Chapter 10 Wandering Fields and Ridges
"Sister-in-law, did I drink too much? What did Daddy say? ”
"My father-in-law begs His Majesty to give him a quick son-in-law who rides the dragon." My sister-in-law grabbed my hand tightly, her nails cut at my palms so painfully, the worry on her face had disappeared without a trace, and her tone was even full of excitement, "My sister can't fall, Your Majesty hasn't given me a marriage yet!" ”
……
I only heard His Majesty say, "It's the twins who were born prematurely on the ridge?" ”
Forehead... My third brother and I were indeed born on the ridge.
Soon after the saint ascended the throne, the Chiyue clan in the northeast came to attack, and the saint took his father to drive the expedition in person, and the affairs in Beijing were presided over by the queen mother, and the prime minister Qian Shu assisted him.
Thinking that the saint was still too young at that time, he didn't know what people were thinking about, and the money technique actually colluded with the king of the red moon, and the inside and outside should cooperate, in a vain attempt to usurp the throne, he put the queen mother under house arrest in the palace, cutting off all ties between the capital and the saint.
At that time, my mother was pregnant with Liujia in person, and prayed for blessings in Hua'en Temple, thirty miles outside the imperial capital, and on the way back met the dying commander of the Yulin Army, who risked his life to escape from Beijing, and wanted to go to northern Xinjiang to report to the saint.
It's a pity that he died before he left the division, and before he died, he handed over the queen mother's edict and the stolen rebel defense map to his mother, who couldn't take care of it much, and rode his horse all the way north.
During this period, he escaped all kinds of pursuits, nine deaths, fortunately met the victorious and pilgrimage halfway to the saint, when the father was still in the northern battlefield to deal with the aftermath, the saint originally intended to send the mother to the father, who knew that the day after day, the mother's body has reached the limit.
The saint had no choice but to take his mother with him to cultivate, and when he was about to arrive in the imperial capital, his mother's amniotic water suddenly broke in the middle of the night.
The army was full of men, and the military doctor had no experience in delivering babies, and he was afraid that going into the city to find a stable woman would alarm the rebels, so the saint had to order someone to go to a nearby village to find an experienced peasant woman and build a simple delivery room in the field.
Because it was born prematurely, the mother was weak in her own son, and she was born from the night to the scorching sun, and when she was born in the sky, she heard the first cry of the third brother.
The peasant woman didn't know that her mother had another one in her belly, so she took the third brother to take a bath. She mistakenly thought that the saint was her mother's husband, so she asked him to take care of her mother. Who knew that after a quarter of an hour, I was born, and my mother had to instruct the Holy God to cut the umbilical cord for me.
After such a toss, my third brother and I were born smoothly, and I have to say that our lives are really big.
Later, the saint annihilated the rebels in one fell swoop, and his mother contributed a lot.
After my father returned to the court, he learned that the two of us were born on the ridge, and he wanted to name the two of us Youtian and Yougeng, saying that it was easy to support us.
My mother thought it was too rustic, especially when the girl was called Yougeng, and it was almost like making people laugh off their big teeth, so she begged the saint to give her a name. Because the sun was setting when the two of us were born, and the sky was red and purple, the saint took the word Qianmo in Tao Yuanming's "Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other", and gave them the names You Ziqian and You Zimo.
Reading the book is different, the same ridge, the name of the saint is more beautiful and elegant than the father, this move has caused a boom in the name of Beijing, and there are not a few babies born in the same period called a certain Zi.
Later, my mother was injured because of the birth of the two of us, and I could no longer get pregnant, and my body became weaker and weaker, and the saint felt guilty, and sent the best medicinal materials to the general's mansion endlessly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, exactly."
"How can the Marquis of Dingyuan be in a hurry? Isn't your little daughter still a month and a half away? His Majesty was not as sharp as before, and his voice was softer, "Do you say that you protected her as an eyeball, and pushed her out early?" ”
The Holy One actually remembers the birthdays of me and my third brother so clearly?! I couldn't help but smile bitterly, as the third brother said, everything is fate, and nothing can be helped.
"Your Majesty actually remembers?" Daddy was surprised, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." ”
"I naturally remember that I was really embarrassed at that time, and I still ...... Qing" Sheng Shang paused, "You Qing was inevitably too anxious. ”
Before, the saint called his father by his name, or he called him Dingyuanhou, why did he change his name to You Qing? I'm confused, Qingqing...... This...... I remembered my mother's real name: Dugu Qingqing.
Before my father could reply, he heard the Queen Mother say: "After the Marquis of Dingyuan left Beijing, the mourning family has never seen that pair of little things, hurry up to the palace and show the declining family." ”
The third brother and I walked to the front of the hall separately, knelt down to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother ordered us to get up and look up.
I finally saw the face of the Holy One.
He was dressed in a dark dragon robe, with a dignified appearance, a slight stubble on his chin, a little pale skin, and a pair of dark eyes shining with wisdom.
He looked straight at me, as if he were looking at me, and as if he wanted to see someone else.
The atmosphere in the temple became strange.
Concubine Xian smiled wisely on the side: "It's really a beautiful person." Your Majesty, how much do you think these three young masters look like Sister Dugu? The fourth lady is more similar, the concubine still remembers that Dugu's sister danced the sword in front of the palace that year and was also masked, this look is really the same, presumably like Dugu's sister. ”
The corner of Shengshang's mouth pursed: "It's quite similar." ”
What does this virtuous concubine mean? How do you feel like she's constantly hinting at pushing me to the Holy One?
Daddy suddenly burst into tears, as if he had made a huge determination, and learned from the pain: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister deceived Your Majesty!" ”
Shengshang narrowed his eyes.
"Over the years, the ministers have been stationed everywhere, I thought that it would be convenient to take care of my children with me, but I didn't expect the little girl to be weak, first suffered from the cold in Mobei, and it was not cured for a long time, and then went to the southeast hinterland for many years of humidity and heat, miasma is frequent, and the two diseases occur together, the little girl is getting weaker and weaker, and now she has been poisoned quite deeply, and she is terminally ill!"
A storm struck me in my heart: How did I not know I had a terminal illness?! It's really embarrassing for my father, in order to keep me from entering the palace, he actually came up with such a clumsy idea?!
The saint seemed to have seen through everything, and his smile became even stronger: "Really? The fourth lady doesn't seem to know that she is sick? ”
I immediately coughed: Why didn't Daddy ventilate with me in advance, I also had a packet of chicken blood in my mouth in advance, wouldn't it be better to pretend to cough up blood?!
I pretended to be weak: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have long known ......"
"Back to Your Majesty, my little sister really doesn't know about this." The third brother glanced at me, "My little sister has been taking tonic medicine in Biluo City, and she has been safe for a few years, but she can't stand the wind." My father was afraid that she would be sad, so he ordered no one to tell her about it, but I didn't expect to go all the way to the imperial capital, and the disease began to recur, she didn't feel it herself, in fact, she was already a strong outsider, don't believe it, Your Majesty, please see. ”
With that, my veil was lifted.
At that moment, everyone's eyes widened! I saw Concubine Xian's expression, which slowly turned from shock to ridicule, and her eyes were full of disgust, although the Queen Mother and the others did not feel disgusting, but they were not much better.
The officials and family members in the main hall didn't care about the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and there was a lot of noise for a while:
"Ugly like that? Still want to enter the palace? Dreaming, right? ”
"Isn't there paranoia?"
"There is so much difference between one mother and one sibling!"
"It's a difference between cloud and mud!"
"Oh, don't look at it, you're going to have nightmares!"
"Stay away, I don't know if I will be infected......"
