Chapter 17 The eldest daughter of the Green Palace
Empress Xu listened for a long time, then shook her head incessantly, and motioned for the princess to turn back. The lady tugged her mother and walked up the steps cautiously.
"When she was a kid, she wasn't like anyone."
"No, she was like her father when she was a child. Erchen has never doubted Liudi's life experience, but his mother, don't mention this matter in the future, the Xu family also asked her mother to remember to remind her, Erchen has a hunch, if anyone questions the princess's life experience in the future, it is ill-intentioned, how can the father tolerate it. "The princess's mind has always been sensitive, and it is precisely because of this cowardice caused by this delicacy that her father is very dissatisfied.
"My son has a point."
The mother and daughter stood in the open place and looked out.
Most of the people who questioned the life history of the six women have died so far, and looking at the face that looks like the emperor, the courtiers' suspicions can be swallowed back into their stomachs, and they are speechless.
Empress Xu looked at the sky in the distance, it was still a sunny day, and in a blink of an eye, layers of clouds rose from the top of the mountain. It seems like the sky is about to change. "Let's go back to the palace."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the war in Beisai intensified, and the second reinforcements sent by the imperial court swore to march under the leadership of Pi Liben. Lin'an Chang Dynasty is still held, Emperor Yuan You does not dare to have a trace of laxity in government affairs, every day with illness to ascend to the palace, in his spare time, several princesses often accompany him, Yuan Lingjun also occasionally enters the palace to meet, and Emperor Yuan You to learn piano skills, or play a few games of Liubo, father and daughter have not changed the way of getting along, and as in the past, they do not speculate, and often anger others, but under the persuasion of Mao Sheng, they quickly calmed down and took a step back.
Today's weather is good, after the release of the court, Emperor Yuanyou ordered the chamberlain to move the book into the Changji Palace, relying on a few studies of the art of war, Yan Jieyu came in and was troubled for a long time, and saw that the emperor really didn't have the heart to deal with it before leaving.
In the Yuan You Dynasty, there were not many concubines in the Hou Dynasty, and now there is only one newcomer in the palace, the Yan family. Yan's appearance is delicate, uninformal, and a little similar to Mrs. Mulan back then, since entering the palace, she has won the sacred heart, although the title is under the nine concubines, the expenses are comparable to Huo Guifei. This is not enough to show that the emperor loves her very much, but now she is the only concubine who walks around frequently in the palace.
After the death of Princess Yongguo, Huo Guifei became more and more silent, either chanting scriptures all day long, or sitting in front of the Buddha shrine to copy Buddhist scriptures, pure body and mind, ignoring the distractions of the world, and there is a tendency to pin the remnants of life on the things of gods and Buddhas. It seems that Huo Guifei has been completely disheartened by the emperor's family, and her relationship with Emperor Yuanyou disappeared with Ling Yan's death. This palace is really getting more and more deserted.
Empress Xu came to the Changji Hall surrounded by palace people.
"Your Majesty is actually interested in looking at the art of war." Empress Xu glanced at the books piled up in several cases, and stroked the cover with a smile.
"When I was young, I was determined to be a teacher who educates children, and later I fought in the same room, in order to save my life, I became a general in the war, and I made people and heroes."
The crisis in Beisai has been alleviated, Emperor Yuanyou's health is almost good, his mood is happy, and his face has returned to the color of health, and the queen talks about the achievements of his youth with a little self-satisfaction, but there are no generals in the imperial court, and he can't lead the troops to recruit in person, so he can't help but be a little bored.
"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and if Your Majesty becomes a teacher, wouldn't the beauties who love heroes cry to death." Empress Xu thought she had said a witty word, and she leaned forward and backwards with a smile, and after realizing that the emperor had lost her manners, she hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her lips to hide her smile, and her face became strange.
She had seen Lady Mulan's rudeness countless times. Mrs. Mulan is the most unruly woman in the palace, she laughs when she wants, and rides wherever she wants, she doesn't care about being polite and humble at all.
Every time I remember that unpleasant and warm past, my body will ache like a cone, why did that happen? If she doesn't die, the formed child will also come to earth...... The smile on Emperor Yuanyou's cheeks was fleeting, and his lips trembled slightly.
"What's wrong with Majesty?" Empress Xu looked at him calmly.
The queen's hair was a little disheveled, and the sideburns pulled out the excess strands, and Emperor Yuanyou raised his hand to pull the messy hair behind his ears.
Empress Xu was stunned, and a faint mist rose in her eyes.
Emperor Yuanyou's gaze fell back to the scroll again, and slowly suppressed the coughing sound in his throat. The body is getting worse and worse, and it seems that if you don't accept old age, you must admit that you are indeed old. But the princess has not yet been able to supervise the country, and he can't relax yet.
Empress Xu, who didn't know the emperor's thoughts, stroked the golden jade stacked bun, and a trace of warmth crossed her heart. Since you have chosen an easy path, perseverance will eventually be rewarded. She stared at the purple gold incense burner on the incense table, thoughtful.
The chamberlain came in to tell the lady, and the lady came to see the driver.
The emperor and queen each tidied up their feelings, sat upright, and the princess Yuanying hurriedly walked up to the hall, pulled her clothes and bowed to her parents.
Yuan Ying wore a licorice yellow flying dragon cloud pattern silk brocade official uniform, curled up a double mustache, decorated with a dragon and phoenix bead crown, and a woman's makeup. Yuan Ying is nineteen this year, and she still looks a little younger than her peers.
"Where did the lady come from?" Emperor Yuan Yu asked.
"My son's homework is finished, and my grandfather is allowed to leave school early, and my son ...... I first came to the palace to visit my father. ”
Yuan Yingre was sweating and sat down across from her mother. Her eyebrows are quiet and gentle, and her eyes are often curved as bright as stars, and she resembles her mother, Queen Xu.
"Academically, Taifu is very tolerant and generous to you, maybe I should talk to him." Emperor Yuanyou stroked the short whiskers on his chin, and his other hand tapped on several sides, tapping his five fingers gently, which was his habitual action when thinking.
After hearing these words, Yuan Ying gritted her teeth nervously. The maid handed over the silk scarf, and Yuan Ying gently wiped her face, but the newly oozing sweat rolled down again, and she couldn't wipe it off.
"Seeing that you are so hot, why do you have to run here. Where have all the people in the East Palace gone? Empress Xu looked disgusted.
Yuan Ying shook his head, and finally dried up his sweat, "My father misunderstood, Taifu treats his children very strictly, and he is willing to go to school only after thorough analysis of every political commentary." Seeing that his father's expression was no longer strict, he continued, "...... I think that in the past, when my son was still a princess, I studied with my sisters in the Guozijian prison, and Ba Di Jiu Di was most afraid of him, and when he heard that he was going to slap his back the next day, he would cry in fright. ”
"And that kind of thing."
"Well, it's true." Seeing that Emperor Yuan You really didn't mean to blame her, Yuan Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Queen Xu, "I just heard the imperial mother laughing, I haven't seen the imperial mother so happy for a long time." ”
"It's just a joke to amuse your father. Yuan Niang, where is the East Palace now? ”
"It's been half a month since my husband and sister-in-law set off from the East China Sea, and they should have already passed Changshan, so if you calculate carefully, you will be able to arrive in Lin'an in a few days." Talking about her husband who was about to return, Yuan Ying was full of joy, and red clouds flew on her cheeks, so she ignored her father's expression that gradually became cold.
Emperor Yuanyou doesn't like the horses in the East Palace, and everyone knows it.
The East Palace Horse Mu Liangzuo is the youngest son of Mu Dazai, his grandmother Xu is the aunt of the queen's in-laws, often takes Mu Liangzuo into the palace and the queen as a companion, Mu Liangzuo and the princess have known each other since childhood, the two have no guesses, they are in love, they are one of the few childhood sweethearts in the royal family, and Queen Xu also intends to promote the marriage of the two. In May last year, Emperor Yuan You and Empress Xu held a national marriage for the two, the two were newly married, Emperor Yuan You sent Mu Liangzuo with Hui Ma to the East China Sea to supervise the coastal defense, want to temper and polish, Mu Liangzuo did not read the emperor's good intentions, full of complaints and complaints, Emperor Yuan You heard about it and was even more displeased with the children of this family who had been shaded by the ancestors.
Among the three concubines, Hui Yan is generous and loyal, Emperor Yuanyou is the most at ease with him, Li Ciming is clever and unforgivable for deceiving the princess, Mu Liangzuo is even more stupid and ignorant, I only hope that this trip to the East China Sea can make him gain and change, establish the prestige of the king in front of the ministers as soon as possible, and don't cause trouble to the princess.
Emperor Yuanyou gritted his teeth, picked up the military book and continued to read.
The maple trees in Beigong Mountain are one after another, as if they are dyed red with blood, rendering most of the sky.
After three years, Lin'an is not human, the original appointment of the long pavilion is not there, the fan that tells the story of Beigong Mountain is missing, but Lin'an is as prosperous as ever.
In the end, prosperity only belongs to the city of Lin'an, Yuan Lingjun bid farewell to the poor life in Baboon Village, and said goodbye to the former Qiē, but she still remembers the scene of eating wild mushrooms every day and picking up lamps to learn characters at night. Fan Jiang often taught her that there was no distinction between respect and inferiority, and repeatedly warned her about the difference between heaven and the common people, and that in-depth contact with the commoners would greatly damage the prestige of the monarch. Yuan Lingjun always remembers.
"My lord, it's not too early."
With a crying face, the chamberlain tilted the jug over to show Yuan Lingjun, reminding her that she had drunk a whole jug of wine.
"Eventful! What is this? Yuan Lingjun pouted, snatched the wine jug, and stuffed it into the arms of the little boy beside him, "Lin'an's wine is hard to drink, far less sweet than Baling's." Lianying, sell another pot. ”
She was not drunk at all, and waved her sleeves generously, instructing the well-behaved and pleasing Lian Ying to go downstairs to sell her wine.
This time she returned to Fengguo, she wanted to take away the jade-topped black horse, and ordered Yan's adopted son Lian Ying to stay in the princess's mansion of Zhenguo, and Han Yan was ordered to accompany him and raise him to be the real descendant of the princess's mansion.
Thinking of what Han Yan said, Yuan Lingjun calmed down for a day, and slapped Xiao Ji fiercely, and the waiter almost didn't jump up.
