Chapter Sixty-Seven: Face Saint
After a period of time, there was really a vacancy in the household department, and Liu Zihou was appointed as a teacher, and all the scholars congratulated him.
After a short time, a eunuch suddenly came to deliver the decree, saying that it was the Holy Lord's oracle, and Mrs. Xuan Guangling County would enter the palace tomorrow to meet her.
Nianyun was shocked, she had already received the holy decree twice, last time it was for marriage, and this time I didn't know what it was, so she was very worried, so she had to order Luluo to wait outside the Danfeng Gate, and when Li Chun went down to the court, he quickly asked him to inquire.
Finally waited for Li Chun to come back from the next court, Nian Yun hurriedly greeted him, but heard Li Chun smile and said: "Madame, don't be nervous, the saint just read a wonderful legend." ”
Nian Yun immediately understood that it must have been the saint who saw the "Biography of Princess Chu Xiao" and became curious, but unfortunately the author of that article used a pen name, and no one knew whose hand this legend with imposing language, gorgeous rhetoric, and beautiful plot twists and turns came from.
Li Chun said: "If you don't worry, you can let your mother accompany you, she has some friendship with the concubines and concubines in the palace, just say to visit them." ”
The prosperity of the palace is far better than that of the East Palace, you can see the eaves flying from afar, under the shade of the wind, swaying on the pavilions and pavilions of Penglai fairyland, you can imagine how the beautiful concubines in the pavilion comb the clouds and temples in the mirror, and look forward to the king's luck every day.
This is the first time Nian Yun has entered Daming Palace from Danfeng Gate, and there is a faint strangeness in his heart. The long and straight roads are paved with large pieces of white marble, and in the afternoon sun, the Xuanzheng Hall in the distance stands majestically.
The chamberlain led the way, and Nianyun followed behind Wang Liangdi, walking extremely smoothly and dignifiedly, such a majestic momentum forced her to dare not look around.
After the Hanyuan Palace, it was counted as entering the inner palace, and it was not far from the Xuanzheng Palace. Nian Yun slowly raised his head, there was a pavilion behind the Xuanzheng Palace, the light was dim, as if there were a few fireflies floating, roughly reflecting the outline of the pavilion.
Nian Yun suddenly froze.
The stacked cornices and vermilion columns are clearly the palace in the dream. By the way, she wanted to understand what the strangeness in Fang Cai's heart was, and it was clearly an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She never came, but it never seemed like she had left. This sensation made her suddenly feel the 36,000 pores on her body shrink at the same time, and every cold hair stood up nervously. Could it be that this is Taozhuo's so-called fate?
The sound of sparse footsteps echoed in the silent night, and the slight creaking of felt boots when stepping on the thin snow on the ground echoed in the ears from the white marble ground, and Nianyun's eyes were nervously wide open like cats.
She seemed to have a premonition that one day in the future, she would finally walk in again on a sunny day, covered with sunshine on her shoulders.
When she arrived outside the Xuanzheng Palace, she learned that the Holy One was still working in the Xuanzheng Palace, and they waited respectfully outside the hall until the inner supervisor of the steward came to call them in.
Wang Liangdi had no purpose, so she had to wait outside the palace.
Nian Yun lowered his head and walked into the main hall. The inner supervisor took off her cloak for her, received it, and led her to turn a corner and enter the side hall, which turned out to be the saint's office in the side hall.
When I entered the side hall and went into a smaller room, I saw a man in his fifties, with a half-foot-long white beard and a bright yellow casual dress, sitting on a couch.
There is a very large table in front of him, the folds on it are placed high, and there are a few books spread out in front of him, which seem to be tangled.
He slowly raised his eyes, and there was endless majesty and courage in his eyes, not angry and arrogant, Nianyun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Concubine Guangling County Lady knocks to see Your Majesty." ”
"Oh, oh, it's Guangling County...... It's Chun'er's daughter-in-law, by the way, it's me who announced that you're here, hurry up and give you a seat. ”
A little eunuch had already moved a soft futon up, and Nianyun said: "The concubine is still standing, the concubine has never entered the Xuanzheng Palace, so Liangdi came with the concubine, standing outside the palace at this time and waiting for the concubine, the concubine really can't bear to sit alone." ”
The saint was in a very good mood, but he didn't care about Wang Liangdi entering the palace by herself, but smiled: "Why bother working like this, let her come in and sit and talk." ”
Not long after, Wang Liangdi came in, "Liangdi Wang came to see the saint." ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down, and the saint picked up a roll of paper on the case, and smiled very kindly: "Have you read this "The Biography of Princess Chuxiao"? ”
If it is said that Princess Chuxiao is alluding to her, then Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in the text is naturally inseparable from the saint.
Nianyun said: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine has read it, that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty distinguishes right from wrong and sets things right, as long as he is right, it doesn't matter whether she is a Qinglou woman or an important minister of the court, so that the concubine admires it very much." ”
Thousands of clothes are not worn, and the emperor listened to it and said: "That's very true, I heard that Wenqing is also like the princess of Chuxiao, who always gives porridge at the city gate to help the victims?" ”
Although the Holy One is in a good mood at the moment, and there is some praise for it, this question needs to be answered very carefully. If she took the conversation directly, maybe the Holy Lord would think that it was the East Palace that was using her to buy people's hearts, which would be very disadvantageous.
Nian Yun hurriedly stood up and said, "It's all spread from outside, and it has all reached His Majesty's ears, and the concubine is terrified." ”
The saint smiled and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Nianyun said: "Back to Your Majesty, my brother, who was originally a concubine, happened to see some disaster victims outside, and because he wanted to share the worries of the saint, he raised some grain and rice. The concubine just did her best to take a look at it quietly once or twice, and she didn't know which one of the subordinates chewed her tongue indiscriminately, and asked Your Majesty not to blame the concubine for being young and ignorant. ”
This desire to cover up the most effective work, the emperor listened to it very much, and said: "The descendants of Ziyi Gong really all have the world in mind. ”
At this time, the saint asked again: "I heard that your brother really married a talented girl in Pingkangli?" ”
Nian Yun was in the air, and his heart said that he should have come and finally came, I am afraid that this is what the saint really wants to ask. The saint couldn't ask for Wei Taozhuo, and he had never seen her grow old little by little, so it was inevitable that he would have a little bit of a complex in his heart, and he might be looking for a replacement for Wei Taozhuo.
If her words are not replied well, so that the saint becomes interested in Xue Chu'er, wouldn't she repeat the mistakes of the past?
Nian Yun smiled and said, "It's a joke for the saint!" What a talented woman is not a talented woman, the concubine's brother is always in Pingkang, those women are eager to find someone to redeem themselves, and they all come to post! ”
Shengshang frowned, "Is that really the case?" ”
Nianyun said: "I don't dare to hide it from the emperor, that woman almost deceived her brother of a large sum of money, and tossed her brother to sell the shop, so that her mother was so tired that she was not allowed to live in the princess's mansion!" ”
Wei Taozhuo is the most holy goddess in his heart, naturally she doesn't eat fireworks in the world, how could she do anything for money? It can be seen that the strange woman mentioned in the legendary story is really impossible to find.
The woman who is intertwined with nobility and elegance and the dust of the market, that strange charm is the most unforgettable, and that love is in my heart and cannot be let go.
He suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the woman in front of him had a familiar shadow in her gestures.
"You look up."
Nianyun was startled, so he had to raise his head slightly, still hanging his eyelids respectfully. Even if you look up when you face the saint, you can't look at the emperor squarely.
This face is also the color of the country and the city, and it is indeed somewhat similar to Shengping, but it is not like Wei Taozhuo.
Calculating the age, Tao Zhuo should be over half a hundred years old. Why did I have the illusion for a moment just now, feeling that the person in front of me was talking to her?
When I first met "her", the person "she" was in love with Guo Xi, who was the third uncle of the Shengping Horse family. This woman is Shengping's daughter again, and there is always such a slight relationship, but it is unlikely to have a relationship.
Seeing that Shengshang's expression was very confused, Nian Yun hurriedly changed the topic: "My brother is still young now, and he has done some ridiculous things. However, Your Majesty can rest assured that the Lord of Deyang County and his brother have always been in love, and they will definitely be able to persuade him to relent. ”
The saint woke up like a dream, remembered what Fang was talking about, and thought of Li Changlai.
He has always loved this granddaughter very much, so he sighed: "I only love so many children the most in my life, but I have grown up in a blink of an eye, and Chun'er Chang'er has become a family!" I only have one source, but it's a pity that I can't always be by my side......"
Nian Yun knew that he was too cold from a high place, and the emperor was always lonely. She didn't know what to say, so she had to keep her head down and listen to what the saint said.
The saint looked at her deeply, and said: "What I want most in this life is that someone is single-minded, with children and grandchildren around his knees, but unfortunately they are not complete, and there are not many heirs under my knees." ”
Wang Liangdi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a proposal, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Speaking of this, the saint naturally said: "But it's okay to say." ”
Wang Liangdi said: "The concubine has many sisters in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness is still young, if the saint does not dislike it, it is better to take Yuan'er as his own son, and he can accompany His Majesty from time to time." ”
Seeing that the saint was silent, Wang Liangdi couldn't figure out what he meant, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is a female stream, and she doesn't know the major events in the world, but she just thought that she could share your Majesty's worries for a while, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame the concubine for being vulgar and vain." ”
His Majesty didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about this matter, and said for a long time: "I have discussed this matter with the Ministry of Rites before discussing it, so you should step back first." ”
Nian Yun didn't expect Wang Liangdi to make such a ridiculous proposal, but His Majesty actually listened to it, and even really planned to discuss it with the Ministry of Rites, which surprised Nian Yun.
After leaving the palace gate, the two of them got into the carriage with their own thoughts, and Nianyun couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty will really agree to Liangdi's proposal?" ”
Wang Liangdi sneered in a low voice: "The men of their Li family, there are many such generations in order, not to mention that the Empress of Heaven entered the Daming Palace as a talented person of Taizong, and the princess of Xuanzong took away the longevity as a concubine, which is myself, I used to be a talented person by the side of the first emperor, and you are also Chun'er's cousin." Since the saint can adopt King Shu, why can't he adopt Yuan'er? ”
Wang Liangdi has been by the prince's side for 20 years, and she couldn't imagine that she had such resentment in her heart. Nianyun was secretly frightened, but heard Wang Liangdi say: "I didn't say anything in front of Your Majesty just now, but is this?" ”
Nian Yun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Wang Liangdi has been by the prince's side for the longest time, and has given birth to the eldest son, and his qualifications are the deepest. But Yuan'er is growing up day by day, and in recent years, he has not only won the prince's attention, but also won the favor of the saint, and his talent and wisdom have followed Li Chun closely.
Yuan'er's biological mother died early, so Niu Zhaoxun and several other side-concubines and concubines who had no outgoing side concubines all kept an eye on Yuan'er, intending to emulate Concubine Wei Xian. If Wang Liangdi's move is successful, Yuan'er will no longer pose a threat to Li Chun. On the one hand, he is young and shallow, and he is insignificant in front of the prince and King Shu, on the other hand, he is a person from the East Palace after all, and he may be able to decompose the saint's favor to King Shu.
In the face of interests, Nianyun and Wang Liangdi are on the united front, because their treasures have to be bet on Chun.
Nian Yun said: "Yes." ”
