In Kunning Palace.
Not long after Jiang Zhen woke up, she sat up lazily, and when she heard the sound, Jiang Zhen's dowry girl gently lifted the gauze and asked in a low voice, "Is the lady awake?"
Jiang Zhen nodded, lifted the quilt out of bed, frowned and said lightly: "Auntie, how many times has this palace said that it's cold at night, it's enough to have Guizhi and the others to watch the night, how do you—"
"The lady's kindness, the servant understands in her heart, but the servant is used to it and can't bear it." Aunt Jiang smiled while hanging the gauze.
While they were talking, the two maids, Gui Zhi and Gui Xun, came in from the outside with a gold-copper basin. When they saw Jiang Zhen get up, they immediately stepped forward to help her wash and change her clothes.
After more than half an hour, she finally finished packing, and the breakfast in the side hall was ready. Jiang Zhen slowly walked over with the Buddha bead in one hand. Just after sitting down for a few breaths, Gui Xun hurried in and said blessedly, "Niangniang, Just now Eunuch Su came to inform you to pick up the car, saying that the emperor is coming to have breakfast after coming to court."
Eunuch Su was the adopted son of Zhang Dezi, the emperor's personal eunuch, and his name was Su Hai. In this way, this matter must be true.
"Why is it so sudden?" Jiang Zhen put down the porridge bowl she just picked up, and asked with a frown while wiping the corner of her mouth with a silk handker, "Isn't it because the emperor is busy with government affairs, he won't set foot in the harem for half a month?"
"My servant doesn't know, but..." Gui Xun shook her head, took two steps forward and lowered her voice, "But Eunuch Su reminded the servant when he left, 'The emperor is in a bad mood'."
Aunt Jiang on the side frowned immediately. Her family has been a loyal servant of the Jiang family for generations. She is also responsible for the communication between Jiang Zhen and the Jiang family. Jiang Zhen will discuss anything with her, so she already knew Jiang Zhen. Zhen's suspicion of the emperor.
She waved her hand and backed away, leaning over and guessing: "Niangniang, there must be something strange about this matter, and the slaves guess that this dog emperor must be asking for something."
Jiang Zhen also nodded in agreement, then glanced sideways at her, and instructed: "Auntie, the royal place has ears, don't talk nonsense, the Jiang family is tied to this palace, you can't take a wrong step, and don't talk about it later. That word."
Aunt Jiang knew that the empress was doing it for her own good. She was in a hurry just now, afraid that her empress still had affection for the emperor. After all, the emperor has been very kind to the empress since she entered the palace for a year. A fifteen-year-old young girl still has a lot of expectations for love.
Seeing that there was no sign of embarrassment on her face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but her face was solemn and her eyes were lowered, and she said solemnly, "Slave, remember the teachings of the mother."
Jiang Zhen nodded, got up and flicked her sleeve, took a step and paused again, glanced at the untouched meal on the table, her eyes flashed, and smiled: "Aunt, let me put the meal first. Take it down, send it back later, and add a crystal shrimp dumpling and lotus seed soup that the emperor likes."
"Yes, Niangniang." Aunt Jiang laughed along, that is, it's not worth wasting a table of meals for a ruthless and unjust emperor, so what about letting him eat the leftovers, and her master hasn't used it yet.
After rearranging her makeup, Jiang Zhen took Kunning Palace up and down to greet him at the gate of the palace. After a cup of tea, Xie Fei sat on the chariot in a bright yellow dragon robe, and was surrounded by a group of eunuchs to the gate of the palace.
"The concubine welcomes the emperor's holy car, the emperor is safe." Jiang Zhenfu said, and the palace maid and eunuch behind him knelt on the ground.
Xie Fei lifted his robe, stepped out of the sedan chair, walked to Jiang Zhen with his hands behind his back, and looked at her carefully with his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
This was the first time he had seen Jiang Zhen, but the sense of familiarity was not unfamiliar at all. Although the woman in front of him lowered her head, her etiquette was very dignified and decent, and her temperament was even more graceful and luxurious. People are pleasing to the eyes, worthy of being the queen of a country.
The corner of Xie Fei's mouth twitched, and he leaned over and lowered his head to look closer. Xu didn't expect him to do this. Jiang Zhen was startled, and his body was unstable. Seeing that she was about to fall down, Xie Fei stretched out her long arm, pulled her hand and pulled him tightly into his arms.
Jiang Zhen subconsciously grasped the clothes on Xie Fei's side and leaned against his chest. Her high-hanging heart finally calmed down a bit. A pair of phoenix eyes kept blinking on her pale little face. make a sound.
Xie Fei looked at someone who was stunned in his arms, raised his brows slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "I have never seen the queen look so rude, but she is very cute."
The warm breath was blowing on the top of her head, Jiang Zhen suddenly came back to her senses, her face flushed, she quickly let go of her hand and took two steps back, squatting down and begging: "I have lost my honor, please forgive me."
"It's okay, my heart is full of joy." He leaned over to support Jiang Zhen, and after rubbing her tender little hands twice, he led her into the hall.
After the two sat down face to face, Aunt Jiang took the maids to set the meal neatly, Gui Zhi and Gui Xun carried a small copper basin for them to clean their hands, Jiang Zhen slandered while washing her hands, I don't know what happened to the emperor , holding her hand so tightly just now, the more she wants to squeeze it, the tighter it becomes. It seems that he has a lot of plans today, so he must be careful to deal with it.
Thinking of this, she became more cautious.
The meal was already set, Xie Fei glanced at it slightly, and smiled: "As expected, the Queen is still very much in my heart. This crystal shrimp dumpling makes people's appetite open."
"The emperor likes it." Jiang Zhen smiled warmly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She turned her head and instructed, "Guizhi, prepare vegetables for the emperor."
"Yes, Niangniang." Gui Zhi took two steps forward and blessed her body, picking up the chopsticks from the table to pick up the shrimp dumplings.
"No need." Unexpectedly, Xie Fei waved his hand, his peach blossom eyes raised slightly, looked at Jiang Zhen with a smile but not a smile, and said slowly, "How can the queen fake my meal for others, come over and give it to me soon. vegetable?"
Jiang Zhen was stunned, and secretly thought to himself that the emperor was here to find fault today, did he inadvertently offend his sweetheart
Thinking like this, she had already walked up with a smile, took the chopsticks from Guizhi's hand, and took a piece of crystal shrimp dumplings and handed it to the plate in front of him, but she didn't want to, Xie Fei leaned forward slightly, He put the shrimp dumplings into his mouth with one thin lip, his teeth were grinding with chopsticks, and a pair of smiling eyes looked at her slyly, as if teasing her.
Jiang Zhen's eyes sank, she pursed her lips hard, pulled out the chopsticks, and said lightly: "The emperor seems really hungry, you eat more."
As she said that, she quickly kept adding vegetables to the bowl in front of him, and didn't stop until the base was full, and then picked up the small bowl and began to fill the lotus seed soup.
Xie Fei propped her chin with one hand, squinted at her every move, and said lazily: "Yes, who is the queen, who is so beautiful and delicious, that makes me appetite."
Jiang Zhen paused, lowered her eyes full of irony, and immediately scooped up the full lotus seed soup. When she looked up again, her face was as usual, and she said with a calm smile: "I don't know that I have such beauty, so, The emperor has to finish eating."
Can't hold you to death!
"Of course." Xie Fei's eyes moved slightly, raised his eyebrows to look at Jiang Zhen with a light smile, and said with a loud laugh, "If the queen feeds me by herself, there will be no trace of it."
The corner of Jiang Zhen's mouth twitched, Xie Fei stared at her and said slowly, "Why, is the Queen unwilling?"
With that look as if to see through herself, Jiang Zhen's heart tightened, and she immediately raised the bowl with a smirk: "How could it be, I am deeply honored to be able to serve the emperor."
Xie Fei opened his mouth to eat the food that Jiang Zhen fed by spoonfuls and chopsticks. He was obviously unwilling to serve him, but he still fed him with a smile. Seeing her contradictory appearance, she was dumb, but she was very cute. The dark eyes could not help but float a little joy, and the doting feeling on his face was beyond words.
Soon the bottom of the bowls and dishes came to an end, Xie Fei took the mouthwash brought by the maid next to him and rinsed his mouth, got up and pulled Jiang Zhen to her seat, pressed her shoulders and made her sit down, holding it in her daze. He picked up her wrist and scooped a spoonful of shredded chicken porridge, put it to her mouth, and smiled faintly: "It's not indecent to come and go, since the queen is serving me for dinner, then I will serve the queen now."
Jiang Zhen frowned with delicate brows, bit her lip and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, this concubine is frightened, this is not in line with the rules."
Saying that she was about to get up and apologize, Xie Fei glanced at her cold eyes and said calmly, "In Daqi, my words are the rules."
Jiang Zhen looked at the spoon that was handed forward again, helplessly tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled, her red lips slightly opened, and she began to eat a little bit.
This meal was the most uneasy time Jiang Zhen had ever eaten. She didn't know why the emperor suddenly became so enthusiastic about her. His eyes and expressions were like treating treasures that he cherished. Even after the meal, he used his fingers gently. The belly wiped away the stains from the corners of her mouth.
In fact, she is not used to it at all. Even in the time when the two loved each other, they were never so close. As the saying goes, no matter what you are doing, you can be diligent. What happened in the past
While she was thinking about it, Xie Fei had already cleaned up her hands. Seeing Jiang Zhen's contemplative face, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curved into a happy arc, and he stepped forward and took her hand and squeezed: "When It's getting late, I'll leave first, and I'll see you later in the evening."
Jiang Zhen's hands trembled back to her senses, and she was amazed at the fact that he didn't mention anything else. Hearing the second half of the sentence, he thought that he might want to wait until the evening to talk about it. His mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't reveal the slightest on his face. He only smiled and said. : "Yes, congratulations to the emperor."
As soon as he left the palace gate, Jiang Zhen immediately turned around and returned to the palace, screened back, leaving only Aunt Jiang, and immediately asked her to send someone to Qianchao to inquire about the news.
Not long after Aunt Jiang left, the concubines in the harem came to Kunning Palace to greet them one after another. The emperor came to the queen for the first time in the harem in more than ten days.
Guizhi was serving the Queen's grooming, and said displeasedly, "Niangniang, I don't know how much you will be framed for having breakfast today. Concubine Gao Guifei must hate you very much, but it is obviously the little boy from Xilan Hall who has benefited. Hoofs."
"Okay, it's not a day or two, it's just a habit, one day she will know, it's just a matter of time." Jiang Zhen said lightly, her mind had already followed Aunt Jiang, and after a moment of indulgence, she whispered in a low voice He murmured, "The soldiers will block, the water will cover, no matter what your purpose, Qi Xuan, I will stand still."
