Recently, the emperor prefers to come to Xihe Palace, but he does not roll the sheets every night. Zhuang Luoyan found that Emperor Chengxuan is a very self-controlled emperor.

When the emperor didn't go to bed, he would tell her some trivial matters that did not involve court affairs, and sometimes even discussed various monsters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Zhuang Luoyan thought, the big thing was that the emperor found out that talking to her about poetry and songs was playing the qin to a cow, and talking about strange things aroused her curiosity, "In the mountain of Zhongqu, there are beasts, whose shape is like a horse with a white body and a black tail, A horn. Tiger teeth and claws, the sound is like the sound of a drum, its name is refutation, eats tigers and leopards, and can fight troops."

"It's very rare to grow up like this," Zhuang Luoyan couldn't help but said after listening to this passage, "Looks like a horse, but has tiger-like claws. With such a body structure, you shouldn't be able to run fast, right? Eat the fast leopard?"

"So this is just a legend," Feng Jin said with a smile as he listened to the disgust of Zhuang Luoyan's words; "If there is such a strange thing in the world, I am afraid that any emperor will fight to raise it, and who can resist the war-proof beast. like?"

"If you say this, Your Majesty, if you see which country is dissatisfied, you don't have to do anything else. Throwing a fat waste that can only suffer from drought or a long right that can suffer from floods will save a lot of trouble." Zhuang Luo Yan yawned, "Coaxing the child."

People in the world have a lot of reverence for gods and monsters. As an emperor, Feng Jin actually doesn’t like that people have too much reverence for gods and monsters. Unfortunately, this kind of reverence has long been imprinted in the bones of the people. Such a straightforward disdain for the legendary beast, suddenly there is an indescribable emotion.

Sometimes how much knowledge a person has has nothing to do with how many poems and books he has in his belly, and the ministers that Feng Jin can use are not necessarily the top candidates, but they are extremely capable. "So it's just a fairy tale," Feng Jin laughed out loud, caressing Zhuang Luoyan's hair for a while, and sighed softly, "If only governing the world were so easy, it's getting late, go to bed. ."

Hearing the emperor's sigh, Zhuang Luoyan felt a little emotional. Sure enough, all ambitious emperors never believed in myths, but they were not soft at all when using gods and monsters.

When he woke up in the morning, Feng Jin looked at the woman snuggling in his arms, and lay down for a while before letting the palace attendant waiting outside the curtain come in to serve him. After I was dressed, I looked back at the bed, and someone on the bed looked like he was about to open his eyes in a daze, and he unconsciously stretched out a hand to the place where he was sleeping. Then he slowly woke up and opened his misty eyes.

"Your Majesty is awake?" She didn't seem to have thought that she would fall asleep so deeply, Zhuang Luoyan sat up in embarrassment and pulled the hair on her chest, "Concubine fell asleep."

"I don't blame you, I chatted with you for a long time last night," Feng Jin raised his head and asked the maid to adjust the collar of his robe, "Take a good rest, going to the fields tomorrow will be very tiring. The people in Qin Tianjian said that tomorrow will be a different day. sunny weather."

Zhuang Luoyan got out of bed, asked the maid to step aside, and arranged accessories and clothes for the emperor herself. She squatted half-squatting and hung an inconspicuous sachet around her waist for the emperor, looking up at the emperor; "Your Majesty, This sachet is suitable for you to carry."

Feng Jin looked down and saw that it was a dark sachet, with dark red as the bottom, embroidered with a golden thread of a soaring golden dragon, with the dark red group blessing as the dark pattern, which really set off the majestic dragon robe.

Reaching out his hand to lift Zhuang Luoyan's chin, Feng Jin suddenly bent down and touched her, smiled and said, "The sachet embroidered by Concubine Ai for me is perfect, I like it very much." After speaking, he turned and walked out of Xi and Palace.

"Congratulations to see the emperor," Zhuang Luoyan watched the emperor's back disappear behind the door, slowly stood up, stroked the corner of his lips, lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Come here, bathe and change for this palace."

Yun Xi carefully helped Zhuang Luoyan out of the tub, put on brocade clothes for Zhuang Luoyan, and carefully pressed the blue silk with sesame oil. Seeing Zhuang Luoyan's absent-minded appearance, she couldn't help but said, "Niangniang, tomorrow's harem. There is a noble person in the company, and the servant thinks that this noble person is really not simple."

Zhuang Luoyan closed his eyes and said, "How can there be simple people in the harem? What is a noble person? The most terrifying thing in this harem is a woman who is not deceased."

Hearing what the master said, Yun Xi immediately thought of Concubine Shu Gui from Anqing Palace, and couldn't help but feel awe, no one in the harem could surpass Concubine Shu Gui. Although Qian Gui's appearance is a beautiful crown harem, but the others are much worse than Shu Gui's concubine. In the harem, the Israeli servants can only be seen for a while.

After the Grain Rain, it is a good time to plant rice. Zhuang Luoyan sat upright in the carriage, stroked his hair wrapped in a towel, and twisted his body in discomfort.

The luxurious days have passed for too long, I am used to wearing silk and satin, and suddenly changed into coarse linen clothes, I really feel uncomfortable, and I always feel itchy. Arriving at the fields on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhuang Luoyan helped the palace maid's hand to get out of the car, and when he looked around, he saw that outside the hands of the heavy officers and soldiers, there were crowded with people watching the fun, but there were people hanging on the taller trees. , Some high soil slopes are also crowded with densely packed people.

Sure enough, it is human nature to join in the fun throughout the ages. Zhuang Luoyan strode generously behind the queen, and happened to see Mrs. Qian constantly scratching her arms, as if she was very uncomfortable with the coarse clothes on her body.

There are always some people in this world who eat what the common people grow, but feel that they are pure and innocent and look down on those who work in the fields, but unfortunately they don’t know that they are no different from all the people in the world. Pack waste.

Originally, Zhuang Luoyan felt that although the noble person Qian was high and clean, at least she was not a woman who prided herself on being high but looked down on the common people. Now she understands that she thinks highly of her.

"If Lady Qian is unwell, you don't have to come out." The Queen looked at Lady Qian's behavior with a sullen face. Now everyone standing here, every word and deed represent the image of the royal family. ? Is it to let the emperor know that her skin can be broken, or to let the people present feel that the members of the royal family are wealthy and idle people who can't bear hardships and only know how to enjoy

When Mrs. Qian heard the Queen's words, her complexion suddenly changed, and she had to lie down and ask, with her white and tender neck exposed to the sun, she looked a little pitiful. "Today, the emperor and this palace brought you here not for your enjoyment. Since you already knew your mistake, you accepted this weak and unpretentious appearance." If it goes too far, the queen will not reprimand it easily, but on today's occasion, as the head of the first palace, she can't be completely wrong.

The emperor who stood in front of the queen did not speak from beginning to end, and did not look at the noble lady Qian. After the queen reprimanded, the emperor took the queen's hand, and the two went to the altar together, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, sacrifice to wind and rain, and begged God. Bless the whole Kyushu with good weather and good weather.

Zhuang Luoyan and several other concubines knelt behind the Empress. They were not qualified to go to the altar, so they could only lead them to kneel behind, and the people all over the mountains and plains also knelt down at this time and prayed devoutly to heaven.

After the sacrifice, the emperor went down to the field with his trouser legs on his back, took a bundle of seedlings, and planted the seedlings along the thread that had been pulled earlier.

The water in April was still a little chilly. After Zhuang Luoyan went down to the paddy field with the queen, she shivered for a while, and then she rolled up her sleeves and planted the seedlings earnestly.

Zhuang Luoyan's movements are not skilled, but they are still decent. When she slowly inserted her hand, she suddenly heard a cry, and she was so frightened that she looked back, and she saw Mrs. Qian who was frightened. Huarong looked pale, and she kept retreating to the shore. Who knew that she stumbled and fell into the field, and the originally beautiful beauty suddenly turned into a clay figurine. Seeing this, the two powerful eunuchs hurried forward to help Qian Guiren on the ridge, so as not to let the common people see this shameful scene.

"What's going on?" Feng Jin frowned, a hint of impatience added to his tone.

"Returning to the emperor, it was the noble lady Qian who bit a leech on her leg," a eunuch quickly stepped forward and replied, "There is already an imperial doctor who has taken care of noble lady Qian."

"Since Mrs. Qian is unwell, help her into the carriage," Feng Jin shook the water in his hand, "The sun is shining today, so let her not come out."

What a cruel and bloody thing to let a delicate woman bite a leech on her leg. Zhuang Luoyan felt a little sympathetic to the noble person Qian. Just when he was in the field, he encountered such a good thing.

After the seedlings were planted, the emperor, empress, concubines and concubines went to the ridge together. Zhuang Luoyan saw a disgusting leech hanging on the emperor's calf with sharp eyes. Just before everyone had time to get nervous, the emperor's eyes Without blinking, he patted his legs, and then used a dagger to scrape off the rounded leeches.

Zhuang Luoyan's scalp was a little numb, this emperor is indeed a ruthless man, not only ruthless to others, but also to himself. The eunuchs quickly brought small stools and clean water. At this moment, the masters did not want anyone to serve them. They all washed the muddy water on their legs hastily in the copper basin, and then went with the emperor to visit the common people's seedling fields.

Because of the good rain and abundant sunshine, the seedlings grow very well. The farmers bundle the seedlings and pick them into the well-fertilized paddy fields. They are much more skilled than them.

Looking at the neat rows of seedlings, Feng Jin said with some emotion, "I hope this year's harvest will be better than last year."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, the world is under your governance, the weather is good, and the lives of the people are getting better and better," the queen heard, "the people of the world love you too."

"But please be honest," Feng Jin didn't react much to the Queen's compliment, she just said this lightly, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhuang Luoyan on tiptoe wanting to pass him and the Queen to see the peasants planting rice, the corners of his mouth curved slightly and retracted. Looking at the queen, she said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace."

Until the emperor got on the imperial chariot back to the palace, no one mentioned a noble person, as if this person had never appeared from the beginning to the end.

Lady Qian's carriage was behind Zhuang Luoyan's frame. When Zhuang Luoyan got on the carriage, she looked back at Lady Qian's carriage. There was a faint sound of sobbing inside. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and then got on the carriage as usual. "This noble lady Qian is really lucky, and she encountered such a disgusting thing just after she left the field," Yun Xi knelt in front of Zhuang Luoyan and carefully wiped her calf for Zhuang Luoyan.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled. She originally thought it was hypocritical for Mrs. Qian to scratch when she got off the carriage, but now she understands that no matter how ignorant Mrs. Qian was, she would not do such inappropriate things on such occasions, unless Really itchy.

Even if Mrs. Qian could bear the itch, the leech incident that followed was enough to make her unbearable. This was someone who did something on Mrs. Qian.

If this matter broke out, I'm afraid there will be another small farce in the harem.
