Chapter 151: A Long Farewell
When he entered the Fengyang Pavilion, Tongyang was already waiting in the palace, and he was anxious to come and go. It was to look at King Chong who walked into the palace, Tongyang, who had mixed feelings in his heart, couldn't find words, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet and then looked at King Chong, and only called after a while.
"Fifth brother."
Just such a light call, the tears could not be stopped, but slipped down the cheeks. It's rare to see the last time I saw Tongyang crying, of course King Chong was distressed in his heart, and he immediately greeted the sister who threw himself into his arms, and then said: "Why did you cry when you were so alive?" I'm not coming back, don't cry. There was a little more softness in the words, but there was no indifference to others when entering the palace and abiding by the palace etiquette.
King Chong didn't want her to be sad and weeping, this matter should be clear to Tongyang, but now that the separation of more than ten years can be reunited, how can she not be happy in her heart? Even if King Chong had already said it, Tongyang's tears still couldn't be stopped, so he raised his hand to wipe his tears with his sleeve and then looked at King Chong, wiping his tears while smiling and saying: "Fifth brother is right, it's a festive thing to come back rarely, why did you cry." Just like that, the tears that wept with joy were wiped away, and a pair of starry eyes were slightly red, without the arrogance of weekdays, Tongyang at this time was an ordinary woman who had been with her relatives for a long time.
After wiping away his tears, he hurriedly retreated from King Chong's arms, and then looked carefully, and after looking at it, Tongyang choked up and said, "The fifth brother has lost weight and is old. ”
The prince who was sassy back then has now been a lot of vicissitudes, the fine lines between the eyebrows have long been carved into the eyebrows, and the appearance is no longer the fluttering state in the memory, but it is a mature and stable mulberry state, the stubble on the cheeks has not been completely shaved clean, and the hand is slightly tightened when stroked. is now such a weathered appearance, coupled with the dress that has not yet had time to take off, Tongyang's heart touched a little, and the tears that he finally stopped were red again because of those words.
Tongyang's heart was painful and bitter, but her pain was nothing to Chongwang, and she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Tongyang's eyes. King Chong said: "The man is ambitious in all directions, and it is the responsibility of the general to protect the family and defend the country, so how can he lose weight." After the words fell, he looked at Tongyang, slightly relaxed his eyebrows, and then met her tearful eyes. King Chong continued: "As for this old age, more than ten years have passed, and it is also appropriate to be old. ”
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye in the world, and now it is time to get together, but the time that has passed has been lost in the middle of the year. In a trance, it was gone. Chongwang didn't feel anything, but such words made her sad a little bit for Tongyang, and the sourness in her heart couldn't be stopped, it was rare for Chongwang to be recalled to Kyoto, and it was this rare gathering for Tongyang to endure and restrain himself, and he didn't want to spoil this rare reunion because of his tears. When he held back his tears and then turned around to wipe away the tears, Tongyang turned to a smile and said.
"It's rare for the fifth brother to go back to Kyoto, look at what I'm talking about, and what I'm talking about getting old, the fifth brother will always be the brother in my memory as far as Tongyang is concerned. It won't get old, and there won't be any side. He said these words with a smile, although he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were still full of distress. It was also not said that after speaking, he reached out to the sleeve of King Chong and then staggered to give way, Tongyang said.
"Look, I forgot to ask the fifth brother to sit down while patronizing, but don't stand so stupidly, the fifth brother quickly sit down." Before the words were finished, the person had already pulled King Chong into the palace, and then pulled him to let him fall to the throne. When it was time to ask someone to sit down at the table, Tongyang asked: "Yesterday I heard that the fifth brother was in Kyoto today, and I heard that the fifth brother had entered the palace early in the morning, but Tongyang was waiting in the palace early, how could the fifth brother come to see Tongyang at this hour." ”
This wait made her anxious. Now that I saw King Chong, I wanted to inquire, and after asking, King Chong replied: "I entered the palace and went to the Yanying Palace to pay homage to His Majesty, but I was late because I said a lot of things." The words lagged behind Tong Yang, and then replied: "The fifth brother is stationed in Bayi, and the return of this trip should also be given to the imperial brother first." Even if the same male son is the most arbitrary, but she is also clear about this courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and she did not complain at the moment but understood a sentence. It was after this deep voice of response that he returned to his thoughts and continued with Yang.
"This matter is your man's business, even if you enter my Fengyang Pavilion, don't mention it, let's not say these boring words on the side, the fifth brother should taste the meal prepared by Tongyang first?" The words were just a moment of deep sink, a little sink, but a moment, when it was sinking, it immediately returned to its original color, and then asked in a slightly raised voice.
Chongwang returned to Beijing is the most happy when the eldest princess of Tongyang, that is, a whole night of sleepless, this morning also got up, after getting up and freshening up, then went into the small kitchen to prepare a qiē food for Chongwang, when every subtlety is to pay attention, is worried about which place to do not do properly wronged brother.
It was already properly prepared, so it was natural to ask King Chong to taste it, and after speaking, he immediately looked at the palace people serving on his side, and when he saw that the harem people suddenly understood and retreated to prepare.
However, after a while, the carefully prepared meal was already served to King Chong, and when the soup was put down, Tongyang hurriedly said: "This is also dry and tight in my mouth when I come back from Yanying Palace, and the fifth brother will taste these three sets of duck first." ”
When the words fell, he took the silk handkerchief and immediately lifted the lid of the cup, and when the lid was opened, it was fragrant, and the delicious breath was inhaled into his nose, and Tongyang smiled and served a bowl for King Chong. Took the soup bowl handed to him, scooped the spoon and drank a sip of soup, and suddenly the fresh smell of wax fragrance was repelled in the mouth and tongue, that is, between the lips and teeth were the delicious taste of ducks and birds, King Chong couldn't help but sigh.
"This soup is so delicious that people are reluctant to put a spoon when they eat it." It is also that this soup is really delicious, but it also makes Chongwang happy, that is, after eating the soup in the bowl and then taking a bowl by himself, it is to see Chongwang so happy, Tongyang couldn't help but smile and said: "These three sets of duck taste should be fresh and fragrant, and the fifth brother will be so happy, you must know that the preparation of these three sets of duck is also time-consuming and laborious." It is the ingredients to take the best duck and duck and vegetable pigeon, three birds to take the bone of the wild duck set in the duck, vegetable pigeon set and wild duck, in the golden mushroom delicacies to fill the belly of the vegetable pigeon, when it is such three sets of boiling to get such a mellow taste. The duck is fat and tender, the wild duck is fragrant, the vegetable pigeon is fine and crispy, and the nourishment is the best. ”
Even when the words fell, King Chong couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at the bottom of the bowl that was left, but couldn't help but say: "But I never thought that the things in this bowl were so energy-consuming." After speaking, Tongyang responded: "One of the qiē food and clothing in this palace should be painstaking and laborious, but these three sets of ducks are the cooks of the Shangshi Bureau, and they are made to serve the imperial brother's supplement." But I never thought that the imperial brother thought it was cumbersome, but he also ordered the Shang Food Bureau not to spend these meaningless thoughts. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw King Chong raise his head to look at her, and then asked: "Since His Majesty thinks it is cumbersome, how can he appear in the Fengyang Pavilion?" Wei was puzzled when it was an inquiry, and as soon as the inquiry fell, he saw Tongyang smiling.
The smile couldn't help but soften a little. Tongyang said: "The imperial brother is afraid that the process is cumbersome, but I really like its fresh fragrance, and it is also because I am happy that the imperial brother will reward me with these three sets of duck cooks. But today, the fifth brother returned to Kyoto, and he wanted to serve this excellent soup to the fifth brother to replenish his body. So I ordered the cook to cook. ”
That is the chef of Liqing's royal family, but because Tongyang is happy that the set of dishes he made is the whole person is rewarded to Tongyang, I have to sigh that Liqing is still extremely favored by this imperial sister, when he moved his eyes wordlessly, and then saw and heard that King Chong said: "Your Majesty treats you, and you really care." It was also after the words that Tongyang smiled even more happily, and his eyebrows jumped and Tongyang responded: "I have to say, the imperial brother treats me really well." Even there was a little smile in his words, that is, this smile was behind Tong Yang Fu is said.
"Today, it's not that Fifth Brother Yu said these side things, this soup has already been drunk. The fifth brother tasted the others. With the three sets of ducks served up, the other meals are also one by one into the dormitory, these are all Tongyang's thoughts, Chongwang should be to taste one by one, but also after tasting it, he suddenly saw that the palace attendant offered a thing, it was this last thing to make Chongwang touch his heart, but put down the silver chopsticks and then stared at it.
The position of the enshrined is placed in front of King Chong, that is, after the release of King Chong's eyes also fell, speechless but looking directly, it is this kind of vision that makes Tongyang smile. The smile was a little light, and Tongyang suddenly asked, "Fifth brother, do you remember this pastry?" When asked, King Chong's jaw said, "When you remember." ”
The thing offered is not a rare thing, but it is an ordinary mung bean crisp, but this mung bean crisp is the love of King Chong. When she was young, her mother often made this mung bean cake. Because it is a taste that he is used to, for Chongwang, this mung bean crisp is the key to outlining memories. couldn't help but remember the past search, King Chong looked at it speechlessly, but Tongyang on the side looked at this scene and then said loudly.
"This is the fifth brother's favorite, but do you want to try it?" As soon as the words fell, I saw King Chong reach out and take a piece, and then tasted it carefully. also waited for the piece of mung bean crisp to enter his mouth, and then Tongyang asked, "How does the fifth brother feel?" After the inquiry, I didn't see King Chong respond, but he just nodded in response to the inquiry, and he also saw King Chong nodding in response to Tongyang and said: "But no matter how skillful the chef in this palace is, after all, he is still half as good as the mother concubine, and the fifth brother will be settled." ”
The taste in the memory can never be replaced by very people, Chongwang's speechlessness and Yang should be clear, but this heart is clear but changed Chongwang's eyes, first looked at it without words, and then looked at the mung bean crisp, and then took a piece of Chongwang and said: "The mother concubine made it is incomparable to ordinary people, but this mung bean crisp is excellent for me." ”
That is, the words fell into the mouth no matter how often, King Chong said: "I am now a general, stationed at the border pass is to sleep and eat with the soldiers, although the annual allowance of the imperial court is sufficient, but in a closed place like Bayi, sometimes the grain and grass cannot arrive on time in a stormy day, that is, it is common to eat wild vegetables and tree roots and drink ice and snow meltwater. I'm used to such days, and this time I returned to Beijing to look at these delicacies, which made me feel unaccustomed. For me, this mung bean crisp is enough, but how can it be done. ”
I have always known in my heart that a place like Bayi is definitely not a good place to exist, but now listening to Chongwang say this, it makes Tongyang feel more and more painful in his heart, even if Chongwang says it lightly, but Tongyang still hurts her heart, she really can't imagine how the days of the wild vegetable tree roots can make people live, that is, the words are no longer words. Suddenly, it was quiet, even if it was not the same as the eyes of Tongyang, King Chong could guess the distress on her face now, so he said.
"Those days are very hard, but I'm used to it, and it's good to stay in that kind of place. This time, His Majesty also made it clear that he wanted to send other generals to take over Bayi for me, but I refused to thank him. ”
When he heard that Liqing intended to let King Chong return to Beijing, Tongyang was happy, but the joy in his heart was not yet exhausted, but he asked King Chong to take a word to extinguish, that is, the joy dispersed when it was an inquiry, and after asking, King Chong replied that he had long been accustomed to it, and now he was not used to returning to Beijing, so he bowed and thanked him. Knocking on the grace and refusing is the meaning of Chongwang, but Tongyang has a headache in his heart, when his eyes are slightly red, he bites his lip, and Tongyang hates it.
"This time, after all, it is the fault of the auxiliary general, and there is always a **** who should ask them to repay several times." Mentioning this matter is full of hatred, and the hatred for the auxiliary general is difficult to eliminate for a lifetime, why does Tongyang resent the auxiliary general so much, Chongwang is also clear in his heart, and he replied at the moment.
"I can't blame anyone for this matter, who is wrong, as for this multiple, forget it." As soon as the words ended, Tongyang immediately replied: "Forget it? How can you forget it, fifth brother, your more than ten years of suffering, is it possible to forget it like this? Cheapened him for nothing? Even the fifth brother, you can not hold any grudges against this, but I can't do it, even if I meet Concubine Hou Xian in this harem, my heart is also full of hatred. It's his son who is not as good as others, who can he blame if he has no life? If you have the courage to go to the ring, you have to have the courage to send your life together, and you lost your life because you have no ability, but in the end, you blame others, which is shameless. ”
Chongwang mistakenly killed the only son of the auxiliary general in the ring, which was not considered a crime, but because of the hatred of the auxiliary general, he was sent to the land of Ba Yi, and suffered for more than ten years. The more I thought about it, the deeper the hatred in my heart became, but King Chong obviously had no point in doing such a thing, but when he saw Tongyang's face, he was angry, and King Chong said.
"Otherwise, his son will die at my hands after all, and he will blame me as well, and besides, why I went to Bayi, the reason for which is clear in your heart. The general of the auxiliary country finally helped His Majesty to ascend the throne, and he also held a lot of power in his hands, if he was angry and resentful of His Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji, it would be unprofitable, and it was my intention to go here, and I was willing, and you should not hold a grudge. As for Concubine Hou Xian......" was a slight pause, and then said: "As for Concubine Hou Xian, don't be in trouble everywhere in the harem, listen to the fifth brother, it will not be beneficial to you for a long time." ”
The power of the DPRK and China is too divided, after all, it is still not like this, only because Tongyang is his only weakness, so Chongwang will be so cautious in her affairs, but his caution is useless for Tongyang, and suddenly he looked at Chongwang coldly, Tongyang suddenly said: "The fifth brother is worried that the auxiliary general is also looking at me unhappily, and the imperial brother will fall into a situation of last resort?" Seeing King Chong looking at her, Tongyang continued: "If that's the case, fifth brother, it's too much." ”
The words were actually hidden, when the eyebrows were locked and the eyes sank, although Chongwang still did not speak, but the question in his eyes was clear, and he looked at each other again, and Tongyang smiled.
looked at King Chong with a smile, laughed, and before he could say anything, he laughed and said Tongyang: "I'm afraid that I'll also get into trouble?" Could it be that the fifth brother thinks that the royal brother is still the royal brother back then? Auxiliary General or Auxiliary General of the Year? (To be continued.) )
