Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0019 Looking for secluded flowers blooming in Jiangxuexuan, looking for bells and complaining about old crabapple tanks

Daiyu became more and more certain that the emperor had designated her as her creditor in his previous life, so he could find her from the crowd accurately.

Reluctantly turned around, walked forward, greeted him with two or three steps away: "My Majesty please greet me."

The emperor waved her to wake her up, her eyes shone brightly in the sun, with an inexplicable brilliance.He is really handsome and beautiful, if you don't know his mean nature, it is really easy to be fascinated by him.

"When you see me turn around and run away, is this your manner?"

As soon as Daiyu uttered it, she knew that it must be ridiculing and reprimanding again.It turns out that after hearing these words too much, they will be fluttered, and it will be as if the wind blows past their ears.

"My little girl forgot something, she has to go back and get it."

"Forgot something?" He seemed to know that she was lying, and he chewed the words repeatedly in his mouth.The voice is extremely soft, but it has a coercion and momentum that cannot be ignored, leaving a long and deep aftertaste.

The emperor glanced sideways, she drooped her eyebrows and lowered her head, quite a bit pleasing to the eye.His complexion was as white as snow, and when the sun shines, it becomes even whiter, almost transparent.The pearl pendant next to the ear dangled back and forth, and the two soft whites were evenly divided.After all, she is a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. I can't tell what is different, but it is different from the people in the palace.She is like a thin and smooth sweet white glaze, as thick as snow, without any pretense, it is enough to be pleasing to the eye when placed there neatly.

He stared at it for too long, Daiyu could feel the long-lasting gaze with her head down, and her face was involuntarily stained with crimson.

The emperor looked away and coughed lightly: "Where is the palace servant serving you?"

"Going back to the emperor, I heard that Jiang Xuexuan is clean and quiet, so I want to go for a walk. Lan Ling said that it's a little bit of a walk, so I will pass on the soft sedan chair when I go back." She told the truth, but she couldn't help feeling anxious.The emperor can't be so petty, even the Shoukang Palace doesn't allow her to go out, and wants to trap her inside.

Fortunately, the emperor was not so stingy. Hearing this, he became very interested and turned to tell Li Shunxiang: "Prepare the chariot, the weather is fine today, I'm going to take a break."

As if hearing the bad news, Daiyu was so surprised that she was tongue-tied and said in a stuttering voice: "The emperor is in a good mood, my little girl dare not disturb..."

"I'm not afraid of disturbing you. It's interesting when there are many people." It was obviously an excuse, but he was able to accept it without shame.Lifting her thin lips, she looked at her with a half-smile, as if she was unhappy and he was happy.

Daiyu was so angry that she couldn't speak, and three points of fear rose from the bottom of her heart.Who knows if the emperor tried every means to scare her again. Some time ago, the person was not strong enough, so this time there is a new trick.

Jiangxuexuan is indeed a little far away from Shoukang Palace, and there is still a long way to go there in a soft sedan chair.Daiyu leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to meditate. After an unknown amount of time, she heard Lanling say outside in a daze, "Master, Jiangxuexuan has arrived."

Daiyu woke up and came out of the soft sedan chair.The first thing that catches the eye is a multicolored glazed flower bed, with emerald railings and crimson pillars intertwined, and the white marble upper brackets complement each other, bright in color, but not tacky.It is exquisite and complicated, magnificent, and the culmination of rich ink and color.Stones are piled up in the flower beds to form rockery, and the begonias blooming in the first bloom are grand and luxuriant, and the sea of ​​flowers blows across the face.

The emperor stood in front of the crabapple flowers, wearing elegant and clean stone blue regular clothes.Even standing under the flower tree, it still looks refreshing and pleasant.Open your eyes just like that and look over, it is the beauty that makes people's heart throbbing.At this moment, it seems that the clouds are flourishing and the clouds are flourishing, thousands of rocks are competing for beauty, and the world is full of elegance.

"Have you seen enough?" The emperor put his hands behind his back, causing her to feel confused, and quietly turned his fingers to resolve it, and pretended to reprimand, "I don't want to be ashamed!"

Daiyu suddenly looked away, feeling ashamed and angry at this moment of fascination.She seemed to be crazy, to think that the emperor is also charming.Forgive him for being so handsome and plump, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he becomes a heinous villain.

"The begonia flowers are in full bloom, and it's human nature to be greedy for a moment. My little girl can't bear the emperor's words of 'shameless'!"

Who told him to stand in front of the crabapple flowers?She was clearly looking at the flowers, but he thought he was looking at him because he was being affectionate!

Where are her eyes fixed on, can he not see?The emperor made her laugh angrily: "You are clearly..."

The rest of the words could not be said, he wanted to retreat, but Daiyu went further: "What is it?"

She raised her head and asked him, her eyes were sparkling, expressing narrowness and cunning clearly.She made up her mind that the emperor was not so brazen and could say that.

Sure enough, the emperor gave her a menacing look, then calmly withdrew his gaze, ignored her, and went straight to Jiangxue Pavilion, bypassing the glazed flower bed.

Winning a big victory in the confrontation with the emperor made Daiyu burst out with endless pleasure.It turns out that it is such a feeling to force people to be speechless, and it turns out that being mean to others really makes me happy!

She lowered her head and pursed her lips and secretly smiled, then followed the emperor into Jiangxuexuan.Unexpectedly, the emperor stopped suddenly and turned around in front of the sill window in the east room.This action was so sudden that Daiyu didn't have time to put away the smile on her face, and he saw it all.

The emperor squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Is that so happy?"

It's easy to win him once, so I'm naturally happy.But I can't say this clearly, and I can only be happy quietly.Daiyu closed her smile, and changed back to Duanfang Linglong: "The emperor is kind enough to allow me to accompany you. I am grateful in my heart, and I can't help being happy."

"Really?" Knowing that she was telling lies with her eyes open, he seemed to be pleased by the lies, and smiled with his lips curled up.

The calm person smiled, which inevitably made people wonder if he had a bad idea.Daiyu told him to laugh so loudly: "everything I say is the truth."

The emperor glanced at her, and led her into the East Room.The big glass window under the Fushou Wanzi window is bright, and there is still a kang under the window.The emperor took advantage of the situation and sat down on the east side of the kang. The copper samovar in front of the emperor was never turned off, and the water was boiled day and night.When the emperor left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he ate the tea from his own copper samovar.As soon as he sat down, a court lady came in to serve tea.

"Sit." The emperor pointed to Kangxi and asked Daiyu to sit.How dare Daiyu sit with him, she still wants to choose a round stool to sit on, so as to get through this process.The emperor seemed to have seen her thoughts, he raised two fingers, and knocked impatiently on the kang table: "I let you sit here."

Daiyu stood and hesitated for a moment, seeing the emperor's brows knotted, she inevitably panicked, so she went forward and sat down on the kang.Although I sat, I only dared to sit halfway.You can't lean comfortably on the big welcome pillow like the emperor, and lean your whole body on it.She was still upright, sitting upright, but still like a wisp of catkins that was about to blow away with the slightest breeze.Too soft, too fragile.

"Suzhou's Biluochun is the best. This is the first crop before tomorrow. You might as well try it. Is it as good as the one you eat at home?"

Daiyu ate it as she said, and it was indeed clearer than the one at home. There was a sweetness on the tip of her tongue, and it was a natural and clean fragrance.

She couldn't help being curious: "I often eat Mingqian tea, which is also produced in Zhuangzi in Suzhou. It's just not as good as the emperor's here, and it's smoother and lighter. They say, 'The water for making tea should be made from mountains and rivers. , under the well water.[1] 'This tea is supposed to be made of mountain spring water?'

The emperor just mentioned a few words, but he didn't expect her to be so precious, and his eyes were more interesting: "The water in front of the emperor is brought back from Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs. The water there is sweet and clear, better than ordinary mountain spring water."

It is said that the palace costs a lot because they like to spend on ordinary things.The most common cup of water looks the same, but it is actually made of real gold and silver.

Daiyu lowered her head and wrung the handkerchief, not knowing what to say for a while.The entire Dongci room was silent, only the sound of tick-tock sounded in a regular and rhythmic manner.

Daiyu was curious, she didn't know what kind of voice it was, but it sounded familiar.But if I really want to say what it is, I can't remember it for a while.

She turned her face sideways, revealing a novel look.The emperor guessed what she was thinking at a glance, and called Li Shunxiang: "Go and see, is that Begonia vat clock still accurate? Hold it here and have a look."

Li Shunxiang responded to the sound and went to Dongshaojian, and came out with his things in his arms after a while.When it was placed on the Kang table, Daiyu raised her eyes to see it.But it was a clock made in the shape of a vat, with a dial embedded in the belly of the vat, and red and green stones inlaid around the disc.The belly of the jar is a yellow-brown fake stone, surrounded by cranes, surrounded by five bright red crabapple flowers in full bloom.The three largest begonias can open and close, and the flower hearts are in the middle of the author's Queen Mother of the West, Boy Holding Peach and Immortal Ape Holding Peach.Because it is made of gold-plated copper and inlaid enamel, it is rich in color, delicious and delicate.

Daiyu couldn't help admiring: "It's really ingenious. What kind of mind can come up with this!"

Her eyes were full of emotion and praise, and her smile was full of indescribable joy.Looking at it like that, it is a child who has seen new and interesting things.

The emperor suddenly had a wave of self-confidence, this is something from the palace, and his Murong family can take out one casually, and it can make a little girl happy like this.

"This is something left over from the previous dynasty." Speaking of this, the emperor was even more proud.The previous court was so brave, but the Murong family still managed to take down the Sheng family and turned the huge Forbidden City into their own house.

"Emperor Jiashun had Empress Yuanmin in the previous dynasty. It is said that she loved crabapple the most and was the first wife of Emperor Jiashun. After Empress Yuanmin left, Emperor Jiashun celebrated her birthday every year. This crabapple flower It was he who drew the blueprints for the cylinder clock and asked the manufacturing office to make it."

Daiyu didn't expect that behind a vat clock, there was actually a love affair from the previous court hidden.It reminded her of reading "The West Chamber" with Baoyu that day, and it was also so lingering and affectionate.

She stared at the jar bell in a daze, and murmured: "It must be a good story about Emperor Jiashun and her Empress Yuanmin. Emperor Jiashun liked her so much, but it's a pity that she passed away early. What a shame." Good things are not firm, but colored clouds are easy to scatter and glass is brittle[2]."

The ending of this past is really not good.If he hadn't seen this vat clock, the emperor would not have wanted to mention it.I always feel that it is too sad and not very good.He moved his mouth, but didn't speak again.Just let her feel that this is a lingering past.Somehow it was more pleasant to see her smile than to cry.

Daiyu stared at the vat clock and couldn't bear to look away, but the emperor looked at her.

When the interest was high, the severe pain in the abdomen suddenly came up.Her hand trembled, the teacup tipped over, and the tea splashed all over her body.

The emperor opened his mouth to reprimand him, but suddenly saw her covered in cold sweat, clutching her stomach and laying on the kang, and panicked for a while: "Tell the imperial physician!"
