Wind Stop Palace Green Silk Palaceββ
Qing Concubine woke up in the afternoon, her whole body was weak and weak, and she couldn't lift her spirits after sleeping for a long time, her eyelids drooped, as if she was awake.
Cai Ju, who had been guarding the side, was very happy to see her wake up, "Niangniang, you woke up, how do you feel?" Still uncomfortable? β
Qing Concubine didn't respond, she didn't want to talk lazily, Cai Ju twisted her handkerchief, and wiped Qing Concubine's hands and face carefully, the warm feeling made Qing Concubine feel better, and she sat up and drank a glass of sugar water with her folded hand to feel dizzy and relieved, but she still didn't want to speak.
Cai Ju asked: "Niangniang has slept for almost a day, and the slave maid asked the kitchen to boil shredded chicken porridge, can Niangniang use some?" The young concubine bowed her head, and picked chrysanthemums and ordered not to mention it.
Then the two little palace maids holding porridge and side dishes moved the small case table and laid it out on the couch, "Niangniang, you can wake up, Lord Qin said, Niangniang has been sick for a long time, her body is weak, she didn't have breakfast, and she was tired after kneeling for a long time, and she was short of qi and blood for a while, so it would be good to wake up." β
The shredded chicken porridge was simmered for three hours, the chicken was cooked thinly, the aroma was rich, the entrance was viscous, and the crisp pickle melon was very appetizing, and it took two bowls before I stopped before I knew it.
Only then did Concubine Qing ask out loud: "Concubine Yan also came back with her uncle?" β
Cai Ju saw that the master had stopped chopsticks, asked the two little palace maids to take care of the dishes, moved the small case, and waved them out, and then said: "I'm back, I'm in the Liuying Hall now, and as soon as I come back, I bumped into Mrs. Wen Yu to find fault, and it was also unlucky." β
Qing Concubine was silent, only squinted, unlucky?
Concubine Wang Xian gave birth to a child not long ago, and she couldn't wait to borrow the hand of Mrs. Wen Yu to interfere in palace affairs, and took over the real power of her and Concubine Yan one after another.
When Bai Suyan woke up, night had fallen, and a person could be vaguely seen through the bed, sitting on a small couch, facing a palace lamp, hazy, with a warm outline, and the sound of him flipping through the pages of the books in his hands could be heard in his ears.
Opened the curtain with his fingers, it was Luo Shuangyu, who seemed to have just bathed, with slightly damp hair, changed his coat, put on a coat, and was reading "Warring States Policy" against the candlelight.
"Awake? I ordered someone to boil some porridge, you can get up and use some and go to sleep!" β
Bai Suyan's mind was originally a little chaotic, but when she heard this, she immediately sobered up, lifted the quilt and knelt on the bed, "Your ...... The concubines knocked on the king, and the king was blessed with peace and security. β
Luo Shuangyu put down the book and said gently: "Excuse me, you are not in good health, and these false gifts can be avoided in the future." β
"Thank you." Having said that, after being dismissed, Bai Suyan did not lie down, and stayed directly, waiting on the side of the winter solstice unfolded the cloak and put it on her, and the summer solstice commanded the two little palace maids to spread the porridge and side dishes on the table.
Bai Suyan sat down opposite Luo Shuangyu, looked at the supper that was too rich for a person, and asked casually, "I don't know if you want to use a piece?" β
Luo Shuangyu thought about it, and with a bow, Xia Zhi next to him immediately stepped forward to lay out new tableware, and the two of them didn't say anything for a while, and they each cleaned their hands and ate.
Bai Suyan was really hungry, and she felt half full after using two and a half bowls of porridge at once, and when she raised her head to meet Luo Shuangyu's eyes, she felt a little ashamed of losing her honor in front of the king.
Luo Shuangyu was actually not hungry, she only picked out some refreshing pickles and cold dishes and stopped with a few chopsticks, looking at Bai Suyan's meal, she was embarrassed, her face rarely showed a little shyness, and she suddenly felt cute, and the smile on her face was a little more real than usual, "It's almost two watches, it's good to be half full, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." β
Bai Suyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, rinsed her mouth under the winter solstice, and drank half a cup of jasmine tea, and this supper came to an end.
Luo Shuangyu waved away from the palace and ordered the twins to wait outside the door before asking about the situation in Mufu, Bai Suyan told everything she had seen and heard, and occasionally stopped in the middle to reminisce.
After listening to her, the gentle smile on Luo Shuangyu's face remained unchanged, and she sighed half-truthfully, "If this Xiaohua is really the daughter of the Lin family, it is suitable to enter the Middle Palace." β
When it should be ruthless, it will be ruthless, and when it should be warm, it will be warm, to the upper and lower, there is a degree of advance and retreat, and the bias is appropriate, even if most people in the Mufu are trying to cover her eyes, she still sees through the situation clearly.
For every ambitious man, he hopes to have a virtuous helper like the eldest grandson queen, who is both a wife and a comrade-in-arms, who knows how to avoid court affairs and will give advice in a timely manner, and can lead the harmonious harem, so that the king who has been tired for a day can return to the harem and relax and relax.
Of course, for the emperor, although this "eldest grandson queen" is from a noble background, gentle and virtuous, it is best to have a simple family with a simple population, no outstanding fathers, brothers and uncles, and no worries about relatives.
I have to say that in addition to Mu Guiyi's bloodline, she is such an almost perfect candidate for the posterior.
Putting down Mu Guiyi and not mentioning it, Luo Shuangyu gestured to Liang Yu'an with his eyes, Liang Yu'an bowed slightly, and took out an envelope from his sleeve, Bai Suyan took it and unfolded it, but it was a few riddles and mysteries of the Six Mysteries.
The first is naturally the word on the shadow wall, as Mu Guiyi alludes to, the mystery is "Red Lady", the concubine of Emperor Rong of the former dynasty, and now Mrs. Ochre, Wu's Yingting, Wu Jiasheng was born to her, and she was also defeated by her.
Another name, Que'er, Bai Suyan was very unfamiliar, looked at Luo Shuangyu for an explanation, but he rarely showed a little embarrassment on his face, and cleared his throat, "Liang Yu'an, you can say it." β
Liang Yu'an said implicitly, "This person was originally a proud maid beside Mrs. Ochre, and because of her, the emperor met Mrs. Ochre." β
Bai Suyan lowered her eyes silently, in order to hide the strangeness in her eyes, if she remembered correctly, because of the alluring appearance of Mrs. Ochre, she was summoned into the palace by Emperor Yue Ming at the age of thirteen, and since then three thousand have been favored in one.
Therefore, the first emperor actually climbed over the wall like Zhang Sheng and met Cui Yingying at night, and it was still the high wall of the forbidden garden of the palace.
The third name, Bai Suyan is even more unfamiliar, Shun Ji, this is probably a title, but since she was sensible, she has entered the palace a lot of times, and among the former imperial concubines who visited her, she must have never had this person, isn't it the concubine next to other royal relatives and nobles?
This time, it was Liang Yu'an who explained, "This is the youngest daughter of the queen of the previous dynasty, named Lan Zhi, because of the civil strife in the palace at that time, she didn't have time to flee south, and was surrendered to the emperor by the ministers, and was awarded Shunji after her death, and was buried in the old mausoleum of Dayue." β
For a while, she was in a somewhat complicated mood, this Shun Ji should be her aunt now, and she was buried with the title of Shun Da Tan, what a humiliation for her and the Dayue royal family.
The youngest Emperor Da Yue was only nineteen years old when she died, and none of the Bai brothers and sisters were born, and they were already Emperor Tu Ji, so they would definitely strictly prohibit the government from talking about this poor sister.
Luo Shuangyu said: "This poem was written by Shun Ji. β
One sentence made Bai Suyan stunned, and it was not difficult to see from the words that this Shun Ji had a bitter hatred for Da Tan, and at the same time, she also hated those rebel vassals who offered her as a gift, and even more hated Emperor Tsunze, who trampled on her Dayue rivers and mountains and occupied Dayue Palace City.
After thinking about it, Bai Suyan said: "This Six Mystery Nunnery is the rebellious stronghold of Dayue? β
Luo Shuang shook her head and said: "Not really, I knew it back then...... Well, this past period will either die in that civil strife, or be grounded in the cold palace with Mrs. Ochre, and just like this magpie, she is concentrated in the Six Mystery Nunnery and becomes a monk, and her Dharma name is Huai Shi. β
Looking down is the origin of the Six Mystery Nunnery, the Six Mystery Nunnery was not the Six Mystery Nunnery originally, not to mention this strange cross pattern, but after a fire, there are believers who donated money to rebuild, and there is the current Six Mystery Nunnery, coupled with this random riddle, attracting countless visitors and pilgrims.
They ranged from nobles and ministers to ordinary people, and what they said and what they inadvertently revealed, not only others but also themselves did not know.
The temple is a place of tranquility and peace of mind in the hearts of most people, and many people are willing to bring words that cannot be confided in their hearts to others, and slowly say to the clay Buddha statue or the kind and benevolent monks.
In the face of clay statues and monks, people often have no scruples about what they say, as long as they stay there, they don't need to deliberately guide the clichΓ©s, and the speaker himself will talk endlessly and explain himself to the bottom of the day.
Using religion to collect information, Bai Suyan's first reaction was to think of the Dayue sacrifice, knowing the Mandate of Heaven, Dayue is a dynasty governed by both politics and religion, and the high priest knows that the position of the Mandate of Heaven in the hearts of the people is even higher and grander than the monarch.
Over time, it also made the Dayue royal family more and more afraid of the sacrificial line, and the undercurrent between each other was turbulent, and the later generations of Dayue monarchs were trying to weaken the power of the sacrifice.
"Only knowing the Mandate of Heaven can have such a means, the method he is most familiar with," Luo Shuangyu sighed, "It took two years to investigate this Six Mystery Nunnery, and knowing that the Mandate of Heaven was able to protect the royal family at the same time, and at the same time, it was also a mistake to not capture the Dayue Holy Sect first, and many old people have deep-rooted beliefs, and they still believe that their sacrifices can restore the glory of Dayue." β
Bai Suyan was silent, and said that his family has no quarrel with the world, how can he be alone in this complicated world, if you don't go to find trouble, you will come back to you if you are troublesome.
The Buddha loves sentient beings, and he will not have a position problem like a human being, and he must distinguish whether he is a great person or a great Yue person.
Liang Yu'an took out a piece of paper folded into a square from his sleeve, and unfolded it was a small portrait, the woman on the painting was estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with green silk tied behind her head, a pair of round and big eyes under her curved eyebrows, petal-like lips under Qiong's nose, the corners of the lips should not be bent, and the body was thin.
Bai Suyan felt familiar, thought about it, and asked uncertainly: "That double-sided Guanyin is carved in the appearance of Shun Ji?" β
"Yes," Luo Shuangyu nodded at the painted person's eyebrows, and when she looked up, she saw her face change, "What's wrong?" β
Bai Suyan remembered Mu Guiyi's sentence, 'I have no relationship with the Buddha, but I have a relationship with this Guanyin statue', what did she know? Or did she know it from start to finish?
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Suyan replied, "It's okay." But she couldn't help but be frightened by this thought, she had no way to hide in front of Mu Guiyi for more than a year, so she sat firmly in her position and watched herself perform hard with a cold eye.
Luo Shuangyu didn't continue to care, and changed the topic, "For more than a year, you have been by Mu Guiyi's side, do you think she is special?" β
Bai Suyan felt strange, in fact, in her heart, Mu Guiyi was full of peculiarities, which was really different from what she had in her past impression.
"Forget it," Luo Shuangyu shook her head, "Let's look at the next riddle." β
The second is only two words: six maca.
Bai Suyan's first reaction was a six-eared macaque, the true and false Monkey King of Journey to the West compromised, the six-eared macaque turned into the appearance of Sun Wukong, injured Tang Seng, and snatched the luggage package, and the gods couldn't tell the difference.
Mu Guiyi was born in the Six Mysteries, the real and false Monkey King, somehow, Mu Guiyi suddenly appeared in his mind and pointed at Xu Dangui's back with a fan, if he pointed out, 'This is the real pearl dust, not a fish and a pearl'.
At that time, I thought it was her secretly warning Zhao Zhao to be cautious in her words and deeds, but now when I recall it, I always feel that there is something in the words, and another scene appears in my mind, Mu Guiyi shook the fan, not caring very much, 'It's her, I thought she was just an orphan'.
"Xu Dangui is the real Mu Guiyi." blurted out without thinking.
Luo Shuangyu asked in a puzzled voice, "Who is Xu Dangui?" β
"Minister...... Didn't the concubine tell the king? Bai Suyan was a little confused, "The concubine accompanied Miss Mu to repay her vows, and met the mother and daughter of the Xu family, I heard that Miss Xu grew up in the nunnery since she was a child, if she changed the two babies from the beginning, she changed the ...... of the two babies."
