Chapter 36: A Few Dawns and Twilight
Hurriedly arrived in front of the Zichen Palace, Mei Rui heard the crisp sound from the previous time again, accompanied by the angry voice of the little emperor: "Who does she think she is?" My father is gone, so she can control me? ”
She glanced sideways at Lu Zhen, who had already lifted his robe and walked in, avoiding the broken porcelain on the ground, and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”
"Lu Zhen?" The little emperor was holding a bottle of colored glazed porcelain vase to the ground, and when he saw that it was Lu Zhen, he threw the porcelain vase to the hand of the waiter next to him, and the waiter hurriedly hugged the porcelain vase that escaped, and the little emperor suppressed his frustration and asked with concern, "Are you all well?" I'm going to give you a few more days off. ”
Lu Zhi bowed down and asked gently: "The minister is fine, but why is His Majesty angry, it's not good to hurt his body." ”
Mei Rui also came up to persuade her, and the little emperor was very aggrieved when he saw Mei Rui, and pursed his lips, "Rui Rui, I miss you." ”
She smiled softly and softly, "Then Your Majesty sues the slave, what's wrong?" ”
When it came to this, the little emperor was very depressed, and he gritted his teeth, "That poisonous woman has not been staying in Xingqing Palace recently, but she is going to choose the queen for me, can she do these things for me?" ”
said that he wanted to smash things again, but Lu Zhi was beside him, he forced himself to press it down again, Lu Zhi glanced at it, and the little eunuch holding the porcelain vase next to him trembled, so he knelt down in a daze, and kowtowed on the ground: "Yesterday, His Majesty was enjoying the scenery in the imperial garden, and Zhao Niangniang led Zhao Si Niang to come over, saying that it was to let the four girls get along with His Majesty, and His Majesty was not happy to turn around and leave, so Zhao Niangniang asked people to stop His Majesty Xià and said, ......"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhi said coldly, the little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue, and the little emperor suddenly spoke on the side: "She said that she is my mother, and she should plan for me, and she also said that this marriage is something she has been thinking about for a long time, the four girls are gentle, and the Zhao family is also a noble relative, since the opening of the Dajin Dynasty, there have been five queens and two concubines, so my queen should also be the daughter of the Zhao family." ”
Mei Rui smacked her tongue, "Queen Mother, it's not that she's not very sober lately, otherwise how can she behave like this." She wrinkled her eyebrows, "Why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look at the Queen Mother to see if the mother has a cold or fever, and cure it as soon as possible, so as not to affect others." ”
The hall was silent for a moment, the little emperor turned his head to look at her, and when Mei Rui was wondering if his words were too forgetful, the little emperor burst out laughing: "Rui Rui, you are so cute." ”
Lu Zhi glanced at her with a smile, Mei Rui lowered her head a little confused, the atmosphere was much more relaxed because of her words, Lu Zhi waved his hand to let the people who were with him retreat, helped the little emperor to sit on the crescent moon pestle, and said very calmly: "The Queen Mother's words are not unfounded, the daughter of the Zhao family has always been raised with the character of a concubine of the heavenly family, if you want to stand up, the daughter of the Zhao family is indeed the most top-notch candidate." ”
The little emperor was surprised when he heard this, and his mouth pursed, very unhappy, "Are you even looking at her?" I know what you said that the emperor's grandmother is also a daughter of the Zhao family, but I don't like these golden branches and jade leaves, and I don't have any serious thoughts in my day, so I think about it all the crooked ways! If I want to marry the daughter of the Zhao family, I will definitely not approve of it! ”
He gritted his teeth again, and his face was full of determination, "I have made up my mind, even if it is Lu Zhen's words, I will not listen." ”
Mei Rui rolled her eyes to look at Lu Zhen, she didn't know why he was standing on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhao this time, but he stood there with a pale face, folded his hands, and didn't look like he wanted to continue to speak and convince him, and threw out another sentence: "Then who does Your Majesty want to marry?" ”
The little emperor replied without thinking about it, "Yunyu! ”
As soon as the words came out, he secretly screamed that it was not good, covered his mouth and secretly glanced at Lu Zhen, his expression was unfazed, but he didn't seem to be surprised by this matter at all, his eyebrows were eyebrows, his eyes were eyes, and he set a clear and clear wind: "Who is Yunyu?" ”
He obviously knew everything, but he still held on to let the other party say it, Mei Rui felt that this could probably be regarded as Lu Zhen's quirk, the little emperor blushed and held back for a long time before he said coyly: "It's the palace maid of the Shang Palace Bureau......
This name is very familiar, Mei Rui tilted her head sideways and thought for a while, and then vaguely remembered the little palace maid who studied from herself in the literature museum, and she was shy and shy in her memory, and she didn't know how she met the little emperor. Just as she was thinking about it, Lu Zhi had already asked: "How could the palace maid of the Shang Palace Bureau get into the eyes of His Majesty?" ”
The little emperor scratched his head, and when his young heart was revealed, he always felt embarrassed, but under the pressure of Lu Zhen, he still said shyly: "A few days ago, Rui Rui went out of the palace, and I remembered you and Rui Rui, I was worried day and night, and I couldn't eat." ”
"Thank you for your concern, please pick an important one."
The little emperor stuck out his tongue, "That day, I told you that there was a little palace maid outside the Zichen Palace, who was sneaky, and she didn't know what she wanted to do, didn't she only stab her a few days ago!" I sent someone out to bring her in, and asked her why she was acting in a sneaky manner, but she told me that she and Rui Rui were old acquaintances, and that there was such a big thing in the palace, and she was worried about Rui Rui, and she couldn't see her when she went to the court, and she didn't know when Rui Rui would come back after leaving the palace. Thinking that waiting outside the Zichen Palace, she might be able to meet Rui Rui, she just wanted to take a look at Rui Rui and make sure that Rui Rui was okay. ”
is also the end of the world, the little emperor heard the sigh, so he let Yun Yu go, and happened to bump into the tearful eyes, the little emperor suddenly felt as if his heart was hit by a fawn.
The precocious little emperor must not be as dull to feelings as Mei Rui, and it took so long to determine his mind, and he clearly knew that he probably looked down on this little palace maid.
There are not many emperors in the past dynasties who are fortunate to be palace maids, but they are generally fresh, like the little emperor who took a fancy to the palace maid for the first time, Mei Rui felt that she was probably unheard of and unseen, she was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Are you serious?" ”
"Rui Rui, don't let me condone you, you can be so lawless," the little emperor straightened his face, but he didn't have any majesty, pretending to be old-fashioned, "My thoughts, can you guess at will?" ”
In front of the little emperor, Mei Rui was not used to being in shape, the corners of Mei Rui's mouth curled slightly, stood upright, and asked him for guilt: "The slave maid lost his honor in front of the emperor, please punish His Majesty." ”
The little emperor snorted, "That's it, I'm magnanimous, so I'll spare you this time, and I won't make an example." After finishing speaking, he changed into an ordinary soft and glutinous expression, blinked his eyes and asked Mei Rui: "Rui Rui, Yun Yu said that you taught her to read, is it true?" ”
Mei Rui smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
"Then tell me more about her!" The little emperor urged her, but Lu Zhi took the conversation back, he stood there with his sleeves down, the purple robe and jade standing, he really had the bearing of ten thousand people, he said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty Xià wants to go to the palace maid called Yunyu, or the Zhao girl?" ”
The little emperor blurted out, "Naturally, it's Yunyu!" ”
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
The Xiao family has always been in love, Emperor Huai is, and it is said that Emperor Zhongwu is also, and there are countless of them. Mei Rui looked at the little emperor's increasingly heroic eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little emotional, not knowing whether the temperament left in his bones was good or bad for the emperor.
Thinking about it like this, she brought out the matter that Zhao Chun told her before, Lu Zhi and the little emperor's side faces were in front of them, and they both pressed the corners of their mouths and locked their eyebrows, there was a five-point similarity, Mei Rui was shocked into a cold sweat, and she endured it before it was revealed. Lu Zhi was still in the confrontation with the little emperor, the little emperor was rarely so firm, and his eyes darkened: "Even if the road ahead is difficult, Your Majesty will not regret it?" ”
The common thing in the world is the mountain alliance and sea oath, not even a copper coin is worth it, the little emperor is still young, he has never tasted the taste of love, he only knows that he likes it and has to get it, he nodded: "I don't regret it, if I register Yunyu, I will definitely be good to her." ”
In the end, Lu Zhi made concessions, but maybe he had planned this way from the beginning, he sighed imperceptibly, folded his hands and said to the little emperor: "Since Your Majesty insists on this, the ministers should do their best to fulfill Your Majesty's wishes." ”
After soothing the little emperor, Lu Zhi was about to go to Nanya, Mei Rui walked out with him, saw that some dust had fallen on his shoulders at some point, raised his hand to pat it for him, Lu Zhi's eyes moved over, she stopped what she was doing and asked, "What are the guards going to do?" ”
After the palace maid, the ministers of the previous dynasty were the first to come out to stop them, Lu Zhi smiled casually: "Just use a little thought, it's not a big deal." He paused and asked, "Where is the bachelor going?" ”
"Beiya," she held her hands in her sleeves, a little disturbed by what happened today, "I'll go find Commander Zhao and make it clear to him." ”
Lu Zhen's face sank, and Mei Rui said again: "I know your difficulties, King Xiang and the Queen Mother are clearly one faction, although you are in charge of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, but the Northern Ya is in the hands of King Xiang, staring at the power in your hands, at this time, you can't be wrong." She lowered her voice, her eyebrows were extraordinarily peaceful, "Your Majesty has only ascended the throne, although it is justifiable, but it is inevitable that some ghosts and villains will covet this throne behind your back, these are all you are worrying about Your Majesty, so he can sit on the throne safe and sound." So you don't need to tear your face with the Queen Mother, the Zhao family is too deep-rooted, and there is no justifiable reason to shake it. ”
He was surprised that she had this insight, and Mei Rui tilted her head and smiled, "Are the guards surprised?" Anyway, I used to be a bachelor at the Literature Museum. ”
Seeing these treacherous turmoil in books all the year round, Mei Rui experienced it for the first time, and she sincerely felt terrified, every step seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife, the enemy was in the dark, and she didn't know when it would appear to cause a fatal blow, she made up her mind and resolutely said: "So this matter is handled by me, please don't be distracted by this, the protector has something to do with the guard, then I will do what I can." ”
She looked at him, and there was deep concern in her voice, "Please also ask the Protector to be careful." ”
The coolness of Lu Zhen's eyebrows gradually melted, the spring breeze blew through his cuffs, carrying the hustle and bustle of the apricot blossoms on the branches, he was like a god and Buddha above the floating slaughter in the good spring/light.
"Definitely."
