Feiluan Palace seems to be the same as before, and it seems to be different from before. The place where the candlesticks used to be placed has now been replaced with lanterns, and there are several court ladies standing aside with thick black cloth in their hands. Only then did Feiluan’s palace become dark, and they covered the lanterns with the black cloth in their hands. .
His Majesty the Emperor opened his eyes, and his gaze fell straight on the dressed-up concubine in front of him, and he was a little speechless, "Ai concubine... you..."
Yao Yanyan pursed her lips and smiled, holding the box and walking to her Majesty step by step. She tilted her head, and the golden steps on her head swayed and swayed, making the beauty more gorgeous under the candlelight. She said to her Majesty: "Your Majesty, are you surprised?"
His Majesty the Emperor grinned, and nodded again and again: "Surprise surprise, special surprise, I... I didn't expect... Ai Concubine would be like this... Ai Concubine you are so beautiful!"
Yao Yanyan couldn't help being happy when she saw her Majesty's incoherent joy and the look of wanting to jump up.
She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees you are busy and tired these days, and I wanted to prepare a surprise for you a long time ago. Come and take a look at the present the concubine prepared for you!"
His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand to take the box in the hand of Concubine Ai, reaching halfway but then stopped.
"Ai Concubine, wait a minute." After saying that, he asked someone to make a basin of water, washed his hands and wiped them dry, and then solemnly took the box in Ai Concubine's hand.
Yao Yanyan looked at him in such a solemn manner, and she wanted to laugh a little, but she was more moved.
Seeing your Majesty holding the box and placing it at the table cherishedly, Yao Yanyan leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what is in this box?"
His Majesty the emperor heard the words of Ai Concubine. Although he wanted to open the box and have a look at once, he was still suppressed. He curiously asked, "What is it?"
Yao Yanyan smiled and said, "It's clothes made of silk!"
His Majesty the Emperor:...
Seeing her Majesty froze, Yao Yanyan said strangely: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
His Majesty the Emperor hesitated: "The silkworm... can weave silk so soon?" It has only been seven days since Concubine Ai found the silkworm! How could it be so fast
Seeing her majesty’s surprise, Yao Yanyan explained: “This is naturally not made of silk spit out by the silkworm. The concubine ordered people to search for mulberry trees and made them from silkworm cocoons plucked from the mulberry tree.”
Yao Yanyan didn’t know why. As soon as she saw the cocoon, the method of reeling appeared in her mind. She ordered the collected thousands of cocoons to be boiled in a pot, and the cocoons swelled after being boiled in water. It was easy to draw out the silk. The ladies of the Weaving Bureau took the reeling machine that sorted lotus silk, and pulled out all the silk from the cocoons to make fine threads. It took another three days to knit enough. Cut out the fabric of a piece of clothing... Until today, the finished product was delivered to Yao Yanyan.
Seeing your Majesty hesitate, Yao Yanyan quickly said: "Your Majesty, open it soon, it's beautiful!"
She didn't know. His Majesty the Emperor would hesitate to think that the box was made of silk clothes. He would be happy to sell silk to make money, but he would wear clothes made of silk on his body. …
His Majesty the Emperor fantasized about the feeling of the soft bug crawling on him, and shivered severely. For a while, I dared not open that box.
Seeing Ai Concubine standing aside looking at him enthusiastically, His Majesty the Emperor swallowed and tried to escape the catastrophe. He discussed: "Ai Concubine, this is the clothes you gave me. It is too precious, I I can't bear to wear it, I can't even open it to see."
Yao Yanyan looked at him suspiciously, only listening to her Majesty's whisper: "Ai Concubine, in order to show my sincerity, I put the clothes together with the box in the Zichen Hall, what do you think?"
Yao Yanyan:...
She looked at the pleased look on her majesty's face, and suddenly understood what her majesty meant.
Thinking of your Majesty still not daring to reach out to touch the silkworms, and to see what his Majesty looks like now, Yao Yanyan wanted to laugh a little, she tried to hold her back, and said to her Majesty: "Your Majesty, are you afraid of the clothes made of silk
His Majesty the emperor did not expect to be seen through by his concubine so soon, he immediately retorted: "I... I am a dignified emperor, how could I be afraid? What a joke!"
"Oh?" Yao Yanyan rolled her eyes and smiled: "In that case, your Majesty will open the box and put on your clothes!"
His Majesty's expression froze instantly.
Yao Yanyan held back her laugh, tried her best to make a puzzled look, and said, "Your Majesty is not afraid?"
His Majesty the Emperor looked complicated and entangled, as if what was in the box was not a piece of silk clothing, but a handful of poison.
Upon seeing this, Yao Yanyan raised her hand to tell everyone in the room to retreat, then put her arm around her, and kissed his face on tiptoe.
His Majesty the Emperor was stunned.
Yao Yanyan hugged his waist and abdomen to behave like a coquettish, "Your Majesty, the concubine spent a lot of time to make this dress! You must look very good in this dress, so you will feel sorry for the concubine. Wear it for your concubine. Look! Okay?" As she said, she raised her finger to show him.
"Look, your majesty, my concubine's finger was cut for silk reeling that day, and it still hurts now!"
His Majesty the Emperor looked down and saw Ai Fei's snow-white index finger had a shallow cut, and he immediately forgot the entanglement he had just now, and only held her kiss distressedly. At the same time, my heart is full of regret, hey, when did I become so weak? Isn’t it just a garment made of silk? In order to make this dress for me, Concubine Ai cut her finger. How can I be hypocritical
So His Majesty the Emperor opened the box firmly and quickly took out the clothes inside.
As soon as the clothes started, the silky soft touch came, and the emperor was taken aback. He lowered his head and looked carefully and saw that the clothes in his hand were so white that there was no trace of variegation, and there was a faint flow of brilliance under the candlelight, which was so beautiful.
This... This turned out to be a garment made of silk? Seeing that it is ten times better than clothes made of lotus silk!
His Majesty the Emperor was shocked, until Ai Fei took off his clothes and helped him put on this snow-white silk dress, he was a little bit overwhelmed. He never expected that the silk spit out of that inconspicuous little bug could be woven into such a good dress!
The silk feels very soft and comfortable when worn on the body. His Majesty was shocked so that he could not speak for a while. There was only one thought in his heart, that is, the concubine Ai was right!
Ai Fei said that sweet potatoes and jokes are delicious, and they are all delicious! Concubine Ai said that the clothes woven from silkworms look more beautiful than Hesi clothes. They are not only good-looking but also comfortable!
Thinking of the suffering that Concubine Ai had endured in order to knit this silk garment for himself, His Majesty was moved to tears. He had already forgotten all the merits of the court ladies in the Weaving Bureau, and believed that it was Concubine Ai's own hands. The clothes that I wove made me hug Yao Yanyan and choked sob: "Ai Concubine, you are so kind to me! I am so touched."
Yao Yanyan looked at her majesty's movement and thought of the scene when she was scalded by the splashed water droplets when she stirred the cocoons in the pot with a wooden stick. She also felt that she was great. She hugged her and was about to say something about herself. Moved, I suddenly heard a grunt.
Since there were two of them in the sleeping hall at the moment, the movement from the stomach of the Emperor seemed very loud.
Yao Yanyan looked at the embarrassment of her Majesty, couldn't help but smiled, and then called someone to bring the dinner up.
The palace ladies holding the dishes filed in, led by Lan Mengshi and the green pot. The two placed the dishes on the table one by one from the trays in the hands of the palace ladies, and then invited the emperor and concubine to take their seats.
His Majesty the Emperor was in a very good mood, but when he saw that Lan Mengshi was there, there was something wrong all over his body.
So that night, the maids who watched the Emperor and Concubine’s meal saw the two rarely perform "I feed you", "No, I'll feed you", "You eat first" "No, you eat first" game.
The dinner that could have been eaten within two quarters of an hour, the two ate it for half an hour, and before the two of them finished eating, the dish was cold and icy.
Lan Mengshi glanced with some worry, this dish is cold, I don't know if your majesty and the empress will have a stomachache after using it
His Majesty the Emperor found her eyes, but he was secretly proud: this woman must be very jealous now that I can make love to my concubine! Humph, mad at her!
When going to bed at night, it was Lan Mengshi and Bihu's turn to watch the night outside.
So Yao Yanyan found out that Your Majesty was working surprisingly hard tonight. It was not enough to ask twice, and he asked twice. When it was over, both of them were very tired.
Yao Yanyan was sweating all over, but she didn't bother to take a bath anymore, she just felt that she couldn't lift her whole body. When her Majesty was comfortably held in her arms, she thought of Princess Fengyang's dream in a daze.
Your Majesty has never worked so hard before, do they really want to have a baby
Thinking of this, Yao Yanyan, who had fallen into sleep, couldn't help but smile.
Early the next morning, Yao Yanyan began to prepare the basket after sending off her Majesty.
After experiencing silkworms, Yao Yanyan was convinced of Princess Fengyang’s dream. She even felt that Princess Fengyang must have the ability to predict the future, but it was too terrifying to tell the story, so the princess only dreamed of it. Told her in the name of.
Yao Yanyan understood very well, and she did not dare to tell anyone about the rebirth of her and her majesty. So Fengyang is dreaming, just treat her as a dream!
Since Feng Yang was willing to tell her, that was the one who trusted her and his majesty. She felt like she couldn't live up to this trust.
Recalling what Feng Yang said, Yao Yanyan asked someone to find a basket that could hold a baby, and spread several layers of cloth in it, and then steadily placed it on the openwork carved double dragon spit-beads gold low cabinet beside the bed.
She touched her belly, and said in her heart: You're done, now we are waiting for the baby to be born!
Yao Yanyan is convinced of the princess's dream, and now she has begun to fantasize about what will happen after the baby is born.
Life flies quickly, and the Queen Mother’s birthday is coming in the blink of an eye.
A lot of things happened during this time, of which three are more important.
The first thing was that Bai Zhou selected a suitable emperor merchant for the emperor.
His Majesty also expressed his unquestioning broad-mindedness and directly handed over most of the property belonging to the royal family to the royal merchants. Of course, the two hundred thousand taels of silver bills he hid beside the bed did not move. As for the purpose of the silver, His Majesty did not say, and Yao Yanyan did not ask.
In the second matter, His Majesty issued an edict, and on the basis of the Queen Mother’s birthday, he proposed to build a highway from Kyoto to the border, but the road was expensive and the imperial court did not have enough money to build the road, so he proposed to have a home in the prefectures and counties along the way. Well-offered businessmen can fund the next section. Anyone who has cultivated ten miles will have one child in his family who can participate in the scientific examination. If he embarks on an official career and cultivates twenty miles, he can have two family children participate in the scientific examination. And so on.
The third thing is that the neighbor Chen Guo sent an envoy, saying that he would establish diplomatic relations with Qi. According to the news from the messenger, the day when Chen Guo envoy came to the capital of Qi, it happened to be the Queen Mother’s birthday.
Yao Yanyan and His Majesty have discussed this issue more than once. Most courtiers think that Chen Guo intends to fix it with Qi Guo, because according to the news from the messenger, Chen Guo brought several cars of jewelry to the Queen Mother this time. Full of sincerity.
However, Yao Yanyan and His Majesty were born again! Chen Guo's wolf ambition, the two of them know better than anyone else! Therefore, the envoy of Chen Guo must have conspired this time!
On this day, Yao Yanyan came back from Sangyuan. While thinking about the envoy Chen’s coming to Beijing the day after tomorrow, she walked towards Feiluan Palace. She heard the palace say that your Majesty was teasing silkworms in Feiluan Palace, and she didn’t think so. strange.
Since your Majesty put on clothes made of silk that night, he has seen great commercial value from the silk. Now, your Majesty looks at the silkworm babies like a group of hens that lay golden eggs. Yao Yanyan thinks about it. Go, only use the word "kindness" to describe your majesty's eyes.
Thinking of this, she stepped into Feiluan Palace.
His Majesty who heard the sound turned around, holding a basket in his hand.
Seeing her, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes lit up and shouted: "Ai Concubine, come and see our baby!"
Yao Yanyan:...
Why is this scene so familiar
She stared at the basket in His Majesty's hand for a while, and then was shocked to find that this is the basket she prepared for the baby
What's in this basket is...
Yao Yanyan walked over in a complicated mood, and saw that the basket was covered with a layer of tender mulberry leaves, and five or six silkworms were lying in it, eating the mulberry leaves diligently.
Yao Yanyan:...
She raised her head very slowly and said to her Majesty: "Why do you want to put silkworms in this basket?"
The emperor took it for granted: "The box I used to raise silkworms was accidentally broken. I just saw this basket in the house, so I just used it? Concubine Ai, is it suitable..."
His Majesty the emperor paused in the middle of speaking, and he asked in doubt, "What's wrong with you, Concubine Ai?"
Yao Yanyan bitterly, she wanted to cry without tears, "The concubine did not expect that the baby you were talking about was actually a silkworm."
His Majesty the Emperor:? ?
The author has something to say:
Insects are caught at night, so there will be frequent update reminders, please ignore it! By the way, when I was washing the dishes this afternoon, I found an ant with a larger body and a bigger belly than it crawled on the ground. I suspect this is a queen ant.
