Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter 1 Treading the snow and looking for plums
The New Year is over tonight, and the New Year is coming tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor's imperial pen had been sealed for a week, and large and small folds were piled up like snowflakes in the East Warm Pavilion of Longqing Hall.
Naturally, it also includes Wu Jingmo's report on the Jiang family's extermination case, as well as the impeachment of the prince and Prime Minister Tang Yuanzhi by the large and small officials under King Xuan.
According to the rules of the Dajing Dynasty, every year on the day of the lunar month, the then Emperor Jing must burn the famous incense and pay tribute sincerely, seal the pen for seven days, until the morning of the first day of the new year, before the window opens.
During the sealing period, unless there is a major military situation, which must be personally interrogated by the emperor, other large and small affairs are not allowed to be played, so as not to disturb the rare recuperation of the guardian god of the imperial pen in a year.
In the past few days, Emperor Jing has rarely been idle, and he has joined hands with the beauties of the harem to visit the garden, treading the snow to find plum blossoms, and chanting poems.
Although life must be happy, the emperor is always the most dazzling and unpleasant person in the world.
If you don't stand on the top of the highest mountain, you will never be able to indulge in this supreme loneliness and desolation.
It's just that the princes don't understand it yet!
Emperor Jing looked at the clusters of red plums in full swing in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an imperceptible smile flashed across his face.
In a few seconds, the two knife-like arcs at the corners of his mouth returned to their usual resolute and deep form.
"Your Majesty! Look! There! Isn't it a magpie? ”
A young and delicate woman carried the big skirt of her brocade robe with great interest, and trotted all the way to him from the path behind Emperor Jing.
I saw her grab Emperor Jing's arm, tilt her head, raise her chin high, and point to the birds that had stayed on the red plums for a while.
The woman's innocent and pretty smile is also like the blooming red plum blossoms.
The warm winter sun plated the curvature of her face with a layer of honey-like faint amber luster, and it seemed like a spring breeze.
"Nian Jiao, Hugh is rude! The forbidden place of the palace, how can you be allowed to run and jump! There is really a mischief! When you see the emperor, don't you hurry up and salute and thank you? ”
A low, serious reprimand immediately dispelled the bright smile on her face.
Before the man's words fell, she pouted a cherry mouth, shook Emperor Jing's arm aggrievedly, and said coquettishly with a long tail note:
"Grandpa Huang! I miss you! It's only a year to see you today! But some people are still disappointed! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Grandpa Huang, you have to support me today! ”
After speaking, the woman turned her face slightly, and glanced quickly in the direction she came from with her peripheral vision, but she didn't dare to raise her head to face it.
"You kid! People say that the eighteenth year of women's college has changed, I look at you, but it hasn't changed at all! It's still exactly the same as when I was a kid! Hahaha......"
Emperor Jing gently poked Nianjiao's head and laughed heartily.
"I'll just say, as long as the imperial grandfather sees me, he will be happy, I am the imperial grandfather's pistachio!"
Nian said arrogantly to the person who knelt down to reprimand.
The woman's face on the snow was cloudy for a while, and she wanted to reprimand again, but she was afraid of upsetting the emperor's interest, so she had to knock the middle-aged man who was kneeling side by side with her elbow.
The middle-aged man immediately opened his mouth wide and said:
"Nian, Nianjiao! It's really bigger and more unruly! When I saw your imperial grandfather, you still didn't kneel? Get down on your knees! Otherwise, don't blame your father, and serve your father when he returns to his home to serve the family law! ”
The content of his words seems to be majestic, but he has no deterrent power when he says it.
I only heard the county lord of Nian Jiao dragging a long tail and said coquettishly:
"Father's ......"
"Ming'er, Feige, get up first!"
Emperor Jing lowered his eyes, glanced at the kneeling sons and daughters-in-law, and said lightly.
"Thank you, Father!"
The two couples thanked each other in unison.
"Nianjiao, don't thank you Emperor Grandpa soon!"
The woman named Feige said sharply.
"Nian Jiao has seen the emperor's grandfather! Thank you for your grandfather's blessing! ”
The county lord of Nianjiao obediently knelt on the ground and made a big salute, and before Emperor Jing could say anything, he got up suddenly, took Emperor Jing's arm again, smiled smartly, and said:
"Grandpa Huang! Do you want to go there with Nianjiao to see the magpies? Look at this Chinese New Year's Eve, a day of reunion, there is a magpie flying plum to welcome spring, it is really auspicious! It indicates that in the new year, we will have a smooth wind and rain, and my imperial grandfather will be blessed with Jin'an! ”
"You girl! It's really a good mouth! If you say that, I won't be able to punish you! Hahaha......"
Emperor Jing laughed again, looked red, and laughed freely, and continued:
"Nian Jiao! If I'm not mistaken, you'll be sixteen in the New Year! It's time to get married! ”
"Oops! Grandpa! Don't get married! Nianjiao wants to stay by the emperor's grandfather's side and accompany the emperor's grandfather for the rest of his life! ”
The county lord of Nianjiao dragged Emperor Jing's arm and shook it again and again, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he lowered his head and said shyly.
"Yo! You're still going to be shy! Don't worry, your imperial grandfather is reluctant to let you marry so early! ”
Before Emperor Jing could open his mouth, the father of the county lord couldn't wait to grab the words.
After this robbery was over, he felt that it was very impolite, so he had to bow his head in a deep voice, for fear of displeasing Emperor Jing.
"Father Mingjian, Nian Jiao is still young, besides, she was pampered by us on weekdays, and she has a delicate temperament, I am afraid that she will have to be trained a lot, so as not to marry out and affect the face of the heavenly family."
The mother concubine of the county lord hurriedly knelt down again, and made up a mouthful.
Hearing the word "marry", her lustful and inward-looking energy just now disappeared without a trace, and she became panicked and stared nervously at the snow in front of her.
"Oops, oops! Nian Jiao does not marry! Grandpa, the mother concubine is right, they are still young, and they haven't grown up yet! ”
Nianjiao saw that her father, queen and mother were all supporting her, and she became even more courageous, and said coquettishly.
"Help your mother to get up!"
Emperor Jing's sharp gaze swept over, turned his hands behind his back, turned his face to the crown king, and asked:
"Ming'er, your new son, have you seen it?"
"Not yet! As soon as Erchen returned to Beijing, he immediately entered the imperial city to face the saint, and he didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and he didn't have time to see him. ”
The crown king replied respectfully, and when he mentioned his new son, he had the same look as he had just now.
"Then see you at the family dinner tonight!"
Emperor Jing put his hand behind his back again, and strode forward.
As he walked, he said, "Nianjiao, didn't you say you were going to see the magpies?" Let's go, Grandpa Huang will go with you to take a look! It's rare for you to return to Beijing from Changzhou, and you've been coming to the imperial city a lot in the past few days......"
