Volume I: Painting Tang Chun Chapter 37: I don't want you to wait
Wormwood purse, to do it or not to do it, that's the question!
Princess Heng, who boasted of never asking for trouble, really thought about it for a long time. Since she was a child, she didn't have the patience to study the world of stitches and threads, so the female red craft can be disliked by Qingsong. The thought of threading the needle gives her a headache. The reason for repairing my grandmother's embroidered handkerchief was that she really didn't want to fake someone else's hand, otherwise she wouldn't let herself suffer that hardship.
But Xiao Yizheng's sentence "I won't forget it" is both cold and indifferent. This made her very uncomfortable, and he was clearly sure that she wouldn't, and he looked down on her because of it. After taking a deep breath, she thought to herself, why should she care about being angry? No, if you can't do it, what's wrong? Why bother yourself. So it's good to say no, and it's easy to be happy. So, she smiled more and replied: "It really won't, then forget it." After that, I focused more on the food.
According to Moon Shadow later told her, it was said that the prince's face at that time was indescribably changing rapidly. She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of what kind of emotional expression he had.
"On the day of the Duanyang Festival, if our prince does not wear a purse around his waist, he will be laughed at by others." Moon Shadow kept talking about it in her ear.
Qingxi was carefully studying the renovation plan of the back garden sent by Uncle Zhong, and he had no intention of talking about the purse issue again, so he replied distractedly: "That's His Royal Highness King Heng, who will laugh at him."
"Not in person, but behind the scenes! Besides, people will laugh at you! ”
Qingxi glanced up at her and said with a smile: "Does your girl care about these jokes?" ”
Moon Shadow was stunned. Yes, her girl is different from other girls, and she really doesn't care.
"The prince won't care!" Qingxi turned his dark eyes and said calmly.
Moon Shadow was helpless, thought about it and persuaded her: "It's just a purse, is it so difficult?" Girl, even if the prince doesn't care, you will break his heart like this. What man wouldn't want to wear a purse made by his wife's own hands! That's the heart! You're just getting married, shouldn't you be more serious about making one! ”
Hearing this, Qingxi's complexion calmed down, and he didn't speak for a while. Moon Shadow thought that she was moved by her own words, so she struck the iron while it was hot and added, "As long as it is made by the person in your heart, it is the best, and you don't need to care about the quality of the style." ”
Qingxi looked at her deeply, and after a while, she burst out laughing: "I said, if you say this, you will definitely be ridiculed, and you don't have a sweetheart!" ”
Moon Shadow's face turned red, and she chopped her feet and said, "Girl, can you be serious." ”
This sentence is what her girl often says to the young master. The servants all said that although the young master and the girl were both good-looking, they didn't look very imaginary, but this temperament was a mother and compatriot who couldn't deceive people.
"Why don't you make one, and I'll say I did it?" Qingxi cupped his cheeks and said with a smile.
"Girl!" Moon Shadow grimaced, and was a little angry: "Except for you, how can others be the prince's purse!" She looked at Qingxi and looked down at the drawing paper, as if she didn't have any reaction, and turned around and walked out of the study angrily.
After Moon Shadow left, Qingxi's eyes moved away from the drawing paper, and he raised his hand to rub his forehead.
What man wouldn't want to wear something made by his sweetheart!
So, what difference does she do or doesn't do?
She is not the person in his heart.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict to remove King Guang from his position in the army and fine him for one year, but at the same time he was also relieved of his ban. The other people involved in the incident have also been punished accordingly. King Guang was not convinced, he felt wronged, but he did not make any noise.
The people in the court and the central government are all people who understand, and they understand that although King Guang was confiscated from the military power on the surface, in fact, his influence on the southwest army has not diminished at all. The Southwest Army vacated the position of commander, and the position of General Yipin is majestic enough to be tempting enough to fight to the death for this, right? However, this position of coach is now a hot potato, and no one dares to take it. The airborne general made it clear that he was taking over an empty position, and no one in the Southwest Army would listen to him. When the deputy marshal of the Southwest Army was promoted, it was not King Guang's back that had the final say.
Zhongshu Ling Yang Zhi is a righteous and diligent person, and he bluntly and repeatedly told the emperor about his thoughts in all aspects, and the last word was: "Don't wait anymore, wait for a while and then transfer." The affairs of the Southwest Army are handled by the deputy marshal first. ”
Xiao Zhe smiled: "Yang Qing, you have been in the middle of the book for many years, and you have your perspective on things, impartiality, and taking care of the interests of the vast majority of people is your starting point." I trust you too. Perhaps, such an arrangement is the most suitable for the present time, and is most conducive to the stability of the court. He said, smiling and firm, "But, I don't want to do that. ”
Yang Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
"If there is no commander in the army, it is like a dynasty without a lord."
"So what is in His Majesty's heart?"
"Since no one dares to take the hot potato, then let my son go!"
As soon as the words fell, Guo Rui trotted in and handed over an urgent secret letter of eight hundred miles.
Xiao Zhe took the secret letter and opened it, and handed the letter to Yang Zhi with a serious face.
After reading it, Yang Zhi frowned: "Your Majesty, this secret report says that the Southwest Army has made abnormal movements in recent days, and the troops are frequently transferred. The minister thinks that he should first go to a decree and ask about the movement, or order his deputy Xu Yongsheng to return to Beijing? ”
"Do you think he's coming?"
"If he comes, then it will be all right. If he doesn't come, then something will happen. This Guangwang Mansion should also be taken care of. ”
Xiao Zhe's eyebrows were deep, as if he was weighing and considering, and he didn't say a word.
"The minister thought that even if the Southwest Army made a move, this order would definitely come from the prince of Guang. But the prince is in Shangdu at the moment, so he shouldn't take the risk. ”
"Draft the decree and order Xu Yongsheng to go to Beijing to report on his work."
When Xiao Yizheng received a report from the palace attendant that the emperor asked him to enter the palace immediately, he was reading the reply letter from the old man Bai, the big boss of the Changfeng Dart Bureau. The letter said that he knew that Li Han had come to Shangdu, and hoped that he would take care of him more, and that he planned to leave for Beisu next month, and if there was a jade pendant, he would tell him in time.
He put away the letter and prepared to enter the palace. When he came out of Zhengze Garden, he saw Qingxi's grizzled face heading towards Chaolan Garden, so he called: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Qingxi turned around suddenly, subconsciously covered his face, and then put it down generously, and said with a smile: "Mistake, mistake." ”
Xiao Yizheng took two steps forward, looked her up and down, and then asked with a smile: "Are you going to make a hole?" ”
Qingxi gave him a blank look: "I'm involved in the development of the backyard." Who knew that a bag of dirt ash was so heavy that it made me so embarrassed. ”
Xiao Yizheng's smile froze, and he frowned: "Why did you still start it yourself?" Isn't anyone stopping? ”
Qingxi dusted off the ashes on his body again, almost choking himself and him. "Yes, but I didn't stop it."
Xiao Yizheng chuckled twice, raised his hand to gently dust the ash falling from the hair on the top of her head, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to make a purse, but I am willing to eat ashes." ”
Qingxi's eyes froze, and somehow, he was a little weak-hearted, and lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at him directly.
"I'm looking forward to the lotus pond in the backyard." He saw that Moon Shadow was hurrying over, so he instructed him, "Take your girl back and wash up well." I came back from the palace and went to Chaolan Yuan, but I didn't want to eat ashes. ”
With that, he smiled and strode away.
Xiao Yizheng said that he was going to Chaolan Yuan when he came back. So, Qingxi didn't toss anymore after washing, and waited for him to have dinner. But after dinner time, he didn't go home.
The food on the table was cold and hot, hot and cold, and Qingxi's stomach screamed and screamed. Moon Shadow was a little distressed, and persuaded her to eat first! Qingxi felt that she was simply too patient, and such a person who couldn't bear to be hungry could endure it until now. That's it, I've waited for a while, even for the friendship of helping him dust up in the afternoon.
Just when she was already too hungry and began to fight with her eyelids and get sleepy, Xiao Yizheng finally returned home.
She yawned and saw Xiao Yizheng enter the house.
Before Xiao Yizheng entered the house, he was told that the princess had waited for him all night, looking at the lights in Chaolan Garden, and a warm current flowed in his heart. Seeing Qingxi's tired face, his heart moved, and the corners of his lips rose: "Don't you have to wait for me to give me orders?" You are a greedy person who does not wronged himself, and does not abide by old-fashioned etiquette. Don't be hungry and sleepy. ”
Qingxi didn't have the strength to talk to him, he just wanted to eat and rest quickly. Listening to him actually laughing at himself at this time, shouldn't he say sorry for waiting for a long time? This was already hungry and tired, and at this moment, he was even more breathless to his throat: "Your Highness, is this a praise or a depreciation?" ”
Xiao Yizheng looked at her straight face, smiled gently, and ordered everyone to stand down and sit down slowly at the table.
There were only two people left in the house.
Xiao Yizheng put a bowl of jade tofu soup in front of Qingxi: "I've been hungry for a long time, I can't eat quickly, so I drink a bowl of light soup first." ”
Although Qingxi didn't have much appetite anymore, he still drank it with a spoon when he saw the attractive color of the tofu soup in the bowl.
Xiao Yizheng saw him move his spoon and chopsticks, and he silently began to eat.
"Is something going on in the palace?" He was halfway through his meal when he heard Qingxi ask him softly.
He looked up at Qingxi and looked directly at him.
"Finished eating?" He asked.
Qingxi nodded.
So, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a square towel. Looking at her, his eyes were warm, and he said slowly: "You may know that I didn't grow up in the palace. ”
Qingxi was stunned, and he didn't know why he said such a sentence.
Xiao Yizheng's words continued very softly: "When I was a child, what I looked forward to the most was that my father came to see me and my mother. From then on, waiting was a common occurrence for me, both loving and dreading. Later, when I returned to live in the palace, the prince always made others wait a lot, but I was not used to it. Because, I understand the feeling of waiting. After adulthood, traveling abroad, the rivers and lakes, the fireworks in the world, no matter what kind of heroes and heroes in the daytime, they will be willing to go to the direction of the lamp at night. ”
His dark eyes shone brightly in the light of the oil lamp.
"So, Ah Heng, thank you for this light tonight. I, on the other hand, don't want you to wait. ”
