Chapter 196: Six Trumpets
Fu Liluo was dumbfounded, and Yu Porcelain's face was full of surprise, "Father means that you are returning to Beijing this time because of Dou Xiaoyang's help?" She really didn't expect that Dou Xiaoyang would go to the palace to intercede for Gu Qian without telling her, and he obviously met with that Dou Xiaoyang yesterday, but he didn't mention it at all.
"Yes, I heard Lord Du, the chief assistant of the Shujiang Yasi, say that it was General Dou who begged for me in front of the emperor. Also, the saint has always attached great importance to General Dou, and when General Dou opened his mouth to plead, the saint would not refute his face. ”
"That daughter will pass the General's Mansion tomorrow, and General Dou will intercede for your father, so we should come to thank you. Fu Li Luoli smiled lightly and ate tea, but his heart was a little stuffy.
That Dou Xiaoyang did things so quietly, even if he said hello, he didn't fight himself, how many things did he still hide from himself?
When she saw him tomorrow, she would have to ask clearly.
"Thanks are due. Gu Qian rubbed his palms and sat down on the sandalwood chair, squinted his eyes and said: "Wait for General Dou to return to Beijing from Jinzhou, and go to visit the general with you for my father." ”
Dou Xiaoyang went to Jinzhou on an errand at the behest of the Holy Lord, and he had to delay there for a while.
As if thinking of something, the gloomy color between Gu Qian's eyebrows became more and more accumulated.
Bai Jingliang pointed to the jade silk that pulled the orchid knot at the cuffs of the silk yarn, and Fu Liluo's chest seemed to be swinging with a breath, not up or down.
She had never heard the news of Dou Xiaoyang's departure from Beijing.
Now I have to learn from the mouths of others that she asked for a marriage contract in front of the emperor last time, and now it seems that he Dou Xiaoyang didn't put himself in his eyes at all!
Fu Liluo made a light "anthracene" sound, and then got up and retreated.
Seeing her depressed look, Gu Qian wanted to persuade one or two, but she didn't know how to speak, thinking that she must have been tired recently, and gave a few warm words, Gu Qian instructed Mama Li on the side to send her back to Yifeng Pavilion.
"Lady is not feeling well, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?" Mama Li, who was following her, saw that her eyebrows were frowning and her face was pale, so she hurriedly raised her eyes to ask, but as soon as the words came out, Mama Li felt that something was wrong.
The eldest lady is proficient in medical skills, so why do you need to go outside to ask for a doctor!
Fu Li Luo shook his head, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled and asked Mama Li not to send it.
Seeing her so insistent, Mama Li smiled and bowed down the steps of the east verandah.
The autumn rain gradually stopped, and the midday sun fell through the thin clouds, bringing a touch of heat to the previous refreshing practice.
Looking up at the crooked-necked apricot tree under the rockery, Fu Liluo walked slowly past, the wet treetops swayed left and right in the fine sunlight, a little slippery and accidentally fell into her white neck, trembling, and the faint sense of loneliness in her heart became more and more swollen.
"Miss, what are you doing standing there?" Zhiye walked out of the yard with a lacquered wood food box, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his young lady standing in a daze under the apricot tree. Holding the food box, Zhiye strode over, as if he didn't notice Fu Liluo's gloomy eyebrows, and only said with a smile: "Today is the summer heat, the slave maid went to Dongshi early in the morning to buy a lot of crisp and tender lotus seeds, and cooked the red bean lotus seed soup brought by Mama Shen from Meixian County a few days ago, and used it chilled in the morning, and just sent it to you, Miss." Miss, go and try it. ”
A while ago, the heat was too strong, and I didn't think about seeing my young lady's tea and dinner, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, and this Zhiye was very anxious when she saw it, so she dug out her heart to make the most fashionable meal to warm her stomach.
Fu Li Luo looked at Zhiye's sincere little face, and suppressed the stuffy anger in her heart, she raised her head and bent her eyebrows: "You have a heart." ”
Zhiye came later, although it is not as long as the mangrove and herself, but she is also very sincere, not only her, but even the maids in Yifeng Pavilion are very good, and their temperament is also frank and simple.
I think it's also a blessing for me.
"Miss, as soon as you left the house today, General Dou came, and the hibiscus guard beside him also brought the hibiscus osmanthus cake from the 'Jin Clinic' to Manluo, and they were eating happily!"
His eyes flashed, and Fu Liluo cleared his throat and muttered: "Yes, he must have come here today to say goodbye to me, and since I am not in the house, I can't blame him." ”
Thinking that Dou Xiaoyang pleaded for Gu Qian and went to Jinzhou to do two errands without telling himself, Fu Liluo was still resentful before, but now that he thinks about it, he is narrow-minded!
When he came here today, he must have something to tell him, so he stopped by to say goodbye.
The breeze was slow, blowing the broken hair next to her sideburns, Fu Liluo raised his hand behind her ear, looked at Zhiye and smiled brightly, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Fu Li Luo Xu walked into the yard, lifted the curtain and went in, Manluo and Qiu Tang were nesting on the rattan bed in the outer room to push pai gow, the small round table next to the rattan bed was placed with all kinds of food, and the inside was placed on the big square couch placed against the wall, Ru Ming sat upright, focusing on the embroidery work, the two new little maids were leaning over to clean, seeing Fu Li Luo come in, Qiu Tang got up and pulled her down, and smiled and handed the bone jade butterfly on the round table to Fu Liluo: "This is specially sent by General Jintong to Sister Manluo to eat, Miss, try it, it tastes very good." ”
Qiu Tang was already a narrow ghost, looking at the blushing manberry, she deliberately bit the word "deliberately" heavier.
Fu Liluo picked up a piece of shortbread casually, took a bite of it, looked at the mangrove with a smile and said: "It's really good, it must have just been baked in the morning, the guard is quite kind to you, he must have gone to buy it early." ”
The people of Yifeng Pavilion knew about the mangrove and the guard, so Fu Liluo didn't hide it for the manlo.
Taking a hundred steps back, even if he and Dou Xiaoyang can't achieve a positive result, if Na Jintong treats manluo sincerely, he will also fulfill him.
When everyone saw that their young lady mentioned the kindness of the hibiscus guard again, they also laughed.
"Miss, you..." Manluo's face flushed with shame, and she raised her hand to scratch Qiu Tang on her side, and then pulled her shoes and pulled the curtain into the inner room. Qiu Tang saw that she was annoyed, so she hurriedly followed to show her goodwill, "Sister Manluo, don't be annoyed, it's always the matter of my sister and General Jin, it's past the eyes of our eldest lady, sister, you don't know, sister, I'm really too late to envy my sister!"
Fu Liluo and Ru Ming in the outer room laughed softly when they heard this.
The brass basin was brought from the carved shelf, and Ru Ming took the handkerchief and gave it to Fu Li Luo to clean his hands, "Sister Zhiye just sent a bowl of chilled soft porridge over, and Miss will take a nap after using it." ”
Fu Liluo smiled and bowed his head.
After using the porridge, Fu Liluo felt tired again.
Xu was afraid of disturbing his young lady's lunch break, and all the maids laughed mischievously and went to the outer room to pluck it.
The thin hibiscus veil flew, Fu Liluo changed into an ordinary silk shirt and lay on the side of the stepping bed to take a nap, the butterfly wings and long eyelashes moved slightly, and after a while, she fell asleep.
Until a few dull sounds suddenly sounded in my ears: "Hiss... Hiss.. Hiss..."
Fu Li Luo opened her eyes fiercely, sat up with her arms curled, her eyebrows wrinkled suddenly, she opened the golden hook curtain, she leaned over to draw embroidered shoes, she didn't care about the disheveled clothes on her body, frowned and only rushed to the outer room, Manluo was busy rolling the shutters and rushed in, almost bumped into Fu Li Luo's arms, steady body, Fu Li Luo looked forward and asked: "But the horn on the cloth stage sounded?"
Manluo's pupils narrowed, and she grinned and exclaimed, "Listen to it!" and it rang six times. ”
Furong's face was suddenly startled, Fu Liluo shook his head, and said, "Six sounds?" She slept hazy and couldn't really hear it, but she didn't know how many times the horn on the platform had just sounded.
"Bu Jing Tai" is located in the southwest gate of the Bei Yi Imperial Palace, on the top of the main hall of the Qiushui Palace, has been in charge of the Lord Bu Si, according to the regulations of the Bei Yi, the prince of heaven and the nobles and important ministers above the second grade passed away, the horn on the "Bu Jing Tai" will be played according to the specifications. When the Son of Heaven died, the horn of the ox struck nine times, representing the return of ninety-nine to one, and all things returned to the Yuan; other royal relatives including the queen and the concubines of the second rank and above, the prince of the sect, and the prince of the family were all six times, and the second rank of the important ministers in the next two grades were two times.
After settling down, Fu Li Luo turned around and walked towards the cloud couch, raised his throat, and sat on the edge of the couch with his eyes, "Recently, I haven't heard of the noble person in the palace who is sick?
Qiu Tang and Ru Ming outside came in front and back, smacked their tongues and said, "It sounded six times, and the slaves and maids listened to it on the window lattice." ”
Everyone was shocked and fell silent.
Buckle the edge of the couch to get up, Fu Li Luo stood under the carved window with heavy eyebrows, the window edge was popped by the sudden strong wind, a gust of wind poured in, blowing her cheeks cold, looking out, only to see that the sky that was still sunny before was now cloudy, even at noon, it is also difficult to see a flower and a tree in the garden.
Maybe it's going to change again!
Ouchi Imperial Palace, Shobo Hall
Dozens of palace attendants knelt neatly on the white jade incense bricks, carrying a handkerchief to cover their mouths, everyone bowed down and hung their heads and cried, Mama Chu, who was wearing a white cloth brocade robe, pursed her lips, her eyes were red and knelt beside the seven-foot-wide agarwood round bed, clenching her palms hard, and she called "Niangniang" in a hoarse voice.
The wind rises and the curtain moves, the red Ling Baoluo tent hanging with the golden hook flutters, the peony flower embroidered with gold beads and silver thread on the tent is in full swing, under the light of the bright moon and south pearl on the top of the treasure in the palace, it shines brightly, and it is very dazzling.
Through the thin Baoluo tent, the woman in the golden silk inlaid with red auspicious clouds and phoenix dance palace clothes is lying on the cicada ice brocade quilt, her white hands are clasped, her head is full of green silk spread on the Ruyi pillow of daffodils, the round and plump cheeks like a silver plate are slightly translucent, her eyes are tightly closed, and the lip fat dyed on her lips is shining.
"Queen Mother..."A subtle cry came from behind the glazed landscape screen on the east side, and the small Prince Heng Yuwen Jingtai ran over with a red face, followed by a majestic monarch in a black court robe and a jade ribbon.
Glancing at the curtain that was raised up, the Northern Emperor Yuwen Lingyong's face was cold, his deep gaze hung over everyone's heads one by one, and the corners of his tense mouth were pursed into a cold straight line.
The air in the temple suddenly condensed.
Everyone stopped crying and only lay their heads on the cold white jade bricks.
The atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Yuwen Jingtai crossed the crowd, raised his little red face and looked at the silent father behind him, then trembled his fat little hand to open the corner of the curtain, leaned over, sobbed a few times, and finally couldn't help but turn sideways to shake the person on the bed, and cried loudly: "Queen Mother, wake up, the emperor is back to Queen Mother, Queen Mother, wake up..."
The little prince didn't understand, when he went to school in the morning, the queen mother was fine, she also smiled and said to herself, today she made her favorite snowflake jasper cake with her own hands, let herself listen attentively, he should be well-behaved, listening to Han Daru is very boring and boring, eight-year-old Yuwen Jingtai wrote it down for the first time, just to come back to see the queen mother smile and praise him for being motivated, who knows, before the end of class, the chief eunuch in his palace Hou Gonggong told him with a calm face that his mother and queen mother suddenly died in the Jiaofang Palace.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."Yuwen Jingtai was heartbroken and lay on the motionless Queen Mother Murong Youyou, his small palm twisted into a fist on the brocade quilt.
The plain yellow and elegant hank curtain hung in the air, floating in the cold wind.
The atmosphere in the hall was sad and mournful.
The bold palace people almost cried out loud.
Mama Chu, who was sad at the foot of the bed and was about to die, climbed forward and cried with tears: "Your Highness, don't cry, if Niang Niang knows that His Highness is so sad and sad, she will not feel at ease when she leaves." ”
Shrinking her trembling hand, she squirmed her dry lips and said: "The snowflake jasper cake that His Highness wants to eat, Niangniang will make it after His Highness leaves, and it is now stored in the Duobao Hammer in the West Side Palace..."
Yuwen Lingyong's eyes froze, and he waved his hand and ordered the inner supervisor behind him to take people down.
Hearing this, his heart hurt greatly, Yuwen Jingtai cried like a fountain of tears, pulling the bed curtain and crying, "Queen Mother, the emperor must study hard in the future, don't make the Queen Mother angry, Queen Mother, wake up soon..."
