Chapter 35 First Encounter in Meiyuan
"Empress, empress, it will be the January period set by the empress dowager tomorrow, and the emperor will not have to stay in the Wanhe Palace of the Empress. Madam, do you think our Ganquan Palace should be ready to welcome the emperor's return?" Early in the morning, Hu Yimeng just got up, and Xing Yan said to her excitedly.
"Tomorrow will be the full term of one month." Hu Yimeng dressed under Xingyan's service, sat down in front of the dressing mirror, and began to dress up in front of the dim bronze mirror. It's time to prepare well.
Hu Yi dreamed and told Yuefu, "Yufu, you go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare some light but warm ingredients suitable for winter. Tomorrow's dinner must be exquisite and refreshing. These emperors eat and stay in Wanhe Palace every day, and I don't know whether the food of Wanhe Palace is the emperor's mouth."
After ordering Yuefu to go to Zhang Luo's dinner tomorrow, Hu Yimeng said to the pheasant, "Pheasant, today you take the maids of Ganquan Palace to clean the inside and outside of Ganquan Palace. The bedding must be smoked with the emperor's favorite dragon saliva, and prepare the rose essential oil for tribute from the Western Regions in the bath room."
"Yes, the maidservant remembered it." Yuefu and pheasant answered.
Hu Yimeng dressed up properly. At the thought that Beichen Yeli would come back tomorrow, there was a burst of dark joy in her heart.
Even if she is a new era woman from modern times, she still can't restrain her husband's return, and she can monopolize his love and excitement.
For a whole month, he was forced to stay in Wanhe Palace of Concubine Shu every day, which made her grit her teeth with anger, but she also knew that there was no relationship between him and Concubine Shu. It should be... It should be... From the degree of hard work he invited her to serve in the imperial study every time, she understood that all he wanted was her.
Thinking of this, Hu Yimeng covered her red-haired hot cheeks, shook her head, and forced herself to stop thinking nonsense.
After breakfast, there is still some free time before today's imperial study to "serve" Beichen Yeli. Hu Yimeng put on the mink's cloak and ordered the other eunuchs in Ganquan Palace to prepare for the return to the palace tomorrow's Beichen night. She only took Xingyan alone and walked out of Ganquan Palace leisurely.
It is not too close from Ganquan Palace to the imperial study, separated by a beautiful garden.
The garden is exquisitely laid out, with lakes and mountains, and the four-hour scene is different.
The imperial capital is located on Jinghu Lake, which is moistened and affected by the water vapor in the lake. The winter time is very short, and spring starts very early every year.
In the past few days, the weather is not as cold as when it snowed all over last month, and the plum blossoms in the garden bloomed quietly overnight.
The bright red plum blossoms set off the thin unmelted white snow on the ground, which looks more and more beautiful, adding a strong ink color to this dull winter painting.
Hu Yimeng walked all the way to the small garden. At first glance, he saw the red plum blossoms of the tree in the garden, and he was suddenly happy.
This is a rare bright color in winter. Hu Yi dreamed of it.
Involutably, she slowed down and stopped under the tree to watch carefully.
At this time, a sound of footsteps gradually came from a distance.
Hu Yimeng turned his face slightly and saw a handsome man in white, who was as noble and as light as snow, coming this way slowly. There was a faint smile on the face of the prince in white, as if there was nothing in the world that could worry him and make him sad. Isn't this man the fairy who strayed into the mortal world?
Hu Yimeng blinked and thought incredulously.
It was the first time she saw such a handsome man in the backyard of this palace. It's just that he doesn't know who this person is and can enter and exit the palace.
"Mother, do you want to avoid it?" Xingyan reminded in a low voice. Somehow, her super sixth sense made her feel that such a fairy-like man suddenly appeared in the inner court, and there were always some unusual places.
As he spoke, the man had already seen Hu Yimeng and Xing Yan's master and servant.
The man showed a happy smile on his face and strode towards the two of them.
The man walked to Hu Yimeng, arched his hand at her and Xingyan, and said, "Two girls, do you know how to get to Ganquan Palace? He was summoned by the emperor of Xiameng, but the little father-in-law who led the way said that it was urgent for convenience, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared. He got lost his way here. I don't know if the two girls can give me some advice.
"Son, if the emperor summons you at this moment, he will certainly not be in the Ganquan Palace. The emperor is diligent in government affairs. Every day, he must deal with government affairs in the imperial study. It is impossible to call you to Ganquan Palace." Hu Yimeng felt that what the prince said in front of him was extremely suspicious, and he couldn't help but prepare for the people in front of him.
"This..." The man was also a little hesitant at the moment. Suddenly, after seeing Hu Yimeng's face, the man suddenly exclaimed, "Is that you?"
"Does the prince recognize my mother?" Xingyan took a step forward without a trace, slightly blocked Hu Yimeng sideways, and asked the man.
"Your mother?"
"Yes, prince, my mother is the emperor's newly sealed Huifei." Xingyan said.
"Hahaha! The emperor really found his dream lover! It's wonderful!" The man laughed.
"I don't know who you are?" Hu Yimeng asked doubtfully.
"Weichen Shangguan Moxuan." The man bowed to Hu Yimeng and said, "S greetings to Empress Huifei."
"It turned out to be the prince of the right superior's family, the newly appointed official servant of the emperor, Lord Shangguan Moxuan." Hu Yimeng heard that Shangguan Moxuan said his name, and immediately recalled the appointment edict he had seen when he served Beichen Yeli in the imperial study a few days ago.
"Wow! Shangguan Moxuan, a talented man famous in the State of Yu?!" Xingyan looked at the handsome man Shangguan Moxuan in front of her in surprise.
"I can only read a few words and read a few books. The girl praised it." Shangguan Moxuan said modestly with a humble smile on his face.
"The prince is a talented person. He can write poems at the age of five, and can break the absolute of a hundred years at the age of seven. At the age of 12, he was a middle scholar. At the age of 16, he went to Yaoguang City with the emperor. Before entering the palace, Xingyan often heard your story in a restaurant and teahouse." Xingyan remembered the story she had heard before about the beautiful boy in front of her.
Seeing that Xingyan seemed to have a good impression on the young prince named Shangguan Moxuan in front of her, Hu Yimeng's eyes turned and showed an ambiguous smile. This Shangguan Moxuan's family background, in terms of talent and appearance are all dragons and phoenixes among people, which are rare in the world. If you can make him and Xingyan into a pair... Oh hehehe~~~ It makes people's blood boil when they think about it!
Thinking of this, Hu Yimeng only felt that the more he looked at Guan Moxuan, the more pleasing he felt, and there was a feeling that his mother-in-law looked at his son-in-law.
