第179章 茉莉
“娘娘,陛下来了。”清漪快步进殿,面上全是喜色。

纯昭仪也有些惊喜,忙放下筷子漱了口,命人将饭菜撤下去,又重新抹了口脂才出去迎驾。

“陛下万安。”纯昭仪福身下拜。

“平身。”萧靖凡面色和缓,“朕忽然想吃你宫里做的萝卜糕。”

一旁的清漪笑道:“陛下和主子真是心有灵犀,主子才叫小厨房做了萝卜糕当宵夜呢。”

“那朕来得还算巧。”萧靖凡伸手想去拉纯昭仪,忽然扫见她的耳坠,眉心便是一皱,“茉莉?”

纯昭仪不解,仰头问:“什么茉莉?”

“你的耳坠。”萧靖凡盯着那小巧精致的耳坠,“看着像茉莉花苞。”

纯昭仪抬手摸了摸,“陛下慧眼,可是有何处不妥?”

萧靖凡摇头。

“陛下,夜间风大,还是进去说话吧。”纯昭仪笑着要去挽他,却不料萧靖凡将手往后一背,避开了。

纯昭仪看了眼自己落空的手,疑惑道:“怎么了?”

“无事。”萧靖凡道,“朕忽然想起来还有政务未处理,就不进去了,你好生休息。”

纯昭仪:???

她错愕地看着玄色的身影越走越远。

清漪小心翼翼地上前扶她:“主子,仪驾已经走了,进去吧。”

“嗯。”纯昭仪点头。

至殿中的软榻上坐下,纯昭仪接过香茶抿了一口,看向清漪:“可打听到秋水斋的消息?”

清漪点头:“说是陛下用膳到一半便离开了,未见发怒,出了福宁宫就往茂华宫来了。”

纯昭仪拧眉:“可是祝美人惹了陛下不喜?”

“没打听出来。”清漪摇头,“有皇后娘娘看顾,如今的秋水斋不比从前。”

“能是为的什么事呢?”纯昭仪抬手摸着那对茉莉花苞样的耳坠,猜测道,“莫非陛下不喜茉莉?”

清漪觉得不是,“这对耳坠可是陛下赏您的,上回见您戴着还夸赞好看呢。”

“那是为的什么?”纯昭仪单手托着腮叹气,“陛下的心思真是越来越难琢磨了。”

清漪蹲下替她捏腿,轻声道:“夫人递了话进来,说是打听到江南有一名医,极擅治疗妇人的难言之症,还有送子圣手之称,夫人已经派人去江南请人了。”

“当真?”纯昭仪顿时喜上眉梢,也不叹气了,忙问起清漪细节来。

在后宫里,无论有多得宠,只有有了孩子才能站稳脚跟。

另一边,御撵到了长春宫。

萧靖凡摆手示意周元德不许通报,转头看着长春宫的门,眼底神色变幻,不知在想些什么。

长春宫的寝殿内,钟皇后靠在床头,借着烛光看书。

秋穗拨开珠帘进来,轻声禀道:“娘娘,陛下在宫门口,但没下御撵。”

钟皇后一愣,抬起头看她:“陛下翻了祝美人的牌子,这会儿该在秋水斋才是。”

“许是出了什么变故。”秋穗道,“娘娘您可要出去迎一迎陛下?”

钟皇后望着烛光思量片刻,放下书起身:“替本宫更衣吧。”

谁料衣裳刚穿好,高永福在门口禀报:“娘娘,御撵离开了。”

钟皇后对着镜子拔下刚插上去的凤钗,问:“可曾留下什么话?”

高永福道:“回娘娘,陛下不曾留下话来。”

钟皇后起身,一边让秋穗替她换上寝衣一边问门外的高永福:“陛下可是从秋水斋来?”

“回娘娘的话,陛下先去了秋水斋,待了约莫两刻钟就出来了。接着去了茂华宫见纯昭仪,可没进门就走了。”高永福将查到的消息一一道来,“奴才瞧御撵去的方向,应当是回养心殿。”

“知道了。”钟皇后道,“退下吧。”

“唯。”高永福躬身离开。

秋穗扶钟皇后去床上躺下,见她又将盖在枕头上的书拿起来便轻声劝道:“娘娘,仔细伤眼,等明日再看吧。”

“无妨,再看两页。”钟皇后将胳膊搭在软枕上,唇角含着浅笑,“这书越瞧越有趣儿,明儿你带人将下册找出来,放到书房去。”

秋穗瞥了两眼书封,犹豫再三还是开口:“娘娘,这书……”

钟皇后抬眼瞥她,“这书怎么了?”

“没、没什么。”秋穗抿抿唇,将劝说的话咽了回去。

钟皇后翻过一页,视线不离书,嘴里却道:“明早祝美人来请安,你先将她带到内室来,本宫有话问她。”

秋穗问:“若祝美人来得晚呢?”

“不会。”钟皇后笃定道,“陛下去了又走,依她的性子,今夜恐无法安睡,明早只会来得比往日还早些。若本宫还睡着,不要来打扰,只管给她上一盏提神茶,等本宫睡醒再说。”

秋穗点点头,一一记下。

养心殿。

御膳房送来一碗鸡汤银丝面,搭配四碟爽口小菜。

“陛下,您多少用些。”周元德端着面碗劝自家又任性又不省心还不把身体当回事的主子。

“朕没胃口。”萧靖凡两手揉着太阳穴,转目瞥了眼几案上的小香炉,“燃的什么香?”

在殿内伺候的宫女福了福身:“回陛下的话,此香名唤雪绮香,主要用沉香、檀香与茉莉油调配,是御药房昨日送来的。”

又是茉莉。

萧靖凡眉头拧起,冷声道:“丢出去。”

他突然变脸,宫女吓得脸都白了,忙上前捧了香炉出去。

周元德跟着跑了这一晚也瞧明白了,症结就出在这‘茉莉’上头。

他心下纳闷儿,陛下何时这般不待见茉莉了?也没谁爱……

等等!他脑中灵光一闪,要说跟茉莉有关又能引得陛下如此失常的话,确实有个人来着。

他暗暗咋舌,无数感叹还没发出来呢,突听萧靖凡喊他,“拿酒来。”

周元德顿时苦了脸,劝道:“陛下,空腹饮酒伤胃,您先用些吃食吧。”

萧靖凡冷眼斜他:“拿来!”

周元德屈膝跪下:“奴才不敢。”

本就莫名不顺心的萧靖凡伸脚踹他,周元德跪着任踹,打定了主意不叫自家陛下空腹饮酒。

这要是喝出个好歹来,他十颗脑袋也不够砍的啊。

萧靖凡踹了两脚也懒得踹了,冷声道:“拖下去,杖责二……”

话未尽,小安子有些慌张地跑进来,“陛下,弄云苑走水了!”

萧靖凡一惊,顾不上罚自己的大太监,疾步往外走。

“陛下!”周元德慌忙爬起来,小跑着跟上。

Unexpectedly, she bound herself to the "Gossip System" and was assigned to serve as a tea maid in front of the tyrant. Every day, she would sneak some time to indulge in gossip, while nothing in the past or the harem could escape the system's watchful eye. "Wow! The pure and lovely Zhao Yi has just obtained a manual for secret encounters, locking herself in the palace for three days to practice quietly, planning to give the emperor a surprise." Delicate and soft Zhao Yi: "I'm so embarrassed!" "Behind the greedy officials are a string of people, including Lu Jiarui, the Zhejiang governor, and Shi Zhongzhichen, the commander..." Greedy officials: "Please let us go!" "The princess's husband is using a concubine to replace the princess's own child and even wants to make the princess have a double demise!" The sincerely betrayed princess: "Damn scumbag!" "Xing Pin was diagnosed as pregnant, but the child is by her lover!" With a green hat on his head, Xiao Jingfan: "I will turn that lover into a human pig!"… One day, the surroundings of Xiao Jingfan suddenly became quiet. "Leave the palace? Who allowed her to leave? Bring her back to me!" "Forget it, I’ll go personally!" "I’m not going back!" Zhu Liuzheng, with a bundle on her back, extended her hand towards the palace gate, "I want to go home!" "Home?" Xiao Jingfan rushed forward to embrace her, "The palace is your home." Zhu Liuzheng: "…" Unable to resist the emperor’s decree and suffer calamity upon her family, she could only slack off and continue to survive. She still gossiped in the harem. Big news after big news erupted, the previous dynasty gradually being cleaned up, and the harem becoming increasingly peaceful, with the entire Sheng nation thriving. However… Zhu Liuzheng’s expression of disdain: "Why is the tyrant here again today?" Xiao Jingfan secretly perked up her ears: "What gossip is there today?"
