Article 188. Chapter 9 The People's Women Inquire the King
She walked out of the court, surrounded by trees and a quiet and unique landscape, with the occasional breeze and the bell of the bird at the corner of the eaves immediately jingling.
Walking hot, with a thin layer of sticky sweat on her back, she turned back to the well, scooped up the water in it, lifted her sleeve and wiped her face, and exhaled contentedly.
Just as he was about to return to the clean room, a woman wearing embroidered cloth and her hair wrapped in a cloth towel came into view, holding a broom and carefully cleaning up the fallen leaves.
Seeing that she didn't dress like a person from the temple, I couldn't help but be curious. "Is it an old man sent from the palace?" She asked a bhikshuni.
Xiao Ni shook his head, "It's a family behind the temple." Listen to the host, she was in trouble so far, the whole person is like a lost soul, almost no thoughts, seems to have suffered a heavy blow, Uncle Shi enlightened her, and saw that she had nowhere to take in for a while, and then she settled down behind the mountain, to make a living from farming, in order to repay Uncle Shi's kindness, but often come to the temple to help serve incense. ”
It turned out to be a woman from an ordinary family, and it was difficult to know about Entu. Yuan Lingjun glanced at it twice, turned around and walked to the path, where Kunjiao was looking for her under the eaves.
Just as she was about to call her, a voice sounded from behind her, "-Excuse me?" Yuan Lingjun turned his head to look, but it was the woman he had just seen.
The woman took two steps closer, stopped in front of the flower, and looked at her with her face raised.
Yuan Lingjun's eyes widened in shock, and his breath was held. The woman wrapped in coarse cloth clothes was beautiful and beautiful, and if it weren't for those rough and old hands, she couldn't believe that she was a peasant woman standing in front of her.
"You, you're the emperor?" The woman's look of disbelief was full of disbelief and questioning in her eyes.
Yuan Lingjun didn't know why she asked this question, and she was so straightforward and bold, but she had an inexplicable affection for this woman, and finally nodded.
The woman's eyes quickly flushed with moisture, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Which emperor is Your Majesty?" Can you, can you tell ...... Folk woman, which palace concubine is His Majesty's biological mother? Does Majesty have a sister named 琭? Seeing that Yuan Lingjun frowned slowly, he suddenly realized that he was out of shape, quickly tucked away the corners of his eyes, hurriedly waved his hand, and said incoherently, "The women have been on the mountain for too long, and they don't know much about things there, I don't know which emperor is in power, but I heard them say that the emperor has long since abdicated...... The folk woman made a mistake, rude, rude...... Please forgive the women for their offenses and allow them to retire. With that, she grabbed her broom and was about to retreat.
Seeing that she was rude, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was calm and unhurried when she retreated, and the etiquette was in place, and she was obviously familiar with court etiquette. A peasant woman was actually familiar with court etiquette, which made Yuan Lingjun a little suspicious.
"It's the second year of Kaifeng, in front of me is Emperor Hongjia Yuanying, I am the sixth daughter of the emperor, and my biological mother is Feng Shuyuan, as for the person the lady asked, there is no such person in the royal family."
When she had finished answering, she saw the woman's back tremble slightly, which aroused her curiosity, and she couldn't help but want to come forward and ask. Kunjiao suddenly came up from behind her, "Your Majesty, the list has been sorted out, Lin Xiang asks to see you." ”
"Okay, let's get over it." Commanded Kunjiao, the woman was gone.
The woman's origin is unknown, so she summoned Fu Piao to ask him to check it carefully. She made up her mind and walked up the steps.
In the next ten days in the temple, he was busy sending several groups of palace people, but the peasant woman did not appear again, and Yuan Lingjun gradually forgot about it.
After lunch, listen to the presiding lecture, then quietly sleep for a while, and wake up with the book to read.
These books were all stored in Chen Juna by Qu Yi before he was taken out of the palace, and the books were sorted out with the strategy of peace and stability, including the establishment and improvement of the official position and legal system. Every time he reads it, Yuan Lingjun will have a picture of Qu Yi lying in front of the desk and writing hard, in the carriage, in the dormitory of the palace, every corner is full of his diligent and busy figure, his gentle and delicate gaze, his silence and tolerance, behind these helplessness are all her unreasonable trouble.
A person's efforts are exhaustive, Fan Jiang is like this, Qu Yi is like this. Maybe he chose to leave, but also indirectly forced himself to grow. She understands his difficulties and understands his hard work, but whether he will return or not is up to him, but she has no confidence in herself.
There was a sound at the door, Yuan Lingjun wiped the corner of his eyes, and his gaze fell between the lines again.
Fu Lingding pushed the door in, his soul was unwilling, and his face was haggard.
She has never seen him like this, and in her impression, Fu Lingding is a calm and resourceful person. Yuan Lingjun put the book down, "You went down the mountain, is it fun?" ”
Fu Lingding didn't answer, "Your Majesty, the villain's brother is sick and wants to take leave...... The palace rules are in front, and the villain knows that it is difficult, and he does not dare to force it. ”
She didn't even speak, so it was really good to have a broken face. "It's not impossible." Yuan Lingjun squinted his gaze and stared at his expression.
As she expected, Fu Lingding's eyes lit up, and her voice raised excitedly, "Your Majesty agreed." Ling Ding thanked His Majesty. ”
Yuan Lingjun held his cheeks and said seriously: "It's not interesting to go back to the palace, I decided to go to the nearby counties and counties, but I can't go with great fanfare, it's enough to bring a dozen people...... Let's go together, and when we get to the bottom of the mountain, we will go home and take care of Brother Ling. ”
"Thank you." Fu Lingding happily bowed her head on the futon, got up and withdrew.
Seeing others happy, she is also comfortable. Yuan Lingjun pursed his lips and smiled, spread the book on his lap, and the moment he withdrew his gaze, he was suddenly attracted by an object on the futon, and walked over to pick it up in the palm of his hand.
An intricately shaped jade ......
Yuan Lingjun pushed the door out, and Fu Lingding had already walked away. She held the jade and traced the patterns on it, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. How can it be a dragon pattern?
"Your Majesty has something to tell the little maid?" Kunjiao looked strange.
"It's just going to come out and breathe." With that, she went into the house. Behind him, Kunjiao's face became even more strange.
Yuan Lingjun stayed in the clean room all afternoon and never came out, and after Yan Shi, he asked Lin Xiang to come, and she told him about the plan to go down the mountain and arrange the matter.
Hearing that she only took a dozen people on the road, Lin Zhen disagreed, now that there has been a year of regime change, and some of the rebel ministers are still at large, it may not be safe for the emperor to go out on patrol.
Yuan Ling disagreed, "This matter is carried out in secret, and no one will know, unless there are details mixed in it and deliberately expose my whereabouts." Huo Min had been punished by her for finding a reason to go to Lin Yuan, and she dug out a pair of Fan Jiang's eyes. (To be continued.) )
