Volume 3 Temple Wind Chapter 108 The corresponding candle fire was extinguished
The old man clenched his jade hand, which was as white as snow, and his face was haggard. Concubine Xin sat down with a stiff smile. Looking at the eldest brother's aged body and reluctant to leave, how beautiful the world is. The handkerchief covered his mouth and coughed heavily, and the painful old man on the same side of his heart looked distressed. It turns out that the little sister is no longer a well-behaved little girl in Shuzhong, nor is she a girl who is angry with her beloved man.
A patch of scarlet blood reflected through the handkerchief embroidered with a yellow oriole, slowly wiping away the blood left at the corner of his mouth. Squinted his eyes and said, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it for more than a year." ”
Seeing such a scene, Lin Xie roared at the palace maid standing not far away: "Call the imperial doctor quickly." ”
The relieved palace maid rushed out of the palace before she had time to close the door, and Concubine Xin smiled very ugly at the anxious appearance of her eldest brother. Fingers gently bent and put the handkerchief on the ground, and said, "Big brother is really fine, Imperial Doctor Wen has already seen it this morning, and his body has improved a lot, otherwise my little sister wouldn't play for big brother." ”
Glancing at the handkerchief that fell on the ground, Lin Xie lifted Concubine Xin's hand and looked at the scarlet palm of his hand. The whole face was wrinkled, and he said gently: "Little sister, haven't you always wanted to go home?" must survive this winter, the eldest brother will go to ask His Majesty for advice. ”
With a sad face, he said, "I really want to see the river that I could see when I was a child, and the plums that I could pick with my hand." I just can't go back, after all, this is also my home. Lin Xie didn't say anything with a bitter face, and he didn't know if he could go back.
At this time, I complained to myself in my heart, why did I not let my little sister go home when my father died. Because of this matter, the second brother has been complaining, but neither of the two brothers has said an accurate word.
Decades, the daughter of the Lin family never returned to her hometown after leaving Shuzhong, and Concubine Xin, who was already a concubine, did not get her father's consent. The second child of the Lin family once almost broke into the palace, and if it wasn't for Lin Xie to stop him, no one knows what would have happened. Why is the canonized queen the daughter of the Li family, and yelled in front of the head of the Li family, who was still the son of the Li family at the time: "Others are afraid of your family, your family, how can I send you a single cent in the Lin family in Shuzhong." "The Emperor was there at the time.
Everyone knows that Xiao Kun, the prince of Qi who is still a child, is not sensible. None of the adults present knew that whoever brought the phoenix crown would have the child who would be the prince of the princely kingdom in the future. Lin Xie didn't have a breath of anger in his heart, but what the queen has done over the years has proved to everyone that she is a generation of virtuous queens. From beginning to end, there was no situation of the Li family's dictatorship, and the Li family in the southeast did not even think that the queen had never brought income to the Li family.
In order to seize the military power on the clan border, he personally persuaded his father, so that the border army was completely in the hands of the royal family for the first time. In those hard days, the queen did not have a trace of luxury, and no one would think that she was the mother of a country when she walked on the streets of Taiping City, but just a rich lady. The harem concubine even has a lot more rewards than the queen, and Concubine Xin has never felt that her sister is not good to her, and she wants to let it go in many things, maybe it is gratitude or debt.
Concubine Xin stretched out her hand and touched the elder brother's old face and said, "I have seen two nephews, but they are not like the eldest brother when he was young. I saw Zhong'er in the palace a few years ago, and the son of Shu should be like that. Chubby is very similar to the second brother, and his style is not bad at all with the eldest brother. I heard that I have a good relationship with Liu Ce's youngest son, and the fourth son of Taiping City is very proud of one of my Lin family. It's just that Ming'er, the child, is very similar to her sister, so she went to the clan when she got married. The younger sister also promised to help take care of her daughter-in-law, but her health has not been good and she missed it. ”
Lin Xie didn't know what to say in his heart, and he didn't mention his only son, Qi Wang Xiao Kun, until now. A woman in her fifties was still like a child, and Lin Xie suddenly felt pain in her neck. Concubine Xin had an extra white hair in her hand, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you still don't know how to hide." "It's just that it's worse to laugh at.
Looking at the white hair in Concubine Xin's hand, she smiled habitually, as if she saw the little sister who liked to sneak attack from behind. I didn't know that time, but Concubine Xin, who was still a girl, succeeded again and again. Only this time I really didn't feel that I would be sneak attacked, I just felt that my little sister was still a little sister.
Concubine Xin opened her mouth lightly and said, "Big brother, you still can't hide, but it's not like the second brother." ”
With one hand, he pulled up the gray hair and put it in front of Concubine Xin, pointing to the sparse hair on his neck. said: "These are your masterpieces, but it's a pity that the eldest brother has never seen what it looks like." ”
Squinting his eyes and smiling, he said, "I know that you have been blaming Xiaomei for so many years because of that incident, what I like for you is him, and I have never been the emperor of Daliang." That day, you know that if there was no Kun'er, I would almost have to follow the army into the palace, and my sister wanted to give way to me, but I didn't agree. My sister will be a good queen and a good mother. I may be a good mother, but I may not be able to be a good queen, and now I don't even fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, I know what Kun'er thinks. But having done so many things, I have never told them in person. When I was a child, I was an obedient and good boy, and after I was canonized as King Qi at the age of thirteen, I still followed me and called my mother. When he was eighteen years old, His Majesty sent to the frontier without complaint, but after returning to Beijing, he was a little more indifferent. Kun'er didn't say it, she should have known some things back then. Sometimes you can tell in his eyes that he hates me as a mother. ”
"But you know that the eunuchs and maids in the palace said that Concubine Xin is like this and that, and there will always be fewer familiar faces the next day. I wanted to ask several times, Kun'er has always been like that. I know that he can't see anyone else with his mother. His Royal Highness King Qi, who has changed from a little boy to a majestic shore, sometimes really wants to see if King Qi wearing armor and holding a scimitar is the same as his father. ”
Lin Xie watched the little sister's complexion getting worse and worse, and he didn't dare to move the slightest, and he hadn't said so much for many years and kept listening. Concubine Xin said: "Big brother, close the windows, I'm cold." ”
Turning his head, he saw that the palace maid didn't close the door when she went out, and Lin Xie's roar The eunuchs outside the door also fell to their knees. With one hand clenched into a fist and a murderous face, he roared angrily at the temple door: "Close the door for me, hurry, hurry." "Lin Xie didn't think that this was the Qinglin Hall of the Imperial Palace at all.
The door closed and suddenly opened, and the man in the black gold dragon robe had an anxious face. Lin Xie didn't feel that it was the emperor who came in, and turned his head and scolded angrily: "Get out of here, who let you in." "I glared at it, only to realize that it was His Majesty the Emperor who came in.
The emperor did not blame Lin Xie for his offense, and strode forward to pull Lin Xie away with one hand. Lin Xie had no choice but to stay aside and not talk, not because the man in front of him was the emperor, but because the man who was already an old man was the man that Xiaomei loved all her life.
Imperial Physician Wen, who rushed over, only took a step, and the emperor's eyes made people feel cold. Lin Xie remembered very well that Xiao Pingyin's eyes only appeared once, and he broke into the palace and personally led 200 Rui soldiers to kill 10,000 forbidden troops. At this time, it appeared again, and it can be seen that he has been the king of a country for 20 years, and the only one who cares most about the countless beauties in the palace is Lin Xin, who plays the piano by the river. The person she loves may not have become an invincible hero, but this man is a unique emperor in the world, and he is the husband of the woman she loves the most.
Imperial Physician Wen's restrained body stepped forward to take the pulse, not daring to make a mistake at all. There is a king of a country squatting beside him, and behind him stands a great general with great achievements. The emperor's urging voice was always in his ears, and he couldn't help but tremble.
After a long time, she was about to speak, and Concubine Xin said: "Needless to say, Imperial Doctor Wen, the body of this palace is known by this palace." Stand down. ”
For a while, he didn't know what was wrong, and the emperor's expression became normal, and he picked up a body of less than seventy catties. Said calmly: "You stand down." Imperial Physician Wen knelt directly on the ground and didn't dare to speak, and wanted to say, "Concubine Xin Niangniang is no longer able to return to the sky." As for the other words, there is no point in saying anything, but there is no chance to speak this sentence.
The emperor slowly walked to the dormitory with Concubine Xin in his arms, and Lin Xie kept staring at a xylophone in the center of the main hall. There are also a few new strings on it, apparently retuned to talk about that tune. Holding on to his heart and coughing heavily, who knew that the old wounds of this heavy snow would recur. The scars all over the body are shocking, and every scar is a meritorious achievement, but who knows the pain all over the body in rainy and cold weather.
Holding Concubine Xin on the bed, she wanted to take off her bloated clothes. was opposed by Concubine Xin, and lay in the thick quilt like that. There were four or five braziers not far from the bed, and beads of sweat on the emperor's forehead kept dripping on his cuffs.
asked, "Xin'er is warm." ”
Wrapped in a quilt, he nodded lightly, and said, "I'm very happy to have a beloved brother, a pampered husband, and a son who cares silently in this life." I am very content in this life, and at this moment I already feel that I am the happiest woman in the world. ”
The emperor nodded lightly and did not speak, having felt indebted for so many years. At the beginning, I really wanted my favorite woman to bring that phoenix crown, but that's fine. You don't have to worry about managing a huge harem, and when you're upset, only the sound of the piano can make you quiet. It's just that who can still make themselves feel at ease now, the woman in front of her is still so good-looking, why can't the heart be calm.
He bowed his head and said softly, "Kun'er." "It's just not done yet. Concubine Xin said: "It's okay, I know if he has the ability." These have been in Taiping City, and Your Majesty is already very happy that they are all for me. The other children are all early in the morning, only Kun'er is already in great grace, just let it be, no need to be deliberate. The crown prince is also a very good child. It's all good boys, what happened twenty years ago. ”
Holding his cold hand tightly, he said, "I will not let the past happen again." ”
He smiled slightly, closed his eyes lightly, and muttered, "Kun'er, Kun'er." ”
The emperor clasped his hands tightly and said, "I will call Kun'er back." ”
Concubine Xin said: "I'm sleepy, sleep for a while, sleep for a while and Kun'er will come back." "I saw the little child holding his mother's hand and looking up to call his mother.
Wenzhou was sunny on this day, and a light rain fell in mid-March. The thick layer of snow has not melted, and the relief effort has begun to take shape. Except for a few cases of brawls and beatings of court officials in a few areas, there were no major incidents, especially in the land of Wenzhou, where the king of Qi ordered the mob to be slaughtered by sharp means.
The peaceful land of the three states has rebuilt its homes with the support of local officials, hoping that it will melt away sooner. Don't miss the agricultural time, don't be afraid to be late. There is a lot of snow this year, as long as there are no special events, it will be a good harvest, and the sun is very good these days. Although the road is muddy, I watched the snow layer thin little by little.
Only at the same time as the smooth situation was a light rain in Wenzhou, and the warmer weather was washed by the light rain. The weather is getting colder, and avalanches in some mountains have displaced hundreds of people. In some places, torrential rains have occurred, and the melting snow has slid down the slopes of the mountains into water. Unexpected flooding occurred in low-lying areas, and the levees collapsed. Countless villages were washed away on the banks of the Yellow River, leaving hundreds of people homeless.
King Qi of Wenzhou City sat in the state capital for approval, and small raindrops were dripping outside. Each document is very detailed, and most of it is good news. The catastrophe goes on like this, and by the time April the ice and snow smile has planted the seeds into the ground, everything will be fine.
I picked up the pen and wrote down the word "quasi", and then I opened another book and suddenly felt uneasy. Placing the paperwork on the side, he looked up to see that it was already dark. Place the candlestick in front of the table and take out the torch to light the candle. Then he sat down and a strong wind blew through the doors and windows, and the strong wind that blew in through the cracks in the doors blew out the candlesticks. King Qi had never felt so flustered, and exhaled a heavy breath. The candlestick was lit again, but the candle was still extinguished. Three times in a row, the candlestick was not lit, and the king of Qi closed the doors and windows. Picking up the fire fold and lighting the candlestick, there was no thought of reviewing, and sitting at the table, I unconsciously remembered the mother concubine of the deep palace. It seemed that the mother concubine was by her side at this time, and said softly: "Kun'er is tired, just rest for a while, don't be so tired." ”
