Chapter 1: The Split of the Pillar Kingdom (1)
If you look closely at the frozen ground, it is cyan. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the weather is still cold, it is not as gloomy and damp as winter and can erode people's bones. The spring breeze is like a scissor, although it sometimes hurts like a knife when it blows on the face, but after all, spring is coming. Soon, the goose yellow and willow green could no longer be hidden.
All things strive for glory, and no one can stop the pace of spring. Chang'an City is about to come to the time when the weather is bright and the beauties who go out of the city are coming. Compared with the bustling and noisy market, the Wei Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion are particularly deserted.
In the palace, the emperor's ingots torch has been sick in bed. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the general of Shangzhu Guoda and the prime minister Yu Wentai have also been unable to live in the depths. However, the crown prince Yuanqin stepped forward at this critical moment and took on the heavy responsibility of the family and country, which invisibly made his father Yuan Baoju and father-in-law Yuwentai a lot easier.
Although it is the crown prince who supervises the country, the major affairs are still decided by the prime minister. Since the death of the eldest prime minister's wife and eldest princess Yuan Yuying, Prime Minister Yu Wentai's heart disease and physical illness have also been living in the house. Only relatives and confidants often communicate with each other, and it is naturally inconvenient for the prince to come, but the princess is the daughter of the prime minister and cares about her father's illness, so she has come a few times.
The back garden of the Prime Minister's House is exceptionally quiet. Nan Qiao stood outside the Buddha hall and watched the warm spring sun illuminate and warm the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and his heart settled down. It's hard to look back on how this long winter came about. I just remember the feeling for months only the endless and the dark and the ubiquitous cold. Without the prime minister's mansion of the main mother and eldest princess Yuan Yuying, there is simply no popularity.
Nan Qiao saw the concubine Yun Jiang holding Xiao Langjun Mi Otu's hand and slowly walked over. Yun Jiang's steps were very slow, and he was very accommodating. Miotu's little hand was held in Yun Jiang's hand, and he only looked left and right, looking very relaxed. Yun Jiang looked down at Mi Otu from time to time, or simply stopped and whispered a few words to him.
In order to make up for the Russian outburst, Yun Jiang has now finally broken away from the identity of a slave and become the concubine of Prime Minister Yu Wentai. This is more like a kind of perception of the people in the Xiangfu themselves, and no one has to explain Yun Jiang's identity. Lord Lang named Mi Outu Xiao Langjun Yu Wenzhen, and said that he was Yun Jiang's son. It should be said that it was the clarity of Yu Wenzhen's identity that led to the elevation of Yun Jiang's identity.
Nan Qiao is a gift to Yun Jiang's slave and maid. She is the confidant of the deceased mistress, and her attitude at this time is more like the attitude of replacing the deceased mistress. So her attitude gave the other servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion a kind of example.
Yun Jiang changed his hair, and his dress was still elegant and simple, not eye-catching. However, her original beauty has not changed, and because of Mi Otu, she looks more like a mother.
Nan Qiao likes to look at Yun Jiang like this, and always feels at ease. She greeted Yun Jiang. Mio suddenly wanted to play, but Yun Jiang carefully instructed the slave to take care of it. It was indeed obedient to keep looking at Miotu, and he turned around without being too naughty.
"Is Lord Lang okay?" Yun Jiang asked with a gentle and kind smile.
Since the death of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying, Nan Qiao has no other mission, only copying and reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. And during these days, Lang Lord Yuwentai was always in the Buddhist hall, and Nan Qiao gradually changed from the confidant of the eldest princess to the confidant of the prime minister.
During this period of time, except for Nan Qiao, Yuwentai refused to approach anyone in the mansion.
"Yun Ji will see for herself." Nan Qiao turned sideways, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw that the door of the Buddha hall was open. She and Yuwentai are in the same mood, and it is difficult to accept the fact that Yuan Yuying has passed away, and Yuwentai is more than her, so Nan Qiao understands Lord Lang's mood very well.
It's just that Nan Qiao sighed for the eldest princess in her heart. Why do you have to wait until things are wrong to regret it?
Yun Jiang didn't speak, and his heart became heavy again.
The smell of sweet pine wafted from the door with a bitter taste. This is the incense that Yuan Yuying often burned when she was alive, making people feel as if she could see her smiling as if she was smiling as if she was alive when she opened the door of the Buddhist hall. And since Yuan Yuying's death, Yuwentai has hardly left this Buddhist hall for several months.
What a great cause of the family and country, ambitious and heroic, there is nothing. I can no longer see the big prime minister who always shouldered the heavy responsibility of social society in the past.
"The general of the chariot cavalry, the general of the hussars, and the governor of the capital are invited to see them, and they are waiting outside the garden, so please ask the prime minister to shake something." Yun Jiang's eyes looked at the door of the Buddha Hall, but the words were with Nan Qiao.
The cavalry general Yu Jin and the hussar general Zhao Gui are Yuwentai's henchmen, needless to say. The Metropolitan Governor refers to Yuwentai's nephew, the son of his eldest brother, the general Yuwengo of Zhendong. Yuwen Hu has always followed his uncle Yuwentai, but he was not very conspicuous before. It wasn't until after the death of the eldest princess that Yuwentai neglected national politics and housekeeping, and the eldest princess's son Yuwenjue was young, so he intended to let Congzi Yuwenhu assist.
Yuwen Hu is not very old, but he is very deep and low-key, so low-key that it can almost be ignored. Perhaps Yuwentai is taking a fancy to his mature and stable character and not like to rush forward.
Yuwentai doesn't go out of the house and doesn't ask about everything, so only Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Yuwenhu and others come to the house to report everything. Yu Jin and the others didn't say it, Yun Jiang also knew it in his heart. Now that the emperor Yuan Baoju and the prime minister Yu Wentai are both in a state of lost soul, the prince Yuanqin, the prince, has taken this opportunity to take power back to himself in advance.
Yun Jiang also knew the personality of the prince, and at this time, he must have been enthusiastic in his heart, and he couldn't relax his talents and show his ambition. It's just that the prince is close to his father, and the **** went to Zhaoyang Hall to ask for instructions, but he has never been to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for advice.
It is precisely because he can't see anything unusual about the prince on the surface, and he always says in public how much he respects the prime minister in his heart, which makes it even more suspicious. Yu Wentai didn't care about it at this time, Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Yu Wenhu and others couldn't also let it go, they were all anxious in their hearts and had no way to cheer Yuwentai up.
There's a trickier thing.
Queen Yu Jiulu has been pregnant for a few months, she wants to give birth to a daughter, if she has another concubine, with the queen's fierce personality, I am afraid that it will immediately cause trouble within the palace walls.
The eldest princess Yuan Yuying confined the queen Yu Jiulu in the Fengyi Hall in the palace before she died of illness. After the death of the abolished Empress Yifu, the emperor Yuan Baoju and the prime minister Yu Wentai returned to Chang'an, and no one lifted the ban on the empress. And on the contrary, the guards are stricter, the emperor, the crown prince, and the prime minister, there is no one who does not hate Luo Ying.
Before Luo Ying was banned, he had already ordered someone to send the news to his younger brother, the son of Rouran, Bald Tujia. At this time, Bald Tujia was already in Chang'an. It's just that he lives in the pavilion and no one cares, which is probably a cold reception that has never been seen since the beginning.
With Bald Tujia's personality and the brotherhood between him and Yuwentai, at this time, he actually stood still, and he didn't ask for the guilt of the queen Xingshi, nor did he ask for consolation because of the eldest princess, no matter how you think about it, it's a very strange thing. There is a gap in Bald Jia's heart, and the relationship between Da Wei and Rouran is tense, which is almost a certain thing.
"Yun Ji go inside." Nan Qiao looked at Yun Jiang. She felt more and more that the late master's mother, Yuan Yuying, had the wisdom to know people, and I was afraid that at this time, only Yun Jiang was Yuwentai's greatest comfort.
Yun Jiang didn't speak, and glanced at Nan Qiao lightly. Her heart was heavy at this time, but these words were not to be said to Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao looked at Yun Jiang's back floating in. It seems to be light and weak, but it always gives people a sense of perseverance. Yun Jiang was also the support of her heart at this time. She has been with the eldest princess for more than ten years, and once Yuanyu Yingxian goes, even if she is an inconspicuous slave, she will be equally disappointed. Only when she saw Yun Jiang would she feel a sense of comfort.
The taste of jashimin is stronger, and even a little choking. The Mistress had never made the fragrance so strong. Yun Jiang glanced at Yu Wentai, who was leaning in the rope bed and didn't know if he was asleep, did he want to use this smell to find a trace of Yuan Yuying's existence?
Yuwentai was actually not asleep, he opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and looked at her as if he didn't know Yun Jiang, but he didn't speak, so that people didn't know what he was thinking.
Yun Jiang saw strangeness, alienation, and even hidden hostility in Yu Wentai's eyes. How many times have you been gentle with each other, it seems that it has never existed at this moment. He was so cold to her.
Yu Wentai was wearing a dark robe, sitting with his head in the department, and there was no demeanor at all. The face is full of haggardness, not to mention the dark complexion, and even the eyes that were originally very bright are completely radiant, and they look very gloomy. Since that day, he has been ten years old, which makes Yun Jiang feel sad.
"Lord Lang," Yun Jiang walked over and knelt down in front of his knees, gently holding his knees with both hands, and looking up at him. "The two generals, Yu and Zhao, as well as the Grand Governor, have been waiting outside to see Lord Lang." She paused, looking at Yuwentai's expression.
There was something uncertain in his eyes, and he didn't seem to understand her. Yun Jiang reminded again, "There must be something important, so Lord Lang will see it." Her voice was soft and soft, as if she were usually coaxing Miothu to speak.
"Nope!" Yu Wentai flatly refused. He didn't want to get involved in these worries at all. remembered that Yuan Yuying was entangled in such things for him before his death, and he had no good impression of this so-called Jiangshan Sheji. It was for these worthless things that made him ignore Yuan Yuying, and until her death, the two of them never really had a relationship with each other.
Seeing that Yu Wentai was about to be angry, Yun Jiang didn't persuade him again. She was still kneeling and looking up, her eyes looking at Yuwentai's face carefully, just as she had looked at Mi Otu. "Lord Lang has been sitting for a long time, are you tired? The sun is just right today, Mi Ao is playing outside, can the lord go out and take a look? Yun Jiang made another proposal.
"Eventful!" Yu Wentai suddenly reprimanded angrily. At the same time, he reached out and pulled the hem of his robe, and also took the opportunity to brush away Yun Jiang. Lately, he has been so irritable and irritable, and I don't know how many servants have been beaten in anger. The concubines were fine, because they didn't have a chance to see him at all.
Yun Jiang's center of gravity was unstable, and he was also half-leaning on his knees. He suddenly shook her off, causing her to sit down on one side, and her body was crooked, almost falling to the ground.
Yun Jiang felt a pain in his abdomen and didn't move for a long time.
Yuwentai leaned back and closed her eyes regardless of how she was at this time.
Yun Jiang's heart was cold and painful, he slowly straightened up, knelt on the ground, and just wanted to slow down and get up again, when he suddenly heard the voice of Mi Otu behind him.
"Mother" Mi Otu was standing at the door of the Buddha hall and did not come in, her round little head and chubby little body did not move between the cracks in the door, and a pair of lacquer-like eyes that looked very much like her father were staring at Yun Jiang curiously.
This child is more wary than other children of the same age, and there is often melancholy in his eyes. Apparently he wanted to come, but he didn't.
Since Yue'e died, the only person Miotu is really willing to get close to is Yun Jiang. Fortunately, the slave and maid who served and raised him in the past recovered from her injuries, and now she and Yun Jiang take care of Miotu. But Miotu seems to be naturally estranged from Yuwentai's father. He refused to draw near to him. Not only did he refuse to get close to Yuwentai, but he also refused to get close to other brothers, Yuwentai's sisters-in-law, and concubines.
Miotu's call made Yuwentai open his eyes. He saw Miothu in a hurry, and he was still sitting in the rope bed, not moving or speaking, but only opening his eyes and looking at Miothu. Yuwentai's feelings for Mi Otu in his heart are complicated.
The love he had for Miothu in his heart was sometimes unmatched. It is not only to Mi Otu, but also to Yue'e's guilt and thoughts about Yang Shunhua, all of which will converge on Mi Otu. But whenever he sees him, especially in this mansion and in this Buddhist hall, he thinks of Yuan Yuying.
She tolerated the unhappiness in her heart while she was alive. Regarding the matter between him and Yue'e, Yuan Yuying had already understood it clearly in her heart, but she almost didn't say a word. Would she like to see Miotto?
Yun Jiang saw Yu Wentai's gloomy and terrifying eyes, and she was really scared in her heart.
"Miotu, go find the Taoist girl." Yun Jiang hurriedly admonished Mi Otu. At the same time, she ignored her comfort and forced herself to get up from the ground.
At this moment, Yu Wentai suddenly stood up from the rope bed. Eyes were glued to Miothu.
When Miotu's eyes met his father's eyes, he didn't do what Yun Jiang told him, but looked straight ahead.
Yuwentai felt a little surprised. He suddenly realized that this was his son by flesh and blood.
Yun Jiang thought of the scenes in the Yunyin Temple, and he was extremely afraid. At that time, I felt that Yuwentai's heart was very cold.
Yuwentai's body shook, he steadied, and took a step forward.
Yun Jiang stopped in front of him and reluctantly smiled, "Lord Lang, the two generals and the Grand Governor have been waiting for a long time. ”
Yu Wentai was stopped by this, and suddenly withdrew his gaze and focused on Yun Jiang. I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, looking at Yun Jiang like a stranger, even hostile.
Although Yun Jiang was afraid, he did not take a step back.
Miotu actually pushed the door and walked in.
The air tensed for a moment. The room was so quiet, Yuwentai looked at Yun Jiang, and Yun Jiang also looked up at him. She felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, ready to take on what came next.
"Xiao Langjun, why did you come here?" Nan Qiao's voice came from behind Miotu.
Nan Qiao pretended to walk in easily, picked up Miotu, and turned to hand it to the Taoist girl who followed her. The Taoist girl immediately walked out with Mi Otu in her arms.
"Mother......" Miotu called again when he was taken away.
The Taoist girl soon disappeared with Mi Ohtu in her arms.
Of course Nan Qiao knew what was going on, and she was going to act like she didn't know anything. She walked up to Yu Wentai, she was the only person in this mansion who dared to accept the lord now.
Nan Qiao smiled and saluted, "The slave and maid have not congratulated the Lang master, and the Lang master forgives the sin." ”
The two words "Daohe" made Yu Wentai's face change immediately. He lost his beloved wife, and then someone dared to congratulate him. (To be continued.) )
