Chapter 84: You Sing and I Appear (I)
Yuan Mingyue was woken up, and for a while her eyelids were sluggish and nostalgic for the good dream just now, and she had not fully woken up from her sleep. Suddenly she felt warm lips kissing her cheek, and the hand continued to caress her with great tenderness. After a while, a very gentle voice was heard, "Are you awake?" What dreams did you have? This is Yuan Xiu's voice.
Yuan Mingyue finally came to her senses, opened her eyes, and saw Yuan Xiu sitting on the edge of her couch. Yuan Xiu saw that she was full of smiles when she opened her eyes, and he was emotional for a while, and he didn't speak, just looked at her like this, while he couldn't help but continue to caress her round and jade arms with his hands. For some reason, I suddenly thought of the thin and muscular arms of the queen Gao Changjun.
"The concubine had a good dream." Yuan Mingyue said with a smile. She really had a good dream, and she couldn't wait for Yuan Xiu to take her to Chang'an quickly, so that her dream could come true. She couldn't wait.
"Yesterday, Princess Nanyang suddenly entered the palace to see you, is there anything important?" Yuan Xiu replied casually, and at the same time took back the thoughts that had drifted to the Jiaofang Palace.
Yuan Mingyue was stunned and was silent for a moment. She sat up, made a decision in her heart ruthlessly, and then said with a smile on her face, "Princess Nanyang saw that the concubine was nothing more than for Your Majesty's business, but the eldest princess and the King of Nanyang were not worried about Your Majesty." Chang'an is ready to welcome the holy driver, but he is afraid that something will go wrong in Luoyang. ”
Yuan Xiu didn't speak, he looked at Yuan Mingyue's cheek carefully, he stretched out his hand to gently caress her cheek, then stared at her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to Chang'an so much?" ”
Yuan Mingyue's heart trembled, but she finally held back, and she also looked at Yuan Xiu sideways, slowly blurring her eyes, and then tears slipped out of her eyes. Yuan Mingyue suddenly threw herself into Yuan Xiu's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and said in a lost voice, "Where is Your Majesty, the concubines live and die together." ”
Yuan Xiu let her hold her neck and couldn't cry, but she didn't speak or move, and after a long time, Fang let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to hug Yuan Mingyue tightly.
The two of them hugged for a long time, and Yuan Mingyue suddenly whispered in Yuan Xiu's ear, "Your Majesty, let's go and see the queen too." ”
Chang'an to Luoyang is thousands of miles away, and after a farewell, maybe it will be indefinite.
Yuan Xiu looked out the window, the dawn came in, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was pouring into the city, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He knew that Miyagi was about to be illuminated by the sun, and he hoped that all the ominous premonitions in his heart would eventually be swept away by the daylight.
There are many people serving in the Jiaofang Palace, but they are all in order. It wasn't until the queen Gao Changjun was ready that Ruoyun threw everyone back, so he knelt in front of Gao Changjun in the curtain and whispered, reporting to the queen about the princess of Nanyang last night and the prince Gao Cheng.
Although Gao Changjun didn't speak, his face turned red when he heard it, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he suddenly shouted angrily, "Stupid! ”
Ruoyun hurriedly persuaded, "Your Highness, don't be angry, Princess Nanyang has always been only in the palace, and she doesn't know anything about the palace and the court." She paused and said slowly, "The prince is really getting more and more domineering now, but I'm afraid that I won't take His Highness's words to heart in the future." Ruoyun didn't dare to say more. She knows the sisterly relationship between Queen Gao Changjun and the prince Gao Cheng very well, so it must be inappropriate to say too much.
Gao Changjun stood up and paced a few steps, and commanded, "Shizi, he is the younger brother of the palace, so I will naturally help him and help him." It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing that he's so young and so complacent. He should have been reminded by someone. ”
Gao Changjun thought for a while and suddenly said, "The second prince hasn't entered the palace to see me for a long time, and you send him a message." She thought and said slowly, "It doesn't have to be that I want to see him, just to point him off." ”
Ruoyun agreed, and Gao Changjun sighed again, "Although the second son is not as close to the palace as the prince, he is always a younger brother. The Gao family can't rely on the son alone, the help of the brothers is. ”
It was early afternoon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but the prime minister's mansion was extremely quiet. The prince Gao Cheng didn't know what to do, and he wasn't in the house. Mrs. Lou's practice at this time is to recuperate and rest. Princess Feng Yi, the princess of the world, Yuan Zhonghua, almost stayed at home, except for greeting Mrs. Lou, she didn't go anywhere, and even the slaves and maids in the house rarely saw her. Then there is Mrs. Lou's second daughter, Gao Yuanjun, who saw Mrs. Lou falling asleep on the couch at this time, so she stopped bothering and quietly withdrew.
At this time, even the slaves and maids in the house didn't know where to hide to rest in the summer, and it was so quiet that they could almost hear the sound of cicadas.
Gao Yuanjun came out of Mrs. Lou's yard and was about to go back to his house, when he suddenly saw a person coming towards him. That person didn't belong to his mind, and obviously didn't see Gao Yuanjun at all. Gao Yuanjun's eyes were excellent, but he saw at a glance that it was the second brother Gao Yang. Hurriedly took a few steps back and called, "Where is the second brother?" ”
Gao Yang stopped suddenly, and then he raised his head and ran away, and saw that it was Gao Yuanjun, but he stared at her as if he didn't know his sister. Gao Yuanjun walked over at this time, saw that Gao Yang was neatly dressed, and asked, "Did the second brother enter the palace to see the queen's sister?" ”
"How does my sister know?" Gao Yang asked in surprise.
Gao Yuanjun saw that Gao Yang's head was covered with dense beads of sweat, so he motioned for him to go to the garden. The two of them entered the garden one after the other, and sat down by the big bluestone in the shade of the bamboo forest.
Gao Yuanjun looked around at the lack of talent and said softly, "The second brother has a neat crown and belt, what else can he do if he doesn't enter the palace to meet the queen?" ”
In fact, there was no other meaning in Gao Yuanjun's words, but it seemed to be slightly mocking to Gao Yang's ears. Naturally, he can't compare to Brother Nai, and he has already entered the court as an official. Therefore, if it weren't for seeing the queen, there would naturally be no need to wear a dress for the hot Tianyi Festival.
Gao Yang endured it, but still said to Gao Yuanjun, "Her Royal Highness the Queen has a heart to remember and asked a lot of things. If I am loyal to the Lord, I will naturally have a time to enter the court and take charge, and my sister does not have to ridicule me. Gao Yang never dared to underestimate this sister.
Gao Yuanjun smiled, "Second brother blames me. The Gao family can't rely on the eldest brother alone, the father's foundation is not easy to come by, and the second brother is naturally responsible. The second brother doesn't have to think about grandpa and eldest brother all day long, you are also the son of the prime minister, and you will eventually be an official. It's just the same, since the second brother is not the son of the world, if he finds an opportunity now, he must work hard with the emperor to have merit, and naturally the lord and the queen will not treat the second brother lightly in the future. Even the father must expect so. Why should I laugh at the second brother? ”
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard Gao Yuanjun talk so casually. Unexpectedly, this young sister said something casually, which was exactly the same as what the queen said when he entered the palace just now. When he came to his senses, he got up and waved his head at Gao Yuanjun and said, "My sister taught me." ”
Gao Yuanjun originally laughed, but when he saw him like this, he got up in shock and said, "Why should the second brother be like this? ”
Gao Yang got up and sat back down beside her, whispering to her.
The two of them discussed secretly for a long time before they dispersed.
The afternoon acquaintance is non-stop. The courtyard where Princess Feng Yi lived was already claustrophobic, which made it even more stuffy. The maid had been standing under the green pear tree in the courtyard for a long time, and it was already tired and hot. After a while, I saw several maids who often served the princess Feng Yi coming out of it one after another. Knowing that the princess was resting, he also ordered the maids to go out to listen.
Thinking that the princess might not be able to summon people for a while, she glanced at the closed door and thought of going to the bamboo forest at the gate of the courtyard to cool off for a while. Just wanted to leave, but suddenly saw the courtyard door open silently, and Gao Yuanjun actually walked in with a smile.
Since Gao Cheng, the prince of the world, imprisoned Princess Feng Yi here, Yuan Zhonghua rarely went out. Even fewer people have set foot in this compound. Even Gao Cheng himself hasn't been here for a long time, let alone others. Seeing Gao Yuanjun approaching, Ah Jiao's eyes lit up, and her heart was happy. took the initiative to greet him and smiled, "On such a hot day, why is the lady here?" ”
Gao Yuanjun also walked into the shade of the tree and asked with a smile, "I ate too much at my mother's place for fear of accumulating food, so I came out for a walk, and I didn't come to give my sister-in-law a gift for a long time, I wonder if my sister-in-law is resting?" As he spoke, he glanced at the closed door. Then he asked Ah Jiao, "On a hot day, the slaves and maids are not here, are you alone?" Why don't you take a break? ”
Ah Jiao smiled, "I'm afraid that His Highness will call people for a while, and no one will come to serve them when they leave." ”
Gao Yuanjun smiled, "Then you just go, I'll go in and sit for a while." If my sister-in-law wakes up, I will talk to my sister-in-law for a while. If I don't wake up, I'll sit for a while and leave. ”
Ah Yuan thought that Gao Yuanjun was young and still a little girl, and she happened to be accompanied by Princess Feng Yi, and she didn't come often. The most feared thing by the prince is the second son, and this second mother is nothing. Thinking about it, he smiled and said, "The lady just needs to go in." ”
So Gao Yuanjun went by himself, opened the door and went in, and saw that Ah Jiao was gone from the inside, so he gently closed the door and walked to the inner bed.
Sure enough, I saw Princess Feng Yi lying on the couch in the gauze tent, and vaguely saw the pale green clothes. The room was very quiet, and compared to the courtyard under the scorching sun, it was a little gloomy and cold. Gao Yuanjun suddenly thought, he didn't know if Yuan Zhonghua would be cold if he was lying on the couch like this.
She rarely came here, so she looked around curiously. There is nothing special about the furnishings, but there is one thing that has attracted Gao Yuanjun's attention, which is the five-colored longevity thread placed on a few cases under the window. She walked over to take a closer look, and the five-colored silk threads were particularly dazzling in the slightly dimly lit room.
To say that there are still some days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Princess Feng Yi prepared this early, and it seems that it is indeed a long time, and it is really boring. But to whom is this expedition to protect against calamity and to protect against the chaos of war? The answer is naturally extremely clear, it must be Gao Cheng, the son of the world who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time.
"Why didn't you wake me up when my sister came?" Gao Yuanjun was distracted, and suddenly heard the voice of Princess Feng Yi behind him. She quickly retracted her thoughts, turned around, and saw that Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua, had already opened the veil and came out. She was wearing a pale green skirt and a pale lotus top, but she looked a little thin in this cold room. The hair was scattered, and it was not combed into a bun, probably because he felt that since he didn't go out, there was no need to modify it, and there was no hairpin ring jewelry on his head.
Gao Yuanjun walked over, took her hand, sat down again, looked at her eyes suddenly turned red, and asked in a slightly choked voice, "Why is my sister-in-law so haggard?" Even if there is something, there is grandpa and mother, and sister-in-law doesn't have to give up on herself like this. ”
Yuan Zhonghua and Gao Yuanjun are of the same age, they grew up together in the mansion since childhood, and their relationship is also very good. Although the relationship is not so close, they have a good impression of each other and are very close to each other. Yuan Zhonghua heard that she had no reason to say this, it was very strange, and it was even more strange to see Gao Yuanjun looking quite angry.
Gao Yuanjun saw Yuan Zhonghua staring at her in a daze, and he didn't know why she didn't know why, thinking that she was miserable in her heart, so he persuaded again, "Sister-in-law, don't worry." I haven't seen the dancing girl of General Sun Teng's family, but my mother will not allow the eldest brother to divorce his wife, let alone ask the eldest brother to set up a domestic prostitute as the princess. "Gao Yuanjun is obviously extremely righteous to his sister-in-law, and he looks down on the prostitute who is a dancing girl.
"General Sun Teng's dancing queen?" Yuan Zhonghua was still stunned, half-understanding, as if he was asking Gao Yuanjun, and as if he was talking to himself. My heart trembled, as if I had stepped into the air. It turned out to be no joke to divorce his wife and not marry, did he really want to marry another? She also vaguely knew that Gao Cheng was often in the mansion of the later general Sun Teng these days. There were a lot of things going on in the palace, and I thought it was Gao Cheng who was upset and had no clue before discussing with Sun Teng and others. Unexpectedly, it was because of a dancing girl in Sun Teng's mansion that he lingered here.
She ...... What's her name? Yuan Zhonghua asked inexplicably, with a very bad premonition in his heart.
