Just waited for a while, and when the candle tears flowed through several layers, Yuan Xun slowly opened his eyes.
He hasn't had such a solid sleep for a long time.
The gem-like blue-gray eyes turned slightly. When I saw the little girl beside me who was sleeping until drooling with her mouth, a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes, and then a deep and unknown color was dyed.
She just sat quietly and slept, her little head tilted, her collar was slightly open, and her white neck looked longer and slender, as if she could break it with a little force.
He thought of the news that Chang Xi asked about, saying that she had fallen into water this winter and almost couldn't survive.
She is both delicate and weak, and she can't protect herself in a small back house. Now that she has arrived at this strange and changeable harem, how can she survive?
Acuo felt like a bug ran to his face, and couldn't help but reach out and wave it twice.
But after a while, the furry bug ran to his face and tossed.
She frowned and opened her eyes unhappily, but saw a beautiful hand holding the end of her braid.
There is no bug, it is clearly a childish man who is a prank!
She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand, and complained in anger, "You, you... why are you like this?"
Shen Danruo grew up in Gusu and had a soft and soft accent. He said something from her that she was angry and complaining, but she seemed to act coquettishly, with a bit of seductive coquettishness.
When Yuan Xun was said this, she inexplicably felt like an adult bullying a child.
He let go of her big black braid and narrowed his long eyes slightly, "I'll tell you to keep me asleep, you'll be fine, you'll sleep soundly."
Touching his cold and deep gaze, Acuo curled his lips aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice, "You haven't slept for so long, I'm almost hungry after waiting... What's wrong with sleeping..."
Yuan Xun heard her soft and silenced thoughts and raised her chin with one hand, "Are you blaming me?"
His fingers were very cold, not like a living person.
Acuo's heart trembled and he stuttered, "No, no..."
Seeing her little face turned pale, Yuan Xun snorted and let go of her chin, then put up the window and looked out. It was already dark outside.
"How long have I slept?"
He asked.
"For more than an hour..." Acuo replied in a low voice, feeling a little angry. She was really going to starve to death, and the delicious dishes must have been cold!
As if feeling her little resentment, Yuan Xun coughed lightly, "Go to have a meal."
He stayed neatly, and when he turned around, he still didn't move, he frowned slightly.
Is this a tantrum?
Just as Yuan Xun's eyes were gradually getting deeper, Acuo suddenly raised his hand and patted his cheek, and his eyes, which were a little confused and ignorant, also lit up.
She put on her shoes and ran out of the bedroom, her tone was light, "It's time to eat!"
Yuan Xun looked at her series of reactions and was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. It turned out that she was awakening just now, not making a tantrum.
——
The next afternoon.
The red walls are deep, and on the long palace road, the little palace maids whisper.
"Your Majesty had dinner at Jinxiuxuan yesterday, and he didn't leave until he was a regular time."
"Really?
Then this beautiful lady Shen is really capable! Didn’t the previous emperor tell her to serve the meal?”
"But I heard that this beautiful lady Shen burned her head when she was a child, and she was always stupid when she grew up. Where did she get the ability to make His Majesty think about it so much?"
"I don't know this either. I only heard that she is so beautiful. Maybe His Majesty likes her appearance?
Let’s find a chance to see it tomorrow.”
These few words fell into the ears of the concubines who were going out to relax, and they felt very uncomfortable.
"Min Cairen, Wu Changzai, you didn't play well with that beautiful man Shen, do you know how she pleased His Majesty?"
Hu Guipin asked softly, she was sent to the palace when the new dynasty was just right. Although she had never seen His Majesty a few times, she was granted a third-rank noble concubine with her family connections and years of experience in the palace. She was considered a good person in the harem.
"We talked to her yesterday, so she gave His Majesty some things..." Min Cairen was a little scared when he mentioned this. Fortunately, he was not very good at cooking and had been fiddling in the kitchen for a long time but didn't make any decent things. Otherwise, if he really sent it over, he would not have ended up with Bai's family.
Bai, alas, they were still in the group during the draft.
Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Bai was sent to the cold palace and lost his wealth and glory.
"Madam Shen is lucky and just happened to catch His Majesty's eyes."
Guipin Hu glanced at Min Cairen with a sad face, then looked at Wu Changzai, who looked even pale, and sighed in his heart. It seemed that these two were useless.
At this time, Acuo was praised for his luck and was listening to Mu Lan's storytelling in the house.
Before entering the palace, Mrs. Shen prepared some scripts for Acuo. In addition to asking her to pass the time in the palace, she also wanted her to stay in the house and not run out.
Acuo was illiterate, so Mu Qing and Mu Lan took turns to read it to her on weekdays. Sometimes they would cooperate with each other to act.
At this moment, Mu Lan was telling a story about a scholar and a beautiful snake, and Acuo listened with relish.
She had seen snake spirits when she was in the back mountain, but the snake spirit was not beautiful and was very timid. She couldn't hide when she saw people. How could she take the initiative to hook up with scholars like in the script?
A morning passed without realizing it. When Shangshi Bureau came to deliver the meal, Mu Qing was shocked at the food box, "Little father-in-law, are you sending the wrong delivery?"
The food box contains five dishes, one soup, and the same pastry and fruit. The regulation is correct, but the fineness of the dish and the style of the dish have been improved by several standards compared to the previous few days.
“Is this the place where beautiful lady Shen from Jinxiuxuan?
If so, that would be correct.”
The eunuch of Shangshi Bureau laughed.
"But this..." Mu Qing had to confirm again. Aunt An Xiu came over. She glanced at the dishes in the food box, and then looked at the eunuch of Shangshi Bureau with a smile. She took the food box naturally and thanked him with a smile. "This dish looks good. If our little master is happy, he will naturally not forget your benefits."
The eunuch glanced into the house and said with a smile, "Auntie, where is this? If you serve the little master well, it is our duty as slaves."
If the little master has anything to eat, just send someone to Shangshi Bureau and say it, let’s send it to the little master immediately.”
Aunt An Xiu smiled and gave Mu Qing another wink. Mu Qing also came back to the house and hurriedly went back to the house and gave it to the eunuch.
After the eunuch from Shangshi Bureau left, Mu Qing was placing food while listening to Aunt An Xiu's teachings, "The palace has always been a place where people are low and high. Now that our little master has received some appreciation from His Majesty, they naturally dare not treat him lightly.
If the little master has higher and greater luck in the future, we who work with the little master can also benefit from it. At that time, the people who are rushing to flatter you will not be able to count the two slaps.
You and Mu Lan have just entered the palace. You should pay more attention to these twists and turns in the palace on weekdays, don’t be confused!"
The implication is that the little master is a confused person. If we slaves are less clever and more cautious, we will get into trouble sooner or later.
Although Mu Qing was young, she was smart and smart. As soon as Aunt An Xiu said this, she understood and responded quickly, "Yes, I will remember my aunt's teachings."
"Well, go and call the master out for dinner."
Aunt An Xiu said.
Mu Qing went there quickly.
Acuo was also hungry. When he heard that the meal was coming, he came out wearing his shoes.
When she saw a table of delicious food, she was also a little surprised, "What is a good day today?"
Aunt An Xiu smiled and handed her teeth, "This is all for His Majesty's blessing."
It turns out that there are so many benefits to please Your Majesty?
Asu thought to himself, he picked up a chopstick of crab paste lion's head, and the delicious juice immediately filled the tip of his tongue, making him so happy that he was so bubbling.
"Aunt, these are delicious."
As he ate, Acuo thought of something and looked up and asked, "Will your Majesty come to us for dinner every day?"
Aunt An Xiu was stunned for a moment, but did not deny it immediately, but asked, "Young Master wants Your Majesty to come every day?"
Acuo's eyes rolled, "Although His Majesty is a little fierce and doesn't like to talk, the food is delicious when he is here..."
