The imperial study room was cool and quiet. Emperor Mingzhao glanced at the quiet Wen next to him, and could not help but straighten his eyebrows and continue to write Zhu Zhu.
Wen Xiaotu silently touched his lower abdomen and looked at the small iceberg in the ice jar. The cold air seemed a bit strong...
Ming Zhao was so perceptive that he said lightly, "You can go and pass the snacks." - This Wen family, it hasn't been long since breakfast, right?
Wen Xiaotu was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized, "Brother, I'm really not hungry this time!"
However, she made no excuses. The snacks in the imperial dining room were delicious. You can eat them even if you are not hungry!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Xiaotu said in a brisk tone and walked out with brisk steps to pass out tea and snacks.
Then, the situation in the Imperial Study Room was almost the same as yesterday afternoon. His Majesty the Emperor was buried in his desk and busy at work, with only a new cup of tea, while Wen Xiaotu sat on the Arhat couch near the window and had snacks.
Wen Xiaotu also conveniently placed the pillow that was originally placed on her arm on her belly. Holding the tea cup, she carefully blew the hot air and took a sip. She suddenly felt that her stomach felt much better.
Ming Zhao took a sip of herbal tea and glanced at Mr. Wen. On a hot day, he even drank tea that burned his mouth. This Mr. Wen was really not afraid of the heat.
Wen Xiaotu indeed specially ordered a cup of hot milk tea for herself. During her aunt period, she couldn't do anything wrong. At this moment, she really didn't envy those grown men who didn't have to suffer every month.
She didn't have severe menstrual cramps, but she felt uncomfortable these past few days.
The Luohan couch was very nice here. It was far away from the ice jar, and the sun shone through, which warmed her back. She was eating sweet and soft snacks freshly baked in her mouth. The large amount of sugar supplement made her feel extra special.
Physical and mental comfort.
Ming Zhao saw it and couldn't help but said: "Don't you feel hot?" - The entrance is hot, and you have to bask in the sun there.
Wen Xiaotu quickly stood up and replied: "I think this is the right place."
Ming Zhao: Are women more resistant to heat???
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly came to His Majesty's desk and poured some red ink. Seeing that His Majesty was no longer angry, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Why does the Emperor treat my concubines so well? If
It is said that rewards are based on merit, and the emperor has already promoted the status of concubine, but today the emperor summoned the concubine again..."
Ming Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What? Don't you want to come and serve my pen and ink?"
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but said: "But there are obviously eunuchs who have already polished the ink..." She was just serving a ball of wool, and it was obviously more like eating and drinking.
Ming Zhao was silent for a moment and said, "I have to leave someone to serve me." Otherwise, Liang Kunyu would die of nagging. I would rather be the Wen family than eunuch Mo Mo or other palace maids.
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. The emperor's servants now only served tea and poured ink. This kind of work did not require any professional skills. It could be done by one person, so she was naturally qualified.
But aren’t the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the emperor qualified for the job?
Doesn't the emperor like to have his maids and eunuchs waiting close to him?
Wen Xiaotu scratched the back of her head, but she still didn't quite understand.
Ming Zhao said calmly: "You are quite quiet."
Wen Xiaotu was confused: "Are the maids and eunuchs around you very noisy?" - They were all as silent as chickens.
Ming Zhao was silent for a moment, then said: "Take it with you, I don't need your service here."
Wen Xiaotu: That’s good!
So I slipped back to the big Arhat couch in the clinic, eating and drinking, which was extremely comfortable.
At almost noon, there was a knock on the door of the imperial study room, and Liang Kunyu's voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and the eldest princess are here to pay their respects!"
Wen Xiaotu paused, "Xianfei? Eldest princess? Are you here to compete for favor?"
Emperor Mingzhao frowned, put down his ink pen, and said loudly: "Let Jinyan come in!"
Wen Xiaotu: Does this mean that Concubine Xian doesn’t need to come in?
"Yes!" Liang Kunyu responded, and then the door of the imperial study room was opened.
After a while, I saw a cute little girl wearing a bright red ruffled gold coat with flowers, her forehead slightly drooped and her steps graceful, Tingting walked in.
Wen Xiaotu also quickly cleaned up the snack residue on his body, then hurriedly got off the bed, straightened his clothes and veil, and quickly walked to stand beside His Majesty the Emperor.
The eldest princess is only seven years old. Her hair is combed in horns and her hair is not much, but her hair is full of gold and jade. She is dressed in bright clothes. She looks like a wealthy little girl from a New Year painting.
"My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father." The soft and clear voice was full of childishness, and the eldest princess felt blessed.
After saluting, the eldest princess slowly raised her head and saw the veiled woman standing next to her father. She must be her father's new favorite, Beauty Wen, so she hurriedly said, "Hello, Mrs. Wen.
"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly knelt down and returned the courtesy. Although she was the eldest in terms of seniority, in terms of rank, the princess was naturally more valuable. Therefore, although she could accept the courtesy, according to the rules, she had to return the courtesy. A title like her was not qualified.
A concubine in the harem who is called "Empress" can be called "Mother".
Seeing his daughter, the emperor's eyebrows stretched and his expression was gentle, "It's such a hot day, why do you come here to say hello at this hour?"
There was indeed a layer of fine beads of sweat on Princess Jinyan's forehead, and her little face was flushed red from the sun. "The mother-in-law said that I haven't paid my respects for many days, so I brought my son here."
Ming Zhao felt disgusted in his heart because he was just trying to use his child to gain favor.
Princess Jinyan couldn't help but secretly look at the Wen Meiren. Just now, she clearly saw that the Wen Meiren was sitting on the couch over there eating tea... She was obviously here to serve her father, but she felt like she was in her own palace.
, it seems that Wen Meiren is really loved by the father, no wonder the mother and concubine are so jealous.
Listening to Jinyan's inner thoughts, Mingzhao couldn't help but cast a glance at Mr. Wen. Indeed, this Mr. Wen was very courageous and familiar, and didn't regard himself as an outsider.
Wen Xiaotu was so frightened by the emperor's sight that she apologized and said with a smile: "Since the Concubine Xian is here, I'd better go out and pay her respects."
The Concubine Xian must not be allowed to think that the emperor did not summon the Concubine Xian because she was causing trouble.
Ming Zhao couldn't hear Wen Xiaotu's thoughts, but he still saw her thoughts at a glance, and simply said: "Well, go ahead."
Wen Xiaotu was blessed and walked out of the imperial study, only to find that the concubine Xian was not in the outer room, but outside the palace - she was not even allowed to enter the palace door... After all, this is your daughter's wedding.
Mom.
Wen Xiaotu complained silently, hurriedly and carefully lifted her skirt, and stepped out of the high threshold of Sheng'an Palace. As expected, she saw the Concubine Xian standing on the platform outside the palace.
There is no sunscreen in this era, and if you stay in the sun for a long time, you will definitely get darker, so Concubine Xian's eldest maid, Zelan, is holding a big Qingluan square umbrella to provide shade, but Concubine Xian is still sweating.
As soon as Wen Xiaotu walked out, she felt the heat coming over her face, which made her feel dizzy. She composed herself, knelt down and said, "My dear concubine, Jin An."
Concubine Xian glanced at her and said, "Beautiful Wen, are you going back?" - Does the emperor want to leave a message of caution and share lunch?
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly whispered: "I heard that the Concubine Xian was coming, how could I just turn a blind eye, so I came out to say hello."
Concubine Xian forced a smile and said, "Meimei Wen does know the rules."
At this moment, Wen Xiaotu heard the sound of soft footsteps and turned around to see the eldest princess walking out with a sullen look on her face.
Concubine Xian's face changed, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
Princess Jinyan lowered her head and said, "Father said that since the weather is hot, I asked you not to come to pay your respects at noon." - Although her father cared about her, Princess Jinyan still felt very disappointed.
Concubine Xian sighed, she was just a princess after all and could not please the emperor.
But in front of Mrs. Wen, Concubine Xian still forced a smile and said, "Your father loves you very much and is afraid that you will suffer from heat stroke." After saying that, Concubine Xian held onto Princess Jinyan's little hand and said, "Go back to Jingyi Palace."
The collection has just exceeded 1,000, and alas, I’m on the street again.o(╥﹏╥)o
