The so-called "serving ink" is actually nothing more than grinding and pouring tea in the imperial study. Naturally, there is no such thing as adding fragrance to the sleeves. Feng Jin is a reliable emperor. The so-called reliability is that politics and laughter are separated. In his eyes, women can be used for entertainment, and they are considered things, but when dealing with political affairs, women are dispensable in his eyes, at least she has been in the imperial study for so long. , and did not see the emperor give her a lingering look.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Su, the Minister of Officials, asks to see you." Gao Dezhong walked in and announced in a low voice.
Hearing the words, Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Feng Jin and found that he meant to summon this Master Su, so he consciously put down the book in his hand and turned to the inner room behind the screen.
"Let him come in," Feng Jin threw the book aside, glanced at the screen, and his tone was flat.
Sir Su, the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, does not know if there is anything to do with Concubine Shu? Zhuang Luoyan looked at the inner room. The furnishings in it were very regular, neither luxurious nor too delicate. It was too much like an emperor's inner room, but he felt a little boring.
The voice of the conversation outside could be vaguely transmitted to the inner room, and Zhuang Luoyan didn't have the heart to listen to it. It would not be a good thing for her to know more, but when she suddenly heard Zhuang Qingzhi's name, she felt Something is not right, this Shi Lang seems to be complaining, and is this Zhuang Qingzhi her half-brother
"Su Aiqing, is there any evidence for what you've filed?" Feng Jin looked at Su Konglan kneeling below with a calm expression, and slowly closed the memorial in his hand, making it impossible to see which side he believed more.
"Weichen dare not slander Lord Zhuang." Su Konglan just raised his head slightly, saw the calm expression on the emperor's face, and quickly lowered it again, with a lot of fine sweat on his forehead.
"I know, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, you should step down."
"Wei Chen retire."
The outside became quiet again, and Zhuang Luoyan sat quietly in the inner room for most of an hour before the eunuch asked her to continue serving. When she went out, there was still no expression on Feng Jin's face, as if Zhuang Qingzhi mentioned earlier was not her brother, and the one who complained was not Concubine Shu's brother. , she said how the emperor had the intention to come to such a show of beauty, and she chose her who had no interest in poetry, so she was waiting for her here.
It's just that the emperor did this to warn the banker, or did he want to provoke a conflict between the two families of Zhuang and Su? Although Zhuang Luoyan can play some tricks, she is not confident enough to play with her political skills.
When he walked outside, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor with a normal face, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "The emperor..."
"In recent days, a royal chef from Shu has come to the palace. Concubine Ai always loves food, so I'll have dinner with you later." Feng Jin smiled, as if he didn't see the expression on Zhuang Luoyan's face. In embarrassment, he put the fold in his hand aside.
Zhuang Luoyan bowed, "I thank the emperor for the reward."
"Um."
The imperial study fell into silence again.
The air in Shu is humid, so most of the dishes he cooks are spicy. Fortunately, Zhuang Luoyan is someone who has experienced the influence of super spicy hot pot.
Feng Jin looked at the woman who was sitting quietly eating. Zhuang Luoyan's reaction satisfied him. It wasn't particularly smart, but he wouldn't be upset because of the affairs of his mother's family. When he entered the palace, he should naturally belong to the emperor. A woman, a concubine who is only for her parents' family, no matter how beautiful and smart she is, it is impossible for him to get too much favor from him.
Men and women in the world are all selfish. Men always want women to be devoted to him, while women always want men to give their hearts and minds to them. Unfortunately, this world is always unsatisfactory. Feng Jin is an emperor and a special man. He has more things than other men and naturally requires more than other men.
Zhuang Luoyan understands this kind of man's mentality, so she is happy to show the stupid woman's mentality that the emperor is more important than her own family in front of the emperor. She also wants to understand that since Feng Jin let her hear the words of the Su family, at least it shows that he is temporarily There is no intention to move the Zhuang family.
In this line of concubines and concubines, the treatment is actually very good, but it is a little troublesome, and the boss is a little hard to figure out, she can barely bear it.
Feng Jin was satisfied, his mood was naturally good, and he was in a good mood, so Zhuang Luoyan naturally stayed in the emperor's palace that night.
The emperor summoned Zhao to fill the ceremony and served the ink, and gave her a shared imperial meal. The matter of keeping her to sleep at night was spread to the palaces that night, some were jealous, some were indifferent, but such a night, in the harem, it was another time. Ordinary.
The second watch was over, Zhuang Luoyan opened his eyes, and just as he was about to get up, he was held down by a warm palm.
"Where are you going?"
"Your Majesty, it's time for your concubine to go to the side hall." As a concubine, if it wasn't for the grace of the emperor, she could not spend the whole night on the dragon bed after serving in the emperor's bedroom.
"No need, go to sleep." Feng Jin pressed the quilt on Zhuang Luoyan's body, with some sleepiness in his tone, "I have to go to the morning tomorrow, so don't bother."
Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor who didn't even look at me, replied softly, and lay still. In this weather, it was really tossing to lie down together. Holding the quilt in his hand, he twisted the quilt for the emperor and closed his eyes. .
After she closed her eyes, Feng Jin opened them. If Zhuang Luoyan saw it, she would definitely sigh, "This is the complicated look of the legendary male protagonists."
Opening her eyes, the golden auspicious clouds and dragons on the tent made Zhuang Luoyan's mind that was not sober quickly realize that this was the emperor's bedroom. She blinked and turned to look at the person lying beside her. The people around him also quickly opened their eyes, and there was no charming picture of four eyes showing affection, because these eyes were too calm and waveless, so that Zhuang Luoyan could not see much emotion.
"Your Majesty," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction and relief after embracing his beloved man all night.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Feng Jin sat up, and outside the tent there were court ladies and eunuchs who filed in, waiting for him to dress and shoes.
Zhuang Luoyan looked at his back, "At first I thought I would not sleep well, but then I slept well."
"Oh?" Feng Jin took the silk scarf handed by the palace maid and intervened, and turned to look at Zhuang Luoyan, who had already got off the bed, with an ambiguous smile on his face, "That's true."
Shyly bowing his head, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the illuminating floor tiles under his feet, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, he was indeed an emperor, a natural actor and amorous.
I used to watch TV and always felt that the actors who played the emperor were very pitiful, because the dragon robe was put away, but today Zhuang Luoyan really touched the dragon robe, only to find that the workmanship is very delicate and smooth to the touch. It took a lot of processing to make such a dragon robe. It seems that she had a reason not to watch those messy TV series before.
After sending the emperor out, Zhuang Luoyan took the maid beside him to the queen's bedroom.
Greetings as usual, the queen is as usual, and Concubine Shu Gui did not show anything special, but Zhuang Luoyan didn't believe that she would not even know what her family wanted to deal with the Zhuang family, which showed the woman's scheming and forbearance.
After leaving the Queen's Palace, the weather was a little gray, and it seemed that it was going to rain. Zhuang Luoyan frowned. In this season, it is cold and wet when it rains, which is really not a beautiful thing.
"What's wrong with Zhao Chongyi, she frowned early in the morning," Ma Jieyu slowly approached and raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that my sister made the emperor unhappy?"
"Ma Jieyu speculates on these things from time to time," Zhuang Luoyan smiled.
Just when Ma Jieyu thought that Zhuang Luoyan would be exposed again, she didn't know that Zhuang Luoyan suddenly changed her face, and there was no smile on her face, "Who gave you the right to interrogate me like a little Jieyu? The matter between you and the emperor, this harem is handed over to the queen's concubine, and there are really no rules for what to do with you, Jieyu."
Ma Jieyu's face froze, and she felt a little timid in her heart, but thinking about the other palace concubines standing beside her, she couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she forced herself to say: "Is it possible that I got my mind right, and sister Zhaochongyi became angry with shame. already."
"Presumptuous, Ma Jieyu really has no words or deeds. Although I have made up for a high position, I can't help but humiliate you." Zhuang Luoyan said sternly, "Listen to the bamboo, palm mouth!"
"You dare..." Before Ma Jieyu could say anything, Tingzhu's slap had landed heavily on her face. She wanted to curse, but she looked up and saw Zhuang Luoyan's stern eyes.
"Ma Jieyu, today is not the same time, you are too unruly, the servant has offended." Tingzhu slapped her backhand again, blessed Ma Jieyu, and retreated behind Zhuang Luoyan.
Today is different
Ma Jieyu looked at Zhuang Luoyan's cold and stern eyes, and remembered Zhuang Luoyan's attitude towards her when she lost power. The panic in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
"Go back to the palace." Zhuang Luoyan didn't even look at her, she turned around and walked over to the chariot.
"Respectfully send Zhao Chongyi off." The other low-ranking concubines watched the lively scene, and after Zhuang Luoyan left, they all looked at Ma Jieyu mockingly, as if they were watching a joke.
On one side, Zhuang Jieyu's face was very ugly. Zhuang Luoyan's little Jieyu didn't know if she just scolded Ma Jieyu, or did she scold her again
"Empress Empress, just now Zhao Chongyi let someone slap Ma Jieyu's mouth in front of several people." He Yu didn't expect that Zhao Chongyi, who had been keeping a low profile recently, suddenly became domineering again.
"Ma Jieyu has never had any rules, so it's not surprising that Zhao Chongyi punished her," the queen's expression remained unchanged, "not to mention I heard that Shi Lang Su participated in the bookmaker's book yesterday."
"Yesterday wasn't..." He Yu suddenly woke up. Wasn't Zhao Chongyi in front of the royal servant yesterday? It's no wonder that he was in a bad mood today, and Ma Jieyu bumped into this wall.
"Young girls are always a little impatient." The queen looked out the window, "That's all, since Ma Jieyu violated the palace rules, she will be fined for half a year."
"Yes." He Yu bowed his head and stepped back. This Ma Jieyu is not favored now, and the provincial government has neglected her. Now she has been punished by the master for half a year, and the future will only be more difficult. It's just that such a person who doesn't know the current affairs should have ended up like this long ago, but it's because the master is kind, and he just sent her lightly today.
The fact that Zhao Chongyi slapped Ma Jieyu quickly spread throughout the palace, causing the concubines to think a lot.
"It's just to express anger," Concubine Shu Gui smiled indifferently, and threw the bait into the blue-and-white fish tank in front of her, watching the golden fish can't wait to withdraw the bait, and smiled even more tenderly, "The greedy thing, So restless."
In the afternoon, it finally rained, and before night fell, the sky darkened. Gao Dezhong took a group of female eunuchs and lit the candles in the palace. Seeing that the emperor was still reading the book, he stepped aside.
"I heard that Zhao Chongyi punished Ma Jieyu today?" the emperor asked suddenly.
Gao Dezhong was stunned and said: "Back to the emperor, the servant has heard a little."
Feng Jin smiled, but there was no displeasure in his expression, "She is unhappy today, so she gave the wishful auspicious cloud hairpin presented by Hongduguo a few days ago as a reward. Her hair is green and soft, which is perfect."
Gao Dezhong knew in his heart who this "she" was referring to, and softly agreed.
A concubine who knows current affairs like Zhao Chongyi, but is not deep enough in her scheming and has her heart on the emperor, is the most satisfied concubine in the emperor's mind.
However, most of the women in the harem are like this. Zhao Chongyi is always a little more tender. Fortunately, the emperor likes her like this.
Just when Gao Dezhong was about to retire, the emperor before the imperial case spoke again.
"Ma Jieyu's words and deeds are unremarkable, and if she collides with the honor, she will be reduced to a talented person and teach her a lesson."
"Yes." Gao Dezhong looked up at the emperor, and when he saw that he had nothing to do, he quietly retreated.
