Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0032 Yinglan Mausoleum Qiao mentioned the affairs of the palace, the emperor blurted out and gave lychees

The sky is getting dark, and the new moon is rising.The chirping of cicadas and the singing of frogs complement each other, adding a touch of gentleness to the solemn inner court during the day.Taking advantage of the gap between money and food, Daiyu went back to the Empress Dowager and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In front of the Shoukang Gate, eunuchs lined up to light the lamps one after another. The transparent horn lamps were lit, and the entire Forbidden City became a brightly lit city.Even in the cold and quiet late night, it is a magnificent city that never sleeps.

The inner court at night is quieter than during the day, except for insects and birds, it is the eunuchs' trivial voices.Lan Ling wanted to relieve Daiyu's boredom, so he chatted with her while walking: "Although the money and rations have not been paid, but you are not allowed to walk around. Nowadays, it is rare to see maids on errands. 1]'s ordinary will not come out. There is no one else in Yongxiang at night except eunuchs and guards."

This is the pain of being a slave to others, where and when you can walk, there are rules everywhere.People outside envy them, saying that the palace has everything and is the best place in the world, but it is not necessarily true.After staying for a long time, it became a part of the inner court.Right now, I can say it with a smile, completely treating it as a relaxing past event.

Daiyu felt that no matter how long she lived in the palace, she would not be able to do this.The things in the palace are naturally good, but the rules are strict, and people are uncomfortable, which is really uncomfortable.

Yin[3] asked Lan Ling: "Do you want to go home?"

"The servant entered the palace at the age of 13." Lan Ling pursed her lips, showing a bit of embarrassment: "To be honest, who can miss home? At home, she is also a girl supported by her parents. There are brothers in the family. But they all respect me and love me. Entering the palace is like entering Coptis chinensis soup from a honey pot. It is bitter from the beginning to the end. My aunt will scold me every now and then. There are not a few people who say that they are kicked out."

The slaves who are kicked out can never go back to work as servants, and their life expectancy will come to an end.

When the topic changed, Lan Ling's voice overflowed with three points of joy: "Fortunately, our Daqing is not like Dacheng and Daming in the past. The court ladies can be released from the palace when they reach the age of 25. There was no such rule in the previous few dynasties. When entering the palace, no matter life or death. You have to stay in the palace, and you will be disconnected from the outside world from now on. Speaking of it, there was no such rule when the emperor was too high. It is our emperor who is generous and kind, and knows the suffering of our slaves, so he issued this order."

"It's like this..." Daiyu was a little surprised, and thought that such a rule was actually changed by the emperor. It turned out that besides being mean to people, he was also good at doing good deeds.Immediately he was relieved again, thinking to himself that he was an emperor after all, and his father and elder brother praised him very much.Perhaps he was really successful as an emperor...

Stepping into Yangxin Gate, Daiyu and Xi Shiyue are meeting each other.Lan Ling asked curiously: "Eunuch is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Xi Shiyue put his heart back into his stomach, and with a smile on his face, he said repeatedly: "I'm not going anywhere, let's see if their lights are on."

Ying Daiyu went in, followed behind and quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead.He thought to himself that he had come, just being so quiet could make the emperor restless in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, this county lord is really talented.

Having come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation so many times, it's not good at all.Daiyu quietly took advantage of the walking time to vomit a few times, and then she felt relieved.

Xi Shiyue led her into the hall: "The emperor has explained, there is no need to report back, please come in when the county lord comes." That gesture should be as respectful as it is deliberate.

Daiyu hesitated a little, and stood outside the door for a while before going in. Xi Shiyue urged her again, and she said: "Elder-in-law, I won't go in. It's not a big deal at all, just put the gauze bag into the water lily. Wait until tomorrow." I'll come back early so as not to disturb the emperor."

"County Lord, are you imitating Dayu?" After hearing this, Xi Shiyue's face was longer than that of a horse: "Do you think it's plausible to say it if you don't greet the emperor when you enter the Yangxin Palace?"

Which of the maids in front of the imperial court is not ingenious, and who can't make a gauze bag?The emperor wanted to say that they couldn't do it with their clumsy hands, and the empress dowager insisted that Daiyu come here in person. Could it be that it was really for a sip of tea smoked with water lotus?Look at the clever girl, how can she know nothing about this matter?

Seeing Daiyu frowning, hesitating and refusing to enter the door, Xi Shiyue, as an eunuch, was worried for them.

"County Lord, you are here, go in and say hello. The emperor has been tired for a day, maybe he is not energetic, so I will let you out with a word." Xi Shiyue also knew that she was afraid. The emperor's original appearance, which deep boudoir The charming girl in the movie is not afraid.But there was nothing he could do, he was the emperor's servant and had to face his master, so he could only trick Daiyu into the door.

After all Daiyu entered the palace, Lanling followed behind and shook his head at Xi Shiyue, meaning that he was not kind and deceiving!Xi Shiyue licked his molars and laughed happily, who cares if a eunuch is kind or not.He only knew that the master would be happy if he accomplished this, and this was his job.

It was a hot day, and the Linghua door of the East Nuan Pavilion was wide open. Only after bypassing the screen and walking to the door, there was a gust of refreshing cool wind blowing towards the face.Daiyu's spirit was concentrated, everyone felt comfortable with such a gust of wind in summer.

Walking in slowly, I saw the emperor sitting on the kang wearing a stone green uniform. On the kang table were lychees, melons, cherries, grapes and other fruits, all placed in a red round box.On the lid of the round box is a picture of the water pavilion enjoying the cool air, which looks like a special thing for summer.

Daiyu stepped forward to greet her, but the emperor raised his hand and called her to avoid it before she squatted down.The person who likes to talk about the rules the most, suddenly Labaer becomes lenient and easy-talking, which is not a good omen.Daiyu felt strange, and even felt uneasy in her heart.

She is the least pretentious, whatever she thinks in her heart is shown on her face.The emperor knew at a glance that she definitely didn't think of him well.

When he spoke, he couldn't help showing a gloomy impatience: "If you don't like kneeling, don't kneel. From now on, you don't have to kneel in front of me, and you don't need to be polite."

Asking Ann to salute in front of him all the time, I used to think that I knew the rules and proprieties.Now times have changed, the mentality has changed, and I don't want to be like before.Obviously this should be, but he just didn't want to.I don't want her to appear in front of me with an inferior attitude, I want her to be at ease, just like facing Princess Yangyi, and laugh as much as she wants...

As soon as the words came out, she didn't see the joyful look on her face as imagined.Instead, there are doubts and hesitation in the eyes, and there is also a kind of inquiry that hesitates to speak.

The emperor was heartbroken, turned his eyes away from her, and said in a very low voice: "I don't want to use this to do anything." You are allowed to do this."

After all, he is still an emperor, he is decent, dignified and inviolable in the eyes of outsiders.

Some things can't be explained, and the more they are described, the darker they are, and it is easy to make people more confused.Daiyu was confused when she heard it, and felt that the emperor might be mocking her, but it was not true when she carefully judged it.Why this happened all of a sudden, I can't figure it out.

The emperor's face was hot from her probing eyes, and even his earlobes were hot, he was so ashamed.He turned his head to look out the window, resolutely refusing to let her see the clue.He didn't move his head, but pointed his hand at Kang Xi accurately: "Sit."

Daiyu sat down as promised, but he still did the same.Follow his eyes and look out of the glass window, outside there is a hazy layer of sky water and blue screen window, the dark night is not slipping into autumn, decorated with little horn lamps.It's all black, what's so good about it?

The heat on her face finally subsided a little, and when she turned her head back to see her frowning and tilting her head, staring out of the window curiously, the climax that had just subsided almost returned.Reluctance to stop, he was like a bluffing paper tiger, and asked in a rough voice: "What are you looking at?!"

The voice was a little louder, Daiyu was thinking about something, suddenly she shuddered in fright: "I didn't see anything."

She withdrew her gaze and stared at the three-acre land in front of her, making up her mind not to be curious anymore.Seeing her like this, the emperor regretted it again.He couldn't figure out what he was just now, so what to do to scare her.I was afraid of him, but now I am even more afraid.

The emperor was so annoyed that he couldn't speak, and even Xi Shiyue, who was on the side, wanted to touch his forehead and sigh.Don't mention Daiyu, even if he sees the emperor like this, he is afraid.

Xi Shiyue bravely stepped forward and said with a smile: "These are all new tribute fruits, especially this lychee, which is sweet and juicy but not greasy at all. It is extremely sweet after one bite. County lord, I will peel one for you and taste it." ?”

It would be nice to have someone come in and talk without having to say everything to the emperor.Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded as if she had received amnesty: "Then peel one."

She can be kind to a servant, but she is sincere and fearful towards herself, wishing not to see each other for the rest of her life?The emperor felt depressed and stared at Xi Shiyue washing his hands and peeling the lychees.The eunuch is versatile in everything, even peeling lychees quickly and dexterously, three times, five times and two, a fresh and plump white flesh is obtained.It didn't overflow a little juice, and it was round and complete when pinched at the fingertips. It looked delicious.

Xi Shiyue took out a small silver fork, poked the lychee meat and brought it to Daiyu's mouth: "Master, try it."

Just eat it with his hands, it is really sweet and refreshing.Xi Shiyue stepped forward with a soft handkerchief in time, took the lychee kernels and put them aside, he was so attentive and thoughtful.Even Daiyu felt that it was a comfortable thing to be served by such a winking person.

Seeing her eyebrows relax, the emperor's heart also eased.Leaning on the big welcoming pillow, he told her broadly: "If you like it, take some home. It's sweet and greasy. I don't like this."

Daiyu's body was slightly stiff, her brows that had just been stretched were slightly frowned, and her voice was slightly condensed: "Thank you for your kindness, lychee is hot in nature, and it is easy to get hot when you use it more often [4], eating this one is enough."

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, thinking well, why did he change his face again?

Xi Shiyue almost wanted to wipe away his tears, Your Majesty, it would be nice if you didn't say the latter sentence.

The emperor was actually a stubborn person, and he wanted to ask the end: "You don't like it?"
