Chapter 235: The Cold is Overwhelming
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the thick ice of the Wenyu River, and the ice surface quickly shone with colorful light. The ice near the riverbank was chiseled open, revealing a pool of clear water, and a group of young daughters-in-law and eldest girls came with a wardrobe in their hands, and a moment later the sound of pestles and laughter woke up the sleeping earth.
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than 100 horsemen and horses galloped over, which brought a strange atmosphere to the peaceful mountain village.
Seeing that they were going to show their faces in front of so many men, the women couldn't dodge, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"It's rare to see an outsider in our village on weekdays, where did so many strangers come from early in the morning?" A young daughter-in-law was surprised.
"It can't be a bandit, right?" A young girl said timidly.
When the women heard this, they all lost their color, and they rushed to the person to glance at it, and they wanted to turn away. However, after a glance, their heads could no longer turn.
A young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, fluttering over, with a jade face and starry eyes, and warm eye waves seem to have the power to control people's souls, which makes people can't bear to give birth to half of his thoughts.
As a result, every cell and pore on their bodies trembled inexplicably, and Fang Xin had already been held by those two charming eye waves.
Handsome guy, laugh!
Childe, why are you in a hurry and don't squint?
Jade-faced Langjun, you soul-seducing person, the slave family is afraid that it will be sleepless tonight!
Seeing the son float by, a girl took out a sachet and threw it over, but unfortunately her strength was too small, and when she saw the horse's tail flick, the sachet was swept down to the ice of the Wenyu River.
At this time, a middle-aged man rode a horse and chased after Childe, covering Childe's back, which upset the women.
What an uninteresting old man, don't get out of the way quickly!
Immediately afterward, a hundred young men in casual clothes hurried past with several old men, and a young man at the end of the line turned his head and winked at the women.
The women were furious, and several older daughters-in-law even crossed their waists and scolded, and in the midst of the scolding, a mallet flew towards him.
The boy patted his horse and avoided it, feeling angry in his heart.
Why is it a sachet that greets His Royal Highness King Yue, but a mallet that greets me?
It's really more popular than people!
Ouyang Tong chased after Zhu Qiyue, raising his eyes from time to time to look at Zhu Qiming's appearance.
Due to the uncertain residence over the years, the palace suspended the supply of Prince Zhu Qiming's crown robe and regular clothes, so yesterday Ouyang Tong ordered someone to buy a few ordinary clothes worn by ordinary sons in Shunyi County, one of which is being worn by Zhu Qiming at the moment, but an ordinary piece of clothing actually made him more and more radiant.
"Your Highness, I went to the capital, and I suddenly thought of an allusion." Ouyang Tong said.
Zhu Qiming was stunned, "What is the allusion?" โ
"Throwing the fruit and the car."
Cut, an allusion that was said to be rotten, boring! When Zhu Qiming heard this, he rolled his eyes.
"There is another allusion that comes to mind." Seeing that Zhu Qiming didn't speak, Ouyang Tong said again: "Look at killing Wei Jue!" โ
The allusion to the killing of Wei Jue also comes from the Jin Dynasty. Wei Jue was the number one handsome guy during the two Jin Dynasty, but he was frail, like Lin Daiyu, who suffered from deficiency and was shy by nature. Due to excessive fright, Wei Jue unfortunately died of illness after returning home. A generation of handsome guys was electrocuted by someone with an eye discharge, which is really unjust for the ages!
Zhu Qiming is strong and has a good psychological quality, so he will naturally not be killed, but his appearance has changed greatly, there is a difference between cloud and mud before and after, and he is a dignified prince.
After a few years of mask life, Zhu Qiming doesn't pay much attention to the question of whether he is handsome or not, as long as the evil poison is solved, he can be a normal person. However, Ouyang Tong reminded him right, it is advisable to return to Beijing this time to be low-key!
"Let Liang Commander leave a few guards, follow the king all the way, and wait for the evening to enter the capital by car. Changshi and Liang led a large group of people to enter Beijing first, and cleaned up the front yard and cross-courtyard houses of Yuefu. Also, don't forget to send someone to escort Senior Luo home to settle down. โ
"Yes."
At the beginning of the unitary period, Zhu Qiming arrived less than five miles away from Andingmen, dismounted with Feng Duo, and got into the carriage called by Ouyang Tong, two guards took Zhu Qiming and Feng Duo's mounts, and the other five guards still rode with them.
At the moment when the carriage galloped into Andingmen, Zhu Qiming reluctantly put on a silver mask.
"Your Highness, I can't help it, now that your body poison has been resolved, you are wearing a mask to see the emperor, for fear of falling into the suspicion of bullying the king." Feng Duo on the side said hurriedly.
Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered the situation when he left Beijing, and was speechless for a while. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the sound of bells and drums, and then I realized that the carriage had arrived near the bell tower and drum tower.
"At the beginning, the king went out of the noon gate alone in the heavy snow, and waited for more than an hour in the cold wind, and then joined the young army, and was able to embark on a journey, and since then he has been adrift in the north for more than four years. Although I have returned to Beijing today, how can I forget the scene of that day? Let's change slowly, and it's not too late to take off the mask when Your Majesty sees you. โ
After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and looked, and saw that the night had fallen in the capital, and the bright lights on the side of the imperial city came into his eyes.
"You go back to Yuefu quickly."
"Yes."
As soon as Zhu Qiming took away the five guards who accompanied him, the carriage arrived at Dong'anmen Gate in the imperial city, and a group of gatekeepers moved quickly to block the passage, and wanted to stop the carriage, Feng Duo stretched out his hand from the window and raised his waist card, and the guard sergeant took a closer look at the waist card, and then let him go.
Thinking that the atmosphere at the gate of the imperial city was still so tense, the Forbidden City must be heavily guarded, Zhu Qiming stared and thought, as if he was calculating how much shadow area was cast on the temple by internal and external troubles.
Before he got close to Donghua Gate, Zhu Qiming stopped the carriage, got off with Feng Duo, and walked onto the stone bridge.
The guards in front of the gate immediately stared vigilantly at the two figures on the bridge.
"King Yue was instructed to return to Beijing, and if you want to enter the palace to see your majesty, you should send someone in to report quickly!"
Feng Duo announced, and a person dressed in a hundred households in front of the door saw that the lights reflected two familiar faces, and immediately assigned a person to report to the door.
only felt that the Forbidden City in the night was both familiar and unfamiliar, Zhu Qiming glanced at it indifferently, then left the Forbidden City, slowly turned around, and looked at the ten thousand lights in the imperial city.
"I don't know if His Highness's residence tonight has been found." Feng Duo also turned around and lowered his voice: "It is not appropriate for His Highness to return to Yue Mansion, nor should he live in another courtyard. โ
Yes, in the eyes of the emperor, I am already a person who went to the domain, and most of today's Yuefu is like Weifu, with only a small number of people guarding it. Zhu Qiming could only rot such words in his stomach, raised his eyes to look at Feng Duo, and felt that this senior chamberlain of Qingning Palace was really thoughtful.
"You have served the Empress Dowager for many years, and you have been wandering with this king for several years, and your rank has not grown, but you have been wronged."
Feng Duo hurriedly bowed, "The little one remembers the Empress Dowager's legacy, and just wants to serve His Highness wholeheartedly, regardless of the future." โ
Zhu Qiming stared at Feng Duo's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to read the information in his heart, but unfortunately Feng Duo's eyes were hidden in the backlight and could not be seen.
At this moment, a few light footsteps came.
"The eunuch Jin Ying of the celebrant Bingbi see His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Zhu Qiming turned around and met Jin Ying's slightly expectant gaze, and those two gazes hurriedly swept over Zhu Qiming's mask, and immediately dimmed.
"Your Highness has finally returned to Beijing! It's rare for the emperor to be in a good mood today, and he is getting together with Concubine Zhou and Princess Chongqing, so it is inconvenient for His Majesty to see him at the moment, so let's wait for the order. Oh, the inner chamberlain has chosen a place for His Highness to live, and it is in the imperial city, not more than a mile away. Your Highness, please. โ
"There's Father-in-law Laojin."
After Feng Duo and Jin Ying said hello, two small chamberlains held lamps on the side, and the five of them crossed the bridge and walked towards the northeast side of the imperial city.
The Empress Dowager instructed Her Royal Highness to enter the Xianxi Palace immediately after returning to Beijing. However, the Queen Mother didn't know that Her Royal Highness was going back to Beijing today, and the concubines of the Six Palaces went to Xianxi Palace to say hello, and there might be someone there to talk to the Queen Mother at this moment, so Her Royal Highness ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
The evil poison in the king's body has been cured! Zhu Qiming almost told the truth, but he quickly gathered his strength, "I am tired of Gonggong Jin, and this king will go to Xianxi Palace to meet the Queen Mother tomorrow night." โ
"Tomorrow night? It's also good that there are few people walking around the palace at night. โ
While speaking, the group had moved away from the lights of Donghua Gate, and it was dark all around, and the lights of the two palace lamps became brighter and brighter.
"If the time for His Majesty's meeting cannot be set, this king will go to visit Mr. Lu tomorrow morning, I wonder if he wants to ask the emperor for an order?"
Jin Ying thought for a while and shook her head slightly, "Your Highness does not live in the Forbidden City, according to the system, there is no need to ask for a decree in this matter, Your Highness can leave a case in the Governor of Yue Mansion for future reference." โ
Is there still a long history division in Yuefu? Besides, if you don't live in Yuefu, how can you keep a case for future reference? Zhu Qiming replied "I know", but muttered in his heart.
"His Royal Highness King Yue, I have arrived at Qiupu Xuan, and the little slave will go to open the door." A chamberlain in charge of the lamp bowed.
Akiura-ken? Zhu Qiming stopped, and by the faint light, he looked in the direction of the waiter, and only saw a vague outline of the building.
"Your Highness, since Yongle, there have been five princes who have stayed here." Jin Ying approached Zhu Qiming and wanted to say something, glanced at Feng Duo, and immediately stopped.
There was a sound of the door opening, and Jin Ying invited Zhu Qiming to move inside.
There is no front yard at Akiuraken, and the main hall is the entrance. The chamberlain quickly lit the lamp, and the light illuminated the neat main hall, but the huge main hall was empty, with very few furnishings and very simple, and the worst thing was that there was no stove in the room.
Jin Ying was dumbfounded when he saw this, and Feng Duo on the side frowned slightly, "Father-in-law Jin, the furnishings, it's okay to be simple because it's ugly, anyway, His Highness is used to it, but in such a cold day, charcoal fire can't be less." โ
Jin Ying was stunned for a long time, and reluctantly put on a smiling face, "The Sprinkle family will send someone to the royal prison and the salary department to urge." โ
