Chapter 1054: Sarcasm
The next day, Chu Cang felt that he had just closed his eyes when Xia Yi woke him up.
"Empress, it's almost midnight. Get up quickly. I have to serve tea to the Queen Mother today." Xia Yi shouted softly from the bedside.
Chu Cong opened his sleepy eyes with difficulty, and when he saw that the emperor was not around, he asked, "Where is the emperor?"
"Get up and drink tea in the outer room. Chun Kuo and Dong Fu are waiting on you." Xia Yi said.
Chu Cang felt it was so unfair.
Yesterday, after the emperor brought her to bed, he took out a small picture album, which was similar to the one she read the night before, but it was nearly twice as thick.
The bastard emperor actually followed the postures in the little album and made her move one by one, tossing her for a long time.
At first, she was still counting, but later she was knocked unconscious several times and forgot to count, but she also knew that the emperor had completed nearly half of the small album.
It wasn't until dawn that the emperor was satisfied and let her go.
She remembered that before she fainted from exhaustion, she seemed to hear the emperor say, "Good wife, we are already halfway done. Let's continue tonight."
At that time, she was already thinking about scolding her mother.
As a result, the emperor rode hard like a horse all night, but now he got up early and was full of energy.
As for her, she didn't use any strength, it was the emperor who was exerting his strength, but she was the most tired one. She was too tired to lift her arms, and her lower body was in sharp pain.
But nothing happened to the emperor.
So unfair.
Chu Cang felt a sense of grievance in his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, she pushed herself up, endured the pain, and slowly moved out of bed. Xia Yi and Qiu Shang quickly squatted down, each with one shoe, to help her put it on.
As soon as I got out of bed, I saw the emperor walking in with a smile on his face.
"I'll come, you go out." The emperor said in a good mood.
"Are you coming?" Chu Cong stared at him in astonishment. Could it be that the emperor would still do her bun?
Her eyes moved to his hands.
She knew that the emperor had martial arts skills that were not inferior to those of the prince, but she didn't know that the emperor would give women buns?
"Well, I'm here. From now on, I will draw your eyebrows and do your bun."
The emperor learned this move from Chu Jingqi.
He had heard from the secret guard that as long as Chu Jingqi was at home, Chu Jingqi would take care of everything about Chu Yu and would not let the maid disturb their world of two in the house.
The emperor felt that Chu Jingqi's approach could enhance the relationship between husband and wife, and it was a good way to make a young couple stay in love for a long time.
If he wants to live the life of an ordinary couple, and wants a wife who can be in harmony with him, he must cultivate the relationship between husband and wife, so that his wife will fall in love with him, stay with him willingly, make shoes for him, embroider clothes, Give birth to children and spread the branches and leaves.
The secret guard said that Chu Jingqi's clothes, shoes, socks, etc. were all made by Chu Yu, and he never faked them.
He also wanted Chu Cang to do it for him.
In order to live a life of a couple who only envied mandarin ducks but not immortals, the emperor worked hard. Behind the back of the queen mother, he secretly learned how to comb buns and eyebrows from the palace maids, and sent secret guards to secretly investigate Chu Cong's preferences, and even went so far as to ask him In her bedroom, add books that Chu Cang likes to read and small ornaments that she likes to play with. Even when he learned that Chu Cong liked camellia, he sent someone to the back garden, moved a few small camellia plants, planted them in jade pots, and placed them on the window next to the Arhat's bed in the bedroom.
When eating outside, you can see the emerald green camellia flowers as soon as you look up, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and their appetite will increase a bit.
Of course, the emperor would not tell Chu Cong what he had done for Chu Cong.
When he was combing Chu Cang's bun again, the emperor shamelessly asked, "Daughter-in-law, from now on, you will make my underwear, shoes and socks for me yourself, and don't let anyone do it for me."
In the past, the emperor's clothes, shoes and socks were all made by the needlework bureau. Every quarter, there were twelve pairs of shoes, socks and clothes. If there were not enough clothes, more would be added. There was no need for Chu Cong to make them for him personally, but the emperor envied those individuals. In an ordinary married life, they would shamelessly ask Chu Cang to do it for him.
Chu Cong was gentle and easy to talk to, but she didn't understand some of the rules in the palace. She thought that as the emperor's wife, she should make clothes for the emperor, so she agreed happily, "I understand, but, Your Majesty, I couldn’t leave the palace, so I asked the emperor to send someone out of the palace to buy fabrics for the emperor’s clothes.”
"Well, the Sewing Bureau has it, you can just send the palace maid to get it." The emperor smiled happily, with the corners of his mouth reaching behind his ears, and he praised himself happily, "Look, the wife I chose is different, she is more expensive than those others The woman took it by force.”
When the late empress was alive, she never made a piece of clothing for the emperor, not even a pair of socks. They were all made by the needlework bureau.
The Queen's own clothes were also made by the sewing bureau.
When the late empress was still alive, apart from competing for power with the empress dowager, she also dressed up herself or showed off her majesty as a queen in front of her concubines.
In short, everything changed after the first empress was promoted from the eldest princess to the empress. She was indifferent to the emperor and only cared about power and the interests of her family.
As for Chu Cong, the emperor is very confident. She will not change and will not be blinded by power like the first queen, because she is Chu Yu's person and is the maid trained by Chu Yu.
He believed in Chu Yu's character and the people who served Chu Yu.
After being dressed properly, the emperor took the queen to the palace where the queen mother lived and served tea to the queen mother.
"Hmph, it's almost three strokes a day. Do you finally remember that there is still an old lady like me here?"
As soon as the emperor and Chu Cong entered the door, they heard the Queen Mother's sarcasm.
The emperor and Chu Cang were both stunned.
Not to mention Chu Cang, it was the first time for the Emperor to hear the Queen Mother speak to him in this tone. He looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
The Queen Mother was playing with her beautiful and charming finger cots. She did not raise her head to look at the two of them, nor did she greet them affectionately for tea. She also exuded a strange aura around her, which made the Emperor uncomfortable for a moment.
"Mother, the emperor is not too late. He is just in the middle of the morning. This is the right time to serve tea." After the emperor was stunned for a moment, he returned to his usual gentle demeanor in front of the queen mother.
Only then did the Queen Mother raise her head and glance at him, and hummed, "Chen Shizhong, it's already late. I've eaten breakfast and drank a pot of tea, and..."
"Mother, please be considerate of the emperor. He was newly married yesterday. He got up a little late today because he was so happy. It's all the emperor's fault. Please don't blame the emperor."
The emperor quickly interrupted the Queen Mother, fearing that the Queen Mother would say that she didn't want to drink Chu Changjing's tea.
You know, it was because Rong Wu came late that the Queen Mother refused to meet her and refuse her tea. The emperor did not want to see his wife being treated like Rong Wu.
What's more, they didn't come too late.
During the first day of the year, the daughter-in-law of ordinary families comes to serve her mother-in-law tea at this time.
