Chapter 13: The Struggle for the Throne
"Is it cold?" Xiao Ren looked at An Jing, who was thinly dressed, "It's cold in spring, and the weather has been getting cooler recently." ”
An Jing smiled awkwardly: "It's not cold." ”
Xiao Ren didn't speak, and took An Jing's arm and walked forward. An Jing was a little confused, so "Where are you going to take me?" ”
Xiao Ren stopped and smiled, "I asked you to come out, how can I let you catch a cold." Follow me. ”
Suddenly, An Jing was pulled forward by him. Looking at Xiao Ren's back, an thought suddenly popped up in An Jing's heart: If I lived with him for the rest of my life, I should be quite happy. But in an instant, I felt that I shouldn't have imagined it like this. Just when An Jing came back to his senses, he realized that he had arrived at the place.
It's a tailor's shop.
The two walls of the shop are covered with clothes, all of which are made of fine fabrics. Looking at what he was on his body again, it was dwarfed, and An Jing was embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.
Xiao Ren whispered a few words to the master in the past, and the master turned around and went to the back room, and when he came out again, he had an extra tray in his hand. Xiao Ren smiled and lifted the cloth from the tray.
It turned out to be a set of azure clothes, the workmanship is ingenious, the workmanship is fine, the collar is skillfully sewn and embroidered, but the fabric is more delicate than the one displayed on the wall.
"Don't be stunned, go in and try it!" Xiao Ren took the tray from his master and handed it to An Jing. An Jingmu nodded and walked into the cubicle behind him.
Half a cup of tea, An Jing's azure dress was wrapped, covered with a snow-colored wide-sleeved coat, and the pleats of the skirt fell to the ground like snow and moonlight, and he returned to the hall with a little restraint, subconsciously grasping the skirt with both hands.
This shocking scene was something Xiao Ren didn't expect, as if his eyes were shining.
"Young Master Xiao, this dress ......" An Jing looked at the master and asked in a low voice.
Seeing this, Xiao Ren approached and helped An Jing straighten out the tie, "Give it to you, wear it!" ”
An Jing hurriedly shirked: "I can't help it, I know that this dress is expensive at a glance." As he spoke, he went to change his old clothes back.
"Gorgeous clothes with beautiful women, this dress is made for you, of course", Xiao Ren stopped An Jing, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Besides, I said, I won't let you catch a cold." ”
An Jing was a little hesitant, and then the tailor also persuaded her to accept it.
Mainly, this outfit is really good-looking! And it fits perfectly, but...... I didn't measure it myself.
"How does Xiao Gongzi know my size?" An Jing was puzzled.
He didn't notice that the master tailor was smiling secretly.
Xiao Ren waited for the tailor to take a look, then turned his head and said to An Jing, "This is a secret. You'll know later, go, I'll take you to the place where the wine is stored. ”
On the way home, An Jing kept thinking about whether to tell her father about it, but her father ignored him on weekdays......
"Childe is finally back!" Mo Buno stood guard at the door. "Huh? This dress? ”
"It was given to me by Xiao Gongzi, and my clothes were thin when I went out." An Jing's face was a little hot, "I have something to tell my father." As he spoke, he ran in the direction of Heninghou's study.
"Childe!" Mo Bunuo shouted again, An Jing had already run away.
"Ah...... Father," An Jing hung her head and clenched her fists tightly.
Hening didn't raise his head, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”
"I ......"
"Get out of here before it's okay!" Heninghou squinted at An Jing.
An Jing hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Yes...... I'm in trouble...... If Xiao comes to the house to mention...... If you propose, please ask your father...... Fulfill. ”
"I only have two sons in Hening, and I have never had a daughter! You're a shame! How can you say such a thing? ”
"I knew that my father didn't like me, and naturally he wouldn't care about my marriage, so I had to care about it myself. What's wrong..."An Jing was gambling, and his tone became tougher, but was interrupted by a small guy who came in.
"Master Hou..."The little guy looked at An Jing, stepped forward and whispered a few words beside Hening.
I don't know what I said, but I saw Heninghou smash his fist on the bookcase with extreme anger, and the ink in the inkstone was splashed a little, "Let them all come in!" ”
The little guy retreated, and after a while, all the doormen rushed in, gossiping about something.
My father is going to be busy with government affairs, so I'd better come back another day, "Father... Or I'll retreat..."
"It's all you rebel girl!" Hearing this, Heninghou remembered that An Jing was still there, so he stood up and picked up the scroll on the case and threw it towards An Jing.
An Jing didn't dare to dodge, subconsciously closed his eyes, and let the book smash heavily on his forehead, and after the hot pain, there was a buzzing sound. Heninghou was also saying something at this time, but An Jing only heard the latter words clearly.
Heinhou's face was red, his neck was bruised, and his voice was a little hysterical.
"What do you think you are, that someone will love you?! You can't be on the table! If it weren't for the design of Ben Hou who was surnamed Huo back then, how could he touch that slut! How could there be you! ”
"The little emperor deliberately protected you from birth and grew up, just to humiliate Benhou all the time! Now you are really a shameless one! ”
An Jing's life experience starts from 17 years ago.
That year, Heninghou was still the king of Dongze, Dongze was fertile and beautiful, the products were abundant, and the Dongze Wangfu was rich. His father died early, and King Dongze has been wanting wind and rain since he was a child, and he has developed an arrogant, lascivious, perverse and stubborn appearance.
coincided with the death of the former emperor at a young age, and there was nothing in the harem. The powerful minister Huo Xiao decided to choose a suitable successor from the imperial family, and King Dongze, who had no city in his chest, became the first choice.
In this way, King Dongze rushed to Chang'an with more than 100 henchmen and his entourage. Thinking that he was going to be the emperor, he gave himself a few "favorite concubines" along the way.
After ascending the throne, King Dongze ignored the emperor's mourning period to drink wine and eat meat, and did not take into account the person who single-handedly pushed him to the throne, Huo Xiao's face was drastic, and all the officials of the inner court, palace prohibition and other departments were replaced by his own henchmen, and all kinds of performances caused Huo Xiao and other old ministers to be strongly dissatisfied.
Finally, Huo Xiao and others designed to use a palace maid, called the son of the family who had never been favored by the previous emperor, to send food to King Dongze, but in fact, they had already secretly sent someone to light an aphrodisiac incense in the palace...
The next day, King Dongze was delayed in the early court, and Huo Xiao deliberately led the ministers to the dormitory to invite. After a long time, everyone had to force their way into the temple, but they only saw the fragments of clothes scattered all over the ground, as well as the beautiful spring light in the tent.
In this regard, Huo Xiao and the ministers united with the Queen Mother to depose the King of Dongze on the grounds of excessive prostitution, lack of social protection, and lack of virtue and righteousness. and killed all the confidants and ministers brought by King Dongze.
At this time, the reign of King Dongze did not exceed a month in total.
After that, Emperor Yuan succeeded to the throne, and in order to show benevolence and righteousness, he did not kill the king of Dongze, but put him under house arrest for a year, and then relegated to this desolate place in the northwest.
It was also in the year that King Dongze was placed under house arrest in Chang'an that An Jing was born.
