Cining Palace

The Queen Mother was chanting in the Buddhist hall, Cui Changhai stopped listening to the Queen Mother's chatter, and hurriedly helped the Queen Mother up, and the Queen Mother Guo moved her muscles and bones, and asked in a long voice: "Is Concubine Fang still kneeling in front of the palace gate?" ”

"It's the Queen Mother, pitiful, the cold ground is kneeling, and she won't leave when she stands up, and every time she is a slave who takes someone back. You can either pro () or search" Cui Changhai became more and more respectful to the Queen Mother, don't look at you in this harem today, Ming'er may be the same as Concubine Fang, be cautious, and natural disasters**, the life of the slave is not worth mentioning.

"Concubine Fang is also clever, but you are not clever enough in this harem, you still have to take advantage of the time and place, and I want to mourn the family at the beginning, I am almost the same as her." Guo Hou thought of the life in the palace over the years, shockingly, one wrong step, losing all the games, and losing so much that even his life would be put into it.

"The Queen Mother's mother is blessed with Qitian, how can she be compared to her little concubine." Cui Changhai lost no time in flattering.

"If you don't rush anything else, it's not easy to do it like this just for Concubine Fang, this is also her superiority, otherwise the emperor can pamper her for many years." Cui Changhai glanced at the gate of the palace, thinking that Concubine Fang was delicate, kneeling on the cold stone ground on this cold day, he shivered, the Queen Mother was right, this is not something that ordinary harem women can do.

The Imperial Study

After the mahogany dragon scroll sea water moire imperial book case, the emperor Zhao Shixian picked up a book and threw it aside, and picked up a book of folds and raised his hand, and after a while, the music fold was like a hill, and the personal eunuch Wang Xi lifted his heart, peeked at the emperor, and slowly fell back to his original place, the emperor's face was gentle today, not like an angry look, Wang Xi prayed all day long that these officials were less folded, provoking the emperor to be in a bad mood, and even the people who were waiting for him were offended.

"These officials are really lenient in their management of my family affairs." Wang Xizhi said that most of the officials were not afraid of death, he didn't understand, they all had a few heads, and the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son were out of harmony, and they also dared to write to advise.

"The emperor doesn't have to pay attention to it, these officials are well fed." Wang Xi really thought so in his heart, you said that you can mix a few words with military affairs, and you still have to participate in the emperor's housework, but it is not enough to eat and support, and if you annoy the emperor, your head will have to move.

"Concubine Fang is okay?" Wang Xi looked at the emperor expressionlessly, and he didn't know if the emperor was thinking about Concubine Fang, thinking about the old love, or something else.

said truthfully: "Concubine Fang Niangniang was weak, knelt for a few days, then fell ill, just sick, and went to kneel in front of Cining Palace again." ”

"I'm not mistaken, she's a sensible person, and she knows how to advance and retreat." Zhao Shijiao was satisfied with the concubine in his heart, Concubine Fang was guilty, and he did not come to the Qianqing Palace to beg him once, but knelt in front of the Queen Mother's Palace all day to ask for guilt, it was rare to be an understanding person, which impressed him, this is the difference between her and these harem women.

"Let's go, go to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother." The emperor went to Cining Palace every day to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother closed the palace door and disappeared, and the emperor asked the queen mother outside the palace gate, and several times a day.

Wang Xi thought, this is also the difference between the Son of Heaven and ordinary people.

The emperor sat high on the step, but he thought in his heart that the words of the king of the capital, Weichen from north to south, all state capitals and counties, and remote villages all ordered the county government to investigate, but there was no news of the Shen family, like a stone sinking into the sea.

The emperor closed his eyes and thought, this is really strange, the Shen family can even avoid such a strict search of the official mansion, which shows that it is not an ordinary boudoir woman who does not go out of the gate and does not step out of the second door, with the temperament of the third brother, ordinary women can't get into the eyes, and the third brother, the sibling brother who grew up with him, is like a layer of fog, he always can't see through.

"Back to the emperor, Cining Palace has arrived." Wang Xi saw that the emperor was thinking about it and reminded.

The emperor's royal drive came to Cining Palace, and some palace people informed the queen mother, "Mrs. Qijuan, the emperor's car is coming in the direction of Cining Palace." ”

Empress Dowager Guo looked calm, her hands were sideburns, and she said lightly, "It's time for the mourning family to meet the emperor." "Empress Dowager Guo is good at mastering the heat, the emperor disposed of Concubine Fang ruthlessly, and gave the queen mother, she is still a mother and filial piety from now on.

Cui Changhai was happy in his heart, the queen mother's face was not clear, and the minions were all worried and unlucky.

Cui Changhai trotted out, just in front of the emperor, and hurriedly picked up his robe and knelt down, "The slave asks the emperor to be safe, the queen mother is waiting for the emperor." ”

Emperor Zhao Shixian choked in his throat, and couldn't wait to stride into the gate of Cining Palace, without even looking at Concubine Fang who was kneeling in front of the palace gate.

Cui Changhai walked to Concubine Fang, Concubine Fang knelt so hard that her knees pierced her heart, she clenched her silver teeth and didn't hum, when the bright yellow crossed in front of her eyes, her heart was as calm as water, and she didn't make any waves.

The eunuch's characteristic piercing male duck voice on his head, "Fang Cainu, please go back." ”

lowered his voice again, "The old slave believes that Fang Cainu's crime will not be in vain, the first old slave in this palace admires the Queen Mother, and the second one is Cainu." ”

Concubine Fang said coldly, "The father-in-law is serious. ”

The breath of the New Year is already very strong in the town, every household is ready to chew for the New Year, Wu Yulian is calculating the days, and her man is coming back soon.

After Xiao Gongzi left, only Wu Yulian occasionally said that he lived in the East Cross Courtyard empty, whether he came back to live, as soon as there was a stir outside the Qiao Shan Courtyard, he quickly ran out of the Lu to see if Xiao Gongzi was back again, Qiao Shan was afraid that he didn't understand, the East Cross Courtyard was empty, it was a little lonely, or the love was just beginning, nostalgic for the little Shunzi.

The day after the last day of the old year, something happened, the famous matchmaker Wang in the town came to visit, Wu Yulian was busy calculating the accounts of the shop for a year, whether it was a loss or a profit, and how much net income.

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the courtyard gate, she opened her voice and shouted, "Lady of the Zhang family, are you at home?" ”

The little girl heard the sound and lifted the curtain and came out, "Aunt Wang come into the house, my grandmother is here, please let Aunt Wang in." ”

Say it, knock the curtain aside, and turn sideways to let Mrs. Wang enter the house.

Wu Yulian put down the account in her hand and gave up her seat.

"The old Zhang family is really blessed, married a lady, multiple helpers, and Zhang Shao's shopkeeper went out." Mrs. Wang sat down while talking.

"Mom is a busy person, this man and woman get married, and they have to worry about their mother, why are you free today?" Wu Yulian was a little puzzled, this princess can't afford to be early, what is she going to do?

While instructing the little maid to pour tea.

Mrs. Wang took the tea, put it on the table on the side, didn't speak, and the old face smiled first, "Her eldest lady, what are you selling and drinking, the old body is still the old business, and the big joy of protecting the media is pulling the line. ”

Wu Yulian looked at this mother-in-law and frowned, but she didn't expect it for a while, "What kind of happy event is Mother Wang talking about?" My family is so small that I don't marry anyone who is not married. "It's like you're going wrong.

Mrs. Wang's hands are in the beach, "Her eldest lady, you don't live in a relative in your house, that girl Li's wine shop Shao Dong's family has taken a fancy to it, and wants to entrust me to protect the media, the Li family of the wine shop, the eldest lady is knowledgeable, there is a house and a shop, and the family property is not thin, just a brother, marry the past, just be a family, and have a ready-made family business, there are several girls in the town who ask the old man to say matchmaking, and the Li family brother will take a fancy to your family." ”

Wu Yulian didn't feel funny in her heart, although the son of the Li family looked good and had a wealthy family, but Shen Wanzhen was optimistic about the prince, how could he be worthy of a rural villager, pay attention to observe these days, and see that Xiao Gongzi of the East Cross Courtyard has a good impression of her, but she didn't say it clearly, if Xiao Gongzi comes back, the two will live for a long time, and they will fall in love for a long time, maybe it will also be a good marriage.

After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "My sister's family has already been married, and after the New Year, I will go back to get married." ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned, this was unexpected, since people said that they were dead and married, it seemed that there was no drama, so she couldn't sit still.

Standing up, about to say goodbye, just about to go out, I saw the figure outside the bamboo curtain shaking, a man coughed lightly, and then stepped in, Wu Yulian said in surprise: "Childe is back, I thought Childe would not come back to live, thanks to the house is empty and not rented out." ”

Xiao Gongzi ignored it and glanced at the matchmaker, who smiled and accosted, "This son is a tenant who lives here, and the old student has seen it, this handsome young man, I don't know if he is married?" ”

Xiao Gongzi frowned, pursed his lower lip, snorted, and said coldly: "This mother is out of business in this town, and the abacus is on outsiders." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled embarrassedly, the fat on her face twitched a few times, and she pointed to something and walked away, making a fuss.

At this time, Shen Wanzhen went to the room and saw Xiao Gongzi stunned, and then bowed and saluted, "Gongzi is back." ”

Xiao Gongzi glanced at her deeply, hugged his fists and saluted: "Hello girl!" ”

Wu Yulian was happy when she saw that the tenant had not left, the tenant was easy to talk to, and she was generous, and said to him enthusiastically: "Childe has worked hard all the way, I will let my subordinates buy whatever you want to eat." ”

Before Xiao Gongzi could speak, Shen Wanzhen hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "I'm the east tonight, can I be regarded as picking up the wind for Gongzi?" ”

The corners of Xiao Gongzi's good-looking lips raised, and he said cheerfully: "Okay!" I want to eat the dishes that the girl made last time, so let the girl break the bank. ”

Qiao Shan was the happiest, jumping with joy, and followed Shen Wanzhen to prepare wine and dinner.

With the previous experience, it is not difficult to prepare, embroidered chrysanthemum, Qiao Shan, Yan Pozi, and even Xiao Shunzi have started to help.

Shen Wanzhen and Wu Yulian sat in the hall, looking at the stove, Qiao Shan and Xiao Shunzi chased after each other for some reason, and the small courtyard was full of laughter.

Xiao Gongzi heard the laughter of the courtyard through the road wall, put his finger on the embroidered statue, moved twice, raised his head, frowned slightly, listened carefully to the movement of the main courtyard, and carefully put away the embroidered statue.

The servant waiting next to him was called Xiao Shengzi, seeing that the master's cold face gradually smiled, and walked out of the door, Xiao Gongzi unconsciously walked to the main courtyard, and saw that there was a big copper basin in the main courtyard, and the two big fish jumped up and down with a bang, and rolled a few times on the ground, jumped up, and scared the little girl 'Mom' and ran away.

Xiao Shunzi only cared about catching one of them, and another fish jumped out of the copper basin, and the two fish were disobedient, and he was in a hurry for a while.

At this time, I saw Shen Wanzhen coming out of the upper room, stepped forward and grabbed a lively big fish that had already jumped far away, held it with both hands and put it back into the copper basin water.

Xiao Gongzi stood at the door of the wall, saw this scene, thoughtful, this girl who claimed to be surnamed Wu, bold and careful, generous and thoughtful, no boudoir women, shy and twisted, the lady of the main family said that she was married, is it a perfunctory matchmaker, or there is something to do, he stood for a while, he felt funny, he didn't know each other, Pingshui met, and the person must not have a family to do.

When dinner was delivered, Xiao Gongzi ate very sweetly, and the hanging flowers were also mellow, he drank a few sips in a row, and he was dizzy after a bowl of wine.

At this time, Qiao Shan was holding a tray with a red pine pattern and a small bowl of decanting soup on it.

"Childe, this is what my girl ordered to send over, my girl said, this peach blossom wine is very strong, I am afraid that Childe will drink it, so I specially ordered it to be made." Qiao Shan spoke quickly, like a broken bean.

Xiao Gongzi was in a hurry, and he didn't think about the wine, but he felt that the figure of the maid in front of him was shaking, picked up the bowl, and drank it.

Three days later,

In the upper room of the east courtyard, Xiao Gongzi held an urgent letter in his hand, thoughtfully and tightened it, as if he had made up his mind, and then put the letter in the charcoal brazier in front of his feet and lit it, watching the paper with inky black handwriting ignite into ashes little by little.

Walking out calmly, Wu Yulian was in the hall, looking down and carefully looking at the details of the raw materials imported from a dim sum shop, Xiao Gongzi coughed lightly, Wu Yulian raised her head and put on a smiling face, "Xiao Gongzi, is there something?" ”

"I'm going out for two days, and the lady of the East Cross Courtyard is bothering the master to keep it for me."

When Wu Yulian heard this, she was happy, they were all such households, they didn't have a lot of heart, they couldn't live in it, the rent was not short, and they were busy agreeing, "Don't worry, Gongzi can do something if he has something, Gongzi is not there, I will let people clean the house every day." ”

Xiao Gongzi was a little hesitant to be happy, he didn't leave after speaking, and he wanted to say something, Wu Yulian waited for him to speak, and was bored for a long time before listening to him: "Where did Miss Wu go?" Listen to my subordinates say that she is not in the house. ”

Wu Yulian looked at him, she was a married woman, how could he not understand this little bit of caution, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm going to the lake." ”

Xiao Gongzi walked to the lake, and saw at a glance that on the pavilion on a low mountain in the west, the girl in the west courtyard was painting with a pen.

He made a detour, and the clever maid beside the girl, named Qiaoshan, saw her and wanted to go back to her master, he waved his hand to signal not to disturb her, and he walked behind her with a light step.

She was smearing on the canvas, he glanced at the painting, the painting was a nearby mountain, he suddenly showed a strange color on his face, raised his head, the low mountain pavilion was full of peach trees, the winter was cold, the leaves of the peach trees were falling, but she painted the canvas with peach blossoms, decorated with branches, to be honest, this painting did not dare to compliment, the teacher must not be a famous family, but this painting is full of vitality, look at the painting to know the character, the person who paints must be open-minded, not confined to the world's money, fame and fortune.

Shen Wanzhen felt that there was someone behind her, and when she turned around, she smiled, "Let Gongzi see it." ”

"Okay, okay." Xiao Gongzi even said a few good, Xiuju and Qiaoshan didn't know how to draw, listening to Xiao Gongzi say good, I thought it was really good, "My master only paints once a year, but the painting is realistic, and even the slaves and maids look good." ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled shyly, her face flushed slightly, "I know a fur, I usually don't dare to show it to others." ”

Xiao Gongzi saw that she was dressed in plain clothes and was as bright as a spring, he was a little stunned, and he forgot to say anything else.

The Imperial Study

"Your Majesty, the Shen family has found traces." King Dutong said.

"Where is she?" Zhao Shixian's eyebrows raised upward, unusually concerned.

"In the Qiantang area, there is a small town called Taoxiwu."

"You bring someone to bring her back immediately, I want to be unscathed, if there is a mistake, I will ask you." Zhao Shijiao strictly ordered, afraid that his subordinates would hurt the Shen family and have a grudge with the third brother, but it was not beautiful.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has already learned of the whereabouts of the Shen family, and she has sent someone to arrest the Shen family." Dutong Wang Jin is the emperor's confidant, the emperor's court is full of eyeliner, and he knows the movements of the court in the palace and in the dark.

Zhao Shijiao stopped his steps, squinted his eyes, suddenly opened, and said to Wang Jin: "You hurry there, you must bring the Shen family back before the Queen Mother's people arrive." ”

Wang Jin's forehead was bulging, and he was anxious, the queen mother's people had been gone for five or six days, if they couldn't catch it, they wouldn't have the face to see the emperor, so they wouldn't say much, "The minister obeys the order." ”

retired immediately, left the palace, and did not return home, so he took people straight to Qiantang County.

After King Dutong walked in, Zhao Shixian waved his hand to let the personal eunuch Wang Xi come closer, and said in a low voice: "This matter, if it is revealed to King An, it must be done without a trace." He thought about it, in case the Queen Mother's people arrived first, attacked the Shen family, cut the grass and eradicated the roots, King An would give up the idea, whether the identity of the Shen family was a concubine or a concubine, it would be a stumbling block for King An and a person who pulled him back.

"Drive the Kunning Palace." The emperor shouted, took the royal court, the eunuch in front opened the way, and the group came to Kunning Palace.

Empress Li had already received a report from the palace that the emperor had come to her palace.

She didn't have a surprise, why was she always a little uneasy in her heart, like something happened, the emperor's mind was difficult to figure out, joy and anger were invisible, the concubines in the palace, only the concubines who came from the palace knew a little bit about the emperor's temper.

Empress Li dressed up to greet her, and Zhao Shixian saw the queen kneeling with the palace people.

Empress Li saluted, and the emperor and queen walked into the palace hand in hand.

Empress Li is the emperor's wife, who has been in the palace for many years, and has always been careful and courteous to the emperor, serving diligently, and serving the emperor herself.

Zhao Shixian saw Li take off his boots in person, his eyes were gentle, staring at the young man's wife, more than ten years like a day, respectful and obedient to his husband, taking care of him back to the palace, solving problems, since he ascended the throne, the relationship between husband and wife has faded, due to busy political affairs, the harem is full, and she is unconsciously alienated, not only physically, but also estranged.

"Let the palace people serve, the queen sits, I have a few words to say."

Empress Li's hand that was taking off her boots froze, so she naturally took them off for him, put them on the pedal, straightened her waist, and sat opposite the emperor across the kang table.

Zhao Shixian took a cup of tea from the palace maid, didn't drink it, looked at her, her eyes were full of trust, Queen Li picked up the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and was keenly aware of what the emperor wanted to say, without waiting for the emperor to speak, she put down the teacup and lightly opened her lips, "Your Majesty, the concubine has a matter, and I want to ask the emperor for mercy." ”

"The queen will speak first." Originally, Zhao Shixian wanted to mention the matter of Concubine Fang, since the Queen Mother was angry, he also tested the meaning of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also thought that the disposal of Concubine Fang was too heavy, and he had the intention to exonerate Concubine Fang, but the emperor said that he would ask for the crime, and he reversed himself, and the harem concubines were difficult to convince the public, he thought of Queen Li, if Queen Li came forward to intercede, he just pushed the boat down the river and pardoned Concubine Fang, how to say this incident, Concubine Fang is a sacrifice, Concubine Fang is guilty, is it not for him to bear the anger of the Queen Mother and eliminate the disaster.

Empress Li turned over and went down to the ground and made a big salute, Zhao Shixian was surprised, "The queen has something to say." ”

Empress Li couldn't afford it, and knelt down and played: "The concubine pleaded with the emperor for Fang Cainu, Fang Cainu's draft girl was wrong, but it can be seen that she has been waiting for the emperor for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, and the concubine asks the emperor to punish the crime lightly." ”

Zhao Shixian was moved, Queen Li is deeply heartfelt, Queen Li is virtuous and generous, the harem is peaceful, and she does her best to serve the Queen Mother and fulfill her filial piety for him.

Zhao Shixian personally went to the ground and helped Queen Li up, but he couldn't patronize Concubine Fang in his heart, and he should give the queen enough respect, and said: "Since the queen intercedes for Fang Cainu, I will play accurately, but I don't know what punishment to give Fang Cainu, I want to hear what the queen means." ”

Empress Li and the emperor sat down again, as if they had already thought deeply, and said unhurriedly: "According to the concubines, the emperor's golden words cannot be changed, so it is better for Fang Cainu to follow this batch of beautiful girls who enter the palace and reward them together." ”

Empress Li has already calculated that there will be this move, this time the concubine is the fox is alert, and she is defeated, she can't let her turn over easily, return to the concubine, the emperor is favored again, it's not so cheap, in this palace, it's not that nothing, but it depends on who stepped on her, my Li never fought an uncertain battle, and wanted to turn it out of my hands, don't think!

"The queen is thoughtful, so according to the queen, I decreed that Fang Cai Nu is a beauty from the four grades."

Queen Li is in the middle of her arms, Concubine Fang has been demoted from the second concubine to a beauty, there is a gap of four levels, Concubine Fang, you can boil it, it is only four levels, the road is long enough for you to walk, and when you stay up to the old pearl yellow, you have to have a life.

This time, there is less rain and more sunny days, on this day, Wu Yulian had breakfast and said to Shen Wanzhen: "Sister has nothing to do today, the weather is good, it is better to swim in the lake, sister has a few boats, your brother-in-law is familiar with the boatman, let's talk about it, the boat money is less." ”

"It doesn't matter how much the ship money is." Shen Wanzhen has long planned to go to the lake, it is better to take advantage of this good day, hire a boat, look at the surrounding scenery along the lake, and live in the town for a while, she initially planned to leave after the New Year, bothering for too long, causing trouble to Wu Yulian, especially Wu Yulian's husband came back a year ago, eating and living in other people's homes, always feeling uncomfortable.

Xiuju and Qiao Shan jumped up with joy when they heard it, and they immediately wanted to go to the master.

Kyoto

The gate of the capital was wide open, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out of it, the person who hit the head, the golden crane with the golden crane of the Xuanxi auspicious cloud pattern shining in the bright sunlight shining with dazzling light, he lay on the horse's back, beat the horse and galloped, the guards behind whipped the horse and followed closely, and the group disappeared at the end of the official road outside the city in an instant.

There is also something to say, Concubine Fang has a drama behind her, and Xiao Gongzi also has a major event.
