Chapter 172: The Spirit's Eve Talk
Gyeongbokgung Palace was Zhao Heng's favorite palace, and almost all of his sick days were spent here, and everyone thought that it was most appropriate to place a mourning hall here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Miaoyuan and Zhao Zhen knelt in front of the huge coffin in silence, and the candlelight was projected on the spiritual position under the blowing of the breeze, showing a distorted phantom.
It is believed that a person should return home for a visit within three days of death, so the children wait in the mourning hall for his soul to return. Every night there are relatives and friends to keep guard, until the body is buried in the coffin, no one is not afraid of this kind of thing, after all, a dead person is lying in the coffin, and the living are waiting outside for his soul to return, no matter how you say it, it is a little infiltrating.
Zhao Miaoyuan's body trembled slightly, like a frightened kitten, Zhao Zhen looked at her and said helplessly: "If you're afraid, go back, it's the same if I'm waiting here alone." ”
Zhao Miaoyuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! I'm going to keep watch over here, too. ”
Seeing her pretending to be firm, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "That's right, if the official family comes back, I will see that I am here alone, and I have to go to Changle Palace to find you, it's better to be here!" ”
"Ah~! When is the sixth brother, you still want to scare me! Zhao Miaoyuan was taken aback by Zhao Zhen's words, and reached out to give him a chain of pink punches.
Zhao Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "I think you're afraid to adjust the atmosphere, there are only the two of us in this hall, and it's boring to sit there?" ”
"Scared! You still dare to say such a thing before your father's coffin?! ”
"What's this? Don't forget that my father likes us to jump out of the way the most, and it is the rigid and conservative that makes him dislike! ”
Seeing Zhao Zhen sitting cross-legged on the futon indifferently, Zhao Miaoyuan also sat down with his sore knees, Chen Lin walked slowly from the side hall, "Official, eldest princess, there is a good red date and ginseng soup here, drink a little to warm up!" ”
Well? Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Lin in surprise, this old man has never been smiling, how could he be so intimate tonight?
Zhao Zhen and Zhao Miaoyuan took the ginseng soup that Chen Lin had "tasted" and drank it slowly, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, after being the emperor, all the meals were eaten by others, could it be that so many people wanted to kill the emperor?
Red jujube ginseng soup is the most suitable for drinking in such a cold winter night, Zhao Zhen drank a small half bowl and felt that his body was warm, and he almost hiccuped comfortably, and Zhao Miaoyuan on the side was even more like a little gluttonous cat to drink it all, Zhao Zhen handed her half a bowl in his hand.
Chen Lin cleaned up the cage drawer on the side, and after a while, he took out a bowl of mutton soup from it, and there were vegetables that were rare in winter floating in the mutton soup with a layer of oil.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but move his index fingers, a bowl of mutton soup in winter is called comfortable, Chen Lin walked slowly with mutton soup, and put the mutton soup in front of the tablet in Zhao Zhen's expectant eyes, and saluted respectfully: "Official, the old slave has sent you mutton soup!" ”
Zhao Zhen and Zhao Miaoyuan were silent, what Dad wanted to eat most when he was seriously ill was this bowl of mutton soup, but Chen Tongzhi was found by the queen after just feeding two spoonfuls, not only was Chen Tong relegated to the palace province to do chores, but Dad didn't even drink the mutton soup, which is probably his biggest regret!
"The official family will rest as soon as possible, and the old slave will retire." Chen Lin, who had a straight waist on weekdays, walked out of the hall with a straight back, and Zhao Zhen watched him leave, and his father's death hit him the hardest.
Zhao Miaoyuan whispered on the side: "Daguan Chen has aged a lot all of a sudden. ”
"Yes! His spirit is less general, people must have an obsession when they live, Chen Lin's obsession is his father, his father is great, I'm afraid it will be difficult! ”
There are only two brothers and sisters left in the main hall, and the two of them will inevitably be sleepy after drinking the ginseng soup, and the empty hall is unusually quiet, only the silver silk carbon burning in the charcoal basin crackles from time to time.
Woo~! A cold wind whistle blew the candlelight to the side, and the icy chill invaded and poured into the back of his neck, Zhao Miaoyuan was so frightened that he hid in Zhao Zhen's arms and shivered.
"The eldest lady is here, come in quickly, the cold wind outside is freezing!" Zhao Zhen opened his mouth without raising his head, and Zhao Miaoyuan in his arms looked up in surprise, at this time, the queen should rest in the palace, why do you come to the mourning hall at night after working hard for a long time during the day?
"Yi'er knows that this palace is here?" Liu E walked forward and bowed in front of Zhao Heng's spiritual seat, and when she got up and saw the bowl of mutton soup, she sighed slightly: "This palace is wrong, you shouldn't stop the official family, this bowl of mutton soup is his favorite food, and he didn't let the official family eat before leaving." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded, "This is sent by Daguan Chen, if the official family comes back, maybe they can eat a little." ”
His words made the atmosphere in the hall even more weird, Zhao Miaoyuan looked at Zhao Zhen and turned her head to look at Liu E, she vaguely felt that there was an ulterior secret between the two.
Liu E turned around and sat down on the futon on the side, looked at Zhao Miaoyuan's delicate little face and smiled slightly: "Miaoyuan is becoming more and more beautiful, and I don't know which lucky boy can marry you in the future, oh!" Bengong remembered, is it the little fat man named Cai Boyu? ”
Zhao Miaoyuan twisted the corners of her clothes, she was teased by the queen for the first time, and she was full of shyness in her nervousness, but she still nodded: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Miaoyuan and Cai Boyu have promised each other a lifelong ......"
"Nonsense!" The queen's anger made Zhao Miaoyuan's heart rise to her throat, but the next words made her stunned, "This kind of thing has to be handled by the official family for you, how can there be a woman's own private life, your father is the emperor, and the eldest brother is the father!" If you like the kid of the Cai family, let the official family send someone to handle it. ”
"Mother agreed?!" Zhao Miaoyuan asked tentatively.
"Of course! I'm not afraid of your jokes, this palace and the official family have experienced much more than you back then, and I also know the difficulties, in order to avoid Taizong's drive, this palace is hiding everywhere, and the official family is also going to great lengths for me......" Liu E's eyes became blurred, as if returning to the years when passion was burning.
Zhao Miaoyuan asked curiously, "What about later?!" ”
"Later?" Liu E showed a sweet smile and turned her head to look at Zhao Zhen, "Later, after all, there is a lover who will eventually become a family!" Your father's favorite sentence is this: A lover will eventually become a family! Yi'er told Niang Niang how this whole sentence was. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded: "The original sentence is: Eternal old and old are inseparable, eternity is always complete, and I hope that all the affectionate people in the world will become dependents." There is also a saying that it is difficult for real men and women in the world to be confidants, and I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married! ”
Liu E was moved by the poems in the West Chamber, and sighed after a long time: "This palace likes the former sentence, and the latter sentence is too sad." Real men and women are hard to confide...... There is no greater sorrow in the world than this! ”
Sure enough, it was Liu E, who had a very high literary literacy, and she could understand the meaning of it with just two sentences, Zhao Zhen nodded, "Has it been decided that the eldest lady is here?" ”
Liu E smiled slightly: "Of course! Your father has taken pity on me so much, how can I let his kindness go down the drain? What's more, the official family is so helpful! ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "I don't mean to help you, it's better for me if you leave, isn't it?" ”
"Giggles! Officials don't have to pretend to be hard-hearted, who are you, this palace knows better than anyone else! You are a good man, but you must clothe yourself with the cloak of a fox and press the claws of a dragon. Listen to my advice, the wealthy family can't move, and the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty is on them! ”
Zhao Zhen took out a small red medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Liu E and said, "This lady doesn't have to worry, I have my own way!" ”
Zhao Miaoyuan asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
"This is a sorrow remedy!" Liu E looked at the small red medicine bottle with a confused look, the porcelain enamel turned bright red in the candlelight, turned her head to Zhao Zhen and smiled: "You really don't plan to compromise?" ”
"Of course! The Great Song Dynasty will never compromise, and the same is true for the official family! ”
Zhao Zhen stood in front of his father's spirit and replied firmly, as if he was Da Song at this time, and Da Song was him.
