Chapter 146: Old Accounts
Qi Zongwen waited for Chang Yunchu to finish his family affairs before looking for him to enter the palace, the officials got married, and as a rule, there was a month's vacation, Chang Yunchu took the bride to give tea to his father, and waited for the palace attendant.
Chang's mother was a little worried, why was she so anxious to ask him to go.
"Your Majesty has His Majesty's own intentions. Father Chang said, "Your Majesty is not the same as the first emperor. ”
Chang Yunchu was prepared for today, changed into an official uniform and entered the palace, with a normal face, Qi Zongwen met him in Ronghua Palace, although the hostess was not there, but the Ronghua Palace was still as neat as when the mother was there.
"Although the concubine is not there to go out of the palace to pray for the queen mother's body, I still feel comfortable living in Ronghua Palace. Qi Zongwen sat on the edge of the iceberg and said, "Chang Qing, you won't mind, right?"
"Ronghua Palace is the inner palace, and the minister is the outer minister, although the mother is not there, but the minister is standing here, which is also disrespectful to the mother. Chang Yunchu bowed his head and said.
"The concubine won't care. Qi Zongwenpi said with a smile, "Aren't you a good family, you also met often when you were a child, presumably the concubine also followed behind you, the elder brother is longer and the younger brother is short." ”
"I don't know what Your Majesty means by this, but I saw the concubine a few times when I was a child. Chang Yunchu said, "But they all pull each other's children out to ask for peace when they meet, and when the ministers get older, they don't often go to the inner courtyard, and they don't see the concubine Niangniang again." ”
"Did you go to the concubine that day to catch up with the old days?" Qi Zongwen asked casually.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, the minister just took advantage of Mu Xiu to go for a walk in the mountains, but he never thought that he would meet the concubine. Chang Yunchu said with a straight face, "The concubine was slightly ill that day, His Majesty hurried away with the concubine in his arms, and the minister thought about this matter, and said more wrong, so he didn't follow the explanation, and turned his head back." ”
"Hmph. ”
"Everyone in the capital knows that the concubine went to Bao'en Temple, don't you know?
"The minister did know that the concubine went to Bao'en Temple. Chang Yunchu said innocently, "But the minister doesn't know where the Bao'en Temple is?"
"The minister didn't expect that the other side of the hill that the minister often went to in order to find tranquility was the Bao'en Temple. ”
"I asked the forbidden army to surround the mountain, and you didn't suspect it when you saw the forbidden army?" Qi Zongwen didn't believe it.
"The road the minister walked really didn't see the forbidden army. Chang Yunchu said, "After the minister went down the mountain, he also felt that it was wrong, this forbidden army was guarded layer by layer, how could there be such a loophole? But the minister couldn't remind him, so he let the family guard the intersection in the future, and His Majesty sent someone to take a look, and followed him, and he knew that the minister really didn't lie." ”
Qi Zongwen frowned, asked him where he was, and after writing it on a note, he called someone in. "Give this to Vehu and let him take a look. ”
After the others left, Qi Zongwen looked at Chang Yunchu, "Are you really not panicked at all?"
"I went back to eat and drink well these days, and I married a new daughter-in-law. ”
"You know, based on what I saw that day, I have a way to make you disappear into the world. ”
"The minister is above board, what is there to be afraid of. Chang Yunchu said, "It's not a pity for the minister to die, but does Your Majesty love the concubine so much?"
"Put the hat of infidelity on her innocent person. ”
"I don't care how I love the concubine. Qi Zongwen said, "You said that you didn't look for the concubine to reminisce about the past, but the concubine didn't say that?"
"I'm afraid that the concubine can't explain, so she can only follow His Majesty's words. Chang Yunchu said that he believed that the concubine would not tell His Majesty about the Qin family, at least now that she also knew a little about it, she would not speak easily. "It's all the minister's sin, and when the minister sees it from afar, he should avoid suspicion and leave, and he shouldn't come forward to say hello because of the number of courtesies. ”
"The relationship between the Chang family and the Qin family, the minister can't argue, after all, the minister's father is still alive. Chang Yunchu said, "But no one said it, couldn't say it, didn't dare to say it, the Qin family had accumulated in Beijing for decades, but the concubine seemed to appear in the capital out of thin air, and no one cared." ”
"The minister sent the gods for a while, and committed the crime of disrespect, how His Majesty punished the minister, the minister bowed his head and confessed. Chang Yunchu said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to believe in the concubine." She is a poor person, and only His Majesty is relied on in this world, if His Majesty does not believe her, how can she live?"
"I don't believe in the world, everyone believes in her. Qi Zongwen said, "You don't have to worry about this. ”
"You worry more about yourself, and don't worry about people who don't belong to you. ”
Chang Yunchu came out of the palace and brought some rewards from His Majesty, and after he went back, he only said that His Majesty specially summoned him to the palace to congratulate him on his new marriage.
"Your Majesty said that I only got married at such an old age, but don't delay any longer, so that I will return to the criminal department after my wife is pregnant. His face was calm, and his heart was unwavering.
The only portrait of Qin Yunyi hidden in his hand had been burned by him on the eve of marriage, burning the dream of his youth, he had been obsessed, he couldn't get her, and he couldn't defend her.
Chang's mother knew that Chang Yunchu was completely relieved when she burned things in the study, and knelt in the small Buddha hall with Buddha beads all night, and remembered the good situation of the two families back then, it was a good son, it was a beautiful Jiao'e, she saw her son's thoughts, and it was like the Qin family revealed the meaning, the Qin family did not refuse, she also joked that the two people had the word cloud in their names, which can be seen to be a match made in heaven.
The Qin family was guilty, and the lord also mentioned to her that if the inner relatives were also sent down, they would have to help if they could, although Yun'er was young, she would marry in first and raise her, so she would take care of her openly.
It's a pity that the daughters of the Qin family killed themselves when they heard about it, although Yun'er was rescued, she had already entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion and was the concubine of the Seventh Prince.
She didn't know what the two of them said, anyway, her son was very calm after that, but there was no smile on his face.
So the son refused to get married, she beat the old man, scolded and scolded, but did not force him, the eldest son also discussed with her, if the second brother is not married, he will have a son to support him in the future.
But he figured it out on his own, and it was really good that there was a suitable candidate waiting for him.
Chang Mu closed her eyes and said, "It can be seen that the marriages in this world are destined by heaven." ”
"Sister-in-law Qin, your Yun'er has to meet a lover, and now she is pregnant again, it couldn't be better. ”
"My family's Yun'er is finally getting married, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will also bless him with a harmonious husband and wife, and the heirs will last. ”
When Wei Hu returned to the palace to return to His Majesty, he said, "There is indeed a path that can go up the mountain, and after crossing a ridge is the Bao'en Temple." ”
"You didn't run into the forbidden army along the way?" Qi Zongwen asked.
Vehu shook his head. "This mountain is extensive, and the forbidden army is really difficult to guard, so they only hold the main position of entering the mountain. ”
"Draw a circle, put the mountain circle, why is it not easy to guard?" Qi Zongwen patted the table and said, "If there are not enough people, send more people, this time it is you who go up, what if it is the bandits?
"If the concubine wants to make a mistake, who will take it?"
Wei Hu bowed his head, "Actually, the safest way is to let the forbidden army surround the Bao'en Temple, so that the scope is small, and it is easy to guard." ”
"Don't I know?" Qi Zongwen said, "But the noble concubine doesn't like the bloody aura of the armor to crash into the Buddha Gate, and in such a small place, she is surrounded by people, can she be in a good mood?"
"Send more people. Qi Zongwen said. "You go and check it carefully, make up for any omissions, and make sure that the concubine is foolproof in Bao'en Temple. ”
"Yes. ”
Princess Shanshan was surprised when she arrived at Bao'en Temple, "This summer is extremely hot, it hasn't rained for many days, and the price of ice cubes in the city is even more expensive every day." ”
"I didn't expect this Bao'en Temple to be very cool. ”
"I knew that I should bring my eldest man, but I didn't dare to take him out for fear that he would be hot in the carriage. The good princess said with pity.
"Is it so hot this year?" Qin Yunyi said, "I don't think so. ”
"The ice that Naiji sent me didn't use it. ”
"I heard that there are mothers in the palace who have heat stroke. The good princess said, "In previous years, I was in the palace to escape the summer, there were not so many people in the palace, and the ice consumption was small. ”
"The eldest princess and the second princess are at ease in the palace at this time. ”
"If I hadn't thought that I was an aunt, I would have been cheeky enough to go to the palace to accompany the princess. ”
"You can go if you want. Qin Yunyi smiled, "Let's just say that the prince of the good king wants to be close to the princesses and princes." ”
"He's a two-year-old fat man, and he's a little far away from them. Princess Good said with a smile.
"That's closer than your age difference with them. Qin Yunyi also smiled.
Princess Shan looked at the concubine, "Niangniang looks very good in her arms, and her face is good, so it can be seen that she is a worry-free little prince in her belly." ”
"It's a little bigger. Qin Yunyi touched his stomach and said, his clothes had been changed to a loose appearance, but his stomach really couldn't be seen.
"Niangniang lives in the temple, is she a vegetarian?" said Princess Shan, "just eating vegetarian will not grow belly." ”
"I'll go down the next day for some tonic soup. Qin Yunyi said, "The doctor said, I feel comfortable by myself, so there is no problem." ”
"What can that tonic soup do? The good princess said worriedly, "I was fed by my prince at that time, and I weighed more than 20 pounds, and that face became a disc, this fat boy was born with strong arms and legs, and when he was half a year old, his father teased him, and he kicked his father in the face, and immediately turned black and black, and also affected me to carry the reputation of the tigress." ”
"Your boy is really good-looking. Qin Yunyi recalled her son, the flesh was pink, tender and tender, and the arms and legs were like lotus roots, and when she saw it, she wanted to put it in her mouth and take a bite, which was quite moving.
"At that time, when I got up in the morning, I rinsed my mouth and drank a bowl of white fungus soup first, four meat and four vegetables for breakfast, two dry and two soups, and it was doubled at noon and night, and I had to drink a whole chicken soup every day, I felt that I was going to become a fox spirit, and there were all kinds of tonic soups, tonic balls, dried fruit snacks, and fruit preserves. ”
"Eat anytime, anywhere. The good princess said, "My mother said that I want to hold on and eat, and eat more when I can eat, otherwise when I can't eat, there will be no way, and I can't pour it." ”
"I've been vomiting for a month, but in that month, I really can't eat anything except water, don't say it, the smell of the food smells like vomit, if the prince eats beef by himself, I smell his taste, I can vomit another pot. ”
Princess Shan, looking at the concubine's pale face, said, "I didn't mean to scare Niangniang, I just persuaded Niangniang, there is no one who does not vomit when she is pregnant with a child, eat more when she doesn't vomit, and when she wants to vomit, she has no appetite, Niangniang has not accumulated before, what does the child eat in her stomach?"
"But the Buddha Gate is pure. Qin Yunyi said.
"If the mother builds a house on the mountainside and lives in it, it is not considered a Buddhist gate. The good princess said, "Actually, I went to Yushou Palace the day before yesterday, and the Queen Mother saw me gently, and asked me if I had seen Niangniang, and said that because she let Niangniang have a baby outside the palace, she was quite uneasy." ”
"You want me to say good things for her. The good princess frowned and said, "When I think of my mother because she came to this mountain pimple, I don't want to speak for her." ”
The mother concubine said that she begged for kindness, but somehow, this body just couldn't get better, and it was repeated, and people were quite guilty. ”
"Isn't that what you deserve?"
