Chapter Ninety-Four: Xiang Rong (Lu)
Gonggong Li had to sigh secretly, bowed and retreated, although the emperor said that no one was allowed to go over to persuade him, but this is really the most distressed person is not him?
Gonggong Li walked to Shi Qingqing's side and pleaded in a low voice, "Emperor Qingqing, just listen to the old slave's advice, you have also seen the emperor's determination, who can change it, what's the use of torturing yourself like this." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"I know, but it's man-made, and I will never give in to this matter." After speaking, he said loudly: "Ask my father to take back his fate." ā
The Northern Xia Emperor was so angry that his hands trembled in the imperial study, and finally he simply threw it on the ground, and the dragon pen rolled around on the ground, and the bright yellow marble was full of ink, but after a while, the palace maid bowed down and went to clean up.
Emperor Beixia looked at Shi Qingqing, who was kneeling outside, angry and distressed, and couldn't help but angrily reprimand at Gonggong Li, "Li Dequan, you dare not take my words in your eyes, come here, take it down and reward the twenty boards." ā
Gonggong Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy, it seems that the emperor has moved his life this time.
Father-in-law Li was so old that he could still bear the twenty boards, Shi Qingqing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Father, don't hurt the innocent, ask your father to take back his life!" ā
"Take it down and fight!" As soon as the Northern Xia Emperor heard Shi Qingqing's words, he became more and more angry, and almost roared and ordered someone to take Li Dequan down.
Shi Qingqing was anxious, he had long heard that the people in the palace used tiger head sticks dipped in chili water to beat the boards, and even the belt meat had to fall off when the board went down, "Father, one person does things and one person is responsible, Qing'er is willing to be punished for Gonggong Li, and beg his father to calm his anger." ā
The Northern Xia Emperor was so angry that his bones sounded, and the queen, who happened not to go far, saw this farce, and knelt on the hot marble surface with the nobleman, and begged the emperor earnestly, "Gonggong Li has been waiting for the emperor for many years, there is no merit and no hard work, how can the emperor be so ruthless, these twenty boards will be beaten, will Gonggong Li still have a living head?" The Emperor ......"
"Yes, the emperor, this Gonggong Li has always been meticulous about the emperor's affairs, lest the emperor be uncomfortable, what did this Gonggong Li do, it is worth making the emperor so angry." The noble man pleaded for Gonggong Li while wiping his sweat.
In fact, Shi Qingqing understood in his heart that interceding for Gonggong Li was equivalent to interceding for Shi Qingqing, but where could that noble person suffer so much when she was pregnant, she couldn't help kowtowing and pleading, "Father, that lady is pregnant with a dragon descendant, and I ask my father to have mercy, don't let that lady lose her dragon birth!" ā
"It's the other way around, you're going to have to do it one by one." The Northern Xia Emperor was so angry that he overturned all the bookcases in the imperial study to the ground, seeing that the nobleman's face was getting paler and paler, he hurriedly shouted, "Li Fuquan, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and help the noble man back to the palace, please ask the imperial doctor, please the imperial doctor!" ā
Gonggong Li looked happy, knowing that the emperor had let him go, so he hurriedly got up to help the nobleman, but the queen saw Shi Qingqing still kneeling, and the emperor didn't mention her half-mouthed, so he couldn't help but speak again, Shi Qingqing hurriedly shook his head, don't persuade him, otherwise it will only backfire.
The queen hesitated for a moment, and the Northern Xia Emperor began to reprimand again: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help that noble person back to the palace, help the queen back to the palace, what are you doing in a daze." ā
The queen didn't dare to hesitate anymore, understood what Shi Qingqing meant, and was helped by the maid to get up and sit on the Luan car and return to the palace with the nobleman, even the Northern Xia Emperor ordered someone to close the door of the imperial study, and then saw her, Shi Qingqing seemed to be abandoned by everyone, a little shaken but insisted on standing outside the hall, begging 'Father to take back his life. Drops of blood flowed down the marble surface into the white jade steps, merging with the sweat pouring down into a river.
No one dared to step forward to persuade him.
Shi Qingqing didn't know how long he had been kneeling, so long that blood dripped down his forehead and into his eyes, blurring his vision, until his back clothes were wet and clinging to his back, and so long that his legs lost sensation.
As if she felt that someone was walking towards her, Luo Silk under the cockroach pattern brocade robe walked in her direction step by step, and finally stopped, and the brocade robe stopped moving.
As if sensing that her eyes couldn't see, the man took out a brown handkerchief and wiped it for Shi Qingqing, Shi Qingqing squinted, oh, it turned out to be her father.
"Qing'er, why are you doing this?"
Shi Qingqing didn't speak, because her mouth was so dry that she could even drink a river.
"You look like this, you really look like your mother." Shi Xiang was half-squatting, Shi Qingqing had never been so close to him, but she couldn't move now, she could only look at Shi Xiang in a daze, not knowing what he meant by this.
Shi Xiang was silent in the time of the year, I don't know if it was because he remembered the old things when he was arguing with the Northern Xia Emperor, or because he saw Shi Qingqing's stubborn appearance, which made him want to vomit quickly.
"Back then, your mother's name moved the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an empty alley, and it is really a blessing for me to be able to marry your mother." The teacher couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke, as if he was still lamenting the good times of the year.
Shi Qingqing tried hard to turn his neck, squinting to see Shi Xiang's face at this time, but all he saw was satisfaction, yes, satisfaction.
Shi Qingqing opened his mouth, wanting to ask him, why did he bear to watch her mother die tragically, her throat hurt like a tear, and her brain sounded with the words of Shi Shuying, "You are a dog mongrel born to your mother and the emperor, you are not your father's woman at all, you are not your father's daughter!" ā
Shi Qingqing suddenly couldn't open his mouth, how could a person who loved his wife like that suddenly find out that his wife cuckolded him, not to mention that Shi Xiang is such a noble and arrogant person.
But how could her mother, such a person, do such a thing?
Shi Qingqing planned to listen to Shi Xiang continue.
Sure enough, the teacher paused and then continued to speak, "Back then, I didn't know anything about my son, and I lived a chic and comfortable life under the protection of the teacher's family. ā
"The first time I saw your mother, it was at the Yawen meeting held by Sima's house, Xue Tao shined at the meeting with a song of a thousand years old, and she was the first talented woman in the imperial capital, and her talent and her appearance fell deeply in everyone's eyes and hearts." When the teacher said this, he couldn't help but bow his head, with a hint of admiration and inferiority.
Thinking about it, the teacher of the year thought that he couldn't match it in terms of talent or appearance, Shi Qingqing opened his mouth hard and asked, "Then does Daddy still remember the first thousand years old?" ā
The teacher nodded, opened his mouth and came, "A few stalks, and then report Fang Feixie." Cherish the spring and choose the residual red fold, the rain is light and the wind is stormy, and the plum is green. Yongfeng willow, no one ends the sun and snow. Don't pluck the strings, complaining about the strings can be said. The sky is not old, the love is inexorable, the heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots. After the night, the east window was not white, and the lone light was extinguished. ā
At that time, it was the turn of spring and summer, and there were often other countries on the border, and there were always many soldiers who died for no reason. At that moment, I often saw her in my dreams, her frowning brow and her fingers slightly upturned as she chanted. ā
"My mother must have been beautiful at that time." Shi Qingqing can also see from the mouth of the teacher that the woman who chanted poems and eulogies in front of hundreds of people back then, dared to express what she thought in her heart, and was not bound by the conventions of the world.
Shi Xiang looked up to the sky and sighed, "Yes, at that time, the emperor was still the crown prince, and he and I often went out of the palace and even out of the imperial capital to investigate the people's feelings, and later, your mother also joined us, and we walked together through every corner of Northern Xia, and even every place in Nangan, Dongwu, and Ximidi has traces of us." At that time, the emperor was also fond of Xue Tao, but I didn't expect Xue Tao to choose me, I was very happy. ā
Shi Xiang said very simply, one sentence broke the entanglement of the three of them in this life, Shi Qingqing didn't know how to answer, just looked at him in a daze, the young elegance of the year is now all in vain, one turned into loess, one became the emperor in charge of life and death, one person is above 10,000 people and one person is under the power of the government and the opposition, but the three of them are going farther and farther, leaving only desolation and a sigh when recalling the past.
It no longer matters who is right or wrong, the important thing is that the mother is the wife of the teacher, and the emperor is only the emperor after all, he is high up, overlooking the entire land of Northern Xia, even if someone is warm, he just wants it to be warm, it's just that.
"Qing'er, I understand."
Shi Xiang looked at her with a smile, "It's good to understand." ā
Shi Xiang stood up and looked at her condescendingly, "Do you want to continue to kneel?" ā
"I want to try again." Try whether the emperor's people will be warm because of people.
Shi Xiang nodded, did not stop Shi Qingqing, only said: "Since this is the case, then let it be yours!" Then he turned and departed, without looking back. (To be continued.) )
