Chapter 63: A Beautiful Day
Since ancient times, it has been customary for emperors to be suspicious, and Emperor Yuan He is naturally no exception. He has always been indulgent to King Jian, but in addition to his love for Concubine Lan, there are also reasons for supporting and suppressing the crown prince.
Although the country cannot be without a prince, if the position of the prince is too stable, it will inevitably make the reigning king feel that the dragon chair under his ass is not very stable.
Concubine Lan is a scheming woman, she saw clearly the indescribable thoughts of Emperor Yuan He, and took the opportunity to provoke the emperor and queen everywhere, so as to make herself and King Jian gain a firm foothold and suppress the prince. Queen Tong has gradually come back to her senses in the past two years and has begun to know how to hide her edge.
However, no matter how clever Concubine Lan is, she can't get rid of the suspicion in Emperor Yuanhe's heart. After all, Ji Sihong's move was really bold, and he dared to collect taxes privately by taking charge of the household department. This is not ordinary corruption and bribery, and it is a great rebellion to say it at worst!
After touching a soft nail in the Deshang Hall again, Concubine Lan finally found it difficult to maintain her composure on her face. Her steps became more and more urgent, and finally she angrily shook off Aunt Guizhi's hand. Aunt Gui Zhi waved away the group of palace people who followed behind her, and when she saw that everyone else was far away, she spoke: "Why is Niang Niang so angry, it is not worth it to be angry." ”
Concubine Lan's eyes were cold, and she snorted: "It's not all a mess caused by my good emperor, this time the emperor is really angry, and I don't know how to end it." ”
Aunt Guizhi's face was as usual, and she persuaded: "Niangniang doesn't need to be so worried, although there is a witness to identify the prince, but that person is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and his words are not counted." ”
Lan Guifei's voice became more and more gloomy, and she said, "If it's really just a one-sided statement, I'm afraid it's the East Window incident." So far, he hasn't come to the palace to cry to me, and it's true nine times out of ten. This idiot, he did things as soon as he did them, but he couldn't even do the aftermath, and now the city is full of trouble. ”
She squinted her eyes as if she was thinking about something. Aunt Guizhi understood, and also said: "Niangniang also thinks that this fire is burning too fast and too fiercely, like someone is fanning the flames behind her back?" ”
Lan Guifei's face gradually became solemn, "In this way, the crown prince should be indispensable." Since it was him who made the shot, it must not be just like this, I am afraid that he still has the hole cards in his hand, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to be good. ”
She turned her head sideways and said coldly: "Is there any news from the Jianwang Mansion?" ”
Aunt Guizhi shook her head and said, "Not yet, I'm afraid I'm busy and anxious." It's just that the prince's actions are a bit big, and the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid it's going to be bad. ”
Lan Guifei shook her head in disappointment and said, "This child was raised by me since I was a child, and I didn't even learn half of my calm scheming, it's really ......."
Aunt Guizhi looked cautiously left and right, as if she was afraid of being heard. Lan Guifei was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice anything wrong, and asked, "Now, seeing that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, what can you do?" ”
Aunt Gui Zhi stepped forward and whispered: "This matter can't be delayed, it's best to cut the mess quickly, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for us." ”
Concubine Lan frowned and hesitated: "But now it's too conspicuous, and it will inevitably make the emperor suspicious." ”
Aunt Gui Zhi insisted: "The emperor is only suspicious now, if it really drags on the prince to come up with tangible evidence, it will be a certainty." As long as the most critical person certificate is gone, there is no evidence for this matter, and no matter how suspicious the emperor is, he is only suspicious. After a long time, I am not afraid that the emperor will not miss the old relationship with his mother. ”
Lan Guifei pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "You are right, as long as there is no proof of death, there is still room for everything to turn around." This time, the prince is also anxious, and it is too obvious, which can be used......"
The turbulent waves of the struggle for imperial power have not affected Bai Yanran, and she is not Princess An now, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about it.
On this day, the sky was very good, the wind was beautiful, and the carriage of the Bai family swayed and carried the lady and young lady to the Niangniang Temple outside the city. Along the way, although the Qi family forced a smile, it was difficult to hide the worry in her eyes, Bai Yanran knew what she was thinking, and deliberately asked: "My mother is worried all day long, but she is reluctant to marry her daughter?" ”
Qi Shi took his daughter's hand and said with a reluctant smile: "It's not easy to raise you from an infant baby to being so slim now, I am naturally reluctant in my heart, but how can my daughter's family not marry when she reaches her age, and it is too late for you to have such a good family and your mother to be happy for you." ”
Bai Yanran took advantage of the situation and leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said softly: "The good and bad life is lived by yourself, mother, don't worry, no matter where she stands, her daughter will never wronged herself." ”
Qi patted the back of her hand, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "Having said that, then Wang An is not a peaceful person. Now there are rumors in the capital again, saying that the queen thinks that you and King An are compatible with the eight characters that let the emperor give her a marriage, and I don't know what King An has in mind. ”
Bai Yanran comforted her and said: "No matter what he has in his heart, it doesn't matter, if he really doesn't want to marry me, he simply regrets marrying me, and I am pure." If he can't help but marry me, then I will be Princess An who is marrying Ming Media, and life will not be bad. ”
Qi also knew that he was just worrying about the sky and useless, so he had to say: "Alas, this is really a blessing and a curse. I just hope that I can ask for a good sign when I go to Niangniang Temple today, and bless you to marry smoothly, if King An really wants to regret his marriage......"
She couldn't go on with the rest of the words, but Bai Yanran naturally understood in her heart. Having said that, if Ji Lingyun really resisted and repented of her marriage and didn't want to marry her, then no matter what the reason, she would become a laughing stock, and it would be impossible for her to have any better marriage.
However, Bai Yanran didn't think that Ji Lingyun would resist the will and regret marriage, in his previous life for three years, Bai Yanran felt that he knew a thing or two about him.
Although Ji Lingyun said that he did not want to be bound by marriage, he also understood that it was impossible not to marry in his life, and after being persuaded by the queen several times in his previous life, he still married Gu Yueyao even if he did not want to. With the previous turmoil in this life, whether it is for the sake of the future or simply for gratitude, Ji Lingyun is unlikely to embarrass himself.
The mother and daughter have their own hearts, but they don't feel that the road is long. By the time we arrived at the Niangniang Temple, the coolness of the morning had dissipated, and the heat slowly rose. Fortunately, the Niangniang Temple is built at the foot of the mountain, which is much cooler than the city.
It is not a year or a festival, although the incense in the Niangniang temple is continuous, but there are not many people. The mother and daughter worshiped sincerely in front of the main hall, and they didn't know what incense was offered in front of the Buddha, which was very quiet and smelly, which made people feel refreshed and happy. After paying homage, the Qi family looked at the bucket in Bai Yanran's hand with expectation.
Bai Yanran sighed in her heart, she didn't scoff at this. After all, she was a reborn person, and she was more convinced by the words of ghosts and gods, but she just thought about how karma could all rely on a signature, so she just wanted her mother to ask for peace of mind.
Before the heart and mind were finished, he heard a "snap" sound and a signature had fallen out of the bucket, Qi picked it up from the ground excitedly, took it in his hand and went to the master to solve the sign with the little novice who was waiting on the side.
There are not many pilgrims today, and with Qi's temperament, he will definitely pester the master for a long time. Bai Yanran was feeling bored, so she saw the little novice who walked by before holding a tray in his hand, and the tray was spread with white flowers in full bloom.
Before Bai Yanran could speak, Su Xin had already stopped the little novice and asked, "Dare to ask this little master, I don't know what kind of flower you have in your hand?" The floral fragrance is very good. ”
The little novice didn't feel abrupt, and replied politely: "This is a falling flower from the hibiscus flower forest in the back mountain, and the little monk feels that it is a pity to wither, so he thinks that the fragrance of flowers is offered in the front hall, which can be regarded as popularizing all beings." It is not easy for flowers to bloom, if the donor has the heart, you can go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. ”
Su Xin said excitedly: "Miss, let's go, let's go, I'll also pick up some wood hibiscus flowers and send them to make hibiscus flower cakes for Miss Cousin, it will be delicious!" ”
Bai Yanran nodded at the little girl's forehead and smiled: "Your greedy temperament is exactly the same as your cousin, if you go to wait for your cousin, you will definitely be able to have a round belly every day." ”
The little girl smiled and kept Bai Yanran's arm, "The slave is loyal to the young lady and wants to accompany the young lady for a lifetime." ”
Bai Yanran quipped: "Do you want to rely on this little slippery head for the rest of your life?" In two years' time, I will send you out to your family. ”
The master and servant laughed and walked to the back garden, and really saw a sea of pure white flowers. The flower tree is just as high as the person, and the wood hibiscus flower swaying in the wind can be touched by reaching out, and the two of them forgot to speak for a moment in the beautiful scenery.
In fact, in the previous life, Bai Yanran had seen the sea of wood hibiscus flowers in Niangniang Temple, at that time, the painting had just entered the palace, and the wood hibiscus flowers were blooming just right, Ji Lingyun had also mobilized the crowd to enjoy the flowers in order to please the picturesque, and by the way, he also brought his own pet with him.
You still remember that Ji Lingyun wanted to make peace with the sound of the flute, and the dance in the sea of flowers was amazing, which made Ji Lingyun applaud. It's a pity that Shu Yue is a music girl and is not good at dancing, so she had to bite a mouthful of silver teeth on the side and go to the side to sulk. Later, she pushed and injured her ankle when she pretended to be picturesque, and Shu Yue had to be speechless.
Such a woman who can even be so ruthless to herself is really not to be underestimated, and Bai Yanran was still able to watch from the wall in her previous life. Time has changed, it is best to prevent this woman from entering the mansion in this life, she has not forgotten that the bowl of poisonous soup in the last picture is aimed at Ji Lingyun, this person is definitely not a good person.
Just thinking about it, a familiar flute sound suddenly sounded in her ears, Bai Yanran turned her head to look, and saw Ji Lingyun walking towards her with a flute in hand. There is a smile in his eyes, and his eyes are as bright as stars.
In an instant, it seemed that the stars were changing, the past life and the present life converged, he was still the unbridled and dashing young man, and he finally changed from the cat in his arms to the person in front of him.
"Such a beautiful day can't be disappointed, how about Yan'er dance to help the fun?"
