Chapter 138, the awkward emperor
The hall was warm, so Wei Jiashu only wore a pine-colored fine silk shirt, and the lower body was paired with a Ruyi camellia Luo pleated skirt, which was thin and elegant.
The cold wind howls outside the hall, and the hall is as warm as spring.
Even if you only wear single clothes, you don't feel cold.
In fact, she wore a lot, a vertical collar and a narrow sleeved shirt lined with an off-white poplin collared jacket, and the pleated skirt was not empty, but a pair of poplin crotch pants.
Not counting the underwear, I also wore two layers.
And the room temperature of the side hall is more than 20 degrees.
Yesterday evening, the flower room Baba sent two pots of high-quality "jade Linglong" narcissus, a pot of flowers like a peacock open screen, rested on the Ruyi flower table next to the Luohan couch, the flowers bloom coarsely, fragrant and lush, it is gratifying.
Yingluo hurriedly served the high-grade Longjing, and Wei Jiashu was not suitable for tea, so Zhu Yun served her a hot osmanthus stewed milk.
Xuan Chengyi picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and put it down, "This is the Mingqian Longjing that I gave you in the spring, right?" ”
Seeing that the emperor didn't even touch his lips, Wei Jiashu was a little puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this tea?" ”
Xuan Chengyi said lightly: "Although the tea before the Ming Dynasty is mellow, but after a long time, the fragrance will disperse." ”
Wei Jiashu choked, and it had only been released for more than half a year...... It's not the old tea of the next year! The emperor's mouth is tricky enough.
Wei Jiashu hurriedly said: "The concubine asked the bottom to make you another Lu'an melon slice." ”
Lu'an melon slices are the best picked before the spring rain in the valley, called "ti slices", and the bulk tea picked after the rain in the valley is called "melon slices", as well as the "plum slices" picked in the rainy season, the "plum slices" of the third crop are concocted, and the tribute is only a few months in Beijing, and it is still fresh.
But on second thought, the "plum slices" tea leaves are slightly rougher than the Lu'an tea before and after the rain in the valley, and far less than the tea before the Ming Dynasty in early spring.
However, she has no other tea.
"Forget it, I'm not thirsty." Xuan Chengyi saw the embarrassment on Jiashu's face, and he could guess that the Lu'an melon skin sent to the Changqiu Palace was not the best Lu'an tea.
Xuan Chengyi's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at this small side hall, although it was very warm, it was too narrow.
"I just stopped by to have a look." Xuan Chengyi said with a straight face.
Wei Jiashu took a sip of fragrant osmanthus stewed milk with a teacup, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine is all right." ”
In any case, it is also a side hall with a full width of three rooms, which is many times stronger than the collective dormitory where the palace maids lived in the past.
Although the side hall is small, the interior should be furnished as it was at the beginning, and there are many of them that he has rewarded. Xuan Chengyi looked at this small side hall, and suddenly sighed.
Since he returned to the palace, he has been angry, and he hasn't come to see her for two months.
Jiashu is also patient, if it weren't for the Wei family's accident, I'm afraid she wouldn't go to me.
Xuan Chengyi sighed a little, he hadn't been to Changqiu Palace for a long time, and the last time he came was in the spring, and then he went to Daxuan Palace to escape the summer.
For a while, the hall was silent, and time passed slowly on the Western table clock.
At this moment, Wei Jiashu also felt that his relationship with the emperor was very awkward.
She could see that the emperor still cared about her.
The emperor's self-esteem is so strong, which makes it impossible for him to coax women like an ordinary man, especially in front of so many palace people.
After a long silence, Xuan Chengyi said slowly: "Xia Guifei, at the end of the year, it will still be released." ”
Wei Jiashu's expression was not shocked, and his eyebrows were meek, "Yes, the concubine understands." "-It's already a very rare thing to be able to lock up Xia Guifei for so long.
Looking at her wood-like appearance, Xuan Chengyi suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, he was actually just temporarily releasing the Xia family.
Xuan Chengyi couldn't help but say, "I just let Xia Guifei come out for the New Year." ”
Wei Jiashu said in his heart, this means...... Will you have to be locked up in the next year?? Xia Guifei is also sad enough.
Seeing that Wei Jiashu didn't react, Xuan Chengyi felt panicked, "You take care of the fetus, I have already asked someone to deal with the affairs of your mother's family, don't think nonsense!" ”
Leaving this sentence, the emperor left without looking back.
Wei Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, if the emperor of the Wei family is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to solve it safely.
And Xia Guifei's lifting of the ban on the New Year should also be understood as the reason why she spoke to the emperor.
Yingluo whispered: "Little lord, the emperor seems to be a little angry. But compared to the last time and the last time I left, this time it can only be regarded as a thin anger.
Wei Jiashu slandered, what is he angry about?
"I didn't upset the emperor this time!" Wei Jiashu muttered.
Yingluo said in his heart, too, although the little lord said little in front of the emperor today, he was indeed gentle and tactful. But why is the emperor still unhappy?
It's just that the arrival of the emperor has to provoke the jealousy of the six palaces.
Yesterday, the emperor rewarded Wei Meiren with the royal crane, and today he personally came to condolence and care, no matter how you look at it, Wei Meiren is going to regain her favor!
Because of this change in the emperor's attitude, Wei Jiashu found that the winter clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were in better condition than those before the month.
Wei Jiashu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the harem concubines were so riveting to compete for favor.
Three days later, in the afternoon, Wei Jiashu entertained Concubine Li in the main hall of Changqiu Palace, and the two talked and laughed while eating tea and snacks.
"Recently, the emperor has been very concerned about you, and yesterday he asked someone to send some high-quality skins, which are all tribute materials offered by the governor of Jilin!" Concubine Li giggled, full of amusement.
"And the day before yesterday, the emperor also asked someone to reward your mother's gold, silver and silk, and also gave your younger brother the four treasures of the study, and even let Qi Yuan, a scholar of the Gewu Academy, be accepted as a disciple!"
Lu Weizhong naturally reported this matter a long time ago, although the emperor had a somewhat cold attitude towards her five days ago, and some people were confused, but the rewards he gave were indeed a lot.
Only those who are born as scholars in the new science can have the opportunity to enter the Gewu Academy, which is equivalent to the Hanlin Academy of the old Confucianism. Although this bachelor has no real power, he is also a high-ranking official of the third grade, and it is really a waste for such a new science master to teach Xingyu.
However, Wei Jiashu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Xingyu in his heart, and since then, Xingyu finally didn't have to spend his good youth in the Four Books and Five Classics, which he was not good at at all.
At this moment, Xu Min, the chief eunuch in Concubine Li's palace, hurriedly came in and reported: "Niangniang, little master, Ye Cainu of Chuxiu Palace has launched." ”
Concubine Li bowed slightly, "Yes, it was already full-term half a year ago." ”
Concubine Li unhurriedly straightened her clothes and sideburns, "The Ye family is in the middle of the pot, and the palace has to keep an eye on it." ”
Wei Jiashu hurriedly got up and approved Heyu, personally sent Concubine Li out of the main hall, and returned to his west hall.
Ye Cainu was the first child, and the birth was naturally difficult, and she tossed in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace for two days and one night, and finally gave birth successfully in the evening of the second day.
gave birth to a little prince.
This was the fifth son of the emperor.
