Chapter 47: Hosta Flowers
As the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, the weather in the north gradually cools after the beginning of autumn, and even worse after the rain. However, the hosta flowers in the Chengqian Palace bloom well, and the fragrance of the flowers hits people after the rain, and the smell makes people feel refreshed. Banxia picked a handful and put it in a vase, and the whole room was incense.
"Later, let's pick a handful and send it to Your Majesty." Chun Yunian looked at the flowers in the vase and smiled.
Hearing this, Nanxing couldn't help laughing, and quipped: "Look at people, look at people, and find a high-sounding reason for yourself." ”
She snorted and pretended to be angry, "You talk a lot." ”
In the autumn, it gets dark faster, and the meal is also passed early, she wants to go early to have dinner with him, but she doesn't want to go to the Zhaoming Palace, Ping'an said, Your Majesty was called by the Queen Mother, today is the birthday of the first emperor, and the two went to the temple to incense.
"Why didn't my father-in-law go to serve by his side?" Banxia asked.
"Shaofu sent a batch of small yellow doors, and the small ones were taking them with them, so they didn't follow." Ping An replied with a smile.
Chun Yunian took the vase from Banxia's hand and smiled at Ping'an: "In this case, please also ask my father-in-law to help the palace put this flower on His Majesty's desk to add some vitality." ”
"The small one must be done," Ping'an took the flower, "or the mother waits in the house, Your Majesty will probably come back in a while." ”
"No, after the incense, I have to accompany the Queen Mother to eat, and I don't know when I will come back, when Your Majesty comes back, you tell him that he doesn't have to go, so he can rest and come back tomorrow." Chun Yu Nian and said.
"The subordinate sends the mother." Peace bent in court.
Back in the palace, Biyun wondered why this person came back so early, Banxia said the reason, and was busy urging people to pass the meal.
"The Empress Dowager and the first emperor have a deep affection, since the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager began to bathe and fast every year three days before the birth of the first emperor, burning incense and praying for the first emperor alone, never thought that this year but let His Majesty go together, it seems that he really treats His Majesty as her own child." Biyun said to Chun Yu Nian while distributing vegetables.
Hearing this, Chun Yunian frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "This is also a good thing, otherwise the imperial grandmother should be sad again, and it is more reassuring to have Your Majesty by her side." ”
Biyun smiled and said, "It's just that the hard work of the mother ran in vain." ”
"Don't get in the way, you'll be able to see you tomorrow." She laughed.
After dinner, Biyun said that he was going to make some close-fitting clothes for the little prince, but Chun Yu didn't know how to work with female workers, and he watched it on the side, and he even learned to thread the needle and thread, forgetting Zhao Huan to the back of his mind.
Let's say that the Empress Dowager is here, when she returned to the palace after the incense, she saw Zhao Huan's chamberlain standing outside the palace, and when she came back, she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.
"What?" When he got to the house, Ouyang asked in a harmonious voice.
Ping'an glanced at the palace people around him, and stopped talking, and waited for the Ouyang clan to send everyone down, then he bowed forward and said: "Your Majesty sent a little to tell the Empress Dowager, something happened in the previous dynasty, and His Majesty went out of the palace to cook, but I don't want the Empress to know, if the Empress asks about it, please help Your Majesty cover it up, and say that Your Majesty is accompanying you to incense." ”
"What happened to the previous dynasty?" Ouyang asked with a frown.
Ping'an told Ouyang about the day's events one by one, and when Ouyang heard it, he couldn't help but praise: "The emperor has good means." ”
Ping An echoed and said softly: "But the queen mother is still pregnant, so it is not appropriate to listen to these words, so I can only entrust you to the queen mother." ”
"The mourning family knows," she nodded, "where did the emperor go when he left the palace?" ”
"Little ones don't know."
……
The streets and alleys after the rain are very quiet, and the sound of horses' hooves falling on the bluestone slabs is particularly crisp, causing a dog to bark in the alley. The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard, and two men came out of the carriage, one of whom said something to the guard at the door, and opened the door for them to enter.
He Kuan undressed and fell asleep, and suddenly heard the servant outside the door say, "Master, Lord Ouyang is here?" ”
He frowned slightly, how could Ouyang Jie dare to come over at this juncture? He put on his robe again, hurried to the flower hall, and when he saw the people on the throne, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "He Kuan, the guilty minister, knock to see Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Huan sighed, "Get up." ”
He Kuan got up according to his words and saluted Ouyang Jie again, "Your Majesty is worried." ”
Zhao Huan glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down, "This matter is prepared by Chun Yujia, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"This time, the Chun Yu clan aimed at King Dongcheng and Lord He, cutting off the way for Lord He to be promoted to the position of the Great Priest," Ouyang Jie frowned and said: "Fortunately, you stabilized the situation and put Lord Nie in the position of the Great Priest, and he can be regarded as losing his wife and losing his troops this time." ”
He Kuan nodded, and said with some rejoicing: "When the person named Bai Lin said the so-called testimony today, I was afraid that Brother Ouyang would be involved. "After all, he was introduced to the court by Ouyang Jie.
"This matter is still inconclusive, and they don't dare to implicate Ouyang Jie in vain, and when Zhang Mian comes back, it is estimated that they will bite back again." Zhao Huan said calmly.
"Zhang Mian is a member of the Chunyu clan, if he comes back from the front line, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable, why did His Majesty send him there?" Ouyang Jie asked puzzled.
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but smile, "Zhang Mian is no longer a person from the Chun Yu clan, but he doesn't dare to offend the Chun Yu clan, he will come up with an answer that satisfies both me and Chun Yujia." As for He Kuan's disposition," he turned to look at He Kuan, smiling proudly, "What do you think about money?" ”
He Kuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, and said tentatively: "Nai...... Worldly goods? ”
"That's better," the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "It's not your mastermind, it's just that you were falsely accused by your retainers, and you are jointly and severally responsible, and part of the family property will be confiscated." ”
He Kuan: "......"
Ouyang Jie: "......"
Deceit!
"So what do we do next?" Ouyang Jie asked.
Liu Song wrote that Zhao Qian was designed by Chun Yujia to flee south, and the terrain of South Vietnam was complex and the people were fierce, and Chun Yujia would use this as an excuse to support the army and not return, and he himself was also hollowed out. Therefore, he had already arrived in Beihai first, wanting to recover Zhongshan, so that he could also use this to transfer the troops around Chun Yujia. ”
"In this way, even if he wants to support the army and not return, he will have no confidence." Ouyang Jie said.
Zhao Huan nodded, and said to He Kuan: "You have thought about it externally, so it is easy to get out and do things, you keep an eye on Chun Yuchuan, and you must find out the hiding place of Chun Yu's family and the Wei family." ”
"The minister understands!"
"As for your side," he turned to look at Ouyang Jie, "Don't tell Ouyang Yu about the affairs of the court, he is in the womb for the queen, I am afraid that he will say it, in case the queen has three long and two short, all my hard work will be in vain." ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Jie and He Kuan's hearts couldn't help but sink, but they only said yes respectfully on their faces.
Zhao Huan stood up and said to He Kuan: "As long as Chun Yujia does not claim to be the king and does not rebel, he is still the ruler of the country, and he is the general of our dynasty, Da Sima, if he has a request to be crowned king, you will wait for the opportunity to do it, understand?" ”
He Kuan got up, looked at him deeply, bowed down and said, "The minister understands!" ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Jie couldn't help but glance at Zhao Huan, only to feel a slight chill on his back.
……
Let's say that she is very interested in sewing clothes and socks for children, but she was urged by Nanxing and others to rest, and before going to bed, she did not forget to tell Biyun that no matter how ugly the clothes and socks she sew, it was also her intention as a mother, and she should not change it quietly.
Biyun smiled and said yes, busy coaxing her to sleep. After she fell asleep, Banxia smiled and said: "Our mother is good anywhere, but the female worker is too bad, look at the chicken intestines she sews, others can't change it if they want to." ”
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately burst into laughter, or Nanxing reminded them to be quieter, in case they were heard by the mother, it is estimated that they will get up and swim at night. Then the crowd lowered their voices and blew out the lamp, leaving Nanxing to keep vigil outside the dormitory.
Actually, Chun Yu Nian had heard this a long time ago, but he was too lazy to worry about them, and said that he must find a fierce husband for Banxia in the future, and see that this girl still dares to talk more. Thinking like this, I thought of his husband again, he was not fierce at all, but he didn't tell her a little truth recently. Today, did he really go to incense, or did he go out of the palace? She sighed to herself, begging her father not to think of anything wrong and put her in a dilemma.
At this time, she suddenly felt the child in her belly kick herself, she couldn't help but smile, and reached out to touch her belly, which was already slightly bulging. No matter what, as long as he is born as a prince, the status of Zhao Huan and Chun Yu will be more stable. This child is her only hope.
"Bao'er, are you asleep?"
Hearing this, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly sat up, and saw Nanxing carrying the lamp and coming in with Zhao Huan. She couldn't help but be happy in her heart, but she said, "Didn't you say you don't need to come?" ”
Zhao Huan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "I haven't seen Dabao and Xiaobao for a few days, and the widow misses it tightly." As he spoke, he kissed her on the forehead.
"Do you miss Xiaobao?" Chun Yunian said with a skeptical expression.
Zhao Huan looked at her, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "This flying vinegar is eaten, are you from Jinzhong?" ”
Chun Yu Nian: "......"
She immediately pulled her face down and turned away from him.
He couldn't help but laugh and reached out to hold her face, "Now it's all you, nerd." ”
She snorted dissatisfiedly, "Yes now, not in the future?" ”
Zhao Huan: "......"
Why did he bother to talk to her about this? Don't you know what this person likes to pick out the most? He sighed, hugged the person into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her tenderly and delicately, and let go of her only when he felt her uneven breath. He leaned on her shoulder, and after a long while, he said in a dumb voice: "If it weren't for your weight now, I really want you to see how much I miss you!" As he spoke, he bit her neck lightly and heavily.
These two people haven't done Zhou Gong's gift for a long time, and when he just kissed her, she was already a little confused, and she didn't react until the child in her womb kicked her.
She hurriedly pushed the person away, and said with a disgusted face: "Stay away from me, you smell of incense." ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, "Accompany the emperor's grandmother to burn paper incense, and Zhaoming Hall came directly without returning, naturally smelling of incense." ”
"Hurry up and go to the clean room and wash up, otherwise you won't be allowed to go to bed." She feigned ferocity.
"Okay, okay, I'll wash the white and rub the incense." As he spoke, he reluctantly dropped a kiss on her lips.
"Virtue!" She couldn't help poking his head and laughing, "It's been flamboyant all day!" ”
"Because I love you, my baby!"
Looking at Zhao Huan's back as she went out, the smile on her face gradually lowered, if he really lied to her today, it would be terrible!
