【54】(1/2)
When Yuan Xun hurried to the Lihua Palace, Acuo was sitting obediently on the couch, putting his right hand on the table, and Xiaohe applied scald ointment to her.
At this time, she had washed her little black face and changed into clean clothes.
Seeing Yuan Xun's face dark, Acuo called out a little guiltily, "Your Majesty."
Yuan Xun wanted to rebuke a few words, but when she saw a large piece of her delicate and fair back burning red, she couldn't say the lessons.
"I'm here."
He took the ointment from Xiaohe's hand with a deep expression.
Xiaohe quickly gave way and retreated aside.
Yuan Xun sat opposite Acuo, lowered his head and painted her.
From this perspective, his brows frowned into the character Sichuan.
Although his hands still hurt a little, Acuo didn't dare to snort, and he quietly applied the ointment.
"Does it hurt?"
Yuan Xun looked at her regularly.
"Acuo is confused. Should he say it hurt or not?
After hesitating for a moment, she said, "It hurts as much."
Yuan Xun was really about to be angry with her and snorted coldly, "I deserve it if I love you!"
Although he said this, he couldn't help but look at her up and down, and said with a stiff tone, "Are you hurt elsewhere?"
Acuo shook his head, "No."
After Yuan Xun felt relieved, he couldn't help but teach his lesson, "If you want to eat, tell the slaves to do whatever you want. How can you do these things yourself?
Now that I haven't made the stuff, I've hurt myself."
God knows how complicated he felt when he heard Chang Xilai’s report that the kitchenette of the Liudai Palace was blown up.
He has lived for so many years and has heard for the first time that cooking can blow up the kitchen!
Seeing him so angry, Acuo lowered his head with shame, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, "I was wrong."
Yuan Xun glanced at her and snorted, "It's positive to admit his mistake."
Acuo pursed his lips and refused to speak, but he felt a little aggrieved.
Yes, she made a mess of the kitchen, but she also paid the price and got hurt.
But why is he so fierce?
It was not him who was injured, and it was not him who was hurt. She was already unlucky enough, and he was still cruel to her!
Thinking of this, Acuo turned his body and left only a back for Yuan Xun.
Yuan Xun frowned slightly, was she still angry?
Aunt An Xiu, who was standing beside him, looked at the wrong atmosphere between the two and bit the bullet and interrupted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. The master did not intend to do this today.
She followed Lao Nu’s advice and wanted to make some snacks for His Majesty with her own hands, so she got into the kitchen in person.”
Yuan Xun was stunned and looked at Aunt An Xiu. Aunt An Xiu nodded to him, showing sincerely that what he said was true.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Xun waved at them.
The palace people in the hall had great vision and immediately retreated.
Yuan Xun slowly walked to Acuo, reached out to stop in the air, and placed it gently on her shoulder.
Acuo hung his head lowered in a cowardly manner.
Yuan Xun sat down beside her, turned her shoulders over, put her forehead against her forehead, and whispered, "Did you go to the kitchen if you want to cook food for me?"
Acuo bit his lip, widened his eyes, and said, "No! It's me who is greedy, it's me who is stupid, greedy and stupid!"
This is just making people stingy.
Yuan Xun's fingers were inserted into her hair, and her high nose bridge rubbed against her nose bridge. Such intimate movements eased the atmosphere a little.
He whispered, "I didn't mean to rape you. I was just concerned about you and was confused. I won't get angry with me anymore."
Acuo was not a mess, and she knew that she had messed up the matter, so she didn't get twisted.
Her little hand gently stroked his eyebrows and said softly, "Your Majesty, you should not be so fierce when you care about people. Also, don't always frown in the future, look scary."
Yuan Xun's eyes moved slightly and he said in a deep voice, "I try my best."
Acuo said, "You spared me from paying me a favor and told me not to take care of the palace affairs. I just wanted to do something to repay you... But my embroidery is not good-looking, so I thought about making some food... But I didn't expect it to be difficult to cook.
I didn’t mean to make the kitchen like that, why would I pay you money?”
Yuan Xun smiled, "Loss money?"
Acuo, "Yeah, I have monthly money, but I can't even spend it. It's stored in the warehouse, and I'll compensate you all."
Looking at her clear eyes, Yuan Xun couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her face, and said in a gentle voice, "You can keep your money yourself.
As for cooking, you don’t need to learn it. I’m very happy if you have this intention.”
Acuoba looked at him, "Then I can't do anything. Do you think I'm useless and can't compare to other concubines?"
"Why do you want to compete with them?"
Yuan Xun stared at her deeply, "You are you, just be yourself."
Acuo opened his eyes wide, "Really?"
Yuan Xun nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Acuo suddenly felt that the stone pressing on his heart had disappeared.
Since she was appointed as a concubine, all kinds of things have been reminded all the time that you want to make progress, you have to learn this and that like other concubines. You don’t even know how to be a concubine, why should you be with Your Majesty?
Are you worthy?
Now His Majesty said in person that she only needs to be herself and not like everyone else.
What Your Majesty said is right!
Acuo hugged his neck relaxedly and said softly, "Actually, I don't know anything."
Yuan Xun enjoyed her intimacy and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "Hmm?"
Acuo leaned into his ear and said confidently, "I can give birth to many little babies for His Majesty."
Yuan Xun was stunned for a moment, and met her tender face, and her throat moved slightly, "Is that right?"
Acuo nodded proudly, "Yes!"
Yuan Xun held her slender waist with a hand, and his arm strength was amazing and he picked her up. "Since you said that, I will work harder and give you a chance to prove yourself."
Soon, the bed curtains started to make a fuss again.
Aunt An Xiu outside the hall was worried that her master would violate the axe, so she would compete with His Majesty.
But after hearing the movements floating out of the hall, they were all stunned and looked at the sky... Tsk, it was not dark.
Aunt An Xiu coughed lightly and waved her hand, "It's all gone, go and do what you have on hand."
The palace people all smiled ambiguously and dispersed.
Mr. Chang Xi sat in the servant's room and drank tea, and said with a smile, "You have to make good use of Concubine Chen during this period and take care of her body. Maybe there will be good news soon."
Aunt An Xiu said, "I know this naturally."
Snow fell outside again. My father-in-law Chang Xi raised his head, looked at the falling snowflakes, and sighed, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope that our palace will add some good news in the coming year."
Aunt An Xiu also looked over and echoed, "Yes."
After the Chinese New Year, His Majesty ascended the throne for six years, but there was no news at all.
If your master can give birth to his first child, whether it is a prince or a princess, it will be a great achievement. Not to mention the position of a second-rank concubine, even the position of a queen.
——
The snow fell one after another, and the New Year was soon ushered in, and the palace was filled with joy.
Before the annual holiday, Yuan Xun left Sikong Shu alone and played a game of chess.
"You go to Longyou after the New Year and be careful of everything."
Yuan Xun said with a serious face.
"Don't worry, with Yuchi Hu, who is accompanying his ministers, at least the safety is guaranteed."
Sikong Shu pretended to be relaxed and asked again, "Since Your Majesty has noticed that there is a turmoil in Longyou, why not send troops as soon as possible to get rid of them?"
"There's just a sign that the person behind the scenes hasn't appeared yet, so it's too early to take action now.
Wait a little longer, and wait until the mob gathers up and catch them all in one go."
Yuan Xun said, "I don't want to make trouble with one hammer and another, it's so tiring."
Sikong Shu thought about this, so he didn't say more.
