Chapter 45 Harem Ci-7
Chapter 45 Harem Ci-7
One day, she was sitting by the stove, resting her chin on one hand, drawing a beaded hairpin in a bored manner. While drawing, she thought of the poem she had entered, so she wrote down the poem in the blank space, facing the poem daze.
One day passed in such a muddle.
At night, I lie on the couch and recall some of the poems I have read in that collection of poems, trying to find the rules and predict the space of poems that I may enter next time, or when I can return to the real world.Disappointed, God apparently picked them at random.
There was a sound of the door opening outside, and she turned over to face inside.She was not used to someone guarding her bed when she was sleeping, which made her sleep unsteadily, but there was no way, these palace maids had to be on duty at night, to put it bluntly, to monitor her, so they could only let them.
The sound of footsteps was wrong, not like the familiar maidservants.She turned over vigilantly, and a tall figure stood outside the light gauze curtain, with her back against the dim light in the distance, she couldn't see her face clearly.
"Ah—" She got up and shrank back to the side of the couch, angrily scolded, "Who are you?"
The figure opened the curtain, she smelled the faint fragrance of Ganan, and then looked closely at the figure of the black figure in front of her, it was undoubtedly the dog emperor.
He actually came to this remote courtyard in the middle of the night, and quietly entered her room, what did he want to do?Suddenly, the image of Zheng Yu and the dog emperor rubbing each other's ears and lingering intertwined images suddenly appeared in his mind.
Her cheeks were hot and she immediately shook off the memory.
"Goofy! Get away!" She raised her foot and kicked under Heiying's body, her ankle was easily grabbed by the opponent, and her other foot followed closely, and was also grabbed by the opponent.
With a playful sound, the black shadow quickly pounced on the couch, pressing half of her body under him.
"Ah—there is a thief, come, catch the thief, come quickly." She shouted through her throat, but no one came, and there was no movement outside the door, as if there was no one in the courtyard.
"Yu'er, don't you know me?" The voice was deep and gentle, with numb muscles and crisp bones.
Tang Xiaoshi shuddered a few times, this man is poisonous.Two months ago, he was staring and roaring at her like a wild beast, with a horizontal knife on her neck, trying to cut her off, but now he actually went up to her couch to tease her.
How can you do what you want?
"You pretended to be His Majesty and wanted to misbehave with my lady, damn servant, get out!" He couldn't move his legs and feet, and stretched out his hand to slap the other party.
Crack—a crisp sound is especially loud in the quiet night.
The other party obviously didn't expect her to strike so fiercely, she was stunned by the beating, and her body froze.
Tang Xiaoshi was sober, and greeted her with another slap, the crisp sound of the slap was particularly pleasant to her ears.
She was about to continue when she raised her hand in the air and was grabbed by the other party and pressed on the couch, she raised her other hand and was also imprisoned.
"Damn it, let go of my wife, or I'll take your skin off."
"How dare you scold me, how bold you are."
"You dare to pretend to be His Majesty, you are so brave! Come on, come on!" She shouted loudly, but still no one responded.Apparently, the people in the small courtyard were ordered by the dog emperor and dared not come in.
"You see clearly, who am I?"
"I can't see it!" There was only a dark face in front of him, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
"Can't see or hear?" The voice reprimanded severely.
"I forgot what your majesty said. Anyway, you are a damned bastard pretending to be your majesty. You must get off the bed immediately, otherwise..." She wanted to get up, but found that her limbs were all tightly pressed by the other party, unable to move.
"Otherwise what?" The other party said quite proudly, "What else can you do to me?"
Tang Xiaoshi struggled a few times, unable to break free, resigned to her fate and gave up struggling, her limbs softened, staring at the silhouette in the darkness in front of her.
Noticing that the person under him was motionless, he sighed in disappointment, the emperor couldn't help laughing, leaned close to the other's ear, and whispered softly: "Didn't Yu'er ask me to come?"
"Who asked you to come?" She was insane, so what did she ask him to do?Could it be that he still wants to compete with so many concubines in the harem?
"Although you didn't say it, your poems tell me what you think. Tears wet the scarf and dreams are impossible, and the front hall sings in the middle of the night. The beauty is broken before she is old, and she leans on the smoked cage and sits until dawn[1]. Yu Shi, thinking of me, blamed me for neglecting you because of Jiang Jieyu, blamed me for not coming to favor you for so long."
Suddenly, she didn't expect that a poem she wrote silently was sent to him by the servants of the palace. It seemed that the dog emperor knew every move and every word she said in the small courtyard.
"The beauty you think, this poem was not written by me, let alone for you."
The emperor was slightly stunned, and his voice was a little cold: "Who wrote this poem?"
Hearing the displeasure of the other party, she was a little delighted, and deliberately said with an adoring tone: "He is a young, handsome, talented and talented Mr. Bai Lang."
The other party was stunned and did not make any movements, but she could clearly feel the other party's breath was heavy, his chest was heaving, and he was sullen.
"How do you know this person?" The tone was not kind.
"I've known him since I was a child, not only me, but everyone who can read. This man is a great poet and has written many famous poems."
Sensing the growing anger of the person in front of her, she continued proudly: "It's like wishing to be a lovebird in the sky, and Lian Lizhi in the ground [2]; He wrote it. Especially the song "Li Li Yuan Shang Cao [3], which can be recited by three or five-year-old children, but Your Majesty has never heard of it?" She pretended to be surprised and asked back.
The emperor snorted coldly, let her go and sat down on the side of the couch, and asked in a cold voice: "You can recite a lot of his poems."
"Since I have been in contact with it since I was a child, I naturally know a lot. If Your Majesty is interested, how many more can I recite to Your Majesty?"
"Hmph!" The emperor shook his sleeves and stood up, rushing out angrily.
Tang Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly smiled.As soon as the emperor stepped out of the inner room, he suddenly turned back and stood under a candle lamp at the entrance. The dim candle lamp illuminated his cold face, like a midnight ghost.
"What is this person's name?" He suppressed his anger and asked.
"Oh! My name is Bai Juyi, and my name is Letian." She replied with a smile.
The emperor snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
She hurriedly climbed down from the couch, ran to the outside room, and lay down by the door to look.Under the cold moonlight, the emperor was full of anger and led the people out of the small courtyard.
"Go and find him. If you find him, you won't even find him." She immediately felt relaxed, stretched her waist, yawned and was about to go back to the bed to rest. Fenfen and the two maidservants came over immediately.She waved her hand and yawned, "I'm sleepy." She went straight to the couch and fell asleep.
The emperor didn't come back for half a month, so she stayed in the small courtyard, reading books and playing the piano, and went crazy by the way.
It was snowing in the evening, and she was sitting by the fireplace facing the door enjoying the snow. The cold wind poured into the living room, making her shiver all over.Fenfen came forward to persuade her not to enjoy the snow, but she didn't listen.There is nothing to do in the small courtyard. If you can't enjoy the snow, you will be crazy.
Not only did she not listen to Fenfen's persuasion, but instead she went outside in a fur coat and stood by the fish pond watching a few koi swimming, seemingly listless.
A few days ago, half of the koi carps died one after another. The palace maid said that it might have been frozen to death. She would rather believe that these koi carp died of depression after being trapped in a small fish pond.
After staying outside for a while, I felt a little cold and went back to the room.
After dinner, I felt a little uncomfortable, my head hurt a little, and I found that I had a fever.The whole small courtyard was not safe, the imperial physician came to treat him, and drank a bowl of soup to dispel the cold and warm up his body, and he felt a little better, but his mind was dizzy and sleepy, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Half asleep and half awake, she felt someone touch her, she opened her eyes slightly wearily, as if there was a figure beside the couch.It was supposed to be the servant girl who was on guard at night, so she didn't think much about closing her eyes and going back to sleep.
The next day I didn't wake up until it was three poles in the sun, and the room was quiet.She turned over and was about to get up, when she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of Ganan.
It was more than half a month ago that the dog emperor came last time, and the long-lasting fragrance has dissipated, not to mention that the bedding has long been replaced by the maid.
Apart from her, there are servants and maidservants in the small courtyard, and their identities do not need Gananxiang at all.
She sniffed around and found a faint fragrance left on the bedding.
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he sat up abruptly.
"Fenfen! Fenfen!" Shouting and rushing to the bed.The fever hadn't completely subsided, and his head was still dizzy. Because he got up too violently, his eyes were dark, and he fell back on the bed.
Fenfen heard the urgent call, and rushed over immediately. Seeing her pressing her head with pain on her face, she immediately took the coat from the hanger and put it on her. "My lady is still sick, hurry back and lie down on the couch."
Immediately after the two maidservants came in, they also looked panic-stricken, thinking that something had happened.
She waved her hands and asked, "Did someone come over last night?"
Fenfen and the palace maid looked at each other, and asked with a smile: "Did the lady fall ill last night and couldn't sleep well?"
She paused and nodded: "It should be."
When the dog emperor came over, everyone in the small courtyard, including Fenfen, must have known that since the other party didn't speak up, it was the emperor's order not to speak up, so it was pointless to force questions.
After ordering the palace maid to take care of the wash and breakfast, she stayed in the living room all day long without stepping out, either eating or drinking or moving her hands and feet. She drank every drop of the most hated bitter medicine to ensure her early recovery.Only with a good body can she catch dogs.
From this day on, she didn't go to bed until midnight every day, and the dog emperor never came again after New Year's Eve.She couldn't help being curious to ask the doorkeeper about the emperor.
The servant replied: "Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, and has been in the imperial study all the time."
According to Zheng Yu's memory calculations, this emperor is not considered a wise emperor, and he is obsessed with beauty. It is really rare to be so diligent in government affairs during the Chinese New Year.
Since the emperor is busy with government affairs, he definitely won't come over in the near future, and she doesn't have to stay up late to catch the dog.
Going to bed early, in the middle of the night in a dream, she felt that someone had touched her, she turned over in a daze, opened her eyes slightly, and there was a black shadow in front of her in the darkness, her heart tightened suddenly, her eyes widened in a conditional reflex, and in front of her was a head.
"Ah—" She slapped her across the face, and kicked her feet hard under the quilt.
The other party was caught off guard and kicked down on the bed with all her strength, fell down with a muffled groan, and slowly got up from the ground.
"It's me!"
"I don't believe it!" As long as you don't believe it, you can do whatever you want. As the saying goes, those who don't know don't blame.
"You can't hear my voice every time?"
"Your Majesty will not be shameless and sneak into the room of a beauty who has fallen out of favor late at night. Don't pretend to be, but do you know that pretending to be His Majesty will be punished by the nine clans? How dare you!"
The black shadow in front of the couch was panting, and his knuckles were clenched.
"Can't you hear it? I'll let you feel it." After speaking, he threw himself on the couch, pressed her directly under him, and blocked her lips.
