In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, thousands of officials looked at each other
A moment later, a little eunuch on duty in the Taiji Hall hurried to the Ganlu Hall to report to De'an.
After getting the report, De'an entered and reported to the young slave who was reading Sun Tzu's Art of War and said: "Lord, the lord has changed the silver guard of Yanjia Hall to the guard of Jinwu as expected by the prince, and specially ordered the prince to send a decree to the imperial dining room. ”
The slave nodded, dropped the book in his hand, and said, "That's fine...... By the way, did my father mention Sister Wu's rank? ”
"Not really."
"Strange...... It stands to reason that when my father learned that Sister Wu had suffered so much for Yuan Zhaoyuan, he would be reluctant to enter her rank...... At the very least, she has to be specially gracious enough to attend the domestic court meeting for a few days......"
"This ...... There is no such thing as raising the ranks. However, His Majesty did make an order, and from tomorrow, all internal positions above the fifth grade in the palace can attend the grand court meeting as an event, and should use their talents to establish authority for the Tang Dynasty. ”
"I'll just say......" As soon as the young slave took the case, he was just about to applaud, and his face was slightly gloomy.
Seeing this, De'an said uneasily: "What's the matter, the prince?" You...... How not to be happy? ”
"I ...... I still underestimated my father's thoughts......" The young slave sighed: "Originally, this time the matter of swaggering the Medicine King into the palace with such fanfare, in order to shock the heart of the Wei family, and now I can also use the mouth of the Medicine King to gain a trace of pity for Sister Wu in the heart of my father, so that she can become a person in this palace who is not favored but can also protect herself......
Unexpectedly, my father would pity Sister Wu so much...... actually changed the rules for her......"
The child's face was a little complicated.
De Anxin calmed down and said: "The prince is worried, after a few days of the domestic court meeting, the lord will ...... the martial talents."
The slave nodded silently.
De'an thought about it, but he couldn't, so he had to say, "That'...... Why don't we do this? ”
"No, you can't. If she didn't do this, because of her kind nature, Sister Wu finally got a little bit of her father's pity, but I was afraid that she would be lost in time, and the concubines would compete for favor...... You need to think of a good plan, not only to make Sister Wu's position stable, but also to make her father just pity her, and her love will not be moved to Xu Cairen and Yuan Zhaoyuan...... That's right! And the two of them! ”
The young slave slapped a few cases, but because he was too excited and exerted, he felt that his hands were numb, and he hurriedly raised his hand and blew a few mouthfuls with tears, while instructing De'an, who hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, not to pay attention to it, but to get a pen and paper.
Seeing him like this, Dean had no choice but to obey his orders.
After taking the pen and paper, the young slave first wrote a letter and handed it to De'an, so that he could quickly pass it on to the eldest brother in the palace without mistakes. When De'an went out, he painted two portraits and ordered someone to invite Hua Yan.
At this moment, Hua Yan was busy in the back with several other palace maids who had received the order of the young slaves and rushed to make new clothes. Smelling that something was wrong with the childish slave, he hurried to the front and asked what was the matter with a smile.
"Aunt Hua, can you wear the embroidered girl's red, according to the clothes worn by the portrait in this painting, and make two new sets of clothes?"
Hua Yan saw the portrait, surprised and delighted, smelled the words of the childish slave, and then looked at the person in the portrait, but it was not the one painted in daily life, and the heart seemed to have an understanding, so he smiled and said with a smile but there is a request, there is no way to follow. Carried the portrait and left.
Not long after, De'an also came back, and reported that the prince had already replied, thanked the younger brother for reminding him, and said that he would have another drink with the younger brother another day.
The young slave let out a sigh, put his hands behind his back to look at the picture of the beauty hanging on the easel in front of the case, and after a long time, he stretched out another hand and gently touched the pink cheeks of the woman in the painting, and muttered stupidly:
"What I want, it's not your thanks, big brother......
Sister Wu, I don't know if you know that the young slave has such a mind......
But for whom? ”
At the end of April of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered: the sea will come to the dynasty together, and the end of the world will meet together.
……
Inside the Yanjia Palace.
Mei Niang sat dumbfounded, looking at the letter in front of her. I was not happy.
Ryan had been watching her for a long time, but he still didn't dare to speak. It wasn't until Su Qin came in and saw her in a daze that she was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing her ask, Ryan hurriedly signaled to whisper, and gestured again.
Su Qin knew it at a glance, and said angrily: "Mei Niang is like this, and she is forced to invite His Majesty to pet the family...... Are those two people crazy? ”
When Mei Niang heard this, she didn't avoid her, and said with a wry smile:
"Crazy or not, they are always my mother sisters, don't do it, it's not appropriate. It's just that I don't have a favor to invite right now. ”
"Mei Niang, if you want me to say, you will bow your head to Your Majesty, won't all this be done? With your appearance, if you are determined to be favored, I am afraid that it will not be inferior to that Xu Cairen......"
Although Su Qin knew that what she had in her heart now was only the person outside the palace, she had to speak out.
"Suqin. All right. ”
Mei Niang interrupted her, and only closed the letter and said, "Don't mention this matter in the future." By the way, the slave invited you to go, what's the matter? ”
That's right...... Obviously, it was Princess Jinyang who invited me to come to the Ganlu Palace, why did it become that the King of Jin invited me? Although Su Qin knows Mei Niang's opportunity, she still wants to borrow clever words and argue.
"If Princess Jinyang invites you to go, find a small palace attendant, why bother to work De'an?" Mei Niang didn't raise her head, only wrote to her mother's house outside the palace, but said in her mouth.
When Su Qin heard this, she was so bored, so she sat down and said, "That's it, it's still you...... That's right, it was King Jin who invited me to go and talk about something. ”
"What?"
"Isn't it for the sake of the court? King Jin said, when the time comes, all of us in the Yanjia Hall will prepare some things to attend, so that we can attend with honor. He also said that although the dedication of the Zuo Tibetan Department is indeed not bad, it is not the courage of the Tang Dynasty after all. That's why I invited some people and made some other things, and we were in the Yanjia Palace. ”
Su Qin said: "It's also a shame that he has this heart, like His Royal Highness the Prince, so he is half-hearted, and only remembers to handle the Qin King's Breaking Formation Song, but he forgets all of us." ”
"What do you say! What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged, but our Tang Dynasty Chinese music, according to the etiquette system, is the highlight of the world. Moreover, as His Royal Highness the Prince, as the East Palace, what does it have to do with our ** concubine? You're not right. It's not like what you would say on a daily basis. Mei Niang smiled lightly.
"It's true that I didn't say it, but I heard what others said, and I felt quite angry, so I learned it." Su Qin said this, but taught Mei Niang to stop the pen in her hand and said:
"Who's the one who hears it?"
"The rest of the palace...... Xiao Meiren, the palace people...... Everybody says that, but I'm not the only one. ”
After hearing Su Qin say this, Mei Niang was stunned, stopped writing, thought about it for a while, and then asked Ryan again: "Have you ever heard this?" ”
"Not really." Ryan honestly shook his head.
After thinking about it again, Mei Niang simply didn't even write a letter, and asked Suqin directly: "You tell me first, have other ladies in the palace said this?" For example...... Splendid Palace, or Anren Palace......"
"I didn't hear that...... But speaking of which, it was just when I heard this, Liu Siyao from the Daji Hall came, and after hearing this, I was very surprised. It seems that Dajidian has not heard of it either. ”
Mei Niang's heart sank, and after thinking about it slightly, she came to Ryan and muttered a few words. Ryan got the word, and immediately nodded and ran out.
Su Qin wanted to ask, but Mei Niang glanced at her and said, "There is nothing to do this afternoon, and the sky is so good, why don't you go out for a walk?" ”
When Su Qin saw her like this, she knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "Isn't it? You look at this letter and feel sullen, and I look at the roof of this temple and feel sullen...... What a pair of difficult sisters. Let's go out and bask in the sun, which is also good. ”
While speaking, the two of them carried their hands, took a few palace maids, and walked out slowly.
Walking to the Imperial Garden, Suqin took the opportunity again, under the pretext of having tea and enjoying music with Mei Niang, and went to the palace people around her to do it. But he was only accompanied by Xiao Liu'er, and he watched all the way into the water pavilion.
Inside the water pavilion, the breeze is blowing, and the air with water vapor is blowing in the face, which makes people very happy.
Mei Niang and Su Qinfang sat down, and saw that the young slave was led by Ryan, and De'an followed behind, wearing a robe embroidered with snow gold and purple, and hurriedly entered the water pavilion.
"Sister Wu. Why did you ask Ryan to come to me? After seeing Suqin first, the young slave hurriedly sat down next to Mei Niang, and his eyes were only staring at Mei Niang's face, which was no longer scarred.
"Someone wants to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And I'm afraid that I still want to force him to rebel. You need to remind him, you can. ”
Mei Niang simply said a neat sentence, so startled that the childish slave stared at her, couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and said for a long time:
"You say...... Someone wants to hurt Big Brother? This...... How can it be? Good ......"
Mei Niang didn't talk about it, and only let Suqin, who was puzzled on the side, tell the rumors she had heard before to the childish slave.
After listening to it, the young slave also had a sinking face, and like Mei Niang, she asked Suqin first, this rumor, but there are still people in the palace who have said it. I was very shocked when I heard what Liu Siyao in the Daji Hall said, so he and Mei Niang glanced at each other.
Su Qin saw the two of them and knew the two of them, which can be said to be the most knowledgeable in the palace today. I don't ask, I just feel depressed.
After a long time, the childish servant said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that things will not be good...... There was no movement in the Anren Hall and the Splendid Palace, and there was only one Daji Palace, which seemed innocent, but it was difficult to guarantee that it was not the Mother of De who spread this rumor to others, forcing the eldest brother to rebel like his father back then, and then report to his father in advance, confirming his capital crime of attempting to rebel...... Then Liu Siyao, who really didn't know about it, made an inexplicable look in front of us to confuse our hearts...... No, although Concubine De is also a very deep city, she has never had such ability. Again...... She doesn't have to guard against us juniors. What she wants to guard against should be the Anren Hall and the Splendid Palace. ”
The childish slave's analysis was reasonable, and Mei Niang and Suqin nodded again and again. In the end, Mei Niang spoke first: "No matter what, this matter should not be underestimated." Child, you must try to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know the seriousness of this matter. Also, I'm afraid that I will have to bother Aunt Hua, and I will be a bird again, and explain this matter to Your Majesty. ”
"Don't worry, Sister Wu, the young slave will go to the East Palace to find the eldest brother. It's just you ......"
He glanced at Mei Niang, who was dressed thinly, felt sorry in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "You're just a little better, don't be so thin." If you get sick, I'm afraid it's not good. Again...... Rong Zhinu has a lot of words, if you don't like the letter from outside the palace, don't read it. Some things are reluctant after all. Some people, no matter how good you are to them, can't satisfy their desires. Because of the things she lacks in her heart, no one can really make up for her except herself. No matter how much gold, silver, wealth, fame, fortune and power are not satisfied. ”
The childish slave's words were gloomy, but because he knew that he was really sincere, and his words were reasonable, he sighed:
"Don't worry, my sister knows. You should also pay attention to rest a lot, these two days, don't get tired. ”
