Chapter 1 Wende Palace
A few days of continuous light rain made the air also have a bit of lingering meaning, and the imperial city shrouded in fog has a unique style in its majesty.
In the morning, Chai Xuyun put on a honey pigment flower grosgrain, draped in emerald water and thin smoke veil, with a set of pure jade ornaments, eyebrows lightly swept, lightly applied powder, had breakfast, and then took a walk straight to the Wende Palace.
Seeing her coming, Wang Jien, the head of the inner palace, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the county lord came down by coincidence, Princess Changqing has just entered, and Concubine Pan Shu is also inside, talking to the emperor!" Minion, this is for you. ”
"Concubine Pan?" Chai Xiyun asked rhetorically, and then said, "But the daughter of Pan Mei of Tongping Zhangshi, the one who just entered the palace." ”
"Exactly, now, this lady is not small." Wang Jien smiled, and hurriedly said, "The slave will inform you first." ”
Wang Jien was just about to turn around, but he heard a man's low voice from inside the room, "Is Yun'er here?" Let her in. ”
Wang Jien hurriedly flashed and said with a smile, "County Lord, please." ”
Chai Xiyun brought his personal maid to visit Qin inside, owed ten thousand blessings, and said, "Erchen asks the imperial uncle for peace." ”
"Get up and sit on your own." Zhao Guangyi waved his hand.
"Uncle Xie Huang".
As soon as Chai Xuyun stood up, Zhao Yuanwei pulled her to her side and said with a smile, "I knew that you would also come today, so I would go around to your palace to join you." ”
"I should say this, I come to ask the emperor uncle every day, you can't see anyone for three days, this is not yet married, why, you only care about your husband's family and can't take care of your mother's family!" Chai Xiyun covered her lips and chuckled, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help laughing a few times, only Zhao Yuanwei said angrily, "Father, take care of this girl, you will make fun of your son." ”
Zhao Guangyi lowered his head, wrote something in his hand, and replied with a smile, "I don't care about your lawsuit." ”
Zhao Yuanwei chuckled, pulled Chai Xiyun to sit together, and only heard the woman's tactful voice in her ears, "When the concubine was at home, I heard that His Royal Highness the county lord was peerless and extraordinary. ”
Chai Xiyun subconsciously looked at the woman standing beside Zhao Guangyi grinding, wearing a dark cloud palace dress, gorgeous clothes, delicate makeup, full of charm, talking about appearance, but it is one of the best in this harem concubine, Chai Xuyun looked at it, and he had a number in his heart, and he was afraid that it was the favored Pan Shufei in front of him, and then responded, "The lady concubine praised the lady, the palace accompanied the queen mother to worship the Buddha a few days ago, and often lived in the West Palace. ”
"The county lord's words are serious" Without waiting for the two to finish greeting, Zhao Guangyi turned sideways and asked, "Yun'er has lived in the deep palace for a long time and rarely goes out, but you can tell me how this rumor is rumored." ”
Concubine Pan Surong bowed, "The county lord often goes in and out of the Nanqing Palace, and the officials in Beijing are fortunate to see it, even if it is a woman and a girl, she is full of praise when she sees her face, not to mention that it is a man in the world, so everyone says that the county lord of Yongan is a rare stunner beauty in this world." ”
"Hahahaha" Before Pan Surong's words fell, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help laughing, looked at Chai Xuyun again, and said, "Yes, Yun'er can afford this." ”
"Uncle Huang praised it falsely."
"Today you have humbled yourself." Zhao Guangyi's voice paused, and then said, "Yan Zhenqing's regular script "Farewell Post", your uncle asked for it from a former Tang Moke, and I just sent it before, I haven't seen it yet, so I'll give you a look first." ”
"Uncle really found it." Chai Xuyun got up unconsciously, stepped forward to take the ink treasure from Zhao Guangyi's hand, carefully took it out, stretched out a corner, and smiled at Zhao Yuanwei, who also came forward, and praised, "Yan Gong's real work is really extraordinary." After speaking, he bowed to Zhao Guangyi again, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Huang." ”
"You should thank your uncle, you can't take your eyes off these literati and ink treasures when you see them." After speaking, Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Yuanwei, sighed and said, "It's strange to say, Empress Yide (Princess Fu Yu of Jin) is quite literate, why can't you learn your mother's elegance." ”
"When my mother was alive, she also taught her sons carefully, but her sons were not interested." Zhao Yuanwei casually mentioned it nonchalantly.
Chai Xiyun handed Mobao to Wanqin, and then quipped, "Yuan Wei has such a temperament, don't say that she paints and writes, even if she honestly stays in the house and tastes tea, she can't sit still." ”
After Chai Xuyun finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to Zhao Guangyi's side, and Zhao Yuanwei made a scene of fighting, and complained, "Okay, you, you've always provoked me recently, see if I don't tell Brother Qiwang, so that he doesn't have to say hello to you, and snatch all your good things." ”
"Okay, good" Zhao Guangyi grabbed one with one hand and persuaded, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, look at you, you are all big girls, and they are all children." ”
Zhao Yuanwei couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and pulled Zhao Guangyi's clothes and said, "Even if we are going to be wives, in front of our father, we will always be children!" ”
"Well, you can talk." Zhao Guangyi pinched the tip of her nose dotingly, and then said, "Three days later is Yuan Zuo's birthday, it is not a whole life, according to my intentions, there is no need to have a banquet in the palace, you go to the Weiwang Mansion to have a lively time." ”
"Even if it's three days later, it's not bad for these days, Erchen thought, let's go to the Eighth Prince's Brother to live today, and when the Third Prince's birthday is celebrated, it's also convenient to come and go." Chai Xuyun hurriedly said in the air.
"You just changed the law and wanted to get out of the palace." Zhao Guangyi complained softly, then nodded and said, "Go, go, go!" Defang will come to me in the afternoon to deliver an excerpt and ask him to pick you up. ”
"Uncle Xie Huang." Chai Xiyun pulled Zhao Yuanwei, and the two said together, "Erchen will retire first." ”
"Hmm" Zhao Guangyi replied lightly, and didn't close his gaze until they were out of the corner.
"You came here early today, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as asking for peace!" As soon as he went out, Chai Xiyun asked.
Zhao Yuanwei's face suddenly covered with a layer of redness, and said, "Xia Lin's request for an early marriage will be consummated, and I will come to remind my father, lest he be busy with state affairs and not take my affairs to heart." ”
"Shouldn't you go to the saints about the marriage? How did he get to the official's house? ”
"Sage" Zhao Yuanwei sneered, "You don't know the temperament of our queen's mother, and the sentence 'The princess is noble, I'm afraid that I will be blamed by the bad officials', so I was sent to my father." ”
"The queen is kind-natured, and she refuses to make a mistake in front of the emperor's uncle, so she is always too cautious."
Zhao Yuanwei chuckled: "That's right!" Look at the Pan Niangniang inside, she looks exquisite, her father is a meritorious lord, and the queen's family has no one, so it is difficult to enjoy the glory of the country, I heard," Zhao Yuanwei paused, approached Chai Xiyun and said softly, "Father deliberately let the Pan family present this honorific title." ”
"Ahh Chai Xiyun was slightly surprised, "This move is contrary to common sense, isn't it too contemptuous of the queen." ”
"The queen has never said a 'no' word so far, and if it goes on like this, it will really be in name only."
Chai Xiyun thought about it for a while, and said with relief, "Let's not worry about this matter in the harem, the queen has her own queen's idea, but you, how anxious you are to get married!" Chai Xuyun quipped.
Zhao Yuanwei smiled bitterly and said, "You know, my temperament is raised by my mother and can't stand half of the restraints, I live in a proper way every day, what's the fun, you look at this monarch and minister, father and son, intrigue, it's really not as good as being at ease in the house before, if the palace is really happy, you won't always go to the Nanqing Palace." ”
"That's right," Chai Xiyun pulled out a smile, "How many beautiful scenery are blocked by such a high palace wall, so let's leave early!" After a few days of ordinary people's lives, here, there is really nothing to be nostalgic about. ”
Zhao Yuanwei's face softened slightly, grabbed Chai Xiyun's arm, and nodded lightly, "Let's go and sit in Fuping Palace for a while." ”
Stopped at the main gate of the Wende Palace, the two of them walked along the palace road with the maid, and met a young man wearing a guard uniform, with a heroic posture and a step, this person was very bold, seeing the master, he did not shy away from his eyes, stared at Chai Xuyun for a long time, until the attendant next to him reminded him, he bowed sideways.
Chai Xuyun did not respond to such gazes, and after waiting for the step, Zhao Yuanwei said, "Deep Palace Inner Garden, this person is really bold. ”
"Do you recognize?" Chai Xiyun then asked.
Zhao Yuanwei turned around and looked at it again, and responded, "It should be Pan Long, the younger brother of Concubine Pan Shu, relying on his sister to be favored, they climbed up one by one, and most of them are also people who are snug and leaning on the cui, you just look at you, you can't take your eyes off." ”
"If I hadn't been able to leave the palace today, I would have taught him a lesson." A trace of displeasure flashed in Chai Xuyun's eyes, and Zhao Yuanwei persuaded, "For this kind of person, why bother!" Ignore him. ”
......
Seeing Chai Xiyun and the two leaving, Pan Surong carefully looked at Zhao Guangyi's expression, and saw that there was a smile on his lips that could not be concealed, so he said to his liking, "The princess and the county lord have a deep sisterly relationship, in the end, they are two aunts and sisters, and their feelings are different from others, but it is no wonder that the two golden branches and jade leaves are extraordinary, and the concubines heard that the sisters of the Fu family in the past, each of them are peerless, and they have become a legend in the clouds for a while." ”
"Sisters of the Fu Family" Zhao Guangyi thought about it, sighed lightly and said, "One family, three queens, what a glory!" It's a pity that except for Empress Xuanyi of the first Zhou Dynasty, who has no heirs, the other two have nothing, and they are really thin. ”
"Didn't the first queen have any heirs? Then King Han and Princess Yongle are..."Pan Surong asked repeatedly.
Zhao Guangyi stopped his pen and explained distractedly, "Yuan Zuo and Yuan Kan were both born to the Li family, the Li family died early, and the first queen had nothing to do, so Yuan Kan recognized her as her mother, Yuan Wei was born and lost her mother, and she was raised by the first queen since she was a child, and this name was given by the first queen." ”
"I see." Pan Surong bowed her head in response, and then said, "The first queen is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and she treats the princess and prince as her own, which is admirable." ”
Zhao Guangyi was silent, just lowered his head and continued to do his own thing, Pan Surong didn't know how to answer, only to see Wang Jien step forward and say, "Your Majesty, General Pan asks to see." ”
Zhao Guangyi finished the excerpt, put the pen into the simple tube, and said "Xuan"
