Chapter 39: Ruthless but Affectionate (Part II)
"If he doesn't go back to Chang'an and stays in Luoyang, not only will he not be able to use him, but he will cause trouble. When the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements, and I can't make up for it if I want to make up for it. It's better to leave some room for a later meeting. Gao Cheng pondered, pacing a few steps.
"Lord Lang is not afraid that the tiger will return to the mountain and end up in trouble?" Cui Jishu frowned and thought.
"If it's really a tiger," Gao Cheng stopped and looked at Cui Jishu, and said indifferently, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to keep it around?" ”
"Lang will talk to Yuwentai first, and allow him not to return to Guanzhong from the beginning?" Uncle Cui Ji asked again.
Gao Cheng didn't speak, looked at Cui Jishu quietly, and walked towards him step by step very slowly. It was like being scared of a sensitive rabbit in the grass.
Cui Jishu didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him in confusion.
Gao Cheng had already approached Cui Jishu, suddenly lowered his arms, picked up the hem of the wide robe with both hands, and kicked Cui Jishu on his stock with his feet. said angrily, "Is your lord Lang such a frivolous Meng Lang person? I haven't grown for a long time. ”
Cui Jishu was kicked and said with a rhetorical smile, "It's Uncle Zheng who is frivolous with Meng Lang, please teach Master Lang." ”
Gao Cheng didn't really want to kick him, so he settled down and leisurely straightened his clothes, "If you want to do it, do it beautifully, and let Brother Black Otter accept this love." ”
Ganoderma lucidum fishing platform can be called a fairyland in the scorching heat. Surrounded by clear water, it is like a fairy mountain on the sea, and is hidden in the green trees, and the looming cornices and columns add to the mystery. In the same Wei Palace, the palace city with four corners and one sky seems to be the epitome of the Great Wei world, and some people are also worried and happy at this time.
Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan sat quietly in the shade of the tree under the Lingzhi fishing platform, looking intently at Emperor Yuan Xiu, who was sitting beside her and fishing with his eyes closed. In her impression, Yuan Xiu had never been so quiet and contemplative in the past. Yuan Xiu was martial when he was young, and he was impatient, always impatient and impulsive. Later, he succeeded to the imperial family, and welcomed Gao Huan's eldest daughter as the queen, and he was like a prisoner in the Wei Palace, I really don't know when he also learned forbearance and patience. Thinking of this, Yuan Mingyue hated in her heart. I didn't know hatred before, but now I hate the impermanence of the world. On the contrary, she misses the former Yuan Xiu, and misses the days when she was first widowed and Yuan Xiu was the most affectionate.
Yuan Xiu slowly opened his eyes, still not moving, only turned his head to look at Yuan Mingyue, and asked in a gentle voice, "What is Zhaoyi only staring at Lonely?" ”
Yuan Mingyue smiled and said, "Seeing that the Lord is idle today, I only hope that great things will be achieved in the future, and I can do this every day." ”
Yuan Xiu turned his head, staring at the fishing rod without looking at Yuan Mingyue, and said lightly after a while, "Still on this fishing platform, Zhaoyi once said that he was willing to be the bride of Fenglong." ”
Yuan Mingyue was stunned at first when she heard him suddenly bring up the old things, these things had long faded out of her memory. Then there was an indescribable grievance and hidden pain in my heart. At that time, she was just angry because he wanted to welcome Gao Changjun as the queen, but what about him? At this time, she suddenly saw clearly in her heart that it was Yuan Xiu who was responsible for the two of them. Even if he was forced to welcome Gao Changjun into the palace, but the situation changed rapidly, could he not be forced by others?
Yuan Mingyue burst into tears, she suppressed her mixed feelings, tried to balance her breath, and said with a little sadness, "Doesn't the lord understand the concubine's heart?" ”
Yuan Xiu listened to her words, his heart trembled, where was his heart scattered? The two were silent for a moment, and Yuan Xiucai turned his head again and smiled slightly, "It's because I'm alone with you, and I'll ...... I won't leave you alone in the future. It's just ......" He thought of Gao Changjun in his heart, and he was deeply helpless, as if he said to himself, "It's just that you are alone, which may not be a good thing." ”
Yuan Mingyue lowered her head and wiped away her tears, raised her head and looked at Yuan Xiu, "I will accompany you in this life, and I will never regret it." ”
Yuan Xiu put down the fishing rod and looked at Yuan Mingyue, his heart was boiling. After a long time, he said, "The hussar general will come to see Gu immediately, you go back to Cuiyun Pavilion first." ”
Yuan Mingyue got up and said with a smile, "Princess Nanyang entered the palace today to visit the concubines, and the concubines retired first. ”
There is a fluidized pool on the east side of the Taiji Palace, in fact, there is a washing pond between the west side and the Qingxia Palace. The real summer seclusion in the Wei Palace is here. Far away from the place where she listened to the government, Princess Yi Fu of Nanyang entered the palace alone, wanting to go to the garden behind from here. Go to see Nanyang Wang Yuanbaoju's sister, now Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue.
Luoyang is a rare good weather, although the sun is shining, but the sky is very clear. This made Yue'e's mood unstable for a long time rare better. Originally, I just wanted to avoid encounters with idle people and other unavoidable encounters, so I went around to the side of the washing pond and the summer hall, but in a moment's interest, I actually wanted to enjoy the pool and go again. I just got a letter, saying that Zuo Zhaoyi was still fishing with the emperor at the Lingzhi fishing platform, and I was afraid that he would not go back for a while. Let her stay here for a while.
After Yuan Mingyue left, Emperor Yuan Xiu still sat quietly and fished, just waiting for Yuwentai to come to see him. I think this is also the only rare private meeting before Yuwentai left Luoyang. In any case, he will definitely let Yuwentai leave Luoyang and return to Chang'an as soon as possible. So those important words may as well be explained at this time, and there is an explanation. The eldest princess Yuan Yuying has long been known to Nan Qiao, and Yuan Xiu knows what Yu Wentai is thinking at this time.
Yuwentai entered the gate and came north to avoid people's eyes. Alone, in his thoughts, he had gone around to the east side of the Taiji Hall to wash his troubles. Further to the north, it has been past the Xuanguang Hall where the government is listening, and the center of the lake behind is the Lingzhi fishing platform summoned by the emperor. He had already complied with the will of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying and sent a letter to Daxing Taihe Bayue. So after the meeting, he had to leave Luoyang. At this time, although the prime minister Gao Huan did not instruct, he obviously felt that the atmosphere was tense and was suspected of being guarded. Otherwise, you can only say goodbye in the end.
Or...... Yu Wentai's heart suddenly lit up when he thought about it. Maybe being open and honest with the prince Gao Cheng may be a feasible way. But he wasn't sure that Gao Cheng would let him go. Even if you are willing to let go, there must be conditions, and it may not be easy to fulfill it in the future. If you can't talk about it, you will lose both sides and it will be difficult to make up for it. It seems that it will take a long-term view.
I thought I had already walked to the edge of the bath. I inadvertently looked up, and inadvertently glanced around, and actually saw a lonely shadow by the pool, hidden in the flowers. The man was so engrossed in looking at the flowers that he had no idea that someone was coming behind him. This made Yu Wentai curious, but also had a rare ease and tranquility. No one around him, whether male or female, is not ambitious, no one is not a guide to the world, no one is not a national enemy and family hatred, and no one is not a heavy responsibility on his shoulders...... Such a rare leisure, only indulging in a sea of flowers, not asking about the world, even watching it made him intoxicated.
This woman has a high bun, and her neck and shoulders are exquisite. There is only one white jade on the thick black hair, and the clothes on the body are very simple. It is not as beautiful as the women of the Northern Dynasties, and the goose is yellow and light and elegant, as if there is no dispute with the world. The cluster of flowers she focused on were all long, wide, thick green leaves, with slender necks and single petals. The flowers are not large, the petals are as delicate and crystalline as white jade, the golden halo at the core of the flower seems to be rendered, and only a few very thin green stamens in the middle are more conspicuous.
Yuwentai didn't know why she was so persistent, and approached unconsciously.
The more you look at it, the more real it is. Is it her, it's her, it's her, it's her......
He stood beside her, forgetting everything. I want to wake up from a dream, but I'm afraid to wake up from a dream.
At last, he stood up contentedly and took his mind away from the flowers. Thinking that the hour was almost up, she turned to come out of the flowers, and to go into the back garden. As soon as he stood up, turned around, lifted his skirt, and was about to step out of the flowers, he suddenly saw Yu Wentai standing still not far away and looking at her. I was so frightened that I trembled and stood still and didn't dare to move. On the day of the wedding, the matter of the Hussar General's Mansion seemed to be in front of him. She was afraid of him, but she vaguely felt that he seemed to have mistaken her for someone.
Yuwentai still stood in place and did not move. I woke up from a dream. The moment just now, my mind was racing, and I woke up with the pleasure of soul travel for nine days.
"Princess Nanyang doesn't know me?" Yu Wentai said lightly. His lips were slightly hooked, and there was a smile that seemed to be absent.
"Naturally." For example, who doesn't know the hussar general Yuwentai today? Yi Fu Yue thought in her heart, but she didn't say it.
"Is the princess here to see the flowers?" Yuwentai never took a step forward.
Efuyue also stood among the flowers and did not come out. She lowered her head slightly, tilted slightly, and looked at the flowers beside her. In Yuwentai's eyes, the silhouette figure is too much like Yang Shunhua. He still couldn't help but take a step forward. It was only a slight step, but it still stopped.
Yue'e seemed to mutter, "I was going to Cuiyun Pavilion to meet Zuo Zhaoyi, but I didn't pay attention and fell here to watch." I just thought that this flower was not bad, and it would look good if it was embroidered on Nanyang Wang's clothes......" She elaborated softly and slowly, which made Yu Wentai's heart wake up suddenly, and he was refreshed.
It turned out that she was actually because of this. Dedicated to an embroidery on her husband's body. It certainly won't be on the coat. Come to think of it, if Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch wears such clothes, he must also be full of tenderness and sweetness. No matter how white the knife is, or the danger of bad luck, there is always such a quiet, relaxed and comfortable place that is unique to him.
"Isn't the princess going to Cuiyun Pavilion? Say goodbye. With that, Yu Wentai turned around abruptly.
Etofu Yue'e finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched his back as he walked farther and farther away.
When the sun is shining, it is inevitable that it will be hot on the Ganoderma lucidum fishing platform.
"Hussar General Yuwentai Jinjian."
Emperor Yuan Xiu felt that time was passing very slowly, he had waited too long, too long. Finally, I heard the voice of the eunuch replying.
Yuwentai went to the Forbidden Garden for the first time, and today he saw only him and the emperor. From the day he arrived in Luoyang, Yuwentai did not see the emperor many times, and this was the only time he met in private.
After paying homage, he didn't hear the emperor's voice, he didn't dare to get up by himself, and he was still prostrate on the ground. I only heard the sound of clothes and shoes and powerful footsteps, and then I saw Emperor Yuan Xiu's clothes and shoes close in front of me. The black clothes are not surprising, but a pair of extremely delicate embroidered silk shoes, which makes Yuwentai suddenly dazzling.
