Chronicle of Emperor Jing
Chapter 23 Gift
Seeing the official ship getting closer and closer to the capital, Wei Yan felt more and more anxious when he thought that he would fall into the terrible situation in the past in a short time.
Traveling outside during this period, he deliberately suppressed those unbearable old events deep in his heart, tried his best to ignore and forget them, and tried his best to maintain a calm old appearance, as if those unbearable things just happened in nightmares, not really happened to him body.
He is like a tortoise hiding in a tortoise shell, as long as he doesn't poke his head out, he feels safe.But as the capital approached, cracks gradually appeared on the tortoise's shell. That morning on the Qiyang Mansion Pier, it was as if someone hit his tortoise's shell hard with a big hammer, directly protecting his body. The shell was smashed to pieces, exposing the fragile body.
He carefully recalled the emperor's earnest instructions in his ear when his consciousness was blurred that night, recalling the feeling of the emperor's warm breath brushing against his ears, he couldn't help shivering, and only after he settled down did he begin to calculate carefully. , This time out, what exactly did he violate the emperor's prohibition.
Of course, the result of the calculation is desperate, basically one, two, three, four, five, and he committed every one.Anticipating the punishments he would suffer after returning to Beijing, Wei Yan felt his scalp numb and his knees weak.This trip made so many mistakes all at once, I wonder if he will still be ordered to climb down from the emperor's couch?
If possible, I really don't want to go back.
When Wei Yan sat blankly thinking about the countermeasures, this idea couldn't help popping up in his mind.
Of course, this is just his wishful thinking when he was panicking. Let alone his family and friends, he can’t let go, even if he is alone, without the burden of family and friends. "This sentence is not meant to be fun.
Even if he went to the deep mountains and old forests to be with wild beasts, as long as the emperor wanted to catch him, he would definitely be caught, depending on whether the emperor was willing to put in the effort.When that time really comes, his situation will probably be thousands of times worse than it is now.
You can't run, you don't dare to run, you can only bite the bullet and deal with it.Maybe after these days, the emperor already has a new love?Wei Yan thought of this possibility on a whim, and his dying heart was half alive again.
The emperor had said at the time that as long as he had a new lover, he would be released. He has been out for so long this time. According to common sense, the emperor will not stay alone on the empty couch. After that, there is no time to argue with him.
Thinking about it this way, Wei Yan began to feel that the future is not as gloomy as he imagined, and the saying that there is no unparalleled road is often justified.
However, just in case, he still ordered people to lower the sails halfway, trying to delay the time to arrive in Beijing as much as possible, as if if he arrived one day late, the possibility of the emperor having a new love would be more likely.
Wei Yan was afraid, while dawdling, and hurried on the road slowly. By the time the group of them arrived in the capital, it was already the beginning of March.
When the official ship docked, it was still early. Wei Yan reckoned that the emperor was still in the early court at this time, so he went back to the mansion to take a bath, change clothes and tidy up. Watching his mother have lunch and gossiping for a while, seeing that it was getting late and there was really no longer any delay, so he reluctantly got up and went to the palace to reply to the order.
The emperor didn't summon him in the Imperial Study Room, nor did he summon him in the Zhaoren Hall where he was working daily, but actually summoned him in the sleeping hall.After Wei Yan heard the announcement from the servant at the door, his footsteps began to become heavy. When he finally moved to the door of the bedroom, he lingered at the door again. Step inside.
"Lord Wei, please rest assured. Your Majesty is in a very good mood these days. As long as the official business is done, His Majesty will not care about other things with you. Go in quickly. If Your Majesty is in a hurry, I'm afraid you really have to Angry." With such hesitation, he probably couldn't bear to watch Mr. Gao who was guarding the door, so he whispered something to comfort him.
One word awakens the dreamer, perhaps it can also be said that "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear".After listening to Manager Gao's words, Wei Yan suddenly came to his senses like enlightenment. In fact, his previous anxiety was simply asking for trouble.
Although he didn't dare to boast that it was perfect, he completed this errand without any mistakes. No matter how picky the emperor was, unless he wanted to pick bones from eggs, he couldn't find any mistakes at all.
As for other things?Those things are not what a king should ask his courtiers to do. When the emperor said those words, he must have not taken them seriously.
He would worry about the emperor's teasing words on the bed for so long, it was too stupid.And the emperor is in a very good mood these days, could it be that his prayers these days have finally come true?The emperor now has a new favorite, so he is in a great mood?
Wei Yan thought about it carefully, and felt that this should be the case.
In the blink of an eye, his mentality has changed drastically, and his whole spirit has also taken on a new look.Gao Yong saw that he seemed to be a different person suddenly, although he didn't understand which words he said moved him, but since he was willing to go in obediently, Gao Yong stopped talking.
It was very quiet in the dormitory.
The emperor didn't wear court clothes, but only a light casual clothes. He half-lyed on a short couch near the window, squinting his eyes to rest. The early spring afternoon sun lazily shone on him, leaving a mottled halo all over his body.At his feet were two court ladies, sitting on soft plinths and tapping his legs.Such a quiet and peaceful scene is like a warm picture.
At this time, Wei Yan was even more convinced that what Director Gao said was true, and the emperor was in a very good mood at this time.A long, long time ago, oh, it wasn’t that long, maybe two or three months ago, but Wei Yan felt that a long, long time had passed.
At that time, when the emperor was in a good mood, he also liked to steal half a day's leisure, lying quietly and basking in the sun.Occasionally, when it was Wei Yan's turn to guard, such a scene would appear in front of his eyes. At that time, the sun shone on the emperor's handsome face, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light.
Although Wei Yan didn't dare to stare at the emperor at this time, he would hold his breath every time and sneak a glance from the corner of his eye.If there were no things that happened later, in Wei Yan's heart, the young king would always be like a god, who could only look up and worship but could not be approached.It's just that everything that happened afterwards was like a nightmare, a nightmare from which I could never wake up...
Wei Yan suddenly came back to his senses, and found that he was in a daze in front of the emperor. He froze his mind, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and bowed down respectfully to pay his respects.
"Aiqing is flat. Give Master Wei a seat." Emperor Jing raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said.
Wei Yan lowered his head and couldn't see the emperor's expression, but he could feel a soft and lazy flavor in his voice, giving people a lazy feeling.
Wei Yan vaguely remembered that the emperor in this state became very talkative when he was in the Xishan Palace.
The emperor is really in a good mood.Wei Yan once again confirmed that the uneasiness for many days was finally swept away.
Soon a court lady moved a small round pier and put it in front of the couch, inviting him to take a seat.Wei Yan sat down after pleading guilty, and began to report to the emperor everything about his trip to Youzhou.
The emperor closed his eyes and listened, occasionally nodding slightly to show that he was listening, but never asked any questions.
Wei Yan's report came to an end, and he was waiting for the emperor to ask, but the emperor refused to speak.
In the quiet dormitory, Wei Yan was the only one talking. After he stopped, the atmosphere suddenly became weird. The two maids who were kicking the emperor's legs couldn't help themselves in this weird atmosphere. Breathing lightly.
"Your Majesty?" After being silent for about half a cup of tea, Wei Yan finally sensed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"Ai Qing finished?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at him, with an expression on his face that seemed to be waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Yes." Although the expression on the emperor's face made Wei Yan feel very strange, he still answered "Yes" bravely.
"Is there nothing else to report?" the emperor asked him again.
"Yes."
"Aiqing should think about it carefully, if there is anything missing, it would be better to talk back to me."
Wei Yan was silent for a moment upon hearing this.
He can be sure that there are no omissions in the official business. As for that matter, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it. In the end, he replied: "I have thought about it, I haven't."
"In this case, I can only help you to remember well." When he said this, the emperor seemed to have some unspeakable regret in his tone, but the expression on his face was not the same.
Just by looking at the smile on the corner of his mouth, you can tell that at this time, he must be very happy to have the opportunity to "help".
"Your Majesty... I don't understand...it's still blue and white..." Wei Yan didn't understand why things suddenly jumped to the worst direction, trying to make a dying struggle.
However, his struggle was doomed to be useless, because the emperor had already waved his hand to let the serving maids back down, then got up and walked towards him, grabbed his wrist, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "I will let you understand of."
That kind of gentle and terrifying tone made Wei Yan shiver uncontrollably in the warm hall.
Emperor Jing has been in a good mood since the middle of last month. Even after reading the secret documents sent by the secret guards and knowing that someone is acting recklessly and recklessly in a place he can't see, his good mood still hasn't lost half of it.
While smiling, he looked at the secret document sent by the secret guard as a pastime after political affairs, while estimating the time when Wei Yan would return to the capital in his heart.Even though the time for Wei Yan to return to Beijing was delayed again and again, Emperor Jing was still amused by his performance of "up and down, surprised and surprised".
Since you are afraid that he will get angry, don't do these things; if you dare to dawdle and refuse to come back to see him after you do it, isn't that adding to the crime?
But the person who was too scared to come back on the road was not afraid when he really saw him.Listening to him sternly announcing the official business there, and still showing a devotion to his duty after the end, Emperor Jing couldn't help but want to scare him.
He magnanimously gave someone three chances to confess, but it was a pity that someone was always too dull to be taught, no wonder he had to take good care of him.
"Where does Aiqing want to be favored by me?" Emperor Jing asked deliberately, waiting to see him show a shy and embarrassed look.
Sure enough, Wei Yan pursed his lips and refused to speak, but his eyes couldn't help but drifted inside.
Although Emperor Jing felt that pampering him in the sun would definitely be very comfortable, but after thinking about it, Wei Yan's idea made sense. Delicious things should be enjoyed in a place where he can stretch his hands and feet, so there is no objection. He dragged him inside.
"How dare you ignore all the words I said, and do everything that you are not allowed to do. I believe that you must be ready for the punishment you will suffer today?" When he arrived at the bed, Emperor Jing untied Wei Yan's belt and gestured. Wei Yan helped him undress.
"I didn't..." Although Wei Yan was full of reluctance, he still didn't dare to disobey his order. The only small resistance was the slow movement of undressing, trying to delay the time to get on the bed.
"Did Qing think that I was joking at that time? Qing didn't even think about it. When did I joke with Qing?" Emperor Jing saw that Wei Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, and he didn't care. He just continued on his own, " Let me think about it carefully, what kind of mistakes did you make? Being a prostitute and having sex with prostitutes is not counted as being merry and merry, but she even went to buy a beautiful maid, spent day and night together in Wushan, and after eating and wiping her clean, she even abandoned her. In the future, I will be so guilty that I dare not come back to see me, and dare to dawdle on the road deliberately. Wei Yan, how do you think I will punish you? Huh?"
Emperor Jing recounted Wei Yan's mistakes along the way, and his subordinates didn't stop, and quickly stripped Wei Yan clean, and carried him to the couch.The delicacy comes first, and it is a delicacy that has been away for more than a month. Of course, Emperor Jing can't help it, and he doesn't want to bear it.
Some things, Wei Yan was lucky at first, thinking that the emperor would not be able to find out, but it is a pity that the emperor has been in this way for several years, how can he deceive him, but he tried it with his hands, and he knew that he applied the ointment on time as he explained earlier This matter must have been left behind by Wei Yan.
Other things are easier to talk about, Emperor Jing felt that this matter should be remembered long in his memory, so that he would not take other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs in the future.
"Could it be that the ointment I ordered you to use has never been used? If so, I will punish you to prepare yourself in front of me today."
Hearing this, Wei Yan looked up at him in disbelief, only to find that the emperor looked serious, and there was no hint of a joke on his face, and the incense box containing the ointment was delivered to him very quickly.
"No..." Wei Yan shook his head and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The ointment that the emperor ordered him to carry was always in his bag, but he never thought of using it.He could convince himself that the emperor did anything unbearable to him, because he did not dare to resist, could not resist, so he had to be patient, but let him do it by himself, as if his will also surrendered to the other party while his body surrendered. under the body.
He doesn't want to do this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, no matter how big the dragon couch was, there was no place for him to hide, and soon he was cornered by the emperor.
"No?" He couldn't see the expression of the emperor pressing on him and rubbing his ears, he could only hear the emperor's rather playful voice, "What do you mean, do you want me to go in without being ready?"
Speaking of what scared Wei Yan, Emperor Jing kissed his earlobe again, and continued: "Qing's body has become so green, if you go in without preparation, you will definitely be injured, and if you are injured, you will definitely have a fever. It is said that you have a fever." My body is very comfortable, and I'm afraid I won't be able to resist pampering Qing over and over again, and going back and forth like this, does Qing intend to lie on this couch for the rest of his life?"
Lie here forever?Knowing that the emperor's words might just be scaring him, Wei Yan didn't dare to bet.After struggling for a moment, he still took the incense box from the emperor's hand.
"Do it well, otherwise don't cry when you suffer."
As soon as the emperor said this, Wei Yan's expression became even uglier.
He already understood that the emperor would definitely not let him go easily today, he gritted his teeth, and prepared to mess up as soon as he was cruel.
Emperor Jing deliberately said something absurd, in fact, he just wanted to see Wei Yan's shy and unbearable expression, but unexpectedly Wei Yan was forced by him to turn pale, and his interest suddenly dropped, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He didn't regard his body as his own, and the moment he was about to act recklessly, he grabbed his wrist.
"Forget it, give me a kiss, and I will forgive you this time." Well, His Majesty the Emperor finally had to admit that he was really an idiot when he played with Mu Mu on the couch, and he was a idiot who would never change after repeated teaching.
In fact, when a certain wood is only willing to accept one sexual position, and other positions are considered more comfortable by him as punishment, he should understand that there is no such word as "interesting" in the wood's head.
Hearing what the emperor said, Wei Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his mind, but he was afraid that the emperor would regret it after a while, so he straightened up and leaned forward without hesitation, and kissed the emperor's cheek face, and then quickly lay back.
What he did made Jingdi speechless for a long time, and finally he sighed as if resigned to his fate, muttering such words as "those who are angry with idiots are only more idiots", and directly crushed him on the couch.
Although Emperor Jing had said a lot of threatening words about Wei Yan, he did not plan to implement any of them. Wei Yan always had doubts about what he said on the bed, which obviously had a lot to do with it, but He hadn't realized it yet.
He overwhelmed Wei Yan, and taught him what "kissing" is, and he didn't let go until he kissed him until he was breathless.
"This is the kiss, remember?" Emperor Jing stretched out his fingers, caressed Wei Yan's blood-colored lips, and felt a little itchy in his heart, "If you can't remember, do you want me to teach you again?"
"I remember it." Wei Yan nodded desperately, trying to show that he remembered it, and the emperor really didn't need to teach it again.
"Well, that's good." Emperor Jing saw that after the teaching just now, Wei Yan's brows and eyes softened, and there was a trace of softness in his voice, without the rigid, respectful and alienated just now, and he finally felt comfortable.
He took the incense box and began to carefully prepare for Wei Yan's acceptance.Men's bodies are not naturally suitable for sex than women's, and they are more likely to be injured when they are healthy, so no matter how thoughtful and meticulous the preparation before the start, it cannot be overstated.
After more than a month of self-cultivation, Wei Yan's body has returned to the youthful state it was when he was lucky for the first time. Emperor Jing thought that he had hurt him the first time, so of course he didn't dare to act recklessly at this time, and used various methods to provoke him. Only after satisfying his interest can he dare to enjoy it cautiously.
Although this body is so delicious that Emperor Jing couldn't get enough of it, but when he thought of Wei Yan's exhaustion along the way, he felt uneasy, and he must have not had a good rest. It hurt him, tired him, only did it twice, relieved his hunger a little, took a rest and took him to take a bath.
When he returned to the couch with Wei Yan in his arms, he covered him with a brocade quilt, kissed his cheek, and signaled him to close his eyes and rest.Then, he saw Wei Yan looking at him stupidly.No need to ask, just looking at the expression on Wei Yan's face, Emperor Jing knew that Wei Yan couldn't believe that he could pass the test so easily this time.
"You are lucky this time, and it happens that I am in a particularly good mood these few days. Even if I make a big mistake, it's nothing." Emperor Jing originally wanted to chat with Wei Yan, and talk about why he was in a bad mood recently. It's so good, but Wei Yan was probably really tired. After hearing him say a word, he couldn't help squinting his eyes halfway. Seeing his appearance, Emperor Jing swallowed everything he wanted to say, and just stretched out. Reaching out, he stroked the hair on his temples, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I will call you when it's dinner time."
Wei Yan originally thought that the emperor would deal with him ruthlessly when he knew about it, and he was afraid of such a situation along the way, but to his surprise, the emperor did not use any means during the whole process, just holding him in a well-behaved manner. After doing it twice, he was allowed to rest and said it was nothing.
Now that the emperor said so, Wei Yan naturally thought that this matter really passed away.Now that this matter has come to an end, he will definitely not be so stupid as to bring up the old matter again and feel uncomfortable in front of the emperor, so the reminder that Miss Luzhu left for him was just forgotten by him.
Ever since the official ship passed the Qiyang Mansion Wharf, Wei Yan has been worrying and thinking wildly all day long, and has not been able to sleep peacefully. Finally, the emperor scolded him and punished him. What should be done should not be done. He did everything he had done, and he generously expressed that he would forget it.
At this point, he could finally sleep with peace of mind. Coupled with the exhaustion after the intercourse, he slept until noon the next day, not to mention dinner, and he couldn't even catch up with breakfast the next day. superior.
When he woke up, he found himself tightly wrapped in a pile of quilts like a cocoon, and there was no one around him.
He lay in the quilt for a while, and when he woke up, he recalled some fragments left in his mind, and he was a little ashamed.Last night he was in a drowsy sleep, and when he felt that someone was going to grab his quilt, he held onto the quilt tightly and refused to let go, fearing that the person would not give up, and wrapped the quilt around his body again and again, Then quickly go back to sleep with peace of mind.Obviously, this is the real reason why he is currently wrapped in a quilt like a cocoon.
I wonder if the person who came to snatch his quilt is the emperor?I don't know if the emperor was angry when he rolled up the quilt last night and didn't have to cover him?
No matter, anyway, he fell asleep and didn't know anything.
Wei Yan stared blankly at the tassels beside the couch for a moment, then decided to give up thinking about such troublesome issues.Ever since he was a child, trying to figure out other people's thoughts has never been his job, let alone trying to figure out the king's heart, which is extremely difficult.
"Master Wei is awake? His Majesty asked the old slave to come back and have a look. If the lord is still asleep, he ordered the old slave to wake him up, lest he sleep again, and the lord will starve to death. When the lord wakes up, hurry up and wash up Changing clothes and eating, His Majesty ordered the small kitchen to make the crystal steamed dumplings that adults love most."
As soon as Wei Yan sat up, before he had time to call someone, he heard the voice of Director Gao from outside. As the curtain outside was lifted, the ladies of the court came in one after another carrying a set of toiletries, clothes, trousers, shoes and socks.
He didn't feel hungry at first, but after being reminded by Manager Gao, he realized that he was really hungry.At the moment, he just smiled and greeted him without saying much. Under the service of the maid, he rinsed his mouth, cleaned his teeth, shaved his face, tied his hair and put on his clothes, and quickly got dressed.
He tidied up here, and breakfast was also placed on the dining table there.
Wei Yan went to the table and took a closer look. There were more than ten kinds of snacks of various colors, all placed in plain porcelain plates, full of color, fragrance and taste, and looked very appetizing.There are also five or six servings of various soups, which have never been taken out of the soup box. Of course, there are also a few dishes of side dishes.Wei Yan was overly hungry, and wanted to eat lightly, so he ordered plain porridge, and started eating with stewed tofu with shredded chicken.
Meals in the palace are usually prepared by the imperial dining room according to the rules, and then people are sent to collect them by themselves. However, every concubine with a certain status in each palace and courtyard will have a small kitchen in their own palace to meet their whims from time to time. needs.
Naturally, there are small kitchens in the emperor's bedroom. It is said that the small kitchen is relatively "big" compared to the imperial dining room. As far as Wei Yan knows, there are seven or eight small kitchens in the emperor's bedroom. There are two shifts, and there are more than a dozen small servants in charge of chores.
The imperial chef in the small kitchen is good at delicate food, such as all kinds of snacks and soups. For example, the crystal steamed dumpling that Wei Yan likes is one of the special dim sums of the imperial chef in the small kitchen in the emperor's palace. People have eaten steamed dumplings that can teach one to win or lose.
This crystal steamed dumpling lives up to the name of "Crystal". The skin is as thin as paper, and it is really crystal clear.
When Wei Yan tasted it for the first time, he couldn't help eating another one. Seeing that he liked it, the emperor ordered the small kitchen to make it and present it every now and then.
Wei Yan was really hungry today, so he ate very quickly. Of course, no matter how fast his movements were, his demeanor remained stable.Besides, even if he messed up his manner after eating, no one would talk about him, except His Majesty the Emperor.
However, all the palace servants around the emperor knew that even if the emperor wanted to talk about Mr. Wei, most of the time he was just playing tricks to amuse others, and he couldn't take it seriously. Whoever took it seriously would be an idiot.
The bowls in the palace were not big, so Wei Yan ate three bowls of porridge in one go, two plates of steamed crystal dumplings, and some other snacks to fill his stomach.
After breakfast and tidying up, Wei Yan checked the boxes brought by his order yesterday, and started packing them up and down.There are gifts for the personal servants and the bosses everywhere.The things are not expensive, but the products he brought back from his trip to Youzhou. They are just some fabrics, just to express his heart.
Youzhou's products are poor, so the handicraft industry is particularly developed, and its fabrics are somewhat famous in the world. Moreover, the fabrics in the extreme north have their own flavor, so the giver and receiver are happy with each other.As for Director Gao, Wei Yan gave him a blanket made of the fluff of the abdomen of wild antelope. It is said that elderly people cover their legs at night, which has the effect of dispelling cold and dampness.
Gao Yong has been with the emperor for many years, and he has seen many treasures in the world. He can tell that this thing is not like what Wei Yan said, it is just a little thought, and it may be worth a thousand gold.
Although the emperor has always turned a blind eye to such things, based on the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, he knows it well, but as long as they help after receiving the gift, it is harmless and does not violate the emperor's taboo, the emperor will Treat it as not knowing.
But if he accepts the great gift from the lord in front of him, but fails to do what he entrusts, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to explain.Gao Yong is getting old, this gift suits his heart quite well, but when he thinks of Wei Yan's unknown purpose of gift giving, this gift suddenly feels hot.
I just don't know why the Lord in front of me gave such a precious gift.
Of course, he was also very puzzled in his heart, what else in this world, the emperor can't help Wei Yan, but asked him to do it, but he couldn't say it clearly, he just greeted Wei Yan and waited for Wei Yan to speak.
When Wei Yan was choosing gifts in Youzhou, he didn't think too much about it. He only thought that this time he finally took it to heart. After returning to Beijing, his father would definitely not scold him for not being a man. Asking my father to worry about it made me very proud and felt that I was finally sensible.
Now that things are being delivered, Manager Gao smiled and put on a look that everything is easy to discuss, just waiting for him to speak. He finally remembered that he really had a few things that he wanted to ask Manager Gao.
The first thing, of course, is to ask how the emperor was in the mood when he got up early.
After Manager Gao answered "very good", Wei Yan finally felt at ease.Since the emperor was in a good mood, he definitely wouldn't blame him for grabbing the quilt last night.
The second thing is to ask the emperor why he is in such a good mood recently.
After Manager Gao's explanation, he realized that there were three reasons why the emperor was in such a good mood recently.
The first reason is that in terms of political affairs, Enke, who had a lot of discussions in the court and had many opponents, was finally held at the same time as the examination at the insistence of the emperor. It is said that several talents who satisfied the emperor were selected.With smooth political affairs, it is no surprise that His Majesty the Emperor is very happy.
The second reason is that it originated from the harem. In the middle of last month, the imperial physician diagnosed Liu Cairen of the Yonghe Palace who was three months pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and immediately promoted her to be Jieyu and rewarded her with many treasures , someone took good care of her, and often visited her inside.
In the full year of the emperor's wedding, for the first time came the good news that the empress concubine was pregnant and was about to become a father for the first time, so he was overjoyed.
As for the third reason...
Of course, the Emperor's mood will be better because Master Wei is back, but for this reason, Gao Yong is afraid that after he speaks to his face, Master Wei's face will be unbearable, and he will directly become angry from embarrassment, so he didn't speak out, just looked at him smiled.
Wei Yan stopped when Mr. Gao mentioned the third reason, looked at him smiling and said nothing, he thought that Mr. Gao had something to hide, so he couldn't say more. Huatou, let's talk about the third thing.
This third matter is really difficult to say, Wei Yanqi Ai Aidi tried to hint to Director Gao, can he seize the opportunity to say something nice for the emperor's old and new loves in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can think of them often.
Gao Yong did not expect that his real purpose was for this.
This kind of thing of inviting pets for others is really common in the palace.
There are so many concubines in the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards. Even if they change one by one every night, the wheel will take a long time. Except for the queen's palace rules to guarantee that there will be two nights of blessings every month, whoever is lucky at other times is random. In the emperor's mind, it is normal for people's hearts to favor one side over another. Some concubines can be lucky several times a month, while some concubines may not see the king for several months.
It's just that in this deep palace, if there is no favor from the emperor, how can there be a bright future?Therefore, all the concubines, whether they are favored or not, the favored ones want to be favored exclusively, and the unfavored ones want to be favored, everyone will try their best, just so that the emperor can look at them more.
Winning over the emperor's servants and letting them remind the emperor at the right time is one of their usual methods. Of course, this method has also been proved to be effective by countless facts, especially when the king has no special person in his heart. , when it makes no difference where you go.
However, given the current situation, if the emperor finds out that the chief envoy who invites favors for others is Lord Wei, the emperor will probably be furious.
"Lord Wei, logically speaking, this old slave shouldn't say this, but this old slave is sincerely doing it for His Excellency's good. Your Majesty is at the age of greedy love, so it is inevitable that you will be immoderate in sexual affairs. If Your Excellency said this because of Ye Ye Cheng En, if you can't bear it, you can tell His Majesty clearly, Your Majesty will take care of your body, and you will restrain yourself; if your Majesty has other intentions in saying this, His Majesty will be furious when he finds out, and His Majesty will suffer a lot Don't talk about it, and those sufferings are all eaten and eaten for nothing. It will not help the matter at all. I am afraid that other people will suffer for this matter. I will pretend that the adults have never said these words today, and the old slave has never heard of them. Count." Gao Yongyu persuaded earnestly.
Even if the emperor is in a good mood right now, he won't easily get angry with Lord Wei, but we can't go looking for death like this, deliberately doing such things to pour cold water on the emperor and spoil the emperor's happiness.
"Director Gao..." Wei Yan obviously refused to give up.
In other words, this is the strategy he has thought of so far. It can be said that it is the most tactful and tortuous strategy, but the one that can see the brightest future. It was still the sentence of "His Majesty often visits inside" that Director Gao said inspired him, but he didn't expect that before it was implemented. To die in the womb.
In fact, he himself is also a close servant. Although this "servant" is the "servant" of the guard, but this "close" is still very close, but he really dare not let him carry out this strategy by himself. As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor could see through his inner thoughts at a glance, and then there would be very bad consequences.
It's just that no matter how much he begged, Director Gao refused to allow it, and he still solemnly warned him not to say anything more about the concubines in the harem in front of the emperor.Obviously Director Gao is also worried about him, afraid that he won't find anyone to help him, and he won't give up, so he wants to play this trick in front of the emperor.
Wei Yan really hoped that he had the courage to act in front of the emperor, but unfortunately he didn't, so he was very depressed.
This depression lasted until lunch time. Even the emperor saw his depression and asked him what was going on.Of course Wei Yan didn't dare to say the real reason for his depression, so he could only say that he had been away from home for many days, and as soon as he came back, he entered the palace to serve him, and he was never reunited with his family, so he missed him very much.
After hearing this, the emperor glanced at him, Wei Yan was not afraid because none of the words in this passage were false, and then the emperor allowed him without any difficulty, let him rest for a while before leaving the palace, and allowed him to use it at home. After dinner, he returned to the palace before the palace gate was locked. The whole process went so smoothly that Wei Yan was dumbfounded, thinking for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears.
For the first time since Wei Yan asked for leave to go home, he saw that the emperor was so understanding, magnanimous and cheerful. He used to ask for a long time every time he wanted to go home. This and that, procrastinating and not letting him go.
I didn't expect that today would be so smooth!Sure enough, being a father is different.
Now that he got the emperor's permission, he will be exempted from taking rest. Wei Yan's depression disappeared in an instant, and he thanked En and went home happily.
After returning home, of course, it's not about being idle, but about continuing to give gifts.The family had already sent them off yesterday, and relatives and friends told the housekeeper to handle it as usual. Only a few close friends went to the house, and Wei Yan went there in person.
After everything was over, Wei Yan returned home and had a reunion dinner with his family.When having tea after dinner, his expectations were not fulfilled, and Old Master Wei really praised him, saying something like "Yan'er has grown up, and these small things can be handled by himself, so you don't have to worry about your father." " and the like.
Although Old Hou Wei only gave such a small compliment, for Wei Yan who was always denounced as "not making progress", he was already very satisfied.
I thought this day would pass smoothly, but I didn't expect that after he entered the palace, he found that the atmosphere in the palace was very bad. Everyone guarding the door of the emperor's bedroom gave him a clear look, "Be careful! Go up, ask for more blessings" these eight words.
Wei Yan really wanted to know what happened, it was clear when he left,
Traveling outside during this period, he deliberately suppressed those unbearable old events deep in his heart, tried his best to ignore and forget them, and tried his best to maintain a calm old appearance, as if those unbearable things just happened in nightmares, not really happened to him body.
He is like a tortoise hiding in a tortoise shell, as long as he doesn't poke his head out, he feels safe.But as the capital approached, cracks gradually appeared on the tortoise's shell. That morning on the Qiyang Mansion Pier, it was as if someone hit his tortoise's shell hard with a big hammer, directly protecting his body. The shell was smashed to pieces, exposing the fragile body.
He carefully recalled the emperor's earnest instructions in his ear when his consciousness was blurred that night, recalling the feeling of the emperor's warm breath brushing against his ears, he couldn't help shivering, and only after he settled down did he begin to calculate carefully. , This time out, what exactly did he violate the emperor's prohibition.
Of course, the result of the calculation is desperate, basically one, two, three, four, five, and he committed every one.Anticipating the punishments he would suffer after returning to Beijing, Wei Yan felt his scalp numb and his knees weak.This trip made so many mistakes all at once, I wonder if he will still be ordered to climb down from the emperor's couch?
If possible, I really don't want to go back.
When Wei Yan sat blankly thinking about the countermeasures, this idea couldn't help popping up in his mind.
Of course, this is just his wishful thinking when he was panicking. Let alone his family and friends, he can’t let go, even if he is alone, without the burden of family and friends. "This sentence is not meant to be fun.
Even if he went to the deep mountains and old forests to be with wild beasts, as long as the emperor wanted to catch him, he would definitely be caught, depending on whether the emperor was willing to put in the effort.When that time really comes, his situation will probably be thousands of times worse than it is now.
You can't run, you don't dare to run, you can only bite the bullet and deal with it.Maybe after these days, the emperor already has a new love?Wei Yan thought of this possibility on a whim, and his dying heart was half alive again.
The emperor had said at the time that as long as he had a new lover, he would be released. He has been out for so long this time. According to common sense, the emperor will not stay alone on the empty couch. After that, there is no time to argue with him.
Thinking about it this way, Wei Yan began to feel that the future is not as gloomy as he imagined, and the saying that there is no unparalleled road is often justified.
However, just in case, he still ordered people to lower the sails halfway, trying to delay the time to arrive in Beijing as much as possible, as if if he arrived one day late, the possibility of the emperor having a new love would be more likely.
Wei Yan was afraid, while dawdling, and hurried on the road slowly. By the time the group of them arrived in the capital, it was already the beginning of March.
When the official ship docked, it was still early. Wei Yan reckoned that the emperor was still in the early court at this time, so he went back to the mansion to take a bath, change clothes and tidy up. Watching his mother have lunch and gossiping for a while, seeing that it was getting late and there was really no longer any delay, so he reluctantly got up and went to the palace to reply to the order.
The emperor didn't summon him in the Imperial Study Room, nor did he summon him in the Zhaoren Hall where he was working daily, but actually summoned him in the sleeping hall.After Wei Yan heard the announcement from the servant at the door, his footsteps began to become heavy. When he finally moved to the door of the bedroom, he lingered at the door again. Step inside.
"Lord Wei, please rest assured. Your Majesty is in a very good mood these days. As long as the official business is done, His Majesty will not care about other things with you. Go in quickly. If Your Majesty is in a hurry, I'm afraid you really have to Angry." With such hesitation, he probably couldn't bear to watch Mr. Gao who was guarding the door, so he whispered something to comfort him.
One word awakens the dreamer, perhaps it can also be said that "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear".After listening to Manager Gao's words, Wei Yan suddenly came to his senses like enlightenment. In fact, his previous anxiety was simply asking for trouble.
Although he didn't dare to boast that it was perfect, he completed this errand without any mistakes. No matter how picky the emperor was, unless he wanted to pick bones from eggs, he couldn't find any mistakes at all.
As for other things?Those things are not what a king should ask his courtiers to do. When the emperor said those words, he must have not taken them seriously.
He would worry about the emperor's teasing words on the bed for so long, it was too stupid.And the emperor is in a very good mood these days, could it be that his prayers these days have finally come true?The emperor now has a new favorite, so he is in a great mood?
Wei Yan thought about it carefully, and felt that this should be the case.
In the blink of an eye, his mentality has changed drastically, and his whole spirit has also taken on a new look.Gao Yong saw that he seemed to be a different person suddenly, although he didn't understand which words he said moved him, but since he was willing to go in obediently, Gao Yong stopped talking.
It was very quiet in the dormitory.
The emperor didn't wear court clothes, but only a light casual clothes. He half-lyed on a short couch near the window, squinting his eyes to rest. The early spring afternoon sun lazily shone on him, leaving a mottled halo all over his body.At his feet were two court ladies, sitting on soft plinths and tapping his legs.Such a quiet and peaceful scene is like a warm picture.
At this time, Wei Yan was even more convinced that what Director Gao said was true, and the emperor was in a very good mood at this time.A long, long time ago, oh, it wasn’t that long, maybe two or three months ago, but Wei Yan felt that a long, long time had passed.
At that time, when the emperor was in a good mood, he also liked to steal half a day's leisure, lying quietly and basking in the sun.Occasionally, when it was Wei Yan's turn to guard, such a scene would appear in front of his eyes. At that time, the sun shone on the emperor's handsome face, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light.
Although Wei Yan didn't dare to stare at the emperor at this time, he would hold his breath every time and sneak a glance from the corner of his eye.If there were no things that happened later, in Wei Yan's heart, the young king would always be like a god, who could only look up and worship but could not be approached.It's just that everything that happened afterwards was like a nightmare, a nightmare from which I could never wake up...
Wei Yan suddenly came back to his senses, and found that he was in a daze in front of the emperor. He froze his mind, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and bowed down respectfully to pay his respects.
"Aiqing is flat. Give Master Wei a seat." Emperor Jing raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said.
Wei Yan lowered his head and couldn't see the emperor's expression, but he could feel a soft and lazy flavor in his voice, giving people a lazy feeling.
Wei Yan vaguely remembered that the emperor in this state became very talkative when he was in the Xishan Palace.
The emperor is really in a good mood.Wei Yan once again confirmed that the uneasiness for many days was finally swept away.
Soon a court lady moved a small round pier and put it in front of the couch, inviting him to take a seat.Wei Yan sat down after pleading guilty, and began to report to the emperor everything about his trip to Youzhou.
The emperor closed his eyes and listened, occasionally nodding slightly to show that he was listening, but never asked any questions.
Wei Yan's report came to an end, and he was waiting for the emperor to ask, but the emperor refused to speak.
In the quiet dormitory, Wei Yan was the only one talking. After he stopped, the atmosphere suddenly became weird. The two maids who were kicking the emperor's legs couldn't help themselves in this weird atmosphere. Breathing lightly.
"Your Majesty?" After being silent for about half a cup of tea, Wei Yan finally sensed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"Ai Qing finished?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at him, with an expression on his face that seemed to be waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Yes." Although the expression on the emperor's face made Wei Yan feel very strange, he still answered "Yes" bravely.
"Is there nothing else to report?" the emperor asked him again.
"Yes."
"Aiqing should think about it carefully, if there is anything missing, it would be better to talk back to me."
Wei Yan was silent for a moment upon hearing this.
He can be sure that there are no omissions in the official business. As for that matter, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it. In the end, he replied: "I have thought about it, I haven't."
"In this case, I can only help you to remember well." When he said this, the emperor seemed to have some unspeakable regret in his tone, but the expression on his face was not the same.
Just by looking at the smile on the corner of his mouth, you can tell that at this time, he must be very happy to have the opportunity to "help".
"Your Majesty... I don't understand...it's still blue and white..." Wei Yan didn't understand why things suddenly jumped to the worst direction, trying to make a dying struggle.
However, his struggle was doomed to be useless, because the emperor had already waved his hand to let the serving maids back down, then got up and walked towards him, grabbed his wrist, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "I will let you understand of."
That kind of gentle and terrifying tone made Wei Yan shiver uncontrollably in the warm hall.
Emperor Jing has been in a good mood since the middle of last month. Even after reading the secret documents sent by the secret guards and knowing that someone is acting recklessly and recklessly in a place he can't see, his good mood still hasn't lost half of it.
While smiling, he looked at the secret document sent by the secret guard as a pastime after political affairs, while estimating the time when Wei Yan would return to the capital in his heart.Even though the time for Wei Yan to return to Beijing was delayed again and again, Emperor Jing was still amused by his performance of "up and down, surprised and surprised".
Since you are afraid that he will get angry, don't do these things; if you dare to dawdle and refuse to come back to see him after you do it, isn't that adding to the crime?
But the person who was too scared to come back on the road was not afraid when he really saw him.Listening to him sternly announcing the official business there, and still showing a devotion to his duty after the end, Emperor Jing couldn't help but want to scare him.
He magnanimously gave someone three chances to confess, but it was a pity that someone was always too dull to be taught, no wonder he had to take good care of him.
"Where does Aiqing want to be favored by me?" Emperor Jing asked deliberately, waiting to see him show a shy and embarrassed look.
Sure enough, Wei Yan pursed his lips and refused to speak, but his eyes couldn't help but drifted inside.
Although Emperor Jing felt that pampering him in the sun would definitely be very comfortable, but after thinking about it, Wei Yan's idea made sense. Delicious things should be enjoyed in a place where he can stretch his hands and feet, so there is no objection. He dragged him inside.
"How dare you ignore all the words I said, and do everything that you are not allowed to do. I believe that you must be ready for the punishment you will suffer today?" When he arrived at the bed, Emperor Jing untied Wei Yan's belt and gestured. Wei Yan helped him undress.
"I didn't..." Although Wei Yan was full of reluctance, he still didn't dare to disobey his order. The only small resistance was the slow movement of undressing, trying to delay the time to get on the bed.
"Did Qing think that I was joking at that time? Qing didn't even think about it. When did I joke with Qing?" Emperor Jing saw that Wei Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, and he didn't care. He just continued on his own, " Let me think about it carefully, what kind of mistakes did you make? Being a prostitute and having sex with prostitutes is not counted as being merry and merry, but she even went to buy a beautiful maid, spent day and night together in Wushan, and after eating and wiping her clean, she even abandoned her. In the future, I will be so guilty that I dare not come back to see me, and dare to dawdle on the road deliberately. Wei Yan, how do you think I will punish you? Huh?"
Emperor Jing recounted Wei Yan's mistakes along the way, and his subordinates didn't stop, and quickly stripped Wei Yan clean, and carried him to the couch.The delicacy comes first, and it is a delicacy that has been away for more than a month. Of course, Emperor Jing can't help it, and he doesn't want to bear it.
Some things, Wei Yan was lucky at first, thinking that the emperor would not be able to find out, but it is a pity that the emperor has been in this way for several years, how can he deceive him, but he tried it with his hands, and he knew that he applied the ointment on time as he explained earlier This matter must have been left behind by Wei Yan.
Other things are easier to talk about, Emperor Jing felt that this matter should be remembered long in his memory, so that he would not take other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs in the future.
"Could it be that the ointment I ordered you to use has never been used? If so, I will punish you to prepare yourself in front of me today."
Hearing this, Wei Yan looked up at him in disbelief, only to find that the emperor looked serious, and there was no hint of a joke on his face, and the incense box containing the ointment was delivered to him very quickly.
"No..." Wei Yan shook his head and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The ointment that the emperor ordered him to carry was always in his bag, but he never thought of using it.He could convince himself that the emperor did anything unbearable to him, because he did not dare to resist, could not resist, so he had to be patient, but let him do it by himself, as if his will also surrendered to the other party while his body surrendered. under the body.
He doesn't want to do this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, no matter how big the dragon couch was, there was no place for him to hide, and soon he was cornered by the emperor.
"No?" He couldn't see the expression of the emperor pressing on him and rubbing his ears, he could only hear the emperor's rather playful voice, "What do you mean, do you want me to go in without being ready?"
Speaking of what scared Wei Yan, Emperor Jing kissed his earlobe again, and continued: "Qing's body has become so green, if you go in without preparation, you will definitely be injured, and if you are injured, you will definitely have a fever. It is said that you have a fever." My body is very comfortable, and I'm afraid I won't be able to resist pampering Qing over and over again, and going back and forth like this, does Qing intend to lie on this couch for the rest of his life?"
Lie here forever?Knowing that the emperor's words might just be scaring him, Wei Yan didn't dare to bet.After struggling for a moment, he still took the incense box from the emperor's hand.
"Do it well, otherwise don't cry when you suffer."
As soon as the emperor said this, Wei Yan's expression became even uglier.
He already understood that the emperor would definitely not let him go easily today, he gritted his teeth, and prepared to mess up as soon as he was cruel.
Emperor Jing deliberately said something absurd, in fact, he just wanted to see Wei Yan's shy and unbearable expression, but unexpectedly Wei Yan was forced by him to turn pale, and his interest suddenly dropped, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He didn't regard his body as his own, and the moment he was about to act recklessly, he grabbed his wrist.
"Forget it, give me a kiss, and I will forgive you this time." Well, His Majesty the Emperor finally had to admit that he was really an idiot when he played with Mu Mu on the couch, and he was a idiot who would never change after repeated teaching.
In fact, when a certain wood is only willing to accept one sexual position, and other positions are considered more comfortable by him as punishment, he should understand that there is no such word as "interesting" in the wood's head.
Hearing what the emperor said, Wei Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his mind, but he was afraid that the emperor would regret it after a while, so he straightened up and leaned forward without hesitation, and kissed the emperor's cheek face, and then quickly lay back.
What he did made Jingdi speechless for a long time, and finally he sighed as if resigned to his fate, muttering such words as "those who are angry with idiots are only more idiots", and directly crushed him on the couch.
Although Emperor Jing had said a lot of threatening words about Wei Yan, he did not plan to implement any of them. Wei Yan always had doubts about what he said on the bed, which obviously had a lot to do with it, but He hadn't realized it yet.
He overwhelmed Wei Yan, and taught him what "kissing" is, and he didn't let go until he kissed him until he was breathless.
"This is the kiss, remember?" Emperor Jing stretched out his fingers, caressed Wei Yan's blood-colored lips, and felt a little itchy in his heart, "If you can't remember, do you want me to teach you again?"
"I remember it." Wei Yan nodded desperately, trying to show that he remembered it, and the emperor really didn't need to teach it again.
"Well, that's good." Emperor Jing saw that after the teaching just now, Wei Yan's brows and eyes softened, and there was a trace of softness in his voice, without the rigid, respectful and alienated just now, and he finally felt comfortable.
He took the incense box and began to carefully prepare for Wei Yan's acceptance.Men's bodies are not naturally suitable for sex than women's, and they are more likely to be injured when they are healthy, so no matter how thoughtful and meticulous the preparation before the start, it cannot be overstated.
After more than a month of self-cultivation, Wei Yan's body has returned to the youthful state it was when he was lucky for the first time. Emperor Jing thought that he had hurt him the first time, so of course he didn't dare to act recklessly at this time, and used various methods to provoke him. Only after satisfying his interest can he dare to enjoy it cautiously.
Although this body is so delicious that Emperor Jing couldn't get enough of it, but when he thought of Wei Yan's exhaustion along the way, he felt uneasy, and he must have not had a good rest. It hurt him, tired him, only did it twice, relieved his hunger a little, took a rest and took him to take a bath.
When he returned to the couch with Wei Yan in his arms, he covered him with a brocade quilt, kissed his cheek, and signaled him to close his eyes and rest.Then, he saw Wei Yan looking at him stupidly.No need to ask, just looking at the expression on Wei Yan's face, Emperor Jing knew that Wei Yan couldn't believe that he could pass the test so easily this time.
"You are lucky this time, and it happens that I am in a particularly good mood these few days. Even if I make a big mistake, it's nothing." Emperor Jing originally wanted to chat with Wei Yan, and talk about why he was in a bad mood recently. It's so good, but Wei Yan was probably really tired. After hearing him say a word, he couldn't help squinting his eyes halfway. Seeing his appearance, Emperor Jing swallowed everything he wanted to say, and just stretched out. Reaching out, he stroked the hair on his temples, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I will call you when it's dinner time."
Wei Yan originally thought that the emperor would deal with him ruthlessly when he knew about it, and he was afraid of such a situation along the way, but to his surprise, the emperor did not use any means during the whole process, just holding him in a well-behaved manner. After doing it twice, he was allowed to rest and said it was nothing.
Now that the emperor said so, Wei Yan naturally thought that this matter really passed away.Now that this matter has come to an end, he will definitely not be so stupid as to bring up the old matter again and feel uncomfortable in front of the emperor, so the reminder that Miss Luzhu left for him was just forgotten by him.
Ever since the official ship passed the Qiyang Mansion Wharf, Wei Yan has been worrying and thinking wildly all day long, and has not been able to sleep peacefully. Finally, the emperor scolded him and punished him. What should be done should not be done. He did everything he had done, and he generously expressed that he would forget it.
At this point, he could finally sleep with peace of mind. Coupled with the exhaustion after the intercourse, he slept until noon the next day, not to mention dinner, and he couldn't even catch up with breakfast the next day. superior.
When he woke up, he found himself tightly wrapped in a pile of quilts like a cocoon, and there was no one around him.
He lay in the quilt for a while, and when he woke up, he recalled some fragments left in his mind, and he was a little ashamed.Last night he was in a drowsy sleep, and when he felt that someone was going to grab his quilt, he held onto the quilt tightly and refused to let go, fearing that the person would not give up, and wrapped the quilt around his body again and again, Then quickly go back to sleep with peace of mind.Obviously, this is the real reason why he is currently wrapped in a quilt like a cocoon.
I wonder if the person who came to snatch his quilt is the emperor?I don't know if the emperor was angry when he rolled up the quilt last night and didn't have to cover him?
No matter, anyway, he fell asleep and didn't know anything.
Wei Yan stared blankly at the tassels beside the couch for a moment, then decided to give up thinking about such troublesome issues.Ever since he was a child, trying to figure out other people's thoughts has never been his job, let alone trying to figure out the king's heart, which is extremely difficult.
"Master Wei is awake? His Majesty asked the old slave to come back and have a look. If the lord is still asleep, he ordered the old slave to wake him up, lest he sleep again, and the lord will starve to death. When the lord wakes up, hurry up and wash up Changing clothes and eating, His Majesty ordered the small kitchen to make the crystal steamed dumplings that adults love most."
As soon as Wei Yan sat up, before he had time to call someone, he heard the voice of Director Gao from outside. As the curtain outside was lifted, the ladies of the court came in one after another carrying a set of toiletries, clothes, trousers, shoes and socks.
He didn't feel hungry at first, but after being reminded by Manager Gao, he realized that he was really hungry.At the moment, he just smiled and greeted him without saying much. Under the service of the maid, he rinsed his mouth, cleaned his teeth, shaved his face, tied his hair and put on his clothes, and quickly got dressed.
He tidied up here, and breakfast was also placed on the dining table there.
Wei Yan went to the table and took a closer look. There were more than ten kinds of snacks of various colors, all placed in plain porcelain plates, full of color, fragrance and taste, and looked very appetizing.There are also five or six servings of various soups, which have never been taken out of the soup box. Of course, there are also a few dishes of side dishes.Wei Yan was overly hungry, and wanted to eat lightly, so he ordered plain porridge, and started eating with stewed tofu with shredded chicken.
Meals in the palace are usually prepared by the imperial dining room according to the rules, and then people are sent to collect them by themselves. However, every concubine with a certain status in each palace and courtyard will have a small kitchen in their own palace to meet their whims from time to time. needs.
Naturally, there are small kitchens in the emperor's bedroom. It is said that the small kitchen is relatively "big" compared to the imperial dining room. As far as Wei Yan knows, there are seven or eight small kitchens in the emperor's bedroom. There are two shifts, and there are more than a dozen small servants in charge of chores.
The imperial chef in the small kitchen is good at delicate food, such as all kinds of snacks and soups. For example, the crystal steamed dumpling that Wei Yan likes is one of the special dim sums of the imperial chef in the small kitchen in the emperor's palace. People have eaten steamed dumplings that can teach one to win or lose.
This crystal steamed dumpling lives up to the name of "Crystal". The skin is as thin as paper, and it is really crystal clear.
When Wei Yan tasted it for the first time, he couldn't help eating another one. Seeing that he liked it, the emperor ordered the small kitchen to make it and present it every now and then.
Wei Yan was really hungry today, so he ate very quickly. Of course, no matter how fast his movements were, his demeanor remained stable.Besides, even if he messed up his manner after eating, no one would talk about him, except His Majesty the Emperor.
However, all the palace servants around the emperor knew that even if the emperor wanted to talk about Mr. Wei, most of the time he was just playing tricks to amuse others, and he couldn't take it seriously. Whoever took it seriously would be an idiot.
The bowls in the palace were not big, so Wei Yan ate three bowls of porridge in one go, two plates of steamed crystal dumplings, and some other snacks to fill his stomach.
After breakfast and tidying up, Wei Yan checked the boxes brought by his order yesterday, and started packing them up and down.There are gifts for the personal servants and the bosses everywhere.The things are not expensive, but the products he brought back from his trip to Youzhou. They are just some fabrics, just to express his heart.
Youzhou's products are poor, so the handicraft industry is particularly developed, and its fabrics are somewhat famous in the world. Moreover, the fabrics in the extreme north have their own flavor, so the giver and receiver are happy with each other.As for Director Gao, Wei Yan gave him a blanket made of the fluff of the abdomen of wild antelope. It is said that elderly people cover their legs at night, which has the effect of dispelling cold and dampness.
Gao Yong has been with the emperor for many years, and he has seen many treasures in the world. He can tell that this thing is not like what Wei Yan said, it is just a little thought, and it may be worth a thousand gold.
Although the emperor has always turned a blind eye to such things, based on the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, he knows it well, but as long as they help after receiving the gift, it is harmless and does not violate the emperor's taboo, the emperor will Treat it as not knowing.
But if he accepts the great gift from the lord in front of him, but fails to do what he entrusts, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to explain.Gao Yong is getting old, this gift suits his heart quite well, but when he thinks of Wei Yan's unknown purpose of gift giving, this gift suddenly feels hot.
I just don't know why the Lord in front of me gave such a precious gift.
Of course, he was also very puzzled in his heart, what else in this world, the emperor can't help Wei Yan, but asked him to do it, but he couldn't say it clearly, he just greeted Wei Yan and waited for Wei Yan to speak.
When Wei Yan was choosing gifts in Youzhou, he didn't think too much about it. He only thought that this time he finally took it to heart. After returning to Beijing, his father would definitely not scold him for not being a man. Asking my father to worry about it made me very proud and felt that I was finally sensible.
Now that things are being delivered, Manager Gao smiled and put on a look that everything is easy to discuss, just waiting for him to speak. He finally remembered that he really had a few things that he wanted to ask Manager Gao.
The first thing, of course, is to ask how the emperor was in the mood when he got up early.
After Manager Gao answered "very good", Wei Yan finally felt at ease.Since the emperor was in a good mood, he definitely wouldn't blame him for grabbing the quilt last night.
The second thing is to ask the emperor why he is in such a good mood recently.
After Manager Gao's explanation, he realized that there were three reasons why the emperor was in such a good mood recently.
The first reason is that in terms of political affairs, Enke, who had a lot of discussions in the court and had many opponents, was finally held at the same time as the examination at the insistence of the emperor. It is said that several talents who satisfied the emperor were selected.With smooth political affairs, it is no surprise that His Majesty the Emperor is very happy.
The second reason is that it originated from the harem. In the middle of last month, the imperial physician diagnosed Liu Cairen of the Yonghe Palace who was three months pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and immediately promoted her to be Jieyu and rewarded her with many treasures , someone took good care of her, and often visited her inside.
In the full year of the emperor's wedding, for the first time came the good news that the empress concubine was pregnant and was about to become a father for the first time, so he was overjoyed.
As for the third reason...
Of course, the Emperor's mood will be better because Master Wei is back, but for this reason, Gao Yong is afraid that after he speaks to his face, Master Wei's face will be unbearable, and he will directly become angry from embarrassment, so he didn't speak out, just looked at him smiled.
Wei Yan stopped when Mr. Gao mentioned the third reason, looked at him smiling and said nothing, he thought that Mr. Gao had something to hide, so he couldn't say more. Huatou, let's talk about the third thing.
This third matter is really difficult to say, Wei Yanqi Ai Aidi tried to hint to Director Gao, can he seize the opportunity to say something nice for the emperor's old and new loves in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can think of them often.
Gao Yong did not expect that his real purpose was for this.
This kind of thing of inviting pets for others is really common in the palace.
There are so many concubines in the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards. Even if they change one by one every night, the wheel will take a long time. Except for the queen's palace rules to guarantee that there will be two nights of blessings every month, whoever is lucky at other times is random. In the emperor's mind, it is normal for people's hearts to favor one side over another. Some concubines can be lucky several times a month, while some concubines may not see the king for several months.
It's just that in this deep palace, if there is no favor from the emperor, how can there be a bright future?Therefore, all the concubines, whether they are favored or not, the favored ones want to be favored exclusively, and the unfavored ones want to be favored, everyone will try their best, just so that the emperor can look at them more.
Winning over the emperor's servants and letting them remind the emperor at the right time is one of their usual methods. Of course, this method has also been proved to be effective by countless facts, especially when the king has no special person in his heart. , when it makes no difference where you go.
However, given the current situation, if the emperor finds out that the chief envoy who invites favors for others is Lord Wei, the emperor will probably be furious.
"Lord Wei, logically speaking, this old slave shouldn't say this, but this old slave is sincerely doing it for His Excellency's good. Your Majesty is at the age of greedy love, so it is inevitable that you will be immoderate in sexual affairs. If Your Excellency said this because of Ye Ye Cheng En, if you can't bear it, you can tell His Majesty clearly, Your Majesty will take care of your body, and you will restrain yourself; if your Majesty has other intentions in saying this, His Majesty will be furious when he finds out, and His Majesty will suffer a lot Don't talk about it, and those sufferings are all eaten and eaten for nothing. It will not help the matter at all. I am afraid that other people will suffer for this matter. I will pretend that the adults have never said these words today, and the old slave has never heard of them. Count." Gao Yongyu persuaded earnestly.
Even if the emperor is in a good mood right now, he won't easily get angry with Lord Wei, but we can't go looking for death like this, deliberately doing such things to pour cold water on the emperor and spoil the emperor's happiness.
"Director Gao..." Wei Yan obviously refused to give up.
In other words, this is the strategy he has thought of so far. It can be said that it is the most tactful and tortuous strategy, but the one that can see the brightest future. It was still the sentence of "His Majesty often visits inside" that Director Gao said inspired him, but he didn't expect that before it was implemented. To die in the womb.
In fact, he himself is also a close servant. Although this "servant" is the "servant" of the guard, but this "close" is still very close, but he really dare not let him carry out this strategy by himself. As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor could see through his inner thoughts at a glance, and then there would be very bad consequences.
It's just that no matter how much he begged, Director Gao refused to allow it, and he still solemnly warned him not to say anything more about the concubines in the harem in front of the emperor.Obviously Director Gao is also worried about him, afraid that he won't find anyone to help him, and he won't give up, so he wants to play this trick in front of the emperor.
Wei Yan really hoped that he had the courage to act in front of the emperor, but unfortunately he didn't, so he was very depressed.
This depression lasted until lunch time. Even the emperor saw his depression and asked him what was going on.Of course Wei Yan didn't dare to say the real reason for his depression, so he could only say that he had been away from home for many days, and as soon as he came back, he entered the palace to serve him, and he was never reunited with his family, so he missed him very much.
After hearing this, the emperor glanced at him, Wei Yan was not afraid because none of the words in this passage were false, and then the emperor allowed him without any difficulty, let him rest for a while before leaving the palace, and allowed him to use it at home. After dinner, he returned to the palace before the palace gate was locked. The whole process went so smoothly that Wei Yan was dumbfounded, thinking for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears.
For the first time since Wei Yan asked for leave to go home, he saw that the emperor was so understanding, magnanimous and cheerful. He used to ask for a long time every time he wanted to go home. This and that, procrastinating and not letting him go.
I didn't expect that today would be so smooth!Sure enough, being a father is different.
Now that he got the emperor's permission, he will be exempted from taking rest. Wei Yan's depression disappeared in an instant, and he thanked En and went home happily.
After returning home, of course, it's not about being idle, but about continuing to give gifts.The family had already sent them off yesterday, and relatives and friends told the housekeeper to handle it as usual. Only a few close friends went to the house, and Wei Yan went there in person.
After everything was over, Wei Yan returned home and had a reunion dinner with his family.When having tea after dinner, his expectations were not fulfilled, and Old Master Wei really praised him, saying something like "Yan'er has grown up, and these small things can be handled by himself, so you don't have to worry about your father." " and the like.
Although Old Hou Wei only gave such a small compliment, for Wei Yan who was always denounced as "not making progress", he was already very satisfied.
I thought this day would pass smoothly, but I didn't expect that after he entered the palace, he found that the atmosphere in the palace was very bad. Everyone guarding the door of the emperor's bedroom gave him a clear look, "Be careful! Go up, ask for more blessings" these eight words.
Wei Yan really wanted to know what happened, it was clear when he left,
