Chapter 43: Waiting for the wind and rain again (2)

But he answered me gently: "Nothing, this poem is very good, really good."
I seemed to be smiling happily, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, I took the lottery from his side and put it in front of me: "Since the emperor has said yes, the concubine will put it away."
He unconsciously raised his head and looked out the window, tilted his head slightly with a smile that seemed like nothing.
"The concubine still remembers that I was here at the time looking at the rain outside the window and wrote it down. The rain that day was so beautiful, so soft rain, everything was hazy, very cool, and now I really miss that time. The weather is not as hot as it is now."
He gently hugged me into his arms, I looked up at his expression, he just fixedly looked into the distance without any expression, but I could hear his heartbeat, and it beat quickly.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, there was no one around me. I panicked. I raised my hand and opened a gap between the golden and red veil on the bed. The cool night wind came in. I saw him sitting in front of the window wearing a robe. The back makes me think of another person in a daze.
The heartbeat was fierce, and he worked hard to calm down. He didn't notice me. He was still sitting in the same posture, motionless, no prestige, but he looked so lonely.
I thought for a while and didn't call him, because I saw a light green in his hand, which I put on the table before. It seems that he has generated a suspicion of Concubine Liu as I wished, and this suspicion will soon be enlarged.
A fleeting smile appeared on my lips, and when my hand was loosened, the golden tent fell down, isolating his figure, leaving only myself in a beautiful landscape.
I rolled over and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the tactful cry of birds on the tree outside woke me up. In the dimness, he had said something to me when he got up and went to the court, but I couldn't remember it.
I was about to get out of bed, something on my feet licked, and when I looked down, a touch of gold leaped into my eyes, shining with a less brilliant light.
It was a gold-inlaid Kowloon opera bead chain that he used to wear before. It was usually tied to the buckle of his jacket. I know how precious it is. I heard it was a relic of the first emperor, and it also symbolized his noble status.
The moment I got out of bed, I remembered what he said to me: "From today onwards, the sixth house will return to the Sixth House."
I rubbed my forehead, but fortunately I am not a sleepy person.
Hui Ju just brought in Ziying and others at this time to serve me wash and change clothes. Without knowing the previous situation, after last night, her face was full of joy and excitement. Not only her, but all the people are full of joy. I know they are happy for me, but I can't feel the slightest joy in my heart.
Hui Ju brought a set of fine yarn Linghua smoke powder skirts to wear for me. I didn't move, looking at the slender and delicate woman in the mirror, she was not as grand and solemn as a queen.
Today I am going to bid farewell to my previous self, who was as pale as water. Whether I like it or not, I have to devote myself to the harem of this step of the organization. Then this first time I receive a gift, I will put my posture in full, and I will not be a queen. Title.
I glanced at Hui Ju, and said calmly: "Today's Sixth House Inviting An Zhili is different than usual, go get me that body is in the red palace."
Hui Ju suddenly realized and nodded hurriedly: "Look at me, forget about this, just thinking about taking the plain clothes that my empress likes to wear on weekdays, forgetting that from today onwards, our empress is the real empress. Please forgive me. Sin."
I smiled and glanced at her: "Whether I am the real palace or not, I will still be your wife before. If there are no outsiders, don't let those pompous courtesies. Now you have to remember that you are the maid of my Kunning Palace. You must speak in a proper posture."
Hui Ju said respectfully: "Yes, Niang Niang, the slave and maid took it down."
I looked at the other maids again: "You must also write down, it is no longer what it used to be, you must speak and do things appropriately."
Ziying and others knelt down and said loudly: "Yes, Niang Niang, I would like to follow the instructions of the Queen Niang Niang."
I smiled softly, their eyebrows were still happy, and they changed their jewelry for me to choose again.
Dressed in a red silk phoenix dance with a light brocade for nine days, the texture is wrapped in flowers, covered with a layer of light gold flowing color gauze, and it is also covered with silver threads with auspicious clouds.
Hui Ju combed a complicated and gorgeous deer bun for me. On each side, I wore a few pearls, emerald, coral, tourmaline, and phoenix dotted emerald hairpins. The top of the hairpin was hung with gold tassels, and the bottom was decorated with diamond-shaped rubies. When you move, the room is full of radiance, rich and noble.
Hui Ju didn't dare to look up at me after dressing me up. When I lowered my head slightly, those tassels hung in front of my temples, and smiled and asked her who was choosing the finger armor for me: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Hui Ju whispered, "No, it's just that the light of the empress, Hui Ju really dare not face it."
After speaking, I put the gold-inlaid jade pearl armor on my little finger, and then took the rhino horn inlaid with gold and silver silk to wear it with me. I looked down to see that the armor in my hand was covered with finely divided pearls. The big beads are particularly eye-catching.
I frowned. This is really not what I like to dress up. With a wave of my hand, a colorful light flashed across: "Take your fingers off. Let's go."
After saying that Huiju was holding my hand and going out, she whispered: "The slave servant has never seen a lady dressed like this before, it's really..."
She thought for a long time and finally said: "It's really a Phoenix person."
After listening to it, I smiled and moved my steps to look at myself again in the mirror. I remembered that the ancients once said, "Wear the jewelry of Jin Cui, embellish the pearl to drive away", and now I have to rely on this bead and jade dress to add momentum to myself. Can not help but sorrow.
Baoji was exquisite, surrounded by Pedingdong, and the lotus was full of steps. The gold tassels on his head swayed slightly, and I stepped into the main hall of Kunning Palace, Luanfeng Hall.
Xiao Fuzi yelled in a crisp voice: "The queen is here.
A piece of clothing fragrant clouds lingered in front of my temples, and immediately one after another stepped away from the center, kneeling on both sides, I walked slowly, and my gasp echoed in the Luanfeng Hall.
I sat firmly on the throne where the red gold dragon and phoenix crossed the neck. This was taken by Xiao Rongzi from the room where the artifacts were placed in the side hall in the morning. After saying that on his wedding night, I have let people take this throne back. I thought it would never be used, or that I didn't think it would be so fast, it would see the sun again.
"The queen empress is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." A neat and beautiful voice sounded, and I looked at the women below who bowed their heads, but the figure of Concubine Liu was not among them.
He smiled and said in a solemn voice: "All the sisters, get up."
The concubines stood up, and I smiled gently.
Xiao Fuzi sang her name on the side, and the concubine who was called by her name stepped forward to greet me again, and politely reported her name and rank, and said auspicious words.
"The concubine Xinghui Palace Meng Liwan invites the empress and the empress." Li Fei's voice sounded, and no one could hear her dissatisfaction and disrespect to me.
I secretly smiled in my heart. It seems that Li Fei’s temperament has not changed at all since that day, but her emperor’s pet has never faded. The emperor’s overnight stay with me last night shouldn’t reach her. in.
Like most other concubines, she didn't know why the emperor restored the etiquette system, and she was puzzled, but mostly thought that because of my current influence in the Ling family, she thought that the emperor had finally followed the empress dowager.
I didn't get her to get up immediately. I looked at the armor in my hand and turned my face to Hui Ju and said, "The pearls on this armor are a bit dark."
Huiju smiled softly: "This armor has not been taken care of. But Manager Zhang just sent some jewelry that the emperor gave to the empress. The servants looked at them and they were all excellent. The empress will be satisfied."
I nodded: "This, I will reward you."
There was a gasp from below. But Li Fei kept saluting, and no one in the harem dared to say anything to me, so she couldn't do anything.
I glanced at her and said in a faint tone: "Li Fei, get up."
Li Fei stepped aside, her eyes full of anger, distressed eyes flew towards me diagonally, I just didn't see it.
"Feng Shuxian, the concubine Paixue Palace, please greet the empress and empress." A gentle and gentle voice sounded, and the humility in that voice was sincere, not as provocative as the previous Lifei.
I heard it and saw that she was wearing a moonlight brocade palace dress, her face resembling Jiangnan Fangfei's March, which was very comfortable. She has a very natural and relaxing temperament. No wonder the emperor has been pampering her for the longest time, but I can see in her eyes the strength and stability that she has cultivated for a long time in the palace.
"It's his concubine." I smiled and glanced at Hui Ju: "Hurry up and show him a seat."
I glanced at the Li Fei who was standing there. She and He Fei are both upright third-class concubines. The treatment should be the same, but she is disrespectful. I want her to know what will happen and conquer her. The temperament is also for her good.
"Chen concubine..."
For an entire hour, I was receiving these vain gifts, and gradually felt tired, because it was the first time to see me, so the rules were a little bit more, and then I would not be so troublesome.
I leaned on the throne slightly, and the beads on my head made my head buzzing and painful. I was already smiling and saying, "Get up" unconsciously, hoping that the ceremony would be quicker. The end, or someone let it end quickly.
A touch of golden color appeared outside the palace gate, accompanied by the brigade's attendants, he walked into the Luanfeng Hall dignifiedly, and I stood up to welcome.
The moment he stepped into the door, I went down and said, "Concubines see the emperor."
Behind him came the sound of "suosuo" in the dress, and the voices of those concubines asking him for peace.
He only waved his hand, helped me up, looked around, and looked at me again, with endless admiration in his eyes. He took my hand and walked to the throne to sit down, and I sat down with a song.
He smiled and said, "It seems that I have come early."
I smiled softly: "The emperor just laughed."
"Have you seen it?" He asked me, pointing to the women standing below.
I nodded: "The people who have been exposed to rain and dew are here, and some are in the side hall, and then I will bring them over."
He raised his eyebrows: "Those will be postponed until tomorrow, I have something to tell you."
After talking and standing up, the smart concubines were about to salute and retire. At this time, the voice of Xiao Fuzi outside the door suddenly sounded: "The Empress Liu of Zhaoyang Palace is here."
Concubine Liu wore a water-red and silver silk-embroidered peacock coat. Underneath was a pink-and-red dress embroidered with flowers, she couldn't wear too much heavy jewelry on her head because of her pregnancy. Next to a white jade peacock hairpin is a newly-opened hibiscus flower, and a wisp of gold and silver tassels hang down to her ears, making her face like a full moon and brows as far away. She was a little stupid, and she walked in carefully supported by three maids.
I saw her walking to the middle of the hall, slowly getting up and walking down the seat, with a compassionate smile, took her hand, and said in a sweet voice that felt sick to me: "Sister, why is it inconvenient? Well, it’s a good one to recuperate."
After speaking, he quickly turned his head and glanced at Shen Xiyao who was sitting high on the throne.
