Chapter 18 is all about eating
What a great sin it is to lust for one's mouth, so please forgive me as a sinner.
Hearing this, he said with a smile, saying that he didn't mind, anyway, it wasn't the food he wanted to get.
Hearing that he was full of poetry and books, he talked funny, Bei'er talked with him very happily, and now he has a common language in food, and the two have been dating back and forth, forgetting the passage of time, forgetting the white horse passing through the gap, and forgetting their original purpose.
Winter is coming soon, and in that early winter, Wen Jianshen finally broke Bei'er's secret, and the imperial food sent every day, even if she could eat it again, it was impossible to eat it all, in other words, she hid all the imperial food.
"Why?" Wen Jianshen asked Bei'er.
Bei'er hung her head and pursed her mouth, like a mussel, she didn't open her mouth when she died, she couldn't say it, this was her biggest secret, she promised to return to Zhaoyi Niangniang.
Wen Jianshen was not stumped by this, he said: "To be honest, I already know what you are hiding in the attic.
Bei'er's eyes widened in shock, but she still clenched her teeth and didn't speak.
"You think I'm bombing you, it's a child, right?" Bei'er said earlier that the emperor has no heirs, and the concubine is in the harem, and the concubine definitely doesn't want someone to give birth to a child in front of her, and Zhaoyi suddenly fell ill and had a bad appetite, it is likely that she is pregnant, and the only way to protect the child is to secretly give birth to the child first, and then secretly inform the emperor in the future. Bei'er, as a palace maid who can be trusted by Zhaoyi, how could she do such a stupid thing as eating up the imperial meal, so~
You pretended to be demoted in order to secretly raise the prince for Zhaoyi.
Bei'er finally accepted his fate: Over the years, no one in the palace has been pregnant, but no one has successfully raised the eldest prince, either miscarriage or died after giving birth, the emperor favors the concubine, even if he knows that the concubine has a problem or let it go, we can only make this decision, please, don't tell others.
"Who can I talk to?" Hearing this, he smiled, "You forgot?
You're dead. Bei'er was rejoicing at the same time, but the inexplicable regret in her heart became even stronger, meeting the right person at the wrong time, probably this feeling, right? She shook her head violently, dispelled the strange thoughts in her mind, cheered up, and talked to Wen Jianshen about the little prince she secretly played: "His Royal Highness the prince doesn't have a name yet, I secretly call him a little bit, because he was born only a little bit, and because he has a tear mole in the corner of his eye, the same as yours." ”
As he spoke, Bei'er suddenly let out an exclamation and pointed to Wen Jianshen: "You won't"
"I won't do anything?" Wen Jianshen looked at Bei'er encouragingly.
"It can't be the direct relative of the little prince, right?" The direct ancestor of the little prince must only be the emperor. In other words, Wen Jianshen is the failure of Gong Dou, and that is the final winner?!"Then what do you still want?"
Wen Jianshen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed: "Why are you so sure that I am a spirit god." ”
"Hey?" Bei'er was stunned.
"A secret for a secret. You are secretly hiding in the cold palace to raise the prince, and I am sure that there are some reasons why you are hiding here. ”
Bei'er and Wen Jianshen reached a treaty of mutual non-betrayal because of their common secrets, and Wenjian Shen continued to help Bei'er save food for the little prince, and Bei'er would not interfere with what Wen Jianshen did, and the two got along amicably.
The only bad thing is that Wen Jianshen wants to see the little prince who is still in swaddling clothes, and Bei'er disagrees, she said: "You haven't said the reason why you are hiding in the cold palace." ”
"If I let you know, you will let me see the little prince?"
"Impossible," Bei'er shook her head firmly. She promised Zhaoyi Niangniang that even if she died, the little prince would not be in a little danger. Wen Jianshen was too mysterious and unpredictable, and she couldn't let this uncertainty lead to the little prince
Hearing this, he was helpless: "Why are you so domineering?"
"It's so domineering, what can you do with me?" There is a spoiling in his eyes that can't be hidden, but he refuses to forgive people.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me.
"You!"
"Then I'm going to have a hard time raising it. The smile in his eyes deepened, and he expressed his position with practical actions, and since then, the food delivered by the imperial dining room has been more nutritious and easy to eat, suitable for children.
Even,On a certain day when the sun is particularly good,,I heard that a dish of imperial food that is said to have been lost-
Singing roosters in the world is white.
Jianghu is commonly known as milk stewed eggs.
Bei'er tasted it, her eyes widened, it was still the recipe of the past, the familiar taste, this was the imperial meal she had when she was demoted for some reason, and it was also her favorite food!
On that day, she and Zhaoyi Niangniang knew that the separation was imminent, and Zhaoyi Niangniang said that since she was always degraded for stealing imperial food, if you want to eat, you naturally have to eat your favorite.
Tears welled up all of a sudden, and they were alive by Bei'er herself
Holding back, she can't cry, can't!
Wen Jianshen silently accompanied Bei'er, silently, as reliable as a mountain.
Bei'er looked up and heard deeply, opened his mouth a few times, closed it a few times, some words are not suitable to say now, day after day.... Neither.
I can only remember this person's appearance deeply with these eyes, and recall with a smile to my children and grandchildren many years later, that year, I saw a man who was more handsome than the fairy, and his smile was warmer than the rising sun.
Wen Jianshen was also looking at Bei'er, and the words were on his lips, as if there were a thousand words, but they couldn't say it, because they all knew that some things could only be like this, with affection and courtesy.
They are very close, only one step away, but one step is ten thousand years.
He said, "I'm sorry. ”
That night, there was a nameless fire in the attic of the North Garden of the Cold Palace, which was as big as the one that had been there more than ten years ago, and the fire burned half of the palace red, as if rendering the sky into the same blood-red color. The fire was so scorching, but it made Bei'er's heart fall into an ice cave.
Sister Bei'er, I've grown up
Bei'er felt that she finally understood, and when she heard that Shen was really right when she first saw her, she was stupid.
"You are a person sent by the concubine? The purpose of hiding here is to determine the location of the prince, and then kill him?
Wen Jianshen was still so silent, his face was expressionless, his eyes were unwavering, looking at Bei'er, and he seemed to be looking at others through her.
Bei'er didn't have time to talk to Wen Jianshen anymore, the most important thing at the moment was to rescue the little prince, she desperately wanted to break into the attic, but she was blocked by an invisible thing, and she couldn't get in.
The fire burned all night, and no one came to put out the fire, even though Bei'er was screaming hoarsely; Everyone seemed indifferent to the fire. Only Bei'er still remembers the little prince in the attic, he is still so young, he even cries carefully, not much louder than the cry of a milk cat.
Dawn broke, Bei'er sat down in the clearing, it's over, everything is over.
But when the sunlight finally broke through the clouds and hit the attic, the nameless fire suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the attic was intact and did not appear to have been burned at all.
What the hell is going on?!
Bei'er's eyes widened and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Wen Jianshen finally stepped forward and wanted to help Bei'er up with his hand, but he couldn't, his hand passed through Bei'er. -Cut as if already
Needless to say, it seems that it must be made clear.
Wen Jianshen sat on the ground with Bei'er, and said slowly in a low magnetic voice: "My mother concubine is a little Zhaoyi in the palace, the concubine is jealous, and she can't tolerate others giving birth to the prince before her, but the mother concubine is already pregnant with me, and I can't bear to lose it." The faithful maid beside her came up with a bold idea
.....
Bei'er trembled and turned his head to look at Wen Jianshen, "What are you talking about?" I'm saying, Sister Bei'er, I've grown up. ”
Bei'er seems to have finally remembered that in those years, when she took the little prince to hide in Leng Guandong and Tibet, there was no hope, no future, and she didn't know what year and month she had to wait like this, she only knew that she had to wait, protect the little prince, and wait, all the time. - years, two years, until the sixth year, the concubine still found out.
Zhaoyi Niangniang was poisoned by a glass of wine, and desperately told the emperor the news of the prince before her death.
The concubine's minions rushed to the cold palace before the eunuch sent the decree, and a fire burned the attic. Bei'er rushed into the sea of fire in order to save the prince, and threw the little prince out of the window on the first floor at the last moment of his life, away from the sea of fire.
"Are you alright? You're not burned, are you?" Bei'er anxiously wanted to check the wounds on Wen Jianshen's body.
Wen Jianshen shook his head, looked at Bei'er, and said, "I'm fine,
Don't worry, Sister Bei'er, the eunuch who passed the decree after you threw me out has arrived, I am the son of my father, Emperor Wei, and I was crowned the crown prince.
Now that the concubine is dead, my father has also passed away, and I have inherited the world.
Therefore, only when I heard and saw Shen did I have the right to search for the power of the world and recall Bei'er again.
"I just want to see you again, just once. "The emperor called himself lonely, because when he stood at this step, he was really left alone, and he was so lonely, so no matter what, he wanted to see the person who only gave him warmth when he was a child. She wasn't the best-looking, nor the cutest, but when she smiled, she showed two dimples, but she was the best in his mind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "I don't know that after summoning you back, you forgot that you were dead, that he was an adult, and that she couldn't go back to where she was supposed to be reincarnated," I was so selfish. "That's why you're asking me what I have to do with my last wishes. Bei'er slowly finally accepted this. So that's the case, the incense case for the table
The one who really worships is her, and she is the fool who has forgotten that she is dead.
Wen Jianshen's eyes looked at Bei'er all the time, and remembered her appearance for a lifetime, he thought that Bei'er's intentions
It was the bowl of milk stew that could no longer be eaten, but it was found that all that Bei'er couldn't let go of was the prince who was helpless in the attic and could be assassinated at any time, even if she died, she was still faithfully abiding by the responsibility of taking care of the prince.
In other words, she is the only one who is obsessed.
So happy, and so sad.
Wen Jianshen clenched his hands until he pinched out the blood, and finally woke up his reason because of the pain: "Sister Bei'er, I have been able to take care of myself, so please rest assured,.....".
Please be reincarnated with peace of mind.
The sun shone on Bei'er's face, it was so comfortable and warm, just like when she first entered the palace, Zhaoyi Niangniang held her hand. She smiled and looked at Wen Jianshen, the one she took care of the six-year-old child, the one she saw.... She was really happy with the excellent man, and she said, "See you in the next life." ”
Before the word "see" was fully issued, the old memories from more than ten years ago completely dissipated into the sun.
Leaving a moon-white crane, he stood for a long time in the heavy snow that came one after another.
The last day Bei'er saw the deep smell, the first snow in the winter of 119.
She finally understood that it was time to say goodbye to this world, and it was not Wen Jianshen who left drunk, but her.
That man was so pretty, she thought.
In the seventh year of Tianmao, when the master was praying for the blessing of the country in the imperial capital, he took a hexagram for me by the way. The hexagram said that I had a lot of peach blossom luck recently, so the flying pigeon sent a message to call me to return to the imperial capital quickly. The letter is full of Master's earnest teachings: "Arnold, for the sake of the teacher, it is better for you to give up as soon as possible
The idea of provoking the peach blossoms outside, it is a serious matter to return to Beijing as soon as possible to avoid this rotten peach blossom disaster. In Master's view, the peach blossom is a calamity, not for anything else, just because I am an outsider, commonly known as a monk.
I'm a Taoist aunt stall, and I'm lucky with peach blossoms, isn't it a disaster?
I was speechless at the letter for a long time, and then watched the burning peach blossoms in front of the window for half a day, and then slowly started to pack my luggage. After a long time, he finally arrived at the imperial capital. I deliberately slowed down along the way, deliberately drilled into crowded places, and there was not a single peach blossom on my body. On the contrary, the snow-white peony epiphany at the gate of the city was in full bloom, and occasionally a breeze carried the petals in the air, and landed a lot on my shoulders.
Master has deceived so many people up and down the country, and now he has deceived me.
This kind of scene is the easiest to make people poetic. As I rode on my horse, pondering whether to recite a poem that "tears splashed when I feel it" or a song that "things are people, not everything", I was distracted by a kind and unobtrusive remark.
"Ru Hanamichi, do you know that you're back?"
When I impulsively left home,
Master gave me a Taoist name: Ruohua. But some people have no culture and three customs, saying that Fanghua Dao Chang is called Ruhua, if it is such as, Hua is Hua, Shengsheng called Ruohua Dao Chang Ruhua Dao Chang.
This person, the boy on the black horse in front of him, waved his hand at me from afar, with a malicious smile on his face. Although the robe is plain moon-white satin, but above
The pattern embroidered with gold thread is extremely complicated.
The whole crown of the bunched hair on the head, although it is lucky to see clearly, but you don't need to use your brain to guess that the carving process on it is also extremely complicated. This made me feel a kind of disgust that only a monk has, and his dress is too bells and whistles compared to me in a simple green coat!
In order to behave as much as possible, I took out the dust that I basically didn't use from my horseback bag, and with a flick of my right hand, I put it on my left arm.
"Prince of the Dark Horse, the poor road is so polite, are you going out of the city to observe the people's feelings?
The dark horse prince is not a prince who becomes a dark horse, but his mount from childhood to adulthood is a dark horse.
Although it is not close, I can still see that the face of the prince of the dark horse has darkened, and I can vaguely hear his voice gritting his teeth: It is not enough to observe the people's feelings, I just came to see if you are sick, and it took fifteen days to come back from Suiyuan Prefecture. His gaze swept over my face, "Now it seems that the complexion is so good!"
"TOEFL and TOEFL are all thanks to the Dark Horse Prince. ”
In line with the idea of "a good Taoist aunt does not fight with the prince", I cautiously rode my horse into the city. Approaching the city gate, I didn't go directly to the palace, but just in the Quenxian Residence
I found a seat and sat down to take a sip of tea. The prince of the dark horse, who has always only scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, also sat next to me and drank tea.
Zuixianju is one of the best restaurants in the county,
The tea on it is naturally the best of tea. In the fragrance of tea, the prince of the dark horse lazily asked me: "Like a flower, how is the scenery of Suiyuan?"
I picked up the tone: "Suiyuan is my master's hometown, which is beautiful and beautiful, like a realm outside the world, and it is most suitable for people like poor people."
The hand of the prince of the dark horse holding the teacup trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Then why did you suddenly come back again.....?
It can't be said that I came back to hide from the peach blossom luck, so do I want this face or not?
I pretended to be melancholy and looked out the window: "No matter how good Sui Yuan is, there is no one I value." ”
It is said that this reason can be summed up in a word that can be found in books: nostalgia. But I don't dare to say that, for fear of being ridiculed by the dark horse prince for my literary crepe, after all, back then, in Shouyang Courtyard, the two of us were the most hated people to study!
The hand of the prince of the dark horse was stunned, and then he drank tea like sake, and when I was worried about whether his throat was smoking, he said with a cold air: "But the person you value has not come to pick you up." ”
Master didn't come to pick me up because he was busy, and the Prince of Dark Horse actually knew that he who picked me up was not someone I valued. In fact, he was humble, in the years of Shouyang Academy, whenever I wanted to find someone to skip school and sneak out of the palace to play, I still valued him very much. After all, among my classmates, only he who doesn't know how to study is the same as me.
If it weren't for the smell of the same smell for so many years, he wouldn't have made a special trip to pick me up today. Thinking of this, I glanced at him gratefully, filled the tea bowl, drank it all, and substituted tea for wine, which was regarded as a small favor to him.
However, he may smell the same as me, but he may not have the same heart as me. For I could clearly see that he looked at me with pity as he drank the tea from the bowl in one gulp.
Before I could understand the reason for his pity, he beckoned Xiao Er to bring him a pot of good wine.
He continued to look at me with pity: "If you want to drink, just say it, after being a monk for so long, you may also want to drink and want to go crazy." Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret for you.
Me: "......"
The Prince of the Dark Horse accompanied me to sit in the Drunken Immortal Residence for a while, and then said that he wanted to go back to the official business, and asked me if I wanted to go back to the palace with him. I saw that it was still early, and the master estimated that he was still doing the lunch class, so he asked him to go first, and only after that point in time did he start to rush to the palace. On the way to the palace, there was no hindrance, and even a few passing fathers-in-law from the imperial dining room came to talk to me about the old ones, and after a few sycophants, they gave me a box of new style pastries by the way. It's so popular, in fact, because I'm also a person with a backstage. Although he does not have the illustrious background of the Dark Horse Prince, the national teacher is my master.
happily went to see the Master with the pastries, only to be told that he and His Majesty were still talking about the scriptures. They talk endlessly. I squatted outside Master's door and boredly took out the box of pastries and ate them, but I didn't notice anyone walking up to me because I was eating so seriously.
"Why don't you go to the house and eat.
I jerked my head up, and I saw a handsome face as warm as his voice. I swallowed a large gulp of pastry so hard that my throat felt a little dry. He stretched out his hand and tried to pull me up: "No, be careful that your legs are numb after squatting for a long time."
But why do I feel more numb to listen to my nickname?
I got up from the ground and slapped my ass to cover up my two steps back. I have to remind him of the fact that I am already a Dao Gu: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you should call the poor Dao Ruohua Dao Chief."
Although the second prince is the second among the princes, he is not the same at all. He smiled bitterly: "Ah Wan, I can't stand you, I didn't expect you to become a monk because of me." "The day after His Majesty gave the second prince and the prime minister's daughter a marriage, I became a monk, and I really blamed him. He can't afford to be a prince like this, and I'm really embarrassed to complain about anything, so I comforted him casually: "Actually... It is also good to be a monk. ”
"Oh, what's so good?"
Someone threw such a sentence coldly, so that I couldn't answer it, but it was not good anywhere. I followed the prestige, and around the corner of the hallway were two familiar men. One is my immortal master of the national teacher, and the other is the tall and handsome dark horse prince.
I directly ignored the dark horse prince, ran to the master in three steps and two steps, grabbed his arm, and offered courtesy: "Master, are you back?
From childhood to adulthood, the prince of the dark horse likes to dismantle my platform: "If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have stayed so long before coming back." There seemed to be dissatisfaction with me in his tone.
I curtly said, "Isn't it more timid for me to be close to home."
The prince of the dark horse saw the second prince: "Is the second brother here to inquire about the body of my father?" I passed by and saw the national teacher coming back, and I was also going to ask about this. ”
The master stroked his beard and said, "The two princes can rest assured, Your Majesty is fine. ”
After finally sending away the two princes, I began to talk to the master: "Master, is it that your old man misses me too much, so he made up a lie that I have peach blossom luck to trick me back." "I really doubt that legendary peach blossom.
The master yawned and pretended to be profound: "Although you are not the only teacher who is worried about you, the teacher will never use hexagrams to bluff you." ”
I suddenly became alert: "Who, who is still thinking about me?!"
Master and His Majesty had been talking for a long time, so he was really tired, and waved his hand: "Who cares about you? '
After saying that, he yawned and walked into the back room. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable Maitreya Buddha! I have already become a Taoist aunt, and the second prince has not given up on me!
He doesn't give up, but I want to die.
I came out of Master's and walked around the winding verandah, intending to wander around the palace for a while to see if I could relieve the anguish in my heart. In front of the gazebo, a long figure leaned against a vermilion carved pillar, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded him with a soft glow.
The prince of the dark horse didn't wonder when he looked at me with a bitter and hateful look, and he rarely didn't ridicule me: "Shouldn't the monks be able to see everything, how can they still make such a look."
I said bitterly, "It's not a problem I can't see at all." ”
"What's that?"
"Suppose your prince falls in love with a...."I think I should explain the problem more tactfully, "what should a nun do?"
The prince of the dark horse scoffed: "I will never like a nun." ”
"What about Aunt Dao? Of course... Of course, I'm just making an analogy, not myself. ”
"Oh, if that's the case, it's not difficult, just force her to be vulgar. ”
I was struck by lightning, and I forgot to speak proportionately: "I don't want to be vulgar for this reason!"
The prince of the dark horse looked at me hurtfully: "But you must know that it is not difficult to make a monk return to the world as a prince. ”
I seem to see the miserable situation in the future where I was forced by the second prince to become his concubine and be abused by the prime minister's daughter. There is a custom of the royal family of Tanguo, that is, let the outstanding sons and princes of the princes and nobles study together in Shouyang Academy, and these sons and brothers are likely to become the pillars of the country in the future, so that they can study, which is conducive to cultivating the friendship between monarchs and ministers. When Master picked me up, he was already a national teacher valued by His Majesty, he took my young hand, and said to His Majesty with tears in his eyes that he had found a precious father-daughter relationship, and he wanted to ask His Majesty to resign and return home. Where was Your Majesty willing to agree, saying that you can find father-daughter love in the palace, so he threw me to Shouyang Academy.
In Shouyang Academy, I had the same stink as the dark horse prince who was also uneducated and unskilled, and often skipped school without saying anything, and even engaged in cockfighting and lackeying. The reason why the Prince of Dark Horse is called Prince of Dark Horse is because his mount when he was a child was a black horse. Once, I played on the black horse, and he fell off the horse and lay in bed for two months. That time, I had a big accident and almost lost my head, but it was the second prince who interceded in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty remembered my master, so I finally escaped death.
It was from that moment that I began to pay attention to the second prince who I didn't take much of Airi on weekdays, the second prince who always ranked first in every month-end exam in the entire Shouyang Courtyard. I always thought that he disdained to look at a scumbag like me squarely, but he would actually intercede for me. At that time, I didn't know whether I was in love at the beginning or not, but it was indeed the most narcissistic age, and I thought that he was fascinated by my debauchery and freedom-loving demeanor. I cheekily went to him to verify it, and he acquiesced. Later, after His Majesty gave him and the prime minister's daughter a marriage, he came to me and said that he liked me very much and would definitely accept me as a side concubine in the future. When I heard this, I was dumbfounded, afraid that such a day would come and I couldn't refuse, so I left home in a hurry and traveled all over the world.
But Master said that he was still thinking about me. And the prince of the dark horse also said that it is not difficult to make Daogu a vulgar person as a prince. If I want to be his little wife for the rest of my life and be oppressed by his eldest wife, then I might as well elope with his own brother Prince Dark Horse! Thinking of this, I looked up at the color of Prince Dark Horse, maybe I want to be willing. It's also funny, I actually started daydreaming of eloping with him in broad daylight, and it doesn't smell good to eat anything, right?
It seems that he also understands the pain in my heart, but when I am out of my home for more than a year, I can see a little more openly, since sooner or later the second prince will force me to be vulgar, I don't eat or drink is not the solution to the problem. I didn't bother to discuss such a profound issue with the prince of the dark horse, so I casually made up a reason: "That's because Master refined an appetizing pill for me." ”
"Why didn't you see the national teacher at today's wedding banquet?" The dark horse prince looked around and said.
I ate a piece of lotus cake, looked up and asked, "You haven't had a good appetite lately?" But my master only refined an appetizer.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly and caught fire, so loud that it almost drowned out the sound of the silk and bamboo in the joy hall. When we heard the news and rushed there, we found that it was Master's small courtyard in the palace that was on fire. After the tongue of fire raged, the place was full of ruins, and there were some corners with a "sizzling" sound.
The palace people reported sadly: "The national teacher ..... The national teacher is unfortunate, and there are no bones left. ”
Although I was mentally prepared, but when I heard this, I still felt that my feet were a little weak, but fortunately I was supported by the dark horse prince in time, I relieved my nerves and said to him: "You go to see your father." ”
The strength of his arm increased a little: "Father and my brother, but you only have me now."
That's a good point, I don't have the mountain of my master, and I'm more than an ant in the palace. It's just that the dark horse prince said that his father and the emperor still have a second prince. But this "have" is actually equivalent to nothing.
Because Master is His Majesty's spiritual pillar.
My master was a god operator found by His Majesty from the people, and His Majesty initially only used him to interpret dreams and ask for rain, but later everything depended on Master. Therefore, Master's departure hit His Majesty the hardest, and his health deteriorated, and then he was sick all day long. And I don't dare to say at all that Master took advantage of this fire to escape from the palace, which has bound him for many years.
As soon as I was about to leave, I heard the prince of the dark horse say in a very unfamiliar tone behind me: "On the second day when my father arranged the marriage for my second brother, you became a monk, and in fact, I didn't feel good in my heart." You've always been playful, and you've been a monk who has to refrain from doing everything for him, is it really worth it? Don't you regret it?"
I shook my head: "I don't regret it anyway. "Compared with being the little wife of the second prince, it is good to be a monk.
He continued to ask me, "Do you really want to be vulgar?"
I continued to shake my head: "Absolutely not.
Today's tone and expression of the dark horse prince really make me feel strange and awkward.
In the midst of anxiety, the wedding day of the second prince and the prime minister's daughter was ushered in, and I came to his wedding banquet as a former classmate of the second prince with anxiety. Ordinary people's wedding banquets are lively and messy, but the royal wedding banquet is orderly and shows the majesty of heaven everywhere. So, when I saw the other classmates who were there, I couldn't go over and have a good time.
His Majesty's health has deteriorated in the past two years, and I looked at him from afar and tried to see his son marry his daughter-in-law. In the meantime, he coughed rapidly, and the attendant hurriedly presented a pill to relieve it.
The prince of the dark horse was also anxious, and couldn't help whispering to me: Fortunately, there is your master's elixir, otherwise I would see my father...
I snorted, "Come on, eat the vegetables!" I know in my heart that some industry secrets are really not for outsiders, Master is just a god operator, but he is really not a pill pharmacist, those pills are just some special medicines for cough that I got from the imperial doctor.
The Dark Horse Prince tilted his head to look at me: "It's strange, your appetite is actually not bad today, shouldn't you be unable to eat at this time?"
It was at this time that the newly married second prince begged His Majesty for his life, euphemistically saying that he had mercy on me alone and wanted to take me back to the house to take care of me. I was so frightened that I hid in the Taoist temple and didn't dare to go out, until the prince of the dark horse dragged me into the palace.
The prince of the dark horse said in the carriage: "Don't you want to marry my royal brother, don't even think about it."
I sat aside and said hatefully, "Who thought!"
The prince of the dark horse looked out the window with his eyes and said in an unfriendly tone: "Then why are you so shy for so many days that you are hiding from people like a bride?
Who said I was shy, I was obviously scared!
I hesitated and said, "Why, what is it?" "I didn't even say the word 'scared' when he caused him to fall from his horse and was about to be killed, and I am embarrassed to say it now.
The prince of the dark horse tilted his head back and looked at me inexplicably: "You don't have to be shy, I have already shown my father, you have learned the ability of the national teacher." Father decided to let you fill the vacancy of the national teacher. ”
If Yutian wants to know that I haven't even learned my master's fur, is it really appropriate to fool Your Majesty rashly like this.
I was sad, and my face was sad: "Prince of the Dark Horse, what kind of grudge do you have with me?"
The expression of the dark horse prince was not the smug look that he had succeeded in teasing me when he was a child, but was a little heavier than me: "What's so good about other people's side concubines?
I retorted dissatisfiedly: "Not necessarily. ”
The Prince of Dark Horse took one look at me and ignored me again.
At first, I couldn't figure out why the prince of the dark horse was so enthusiastic to prevent me from marrying the second prince, but then I finally understood
In fact, he doesn't care whether I marry the second prince or not, he cares about his old son, that is, the body of His Majesty today.
I have to say that His Majesty is a good emperor, who has broken his heart for the country for so many years and contracted a labor disease.
In Master's words, this emperor is good at everything, but he is too superstitious.
Because my master is a god operator, he must be an immortal who will refine the elixir of immortality. His body is not good, and he doesn't know how much to rest so that the imperial doctor can take care of it, and he thinks about the master giving him alchemy all day long, and even thinks that the master is being modest when he says that he doesn't understand alchemy. The master felt that if he continued like this, he would eventually become the one who harmed His Majesty, so he faked his death and fled to find his side of the leisurely landscape.
These days, without the spiritual pillar of my master, His Majesty also refused to take medicine, so his body deteriorated. The Dark Horse Prince asked me to pretend that I had the true inheritance of my master, and I also made up a lie that when I was a monk and wandering, I was going to learn the art of alchemy.
I offered the elixir made by the imperial doctor to condition the body and presented it to my lips, and under the instruction of the prince of the dark horse, I lied solemnly: "Your Majesty's condolences, although the master is gone, there is still a poor way." Although the poor Dao does not have the ability of the ancestor god to calculate, the refining pill is slightly better than the master. ”
That elixir was painstakingly made by the Imperial Doctor, and it was naturally effective, and His Majesty naturally believed my nonsense.
His Majesty looked at me with a smile: "Ruohua, I saw you messing around in Shouyang Academy back then, where did I think that you still learned the skills of a national teacher."
I smiled weakly: "Your Majesty doesn't blame me for bringing the Third Prince badly, if it wasn't for the Master covering me, Your Majesty would have pulled out my scourge from the Three Princes a long time ago."
"I don't blame you. ”
"I don't blame you. ”
The voices of father and son rang out at the same time, and I was blinded at once.
The explanation given by the victory is that the homework of the dark horse prince is not obvious. The supplementary explanation given to me by the prince of the dark horse is also that he skips class and does not study well, although he is not as good as the second prince who studies hard, but he is playing and learning at the same time, which is enough to prove that his understanding is high.
The two of them did not dislike me on the basis of insulting my intellect, and I felt very sad.
Walking out of His Majesty's bedchamber, my face finally collapsed and I couldn't help but mutter. "It's okay to be insulted all the time, and now I have to take great risks to bully the king, my future is really bright. The shoulder was patted twice by the prince of the dark horse: You don't have to worry, with me covering you, there will be no chaos.
This sounds very familiar, as if when I was studying at Shouyang Academy, the prince of the dark horse also used this sentence to fool me.
The prince of the dark horse is the youngest son of His Majesty, even if he doesn't like to study, he is still the most liked by his son. His Majesty gave him a little black horse from the Western Regions. That little black horse is said to be a rare breed, and the county only has this one. When the dark horse prince rode the only little dark horse and showed off among the classmates of Shouyang Academy, except for the second prince, I and those sons and brothers were so envious that our eyes were about to fall. It was at that time that my gaze became longer and longer on the Dark Horse Prince. Occasionally, when I glanced at him, he actually showed a very strange look for some reason, similar to.... Blush?
Soon after, the prince of the dark horse said to me after school with an embarrassed expression: "If you like me, you will say it clearly, it is too strange to always secretly send autumn waves to me like this." ,
I looked at the sky: "Are you sleepy and not waking up talking in your sleep?"
The face of the dark horse prince instantly became darker than his little dark horse: "Are you shy? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, I know that if there is a woman in this palace, she will like me." ”
I immediately retorted, "No, I don't like it." ”
The prince of the dark horse didn't even think about it!" It's only because you're not a woman. ”
I felt hurt my pride, so I confronted him: "Then you prove that I'm not a woman." ”
The dark horse prince raised his eyebrows very pretentiously: "Then you first prove that you don't like me." ”
So I went to prove it... I can't hurt the prince of the dark horse in order to prove this problem, so I have to hurt his horse. I thought that I would prepare a medicine to make the horse fall asleep temporarily, but I really couldn't make it, but the medicine made the little black horse go crazy and threw off the dark horse prince.
At that moment, I regretted it from the bottom of my heart and worried, and immediately ran to the dark horse prince who fell down to admit my mistake. At that time, the prince of the dark horse endured the pain and patted my head generously and said, "Don't worry, I still have you covered." ”
As a result, I was kept in confinement by him for several days. To tell you the truth, I was very sad in those days. At the moment when he was thrown off his horse, this flashed through my mind
One thought: I don't want him to have an accident, I hope I can do it for him.
Looking back, I just feel that I was really kind and daring to do it.
His Majesty has already become ill from hard work, and since he gave up treatment before, it will be difficult for the imperial doctor to recover even if he bothers to recuperate. His Majesty fainted more and more often, and he had no intention of worrying about state affairs, so he handed it over to the favored youngest son of the Prince of the Dark Horse to take care of it temporarily.
As soon as His Majesty fell, I took my daily prayer ceremony very seriously, and His Majesty was still good to me after all. And I didn't have to be idle because I didn't have Your Majesty to ask questions all day long, and the future successor of the country, the Prince of Dark Horse, was also superstitious. I wondered, could it be that superstitious belief in gods and Buddhas was the occupational disease of every emperor?
"Ruhua, why are you smiling so distorted?" the Prince of the Dark Horse interrupted my conjecture without mercy.
Now this person has an unusual identity. I adjusted my expression and replied respectfully, "Poor Dao feels that his smile is not distorted at all. ”
"I've asked you to help me calculate my future, so what do you mean by laughing?"
Only then did I remember that my finger pinching fortune-telling gesture was still maintained, and I thought that I had just been too distracted. I continued to pinch my fingers mysteriously and began to break blindly.
Poor Dao just laughed, because he calculated that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has an unlimited future, and he will definitely reign in the world in the future. ”
The prince of the dark horse looked at me inscrutablely, and a thin smile rolled up at the corner of his mouth: "Then you can help me calculate something else, such as peach blossoms."
I smiled and said regretfully: "This poor way is difficult to obey, the poor way is not as good as the ability of the first teacher, so the poor way can only be counted as one hexagram a year." If Your Highness wants to know how his peach blossoms are, he will have to wait for next year. ”
The Prince of the Dark Horse waved his hand: "Then next year," I was just relieved when I heard him add, "You go and prepare for the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, I have already built the altar." ”
Prince of the Dark Horse, Prince of the Black Horse, you and I have known each other for so many years, how come it is the first time that I have found out that you will also die? In fact, the whole county and the country still have a little intention of the old majesty
See, this opinion comes from the fact that His Majesty is too superstitious and praises my master higher than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. However, this opinion is all read in the old majesty's diligent government for the country
I kept it on the top,
Now that the prince of the dark horse has not yet ascended the throne, let alone have no foundation, isn't it to provoke the anger of the people by holding superstitious activities in such a big way?
After all, I have been following Master for all these years, and I also know the mystery of this. In fact, with a little movement of your hands and feet, you can still turn the worship of heaven into an event to pray for Your Majesty's blessing.
According to common sense, this day should be presided over by the Son of Heaven, but His Majesty was seriously ill and let the Prince of the Dark Horse temporarily take charge of the government, so the Prince of the Dark Horse presided over the ceremony of worshipping the heavens on behalf of His Majesty.
The time of the sacrifice to the sky is set by the prince of the dark horse, and it is the clear air required by the sacrifice to the sky.
After the dark horse prince simply walked through the motions, it was time for me to go out. Dressed in a Taoist robe, I slowly stepped onto the high altar of the sacrifice, and halfway through, I just happened to meet the prince of the dark horse who came down. There was no one left and right, so I whispered to him: "It's not a good thing to deceive people, I'll withdraw after this last vote." ”
After he nodded in agreement, I almost couldn't hold back my dislike and lost the majesty of the national teacher.
Not long after I reached the altar, a cold wind suddenly blew, and I had a bad premonition while shivering.
Sure enough, before I could recite the spell, the black clouds overwhelmed the realm and the wind swept over.
What the hell did this dark horse prince do, why didn't he let Qin Tian supervise and calculate today's weather! If the weather is abnormal in such an event as worshipping the sky, it will make people feel that the presiding emperor is incompetent.
In this way, it seems that the throne of the dark horse prince is in jeopardy. I looked down the altar worriedly, a little skeptical that I was dazzled by the fact that the Black Horse Prince, who was sitting on a carved wooden chair, could actually smile. Today, he was dressed in a gorgeous dress, looking extraordinarily magnificent, his good-looking lips were moving, and the shape of his mouth was vague: Aren't you afraid of heights? After distinguishing clearly, I realized that my feet were weak, and I walked down the altar with my hands on the railing. Anyway, this festival is no longer possible because of the weather. The prince of the dark horse held me and smiled brightly: "The national teacher is careful." ”
