Chapter 493: The Cold Wind Blows
As soon as Liang Cheng was now quite leisurely, the two of them gradually became equally interested, and the two of them summed it up, and finally decided to send someone back to Xiaoyunxi.
In addition to bringing a few books that Liang Cheng often reads over here, Qingzhu and Nianxiang also instructed the little maids to bring their needles and threads in Xiaoyunyu.
In such a cold weather and warm room, if you don't do something, the sleepiness will surely come soon.
So Qingyu and Nianxiang decided to take the female red that had not been done in the past few days to the bank of Nanlan Creek to continue to finish, so as to kill time, after all, afternoon has always been the most lazy and leisurely time, and sleepiness is the most difficult to resist at this time.
Outside the house, the cold wind was blowing, and the sound of dead leaves falling to the ground was slight and ethereal.
In such a quiet afternoon, and then the faint light of the sky, Liang Cheng sat on the big kang near the window and flipped through the scrolls in her hand without a match, while Liang Yong had already fallen asleep beside her, and had a tryst with Zhou Gong early.
As for the green cocoon and Nian Xiang on the side, they are doing needlework and tracing patterns, and one by one they can fake the real peony words, and between the green cocoon and Nian Xiang's wrists, one after another appeared on the golden flower in the embroidery shed, which was beautiful and luxurious.
This is the pattern that Nian Xiang saw last time in Rongqin, and he liked it at first sight, and he didn't forget to ask for a pattern from Rongqin, so he had the current embroidery.
Originally, Qingzhu and Nianxiang planned to cut it into a large-sleeved skirt, but in the current weather, in the end, Qingzhu and the two of them combined, or planned to inlay soft gray feathers to make a cloak first, so at this time, the two of them were busy hurriedly completing the largest pair of embroidery, and then inlaid the gray feathers one by one, and showed the same dark pattern as the golden flower on the edge, this project is not ordinary.
So recently, Qingzhu and Nian Xiang are rushing to make this cloak whenever they have time, although Liang Cheng has said several times that he is not busy, but no one has listened to it.
This made Liang Cheng very helpless, and it was right for a while.
However, Liang Yuan's clothes, except for those that Shen directly customized to Shechun, the rest were all wrapped up by Qingzhu and Nian Xiang.
Although Liang Cheng was busy and chaotic at the beginning, she didn't put her mind on these little things, but when she gradually relaxed and had time, she had already been nourished by Qingqian and the others, and she no longer wore clothes made by others.
After all, Qingzhu and Nianxiang's female red and embroidery skills, even if they are in Jian'an, can be regarded as excellent, and their talent in this area, Liang Cheng really can't catch up.
It's like now, after Liang Cheng inadvertently glanced at the direction of Qingqi and them, she was unconsciously frightened by the action of the two people flying needles and threads.
This wrist is too flexible, right?
Liang Cheng was very smacked to see Qingqian and Nian Xiang threading the needle, but Qingzhu suddenly stopped at this time, Liang Cheng looked at her in surprise, and just wanted to ask what was wrong, but Qingqian suddenly pointed out the door to Liang Ming.
Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in understanding, and let Qingyu go out, I don't know which little maid came back, if it was outside Heshou Zhai.
Lowering her eyes, she picked up the quilt that was kicked open by Liang Yong again and helped him cover it, as soon as Liang Cheng looked up, she saw that Qingzhu had already lifted the curtain and came back, and also motioned her to go outside, Liang Cheng paused and also instructed Nian Xiang to guard Liang Yong a few words, and then got up from the kang.
"Miss, the ice goose is here, and she is asking to see Mrs. outside Nanlan River, and after hearing that Mrs. went to Heshou Zhai, she turned to see Miss again. Liang Cheng had just come out of the warm pavilion, and Qingqian replied to her.
"What does she want to see me? Liang Cheng asked with a frown.
"It seems that there is something going on on Aunt Han's side. Qingqi was a little hesitant, but in the end, she still conveyed Bingyan's words to Liang Yuan.
But she didn't hear what Qingzhu said clearly, as soon as she heard the words "Aunt Xiao Han", Liang Ming's eyebrows were already frowning.
"What's the matter with her, just go to her father and ........." Liang Cheng was a little bored and just wanted to ask Qingqian to send Bingyan to her father, but the words had already reached her lips, but she just remembered that her father was still in Heshouzhai at this time, and was being scolded by her grandfather?
And it is precisely because of this that the mother will rush to Heshouzhai, and it is estimated that Bingyan will not be able to turn around and ask to see her, the third lady who doesn't care about anything, but-"What about the Jinghai steward? Let her go directly to the front yard to find the Jinghai steward." ”
Anyway, in a word, if she can, then Liang Cheng doesn't want to have anything to do with the people of Yuexiuwu at all, she can push her, and if she can't, push hard.
In the final analysis, Liang Cheng hates everything in Yuexiuwu.
"But, miss, why don't you meet the ice geese? ”
And when Liang Cheng waved her hand and was about to turn around and go back to the pavilion directly, Qingyu unexpectedly suddenly stopped her.
At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.
And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.
……
……
During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.
At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.
As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.
Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.
Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.
In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.
It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.
And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.
Emperor Wen died, Emperor Huai ascended the throne, and compared with Emperor Wen's name of Mingjun, Emperor Huai's cruelty and mediocrity are even more ugly.
All those who had offended him were dismissed from office and sentenced to prison within a month, and none of them were spared.
Among them, although the worst cannot be regarded as the Liang family, after Liang Sixuan was convicted of capital crime and imprisoned, and the Shen family was also convicted of insulting Emperor Huai and Shen Yunchong's secret troublemakers, Liang Sixuan used the last strength of the Liang family to save their lives, and she knew everything.
And speaking of this, we can't help but talk about the King of England, Liang Cheng's appearance at this time is not very good, that is the King of England! He is one of the only three kings with different surnames in Xiyin today, although the power is not comparable to that of King Li, but the King of England is also the overlord of the defense line of the Xiyin Sea with 50,000 sea divisions in his hands, and he has blocked countless invasions of the sea invaders throughout the year for Xiyin, and he is the greatest contributor to the preservation of peace in the western territory.
Such a hero, no matter who it is, will not ignore it and cannot ignore it, Liang Cheng is naturally the same, but she looked at Zhong Qing in front of her, but she began to worry about her a little, after all, the daughter of the king, that is, the girl who is now being surrounded in the center of the field, almost became Qi Xuan's wife.
The British prince has a lot of heirs, but what he loves the most is his youngest daughter Tang Menglan, and Tang Menglan, as the daughter of the British king, is already the proud daughter of the sky, not to mention that she has been loved by the British king, and her personality has been raised a little rough since she was a child.
But anything that Tang Menglan likes and wants, whether it is a person or a thing, there is almost nothing that cannot be obtained.
And it is such a proud daughter of heaven who wants to be windy and rainy, and her personality is still a little rude, but in front of Emperor Wen and even Concubine Meng, she is quite loved, and her Chinese emperor will put it aside, after all, there are too many things to consider in the emperor's heart, in terms of the importance of the British king to the Xiyin Sea Realm, that Emperor Wen's love for Tang Menglan is only because of the British king.
But Concubine Meng is different.
In addition to Chu Gu and Liang Cheng, the juniors who can get into the eyes of Concubine Meng, now Liang Cheng only knows a Princess Changping and a Qi Jue, and the rest is only Tang Menglan, the youngest daughter of the British King.
After all, if Tang Menglan is really as the outside world says, she is just a proud girl with a noble status and a brutal personality, then how can she be favored by Concubine Meng and her old man? How can she make Concubine De and her old man have the idea of marrying Qi Ling and Tang Menglan?
Although in the end, Tang Menglan almost made Jian'an into trouble because of the words of the third princess Yang, and her relationship with Qi Ling failed to take shape in the end, but it only made Concubine Meng have such an idea, which can show that Tang Menglan is not what outsiders say at all.
It's just that Liang Cheng is very jealous of her, but the person who is even more jealous of her is Zhong Qing.
"Back then, the third princess said, 'This woman is a little rude', so that Tang Menglan, who had already nodded and agreed to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Qi Xuan, made Jian'an a storm overnight, not only ran to His Majesty to cry, but also 'coincidentally' met Princess Li, who has always been good friends with Princess Ying, in Xiaoyu Temple, and was so aggrieved that she cried bitterly on the spot, and then went into the palace with her mother, Princess Ying, to ask for peace to Concubine Feng, and she also cried in the palace of Concubine Feng......... It's just a short day, and the entire Jian'an is rumored that the third princess doesn't like Tang Menglan, and even bullies her as a mother-in-law, and finally makes Feng Guifei find a reason to have a seizure, and even Concubine Hui has been snubbed by Emperor Wen for a long time, and the third princess has not even taken another step out of the palace gate for a long time. ”
Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing, who was silent, and continued: "After that, if it weren't for the sudden swarming of the Haikou from the west, which caused the war in the sea to break out, Princess Ying and Tang Menglan would not have hurried back to the King of England, and the matter back then might not have been so simple to settle down." ”
This matter was something that even Liang Cheng, who was at the gate of the Liang family at that time, had heard of it, let alone Zhong Qing.
Compared with Liang Cheng, she was even fortunate to witness Tang Menglan's unscrupulousness even in front of the third princess Yang, in front of the third princess who made her feel so stressed in Zhong Qing's opinion, Tang Menglan could actually be so unscrupulous.
The scene at that time, even now, Zhong Qing still remembers it clearly.
Maybe Tang Menglan is the only person who can still make concessions like the Third Prince Princess Yang since Liang Cheng and Princess Changping, but no matter whether Liang Cheng or Princess Changping, they will not be able to tear their faces directly and completely like Tang Menglan and the Third Princess Yang.
Let's not mention that there is Emperor Wen behind Princess Changping, it is impossible for her to ignore Emperor Wen's face, even Liang Cheng has the entire Liang family behind her, even if she doesn't like the three princesses of the Yang family, it is also impossible for her to act like Tang Menglan.
In this way, in fact, Tang Menglan is an outlier in Jian'an.
In today's Jian'an, there will be no one who can be as noble as Tang Menglan, and his father is also a general who guards one side, so he has not been trapped in the intricate power network of Jian'an.
No one has anything to do with the British Crown.
