19. The moon is obstructed by Chinese lanterns

Whoever is in trouble, who is going to clean up the aftermath, she is an outsider and does not intend to mix. However, there is still a little guilt for the Tiantan Zhesi rashly agreed to the king of Nanyuan, because he didn't have a brain, and he sympathized with him too much, and made himself a villain who rebelled. Fortunately, the deep palace is locked, and there is no need to see each other again, even if people scold her behind her back to be useless, it's just a big deal that her ears are hot, and she can be regarded as not hearing.

When she went to the Queen Mother, she saw the Queen Mother sighing to the concubines in the room: "It's good now, the dragons have no leader." Your master is too, isn't the palace the same as in the court, a radish and a pit, and if you waste one, you have to fill in one. Now that the position of the middle palace is vacant, how to deal with the big and small affairs in the palace? Among these people, it is good to pick one out, no matter how bad it is, the officials of the court and the central government have suitable ones in the house, and it will not hinder them to canonize one. Saying that, he lowered his throat and muttered a little sadly, "I have been mixed with Concubine Duan's sister all day long, so what do people outside say?" That woman has a family, the emperor made a fuss, and even the child is pregnant, how to deal with it when he turns back to the king of Nanyuan? According to me, it's better not to want this child, and if the name is not right, it will mess up the body when it is born. ”

The concubines below had the experience of Queen Zhang, and none of them dared to speak. The queen mother's eyes crossed over their heads, and she shook her head in disappointment, men don't achieve, and women are like saw-mouthed gourds, it's easy to have a high position and dare to come out, and finally they were also taken down, the emperor's means of punishing women is probably the most vigorous and resolute since he entered politics.

The queen mother went because the first emperor went, and her serious daughter-in-law died in the Feng Palace, in fact, she was a little lazy with Yiqiē. There is no one who is close to her in a large group of emperors and grandchildren, and she doesn't care about whether this emperor is good or bad in the end. But it's still right to ask, no, in front of the queen mother, it's more worry-free than Emperor Xiaozong, who is driving a crane. Wandering through the crowd, he suddenly found Concubine Duan hiding in the corner, coughed and raised her voice and asked, "Have you inquired with her?" How do you deal with this? ”

Yin Lou's face was full of innocence, "Back to the Queen Mother, our sister was not close to each other, how to cook, she never told me." ”

"What about Banzai? Don't have anything to explain? ”

Yin Lou still shook his head, "Long live Lord rarely goes to me, let alone talk to me about such a shameless thing." ”

The Queen Mother was resentful of her question, "These two people have a deep relationship with you, and you came to me to get into trouble?" ”

Wanwan saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up to comfort the Queen Mother, "She has her difficulties, don't blame her for the Queen Mother." You see, one is a sister and the other is a master, and she is caught in the middle. Earlier, she got the news and asked the emperor what he meant, but the emperor didn't let go and said no, she was also anxious, and she was willing to give up her reputation and settle Shu Fujin. Who knew that the emperor didn't agree, but blamed her, if you blame her again, won't she be wronged. ”

She whispered softly to appease, and the queen mother slowly calmed down her anger, but she was still displeased, and said coldly: "The winter solstice is just around the corner, I see how your brother will explain to others." Don't think that you are the emperor, you can do anything, and if you turn around and annoy those vassal kings, you may not have good fruits to eat. ”

Wanwan was also helpless, thinking that the emperor must have some reason, and she had made up her mind anyway.

The winter in my memory has been accompanied by ice and snow, and the remnants of snow that have not melted a few days ago have been covered again, and there are ice edges hanging upside down on the glazed tiles at the head of the wall, and the northwest wind has swept through, freezing like a nine-tooth nail rake.

It's cold and snowy outside, but it's very warm in Yude Palace, there is a thick felt hanging on the door, the fire kang in the house is also burning, and the fruit from the south is placed on the table, and there is a pungent fruity fragrance when the curtain is opened.

On the days when Wanwan couldn't go out, she basically spent all her time fiddling with musical instruments and writing and painting, and occasionally made a female red, embroidering a purse with her grandmother, embroidering a small lotus to show her sharp corners, and holding the flowers to stretch it, perfect it with a needle and a thread.

On this day, leaning under the south window, when I was threading the needle, I saw a figure wandering around the glass shadow wall in the wind and snow. Because of the wind and snow, the umbrella covered his eyebrows, and he saw the dragon scales on his chest stretching, and the bright yellow trolling opened and closed with his footsteps, not in a hurry or slow, and arrived at the bottom of the corridor.

Wanwan was a little surprised, I don't know why the emperor came to visit suddenly, and she didn't have time to think about it, when the palace maid opened the curtain and passed it, she had already prepared her appearance and greeted the door.

When the emperor came in, he saw her standing aside, as if he didn't understand why he had come here, and he was stunned. After a while, he sighed, stepped forward and said, "Passing by Yude Palace, come in and have a look." What are you busy with? ”

Wanwan welcomed the emperor to the throne, took the tea cup and offered tea, while saying: "It's too cold, I can't do anything, I just got two new tricks, I embroidered a purse for my brother." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Embroidered for me?" Picked up the flower bandage and glanced at it, "Embroider a lotus?" ”

She smiled embarrassedly, "The gentleman is noble, and the lotus flowers are compatible." I even froze out of chilblains for the sake of depiction, brother and lo and behold. ”

She stretched out a right hand, and her jade fingers were slender and white. There was indeed a red spot on one of the little fingers, the size of a mung bean, hidden under the skin, and according to her, it was so itchy that even the finch brain could not be cured.

The emperor laughed, "How old are you, and you still use the method of treating children, of course it won't work." The minions at the bottom are too, isn't it warm enough in the house, how can you tell the master to freeze this thing! "Turn your head and call Chongmao," bring the paste that the Korean people made to His Highness, add two more lavender cages, and light the back of the screen. ”

The daughter of the Murong family was born with extraordinary dignity, the emperor did not succeed to the throne, and he was so bent on giving birth to a son at home, so that he didn't want a princess now. Since Emperor Xiaozong, there has been one of the three generations of graceful, so he is particularly partial to this sister. Wanwan's temper is very good, she is selfless at heart, she is at ease with what she encounters, and her requirements for the outside are not even as good as those of the pampered young lady in the ordinary boudoir. The emperor looked at her sad face and rubbed the chilblains, and he was really distressed.

But his ridiculous brother is going to beat her up today......

He licked his lips and felt embarrassed. He glanced at her, pressed his hand and said, "You can also sit down, your brother will be in front of you, and you don't have to be courteous." ”

Wanwan noticed that there was something wrong with him, and she was just apprehensive in her heart, so she sat down at the bottom of the head, looked at him and asked, "Brother came to me today, do you have something to say?" ”

The Emperor swallowed, shook his head slowly, and nodded again.

She smiled, "What does that mean?" Is there or not? ”

The emperor didn't dare to raise his eyes, stared at the weaving gold group embroidery on his knees and said: "I still remember that on the eve of my father's death, it was rumored that I and my eldest brother entered the Heart Hall to talk, and everything can be thrown away, but I can't rest assured that you can't rest assured, and I want our brother to take good care of you." Eight years have passed, you are now fifteen years old, and we Xianbei people have not said that if you are a Han, you are already a big girl. I've been thinking about it all this time, I can't delay you, and I have to find someone to find a home for you, so that I can be worthy of my deceased father and big brother...... Wanwan, do you have someone you like in your heart, you can talk to your brother. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, we are the endless flesh and blood of our closest relatives, this palace is so big, and only we are close to our hearts. ”

Wanwan faintly had an ominous premonition, it stands to reason that the eldest brother also mentioned to her last year that she wanted her to see the horse by herself, and she was not panicked at all at that time, why did she feel unreliable when she came to this second brother?

She reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You're here for this?" I'm not young, but I haven't thought about surrendering yet......"

Before she finished speaking, she was intercepted by him, "I heard the news, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bastard son of the Zhao family was rude to you, it was the king of Nanyuan who saved you, is there such a thing?" ”

Wanwan's heart staggered, she thought that she would not be mentioned again, and she didn't know where he got the news.

The emperor didn't wait for her reply, and said slowly: "I really answered that sentence, once fate comes, I can't stop it." If you have that meaning, I will give you a marriage, so that you will have a lover and eventually become a family. ”

Wanwan was taken aback, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the copper ring, and the copper ring standing on the side was stunned, probably not expecting the emperor to suddenly come to this hand.

She sank her face, "The emperor has forgotten the ancestral teachings, and the Nanyuan Yuwen clan is not still the master." You want to marry me, aren't you afraid of the courtiers' criticism? ”

The emperor obviously didn't care about those officials, and said proudly: "If you don't break it, you can't stand it, although the ancestral admonitions must be followed, but there should also be a right and wrong priority." Why can't the Yuwen clan be the master? It was because the ancestors were afraid that the vassal king would dominate and harm the court. Now that the military strength of each domain is controlled by the imperial court, the vassal king is just an empty shelf, what is there to be afraid of? There are eight vassal kings in our dynasty, in terms of financial resources, only one king of Nanyuan is the strongest, if you descend to the south of the Yangtze River, the brocade clothes and jade food may not be as good as in the capital. I, as an elder brother, am looking forward to your good, and I have also seen the officials in the court, but none of them can compare with the king of Nanyuan. Besides, you have finally dealt with him, and you know his character, and it is not an insult to you to descend to him. ”

He was talking to himself, and he had almost closed the coffin, and Wanwan realized that he had filled the hole. He and other people's concubines are not clear, and now he can't afford it, so he wants to use her to make up for it.

She blushed angrily, "These words are all from Shu Fujin's mouth, right?" Is the emperor here to issue an edict today? ”

The emperor was poked in the sore spot by her, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, "What are you talking about!" ”

Her eyes were hot, and she immediately cried, "At the beginning, the eldest brother told me not to pick the king of Nanyuan, but now I am a brother who comes out of my mother's belly, but in order to exchange for someone else's concubine, he is willing to compensate me to others." Second brother, it's clear that the two of us are the closest, why are you not as good as the big brother? ”

The most taboo thing for the emperor is to compare him with Emperor Yuanzhen, because the throne was already confused, and in the end, the first emperor almost became a scar on his heart. Wanwan touched the scales this time, causing him to be furious, and said loudly: "I used to indulge you too much, but now you dare to talk to me like this!" I didn't send you to a barren land, what did I do to you? You don't need to say any more, stay in the dormitory steadily, and wait for my will! He snorted and walked away.

Wan Wan stood with ice in her chest. She originally had a good impression of King Nanyuan, but in the end, she was used as a plaster for curium bowls to repair the endgame, so she liked it and became disliked.

Her face was pale, Tonghuan and Xiaoyou came up to pick her up, and hurriedly placed her on the Nankang, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the will hasn't come down yet, in case the emperor understands it, this matter won't count." ”

She shook her head slowly, "If it's just for fun, he won't make a special trip to Yude Palace today." I'm not afraid to tell you, point me to the king of Nanyuan, I should be happy, I lost him last time, and this time I can finally give him an explanation. But at this moment, the emperor made me so sad, what a compatriot, that's how he treated me as a human being! ”

Tonghuan also has no idea, after all, Chrysostom Yuyan, and Nanyuan Wang Shu Fujin is pregnant, the emperor wants both a woman and a child, so he only has a sister.
