Chapter Fifty-Eight: Death

Uncle Zhao was very puzzled, Sima Ming asked what the fish food was for, and asked, "Sima Gongzi, this is..."

Sima Ming said with a smile: "I was entrusted by someone to feed his pets." ”

As for who entrusted him, Sima Ming didn't say that Uncle Zhao also understood: "I'll go get it, it's almost noon, Sima Gongzi might as well have a meal in the southeast and go back." ”

"Okay."

Sima Ming returned home, replied to Cang Xuan, and drew a picture of the red carp by himself, when Cang Xuan got the letter, he looked at the red carp on it and couldn't help but sneer.

The queen mother lay on the bed for a few days, she really couldn't lie down, so she asked someone to go to the imperial garden to sit, Cangxuan is a man after all, and it is inconvenient to stay by the queen's side, so she will enter the palace every day to visit, go to the Fengyi Hall and see no one, and ask the palace maid in the palace to know that the queen is in the lotus pond.

Because it is the lotus flower in the autumn pond has long been cleared, waiting for the next year to be planted again, the bare piece, fortunately in the pool of clear water swimming fish, it is also a scene, when Cangxuan came, the queen mother was looking at the lake and was distracted, listening to the spring jun on the side of the whisper: "Niangniang, the five princes are here." ”

The queen mother looked at Cangxuan as if she had just woken up from a big dream, and said with a smile: "I took Lord Cen's medicine yesterday and there is no big problem, you don't have to come to visit from time to time, although it is in Kyoto, it is hard to run inside and outside the palace." ”

"Out of the way."

The queen asked Chunjun to make a cup of tea for Cangxuan and asked, "Taste, this is the Biluochun offered in Suzhou, if you like it, I will let people send some to your house outside." ”

Cang Xuan smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

"It's rare for you to come back, why did you live outside the palace? Can someone clean the house? Can food, clothing, housing and transportation be guaranteed? If no one chooses some people from the palace to come, let people and the housekeeper mention it. Although the queen knew that Cang Xuan was away all the year round, she still couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, everything is fine in my house." Cang Xuan replied, suddenly noticing the empty lake, and asked, "Niangniang, do you remember that red lotus was once planted in this pond." ”

"Naturally, the seeds of the red lotus are a congratulatory gift from the country of Jiaozhi, planted in the spring, and the pond is full of red lotus at the beginning of the summer of the first year, and the bright red one is particularly charming." The queen said and looked at the lake, as if recalling the most amazing scene in the pool many years ago.

Cang Xuan asked, "But why did you dig it up later?" ”

The queen's eyes flashed slightly, obviously recovering from that scene, and she looked back at Cang Xuan and said, "Maybe it's the problem of that flower, in the early summer of the seventh year, all the lotus flowers in the pond suddenly died. ”

Cangxuan frowned, the lotus pond lotus in the palace was awakened and taken care of by the people in the palace, and the flowering period was over to cultivate the second year's flower seeds, and after turning the soil, the next year was planted again in spring, and it was not dead for seven years, why did it suddenly die that year.

The queen looked at Cang Xuan and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask about this?" ”

Cang Xuan said with a smile: "Back then, I was going to take Ya'er to row a boat to pick lotus flowers, but I was seriously ill and the lotus pond was cleaned, violating Ya'er's promise, Ya'er had been messing with me for more than half a month, and it was useless for anyone to coax her, and in the end it was the mother who coaxed her." ”

The queen couldn't help laughing when she mentioned the events of the year, "Although Ya'er's child was a little troublesome when she was a child, I liked her very much, and I couldn't wait to keep her by my side all day long, but fortunately, that child also liked me, and came to me to talk to me after morning class, sometimes I think that although you two children are not from me, they are God's favor to me." ”

Cang Xuan heard about the queen, the queen was also pregnant with a pair of children at the beginning, and was suddenly poisoned when she was four or five months old, although her life was saved, but the pair of formed fetuses died, and she was unable to give birth for life.

Chun Jun said softly on the side: "Niangniang, it's getting late, you blow some evening breeze, I'm afraid that your head will hurt again." ”

The queen stood up and said: "Tonight I have dinner in my palace and then rest in the palace, although your father does not say it, in fact, I think you are thinking about it tightly, tomorrow you will go to see you in the morning." ”

When he left Beijing, Emperor Dechang was furious, punished him to kneel outside the Chongyang Palace to reflect, did not enter a drop of water for three days, ate a grain of rice, until the night of the third day It rained heavily, he did not eat for three days, some prostration, plus the rain overnight, the body could not stand it at all, but he also knelt all night, and fainted early the next morning.

When he woke up, Emperor Dechang asked his father-in-law beside him to pass him a word: Get out!

In the first three years, the New Year's festival was only to send a letter back to Beijing to greet him, and in the fourth year, he was recalled to Beijing by the queen with a letter, only to know that his father said that he was not in good health to recuperate in the palace, and then made an appointment with him for three chapters, once there was a palace banquet in the palace must be at the banquet, the ministers of the court saw that he had reached the age of his prime, but he was not allowed to enter the court to participate in politics by Emperor Wuchang, and there were different opinions that Emperor Wuchang was separated from his father and son, and there were also said that Emperor Wuchang took pity on his body and did not let him enter the court.

Some of the things that have been heard about the year are clear, but when this prince can't think about it for a while, although he has turned a blind eye, he has to guard against him, and he has never stepped into the Chongyang Palace since five years ago: "... Good. ”

The queen looked relieved and smiled, and said to Chunjun on the side: "Tell the kitchen to cook some dishes that the five princes like." ”

As soon as Cang Xuan returned to Fengyi Palace, Huang Ya came over and said very dissatisfied: "Brother, you and Niangniang went for a walk and didn't tell me." ”

The queen chuckled, and then a person walked out behind Huang Ya: "Yu'er, why did you enter the palace at this hour?" ”

Meng Yuyu secretly looked at Cangxuan beside the queen for a while, and said to the queen: "I made some pastries with my own hands today, and I wanted to bring them to my mother to taste, but I was delayed on the way." ”

"I have a heart, since Yu'er has caught up, let's have dinner together." The queen said with a smile.

Meng Yuyu was a little flattered and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Huang Ya deliberately took a step behind the two of them, and exchanged words with Cang Xuan: "Brother, she is too ghostly." ”

"Hmm."

"Huh?" Huang Ya looked at her brother strangely, why was her brother so calm today, although he did not take that Meng Yuyu in his eyes, but it was too calm to make her uneasy: "Brother, don't you be confused by this little goblin and forget your bad wife." Although it is said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a wife is not as good as stealing, but we are all people with status, and we can't do such a thing as stealing chickens and dogs, not to mention that my sister-in-law is still a Hou Ye, you are just an empty and vain fifth prince now, we really can't afford to provoke it. ”

"Where did you learn your accent?" Cang Xuan asked.

Huang Ya smiled: "I learned it from a general under Feng Qing." ”

"His general is a native of the border pass?" Cang Xuan asked.

"That's not it, that general is so powerful." Huang Ya learns in a good way,

Cang Xuan sighed and said, "General Wen's good temper is probably all on you. ”
