Chapter 39: Crying
The wind of late spring blows everything, and the scene of the prince of Jin is full of life. The trees on both sides of the stone path are lush and lush, and the willow branches on the waterfront are verdant; Birds and birds sing in the forest, horses drink water by the water, and the architectural arrangement between the landscape and garden is very beautiful.
The largest building area is the main hall of the two-story building on the front, "Fengmanlou", which is also where Xue Chongxun and his main staff often stay. At this time, Xue Chongxun was staying in a study inside, and he couldn't go to the palace during this time, except for staying at home, he could only go to the pro-kingdom activities.
He looked at the outside of the wood-lined "borrowed window" and thought about some questions, and the person who thought about it the most was naturally Princess Taiping. For Princess Taiping's feelings, he loves and fears ...... is indeed a little afraid of her, because if Xue Chongxun dares to deal with her, he will be condemned by mainstream public opinion, and he will not be able to run away if he is disloyal, unfilial, and rebellious; On the other hand, if Princess Taiping wants to deal with herself, the pressure she will receive is much less, and she can even use the excuse of being loyal to Li Tang and killing her relatives righteously. Although Xue Chongxun didn't know that she would do that, he still understood the stakes.
At this moment, Xue Chongxun's feelings are very complex and messy, as if people are composed of two contradictory sides, he feels pity for the dictatorship that is about to arrive, and feels lost and depressed for the temporary extinguishment of ambition; At the same time, the weak side hidden in his heart made him seem to breathe a sigh of relief: if Princess Taiping can fully accept her olive branch, and have a trusted relative like her to share the pressure of maintaining power, it can indeed reduce a lot of his psychological burden.
Later, a lyricist said that "the height is unbearable" is not a lie, and the people who hold the power are most afraid of the man-made rebellion below, which will be overthrown and completely ruined. Princess Taiping's mature and experienced experience in power struggle can undoubtedly give their family's prosperity and wealth an extra layer of security, who doesn't want to have someone to rely on at home with their parents? When Xue Chongxun felt that he was about to lose his mother last year, the helpless hesitation and fragility that suddenly came was not untrue.
But with loss comes loss, which is the gradual dimming of ambition...... Want to wait to inherit the power of Princess Taiping? That's too unreliable, Xue Chongxun is nearly thirty years old, and Princess Taiping is only in her early forties, maybe her old man will live longer than Xue Chongxun. It is not uncommon for some emperors in history to live too long, and the throne is only passed on to their grandchildren, not to mention that women may have lived longer than emperors who have indulged in excessive desires.
In any case, it is wisest to reconcile at the moment, Xue Chongxun put his feelings behind, picked up the brush on the inkstone and began to write letters.
Write a letter first to say good things, and then go to the palace to her. He thought so, anyway, the Shence army was all transferred, and it didn't make sense to be too wary.
Xue Chongxun's literary brilliance is really a tragedy, how ugly and ugly the half-literate words are, but he still concentrates on choosing words and sentences, hoping to further ease the relationship with Princess Taiping.
Just as he was scratching his head and thinking hard, a small official hurriedly walked in and said, "Xue Lang, Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has come to the kingdom!" No one dared to stop her, and she had already entered the door and came to the front hall. ”
"Is there a Yulin Army?" Xue Chongxun asked in the first sentence. But after thinking about it, if a large group of Yulin Army had made a move, the inner factory would have reported it in a long time ago.
Sure enough, the little official said: "No, there are only twenty or thirty followers, most of whom are eunuchs in the palace and civil officials in the court." ”
Xue Chongxun's heart was overjoyed, and then he was moved, his mother was expressing a kind of trust! He immediately put down the brush and stood up and said, "The official of the palace will go with me to greet him." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the study, he saw that Princess Taiping had already entered the main hall, and he was walking over here.
Xue Chongxun was still wearing a kudzu robe and dressed very irregularly, he really didn't expect Princess Taiping to take the initiative to come to his mansion, and at this time, he couldn't care about it anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, choking up: "Erchen......" Princess Taiping didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately held her voice and said a little strangely: "Don't say anything." ”
At this time, Wang Changling, Yu Wenxiao and other staff officials also came from the office and saluted Princess Taiping together. Princess Taiping didn't care about other officials at all, grabbed Xue Chongxun's arm and helped him up: "I've slept for several months, and I don't feel like I haven't seen Chongxun for a long time, but it's true that I haven't seen you for a long time...... Well, the beard seems to have grown a bit. Let's go inside and talk quietly. ”
"Yes, Mother." Xue Chongxun respectfully hugged his fists.
At this time, he was at the door of a study in the Fengmanlou, and Princess Taiping casually walked into the study with his hand, leaving dozens of officials in the main hall completely ignorant. People looked at each other and after a while they started talking to each other.
Xue Chongxun brought a chair and put it in front of the window due north, and let Princess Taiping sit on the seat and sit down by himself. But Princess Taiping asked him to move his chair closer, so he had to sit next to her.
Princess Taiping smiled and said: "My illness has been cured, you haven't entered the palace to see me for so many days, and you don't have me as a mother in your heart?" ”
Xue Chongxun had mixed feelings in his heart, and said: "The son is so ashamed that he has no shame to see his mother, so he plans to write a letter to ask him to enter the palace to meet again." ”
"Did you do something wrong?" Princess Taiping's smile remained unchanged, and her big eyes kept looking at Xue Chongxun. At this time, she looks even more beautiful, as if she is a lot younger, it can't be because of Yuqing's so-called "elixir", right? Maybe it's because of the good mood, after a few days of raising and then putting on exquisite makeup, it looks more and more dazzling.
She is taller than many men, and not much shorter than Xue Chongxun, otherwise she would not be able to naturally reveal that domineering between throws, but the plump body arc is so smooth and soft, giving people the feeling that it completely matches the hot, unrestrained and unrestrained style that is popular in the Tang Empire. You must know that Princess Taiping was a great beauty in Chang'an and even the whole country of the Tang Dynasty before she got married, maybe in the eyes of modern times, she does not conform to the delicate aesthetics, but in the eyes of people at this time, she is the most popular type: healthy, plump, dignified, and enthusiastic.
Princess Taiping's speech is relatively lackluster, but it can make people's hearts warm: "Chongxun didn't do anything wrong, even if you do something wrong, I will forgive you...... Anything wrong, your body and hair are mine. ”
Xue Chongxun's eyes widened, stunned, he knew that Princess Taiping was talking from his heart, was there anyone who knew his mother better than him? He suddenly seemed to be as warm and soft as returning to a woman's womb, he felt a strong feeling of security, doting, pampering, etc., and the cold game in life seemed to disappear all at once, and the lost family affection returned. At this moment, he was indeed moved......
With a "plop", Xue Chongxun suddenly knelt on the ground, and when he was nearly thirty years old, he actually threw himself into the arms of Princess Taiping and cried, the cry was sad and happy.
For so many years, Xue Chongxun doesn't remember that he cried, he didn't seem to have cried when he was a child, and he thought that there was something wrong with the tear glands, and today is the first time in his memory. It turned out that the man was crying so happily, there was an indescribable strong feeling of pleasure, as if the pores of the whole body were stretched, as if the body had reached the realm of ascension, and it was so easy that people were scared.
"Wow...... Wow......" cries roared in the study, and the greedy Qiē that had almost been lost for decades cried back.
The two great pleasures of life are nothing more than laughing and crying loudly, and that's it.
Princess Taiping was a little surprised at first, but her eyes became gentle, her big eyes were full of doting, only Xue Chongxun was alone, she reached out and stroked the head in her arms and said softly: "The wronged child." ”
Xue Chongxun cried endlessly, and found that his tears were so many that he wet a piece of silk on Princess Taiping's abdomen, he hugged Princess Taiping's waist tightly, buried his head greedily smelling the fragrance of his mother's body, and rubbed the warmth in her body, as if he wanted to melt himself into that embrace. Princess Taiping's face was red, and she was almost suffocated by this sudden enthusiasm, and the excitement really made her a little unbearable.
Without any words, she got close to Xue Chongxun's heart.
Xue Chongxun cried enough before he choked up and said: "Erchen's every qiē is my mother's, and all the things outside my body, every inch of skin and hair, and my internal organs all belong to adults...... I was ashamed of my hesitation and scheming, and I was ashamed of myself. If there is a hell in this world, I am willing to do anything to go down to the eighteen layers of hell for adults......"
Princess Taiping still had a smile on her face, but her beautiful big eyes had flashed tears, she hugged Xue Chongxun tightly into her arms, and she couldn't find any words to express her feelings, so she could only let Xue Chongxun's ears be close to her chest, as if she wanted him to feel and listen to the heartbeat. Her milk that Xue Chongxun once ate was full of milk, although it was so soft through the clothes that it almost suffocated Xue Chongxun, it was very unreasonable for him to be such a big person and rub on his mother's milk room, the so-called female avoidance of father and son and mother is like this, but the love of the two people has been burning, full of family love, those subsections have long been thrown out of the Jiuxiao Domain, who has the heart to think of etiquette?
Princess Taiping trembled: "The most gratifying thing in my life is that I have Chongxun, and my mother's qiē is also yours, don't you want to be the emperor?" I'll let you do it! ”
Xue Chongxun's head suddenly turned cold, and his mind was blank in shock: "Mother, this matter must not be allowed, and Erchen doesn't have that mind, I'll talk about it when you calm down." ”
"Can you still calm down?" Princess Taiping's eyes were a fiery red, almost crazy.
An official in the main hall said, "I seem to have heard the cry of King Jin?" ”
An official next to him smiled: "Admit your mistakes, and you'll be fine after admitting your mistakes." ”G
