Flowers fell all over the ground, and the sunset glowed all over the place. Gao Dezhong lowered his head silently, watching the setting sun stretch the emperor's shadow longer and longer, and the light dimmed a little bit, making it seem a bit desolate.
"Your Majesty...it's getting dark," Gao Dezhong stepped forward and reminded softly.
Feng Jin turned his head and glanced at him, and when he saw that he was bowing his head, he couldn't help but say, "I remember that Concubine Wei favored the harem back then. Although I am the son-in-law, in the palace, I want to give two cents to the second imperial brother born to Concubine Wei. ."
Hearing this, Gao Dezhong buried his head even lower. He served the emperor very early, and he also knew some secrets in the harem. He also saw how Wei Guifei was so favored back then, but it's a pity...
Feng Jin tilted his head to look at Nawaku Lotus Pond. Back then, he was pushed into this pool by the second emperor's brother and suffered a serious illness. The second emperor's brother was only punished for copying the scriptures ten times. It's a pity that Concubine Wei only covets power, and in the end, she only fell three feet of white silk, and her second emperor brother was rejected.
When the father was dying, he once said that the women in the harem had no sincerity, but he thought it was ridiculous. He once thought that his mother was sincere to his father, but after his father's death, his mother became the most honorable queen dowager in the harem, and he was not at all sad about his father's departure.
He never thought of getting sincerity in the women of the harem, nor did he feel that sincerity was such a precious thing. There were countless beauties in the harem, and it was just that whoever served them well would love them a little bit.
Hearing this kind of words today, he was a little surprised, and somewhat inexplicable.
When he was young, his mother told him indifferently that the women in the harem competed for favor and fighting skills, not for the love of the emperor, but for the power under the favor. Only a foolish woman would have affection for the emperor, and such a foolish woman would not survive in the harem.
He couldn't remember what Concubine Zhao looked like when she first entered the palace, but he didn't want to be a stupid woman in the harem.
"Tonight at the Taoyu Pavilion." After breaking down a pear flower, Feng Jin opened his mouth lightly, playing with the pear flower in his hand, letting the pear petals on the flower branch fall.
"Master Zhao concubine, the emperor has spoken, and tonight Taoyu Pavilion will hold the lamp." After the eunuch came to Taoyu Pavilion, he looked at Zhuang Luoyan's orderly luggage with a smile on his face.
"Eunuch Lao is here," Yun Xi put a purse into the hands of the eunuch in the inner room, and said some auspicious words.
The eunuch also noticed that the emperor had a bit of doting on the newly promoted Concubine Zhao, and after saying a few pleasant words, he retired and left the Taoyu Pavilion. Fang felt that the sunset in the west had gradually dimmed, and looked back at the Taoyu Pavilion. The plaque, who would have thought that this master could turn over
"Master," Tingzhu stepped forward with the tea cup, and saw Zhuang Luoyan sitting in front of the mirror, putting the tea aside, and said, "It's not early, the servants will wait for you to bathe and change."
Zhuang Luoyan picked up the fine hair on his forehead and looked at this delicate face, "Go get ready."
Tingzhu glanced at Zhuang Luoyan worriedly, and seeing that his face was calm, he silently retreated and instructed the people below to prepare.
Bright and bright like the moon covered by the light clouds, fluttering like the flowing snow of the returning wind.
After Feng Jinyu stopped in front of Taoyu Pavilion, what he saw was such a beauty.
Beneath the lantern, the beauty in the pale moonlight skirt and blue silk shawl stood like a weak willow in the wind. The lantern in her hand swayed slightly in the cold wind. Feng Jin recalled this poem at this glance.
The evening wind picked up, the sleeves and skirts fluttered, and the blue silk also lingered in the night, Feng Jin got out of the car and took Zhuang Luoro's hand, "Junmei Xiuyan looks forward to God's flying, and the essence of Wencai forgets vulgarity. , but it's not enough to describe Concubine Ai."
Hearing this, Zhuang Luoyan lowered his head slightly and hooked his lips into a smile, but a pale red glow flew on his cheeks, "Is the emperor's words sincere or a joke?"
"Naturally it's my sincere words," Feng Jin took the lantern from Zhuang Luoyan's hand, and didn't let the palace attendants take it away, holding Zhuang Luoyan in one hand and the lantern in the other, slowly walking towards the door. The softness of the palm is very comfortable, and when I remembered the words that the people around me said in the afternoon, the words were a little gentle, "It's cold at night, how can Aifei go outside?"
"The emperor is the husband of the concubine, the concubine doesn't want the emperor to see only a few red lanterns that can't speak when he arrives at Taoyu Pavilion," said this, Zhuang Luoyan's voice gradually became quieter, "The concubine also wants to wait for the emperor. come back."
Gao Dezhong, who was following behind the two, gradually slowed down when he heard these words. Concubine Zhao's words violated the rules. According to the position, Concubine Zhao was just a concubine. How could the word "return" be used, but the emperor did not In response, he was deaf as a slave.
After deliberately slowing down, Gao Dezhong raised his head to look at the pair of figures in front of him, and saw that the emperor supported Zhao Concubine across the threshold, and Zhao Concubine smiled at the emperor.
If the concubine Yangui smiled and swept the city and the country, Concubine Zhao's smile was infinite sincerity. Gao Dezhong remembered those words that he should not have heard, and suddenly felt a little pitiful for this concubine Zhao.
In the harem, what could be more pitiful than moving your heart
Following to the door of the inner room, Gao Dezhong stopped, closed the door for the two of them, took a few steps back, stood on the stone steps, and looked at the red lanterns hanging high in the corridor. Although the lanterns are hanging in the pavilion today, why not? Know where the red candle is lit in the future
Zhuang Luoyan sat down on the bed following the emperor's footsteps. Seeing the emperor's calm expression, she obviously didn't mind her attitude of treating him as an ordinary husband. , I will definitely be able to write a best-selling book "The Seventy-Two of the Heart", but unfortunately, those who cross this profession are basically one-way tickets, and few of them wear it back. people at work.
"Why, I just said I'm waiting for Zhan's return, but now I don't speak anymore?" Seeing Zhuang Luoyan's silence, Feng Jin said warmly, "I'm here now, but I don't want you to keep silent."
"How can the emperor know what the concubine thinks?" Zhuang Luoyan grabbed Feng Jin's sleeve slightly excitedly, "The emperor is able to come, the concubine is very happy, but she just spoke without restraint, and she felt uneasy."
Feng Jin paused when he heard the words, and then smiled: "I am your husband, what's wrong with you waiting for me to return?"
The hand holding the robe trembled, and the trembling seemed to enter Feng Jin's heart, and his heart seemed to be beating a little more in an instant. top.
If there is no emotion, there will be ignorance, and if there is ignorance, there will be no pain. This is just a foolish woman who is tempted but wants to deceive herself. If you give her two points of favor, it will be considered that she is completely sincere.
Perhaps it was because he knew the feelings of the person in his arms towards him, or maybe the person in his arms was soft and ecstatic, Feng Jin was very happy that night, the woman in his arms had already fallen asleep, but his hands were unconsciously clinging to his chest.
According to the rules, even if the concubine received his favor and could spend the whole night with him afterward, she should have fallen asleep properly, but this concubine Zhao was really unruly.
But... Feng Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, but no one else has seen these rules, and he doesn't care much about these little rules. Fortunately, other women in the harem are not like this, so let her be.
Who said that the emperor was made of an iron pestle into an embroidery needle? Zhuang Luoyan felt that the emperor had a lot of energy. When she woke up in the morning, she saw that Emperor Xuan had already put on his robes and squinted at the man. Fortunately, the emperor was outside. The conditions are good, otherwise it would really spoil the mood.
When Feng Jin turned back to look at the bed, he saw Zhuang Luoyan looking at him madly, so he walked to the bed and sat down, "Is Concubine Ai awake?"
"Your Majesty," Zhuang Luoyan pretended to be struggling to get up, and then fell back weakly and weakly, Feng Jin stopped her from getting up as she expected, "Concubine Ai was tired last night, so you don't have to get up to serve." After a few more words, he got up and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, the long robe was pulled by the white and tender soft weed. He looked back and saw Zhao Concubine staring at him, and couldn't help asking: "Concubine Ai is not feeling well."
Then he saw Concubine Zhao pull out a small sachet from the pillow and put it in his hand, "The emperor has given so many things to the concubine, and everything belongs to the emperor. Only this lucky bag was asked for in the temple before entering the palace. The host said that this blessing will keep the Lord safe and lucky, and the concubine will give this to the emperor."
The sachet is embroidered with the word blessing. Although the fabric is good, it looks a little ordinary when compared with the palace satin. It is small but very delicate. Feng Jin put the blessing bag into his sleeve, "I know what Concubine Ai's mind is, and I will go to the court. , you will rest for a while."
After leaving the Taoyu Pavilion, Feng Jin sat in the imperial chariot, took out the blessing bag in his sleeve and looked at it for a while, then put it back into his sleeve again, without tying it around his waist.
Zhuang Luoyan was lying in the bathtub, the maid pressed her waist and shoulders, put on a clean dress, and took Tingzhu and Yunxi to the Queen's Jingyang Palace to greet her.
The queen is the direct daughter of the Zhao family. Naturally, being the queen is not due to the emperor's love, but the power of the Zhao family. Fortunately, although the Zhao family is powerful, they are not arrogant, so the emperor has neither favored her nor neglected her over the years. And the queen took care of the harem very well.
However, Zhuang Luoyan felt that no matter how the Zhao family behaved, the kings liked the concentration of power, so Emperor Chengxuan probably still had plans for the Zhao family, but sooner or later.
After the eunuch reported, Zhuang Luoyan entered the main hall. At this time, there were several concubines sitting in it. She honestly stepped forward to greet the queen, and the queen did not embarrass her, and gave her a seat after the ceremony.
"Sister Zhaoconcubine is a little late today," Concubine Rou's voice was still wonderful.
"The concubine is guilty, please punish the empress," Zhuang Luoyan got up, but just asked the empress for the crime.
Concubine Rou's complexion changed slightly, seeing that there was no anger on the Queen's face, she squinted at Zhuang Luoyan.
The queen smiled dignifiedly and said, "Concubine Zhao doesn't have to do this. It's a courtesy for you to serve the emperor hard and come to greet this palace."
Concubine Yangui looked at this scene with a smile, and sneered in her heart. How could Concubine Rou speak in front of the Queen, Concubine Zhao's face was really hard.
"The Empress is merciful and doesn't blame the concubine, the concubine is ashamed," Zhuang Luoyan gave Concubine Rou a blessing again, "The concubine also thanked Concubine Rou for the palace satin, the Qianzhong Wei on the satin. Purple is really embroidered to life."
Qianzhong Weizi is a famous flower among flowers, and the owner is honorable. Generally, concubines and concubines are not allowed to use it. Unless the emperor and the queen reward it, the concubine Rou will send Zhuangluo Qianzhong Weizi patterned palace satin.
When Concubine Rou heard Zhuang Luoyan say this, she knew that what she had done before was not right, and she was afraid that it would arouse the empress' dissatisfaction.
"The emperor gave Concubine Rou a palace satin. Concubine Rou is generous and generous. Since it's a gift to you, just keep it well," the queen smiled and glanced at Concubine Rou, "Everyone is a sister who serves the emperor, and you can also use it."
Concubine Rou's complexion changed, she stood up and bowed her knees and said, "I am disrespectful to the concubine, please punish the queen."
"Everyone's sisters are deeply in love, so why not be rude, Concubine Rou, you are too careful," the Queen smiled and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Hurry up and sit down."
Concubine Rou sat down with a pale face, but did not dare to say more.
Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyelids and looked at the ground where the light could be seen. The queen was so sophisticated that she didn't say blaming, but she was actually telling Concubine Rou that even if she was favored again, in front of the empress, she would be with a concubine of her own rank. There is no difference, because she is the queen of the palace, and others will never be able to surpass her.
A good soft knife, it can't kill people, but it makes life worse than death.
Glancing at the pale concubine Rou, and then at the other concubines with the same smile, Zhuang Luoyan retracted her gaze, the women in the harem really were all hidden.
