His Majesty the Emperor, the old man of the Imperial Garden, walked away with the beauty, and the beauty's weak body was crumbling. At the age of nearly fifty, she has a unique beauty, and the concubine is not drowned in heavy makeup, but holds the woman's hair in a bun. After only a few steps, he was panting, and the huge beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping.

The black-robed emperor said distressedly: "The concubine has already started autumn, and she is about to take care of herself in the Mid-Autumn Festival." Don't stay in the house and don't come out, it's good to move around more. ”

The weaker beauty coughed lightly, and the jade hand rested on the emperor's solid arm. said: "Your Majesty's concubine's body knows by herself, and the weather is cold and unbearable. I am already very happy to be able to accompany His Majesty to visit the garden, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the concubines and watching the grandchildren grow up, and the Great Liang Nanzheng completes His Majesty's heroic career and lays an immortal achievement. ”

The emperor saw that the wind was a little strong, and said, "I am old, I feel dizzy when I blow a little wind, so go back to the palace to rest." ”

Concubine Xin smiled slightly and leaned towards the emperor dotingly, how could she not know that she couldn't stand the wind. Although the emperor's body was weakening, he was still able to hold the longbow. said: "Your Majesty is worried about the concubine. ”

When returning to the dormitory, the eunuch and the maid immediately closed the doors and windows, for fear that the breeze would enter the dormitory. Concubine Xin sat down safely under the support of the emperor, and the emperor stood by the side of the beauty and looked at the beautiful face. said: "The concubine has not changed, she is still as beautiful as she was back then." ”

Concubine Xin's sick face squinted and said, "How old are you, I thought I was a teenager." ”

Gently hugged Concubine Xin in her arms and said, "How can you get tired of seeing it, from the day I met you, I decided that Concubine Xin was my daughter-in-law." No one can rob it, and your eldest brother has to help me deliver love letters. ”

The two of them said the words between husband and wife, and every time they thought of the absurd and unruly things of the youth, the emperor's eyebrows moved slightly. Concubine Xin said: "Your Majesty has always dared not ask a question. The emperor frowned. Concubine Xin gently combed the emperor's long beard.

asked, "How did you know that the concubine had come to Taiping City?" ”

The emperor was stunned, but although the Lin clan in Shuzhong was a wealthy lord, no one was an official in the court. Only Lin Xie, as a proton, was familiar with the emperor who was still King Zhao at that time in Taiping City, and said, "This, can I not say it?" Wickedly laughed.

For decades, Concubine Xin has been haunted by that encounter, and from the beginning, the eldest brother Lin Xie didn't know that she met His Majesty the Emperor on the banks of the Qinshui River. Every time I asked before I was called the emperor, the emperor would only say that I didn't dare to say that I was afraid that person would beat me. As a brother, you can't betray, but you can't let your eldest brother know that the encounter is not accidental.

At the beginning, King Zhao married the first emperor and appointed the princess, but the girl of the Lin family was not selected. The first emperor did not allow the prince to marry the children of the clan, not to mention that the emperor was not a concubine, let alone a prince. Among the prince's soldiers that year, the five kings who only had the abolished prince seized the throne. Concubine Xin is just the side concubine of King Zhao, and she has always been a problem in the emperor's heart.

said: "It was Liu Ce who said that Lin Xie's little sister is a big beauty, and I was very curious, so I took a look at it and decided that you must be my daughter-in-law." As for the banks of the Qinshui River, you know Liu Ce's wife. Concubine Xin suddenly figured out that it was Liu Ce's game, no wonder Mrs. Liu, who had not been out of the cabinet that year, had to visit the Qinshui River in autumn.

Slowly got up and said: "Your Majesty has been in the future for a long time, and the concubine has learned a new tune. No one has heard of it yet, please comment on it."

The sick and weak beauty walked slowly, as if every step was very laborious. Sitting next to a simple piano, smiling at the emperor, the jade hand stroked the piano and looked at the man with his eyes. The emperor lay lazily on the jade bed, his eyes slightly closed, and a cup of tea in his hand. One hand moves with the gentle sound of the piano, the sound comes from the sky, and the heart is peaceful and beautiful.

A song seems to come from the sky, and the jade hand gently plucks the fairy sound. Concubine Qu was slightly tired, and the emperor clapped her hands gently. walked up to Concubine Xin, pinched her shoulders and said, "Concubine Ai is tired." Concubine Xin Wen Cunyu's hand was placed on the back of the emperor's old hand.

The emperor suddenly said: "No wonder I didn't make Kun'er the crown prince, and you didn't become the queen. ”

Concubine Xin's face was stunned, and the emperor finally said this. Concubine Xin has been weak in recent years, and the emperor took the king of Qi back from the border pass. The emperor looked at it but didn't say anything, and even handed over some political affairs directly to the king of Qi. Things developed beyond the emperor's expectations, and Concubine Xin not only favored the leader King Qi to compete for the throne. As the head of the Lin family, Lin Xie is also the commander of Nanjing, and he only said something for King Qi in the court, and never acted excessively.

said: "Kun'er is already the king of Qi, and there is nothing to fight for." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a generous person and loves his brother, and he will definitely become a good emperor in the future. The concubine has always been with His Majesty and is very happy, without the tiredness of her sister, it is the kindness of her sister. Who else in the deep palace is happier than the concubine. ”

The emperor didn't ask much, and gently hugged Concubine Xin in his arms.

The graceful and luxurious woman of the Jiaofang Hall sat in the center, and the young Prince was on one side. The boiling tea stove was tumbling, and the queen personally poured fragrant tea for her son. The prince sat down and said, "The queen mother has caused trouble for the fifth brother this time. ”

The solemn queen's face was haggard, and many ladies continued to enter the palace to ask about some things these days. It's more about the marriage of King Jin, and the concubine is the girl of that family. Especially the wife of the Ministry of Rites, she has been pushing her little daughter to become the concubine of the King of Jin. Although Liyang Houzheng's wife is not his own daughter, the little daughter of the family is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only Dali Siqing's wife has only two sons, and a concubine has a daughter, and she doesn't think she can become the concubine of the King of Jin.

It is already an honor for the little girl to be selected by the royal family from among countless noble girls, even if it is a concubine, it is more noble than the woman born in the Liyang Hou family. Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites seems to have thought that the Jin Wangfu must be her own daughter, and even Mrs. Liyang Hou has a heart.

The queen said: "Ming'er won't fight with you, but you shouldn't involve Ming'er." In the early stage of the upright wedding, the concubine was never decided, and the prince was so troubled. Ming'er's concubine is not easy to decide, and the Ministry of Rites is involved in disputes, and the most suitable concubine still needs to be agreed. ”

The prince couldn't help but look at the warm heart of the queen mother, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was the most suitable princess of Jin. Since taking office, the Ministry of Rites can be said to be the most supportive of the crown prince, and the case has not been decided but has become implicated. Now the King of Jin is known because of the peach blossom wine, but the princess is not sure.

After thinking for a long time, he said: "The daughter of the queen mother Jin Wang Zheng Concubine Shangshu is not suitable, although the daughter of the Liyang Hou clan has a good name, her status is not good. On the contrary, Erchen felt that the daughter of Dali Siqing was the most suitable, and Erchen had met once. The little girl has a good appearance, although she is not a gentle person, but it is not a bad thing. Although she is a concubine, she is the only daughter of Dali Siqing, and several brothers are also dragons and phoenixes among people, and what the fifth brother needs is not a beauty, nor a talented woman. The youngest daughter of Dali Siqing, although she is not as handsome as the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and she is not as talented as the daughter of the Liyang Hou clan, she is very good. ”

took a sip of hot tea and looked at the prince, and the queen couldn't help but think that the prince was unfamiliar. None of these queens understood clearly by the prince, and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

"Thoughtful, good housekeeping."

The queen didn't quite understand this, and the prince explained: "Dali Temple Qing is diligent and thrifty, and there is almost no additional industry in the house. The three sons have been practicing martial arts since childhood, but no one is in charge of the inner house, and Mrs. Zheng has been in poor health since giving birth to her third son, and the second concubine is not qualified to manage the inner house. Zheng Yarong was born and has always been regarded as a treasure by Dali Siqing, and when she was twelve years old, she turned over the account book and was seen by Mrs. Zheng. Since then, the inner house of Dali Siqing has always been this little girl in charge of the accounts, and she has lived a much richer life in and out of Dali Siqing's mansion than in the early years. ”

The queen didn't understand very well, and said: "The palace will find a time to recruit three women into the palace, whether it is with the prince or not, you generally need to see." Don't go to the Jin Palace, Ming'er has a big heart, although the King of Tianshui can't involve the royal family, but Yang Chen's heart is not right. Don't give a chance to involve Tianshui in the royal family, Ming'er's wedding is about to happen. ”

"Erchen understands."

The prince suddenly asked, "Has the queen mother ever heard the song of "Neon Clothes and Feathers"?"

Saying this, the queen's face changed, and she was depressed when she remembered the past. Although the emperor ascended the throne and ascended the throne, the most favored was Concubine Xin. At that time, I didn't know which palace maid mentioned "Neon Clothes and Feather Song" in the emperor's ear, Concubine Xin had little time for piano skills, and she had always longed for the legendary Divine Comedy. The emperor ordered the whole country to collect a tune, and even mobilized officials from all over the country. However, there is a legend among the literati, and the palace held a banquet for Concubine Xin's song "Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers", and the minister of civil and military affairs applauded it, but the queen looked bleak.

said: "I heard it once in this palace, how could the prince remember the legendary tune." ”

The prince nodded lightly and said: "When the son was drinking in the Jin Palace, he met a woman with excellent piano skills, and the fifth brother had a guqin with a pair of finch, and mentioned this song when he mentioned the guqin in the pre-Qin period. Just asked casually, promising the fifth brother if he could find this tune. ”

Hearing the queen's affirmation, the prince has already decided that "The Song of the Neon Clothes and Feathers" is indeed in the palace. There is only one person who can collect the songs, and I am afraid that there is only one person in the world who can play with the sound of the piano.

Yulian, who had a busy day in the Guogong Mansion, walked into the Guogong Mansion with a smile on her face. I have never been happy in these days when I came to Taiping City, and the business of the wine shop is bustling. Tired is tired, and my heart is very comfortable, and Hongyi is a very sensible girl. I never ask about things I shouldn't know, but I just seem to have some thoughts in my heart that I haven't said to anyone.

Seeing Yulian coming back, Liu Zhixing put down the spear in his hand, and Xia Er handed a sweat towel to wipe his head. Put down the spear and let Xia Er leave with the red clothes first, pull Yulian into the room and close the door. Yulian looked at Liu Zhixing with a red face, especially Liu Zhixing's eager appearance made Yulian feel flustered.

Liu Zhixing, who was panting, pressed Yulian on the seat, and his face was red and cute. Liu Zhixing, who was going to talk about business, was fascinated by it, and Yulian said, "What to see." ”

Liu Zhixing smiled stupidly and said, "Yulian, you know what the origin of the red clothes is. ”

When it comes to the red-clothed Yulian, I can't help but feel strange, she is not a lady. If Wen Xiaoming hadn't taken him to the Lu family, I'm afraid that now she is a girl from a mountain village who knows so much. The red-clothed are literate and understand poetry, and when they meet nobles, they are accustomed to it, and even the etiquette is better than what they do.

"A few months ago, the murder case of the second son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites implicated an official of the Criminal Department. The red coat should be the daughter of which official, although the real murderer was not the second son of the Ministry of Rites, but which official of the Criminal Department was beheaded on the street knowing the law and breaking the law. Hongyi should be an official prostitute of the imperial court, and I was startled when I heard it. ”

Yulian, who was dazed, looked at Liu Zhixing and asked, "Is Hongyi okay in the house?" ”

Liu Zhixing was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone scolding outside the door, Lu Yu hurriedly kicked the door in, pulled Liu Zhixing out and said: "Boy, come to the competition to see if there is any improvement in marksmanship." Liu Zhixing, who was talking energetically, had no choice but to lift the spear again.

Yulian, who was standing on the side, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Liu, come on." Liu Zhixing could only face Lu Yu with a wry smile. smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he really talked to Yulian about serious things, and didn't do anything else.

Lu Yu glanced at Yulian's face flushed, drew his sword and said, "I didn't do anything else, you kid want to do something else, come and do it." ”

Liu Zhixing, who was standing aside and watching Liu Zhixing being beaten by his second brother, was a little distressed, and the red clothes pouted and walked slowly and said, "Sister, the old woman is looking for you." ”

I didn't understand the competition between the two, but Liu Zhixing was beaten by Lu Yu again and again. Hearing the call of the red clothes, he walked with the red clothes. Liu Ce stood aside and watched his unruly son still have a scared person, and the old housekeeper next to him looked at the old man and smiled inexplicably.

"Master Lu Gongzi fights like this, in case he makes a mistake with the second son, it's not good."

Liu Ce looked at it and laughed: "Lao Tzu has long wanted to dare like this, and the kid who screams when he fights is comfortable to watch." Then he shouted to Lu Yu: "Use some force." ”

Liu Zhixing glanced at his father, slapped a sword on his shoulder and screamed in pain: "Dad, I'm not your own child." ”
