Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0041 Divide the five grains and the emperor learns to punting, rowing water chestnut bucket Daiyu's homesickness

Listen to what this is saying, so that people may not know how to say it after hearing it.Daiyu was not happy to see the emperor, all the excitement just now disappeared, and she replied sleepily: "The plantain tree grows really well, but it reminds me of the phrase 'in the middle of the day light plantain roll[1]'. It's so good Banana leaves, sitting by the window and listening to it when it rains, there is another feeling.”

Daiyu always has her own interpretation of charm and charm.He has also read such a good sentence as "Listen to the rainy night dripping plantains [2]", but at that time he was ambitious and always felt that it was too lingering.Hearing her mention it now gave me a different taste.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "If you like it, ask the palace servants to plant two trees across the window of Qiuhong Palace. Plantains are easy to live, and it's just right to plant them now."

"The emperor still understands this?" Maybe he was too gentle these days, but Daiyu couldn't hold back, feeling curious in her heart, so she blurted out the question.

"Underestimate people?" The emperor glanced at her, took two steps towards her, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her to talk.Daiyu faintly felt that the distance was not good, so she took a step back.She thought she was retreating in a concealed manner, but all her small movements were under the eyes of the emperor.He just pretended he didn't see it, and let her be happy.

He said: "In your eyes, I am a person who does not distinguish between five grains?"

Daiyu didn't answer, she thought to herself, shouldn't the emperor be like this?People who are pampered from childhood know how to plant land and when should trees be planted?

She didn't have to answer, the emperor knew at a glance that she must be planning herself again.He didn't dare to open his mouth on the bright side, and could only slander in his heart.

Looking up at the sky, the emperor thought sadly, it's good to do so.His demands on her are infinitely lenient, as long as she is willing to look at him, he is happy.It is unprecedented to be an emperor to this extent.

"Although I have rich clothes and good food, I have also endured hardships." The past was too gloomy, he didn't want to talk about it, and told her to dirty her ears after hearing it. "What are you doing in the Garden of Compassion?"

"Come and fold two lotus leaves and take them back to play." He didn't say a word about what he wanted to come to play by boat.

What a flirtatious girl, she even plays differently from others.Playing with lotus leaves is really elegant and interesting.The emperor suddenly felt proud: "Two slices are enough? You can have as many as you want, just ask, and I'll fold it for you."

The huge Forbidden City is all his, so what's the lotus leaf in this pond?

"The emperor dare not accept the love, let the servants break it." If he broke it by hand, it would not be a game, but a trouble.

She declined repeatedly, but the emperor insisted on breaking the lotus leaves with his own hands to make her happy, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I am very good at water, even if I step on the empty space, it's okay."

It was nothing at all, and I was really frightened when I asked him to say this.If the emperor fell into the water because of this, she would not be able to speak clearly even if she had a long mouth all over her body.Seeing that he had already rolled up his arrow sleeves to reveal a piece of jade white arm, he made a gesture to move forward.

Daiyu hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't go... I didn't intend to break it, but I thought that there was a boat in the Garden of Compassion and Ning, and I wanted to ride on it. I was afraid that the Emperor would reprimand me for being playful and foolish. That's why I lied that I wanted to fold lotus leaves..."

The voice became softer and softer, and in the end it was almost nothing in his burning eyes.Daiyu made him look guilty, lowered his head and asked, "What does the Emperor always look at me for?"

"It turns out that in your heart, I am not only indiscriminate, but also a person who is indiscriminate and loses his temper?"

Daiyu almost wanted to blurt out, aren't you such a person?

Although she didn't say it, the expression on her face showed it clearly.The emperor's tone couldn't help being mixed with three points of grievance: "You wronged me like this, what good does it do you?"

Daiyu couldn't argue with it, thinking that he would still happily fold lotus leaves for her in the future, she couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty.

The words were apologetic: "It's my villainous heart, I thought too much..."

"You don't need to say high-sounding words." He raised his hand to stop, "If you are really sorry, you should show some sincerity."

sincerity?Daiyu was puzzled, he was the emperor, why didn't he want anything, why did he want to beg for something like this?But she is not a stingy person either, so she immediately said: "Please speak up, Your Majesty, as long as I do what I can."

She only thought that the emperor was going to say something, but she didn't expect him to change the subject, and no one would have expected it: "I don't ask for anything, I just want to sneak in a leisurely time, and I will follow you to the boat."

Xi Shiyue was listening, almost weeping with joy.For some reason, the emperor seems to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and also knows how to please girls.This time and again, the words are so beautiful.It's like gossip and jokes, but it's funny to listen to.

The boat in the Garden of Compassionate Ning said it was a small boat, but it was really small, so it wasn't a lie.There is only room for two people to sit, one in front of the other, and there is not much room in the middle.A long pole was placed across the boat, and someone had to support it to go out.

Daiyu was overjoyed, and said softly, "I don't know how to punting a boat, even if the emperor wants to do it. Why don't you ask them to send another boat, and it will be easier to sit scattered."

Unexpectedly, the emperor glanced at her, his face was full of calm and understanding, as if he knew she would say that early in the morning.He bent down and picked up the long pole, asked Xi Shiyue to untie the rope, and propped the long pole into the water. Without knowing how to do it, with a light and skillful poke, the boat swayed towards the center of the lake.

"You can even do this?" Now Daiyu really admired him from the bottom of her heart. An imposing emperor knows how to plant trees and move them, but he can even punting a boat, which is really surprising.No matter how I think about it, I can't figure out how he practiced this skill. "My lord, what else do you want?"

The emperor stood at the bow, looking very happy.The boat went into the depths of the lotus leaves, and layers of green leaves rushed over, making his jade face even more handsome.The green color could pass through the skin and flow into him.The servants were not in front of him, only facing Daiyu, he became more and more relaxed, he didn't even have to work hard to maintain his pretentious reserve in front of others, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips when he spoke.

"What's the point of making it clear once, the future will last forever, wouldn't it be better for me to tell you slowly in the future?" He would never tell Daiyu that punting is learned by sharpening a gun in front of a battle.After learning it, Lan Ling picked up the boat, otherwise, how could there be only two people in the palace?

He didn't stop with his men, propping the boat forward slowly.The emerald green lotus leaves are cool and cool, hiding under the umbrella leaves, it is cool and pleasant without fanning.Daiyu leaned against the stern and stretched out her hand to pluck the leaves. The deeper she went, the more she tasted the feeling of "straying into the depths of the lotus flower [3]".

The emperor found an empty place to stop, put down the long pole and sat back.

Daiyu was extending her round fan into the water to watch the ripples, and was having fun when she saw the boat stop suddenly, she couldn't help asking: "Why did it stop?"

This is the time to play, the emperor leaned on the boat: "You can also let me have a rest." She was sitting and playing comfortably, and he was sweating on the boat.

Daiyu didn't speak, she picked up the fan with her lips pursed, and was about to dry off the water, when he suddenly reached out and snatched it, took it and fanned it: "Let me use it."

What kind of borrowing is this? It's no different from Ming Qiang.Fortunately, the round fan got wet, so she didn't want it.If not, definitely don't borrow him.

The round fan was originally something that noble ladies in the boudoir used to play with. If you really want to use it to keep cool, there is not much wind.Fortunately, at the moment, surrounded by lotuses, I sat quietly for a moment, and it was cool after all.The emperor was holding the ground fan in his hand, and the tall and handsome man really didn't match the round fan. There was always a sudden and weird feeling, which made people want to laugh.

Daiyu was afraid that she would not be able to hold back the real laughter, so she simply turned her head away from him.The lotus leaves are luxuriant, and the lotus flowers have begun to show their sharp corners. They stand gracefully in the water, and they can bloom happily just waiting for a few more days of brewing.

She muttered to herself: "There should be fresh lotus pods in the process."

"There will be lotus seeds only after the flowers wither." The emperor leaned over and followed her gaze, thinking that she was greedy for lotus seeds: "If you want to eat lotus seeds, you have to make them in the dining room. They keep them for themselves." Yes, you can eat whenever you want."

"Things that are not in season are not good to eat." Daiyu didn't want to eat them, but she just mentioned them in passing.According to the emperor's temperament, he was afraid that he would really send someone to send a bowl of lotus seeds when he went back, so he added: "Besides, the lotus pods in the north are not good. Sweet, refreshing and sweet."

She has a bit of nostalgia for her hometown, no matter what she has, it is the best in her hometown.Although she knew that it was her homesickness that made her feel that everything was fine, but her yearning gesture was really touching.

The emperor thought about it, but couldn't figure out what it was like: "The Supreme Emperor once went to Jiangnan, but unfortunately I was too young to follow [4]. If there is a chance in the future, I must go to Jiangnan to see .”

Daiyu looked homesick, and dabbled in the water with her fingers, not saying a word.

The emperor's talk was full of excitement: "Suzhou is also called Water City by another name. There is a poem saying: 'When you come to Gusu to see you, everyone sleeps in the river.' Think everyone will be able to punting?"

"Most of them will." Both she and her brother thought about learning it, but unfortunately they didn't have the chance.One is trapped in a deep house compound, and the other is in the school every day.

"Although I don't know how to punting, I can row a water chestnut barrel." She probably thought that the emperor could punting, but as a Jiangnan native, she couldn't, so she was a bit of a loser, so she added a sentence specially to show that she also has strengths.

"Cross barrel?" Don't mention it, the emperor has never heard of it. "what is that?"

After all, he didn’t know how to do this, Daiyu said with a smile: “It’s said to be a barrel, but it’s actually as tall as an ordinary wooden basin, but the base is wider. Only one person can sit cross-legged, because it’s a flat bottom, not like a wooden basin. The boat is stable, and if there is no luck, it will turn over. You don’t need oars to row the water chestnut bucket. You can cut open the mussels to remove the mussel meat, wash the clam shells, and hold them in one hand from left to right. They can be used as oars. Wherever you want to go Go, let's paddle with clam shells, not to mention how interesting it is."

She talked about it eloquently, presumably because she is very familiar with it and must have played it often.The emperor looked at her in a daze, not even knowing when she stopped.After Daiyu finished speaking, she looked up and met his eyes.For some reason, his eager eyes made his cheeks burn, he looked away strangely, and returned his general words: "Is it so beautiful?"
