Sixty-eighth
I followed Nan Chengyao to take the imperial chariot and drove in the direction of the Bauhinia Palace, my mind was uncertain and I was silent, but Nan Chengyao also closed his eyes and did not speak, so he was speechless all the way until the imperial chariot stopped in front of the Chengtian Gate. โฎ Yan Moxuan โฎ ad-free โฎ
"I respectfully invite the three highnesses and the three princesses to enter the palace. โ
The respectful and slightly shrill voice of the guiding eunuch sounded outside, and I was about to get up, turning my eyes to look at Nan Chengyao, but he didn't move.
"Your Highness. I called him softly.
He opened his eyes, looked at me deeply, and suddenly reached out his right hand and touched my cheek.
I didn't expect it for a while, instinctively stepped back, but he didn't let in, his left hand tightened, firmly stabilizing my waist.
"Your Highness......"
His fingers had a thin callus left by sword practice, and a slight rough slowly rubbed against my cheeks, and I called him for some unknown reasons, but under the gaze of his dark eyes like night, I slowly brought some panic.
He locked my eyes firmly, and then opened his mouth, his voice was very soft, only the two of us could hear it, but every word, the falling voice was extremely deep: "Qing'er, I want you to remember what I said in the 'Maple Forest Night' last night, no matter what happens, I want you to believe me, don't bear everything by yourself, worry about hurting yourself." โ
When the words fell, he didn't wait for me to answer, didn't even give me time to react, and withdrew his hand, and then answered lightly to the outside of the imperial chariot.
Someone immediately opened the curtain for us, I looked at his lips with a casual smile again, at the bottom of his eyes, a clear and indifferent, slowly got out of the car, stood against the light, and did not look back at me.
I slowly stretched out my hand to the guide eunuch who bowed down under the imperial chariot, stepped down from the imperial chariot, followed behind Nan Chengyao, walked all the way through the Jiade Gate, Taiji Gate, Zhu Ming Gate, Liangyi Gate, and finally arrived in front of the Xuanzheng Palace.
There is still the residual warmth of his palm on my cheeks, and the sun is warm on my body, but, I don't know why, but in my heart, I feel cold inexplicably.
"The emperor has a decree to announce that His Royal Highness the Third and the Third Princess will enter the palace-"
In the long tail note of the eunuch Xuanli, I accompanied Nan Chengyao to slowly walk into the hall, and at a glance, I saw the Son of Heaven sitting on the main seat of the jade steps, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and his complexion looked better than when I saw him yesterday.
And Concubine Qing, who has not been seen for a long time, wore a lake-blue silk satin brocade skirt embroidered with peonies today, holding a scroll in her hand, and she was accompanied by the Son of Heaven smiling softly and not knowing what to say, but she was extremely happy to see the emperor's expression.
After the ceremony, Enlong, the Son of Heaven, gave me and Nan Chengyao to sit on the first jade step, and Zhao Mo and Ouyang Xian came early and were sitting under the jade step.
"Yao'er, come, look at this painting. โ
The emperor took the scroll from the hand of Concubine Qing, and motioned to the eunuch who was serving behind him to slowly unfold it to us, and I got up with Nan Chengyao to look, the snow sky was vast, the iron horse was in full swing, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The emperor smiled and said: "Concubine Qing specially drew this picture of breaking the formation on a snowy day to congratulate our army on its victory. โ
Nan Chengyao smiled and responded: "Niangniang's pen is like a god, and the sons and daughters have led the three armies here to thank you." โ
Concubine Qing smiled softly: "The Third Highness led the army to defeat Beihu, and raised the prestige of my Southern Dynasty, brave and heroic, how can it be done with pen and ink." This palace only feels that there is such a loyal and filial prince who is good at fighting under the knees of the saint, and there is such a good minister with both ability and political integrity in my Southern Dynasty, so I sighed for a while, and drew this picture of breaking the formation on a snowy day, and asked the three highnesses and the two generals not to laugh. โ
Nan Chengyao, Zhao Mo, and Ouyang Xian naturally got up and thanked him when they heard this, Concubine Qing glanced at Nan Chengyao with gentle eyes, and Fang pulled back her gaze and turned to the emperor with a coquettish smile: "Your Majesty, what about the concubine who just asked you, Your Majesty will allow the concubine." โ
The emperor smiled and said: "How can I not allow the concubine's good intentions, even if you don't ask for it, I plan to write an inscription on this painting." โ
As he spoke, he instructed the eunuchs serving behind him to prepare pen and ink.
The people who served in front of the emperor were naturally extremely clever and neat, thinking that when Concubine Qing just asked for words, this ink had already been prepared, so as soon as the emperor's voice fell, there was immediately a little eunuch holding a pen and ink fish from outside the door of the Xuanzheng Palace.
The saint pondered for a moment, and Fang Ti brushed the ink toโ
"The snow day flag swaying shadow, even more urging to fly will chase the northern barbarians.
The general wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and her husband swears an oath to the country.
Shuoqi grows and tends to be vertical and horizontal, and the armor light reflects the sun's golden scales.
The success is also envied by the teacher, and the south is wide with rivers and mountains. โ
The last "wide" pen was decided, and Concubine Qing had already applauded and smiled: "Good poems, good words, this painting of the concubine can be repaired by His Majesty's own inscription, and it is really satisfying to have no regrets in three lives!"
The emperor smiled and gave the pen to the little eunuch, with a hidden color on his face.
And Nan Chengyao also stepped forward and smiled: "My father's book is a book of economic planning, extraordinary weather, and quick thinking was not weak. โ
Concubine Qing couldn't put it down while holding the picture scroll, and praised it with a smile: "Don't mention the wonder of this poem for the time being, just look at this word, the pen is strong, vigorous and powerful, Your Majesty's good hand, it really makes the concubine love it!"
Nan Chengyao said with a smile: "My father wrote well when he was young, and now he writes more and more expressively, but it's a pity that no matter how much I try to copy, I can't practice that style." โ
The emperor smiled: "You weren't by my side when you were a child, and it won't be easy to change the characters when you grow up, but although your current pen power is not like mine, it is also considerable." โ
Concubine Qing carefully handed over the scroll in her hand to the eunuchs, and motioned for them to take it down and let Zhao Mo and Ouyang Xian also worship the Holy Mobao in person, and said to the emperor with a smile: "The words of the three highnesses have not seen much, but according to the concubines, among so many princes, the most written words are probably the prince, last year when the emperor had a birthday banquet, the prince personally wrote the "Book of Filial Piety" as a congratulatory gift, and the concubine looked at the word, and it was actually the emperor's pen stroke. โ
The emperor smiled and nodded: "His handwriting was taught by me from a small stroke by hand, so it is naturally like something." โ
And here, after reading the picture scroll, Zhao Mo couldn't help but echo casually: "Indeed, His Royal Highness the Prince's handwriting is very similar to that of the emperor, and it is really a tiger father without a dog, a real royal style." โ
Ouyang Xian smiled and punched him: "What are you coaxing, you and I are both big bosses in the army, and we have been staying in Mobei, you should tell me, when will you have the opportunity to see His Royal Highness the Prince's words? Besides, don't talk about you and me, who in this world doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince's words are hard to find and will never be passed on, where do you go to see them?"
They were used to being unrestrained in the army, but fortunately, the emperor spent the first half of his life in Rong Ma and didn't care, but Concubine Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard this.
Zhao Mo's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "Really, when I led someone to seal the Dong Mansion, there was a painting written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hanging in Dong Di's study, so I only knew about it......"
"Zhao Mo, Hugh is talking nonsense. Before he finished his words, he was stopped by Nan Chengyao categorically: "Dong Di is a traitorous sinner, how can His Royal Highness the Prince's Mobao be in his mansion." โ
Zhao Mo's face was shocked, and the whole person froze there and didn't know what to do.
I already understood in my heart, and lowered my eyelashes slightly and didn't make a sound, only hearing the voice of the Son of Heaven without any emotion in the quiet Xuanzheng Palace: "Since you have never seen the prince's words before, how can you be so sure that the words are from the prince's hand?"
Zhao Mo suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Weichen is guilty of capital crimes!"
The emperor looked at him through the twelve crowns, and still said expressionlessly: "I am asking you." โ
Zhao Mo gritted his teeth, still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and then responded with a trembling voice: "Weichen, Weichen just saw that the inscription had the seal of His Royal Highness the Prince, so I thought it was ...... We ask the emperor to forgive the crime!"
The colored jade of Zhu, Bai, Cang, Huang, and Xuan swayed, and the expression of the Son of Heaven was not real, but his voice was still indifferent: "Where is the inscription now?"
Zhao Mo fell to the ground, and his voice trembled more and more: "All the things confiscated by the Dong Mansion have been handed over to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department has filed and sealed them, and the inscription must be among them......"
Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already waved his sleeves and ordered: "Come on, immediately go to the Criminal Department to open the box of the things confiscated by the Dong Mansion, find out the inscription with the prince's seal and bring it to the palace, there must be no mistake!"
