Chapter 2: Pear Cakes
Li Changge was woken up by the camellia early in the morning, today is the day to enter the palace, Fusang combed her hair in a bun on the side, Mangosteen brought the princess's official uniform, and after combing and dressing up, Yun Jingmo was already waiting for her in the carriage. Since she finished arguing yesterday, she hadn't seen Yun Jingmo, and now the two of them were sitting in the carriage heading to the palace, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"You didn't come to breakfast, did you? I've prepared some pastries, so let's put them on first! Yun Jingmo took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and handed him the crisp pear cake that he had asked Zhesi to prepare.
Li Changge's favorite thing is crisp pear cakes, but she forgot to ask Yun Jingmo how she knew, but her mind was full of thoughts about yesterday's quarrel, and she didn't want to make peace with Yun Jingmo, so she said with a cold face: "Don't bother Your Highness." ”
"This will be a long way from the palace, and I will have to meet the emperor and the queen mother in a while, and then I can return to the Duanhua Hall with the queen."
……
Li Changge couldn't cry or laugh, this was because she guessed that she was going to Duanhua Hall for breakfast. Thinking that what Yun Jingmo said made some sense, I didn't eat anything last night, and the more I looked at the pear cake, the more hungry I became.
Over there, Yun Jingmo had already peeled off the oil paper wrapped outside, handed it to her and said, "Eat, huh?" ”
Li Changge took the crisp pear cake, but he didn't forget to sarcastically, "Your Highness even let me have breakfast, every step of the way!" ”
Yun Jingmo chose to ignore her ridicule, at least she accepted the pastry he gave, which was considered to be an acceptance of his heart. It's a long time coming!
The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the chief eunuch Duo'an around the emperor waited at the palace gate, and took the two to the Chonghua Hall where the Queen Mother was located.
The two first bowed to the queen mother and the emperor together, but Yun Jingmo saluted his biological mother Wang Zhaoyi: "Erchen greets mother." ”
He took Li Changge's hand and said, "Changge, this is my mother. ”
Li Changge knew that this was to let him meet her, but Li Changge felt uncomfortable when he thought that he was being calculated by them to get married, and thought that she had raised a good son with such a deep heart, Li Changge didn't have a good impression of her.
"Li Changge asked Concubine Shuniang'an."
"Ask Concubine De Niang'an."
After slowly saluting the two of the four concubines, Li Changge looked at Wang Zhaoyi.
"Zhaoyi Niangniang!" The other ceremonies and Zhaoyi below were snickering, Li Changge called Zhaoyi instead of his mother this time, so he didn't give face to the Wang family.
Yun Jingmo looked at Li Changge, and Li Changge clearly saw the anger he was trying to suppress. But he still pressed it down, and led her to sit down beside her.
After greeting for a while, the emperor left, leaving a group of concubines here, and the queen mother released her without opening her mouth.
Entering the palace today, Li Changge brought camellia and Fusang in. Fusang was an old palace maid who had served in the palace, and the Queen Mother looked at her and asked, "How was the princess's white cloth yesterday?" ”
Li Changge took a sharp breath in the seat, and her fingers grabbed the chair a little uneasily, she knew that the Queen Mother was asking about the house, and the two had not yet had a round room. But when she went out, she forgot to explain.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness and the princess slept late, and the early ones were a little late, and the slave maid was in a hurry to dress up the princess, so she ordered others to clean up the happy bed."
Li Changge exhaled, and his hand also released the armrest of the chair, only knocking it with his fingertips.
"Why did you sleep so late? You're too careless, you have to see this kind of thing for yourself. The Queen Mother continued to ask Fusang.
"Later, His Royal Highness let the slaves and maids go out, and the slaves and maids only listened to His Highness and the princess talking happily at the door, and they didn't know what was going on......"
"Okay, just have a good conversation." The Queen Mother smiled.
Li Changge looked at Fusang, this old lady was very shrewd, she obviously saw the white veil, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't deceive the Queen Mother, she just replied cleverly and let the Queen Mother think for herself. There was no such thing as a happy conversation, but it was just Li Changge arguing with Yun Jingmo.
was detained by the Queen Mother for a long time, and it was almost noon before he dispersed, Yun Jingmo went to the Qinzheng Palace to find the emperor to discuss matters. Li Changge followed Empress Nanning to the Duanhua Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, Changge saw the delicacies on the table.
"Thinking that the little county lord won't have dinner in the morning, the slave maid will ask someone to prepare it in the morning" The green palace maid beside Queen Nan welcomed Li Changge in with a smile.
Lu Ying is a green guard, and Li Changge brought purple guards from Li Mansion are from the Nan family, her maternal ancestor Nan Xiao trained a group of secret guards, the green guards belong to the eldest daughter Nanning, and the purple guards belong to the second daughter, that is, Changge's mother, when Queen Nan entered the palace, she only brought Lu Ying, and the rest stayed in the dark to standby. And Ziyiwei passed it to Li Changge, and only brought Ziyi into the palace.
Changge sat down on the stool and began to complain: "Auntie, I'm going to starve to death, my neck hurts from this crown of head." ”
"And the Queen Mother too, how can anyone ask me about sex in public."
Queen Nan smiled and instructed Lu Ying: "Help her take off the crown first, and comb it for her when she leaves." ”
"Hehe, auntie, I want to eat that eight-treasure duck." Li Changge took off the heavy crown and replaced it with a hairpin and green silk. It looks like something special.
Li Changge took a nap in the Duanhua Hall for a while, and remembered Concubine Liu Xian, so he put on his clothes and went to the garden to find Nanhou, and asked, "Auntie, why didn't you see Concubine Xian today?" ”
"Concubine Xian has fallen ill since Liu Wuyun was convicted, and now she is bedridden, and she went to the palace a few days ago to take a look, her face was pale, and it didn't look very good." Nanhou grabbed Changge's hand and said slowly, "Actually, your mind, my aunt knows, but when Yun Jingmo said that she wanted to marry you, my aunt didn't object, you are my aunt's dearest, my aunt won't harm you, my aunt thinks that Yun Jingmo is more suitable for you." ”
Li Changge pursed his lips and muttered unhappily: "But I have already asked Zi Yi to find out, and Li Liang is the person he sent." For the position of the crown prince, he is scheming, calculating step by step, and putting on a good gentleman's appearance in front of you, where is this. ”
"If I have a cousin, then the position of prince is something he can dream of."
The cousin Li Changge said is naturally the child of Queen Nanning, but Queen Nanning has no children, the eldest prince Yun Jingke is from Concubine Yide, the second prince Yun Jingmo is from Wang Zhaoyi, the third prince Yun Jingping is from Concubine Feng Shu, and the fourth prince Yun Jingyang is from Concubine Liu Xian. The fifth prince Yun Jing is now from Chen Dianyi.
The five brothers, the second prince and the fourth prince have always been outstanding, far superior to others, and the court knows that the crown prince is bound to come out of the two. Now that the general trend of Yun Jingyang has gone, Yun Jingmo has been stabilized.
"The emperor's choice of the crown prince is based on talent, and the position of the Son of Heaven will always be occupied by the capable." Empress Nan educated him and prepared to let her go to Yun Jingmo.
"Auntie, I'm going to go to Xian'an Palace to see Concubine Liu." After speaking, Li Changge ran out of the Duanhua Palace.
Queen Nan reluctantly sent Fusang to the Qinzheng Palace to wait for the second prince.
Before Li Changge entered the inner hall, he smelled the strong smell of decoction, and when he saw Concubine Liu, her face was pale, her hair was slightly loose, and there were a few strands of broken hair on her forehead.
"The long song is here! Today! I didn't even go to see what our long song looked like at the beginning. Concubine Liu said as she sat up with the support of the palace maid next to her.
Changge walked over to Concubine Xian and sat down.
"Concubine Xian, what are you...... Liu Chengji's matter has been suppressed, and Yun Jingyang will find a way to solve it. Changge didn't expect Concubine Liu to be so sick,
"Since the last time I passed out, I just feel that my body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and the imperial doctor doesn't know why." It turned out that Concubine Liu heard that Liu Wuyun was convicted and imprisoned last time, and she fainted in a hurry, and her health has been poor since she woke up.
"I've seen the Fourth Highness!" The voice of the palace maid came from the door.
"Is the concubine's health better?" Li Changge heard his familiar voice, the person who grew up with him since he was a child, often teased him, but was always very considerate, Li Changge stood up.
Yun Jingyang walked to the bed, saw Li Changge, and his face leaked a touch of surprise! Wearing the princess's official uniform, her hair was simply curled, looking luxurious and cold.
Li Changge wanted to ask him if he was doing well these days, but considering his identity, he couldn't ask, so the two stood in front of the bed, looking at each other speechlessly.
When Yun Jingmo came out of the Qinzheng Palace, he learned that Li Changge was in the Xian'an Palace, and suddenly thought that Yun Jingyang said that he wanted to visit his mother, Yun Jingmo's heart was cold, and he ran away. When I came to Xian'an Palace, I happened to see Concubine Liu holding Changge who was sitting at the head of the bed talking, and Yun Jingyang was sitting at the end of the bed and feeding Concubine Liu medicine.
"Erchen has seen Concubine Xian!" Yun Jingmo interrupted the harmony with a loud voice, he didn't let the palace people report, and the three of them were all startled by him. Concubine Liu was the first to react.
"Mo'er is here." Concubine Liu sat up from a semi-lying position again, and Li Changge stood aside.
"The retainers are bothered, the queen is looking for Changge to dress up, and the retainers are calling." Yun Jingmo carried the queen out.
Sure enough, I only heard Concubine Liu Xian say: "Then you guys go quickly!" Don't keep the queen waiting. ”
After the two left, Concubine Liu looked at her son and asked, "Yang'er, I have wronged you, my mother knows, you like long songs, and it is the Liu family that has affected you." ”
Yun Jingyang helped Concubine Liu tuck the corners of the quilt and did not speak.
What else can be said? Yun Jingyang thought to himself, from childhood to adulthood, except for his mother, Li Changge was all he had. said that he was willing, it must be false, but if he was unwilling, he could only accept that her girl had married her wife, or someone who was close to him by blood.
