Chapter IX Sleeper
After rewarding the little servant who sent the message, and some small silver coins to the maid who came up to congratulate her and the servant who ran errands, Yun Fenghuang urged Nian Xuan to take care of her to take a bath, change clothes, and dress up.
Although knowing that Emperor Chunjia had to name him to serve his bed, he might not be in a good mood...
But everyone has a love of beauty, maybe the emperor is not very happy to come here, and his heart softens when he sees his beautiful appearance?
She is more confident in her appearance!
Furthermore, although there is an unspoken rule in the palace that low-ranking concubines are usually promoted after serving in bed, Yun Fenghuang has only met Emperor Chunjia after all, and is not very clear about the emperor's character: what if he came? But he deliberately found fault, asking himself the guilt of the emperor's disrespect and poor service, what should he do if he was demoted from the Huzhu Palace?
Of course, this possibility is not high. After all, Empress Dowager Ji has just finalized the "fact" that Concubine Yue is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate newcomers. Emperor Chunjia has no right to contradict the empress dowager right now.
But Yun Fenghuang still packs it up dutifully, so as not to fall short and make another twists and turns.
So in the evening, Emperor Chunjia was surrounded by his servants to Xi Xingxuan, and what he saw was a girl with the utmost beauty and beauty, prostrating under the lamp like a delicate flower shining in the water, a weak willow supporting the wind... Although the young emperor was born into wealth and was used to seeing all kinds of colors since he was a child, he also had a quick glimpse of this precious forest in the Ningbi Hall before, and now he subconsciously held his breath for a moment before nodding his head slightly: "Let's be flat!"
The tone is very kind, the kind of kindness that adults look at naughty children, not like there is any dissatisfaction or anger.
As for whether this performance is based on seeing Yun Fenghuang's young age or not wanting to offend the Empress Dowager Ji... Yun Fenghuang doesn't care, anyway, just confirm that this person doesn't intend to embarrass himself, at least he doesn't intend to embarrass himself on the scene.
She immediately stood up straight and smiled at Emperor Chunjia: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"How old is Baolin?" Emperor Chunjia really didn't mean to blame him, he walked slowly inside and took a seat, waved his hand to let Yun Fenghuang sit down, and said with a light smile, "I see that you are similar to Minghui."
"The concubine is one year older than the princess." Princess Minghui is the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager Ji, the only direct bloodline of the late emperor, and has a sense of presence in the front and rear palaces. Yun Fenghuang had heard of this princess when he first came to the imperial capital. He immediately said, "On the way from Yanfu Palace to Mianfu Palace, Sister Concubine Shu also mentioned Her Royal Highness, saying that His Highness is beautiful, gentle and dignified. Unfortunately, I only met my mother, the Empress Dowager, in Mianfu Palace today. , I have no chance to see His Highness's celestial appearance."
Emperor Chunjia was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then smiled lightly: "Kunze was greedy yesterday, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I woke up this morning. Minghui went to see her with Jinyun and Penglai, so she is not here. Usually she always Those who are in Mianfu Palace will naturally meet when we go to pay respects to Empress Ji in the future."
The Kunze he was talking about was Princess Kunze, the former posthumous daughter of King Fuyang, and the half-sister of Emperor Chunjia. Princess Kunze's biological mother died of a blood collapse after giving birth. Empress Dowager Yuan, who was still a concubine at the time, had already raised Emperor Chunjia. Maybe she was impatient to raise this concubine daughter, or maybe it was to make up for the debt of taking the child from Empress Dowager Qu's lap. In short, she was handed over to Queen Mother Qu to be raised.
After Emperor Chunjia came to the throne, both his aunt and birth mother came to the capital to be the empress dowager, so she couldn't leave the younger sister, who couldn't speak clearly at the time, in Fuyang County, so they brought them here together and became the princess.
The princess is eleven years old this year. She grew up with the late emperor's three biological daughters, Princess Minghui, Princess Jinyun and Princess Penglai, and their relationship has always been good. She ate badly, so it's no wonder that the three princesses went to visit together.
Although he is not very interested in this princess who lives in seclusion with Queen Mother Qu and basically has little presence in the harem, since Emperor Chunjia mentioned it, Yun Fenghuang immediately expressed concern and asked: "Kunze The princess is not feeling well? Does it matter if I don’t know?"
"The imperial doctor has seen it, and said it's nothing serious." Emperor Chunjia smiled, "It's just that Empress Qumu pissed her off for a while, and told her not to be so greedy in the future..."
He vividly imitated the scene of Princess Kunze coquettishly begging for mercy, which made Yun Fenghuang cover his mouth and smile coquettishly, and the waiters on the left and right showed a look of restraint even though they were afraid of losing their composure in front of the imperial court.
The atmosphere in Xi Xingxuan suddenly became relaxed. Emperor Chunjia seemed to value the younger sisters very much. Now he talked about some interesting stories about the younger sisters like a few treasures. Before he knew it, he talked about the princesses' schoolwork and asked Yun casually Can Feng Huang play chess?
Although Yun Fenghuang is not the real blood of the Yun family, she is also from a family of noble ladies, so she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Emperor Chunjia became interested when he heard the words, rolled up his sleeves and ordered someone to put it on the chessboard: "I will test you."
To be honest, the emperor's chess skills are very mediocre, Yun Fenghuang feels that if he shows his true skills, he will kill him in minutes... But she still has a bit of conscience, and even if she is a puppet, she is a ninety-five supreme being, and treats her kindly Annoyed, there's no point deliberately trying to keep the emperor from stepping down in front of a bunch of waiters, right?
Besides, it wouldn't do her any good either.
She is not a talent from the previous dynasty. She wants to show her true talents and learning to Emperor Chunjia, so she is a concubine in the emperor's heart. It is a serious thing to be jealous and actively fight in the palace.
So Yun Fenghuang restrained his true level and deliberately let himself be at a disadvantage.
Emperor Chunjia settled down slowly, and asked her casually, for example, what have you learned at home, are you used to entering the palace, what are your personal hobbies, do you miss your parents... His attitude is very Yun Fenghuang, who was not nervous in the first place, was more relaxed and casual, and could answer whatever he wanted, and even casually mentioned a few words: "Over there in the North..."
Hearing Nian Xuan's uneasy cough, he added as if to make up, "I heard from someone in my family who has been to the Northland."
"Huh? It's this hour?" Emperor Chunjia didn't know if he heard the flaw, smiled, threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, glanced at the copper leak in the corner, "place it."
The words came suddenly, even if Yun Fenghuang could hold his breath, he couldn't help being a little startled, subconsciously exerted force on the fingers holding the chess piece, the fingertips showed a bit of blue color, and his eyes were a little erratic.
She was distracted, but Emperor Chunjia had already stood up and walked towards the inner room first.
The left and right hurriedly signaled Yun Fenghuang to follow with winks.
After the two of them entered together, the waiters were waiting to come forward to serve them, but they were waved back by Emperor Chunjia, who was standing in front of the luan head hanger with the openwork carved huanghuali flower patterns of four seasons, seeing this, he hurriedly closed the door.
Immediately, there were only two people left in the not-so-big inner room. Under the green gauze lamp, the young emperor stood tall and tall, his face seemed to be shining brightly, he was tall and clean, and he had a graceful demeanor.
After all, Yun Fenghuang was young and inexperienced, so even though he had been mentally prepared, he was unavoidably at a loss at this moment.
Gathering his mind, he saw Emperor Chunjia with his hands behind his back, turned his head sideways, and looked at himself with a half-smile.
She lowered her head instinctively, then raised it immediately, and stepped forward with a chuckle: "I am serving Your Majesty to change clothes."
And then...then Yun Baolin, who prided himself on being smart and quick-witted, spent a whole cup of tea and couldn't even untie Emperor Chunjia's belt.
There is no way, a spoiled young lady like her has always been served, when has she ever served someone else to change clothes?
In particular, Emperor Chunjia is an emperor, even if he is wearing ordinary clothes today, he should be particular about how he should wear them. The dazzling array of accessories alone is enough to make her dizzy, but the night is already dark, and needles can be heard quietly in the inner room. The two of them were still standing so close, they could feel their breathing, and the masculine aura rushing toward them had distracted Yun Fenghuang frequently, and Emperor Chunjia was a lot taller than her, so he took advantage of this advantage to look down at him leisurely. she.
The probing and thoughtful look in that gaze made Yun Fenghuang feel like a light on his back, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
"Forget it, let me do it myself." Probably because he really couldn't see her clumsiness, Emperor Chunjia finally opened his mouth, and he took off his robe in three steps, his movements were neat and his expression was leisurely, but Yun Fenghuang caught a glimpse of a piece of redness. When he was in the chest, he hurriedly turned around, twisted his clasped hands, and was trying to calmly consider what he should do next, but he heard Emperor Chunjia's helpless tone, "Why? Your own dress is not meeting?"
Yun Fenghuang was so embarrassed that she was about to deny it, but who knew that the emperor had already walked over and helped her take off her dress again with quick movements and a calm expression...
The next day it was dawn, and Emperor Chunjia shook Bao Lin beside him awake without the waiter reminding him, and said softly, "It's time to get up."
"...Well." Yun Fenghuang, who had been tossed for most of the night, finally fell asleep for a while, and the first reaction after waking up was to lose his temper. He simply used the thick gauze lantern used for getting up at night to see the face close at hand. Finally regained his sanity in time, paused, and sat up enduring the discomfort in his body, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all, she was sleepy, and after thanking her, she forgot to go around the end of the couch according to the palace rules, and she just planned to climb over Emperor Chunjia's body with her hands and feet... Emperor Chunjia looked at her action, showing a look of irony and laughter , Xu had a good night last night, taking advantage of the situation, he hugged him into his arms and kissed him, comforting him: "Don't worry, the empress is tolerant, even if you go late, it's fine."
It's fine if he doesn't mention the queen, but when he mentions the queen, Yun Fenghuang is startled, and disappears in an instant when he dozes off. He hastily broke away from his arms and jumped to the ground!
Emperor Chunjia: "..."
Did I hurt His Majesty's self-esteem too much by doing this?
Seeing the speechless look on the emperor's face, Yun Fenghuang reflected deeply: After all, he is the lord of a country, and the newly promoted concubines are far less in awe of him than the empress... this?
Forget it, this year is Chunjia's seven years, the emperor must have gotten used to it!
Simply, she quickly found a reason to excuse herself. You see, he didn't even frown, let alone angry!
Either the emperor has been used to it for a long time, or he doesn't care at all... Well, in short, her subconscious actions just now are nothing, right?
Convincing himself happily, Yun Fenghuang went outside and called Nian Xuan to come in to tidy up for him, and told her in a low voice to use the few pieces of jewelry that the queen gave her yesterday.
The intention to please the queen can be said to be very obvious.
Emperor Chunjia not far away: "..."
