Chapter 981 I'll Come When I'm Finished

While chewing the fruit, Fourth Master stood up and stretched his arms, and said lightly, "Placement."

So, Ruoyin hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare water.

There is always a good tacit understanding and sense of proportion between her and him.

Sometimes she would be petty in front of him.

Just forgive him for not being able to do anything.

But if something serious happened, she would be honest.

The fourth master is also like this, knowing when to get used to it and when not to get used to it.

When the two of them lay down and rested, Ruoyin said seriously, "The Queen Mother said, let the concubine supervise you, don't just stay up late to review the memorials, lest you hurt your body."

"My body is fine."

"Anyway, you'd better not spend all night reviewing memorials in the future, otherwise the Queen Mother will say that the concubines are not trying to persuade the emperor."

Fourth Master: "..."

"In short, if your first son after ascending the throne is not born for a day, it is the fault of the concubine."

"Nonsense, how can you be blamed for this matter." Fourth Master said fiercely, but he naturally put his hand under the woman's neck and patted her shoulder...... .

In the early morning of the next day, Ruoyin helped fourth master change his clothes and wash up as usual before going to court.

After the bright yellow figure disappeared, she looked up at the pale sky.

Now that I'm a queen, it's a bit difficult to get a good night's sleep.

As long as she thinks that the concubines in the harem will come to pay her respects later, she won't be able to sleep in anymore.

I had no choice but to go back to the inner room and order my servants to dress up.

Qiaofeng and Qiaolan stood beside her and combed her hair.

Nanny Liu held a booklet and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow will be the Lantern Festival, so how do you manage it? Do you have any instructions?"

Ruoyin, who had squinted his eyes, opened them slightly, and Liu Mei raised his eyebrows.

However, the large-scale sacrifices in the palace have always been organized by the queen, which is her duty.

"Tell them, just follow the previous year's arrangements."

She hadn't done it before, so she didn't think about doing any new tricks.

On the contrary, it is according to the previous one, that's right.

"Okay." After Mama Liu responded, she said again: "By the way, the Empress Dowager sent someone to pass the news that she invited someone from outside the palace to perform the sacrificial dance this year, so I can tell you about it."

Hearing this, Ruoyin squinted her eyes, a little surprised.

I want to say that the Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, since the last time she was detained for a while, she seems a bit broken.

There is nothing else to do except to preach a few words when the concubines of the harem pay their respects.

This time, he took the initiative to arrange the show?

This reminded her of Zhuang Guiren's frequent visits to the Queen Mother to pay her respects. Could it be related to this matter?

However, from what the Queen Mother meant, it seemed that it was just a greeting to her.

Didn't I hear that it was talking to her, not asking her to approve it?

"Got it." Ruoyin said lightly.

It was night, and when Ruoyin was about to take a rest, another report was sung outside: "The emperor is here!"

No, didn't he come here yesterday?

Surprised, Ruoyin was still in her nightgown, and hurried out to greet her.

It is a joy of life to be tempered occasionally.

If you don't follow the rules every day, even the person you like will get tired of it.

When he arrived in the yard, he saw fourth master standing there with his hands behind his back.

The man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and was looking at her.

Ruoyin lowered her eyes and saluted gracefully: "The concubine welcomes the emperor."

Fourth Master gave a faint "um", and raised his hand to help her, "Get up."

Just then, a gust of cold wind blows over.

It's late autumn now, and it's very cold.

The late autumn in the capital is even more bitterly cold.

The whistling north wind blew straight into the person's body.

Fourth Master frowned slightly, and when he lowered his head, he saw the woman was only wearing a thin nightgown.

And the makeup on her face has long been removed.

On the contrary, it looks like an extremely elegant beauty.

It gives people a feeling of fragility, so that men can't help hugging and caring.

The next moment, fourth master did so.

He hugged the woman in his arms, but he said coldly: "When it's time to come out, you may not come to greet me. You are wearing such thin clothes, but you come out to blow the cold wind."

Fourth master's body is very strong and warm, giving people a sense of security.

It seems that there is such a man by my side, even if the sky falls, he will support me.

Ruoyin leaned in his arms and said aggrievedly: "Yesterday, my concubine was beaten up because she didn't come out to meet the emperor. Today, my concubine dare not annoy the emperor anymore."

"..." Fourth master.

After entering the house, fourth master went into the inner room without sitting down just like yesterday.

Inside the room, the servants all retreated conspicuously.

Especially Su Peisheng, who still smiled like a eunuch when he went out.

Since ascending the throne, the emperor rarely went to the harem.

Even if you go, it will be wet with rain and dew.

Not even one who stayed in the harem.

Now that he came here to the queen, it seems that he intends to let the queen conceive her first son after ascension to the throne.

The next morning, fourth master knew it was cold outside.

So he sympathized with Ruoyin once and didn't let her get up early.

Before leaving, he raised his foot to the side of the bed and pulled down the brocade quilt slightly.

Half of the little head hidden under the quilt was exposed.

Fourth master slightly possessed himself, and kissed the woman's smooth forehead lightly.

With such a kiss, Ruoyin slightly opened his eyes.

Seeing that she woke up, Fourth Master had a gentle smile on his lips, "I'll come tonight when I'm done working. If you're sleepy then, go to sleep first."

A deep and magnetic voice, with a little nostalgia.

"..." Ruoyin pretended not to be awake and turned over, leaving him with a back view.

Seeing this, fourth master didn't care.

It doesn't matter whether she really didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, what should come will always come......

After Fourth Master stayed in Yongshou Palace for three nights, it was the next Yuan Festival.

The origin of the Xiayuan Festival is related to Taoism.

Taoism believes in the three officials of heaven, earth, and water, forming the Sanyuan Festival.

That is, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Shangyuan Festival, commemorating the birthday of the gods.

July 15th is the Ghost Festival, commemorating the birthday of the earth god.

October 15th is the Xiayuan Festival, commemorating the birthday of the water god.

The three officials and emperors each performed their duties.

In general, heavenly officials bless.

The magistrate pardoned the crime.

The water officer solves the problem.

Water officials focus on managing water affairs. The Qing Dynasty has been an agricultural state since ancient times, and the relationship between water and agricultural production is particularly important.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty has always paid attention to the custom of worshiping the water god.

For them, Shuiguan Jieer means more than blessing and forgiveness of sins.

Because committing Tai Sui, unfavorable fleeting years, and even Mercury retrograde are all entangled with bad luck.

In this way, every time it comes to the Xiayuan Festival, the common people prepare food, food, wine and banquets, and go to the Sanguan Temple to worship the water god and the water official emperor.

And, by the way, worship the ancestors.

After all, relief from misfortune is the most basic need of those who believe in gods.

This morning, before dawn, fourth master had already returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Ruoyin sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, letting her servant comb her hair.

She looked tired and listless.

At the beginning, she was holding a very casual attitude.

I want to say that it doesn't matter if fourth master listens or not, she does a good job as a queen.

Anyway, what should be persuaded, what should be done should be done.

Who knows how a man who has always been arrogant is so easy to talk and so obedient.

If she had known this was the result, she would not have believed what the queen mother said at the beginning, and went to the fourth master to speak out.

Alas, but what I remonstrated, I have to bear the consequences even if I kneel down.

Sometimes she really wondered if the Queen Mother did it on purpose.

After all, her old man knew fourth master very well.

After the servant combed her hair, Ruoyin cheered up and put on makeup in front of the mirror.

About half an hour later, Ruoyin dressed up and went to Kunning Palace in a phoenix chariot.

There, it is now a place dedicated to offering sacrifices in the palace.
