Chapter 62: The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix, Nagato Fu
Situ Yun received an answer from Wei Qian, tossing and turning in his heart, unable to sleep at night.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he has no feelings for Wei Qian. But after being rejected like this, I was always a little unwilling in my heart. After all, he can be said to be the best and most valuable man in the world, right? That's it, how can anyone refuse?
But reason told him that Wei Qian's idea was the best. The two took the opportunity to disconnect, and he didn't have to go back to the palace with a vase to watch.
went to court with completely different thoughts, and before he could speak, someone immediately talked about Wei Qian's entry into the palace. There is a large number of objections below, and the biggest reason is very simple: Wei Qian is an unknown person, and Kefuke's father is ordered not to enter the palace.
This is also Wei Qian's biggest stain, not one of them.
The Manchu Dynasty had a lot of civil and military discussions, and all kinds of doubts were in the dust.
These objections only aroused Situ Yun's desire for power. Looking at these high-ranking and powerful old ministers, he thought in his heart: "Although Wu Ge Lao needs to rely on it, isn't it that he has too much power and has begun to threaten the imperial power?" β
The prime minister and the imperial power have always been the focus of controversy.
With a rebellious mentality, Situ Yun was determined to let Wei Qian enter the palace.
Jia Yu snorted coldly and glanced at an official in another column in the distance. The official who worked in the Hanlin Academy immediately came out: "The lord of Jinling County is noble and virtuous, and he is known to be virtuous. Ministers often hear that the nobility of a woman lies not in the body, but in the four virtues. β
"Moral chastity is called women's virtue, graceful rhetoric is called women's words, dignified manners are called women's appearance, and dexterity is called women's skills. The one who gets the fourth is the Master. The official from the Hanlin Academy was outstanding in writing, and he refuted everyone with a clever mouth: "The lord of Jinling County has a high moral character, and he has taken care of Mrs. Huangfu for many years regardless of gains and losses, regardless of the words of outsiders, this is a trip of women's virtue." Eradicate the squire bullies for the people of Jinling, and the words are old and spicy without losing the rules, which is the woman's words and deeds. Born in a princely family, her face is as delicate as Lhotse, this is a woman's appearance. Giving gourds and blessings to the whole country, this is the best for women, throughout the ancient and modern times, such a merit can also be recorded in history. If such children are considered inferior because of the marriage contract, what if they are born into a reckless and lowly manner? β
This is true. As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from. How many people throughout the ages, whether they are reckless, or commoners, or farmers, have all endured immortal achievements. Queen Si's sisters and brothers are nothing more than singers and grooms, but they dominated the world in the Han Dynasty. β
Many people felt reasonable when they heard this, Jia Yu's brows were soothed, and he said: "In the past, the emperor once surveyed the eight characters for my niece, if you question that there is a disaster in my family, then does it mean that the emperor's majesty is dizzy and can't recognize the noble?" β
Moving out of the backer of the emperor, everyone was dumbfounded.
"But that's not in order."
"Rules? Which dynasty's rules? I advocate the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties in the Gaozu Dynasty, there are guards in the front, and there are martial arts queens in the back......" The official of the Hanlin Academy was gushing endlessly, and a few friends next to him heard that something was wrong, so they quickly interrupted him. It's not okay to mention other allusions, but you have to talk about these two? What will happen to these two in the future, it is clear that they are going to curse people!
"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said is very true, Emperor Xuan's old sword is affectionate, and after Guangwu is restored to Yin, this is the old love and righteousness. In the past, the county lord had a life-saving grace to His Majesty, and since he said that he entered the palace with the gift of a side concubine, now Chrysostom Yu's words cannot be changed. β
The two parties insisted on their own words, but the words of Jia Yu and others were aimed at Situ Yun's thoughts, although they did not express their position on the spot, but after listening to these words, they were even more firm in their positions.
The next dynasty went to the Taiji Pavilion to visit, just in time for Wei Qian and the Emperor Taishang to discuss, so several people had dinner in the Taiji Pavilion.
Speaking of dishes, Wei Qian had to thank Jia Mei for her teaching. It was precisely because of Jia Mei's teaching back then that Wei Qian did not make a fool of herself at the dinner table.
Situ Yun and the Emperor Taishang didn't care about these details, Empress Dowager Chen looked at it secretly, and couldn't help nodding: "In the end, everyone is from a background, and their words and deeds are not comparable to small families." β
It took two years for Princess Situ Yun to adapt to the royal rules. Empress Dowager Chen didn't like the princess's petty family, but now that she was the queen, she didn't bother to say anything, so as not to cause turmoil in the harem.
However, Wei Qian was quite good for her taste, and it was helpful to her son's career, so she gave a few good looks, and even took the initiative to create opportunities for Situ Yun and Wei Qian after withdrawing from the table, and let the two go to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
In the end, she is a fiancΓ©e, she has a marriage contract, so she doesn't have to worry about any rumors.
Wei Qian looked around, Hong Chun and Xiangling followed a group of eunuchs and palace maids behind, and only Wei Qian and Situ Yun walked in front. "This time to enjoy the flowers, I don't know how many people in the harem will be affected." Wei Qian thought silently, and accompanied Situ Yun to enjoy the flowers together.
The two really want to say, they haven't met a few times, where did the topic come from?
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Wei Qian couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is busy with official business, why don't you leave first?" When the concubine returned to stay in the imperial garden for a while, she went to the queen mother to talk back. β
"It's okay, it's not a big deal these two days. And if there is really something, there is still the father and the emperor. Situ Yun's face was gloomy, although the Emperor Taishang let go these days, there were always some people who didn't open their eyes and went directly to report to the Emperor. There are also those old ministers who have followed the Emperor Taishang for many years, and they can't be dealt with lightly at all. Asked Taiji Pavilion about everything, and what he, the emperor, did was really aggrieved.
"This imperial garden is said to be the place where the Empress of the Heavenly Martial Arts enjoyed the flowers, and there is also a peony platform here, which is said to be the place where the Empress Wu burned the flowers."
At the time of Wu Zhou, one day Wu Zetian was drunk in Da Nei and ordered the flowers to bloom, only the peony bloomed the latest, and was degraded to Luoyang by the angry Wu Zetian. This allusion Wei Qian is familiar with, after all, she has seen several flower fairies with her own eyes, and the plum blossom fairy has told her these past events.
"So isn't there no peony in Daming Palace? Could it have been transplanted later? β
"Yes, it was Emperor Gaozu who later transplanted it from Luoyang, but the growth ratio did not allow Luoyang." Situ Yun took Wei Qian to Peony Terrace, because it was not the flowering season, and there was no flowering in sight, only a lush green flower field.
"Speaking of which, there are pear orchards and plum gardens in the Daming Palace. It is said that the plum garden is still the palace given by Xuanzong to the Mei Concubine Jiang clan back then. β
"Plum Garden?" Wei Qian likes plum blossoms, and as soon as her heart moved, she followed Situ Yun to the plum garden. At this time, the plum garden did not bloom widely, only a red, white and white bud waiting for the cold winter.
It's just that when Wei Qian walked into the plum garden, a budding red plum tree suddenly bloomed, and Wei Qian faintly heard a burst of laughter.
If you look closely, you can see a flower fairy standing under the tree and gesturing to herself.
Knowing that this plum blossom fairy was welcoming him, he smiled a little and looked at Situ Yun's heart.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of plum blossoms bloomed, and the fragrance of flowers suddenly rushed over.
The plum blossom fairy stood under the tree with a smile and said: "This majesty is really a caring person, and he deliberately ordered someone to use a fire to promote flowers last night. Fortunately, Meihua has strong endurance, otherwise I really don't know how much I will be injured. β
The plum blossoms were in full bloom, Situ Yun laughed heartily, and everyone next to him congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is an auspicious omen." The red plum blossom blooms, the shape is like marriage, this is a hundred years of good harmony. β
Shi Hai, the little eunuch beside Situ Yun, hurriedly spread the red cloth and let Situ Yun and the two sit under the red plum tree.
When the plum blossom fairy saw the real dragon Tianzi sitting down, she didn't dare to be with him, so she immediately hid in the plum tree, and only two or three red plum blossoms floated to Wei Qian's bun.
Situ Yun subconsciously reached out to take it, and it happened that Wei Qian also reached out to pick it, and as soon as the two touched, Situ Yun quickly withdrew his hand like an electric shock.
Wei Qian frowned, didn't speak, and only took the plum blossom in the palm of her hand to look at it.
Looking at Wei Qian's white and soft water, he recalled the feeling of the two of them touching. The ancients said that "skin is like white jade" is indeed not a lie. It's just that the palm of the hand seems to be a little cold, as if it doesn't look like a living person.
Situ Yun was thinking wildly, and then diverted the topic: "I just had dinner in Taiji Pavilion, I guess you haven't eaten enough after worrying about your father and queen mother, why don't you use it here in the plum garden?" β
Saying that, he asked people to prepare dishes, and also found singers to dance and accompany the wine.
The two sat under the red plum, and Situ Yun said tentatively: "The county lord is a person favored by heaven, and as soon as he enters this plum garden, he will be greeted by red plums." What should be said for this auspicious sign? β
As he spoke, someone had already brought the food.
The plum tree floated a face: "Look, isn't this a person with a heart?" These dishes were prepared well in advance. β
Yes, if it was placed in a previous life, this kind of chartering and ordering food was enough to impress the hearts of many girls. Especially this emperor, who stands at the top of the pyramid of a domineering president.
However, Wei Qian's mind is on the Lizhu in the palace, as long as the Lizhu manages to get it, the others don't care at all.
Hearing Situ Yun's thoughts, Wei Qian pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Plum blossoms, there are no flowers, this is a sign that the flowers are broken." And because the plum blossoms bloom in the snow, they lead the moon alone, and there is a lonely flower and a proud image. This is the life of a lonely, and if you want to come to the plum blossom to welcome the guests, it is a sign of heaven. β
Situ Yun's speech was blocked, and Shi Hai next to him hurriedly asked people to play music and accompany the wine to relieve Situ Yun's embarrassment.
"What do you think of this east gate?"
"Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds. Although it is like a cloud, I think about it. Silk clothes and scarves, chat about my members. Out of its ranks, there are women in full swing. Although it is in full swing, I think about it. Dressed in clothes, chatting can be entertained. The singer next to her rehearsed in advance and began to chant "Out of the East Gate" in the Book of Songs
This dish is a meat dish in which venison is grilled and sliced into the shape of petals, which are combined into a giant peony flower. Also known as "rich peony", only the heart part of the flower is embellished with a small white velvet flower as the center of the flower. The leaves are some green dipping sauces, Wei Qian sniffed them, it should be a dipping sauce made of sesame pepper pickled peppers over there in Sichuan.
Carefully picked up a piece of venison and dipped it in the hot sauce and dipping it, and suddenly the tongue was hot and spicy, and the numbness spread throughout the tongue. Hurriedly poured a glass of wine and rinsed his mouth, and ate two more mouthfuls of other dishes.
Situ Yun laughed and paused before saying, "I still remember when you gave me a deer in the Nanshan Hunting Ground." Now I use venison as an ingredient, as well as this plate of dumplings and this eight-treasure rice, you should recognize it. β
It was all the food that Wei Qian sent him when Situ Yun was recuperating.
Yesterday, I didn't succeed in simply using poetry and vegetables, but now I immediately change my strategy and use the kindness of the past years to recall the past of the two.
However, the two of them didn't have much to recall from the past, and Wei Qianhui was about to speak after coming over, when he heard the sound of music next to him. As a piano master, I immediately understood what kind of song this was: "Phoenix seeks the phoenix." "A famous song that has been passed down through the ages.
"This majesty really has the heart to marry you!" The plum blossom fairy looked at this pomp, obviously a plan that had been carefully prepared for a long time, and secretly said: "If you don't refuse well, I'm afraid you won't have a clean life in the future." β
"yes, some things are better to say." Wei Qian thought silently, and said: "Your Majesty is lovely, and the concubine body also has to repay one or two, can you borrow the dining room for one?" β
Knowing that Wei Qian wanted to spread the sound with food again, Situ Yun nodded and asked Wei Qian to go down and prepare.
Half an hour later, Wei Qian brought four plates of dishes.
Situ Yun was apprehensive in his heart, not knowing the meaning of Wei Qian's actions.
Looking at the four dishes, there are also meat dishes, soup dishes and dim sum.
"What do you say about these dishes?"
Wei Qian pointed to the pot of Xizi lotus soup, with a piece of tender tofu floating on it, and a wolfberry dotted with it. "This is Xizi's illness."
"Want to compare West Lake to Xizi? This dish is a match for yesterday's Tao Zhugong. Situ Yun smiled, pointed to the pastry and said, "What do you say about this plate of pastries?" β
This cake is a snow plum cloud cake, a specialty of Jinling. Chestnut flour is used instead of flour, egg whites are mixed with plum blossom snow and pine nuts, and finally baked.
"This is Saibei's weeping."
Situ Yun was silent, and pointed to the bear's paw leopard fetus next to him, Wei Qian said: "Bear and leopard, the game of the chain, this is closed without a trace." β
"Dong Zhuo is still a little weak, comparing Wen Hou to a leopard is a little weak."
"The mountain tiger is the king, how much has Wen Hou lost his royal spirit, how can he dominate the beasts? The jackals and rats are also not suitable for the warm weather, and only this leopard fetus is suitable after thinking about it. β
"Well, yes, the leopard fetus is the place where the child is conceived, and it is also in line with the relationship between the two of them."
If you think about it carefully, the meaning of Wei Qian's three-course dish refers to the three beauties of ancient times.
"So, the last one should be Yang Guifei? What is this allusion? β
Wei Qian finally picked up the last ingredient, sprinkled with white sugar instead of pear blossoms: "This is Ma Wei pear rain." β
"......" Situ Yun's face was wrong, he was kind enough to prepare these pomp, but people didn't appreciate it from beginning to end?
There is gradually anger in her heart, and it is a big deal to be directly included in the palace, could it be that she still dares to resist the decree?
"Eat slowly, and the concubine will play another song for you." When Situ Yun was allowed to taste it, Wei Qian ordered someone to set the piano, tuned the timbre and began to stroke the piano.
This tune is also familiar! is from the same era as Situ Yun's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" just ordered.
"Nagato Fu!" Situ Yun didn't know what Wei Qian meant, and it was tasteless to eat four dishes.
After playing a song, Wei Qian said lightly: "Your Majesty rules the four seas, and the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, how can the dew be wet?" It's just that I only hear the newcomer laugh and don't hear the old man cry. β
Situ Yun was about to refute, when he suddenly thought of Wei Qian's Changmen Fu just now. In the past, what a beautiful talk about the golden house was hidden, so how to slap Queen Chen's face in the future.
"Your Majesty treats me with the courtesy of a national scholar today, and the concubine is terrified in her body and mind, and she really doesn't dare to accept it." He pointed to the four dishes he made: "The four beauties of ancient times have been sung to this day, but what happened to them?" β
"Zhaojun can't get out of the ring, and there is no sable cicada after the chain. Yang Fei was so honored in the past, and in the end, he was not a spring mud under the pear blossom tree? As for Xizi, it is a good ending to go into hiding with Fan Li. But Xizi is weak, and it is only the end of Xiang Xiaoyu's death. If this is the case, it would be better for His Majesty to directly decree that the concubine would be able to become a monk and cultivate the Tao. Wei Qian had tears on her face, and no matter how angry Situ Yun was, it was not easy to get angry.
only said: "I call myself a benevolent monarch, and there will never be anything about Emperor Wuzong Xuanzong." β
Where is Wei Qian's trust? After three bows, he went to the Empress Dowager Chen under the pretext of saying goodbye to Situ Yun and leaving.
However, Wei Qian opened the words, dispelled Situ Yun's thoughts again, and looked at the shadow in the distance and didn't know what it was like.
