Chapter 269: In the Imperial Garden—Table Love
Besides, Ling'er has been very unstable in her heart since Mama Wang left, which is obviously to come to test herself, but she doesn't know what her purpose is. She has a deep understanding of the palace battle, in the past, Emperor Xuanwen was seriously ill, and Concubine Wan's mother and daughter almost died in the hands of the queen. Today, I entered the palace with such an unjustified name, and I don't know what will happen, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, and the more I think about it, the more restless I become.
"Qin'er, how about going out with me, I haven't gone out since I entered the palace, and I'm very bored."
Qin'er was busy replacing the kettle in the room with boiling water, and when she heard the master say that she was going out, she hurriedly said: "Exactly, I should have moved around more, and I was interested in my body and mind." Seeing that Ling'er was wearing a thin piece, he turned around and took a scarlet cloak, "It's windy outside, and the nobleman's body is thin, so this one is enough." ”
Ling'er took a look at this cloak, which was made of high-quality palace materials, and the gold thread on it was particularly eye-catching, which showed that Emperor Hengqing specially sent it over. "This one is too eye-catching, why don't you change it again?"
Qin'er said worriedly: "The noble man has just arrived, and we only got this cloak, where can we change it?" ”
Ling'er is gone, the two of them arrived outside the door, the flowers in the yard have not fallen a lot for a few days, the swing is gently swaying under the shaking of a gust of autumn wind, and a few little palace maids don't know where to go at the moment, and it seems that there are few people here, and it is very cold.
Qin'er felt that the autumn breeze was a little cool, so she put her cloak on her without going out. The two of them went out of the door, all the way to the west, and Ling'er wondered if she remembered correctly, the west was where the imperial garden was located. It's not that far away. Although this palace is magnificent, it is inlaid with gold and silver, and the bright tile is glazed, all of which are lifeless things. People are even more indifferent to each other, and one more step or one more word may lead to unwarranted disasters. Sometimes the women in this palace are more affectionate with flowers and plants, but they are much more at ease than dealing with people.
It's late autumn, and the royal garden is still full of flowers, competing for beauty, which makes people feel the bleakness of autumn at all. Ling'er happily walked around and took a look. The gloom in my heart was swept away. In the ancients, there were people who called themselves hermits, and now it seems that they are the most enjoyable people in life. If you can get out alive one day, you must seal the Bihai Heavenly Palace on all sides, and only stay inside to play with flowers and plants. Live a happy life like a fairy.
At this time, several butterflies flew over. Butterflies are creatures. There is only one color in a year, and what you see at this moment is the kind of colored spots on a white background. Shuttling through thousands of flowers, it is so likable. On a whim, Ling'er lifted his breath and flew out. Today, I will definitely catch a few and put them indoors to add some life to my nest.
Qin'er was dumbfounded, since she didn't expect her master to have such kung fu. But after only a moment, he was anxious, how could the concubines in this palace have martial arts, and if they were seen by others, they would definitely not give up. Then he followed behind and shouted: "Stop quickly, be careful that breaking flowers and plants is a violation of the palace rules." ”
Where will Ling'er listen to her, she is playing in the mood, and she has the momentum of not grabbing a good one. And the butterfly is also hateful, the more you provoke it, the more cheerful it flies, and you can't touch a shadow.
Qin'er was so anxious that she almost jumped to her feet, and after running for a moment, she was tired and panting, and she couldn't take a step anymore, so she had to stand up and bend over and pant for breath.
"Your Majesty, the minion will go and let her stop, the palace is inside, what kind of system will it become!" Followed by a little eunuch who accompanied him, first glanced at the panting Qin'er with disdain, and then said to the emperor.
Emperor Hengqing was afraid of disturbing the person who was playing, and his eyes frightened the little eunuch to shrink his neck and retreat behind him. Only then did Qin'er realize that the emperor had arrived beside her, and hurriedly knelt down to say hello. Emperor Hengqing's eyes were only fixed on Ling'er chasing butterflies, and where did he hear others talking.
At this moment, Ling'er's white and red cloak is more vivid than any kind of flower in this imperial garden, and it is more agile than the dancing butterflies, which makes people can't bear to look away.
Finally grabbed one, Ling'er shouted happily, "Qin'er, quickly get something and put it away." Only then did he realize that there were more people, and the happy look disappeared immediately, and he stood in place with a serious face, and the feelings in his apricot eyes were so complicated.
Emperor Hengqing retreated from everyone, paced over alone, and when he was in the near future, he stretched out his hand to straighten out Ling'er's somewhat messy cloak, and said with a smile: "But I'm tired of playing, why don't you go back to the palace to rest for a while?" ”
Ling'er didn't care what he said, she just asked, "What did you do to blackmail me here?" In today's situation, there is no benefit to you or me, and I hope you will think carefully and let me go as soon as possible, perhaps I will be grateful for your kindness, and he will be able to drink and talk when he sees each other in the future. ”
Emperor Hengqing's face swept across his face with an angry expression, and then he turned his head to look in other directions, "Do you have no feelings for me anymore, in vain I have always had you in my heart, and I always remember you."
"Isn't loving someone supposed to want her to be well? Do you think that if I enter the palace, I will be happy if I have glory and wealth? Besides, even if you can ignore other people's thoughts, can you sway your father? Can he tolerate the daughter of a rebellious man as a concubine in the palace? How can you allow others to sleep peacefully next to the couch, you don't need me to explain this truth, right? After Ling'er finished speaking, her little face became more and more pale, and she almost lost her breath when she coughed.
Emperor Hengqing saw that he didn't pity it in his heart, and hurriedly held it, and helped gently pat his back, and it took a lot of tossing to stop Ling'er's cough. He said sadly: "I know what you said, but if you want to solve these problems, it will not happen overnight, you must believe in me, give me time, without you by my side, what is the meaning of life, and what is the fear of death?" ”
Ling'er was frightened by Emperor Hengqing's words, although she knew that he was very affectionate to her, but since she didn't expect it to be so deep. There were a thousand words in my chest, but I couldn't say a single word at this time.
The two of them looked at each other, all kinds of feelings, a thousand thoughts, all of which came to their hearts in an instant, but their throats were sour and speechless.
"Long live the Lord, the Emperor Taishang summoned you to discuss matters, and the servants have found most of the palace, so hurry up. It seems that there have been floods all over the country recently, and it is the autumn harvest season, and the people are miserable, and the emperor has also got the news, and he is in a hurry at this time. Xiao Maozi ran to the front in a panic, tired and panting, with beads of sweat on his head, and he kowtowed before he had time to wipe it.
"These slaves, it's not okay to go back to me if you have something, since you want to make trouble with your father. If he is an old man, he is in a hurry. Look at me and I don't want their dogs! After Emperor Hengqing reprimanded angrily, he turned to look at Ling'er again, and then led Xiao Maozi to leave in a hurry.
Ling'er has anything to say at the moment, but she feels that it is not the right time, and she has no interest in playing. Then he went back to Wanxiu's residence.
This Emperor Xuan Wen was in the room to approve the excerpt that had just been sent. The more I watched, the more frightened I became. So he asked the emperor to come over and discuss together. Although Emperor Hengqing is now the administrator of the dynasty, because he ascended the throne in a hurry, he is not very familiar with everything. It was Emperor Xuan Wen who was always on the side. In such a half-year period, it was also recently started, trying to let Emperor Hengqing govern alone, but someone among the ministers handed over the excerpt directly. It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, he was furious, and most of the major food provinces in Dazhou were affected, since the emperor did nothing to do anything about such a major event, he let the people be in dire straits.
"It is said that this excerpt arrived in your imperial study a few days earlier, and you can tell me, what methods have been taken to relieve the disaster and reassure the people?"
Emperor Hengqing glanced at his father, and felt that he seemed to be a little more angry today, so he didn't dare to reproduce easily. However, since Ling'er entered the palace, he thought about how to let him sit in the position of the queen logically, because the government affairs were indeed delayed, and he had no idea for a while to respond to such a thing at this moment.
"As the king of a country, you don't care about the life and death of the people, do you know that once there is a food shortage in these provinces, the treasury is only enough to support three months, so what kind of scene will Da Zhou face in three months? People were displaced, corpses were strewn all over the field, and everyone gnawed on tree bark and sold their children and girls for a living. Do you want this to happen in the first year of your own campaign? How can he have the face to face the ancestors of the Ning family after the death of his father? ”
Ning Yiheng was not a mediocre person, but he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. Emperor Xuanwen's words were like a drum beating to wake him up, and he suddenly stood up, "The emperor was negligent, thank you for reminding me, and I will deal with this matter now." With that, he turned around and left the Yangyi Palace.
Emperor Xuanwen looked at his son's back and secretly prayed, hoping that Da Zhou would be Mingjun and that his original choice was not a mistake.
"Back to the Emperor, Mama Wang asks to see, you just worked too much, do you want her to come back tomorrow." Emperor Xuanwen's personal follower played a small road.
"No need, let her come in now, you go to the front door by the way, look at the news, and come back and forth to the widow as soon as there is a result." Emperor Xuanwen leaned weakly on the dragon couch, although his illness was not as serious as it was at the beginning, but he used too much medicine, which hurt his foundation, and he was getting older, and he was getting worse and worse.
"The old slave has asked the Emperor Taishang to say goodbye, and I wish the Emperor a long life and good health." Mama Wang was supported by the palace maid and knelt down to salute.
"Get up and talk, look at the seat, it's hard to run for your old man, besides you, the widow really can't think of anyone more powerful." Emperor Xuanwen showed a rare smile, and his tone of voice was much gentler.
"Alas, the slave and maid are old, not as good as they were back then, but there are still places that can be effective, and they must do their best. It's just that the slave maid on this errand is a little unclear, and the newly arrived nobleman is reluctant to enter the palace when he sees the situation, and the emperor seems to be too worried. ”
"Sure enough?" Emperor Xuanwen looked at Mama Wang with a look of disbelief. "After allowing her to be a country, how can there be any reason not to be moved?"
"With the old slave's decades of experience in looking at people, that girl really has no heart for fame and fortune, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that it is unintentional to fall into the flowers, and the flowing water is affectionate, and I don't know." Mama Wang nodded slightly to Emperor Xuanwen.
"Huh?" Emperor Xuanwen thoughtfully picked up the steaming tea in front of him, put it back on the table without putting it to his lips, and then picked it up again, looking absent-minded. Shen Yin for a long time said: "Xiao Luzi, when you go to Fengxi Palace and ask the Queen Mother for something, you will ask her for her robe that has a wind, and the widow will borrow it, and let them make her a new one." ”
Xiao Luzi agreed, and Emperor Xuanwen said again: "I still have to trouble Mama to go again to send things over, this matter is still as few people know about it, the better, there is work." ”
Mama Wang owed her body and agreed, but she didn't kneel down, and sat there as if she had something on her mind. Emperor Xuanwen saw the strangeness, so he waited for her to speak. After a long time between the two of them, Mama Wang said: "The old slave doesn't know if there is a sentence that should be said, this girl is a stubborn master, but she has the family style of Bai Xiangye, if she does something wrong, can the emperor look at the face of Bai Lao Xiangye and the Marquis of Anding, and spare her three points?" ”
Emperor Xuanwen didn't expect Mama Wang to intercede for Ling'er, and he was a little hesitant about his decision to let him go to the trial, thinking that he was also an old man in the palace, and he was afraid that he would use others to save her face at this moment, so he said: "These widows have their own proportions, you just have to do what you are told." ”
After Mama Wang finished speaking, she also felt that she was a little abrupt today, and she shouldn't have said these words at this moment, but it was difficult to collect the water, so she could only get up and bow down and exit the door.
Ling'er and Emperor Hengqing met in the imperial garden, and after coming back, they were even more troubled, thinking that as long as they were cold-faced, after a long time, that person would naturally get tired of it, and he would find a reason to do it again, and let him drive him out of the palace. Since I didn't expect it to be so affectionate, I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
I don't want to rise again and again, I got up early today, and Mama Wang personally sent a burden, saying that the weather was getting cooler, and she specially kept the nouveau riche warm. I didn't expect to open it to see that it was a robe with the wind. The meaning of this is self-evident, Ling'er thought about it for a day, and really couldn't guess what the meaning of this matter of giving robes was.
"According to the slave maid, this will never be sent by the emperor, although Mama Wang said that it was the intention of the long-lived lord, she was passing by to ask for a reward, which is also unreasonable. What's more, our palace now has an old long live master. Qin'er looked at the robe with the wind and said. But she was originally a palace maid in the palace, and she was summoned to the palace when she was old, because she had never seen this dress of the queen. However, what kind of identity can wear such an embroidered phoenix robe, she is clear.
"You mean to say that this was sent by the Emperor?" After Qin'er's reminder, Ling'er's original vague guess can be regarded as revealed, but this old man is inevitably too eager for quick success, and doing so exposes his mentality of testing himself. It's hard for Mama Wang to deliberately expose her flaws when she speaks, someone can help her at such a critical juncture, and Ling'er is especially grateful. (To be continued......)
