Chapter 51: Birthday
Qin Yunyi listened carefully to the sound of Qi Zongwen's breathing, until her breathing was regular and long, and she was sure that he was asleep, and then she opened her eyes, and there was a night pearl sewn on the top of the tent, which was bright enough for her to see Qi Zongwen's face clearly.
Qin Yunyi couldn't sleep.
Since the accident at home, her birthday, every year, I haven't fallen asleep, because when I think of my birthday, I think of my mother, I think of the past she has always wanted to forget, I can't sleep, I just barely fall asleep, and I will have nightmares, she can't have nightmares in front of His Majesty anymore, and His Majesty avoided her for a long time after the nightmares she had last year.
She reached out from the quilt and touched Qi Zongwen's face, it was a little cold outside the quilt, but she could bear it. Aside from His Majesty's identity, Qi Zongwen is actually still a beautiful man, his eyebrows are like blades, and his eyes can be seen to be very long even when he is closed.
Qin Yunyi chuckled, the bridge of His Majesty's nose is very straight, and his lips are a little thin, his mother once said that a man with thin lips is affectionate.
Will His Majesty be merciful?
Qin Yunyi thought, at least for now, His Majesty is still very affectionate to her. Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty loves her, but why does His Majesty love her?
His Majesty said that he and his second brother were good friends, and that he had seen him, but she had no impression at all. Your Majesty's appearance is that the second brother lied to people and said that she was an ordinary friend, and she should also have an impression.
I don't know when and what opportunity the second brother became friends with His Majesty, who was still the Seven Kings at the time, and I don't know why his father, who has always been a royalist, found a letter in the study that conspired against the crown prince?
Before the sky fell, Qin Yunyi didn't know that his family had such a close connection with the royal family.
She went to ask her mother, "This is impossible, Daddy has always been loyal, how could he do such a thing, someone must be trying to frame Daddy, I want to beat the drum, I want to beg Your Majesty to find out." ”
My mother stopped her, what did she say at that time? What kind of king wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die. She remembered that her mother did not decide to take them to suicide at the beginning, and when she was surrounded in the house and could not move around at will, her mother was still not afraid to command the money to be distributed to loyal subordinates for them to hide, and also sewed valuable title deeds and silver tickets on the inside of her belly pocket to prevent them from raiding the family in the future.
At that time, my mother thought that only my father would be sentenced to death, the eldest brother and the second brother would be exiled at most, and the eldest nephew, who was only ten years old, was dragged to the dungeon by the officers and soldiers from the official school.
But later, from the time he was sent to prison, he was executed at the execution ground, three days, only three days, when the news came that all the men of the Qin family were executed at the execution ground, the mother fainted, and then woke up, there was no trace of energy, and people pulled Bai Aya, leaned against the door and shouted in the direction of the vegetable field, Da Lang, Erlang, you wait a minute, we will come.
Qin Yunyi closed his eyes tightly, don't think about the next thing, don't think about it. Her body trembled so much, Qi Zongwen was also awakened by her, seeing that her eyes were tightly closed, thinking that she was having a nightmare again, she hurriedly took her into her arms, "Yun'er, Yun'er, wake up." ”
Qin Yunyi opened his eyes, and tears flowed silently.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm by your side. Qi Zongwen hugged her tightly. "The dreams are all fake, don't be afraid. ”
Qin Yunyi whimpered, every night that was sad because of the past, she finally didn't spend it alone, she hugged Qi Zongwen hard, like a drowning person holding driftwood, Qi Zongwen patted her back, coaxing a baby, and whispered in her ear.
In the end, Qin Yunyi didn't know how he fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself holding His Majesty's bedclothes, crying and falling asleep, her eyes were dry and painful, she got up and lifted the bed tent, Miao Ping had already been waiting outside, and when she saw her get up, she was busy serving her to get up.
"Niangniang sleeps for a while, Your Majesty is going to go down to court. Miao Ping smiled and said, "When His Majesty was about to leave in the morning, the mother hugged her tightly and refused to let go, and Your Majesty had no choice but to take off her bedclothes and come out naked, which frightened the slaves and maids." ”
"Really?" Qin Yunyi was a little annoyed, he was afraid of losing his temper yesterday and was going to stay awake all night, but he still lost his temper. "Your Majesty must be very angry. ”
The slave didn't look angry. Myohei said. "Besides, when did Your Majesty ever get angry with your mother. ”
Qin Yunyi patted his face and cheered up a little. She told Miao Ping a few words and asked her to go to Shanglin Yuan to arrange, "By the way, go and tell the ladies of the palace, they won't go to Shanglin Yuan this afternoon, and they won't be able to enter if they go, and I will let the forbidden army guard the entrance when the time comes." ”
"What is the reason for that?" asked Myoping.
"There's no reason, just say I'm going to Shanglin Yuan to play, and I don't like her to disturb me. ”
How the harem talked about the concubine's dominance was not within Qin Yunyi's consideration, she dressed up carefully, ready to repay the favor and accompany His Majesty for a day.
Qi Zongwen arrived at Ronghua Palace after going down to the court, and smiled when he saw Qin Yunyi, "I thought you still had to sleep for a while, so I hurried and hurried, and I wanted to come back and sleep with you for a while.
I didn't expect you to wake up. ”
"Your Majesty didn't sleep yesterday. Qin Yunyi said shyly, "There is still a period of time for lunch, Your Majesty will take a nap first." ”
"Nope. Qi Zongwen said, "Today and every day, I will accompany you." ”
"Your Majesty accompanies me, I accompany Your Majesty, it's all the same. Qin Yunyi took his hand on the warm kang and let his head rest on his lap, "Your Majesty, go to sleep." ”
Qi Zongwen looked up at her, "Looking at you from this angle, it's a little different." ”
"How is it different?" Qin Yunyi asked, she touched her chin, "Is it ugly, has a fleshy chin?"
"No, it's not the same beauty. Qi Zongwen said with a smile, he reached out and pinched Qin Yunyi's sleeve and put it under his nose, "It's so fragrant." ”
"Guess what kind of incense?" Qin Yunyi asked him with a smile, and the two whispered back and forth, until Qi Zongwen came up sleepy, closed his eyes and recuperated, and Qin Yunyi looked at him quietly.
Miao Ping glanced at it from a distance and motioned to everyone else to be quieter and not to disturb His Majesty and Niangniang in the room.
Han Xing took his followers to the tea room to rest, "Take off your shoes and bake them, this snow day is uncomfortable." ”
"This. The little eunuch hesitated a little, "Wait for Your Majesty to call someone, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take off your boots." ”
"Don't say that grandpa doesn't teach you. Han Xing comfortably took off his shoes and stepped on the edge of the brazier, "Ronghua Palace is different from other places, Your Majesty will be the same as Tianqing Palace when you arrive at Ronghua Palace, comfortable and comfortable, there will be no sudden call to people." ”
"Mr. Han. Mu Chengzhou opened the curtain of the tea room and came in. "Look at what good things I brought you, the big red robe of the royal offering, given by the mother, a total of two taels, I have not been willing to drink, just waiting for you to drink it together one day." ”
"You don't mean what you say. Han Xing said, "I don't have more days to come to Ronghua Palace?"
"Didn't this tea be given two days ago? Mu Chengzhou said, he skillfully brewed a pot of tea, a cup per person, Han Xing squinted his eyes after taking a sip, "Fragrant." ”
Mu Chengzhou wrapped the remaining tea leaves and put them in Han Xing's purse.
"You're a goblin, and you're used to currying favor with me. Han Xing said, "Who believes it, the concubine's Ronghua Palace, there is no oil and water for one or two trips." ”
"Isn't this Mr. Han, you don't like silver?" Mu Chengzhou said, "If you want to say that you want silver, naturally there will be a lot of silver to offer, and I will save trouble." ”
"Is it useless to have more silver, can you eat it or can you wear it?" Han Xing shook his head and said, "If you want more silver, you still have to smash your hands, but the silver elsewhere should still be collected, Ronghua Palace is different, and it is different from other places." ”
"Yes. Mu Chengzhou said, "Mr. Han is in Tianqing Palace, and he will not accept the filial piety money of his disciples and grandchildren." ”
"You kid. Han Xing said in an old-fashioned manner, although he was not much older than them, who called him a senior, "Actually, I regretted it for a while when I brought you to Ronghua Palace, the people behind this are not as clever as you, and they can't get started no matter how they are trained." ”
"Manager Han lifted me up again. Mu Chengzhou said. "I will always remember that it was Manager Han who found such a good place for me, and the concubine was kind and easy to serve. ”
"Then you have to get into the eyes of the concubine. Han Xing said. "What day is this? Your Majesty has called for the afternoon deliberations to be postponed. ”
"That's just right. Mu Chengzhou said, "Niangniang asked me to come out of the ice rink in Shanglin Yuan today, and let people surround it, not letting others in, and I happened to play with His Majesty in the afternoon." ”
"Why do you go to Shanglin Yuan on such a cold day?" the little eunuch asked puzzled.
"You can play whatever you want. Han Xing said, "You didn't take off your shoes, go back to my house and bring me the leather boots that have increased the bottom by three points, and go to Lin Yuan, these shoes can't stand it." ”
Qi Zongwen woke up after sleeping for two quarters of an hour, and when he opened his eyes, he happened to bump into Qin Yunyi looking at him, he chuckled, "Am I that good-looking?"
"Good looking. Qin Yunyi said, "Your Majesty is not sleeping?"
"Well, that's enough. Qi Zongwen said, he stood up and touched Qin Yunyi's legs, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, it's just a little numb. Qin Yunyi said, "In the future, I will give Your Majesty a pillow, and I will just watch from the side." ”
"Yesterday I was your pillow for most of the night, and I wasn't numb. Qi Zongwen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is a big husband, I'm just a little woman. Qin Yunyi said coquettishly.
"Hey, what about Han Xingren?" Qi Zongwen looked around and said, "Where's the thing?"
"What is it?" Qin Yunyi asked.
"Gift list. Qi Zongwen said, "How can you not receive a gift on your birthday?"
"Then I don't get two birthday gifts a year. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be too greedy?" ”
"What's this. Qi Zongwen said, "As long as you want, the good things in the world are yours." ”
The gift list Han Xing had already handed it over to Miaoping, and it happened to be presented at this time, Qin Yunyi looked at it with relish, and Qi Zongwen felt a little sad when he looked at her happy appearance, "Originally, you should have received more gifts today." ”
"What Your Majesty gave me is worth sending me to thousands of people. Qin Yunyi said, "Maybe in the future, more and more people will know that today is my birthday, and they will come to congratulate me." But in my heart, I will always remember that today, His Majesty accompanied me for my birthday, the birthday of the two of us. ”
