138. Sweep the snow and cook tea
Emperor Zhaoyuan's body was already in deficit, and after holding on for so many years, it had already come to an end. Now after abdicating, he wants to build a Heshun Garden in the inner courtyard of the palace, and when Wei Ji Chang gets married in the future, and has a few more white and fat little imperial grandchildren, he can play with Queen Liu and take care of his grandson.
Su Xi listened to what the emperor's father-in-law said. Emperor Zhaoyuan was preparing to abdicate, and was ordering the people of the Ministry of Rites to write an edict.
Wei Feng couldn't come back tonight, so he bothered Father-in-law Chang to come to the ward to call himself. After she sent Chang Gonggong away, she stood under the porch for a while with a stove in hand.
In this life, Emperor Zhaoyuan abdicated a little early. She remembered that when Wei Feng ascended the throne in her previous life, it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and now she was born two or three months earlier. But after thinking about it, she lived again, and many things changed, Wei Yuan rebelled, and Zhaoyuan Dili was powerless, so this change seemed logical.
The next day, the edict of Emperor Zhaoyuan's abdication was really drafted. After announcing to the world, it is necessary to prepare for the enthronement of the new emperor.
Wei Feng has not yet returned from the palace, and Su Xi has always had a sense of unreality. She ordered Tingyan to bring her own green Qiqin, sat on the couch near the window, thought about it, and casually played a song "Honghu Zhi" taught by Mr. Gu back then. Maybe it's because I haven't touched the piano for too long, and the fingering is rusty. If Mr. Gu hears it, he will definitely say that she has lost the face of her teacher.
The two little guys were quite face-saving, sitting on the opposite side honestly, looking up with a small round face, stretching out their fleshy palms and looking at Su Xi happily, and saying things that others couldn't understand.
Su Xi saw that the two of them were happy, so she played another song "Return Back". At this time, I have found some feelings, probably because the front of this song is a little depressed, the two doughnuts are not laughing or making trouble, listening to it, there is a mist in the big eyes.
Su Xi saw that his brother's childish mouth was flattened, as if he was about to cry, so he quickly stopped, hugged his soft and fleshy little body, and said while coaxing: "Don't cry, don't cry, let's go outside to play, okay?" A-Niang will take you and your brother to pick snow. ”
This year's rain and snow have been exceptionally abundant, and it snowed again last night.
Su Xi likes to drink tea boiled with snow water, which is sweet and sweet, with an endless aftertaste, and at this time of year, he will pick an urn of snow and keep it for future tea.
Zhiyan lay on Su Xi's shoulder, and her pink little face rubbed Su Xi's cheek, I don't know if I understood her words, anyway, I stopped crying.
Su Xi cleaned up and took them to the backyard. Listening to the geese and listening to the crane respectively hugged them and followed behind, Su Xi swept a little snow on the jade butterfly plum tree with his fingertips, turned around and lightly touched the tip of Zhiyan's nose, Zhiyan was cold, and shrunk into the swaddling clothes with a wrinkled little face. Su Xi chuckled and wiped the snowflakes from the tip of his nose with his thumb, worried that he and Zhiyu would freeze, and after a while, he asked Tingyan and Tinghe to take them back to the house first.
Su Xi held the small urn with a multicolored group pattern and said, "I'll go back later." ”
After the maid and her sons left, Su Xi continued to sweep the snow from the top layer of the plum tree branches on her tiptoes.
Immediately, I heard footsteps behind me. She thought it was to listen to the goose or listen to the crane come back, so she asked without looking back, "Did the childish words and childish words sleep?" They just saw the snow and put an extra layer of quilt on them, and I heard my mother say...... "The little doll is the hardest to get rid of when she is sick." That's why she watched them so closely.
But before he finished speaking, he was wrapped around his waist from behind by a pair of arms, and then a voice came from the top of his head, low and mellow: "Why don't you care about me?" ”
Su Xi was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Wei Feng looking at him with a smile in his eyes. She almost couldn't hold the colorful urn in her hand, and asked curiously: "When did Cousin Tingzhou come back?" ”
"Just came back." Wei Feng took the small urn jar in her hand, she didn't sleep all night last night, and there was a light blue circle under her eyes. "I heard from the maid that you were picking snow here, so I came here." As she spoke, she lifted the little pot above her head and easily swept down the branch that she had just been out of reach.
Su Xi looked up at him, a little speechless. He looked like he was fine, and she wanted to hear what had happened last night, and she wanted to hear him say to herself.
The little girl's face clearly said "I'm curious", how could Wei Feng not see it. He held her hand, it was really cold, and coaxed: "It's too cold here, I'll talk about it later." ”
Su Xi pursed her lips and nodded. Seeing that the snow in the urn was almost collected, he didn't stay here for long, and after sweeping the snow from a few nearby jade butterfly plum trees, he followed Wei Feng back to the house. There was a warm earth dragon burning in the house, and the childish words and childish words fell asleep in the next room, Su Xi ordered the maid to bring the utensils for making tea, sat behind the small table with vermilion lacquer inlay, and while boiling snow water, he looked at the opposite side with his cheeks, and said, "Did cousin Tingzhou rest last night?" ”
Sure enough, Wei Feng shook his head.
Last night, Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't sleep all night in order to transfer the plane service, and he naturally didn't close his eyes. After announcing the edict this morning, he returned to the Jin Palace, and has not rested for twenty consecutive hours now.
Su Xi was a little distressed, thought for a moment and said, "You better go sleep for a while, and I'll call you in the evening." ”
"It doesn't matter." Wei Feng said, scratching her nose across a low table, "Drink the tea you brewed before going to sleep." ”
Su Xi not only can dance, play the piano and recite poetry, but also has some knowledge in the tea ceremony. It's just that since marrying Wei Feng, he has never had the opportunity to make tea.
Since Wei Feng said so, she didn't insist on driving him to sleep, and after the snow water boiled, she put in the white silver needle to skim off the foam on it. After the tea has boiled three times, the purple clay pot is padded with white gauze and poured into the cup.
Wei Feng held the teacup and didn't drink it in a hurry, but asked slowly, "What name do you think of in the future palace?" ”
Su Xi blinked, a little unable to react.
Wei Feng smiled and explained: "The queen mother is not dead, I don't think you should live in the Zhaoyang Palace, so let someone rebuild a palace behind the Xuanshu Palace, and it will be built in a few days, what name do you want to remember." ”
The Xuanmuro Hall was the emperor's dormitory. The palace that Wei Feng ordered to be rebuilt was only separated from the Xuanshu Hall by a hall.
Su Xi didn't expect him to move so fast, and hurriedly said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
The two were separated by a table, Wei Shizi was not used to such a long distance, and after drinking tea, he asked the maid to remove the table, and hugged Su Xi's waist and hugged her into his arms, which made him feel steady. He bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "It's okay, think slowly." ”
Su Xi twisted his body, knelt opposite Wei Feng, and tried to make eye level with him, "Cousin Tingzhou, what did Your Majesty say......"
Wei Feng's big hand wrapped her small hand, and said slowly: "The Yanguan and the cabinet ministers support me to ascend the throne in ten days." ”
Ten days later, neither early nor late. Su Xi nodded, suddenly remembered a question, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wei Feng raised her small chin and stared into her eyes: "What does the queen want to say to me?" ”
Su Xi slapped his hand away and said "not serious". Shaoqing, still couldn't help it, hooked his fingers, and asked softly: "After you ascend the throne, what will happen to the concubines in your majesty's harem?" ”
According to the rules of Dayan, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the concubines who had given birth to princes and princesses continued to stay in the palace and become concubines; Concubines who had been blessed by the emperor but had never given birth to children were sent to the royal monasteries. And then...... Those who have neither given birth to princes and princesses, nor have they been fortunate by the emperor, according to the new emperor's wishes, see whether they will be included in the harem or dismissed and return to their hometowns.
Su Xi fiddled with Wei Feng's fingers, a little sullen.
She can trust Wei Feng, but she can't trust those officials.
Wei Feng only has one wife of his own, and there is no connecting room, and after he ascends the throne, there will definitely be ministers who persuade him to accept the harem. He was in that position, and his foundation was not very stable at the beginning, but after a long time, could he really beat those ministers? She thought about it carefully and wanted to know how many concubines Wei Feng had accepted after he ascended the throne in her previous life, but she had no impression at all.
In her previous life, she didn't like Wei Feng, forget it. But in this life, knowing his goodness and being spoiled and loved by him, she selfishly didn't want to share this feeling with others.
Wei Feng saw the top of Su Xi's slumped head, a little funny, and twisted her little face, "What do you say?" ”
"Hmm......" hurts. Su Xi covered her cheeks and raised her head, her dark eyes rolled, and said, "Dismissed." ”
Wei Feng spoke very well, and curled his lips: "Okay." ”
Su Xi pursed the corners of her mouth and asked again: "Then what if the minister advises you to take a concubine?" ”
Wei Feng looked at her quietly, his thin lips slightly curved, neither answering nor expressing. Just when Su Xi's heart was cold, he reached out and nodded his side face, which meant-"Kiss me and I'll sue you." ”
Su Xi had never seen such a good person who would take advantage of the opportunity, pursed his pink lips, and reluctantly held his face and took a "chirp".
Wei Feng chuckled heavily. "Youyou, it's enough for you to torture me. A few more, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. ”
Su Xi pushed him away, this person was too bad to speak.
Wei Feng chuckled, kissed her eyes, and added, "I am willing to be tortured by you." ”
*
Although Wei Feng did not ascend the throne, he had to deal with the government every day.
Ten days later, the enthronement ceremony will be held. The day before, Su Xi and Zhiyan Zhiyu were taken to the palace, and before leaving, she went to Ji'an Hall to bid farewell to Wei Liankun, the king of Jin.
Wei Liankun was wearing a purple robe, no different from when Su Xi first married into the Jin Palace, except that there were a few more gray hairs on his sideburns. He looked at the grandson in Su Xi's arms, his face was not wavering, and only when Zhiyan reached out to ask his grandfather to hug him, he showed a slight emotion. He looked away and said, "If you want to leave, hurry up, so as not to delay the time to enter the palace." ”
Su Xi named his dormitory Wushuang Palace. The Wushuang Hall has not yet been built, and the furnishings in it are not complete, so she can only live in Wei Feng's dormitory first.
Wei Feng went to the Zhonghe Hall early in the morning to accept the worship of hundreds of officials and hold an enthronement ceremony.
Passing the jade seal, the honorable number, canonizing the queen, and worshiping the temple, after the matter is over, it is time to hold the lamp.
Wei Feng returned to the dormitory from the front, and saw from a distance that the oil lamp was burning in the hall, the light was dim, and a slender figure and the shadows of two little milk dolls were reflected in the window.
