In the season when the emperor didn't like flipping brands, he actually went to Zhaobi's place twice in a row. Although he flipped the brand of Yanguibi on the first night, the emperor went to Taoyu Pavilion later.
The women in the harem have different ideas, but if anyone is the most unpleasant, I am afraid that it is a noble concubine. She has always been favored in the harem, but she did not expect that the emperor would live with other concubines after leaving her Linyuexuan.
Zhuang Luoyan knew in his heart that he might be a bit of an eye-catcher, but compared with the concubine Shugui and Yangui, it was nothing, so he was not afraid of being the target of public criticism. But when concubines are favored, few women are really stupid enough to be embarrassed, but if they fall out of favor, it will not be so.
The weather in the morning was not too hot, but as an emperor, one had to pay attention to his appearance. Although the dragon robe was made of fine silk threads, Zhuang Luoyan still couldn't help feeling sympathy when he looked at it. Look at this emperor, the layers of clothes are put on, I don't know what the sultry heat will be like.
Feng Jin turned his head and saw the concern and worry in Zhuang Luoyan's eyes, and immediately smiled: "How is this, Concubine Ai?"
"Back to the emperor, the concubine is just worried about the hot weather. Although the emperor's dragon robe is mighty and suave, it is a bit boring after all." Zhuang Luoyan noticed something wrong as soon as he said this, not to mention that the dragon robe is from the three places of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shu. Made of the best weavers, even if the dragon robe is really uncomfortable, a concubine of hers is not qualified to say whether the dragon robe is good or bad. Not only her, I am afraid that even the queen is not qualified to speak up. Sure enough, even if she has the memory of the ancients, she still lacks some of the ancients' reverence for the imperial majesty in her bones.
"Concubine Ai's words are reasonable," Feng Jin seemed to be unaware of the inappropriateness of her words, and raised her hand to let the maid take care of the accessories around her waist, "It's just for the monarch, you can't forget to be right because of temporary greed. "What's more, this dragon robe, I don't know how many hands stained with blood may not be able to wear it.
"It's the concubine's short-sightedness," Zhuang Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief. Whether the emperor really didn't notice it or pretended not to notice it, at least it meant that the emperor would not investigate the inappropriateness of this remark.
"Concubine Ai is all about me, I know what you mean," Feng Jin put his hand behind him and looked at Zhuang Luoyan with a smile, "I'm leaving now, you don't have to take me off, if it's hot today, you won't be able to take a rest for a while. sleep."
Zhuang Luoyan accepted the emperor's kindness most of the time, and occasionally expressed reluctance. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be very satisfied with her behavior, she didn't need to send it to the palace gate today.
In a TV series in a previous life, Huang Taiji loved Concubine Chen very much. The reason was that among so many women, Concubine Chen was the only one who regarded him as her husband instead of the emperor. According to Zhuang Luoyan, people like emperors are the most difficult type of men in the world to serve. In the Han Dynasty, A Jiao's treatment of Liu Che was the attitude of a woman to her husband, but in the end she ended up in tears.
Therefore, the emperor, a creature, not only hopes that women will treat him as her husband, but also hopes that women will respect him obediently when they should fear him. It can be seen that men are more fickle than women. Zhuang Luoyan felt that if anyone else said something similar to a woman's heart bottom needle, she should slap him.
After lingering on the bed for a while, Zhuang Luoyan was a little earlier than the usual time for greetings. When he arrived at Jingyang Palace, there were only Concubine Xian and two concubines of different status. , At a glance, people feel that the word virtuous is suitable for her.
"Concubine Zhao served the emperor last night, why did you come so early today?" The queen asked Heyu to show Concubine Zhao tea, and smiled gently, "Such a lovely person, even this palace will feel distressed when she sees it."
"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come and talk to the Empress earlier," Zhuang Luo grinned.
"What's the matter," the Queen said, "The weather has been hot recently, and Ben Gong wakes up earlier than usual. If you can come earlier, Ben Gong also has many people to accompany you to speak."
Concubine Xian's tone was as gentle as her appearance. She smiled and looked at Concubine Zhao and said, "Empress Empress, Sister Zhao Concubine is also a smart one. Why don't you talk about what happened just now with Concubine Zhao."
Zhuang Luoyan held the tea hand for a moment, then smiled and said, "Could it be that Concubine Xian made fun of the concubine, the concubine's status is low, and I don't know what the concubine came up with." Bring up the identity earlier, so as not to really come out When something happened, he was charged with a low-ranking but no-nonsense crime.
"It wasn't a big deal at first, but it's just a few days before Concubine Shu's birthday, and this palace is thinking about what to do for her," the queen smiled, "Concubine Shu is also an honest person, and she actually said that it should not be extravagant. No need to do anything, what are you talking about?"
I'm afraid the queen is worried, afraid that she will be accused of being extravagant, that she will be too rudimentary, and that she will be charged with a crime that cannot be tolerated. Now that I am discussing with them, I just want to show that she has the intention to be good to Concubine Shu. Just do it.
Seeing the queen's beautiful eyes staring at him, Zhuang Luoyan put down the tea cup with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Back to the queen, the concubine has not been in the palace for a long time, and many things are not clear." Seeing the queen's face Shang's smile seemed to have faded a little, and he said again: "Concubine Shu Gui has served the emperor for many years, and the emperor also remembers it if she wants to come."
The queen smiled slightly when she heard the words, "Yes, the emperor is probably thinking about it too." After speaking, she glanced at Concubine Zhao with satisfaction, "Today, Shangshan Superintendent has released two new desserts, and they were ordered early in the morning. People brought it here, and Heyu quickly brought it up for Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhao to taste."
"If it suits your appetite, I will send some to you as well." The Queen took a sip of tea, her tender white knuckles lining the blue and white fine porcelain teacup, which was a bit inferior.
"Your Majesty, the Queen asks to see you."
In the afternoon, Feng Jin was leaning on the soft couch and listening to the new music made by Yuewufu. Hearing the eunuch's report, he lazily opened his eyes, "Xuan."
Seeing the Queen come in, Feng Jin excused her from the ceremony, and smiled and helped her sit down with him, "This is a new song from the Music and Dance House. The Queen and I will listen to it together."
The queen glanced at a few musicians, and paused for a while at one of the glamorous women. She smiled and listened to the emperor for a while. After the song stopped, she said: "Today, I will talk to Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhao. On the birthday of Concubine Shu Gui, the concubine thought that she should arrange a fight for Concubine Shu, or it was Concubine Zhao reminding the concubine that I remembered that the emperor also had a reward, and it is not appropriate for the concubine to take the lead."
"You are the queen, you are the master of these things," Feng Jin waved at the music people, and after the music people quietly retreated, he said again, "Concubine Shu is already a concubine, and you can't seal it any more, I Just reward her with some more things, you remember that it is rare to do for her, but it should not be too extravagant, after all, she is just a concubine."
"Yes, the concubine knows." There was a smile on the queen's face. It was obvious that the emperor's actions were in line with her, and she was relieved that even if the emperor favored the harem, she would not be embarrassed.
"By the way," Feng Jin frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, Concubine Zhao's birthday is also this month, but her rank is not high, give her a rank, put a table of wine, and the rest is not ready.”
The queen still smiled and said yes, and the smile on the face of Ganzheng Palace only faded by two points. The emperor's words seemed to not care about Concubine Zhao's birthday, but the meaning in the words was more important than Concubine Shu.
Just raise a rank, set the table wine, and don't prepare anything else
For women in the harem, what is more important than the promotion of points? Concubine Zhao is a small concubine. It would be a blessing to have a table and wine on her birthday, and it would be a great blessing to be promoted.
"Niangniang, the road ahead is slippery, you should be careful." He Yu reminded in a low voice.
The queen looked up at the calm and clean stone road ahead and smiled, "You should be careful."
Now that the emperor is somewhat interested in Concubine Zhao, she should not try to spoil the interest. Concubine Yuan, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Yangui were not more favored than Concubine Zhao, but who has passed her, it is just a generation The new man replaces the old man.
It's just that the emperor actually knew about Concubine Zhao's birthday. It seems that Concubine Zhao deliberately said it in front of the emperor. Such a scheming is really... a little shallow, even if the emperor has listened to it now, what about next year and the year after
But it is a moment of glory for a moment of loneliness.
Did the emperor take the initiative to ask the concubine's birthday and still remember the master of the day
