Chapter Thirty-Eight: Unfavored Concubines* The Mysterious Emperor 11
The father and daughter talked heart-to-heart for a while, and finally reluctantly parted.
When Zhao Yue was sitting by the window, Bi Qing came over with a copper basin, "Niangniang, are you homesick?" ”
Zhao Yue nodded silently.
"General, he will definitely let his mother go home and live for a while when he returns, and then you can catch up with the people at home."
At this time, although Zhao Yue was worried, he longed for some places outside the palace.
*
In a blink of an eye, it was time for King Jing to return to Beijing, and Xiao Jining and other ministers were together to open a banquet to welcome King Jing's return.
At this time, there was a team on the official road not far from Beijing, marching forward mightily.
In the center of the team is a luxurious soft sedan chair, the sedan chair is painted throughout, and the top of the sedan chair hangs with some beads and tassels, the specifications are not small, and the whole sedan chair is like a small moving palace.
The procession went all the way to Beijing, stopped at the palace gate, and after the report, entered the palace gate and continued to march.
No one dared to stop them along the way, and it was unimpeded.
When you enter the last gate, you can no longer ride in any soft sedan cars.
Someone was responsible for lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, and the person in the sedan chair slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
Dressed in a silver moire blue robe and white moire soft boots, he was a tall man with a graceful demeanor.
Temperament exudes from the inside out.
Wang Fu waited in front of the gate of this palace to greet him, it was noon, the sun was basking in the sun, and Wang Fu, who had been waiting for a long time, was already sweating on his forehead.
He quickly wiped it off with his sleeve and smiled on his face.
The man just glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and then walked forward independently, followed by many palace maids.
Wang Fu couldn't get in, so he could only follow the last step in the line.
As he walked to the main hall, the man stopped.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Wang Fu, who had followed him from afar, panted and ran to the front to ask.
The man sighed, and said with a not very good face: "Princess, this king is tired of traveling and driving, his body is weak, and he is a little unwell, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the emperor, you see this ......"
The man didn't finish the next words, but Wang Fu also knew what he meant in his heart, and he reached out again to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor said that I must see you, why don't you be patient for the time being, and when you see the emperor, you must ask the imperial doctor to show you as soon as possible, what do you think?"
"Presumptuous! Princess, do you take my prince in your eyes, the prince is not feeling well, if there is anything missing, can you bear it? The attendant beside the man rebuked sharply.
Wang Fu sweated more, and there were many difficulties in his heart.
The man said weakly: "White, shut up!" ”
Then he turned to Wang Fu and said: "The king's attendants are not sensible, don't take it to heart, as for the emperor's side, since you want to see it, then see it, and this king can endure and pass." ”
With that, the man stretched out his hand, and the attendant White Chess sensibly put his hand on his arm.
Wang Fu quietly sighed in his heart, and then hurriedly followed.
The people behind the man naturally couldn't follow them into the main hall, so Wang Fu was responsible for stopping these people at the door.
After entering the main hall, the man slowly walked to the front and Xiao Jining sat on the dragon chair, looking condescendingly through the black veil hanging from the hat.
"See the Emperor."
"Excuse me, give me a seat."
After the people sat down, Xiao Jining spoke again: "Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
After the words of greeting were spoken, Xiao Jining always felt so ethereal and cold.
As if not a greeting to a loved one, but to a stranger.
King Jing, who was called the emperor's brother, replied lightly: "Everything is fine, I don't know if the emperor is okay?" ”
His voice was as cold as a snake walking in the desert.
"Everything is fine with me, the imperial brother has not returned to Beijing for a long time, Kyoto has changed a lot, I wonder if the imperial brother has felt it?"
"The minister saw this great river and mountain, and the waves were magnificent, and the emperor's guidance was indispensable for this."
Even when he said such things, he didn't have any feelings.
King Jing sat there, holding the teacup casually, his hands trembling violently, and his face barely maintained his composure.
Xiao Jining couldn't help but look over.
"What's wrong with the royal brother?"
"It's just that the sword practice is too fierce on weekdays, and this hand is somewhat weak, and it's okay." King Jing explained lightly.
Xiao Jining just listened, and his eyes were always scrutinizing.
When he put down the teacup, it skewed to the side, and the tea flowed out and spilled on the ground, and King Jing's hand was still shaking.
"Brother Huang, are you alright?" Xiao Jining asked a little eagerly.
"It's okay, it's just that my hand is not steady."
Wang Fuli stepped forward to pick up the teacup, put it away, and then stepped aside and called a palace maid to ask her to serve another cup of tea.
However, in the end, King Jing still didn't drink the cup of tea.
Because just after Wang Fu had finished speaking, King Jing fell on the back of his chair.
His attendant Bai Qi anxiously supported the man and shouted loudly for the imperial doctor.
Soon after, the imperial physician came, helped the man to the apse to lie down, and began to diagnose.
Xiao Jining and Wang Fu stood on the edge of the bed and waited for the results.
After a while, the imperial doctor got up and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is a disease of physical weakness, coupled with the fatigue and fatigue of the journey, there is some wear and tear, and you need to recuperate for some time. ”
"Wang Fu, you go to the Tai Hospital to grab some tonic medicine and send it to King Jing."
After the others left, Xiao Ji quietly looked at King Jing lying on the bed, thoughtful.
Maybe this person has bad intentions, but his illness is real, and it can't be faked.
But we can't judge at will, there are too many things in this world that have multiple facets.
I haven't seen King Jing since I saw him that day, and I have been told that I am unwell and unfit to see people when I want to see him repeatedly.
Xiao Jining didn't see him several times, so he had to give up.
When he mentioned this matter when he was chatting with Wang Fu, he only felt that something was wrong.
"The last time you went to the Tai Hospital with the Imperial Doctor, what was the situation?"
"Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that King Jing is just weak, and there is no big problem, and he can take care of his body with tonics, and it doesn't take so long at all."
"That's why he deliberately avoided me."
"The slave wants to come, this King Jing has only returned to Beijing, and it is not good to go-for-tat with the emperor, so he wants to say that he is sick, so as to buy time and think of a way to deal with it."
Xiao Jining tapped lightly on the table, pondering.
"Oh yes, Concubine Xi has already returned to Chen's house, hasn't she?"
Wang Fu thought for a while and said, "Yes, Concubine Xi has been back for several days. ”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about her, it's okay to stay home for a while longer."
Wang Fu bowed his head.
*
Zhao Yue's side, when she returned home, she was like a fish in water, except for a little uncomfortable when she first arrived a few days ago, and her life after that was simply not too good.
The Chen family loves this daughter the most, and after hearing the news that she is going home, the whole house is ready together.
The house where she used to live was cleaned spotlessly, restored to its original furnishings, and let the dining room make some of her favorite dishes, which can be described as extremely careful.
Zhao Yue quickly adapted to these, and in his own home, he was very comfortable no matter what, much more comfortable than in the palace.
broke away from those rules and regulations, and Zhao Yue's whole person relaxed a lot.
Her mother, Xie Shi, took her hand very gently, reluctantly let go, and gave up again after several attempts to speak.
"Mother, what do you want to say? Just don't worry about it. ”
Xie Shi pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Xi'er, since you entered the palace, this house has been deserted, and it is difficult to see you on weekdays, I, who is a mother, have a painful heart......"
After Zhao Yue heard this, his heart also hurt, and he said that it is not easy for parents in this world, and any parent will send their daughter into the high wall, separated by a long time, as if they have become people from two worlds.
"Mother, I miss you so much, but I don't usually see you." Zhao Yue slowly leaned his head on Xie's shoulder to smell the cold fragrance that belonged to his mother.
The scent is so reassuring and relaxing.
Xie Shi raised his hand to stroke the top of her hair, and slowly recalled, "I still remember when you were a child, you also liked to lean on my shoulder and listen to me tell you stories, I told you one after another, but you still didn't fall asleep, and pulled me to tell you the next one." ”
"If I don't agree, you just lie in my arms and be coquettish, I have no choice but to continue talking."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm still pestering my mother to buy me osmanthus cake!"
"You ate too much sugar at that time, and your teeth were not good, so I didn't dare to give it to you." Xie nodded her forehead.
"Do you see if my teeth are white and shiny now?" After that, Zhao Yue bared his teeth and asked Xie Shi.
Xie couldn't help but glance at it, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's white and bright." ”
"It's still thanks to my mother's mother's control of my mouth."
A little maid came over and said, "Concubine Xi, madam, dinner is ready, let's go to dinner together."
Zhao Yue pulled Xie Shi up from the stool and went to dinner happily together.
The dinner in the evening was very rich, and Zhao Yue couldn't stop swallowing when she saw it.
Xie Shi knew what she was thinking when she saw it, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to eat.
The person sitting at the table is very simple, it is a great general, a Xie family, and Zhao Yue herself, and there is no need to be more restrained.
After shouting and moving the chopsticks, Zhao Yue began to search for everything, and almost every dish on the table was tasted by her.
When the general and Xie watched her eat, their eyes were full of spoiling, as if she was still the little girl who had never grown up, and she could be supremely favored.
Zhao Yue stopped eating and eating, always feeling that he didn't seem to be doing it well, so he turned to pick up some dishes and put them in his father's bowl.
They looked relieved and ate happily.
Although these are not Zhao Yue's biological parents, they are the parents of this character in this plane, and they have a common heart with each other and gradually merge into one.
When the lights of thousands of homes are bright, this small courtyard is exceptionally warm.
The next day, Zhao Yue planned to go out for a walk after breakfast.
Xie thought that she might not have been out of the palace for a long time, so he didn't detain her.
Zhao Yue, who went out, was like a happy pony, running around without stopping.
Zhao Yue walked around the stall here, ate in the small shop over there, in short, it was called a word "cool"!
Biqing was tired, she never knew that her mother's energy could be so good, at first she was worried about whether she would be able to bear it, but later she simply doubted whether she could afford it.
