Ascending to the seventh
It's night.
In the Imperial Palace.
On the bed, after some warmth and sweetness, Li Zhi gently stroked Mei Niang's forehead and said carefully:
"I heard Wen Niang, you told her, do you have your own reason for not going today?"
Mei Niang didn't raise her eyes, and said softly:
"Don't you know?"
Li Zhichang sighed, took her little hand and swayed it back and forth in the palm of her hand, and only said softly after a while:
"How so......
Since the day I first met you, I didn't think there was something about you that I didn't need to guess with all my heart......
Even with the occasional exception, you always have a way to make me feel instantaneous......
You are the only one in this world who can make me feel like this. ”
Mei Niang smiled and said:
"Good manners, say these sweet words......
Isn't it to inquire about Mei Niang's thoughts?
Jiro really doesn't know? ”
"I don't know."
Li Zhi had to admit that he hadn't stayed with Mei Niang for a long time recently, and he felt that there were some things that she couldn't think about anymore.
Mei Niang smiled, but she was not surprised, nodded and said:
"Yes......
These days, Jiro has been busy with political affairs, and when he came to the Lizheng Palace, he wanted to take a good look at Hong'er, which is a little known......
Actually, it doesn't hurt......
It's just a small thing.
Mei Niang thinks that if this is decided......
I'm afraid that it will make it difficult to teach Jiro. ”
Li Zhi frowned and said straightly:
"When did you become so slurred?
If there is anything, just say it. ”
Mei Niang sighed:
"Hong'er, as the fifth prince, has to be crowned king, which is already an honor; If I sit in that temple again, and I have no title or position, it will not be in accordance with the etiquette or the system......
is Jiro's treatment of Mei Niang differently, all kinds of graces, will inevitably teach those harem concubines, or the elders of the court, all of them are not happy......
This auspicious day is a big day, but it is a serious day for Hong'er.
Mei Niang hopes that all the ministers and concubines will try their best to focus on Hong'er, only keep Hong'er's good, but forget other things. ”
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and understood:
"That's why you deliberately dressed Hong'er so cutely?"
As he spoke, he recalled Li Hong's outfit today:
A small dress of crimson yarn (that is, a light red yarn woven with gold silk) is inlaid with dazzling and gorgeous gold silk folds, and it is decorated with a number of pieces of the best sheep fat jade from the Western Regions as the sleeve corners (the ancient people were superstitious about the power of jade, believing that jade was made into sleeve corners for children to fall and protect children), and the hat was also made of soft gold woven crimson yarn, and two round white pearls the size of a dragon's eye were decorated on the top for the corners......
Coupled with the gold silk weaving, the red silk embroidered gold unicorn jade calligraphy pattern of the small swaddling clothes are decorated with the long string of pearls......
How do you look at it, today's Li Hong is a good doll with noble and noble qualities, snow pinched jade carving, plus he is not like an ordinary child who cries, and everyone he sees is smiling and bent with bright crescent eyes, which is really cute.
But......
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said slowly:
"Ah......
I remember that when Wang De was looking for swaddling clothes for Hong'er, he specially found the swaddling clothes made by the queen mother when I was a child, but you didn't use it......
But ......"
Li Zhi glared and looked at Mei Niang:
"What do I think of today, how do I think that swaddling clothes on Hong'er are similar to the one made by the queen mother!
Even the silk material on it seems to be the silk seed made by the queen mother herself......
Are you ......"
"Queen Wende's skillful hands, Mei Niang can't learn no matter how capable she is.
As for why not use that swaddling ......
Niangniang's holy relics, how dare you use them easily?
In the end, it was also used by Jiro when he was a child, that is, Jiro wanted to reward the children, and in terms of theory and righteousness, he should reward the eldest son first.
Now that Zhong'er is not rewarded, Hong'er, who is the fifth brother, should not be rewarded.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lord Taiwei will look at them and be somewhat taboo in their hearts. ”
Li Zhi frowned, looked at Mei Niang, but suddenly smiled, stretched out his fingers and scraped Mei Niang's peach-colored cheeks:
"You've been in danger......
If you really take care of your uncles and them, why did you make another one in imitation of the queen mother's method?
I see you, you have the intention to use this little swaddling clothes to make your uncle remember the queen mother, think of the love of your sister, and have some pity for Hong'er, and then prove that you will not forget the rules by not using the queen mother's own swaddling clothes......
That's why you specially didn't attend, and the eyes of all the demeanor and everyone in the direct sect were given to Hong'er, so as to announce to your uncle:
The most important thing for you is how Hong'er ......
Yes and no? ”
Mei Niang smiled faintly, but did not speak.
Li Zhi sighed, hugged Mei Niang movingly, and said:
"It's also difficult for you to work hard only for Hong'er......
In fact, you also know that even if you don't do this, your uncle will look at Hong'er differently......
No matter how coincidental Hong'er was on the day of his birth, it was all the fetal dreams when he got him......
It was enough to make my uncle feel a lot of pity.
Let alone...... Not to mention ......"
Li Zhi didn't care about it for a long time, but he didn't say it after all, and finally Mei Niang sighed softly and said:
"What's more......
He was born like Queen Wende's mother back then......
Really? ”
Li Zhi was silent, his eyes showed some sadness, and after a while, he gently reached out and shook Mei Niang's hand:
"I ......
These days, when I look at Hong'er's face, I can't help but think a little boldly......
Mei Niang, the queen mother, she ...... She specially came to dream when you were pregnant with Hong'er......
Will......
Could it just be that she just wants to tell us that the queen mother is still reluctant to me, so she specially reincarnated, turned into Hong'er, and guarded me? ”
At this moment, Li Zhi's voice continued softly, like a young child, for fear of saying something wrong and making adults unhappy, pitiful and cute.
Mei Niang couldn't help sighing, her eyes were slightly wet, she reached out and hugged Li Zhi in her arms, and said softly:
Jiro thinks so, that's it......
Just thinking about it like this, isn't Mei Niang too arrogant?
In this case, let's just talk about it, but don't teach it to the ears of Lord Taiwei......
Mei Niang was really afraid of him. ”
Li Zhi burst out laughing, but laughed with two tears.
……
At the same time.
In the city of Chang'an.
Sleeping in the eldest grandson's house.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't sleep for a long time, turned left and right, and sat up again after a while.
On one side, Mrs. Changsun, who was not in good health and was not sleeping deeply, couldn't help but get up lightly, looked at him puzzled, and said:
"What's wrong with my husband?
There is no restful sleep in this wait.
But is there anything going on in the government? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, reached out and took his shirt, put it on his wife, and after a while, he gently shook her hand and muttered:
"Madame......
Another day, you can also go and see Hong'er's child!
Alas......
He......
He looks so much like a little sister...... It's so much like ......."
As he spoke, tears were already faintly floating in his eyes.
Looking at such a husband, Mrs. Changsun knew that it must be Li Hong, who looked like the first queen, and aroused the hatred of Changsun Wuji:
The premature death of Empress Changsun was the most painful in his life.
Mrs. Changsun was speechless, patted the back of Changsun Wuji's hand, but said with a smile:
"The husband said this, but the concubine must go to take a look......
It seems that Wu Meiniang, really entered the Lizheng Palace, but got great benefits! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, only nodded silently.
Seeing this, Mrs. Changsun realized for the first time:
Perhaps, it is really time for me, who has never stepped into the palace since the death of Empress Wende, to enter the palace to take a look at what kind of character this Wu Meiniang is.
At the end of November of the second year of Yonghui.
Tai Chi Palace.
Tai Chi Hall.
Rao is Li Zhi has always had no last resort, and at this moment, he is also holding the music in his hand, and he is stunned, and he doesn't know what to do for a long time.
On one side, it is rare that the province has been quiet in the past two days, and Wang De, who was able to stand on the left and right, saw this, stepped forward and said slowly:
"Lord, but what problems have those old adults given the Lord?"
Li Zhi frowned and shook his head, his expression was so strange that even Wang De and other characters couldn't be seen, but he had a bitter face, a smile in his eyes, and a sad look on his eyebrows, and handed this piece to Wang Dedao:
"Let's take a look......
I......
I really don't know what to say......"
Seeing this, Wang De knew that something was wrong, and immediately thanked Li Zhi for his grace, and after bowing with his hands first, he handed over the dust to De'an, who hurriedly stepped forward to help, and took the music with both hands.
Under this reading, he was also quite surprised, first blinked, made sure that his old eyes were dizzy, rubbed it again, and then looked at Li Zhi in surprise and said:
"This ......
This......
This uncle and duchess ......
Please......
Please be allowed to meet His Royal Highness the Acting King? ”
Li Zhi looked at him and nodded silently.
Wang De opened his mouth and muttered after a while:
"Oh my God, what kind of evil wind is this?!
Since the first queen was born, this uncle and duchess specially made a statement to the first emperor, saying that she was weak and would not make the trip...... This is counted, but I haven't stepped into the gate of Taiji Palace for nearly ten years......
It is not only the gate of Taiji Palace, but also the grand meeting of the Yuan Zheng day of each year, and even the grand scene of the great court meeting in the sea in the year when the first emperor was there......
She can't excuse herself!
Why is it good today, I actually took the initiative to go to the table and want to come and see our Acting Highness?!
This......
What kind of drama are these uncles and wives singing? ”
Li Zhi smiled bitterly, only put his clenched fists on a few, shook his head for a while, and said:
"I can't see through it......
But think about it, since Hong'er was born, my uncle has been much more diligent than usual when he entered the palace, and even stayed in Taiji Palace for several days, just so that he could hug his nephew and grandson early after the morning of the next day......"
Li Zhi spit out a string of bitter water in his mouth, but the corner of his mouth said with a smile:
"I'm afraid, this time my aunt is willing to go out, most of it is because of my uncle's words?"
Wang De thought about it for a while, and now he could only nod silently-
After all, in today's court, if there are people who can't guess their minds......
That's only three.
And this third person is the eldest grandson of this uncle.
Soon, when one of the three princes of the dynasty, the emperor's uncle, the wife of the eldest grandson of the Taiwei Wuji, that is, the eldest grandson of the wife of Zhao Guo, invited him to enter the palace to meet the newly born fifth son of the emperor, the news of the acting king Li Hong, spread by the small inner supervisors of the Taiji Palace.
And the first one to know about this was naturally Li Zhi who immediately went to Ming'an to inform the people in the Lizheng Palace.
"You said that Uncle and Duchess Yuan are coming to see Hong'er/His Royal Highness the Acting King/His Royal Highness the Little Prince?!"
It was none other than Mei Niang, Wen Niang, and Ruian, who were basking in the sun in the ** with Hong'er in their arms, taking advantage of the rare good weather.
Seeing this, Ming An nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Ryan and Wen Niang, you look at me, I look at you, they all look incredulous, but in the end they all looked at Mei Niang, and Ryan said:
"Sister......
Mei Niang shook her head, also surprised:
"I didn't expect it either......
What a good move......"
As soon as these words came out, Mei Niang immediately noticed that Ruian Wenniang and Ming An were confused, so she immediately smiled, not ready to explain to them in detail, but said lightly:
"Originally, I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the auspicious birthday to win the pity of my uncle for Hong'er......
I didn't expect that even my aunt could be attracted this time.
It's a great thing. ”
Ming An also nodded and said with a smile:
"My sister is right, this uncle and duchess have not stepped into the palace for more than ten years. Since the first queen was seriously ill and vomited blood for several liters in less than half a year, she has been recuperating at home! ”
Mei Niang nodded slowly, but her heart was measuring for a long time, and she was also worried and happy:
The worry is that if this happens, there will inevitably be a lot of discussion in the harem, but I am afraid that it will provoke everyone to look at their mother and son even more; Happily, in this way, the eldest grandson Wuji's support and protection of his mother and son have been undoubtedly revealed, and the safety of his mother and son in the palace can be said to have several guarantees......
She nodded slowly, and suddenly thought of something:
"Wanchun Palace, do you know?"
Ming An thought about it for a while, but said with a smile:
"Uncle and Duchess Yuan's entry into the palace is such a major event, even if the lord is unwilling, the master still has to be notified, so she is also occupying the title of the middle palace now!"
Mei Niang nodded, but sighed:
"I wonder what she will be thinking about this time?"
……
What does Wang Shanrou have in mind?
Hongxuan didn't know, she just looked at Queen Wang, who was sitting in a daze since she heard that Mrs. Zhao Guo was going to break her door control for many years for Li Hong, the acting king born by Wu Meiniang, and entered the palace to meet her.
After a while, Queen Wang said softly and thoughtfully:
"Really......
Originally......
It turned out to be that much like that.
No wonder Hongu also looks at him and likes it so much...... Even though his mother is so unbearable, in the end, he is still very similar to the former queen!
Alas, I only took pity on this child, and the pearl was thrown by mistake, but it fell into the belly of that Wu Meiniang......
If......
If there is a mother who is of noble birth and has a good family education...... Presumably in the future, he will be like his grandfather, and he will be a generation of virtuous kings, right? ”
Hearing this, Hongxuan looked at Queen Wang's gaze, but for some reason, she only felt chills all over her body, and she swayed.
