Chapter 142: Feeling Troubled
And Rakuin
Tang Li lay on the bed tossing and turning, he told himself over and over again that it was impossible, she had no reason to do that, but her brain couldn't help but replay her reaction at that time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the news came back, it was difficult to sit still, and after the news came back, it was complicated, and there was that sentence: The colt is also dead? How could it be! He didn't think about it before, but now the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
It's like a gap has opened in the brain, and all kinds of things that have not been noticed before are drilled into the brain. Tang Li couldn't suppress the boredom in his heart, a donkey rolled and sat up directly from the bed, pacing to the windowsill.
The autumn breeze outside the window swept the fallen leaves, and the fallen leaves helplessly stopped and walked with the wind.
He looked at the falling leaves and remembered when he was a child, when his father had not died and was still the Tang Xiucai who was admired and loved by the villagers, or the strict father who would punish him for not being able to write well and not allow him to eat.
I remember that every time he was punished, my brother would secretly leave his share to him. Afterwards, he also taught him literacy and taught him to read.
When he was a child, he was not as smart as his elder brother, and he couldn't remember many things after learning them several times, and his father decided that he would not be successful, and wanted him to learn to settle accounts with the shopkeeper Lu in the town, and become an accountant in the future. It was the elder brother who knelt down and begged his father and promised to teach him to study well. He was able to be admitted to the Jinshi, thanks to more than half of his brother's contributions.
After his father's death, it was also his brother who supported the whole family, and those relatives who took advantage of the fire to rob, and those squires who watched people cook all wanted to rob more than 100 acres of land left by his father when he was alive.
The elder brother vigorously bought it to a classmate who had relatives as officials, and then took them to the capital and rented a yard on the outskirts of Beijing.
At that time, they did not have a good time, although they had the money from the sale of the fields and the savings left by their father. But you have to settle down again to go to school and have the opportunity to participate in scientific examinations, and settling down is not so simple.
My brother, who was only 11 years old, didn't know how many times he begged for help before he left the household.
Later, a widow in the village pestered his mother, causing his mother to want to die, and it was his brother who freed his mother.
In order to reassure his mother and make others dare not mess around, his brother studied hard day and night and took the Xiucai exam at the age of thirteen.
I thought that after my brother took the Xiucai exam, his life would get better and better, but he didn't expect that the village chief would force him to get married, saying that if he didn't marry his granddaughter, he wouldn't let his brother continue the scientific examination.
The period of time after the elder brother's refusal was also not easy, the whole village squeezed them out, and the widow saw that their family had offended the village chief, and his bad heart rose again, if it wasn't for the elder brother and his desperate efforts, he was driven away. My mother's reputation was ruined, and they couldn't do the scientific examination.
It wasn't until the elder brother became a colt that their lives were a little better, and no one dared to embarrass them.
Thinking of this, Tang Li looked up at the sky and sighed, hoping that everything was his delusion.
When Tang Li sighed, the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Hall was also sighing.
He offended his sister miserably today, but this can't be done, not only because of the queen's intercession, but also because of Yu Qingcang, he also made a lot of efforts to help himself ascend the throne back then, and Wenchen's side relied on him to stabilize it. This is his only son, and he can still let his sister beat people to death?
"Your Majesty, the banquet in the Xianghe Hall has dispersed, do you want to take a break?" said Gonggong Gui softly.
The emperor shook his head, "I haven't read the papers of the scientific expedition, and I haven't read the recitals presented by the center." ”
Hearing this, Gonggong Gui gently stepped aside.
Half an hour later, the chamberlain Xiao Tanzi whispered a few words to Gonggong Gui softly, and Gonggong Gui gently paced to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother ordered someone to send you a sweet soup that nourishes in autumn." ”
The emperor paused when he heard this, thought of his sister's red eyes, and waved his hand, "Return the soup, say that I have rested, and tell her that I have ordered someone to release her." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to watch the folds, and Gonggong Gui took the order and retreated gently.
Kunning Palace, the queen was served by the palace maid's red shirt, half-snuggling on the couch and drinking sweet soup, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
She finally raised her eyebrows today, thinking of Fuhui's fiery eyes, she was as happy as if she had pulled the favored Yu Beauty off the horse a few years ago.
After drinking a few more sips of sweet soup, he waved his hand, and the red shirt handed the sweet soup to the little palace maid beside him, and the little palace maid withdrew with the sweet soup.
The queen sat up slowly, "Has Qingyu returned?"
Redshirt shook his head, "I think it's going to be soon." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyu strode in, she looked at Qingyu happily, and when she saw the food box in her hand, she was slightly stunned, isn't this going to be sent to the emperor? Why did you bring it back?
The queen also noticed the food box, and her face immediately sank, what does the emperor mean by this?
Qingyu saluted tremblingly, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, Gonggong Gui is here." ”
The queen took her eyes off the food box and turned to Qingyu's face, "What is he doing here?"
Qingyu shook her head.
"Then let him in. The queen said lightly.
After a while, Gonggong Gui walked in with a smile on his face, and he first saluted the queen meticulously, "See the queen's mother, Niangniang Chitose." ”
"Alright, let's get up. The queen raised her hand.
Gonggong Gui stood up, and then bowed down again and said: "Yu Niangniang, the emperor has already rested, so I won't drink the sweet soup, but before the rest, the emperor has already asked people to let Yu Shizi go, please rest assured." ”
The queen's face changed again, did she make another wrong move? They were discussing calligraphy and painting in harmony, and when it came to the rise, he asked her to make a painting.
It was she who saw that he still had some feelings for her, and then she couldn't help crying that her brother had worked hard in recent years, so he neglected to discipline his son, and now he was even more hard to be sent to the Northern Desert to escort General Yuan, and his nephew was robbed of things when he was young, so he was too angry to start with it.
Did she exhaust the last bit of warmth? Why couldn't she hold back at that time? Even if there was no plea from her, when her brother returned, he would still have a way to release his nephew from the criminal department, and maybe he would be able to restore his current image of being a bully. can also make the emperor feel ashamed of his loyalty to her brother.
What should she do now?
"Queen Mother, the emperor is still waiting for the servant to serve, and the slave will retire first. Gonggong Gui said and saluted again, and then slowly withdrew.
After Gonggong Gui left, the queen directly dropped the food box.
"Niangniang, don't be angry, I think those minions deceived the superiors and subordinates, and didn't convey the mother's painstaking efforts. Didn't the emperor say that he would come over tonight? Then you can have a good chat with the emperor. The red shirt whispered with relief.
"He's not coming. "The queen has a weak voice.
I have to say that the queen still knows the emperor very well, and he really has no plans to go to Kunning Palace to see the queen again.
He moved his neck and asked, "Has the queen mother eaten?"
Father-in-law Gui gently leaned over, helped him massage his neck, and said, "The Queen Mother has passed the word, so that you don't have to go over, rest more." ”
"Is my brother still with the queen mother?" the emperor then asked.
"Prince An and the two side concubines have already returned to the house, and it is the princes and princesses who remain in the palace of the Queen Mother. Grandpa Gui replied.
The emperor nodded his head and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
