46. Doubts
Wei Huan's news was really well-informed, and when he got up early the next morning, he heard from the palace people that his mother had a temporary intention to set up a banquet in the Liubei Pavilion, saying that he would summon everyone to ride and shoot and sing poems since the afternoon, and told me not to go out. When I saw that the messenger was sent to the court, I knew that besides me, I would have to go out of the palace to deliver the decree, so I asked him, "Who else is there besides Rokuro and me?" Is it the ministers who are also coming, or are they just their own relatives?"
The man smiled and said: "The villain only knows King Ji, King Xu, King Ze, King Ying, and King Xuancheng here. ”
I listened to the fact that it was all relatives, and I was not sure if my mother had summoned others, so I asked more: "Mother is in the main hall now, and I will go to see her." ”
As soon as he said this, Wei Huan glanced at me, I saw it, and when I sent the person away, I asked her, "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan said: "You just like this to explore His Majesty's Xingzang?"
I was stunned and said, "If not, what else?"
Wei Huan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I thought it wouldn't be good, but you are a princess, not a prince, and there is nothing taboo." ”
I thought about it for a while, only to know what she said, I just wanted to laugh and say, "I've always been like this, A-Niang won't blame me", thinking that my mother was the famous Wu Zetian in history, I couldn't laugh at all, and paused and said: "I will pay attention in the future." ”
Wei Huan said: "I'm just saying it in vain, you don't have to be too deliberate..."She looked up and looked around, and said in a low and quick voice: "You grew up beside Your Majesty, and your temperament and demeanor are well known to Your Majesty, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
I knew what she meant, smiled bitterly, and was just about to say, "So, I want to thank Song Foyou", my heart moved, and I smiled deliberately: "How many benefits have you received from Song Foyou, and no one is in front of you, and you still want to help her talk like this?"
Wei Huan suddenly became angry, glared at me and said, "If you really regard me as a friend, don't test me with these words as soon as possible, if you only treat me as a subordinate, then I don't have to bother your friend's heart for you." ”
I hurriedly laughed and said, "It's my fault, I wanted to joke with you, but who knows that you are really annoyed, I can't stand you." ”
Wei Huan said with a cold face: "For no reason, why do you want to make such a joke? Yes, you see that I usually win over the people below you, and I don't hide my likes and dislikes in front of you, so I think I pay attention to you? If I had a heart, I would have done many things from you, but I told you everything, it was because I believed in your words and regarded you as a friend, who knew that I had such a heart, but you provoked my bad intentions, and I was stupid, and I really thought that you were different from them. ”
I saw that her face turned white, and quickly got up and said: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't pick you with words, I won't do it again in the future, please forgive me once, okay?" Because I never thought that she would treat me with such a heart, but I still only treat her as an ordinary playmate, I can't help but be ashamed and ashamed, walked to her side, wanted to hold her sleeve, who knew that she was so angry that she threw me off and walked all the way out by herself, I went to pull her again, didn't pull it, simply ran to the door, stopped it with both hands, and didn't open my mouth to keep it, I saw Wei Huan raise his eyebrows and said: " Princess, will you let me go out like this?"
I didn't dare to answer this, I wanted to walk away immediately, as if I recognized her words, my eyes rolled, I ran to the side, took the clothes that the palace people hung aside, and said with a smile: "It's very cold outside, you have to go out and wear more clothes." ”
Wei Huan's momentum was not weak, I saw that this road was passable, so I consciously put on her clothes, took the stove and umbrella, and even turned out a pair of her leather boots, carried them to the door, and said with a smile: "The road is slippery, it's better to wear boots." Seeing that there was no more anger on her face, Fang Shun asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Wei Huan raised his eyelids and glanced at me, and said, "I'll go to the soup." ”
I was thinking about the poem in the afternoon, and I wanted to ask her for advice, but I didn't dare to say it explicitly, so I smiled and said, "I'll go too." ”
Wei Huan's face was a little pale, but at this time he raised his eyebrows again, and said, "You are not going to meet His Majesty, what are you doing to make trouble with me again?"
As soon as she told me, I remembered that there was still such a thing, so I had to send her out of the door, and at the same time call someone to dress me and call for a chariot, and ride all the way to the main hall.
My mother always came to the temple at sunrise and rested until noon. Therefore, although it was in the palace at this time, there were many courtiers waiting to be summoned at the entrance of the main hall, and it was really cold today, so my mother asked people to open a few tents, set up stoves and hot tea, and ordered them to wait inside.
When I saw a foreign minister, I called the nearest eunuch in Tsing Yi and ordered him to spread the word. The eunuch answered, and said, "Your Majesty is seeing someone, maybe it will take a while, the princess might as well go and wait in the tent." ”
I hesitated for a moment, then got off the chariot and followed him into a tent on the side, I thought that this place was remote, there should be no one, who knew that as soon as I entered, I saw Xu Jingzong, Fang Yize, and Wei Shuxuan all sitting around the stove, and a few young officials were copying on the side - it turned out that it was a few ministers who moved the political hall here.
When several ministers saw me, they were quite embarrassed, and I felt uncomfortable, secretly blaming the eunuch for being ignorant, and fearing that several ministers would salute me according to their grades, so they hurriedly saluted them first: "Master Xu, Master Wei, and Fang Xianggong." ”
Xu Jingzong showed a smile on his face, coughed, and nodded to me, "Princess Changle." ”
I just had nothing to say, just came in and it was not good to quit, seeing that he was sick, he hurriedly greeted me a few words, Xu Jingzong smiled and greeted me without a match, Fang Yu only drank tea by himself, Wei Shuxuan waited for us to say a few words, his face showed impatience, I have been looking at the faces of these people, seeing him flick his sleeves, he arched his hand to me, and said first: "I passed by here, and saw two masters here, so I came to greet them, if the masters are fine, I will leave first." He hurriedly withdrew, and turned to rebuke the eunuch who had brought me in, but saw that there was no one where he was standing.
My heart jumped, and I glanced at the eunuchs who were deacons here one by one, and called a man in red to come and say, "Who is standing here just now?"
The man glanced at me cautiously and said softly, "There are no deacons here. ”
My heart jumped, and I turned my head to look at the eunuchs in front of the palace, and sure enough, I saw that they were all waiting on the steps, and no one came down to this side. I looked at the faces of those people one by one, but I didn't recognize anyone at all - there were a lot of eunuchs in front of the emperor, and the people in Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Zhuxing Palace were different, and the eunuch kept his head down, and I didn't pay attention, I only knew that he was wearing green clothes, and I didn't know anything else.
Although it was cold, my sweat came out at once, and I pursed my lips and said to the red-clothed man: "Call all the people in front of the palace, and I will ask again." ”
The man in red hesitated for a moment before answering, and when he turned to leave, I stopped him again: "No need. "Although the eunuch is said to be the slave of the Son of Heaven, he may not be the slave of the Son of Heaven, I interrogated in front of so many courtiers, one is not properly handled, it is inevitable to cause discussion, and if that person is unintentional, he does not have to care, if he is intentional, he is careful, but I am afraid that I can't care, it is better not to be alarmed.
Accidentally breaking into the political hall is not a big deal, but a few ministers are dissatisfied, at most they just mutter a few words in front of their father, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to ask a few house slaves in front of a few ministers, so it just seems that I am a little arrogant. However, if I think about it carefully, a common sentence of asking where my mother is can make Wei Huan hesitate, if I really interrogate the imperial eunuchs in front of the prime ministers without suspicion, and someone will tell my father and mother about this matter, it will be difficult to ensure that I will not be reprimanded.
But then again, no matter how big this matter is, in the end, what I get, at most, is just a few reprimands, with the father's doting on his children, and my current age, this matter is really big, I just have to be coquettish, soft, there will be no substantial loss at all, if someone really takes a big effort, take a big risk to ask someone to calculate me in front of the emperor, but the purpose is just to let me be scolded by my father a few words, at most cut some closure (maybe in a few days to add back), what is the pain?
