Chou Shi's bangle rang, and the heavy palace door of Yongshou Palace quietly unlatched.
Yifei sat in front of the dressing table with her hair as loose as clouds. While slowly combing her long hair with the pearl-embedded ivory comb in her hand, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face in the mirror remained as beautiful as ever for ten years. No trace was left on her face.
Thinking of what happened during the day, a layer of sadness clouded her face. She spent a long time dressing up in front of the mirror, her body seemed to be fixed on the stool, and she didn't move at all for a long time. She didn't even know when the emperor came out of the clean room.
When the maid next to her reminded her quietly, she woke up as if from a dream. She quickly put down the comb in her hand and hurried to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty." She took the kerchief from the palace attendant's hand and twisted the Emperor's hair herself. The kerchief was scented with the Emperor's usual purple incense. When wiping his hair, it would be smeared on the Emperor's body. This is the unique incense of the royal family. The technique is natural and light, and the fragrance lasts for a long time without leaving any trace.
She has been smelling this fragrance for twenty years. From the first time they met in Yunyin Academy, to the later Wei Palace, and even now the Yongshou Palace, wherever this man is, this fragrance has lingered everywhere. There is a fragrance that seems to be absent.
After wiping her hair dry, Concubine Yi began to gently comb the emperor's hair with her slender fingers. After having been together for twenty years, most of her thoughts were focused on this man. She knew exactly how to please this man. After doing it, the emperor's tense shoulders relaxed after a while.
"Your Majesty." She gently pressed her fingers on the back of the Emperor's neck, and slowly pushed down along the protruding joints. This is the method taught by Yu Ruoshui to push the meridians and activate the meridians, which can best calm the mind and improve eyesight.
"What you said to Eunuch Mi just now is true. Is it possible that the prince really fell in love with Ayuan?" Seeing that the emperor's face was pleasant and he was obviously in a good mood, she couldn't hold it back and asked what she had been thinking about for the past few days. Questions asked.
Nothing in the palace could be hidden from the emperor's eyes, but she only got the news in the past two days. The news shocked her so much that she was eager to seek confirmation from the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were half-squinted, his mood was as gentle and steady as she expected, and he just snorted, "What? Are you not satisfied with this child?"
Concubine Yi forced a smile, "How could it be? Qin Zheng, a general of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion for hundreds of years, is an unparalleled hero. Even Mrs. Qin is a noble daughter of a noble family. She has a father and a mother, so A Yuan is not an insult. The identity of the Crown Princess. Just"
She carefully paid attention to the emperor's expression and said tentatively: "It's just that his temperament is a bit timid. In terms of calmness and experience, he is a bit inferior to Miss Wang Si from Wang Shangshu's family who you took a photo of last time. As you said, the selection of the Crown Princess is related to the state, does this matter still need to be discussed?"
The emperor opened his eyes, "Is the fourth Miss Wang the one whose maiden name is Wang Yingning?"
Concubine Yi said with a smile: "My name is not Wang Yingning! That child is really outstanding. He is very good-looking, generous and quiet in his actions, and he is sure-footed in everything. He makes people like him just by looking at him. I remember you asked Wang Weiting about it last time. Once, I heard that Wang Shangshu was also very willing, and I thought that I would definitely settle on Miss Wang, but why didn¡¯t anything happen again?"
The emperor glanced at Concubine Yi and saw her beaming. He shook his head in surprise and said with a smile, "You, you, I know you treat the prince sincerely, so you are so concerned about his marriage, but you are too impatient. .¡±
Concubine Yi's face stiffened slightly, and then she showed a sad expression, "Sister Ah Hui died early, leaving only one child, Youlang. Even if I don't want to share the emperor's worries, I just want to be with Ah Hui back then." The friendship between classmates who are studying at Yunyin Academy also means that they care for and care for the prince with all their heart and soul. "
The emperor sighed, looked at Concubine Yi and nodded: "You have done extremely well over the years. I know it is not easy for you."
Concubine Yi's eyes turned red and she lowered her eyes to accept the affirmation, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. This is what I should do. As long as Your Majesty doesn't mind that I am overstepping my bounds, that's fine."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of answering, Concubine Yi tied up the emperor's hair again. The topic still lingered on the selection of the crown prince, "Your Majesty, although you said that you want the marriages of several children to be mutually agreeable, but the prince is too Young, young people like them don¡¯t have much personality. It¡¯s true that he likes Miss Qin right now, but maybe he will be indifferent to Qin Yuan when he meets another girl next year. If you let his temperament, match him with a The life of the charming Crown Princess will be unsatisfactory in the future. In my opinion, it would be better to take advantage of this autumn hunting trip to let the Crown Prince have more contact with the children in the academy. After some time, he will My heart has not changed, and I still won¡¯t marry Qin Yuan, so it won¡¯t be too late for you to agree to him.¡±
The emperor waved his hand, "I don't know about others, but that Wang Yingning is obviously dying. I heard that Wang Shangshu arranged two marriages for her when she was a child. Both marriages were just after the marriage ceremony was exchanged, and the husband died. . Because of this, her littlePalace, I can¡¯t help but feel happy.
When I returned home from Dongshi in the evening, I was on the carriage thinking about what kind of meals Lin Xiao would like to eat tomorrow. Although Aunt Wen had always taken care of these things, it would be a different matter if she could put some of her own thoughts into it.
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that when I came home last time, I seemed to have eaten a few more pieces of the fish bream cooked by my mother. I thought to myself that I might as well go back to Ning early tomorrow morning, ask my mother for advice on how to make it, come back, and cook it for Lin Xiao in the evening. .
Thinking about this happily, I returned to Suruzhai and had just changed my clothes. Suddenly, the maids in the courtyard greeted me with a chorus of greetings: "Your Majesty."
She was stunned and rushed to the window to take a look outside. Sure enough, she caught a glimpse of a tall white figure walking through the camellia bushes and walking quickly towards the steps.
A smile suddenly appeared on Qin Yao¡¯s face from the bottom of her heart. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao came back one day early.
She couldn¡¯t wait a moment, so she picked up her skirt and went out to greet him.
As soon as she left the inner room, she bumped into a solid chest, and her nose was filled with the all-too-familiar clean smell. She ignored the pain, looked up at Lin Xiao with a smile and said, "Why are you back today?"
Lin Xiao held Qin Yao's arms, lowered his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go hunting in the autumn with Uncle Huang, and I will come home to pick you up."
