Chapter 33: The Storm and Storm (1)
After entering Kyoto, Xian Chen felt that there was no change between this place and when he left, but Qin Tong and Gao Qianyue were here for the first time, and they were very curious about everything, Xian Chen simply asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to Lanyue Villa, and he and Lan Weishu accompanied the two of them to have a good look around Kyoto.
"Slim Dust, let's go eat sugar gourds." Gao Qianyue looked excited, and Xianchen rolled her eyes, "Isn't there this thing in Jiangnan?" ”
"Jiangnan's is Jiangnan's, Kyoto's is Kyoto's, and the sugar gourd under the feet of the Son of Heaven may be different from Jiangnan's." Gao Qianyue pouted and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"What can be different, it's not all hawthorn wrapped in sugar coating, the same sweet and sour." Xianchen muttered quietly, but it still couldn't escape Gao Qianyue's ears.
"Let's go, let's go, let's taste it." Gao Qianyue was entangled in Xianchen, and she was about to pull her over to eat a sugar gourd. Xian Chen inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qin Tong's sparkling eyes when he looked at the sugar gourd, but he couldn't resist it, so he took the two of them to the small vendor over there to buy the sugar gourd.
Gao Qianyue, who ate the sugar gourd as she wished, smiled contentedly, and Xianchen couldn't cry or laugh when she saw her whole face made by red sugar juice, so she took out a piece of brocade from her arms and wiped it off for her one by one.
Gao Qianyue looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said inarticulately: "Xianchen, if you are a man, I will marry you." ”
"Don't mind, I'm not a brother and sister." Xian Chen's face was disgusted.
"Sister and brother love?!" Gao Qianyue was curious, this statement was still fresh.
"Yes, if I were a man, you would be older than me, wouldn't it be a sister-brother relationship? I don't want it! Xianchen's seemingly casual words were full of seriousness.
Speaking of this, Gao Qianyue became interested, "Xianchen, what does your ideal husband look like?" ”
Xian Chen spoke: "My ideal husband, he must be beautiful and delicious, and secondly, ......"
"Your Highness, the emperor asked you to enter the palace immediately." The conversation was suddenly interrupted by someone who came, and Xianchen looked back, only to see his own guard standing in front of him, narrowing his eyes, and then nodding, indicating that he knew.
The guards disappeared into the bustling crowd, and Xian Chen turned around and said to Gao Qianyue: "Qianyue, you and Qin Tong followed Lan Weishu to walk around in Kyoto, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”
Then head in the direction of the Royal Palace.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
"Chen'er, Jiangnan and his party have gained something?" From the throne, the emperor's majestic voice came.
"Father, I went to Jiangnan here, and my sons and daughters have gained a lot." Xianchen bowed and replied.
"Oh~ Let's hear it." The emperor leaned forward, looking like he was listening.
"The matter of the Mo clan in Jiangnan, Erchen has already explained on the fold, Erchen believes that the strictest thing is not the protection of officials and officials, but the collusion between officials and businessmen.
"What should the dust think?"
"Erchen believes that it is necessary to vigorously clean up, improve the Dali system, and put an end to the collusion between officials and businessmen." Xianchen did not hesitate to say his opinion.
"It's easier said than done." The person on the throne let out a sigh, and the feeling of having more than enough strength in his heart obviously shook Xianchen's body, "Chen'er doesn't have anything else to ask his father?" ”
"The son doesn't know what his father means, and he asks his father to make it clear."
"Regarding the matter of the Snow Imperial Princess, doesn't Chen'er want to ask me why I didn't wait for you to come back, and insisted on canonizing her despite the opposition of the ministers?"
"Erchen thinks that it is a private matter of his father, and Erchen has no right or reason to ask. What's more, my father is the king of a country, and it is a blessing for the royal family to take a concubine to open up branches for the royal family. "It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but he can't ask. Rao is favored by her father, and she also has to pay attention to her words and deeds, and she is most jealous and arrogant.
"Chen'er is really sensible, and I am very relieved. Okay, when you come back from Jiangnan today, I'm afraid that your body is also tired, go to Weiyang Palace to say goodbye to your mother, and go back to your house to rest. Then the Emperor waved his hand and motioned for Slim Dust to stand down.
Xianchen came out of the imperial study, paused, and turned around and went to Weiyang Palace. Along the way, the palace people stood quietly in various places, and when they saw her, they knelt down and saluted. A woman's voice came from the front, soft but with a coldness, like a proud snow red plum. Finally, I saw the woman on a small bridge, the woman was dressed in a white shirt, and there was no excessive decoration around her body, only one or two red plums were embroidered at the placket as an embellishment, which made the woman's face more and more cold and unparalleled.
"Who are you? When you see the imperial concubine, don't you kneel down and salute? What is the crime? A palace maid spoke, and her tone was very domineering.
Xianchen frowned, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and looked up at the palace maid. The eyes are sharp, and there is a faint murderous intent.
The palace maid was frightened by this terrifying gaze, and took a few steps back, not daring to speak again.
Only then did the Snow Emperor turn around leisurely, pretending to see the appearance of Xianchen, and let out a "ah" before bowing.
"The concubine has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Xianchen just looked at her like this, and didn't say anything to excuse her, nor did he say anything to let her get up. Cher had to stay in this position, motionless.
After a while, Xianchen opened her mouth to let her get up.
"The Snow Emperor Concubine is really a beautiful embryo from that place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the palace heard that the Snow Imperial Princess's body is as weak as a willow, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. It's a good thing that the Snow Emperor Concubine has a soft temperament, after all, the father needs such a red-sleeved person around him, but this palace kindly reminds that this person still has to teach well, so as not to even know who the master is! This is said to be very rude, but no matter how unhappy Xue'er is, she has to endure it at this time, who makes her family an emperor of a country.
The nails dyed red Kodan were deeply pinched into her palms, but Xue'er smiled very gently on her face, "Your Highness has taught you a lesson, the concubine will definitely teach this slave a good lesson when she goes back, and she will definitely not teach her to collide with His Highness next time." ”
"That's very good." Slim Dust waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
The Snow Emperor Concubine was not hiding at this time, and slapped the palace maid in the face, and her long nails scratched her cheeks, bringing up bloodshots. "How could there be something as stupid as you? Don't you see that it is Her Royal Highness the princess today? Yes? How dare you ask her to salute me?! Xu was too excited, the Snow Princess's chest kept rising and falling, and the snow-white abundance was about to come out together.
"Niangniang forgives the sin, the slave maid has only been in the palace for a long time, I really don't know that it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, if I know, even if I borrow a few courages from the slave maid, the slave and maid will not dare." The palace maid didn't care about the pain on her face, and knelt on the ground vigorously and kowtowed again and again.
Li Guo Palace Rules: All the princes and princesses, except for the queen who can accept their gifts, the rest of the concubines are no matter how noble their status is, and they must also ask for peace when they see the prince and princess.
The Snow Emperor Concubine asked the eunuch who was following her to take the palace maid down, don't get in the way of her eyes, and then turned around and went back to the Concubine Snow Pavilion. Along the way, I have been thinking about what I offended this highness, and I actually gave her a dismount as soon as I came, but I couldn't think of anything wrong with me.
The people in the palace said that Her Royal Highness the princess treats the palace people very well, and generally does not get angry with the palace people, but it was the maid who spoke today, but this highness is obviously coming at her.
Cher couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up.
Weiyang Palace, inner room.
"Queen Mother, I heard that you have been in poor health lately? Why don't you ask the doctor to take a closer look? What if this is the root of the disease? Xian Chen's soft and weak voice spoke, and the queen felt comfortable in her heart.
The queen gently patted the back of Xian Chen's hand, "Chen'er doesn't have to worry, it's all old problems, it's nothing serious." It's you, this is going to Jiangnan, but if there is something interesting happening, I will listen to the queen mother. The queen looked at her daughter, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and a smile filled her whole face, but it diluted a little of the paleness of her illness.
"There is no interesting thing, but Jiangnan and his party have made Chen'er gain a lot of knowledge. Mo Chenghuang's family ...... "Xianchen told the queen about the Mo family, how the underground palace they built was splendid, and how Mo Chenghuang was designed by Lan Weishu, took out money to buy medicine, and then solved the matter of repairing the dam due to flooding.
Hearing the smile on the corners of the queen's eyebrows and eyes, she also talked about how lively Gao Qianyue's temperament was, and the queen bluntly said that she must meet this little girl when she has time.
"Since the Snow Emperor Concubine entered the palace, Niangniang has not been so happy for a long time, or Your Highness, you have a way!" Huayi came in from outside, and when he saw the smile on the queen's face, Huayi couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Painting!" The queen snorted, Huayi stopped talking, put down the things in her hand, and hurried out of the inner room.
"Mother, you ......" Xianchen wanted to speak and stopped, the queen mother has not been as fond of her as her father since she was a child, she has always been afraid of the queen mother, and she dared to be so presumptuous in the past two years.
"It's okay, the woman of the Snow Emperor has nothing to bother your mother and me, don't listen to the nonsense that the painting intends to talk about, there are so many concubines in your father's palace, I can't help but be jealous one by one, and I have to be angry sooner or later." The queen's tone didn't sound unusual, and the expression on her face didn't change at all, and Xian Chen was relieved.
Sitting in Weiyang Palace and chatting with the queen for a while, Xianchen saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and left. When I returned to Lanyue Villa, it was already in the middle of the moon, the lights in the villa were bright, and the good words and freehand had been waiting outside the village for a long time. The good words were solemn and calm, although she was also excited to see Xianchen this time, but it was not as directly hanging on her body as freehand, and gave her a strong hug.
"Woo, Your Highness, you can be regarded as coming back, and you won't take me with you when you go to Jiangnan, look at it, you have lost weight." Freehand got down from Xianchen's body, looked left and right, and said that Jiangnan had no one to take care of her, and she lost a lot of weight.
