553 Lantern Night
The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened. The dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes one by one. The wanderers are all plums, and the songs are all plums. Jin Wu can't help the night, and the jade leak is not urging.
On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, the capital is like a sea of lights, with endless laughter and laughter, which makes people really feel the prosperity of the prosperous world. The temple of the divine doctor is a lively place, not to mention such festivals, it is overcrowded and wants to ask for peace, but the backyard is heavily guarded, really three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and one waist board is upright and holds a horizontal knife without squinting, at a glance it is an elite division, if you go further in, you can feel a breath of nothingness, I want to be a martial arts master. At this moment, if someone walks to the door of the Qingxin Pavilion, he will be able to recognize the identities of the two door gods at the door, Li Yi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and Li Mu, the leader of the blood guard.
In the courtyard, it is His Majesty Chu Haoran and the filial piety king Chu Haoyu, but today, the two of them stood on one side, staring intently at the divine doctor Li Sihan, who was taking the pulse of the Queen Mother.
Today, Chu Haoyu was about to accompany Chu Ruotong out of the house to see the lanterns after dinner, but he was called away by Xiao Shunzi, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to go out of the palace to see the lanterns. Chu Haoyu didn't dare to slack off in this regard, and immediately arranged for the blood guards to be strictly guarded, and then when Chu Haoyu arrived at the palace, the holy Chu Haoran had already arranged it, and the two brothers accompanied the queen mother out of the palace, and after half a circle in the capital, Chu Haoyu's mind suddenly moved and came to the Divine Medicine Temple.
When the divine doctor Li Sihan withdrew his palm, a smile appeared on the emaciated face of the Queen Mother, and she asked first, "Mr. Li, how is it?" ”
When he took the pulse just now, Li Sihan had already thought of his words, so he said with an unchanged expression: "The Queen Mother has lost her appetite these days and can't sleep soundly at night?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded lightly and said: "What the divine doctor said is not bad, the old body doesn't want to eat anything these days, especially at night, it seems to echo in the past in a daze, and in my mind, it is all the people and things I have encountered in this life, over and over again." ”
At this moment, Chu Haoyu interjected and said: "Mr. Li, the queen mother has had this symptom for more than a month, especially after the cold weather, this king has mentioned asking Mr. to enter the palace several times, but the queen mother has refused. ”
Glancing at Chu Haoyu, Li Sihan set his eyes on the Queen Mother again. He could guess why the Empress Dowager didn't let him enter the palace to see a doctor, because the Empress Dowager herself had already noticed her physical condition, and Chu Haoyu, as a martial arts master in the realm of heaven and man, could not have noticed the situation of the Empress Dowager, and now she was brought to the Temple of the Divine Doctor, obviously holding on to the last glimmer of hope, but he Li Sihan was not a divine doctor after all!
With a sigh in his heart, Li Sihan's expression did not change, and he opened his mouth and said: "The Queen Mother's loss of appetite is indeed related to the cold weather. ”
Seeing that Li Sihan only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, how Chu Haoran and Chu Haoyu didn't understand what he meant, they both sighed in their hearts, but the two of them still pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Then it's bothering the miracle doctor." ”
Standing up, Li Sihan saluted to the Holy Lord Chu Haoran and said, "Your Majesty is polite." The Queen Mother, the prince, wait a minute, the old man will come when he goes. ”
Seeing Li Sihan leaving, and then looking at Chu Haoran and Chu Haoyu, the two brothers stood solemnly on one side, the Queen Mother was happy, and chuckled: "What are you two brothers standing for, sitting, sitting, talking with the old body, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, I feel that the air is fresh." ”
After all, he is very human, Chu Haoran has put away all his emotions in his breath, sat down and said at the same time: "Since the queen mother wants to leave the palace, when the weather warms up, I will order Xiao Qi to accompany you for a good walk." ”
Chu Haoyu also said: "Queen Mother, when the spring flowers bloom, Xiao Qi will accompany you all over the capital." Hehe, Xiao Qi still remembers the demeanor of the queen mother when you taught Xiao Qi to read, the light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing. It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital. After a slight pause at this, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said: "It's the poem of the queen mother, Xiao Qi sneaked out of the palace to see the imperial capital that is absolutely smoky." ”
The Queen Mother was amused by Chu Haoyu, and said with a smile: "You are a little naughty, obviously you are naughty yourself, and you have to push it on the old body, but my mother remembers that what your kid yearns for is the green cow and white horse seven-spice car, and the old body can't entangle you in the end, so you can only ask the Zongren Mansion to send the green cow and white horse seven-incense car, and the seven-incense car is still in the palace." ”
Chu Haoyu didn't deny it, but smiled like a naughty boy: "Isn't this to make your mother happy!" ”
Suddenly, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing again, just laughing and laughing but coughing, Chu Haoyu, who was watching, hurriedly went up to support her, patted the Queen Mother's back and said, "Queen Mother, you slow down, slow down." ”
At this moment, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran also opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, it's not that you don't know Xiao Qi's temperament, when you were a child, you didn't admit your mistakes, and now your temperament doesn't change." ”
The Queen Mother tasted Chu Haoran's words for a moment, and the laughter that had not yet fallen in her mouth sounded again, but this time, it was obviously much weaker, and said with a smile: "You two brothers, you know that it is really difficult to make the old body happy, and it is really difficult for you to be filial." Speaking of this, the Queen Mother looked at the two of them with kindness and love in her eyes, and said: "The happiest thing in the old body in this life is to give birth to your three brothers, especially to see that your brothers live in harmony. ”
Chu Haoran and Chu Haoyu are both talented people, how can they not understand the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, just thinking of something, the two of them couldn't help but glance at each other. Soon, Chu Haoran set his eyes on the Queen Mother, and pretended to be unhappy and said: "Queen Mother, today is the Lantern Festival, our brother specially accompanied you out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, it can be described as a beautiful scenery, what do you think about the Queen Mother?" ”
Chu Haoyu was also a little unhappy with the words of the Queen Mother, and opened his mouth and said: "What the eldest brother said is that the queen mother, if you say these frustrating words again, Xiao Qi will be unhappy." ”
Seeing that the two of them deliberately straightened their faces, the Queen Mother was happy again, waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't say it, you two brothers can accompany the old body to watch the lights today, and the old body is happy and happy." ”
While the three of them were talking, Li Sihan walked in with a few packets of medicine, bowed down and said: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Prince, this is a medicine that calms the nerves and strengthens the spleen. ”
Looking at Li Sihan, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Then Mr. Lao is annoying." It's not too early, the old body is a little rolled, go back to the palace! ”
The queen mother was really rolled, she fell asleep in the carriage halfway, and returned to Cining Palace to serve the queen mother to sleep, Chu Haoran said to Chu Haoyu: "Little Qi, go with the eldest brother." Without waiting for Chu Haoyu's consent, Chu Haoran had already taken a step, seeing this, Chu Haoyu did not speak, and followed with a step.
During the Lantern Festival, the palace is also full of lanterns, but compared with the outer city, it is obviously less lively and a little deserted, especially when I saw the saint Chu Haoran, whether it was the concubines and nobles or the palace maids and eunuchs, they knelt down and saluted silently.
Walking into a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Chu Haoran suddenly smiled and said, "Today's Lantern Festival, Xiao Qi, you will accompany your eldest brother to have a glass of wine and talk." After a pause, Chu Haoran said as if laughing at himself: "Although the eldest brother is the emperor, it is difficult to find someone to talk to. ”
Seeing the eldest brother Chu Haoran looking up at the moon, Chu Haoyu smiled to himself, and said: "Big brother, if you want to drink and find someone to talk to in the future, just call Xiao Qi, hehe, your Xiao Qi has been naughty since childhood, and it's okay to make you happy, but big brother, you can't punish Xiao Qi anymore, now our Xiao Qi is the generalissimo, how much you have to save me some face." ”
With a poof, Chu Haoran burst out laughing, and the happy laughter even bent his waist, and it took a long time to calm down. Shaking his head, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and said: "Okay, you are a little Qi, you are really as naughty as when you were a child, no wonder your father likes you so much." Speaking of this, Chu Haoran patted Chu Haoyu on the shoulder, and then said: "But as you said, my little seven has also grown up and can share the worries of the eldest brother." Come, have a drink with the eldest brother. ”
Just as the two were talking, Xiao Shunzi had already set up the wine and food, seeing this, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, do you want our brothers to have a drunk party?" ”
Suddenly, Chu Haoran laughed again and said, "You kid, don't you sincerely make your eldest brother happy?" Don't think I don't know, you kid is not drunk with a thousand cups, Xuanjiawei returned triumphantly a few years ago, you drank thousands of jars of wine in the Ethereal Pavilion, drank and lay down hundreds of men, the third and Fang Lin were all drunk and lying down by you, and Yuan Jing's kid actually wanted to call him a brother and sister, but he was slapped by the second child and fainted. I'm going to get drunk with you, hum! With a cold snort, Chu Haoran took the wine glass and poured it.
After drinking a drink with his eldest brother Chu Haoran, Chu Haoyu seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "Big brother, you can't blame me for this, since Xiaoqi broke through the realm of heaven and man, the true qi in his body operated endlessly, and he directly eliminated the alcohol qi." ”
This time, Chu Haoran didn't laugh at Chu Haoyu anymore, but asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Qi, you have broken through the realm of heaven and man in Mobei for ten years, what is the point now?" Hehe, if you and the second child both break through the Grandmaster Realm, one sect and three grandmasters, it can be regarded as a wonder of the ages. ”
Speaking of martial arts, Chu Haoyu's expression gradually calmed down, and said: "Let's get started with half a foot, but when I will be able to break through the grandmaster realm, Xiao Qi can't say for sure, I'm afraid that the second brother can't say for sure, once he has an epiphany, he will be the grandmaster." ”
Chu Haoran's martial arts are just extraordinary, and he nodded and said: "Back then, my father had an epiphany and broke through the Grandmaster Realm, and my father's realization was because of Xiao Qi's birth, speaking of which, you are really the blessed general of my Chu family." Father, because you understand the realm of the grandmaster, the eldest brother can pacify Mobei, your kid should be the first to take the lead, if you eradicate the heavenly thorn traitor, it is enough to ensure the peace of my Chu family for a hundred years. ”
Hearing this, Chu Haoyu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, you can rest assured, Xiao Qi has no other ambitions, and he must find out the shadow." ”
After looking at Chu Haoyu for a moment, Chu Haoran picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Okay, the eldest brother will prepare a celebration wine for you in advance." After drinking the wine in the cup, the smile on Chu Haoran's face gradually dissipated, and he said slowly: "Xiao Qi, the third child mentioned to you why I want to set up an inspector, right?" ”
Chu Haoyu nodded and said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother mentioned it, Xiao Qi is asking the eldest brother for something." Big brother, Xiao Qi thinks that this patrol envoy, the third brother is the most suitable. ”
With a soft sound, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Chu Haoyu had already thought of his rhetoric, and said solemnly: "The third brother is a battlefield general and a bold and righteous person, and he is familiar with the generals of the army, and the third brother will inspect the three armies, and the generals will not have any complaints, this is one of them; Second, after all, Xiao Qi is in charge of Tianwei, and if Xiao Qi inspects the three armies, it will inevitably make the generals suspicious; Third, the third brother has been addicted to wind and snow in the past ten years, and if he continues to be so decadent, Xiao Qi is worried that the third brother will really collapse. After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu turned his mouth and said: "As for the secret son of the Heavenly Thorn traitor hiding in the army, Xiao Qi will transfer the Eagle Guard elite to investigate this matter in detail and give the eldest brother an answer." At the end of the words, Chu Haoyu stared straight at his eldest brother Chu Haoran, wanting to hear how he answered.
