Taking advantage of this moment, Su Peisheng quickly put the tea cup away. Although his movements were fast, his palms were very steady, and not a drop of tea in the cup spilled out.
When the little eunuch saw this, he quickly got up and wanted to take the tea cup from Su Peisheng's hand: "Eunuch Su, please make it again!".
Su Peisheng slapped him on the back of the head, glared at him, made a silence gesture, then took the tea cup and went to make tea himself.
At this time, as soon as Yin stretched out his hand, Eunuch Chen immediately picked up the sign.
The lacquer box made of rosewood has a square circumference and is covered with bright yellow brocade on the inside. On it is an auspicious pattern with ten thousand words and auspicious patterns. The eyes are full of wealth and wealth, and there are clusters of flowers. The green head tablet is in the shape of a long strip, with moderate thickness. Each piece is polished smooth and smooth, and the tentacles are warm. , waiting in a long queue.
Behind Yin's dragon chair are two huge candle stands, with many small stands spread out like lush flowers and trees. Each stand is lit with candles, and they are as thick as the arms of a six- or seven-year-old child.
There is a long table on the east side of the front hall, which is full of memorials. Some of them cannot be put down, so they are spread on the chairs next to it, making it slightly messy.
Eunuch Chen bent over and waited with bated breath.
Outside Qianqing Palace.
Although it's snowing, when it's time to light the lanterns, not a single lantern should be lit in the Qianqing Palace.
The eunuchs in charge of lighting the lanterns took the long poles wrapped with black gold and raised the palace lanterns high up. They lit the lanterns under the eaves of various palaces in the Qianqing Palace one after another. Gradually, the dim yellow light became a line. , and connected into a piece, outlining the magnificent outline of Qianqing Palace.
Although the wind and snow were severe, from a distance, the majestic palace looked like a palace in the sky, and it was extremely cold at high places.
The eunuch who was lighting the palace lantern trembled with his hands and took a breath. It was too cold. As soon as he shook his hand, a snowflake fell on his eyebrows. It was immediately melted by his body temperature and turned into snow water, falling into his eyes. Inside, he blinked and saw a row of sedan chairs slowly approaching in the snow. As he got closer, he recognized that they were the sedan chairs of Yikun Palace.
Needless to say, the one who came was naturally Concubine Nian.
The young eunuch lowered his head and pursed his lips to his companion. He saw the sedan chair approaching and stopped under the eaves of the Qianqing Palace. Two servants held up two huge umbrellas to cover the concubine tightly. She stretched out her hand to the palace maid, and was helped out of the sedan chair charmingly.
Inside the palace.
Yin's hand passed over the gold and lacquered signs such as "Nian Fei", "Ning Fei", "Qi Fei", "Guo Guiren", etc., but did not stop, and finally turned to the most inconspicuous "Ji Changzai" superior.
"How about you take the imperial doctor to have a look? Is there any serious problem if Ji Chang is in your body?"
Eunuch Chen smiled and said, "To the emperor, Ji Changzai is blessed. Thanks to the emperor's protection, Doctor Di said that Ji Changzai's body has almost recovered. He's doing well!".
Yin said casually: "Really? The last time I looked at her, her face looked a little worse."
Eunuch Chen raised his head. Listening to his tone, the expression on his old face became ambiguous. Before he could speak again, Yin had already reached out and turned over the sign "Ji Changzai". His tone was still light: "Send it to her." Come and show me."
"Concubine Nian, your Majesty is still reviewing the memorial. He has given instructions... No one can disturb you. Please don't embarrass me!" The eunuch guarding the entrance of the palace smiled and said to Concubine Nian.
Concubine Nian snorted coldly, raised her hands and loosened the fur and fox cloak on her body. The inside of the cloak was Sichuan brocade, supplemented by plain weaving stitching. If you look at it from the side, it is as smooth as a mirror, and the tentacles are also extremely silky. Concubine Nian As soon as he untied it, the cloak fell to the ground like water. Fortunately, the palace maid behind him caught it quickly and did not drop the clothes on the ground.
Concubine Nian walked straight forward, and the maid behind her quickly followed. Although the eunuch opened his arms, he did not dare to stop him, let alone touch the concubine's body in the harem. He was so worried that he stamped his feet again and again, with a grimace on his face and could only sing loudly.
: "The Nian Concubine has arrived!".
Yin heard it inside, frowned, and then continued to review the memorial with a calm face.
Eunuch Chen quickly held the tray and wanted to leave, but he heard Concubine Nian shouting, "Wait a minute!", and then hurriedly stepped forward and walked to the tray.
Eunuch Chen smiled and said, "I have seen Concubine Nian."
The concubine Nian reached out and turned over the sign chosen by Yin. When she saw the three words "Ji Changzai" written on it, a look of surprise and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
After a long while, she bit her lip, walked quickly to the dragon case, knelt down and saluted: "I send my regards to the emperor."
As if he had just seen her, Yin raised his head and responded, smiling: "It's windy and snowy, why are you here, Concubine Nian?".
Concubine Nian frowned slightly, turned sideways, and said with a bit of complaint: "Your Majesty, you don't care, how long has it been since you came to Yikun Palace?" After saying this, she turned around and signaled to the palace maid, who immediately
Passed the food box over.
The concubine Nian personally carried the food box. Su Peisheng saw that the food box was heavy and quickly stepped forward to help her pass it to the table. He then opened the food box and saw two kinds of soup inside, a bird's nest and a cup of eight treasure flowers.
Glutinous fish soup.
Concubine Nian said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I made this with my own hands, please try it."
Yin took a look, smiled and praised: "Nian Fei's craftsmanship has become more and more sophisticated, but I still have some memorials on hand that I haven't finished yet, so you can leave them for now."
Concubine Nian's expression softened a little, but she still stood.
Yin lowered his head and read another memorial. When he raised his head and saw that she hadn't left yet, he comforted her and said, "Concubine Nian is so troublesome. I will definitely drink it."
Su Peisheng had been with Yin for many years and knew his master's temper well. At this time, he could hear the hint of patience in Yin's tone. He couldn't help but feel worried for Concubine Nian, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Concubine Nian, Your Majesty
I’m busy right now, look at the snow, you’d better go back to Yikun Palace first,”.
Concubine Nian turned a deaf ear and turned around, found a chair and sat down. There was a more serious look on her face, and she said in a long voice: "Your Majesty, I have to watch you drink it with my own eyes before I count."
While talking, the maid next to her handed her a warm hand stove.
Eunuch Chen was almost sweating. He didn't dare to raise his eyes at this time. He just said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this servant has resigned?" Seeing that Yin didn't say anything, he picked up the lacquer plate and smiled at Nian Fei.
After bowing, he relaxed his steps and walked out backwards.
Inside the palace.
The eight-treasure fish soup on the dragon table slowly evaporates with white heat, and emerald green onions float in the milky-white fish pond. The fragrant smell hits your face, as if waiting for Yin to lift the chopsticks and taste the fragrance.
Su Peisheng quietly took a look at Yin's face.
The nian concubine was still sitting on the chair, holding the hand stove, and it seemed that she was determined to wait.
Yin's eyes fell heavily on the memorial in front of him.
