Chapter 70: The Jade Immortal Guards the Year
Mo Yu thought that tonight's New Year's Eve was just her and the palace maids and eunuchs of the Jade Immortal Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I never thought that after a while, a distinguished guest came.
"I thought you would be deserted, but I didn't expect it to be so lively."
Mo Yu turned around and saw the lady concubine Niangniang who appeared behind her at some point. I sighed that this martial art was really a regression, and people didn't know it when they got to the back of themselves. hurriedly got up and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Why did Concubine Shuniang come over, there is no one outside." "She lost weight, it should be because of General Fan Ai's matter! Fan Ai was cut to power, and Concubine Shu's status in the harem was naturally not as good as before.
"I thought you would be pitiful, so I came to accompany you, it seems that I don't need it."
When the people in the house saw the arrival of the concubine, they hurriedly stopped playing and saluted. Concubine Shu told them to get up, and then said, "You guys keep playing, rare opportunity, don't be disappointed by me." ”
Several palace maids and eunuchs nodded when they saw their masters, so they continued to play. Mo Yu pointed to the position behind him and said, "Concubine Niangniang, please take a seat." ”
In the back room there was a brazier, and on the brazier was an iron frame, on which was a pot of boiling water. Mo Yu went to the teapot, brewed the tea, handed it to Concubine Shu, and asked, "Concubine Shu is no longer going to Pinglou to keep the New Year with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, why did you come to my cold palace." ”
Concubine Shu drank the tea and said with a smile: "It's boring to watch a few women fight over there, it's better to come here and watch a few children play!" ”
"How to fight?"
"You just entered the palace, I'm afraid you don't understand it yet. It is difficult for the emperor to organize a family banquet, and the women in this palace can't see the emperor a few times a year, so they naturally change their performance talents, hoping that the emperor can take a look at them more. Before I came out, Concubine Xian had just finished dancing a dance of a river lantern on the water. ”
With Concubine De's phoenix dance for nine days, Ji Feicui's choice to dance is really a bit risky. If you dance well, you are good, but if you don't dance well, you will be laughable and generous. "How's the battle going?"
"So far, so far ahead."
Mo Yu smiled, opened her big clear eyes, and asked, "It's so lively, why doesn't Concubine Shuniang continue to watch it?" The concubine still wants to wait for you to come over tomorrow and tell the concubine about the result? ”
"What's so good, every year, I've been watching it for more than ten years, and I'm tired of it. And ......"
"And it's sour, isn't it?"
Concubine Shu leaned back a little, found a better position, and said lightly: "It's been so many years, maybe it will be a little sour at first, but now, I don't feel it anymore." ”
Mo Yu didn't dare to speak, what could he say, could he say that the emperor was affectionate? Even if this emperor is really ruthless, they can't say it, not for themselves, but for their families. Discussing the emperor's rights and wrongs in vain will affect his family.
"Moyu, in my life, there is no hope. My father was stripped of his power, and he could only complain at home all day. I begged the emperor, but the emperor didn't listen, and then he didn't see me at all. You said that my father, for the country's hard work this week, how many victories have he fought, and he has just repelled the army of Shu, why does the emperor treat our family like this? ”
The teacup in his hand was turned around, and Mo Yu didn't know whether to say it or not. She can understand the truth that others are allowed to sleep next to the couch, but Fan Ai and Concubine Shu can't see it clearly when they are in the game. What if he has made great achievements, how if he has won battles, after all, he is not an emperor, so he will never have the right to say no.
"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine knows that maybe the concubine shouldn't say this, the concubine is an outsider and can't understand the pain in it. General Fan has been brave all his life, and it can be said that the stability of the country this week is inseparable from his contributions, but Niangniang, this country, its surname is Chai. The soldiers and horses of the country this week are the emperor's soldiers and horses! ”
In the inner room, except for the laughter of the palace maids and eunuchs in the distance, there was no other sound, and heaven and earth seemed to stand still between the two of them, and there was no sound around them. Concubine Shu stared at Concubine Li, and Concubine Li also stared at Concubine Shu, her eyes facing each other, calm and shocked.
There was a "crackling" sound in the brazier, pulling the two back to the real world. Mo Yu looked at the red charcoal in the brazier, some things are like this charcoal burning here, only when the outside is burned, the inside core will be burned. Fan Ai's power was cut overnight, it was not an overnight thing, it was because his various behaviors touched the bottom line of the Son of Heaven, and over time, quantitative changes turned into qualitative changes, which ignited fire and burned himself.
If Fan Ai had been cultivating his army as if it were the emperor's army from the beginning, perhaps things would not have turned out like this. People are greedy, they may only want one soldier at first, and when they get one soldier, they want another team, and they get a team, and they want more. Under the spur of endless desires, coupled with the lack of clarity of the mind, you will gradually lose your heart and become a slave of desire.
Concubine Shu regained her expression, and the despair in her eyes was clear at a glance, I don't know if it was despair for her family or despair for the emperor. A leisurely voice came, "We never thought about that, we never thought about what we were going to do, we never thought that the emperor would think like this, never." ”
Maybe they didn't think about stationing troops, they didn't think about rebelling. But if they don't think so, it doesn't mean that the emperor won't think so. Mo Yu poured tea again for Concubine Shu and comforted: "The emperor is a person who has led soldiers to fight, and he doesn't like soldiers and generals the most. The concubine thought, maybe the emperor did this, it may not be a bad thing, after all, it is not the four seas that are rising to the level of the Ying Song and Yan Dance, if the army is full of such soldiers, what can they use to compete with the enemy. ”
"But the emperor can't even leave a single soldier behind?"
"First, the emperor may also be too old for General Fan, so it is not suitable to work too hard. Second, General Fan is still the most prestigious general in my Zhou country, and in the future, when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, the emperor still has to rely on him! Mother, just relax! ”
Concubine Shu looked at Mo Yu and shook her head, and said, "I think, maybe I know why the emperor likes you." Not only are you beautiful, but you are also empathetic, and most importantly, you are very smart, and everything that comes to you is a good thing. ”
Mo Yu smiled disgustedly, "Niangniang, don't make fun of the concubine anymore, if the emperor likes concubines, can he let the concubines spend the New Year here alone?" ”
"Although you are grounded, but look at you here, there is no shortage of food or drink, everything is exquisite, which palace master is grounded and you are treated like this. I guess the emperor forbids you on the surface, but in fact he still likes you. ”
This question, Mo Yu has not thought about it. It is said that a master who has fallen out of favor, she is not embarrassed by the palace bureau, she is good, but she is courteous, and she gives what she wants, and she sends it if she doesn't want it. She couldn't guess what the emperor had in mind. But the words he had said to her that day were enough to make her think of him no more.
"Bang ......"
There was a sound of firecrackers outside the window, and it should be another firecracker on the side of the Shengping Building. The palace maids and eunuchs in the inner room flocked to the outside of the hall, looking up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky.
Mo Yu and Concubine Shu couldn't hold back their excitement, and the two walked to the courtyard together. The direction of the fireworks is indeed the direction of Shengping Building, where the family laughs and laughs, and the family feasts, and I don't know which of them laughed really and which laughed reluctantly. On the contrary, she was alone, and seemed to be doing well, smiling happily.
"Moyu, what do you think of this firework?"
"It's beautiful," Mo Yu said sincerely, gorgeous and colorful.
"If you had to choose, you would be willing to be a star that would never shine and wait to meet the moon. Or do this fleeting fireworks, have the most beautiful and shortest life in this life, and light up the moon in the sky. ”
Mo Yu turned her head to look at the concubine beside her, this seemed to be the first time she really knew the real concubine, and said lightly: "Then I choose to be a firework, although she is short, she can show her most dazzling moment." ”
"I'm different from you, I'm only the star who always stays with the moon, even if the moon never notices me, as long as I can see him, I'm content."
She loves selflessly, loves deeply, and she is the kind of person who can sacrifice her life for the person she loves without the other person knowing. Such a woman is stupid, but she is willing to be the stupid one.
"Lady Niangniang...... "What should I say about her?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Don't look at me with that kind of look, I don't feel sorry, I do." ”
"Concubine Niangniang, you are my first woman who truly respects." This is true, if it were her, she would not have such a broad sense of tolerance. "Let's go, Concubine Niangniang, the concubine invites you to drink plum blossom wine."
"Plum wine?"
"It's brewed by the concubine herself, does the mother dare to drink it?"
"What don't you dare, if you want to drink alcohol, the emperor may not be able to drink me, go."
When the laughter and laughter were over, everyone was so tired that they dispersed and went back to their rooms to wash and rest. Concubine Shu didn't know when she would go back, but she knew that the two of them were a little unconscious until the end, and Xiangrong dragged her to bed, and her head was still a little dizzy and didn't know where she was.
"Mother, come, drink this." It seems to be the voice of the Rongrong, but I'm not sure.
"What is this?"
"Decanting soup, you will feel better if you drink it."
Mo Yu slowly drank the decanting soup in the cup on the edge of the cup, Xiang Rong took a wet handkerchief, wiped Mo Yu's hands, and wiped her face, she finally sobered up. When you see the person in front of you, you say, "All right, I'm awake, you can go to sleep too!" ”
"I watched you sleep and I'll go back to sleep, I don't feel at ease." Xiang Rong insisted.
All right! She didn't want to argue with her, so she slowly lay down and covered herself with the quilt. I wanted to see her close her eyes, then got up and walked out of the room lightly.
After lying down for a while, Mo Yu felt that his head was in chaos. At the beginning, I was unlucky to drink this wine, but I felt that there was a lot of stamina! There seems to be the sound of charcoal fire in the ears, but it doesn't seem to be, and there seems to be the smell of wine in the house, but it doesn't seem to be all. Mo Yu's two good-looking eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
Something wasn't right, it didn't seem like it was the sound of my own breathing.
Her eyes opened sharply and sat up, and the person who appeared in front of her startled her, and she almost stretched out her palm to force the other party, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she shouted uncertainly: "Your Majesty? ”
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her with a smile, and said, "It seems that your amount of alcohol is still okay, and after drinking so much, your alertness is still so high." ”
There were already two empty jars on the table, one of which was still poured on the table. Mo Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not all me who drinks, Concubine Shu drinks with me." The emperor came here late at night, but what happened? ”
The emperor put his hands around her upper body and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if to crush her, his chin rested on her shoulder, and the heavy breath sprayed on her neck, bringing bursts of numbness, and he whispered heavily: "I miss you." ”
Listening to this voice, Mo Yu had a feeling that he was like a homeless child, who suddenly found a warm embrace one day, and then slipped into that embrace regardless of it, looking for warmth. She raised her hands and wanted to hold him in her arms, patting him on the back and telling him not to be afraid. The hand reached to the waist, but still reluctantly put it down.
"I miss you, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have done that to you, I shouldn't have doubted you, forgive me."
The corners of Mo Yu's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "The dignified Emperor of Zhou State, there are times when he apologizes to others, so wouldn't I be very lucky." ”
With such a sentence, the atmosphere in the room instantly eased a lot, and the emperor also smiled: "No, it's my luck to apologize to you." ”
"I don't think so, I just want to say now, if you don't let go of me, I'm going to really suffocate to death."
"Ah......h
His body was suddenly let go, his neck was relaxed, and Mo Yu inhaled heavily. It's been twice, and twice I've experienced what it's like to die of suffocation.
The emperor helped stroke her back and said, "Look at you like this, just don't you get angry with me?" ”
How dare she be angry with him! Fortunately, I didn't drink too much, and my brain was still able to stay sober, and I was even more sober after seeing him. Otherwise, if she said dream things that shouldn't be said, and said names that shouldn't be said, then she would really be miserable enough. "I wasn't angry at all, I wasn't in good health for the past few days, and I didn't have the extra strength to be angry."
"Speaking of which, tell me honestly, are you poisoned?"
Mo Yu turned her head to look at him and wondered, "Don't you know everything?" Otherwise, the Tai Medical Department would not have given the medicine so refreshingly. ”
"Who poisoned it?"
"I don't know! I still don't understand how someone wants my life so many times! Shengping Building, Daxiangguo Temple, even in their own palace, can not be spared. I really don't understand, who am I offending? ”
The emperor knows, she knows some things, but she is unwilling to face the truth, since she is willing to pretend to be stupid, then he will accompany her to pretend to be stupid! As long as she's happy. took her into his arms, gently stroked her hair, smelled the familiar smell, and said, "Don't think about who it is, in the future, I will protect you well and will not let you suffer a little more harm." ”
"Protect me? To keep me here is to protect me! But you see, there are still people who want my life easily. ”
"It won't happen again, trust me."
Mo Yu propped himself up, supported his chin with his hand, tilted his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a lot of excitement in the Shengping Building tonight, why did you come to me, not in the arms of other beauties." ”
"Aren't you a beauty?"
Well? All right! She's a beauty, too. Listen to him say quietly: "Moyu, have you noticed that you love to talk and laugh more than before." ”
"Is there one?"
"Well, you used to live in the mountains and no one talked to you, so you were cold and lonely. But when you come back, you see more people, you need to say more, and you will become more and more cheerful as it comes. ”
It seems that this is the case, in the past, in the mountains, I thought that Rong and Yunshang would often talk to her, at most add a night. But after returning to Beijing, I talked to the people of the Ji family and the girls of Zhao Danxiu. entered the palace, talked to the Queen Mother, and talked to Concubine Shude. Perhaps, she was originally a talkative person, but the influence of the environment inhibited her character.
"I've also found a problem." Mo Yu stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him.
"What's the problem?"
"You're not as cold as you seem. Ha ha. ”
"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment."
Madam, this is the first time someone has called her like this, and this person is still her husband, as if this title is not bad. The emperor lowered his forehead, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said softly: "Moyu, give me a baby!" ”
The child, it seems that she never thought about giving him a child, and she will not take care of the child. Giving birth to a child means that she will never be able to leave this palace in her life, is this what she wants? She didn't know.
