Chapter 17: Crying
At the time of the lamp, Emperor Yuan He hurried to the Chengqian Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Emperor Yuanhe saw that under the swaying of the lamp, Concubine Xian was quietly leaning on the big pillow at the head of the bed, looking at Xuanhui with a smile in her eyes.
Xuanhui was sitting on the brocade stool next to the bed at this time, holding a book for Concubine Xian to read.
“…… It is said that a father took his two sons to eat and did not have any dishes to eat. The father said, the ancients said that the plum quenched thirst, and there are pickled fish hanging on the wall of our house. After eating for a while, suddenly the youngest son shouted, and the elder brother took a second look! My father said, I'm not afraid of being killed! ”
Concubine Xian smiled: "Is there really such a miserly person in the world? This little one is so cute! ”
Emperor Yuan He looked at this scene, his eyes were wet, and his eyes were blurry.
There are so many women in the harem, only being with Concubine Xian can make him more peaceful and have a little fun in life.
You can't say that you don't have feelings for others. The concubine who has been serving by her side since she was a child is so gentle and considerate, and her little things are big things for her. There is always a feeling of being adored and relied on by her side.
The concubine was the first woman from a high family in his name. Although the concubine entered the palace at that time because of her eldest brother, Prince Yide, she married him as a side concubine by mistake. But the concubine's delicate and lively, and her straightforwardness that is not afraid of heaven and earth, once made him obsessed with him when he was young.
Later, the eldest brother died, and he married the queen, became the emperor, and had many concubines. But he felt more and more that there was no warmth in the eyes of these people when they looked at him, and even the smile was like wearing a mask, cold.
Until he met Xue Yingyu in the palace who came to visit the Queen Mother with his mother.
She wore a light blue dress that day, which was incompatible with the lively and rich atmosphere in the palace, but it made him fascinated.
Later, I learned that the encounter that day was deliberately done by Changyi Bo, and Emperor Yuan He was also sad. But gradually, he found that Xue Yingyu was not the same as the other women in the palace. She rarely asks for him, and she hardly talks about grievances. She always likes to look at herself with a smile out of the corner of her eye. Hold him when he's scared, comfort him when he's sad, throw yourself into your arms when he's happy, look up at him and smile.
"Oh, Holy Lord, you're here! Why don't you let people pass it on! Concubine Xian suddenly looked up and saw Emperor Yuan He standing at the door, and she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
Emperor Yuanhe closed his eyes, opened them again, settled his mind, and quickly stepped forward and said, "You lie down quickly!" What are you doing with these false courtesies when you are not feeling well! ”
With that, Emperor Yuan He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He asked someone to bring the lamp over and take a closer look at Concubine Xian's face.
"Why is your face still so white? Did the doctor prescribe medicine? Have you eaten it? ”
"Already eaten. It's not a big deal, the doctor only said that the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and it will be fine if you eat less raw, cold and greasy on weekdays. ”
Emperor Yuanhe wanted to say anything more, looked up and saw Xuanhui standing aside, raised his hand and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Our Xuanhui is now grown up, and we still know how to read jokes to the concubine." Say, "What has your father rewarded you?" ”
Xuanhui's eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "Father, I want to learn a skill, you can find someone to teach me!" ”
Emperor Yuan and Emperor laughed out loud: "Concubine Xian, I heard it right, right? Our Xuanhui actually took the initiative to learn the skill! ”
Concubine Xian also smiled: "What do you want to learn?" Let's start with that. Moti's crooked ways make your father embarrassed. ”
Xuanhui pulled Emperor Yuanhe's sleeve and said with a smile: "Father, my daughter wants to learn to ride a horse!" ”
Emperor Yuan He smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you suddenly want to learn this?" You learned to ride a horse and you don't have anywhere to ride. Could it be that you still want to go out without a sedan chair and ride a horse? ”
Xuanhui said coquettishly: "My daughter has been reading history recently, and there have been heroines in all dynasties in ancient times. My daughter yearns for it, and now her strength is still small, so she can't learn to draw a bow and shoot arrows, and she can learn to ride a horse, right? "After that, he turned into a little monkey and relied on Emperor Yuanhe.
Yuan He Difu laughed again: "You still want to learn from women heroes, learn from them to do something?" Acting chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor? ”
Xuanhui said: "If nothing else, it's always good to defend yourself...... In the future, if the horse bullies me, I can ride the horse and run to the palace quickly! ”
Concubine Xian's heart moved, and she felt that these words were ominous, but there was some truth, so she said: "The concubine sees that she is reasonable, and you will follow the saint!" ”
Emperor Yuanhe saw that Concubine Xian also agreed, so he ordered: "I will find you a eunuch who is good at riding horses to be your master in two days, and find a pony to practice first." When I can ride, I'll pick two good ones for you! ”
Xuanhui pouted: "It's so boring!" I don't want eunuchs to teach! Father, I want the third brother to teach me! ”
Emperor Yuan He stared at Xuanhui curiously and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to pester your third brother?" Why don't you let your second brother teach you? ”
"The second brother is so fat, he is not good at riding at first glance. I don't, but I'll have to find a good master! ”
"Yes, I promised you. However, the time has to be arranged by your third brother, and he can't be delayed from studying and practicing riding and archery. Recently, he is also going to get married, and he doesn't have much time to spare. ”
Xuanhui was very happy, and after thanking him, he went back to his temple to rummage through the cabinets and look for clothes for horseback riding.
Here, Concubine Xian asked about King An's marriage: "So, the marriage between King An and Yang Ge's old granddaughter is so decided?" Sister Guifei has something to say? ”
Emperor Yuanhe frowned and said: "She only knows how to grasp the tip every day, and today she has offended the Queen Mother thoroughly, and she has to suffer some sins in the past few days." ”
"It's not a bad marriage. Miss Yang Si is famous for her virtuous and generous in the capital, and it will be good to manage the palace and take care of King An in the future. Concubine Xian leaned on the pillow and held the Yingluo hanging from the jade bi of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Yuan in her hand.
Emperor Yuanhe shook her hand and felt a little cold, so he put Concubine Xian's hand into the quilt, and then said, "Why did you say that Xuanhui suddenly remembered to let the third child teach her to ride a horse?" ”
Concubine Xian's hand under the quilt was still held by Emperor Yuan He, feeling very warm, and said with a smile: "This child has become more attentive recently, and he knows how to be considerate." Maybe they wanted to take Duan Min with them when the time came, and their sister and brother hadn't seen each other for a long time. ”
She paused for a moment and continued: "It's good for Shu'er to get closer to King An, she doesn't have a brother who is a sibling, she must have a ...... to rely on."
Emperor Yuan He became a little silent, and only said after a while: "Don't worry, we are all still young and will have another child." ”
Seeing that Concubine Xian didn't speak, Emperor Yuan He raised her face with his hand, and when he saw that his face was already full of tears, he wiped his tears with his hands in distress.
Concubine Xian sobbed: "Xuanhui was only more than two years old, and she was pregnant with him again. Who knew that the concubine didn't have that blessing and couldn't keep the child...... It's been almost ten years now, and the concubine has long since broken off her thoughts...... I'm worried about what Xuanhui will do in the future, if I really quarrel with the horse, I won't even have a support......"
Emperor Yuanhe said with difficulty: "Look at what you said, whether it is the second or the fifth child who will be the prince in the future, it will be Xuanhui's ...... Brother! ”
Concubine Xian cried low and said, "Look at what you said, you don't even believe yourself. The second prince has never liked to interact with other brothers, and since he moved out of the inner palace, these three younger sisters are even rarer. The fifth prince is from that side again......"
As she spoke, Concubine Xian's tone became excited: "At the beginning, Sister Concubine Shu and my hard-working child, who were they all folded into?" There's nothing on the face, and they all look at others as fools! In the past two days, because my mother's family didn't want to marry the county lord of Wenjin, the queen mother gave her concubines a lot of anger, and even Xuanhui was also blinded. Now that you're still there, if we're all gone, who will Xuanhui rely on? ”
With that, Concubine Xian picked up the handkerchief and began to cry bitterly.
