"Mother, you also know that Erchen has been busy recently..."
"Busy? Then why did you have time to go to Concubine Qing last night? Oh, the night before last seemed to be Concubine Yan, and the night before was..."
"Cough cough... Empress..." Xia Houyin almost couldn't laugh or cry, he looked at the Empress Dowager and rubbed his temples with a headache. "The queen mother really knows which concubine Linxing is for her son..."
"Your Majesty, if you have time to go to Concubine Qing and Concubine Yan, you don't have time to go to Fengyi Palace." The Empress Dowager glared at her son in dissatisfaction, "Your Empress fell into the water a few days ago, and almost lost her life, you just go to see Do you plan to leave it alone after a while?"
"I didn't ignore it..."
"No? Your Majesty, you said, apart from the day you fell into the water, did you go to Fengyi Palace to see Rong'er?"
"Uh..." Really not, Xia Houyin touched his nose and felt a little guilty when his mother said that. "Okay, when Erchen finishes processing these memorials, he will go to Fengyi Palace to visit the queen..."
Under the stare of the queen mother, he added another sentence. "I will also stay overnight in Fengyi Palace."
The Empress Dowager was finally a little satisfied, so she eased her face. "Yin'er, the queen mother knows that Rong'er is not liked by you, but Rong'er is really a good girl. Although she is left out by you, she still manages the harem very well. She is not beautiful, but has a good personality and a good heart. Yin'er , as long as you know more about Rong'er, you will know her goodness."
"The queen mother, the son knows." Xia Houyin was tired of hearing these words. He also knew how much the queen mother loved the queen, but facing Su Xiurong, he really had no interest at all.
She was always timid and submissive when facing him. He said one, she didn't dare to look back, and she didn't even dare to look at him directly. Every time they met, he could only see her bowed head.
He doubted whether Su Xiurong was afraid of him, why would she marry him if he was afraid of him? With the love of her mother and uncle for her, if she refused, the mother and uncle would not force her.
He really didn't know anything about this queen who had been married for three years—or rather, he didn't want to bother to understand.
Of course, the queen mother could see her son's perfunctory behavior, and she could only shake her head, "You, every time you say you know, after obeying me once, you will treat Fengyi Palace as a cold palace again."
But she can only read it. After all, it's a fact that Rong'er is not liked by Yin'er. She shouldn't be too concerned about matters between husband and wife. She can only read it occasionally to tell her son to take care of her.
He doesn't want to either! But who taught Su Xiurong to be too silent, so silent that he always forgets her existence.
Xia Houyin thought to himself, but he also knew that it was best not to respond to anything at this time, so as not to provoke the empress to read again. He had a bunch of memorials on the table that had not been corrected, but he had no time to continue talking about Su Xiurong with the empress.
The queen mother got up and waved her hand. Seeing her son's eyes aimed at the memorial, she knew that he had no patience to continue this topic, and she also knew how to stop.
"Okay, you are busy! Remember, go to Fengyi Palace at night." Before leaving, she did not forget to remind again.
As soon as the queen mother left, Xia Houyin finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wolf pen again, started a series of memorials, and corrected a few before he spoke.
"Yongfu."
"Yes." A handsome eunuch walked into the imperial study and bowed respectfully.
"Go on, I will set up the Fengyi Palace tonight."
"Yes." Yongfu responded and quietly exited the imperial study.
Xia Houyin pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking of Su Xiurong, he sighed secretly.
Looks like it's going to be another boring night tonight.
What? The emperor is coming to Fengyi Palace tonight
Unlike the surprises of Xia Xi and Chunxi, Jiang Chuwei couldn't laugh at all.
Please, just eat, but she did not miss the eunuch who came to say that the emperor will stay in Fengyi Palace tonight.
Stay in bed!
Doesn't that mean that the emperor wants to... c'mon, can he gnaw on a piece of black charcoal
He wanted to be bitten, but she, Jiang Chuwei, didn't want to be bitten at all!
"Niangniang, the emperor is coming tonight, Xia Xi will help you get dressed up."
"What's there to dress up?" Jiang Chuwei looked over and pouted unhappily. "No matter how you dress up, you can't be more beautiful than you and Chunxi."
There was no irony whatsoever in what she said, she was simply speaking the truth.
But Xia Xi and Chunxi were startled, the two sisters glanced at each other in panic, and quickly knelt down. "My lady, please calm down."
What anger? Jiang Chuwei was kneeling inexplicably, "I'm not dead yet, what are you two kneeling for, get up!"
But Xia Xi and Chunxi still didn't dare to get up. "My lady..."
"Huh?" Jiang Chuwei glanced at them lightly, the queen-like aura shocked them, so they didn't dare to kneel again, and hurriedly got up.
Recently, the master has become so terrifying. She is no longer as gentle as before, and her words are no longer as soft and delicate as before. She has become bold, and she will never allow anyone to defy her words.
And she didn't allow them to kneel down to her, and even asked them to sit down and accompany her to eat. She and Chunxi didn't dare to sit at first, but Niangniang just looked at them lightly and said "sit", the two of them People immediately sat down.
Jiang Chuwei put her hands on her cheeks, looked at the two sisters who were trembling and shrugged, and said lazily, "I'll say it again—this is the last time, don't give me a chance to repeat these words again—I don't like being kneeled, You have to kneel until I die, and you can kneel; also, it is a fact that you are prettier than me, and I will not be angry or inferior because of this fact, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." The two sisters nodded hastily.
Seeing that the master didn't seem unhappy, Chunxi spoke boldly. "But Niangniang, Chunxi thinks Niangniang has become pretty recently!"
As soon as Chunxi said it, Xia Xi, who was next to him, nodded, "Yes, Xia Xi thinks so too."
The two of them are not flattering, it's the truth. Recently, not only has Niangniang's personality changed, but she even looks and feels different.
Niangniang is no longer as thin as before, but has become fleshy. Although she is still slender overall, she looks much more radiant.
Of course, Jiang Chuwei knew that these two girls were not flattering. Compared with the refugees in the past, Su Xiurong is much better now.
She looked at her hands—the complexion was still dark, and after eating barley and white fungus for more than a month, of course she did not expect to return to white immediately, not to mention that Su Xiurong seemed to have naturally dark skin, no matter how much she took care of it, it would not change. It's fair, but at least the complexion is a little lighter now. It's really right to not go to the sun and eat madly every day.
The pig's feet, chicken feet and a bunch of tonic soup finally made Su Xiurong grow some flesh, and the skin became more tender and touchable, like a piece of tofu, which made Jiang Chuwei very satisfied. She could only work hard.
Looking at the flat chest, Jiang Chuwei sighed in her heart. She was so flat and thin. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and a pile of emerald gold hairpins on her head. She wondered why Su Xiurong had not been crushed to death by that pile of clothes before. Otherwise, the head will be broken off by the heavy headgear.
After staying here for nearly two months, from the mouths of the two girls, she probably understood the folk customs here.
People here like plump women, and they wear bright and gorgeous clothes, especially the rich ladies and nobles, who are even more beautiful, not only showing off their shoulders, but also showing large breasts, showing their plump capital generously .
Does Su Xiurong have any money? Of course not, so wearing those shirts that show off your chest and shoulders, you can't hold up at all, but it just exposes your shortcomings.
Moreover, her complexion was dark, and she didn't match the colorful and beautiful clothes at all, and she looked like a clown when she wore it.
Therefore, Jiang Chuwei had to reluctantly ignore the beautiful and exquisite clothes that made people fall in love with them. She chose some plain clothes to wear, and drew a few pictures. She majored in fashion design in college, and drawing a few design pictures meant a lot to her. It's not a problem, and then give those pictures to Xia Xi and ask her to find the embroidery workshop to order them.
Now she is wearing clothes designed by herself, light yellow, the cuffs are tightened with ribbons and then tied into cute bows, Su Xiurong is thin, so she makes the waist of the clothes more obvious, and then tightens it up so that the chest can be seen. It doesn't feel so flat anymore.
Jiang Chuwei looked at the beautiful embroidery on the cuffs, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.
The dressmaking skills here are really good. The embroidery workshop also helped her to embroider the neckline, cuffs and skirt of her dress with the same color pattern. The overall look is low-key but elegant.
As for Su Xiurong's long hair, she originally picked up scissors and wanted to cut it off, but Xia Xi and Chunxi were so frightened that they stopped her. Only then did she know that the women here don't lose their hair after they got married. Hair is more important to them than life. ──It's just sick, what's the point of something like hair that grows at any time
Facing the two sisters' cry, Jiang Chuwei glared at them, the scissors in her hands clicked, and under the screams of the two sisters, she cut her knee-length hair to her waist—
Well, seeing them cry with blushing eyes, blushing noses, she should not go too far. Besides, she is Su Xiurong now, and she is still a queen. It is better to keep a low profile when you first arrive.
She simply thinned her hair -- her mother was a hairdresser when she was alive, and she learned a lot from her, and she always trimmed her own hair.
Su Xiurong's face is small and slender. She cut the hair on both sides of her face thin, and then cut thin bangs. She usually puts her long hair in a half bun, and then ties the drooping hair into braids. With ribbons of the same color tied with a small hairpin on the hairline, Su Xiurong looked completely different. Although her appearance was still ordinary, it was at least much better than the ugly one she used to look like.
"That empress... the emperor is coming today..." Seeing that the master was silent, Xia Xi spoke cautiously. For some reason, she felt that the master was not very happy with the arrival of the emperor.
Knowing that Xia Xi would look at people's faces, Jiang Chuwei smiled slightly, her eyes flashing sharply, "Go and tell my father-in-law that I'm not feeling well tonight and I shouldn't be in bed... Please find another concubine to put out the fire!" Of course, the last sentence is If she couldn't tell the truth, she believed that with Xia Xi's intelligence, she knew how to answer.
Of course Xia Xi understood that the master's last sentence made her face red. Seeing the arrogant look of the master, although she felt that the master had become strange, such a master was disgusting. She smiled and obeyed the master. Order. "Yes, Xia Xi will go here."
"Yeah!" Jiang Chuwei nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Chunxi: "Chunxi, the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made yesterday was delicious."
"Your mother likes it? Then Chunxi will do it right away, and then help the master to cook a bowl of silver?font color="red">You will feed it! Beihe is often remnant of a steel beard shadow, and the mother is a badger?br /> Seeing the two girls leave, Jiang Chuwei picked up the tea and drank it leisurely, with a disdainful grin on her lips.
Want her to sleep
Pooh! Tell the emperor to get away! No matter what life Jiang Chuwei was in, only men would kneel and lick her toes, just hoping to have the opportunity to serve her.
Want her to serve men? Bah! Don't even think about it!
"The Empress is not feeling well?" Xia Houyin raised his eyebrows when he heard Yongfu's report, but Jun Pang didn't have a trace of worry, he just asked plainly, "Have you hired an imperial doctor?"
Yongfu lowered his head and replied. "Xia Xi said that the queen is only infected with a small cold, and she has already found a doctor to prescribe medicine for the queen to take, but the queen is afraid that the wind and cold will infect the body of the holy dragon, I am afraid it is not suitable to sleep tonight."
But Xia Xi's attitude was a little hesitant when he returned, which made him feel a little strange.
But Yongfu didn't think too much about it. It's impossible for the empress to pretend to be sick and refuse to sleep in the bed? Shit, this is impossible, how could anyone refuse the grace of the Holy Spirit
Xia Houyin pondered for a while, and said casually: "Bring a few ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus from Yanguo to Fengyi Palace, and ask the imperial physician to pay more attention to the queen's phoenix body."
"Yes." Yongfu bowed his head and responded. He has been with the emperor since he was a child, and he understands the emperor's mind. This time he doesn't have to go to Fengyi Palace. The emperor must be relieved. Who in the palace doesn't know that the queen is not favored? The huge Fengyi Palace has only two palace maids to serve. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's backing, the Queen's humility and meekness were also supported by the ministers. The Queen who has not yet conceived may have lost her status.
"Then, does the emperor want to go to Fengyi Palace tonight, or do you want to inform Qingling Palace?" Recently, Qing Concubine has been very popular with the emperor, and almost half of the past six months, Qing Concubine has been in bed.
Xia Houyin raised the corners of his lips and looked at the valet with a half-smile. "Yongfu, you really understand my mind."
Yongfu stole a glance at the emperor, and when he saw that the master was not angry, he immediately raised his chest and looked proud. "Of course, the little ones have been by your side since childhood. They don't understand the big things and the little ones can't share your worries for you. So of course, in the little things, you must serve to satisfy the emperor."
Hearing Yongfu's words, Xia Houyin laughed softly, "You brat, you can talk with just this mouth." With such a caring valet by his side, he really saved a lot of trouble, "Let's pass it on, tonight I am in Qingling. Palace dinner." After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look at the memorial on the table.
"Yes." Yongfu bowed his head and left, turned around and informed the people in Qingling Palace to prepare.
