Chapter 53: Falling off the Cliff
Camping in the wilderness is naturally simple, but Emperor Chunjia didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to complain.
The emperor expressed his euphemistic surprise at Yun Fenghuan not being a demon because of this: "I have wronged my concubine." ”
Yun Feng said in his heart that you really feel wronged by the palace, then don't bring it with you!
Can't you let the palace follow the emperor slowly!
But he said: "As long as you follow Your Majesty, where is there any grievance?" ”
"Concubine Ai is really virtuous and virtuous." The emperor listened to these unpleasant words, smiled, and praised in the same unsatisfactory manner, "It is really a model for concubines." ”
Yun Fenghuang took the opportunity to say: "The concubine is just Jieyu, where do you dare to be so prestigious as Your Majesty?" ”
I really don't forget to mention promotion...... The emperor remembered that he had repeatedly regretted that this concubine was a daughter, although it was a scene, he did feel that if such a smart and clever person was a man, he could be used by the court.
At this time, I think that Yun Fenghuang is a woman, which is very good.
If this is a man, I'm afraid it's not an official fan?
He quietly changed the topic: "By the way, when the concubine arrives in front of the imperial grandmother, you must remember some taboos." Before, Concubine Ai was just a palace concubine, and occasionally went to Qingci Palace, but she couldn't stay long, and the imperial grandmother didn't care. But this time, I can't say that I have to serve the left and right as often as the queen, so I have to pay attention. ”
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Yes." It's just that the concubine comes from a humble background, but she doesn't know what rules the queen mother has? ”
It is impossible to serve the Empress Dowager from time to time, not in this life.
After all, she has so many things to do, where does she have the time to serve an ancestor in person?
Not to mention that this old ancestor is a member of the Ji family, she is the one who serves comfortably, how can she compare with the blood relatives of Empress Ji and Empress Ji Ji Duzi?
She doesn't do this kind of obviously thankless thing!
Anyway, two arrangements have been made before departure, if the Queen Mother really can't do it, she can't catch up before she swallows, at most she will make up for the image of filial piety with crying after arriving one step later; If the Empress Dowager is pretending, it will have to be dragged to her old man's house to "heal" and then go to the palace, and then she can't say that she will directly say that she is recuperating in meditation and not disturbing, and she also saves a few kowtows.
Thinking so in her heart, she was quite attentive to the likes and dislikes of the Empress Dowager explained by Emperor Chunjia, and listened and asked, seriously.
Well, although I don't plan to go to the Empress Dowager in person to be a filial daughter and a virtuous daughter-in-law, I still have to understand the temperament of this master, so as not to offend him unintentionally and not know, and cause trouble to myself in vain.
Just as he was concentrating, Emperor Leng Buding asked, "Do you know what I like, concubine?" ”
"......" Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly covered his mouth and smiled, "Of course Your Majesty likes Yue Jieyu and her concubine!" Your Majesty said it himself! ”
Emperor Chunjia was a little melancholy, and said lightly: "What Concubine Ai said is true." ”
But in a blink of an eye, it was nothing, and said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother is generous, the concubine should remember these first, the time is not early, it's time to settle, and tomorrow you have to hurry." ”
According to Emperor Chunjia, the Empress Dowager is indeed not
It's a difficult person to get along with.
Of course, this is limited to the concubines who are from everyone's beautiful backgrounds - like Empress Ji, the empress dowager from a family background, subconsciously treats women who have been carefully raised since childhood like herself, as her own people, for these people, as long as they don't make out-of-the-ordinary actions and behave according to the standards of virtuous and virtuous people, she basically won't have any opinions.
As for the small family, the Queen Mother will not be harsh.
Because she doesn't give this kind of person the opportunity to have regular contact with herself.
Yun Fenghuang's lintel is relatively low in front of the Empress Dowager, but thanks to the careful cultivation of the Xie family, the three generations of the Ji family's phoenix masters in the palace still recognize her rules.
Therefore, it should not be difficult for Yun Fenghuang to win the love of the Empress Dowager...... Of course, this was said by Emperor Chunjia, and Yun Fenghuang only had a heheda about it.
This season is hot, and there are many mosquitoes in the wild, so it is conceivable that camping is simply not a human experience.
When Yun Fenghuang was forced to join the team, he was ready to endure hardships and suffering, but the royal family was royal, and it was inconvenient to use the ice jian, so he took the ice silk in a hurry [Note], which was a blanket woven of ice silk, placed on his side on dog days, and the seats were cold, worth tens of millions.
There are also pills to repel insects, incense to help sleep, etc., although all are simple, but they are much more relaxed than imagined.
After a night of silence, the next morning the guards presented breakfast, which the group had used and after a little activity, they withdrew from the camp, turned on their horses, and continued on their way.
In the evening of that day, they happened to be near the inn, so they hurried to the post station for the night.
The emperor didn't want to alarm the subordinates too much, so he only let the guards come forward to tell the identity of a loose official, so the little officials here were not very attentive, and they arranged a place to live and went by themselves.
Yun Fenghuang calculated the distance from this post station to Wannian County and Qishan Palace, and felt that if Qi Jiulu's side went well, he would probably choose to do it here.
Because it is close to Wannian County, I am afraid that it will be withdrawn to pick up and set off again, and the people from the Qishan Palace can come to respond, in short, it is better to do tricks and feet in a place that is not far away from both places and that it is not close to the place, so that people who don't want to continue to go can find excuses to rub.
She also paid special attention to the movement of the stables that night, but by the next day there was nothing unusual.
Yun Fenghuan also said that he had miscalculated, Qi Jiulu did not choose here, but after setting off this day, he didn't go far before he was blocked by a river several zhang wide.
There was originally a bridge on this river, but at this moment it has been damaged, and the damage is very complete, even if the emperor orders the guards to dismount and repair it with local materials, I am afraid that it will not be possible to cross the river in a short time.
As a son of heaven who was worried about the Empress Dowager, Chunjia did not hesitate to order the forced crossing: "It's midsummer, the water level is dropping, and the river is not very ......deep."
Before he finished speaking, he was vetoed by Deng Chengzhai: "Water and fire are ruthless, please think twice, Your Majesty!" Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and cares for all the people, how can he be so dangerous?! Even the Empress Dowager knows about it, and she must not want Her Majesty to make such a decision in order to rush to the palace as soon as possible! ”
He said so, something else
The entourage also echoed the gossip, and finally decided to take a detour.
This detour will go out for dozens of miles, and if you count the distance, you will be delayed for a day - Yun Fenghuan was silent, but she was a little depressed in her heart, because she asked Xile to deliver a message to Qi Jiulu, just to take herself out alone.
As for Emperor Chunjia......
Hehe, let him die?!
Anyway, she didn't believe that the emperor couldn't help it, she hoped that the emperor would make more moves now, so that she could find out his details.
Otherwise, it feels so bad to be pinched in your hands by someone!
However, I don't know what Qi Jiulu thinks, he actually used the method of destroying the bridge, in this way, a group of people are treated equally, isn't this just what Chunjia wants?
It's so upset to think about it!
decided, the next time I see Qi Jiulu, I must scold him well......
Yun Fenghuan's heart was in a mess, and he unconsciously followed the team, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a darkness in front of him, and he found that he had entered the forest.
This forest should be a mountain forest to be precise - this place is actually at the foot of Qi Mountain, so it is not surprising that the terrain is undulating.
It's just that Wangshan runs dead horses, and Qishan is the collective name of the mountains where the palace is located, covering an extremely vast area. When the emperor of the previous dynasty chose a place to escape the summer, he chose to use the best scenery on the left and right, but there was still some distance from here, and it was winding and turning, and it took two days to get there.
It can be seen that there are few people coming to this mountain forest at present, and the branches are luxuriant, and the sound of the water can be heard, and it is becoming more and more turbulent, thinking that because the river flows out of the mountain, the water flows quickly near the foot of the mountain. If it weren't for the two guards holding swords in front of them, the eyes of the mounts that were almost swept by the branches and leaves around them would not be able to open.
This is of course very slow, and it is not safe.
After walking for a short time, Deng Chengzhai frowned and asked, "But there are other roads?" ”
The attendants deliberated in a low voice and told him that they didn't know, after all, who would have thought that a good bridge would be destroyed?
Basically, they only knew the way from the official road to the Qishan Palace, which was the current path, which was still remembered by an older guard.
"Your Majesty, shall we withdraw first?" Deng Chengzhai thought about it, then drove his horse to the emperor's side, and said in a low voice, "The forest here is too dense, even if we surround you, but in this kind of mountain and forest land, there are mountains on one side, if someone holds a sharp weapon and is condescending......"
He didn't finish his words, but the implication was obvious, the terrain at this time was very unfriendly to them, and there were really assassins ambushing left and right, just like the emperor personally shot the Duchess of Ye Guo, and gave the emperor an arrow through the heart, that ......
"The mountains are lush with vegetation, and even if there are archers lying in ambush on the side, it is difficult to have a view." As an excellent archer who is rare in the army, the emperor shook his head slightly when he heard this, saying that Deng Chengzhai was too worried, but agreed to Deng Chengzhai's proposal to withdraw, "But this place is too remote, I also think I can go to the nearby villages and towns to find a guide and ask, maybe there are other ways or places to cross the river." ”
And so the team began
Turn.
Because the road in the forest has long been blocked by branches and leaves, it is certainly not too spacious to rely on the guards to open the road, and the gap at this moment is barely enough for two horses to bridle.
According to his identity, the emperor is, of course, surrounded on all sides.
Yun Fenghuang, as the emperor's concubine and a female dependent, followed by the emperor's henchman Deng Chengzhai on the left and on the right.
At this moment, the team retreated, and the place was limited and inconvenient to adjust, so the emperor let the mount turn around, and as for the original team, he directly changed the front team to the rear team, and the back team to the front team.
In this way, it is Yun Fenghuang and Deng Chengzhai in front, and the emperor in the back.
Seeing this, Deng Chengzhai hurriedly slowed down and fell half a horse behind to show respect for the royal family.
Yun Fenghuang was not polite at all, and turned back to greet the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to move forward for you!" ”
The emperor had long been numb to her prickly behavior, and only laughed when he heard the words.
As a result, before Yun Feng Huang's head turned back, he saw that in the dense forest behind him, a little black light suddenly flew out, and he slammed into the back buttocks of Emperor Chunjia's mount!
Although the horse ridden by the emperor himself has been trained in many ways to ensure that his temperament is tame, he is just a beast, but where can he withstand such sudden pain?!
At that moment, he let out a long hiss, and regardless of the person carrying the person on his back and the Yunfeng Huang in front of him, he rode hysterically!
Yun Fenghuan's face was shocked, and he wanted to dodge, but where did he have time between the rabbit and the falcon - even the screams were still suppressed in his throat, and he had already been knocked into the branches and leaves by Emperor Chunjia's imperial horse with his mount!
What's even more tragic is that she fell down and found out...... It's a cliff down here!
[Note] There are old people in Tang, and when they meet an old woman, they hold the old Yin and sell it for half a thousand. When a Persian saw it, he said: "This is woven by ice silkworms, and the summer moon sits next to it, and it is cold to sit all over the place." "Ten million. (Ming) Gao Lian "Zunsheng Eight Notes"
