104. The spring of the book balance
The wide but crowded streets, the hurried and indifferent pedestrians, the burgundy but dirty glow, the vast but dirty air. Long hair that flutters easily and freely, not necessarily intentional but guaranteed to be harmless health supplements. A boring but normal sunset twilight off-duty moment. From the white hip-wrapping skirt, the two long legs of my most confident and favorite are exposed, and I walk swaying, feeling like a noble swan. And then—casually looking up, dumbfounded, rushing, stretching outstretched—the force of the impact was as great as a meteorite hitting the earth, and there was darkness in front of you.
"Ahh ”
The sound of rustling outdoors sounded immediately, and the peach took off the oil-paper cloth embroidered bamboo lampshade, lit the red candle, and the dates and tangerines followed closely to him, holding a hot towel and handkerchief, and boiling white water.
"Nightmares? Wash your face. Miju gently rubbed the soaked handkerchief on Shuheng's face: "There is no taboo to wipe your face, Miss told us to listen?" If you say that, you won't be afraid. ”
Shuheng was a little hysterical, and Tangerine handed the water to her lips again, and Shuheng took two sips of pain, and his eyes regained some light.
"Miss, what did you dream about?" Miju put a thin jacket on Shuheng: "You shouldn't watch the "Zhiwei Lu" during the day, the ghosts, gods, demons, spirits and spirits are weird, and it's easy to think crankily after watching it." ”
"What time has it been?"
"It's just past the hour."
Seeing that the dates had already gone to collect the book on the table, Shu Heng hurriedly stopped her: "No, don't do weird things." I just fell asleep and suddenly felt that my body was empty and smashed. Not too tight. ”
Seeing that the honey was brewing soul-calming tea again, Shuheng touched his forehead and lay down: "Don't toss, go to sleep by yourself." I'll just be quiet on my own. He glanced at the peach who was looking out of the door again: "Don't report to Ronghua Hall, it's a big night, and the tossing grandfather and wife are not happy." What a big deal. ”
The four honeys looked at each other, and when they saw that Shuheng had already laid down, they closed their eyes, so they had to wipe her forehead again, cover the quilt and retreat silently.
Shuheng turned over irritably, burying his head in the rose-scented satin quilt. I have to admit that what Liu Yang said that day made her mind very much. What are you worried about? And what is it destined for? Why did you go out of your way to remind her? ——
This kind of irritability is like when spring is not coming, and everything is waiting for the first spring thunder in anxiety.
Then, the spring of Shuheng arrived. The spring thunder rang.
Three days later, the Ministry of Rites suddenly passed the emperor's decree, "Lord Rongyi, Yuan's Shuheng, Wen Shuxianhe, Lanxiang Guilu, Gongyi Yifan, and Meixing Rende——"
A large string of four-character idioms made Shu Heng dizzy, just when she was such a person or not, the last sentence made her thunderous outside and tender inside, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. "My eldest son, King Mu Mu Qin, is happy to become virtuous, blessed without borders, and given a good fate, and Luan is a pair."
"Hehehe, Lord Rongyi, congratulations. Great joy. It was the same eunuch who read the decree, with a smiling eyebrow, a chubby figure, and a red robe, which was particularly festive on Shuheng's face.
It was not only Shu Heng who was confused, but also the kneeling ass behind her, and the four honeys who didn't dare to raise their heads. Shuheng subconsciously turned his head to find Yuan Guogong.
"County Lord, I've taken the order." The Grand Duke smiled more and more kindly.
Shuheng rubbed his hands lightly, raised his head, and smiled innocently: "Is it okay if I don't take it?" ”
"Resist the will, kill!"
Shuheng shuddered slightly, staring at the golden scroll that the great eunuch handed to him.
"Well, my lord, did you drink when you gave this decree?"
"—Our family guarantees that His Majesty is sober."
"Have you ever knocked your head or fallen into the water or anything recently?"
"—Your Majesty has been in good health lately, and she hasn't even coughed."
"Is the milk that Your Majesty has drunk recently from Sanlu?"
"—Your Majesty never drinks milk, let alone deer milk."
Eunuch Chen was a little unhappy, he originally thought that he could get a lot of money, but when he encountered such a situation, no matter how favored Yuan Guogong was, you can't be too presumptuous county lord.
Shu Heng noticed his face, and silently lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry father-in-law, Ah Heng didn't mean it, I just, just a little scared, I, a little scared." When I looked up again, I already had two red circles under my eyes. She is still immature now, biting her red lips, frowning slightly, and the two tears are very pitiful in her eyes.
Eunuch Chen has gone to the Dingguo Mansion to pass the decree more than once, and he is quite courteous to the Duke and his wife, and he does not urge too much, looking at her like this, she also softened her look, she is still a little girl: "The county lord don't be afraid, Princess Qin, Concubine Zheng, what a beautiful thing?" I waited until you were done to enter the house, and now it's okay. ”
The words were soft, but the movements became more and more resolute, and the holy decree was almost stuffed under Shuheng's nose. Shu Heng's body involuntarily leaned back, and he was a little farther away.
Eunuch Chen: ——
"Where's my daddy?"
"Grandpa Guo has no objection." Eunuch Chen gave her a meaningful look.
At least, my dad won't hurt me.
Shuheng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and held the holy decree with both hands. Fortunately, Peach was clever, and she ran to open the box with a roll, and took out a silver ingot that was fifty taels, and she couldn't help but stuff it into Eunuch Chen's coat pocket - this kind of person must not be offended, and Miss's table just now is too outrageous.
It wasn't until mid-afternoon that Shuheng realized that he had been deceived by that shrewd and cunning father-in-law. Yuan Guogong grabbed the door and entered, took the holy decree in his hand, took a cursory look, smiled coldly, and his face was frosty: "Hmph, I have no objection?" I don't even know about this, how can I object? ”
Shu Heng was also taken aback, "So, Your Majesty is playing hooligan?" ”
"You are not the only one who marries into the □□, you are still underage, and the first to enter the house is Wang Lijun of the Liangguo family, the side concubine! She was sixteen years old. Yuan Guogong rubbed the holy decree into his sleeve and walked back: "A scoundrel habit!" How do you look like his founding ancestor. ”
"Daddy, where are you going?"
"Enter the palace and face the saint." Yuan Guogong waved his hand: "You stay well, don't run around." ”
Shuheng touched his nose and leaned stiffly on the circle chair of the carved blessing and carving longevity. Mom and Dad in my previous life, please bless me with good luck.
Great Xia Imperial Court, Zhaoren Palace. Mrs. Yuan was draped all over, wearing a lot of makeup, but there was no trace of the smugness and arrogance on her face, her face was full of anxiety, as soon as the palace stopped, she lifted her skirt, and broke in in three steps and two steps, walking in a hurry, and she didn't care about etiquette: "Grandma? My aunt and grandmother are in a big deal. ”
Yuan Guifei was copying "Health Baiwei" there, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that she threw away the pen in her hand: "Mu Yun is sick?" Is Brother Yu sick? ”
"No, it's Ah Heng, Ah Heng was snatched away by others." Mrs. Yuan's red head was so anxious that she only stomped her feet with hatred: "Niangniang didn't receive any news?" ”
Concubine Yuan was also anxious, and immediately got up and took her hand and walked to the inner room, "You speak slowly, what's the matter?" Why was Ah Heng robbed? ”
"It's 陛xià陛xià." Madam Yuan lowered her voice and hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty has given Ah Heng to the King of Qin, and the Ministry of Rites has passed on the decree." ”
Concubine Yuan was like being devoured by insects, and her body shook and fell crooked on the pillow of the splendid black jade plum blossom: "The most worrying thing has happened." ”
She stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed her temples.
It was not a day or two that the emperor was in a hurry to set up the crown prince and set the country, but the eldest prince Liu Yang was addicted to martial arts earlier, did not walk in the court, and did not cultivate his own team, and there was no one to support him at all, even if the emperor had this intention, it was difficult to convince the public. What's more, there is no strong maternal support at all. In addition, the age difference between the rest of the princes is not too much, and they are all gradually growing up, and people's hearts are inevitably becoming more and more impetuous.
The second prince Liu Yun is also very good, and the fourth prince is becoming more and more prominent. In particular, the emperor felt his sad childhood experience, and was unwilling to deliberately raise his other sons for a successor, so he would arrange suitable work in real time, such as the first North and South Shilin Expo in Jiangdong was presided over by the second prince - in the eyes of the minister, these princes are equally trusted, so where should they stand?
Yuan Muyun's identity is too ambiguous, although he walks the temple as a lonely minister and is only loyal to the emperor, but in the eyes of the world, this high-ranking prince above 10,000 people is the mother of the fourth prince Liu Yun. If someone constantly comes to probe him, he will skillfully block it back, but the impatient emperor is fed up. He wants to calm people's hearts and let the dust settle down.
Marriage has always been the easiest and most effective method. Princess Jing'an married into the Imperial Divine General's Mansion, and now she has sent the county lord of the Dingguo Mansion to the □□, and a huge help has fallen from the sky, this transaction can be said to be very cost-effective-
It is true that there are big families who abandon their daughters and insist on their own choices, but the emperor believes that Yuan Muyun is not that kind of person.
The point is that he never makes his position clear?! The emperor was depressed, how could Yuan Muyun, who had always been very delicate and sensitive, not cooperate with him?
"No, mother, no." Mrs. Yuan, who has always had a strong style, was about to cry: "Heng'er, she has been protected since she was a child, and she has never even met a slave, and she is also kind to others, and her personality is not strong and weak, and she has never dealt with any bad things." Whether it's the palace or the palace, she can't cope with it at all. My grandfather and I originally wanted to find a descendant with reliable character, regardless of family or wealth, as long as she can see her and get married, we can naturally cover her for a lifetime, after all, there are almost no more popular people in this world than the Yuan family. But now, it's like this! ”
"It's really going to kill you. King Qin's temperament is different from ordinary people, and he is a bit indifferent, not to mention his appearance, anyway, no one will be more beautiful than Grandpa Guo. He is barely enough, but I heard that he is moody and unpredictable, how can Ah Heng get along with this kind of person? Besides, this concubine hasn't entered the door yet, but she has carried in the side concubine first, and she is still the niece of Concubine Wang Xian. Look at this lady and don't say anything, but after all, she has a very favored third princess? Speaking of it seriously, Ah Heng also has the advantage of being the fourth-grade county lord. Such a strong side concubine, she is a character who can't plot with others, if she is bullied by others, in case she suffers a secret loss, how can I stand it. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Concubine Yuan froze, "Don't panic." Let's start with a look. His Majesty's decree is to be submitted to the cabinet for review, and it can only be issued after it has been passed. Didn't Shoufu Dong Chang sue for illness? Who's in charge now? If it was Dong Chang, he wouldn't be unaware of the impact behind this marriage, and Dong Shilang was friendly with Mu Yun, why was there no news at all? ”
"King Qin has just finished the crown ceremony, and it is normal to say kiss. But what about King Qi? The King of Qi is also eighteen, and he is connected to such a powerful family with the King of Qin, the Queen Mother and Concubine Li must have something to say, who will the King of Qi decide? I remember the two girls who have been circling around the Queen Mother, one is the county lord of Wenhe, and the other is Li Yulan from Xianghuabo Mansion. Which one will Princess Qi decide? And the second princess and the third princess are also in order, what will happen next? His majesty often does not follow routines, which makes people cry and laugh, but if you think about it carefully, you will find his intentions. ”
Concubine Yuan's soft, calm and rational voice had a great soothing effect, and Mrs. Yuan was not an ordinary clumsy woman after all, so she quickly calmed down. A new game has begun?
