0008 Our Lady of God
Back at her house, Shangguan Wan'er undressed and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but a low voice came from behind the couch screen: "Qicai people, His Majesty the God Emperor has a call." ”
In mid-May, the Empress Dowager was honored as the Holy Mother of God, but today's saint is still hanging in the middle of the arch, because the honorific title of the Emperor is only used in the Shangyang Palace, and it is still called the Empress Dowager or Her Majesty the Empress Dowager outside.
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly got up and dressed, walked out without makeup, and poured out a incense pill from a sachet and put it in her mouth during the walk. This incense pill is called Mouth Sandalwood or Containing Incense, which has the function of refreshing and moistening the throat, dissolving the filth of the mouth while sleeping, and avoiding the loss of etiquette before the emperor.
In fact, when it comes to refreshing and cleansing, salted betel nut with konjac sauce is more effective to swallow, but konjac sauce is spicy, and betel nut dregs hurt teeth and tongue, so it is not liked by female officials in the palace.
As for these sandalwood pills, although they are also supplied in the palace, some high-ranking female officials such as Shangguan Wan'er are still willing to mix and make them by themselves, and the materials are extravagant and frugal.
Shangguan Wan'er's sandalwood is made of exquisite materials, the aroma is long-lasting and fresh, even the queen mother has used it and is full of praise, and it is also quite famous among the female officials in the garden, saying that the above officials are fragrant. Shangguan Wan'er is very popular among female officials, and she is also willing to give, and occasionally uses it as a gift for daily communication.
Walking outside the Lichun Palace, Shangguan Wan'er took a special look at the copper leaky pot standing under the corridor of the hall, and found that the time had reached the ugly moment, and the inside and outside of the hall were still brightly lit. Although the Queen Mother is getting older, she is still energetic, and it is common for her to miss the night to manage affairs, and they are no longer strange to these female officials.
"Shangguan talent is coming too slowly, Your Majesty is about to wait!"
On the steps of the hall, a gorgeous palace maid with a cloud-throwing bun looked at Shangguan Wan'er condescendingly, with a little displeasure between her eyebrows.
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.
This palace maid is named Wei Tuan'er, although she does not belong to the female officials, and she is not in charge of the forbidden priests, but she is quite favored by the Queen Mother, because she is quite arrogant, especially because she wants to welcome and worship the female officials outside the palace, if she makes her wait for a long time, she will inevitably be complained.
The arrogance of the palace maid Wei Tuan'er is reflected in the clothes and makeup, in the heavily forbidden inner garden, the pomegranate red shirt skirt on her body is by no means worn by a low-level palace maid without rank.
Wei Tuan'er has no job and no quality, just an official slave and a maid, as a kind of dangerous bun, the cloud bun is tall and towering, and only those noblewomen who really live without hard work will dress up like this, how can ordinary slaves and maids do sprinkle and sweep with such a dangerous bun?
This Wei Tuan'er can be favored by the Queen Mother because when the appearance is quite similar to that of the Queen Mother, the woman will inevitably be reluctant to give up, and when she sees a woman who looks similar to herself, she is willing to stay by her side and dress up, as if the flower age has not passed away, which is also human nature. Most of the female officials know about this section, and they don't care about this Wei Tuan'er, after all, the queen mother is also a blessed person, and she can't be bullied.
Wei Tuan'er seemed to be quite angry, although Shangguan Wan'er had apologized, she still stood still, and waited until Shangguan Wan'er stuffed the sachet containing more than a dozen sandalwood pills into her hand, and then her face turned to joy, and showed a bit of intimacy, and pulled Shangguan Wan'er's wrist into the hall.
The hall was covered with several curtains, and after a while, Shangguan Wan'er, who was held by Wei Tuan'er, walked to the front of the queen mother's imperial seat.
Our Lady of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Wu are softly nestling the brocade rope bed at this time, and the rope bed is set up on both sides of the curtain, and the four palace maids are holding the splendid group fan and the incense is slowly swaying.
His Majesty the Divine Emperor's body was hidden in the drape, and through Luo Sha, he could only vaguely see that he was wearing a neutral ochre yellow robe, and when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Wan'er is here, but this little evil maid is gossiping again?" ”
The voice was slightly hoarse and magnetic, but there was absolutely no smell of old age.
The latter sentence is obviously referring to Wei Tuan'er, Wei Tuan'er let go of Shangguan Wan'er's wrist, leaned over and knelt, and entered the curtain without spinning his heels, and then hugged His Majesty's slightly drooping feet in his arms, and said softly: "Others often say that the maid is also a beautiful and good lady, but His Majesty accuses the evil and calls the evil, and Tuan'er is really wronged." ”
When the God Emperor heard this, his laughter became even more cheerful, and Shangguan Wan'er also laughed a few times, and stepped forward to worship, and sat down on the side seat. She can also be regarded as a close palace person to His Majesty the Divine Emperor, but she is far from the intimacy of Wei Tuan'er.
The so-called little evil maid, but it is said that it conveys nothing more than two meanings, one is that the God Emperor knows what Wei Tuan'er is like in private, and the other is that she does not intend to pursue this beloved maid because of this. Of course, there may not be no intention of beating Wei Tuan'er, but Wei Tuan'er obviously didn't understand it.
However, this kind of stupidity is not necessarily harmful, because His Majesty the God Emperor is already aware of everything, and it is probably because of this stupidity that Wei Tuan'er is even more loved. As for Shangguan Wan'er, because she thinks too much, it will never be possible to get along with the God Emperor like Wei Tuan'er.
"The queen of the palace brought lychees to fry today, and went to fetch them."
The Divine Emperor sat up straight and motioned for the palace people to lift the drape, revealing a beautiful and bright face.
Rao is Shangguan Wan'er has engraved this face in her heart, but every time she sees it in person, she still can't help but sigh, this is not at all a bright and beautiful appearance that a sixty-year-old woman can have, especially the aggressive heroic atmosphere between her eyebrows, which makes a woman like her who is enjoying her prime time feel ashamed of herself and can't admit it.
Wei Tuan'er obediently retreated, but when she saw that Shangguan Wan'er was able to move to the nearest seat to discuss affairs with His Majesty the God Emperor, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
After Wei Tuan'er left, His Majesty the Divine Emperor pointed to the paper scroll on the side case again, and said with a smile: "Wan'er's pen power is getting smarter, and she will imitate everyone." ”
Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head and spoke humbly, and without waiting for the God Emperor to ask again, she played all the details of going to the forbidden middle during the day, and did not dare to hide it in the slightest.
His Majesty the Divine Emperor leaned on his elbows, his hand on his chin, and leaned forward slightly, just listening, not speaking, occasionally frowning, Shangguan Wan'er adjusted the rhythm of the narrative in a timely manner, or made deletions, or made additions, and finished telling the story in a quarter of an hour.
After that, His Majesty the Divine Emperor did not speak immediately, but picked up the paper scroll again and stretched it to the "Ciwu Poem", her slightly inverted eyes were bright and dark, her lips moved slightly, as if she was reciting silently, and after a while, she suddenly chuckled: "Life is eight hardships, and Tai is half self-seeking." It's too late to know, and it's hard to chase. There are many children and grandchildren, accumulating love debts, dying and not forgiving, what do you want to do? ”
After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, she just sat silently with her head down, resting and guarding her heart.
"This Ciwu, is it really so human?"
After another moment, His Majesty the Divine Emperor looked at Shangguan Wan'er again and asked.
Shangguan Wan'er sat upright and said: "Ciwu, and filial piety, short wings and black feathers, small and white mouth, long to feed his mother, "Yun Doushu" is kind and therefore feeds back, "Shuowen" and "Erya" are listed, all the collections of the museums, the concubine takes the internal literature library books, and the outer libraries take the different volumes together? ”
"Yes."
The Divine Emperor nodded, and after a moment, he said, "Only take the Chongwen Pavilion." ”
The two halls of the six schools of the national dynasty, the Chongwen Hall is the Prince Academy, although the sage is sitting in the forbidden middle school, but does not enter the foreign court, and the reading of academics still takes the Chongwen Museum. The Divine Emperor made such an arrangement, which was not intended to let the foreign dynasty know about the existence of this "Ciwu Poem" for the time being, but allowed the current saints to know about it.
The God Emperor is simple, and it is naturally impossible to explain everything in detail if there is an order, and it is all up to the person who receives the order to understand. This is also why although the God Emperor favors the household maid Wei Tuan'er, he does not deliver affairs, Wei Tuan'er's tendon thinking is far less than the figure looks uneven and exquisite, if he really wants to tell the facts, most of them are wrong.
"Although he is stubborn, he is conceived by my body after all, so let's just seal it."
The Divine Emperor raised his hand and handed the file to Shangguan Wan'er, who hurriedly took it with both hands, and later sent it back to the branch courtyard to be properly stored in the inner library, leaving it for the Divine Emperor to look through.
The Divine Emperor pondered for a while, and then said, "Who is that little one?" ”
"It's Shen Zhaoxun."
Shangguan Wan'er replied again, Zhaoxun is the prince's concubine, the rank is seven products, and then there are Liangdi, Liangyuan, Chenghui, and there are Fengyi below, and the mother of Li Shouyi, the king of Yong'an, is the late prince Zhaoxun Shen of the East Palace, and the rank is not extremely high, but as long as he has this identity, the king of Yong'an is not a humble breed.
When the God Emperor heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, she was already very unfamiliar with the original prince and concubines, but she still had a slight impression of this Shen Zhaoxun, or because this Shen family was martyred by the lord a few years ago, and when he thought about it now, he sighed and said: "Zhenmu Jia'er, it can be regarded as a legend." ”
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she sighed in her heart, because this same thing and the same person had a different evaluation from the mouth of the God Emperor just a few years ago, when the God Emperor angrily reprimanded Shen Zhaoxun, "A foolish woman in the bad country, it's not a pity to die!" ”
Of course, Shangguan Wan'er would not open her mouth to remind the God Emperor of this deviation in impression, but she was also relieved for King Yong'an, with such an evaluation, the situation should improve a little later. The God Emperor is far-sighted and will not bow to the surplus, and those in charge of the palace will inevitably peek at the situation.
"Mother and son are filial, I have missed it, and I regret my children and grandchildren. Let the Fang family take back the son, and choose a place to live in peace. Wan'er told Pei Men's lady to arrange this matter, and you also visited every day, so don't use your illness for a short time. ”
Hearing the Divine Emperor's order, Shangguan Wan'er said yes, but she knew in her heart that her plan to stay out of the matter had failed, and even the Yuzheng Di clan was implicated.
The root should still be in the wheel of the king of Yong'an Yunyun, although the god emperor pretended not to see it, and he didn't say it, but he must have written it down in his heart. Therefore, arranging for the Di clan to continue to keep in touch with this family is also suspicious of them, if they show any signs of Yin Tie King Yong'an or Concubine Fang in the future, the catastrophe will come in an instant!
Of course, similar suspicions are not really significant. At least Shangguan Wan'er herself has a clear conscience and is not afraid of tests. Even if they are not implicated in this matter, they will provoke scrutiny in other aspects. The God Emperor has a grand plan, a layout in the world, and uses all kinds of internal and external talents, how can there be a lack of a city government to control the masses?
As for the soul of King Yong'an, who traveled to the underworld, was taught his father, and came back from the dead, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The God Emperor is about to take his feet, and the Immortal Buddha must also bow his head, let alone a wandering soul that is free from the cycle of life and death!
