Chapter 18: What is the Joy of Life and What is the Pain of Death (1)
The sky was faintly bright, and the trees beside the path were covered with a layer of mist, as if a layer of transparent wax oil had been added. Yuwen Yanshu stepped on the cold of the ground and slowly walked into the astral. The dumb concubine is actually her mother's personal maid? Concubine Shen actually wants Ling'er to go with her?
Is she stupid? She's not stupid. Would she believe the words of someone she had never met? Would she dare to accept someone who would come out of nowhere?
To sum up, Yuwen Yanshu verbally agreed to Concubine Shen, and then found an excuse to show that it was inconvenient for him now, and he would come to pick up Ling'er when the time was ripe. Thinking of Concubine Shen's astonishment when she heard this, she didn't expect that such a young girl would be so cautious and couldn't react for a while.
"Miss Yuwen, ・・・・・・ are you" Cai Qin looked at the little man who was leisurely pacing in from outside the courtyard in surprise, and asked the difference.
Yuwen Yanshu raised his head and glanced at Cai Qin, who was full of surprise and doubt, and his heart jumped violently, strong and calm, with an innocent and lovely appearance: "I thought I couldn't sleep and got up early, so I went out for a walk, sister, what are you going to do?"
Behind Cai Qin stood a row of four palace maids dressed as maids, each holding a three-inch tall cyan thin-necked porcelain vase with irregular cracked stripes on the bottle, and the porcelain vase seemed to be spliced together with pieces of broken porcelain.
"The princess likes to make tea with flower dew, so the slaves and maidservants get up early in the morning to collect dew. Cai Qin replied respectfully.
Yuwen Yan soothed his belly, the name Cai Qin didn't come from here. But he said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect your master to be very picky, since this is the case, by the way, help me pick a jar of leaf dew, I just need the dew on the lotus leaves." ”
Yuwen Yanshu blinked, smiled mischievously at Cai Qin, and jumped into the astral garden.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Sister Yongchang-. ”
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman standing in the hallway teasing a crested wren, wearing only a pale yellow middle coat and a pink cape. Three thousand green silk poured like a waterfall, and the eyebrows were picturesque and showed a lazy charm, like a noble and reserved Persian cat. I can't help but be amazed by Yuwen Yanshu, and the originally somewhat gloomy morning light has also become bright because of her storage.
Yang looked at the children who were jumping in from outside the door, there was a surging smile in his clear big eyes, and a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes: "Sister Yuwen, where did you go so early in the morning?"
Yuwen Yanshu said what he had just said to Cai Qin, and the second time was much smoother than the first time.
"Sister, I went to bed early last night, when did you come back?" Yuwen Yanshu asked innocently, in fact, she was worried that Yang would come back too early, and if she found out that she was not in Ziyuan, she didn't know how to lie.
"It's probably early in the morning. Yang took away the light in his eyes, turned to the wren on the gold shelf, and said seemingly casually, "Because it's too late, I'll rest there."
Yuwen Yanshu was stunned, what a bold man, the tryst with his imperial brother, not only did not hide it, but also told others so grandiosely, so that her, who has experienced the concept of open women in the 21st century, can't help but be stunned, and I don't know what the people in this palace think. Oh, if you think about it, the second prince must be a person who ignores etiquette, and this kind of thing can't be slapped in the face. But Yang Zhen is her younger brother, and her younger brother has won the attention of General Dingyuan, but she ran out to entangle with the second child, what does she want?
And Yang was thinking, this girl seemed to be as transparent and harmless as crystal, but her speech and demeanor on the night of the palace banquet were not at all like a child who grew up outside the palace. It stands to reason that Dugu Rong's early death didn't have time to teach her any etiquette scales, and etiquette and demeanor can be made up in time, but it is unpredictable between words, a ten-year-old child takes so many hearts. It's still Yuwenyi who has already calculated it, and let this little girl come to the palace to explore the way.
For a while, the two of them had their own ghosts, and the air suddenly entered a state of silence.
"The second prince invited my sister to watch a play in his newly built garden this morning, let me come back and ask my sister, can you enjoy a face?" Yang smiled and broke the silence.
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, just go to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I haven't seen the princes when I come back? Yuwen Yanshu said with a smile, but the afterglow of his eyes fell on Yang's gorgeous face.
Yang also smiled, and it happened that the maids came over with water, and she said as she walked into the house: "If you want to talk about dragons and phoenixes among people, I think Yuwen Gongzi is gentle and elegant, and he is as beautiful as jade, I don't know how many girls he can charm?"
"Oh, that sister also has a crush on my brother?"
"Don't dare to be, my sister is afraid that she will not have this blessing, and she will not tarnish the handsome among the people. ”
"Hehe, if even my sister thinks that she is not blessed, then no one in the world will be blessed, I will let him be a bachelor for the rest of his life. ”
・・・・・・・・・・・
Time slipped by in their seemingly homely words, but in fact they were hiding needles in the true and false words.
In a flash, I saw that Yang was the queen's left and right hand, in charge of some trivial things in the palace. It sounds good to share the queen's worries, but in fact, it disperses the power in the queen's hands. Looking at the queen's restrained and domineering momentum, holding the power of life and death in the harem, it is not enough to scatter the power in her hands to a motherless and powerless princess, what kind of deal has been reached between these two.
Some fathers-in-law who looked at some ranks, the palace maids came and went, and through a pair of deep-sea pearl curtains, Cai Qin and Shen Bi, another big palace maid beside Yang, were busy dressing up for Yang. Originally, Yuwen Yanshu planned to stay there for a while to see the style of the people in the palace, but Yang assigned two girls to come and freshen up with her, even if Yanshu was a little reluctant in his heart, he still had to go back to his room.
The two little girls didn't know if they weren't taken seriously, or if their mouths were too tight, no matter what they were, they all shook their heads. I don't know what to ask, and after a few questions, Yan Shu is just lucky. I took a butterfly wing from the dresser box, shook it gently, the thin four wings trembled gently, making people feel love, and more ingeniously, the craftsman made the bell the size of a grain of rice, embellished on the wings, and the slight bell sound when it moved, crisp but not harsh, and more tactful and delicate.
Yuwen Yanshu's heart moved, and he raised it and asked, "What is this hairpin, and who owns it?"
"Back to Miss Yuwen's words, this hairpin is called Linglong Butterfly Love Hairpin, it was originally an ornament of my princess, and later it was given to Miss Dugu, Miss Dugu stays in this room every time she comes, maybe she landed here?" a little girl replied neatly.
Yuwen Yanshu nodded silently, shook it tightly, then let it go, and then let it go, and then let it loosen it tightly, and repeated it several times before he slowly exhaled and said: "No wonder Sister Dugu said that the hairpin is gone two days ago, it turned out to be here, I will transfer it to her for you." ”
The little girl didn't dare to stop it, so she let this guy with thick walls make up a reason to take it away without blushing or panting.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
First go to Fengyi Hall to say goodbye, express your father's feelings, and let the queen go home. Then he and Yang took a sedan chair carried by six people to the palace gate, changed into a light carriage and drove straight to the second prince's mansion.
Xu didn't have a good rest last night, and at this moment, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep together.
The Shu Palace, which is some distance away from the palace, can just hear the sound of people on the street when sitting in the car. Through the dense bead curtain, I saw the street full of traffic, bustling with people coming and going. Suddenly, I felt that the day and two nights in the palace were very unreal, and a big dream was like Alice sleepwalking.
"Ah-sneeze-" A burst of fragrance came, Yuwen Yanshu itched his nostrils, and a sneeze rushed out, and the person suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Yang closed his eyes and said directly, "Sister, you have a cold?"
Yuwen Yanshu rubbed his nose and said sullenly: "Probably, maybe it's just a little cold." ”
"Although my sister is young, she still has to maintain her in the day, her daughter's body is delicate, and the cold wind and cold dew in the capital don't fall into the root of the disease. Yang said lightly.
Yuwen Yan was stunned, thinking of last night's incident, and for a while she was not sure if she meant something, and it was not acceptable to accept it, nor was it not to accept it. Just as he was about to make a fuss, there was a noise outside the car, and there seemed to be an argument between a man and a woman.
"Princess, there seems to be someone making trouble ahead, and the crowd is blocking the intersection and can't get through. The coachman whispered through the curtain.
Yang frowned impatiently: "Do you want this palace to teach you such a trivial matter, what is the use of you?"
"Yes, little one understands. The coachman only obeyed.
Then I heard the loud shout of the coachman: "Princess Yongchang has arrived, and the idle people are all out of the way." With a wave of the whip, the whip cracked violently, and the horse neighed, and the street fell silent, except for the sound of the horse's hooves and the friction of the wheels on the ground.
Yuwen Yanshu originally thought that Yongchang would let people resolve and mediate the disputes outside. But looking at Yang who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, he didn't seem to have this intention, he only felt surprised, did he not care about this kind of thing as a royal person, novels, TV didn't say so, the princess or prince who went out happened to encounter a civil dispute, so he waved his hand and said a few words to resolve it. Not only can a war be invisible, but it can also make it famous for a hundred years. In the past, when Yuwen Yanshu was still Shi Yizhen, he once regarded this method as a show for ancient dignitaries, and its intention was not much different from that of modern celebrities participating in public welfare activities.
The horse's hooves "answered", and the car walked over as if no one was around. Yuwen Yan Shu glanced out of the car, and the group of noisy people gathered at the door of a money bank called "Tongtai Money Village", all of them were silent, but the hand holding each other's clothes had not yet been put down.
The man who was being held had a blue nose and swollen face, and the bright red liquid on his forehead dripped down his sunken cheeks to the ground, and there was a half-old lady next to him holding him, her eyes were red, and she was still sobbing, but there was no sound, as if she was watching a pantomime, which was very weird.
The retracted gaze was skipped from a person who was too familiar to be familiar with him, and Yan Shu was puzzled: Brother, what are you doing in Qianzhuang?
