Xiyan saw the displeasure in Lu Yuening's expression, and her heart sank. She quickly knelt down and said carefully: "I will never dare to make decisions without permission again. Please punish me."
Lu Yuening swept away the displeased expression before, leaned over to help Xiyan, and said kindly: "I don't mean to blame you. You have been taking care of Fuxiang Palace since Hancui left. I Very satisfied, I will let the emperor reward you."
Xiyan was even more frightened and said tremblingly: "I don't dare. These are what a slave should do and it is my duty."
Lu Yuening said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Well said! My dutyhahahahahahahamy duty" While smiling, he walked towards the study room, leaving only the one who had been kneeling on the ground, shivering with fear. Xi Yan.
Go to the study room.
When Lu Yuening entered the door, he found that no one was in the room. Even the eunuchs and maids waiting on the side did not know where they had gone. Lu Yuening walked to the desk and saw some memorials that had been reviewed and those that had not been reviewed scattered on the desk. , the harem is not allowed to be regent, Lu Yuening knows all this, and he does not dare to be interested in these things. In addition, the matter of Han Cui and Liu Taiyi just happened. If it were not for the Empress Dowager, probably not talking about herself at this time, Lu Yuening The whole family was destroyed because of their stubbornness and indulgence.
Lu Yuening was about to leave when she suddenly saw a few words exposed under a pair of memorials. She pushed the memorials aside curiously and carefully, and saw a painting underneath the memorials, with mountains, water and bridges on it. It seems like Jiangnan in March, there is water under the bridge, and there are lotus flowers in the water. Among the many green leaves, there is only one blooming lotus, which is faintly pink and looks very delicate and fresh.
On the left side of the painting is beautiful running script. Lu Yuening grew up in a scholarly family, and has studied and studied calligraphy since she was a child. However, she has always liked Xiaozhuan very much, probably because Xiaozhuan emphasizes dignity and neatness, which is similar to her own personality, while running script is more indulgent than regular script. It is more restrained than cursive script, some are quiet and some are dynamic, some are complex and some are simple. It is endlessly interesting, and if you want to practice it well, it will not happen overnight, but looking at these words written by the emperor, you know that the emperor spent a lot of time and energy. Very Wang Xizhi's style.
She took a good look at the words written on it and found something interesting. She simply sat down and started reciting: "On the road of mortals, on the meadow of smoke and water, there is a woman, like a lotus flower. She is quiet and elegant, the heart of the water is soft and the bones are not stained. Xianchen, bright and peaceful. Time is silent. Keeping the joy alone, the years are quiet, singing softly, smiling with low eyebrows. The breeze comes naturally."
"What do you think, Yuening?"
Lu Yuening was looking at Rushen when he suddenly heard someone talking next to him. Scared, he quickly raised his head and saw that the emperor had already walked to his side. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he quickly put the poems and paintings in his hands on the desk, stood up, and looked at the smiling emperor in fear.
"I came here to give the emperor some snacks. I really didn't mean to do it" Lu Yuening said and stood up to salute.
The emperor stepped forward and ignored Lu Yuening. Instead, he looked at the things on the table and said, "You haven't answered me when I asked you?"
Lu Yuening thought for a while and said softly: "This is the first time I have seen the emperor's calligraphy and painting. It really opened my eyes."
The emperor was happy and said: "Do you think this calligraphy and painting is good?"
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Lu Yuening felt relieved and was no longer as nervous as before. She smiled and said, "Very good, especially this poem paired with this painting. They complement each other and are very appropriate."
The emperor took Lu Yuening's hand and walked to the desk. This made Lu Yuening feel happy, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The emperor pointed at the calligraphy and painting and said: "I have always felt that I was not very satisfied, but after hearing what you said, I believed it. After all, you are from a scholarly family, so you naturally have your vision and appreciation. Since you agreed , then I feel better."
Hearing what the emperor said, Lu Yuening also said happily: "I wonder who the emperor's calligraphy and painting is about?"
The emperor looked at Lu Yuening. Lu Yuening found a hint of coldness in the emperor's eyes and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He quickly lowered his head.
After a long while, the emperor said: "If I say that I am writing about you, what do you think?"
Lu Yuening did not dare to speak. The emperor snorted and put down Lu Yuening's hand. He sat down alone, picked up the ink pen, took a memorial, and said coldly: "Queen, please go back. I have many memorials to read tonight. You don't have to wait." I."
Lu Yuening was a little confused about the emperor's mood. He seemed very happy just now, but he suddenly turned against him.
"I, my concubine, retire." Lu Yuening had no choice but to bow and salute, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute"
When Lu Yuening heard this, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.Looking back, I quickly turned around and saw that the emperor was still looking at the memorial with his head lowered and said: "I hope you will do what you say. Be careful with your words and deeds. You don't just say it casually."
Lu Yuening was startled. This was what he had promised the emperor after talking with the Empress Dowager. In addition to respect for the emperor, these four words also meant to guard his mouth and not to act easily. The Emperor and the Empress were there to report the Emperor.
"I understand, I will leave." Lu Yuening bit her lip, looked at the emperor who was immersed in reading the memorial, and walked out with a complicated expression as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
After leaving Funing Hall, Lu Yuening did not take the sedan chair, but walked slowly towards his bedroom.
"My Lady, please expose yourself even more. Be careful of catching a cold. It's better for your servants to order the sedan chariot to carry your Lady back." Xi Yan said softly from behind.
Lu Yuening shook her head and said, "Xi Yan, what kind of flowers do you like?"
Xi Yan was puzzled, but she still answered Lu Yuening's words: "Let me go back to my wife, there are flowers in my hometown. Like the slaves, I have a low life and an easy life, so there are such flowers blooming everywhere in our hometown, in various colors." There are all of them, except in winter it is open all year round, but the name is not very nice, it is called the Golden Bell."
Lu Yuening smiled and motioned for Xi Yan to come forward and support her, and then the two of them separated a distance from the palace maid behind them.
"Do you know what I like to say?" Lu Yuening said.
Xiyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty likes lotus, even the emperor knows it." After saying that, Xiyan suddenly felt that what she said was a bit rash, and quickly stopped and knelt down to apologize.
Lu Yuening held up a hand and said: "You are not wrong, it's just that I just saw the calligraphy and painting on clothes on the emperor's desk. The painting was of lotus and the writing was of a woman like a lotus."
After hearing this, Xiyan said happily: "Then the emperor must be talking about you, the empress."
Lu Yuening said with a smile: "Without the nobility of peonies, without the beauty of roses, that woman only wants to be a lotus, wearing a quiet and elegant dress, a touch of a smile and a quiet time, enjoying the pure sky, like the lotus's thoughts , precipitation creates fragrance.¡±
Xiyan couldn't understand what Lu Yuening was saying, so she could only walk slowly with Lu Yuening in silence.
"How could such a woman be me in the heart of the emperor?" Lu Yuening finally said this. After saying it, a drop of cool tears fell on the back of Xi Yan's hand in the night, and Xi Yan's hand trembled slightly. , couldn't help but secretly glance at the eighteen-year-old emperor next to him through the moonlight. Such years should be the most beautiful, but why have he never seen anything in the palace for twenty years? Has a queen ever been happy?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Another month has passed. The first day of April is a good day for the palace draft. This day also happens to be the day when Qiao Heng gives birth.
The Fang family sent someone over early in the morning to invite Fang Jinyan. When Fang Jinyan arrived at the Fang family with Yunduo, Yudiao, Ziyuan and Yuzhu, Qiao Heng had not yet given birth to the child due to dystocia.
Fang Jinyan came directly to Shuangyue Residence under the leadership of Qing'er. Fang Bingde and several ladies were sitting in the main room. The old lady did not come because she was unwell. Dong Yuexi was delegated and grounded again because of Qing'er's matter, and she never had the chance to come out again. , and the rest of the people arrived.
It¡¯s been a long time since she returned to Fang¡¯s house. Fang Jinyan felt that everything was still the same. She didn¡¯t see Fang Ziqing, probably because she was deliberately avoiding it. At this time, Shen Mingyu was not suitable to be present, so Fang Bingde was the only man.
From time to time, shrill screams came from the inner room, and from time to time, slaves and women brought out basins of blood.
After everyone knelt down and saluted Fang Jinyan, they gave up their seats to Fang Jinyan. Fang Jinyan motioned to Yun Duo to go in and take a look. After Yun Duo went in, he saw Yun Duo coming out in a hurry.
"Jin Yan, the fetal position is not correct. We need to find a doctor quickly." Yun Duo said anxiously.
Fang Jinyan looked at Qing'er, who quickly said: "Dr. Zhang, who had been treating patients in our Fang family before, went to the south with his family some time ago. Since then, there has been no regular doctor to treat patients. Previously, he also invited Dr. Wang who is facing the street. , but he brought the medicine boy to the clinic."
Fang Jinyan didn't expect that the Fang family was now so poor that they couldn't even hire a doctor. After thinking about it, she took out her sign from her sleeve and handed it to Ziyuan, saying: "Come to the palace, just say it's my wish, let the palace Find a better doctor here and go quickly."
Ziyuan took the sign and put it in her arms and hurried out. Seeing this, the second lady on the side put on a flattering face and said with a smile: "Jinyan is a popular person in front of the emperor now. I heard that the Queen Mother is now want to give it to youIt's quite thin. "
Fang Shuhe, the daughter of the Second Madam, has now reached the age of marriage. However, because the Fang family is getting worse every year, the Second Madam has never been able to find a suitable family, so she is seventeen years old and there is still no marriage. landing.
Fang Shuhe snorted disdainfully after hearing what her mother said, and said: "Not everyone is as lucky as the fourth sister. Not only does she have a sister who is a princess, but she also has an eldest brother who is a prime minister, and now she is also the emperor's aunt, hum ¡It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t change the Fang family¡¯s surname no matter what, it¡¯s still called Fang Jinyan.¡±
