83. Parting period

The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the shelves are full of roses. The day is getting higher and higher, and Mrs. Yuan is getting busier and busier day by day, and when she learned that her father-in-law might really want to let go of her duties, she immediately began to sort out the mundane affairs, on the one hand, she took stock of and planned various industrial businesses in Beijing, and on the other hand, arranged her entourage and all kinds of outfits. Shuheng saw that she was really busy, so he took the initiative to help her read the account books, register the list, and check all kinds of boxes and cages.

After all, the fourth uncle of the Wei family did not accept the errand of Shuntianfu, but entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The official of the imperial history has never been very easy to be, in the name of picking up the missing and filling the gaps and acting as the eyes and ears of the saint, but he is in charge of the work of picking and offending people. The image of the courtiers in front of the emperor has always been very important, and those who specialize in thorns will naturally not be pleased, and those who have always "stabbed the people in the face" have not ended well, even Wei Zheng is no exception. When he was alive, he was able to leave a good story of the monarch and ministers with Tang Taizong, and after he died, he was not smashed by the monument. After Shu Heng learned about this, his heart was a little abrupt, but seeing that Mrs. Yuan looked as usual, she didn't care, and sighed in her heart that she really lacked some knowledge.

Shuheng decorated a few carts of luggage and set off from the current mansion, and entered the palace to say goodbye to the concubine and Xiaosi.

Yuan Guifei reorganized a table of good dishes to entertain her. Lotus fragrant glutinous rice chicken, cherry fried pork, bird's nest red and white duck, steamed sea bass -

Shu Heng stood up, personally picked up the plum blossom and the blessing pattern silver fetus, poured himself a pot and filled a cup for the concubine: "Auntie, Heng'er respects you." I'm afraid I won't see each other for the next three or four years, so don't think too much about me. ”

Concubine Yuan had tears in her eyes, she was full of parting feelings, and when she said this, she couldn't help laughing: "Heng'er is so well-behaved, why wouldn't my aunt want to?" Madame is too busy? Didn't bring Yu'er in either. ”

Shuheng hurriedly said: "My mother has been greeting relatives and friends from all walks of life in the past few days, and the old lady of the Zhongyi Bofu has asked her to go several times. Brother Yu ate a slice of watermelon that day, only a little bit, but he had diarrhea, and now he is just fine, so he didn't bring it in. ”

Concubine Yuan said with a smile: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, Jiao'er is weak, I said that I would simply stay and put it in Zhaoren Palace for me to raise, but Mrs. was reluctant, and I didn't rely on it after all." ”

Shu Heng thought about it for a while and felt that it made a lot of sense. There is no plane or high-speed rail, people are sleepy and tired all the way, and adults have to lose a few pounds of meat, not to mention children. If you really want to do it, say hello to the emperor and the queen mother, this kind of thing is harmless to them, and they won't be embarrassed.

She was thinking about the feasibility, but Concubine Yuan looked at her and smiled: "Heng'er is so beautiful and so smart, no wonder she is stared at by so many people." ”

However, in vain, the addition of a heavy academic degree, learning the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shuheng has found his innocence and naivety after a few things in a row, Yuan Guogong's evaluation is in place, she is a "little spring" who is spoiled by a happy life, in fact, many times it is useless. Therefore, now I feel embarrassed to hear Linghui.

But she didn't have time to feel guilty about this, it was obvious that Concubine Yuan had something in the second half of her sentence, hinting at something.

Shuheng was not in the mood to guess, so he simply asked to the end: "The concubine made a joke of me again, how old am I, there are so many good girls in the capital who are in their prime." ”

Concubine Yuan smiled: "No wonder you don't know, who would tell a child about this kind of thing." British public decree, Mrs. Shou Changbo, don't talk about that, even the eldest princess of Shoukang, there is some faint news. Even your great-grandmother is not idle, otherwise seeing that Mrs. is leaving, it is just a lot of things, why did her old man send someone to invite him twice in three days? ”

Shuheng was like being struck by lightning, and his inner world rolled over 10,000 alpacas. People in this world are pedophiles? She was stared at like a piece of tender and delicious lamb! Even the female version of Santa Claus in Zhongyibo's Mansion who always stuffs candy for her is no exception. Of course, it can't be said that it is her who is staring, it should be the Dingguo Mansion behind her. Shuheng felt like his head was going to smoke - I'm a passerby, please let it go!

Concubine Yuan looked at her confused appearance, smiled and patted her head: "Don't worry." As long as Your Majesty doesn't commit such a thing as giving marriage to a decree, the other qiΔ“, Guogong, Madame and I can stop you. You just practice your words and embroider your flowers, what does it have to do with you how others compete? I don't know how I should live. ”

Shu Heng was still in shock and did not fully recover, but Concubine Yuan pulled her into her arms and gently stroked her back: "Heng'er has good bones, she will be a big girl when she meets again, and there will be more people who take a fancy to her when the time comes." If notβ€”hey, I'd still like to leave you to Little Four. ”

Shu Heng was suddenly shocked, and as soon as his mind turned, he heard the sound outside the strings: Aunt Guifei saw that she was too close to Xiaosi, and the two children were playing too well, so she was worried that she would really have some feelings and those strange thoughts. She was a subtle and euphemistic reminder to Shuheng not to use his kung fu on the four princes. An important principle of the big family is to maximize interests, and perhaps the future concubine Yuan of the four princes has already made arrangements.

Shuheng was originally a little annoyed, thinking of me like this, he couldn't help but look down on me, I was good to Xiaosi, it was really because this child was already likable, and besides, he was a family.

But the anger dissipated. Concubine Yuan gently touched her cheek, her eyes were still full of love. She deliberately chose this time to say, one is that the two children are older and need to be vaccinated, and the other is that they are separated, that is, they are really sad, and there is enough time and space to heal - distance is the most powerful thing, and no matter how dense the emotion is, it can be diluted.

Thoughtful and well-intentioned.

Why are you angry, Shuheng, who has figured it out, suddenly feels ridiculous. The palace is really not a good place, and the mansion is not a good place, everyone lives cautiously and frighteningly. She gently held Concubine Yuan's hand and pressed her face, with a childlike smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Yun is my little brother, the nephew of Dingguo Gong, and he is so handsome, I don't know how many little girls I will be fascinated in the future, I have to prepare to polish my eyes and find a good sister-in-law." ”

Concubine Yuan hooked her lips slightly, and ordered Caiyun to come over with a small red lacquer carved Ruyi box: "This jade lotus flower is what I asked for from the Buddha, and I asked the Buddha to open the light, bless Heng'erβ€”β€”"

"Longevity lasts, and evil turns into good fortune." Shuheng smiled playfully and took out the second half of the sentence.

Concubine Yuan also smiled, and personally took the gold-edged red plum bottom spoon and scooped a large rice ball for her to eat. "Xiao Si and His Royal Highness King Qin went to the Xishan Hunting Ground, why don't you wait? He had prepared a farewell gift for you, but he ran out again. She took the red silk and wiped the corners of Shuheng's mouth, and motioned for the palace maid to get it.

Shu Heng said with a smile: "The fourth prince likes His Royal Highness King Qin very much, and always follows him." ”

"Yes, fortunately, His Royal Highness King Qin is not tired. When he first went to the study together, Yun'er was too young, and the morning class started from halfway, he didn't sleep enough, and he would doze off in class. At that time, the third prince, the one who didn't have a pox later, relied on His Majesty's love and bullied other princes and princesses, and the second royal highness was better with the support of the queen mother, and the fourth prince suffered more, and the eldest prince would protect him out of justice. ”――

This can be regarded as unilaterally playing a role in supplementing the lack of father's love, Shu Heng thought silently.

Concubine Yuan's tone was a little melancholy reminiscing about the past, the situation in the harem was unpredictable, up and down overnight, who could have expected today's situation at that time?

Xiao Si was born to the dancing queen of Xianfu Palace, and Shu Heng guessed that he should not have been very liked by this wayward monarch at first, and the enviable grace of Zhaoren Palace today is also the result of the long-term efforts of the mother and son. The bitterness of the early years is only afraid that it is not enough for outsiders.

Shu Heng opened the gift left to him by the fourth prince with a little expectation, but he didn't expect it to be a small Persian gold knife. As soon as the blade came out of the sheath, it was a flash of silver, and the thin blade was as bright as autumn water. Shu Heng was a little surprised, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness thinks I'm going to walk the rivers and lakes as a heroine." ”

Concubine Yuan was also a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "That time Concubine Zhang Lifei sued in front of the Queen Mother - she thought that the Queen Mother would help her deal with the Yuan family, so Xiao Si heard it on the spot - it was about your fight." He wants to defend yourself. There's nothing wrong with girls being careful. ”

Shu Heng suddenly realized, yes, Zhang Lifei. That's right. Recently, the Zhang family who supervised the imperial history was too proud, if Yuan Guogong left Beijing, Concubine Yuan would have no one by her side, and the harem would be so strict, I was afraid that life would not be easy. That's why I have to transfer Uncle Wei in, even if it's not helping, I can share some of the pressure. What's more, her father has been so busy recently, it seems that because he was attacked by the imperial history very badly, he has to have someone of his own to talk to. Thinking about this, Shu Heng couldn't help but sigh, although the heavenly family has no relatives, the emperor is really good to the Yuan family.

She gently stroked the delicate and cold blade of the small golden knife in her hand, and said slowly: "Women have always only pulled their hair and slapped their faces when they fight. I can't really stab those girls with a knife. The effect of scaring and scaring people should be good. She turned upside down to look at the mark on the back of the handle: "What about the royal gift." ”

In fact, Shu Hengluo stopped after learning two boxing techniques from Mrs. Yuan - not that he couldn't hold on, but that he found that the operability was really not strong. Take this knife as an example, when you encounter a man who exceeds your body size and strength to do evil, then this knife will have the opposite effect and be taken away by the other party to deal with yourself. And those boxing techniques are almost ineffective, after all, one force to break ten will be the truth.

Therefore, if you really encounter a bad guy, there are only two tricks you can use, gouging your eyes and digging your crotch! Shuheng didn't know how to do this kind of thing and didn't dare to do it, but after encountering the wolf, his courage value seemed to skyrocket.

About Mrs. Yuan also found out about this, so she didn't force her, but told her that she had a few joints and acupuncture points that were very effective. And in daily life, people's collarbones are super painful to rub - Shuheng wiped it himself, and the effect of rubbing the collarbone is really very good, it seems that this skill must be mastered.

At the end of the same month, the Dingguo Mansion received a holy decree, and Yuan Guogong was appointed governor of Jiangnan. Although I made preparations in advance, my family had a big business, and I was busy before leaving. Yuan Guogong exerted his strong persuasion ability, and took out the ability to conquer Dong Chang to conquer Mrs. Yuan, and the royal brother finally avoided the arduous trek and was sent to Zhaoren Palace, where he was temporarily fed by his aunt.

Concubine Yuan held the blood of the Guogong Mansion as if she was holding a priceless treasure, and the entire Zhaoren Palace suddenly entered a state of first-level alert.

The emperor said: Yuan Qing, don't worry, your son will be handed over to me, and I will take good care of it for you.

Yuan Guogong immediately told his sister: Try not to let His Majesty get too close.

Most of the feudal officials go out of Beijing, often leaving some family members in Beijing as hostages, although strictly speaking, the governor does not have to be like this, and the popular favored ministers do not have to be like this. But Dingguo Gong actually gave up his infant child and put it under the emperor's eyelids, this move is simply fair, loyal to the sun and the moon, and the civil and military are all admired.

In short, a qiΔ“ looks very good.
