The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 564

Shuang Ruo brought four maids in the palace to refill the dishes, then nodded and retreated. On the dining table stood four plates of crystal clear dumplings wrapped in dough.

There was a three-flavored dish of vinegar, ginger water, and red oil beside him. The emperor opened the chopsticks without saying a word, put a dumpling over the three dishes of sauce, and the juice filled the tip of his tongue the moment he bit the dough. He paused for a moment and asked: " I remember that you don't eat mutton, why is this plate made of mutton, sunflower and onion?"

Looking at the plate of dumplings, Wan Lai recalled the period when she first met the emperor and rushed to make meals for the emperor every day.

At that time, Wan Lai always took what he liked as his favorite, even if it was mutton that made him feel tired and disgusting after smelling it, he was willing to cook it himself.

When the friendship is strong, even life and death are ignored, let alone a mere smell?

It's just that today's dumplings are not all made by myself.

As for the dumplings stuffed with mutton, sunflower and scallions, Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo secretly prepared them.

Your Majesty would like to have this one, each palace has their own preparations for the winter solstice, just waiting for the Emperor to come and sit in the palace for a while.

She understood that Yunchan and Shuangruo were all for her, so she put away her resistance to the emperor in her heart, and smiled deliberately: "Since the emperor likes it, I will prepare it early."

"The state affairs are busy, what if I don't come today?" While speaking, the emperor took another chopstick.

Xu thought it was delicious, so he let out a few bajis in spite of etiquette.

"If you don't come, you have to ask someone to send it to the emperor." Seeing the vinegar stains on the corners of the emperor's lips, Wanyu took a plain towel to wipe the stains off for him, and joked: "It's just that the emperor is accompanied by Mrs. Chen. Chen Guiren is the most thoughtful, and she has a pair of dexterous hands. I am afraid that she can suit your wishes for whatever delicacies the emperor wants to eat, but on the contrary, it seems that the concubine is incompetent."

The emperor picked out a plate of clear vinegar, and looked at Wan Yu with a smile on his face: "Although clear vinegar is sour, it can't match Wan'er's full of jealousy. Nizi is young, but she thinks it is fresh, how can her favors compare with Wan'er's?" ?”

Wan Lai just listens to it and doesn't go into it.

After serving the emperor for dinner, he thought he would leave right away, but unexpectedly, he took off his boots and sat cross-legged on the warm seat, calling Wannai to chat with her for a while.

Sitting side by side with each other and gossiping about family affairs was the most common thing in the past, but now the person in front of him is still the same as before, but when he looks at him, the feeling in his heart is definitely not as good as before.

The emperor asked a question, and she answered, saying that the words were sweet, but it really felt like she was taking public rations to deal with an errand.

There was a sound of rustling and playing outside the Ling window, Wanyu opened a corner of the Ling window and looked out, and saw that Yin was building snow dolls in the courtyard under the protection of a group of palace servants.

It was freezing in the snow, and Wannai shouted through the window: "The snow water is quite humid, but it is hoped that the ten princes will not be infected with the wind and cold."

After all, You Jinli was relieved to look after Wanyu, seeing the children happily playing, he couldn't help but smile on his lips.

"It's been a long time since I saw you smile so heartily. It's like meeting me for the first time in the past."

"First meeting." Wanyu's eyes suddenly dawned, as if all the scenes from the past had appeared before her eyes, vividly: "Before I knew it, my concubine and the emperor had been together for nearly twenty years."

"Yeah, these days go by really fast." The emperor clenched Wannai's hand, and looked at Yin kindly in the direction of the opening of the Ling window: "Our child is now four years old."

After he finished speaking, he called the palace servants to bring Yin inside.

Yin was very obedient, and was very kind when he saw the emperor, so Anbi yelled and shrank into the emperor's arms, pouted and said, "Huang Ama hasn't come to see my son for a long time."

The emperor pinched his chubby face, and said with a smile, "Did Yin miss Huang Ama?"

"I always miss it, so does Erniang." Yin's black eyes turned to look at Wanyu: "A few days ago, Erniang was crying while playing the piano at night. My son secretly asked Aunt Shuangruo, and the aunt said that Erniang missed the emperor." Damn."

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wanyu blushed for a while, and pulled Yin from the emperor's arms to her side, half embarrassingly said: "Quickly stop pestering your Huang Ama, it's so easy for Huang Ama to be busy with state affairs Rest for half a day, it's all for you to make troubles on weekdays, you need to be more sensible, understand?"

Yin solemnly nodded, and smiled heartily: "I understand that my mother loves Huang Ama, and my son also loves Huang Ama."

Seeing his half-adult appearance, Wannai and the emperor couldn't laugh or cry.

Wanyu held Yin's slightly cold hand, frowned slightly and ordered Jinli: "Don't take Elder Brother Shi to play wild in the snow, take it down and soak your hands in warm water, isn't Yun Chan the previous one?" Have you made a new pair of brocade gloves? If you want to play any more, you have to get them and wear them, how can you get frostbite?"

Jinli responded to Wanyan's words, and hurriedly took Yin back.

When all the people in the palace had dispersed, the emperor would definitely look at Wanyu, making her a little uncomfortable.

She dodged her eyes so that she could avoid the emperor's gaze: "Why does the emperor look at the concubine like this?"

"You are allowed to come and go freely in front of the emperor. If you think about me, you will come. Why do you feel hurt in the palace? I just heard Yin's words, and my heart is going to be broken."

Wan Lai was taken aback for a moment: "So it was. It was because I was afraid of disturbing the emperor. The previous court was busy, and the emperor had Chen Guiren to serve him, and the concubines risked losing, but they didn't know how to deal with themselves."

The emperor sighed slightly, took Wanyan's arm and hugged her in his arms, and said infinitely tenderly: "If you are jealous, I will seldom see her. If you still have scruples, just say a word, and I will stop talking to her." .”

With an extremely unnatural expression, Wan Yu gently pushed the emperor away, shook her head and said, "Such a concubine can't become a jealous woman? It's really disgraceful."

The emperor smiled, his eyes were locked on the Yaoqin placed on the yellow pear wood table, and he said with great interest: "Wan'er and I met at the beginning, and the song Feng Qiuhuang touched my heart deeply. Now that I think about it, Zhuo Lan's Yueqin has been heard a lot. It's been a long time since I heard you play a song. I'll play it for you when I'm free. I'll protect you from the side, and I'll punish you for making you cry. "

Wanyu didn't want to play at first, but the emperor insisted, so she could only comply.

Once the song falls, the skills are still there, but the friendship is not as good as before.

The emperor still said it was wonderful, he couldn't restrain himself for a while, so Da Heng carried Wan Lai into the bedroom, and slowly lowered the gauze curtain.

He definitely felt in his heart that the rift between himself and Wanyu was nothing more than a trivial matter.

He is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the most powerful man in the world, so how can any woman not fall in love with him?

Even if it is a noisy disturbance, it will pass after a few words of coaxing.

However, no matter what, he never imagined that what Yin saw Wan Lai playing the piano and weeping late at night did not play a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", but a song "Luan Mei Yao".

This piece was learned from Qin Niang when she was in the mansion, and it was also the first complete piece she played in her life.

At that time, she was young and romantic, in the courtyard of the mansion, under the ten-mile moonlight, she played the piano, Yide sang songs, and Shen Ye played fists and martial arts to add to the fun.

Only now did Wanyu realize that those days were the happiest and most comfortable in her life.
