Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0045 Donate duck feathers and ask the reason, cover the screen window and sleep at dusk

The Empress Dowager hated it so much that her teeth itch.She entered the palace at a young age, and when she entered, she was the queen.The Supreme Emperor felt guilty towards her, and wanted to earn a gift to honor his wife. There were five princes in the inner court, and three of them were raised by her.Apart from the fact that the Empress Dowager's affairs are still regarded as rebellious, there is nothing else she can't do.

At the end of the day, his own son became the emperor, but he had to act according to his ideas everywhere, which was not as smooth as in the past.

"If I scold her a few words, does the emperor dare to come back and punish me?"

Having said that, I finally stopped and didn't say any more.She also knew that the emperor was cold-hearted, and she blamed herself for not realizing that he was a potential dragon back then, and she was serious about mending the relationship between mother and child, but it was already past the time he needed.No matter how angry she was, she couldn't get angry at the emperor, she turned her head and came back, and saw Miss Huang supporting the edge of the Dongkang head with one hand, bending down to tease Sanmo who was squatting on the ground.

The third girl Huang was born well, and she only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, she was not like the thin and graceful girls nowadays.A little bit fat, but fat in a subtle way.The waist is bent and twisted, and it looks as soft as cotton.This appearance, even if she looked at it, she felt that it was natural. Could it be that the emperor is not a man, so he doesn't like it?

Thinking of this, the empress dowager's anger returned.She said to Rong Shuang: "Although Yu Xie is not as beautiful as Lin Shi, she is more charming than her." Rong Shuang didn't answer, she didn't care, she just asked Yu Xie to get up, held her face, and forced a smile on her face "After a while, I will take you to pay respects to the ancestors. Yuji must be good. If you are obedient, the ancestors will let you eat. If you are not good, you will be hungry today."

Yukang was most afraid of going hungry, so she nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yukang is the most obedient."

See, what is the same is different to another person.Concubine Shu is not as beautiful and delicate as her, so saying this is a pitiful appearance of being wronged.Yuxie said, it is Jiao Didi's lovable sweet date.

The emperor walked all the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the clothes he just changed were wet with sweat again.My heart is not happy, even running quickly can't relieve this bad breath.He went into the East Nuan Pavilion with sweat on his head, and stood in front of the window, thinking about it and getting more and more angry.What does the Eastern Empress Dowager think of him as an incompetent rich man at the mercy of others?She was way too broad. Could it be that he was lucky enough to dedicate Tongshi[1] to her?It's a hell of a day and night. In his previous life, he thought he had killed the Queen Mother, and in this life he was reborn in her belly to atone for his sins.

The emperor was not happy, and he didn't have to do anything thunderous. Just standing there in harmony with the light was enough to make the people in front of the emperor fearful.Lan Ting held the cloud disk and hesitated outside the door for a long time but did not dare to enter, and asked Li Shunxiang: "What's the reason for today?"

What's the reason?It was nothing more than a disagreement between the son and the old lady, and they tried their best to stuff people into the son's room, but the other was stubborn and didn't want it.There was a strange smile on Li Shunxiang's face, or he could be an emperor because he thought differently from ordinary people.He was the eunuch, and he felt itchy when he saw Miss Huang San.Fortunately, there is no need for a high-ranking girl, and she wants Lin to be the queen in her heart, without delaying his acceptance of newcomers.

Li Shunxiang clicked his tongue: "You go in to serve tea, you don't need to say anything, just put down the teacup and come out. Long live Lord is not targeting you, he has clear grievances and grudges, and will not take his anger on you."

What if it's aimed at her, but as a slave, you have to accept your fate.Afraid to go in and serve tea?Then who would dare to throw the emperor in Dongnuan Pavilion like this?Lan Ting was lucky enough to dare to step in.After taking a step, Xi Shiyue came in holding a yellow-glazed folding plate.He was not afraid when he sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

Standing just outside the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the ducks from the dining room have been brought up, and their feathers have been pulled out."

Li Shunxiang looked like he was looking at a fool. At this time, the emperor would not care to look at duck feathers.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's voice actually came from the warm pavilion: "Come in." The voice could not be said to be soft, but it could be vaguely heard that the impatience had been suppressed.

Li Shunxiang watched Xi Shiyue enter the Dongnuan Pavilion, a servant who could not be more respectful in front of the emperor, now being allowed to enter, he was a little more proud.See, that's what he does.

"Virtue." Li Shunxiang spat secretly: "He is very proud."

The emperor took the tea in Lan Ting's hand and ate half of it slowly.Put the teacup on the Kang table casually, and take two steps forward to take a closer look.

Xi Shiyue held up the folding plate as if offering a treasure, "The servant watched the people in the dining room pull it out with his own eyes. There are three in total, and they are all the best ones on the duck's butt."

The duck feathers on the plate were all off-white, obviously washed and placed neatly.

The emperor paused, and then asked, "What's the saying about duck feathers?"

Kicking Yuyan is something that girls love to do, and they play most diligently in spring and winter.The Empress Dowager likes to watch young girls play around, and when the time comes, she always likes to ask the palace maids to become Yuyan and kick them around. If they play well, they will be rewarded with money.When the emperor went to the Shoukang Palace to invite An, he often saw them playing, and he didn't think about what the rules were.However, the big talk has already been thrown out, and now I have to grind my guns in front of the battle.

"The servant doesn't know these things, it's all played by girls." Xi Shiyue squinted and smiled, looking at it with ulterior motives.

The emperor told him that the hairs on his back were on his back: "Speak well!"

"Yes." Xi Shiyue hurriedly accepted the weird smile, and said seriously: "The noble lady in the boudoir knows these things. The emperor will go to Shoukang Palace after a meeting. You might as well take this opportunity to ask the owner of Fushou County. The county owner is meticulous. And smart, keep speaking clearly."

Or how to say that being a close minister of the emperor's seven orifices is exquisite, the master can't think of it, he has to think about it in advance.Xi Shiyue is such an exquisite person, he also came up from the eunuch.The maids in the palace couldn't touch the edge of the dining room, so they had to ask the eunuch if they wanted duck feathers.There is no eunuch who is not clear about the doorway here.

The emperor obviously also noticed his thoughts, it is a taboo to influence the emperor's thoughts, but he just gave Xi Shiyue a glance, and did not reprimand him.These words reminded him, and he felt that it was very feasible.It would be nice if I could say a few more words with this matter.

He coughed, cleared his throat, pretended to be serious and followed the rules: "Forget it, I'm not ashamed to ask you once."

Daiyu washed her hands, took off the hairpin, and took a rest on the throne bed in Xinuang Pavilion. When she woke up again, the sun was setting and the peripheral light came in through the sky-blue screen window after the rain, reflecting a hazy scene. Smoke green.Lanling Duan Shui came in to help her wash and wash, and saw her staring at the window blankly, as if she was still asleep.He couldn't help laughing and said: "I can't sleep anymore, I should have dinner after a while. If I go to sleep again, I won't be able to fall back and forth at night."

I just woke up, and I was naturally groggy and unable to lift my spirits.She sat up straight, leaned on the big welcoming pillow, and let Lan Ling wash her hands.

Lan Ling helped her put on the bracelet and bodhi bracelet one by one, trying to get her to talk more: "What is the magistrate thinking, so engrossed?"

Daiyu asked her to ask, and said softly: "I'm just looking at the newly made screen window. Isn't it just 'screen window sunset gradually dusk[2]'..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a clear voice coming from outside the window, which seemed clean and clear in the dull and hot afternoon: "The meaning of this poem is not good, what are you reading it for?"

Daiyu suddenly came to her senses, she was stunned for a moment, then got up and took a few steps forward, knelt down to the east of the kang, opened the screen window and looked out.The person in the royal blue uniform stood outside the window, and the walking dragon on the uniform was not as majestic as in the past, but rather naive.In the shade of the trees, only the plumpness on the lips is alive on a jade-white handsome face.His scorching eyes were like orbs in the dark night, flickering faintly.

"I didn't know that the emperor has such a hobby. He likes to listen to people talking through the window. I have learned the emperor's rules today." In the past, she always said that she had no rules, but now she really took the conversation.

The emperor asked her to speak so that her face was burning faintly, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.In the end, I had no choice but to skip this episode, and return to Jiangcai's poem: "When you cry, I know, why are you willing to let the tears leave marks on your face[3]?"

"The emperor is not listening to the wall [4], or making fun of people. Could it be that I am making fun of people?" Her face suddenly became hot, and she closed the screen window suddenly, turning her back to the window and ignoring people.

After being shut down again, the emperor didn't think he was disobedient. He touched his itchy neck and smiled unconsciously.Stepping towards Dongnuange, Lanling's attendant Daiyu rinsed her mouth, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with the emperor.Stepping aside on tiptoe, the emperor told her to stop, rolled up her sleeves, and washed her hands in the basin where Daiyu had washed her hands.

Lan Ling panicked: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this is the water used by the county lord. The emperor wants to wash his hands, and the servants will serve with clean water."

The emperor thought she was troublesome: "What are you doing scorpion stinging?"

He went straight to the warm pavilion, and Lan Ling squatted on the spot in a daze for a while.Xi Shiyue smiled and went to help her, and said happily: "Miss Ling, what am I talking about. You are still too young..."

After all, I don't understand the man's thoughts.The emperor just washed his hands before coming, and came all the way in a chariot sedan, so there was nothing dirty.It is the water used by others that is good, wash your hands with this water, and only you know the charming thoughts.

Lan Ling didn't speak, just gave him a white look, and got up to leave.Xi Shiyue hastily held her back: "Bring in something that makes a shuttlecock."

The masters speak elegantly and love to talk about Yuyan.They are slaves, shuttlecocks are shuttlecocks, there is not so much to talk about.

Lan Ling told him to hurt him once, but he was still unhappy, and said in a nasal voice, "Got it."

"This girl!" Xi Shiyue thought it was funny, and said to Xiao Xizi, "You really are a servant like your master. After following the county master for two days, you know that you are facing the master."

The people who serve the future empress's side are quite ordinary.Maybe he will have to wait for them to promote him in the future, and he deserves more face now.

Xi Shiyue licked his back molars and smiled, thinking of the days to come, he felt very beautiful in his heart.Suddenly the emperor in the warm pavilion raised his voice: "Xi Shiyue, did you die outside?"

Tongshi [1]: A booklet recording the daily life of the palace.This refers specifically to the sexual life of the emperor and concubines, as you know.

Screen window sunset gradually dusk[2]: From Liu Fangping's "Spring Resentment", the original sentence is the screen window sunset gradually dusk, no one sees tears in the golden house.The latter sentence is more famous, it is the lonely and empty courtyard, the spring is late, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground without opening the door.It is a very typical palace complaint poem.

How can you be willing to let the teardrops leave marks on your face[3]: To read it in conjunction with the last sentence, no one sees the tear marks in the golden house, which means that there are tears marks after weeping for a long time, but there is no one to accompany them, no one knows.What the emperor meant by this sentence is that I will not leave you alone, let alone let you cry for a long time without anyone knowing.

Listen to the wall [4]: ​​Overhear other people's words.
