Chapter 60: Ambition
"Niangniang, slave and maid are brave, did you hear the words of Your Highness...... You have to be careful. At this time, a worried female voice came from the side, cautious.
Liu Hui packed up her thoughts, looked at her aunt who was in charge of the affairs with her, and raised her eyebrows: "What does Chi Chun mean is that it is not good for Huaiyang to let the palace guard against the East Palace as a permanent monarchy?" ”
The palace maid who called Chi Chun lowered her tone: "Niangniang, although His Royal Highness King Xian doesn't have that heart, and the East Palace also knows how to abide by etiquette, but the rules of the emperor's family, there are a few good brothers among the brothers." Now that the East Palace has such aspirations, Niangniang still has multiple hearts. ”
Liu Hui stretched out a finger, like persuading a child, and stroked Chi Chun's frowning brow.
"The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty will only be the East Palace. My family is Huaiyang, just be a happy and idle prince. If the East Palace is really suspicious in the future, my mother and I will move to other places, and there will be no nostalgia for Shengjing. ”
Chi Chun was puzzled: "Niangniang, the emperor's family, the word brother is written in blood, this is the fate embedded in their bones." But why didn't Niangniang pay attention to the East Palace from beginning to end? ”
"Beware? One is that Hongu really didn't want to guard against it. The second is. Liu Hui's eyes flashed with a fine light, "This kind of person, no one can guard against it." ”
Chi Chun's brows furrowed even tighter. She has served Liu Hui for several years, and she is used to seeing the black and white of the harem, but the most incomprehensible thing is that she is a successor, and she is not more defensive than her own children for the children of the Yuan Hou family.
"Chi Chun, do you know how the most terrible wolf is? Not the fastest runner on the prairie, nor the most hunted rabbits. Liu Hui smiled, "It's a wolf who drives himself to the precipice and cuts off the way out." Donggong is this wolf. ”
Liu Hui paused, looked at the red bronze door of the East Palace, and sighed with a faint sense of awe and emotion.
"This kind of person...... God and Buddha are unstoppable! ”
Punish the gods, punish the Buddha, punish the people, and level the mountains and seas.
……
Rewind a few years, one March.
The sunlight is sprinkled all over the right prime minister's house, and the eaves inlaid with gold are a few points brighter than the top of the Jinluan Palace.
Liu Hui got up early and asked Jia Chan for good morning first. Jia Chan was still grooming, so she stopped her and handed her the jade comb.
"Jiangnan daughter Qiao, why don't you want my sister to save green silk for me?" Jia Chan smiled, like a crow cloud and sideburns scattered casually on her shoulders, and her jade skin and snow muscles were wrapped in the hazy morning light.
She retired all her minions. So he combed it himself, pulled her hair, and the woman in the vicinity, Lan Xiang Fuyu drilled into the tip of her nose, and the red mark pressed out by the jade pillow last night still remained in the corner of her eyes.
Without powder, the spring sleepiness has not woken up, and a wisp of lazy romance is natural.
Her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't bear to break anything with her words.
"Sister, I heard that the eldest prince laughed a few times in front of the court, and you were reprimanded for being unstable and beaten the board...... Isn't it too heavy? Teenagers, can't be too harsh. My family Huaiyang unveils the tiles every day......"
"Sister thinks, don't I feel distressed as a mother?" Jia Chan interrupted, her tone unsteady, "After he took the board, I secretly hid and wiped my tears, and my back was clean, so that it wouldn't flow in front of him." ”
"Sister, why are you doing this? Is it true that you want to teach a 'saint'? She couldn't bear it, and she couldn't understand it.
"This child, the person he admires the most is his father, who has been determined since he was a child to inherit his father's ambition." Jia Chan sighed, "No, not only that, this kid is even more ambitious." ”
Jia Chan paused, and the corners of Fengyue's charming eyes were slightly red.
"You and I know your ambition. He wants to stop the chaos and rule the peace. It's these six words, it's already difficult. And what about that kid, these six words are not satisfied! He's going to do better than his father, better! Not only where to learn this strength, he wants to open a prosperous world, open a hundred years of prosperity! It's not just hard, it's hard! ”
Jia Chan took a breath, closed her eyes, and swallowed the sourness that surged to the tip of her nose: "This road, difficult, too difficult, thorns step by step, inch by inch of dark arrows, if you walk in the dark, no, it is a cliff to find a way, if you are not careful, you will plant a corpse without bones." ”
"So my sister's 'ruthlessness' is trying to teach the eldest son, the 'powerful' that no one can stop?" She took a deep breath and her face was complicated.
Jia Chan nodded, and opened her eyes again, her eyes were shining, and she had no regrets about life and death.
"No fault, no blame, you have to be invincible. The path he chose by himself, what I, a mother, can do, is to help him. ”
She looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, although there was a tear in the corner of her eye, but if the sword was unsheathed, the gentleness turned into a knife.
She smiled, her eyes down, slightly astringent.
"My sister can harden her mother's heart, teach the eldest prince to be a holy king, and the royal road is ruthless, this open-mindedness is even more admirable, and she can pretend to be the people, the family and the country, and the world."
"No, more than that." Jia Chan turned her head suddenly, and the two pairs of autumn eyes met each other, rippling out, "I can still pretend to be a person in my heart." ”
Her heartbeat seemed to stand still for a moment.
I saw Jia Chan looking at her deeply, laughing, and the galaxy splashed down.
"It's just one person."
So she had no regrets in her life, because she was trapped by one person, she drank and was willing.
……
"Niangniang, let's come to the East Palace again tomorrow. It's snowing heavily, and it's hard to go back. Chi Chun looked at the sky, and a voice came from the side.
Liu Hui nodded, shook off her thoughts, and left, and the colorful embroidered gold-inlaid finch gold fur disappeared in the snow in a blink of an eye.
If she is destined to be trapped in her cage for the rest of her life, then she will be a prisoner for the rest of her life.
Anyway, the lock had already followed her, to the dirt.
Later that day, the snow did fall heavily.
The weather is cold, people are tired, the palace people rest early, the north wind whistling in the night blows like a whimper, and the glass red wall is depressed and quiet.
Chi Chun, the aunt in charge who served the rest of the house, did not return to the slave's residence, but changed into an ordinary cloth shirt, took a token, walked through the night, and secretly went out of the palace.
She walked through the one hundred and eight squares, stepping out of a string of snow nests, and the streets on winter nights were so inaccessible that even the big yellow dog didn't bother to bark.
Half an hour later, she stopped somewhere on the outskirts of Beijing, it was an abandoned garden, and the collapsed carved beams and paintings could still see the grand scene of the year, the grass and trees, and the winding water.
And a man in black, sitting on the rotten wood that had been burned out, was rubbing his hands in cold red, waiting for her for a long time.
Chi Chun stopped, first confirmed something suspiciously, and then exhaled a wisp of white air: "Yushi...... My lord? ”
"Have you ever seen a stubble of sloppy imperial history?" The man wiped his chin and laughed, "Shouldn't I be slapping myself so as not to ruin the image in your heart?" ”
Chi Chun breathed a sigh of relief. can say this kind of thing, it is the old man in scarlet clothes and silver bows back then.
"That'...... Xue Gaoyan, Xue Brother. Chi Chungang wanted to grin, but the astringency on the tip of his nose surged to his eyes again, "You...... Coming back? ”
After a pause, Chi Chun seemed to think of something again, and looked around vigilantly: "I received your letter and sneaked out to see you." But you...... Hey, you shouldn't enter Beijing with your identity, it's too dangerous! ”
"It's hard to see the old man, and the king of heaven has to open the way!" Xue Gaoyan smiled and showed a circle of big white teeth, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiaochunmei seems to be ...... Old? ”
Chi Chungang's smile immediately turned into a black face: "Brother Xue still doesn't accumulate virtue in his mouth!" If my brother is still here, I will definitely find you to fight and be angry for me! ”
Then both fell silent.
I was caught off guard and poked at the sore spot, and the snowy night was too cold, so cold that people's hearts and intestines were about to break.
After a long time, Xue Gaoyan smiled in a trance: "Yes, if Wei Chiji is still here, I will definitely lose a meal...... Drink? Wei Chichun. ”
A wine gourd was thrown over.
