Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Frost in the Court The Painting Hall is infinitely deep
The day before the third baptism of the second prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Fuxiu and the emperor were relieved, they were relieved a lot, and their bodies were getting better and better day by day, and within a few days, Fuxiu was able to get out of bed and walk. Because the second prince was picked up and raised by the nurse as soon as he was born, he also saved a lot of things for Fuxiu. Fu Xiu practiced calligraphy in the courtyard of Gantang Palace that he hadn't practiced for a long time, but from time to time he would look at the place where the original concubine had been, and think alone.
It must be that the emperor couldn't spare time to see Fuxiu because of the border with the Qing Empire recently, and for a while, Gantang Palace was much quieter. Fu Xiu often has a hallucination, feeling that he often hears a very clear and crisp laughter from the direction of Yanxi Palace, like a ray of sunshine between the dense forests, shining brightly, silently, but it attracts everyone's attention in an instant.
On the day when Jiang Yutan came to see Fuxiu, there was no sunshine, and the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to be turned upside down, without a trace of wind, dry and cold.
Fuxiu gently put down the brush in his hand, fell on the pen table, and was looking at the direction of Yanxi Palace, from the outside of the open palace gate, he saw a palace maid from a distance leading a woman wearing a hair crown, wearing a sea blue cloth robe, and a plain white coat outside, for a while Fuxiu only felt that the woman in front of him was very familiar, but he didn't know what it was called.
It wasn't until she took off the big hat on her body, revealing her bright skin and mirror-like eyes, that Fukuxiu really recognized who the person in front of her was.
She didn't feel disgusted with this woman who seemed to see through people's hearts at a glance, but she couldn't get close to her all the time. The uneasiness of all the secrets being revealed under the bright sky made Fukuxiu feel like a thorn in his back for the woman in front of him, so even if he heard that she had come to the palace, he never visited her once.
"Begonia monk, long time no see. Are the laymen okay? Fukuyu recognized her at a glance from the moment she took off her tarpaula. She is the closed disciple of Shi Yuandao, the national teacher of the current Hemeng Empire, and Jiang Yutan, a monk of Begonia. Not only that, Jiang Yutan is also the niece of Jiang Suyun, the empress dowager of the current Hemeng Empire, and Jiang Yutan's Buddhism and literature are also among the few in the Hemeng Empire.
When Jiang Yutan was young, she was often crowned as a "talented girl" by others. Jiang Yutan's deeds, Fu Xiu heard about it a long time ago, and also knew that Jiang Yutan was devoted to the Buddha, and had cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and promised to pass the Buddha's door. Moreover, the last time Fuxiu met her was when he was in Anyang, at that time, Jiang Yutan was practicing in the begonia forest of Huiyuan Temple in Anyang. By chance, Fu Xiu had a relationship with Jiang Yutan in the begonia forest.
It's just that after so many years, Fuxiu feels that Jiang Yutan has not changed, but has become more of a woman's unique charm. Time urges people to grow old, and Jiang Yutan, who is dedicated to Buddha, seems to have never been old.
Jiang Yutan didn't care about Fu Xiu's coldness, smiled indifferently, walked over slowly, and saluted Fu Xiu.
Fuxiu had to show a smile and ordered Jian Xi to invite her in for tea.
Although the space of the main hall of Gantang Palace is large, since Fuxiu gave birth to the second prince, all the food and clothing in Gantang Palace have been worried, and the coal sent by the Inner Government Bureau is also better than when he was a concubine before. Because of the cold wind blowing outside the hall, Fu Xiu ordered Xiao Han to close all the windows in the hall. Burning the warm earth dragon, the main hall of the entire Gantang Palace is smoked warm like spring.
Fu Xiu has always been thinly dressed, and he has never worn any gorgeous clothes, and after Jiang Yutan entered the hall, he put down the big coat in his hand and smiled at Fu Xiu: "Niangniang, this and the outside, it is really a heaven and an underground!" ”
After Fu Xiu ordered Ming Xi to serve the teacup, Shi Cai said: "This is the imperial palace of the Hemeng Empire, which is naturally different from other places. ”
Jiang Yutan's eyes were clear with snow, and she swept over Fuxiu's face brightly, and then smiled warmly: "Niangniang, it's good." This is the Hermon Empire, which is why it is different from other places. ”
Fu Xiu was slightly stunned, and his words seemed to have changed their meaning after they were said from Jiang Yutan's mouth.
Fu Xiu was silent, only lifted the celadon tea cup, and used the blue and white porcelain tea cover to brush the tea leaves jumping and floating on the water, waiting for Jiang Yutan to speak.
Sure enough, Jiang Yutan went on to say: "Niangniang, although it is said that the emperor has always advocated the implementation of light taxation and meager endowments, but in the past few years, floods have occurred frequently in the south of the Yangtze River, flooding many crops, displacing tens of thousands of innocent people, and wandering and begging everywhere. At this time, although the current emperor asked the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to provide disaster relief, everything was not implemented. At the same time, the current emperor still wants to use all his troops to attack the Qing Empire. Niangniang saw that the imperial capital was now rich and lively, and the flow of people was like weaving, but she had never thought that the people outside were displaced, and there was no next meal. ”
Fuxiu finally understood what Jiang Yutan meant, and said with a smile: "What you said is indeed good. However, the emperor has always attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry, and since the succession to the throne, he has been promoting the development of district fields, and at the same time building various water conservancy facilities, and ordering people to build many flood control dams. After the Quhe River burst its banks, the emperor really didn't think of anything else, and only thought about disaster relief, so he sent the minister to provide disaster relief. But I don't want to, the money for disaster relief has been deducted all the way, and there is not much left. The emperor can't be blamed for everything, only the corrupt officials are too serious, and after the emperor knew about it, he also sent many loyal ministers to investigate the corrupt officials. I believe that in the near future, there will be no corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”
The snow light in Jiang Yutan's eyes seemed to be slowly melting, and she smiled, "Niangniang is right." Today's emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs who can make the world peaceful, and he is a very rare benevolent monarch. Fu Concubine Niangniang, don't you say? ”
Renjun?
Forxiu never thought about it.
In Fu Xiu's heart, she can only pretend to be the emperor alone, and she can't tolerate anyone else. Whether the emperor is faint or bright, in the eyes of Fuxiu, none of this is important, the important thing is that as long as the emperor has Fuxiu in his heart. Although the idea of Fuxiu is a little selfish, if you think about it, aren't people all selfish?
Jiang Yutan seemed to see through what Fu Xiu was thinking, and sighed lightly: "Although the emperor is not good to others today, he is already the best to Niangniang and the second prince. Besides, it is impossible for an emperor to like a person all the time, and the old man will break first, this kind of truth, Niangniang naturally understands. ”
From Jiang Yutan's words and deeds, Fu Xiu saw that although she had broken away from Hongchen and seen through Hongchen, she still thought about Hongchen. As a cultivator, she is not in the deep palace, and she can see the situation in the palace clearly, which is already very powerful.
Indeed, all of Fu Xiu's thoughts were guessed by Jiang Yutan, the people in the palace are afraid of aging, and when they are old and decrepit, it is the time when grace is cut off. Fu Xiu can't occupy the emperor forever, but he always has to do something to buy more time for the emperor to spend with him.
Fu Xiu's mind was racing, he really didn't know what the meaning of Jiang Yutan said these words, and he couldn't show a trace of his mouth, so he just chuckled: "What the layman said is yes." No one can have the emperor's favor forever, and no one can forever favor the six palaces. (To be continued.) )
