The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 4 Bathing
The maid left, and Yu Ci finished the papaya porridge.

Azhu and Hongyu told her the news they got in today's communication, and the three of them discussed for a while, but they couldn't come up with any good countermeasures.Seeing that it was getting late, they each took off their jewelry and got ready to go to bed.

After washing up, I heard a clear voice from outside, shouting: "See you, Jun is here!"

The three of them looked at each other with some doubts.It sounded like it was reported to the palace on their side, but they had just been herded for sheep, and hearing the wolf coming always felt like a prank.

Yu Ci couldn't help having a headache, and Ah Zhu was also dissatisfied and said, "What are you bothering about?"

Hongyu swallowed her saliva and asked, "Could it be the door next door?"

Yu Ci shook her head, got up and put on her clothes, and said annoyedly, "Where is there a neighbor here? Whether it's true or not, go out and have a look."

She knew that seeing Jun got angry at Mingxiu Palace tonight, even if she was playing with them this time, she had better go out obediently.Children in the rebellious period of youth have been tortured, and they have to find other ways to vent to other places, and sooner or later there will be problems in their hearts-it's okay for other children to hold back, but it's a big bad thing if the emperor becomes abnormal.

But obviously Ah Zhu didn't think so, she pulled La Yuci's sleeves, her almond eyes were watery, "Ma'am, you should be promising."If he welcomes her out, she will definitely be looked down upon by him, and will definitely be bullied even more in the future. "

Hongyu also hesitated and said: "Madam, he should have gone outside the hall by the sound of the voice, and it must be too late for you to dress up now." ——When she was at home, she was punished for answering the door wearing a middle coat, and she knew it well How much people value appearance.

Yu Ci combed her hair, tied it in a small bun, and said, "If you don't want to come out, hide in the back room." As she said that, she opened the door and went out.

Azhu Hongyu hesitated for a moment, then got up and went to the ear room.

When Yu Ci arrived in the hall, the maids were still flustered, as if they were in an emergency in the army.Yu Ci generally knew that when Emperor Yu Ci was in the same room, there were many rules for the court ladies to serve. It’s fine as usual. Open the door to welcome you, don’t run around anymore.”

The maids are quite adaptable. Hearing what Yu Ci said, they stood up quickly.

After lighting the palace lanterns, red candles, and incense, the palace door finally opened.

With two maids holding lamps leading the way, Yu Ci stepped out.

Although she decided to accommodate Jian Jun tonight, she was teased once and said that she was lying if she didn't lose her temper.She is not someone who can express her happiness and anger on her face. She looks gentle and casual on weekdays, but sometimes she is not angry and pretentious.

She walked out of the main hall with her head held high, without any makeup or bead rings, her dark cloud-like black hair was tied loosely behind her waist.The majestic palace behind her is thick and majestic in the dark night, her figure is thin and slender, and the palace lanterns surround her like little fireflies.

But she has a dignified and elegant demeanor, and she walks gracefully, like the most noble woman stepping into the most solemn place with the most beautiful makeup.Like the most gorgeous flowers bloom in the coolest season.

She didn't want to be looked down upon by Jian Jun again.

Seeing Jun looking at her, there was no guard of honor around him, nor too many attendants, only Yang Chao stood by his side holding a lamp.

He watched Yu Ci walk down step by step.He remembered that when they got married, Yu Ci was wearing Ah Feng's wedding dress, with a red hijab with tassels hanging from the four corners on her head, holding red silk in her hand, walking towards him shyly with lotus steps.At that time, he was thinking, so what if you are the granddaughter of an important court official?So what if it's Yuci?Now that it has fallen into my hands, it is not up to me to be happy.

But today when he saw Yu Ci walking towards him, he had the illusion that she was going to come down and teach him a lesson.Thinking of the anger he received from A-Lin just now, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and told himself: He can bear a lowly maidservant, this person is his concubine anyway, so why can't he bear it.

Yu Ci stopped in front of him, the two of them looked at each other, for a moment they stared at each other with their own thoughts, but for a moment neither of them spoke.

It was Yu Ci's attitude that softened first, with a smile on her face, Yingying bowed down and said: "Welcome Your Majesty."

Seeing that Jun also cooperated, he immediately smiled and supported her forearm, and said: "People say that the cloth skirt is not less beautiful, and the concubine does not wear makeup, and it becomes more and more charming."

Yu Ci replied: "There is no time to modify it in a hurry, please forgive me. It is cool outside the hall, let's go into the house first."

Seeing that she answered perfectly, Jun Jun said again: "I'm a little tired tonight, and I want to bother you, so I can rest here for the night."

Yu Ci nodded with a smile, and asked, "Can you tell them to prepare hot water so that Jian Jun can take a bath to relieve fatigue?"

Jian Jun said: "Alright."

The two held hands, talking and laughing as they walked into the hall, enjoying themselves together, not like a teenager resenting their spouse, but like an old couple.

After the two entered the hall, they exchanged dry greetings for a while, and then a eunuch came to report that the clear pool in the back hall of the Shoucheng Hall had been replaced with hot water.

Only then did Jian Jun get up and go into the back room to change clothes.

He didn't bring any attendants, so Yu Ci took the maid to help him undress himself.

She had never met Jian Jun formally before, but when she stood side by side and watched carefully today, she realized that Jian Jun was actually half a head shorter than her, with a childish look on his face, and she didn't blame Azhu for calling him "little boy" See Jun".What's more, all emotions are written in her eyes, and her face is pretending, just like her delicate and awkward sister.The heart that originally wanted to teach him a lesson softened in such an instant.Thinking that although he is the emperor, he lost his mother when he was six years old and his father when he was 12 years old, and I felt a little pity for him.

It's already autumn, but Jian Jun's clothes are not warm, only a silver-blue embroidered satin four-ball dragon robe on the outside, and a silk jacket on the inside.Yu Ci helped him take off the dragon robe, and when she pinched his arm, she felt that the silk was so thin that it seemed to be nothing. She was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she took her spare cloak from the barrier and wrapped it around him. A wrap.

Then he took the tray from the maid again, and said, "It's easy to get dizzy when you take a bath on an empty stomach. This is rose dew and honey mixed with hot water. It's good for warming up and relieving fatigue. See Jun, take a sip before taking a bath."

Seeing that Jun didn't answer, he only gave her a strange look.Yu Ci met his eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then felt funny after thinking about it for a while, took a spoonful, tasted it herself, and said: "It's not hot, it's just right for your mouth."

Seeing that Jun seemed to come back to his senses only now, he took the bowl and drank it dry in one gulp, then turned his head and said, "I don't like sweet drinks."

Yu Ci glanced at the bottom of the empty bowl, thinking, this child is also considerate and straightforward.

Seeing Jun wrapped his cloak again, he said, "Come and wash with me."

Yu Ci almost choked on her own saliva, and hurriedly said, "It's not convenient for my concubine today."

The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and seeing Jun's skin was white, Yu Ci could clearly see that his earlobes turned from white to red, so red that they were about to bleed.He couldn't help smiling, but then he heard Jun say arrogantly: "Then wait for me to take a bath!"

Yu Ci sighed, and said, "Let me go and change clothes."

Yu Ci went back to her room and took off her usual clothes, leaving a middle coat and a back covering.Then he pulled his hair up high and went back to Qingchi Hall.

There are four draperies and screens in the hall, and in the middle is a pool three feet wide and five feet long. It was the bathing pool built by Emperor Taizong for Yuan Chunyuci. It was supposed to bring hot springs from Xishan, but Yuan Chunyuci said that he had been fighting for years. The people are exhausted, and they should not waste their money again for her comfort alone, so the water diversion project was temporarily stopped.

Later, Emperor Gaozong ordered people to build a water furnace in the backyard. When bathing, hot water could be temporarily boiled.A partition is built on the water heater, and some medicinal herbs and flowers for relieving fatigue are often placed in it, so the hot water flowing out has medicinal effects and fragrance.

Although Xie Ci is not obsessed with cleanliness, she still takes a shower once a day.She always felt that it was unreasonable to waste a pool of water in a shower, and she never came back after using it once.It's just that it's not easy for the emperor to soak the wooden barrels, so he ordered people to use the Qingchi Hall.

Nine bright lamps were lit on each side of Qingchi Hall, but the vision was still a bit blurred due to the smog.

When Yu Ci came to the edge of the pool, she only saw a dark shadow sneaking in the water like a fish. It swam to her side, and suddenly reached out to grab her ankle and popped out.

Jian Jun wiped the water off his face, brushed his hair back, raised his head and smiled at her, "Take a soft blanket and sit down here."

The order was given as a matter of course, Yu Ci was amused in her heart, so she ordered someone to fetch a soft blanket, took off her shoes, pulled her lower skirt to her knees, and sat down with her legs and feet in the water.

Jian Jun's hair is very long, and the part that enters the water floats enchantingly, like a weed.He has just grown up at this age, and his appearance is a bit unidentifiable, his skin is white and fine like jade, soaked in the water wet, his appearance is unexpectedly beautiful.It's just that the eyes are too domineering and fierce.

He held Miu Ci's calf, and felt his hand was slippery, and the touch was wonderful, and he couldn't help feeling a little fluttering, and couldn't help but touch it down, and took hold of Miu Ci's foot.

Yu Ci thought that he could not stand firmly in the water, so she gave him a hand and said, "Hold on to the edge of the pool, don't drag me down."

She was puzzled by the amorous feelings, and seeing Jun couldn't help being disappointed, she looked up critically at her, and said, "Why do you dress so old-fashioned?"

The back is made of mulberry-yellow round neck and made of cotton, so it naturally looks less luxurious.But Miu Ci didn't want to dress well either, she had a wardrobe of clothes, and this one looked cheap enough to be wasted, so she wore it.

So he smiled and said: "Clothes made of other materials are not resistant to hot water, and they may be damaged by soaking."

Jian Jun frowned and said, "You were born in the Taifu's house and married into my palace, why can't you even part with a piece of clothing?"

Yuci smiled and said, "I'm not reluctant, it's not necessary."

Jian Jundao: "Anyway, it's not easy to say that it's not easy for the common people to harvest crops."

Yu Ci pushed him with a smile, and said, "Aren't you tired of hearing these principles? Turn around and I'll rub your back."

Seeing the change in Jun's face, he paused and ordered: "You wash my hair for me."

Although Yu Ci was puzzled, she still smiled and said, "Okay."

Jian Jun's hair looked black and smooth, but when he touched it in his hand and looked closely, it was a little withered and yellow.Xie Ci held it in her hand, she felt entangled everywhere, and it was not easy to straighten it out for a while.

She first took out the saponins, rubbed his hair roots, and gently massaged him for a while.The saponins she used were all prepared by Azhu, with milk and egg whites added to it, which was much softer than the ones distributed by the inner court, and did not irritate the skin so much.She didn't leave any nails on her hands, and she massaged gently. Seeing Jun, she felt extremely comfortable, and faintly fell asleep.

Yu Ci helped him apply soap locust twice, and felt that his hair was a little smoother, so she washed off the foam and slowly smoothed him out with a comb.

She always felt that there was something wrong in her heart. It is said that Jun Jun was taken care of well on weekdays, but the poor hair quality was clearly the result of a congenital defect and an acquired defect.

Can't help but ask: "Jian Jun can't sleep well at night?"

I felt abrupt when I asked, and sure enough, seeing Jun's body stiffened, the tone of his answer became sharper: "There is a good assistant outside, and a worthy queen inside, how can I not sleep well?"

Yu Ci knew that these two things were pimples in his heart, and he would inevitably get angry when he mentioned them, so he didn't answer.He only smiled and supported his head, and said: "Don't move, be careful to pull your hair."

Jian Jun was also muffled and silent, and honestly let Yuci play with him.

Yu Ci smoothed out his hair, and said, "I'm done washing, but do you really need me to rub your back?"

Jian Jun dived into the water, swam a step away, and said, "Why are you so wordy."

Yu Ci couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that Jun was hiding away, he turned his head with his arms folded again, and said, "You just said, it's not that you don't want to part with it, it's that it's unnecessary. I have something to do now, you can see if it's necessary to spend money."

Xie Ci looked at his posture as if he was about to teach someone a lesson, but with an awkward expression and twinkling eyes, he was still a pretending child.Then he smiled and cooperated and said, "Please tell me when you see Jun."

On the contrary, seeing Jun was silent for a long time, after some kind of psychological struggle, he said: "Xiuyi from Mingxiu Palace speaks out and advises, and I have already praised her."

When he mentioned Xiaolin, Yu Cilue thought about it and guessed that the words he had passed to Yang Chao had played a role.

When the palace lady came to report back, she clearly said that she was furious when she saw Jun Leiting.But Jian Jun was able to come to Shoucheng Palace in a blink of an eye, perform qin and se harmony with her, and even take the initiative to mention Lin Jiaer's matter for her to reward. It seems that Jian Jun is not as impulsive and naive as she thought.

Yu Ci couldn't help but smiled wryly in her heart, she was too careless, she didn't see anything wrong from Jian Jun's expression.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jun Jun smiled and said, "Oh, yes, Yuci doesn't know about it yet. When I went to Mingxiu Palace, Lin Xiuyi refused to drive behind closed doors, saying that it was the family law of my ancestors. Today I will have sex with Yuci. I want you to be sympathetic to your concubine. He also said that there is no small matter in the heavenly family, and the harmony between the emperor and empress is the blessing of the whole country."

Yu Ci personally has no gratitude to Lin Jiaer, let alone think she should.It was just that Jian Jian stared at her with burning eyes, clearly intending to test her, so he smiled and said: "Jian Jun thinks she deserves the reward, so naturally I have to reward her."

Jian Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then if I think she should be killed, will Yu Ci kill her too?"

Yu Ci was taken aback, and said seriously: "Naturally, it is to encourage the good and not the evil."

Jian Jun snorted coldly, "You Ci is really tight."

Miu Ci knew that he was really angry, and she didn't like this kind of tone of voice, and she was not in the mood to continue to accompany her, so she said "I dare not".After finishing speaking, he took the towel from the maid, dried his legs and feet, put on his socks and shoes, got up and saluted, "If you see that Jun can't use me anymore, I'll go back to the house first."

Seeing that Jun was upset, he waved her away.

Yu Ci went back to the bedroom, sat on the soft couch under the window for a while, reading a book by the candlelight.

She didn't spend too much time trying to figure out people's thoughts, and today she felt tired and bored after a short answer with Jian Jun, and felt a headache even while reading a book.

She put down the book and rubbed her forehead, and suddenly heard a soft voice from below: "Your Majesty, are you tired? This servant will beat your shoulders."

Yu Ci never left anyone around to serve her on weekdays, and the maids would knock on the door before entering the house, so she was startled when she heard this sound suddenly.Fortunately, she immediately thought that since seeing Jun coming today, there were still lamps everywhere, so naturally there were people waiting by the door in front of the bed, so she calmly said, "No need."

During the conversation, another court lady came forward to speak, holding a bright yellow satin-covered book in both hands, Yu Ci took it casually, opened it and found out that it was a memorial, the first line read "Zou is the manager of the river project", He closed it again and asked, "Where did it come from?"

The maid said: "When I was changing the clothes for the Holy One, it fell on the ground. The servants don't know what it is, so they dare not dispose of it without authorization."

Yu Ci heard the voice very familiar, and after looking carefully, she saw that it was the little maid in pink gown she had seen earlier.She has changed into a goose-yellow skirt, with a thin shawl wrapped around her arms, making her look even more delicate and delicate, and I feel pity for her.Yu Ci liked it and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid bowed her head and said, "My servant's surname is Fei, and her nickname is Cui."

Xie Ci couldn't help but look at her twice more, and saw her skin was as delicate as creamy fat, her black eyebrows and watery eyes were like a painting, her posture was soft and delicate, and she vaguely looked like a water town, so she asked, "Are you from Jiangnan?"

Nan Caiping said: "The ancestral home of the servant girl is Suzhou."

Yu Ci asked again, "Can you read?"

Jade's head hung lower and lower, she shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't know."

Xi Ci smiled and said, "That's a pity." You give this to Jian Jun's manager, and ask him to keep it carefully, and don't lose it again. "

Jade took the things and withdrew.Yu Ci stared at her back, stunned for a while, and suddenly had the illusion that she was the person in the book.

Emerald". This disastrous beauty that made Jian Jun crazy and obsessed, and she would not hesitate to discard it and store it later, it turned out that at this time she was just a little maid next to Yuci.

It's just that she is well-known in history for being good at poetry and dancing, so why does she say that she is illiterate?
