After taking off the cloak, Wen Xiaotu was left with only a small jacket made of smoky pink brocade material. The lower body was a moon-white jade rabbit brocade horse-face skirt, and she also wore thin cotton-lined crotch pants inside.
For people who are freezing, going out for a walk like this is enough to keep out the cold.
It's just that Wen Xiaotu has been short of energy and blood since that period of heavy menstrual blood. Even indoors, he has to wear thin cotton to prevent his hands and feet from getting cold. Wen Xiaotu once secretly measured the indoor temperature with a thermometer, although it was not comparable.
It's heated in the north, but it's still 18 or 19 degrees high.
Alas, I still have to nurse myself back to health slowly.
Emperor Mingzhao slowly took a sip of tea, looked at Mrs. Wen who was standing in front of him, and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes." Wen Xiaotu responded obediently. Seeing the emperor sitting on the Arhat couch near the window, he went up and sat on the Nanguan hat chair nearby, folding his hands on his knees, very demurely.
Outside the palace there was the sound of falling snow. Emperor Ming Zhao also suffered from some wind and snow. The snowflakes on Shanyi's crown had melted into snow water, but were not wet. Ming Zhao conveniently removed the crown and placed the mahogany hat aside.
On the kang table.
Wen Xiaotu saw this and couldn't help but secretly praise the emperor for resisting the cold. It was already mid-November. This era was obviously colder than modern times, and the temperature was comparable to the twelfth lunar month. However, the emperor was still not wearing furs.
Wearing a thin jacket, the crown of the hat is still a single hat.
My body is so good.
The Emperor Mingzhao saw that Mrs. Wen was as quiet as a gourd with its mouth cut off, and was a little too quiet. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he coughed and found something to say: "You are not bad in Nuange. It is not like in the mother's harem.
It’s so hot that people can’t sit still.”
Wen Xiaotu envied the temperature of Yi Nian Palace and whispered: "Yi Nian Palace is indeed very warm." - I'm afraid it's twenty-five degrees, I'm envious~
Then he lowered his head and remained as quiet as a chicken.
Being so quiet made Mingzhao a little uncomfortable, "You have become more and more reticent recently."
The corner of Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched. She was suspected by the emperor just because of her protruding mouth. In the end, she was tricked and intimidated by the Dog Emperor, so she had to reveal the secret of the Mustard Seed Space. She also had the secret of reviving corpses, which had not been exposed yet. She didn't want to
What a bad thing to be done by your mouth again.
"Don't the emperor like peace and quiet?" Wen Xiaotu whispered.
Ming Zhao fell silent. After all, there was a gap.
"You...I..." Mingzhao didn't know what to say for a moment. He was actually not good at getting close to women. He hadn't been close to women for almost four years. As his ability to read minds became stronger, he only became more and more interested in getting close to women.
When he felt that women were noisy, he became more and more disgusted with things between men and women, and would always repel all women who came near him with a cold face.
Ah Yao's idea is nothing more than to let me coax Mrs. Wen, at least to get her to obey half-heartedly, and then gradually figure out what she wants in the future. But Mingzhao is really not good at coaxing women!
There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, only the sound of the north wind howling outside the hall could be heard.
Wen Xiaotu just lowered his head and looked at the agate beads on the toes of his shoes. By the way, why did the emperor come to Changyi Palace today? Just sit there like this? What do you mean? Anyway, her secret of resurrecting the dead is really impossible.
explain!
You must control your mouth and don't make random remarks! Wen Xiaotu warned himself over and over in his heart.
"Are you... okay?" Emperor Mingzhao held it in for a long time, and could only hold back these four words.
Wen Xiaotu was confused, "Concubine... very good."
"Well, that's good." Ming Zhao muttered four more words, and then he didn't know what to say.
There was silence again.
Wen Xiaotu:????Does this emperor have cat disease?
After a long time, Emperor Mingzhao coughed and asked seriously: "Is there anything you want?" - Mingzhao felt that coaxing a woman was the same as showing kindness, so he asked Wen first if he wanted anything.
.
Wen Xiaotu was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Concubine, I am so blessed by the emperor's grace. I am very contented."
Does Wen have nothing more to ask for...
No, how can you ask for nothing? You just asked me to do the Lao Shi Zi powder ointment business.
Ming Zhao then asked: "Aren't you going to let the Wen family handle the business of the rouge and gouache shop?"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "Concubine has entrusted Liang Wanguan to contact the concubine's mother's family." - Concubine and mother clan naturally can only rely on eunuchs. Especially a high-level eunuch like Liang Wanguan, in
There are private residences outside the palace! Although the palace is strictly forbidden, it is not difficult for some respectable eunuchs to get out of the palace.
Ming Zhao couldn't help but said: "Don't you want to see your mother?"
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, seeing Wen Rutu's mother?
Although she inherited the memory of the original owner, she did not inherit the feelings. Although the original owner's mother, Xu, was gentle and virtuous, to her, she was just a stranger with a good impression.
Naturally, since she took advantage of her daughter, she should pay more dividends to her family when the rouge and gouache shop opens.
Wen Xiaotu lowered his head: "Concubine Lin Xian and Concubine Xin Zhaorong can't see their family members easily. How can I dare to cross the two empresses?"
Being so humble and gentle made Ming Zhao secretly sulky. He wanted to lecture others: It was granted by me, so why do you care what the Lin family and Xin family think? Compared with me, what are the two of them?
But Mingzhao has not forgotten his purpose. He tried his best to suppress his sullenness. He cannot get angry or have an attack. Wen didn't do anything wrong. If I let my temper go, I will only scare Wen further and further away from me.
!
Ming Zhao took a deep breath and said: "If you didn't remind me, you would have forgotten. It's already the twelfth lunar month, and the Lin family and the Xin family have worked hard over the years without any merit, so I will also allow the female relatives of the Lin family and the Xin family to enter the palace to meet each other."
."
After hearing this, Wen Xiaotu was dumbfounded. What's the rhythm? Hasn't the emperor always been dissatisfied with the virtuous concubine Xin Zhaorong? Why is he suddenly favoring her now?
Ming Zhaofu said again: "In this way, you can safely meet your mother's family members."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned on the spot. Could it be that the emperor gave Concubine Lin Xian and Xin Zhaorong grace just to allow her to see her family at ease?
Speaking of this, Wen Xiaotu obviously had no room to refuse, so he had to stand up quickly and solemnly bowed his knees: "Concubine, I thank the emperor for his grace."
Let's meet her when we see her. After all, she is her own mother. Even if she doesn't care, Mrs. Xu must miss her daughter very much.
"Oh, by the way." Ming Zhao pretended to be very casual and asked casually: "Does your mother have a royal decree?"
Where can I easily get a decree?
"No." Wen Xiaotu replied.
Ming Zhao frowned slightly and looked embarrassed: "When women enter the palace, they must first see their mother. If there is no imperial edict, it is really inappropriate."
If you don't have a royal title as a co-author, you're not qualified to enter the palace?
Wen Xiaotu said: "Then... let's just forget about my concubine's mother."
Ming Zhao choked, do you really not understand what I mean, or are you just pretending to be stupid? Ming Zhao looked at Mr. Wen, well, he must be really stupid.
Ming Zhao took a deep breath and said, "I have just agreed to allow your mother's daughter and her family to come to the palace to see each other. How can you go back on your word?"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Then what do you mean? You don't mean to give Mrs. Xu a royal title, do you?
Ming Zhao looked at Wen's quail-like appearance and said straightforwardly without beating around the bush, "Since your father is the fifth-rank magistrate of the state, I will give your mother the pleasant imperial edict of the fifth-rank."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, he really gave Mrs. Xu an order!
"Your Majesty..." Wen Xiaotu stared blankly at the emperor who acted out of common sense, and said in fear, "The emperor is so kind to me, I'm really frightened!"
Seeing Wen's appearance, Emperor Mingzhao felt very uncomfortable.
