4. But it rains and rains
She didn't argue, one thing in her mouth, another thing in her heart, "Don't worry, big brother, I know the rules of the ancestors, the princess of the Murong family does not intermarry with the Yuwen family, although the Yuwen family often marries with the clan, but there are only two women who enter the palace as concubines." ”
Because the number of people is too small, there is a sense of desolation when it comes to it, as if accepting the two concubines is already a great favor.
The emperor didn't seem to be at ease, so he stood up and paced in the warm pavilion with his hands on his shoulders. The bronze Pixiu incense burner burned stacks of incense, and light smoke floated, swirling with the corners of his robe. While he was playing with the bracelet, he said seriously: "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and the Yuwen clan was sealed there in order to show the generosity of Emperor Tai/Zu." Daye has dominated the world, and it has been more than two hundred and fifty years now, how long has the Murong clan sat on the emperor's throne, and how long has the Yuwen clan been recuperating in Jiangnan. In fact, I have always wanted to confiscate their fiefdoms, but I have no chance. I can't think of a way to withdraw the feudal domain, and then fill it back, which is 110,000 reluctant. You are my only sister, and you should be with me. Remember what I promised my eldest brother today, Yuwen's clan is a big trouble after all, if you surrender, they will be like a tiger with wings, and the eldest brother will lose his arm, remember to remember. ”
Wanwan was stunned by him, and nodded for a long time: "Remember, there are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, where do I look at monsters." Big brother, don't worry, Wanwan knows. ”
Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, he was still wondering: "What Yuwen clan, since the emperor is afraid of them, just find a reason to remove them from their posts." ”
Wuqi chuckled his waist and said: "Where is it so easy, grandpa (1) has grandpa's difficulties." Not to mention the side, it is very difficult for a squire with a little money in the township to be overthrown, let alone the king of the feudal domain. They not only have money, but also power, and the vassal king has soldiers and horses in his hands, and he didn't set the rules at the beginning, and after a long time, he raised tigers for trouble. ”
Wanwan glanced at Wuqi, "You are a father-in-law, how do you know so many things?" ”
Wuqi snorted: "Master, although the slave and maid have cleaned the stubble, the brain is still a man's brain." Just like the girl naturally likes flowers and powder, the slave and a brother in the brocade guard worshipped the handle, liked to play with knives and guns, and occasionally could inquire about some external situations. ”
Wanwan didn't ask any more questions, the big Ye in front of her was very peaceful, except that the king of Nanyuan was a little richer, he had not made any mistakes for more than two hundred years, and it was said that he was still the most discouraged of all the vassal kings. But since it can attract the attention of the court, there is always something outstanding!
"Have you ever seen King Nanyuan?"
Wuqi shook his head: "How old has the slave and maid lived, the last time the king of Nanyuan entered Beijing to congratulate, the slave and maid have not yet entered the palace!" ”
Talking into Yude Palace, Mama waited for the bracelet to be removed, she turned sideways and asked, "Why don't the palace and the Yuwen family intermarry, do you know the reason?" ”
Wuqi shook his head, "I only know that the last Yuwen concubine was born in that dynasty of the master of Qinzong, and then the concubine died, and the master of Qinzong ordered that the men of the Yuwen clan were not allowed to be the masters, and the women were not allowed to enter the palace, and I don't know why." ”
The gentle nurse Jiang Mama took a hot hand towel to wipe her face, and said while wiping: "Old Huang Li, what are you asking for those." Since the first emperor is not called marriage, there is always his reason, you just have to be obedient. ”
Wanwan looked at her in the mirror, "Mom is an old man in the palace, she must know why." Curious people want to explore the reason, and they will definitely do everything possible, so they shake her arm and coquettishly, "Mom and I will talk about it in detail, what happened between Yuwen Guifei and Emperor Qinzong, and made Qinzong want to make such a will." ”
Mama Jiang couldn't help it, and screamed mournfully: "If you shake my old bones again, they will fall apart!" What can be wrong, it is not the right spleen and stomach, so I will not be allowed to enter the palace again. Yuwen's family is a Qi person, and the appearance of the Qi people is different from that of the people of Middle Earth, and they are raised in the south, and their temperament is not compatible. ”
But since Concubine Yuwen died of illness, there is no record of being punished and sent to the cold palace before her death, which shows that there must be something wrong in the process of getting along with the two people.
"Maybe Eryuwen Niangniang died up because she was homesick and depressed, and Emperor Qinzong couldn't bear other girls in the clan to follow the old path of loving concubines, so he gave grace, and I don't know." She sat in front of the mirror, dismantled her head, plucked a golden cicada leaf hairpin and fiddled with it repeatedly in her hand. The high walls of the palace could not inhibit her imagination, she felt that there was a hidden secret behind every piece of history, perhaps misunderstood by today's people, but the truth was actually much more forgivable than what she saw.
Mama Jiang didn't reason with her, turned around and smiled: "Who knows, I think there is an inside story." Decades have passed, Yuwen Niangniang didn't leave a son and a half daughter at the beginning, people died, and her mother's family couldn't reach it, who cares about those. ”
Wanwan sighed: "That's how to be a girl, when you go out, no one cares if you live or die." So I don't want to get married, I have a place in the palace, I turn around and enter someone's house, show me face, don't give me food, and I'm embarrassed to sue, then I must not be able to live. ”
Everyone laughed at her when she heard it, she was still young, and she didn't meet anyone who was kind, so she didn't want to leave the palace. When I find a good colt in the future, I'm afraid that I won't want to wait a little longer.
Wanwan, she is a simple and pure person, she doesn't know how to hide and tuck, how to scruple in her heart, she can say what she says. The emperor did not take the things mentioned to her to death, and he didn't take it to heart, and lived the days when she talked about spring flowers and autumn moons as usual. I had to study how to burn incense with the people below, saying that the wisteria was not fragrant at first, and other spices should be added, even if it was the most ordinary pine, and it would be very beautiful. So quietly went to the garden of Cining Palace to find a pine tree, took a small makeup knife to pry the bark, the blade was cut by the hand, and the second incense in the Boshan furnace brought blood, and she gave this incense a name, called goose blood.
Why is it goose blood and not phoenix blood, because the princess's phoenix is a half-hung phoenix, and if she leaves the Forbidden City, she is nothing.
In the blink of an eye, May is approaching, the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival is a turning point of the season, the palace is preparing for summer, the Shangyi Bureau sent a new robe and summer jewelry, saying that the queen mother sent a message to add more, the eldest princess is long, only half a year old, and the skirt is hanging on the calf. It just so happened that I invited a good tailor from outside this year, and I was tired of wearing it inside, so I tried a new style when I changed it. As for jewelry, red gold is worn in winter and jade in summer, there are cordyceps hairpins, and there are also step shakes and earrings carved into pavilions.
Wanwan entered Cining Palace to thank her, and it happened that Concubine Shao was also there, and when she saw a faint smile on the corner of her lips, she was probably still unhappy about the previous incident.
She ignored her and squatted down to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked if she liked those things, and she said sweetly: "As long as the Queen Mother thinks it is good, Wanwan likes it." Two days later is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the people in my palace are making red bean zongzi, and I will pay tribute to the queen mother to taste. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, "Your two grandmothers are from the south, and the zongzi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are wrapped skillfully, and I have a big gap here." The emperor has a bad stomach and prefers to eat things made of glutinous rice, and if he eats too much pantothenic acid, he will give him two less, just try it. ”
Wanwan said yes, Shao Guifei intervened at the right time, "The listener has a share, don't go back to my Chengqian Palace." I will not eat His Highness in vain, and I will pay tribute to you in return. ”
Although Wanwan didn't like them to fight openly and secretly, and hated to bring herself with them when they competed, the roundness of the scene was indispensable, so she smiled and said: "This is natural, just a few zongzi, it's not worth anything, but I don't dare to ask for a return gift from the concubine." ”
Shao Guifei sighed for a while: "Your Highness is getting older now, the more sensible and likable you are." Look at the head, see the height, this will already be a big girl. I heard that at the banquet of the monarchs and ministers of the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor specially allowed His Highness to attend, I am afraid that there is a meaning of letting His Highness choose a horse, right? According to me, the other cities are also a little farther away, and it is not easy to come back from Beijing. There is only one daughter of Her Royal Highness in front of the Queen Mother, where can I see her if she marries far away! We don't know what to think about, even I can't bear it, he didn't take it to heart. ”
The Queen Mother just slapped her hand and was wearing a rice bead armor set, and when she heard Shao Guifei's words at first glance, she took a breath of cool air. When I took off the armor cover, I saw that the nails that were more than an inch long were broken clean, and my face was uncertain at that time. He threw the armor cover into the box, and the hollowed-out chisel slammed head-on into the silver scissors with a muffled sound.
Wanwan stood up in a panic, Shao Guifei was also a little afraid, the two of them stood aside and looked at each other, their hearts pounding.
The queen sank like water, "Marry to another city?" A good princess, how can there be a reason to leave Beijing? Although I didn't give birth to it, but I grew up watching it grow up since I was a child, and I was sent so far in one go, wouldn't it make me ashamed of the first emperor? ”
Shao Guifei also regretted what she had just said, and said: "These are my guesses, I can't do it accurately, the Queen Mother must not move her liver." ”
Wanwan smiled awkwardly: "Queen Mother, Erchen is still young, so it's a little earlier to say this." Long live the Lord is partial to me, let me see the world, there is no side meaning. ”
The Queen Mother sighed: "Earlier, your father took you to a big banquet for the ministers, and at that time you were only four or five years old, and the children were still forgivable." It's too big to show up at this time. The emperor is well-intentioned, and he probably has that meaning, but it is not well thought out and inappropriate. He turned his head and instructed the attendants beside him, "As soon as I informed the emperor, I said my original words, and I didn't ask the eldest princess to accompany the banquet." If there is a good candidate, I will naturally pay attention to her and ask the emperor not to worry about that. ”
Wanwan was a little disappointed, the Queen Mother wanted to arrest her marriage, and she didn't know which one she would be pointed out to in the end. In fact, the emperor was really kind, and he only blamed Shao Guifei for talking too much and disturbing her good deeds.
When she went back, she lost her temper and sat under the window and got angry. Not being able to follow the light to join in the fun is secondary, and not being able to pick the horse yourself is not the top priority, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take a look at the king of Nanyuan. The red-eyed and green-eyed Qi people are probably like in the album, wrapped in fox fur all over their bodies, with a large gong hanging on their chest, a mouth, and four rows of teeth...... It's a shame that such a living creature can't be seen in person.
Xiao You felt that her troubles were not troubles at all, "Don't call it, we can think of another way." Isn't it just to see what King Nanyuan looks like, it's not easy! Let Wuqi first inquire about which gate the vassal kings entered the palace from, and the left is not Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate. The inner courtyard of the forbidden palace can't show your hands and feet, let's go there, the slave and maid will change into a sunflower robe for you, and you will bow your head a little in the aisle, who knows that you are the eldest princess, and you are all treated as a eunuch. ”
