Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Imperial Palace's interrogation is impossible to ask
At the beginning of the eternal night, the air was moist and seemed to be wrapped in a spring rain that was about to burst out, and the morning sun hanging in the sky was still tender red, and its light and heat had not yet been fully exerted, and there was still some night cold around it.
The peony flowers in the Taichu Palace have been in full bloom, but this year's peony does not seem to be growing well, the tender petals are so unbearable to the slightest bit of destruction, but it is a slightly steep wind to stir the past, there is a peony corolla in the peony bush is scattered by the wind, the bright color of the petals in the breeze withered, the bright color amazes the eyes, and with a sense of grace and sadness, a bit like the peony bush to the sky of the ruler, is the silent tacit communication between the world and nature.
A glass-like clear morning light pierced the dim vision, the morning sun broke, and the majestic palace corridor woke up at this moment, and the golden top of the glass and the palace road with white jade everywhere showed a kind of imperial prestige. The people who walked in it unconsciously had a dull invisible cramping.
Everything is very quiet, but with a burst of trickling and rhyme from far to near, this quiet snap of a finger was instantly dispersed by the extraordinarily high posture of the noble woman in the scarlet dress and the cloud sideburns and peonies. Taiping Ye Ye all the way over, according to the Wuhou Queen's dormitory so regardless of the past, between the eyebrows of the soft humility and the bird's clever attitude, today her face is covered with thin ice, the whole person seems to be covered with a layer of frost and snow, looking cold and terrible.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess......" The palace ladies chattered, knowing that Taiping would definitely collide with the Empress Wu like this, but seeing Taiping in such a posture, they didn't dare to stop it too much. had to trot all the way to follow Taiping in a hurry, on both sides, calling her from time to time, hoping to regain the princess's reason.
But it is true that all this is in vain, and no matter how anxious the palace ladies are, they still can't stop Taiping's slightly arrogant pace.
Taiping's heart is actually very chaotic, since Xue Shao died, her heart has not been quiet! didn't say how sad she was, sinking and unable to extricate herself, she just felt that there was a fire in her heart and she was holding her breath, and this fire and this breath could not be dissolved unless she was a martial artist! She is eager to see her mother, she wants to ask her mother to understand, but she has to ask her mother why she can not consider her daughter's mood and situation, one moment she thinks she loves her and she gave her to death Princess Chengyang, and the other time she also gave her death to her colt for the purpose of seeking political power! Such a mother is really terrifying to Taiping, she can be absolutely domineering in her daughter's love, or she can ignore her daughter for her own immediate interests! Is this more maternal love, or is it more profound?
The more Taiping thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he couldn't figure it out inside and out! It was with such an entanglement that she couldn't help herself, she sat in the princess's mansion for a while since she woke up last night, and raised her eyes in a panic, looking at the lonely and empty gorgeous mansion, and the depression in her heart became deeper and deeper! Finally, this long-accumulated affection was forced to an extreme where she could no longer save, and with burning interest, she should go out of the house and enter the palace, and even rushed to see her mother.
The morning sun dissolves gold, the willows on the palace walls on both sides of the oblique weaving, and the shadows of the newly haired flowers and trees are shaken, and at the same time, the already messy heart of Taiping is messed up! In front of a ladies screen on rice paper in the depths of the Phi Xiang Palace, Taiping finally stopped his steps. The beautiful and reddish face was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly waved his sleeves and raised his hand, and the "cluster" tore up the picture of the ladies!
It seemed that she was still angry, she subconsciously raised her eyes to find it, and kicked down the double-layer peony-shaped incense ding on the side.
Princess Taiping is not a pampered person, she has always behaved modestly and manneredly, she doesn't know why she is in such an abnormal posture today, not only has no identity at all, but also tends to be unreasonable. She was never like this, never!
The people of the left and right palaces hurriedly approached to dissuade them, and in the midst of a noisy and anxious voice, Taiping suppressed his mood and suppressed the depressed anxiety in his heart for a while. When I inadvertently saw the picture of the lady on the ground that was torn by myself, the original fine and elegant brushwork turned into debris on the masonry ground, which was really a catastrophe from heaven, extremely aggrieved and miserable!
From the eyes to the heart, Taiping became infatuated. If you have spiritual sense, you must always want to come out of the dead and heavy picture scroll, experience this flashy and prosperous world, and read all the world; But I always want to step into the undisturbed world of painting, to avoid the many distractions that are invisible in this plain, and to get rid of this shackles that have been firmly attached to my body since birth...... A drop of rouge tears unexpectedly overflowed Danfeng's eyes, thinking about it, Taiping didn't feel crying.
The aggressive atmosphere calmed down a little with Princess Taiping's silence and wordless tears. But the tranquility that comes out of this way still makes the human heart feel cramped.
The noise outside was so loud that the Empress Wu, who was worshipping the Buddha in the Phi Xiang Hall, naturally noticed it. At this time, I suddenly saw that a Hunan curtain was lifted in the depths of the inner hall, with a teasing sandalwood aroma, and the martial queen walked slowly and gracefully, from the inside to the outside.
Because she was in the backlight, Taiping didn't see what kind of expression her mother had on her face when she raised her eyes, she watched her mother gradually close the distance between her and herself, and then her mother waved her hand and quietly withdrew the palace people beside her, leaving Shangguan Wan'er to her side: "What's the matter so in such a hurry?" The bright phoenix eyes stared at Taiping, and suddenly asked in a gentle tone.
Listening to the tone of voice can't refute the joy and anger of the martial queen, but as the distance continues to close, Taiping can see the look on his mother's face, and the posture is still as deep and unfathomable as a plain pool.
The thought took a detour, and the peace of mind pulled the thought back suddenly, and only then did he realize that his mother was talking to him, and he was shocked by the natural aura on his mother's body! But in a trance, she only had a moment, and she quickly calmed down: "Mother, your heart is really so ruthless and decisive!" "It's not a question, he spit out such a sentence coldly to the Empress Wu, and Danfeng's eyes seemed to be as cold as ice and snow!
Empress Wu's eyebrows were slightly fixed, seeing that her daughter had changed from many of her meek and supple normalities like Su Ri, and the sentences that did not salute and spoke were ruthless and direct. She knew in her heart that Taiping had entered the palace and went straight to the Phixiang Palace for Xue Shao's business.
But Empress Wu doesn't want to explain more to Taiping, everything she does naturally has her own precise plan, paving her own plan, understanding or not is a matter of Taiping, and if she explains everything, she really doesn't have that idle time! What's more, Taiping is her daughter, if Taiping can't even comprehend this little bit of thought, and can't be ruthless in such a choice, then how can he be worthy of the identity of the princess and the first princess?
Empress Wu did not disturb the peace of her nature because of her daughter's strange appearance, she stood still, glanced at the little daughter who was close to her, and then raised her slender eyebrows slightly and smiled lightly: "Ling Yue, what you said, mother doesn't understand." The tone is not cramped, understated, and indifferent. No, there wasn't much in her mind.
"Don't understand?" As soon as these words reached Taiping's ears, a self-deprecating sneer appeared on his lips. Taiping slightly turned his face to the side and staggered his mother's gaze on his face, "Yes, I forgot, disguise is my mother's strong point......" At this time, she was already too disordered, and she didn't care about what she said or did, and she didn't think about it, and she just said it.
Empress Wu's heart snorted.
At this time, Taiping's mind was stacked to a peak again, she turned around, walked a few steps to her mother's side, raised her hand and grabbed her mother's fluttering cuffs, her face was dyed with panic and confusion, and there was a burning intent, "Why, why did Xue Shao die!" Why don't you think about your daughter's current situation at all, you want to treat Xue Shao and your daughter like this! ”
Taiping knew that she was crazy, crazy, otherwise how could she even dare to ask this mother, who had always respected a god?
But this state of mind couldn't dominate that body at all, she trembled softly, her fingers were cold, as if she was sincerely looking for an answer from her mother, and she seemed to be waiting for her mother to bow down to soothe the depression in her heart, and it seemed that she had just done pure emotional venting because she had accumulated too much and suppressed it for too long.
There was a momentary silence, which was enough to calm Taiping and restrain her already chaotic heart, so that she realized that the person she was constantly questioning and unreasonable and stubborn was her mother, and she was also the supreme Divine Emperor of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty.
Suddenly, a long breath slid through the unwavering heart, and although the Empress Wu was getting older, her well-maintained face seemed to have a warm breeze to stir around. She slowly raised her hand, and unexpectedly, she shook her daughter away. This face was not angry and arrogant, and immediately staggered the gaze that fell on Taiping, and the martial queen's phoenix eyes contained a cold light like a sword blade: "You don't have to worry about the things on the side, you just need to remember that he deserves to die!" "I never said much, let alone comforted my daughter, and I shook off these words majestically and awe-inspiringly, which was natural cruelty in my bones.
Peace shock!
Empress Wu's thick eyelashes cast a row of sparse shadows in the backlight, and the cold air in her eyes was about to come out together. After this sentence was settled, she didn't say a word, and resolutely turned around and walked back to the inner Buddhist hall.
Shangguan Wan'er on one side was indifferent, lowered her head and narrowed her gaze, and then followed closely.
In a trance, the sound of footsteps gradually became shallow, and only Taiping was left in the huge outer hall of incense.
Because of the strength of her mother's surprise, her body fell heavily on the surface of the flat green bricks, accompanied by the torn fragment of the lady's picture.
Everything is like waking up from a dream......
The light suddenly turned, and all thoughts disturbed her heart, Taiping gradually became quiet, and slowly lowered her face of Hibiscus, because the sudden thoughts were too close, so that she could not even have time for sad tears.
The natural affection between mother and daughter is very strong and sincere, and at the same time very subtle. Don't dare to hate...... She didn't dare to hate her mother, and if her mother was so strong, she couldn't hate either.
No, no, no...... She said this to herself over and over again in her mind.
But it turns out that in my mother's heart, I have never been the most important, and I can always make concessions!
Her mind fell heavily, and she subconsciously raised her head and looked around through the wooden lattice door behind her. Even though the view was blocked by the door, she knew that the palace outside was very beautiful and majestic, and the people in it were as small as the most humble and weak, and the weakest and weakest and weaker and weaker ants.
No one in it will hate, unless that person doesn't want to die anymore! And in the same way, it seems that everyone is crazy and trying everything to fight for that kind of thing, and what everyone wants must be a very good thing...... That thing, it's called "rights".
As soon as the thought fell, Taiping's mind fell suddenly.
The dead are gone, and the living must live well! It must be, well, live well.......
In the end, Empress Wu still cares about her little daughter.
After Xue Shao's incident, in order to appease Princess Taiping, Empress Wu broke the ancestral practice of Princess Tang that she could not seal 350 households, and increased the number of households enjoyed by Princess Taiping to 1,200. This multiplication, which is not only soothing, but also shows the depth and depth of Taiping's favor by the Empress Wu.
