Yun Fenghuang was startled, and was about to put down the curtain as if nothing had happened. Unexpectedly, she thought about it, and her wrist tightened. Emperor Chunjia leaned over, held her wrist firmly, opened the curtain further, and faced her. Looking outside - Qi Jiulu happened to get off his horse, glanced back as if unintentionally, and met the emperor's eyes.
The next moment, he quickly bowed and saluted.
Yun Fenghuang noticed that the man's hand was holding the riding crop, and his knuckles were white from the exertion. Apparently, he was not as calm as he appeared on the scene.
The emperor, on the other hand, was very calm and looked around calmly. Then he closed the curtain and looked at Jieyu who was held in his arms with a half-smile but not a smile: "There's nothing good to see outside. Jieyu kept the door open all the way." Curtain, carefully tanned.”
"Your Majesty, please don't scare me. I'm already very bored in the county government office. Let's take a breather on the road." Yun Fenghuang stabilized his mind and said with a sweet smile, "It's been a long journey, Your Majesty. , let’s go down now?”
The emperor looked at her, said "hmm" lightly, got up and went down first.
Ji Muzi saw this and wanted to go out, but two curtain hats came in quickly from outside, the kind with gauze and waist length. It was said that the emperor had people prepare them so that the two concubines would not be exposed to the sun.
Of course, there must be a purpose of shielding outsiders from watching. Although Emperor Chunjia himself said that he didn't care at all whether his concubines other than Yuan Yuniang were loyal to him or coveted by others, he still had to take care of the scene. He didn't care anymore, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the others couldn't bear to see the concubine swaggering in front of a group of foreign men in broad daylight.
The maids inside quickly served their masters to put on their curtain hats. Ji Muzi's position was closer to the exit of the carriage. After putting it on, she wanted to rush out. However, as soon as she took a step, she felt a resistance coming from behind, and she was unprepared. The next step was a stagger, and the whole person jumped out of the curtain and fell towards the shaft of the car!
When someone outside saw this, they suddenly let out a low voice. Two servants not far away reacted quickly and rushed over to cushion her. This prevented the daughter-in-law of the Ji family from falling to the ground.
After Ji Muzi was helped to stand up, she didn't even bother to straighten her curtain and hat. She turned to stare at the carriage and said angrily: "You..."
"How are you?" Yun Fenghuang held Xile's hand and walked out calmly and gracefully. Although her expression was not visible due to the gauze curtains hanging around her hat, it was not difficult to tell that she looked worried. Her concern could be heard in her tone, "I was about to say slow down, but fortunately these two little father-in-laws are alert."
He immediately turned to look at the emperor and said briskly, "Your Majesty, if these two little father-in-laws hadn't supported Sister Ji, Sister Ji would have suffered a lot today. Such loyal servants must not be unrewarded!"
The emperor said "Yes" with a faint smile, and smoothly ordered Yan Yin to turn around and reward the two servants.
The two chamberlains hurriedly came over to express their gratitude, looking very happy. Only then did Yun Fenghuang allow himself to be supported by his left and right hands, and stepped on the chamberlain's backs as gracefully as a willow to get down to the ground. The lotus steps and the skirts of her skirts were fluttering, making her look like a general. The scene where Mu Zi just fell out of the carriage in embarrassment was too tragic to watch.
Seeing Ji Muzi coming with the palace maid, they exchanged greetings and greetings again, as if they were his own sisters. Finally, the emperor noticed that Ji Muzi couldn't help twisting the handkerchief, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed. It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. , interrupted with a dry cough: "The boat is over there, come with me."
Chunti Lake is just a lake in Wannian County, and the water area is not as wide as Taiye Lake.
The boat that was used for the emperor and his party to tour the lake at this time was also old and not new. It looked like it was temporarily used, but it was old and spacious. There are several rooms on the upper and lower floors. It can be seen that there are signs of urgent repairs and decorations, and every appliance is brand new.
After boarding the painting boat, the emperor led his concubines up to the second floor before sitting down. There was a lot of noise and chatter below. Immediately, a group of people from the palace filed in and brought four seasonal drinks, namely lychee ointment water, White mash cold water, plum blossom wine and kumquat snow foam.
Soon, two more people brought up a mountain of Susu and put it on a gold plate. It was also decorated with red and green silk, candied fruits and fruits. The Sushan was snow-white and the candied fruits were colorful.
Yan Yin and his servants came forward to check that everything was correct. The emperor took the lead in holding up a cup of plum blossom wine. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Muzi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have just behaved inappropriately in front of you. Please forgive me."
"It's a little trivial matter." Chunjia said nonchalantly, "It's okay with Ji Bin."
Ji Muzi bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't fall down because I was walking too fast, it was because of Mao Jieyu's plan!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lift up the hem of her skirt that was trailing on the ground when she sat down, and pointed at her. Show it to the emperor.
Today she is wearing a silver-red double-breasted short jacket with wide sleeves, a two-inch-wide vermilion-bottomed belt embroidered with jasmine flowers, and a string of dark green silk ribbons hanging on each side of her waist. The silk ribbons are tied with mutton-fat jade. The peanut jade pendant, which is forbidden to wear, is extraordinarily crystal clear by the light pink crepe pleated skirt.
Light pink is not a stain-resistant color, but the crepe is light and translucent, and a coupling-colored satin petticoat is added inside, so a little dust is not so obvious. But the hem of Ji Muzi's skirt is embroidered with a circle of jasmine flowers. The snow-white petals and the bright green branches and leaves contrast with each other most refreshingly.
At this moment, there was a small footprint printed on a piece of embroidery.
The footprints are so clear that you can see the details of the pattern clearly, which shows how hard you stepped on them.
Ji Muzi said to the emperor with a cold face, "I was planning to follow His Majesty at that time, but who knew that Mao Jieyu stepped on the hem of my skirt from behind, so I fell out of the carriage. If not for the quick reaction of the chamberlain, , I’m afraid... I’m going to lose my life today!”
Emperor Chunjia frowned slightly when he looked at the footprints and asked Yun Fenghuang: "Jieyu, did you really step on this?"
"It seems that I did step on something when I got out of the carriage." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "But to say that I did it on purpose would be because Ji Concubine was overthinking it. According to the rules, I am a concubine, and she It’s my concubine. Your Majesty got off the carriage first, and I was the one who should go out next. So I didn’t expect that she would fight first. No, I also planned to go out immediately, so as not to keep Your Majesty waiting. Who knew she After taking such a step, I stood up and happened to step on the hem of my skirt... Anyway, it was a near miss, and Your Majesty didn't mean to blame me. I don't even know what Ji Concubine wants to bring up?"
Ji Muzi looked at her and said in a cold voice: "Mao Jieyu means that I should be calculated by you because of my physical appearance?!"
"First of all, this happened because you didn't follow the rules." Yun Fenghuang took a sip of the kumquat snow bubble and looked at her with a half-smile. "To put it bluntly, I was just shocked. I didn't fall out at all. Even if If something happens, it's your own fault and you can't blame anyone else. Secondly, as I said before on the carriage, His Majesty took the time to take us out today. Don't care whether you didn't sleep well last night or you were in a bad mood. Jia, what are you doing to bring me to His Majesty?"
"I have already covered you up once in the carriage, but you still refuse to change despite repeated admonitions - what is wrong with you? You are not happy, and you have to make your majesty and I laugh as hard as you, so that you can be happy ?”
"..." Ji Muzi sat motionless, looking at her.
For a moment, Fang turned to the emperor who remained calm, with a hint of sobs in his tone, "Your Majesty?"
Emperor Chunjia smiled good-naturedly and said: "Jieyu has always been quick to talk to others. Ji Bin misses her young age, so don't pay attention."
Such an understatement again! ! !
Ji Muzi was so distraught that she suddenly blurted out: "What if I have to care about you?!"
After saying these words, there was silence all around - the emperor's originally lazy expression turned cold instantly!
If it were an ordinary concubine who behaved like this, Chunjia might not actually care very much. He had always been generous and kind in front of others. He had no regard for concubines other than Yuan Fu Niang, but he almost never scolded her. However, The person who said this was Ji Muzi, the daughter of the Ji family, so the meaning was different.
Everyone must suspect that she relied on her mother's family to force the emperor.
"... Ji Concubine drank too much." The emperor put half of the plum blossom wine left in his hand on the tables in front of him, and without looking at the pale Ji Muzi who came back to his senses, he said calmly, "Come here, send me concubine." Concubine, go back to the county office."
Ji Muzi clenched her fists hard, stood up and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't like to be in love with you, so I have violated my etiquette. I have no intention of contempt for Your Majesty."
She adjusted quickly, and the emperor did not hesitate to give in. There was no emotion of disgust or dissatisfaction on her face, but she said warmly: "I know, I also said it, Mao Jieyu is young and ignorant, and she is inevitably naughty. Ji Bin She has an elegant temperament, which is really not a good match for Jieyu. In this case, I am afraid that today's trip together will not be happy. I promised to go out to Jieyu, so Ji Bin will go back to the Yamen to rest, and I will take you out alone on another day, but good?"
It was as if he had never been angry and didn't mind at all. What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and people couldn't fault it.
But the more this happens, the more people speculate about how much boredom and planning he has in his heart.
"...I retire." Ji Muzi opened her mouth, but in the end couldn't say anything, and left with the palace attendants somewhat staggeringly.
The emperor watched her go downstairs with an indifferent look. Then he took a sip from the wine cup, leaned to Yun Fenghuang's ear, and asked softly: "Jieyu deliberately ran away from Ji Bin, what do you want to do?"
Naturally, I want to talk to Qi Jiulu while you are not paying attention... Yun Fenghuang thought casually, but said: "Of course it is to monopolize Your Majesty today."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then I will stay upstairs with Jieyu and won't go down anymore."
How can that work!
I can't even see the corner of Qi Jiulu's clothes upstairs, how can I cuckold you!
Yun Fenghuang's eyes immediately changed, and he looked at him and reminded: "Your Majesty, where is the fishing you promised?"
The emperor and his concubine wanted to go fishing. Of course, the people below could not just throw two fishing rods and let them go to the deck to try their luck. However, they stopped in a water area specially, opened umbrellas, set up ice viewing tables and chairs, and arranged people around the ship. He dropped a lot of fragrant bait, attracting many fish and shrimps to gather together. He was so ready that he held up two fishing rods inlaid with gold and jade and asked them to move to the deck.
The companions and attendants who had followed the emperor in but stopped on the first floor of the boat were drinking and mingling among the sounds of silk and bamboo. When they heard about this, Ji Minggan, who was the best, also became interested and saw the emperor bringing Yun, who was wearing a curtain hat. When Feng Huang came down, he came up to him and asked if he could take one with him.
Hearing this, Yuan Ke, not to be outdone, also came up to express his desire to participate.
The emperor smiled and said: "This is Jieyu's idea. I can't make the decision. You have to ask Jieyu."
Neither of them had a good impression of Yun Fenghuang, especially Ji Minggan. His cousin had just been taken away from upstairs, and he was downstairs. Even if he didn't know the whole story, how could he not doubt Yun Fenghuang? Feng Huang is causing trouble
At this moment, his interest faded after hearing this, and he was about to say forget it, but who knew that Yun Fenghuang was the first to say: "No! Your Majesty promised to accompany me exclusively, what's the point of these two getting involved? I won’t take them with me!”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Chunjia's sleeve, urging him to get on the deck quickly and stop talking to these people!
How unreasonable... The two uncles became angry immediately: They didn't even care about the trouble Xiao Yun caused for their sisters in the palace, and now they dare to humiliate them in front of others? !
Why! ! !
Due to the fact that they were in front of the emperor, especially the emperor who had already taken charge of the government, they were repeatedly told by their family not to make any mistakes, but they could not swallow this breath - so they watched the emperor and the concubine go to the deck. In unison, the two of them summoned people one after another. Come to me and whisper...
