20. Jin Qi Ember Cold
The edict on the marriage was sent on the day of the winter solstice, and the emperor couldn't wait, and he was very flattering to the king of Nanyuan. After all, it enlarged the belly of other people's concubines, and it was difficult to explain to the main master, plus Yin Ge cried and made trouble, and the emperor, who was carried away by emotion, had no time to take care of him.
Wanwan received the holy decree at the moment of worshipping her ancestors in the ancestral hall, and Yan Sunlang stood in the threshold and read out emotionlessly: "My young sister, from a noble background, is good at learning and ......", she knelt down in front of the ancestral spirit. The concubines in the hall all understood the reason, and none of them came forward to say goodbye, so Wanwan's marriage was ruled in a miserable rain.
The Queen Mother sighed more than once: "Emperor Xiaozong only got such a princess under his knees, although he was not born to me, but he grew up in front of me since he was a child. Our Daye used to have a fork in the princess's suffering in her husband's house, the mother-in-law was harsh, the grandfather didn't ask about things, the girl was tender and embarrassed to be powerful, and finally delayed in vain. Wanwan's temperament is too weak, if she is closer to home, she can always shine brightly. Now that the horse is in the south, Wanwan has to leave Beijing, this time the mountains and rivers are wide, to come back, how easy it is to say! ”
Since the first emperor Bintian, the queen mother has complained a lot about the emperor's usurpation, and it is not easy to attack. Wanwan is her adopted daughter, and when she has no choice, she also treats her as half of her own flesh and blood. Now that the emperor has made a will, even this sister-in-law has been given away, and the queen mother can't help but feel sad after returning to Cining Palace.
The concubine and the others couldn't help but be comforted: "Although it is far away, the south of the Yangtze River is rich, and it is not necessarily worse than the capital." Besides, King Nanyuan, we have also seen it at the banquet, such a polite person is different from those who are reckless. The old concubine of his family also had a reputation for virtue earlier, and when His Royal Highness got there, he was afraid that he couldn't love it, so don't worry about the Queen Mother. ”
Speaking of the old lady, she also entered the palace when she was young, and she had several relationships, she was a decent person, and she would never disobey the yang and the yin, which was impeccable. The queen mother's reluctance is more out of the sad emotion of the rabbit and the fox, seeing the children in front of her leaving one by one, what is she left in this deep palace? Other people's sons, other people's grandchildren, none of them have anything to do with her.
Wanwan knelt on the footrest, leaning on her knees, did not cry, did not make a fuss about the emperor to take back his life, but said softly: "After I leave, please take care of the queen mother, don't remember me." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she became more and more sad.
Wanwan came out of Cining Palace, her mind empty. Walking in the silent mezzanine, there are piles of snow on both sides, and the bricks under your feet have remnants of snow foam, which have been mixed with mud after some shoveling and sweeping, and have become filthy. The collision of the pearls and jade on the forbidden step looked too desolate in this ice and snow, she slowly stood on her feet, and looked back at the Qianqing Palace with fox fur warm sleeves, the red wall and gold tile had become so unfamiliar, it was far away from her.
She did not answer the order, nor did she thank her, and the emperor, as if he did not know anything about it, turned it over and asked no more. Maybe that will was a little tangled, but when it really came out, it was at ease. What about her? What did she do?
With a long sigh, the vast white mist intertwined in front of her, she asked the copper ring: "Xiao Zhangyin should have received the news now, right?" ”
Tonghuan couldn't answer, and looked at her deeply, "What does Your Highness think?" ”
"If you can think of anything, so be it." She lowered her head, feeling that it was time to say goodbye to the past, but for a moment she had a cold understanding of the world, and that kind of situation was really embarrassing.
"Today, the emperor led the ministers of civil and military affairs to the mound to worship the sky, such a grand ceremony, ninety percent of it was to be supervised by Xiao Zhangyin personally, and he may not know the will." The brass ring came up and grabbed her arm, and said softly, "I think if he learns, he will definitely think of admonishing the emperor." ”
Wanwan shook her head, "The wood is already in the boat, don't be embarrassed for him." Walking forward slowly, he suddenly paused again, "Where is the celebrant yamen?" ”
The copper ring said: "Behind the Long Live Mountain, the diagonal diagonal of the Shouhuang Palace." Why is this being asked? ”
She smiled, "I want to go up there and see him." ”
This is also a whim, she used to follow the rules and didn't dare to go out of the palace when she was idle, only once, after the death of her eldest brother, she ran out very depressed, and met Xiao Duo and Yinlou halfway through, but she couldn't have a good time, and went home in a gloomy way. Now, it is estimated that the emperor will not ask her anymore, she wants her boss to talk to him...... Maybe there's nothing really to say, just want to see him.
Tonghuan was obviously surprised, but he didn't say anything to stop her, he was too depressed for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it, and now she wanted to do whatever she wanted, just try to follow her.
She said, "The slave and maid arranged to let His Highness leave the palace." ”
She raised her hand and said no, "I'll just go like this and see who dares to stop me." ”
She wore an apricot-yellow peony-patterned cloak, the braid of the crow hung down behind her back, and the braid was tied with a glass bead ribbon. This time it was quite open-minded, Tonghuan was stunned for a moment, and Fang hurriedly followed.
She walked as if no one was around, and when she arrived at the Shunzhen Gate, there were many guards on both sides, and even if they were alive, they looked cold and had no temperature. She wanted to pass the curfew, and sure enough, a brocade guard came up to stop her, and waved her hand and said: "The palace family is not allowed to leave the palace without the holy decree, please return with honor." ”
She raised her head and glanced at him, "I'm not your long-lived lord's palace, I'm the eldest princess of Hede, and if I want to leave the palace, no one is allowed to be verbose." ”
Fifteen-year-old children, in terms of prestige, are not much, but that awe-inspiring momentum is also to be underestimated. Everyone was shocked, and they all waved their hands and saluted, and they didn't dare to block her way, but let the eldest princess out of the palace plainly, in case something happened, who could take it?
So she stepped out of the palace gate with her front foot, and the captain on the back foot ordered someone to personally protect her, Wanwan was very displeased, turned around suddenly, and looked at them hatefully, "Are you taking me as a prisoner?" Then I will cure you for your sins. ”
The lieutenant was very embarrassed, "The ministers are so bold that they don't dare to let His Highness go out of the palace alone." Where is Your Highness going, the ministers will escort Your Highness, this is for the sake of Your Highness's safety, please bear with Your Highness. ”
"Hug back and forth, lest people don't know who I am." She frowned and pointed to the copper ring, "Such a big person is in front of your eyes, and you actually say that I am 'alone', my eyes are big and godless, how can I be an errand for the emperor!" ”
The captain was beaten by a call, and he didn't feel anything about the rough skin and thick flesh, and he wanted to keep up, but the copper ring cut off their way forward, "Your Highness doesn't go out of the inner city, but goes to the celebrant supervisor, the adults don't have to follow, the slaves and maids will protect Your Highness thoroughly." ”
She is Xiao Duo's chosen person, so naturally she will not only serve tea and water. Those brocade guards saw that the name tag in her sleeve was slightly exposed, so they retreated to the Shunzhen Gate as she said.
Wanwan strode forward, looked back, and sure enough, no one followed anymore, she was a little happy in her heart, and muttered to Tonghuan: "What I hate the most is Jinyiwei, the dog fights the human power, and makes the court miserable." ”
Xu is in love with the house and Wu, obviously the East Factory is more domineering, but because of Xiao Duo's relationship, she does not reject it at all. Tonghuan smiled at her, "It's all at the behest of others, and sometimes I have to play the role of haters and ghosts." ”
She raised her eyebrows and did not comment, bypassed Wanshou Mountain and went out from the North Middle Gate, and entered the Si Li Jian Road.
There were eunuchs on duty in that place, because the people above went out to serve on errands today, and the rest were headed by Cao Chun'an, sitting around the stove in the house, baking sweet potatoes and eating peanuts. When Wanwan appeared on the door, everyone was stunned for a while, and when they saw it clearly, they suddenly jumped up and kowtowed, "My Highness, why are you here?" ”
Wanwan walked in the cold wind, her face was red from the cold, and she glanced into the main hall, "I'll go out of the palace for a walk...... Hasn't the factory come back yet? ”
Cao Chun'an said, "There are a lot of things to do today, and I won't be able to come back for a while!" As he spoke, he welcomed her into the warm pavilion, and placed her in the Shan Nankang to sit down, "This is the place where our overseer works, and he usually rests here, and the master of ceremonies is the most fragrant and clean." You warm up first, and then the slave and maid will send someone to deliver a message to the overseer, and immediately get ready and send His Highness back to the palace. ”
She said she wasn't busy, "I'll wait for the factory to come back." ”
Cao Chun'an glanced at the copper ring, and said yes, but withdrew from the warm pavilion.
She looked around, the warm pavilion was delicately and elegantly cleaned, hanging calligraphy and paintings, making the mattress of the blue background group longevity, and the Boshan furnace on the kang table lit up the good sinking water, so it was the "most fragrant" place. He usually walks in the Forbidden City, coming and going alone, she has never been to his duty room, and she does not know the environment in which he lives. This time, it was as if he had suddenly stepped into his world, so close that it was almost unreal.
She flipped through the books on the kang table casually, and he read "Hug Puzi", "Jinshi can't be compared to its rigidity, and Zhanlu can't wait for its soft......ness" is very similar to his personality. This book has a miraculous effect, and after reading it for a while, my heart is not as flustered as before, and it can gradually settle down. She pressed her hands to her knees, the room smelled of him everywhere, it was good, she didn't want anything else but to know that he was still there. Since he married Tongyun, he has become farther and farther away from her, after all, he only has Yinlou in his heart, but he has to be separated from Yinlou and Tongyun, and it is really sad to think about it.
When I came before, I was not afraid of the cold, and I wanted to see him. But when she got here, when she spent two teas in his warm pavilion, she changed her mind again. His errand is different from the ministers, but he is afraid that the emperor will not be idle after returning to the palace, and he will sit here by himself, what can he wait for in the end? Even if you wait, what can you say?
She stood up, and the brass ring stepped forward, "Your Highness? ”
She lowered her hand, her face faint, "This hour ceremony is over early, I don't think he's available, I don't want to wait any longer." ”
She stepped out of the warm pavilion, and Cao Chunang hurriedly answered, "The slave maid will line up for His Highness and send His Highness back to the palace." ”
She said no, "I just came out for a walk, how did I come and how to go back." ”
She wore a cloak out of the gate of the ceremonial supervisor, here is not as thorough as in the palace, the place where the twelve eunuchs gathered, there is Shangyi Supervisor in the west, there is a wine and vinegar noodle bureau in the east, and passers-by come and go out of the alley, which is almost the same as the courtyard outside.
Turning back along the way I came, I was always a little excited, and when I walked around the corner and looked up, I saw a person in a stone blue arrow suit standing with his hands in his hands not far away, and his side face was hidden under the collar of the Xuanhu Circle, which looked so familiar.
It's him! The heart, which was already a pool of stagnant water, suddenly rose again. I haven't seen him in March, she thought that her apology to him was long gone, but who knew that when she met him halfway, the embarrassment was simply unbearable.
She hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the brass ring, intending to retreat to the celebrant before he turned back, but unfortunately she was a step too late, no more than ten paces away from each other, and she couldn't be quicker. He still found her, and her deep eyes were neither wind nor rain, but they could penetrate people's hearts.
Wanwan was caught off guard, stunned and didn't know how to deal with it, or he took the initiative and gave her a long look, "Tanzhe Temple is just full of March, thank you Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
