Chapter 1234: Pei Yuanhao's Gift
He didn't seem to have woken up yet, he looked back at him, there was still a little tenderness in his eyes, and Gonggong Yu leaned over and said: "The concubine has been waiting for her, someone came to greet you, the emperor tonight-"
Pei Yuanhao's eyes were slightly sober.
Come to think of it, he is going to Nangong Lizhu tonight, which he arranged before, usually those concubines Chengen will not come to ask, only Nangong Lizhu will let people come over to ask.
Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know. β
Father-in-law Yu nodded, still standing at the door.
Pei Yuanhao sat at the table, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose to sober himself up a little, then stood up, drank the last bit of tea in the tea bowl, and then waved his hand: "Get up." β
Father-in-law Yu hurriedly took a step back: "Yes." β
He walked out.
I stood there respectfully, from the time Father-in-law Yu came in to the time he spoke, I didn't dare to take a breath of air, only for fear of drawing out some extraneous branches, until I saw him step out of the threshold, I was relieved.
Looking back at Miaoyan, it seems that she is very sleepy, she went out all day today, she didn't take a nap, although she sat there silently at this time, but her eyelids drooped slightly, and her eyes became chaotic, I walked over, carried her to the edge of the bed to sit, let Su Su undress her, and went down, only me and Miaoyan were left in the room.
I wrung a hot handkerchief to wash her face and hands, washed myself a little, then took off my heavy coat, and was pulling a long gown from the hanger to put it on, when I heard a creak behind me.
A cold wind blew in, blowing the curtains that separated the center of the room from the inside and the outside.
I was startled, and when I looked back, I shuddered even more.
Pei Yuanhao was standing at the door!
Why did he come back again?!
I was astonished, and hurriedly put on my clothes, and he stood in the doorway, just looking at me, the curtains in the middle, fluttering, and I couldn't see the expression on his face at the moment.
At this moment, my voice changed.
"You-"
He didn't speak, just stared at me.
The cold wind kept pouring into the warm room from behind him, and in an instant, it almost blew all my fingertips cold, and I subconsciously tightened the shirt on my chest and stared at him.
The pale face, almost transparent in the candlelight, also wrote all the fear, the look of panic on the face.
I don't know how long it took, I finally felt a chill all over my body, and I couldn't help but tremble, and he looked at my whole body trembling, as if he suddenly woke up, and subconsciously took a step inside: "Light." β
I then took a step back.
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that there was something I had to give you a good word." β
"Clever words?"
"It's her birthday, and I have a gift for her. β
ββ¦β¦β
After speaking, he walked in by himself, took out a small box from his sleeve, put it on the table, and then looked at me again, at this time, the jade father-in-law outside the door was still waiting in the snow, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to urge, but there was still some anxious look in his eyes, I looked at them, looked at the box on the table, and then nodded: "Oh." β
He turned and walked out.
The door was closed again.
It's just that the cold wind that just poured in didn't seem to dissipate for a while, it was still raging in the room, and my limbs and five bodies were still a little stiff and couldn't move, and after a while, I finally had a little sense, and gently reached over and picked up the small box.
However, the size of a palm is not heavy, and it stands to reason that there should not be anything too amazing in it.
It's just -- it's hard to say.
I hesitated for a moment, but I opened the clasp on the box and slowly lifted the lid.
A delicate orchid gold buckle is placed safely in the box.
I was immediately stunned, this is-
This is the original orchid buckle!
Once, it was given to me when he was in Jiangnan, and it was always around my neck, but I was lost in the Red Leaf Temple, thinking that I could never find it back, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by the light cold who went to work in the Red Leaf Temple, and later ......
Later, he used this gold buckle as a silver coin to save my life.
But it also buried the cause of the disaster that was later found by Pei Yuanhao and finally dispersed.
After all, I don't want to embarrass myself, but I didn't expect that this orchid buckle appeared in my palm at the moment with a bystander's calm attitude, reflecting the candlelight in the box, flashing with dazzling golden light.
This button, as if it is often played with, is also very smooth and shiny.
Is this his birthday gift to Miaoyan?
If I'm not mistaken, he appeared in front of us as "Yuan Gongzi" at the beginning, and it was this orchid buckle that was given to Miaoyan, but at that time, Miaoyan suddenly cried and refused to bring it, so he gave up, but I didn't expect that he would actually stay until now, and at this time, he gave Miaoyan again.
Looking back at my daughter, who was sitting by the window, silent, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It's really going to pick the time, the wonderful words at this time, how is it, and I won't want to cry and refuse like I did at the beginning.
There is also a red thread in the box, which is made of thin red silk and worn on the orchid buckle, which is not big or small, just enough to carry on the girl's wrist. I carried the red thread and looked at the orchid buckle by the candlelight for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, turned around and walked to Miao Yan's side, raised her hand, and put it on her wrist.
Sure enough, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't refuse.
She just, didn't feel it at all.
But for some reason, my heart swelled with an indescribable sourness, even pain, and gently took her into my arms, and whispered softly: "Wonderful words, my daughter...... You get better soon, get better soon......"

The next day, it was a dimly cloudy day.
It started to snow in the middle of the night, and when I got up in the morning, I opened the window and saw that there was a thick layer of snow outside, reflecting the white glow on the windows.
I had a night of chaotic dreams, and when I got up in the morning, I was still a little chaotic, and I was eating with Miao Yan, when I saw Mama Wu walking in from outside, with a puzzled look on her face, as if she heard something that was worrying her. I asked, "Mama, what's wrong?"
She said: "Does the girl know, the emperor is in the morning today." β
"Oh?
Pei Yuanhao's time in the court is to seal ten times every month, which is relatively fixed, but he didn't go yesterday, obviously to avoid Chang Taishi and Nangong Jinhong, so the two adults will later go to the imperial study to "catch" him, today is not the day of the last dynasty, but he went to the court early.
I smiled and said, "Probably, what's the matter?"
"The girl is really right, just now Xiaofu - Fu Gonggong came over and said a few words, I heard that the emperor is going to discuss some major events today, and officials above the third grade will enter the palace, and even the big gentleman in Jixian Hall will send someone to pick up with a sedan chair early in the morning. β
"Oh?"
My heart couldn't help but tighten.
Fu Badai!
Pei Yuanhao really invited Fu Badai.
It seems that what I told him yesterday, he listened to all of it today, and the matter he wants to discuss in the court today is about the request of Chang Taishi and Nangong Jinhong, and the use of troops in Xichuan is correct.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get a little nervous.
This matter, to say big, is really big, in case Pei Yuanhao can't withstand the pressure of the courtiers, and really decides to use troops against Xichuan, this is almost a fateful decision for the entire Celestial Empire, at least now in my opinion, for him, from the perspective of the long-term interests of the imperial court, there is no better promotion.
On the contrary, once he starts a war with Xichuan, it is very likely that he will fall into a long-term delaying war.
What's even more terrifying is that if even the soldiers and horses of the steppe take advantage of this to go south.
I couldn't think about it.
At that time, the entire Central Plains will be implicated in the war, and in that case, no party will be spared, whether it is the imperial court or the locality!
Holding the porridge bowl in my hand, cold sweat broke out in my palm, and I almost couldn't even hold the bowl steadily, Mama Wu hurriedly came over and held my arm: "What's wrong with the girl?"
I put down the bowl and looked out, "What time is it now?"
"It's been started a long time ago, and if it's normal, it's time to disperse. β
"Oh?"
As she spoke, she also glanced out: "It seems that the emperor is really doing great things." β
ββ¦β¦β
I didn't speak for a while, I looked down and saw that there was less than half of the porridge left in the bowl, it was already a little cold, so I took a little bit of food, Xili snorted and ate it, and then wiped my mouth.
I asked, "Mama, how did you go out just now and see the queen's mother?"
"Mother, she seems to be still in the palace, and she hasn't moved. β
"Oh. Then I'll go. β
"Huh?"
In the past few days, because Chang Qing intentionally or unintentionally avoided it, and my "observation of words and feelings", I didn't go over to say goodbye, let alone disturb her, the two sides seemed to have suddenly broken off contact, although Kou'er and Xing'er still had the same attitude towards me, without the slightest alienation and indifference, and it was obvious that Chang Qing didn't let them cut off contact with me, and often sent some good things from the private room, but on my side, Mama Wu followed me a few years ago, and I saw it very clearly at this time.
She hesitated: "The girl is going to say hello to the queen?"
"I haven't been there for a few days, so it's time to go and see it. β
"Thisβ"
"Mama don't worry," I smiled faintly, "It's just a good fare, it's not a big deal." β
She thought about it, then beckoned Su Su to come over, and carefully told her a few times, Su Su also listened and agreed, I handed over the wonderful words to Mama Wu, and took Su Su out of the door.
Bypassing our courtyard and walking forward, we arrived at Chang Qing's residence.
Here, as always, it was quiet, and there was even a faint smell of medicine wafting in the air, and as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Chang Qing's voice talking from the hidden door.
