Zhuo Qihua

Jia Guixie and Concubine Xigui left first, then the concubine and concubine got on their respective chariots and left, and then it was the turn of the concubine and concubine.But no one came to talk to Zhuo Ji.Just as Zhuo Ji sat down here, Yan Xuan walked over.Saluting to Zhuo Ji, Yan Xuan looked up at Zhuo Ji who had been lifted up and said: "By the way, some good tea from the middle of Sichuan was sent from my home a few days ago. I heard that you like tea. If you are okay , Yanxuan will send it to you in a while."

Zhuo Ji was amused in his heart, he scanned around and there was no movement, obviously waiting for someone to watch the show, he said to Yan Xuan: "I'm a little tired too, you can send it tomorrow, thank you."

Yan Xuan thought that Zhuo Ji would refuse, but Zhuo Ji actually asked him to send it tomorrow, and he immediately said happily: "Thank you for your kindness, Yan Xuan will personally send it to you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zhuo Ji gestured to Chang Jing, and Chang Jing shouted: "Go back to the palace—"

The palace servants carried Zhuo Ji away.Yan Xuangong sent Zhuo Ji away, his lowered eyes were full of ambition.Zhuo Ji is so soft-hearted, he must make good use of it.

Concubine Xi smashed a porcelain vase when she returned to Yuxian Palace, while Mrs. Jiagui was thinking deeply all the way.Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are not the ones who give away personal things easily, let alone one given by Emperor Mingzong and the other by Emperor Shenzong.There must be something extraordinary about Zhuo Ji to make His Majesty and the Queen Mother love him so much.Just based on Zhuo Ji's song today, Jia Guixie couldn't help but think of a sentence His Majesty once said to him.He didn't forget that the queen mother said that Zhuo Ji's song would be fine if he didn't make a song, and if he made a song, he would be astonishing. This must be...

——He is different from you, his heart is not in the harem.If I want to keep him in Danyang Palace, I must pamper him.

He is different from you... different... maybe Zhuo Ji's difference is far from what he guessed...

"Master, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to love Shunyou so much, she even gave Shunyou a gift from Emperor Shenzong." Back in Yunyue Palace, Fuquan couldn't help but say.

De Xun said calmly: "Your Majesty has given him the jade that Emperor Mingzong personally gave him, and the things of Emperor Shenzong are nothing. If His Majesty is here today, I am afraid that the reward will be even greater."

Fuquan also had to say: "Shunyou really has some skills."

Dezhen laughed: "If he has no ability, how can His Majesty and the Queen Mother treat him so differently. I'm afraid that what we see is different from his ability is just a drop in the bucket."

"master?"

Dezhen didn't explain, but the scene in the imperial garden just now appeared in front of his eyes.Zhuo Ji playing and singing, if His Majesty sees it, I'm afraid even Hun'er will be hooked.No wonder Concubine Xi looked so ugly when she left.It's just why Jiagui Xie reacted so flatly?It seems that they already know Zhuo Ji's skills?I was the closest to Zhuo Ji, how did Xie Jiagui know about things that I didn't even know?Could it be... Dezhen's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think deeply.

Concubine Xiao went to Concubine Wen's Ripple Palace.After the two sat down, Concubine Wen said indignantly: "That Zhuo Ji, who is used to flattering, overshadowed our limelight. And that Yan Xuan! He will get a lot of money. After taking away the poems you and I worked so hard on, I will never let that bitch go!"

Concubine Xiao also had an angry look on her face, and said: "It's just a piece of music that I don't know where to learn, and I didn't think it was very good. The Queen Mother actually cried when she heard it. So does the imperial concubine, why bother to join in the fun. Zhuo Ji is on the side of the servant girl. of."

Concubine Wen sighed: "Your concubine can't do anything about it. Your mistress is clearly protecting Zhuo Ji, as well as Dezhen. No one in the palace knows that Daode is the closest to Zhuo Ji. Dezhen is really smart. His move It made His Majesty notice him. Now in the palace, the servants are very powerful, and all of us concubines have to follow the faces of their servants."

Concubine Xiao said helplessly: "Whoever said that the two highnesses in the palace came from the belly of the maid, the blame can only be blamed on our own stomach for not being up to date, and we can only give birth to daughters. Even my elder brother can't give birth." Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen each had a princess.

Concubine Wen: "It's not the Cheng family..."

"Sister, be careful!"

Concubine Wen shut up.The former empress Cheng's case and the witchcraft case are taboos in the palace. If it gets to the emperor's ears, there will be no good fruit to eat.Concubine Xiao said: "As long as we concubines can give birth to a prince, even if it's Brother Mao, His Majesty's favor will naturally be transferred to our side."

Concubine Wen: "I'm afraid that there will be news from Xiangfu Palace before we are pregnant."

Concubine Xiao turned cold, she was also very worried.

Back at Xiangfu Palace, Xiaohui asked: "Master, why are you talking to Yan Yaren? Such an ungrateful villain, Master shouldn't bother with him anymore!"

Chang Jing also didn't understand.Zhuo Ji let Huayuexi and Xiaohui undress him, put on "home clothes", and said in his mouth: "People always sympathize with the weak, so many people watch, if I ignore him, his grievance will be my fault." It’s a big deal.”

Xiaohui: "Ah! He actually has such sinister intentions!"

Hua Yuexi said: "Xiaohui, it is Yan Ya who is sorry for the master, but the master has never been sorry for him. So what if the master agrees to him to send tea, is it possible that if you accept his tea, your majesty can pamper him again? Your majesty will only say The master is generous."

Xiaohui blinked and smiled: "Master is wise~"

Zhuo Ji said: "I am not wise, but treat different people with different methods. Your master, I will not plot against others, but if others want to plot against me, it depends on whether I am willing to plot against him." After a big yawn, Zhuo Ji said, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

"Yes."

The master has a plan in mind, so Xiaohui doesn't worry anymore.Yan Xuan, who returned to the West Third Hospital, was thinking about how to deliver the gift tomorrow, so that Zhuo Ji could forgive him and win His Majesty's favor.

The guard of honor of Emperor Yong'an did not return to Danyang Palace until half past the unitary hour.When Emperor Yong'an came back, he immediately took a shower and changed clothes, and there was a palace banquet in the evening.While Emperor Yong'an was taking a bath, he knew what happened in the palace today.Knowing that the Queen Mother not only let Zhuo Ji go to the Royal Garden, Zhuo Ji also sang a song, and the Queen Mother cried.

After tidying up, Emperor Yong'an went straight to Shoukang Palace. Seeing him coming back, the Empress Dowager looked very happy, and said, "The Emperor is tired today, so we should drink less wine at the palace banquet tonight."

"Fortunately, there are rests on the way back and forth."

"Are Chen Mu and Chen Mu okay?"

"Everything is fine. Chen Mu went to sleep after going down the mountain, and he woke up in the palace in good spirits. There was no discomfort along the way."

The queen mother was pleased and said: "It seems that the methods for recuperating Chen Zhu are still useful. Dezhen can also feel relieved."

Emperor Yong'an asked: "Mother, did Zhuo Ji sing in the imperial garden today?"

The queen mother smiled: "Yes. I sang the emperor's song, and I couldn't hold back the tears for my mother. It's a pity that you didn't hear it."

Emperor Yong'an was a little depressed.Zhang Xian said at this time: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the time is coming soon."

Repressing the desire to ask for details, Emperor Yong'an helped the Empress Dowager up and went to Fengtian Hall.The Chongyang Palace Banquet was attended by only the harem and members of the clan. It was a family banquet, so it was placed in the Fengtian Hall of Emperor Yong'an.When Emperor Yong'an arrived with the Empress Dowager, all members of the clan and concubines from the harem had arrived, including Zhuo Ji.He changed into a white and green dress embroidered with silver thread, changed his hairstyle, inserted a jasper hairpin, wore a gemstone ring on each hand, and on his left wrist was a string of shining beeswax eighteen-seed hands. string.Her face was still unpainted, and her lips were still only covered with a layer of Xiaohui's lip balm.In dry weather, apply some lip balm to avoid chapped lips.Brother Miao doesn't know how to grow a beard, so he can make up and dress up, otherwise he really can't see it.

As soon as Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager appeared, everyone saluted and greeted them.Emperor Yong'an asked everyone to stand up and sit down. He helped the queen mother to sit down first, and then walked to the upper dragon seat and sat down.There are maids sitting in two rows on the right, and the first row is headed by Mrs. Jiagui.Concubines are sitting in the third row on the left, and the first row is headed by Concubine Xi.The clan relatives sat behind the left and right concubines and attendants according to their status, and the leaders were King Xianyi and King Wu Shao respectively.Zhuo Ji sat at the top of the first row.As if to take care of him, Dezhen, who always sat next to Jia Guixie, sat next to Mingyu, next to Zhuo Ji.

Emperor Yong'an had two attendants, one was Zhuo Ji, Shun, and the other was Jin.Compared with Zhuo Ji, Jin Lan is very transparent in the palace.Jin Ni is the biological mother of the fourth princess, and her uncle is the Jijiu of the Imperial Academy.Emperor Yong'an had four princesses, three of whom were born to concubines, and only one was born to a servant girl, that is, Jin Yu.

After taking his seat, Emperor Yong'an glanced at Zhuo Ji nonchalantly, he was very happy that he could come, and also very satisfied that he had dressed up a lot.As for the lack of paint, Emperor Yong'an thought it was quite good, but felt that the faces of a few maids and concubines were painted too white, which made them terrified.Yan Xuan also came, and it could be seen that he had dressed up carefully, and sat at the end of the elegant seats in the second row.There were not many servants in the Yongan Emperor's harem, only two rows of people.

After sitting down, Emperor Yong'an first gave a speech on Double Ninth Festival, and then gave some advice to the clan and concubines, and then the palace banquet officially began.Emperor Yong'an drank the first glass of wine, and after that, everyone can do whatever they want.Zhuo Ji looked at the tea in front of him depressedly. His Majesty was too lenient. He took away all the wine in his palace, and he was not given wine at the palace banquet.

"By the way, what kind of nonsense are you talking about to ask His Majesty to give you a prohibition order?"

Putting down his wine glass, Dezhen asked with a smile.Zhuo Ji replied innocently: "The waiter told His Majesty that he dreamed that His Majesty was going to divide the waiter into five horses, and His Majesty became angry."

"..." Dezhen covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. When he recovered, he said angrily, "No wonder His Majesty wants to ban you from drinking. You are really talking nonsense after drinking."

Zhuo Ji curled his lips: "Who hasn't had the time to talk drunk yet."

The singing and dancing started, and Dezhen took the opportunity to say: "In this Tanyang Palace, the most feared thing is nonsense. Your Majesty favors you, and you have to be more careful about your words. It is not easy to be favored, but it is the opposite to lose favor. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. After the draft, I don't know how many newcomers there will be in this palace, and there are many people who are more beautiful and talented than you."

As far as the point is concerned, Zhuo Ji said sincerely: "Thank you for your suggestion, I must be careful when I serve you."

Dean nodded.

Emperor Yong'an leaned slightly on the lumbar pillow, he was indeed a little tired today, but his heart was like a cat scratching at the moment.Take a few glances at Zhuo Ji by drinking and eating.Seeing that Zhuo Ji was chatting happily with Dezhen, but he didn't even look at him, he was very upset and couldn't show it yet!

Eating at palace banquets is the most important thing.Before Zhuo Ji came, he ate a small bowl of wontons, in order to prevent bad taste at the palace banquet.After taking two mouthfuls of food, Zhuo Ji raised his eyes, just in time to meet the eyes of Emperor Yong'an who was looking over here.Zhuo Ji smiled slightly at Emperor Yong'an, then curled his lips and pointed to his teacup in dissatisfaction.Emperor Yong'an looked away, but there was a restrained smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhuo Ji felt that Emperor Yong'an's move to look away was a bit self-deprecating.He just looked at Emperor Yong'an, and after a while, Emperor Yong'an looked over again, and then immediately looked away.Zhuo Ji laughed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor is not shy, is he?Zhuo Ji observed the other people, and found that many people were "secretly" looking at the emperor above him, so he looked at it blatantly.

"How shameless! Seduce Your Majesty in full view!" Concubine Wen glared bitterly at Zhuo Ji who was "winking" at His Majesty the Emperor.Concubine Xiao and Concubine Yao who were sitting beside him heard it.

Concubine Yao sighed: "It doesn't matter if people don't like to dress up, it's enough to seduce people."

Dezhen found that Zhuo Ji had been looking at His Majesty, he shook his head in his heart, and whispered: "There are so many people watching, you are afraid that others will not say that you seduced His Majesty, don't look."

Zhuo Ji continued to stare at the dishes while eating, and said: "Serving the body is sacrificing the ego to help everyone."

Dezhen was stunned, and then heard Zhuo Ji say: "The waiter will tell everyone with practical actions how to seduce His Majesty."

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough..."

"Cui, are you alright?" Zhuo Ji looked away and asked with concern.

Dezhen, who coughed several times during this time, said bitterly: "I will never sit with you again!"

At this time, Emperor Yong'an was quite conflicted.Zhuo Ji didn't look at him, he was displeased.Zhuo Ji stared at him, and he was not happy.This Zhuo Ji kept saying that he didn't want to sleep with him, yet he blatantly seduced him!Emperor Yong'an couldn't control his gaze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhuo Ji's "affectionate gaze" eyes.He immediately turned his gaze back and took two sips of wine to "suppress the shock".How shameless!

"Zhang Xian."

"The servant is here!"

Emperor Yong'an said in a disgusted tone: "Go, send this to Shunyi, and tell him to eat well! Don't 'go around' looking around!"

Zhang Xian's expression was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He picked up a plate of five-flavored roast duck that His Majesty seemed to be pointing just now, and then heard His Majesty say: "Let him not thank you, just sit down and finish eating."

"Yes."

Zhang Xian picked up the dish and walked down, immediately everyone's eyes followed him.Which noble lord or clan does His Majesty want to reward?As a result, everyone saw Zhang Xian carrying the plate of dishes all the way past Jiaguixie, Mingyu, Dezhen, and stopped in front of Shunyou.

"By the way, Your Majesty ordered this servant to reward you with this five-flavored roast duck. Your Majesty said that you don't need to thank you any more, and sat down to 'finish'. His Majesty also said...don't look at me randomly." The last two words Zhang Xian pressed down extremely low, but was still heard by De Xun.Dean coughed again.

Zhuo Ji stood up, first saluted and thanked Emperor Yong'an, then took the plate of five-flavored roast duck with both hands, and said to Zhang Xian: "Eunuch Zhang, please help me to say a few words to His Majesty."

"By the way, don't say whether it's troublesome or not. You're not a slave."

Zhuo Ji asked Zhang Xian to come over, and Zhang Xian listened to him, Zhuo Ji whispered to him, and Zhang Xian showed embarrassment and embarrassment.After Zhuo Ji finished speaking, Zhang Xian smiled wryly: "Cuchu, this servant really told His Majesty that."

"Well, tell Your Majesty the exact words."

Zhang Xian had no choice but to straighten up and walk away.Everyone stared at the two who were obviously whispering, and many of them almost crushed the veils in their hands.Whispering under His Majesty's nose, this Zhuo Ji is too bold, too proud of being pampered!Zhuo Ji sat down, and after hearing what Zhang Xian said, De Xun said angrily: "This time, His Majesty thinks you are not ashamed, and you have to eat all the dishes rewarded by Your Majesty." Didn't ask Zhuo Ji and Zhang Xian What did you say.

"I can eat a plate of duck, or a cow."

Zhuo Ji stopped looking at Emperor Yong'an and concentrated on eating the duck.Zhang Xian returned to the emperor's side, bowed his body and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, by the way, he thanked His Majesty for giving you the duck, and said..."

"what did he say?"

Zhang Xian was really speechless.Emperor Yong'an glanced at the man who was eating the duck with a dull head: "Come and talk!"

Zhang Xian leaned close to His Majesty's ear, closed his eyes, and said as if he had said that he was born early, "By the way, he suddenly found you, Your Majesty. You are handsome, tall, mighty, and imposing. Yes, indeed, the overlord among overlords, the emperor among emperors!"

"Cough cough cough..."

In full view, Emperor Yong'an covered his mouth and coughed violently.Zhang Xian hurriedly beat His Majesty's back, everyone looked at His Majesty who suddenly coughed, and their eyes drifted back and forth between His Majesty and Zhuo Ji who was bent down to eat duck.

The queen mother turned around: "Emperor, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing, just, choking."

Emperor Yong'an just wanted to drag someone to the dragon bed, strip off his clothes and beat him severely.To embarrass him on such an occasion, he should be beaten!

Dezhen became curious: "Shunyou, what message did you ask Eunuch Zhang to pass to you?"

Zhuo Ji sneered: "The waiter asked Eunuch Zhang to tell His Majesty that His Majesty is so handsome that the waiter was fascinated by it."

"Cough cough cough..." Dezhen swore that he would never sit with Zhuo Ji again in the future!

It took a long time for Emperor Yong'an to recover.Zhuo Ji also finished his plate of five-flavored roast duck.De Xun ignored him with a cold face, while Zhuo Ji concentrated on watching the singing and dancing.Emperor Yong'an stopped coughing, with an angry look on his face, but the words Zhang Xian passed to him on behalf of Zhuo Ji kept replaying in his head.

...Handsome and majestic, tall and mighty, with an imposing appearance...the overlord among overlords, the emperor among emperors...

Emperor Yong'an adjusted his sitting posture several times but failed to press down something between his legs that stiffened out of season. He is obviously very tired today!Emperor Yong'an also came to his senses, Zhuo Ji didn't seduce him, he had the audacity to tease him in public!Emperor Yong'an saw danger in his eyes.
