Previous: Ancient Novel (30): Beauty and wisdom, the emperor repeatedly hit a wall
He asked a question, obviously Xue Jingsheng was so affectionate to her, why she still thought about him day and night, he was the only one in his heart, Su Jin muttered, the tail note was very high, as if looking at him incomprehensibly, before he could answer, he had sunk his face, looking at her eyes inexplicably more cold.
Su Jin didn't think so, seeing that his face was not good and did not bother to take care of it, he took the initiative to leave when other women came to ask for a meeting, leaving the seat for those who needed him more, and the look of no nostalgia made him sad for a while.
Because he said that the people of the Northern Desert had named her to race with her again, the time that had been safe and leisure was suddenly disrupted, which made her feel a little helpless, but she could not complain.
When it came to friendly exchanges between the two countries, she couldn't refuse, let alone find someone to stop him from hiding as before.
The palace has specially opened a field for her to practice horses, sometimes she is tired of training, and she will suddenly remember the scenes when Xue Jingsheng taught her to ride a horse in the past, and there is a hunting ground, sitting on horseback and unconsciously walking away, against the increasingly hot sun like a ghost, rampage, anyway, she is the only one on the field.
But in the end she had some skills, she practiced for a few days without dying, and several imperial forest troops who were specially found from the palace could not defeat her, and the people in the Xianju Hall who were watching on the sidelines all raised their eyebrows and exhaled, and before she got off the horse, they sent all the delicious and delicious drinks, seeing that she was sunburned and her face was full of redness, it was even more painful, and when she went back, she called the imperial doctor and asked him to help raise her face well.
The women in the palace regard white as their beauty, and one by one they are fighting to turn themselves into white and tender, weak and windy, if it is not summoned by the emperor and the empress, they will not even want to come out of the boudoir door.
Only Su Jin, who had to run and work under the sun every day, really tossed herself like a man.
She didn't care much about these things, but the servants who relied on her life were all hoping that she could always be favored by the emperor, and if her face was gone, it was more sad than being beaten into the cold palace by the emperor.
The imperial chef in the dining room also stepped up his research on the tonics that could beautify and nourish the face in the ancient books, and offered them rain or shine according to her taste preferences, and for a time, the upper and lower parts of the Xianju Hall were united with the enemy because of her face, which made people a little stoic and unbearable, and the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.
"I really don't know what the emperor thinks, but he entrusted such a chore to our mother-in-law to do, and those who don't know think that our mother-in-law did not want the emperor to be pleased."
"You said that the emperor has not always pleased Niangniang because of this matter, in case the northern desert people leave the emperor and will not come again, how is it good?" Niangniang's stubborn temper may not necessarily go to ask for help. ”
"Anyway, now the emperor has to beg our mother-in-law, looking at the harem, there are not many people who can ride a horse, and only the lady is the only one who can ride and shoot well, just this, the emperor will not treat the lady badly."
The laughter gradually dissipated at the end of the eaves, and the people who returned from the breeze and the bright moon rushed into the room, saw that the hot soup had been prepared for their own bathing, and the horse whip was thrown away, eager to immediately soak themselves in the water and sleep like that.
When all the clothes were taken off, the palace maids around them also walked out with interest, and it was as if she had become her alone in a large room, but her eyes looked coldly at the bed, and there was a person lying there, looking at her with a smile and deep meaning, motionless, and immediately frightened her and screamed, reaching for her clothes.
"Don't rush up, you won't take advantage of you."
He lay on his side facing her with one hand on his head, and only pulled a curtain that was so thin that he couldn't cover anything, and when he saw that she seemed to be hesitating, he smiled evilly and said, "If you really want to touch you, it is useless for you to wear clothes." ”
Hearing this, she also withdrew her hand, closed her eyes and leaned her head against the side of the barrel, her lips lightly opened, and she cursed a low sentence of "vulgar people".
He was not afraid to hear it, the whole person was surrounded by the steam of water, the soreness around his body was alleviated, and his heart was happy again, but his face still did not change, cold like a sculpture.
He looked at her through the curtain, the shadow did not really look, there was a different kind of style, a moment of happiness, wanted to say something, but worried that it would annoy her, thought about it again, or closed his mouth, and changed his posture again, but his eyes were always on her.
A wind blew in from outside the window and lifted the curtain, as if she could still see the two red halos on her face, and her white and red face was much better looking than the paleness of the other temples.
She now disdained to compete with other women for favors, and put her dressing aside, and the grease and powder that the women in the palace had to do made her lazy and save, and she didn't know whether this was good or bad, so she secretly sighed several times.
She had to come over for a free time, but after freshening up and drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge from the imperial kitchen, she returned to bed to lie down.
He looked at it for a long time, saw that her eyebrows were always frowning, gently patted her shoulder, and before she could open her eyes, he said, "I know that you haven't fallen asleep yet, get up and drink a few drinks with you, and sleep more peacefully at night." ”
"If you go out at this moment, I can even save wine."
That being said, she still lazily turned over, only to see that Ruzhu Ruyu took the wine according to his instructions, and there was a low small table between the two of them, two jade cups, and a few small snacks she loved to eat, and there was a different kind of harmony.
He told her about some things in the court, and asked her if she was tired of practicing riding and shooting these days, if she was tired and panicked, she could take a day off tomorrow, and then go again when she had rested, and her words were full of concern.
Su Jin suddenly looked at her with some discomfort, holding the wine glass in one hand and not knowing what she was thinking, but she opened her mouth and said, "I don't need you to take care of my business, anyway, I won't lose your face." ”
"They all say that your temper was not like this before, but why do you always open your teeth and claws to Shuo?"
"Do I have one?"
"If you say no, you don't."
She sighed, looked up and drank the wine in the cup and lay down on her side, her whole body became softer and softer, and her eyes gradually became confused, and the contemptuous smile that hung on her mouth was no longer the contemptuous smile that she used to have, as if she had seen through everything in the world.
But she is just an ordinary person struggling in the red dust world, and she can really see through everything, and she will not increase these many troubles in vain.
He moved the table back slightly, leaned over to her side, and whispered as if he was a little drunk: "Why do you like Xue Jingsheng?" What the hell is wrong with him? ”
"Really want to know?"
"Hmm."
"He is not as calculating as you, he will only do his best to protect the people he cherishes, although he will always look like a little long, but with him, the upheaval and displacement have also become stable in the world." But you are different, you always like only the endless dangers to face, Yan,Xu,Cheng and Liangqi's mother...... You are the king of a country, but you cannot even keep your own flesh and blood, and you will never be able to match him. ”
He didn't speak, just looked at her face and her closed eyes, the eye sockets suddenly became a little moist, gently reached out to touch it, and the person in front of him was suddenly tired to the extreme, and even lay down on his palm, and the whole person slowly curled up into a ball.
"Every time I saw him standing with Qing Yao, I wanted to separate them, but everything I received from childhood to adulthood made me dare not do that, I was afraid of being told that I was wrong, afraid that the people around me didn't like me, and even more afraid that after trying my best, I found that I was just being sentimental." If I could have half of your courage and determination, I probably wouldn't have fallen into such a fate, I have lived cautiously for so many years, and finally I am still alone... They don't want me anymore.... ”
Xu is because the consciousness of drinking alcohol has become less clear, the concern is much less, and the tears have become more and more unscrupulous.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to have you like you."
"But I don't like you."
She suddenly raised her head, and there was a bit of teasing in her eyes, but it was clearly written sad.
Such a blunt rejection was something he had never encountered in his life, but he had the courage and determination she envied the most, and even if there was no reason, he would not retreat from it, vowing to take back the heart that was floating outside the clouds of the nine days.
Drinking intermittently until midnight, she was so drunk that she snuggled up in his arms and slept, and the amount of alcohol was really bad.
He looked down at the person in his arms, and at that time, the things on the bed had been cleared away, and he gently pulled her body to the side, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning the two of them woke up almost at the same time, and she pushed herself to the other side with one hand, with resistance and guard in her eyes.
The back was wet, the body was sticky and a little uncomfortable, I suddenly saw the beads of sweat on the wings of his nose, wanted to laugh but desperately endured, and said to him with a calm face: "You are not too hot." ”
"Last night, you rubbed into your arms, and you couldn't push it away after pushing it a few times."
She didn't know whether it was true or not, although she didn't quite believe his words, but her momentum still weakened, and she looked away from him in shame and annoyance, and then got up and said, "Who let you come to me for a drink at night?" ”
He lazily got up and carried her over, and some palace maids came in through the door, and he waved for them to go out first, and said playfully: "You wait for the washing." ”
"I won't."
"If you delay here, those ministers will only impeach you for confusing the king's heart and ruining state affairs."
"You're clearly framing."
"Last night, I also said that I liked Yuan, how come I got up early in the morning and wanted to turn my face and not recognize anyone?"
Her face suddenly turned red, faintly a little hot: "When did I, when did I say I liked you?" ”
He let her go, snorted, and called in the palace maids who had just been sent out by him, left her behind him, washed and changed her clothes, and left the Xianju Hall without turning his head back.
Su Jin was a little confused by him, and when he was far away, he slowly began to wash up.
Before she could go out, several people had already come to the Qiankun Palace, saying that in order to welcome the arrival of envoys from various countries, the palace should prepare a lot of things, and as the most popular concubine in recent times, she should take over those trivial matters to share the emperor's worries, so as to live up to her good luck of being favored by the emperor.
Everyone knows that there is no queen in the harem, and at this time, those who take over the burden of the queen can leave other concubines far behind if they want to compete for the back seat in the future, and if this matter can be handled well, it is equivalent to one leg having stepped into the Laiyi Palace.
The entire Immortal Residence Hall cheered almost at the same time, and only a few people were left empty.
……
Envoys from various countries came to the Hajj, the scale was much larger than the last time, almost all the countries in the western region attended, and the people of the northern desert were snubbed a lot, but on the day of the horse race, they were still the most passionate group, and men and women were free with natural heroism.
Su Jin won them without suspense, and the days of hard training were not in vain, and finally made the most of the limelight on the field.
He had been standing in the middle of the tower, his eyes moving with her figure, and she returned to the starting point to look up, just in time to meet his gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After the end, almost the whole palace boiled over, but she put away her horse whip and went up to the castle tower to sit down, watching every next game with him, and when she heard someone praising her for her excellence in riding and shooting behind her back, she did not hear it, but unconsciously leaned toward him when she suddenly covered the back of her hand with a warm touch.
Princess Chu Ofu of the Northern Desert who had met her last time, this time she did not participate, and made a gesture to her from a distance to show her admiration, raising her hand and throwing herself into a kind of purity that harem women had never seen before, without any emotion of interest.
She likes such a spontaneous and charming woman, and vaguely yearns for their lives.
Chu Wei admired her, such a woman as she was good at riding and shooting could only be found in the northern desert, she was born in the Central Plains, and she was a pampered concubine in the palace, it was reasonable to rarely have such a skill, gently asked her who taught her, and thought that she was from a family of martial generals.
Someone glanced at this side, and she just smiled softly and said, "My righteous father is a general, who has been fighting outside for many years." ”
Without mentioning Xue Jingsheng, Chu Wan did not know the details of it, and saw a thin layer of cocoons on her palms, but the back of her hands was very smooth, and she was even more surprised, and even praised her for being properly maintained, took a look at the Emperor of the Central Plains who was sitting in the middle, and praised him for his wisdom and understanding, and even married such a strange woman.
At the beginning, she lost herself to the current emperor without getting any promises, and had to stay in the palace, and now she has become an imperial concubine who is loved by thousands of people, and once she is famous in the world, coupled with the absence of queens in the palace, her status has risen a lot in an instant, so it seems that everything has come to her mind.
Everywhere in the palace was busy, she could not be idle, after the horse race ran around the palace, really taking all the things that the queen should do to herself.
When a few people did not cooperate, she did not bother to maneuver, and directly let people punish those rabble-rousers a little.
If it weren't for the fact that she had exercised some business skills when she was in the Xue family, she still didn't know where to start these trivial chores at present.
On the last day of the envoys of various countries in Beijing, as usual, they had to hold a dinner party, and someone who came out of the imperial dining room was waiting outside, saying that the dancer who was going to dance on the Xuanjie platform could not be found for some reason, and the person who provoked the girder during the usual practice was her, and if she could not find it at this time, she was afraid that it would cause a lot of chaos.
The maid of honor, who is inseparable from her every day, said that she had lost news the night before and had not returned overnight, fearing that something unexpected had happened.
Su Jin asked Xingzhu to immediately send someone to order all the concubines and mai ji in the palace to the Xianju Hall, hoping to find a substitute among them, and at the same time call the people of the Punishment Department to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Several of them were late and almost punished; she was extremely tired, but she still had the strength to ask if any of them could jump into the sky, and the beauty of the room was full of faces, but none of them dared to show their faces.
After waiting for a while, Yingyan stood next to her and whispered, "Niangniang, the slave maid has a sister, who has a good life and a very beautiful dance posture, and she may be able to dance the dance of the flying sky." ”
She asked Yingyan to find the man, and as she was waiting for someone to appear, a Liang ChongRong stood up and said that Xia Cai might be able to.
Xia Cairen, who came from Jiangnan, was already famous for her beauty, and when she first entered the palace, she was also favored by the emperor by dancing a dance in front of the holy car, and then favored her.
In the past, Su Yi was born from Mai Ji, and today's Xia Cai people were also born from Mai Ji, Su Jin sighed, and the last one who picked was the Yunchao that Yingyan said.
It was night, the prosperity had faded, and she was alone leaning against the window to look at the still lotus pond outside, and there was a faint sadness in her heart.
And in the harem, there was another jaw-dropping thing, a maihime was favored by the emperor for more than a month, directly sealed and filled, known as Luo Chongrong, with the reputation of "Luoshen".
The Xianju Hall was lively for a while, and then gradually returned to its former coldness.
Su Jin no longer took charge of the affairs of the harem since the envoy came to the court, and only intervened in the affairs of the harem according to the emperor's will when someone was needed, otherwise, she would shrink in the Xianju Hall all day long, and the gate would not go out of the second door.
She has always been a bit arrogant and tall among outsiders, never taking the initiative to visit her home, and making people resign one by one when there are banquets that can be visited or not.
However, even if she did not leave the house, the words about how Luo Chongrong was favored by the emperor did not stop, and the more she did not express it, the more unscrupulous the people who secretly mocked her.
Xu was the induction given by heaven, and she happened to feel slightly unwell for those few days, and after two days, Xingzhu was worried that she had worked too hard a while ago to leave the root of the disease, so she sent someone to call the imperial doctor.
The nurse hugged Yi Ling over, saying that a while ago she was so busy that Yi Ling, who came out early and returned late, could not see her, and missed her badly, so she waited until she had free time, so she clamored to see her mother-in-law.
She thought about it for a moment, but finally she hugged Yi Ling over, lazily reclining on the bed to talk to her, when the imperial doctor walked in, she still looked at the little girl in a daze, and after a while she heard someone in her ear: "Congratulations Niangniang, Niangniang is happy." ”
Suddenly sitting up from the seat, as if startling a bird on the ground, everyone was stunned for a moment, and once again there was a burst of joy and laughter in the vast Immortal Residence Hall, and the sound of congratulations was endless.
"Don't talk about it first."
"The emperor's side..."
She smiled softly and said, "This palace wants to personally go to the Qiankun Hall to announce the good news to the emperor, and Chu Taiyi will not even give this opportunity... The emperor had not come for some days, but the palace was very much missed. ”
Xingzhu Yingyan looked at her at the same time, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down, sullen, like condensed into ice.
