Chapter 208: My heart was pounding
Sihan was shocked, her heart beat violently, and in a panic, she reached into his mouth violently, ready to eat, but at this moment, the national teacher suddenly brushed her aside, and then the slender fingers slammed the young emperor's back a few times.
Instantly, the young emperor hung his head sideways, and immediately retched, and for a while, the things in his mouth immediately vomited, and when everything was finished, he coughed uncontrollably, his body trembled, and he coughed nonstop.
Sihan's eyes were full of panic, his face was distressed, and he was about to subconsciously step closer again, but before he moved, the national teacher suddenly ordered, "Pour a cup of tea for the emperor." ”
A distant voice, cold and calm.
These words are in the ears, like a clear stream, which is inexplicably reassuring.
Sihan came back to his senses completely, his sanity retracted, and when he turned his eyes to look at the national teacher, he saw that the national teacher was holding the young emperor with one hand and pinching the young emperor's dragon robe with the other, and his distant pupils were looking at Sihan, and his wrinkled face was also extremely rare to roll out a little heaviness and worry.
Sihan glanced at him, then pretended to be a natural lowering of his eyes, and then slowly took two steps forward and reached out to pour tea.
When the cup of tea was full, the young emperor finally stopped coughing.
Sihan's complexion gradually relaxed, and when he turned his eyes to look at the young emperor, he saw that his white face had regained a little ruddy, and the whole person had also regained his calm a little.
Seeing him like this, his heart became more and more relieved, Sihan forcibly pressed his heart, his fingertips moved slightly, and handed the teacup in his hand in front of the young emperor.
"Wei'er drink some tea first to moisten her throat." She said gently and peacefully.
As soon as these words fell, the young emperor did not reach out to take the cup, but after hesitating for a moment with a frown, he finally reached out to take it, and then raised his head slightly, and poured the tea in his hand violently.
When everything was finished, he put down the empty cup, suddenly turned his head to the national teacher and said, "National teacher, I am full, can I get off the table and read the book first?" I haven't finished reading two pages of the Analects yet, and I want to finish those two pages before I go to bed tonight. ”
Sihan's pupils shrank, and the gaze that fell on the young emperor's face deepened slightly.
The national teacher looked at the young emperor with distant eyes, and stared for a moment, but he never stopped him after all, but only opened his thin lips and said slowly: "Yes." After the emperor and the eldest princess have a good conversation, they can go to the desk to read. ”
The young emperor nodded respectfully, turned his head to look at Sihan, but only glanced at it quickly, and then lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Wei'er has gone to read a book, the imperial sister and the national teacher, eat slowly." ”
As soon as these words fell, the young emperor did not delay, and his small body immediately jumped off the round stool with a little dexterity, and then quickly stepped to the imperial table not far away and sat down.
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere returned to silence again, silent and depressing.
Seeing that his young emperor began to open the pages, and then lowered his eyes to read the book seriously, Sihan's pupils shrank, and finally turned around, his thoughts flipped and swayed, and his mood was depressed.
"The meal was a little cold, but it was still palatable. Over the years, it is rare for the teacher to eat at the same table with Sihan, and now I will take this opportunity to eat at the same table and gather with good students. At this moment, the distant voice of the national teacher came slightly.
These words entered his ears, but Sihan frowned slightly, and he had no intention of doing it.
"The words of the national teacher are also a bit excessive, you and the words of this palace, there is never a real apprenticeship, and there is no such thing as a master-apprentice relationship. Moreover, the palace is old enough to not pursue the name of the national teacher and the palace, and the palace has been so preferential, and it does not pursue the past of the national teacher. If there is anything wrong with the emperor after returning to Dao Xingshan this time, at that time, don't blame the palace for not remembering the old feelings and bullying the old teacher. ”
She said this a little bluntly, although her tone was cold and hard, but it was undoubtedly said in disguise and majesty.
When the Tanglin country was broken, although she resented that the national teacher had never come out to save the country in person, this resentment gradually dissipated with time, but the resentment against the national teacher in her heart was not too strong, but she Yan Sihan was unwilling to bow her head too much in front of the national teacher after all.
It doesn't matter if she is stubborn, or if she wants to save face, but now it makes no sense to dig deeper, but the only thing is that she Yan Sihan is now, don't be too close to anyone, so as not to be disturbed by love and be restrained, and treat this national teacher, you can also point to it, and don't rely on and rely on it too much.
Now she understands that only she can really rely on herself when she lives in the world, and the rest of the people can believe it if she can believe it, but if she can't believe it, she won't believe it, and it is not a bad thing to keep a little distance from others.
His thoughts were churning and swaying, and his complexion was becoming more and more complex and distant.
"Your Majesty, rest assured."
At this moment, the national teacher spoke in a low voice.
Sihan no longer spoke, nor raised his eyes to look at him, just nodded naturally, and then slowly took the chopsticks and ate for himself.
This time, I have no appetite, and the dishes in my mouth are also unconscious and chewing wax.
After a few bites of food, Sihan had no intention of eating again, so he naturally put down his chopsticks and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it will be handed over to the national teacher." At this time, it was getting late, and the palace would go back to Fengqi Palace first. ”
As soon as these words fell, the national teacher did not speak.
Sihan frowned slightly, waited for a while, and then pressed his heart, and was about to get up, but unexpectedly, before he could make a move, the national teacher had already said calmly: "For the teacher...... I'll send you. ”
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "No need." The national teacher guarding the emperor here is the greatest help to the palace. ”
She said these words coldly and crisply, and before all the notes fell, she quickly got up, pretending to be calm and walked towards the temple gate not far away.
The whole process, the atmosphere is quiet, however, behind him, there is no sound raised, after stepping out of the palace door, Sihan finally stopped again, hesitated for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw the young emperor sitting upright next to the imperial table, who was quietly immersed in reading, and did not look at her.
Between family affection, it is sad and desolate to be able to be estranged so far.
Sihan's pupils shrank more and more, his brows furrowed, and then he didn't want to stay any longer, just turned his eyes to look at Mama Zhou, who was waiting on the side, and said in a low voice: "Close the door." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mama Zhou and several palace slaves did not delay any longer, and immediately stood outside the palace gate and slowly closed the door.
After all the doors of the palace were closed and the squeaking sound had completely stopped, Sihan raised his eyes to look at the place where the lights were lit in the distance, and then lowered his eyes and slowly walked forward.
The night is cool.
The oncoming wind also looks a little cool and biting.
Winding all the way, the thoughts are full of distant eyes, and the thoughts are drifting bottomlessly.
Shan Zhongze and several palace slaves followed quietly, and their footsteps were slightly subtle, making it inconvenient to disturb each other.
When he returned to Fengqi Palace, he was full of tiredness, Sihan refused the lighting of the palace slave, and was only alone in the palace, took off his outer skirt and began to sleep on the couch.
Probably because these two days are really too tiring, or the things to deal with in these two days are also extremely complicated, so this relaxation and quietness, the whole person is extremely tired.
After all the noisy thoughts were abandoned, Sihan began to slowly close his eyes and fall asleep.
This sleep, but it was a moment of complete sleep.
I had no dreams all night, and I was inexplicably sleepy.
The next day, Sihan also woke up very early, and after freshening up, he entered the palace with a leaflet Zhongze, and asked in a low voice: "The national teacher and the emperor, can you leave the palace?" ”
Shan Zhongze said respectfully: "The national teacher is sending someone to report, saying that everything is ready, and he is about to leave the palace with the emperor and go to the mountain." ”
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he nodded indifferently.
After a moment of silence, she slowly got up and walked towards the temple gate not far away.
Outside the hall, the morning breeze is blowing, refreshing and appropriate.
Sihan's clothes were slightly thin, and the wind was blowing into her bones, she couldn't help but pull her skirt, and then walked towards the attic near the palace gate in the palace.
Meandering all the way, under the feet, it is also a little faster.
--- digression--- I've been really busy lately, and I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Yuanzier will definitely take the time to update more in the next few days, and I hope you will forgive me first.
When I had to climb the three-story attic not far from the palace gate and stand by the railing, the light breeze came slightly, slightly rolling a little uncomfortable coolness.
The broken hair on his forehead was also swayed wantonly by the light wind, and it was slightly messy.
It was only a moment, Shan Zhongze found a cloak out of nowhere and respectfully handed it to Sihan.
Sihan subconsciously lowered his eyes, glanced at him, and then looked back, and said coldly and distantly: "No need." Pick-up"
As soon as these words fell, his eyes were once again quietly fixed at the palace gate, silent. But after a while, there was already a group of people gradually out of the palace gate, and when they were about to step into the carriage, outside the palace gate, the child full of Ming Huang suddenly stopped, and his little head suddenly looked towards the palace gate, looking at it stupidly and stubbornly.
In just a moment, the national teacher who was covered in dark clothes walked slowly to the young emperor's side, I don't know what to say, and then, the young emperor slowly came back to his senses, and then boarded the carriage with the national teacher's traction.
The group quickly got on the horse, and then began to move away quickly.
When the carriage completely disappeared at the end of the road, Sihan's stiff and distant pupils returned to his senses slightly, and between the ups and downs of his face, an inexplicable distance and coldness swelled more and more in his heart.
"Eldest princess, it's windy here, let's go back to Fengqi Palace to rest first."
At this moment, Shan Zhongze's resoluteness: "The respectful voice slowly rose.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he didn't speak, his eyes still fell faintly at the end of the road outside the palace city, and he said in a low voice: "Commander Wang, you said that this palace is so insistent on letting the national teacher bring the emperor back to Daoxing Mountain to practice, but is it wrong?" ”
She also clearly found that although her own young emperor had great opinions about herself, but even so, her own young emperor was unwilling to leave the palace.
The immature figure of the young emperor stood quietly outside the palace gate, quietly looking back at the palace gate, such a look and posture, really like a child who left home, reluctant and contradictory, thin and thin.
The young emperor of his own family, after all, is the emperor, this time he was sent to Daoxing Mountain to suffer Qingxiu, and I don't know if he will adapt to it since he was a child, and whether he will blame her more and more for making him suffer......
Thoughts are churning and swaying, and for a while, the mood is inexplicably distant and low.
After a while, Shan Zhongze's resolute and respectful voice rose slightly, "In terms of the courage of the subordinates, the emperor's nature is really slightly stubborn, yes, this time the eldest princess asked the national teacher to take the emperor into the mountain to cultivate, cultivate body and mind, and sharpen her will and character, and her subordinates think that the eldest princess's move is not inappropriate, and it is even very beneficial to the emperor." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes slightly, and saw that Sihan did not react, and the whole person was still looking at the end of the road in front of the palace gate quietly, without saying a word.
Shan Zhongze frowned slightly, and sighed secretly, it was a moment, he hesitated for a moment, his thin lips opened, and finally he spoke again, "When the emperor grows up and is sensible, he will understand the eldest princess's hard work." Therefore, the eldest princess does not have to worry too much at this time, and the next time the eldest princess sees the emperor, all the misunderstandings and contradictions have disappeared. ”
Is it?
Sihan's expression moved slightly, his thoughts flipped, but he still didn't make a sound.
These days, as long as it is about the young emperor, others will persuade that the young emperor is young, and when he grows up, he will understand her painstaking efforts.
It's a pity that her young emperor, because her young emperor is young, should be innocent, and treat relatives more affectionately and trusting, if you don't even trust it at this time, or even resist and disgust, some things have taken root in his young heart, so, increasingly strong and growing, that is, he has grown up, Xu Yes, he may not really understand her.
At this point, the thoughts are far away, but even so, there is still nothing to be done after all.
Some things still have to be proved by time after all, not only her Yan Sihan's intentions, but also the temperament and understanding of her young emperor.
If his own young emperor can really have the sage of a Ming monarch, that is, he will resist her when he grows up and treat her badly, but as long as his young emperor is a Ming monarch, diligent and honest, and even a villain far away, she Yan Sihan is suffering and wronged, abused and alienated, and it is also worth it.
Thoughts are long and long, undulating and swaying.
After being silent for a long time, Sihan finally opened his lips, and said hoarsely: "I hope it, I hope the emperor can understand the painstaking efforts of the palace, but as long as the emperor can be taught by the national teacher to become a Ming monarch, the emperor will not understand the palace and the palace in the future, and there will be no complaints." ”
As soon as these words fell, he turned around and looked at Shan Zhongze, and without waiting for him to speak, Sihan said casually: "Let's go." I haven't been to the court for a few days, and today no matter what, I should go to the Qinzheng Palace to have a look. ”
As soon as the tail note fell, the foot did not delay any longer, and immediately walked forward slowly.
Shan Zhongze's brows frowned slightly, and his expression was slightly complicated, but in a moment, he finally pressed all his thoughts, and slowly turned around and followed Sihan.
All the way downstairs, but also all the way forward, even if he was full of casualness and his hair was scattered, Sihan never took care of it too much, and just went straight to the palace of diligence.
When she arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, there were palace slaves outside the hall who saw her coming slowly, and they were all startled, and then hurriedly shouted, "The eldest princess has arrived."
In an instant, the hall was originally a diligent palace with a slight discussion, but it suddenly fell silent.
In the silence, Sihan's face was cold, and he slowly walked into the hall, or maybe he was full of casualness, not too dressed, and when he was waiting to move forward slowly, his body was also full of surprised eyes from all around.
During the whole process, Sihan didn't say a word, his pace was steady and calm, and when he sat down on the main seat, he saw his eyes slowly sweeping downward, ignoring the surprised and undulating gazes of the ministers, and said in a low voice: "The palace has not been in the court for two days, why, and now the ministers are staring at the palace like this, don't you know each other?" ”
The hoarse voice was low and slightly provocative, but the majesty in the tone was undisguised.
As soon as these words came out, the people present suddenly lowered their eyes and shook their heads.
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he didn't want to worry more about the ministers, so he only said: "In the past two days, up and down Tanglin, can something important happen?" ”
She asked extremely bluntly, coldly and dignifiedly.
When her voice fell, her eyes swept among the ministers again, and she saw that the old Song Taifu had already stood in front of the hundred officials, but Lan Yeyu and Zhan Wenyi were both absent.
Zhan Wenyi is seriously ill on the couch, and I don't know if he is healthy at this time, yes, Zhan Wenyi's absence from the court is reasonable, and Lan Yeyu is ......
At this point, Sihan's brows frowned slightly.
At this moment, Song Taifu took the initiative to take a step forward and said respectfully: "In the past two days, two important events have indeed happened in Tanglin, just because, the eldest princess has been married in the past two days, and it is inconvenient for Yiweichen and others to inform the eldest princess of this matter, so as not to worry the eldest princess and disturb the wedding celebration." But now that the eldest princess has returned to the court, it is time to report those two things to the eldest princess. ”
Mrs. Song said these words very seriously, and there was a little undisguised complexity in his tone.
Sihan was slightly stunned, his complexion changed slightly, and then he didn't delay, and immediately asked: "I don't know, what happened to Tanglin in the past two days?" ”
Song Taifu frowned slightly, slowly lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "In the middle of the day before yesterday, a letter from the border pass was sent to Kyoto, claiming that a few days ago, there were suddenly people at the border pass making food, burning and plundering the people of the border pass. With such military merits, the three princes should have been promoted to generals, but the three princes did not want to be entitled, but they only wanted to go back to the palace to visit their relatives. ”
Visit?
When these words came into his ears, Sihan's pupils shrank suddenly.
She didn't expect that Zheqian had such a ability, but he had just entered the customs for less than a month, and he was able to lead the army to quell the rebellion, such a person is undoubtedly brave and strategic, and fortunately that person is far away at the border, not in this Tanglin court, if not, with the power of that Zheqian, he also has the ability to disturb the pond of this Tanglin Palace.
It's just that this time Zheqian has made military merits, and he really deserves to be rewarded, so he proposed to return to Beijing to visit relatives, and this so-called family visit is the focus on visiting the young emperor or visiting...... Lady?
At this point, his heart sank slightly, but even so, Sihan never showed half of it on his face.
She still sits upright, even if she has never been crowned with a phoenix robe, or worn with a phoenix crown, but she is also cold and majestic.
She looked at Mrs. Song with distant eyes, but did not speak immediately.
