Chapter 152
Finally, the two imperial concubines had already entered the main hall, and the man above the main hall, his ink-colored hair rose slightly in the wind, and his deep gaze was cast into the distance, with a little melancholy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info seems to have traveled through 10,000 years and seen through everything; But with a slight smile, he is kinder than anyone else. The dark eyes are like a lake of clear water, calm but bottomless. Red silk and white robe, wide sleeves are raised by the breeze, like a fairy. The bridge of the nose is high, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and the lips are a little pale, I don't know if it has been pursed for too long or for other reasons. Mu Changqing feels that he can't forgive himself now, he once said that he will be a couple for a lifetime, but now, he has married two women he doesn't love, I don't know what will happen if Ruohan knows? Will she forgive him? Xu Qiushui's words were still in his ears: "Since you love Su Ruohan so much, you can die for her, so why don't you gamble, just bet that Su Ruohan will stay for you." "Yes, he's gambling that when everything is settled, he'll go to her and tell her everything.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Gu tassel, Tian Ling'er, pure and kind nature, enshrine Gu tassel as Concubine Su, title respect, Tian Ling'er as Lingfei, title for Duan, Qin this." The eunuch's voice was extremely delicate, but the voice was like a bell, and the voice was so loud that the ministers who passed down the steps could hear it clearly.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
The two imperial concubines said at the same time.
Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is encircled, the green willow hangs around, there are three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. In the courtyard, the Yong road is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the plaque of "Yi Red Fast Green" is hung on the five hugging buildings. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool. Qinfang Creek converges here and flows out of the Grand View Garden, and there is a white stone road across the Qinfang Creek to pass to the other side.
Walk through the Dacheng Gate and come to the Dacheng Hall, one of the three major halls of Muguo. This majestic and towering huge building with heavy eaves and nine ridge tops, the bucket arches are staggered, and the yellow tile covers the roof, like a golden luan palace. In front there are ten stone pillars side by side, and on each pillar are carved two dragons, one above and one below, which coil and rise, soar through the clouds, and swim towards the middle; In the middle, there is a jewel surrounded by some flames. Oh, two dragons are fighting for the orb!
In the park, the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the quiet and beautiful pool pavilion water corridor, as well as the masterpieces of ancient gardens such as large rockeries, ancient theaters, and jade Linglong, all make me nostalgic for going back and forth. In particular, the carved dragon built on the ridge of the wall, with its scales and claws fluttering, its whiskers flying, as if it was about to take off, is even more moving.
Turn to the east, pass through a hall of east and west, after the hall to the south, the large courtyard in the Yimen, there are five large main houses on it, the wings on both sides of the deer top ear room drill the mountain, extend in all directions, Xuan Ang is magnificent, but it is the Chuxiu Palace. Now the two concubines Duanfei and Concubine Jing still live in Chuxiu Palace, but the emperor returned to the imperial study after the canonization ceremony.
After Tian Ling'er returned to the room, she was looking forward to it, but when she heard the news that the emperor had left, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, she thought that his big brother Mu would come over as soon as possible, but she was disappointed, and then thought that her big brother Mu was still like that, rigid, but looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she was very happy, she really married him.
"Xiqiao, bring the jade Ruyi that the emperor just rewarded me." Tian Ling'er's voice was very crisp.
Xiqiao immediately laughed at Yanka's response, and then entered the back room, and then walked out with a tray, on the tray was covered with a red cloth, but you can still see how dazzling the red cloth is, Xiqiao walked over with a tray, and said with a smile: "Niangniang." ”
Tian Ling'er smiled and lifted the red cloth, but below was a jade Ruyi, on which the red-red gems were inlayed, each of which was the size of the East Pearl, and there was a red agate on top of the jade Ruyi, which was particularly eye-catching, which showed how valuable this jade Ruyi was, in fact, it was very common for the Jade Ruyi Emperor to reward his concubines, but the reason why Tian Ling'er was so happy was because Mu Changqing only rewarded her, and Gu Tassel did not.
"Xiqiao, you say, is the emperor better for me than that Gu tassel?" Tian Ling'er's voice seemed to be a handful of jade, which was particularly good.
Xiqiao immediately said: "Niangniang, of course the emperor is still good to you, otherwise, the treasury has so much jade Ruyi, but the emperor has rewarded you, this kindness and love can be known at a glance, does Niangniang still have any doubts?" The emperor naturally loves you the most. ”
Tian Ling'er originally thought that Mu Changqing was different to her, but this time she heard Xiqiao say this, and she was even more happy, smiling and looking at the meaning, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, but she didn't know what she thought of, her cheeks were crimson, like the clouds of the sunset.
Inside the Imperial Study.
Mu Changqing wrote hard to annotate the recital on the case, but there were still many unapproved recitals on the case, and at this time, he suddenly thought of something and shouted to the door: "Chu Yan, come in." ”
Chu Yan has now become the protector general of Mu Guo, and his reputation for being brave and good at fighting has also spread, and the boudoir ladies of the various ministers' families outside are also very envious and worshipful, but Chu Yan seems to have no string every day, and he actually ignores others, Mu Changqing also laughed at him for this matter.
Chu Yan was originally guarding the door, and when he heard the summons inside, he immediately walked in, and was about to bow down, but he heard Mu Changqing say coldly: "Don't fix those false courtesies, come here." ”
Chu Yan was very curious and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”
Mu Changqing thought for a while and said, "Wei Haoxuan hasn't found it yet?" ”
When Chu Yan heard that this was the case, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and then a very embarrassed look appeared, and said, "Wei Haoxuan must have been rescued by someone, but I don't know if it's friend or foe yet." He analyzed it very calmly.
Mu Changqing shook his head and said, "The person who rescued him doesn't know whether he is friend or foe yet, but now I'm sure that he may be more than lucky." ”
Chu Yan nodded and agreed: "Wei Haoxuan has secretly cultivated countless fine works, and the gathering point is on the land of the northern country, but as the prince of the Wei country, he is cheating in the northern country, I am afraid that the northern country will also hate him very much, if Wei Chen is not mistaken, it must be done by the people of the northern country." ”
"The one I let you keep in secret...... What's going on? Mu Changqing suddenly changed his words, but he inquired about other things, he asked very carefully, and he could tell that he was very concerned about this matter.
Chu Yan immediately understood, and then said: "Yipin Xian Restaurant's business is still booming day by day, and business is booming. ”
"Getting to the point." Mu Changqing said curiously, didn't he know what Su Ruohan was capable of? How easy is it to run a restaurant, and does this still use his boasting?
Chu Yan smiled evilly, and then said: "Miss Su, she is very good, she does everything step by step every day, but she ...... Your Majesty, when do you plan to tell Miss Su, and also tell me about your new identity. Although Chu Yan has followed Mu Changqing for many years, he rarely hears the name of a girl in his mouth, but this Miss Su is different, I believe that his master is different from other women to this Miss Su.
Mu Changqing fell into silence, and then felt a splitting headache, looked at the music on the side, and said: "Since Xia Wanyi from the northern country is going to Mu country in two days, presumably the northern country must know who Emperor Jing is in two days, so I can't figure out when I should tell Ruohan if she ...... What should I do? ”
"Your Majesty is the emperor for Miss Su's mother, as long as you find a chance to explain the entanglements, and what Your Majesty did for Miss Su is probably already beyond all, this kindness, Miss Su is already grateful to death, how can you blame the emperor, the subordinates guess not." Chu Yan analyzed them one by one.
Mu Changqing felt that things must not be so simple, and then said: "If the news that Ruohan's mother is still alive, don't spread it first, after all, it's ......" After all, Xu Qiushui imprisoned her all the year round, so the hatred between her mother and Du Ruomei is probably not so simple, and now she has such a big misunderstanding with Ruohan, if you add her mother's matter, then I am afraid that there will be more and more explanations in the future, so he does not dare to take risks, and he can't take risks.
Mu Changqing kneaded his eyebrows, he didn't know why, he always felt that his temples were beating suddenly, as if it was a sign that something was happening.
"Your Majesty, why don't you call a doctor to come and take a look." Chu Yan looked at him very worriedly.
Mu Changqing shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's okay, if you call a doctor over and let the queen mother know, I'm afraid this matter will be too small, I'll just rest for a while." ”
The room was quiet, and at this time, a father-in-law Zhang walked in with a lacquered mahogany tray, with a very respectful attitude, and then knelt on the ground, with a proprietary voice, and said: "Your Majesty, whose brand is it today." ”
At this time, Chu Yan smiled slightly, as if he understood something, and then leaned over slightly and retreated quietly, but Mu Changqing looked at him, wanting him to help prevaricate the past, who knows, this kid actually slipped away, and couldn't help frowning angrily, but now he can't come out, after all, this father-in-law Zhang is the person next to the queen mother, from the accession to the throne to the next step, the queen mother can be said to have taken great pains, and the meals he ate during this period of time were all made by pharmacology, and it was undoubtedly not the top priority for urging his heirs.
Gonggong Zhang quietly looked at the emperor, but at this moment he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling's fiery red dress is really glamorous." ”
Mu Changqing naturally knew what Gonggong Zhang meant, so he nodded immediately, pointed to the green head card on the side, and said, "Concubine Ling......"
Father-in-law Zhang bowed down respectfully again, and then said, "The old slave retired." ”
There were no secrets in the palace in the first place, and after today's canonization ceremony, which of the two concubines will serve first has become a hot topic in the palace, but soon there were rumors.
Originally, there was a small corner in the palace, and many people liked to gather at the base of the wall to talk about some topics, and everyone was tacitly speaking.
"Did you hear that? After the canonization ceremony, the emperor turned over the brand of Concubine Ling. ”
"Who says it's not, it is said that Concubine Ling's father was a general before the Wei State, and the reason why the Wei State was able to be quickly taken into the emperor's pocket was because of Concubine Ling's father, so the emperor's kindness to Concubine Lingniang was naturally much better than Concubine Su's."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that Concubine Ling seems to have known the emperor for a long time, and she was a childhood sweetheart at that time."
"It seems that the lord of the backyard will probably be the spirit concubine, after all, the vacancy of the queen's position is not a long-term solution."
"You don't know yet, Xia Wanyi, the princess of the northern kingdom, is going to marry the day after tomorrow, how can this princess's identity be a concubine, so I guess that the queen's position is probably going to change hands."
"I guess none of you know that the princess of the northern kingdom has been married, and the reason why the emperor agreed to marry her is just because he cares about the friendship between the two countries."
Several palace maids in the corner of the wall chatted more and more lively, but these things seemed to be seen with their own eyes, and soon, noon had passed, and now it was time to change classes, and soon, they dispersed quietly.
As soon as the palace people dispersed, they saw a man in silver armor lying on the fork of the tree, his eyebrows were clear, but his face did not lose his sharpness at all, and then he smiled coldly.
It's really interesting, I didn't expect Emperor Jing to just canonize the two concubines, and the next second, the news spread everywhere, and it was really word of mouth.
Suddenly I saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes walking under the tree, and this woman was wearing a cyan dress, a cyan pomegranate skirt, a cyan gauze dress, a cloak made of fine faint yellow silk on the shoulder, wearing a perfect match with the skirt, the skirt was embroidered with a white lily, the white was a little red, just like the white and ruddy face, the upper hair was coiled into a circle, with a few hairpins inlaid with emeralds, and the lower layer scattered three thousand green silk on the shoulders, and the earrings were also inlaid with emeralds, and the white jade neck, With a necklace of pearls and emeralds, it adds a lot of style to the jade neck, and the pink red lips on the fair face look petite and cute, adding a lot of charm to the fair face.
It's her?
Chu Yan quickly jumped down from under the tree, stepped forward quickly, and immediately dodged in front of the woman.
Forsythia only thought about taking the red sandalwood piano back to Chuxiu Palace and handing it to Concubine Su, but who thought that the next second was startled by the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, the piano in her reflexive hand was thrown down, and a hanging heart jumped suddenly, originally thought that her life was not guaranteed, but who knows, the next second the qin was firmly caught by the man in front of her.
Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still very pale with fright, and when she regained her look, she saw clearly that the person was the one who accidentally injured her last time, and then said with anger: "It's you?" Why I met you, there must be no good thing. ”
Chu Yan looked at her, smiled stupidly, stared at Forsythia, admired, and blurted out: "You are wearing this dress, and you are like ......two people before" He paused and continued: "I didn't expect you to be so beautiful." Although he said this, but when he saw her for the first time, the weakness and helplessness at that time were deeply in his heart, and at that time he knew that the woman in front of him was very beautiful, but today he was so beautiful in the clothes unique to the palace, and the whole person was refreshed.
Forsythia looked at him, but new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "It's actually you, it's too much, I haven't asked you for revenge for the chest injury last time, and now I'm scaring me, do you know that this is Concubine Su's very cherished red sandalwood qin, if it is broken, you will not be able to cut off ten heads." With that, she stepped forward, snatched the piano back, and carefully placed it on the railing beside her.
Chu Yan didn't blame her for being very disrespectful, but just pointed to the pavilion on the side and said, "Can I go sit there with you." ”
Forsythia looked at the pavilion on the side, as if he had thought of something, and then asked, "Seeing that you are not dressed simply, I don't know what your identity is?" This is the palace compound, and you can actually go on a rampage here. "This belongs to the territory of the concubine, and what generally appears here is either a large internal guard or a patrolling soldier, and he is actually dressed extraordinary, it seems that he is not a guard or a soldier, but he can enter and exit the backyard freely, it seems that his identity needs to be questioned.
Chu Yan insisted on entering the pavilion on the side, before he was willing to tell her his identity, but Forsythia thought that the time was too early, so he agreed, and then the two of them just entered the pavilion, and the palace maid who knew the current affairs stepped forward, after a busy while, there were three stacks of exquisite pastries and a pot of good tea on the table where there was nothing, Forsythia could clearly smell the tea in the teapot It smelled very good, it must not be ordinary, and then he became more curious about Chu Yan's identity.
Forsythia was busy chattering with everyone in the morning, and now she didn't even drink a sip of water, and then she heard her stomach gurgling, her embarrassed cheeks were crimson, but she heard Chu Yan say lightly: "You eat some, pad your stomach first, I'll make a long story short, you can also take a rest first, and it will definitely not delay you." ”
Forsythia heard that she could move, so she unceremoniously stepped forward and picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, poured another cup of tea and drank it.
Chu Yan saw that no one was eating next to her, with a pair of big smiling eyes, it was rare to see her showing such a cute smile, but ...... He found that he couldn't look away, Forsythia felt that fiery gaze looking at him, and said a little embarrassed: "What are you looking at me for?" ”
"Are you all well? After the inn was goodbye, I went back to look for you, but the shopkeeper said that you were gone, so ...... I'm still very accusatory, is your wound healed at all? ”
When Forsythia heard this, he immediately became vigilant and said, "Have you ever gone back to me?" Her words were tentative questions, but then she didn't see any strange looks on his face, and put down her hanging heart again, and continued: "My wound has healed, as long as I don't exercise vigorously, it's fine, after that day, I came out of the inn, thinking that since I was helpless, I simply needed to find a living, and then I saw the release of the emperor's list, Mu Guo recruited palace maids in large quantities, I just had the attitude of trying, and then I was successfully selected, maybe it was fate, I was assigned to take care of Concubine Su's dormitory, Concubine Su was very good to me, at first when I first saw Concubine Su, I coughed, she not only did not blame me, but let the prince treat me, and finally knew that I was seriously injured, I was worried that Niangniang would drive me away, but no, and let me do some very easy and simple work, you say I am not going out to meet nobles. Forsythia babbled, but she explained her whole story clearly, and knew that she was just a very simple-hearted girl.
Chu Yan listened, then smiled heartily, and said: "Since you have been open and honest, then I should also be honest and have been sued, my name is Chu Yan, I am the protector general of Mu State, and at the same time guard the safety of all the palaces in the palace, I just didn't expect that I would actually meet you." When he said this, he subconsciously looked at her, but Forsythia didn't seem to listen to him, a heart was just on a few plates of pastries in front of her, but after a while, three plates of pastries plus a pot of tea, she had eaten and dried, she patted her stomach very satisfied, looked at him again, and said, "Thank you for these pastries for me, I should go back early." With that, Forsythia got up and picked up the red sandalwood and walked in the other direction.
Chu Yan still looked in the direction where she had already reported, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she would actually be so close to him.
Chuxiu Palace.
Chuxiu Palace is a large hall with eight entrances and eight exits, and there are many layout palaces inside, and Gu Liusu and Tian Ling'er live in the two palaces of Chuxiu Palace on the left and the right respectively.
Forsythia had just walked into the door of Chuxiu Palace with the qin in his arms, and he heard the palace maid beside Concubine Lingniang deliberately having a very big business, and laughed: "Do you know? The emperor turned over our mother's sign tonight. ”
Forsythia naturally knew that they were just deliberately finding fault, but she was very calm, as if she hadn't heard what they said, she walked towards her palace in diameter, and then stepped into the main hall.
In the hall, Gu Tassel sat on the soft chair on the side, the soft chair was covered with a thick sticky blanket, the blanket texture was very soft, and there was a faint fragrance in the room, which smelled very good, there was a charcoal fire in the middle of the main hall, which was burning at the moment, the temperature in the room was very warm, and the original smell of charcoal fire was covered by the fragrance of the incense burner, but it smelled very good, with a warm feeling.
Forsythia put the piano on the shelf of pear blossom wood that had been built on the side, Gu Tassel has always been very low-key, and the girl next to her was only placed according to the old practice in the palace, but the only person who could officially enter her hall was Forsythia alone, Gu Tasui was willing to trust her intuition, because those palace maids she was afraid that they were all eyeliner planted by the Queen Mother, and she was really smart, those palace maids were really the eyeliner inserted by Xu Qiushui, because she was the crown princess of the former crown prince, and her identity was already unknown. If it hadn't been diagnosed by the imperial doctor, I am afraid that Gu Tassel's status would be even more embarrassing, but she is very strong in her heart.
"Niangniang, the rhythm of this red sandalwood piano has been corrected."
Gu Tassel looked at Forsythia with a smile on his face, as if he had never worried about anything, and then seemed to be infected, and said, "Forsythia, you suffered with me." ”
Forsythia turned his head suddenly, looked at Gu Tassel, and suddenly smiled: "Niangniang, what are you talking about, Forsythia can follow Niangniang to take care of it, it is Forsythia's honor, at first Forsythia was helpless, and now Niangniang is the closest person in Forsythia's life." ”
Gu Tassel smiled faintly, she was very satisfied in her heart, when she saw Forsythia for the first time among the many palace maids, she felt that this person's eyes were very clear, as if she had not been contaminated with any dust in the incident, she also asked her to come over and scout closely, and the conversation between the two people in private was even less like a master and a subordinate, just like a sister.
Gu Tassel didn't know who else to believe, but now that she was willing to believe it, she felt that she was still alive.
Forsythia looked at her, and then said: "Niangniang, this wedding dress is too heavy, the slave scout Niangniang has changed into a refreshing dress." ”
Gu Liusu also felt that the clothes on this body were very heavy, so he nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful." ”
