EUNUCH SU EUNUCH SU - Chapter 31
After every acupuncture and moxibustion, your Majesty would be extremely chilly, and the imperial physician also deliberately ordered the invisible wind. After consideration in the palace, he simply placed the palace banquet in the Xi Nuan Pavilion, which was burning on the fire.
A four-legged square table surrounded by lotus flowers is placed on the innermost fire kang. The east and west are opposite to each other with cushions and pillows. This is the seat of your majesty and the empress, and down from the side of the kang, two new round sandals have been brought in. The wooden horseshoe crescent table, headed by the sage concubine and the two princes, sits in a circle with the other two concubines, which is a little bit better, and then down there are a few pieces of wood connected to the outside. In a single case, a few unmarried princesses and young princes, as well as the wives and grandchildren of the two princes, are indeed slightly crowded, but your majesty has already given a statement that it is a family banquet. Instead, it is more lively.
It’s just that, for the palace people who are serving in the warm pavilion, they need to be more careful. For such a small place, it needs to be quick and easy, not to get in the way, but also to be comprehensive and not to make mistakes.
Fortunately, both Mother Xu and Aunt Wei know that it is not easy, but they are doing their best to be able to go to the warm pavilion, and the maids who are waiting next to the masters can’t be casual, but those who help out to serve are also adjusted from the front Qingyan Garden. More than a dozen skilled hands who often serve banquets come to help.
And according to the palace banquet, before the formal meal, there should have been eight fruit base plates, dried fruit fragrant medicines and other things that were just used to smell and look good, but they were all omitted by your majesty’s “Simplify everything.” According to the previous rules, even the desks of His Majesty Kang and Empress Empress had only used Liuwei candied fruit, Liuwei snacks, and eight tastes of dried meat and eight fresh fruits. They were already full.
Don’t be afraid to put these things, they are all set up in advance before the masters come, and the rest of the main dishes need to be presented now. In addition, there are spare bowls, chopsticks and cups, jug spoons, and The Shuipa bean noodles before and after the clean hands are all trivial, just called Qiuya Hongyun, Luxuewuqing and the few Sishi maids who are busy for a while.
In comparison, Huiming’s few of the suitors were a little more relaxed. Huiming was too busy with the difference in his hands. Hearing that the two princes had also come outside the hall, after thinking about it, he took advantage of the chaos. He also went to Xi Nuan Pavilion only in the name of helping.
The two princes did not delay such an important family banquet. Before noon, they brought their family members into the palace. The princesses went to the harem to greet the empress, and the two princes came straight to the Palace of Qiande. Here, after a few gossips before your Majesty, he just sat and waited on the nanmu chair outside the Xi Nuan Pavilion.
The anger of Xi Nuan Pavilion is just right for your Majesty, who is recovering from the serious illness, but if it is someone else, it is a little hot. The two princes had been prepared for a long time. After taking off the big cloak outside, they were all in single clothes inside. It was a family banquet. There was no need to wear the prince’s uniform. The prince believes that he put on a toga and a gentle belt. He is elegant, but Rui Wang is still in a vermilion outfit, and he looks more and more like a mighty general.
And when these two get together, according to the usual practice, they will definitely have a few words of quarrel, just like this moment, in front of the house full of people, just said a few words of face, the King of Rui has already With a thick voice, she said without evasiveness: “The Queen’s body has always been bad recently. This winter solstice will have to stay up all night, the third brother should watch carefully, don’t get sick again!”
The King of Letters only smiled politely: “It’s been a lot better in the past few days, and I still need to thank the concubine Xian Niang for your questions every day.”
The status of the concubine is not as good as the middle palace, but she has always been favored. The empress of the queen is honored by status, but she has no holy favor. These two are like the first daughters of Wang Rui, and they have their own support. In this palace, There is already a faint confrontation, and even the two princes who have been out of the palace have to fight over their tongues.
Huiming listened to a few words attentively through the indomitable Duobaofang. Seeing such open taunts and trivial gossip, he lost interest in listening carefully. After returning to his mind, he also found that he was putting it aside. Qiuya’s complexion in the wine cup seemed a little pale, and there was a bit of weakness between her actions.
In other words, it was the feeling of living in the same room for so long. Upon seeing this, Huiming asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Qiu Ya, who was always refreshed, shook her head without much effort even to speak: “I had a bowl of cold tea last night and made a noise all night.”
Things are so busy right now, such as those in the palace, these small problems have to be endured by themselves, especially this holiday is busy, and there is no time to rest. I can only say that Qiuya was not lucky, last night Li was too careless. Huiming couldn’t help but tell her that if she couldn’t hold it, she should speak to Aunt Wei early. Even if she had to blame, it would be better than making a mistake before the imperial court, Qiu Ya He also nodded in response.
The two kings of Xin and Rui waited for a few quarters of an hour in the Xi Nuan Pavilion, and the concubine Xianfei brought a few concubines and concubines to the Palace of Condemnation. The two princesses who have not yet married also followed very well. Next to the mothers and concubines, even the nine infants in the swaddling highness, were also looked after by the two nurses, and were carefully sent to the warmest place in the innermost place.
In the Nuan Pavilion, greetings were greeted one after another, and the caring and polite lines rang out. Except for your majesty and the queen who were still talking in the inner hall, the master who did not come, there was only one Xiaoqi.
Yes, maybe when your Majesty just recovered from his illness, the fact that Majesty Wang took the Seventh Highness to beg for a few visits worked. Although your Majesty has never called the Seventh Highness once, he still remembers such a person in his heart. The family banquet in the palace was also ordered, and asked people to see. If the “condition” is not obstructive, then come over to the banquet. Huiming also went to Jingfangzhai a few days ago to ask about it. Although the cough on Mother Wang’s body was not good, but after thinking about it, she was still unwilling to give up such a great opportunity and decided to bring her down to ask for peace. If you step down again, it’s good to see your Majesty, so that the people under you don’t dare to be too contemptuous, and life will always be better.
Looking at the situation in the hall, Huiming looked out of the hall a little worried. Not only was he anxious about why the Seventh Palace hadn’t come yet, but also worried about the noise in the Nuan Pavilion, even if the Seventh Palace was down, he would not be able to bear it. Live, after waiting in the hall for a long time, after all, I couldn’t stand it. After thinking about it, I still found a space to block out the Nuan Pavilion and greeted him outside.
In the end, I saw the hurrying-looking Highness Seven and Grandma Wang on the palace road outside the west gate.
Huiming breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward again: “Why did you come here? Your Majesty and Empress are coming out soon. If your Royal Highness is later than your Majesty, it would be too rude.”
Madam Wang was also anxious and she was a little uncomfortable. She coughed and stomped her feet and said: “Tian Guima heard that His Majesty wants to see His Highness Seven. Taking advantage of my carelessness, she just called her over to teach. I heard it stopped and I almost couldn’t get out.”
Tian Guibing’s temperament, Huiming, is naturally clear, and he has actually learned many times. He frowned when he heard this, and quickly turned to look at the expression of his little majesty.
Knowing that His Royal Highness Seven is going to face the saints, the Department of System Management naturally did not dare to delay this time. What was sent was a dark garnet red cotton straight? , The outer part is covered with a golden moiré lining hair ratio armor. Although this color is tacky but also festive, it is also suitable for the exceptionally exquisite features of His Highness Seven.
But at the moment, His Royal Highness did not have the normal calmness of the previous few days. Although he did not say a word, it was more like being frightened and completely stunned, but his whole body was trembling slightly, holding the fingers of the Buddhist beads. It was pinched to death, but it was stiff and motionless, and his eyes were dumbfounded.
Huiming’s heart felt tight when he looked at the Seventh Majesty. She has only seen such a situation a few times with the Seventh Majesty. It usually happened when he couldn’t escape, couldn’t accept it, and shouted madly as he couldn’t bear it. After screaming, the waiting body really has no strength, and will be at the mercy of others like a puppet.
The people next to him would really feel that such a little majesty is not bad. In short, it’s just a look. It’s more obedient, but Huiming knows that it’s just looking quiet for a while, but every time it comes, the little majesty’s The illness will get worse, and it will not be alleviated for months.
“Why is it like this!” Hui Ming was a little anxious, and scolded the stupid and hateful Tian Guiren all the time. These days, seeing the little majesty is much better, she thought that this time there was Madam Wang. Now, I even have some hope in my heart, thinking that maybe I can slowly let the little majesty return to normal. Whoever wanted to see a good one, but let Tian Guibi pull his hind legs!
“Can I still go to a banquet to invite Ann?” Hui Ming was worried.
“How can you tell your Majesty not to go over there!” Madam Wang was also embarrassed: “And I also think, taking advantage of this while being obedient, I will go to your Majesty and buckle her head before returning.”
Huiming understands what the Majesty Wang meant, the opportunity is rare, and it is not easy to remember, your Majesty’s side finally remembered the Seventh Majesty’s command to see you, if you don’t insult again this time, I’m afraid your Majesty will be even more bored to ignore the Seventh Majesty This son.
After taking a deep breath, Huiming knelt down in front of the Seven Halls, first took a breath and calmed his voice, then looked at it and said slowly: “Your Majesty, my majesty and I, I want to take you to your Majesty. ,do you know?”
His Highness Seven’s gaze just fell in the air vainly, and still had no response.
Huiming’s words continued: “Your Majesty has a lot of people in front of you, queens, concubines, princesses, and palace maids. They are much more than in Jingfangzhai. They all talk and are very noisy. Your Majesty may even call you. Come here and ask you a question. By then, everyone will stare at you.”
After saying this, Huiming stopped for a while, watching the response of His Highness Seven.
His Highness Seven still didn’t say a word, but the palm of his hand holding the Buddhist beads moved slightly, and he shrank in fear.
Huiming understood that this was before the peak, at least he could hear what others said.
Knowing this, Huiming breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he stretched out his hand slowly, covering the palm of the small hall that was firmly holding the Buddhist beads.
At the moment when Hui Ming’s palm completely covered the slender and pale fists of Little Highness, the eyes of His Highness Seven suddenly shook, and the trembling on his body was also particularly apparently transmitted to Hui Ming through the palm of his hand.
Hui Ming didn’t stop. Before the little majesty had reacted to the panic and screamed, he took advantage of the trend and held him tightly in his arms, pressing his face against his shoulders. , And closed the eyes of the little majesty from behind with the palm of his hand, telling him to just lean against this darkness.
Grandma Wang was shocked when she saw this and was waiting to be stopped, but for a moment, seeing that her Highness did not yell, she stopped in surprise.
Huiming didn’t move, waiting for the little majesty’s stiff body to relax a little bit, and then softly opened his mouth: “I know your majesty is afraid, but it’s for the sake of the mother, and for the future of your majesty, this time. I have to go, wait a while for your Highness to enter, and after kowtow to His Majesty, we begin to count the Buddhist beads, and we have counted 10,000. Ma and I will take your Highness out and go home, OK?”
His Royal Highness Seven was stiff and motionless, but Hui Ming was not in a hurry. Although the hour was obviously too late, she just waited quietly and patiently without realizing it.
After a long while, I don’t know how long it has passed. Just when Huiming’s knees were tingling in the cold wind, she finally felt the response of His Highness Seven——
He nodded slightly,
