make green cards for the girls for free.
The emperor also thought it was incredible.
"Does she really only work, not reward?"
Gao Jean nodded.
Why is that?
The emperor thought for a long time, and finally came up with an answer: "This Du Chang is here, is she disgusting me?" ”
"No, Your Majesty, which woman in the palace is not looking forward to you."
"That'...... Why is Du Changzai different from them? She doesn't like men, does she? ”
Gao Rang was pouring tea for the emperor, and almost poured it on his hand.
The emperor was still talking to himself: "I am such a suave and suave son as unparalleled in the world, she doesn't even covet it?" She likes women eighty percent, otherwise she always runs after the queen. ”
