Chapter 071: The Light of Fuso
Du Qingyi was not in a hurry, took out a gauze and wiped the water stains folded in the sleeves, and said:
"Miss Anu, who was that person just now? With an original accent, it seems that I am quite familiar with you. ”
Hua Qing lost her mind, she looked at the place where Mo Huaijin disappeared steadily, that person, as before, will never look back when he leaves.
"Anu girl, come up!"
"Oh."
The seventh prince had already gotten into the carriage, she hurriedly handed over her hand to Du Qingyi, who was sitting in front of the door, and pulled her, when the groom lowered the curtain, she saw a flashing figure, the man in Xuanyi who was riding a tall horse next to the emperor's sedan chair.
Xiao Zhan? How could he come? She hurriedly sat back, eager to press her back against the car wall, lest Xiao Zhan find her. As soon as he turned around, he stared at her intently at the eyes of the Seventh Prince, so he said:
"Seventh Prince, aren't you going to meet Jinshang?"
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard her question, why did he go to see Jinshang? Hua Qing explained at this time:
"Since there is the support of the guards of Jinshang just now, Jinshang must know that you are here, and he will leave before we arrive, so wouldn't it be good?"
The Seventh Prince sneered, didn't explain, didn't let the carriage stop, just rushed forward leisurely, but he was still a little happy in his heart, because Hua Qing finally knew how to put himself in his shoes.
Hua Qing looked at him and smiled strangely, and wanted to ask him, but she didn't ask after all. Because he won't answer when asked. simply turned around and asked Du Qingyi outside the curtain.
"By the way, Tsing Yi, you haven't told me how they recognized the identity of the Seventh Prince?"
Hua Qing opened the curtain of the car, Du Qingyi, who was sitting in front of the car, was holding a withered grass, looking lazy at this time, hearing Hua Qing's question, he turned around and glanced at the Seventh Prince, and saw that he was in a state of acquiescence, so he replied:
"They should have recognized the outfit of the Black Snake Army and the purple clothes of the Seventh Prince."
"The Black Snake Army?"
"Hmm. The mother of the seventh prince, the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, is the granddaughter of the founding general Huo Mei, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. The first emperor loved talent, and after persuasion, General Huo still retired, and the first emperor gave 100 Jingwei to accompany General Huo. And these 100 Jingwei are the ancestors of the 'Black Snake Army' you see today. ”
After hearing this, Hua Qing said suspiciously:
"Unload your armor and return to the field? Shouldn't we go back to farming, catching the sea, collecting clams and so on? How is it still a military? ”
Du Qingyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked rhetorically:
"What the hell? Catch the sea, collect clams? No, no, no, although the hundred Jingwei followed General Huo back to their hometown, they were different from ordinary slaves after all. They are the same as General Huo, although they are no longer in the court and on the battlefield, they still take it. Their titles can still be passed down from generation to generation, and there are only two conditions: first, there is a war in Fusang, and the edict must be returned. The second is that General Huo's family decided to abolish their guard duties. Otherwise, they will always be the Huo family's army, and they will always be the guards raised by the imperial court for the Huo family. ”
Hua Qing fainted after hearing this:
"Then what does this have to do with the identity of the Seventh Prince?"
Du Qingyi held his forehead and said:
"Don't worry. Didn't you just say that Empress Dowager Zhang Yi was General Huo's granddaughter? Empress Dowager Zhang Yi's father, Huo Dan, attacked the marquis of General Huo, and during his reign, he had destroyed the Kou several times and made many military exploits, which were mainly attributed to the Black Snake Army. But General Huo's son is weak, and he only has two daughters, the eldest daughter died early, and the younger daughter is the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi. Although she is a daughter, the style and temperament of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi are very similar to the founding general Huo Mei, so she is deeply loved by Huo Dan. ”
"Empress Dowager Zhang Yi has not been an idle woman since she was a child, she has outstanding talent, especially in riding and archery, she can really be described as a hundred shots. The Queen Mother's father, Huo Dan, often sighed: It's a pity that it's a daughter! The Queen Mother often said at that time: Why should the father sigh, women can also race against men. Because of the family's background, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is a well-known beauty, so when she reaches the age of cardamom, the people who propose marriage have to break through the threshold of the Huo family, but the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is stunned by the talents who come to propose. Soon after, the first emperor ascended the throne, when the first emperor had several wives and concubines, and selected women with both talent and virtue to fill the harem, the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi entered the palace at this time, and because of her true temperament, she was deeply favored by the first emperor, and the two were in harmony, and three years later the queen mother gave birth to the eldest son of the seventh prince. ”
After hearing this, Hua Qing nodded and said:
"The eldest son? But I look at the appearance of the Seventh Prince, who looks much smaller than today. The Seventh Prince looks about the same age as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he is the father of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is really ..... A bit far. ”
"Sorry, Miss Anu, you don't know anything. In Fusang, the eldest son is only counted if the wife gives birth. Like today's saint, it was born by a side concubine at that time, so although he is much older than the seventh prince, it can only be regarded as a concubine, not a concubine. There is still a big difference between the concubine and the concubine in Fuso. ”
"Tsing Yi, when you say this, it seems that I have never seen the world, of course I know this, not to mention Fusang, the Central Plains is also like this, and there is a difference between the concubines."
Du Qingyi nodded with satisfaction at this time and continued:
"When the first emperor was still the prince, he married several wives and concubines, and there was a concubine before, but she died in childbirth, and since then, until the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not choose a wife, and the side concubines were several. As for these side concubines, they have followed him for many years, so when the first emperor was still the prince, he already had his own children, for example, Jinshang was born when the first emperor was still the prince, but those children, including Jinshang, were all born without exception. ”
Hua Qing continued to nod her head and understand. Du Qingyi continued:
"In Fusang, the queen's rights are very great, so the first emperor has been leaving this position vacant, and after waiting for many years, he finally waited for the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi sat in this position two years after entering the palace, you will definitely say that the two years have risen so fast, will the people below be unconvinced, but surprisingly, no one has an objection. In the second year when the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi sat on the throne, the seventh prince was born, and the first emperor named him "Ye", which means "the light of Fusang", which shows that the first emperor had high hopes for the seventh prince at that time.
He is the eldest son of the first emperor and a righteous prince, but he ....."
"But what?"
"But the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is ...... with the Seventh Prince"
Du Qingyi glanced up at the Seventh Prince, and saw that he seemed to be fine, so he dared to say in a low voice:
"On the grounds of illness, he persuaded the first emperor to establish the present as the prince, and prayed that the first emperor would incorporate the Black Snake Army into the mansion of the Seven Princes, so as to protect the safety of the Seven Princes full-time, and the first emperor agreed one by one. And the Black Snake Army, as the army that secretly protects the Seven Princes, not many people even know about it in Fuso, so how did your friend know? ”
Hua Qing wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't know why Mo Huaijin knew about this secret, but Mo Huaijin's identity was special, and she really couldn't confess his identity at this time.
When the Seventh Prince saw that she was in trouble, he coughed slightly, so Du Qingyi didn't want to ask again. The car was quiet for a while, and the clever Du Qingyi said at this time:
"By the way, the Seventh Prince, Miss Anu, just now Tsing Yi saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince following Jinshang, I don't think he will return to the East Palace for a while, and Miss Anu doesn't need to rush back, it's not yet noon at this time, why don't we go hunting in the suburbs?"
"Hunting?"
Hua Qing was very surprised and looked back at the Seventh Prince. I saw that he nodded in agreement without objection. Du Qingyi and the Seventh Prince's serious appearance didn't seem like a joke, Hua Qing hurriedly shook his head and said:
"What do you think is a play? Don't, today is my birthday, in southern Xinjiang, the birthday is not allowed to kill, it will be a long life, unlucky, I will not go. ”
At this time, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of the Seventh Prince. He didn't expect that today would be Anu's birthday, it was a coincidence that he bumped into him. He motioned for Du Qingyi to turn his back and wrote a few words on his back, Du Qingyi frowned slightly, and asked:
"Seventh Prince, are you sure you want to take Anu there?"
The Seventh Prince turned his head to look at Du Qingyi, Du Qingyi saw his eyes, and said, "Why, do you have the right to question even this king's order?" was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, but nodded his head "good".
Hua Qing didn't know what the Seventh Prince had written, but Du Qingyi instructed the coachman in Fusang on the side, and the coachman continued to drive forward.
Hua Qing was still sad that she was destined to not be able to eat the clam egg soup made by A-Niang on her birthday this year, at this time Du Qingyi gave her a palm unexpectedly, patted her on the shoulder, and she shouted very dissatisfied:
"Hey, Tsing Yi, can you make a little more effort? I'm going to be dislocated from your shoulder! ”
Du Qingyi was a little embarrassed, and said later:
"I'm not thinking about things because you want to think about things, and I didn't respond to calling you, I'll pay attention next time. By the way, Miss Anu, the Seventh Prince wants to invite you to a place, will you go? ”
"Huh? Don't go, right? I went back to the East Palace late last night, and I got drunk again, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his temper. ”
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he felt that something was wrong, Du Qingyi understood his face and asked Hua Qing:
"What did you just say?"
Hua Qing only realized that she had lost her speech at this time, how could she say that the prince had lost his temper in front of others?
"Ahaha, nothing, nothing."
Hua Qing began to look around at him. Du Qingyi saw that the Seventh Prince's face was not very good, so he said to Hua Qing earnestly:
"Miss Anu, the person of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better not to get too close to him, he is really not the best destination for you."
After Hua Qing heard this, her face was full of embarrassment, she almost blurted out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also persuaded her not to associate with the Seventh Prince last night, it seems that it is really not a family that does not enter the door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people around the Seventh Prince even speak in the same caliber, but who to communicate with is her own business, right? What are they talking about? However, Tsing Yi said that the best destination was simply insulting him.
