Chapter 313: Envy of others
Before the three hours arrived, Lu Chengqi, who had nothing to do, left the vertical arch hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's rare to have a free day, and it's always a little comfortable not to have to face the mountains of twists and turns.
Surrounded by the little eunuchs and palace maids, Lu Chengqi came to the imperial dining room. Looking at the evening after the rain, Lu Chengqi suddenly remembered something: "Where is the queen?" ”
The personal little eunuch was stunned for a moment, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know the little one." ”
Lu Chengqi scolded with a smile: "I don't know, don't you know how to find it?" Is it impossible to get rid of it? ”
The little eunuch who was a little cute said "oh", and he didn't know how to say it, so he hurriedly opened his feet and ran to Renming Palace. Lu Chengqi smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "It's still easy to use the original personal eunuch, this ......"
The original personal eunuch was sent by Lu Chengqi to serve the Empress Dowager Zunci, not only sent the personal eunuch over, but also the palace maids who served Lu Chengqi, and sent a lot of them to show filial piety.
Lu Chengqi pondered: "It seems that I haven't been to Gyeongbok Hall for a while, so I have to discuss it with Zitong tonight, and take some time tomorrow to go over and see the Queen Mother." What do you say, I am also the stepmother of my life, as the emperor, I still have to set an example for the subjects of the world......"
In a short time, the imperial dining room arrived. And the imperial chef has already prepared dinner for the entire palace. Of course, the emperor's dinner was freshly made, and they were afraid that the emperor would be derelict in their duties if they ate cold dishes. If the emperor doesn't blame, it's a trivial matter, just change a dish. But if it happens that the emperor is in a bad mood and eats your already cold dish, it will be your good luck not to dismantle you. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and it is said that your heart is unpredictable!
While waiting for dinner, the personal little eunuch ran back panting: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Queen Mother...... She ......"
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he was anxious, and stood up with a "whew", raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "How is Zitong?" ”
The personal little eunuch was frightened by Lu Chengqi and almost fell to his knees: "The queen mother went out of the palace......"
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he knew that he was nervous, and his heart was a little wider, and he scolded with a smile: "You are talking half and half, do you want me to punish you?" ”
The little eunuch cried and said, "Your Majesty, isn't the little one in a hurry......?"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to complain, send someone out of the palace to find it, the welfare house, and look for it everywhere in the imperial village! If you can't find the queen, don't come back! Lu Chengqi said impatiently.
Today, when I heard that the Yellow River was about to break, Lu Chengqi was not in a very good mood, and even the palace maids behind him noticed Lu Chengqi's depression and unhappiness, and they were cautious for fear of angering the little emperor. Only this little eunuch who lacks heart and eyes can't even do this little thing, the palace maid who was guarding behind Lu Chengqi had no expression on her face, but she laughed at the little eunuch shamefully in her heart.
Seeing the little eunuch running in embarrassment, with his back to the little emperor, those palace maids all covered their mouths and snickered. Lu Chengqi habitually tapped the table with his fingers, and muttered in his mouth: "This Zitong is not too young, he even forgot the meal time, like a child, it's really ......"
The palace maids in the front row with sharp ears heard it clearly, and couldn't help laughing again, and said in their hearts: "The emperor still cares about the queen very much......
And the scheming one was deep, but he said in his heart: "It's just fate, if the emperor takes a fancy to me, won't I also fly on the branches to be a phoenix?" This kind of thinking occupies the majority. This can't be blamed on them, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and they are counted as palace maids, who may be favored by the emperor, how many people can there be in Yulu Chengen?
These palace maids are all the best choices, at least in this era, those who come out of the palace cannot be ugly. Most of them are still selected by the good family of the minister, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad. These palace maids, their hearts are higher than the sky, their lives are thinner than paper, and the fate of most people is just to live thirty years old, be repatriated home, and use ten or twenty years of youth in exchange for nothing more than a bunch of things. At that time, people were old and yellow, so they could only find someone to marry, and they could only be concubines, and their fate was bumpy, which was extraordinary.
and a small part will be favored by the imperial guards and ask the queen for marriage, which can be regarded as getting out of the sea of suffering. But the imperial guards are only a thousand people, and most of them still have families, haven't they gone to the end of the mountains and rivers to do small ones? These arrogant women, I'm afraid they won't!
But apart from this road, there are really not many choices for the palace maids. Are they going to marry those useless eunuchs? Although many palace maids and eunuchs have been in love for a long time, although they can't be human, their feelings are better than those of ordinary couples. But this kind of love, which is intolerable in the eyes of the world, is criticized after all. How many palace maids with hearts higher than the sky can accept it!
Most of the palace maids behind him were the same age as emperors, and they were sent to the palace before they were fifteen years old, and now they are only sixteen or seventeen years old. In the big dye vat of the palace, they are more scheming than women of the same age, and even if there are those who are not stained by the mud, they are in the minority.
The palace maids had their own concerns, and Lu Chengqi was also absent-minded, even when the imperial chef brought the dishes, he didn't mean to use the chopsticks, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The night slowly fell, Zhou Zhiruo still didn't turn around, Lu Chengqi finally couldn't sit still, and just wanted to say that when he was about to leave the palace, he heard the little eunuch outside the door shouting: "The queen has arrived!" ”
Lu Chengqi was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, took three steps and made two steps, and stepped out of the imperial dining room. This agile movement made the palace maid behind him feel sad, envious, and jealous.
Sure enough, with the help of a personal palace maid, Zhou Zhiruo slowly walked towards Lu Chengqi. Lu Chengqi was still a little complaining, but when he saw Zhou Zhiruo's voice and smile, those dissatisfactions had already been thrown out of the clouds, and the whole person seemed to laugh from the bottom of his heart, like a spring breeze.
Zhou Zhiruo slowly walked in front of Lu Chengqi and said in a low voice: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, I am tired of waiting for Your Majesty for a long time, and the concubine really doesn't want to go ......."
Lu Chengqi hurriedly helped Zhou Zhiruo into the imperial dining room, and said: "It's good for Zitong to go back to the palace, just go back to the palace." It's raining today, has Zitong ever been drenched? ”
"How can the concubine get drenched in the welfare home? His Majesty is concerned, and the concubines are ......"
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, it's important to eat." Lu Chengqi said gently, this love is so good, not only does Lu Chengqi's personal palace maids look hot for a while, but Zhou Zhiruo's personal palace maids are a little envious.
The two sat down, Lu Chengqi saw that some dishes were cold, and called the imperial chef: "I have changed it, it's all cold, and the queen has eaten badly, there are ...... you look good."
Zhou Zhiruo stopped: "Your Majesty, just take it and heat it up, isn't Your Majesty the most thrifty?" ”
Lu Chengqi heard Zhou Zhiruo say this, and immediately changed his mind: "Listen to the queen's mother......"
The chef said "yes" and went out with the dishes. Seeing this scene, the palace maids behind him who were determined to make the little emperor take a fancy to themselves began to overturn the vinegar jar, but they were limited to Lu Chengqi's imperial power and did not dare to show it.
