Chapter 121: The little girl has a lot on her mind
Yun Songzhen couldn't say anything about Yun Qingqing's sharp mouth at all, and finally left in a hurry.
Yun Qingqing raised her chin, and her little face was full of pride, "Hmph." ”
Jiang Wu chuckled and brought Yun Qingqing a cup of tea, "Don't take the words of the eldest princess too seriously, the third princess." ”
Yun Qingqing took the teacup, raised her head and drank the tea, "Hmph, this princess just ignores her, and if the big sister likes to talk about it, let her go." ”
Jiang Wu chuckled, "The third princess hasn't seen her for a year, and she seems to have calmed down a lot." ”
Yun Qingqing grinned, "I, it turned out that when I married Bi Tang, I was like ashes, and I didn't have any expectations for Bi Tang and the third prince, but ......"
"But what?"
"But after I arrived at Bitang, I realized that some things were different from what I thought, for example, him."
Yun Qingqing's eyes were shining at the moment.
"Although Tang Huai is physically weak, he ...... to me," Yun Qingqing said as she spoke, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Looking at Yun Qingqing's appearance and tone, Jiang Wu knew that the relationship between them should be good.
Originally, Yun Qingqing rejected harmony, but now it can be regarded as crooked.
Yun Qingqing returned to the dynasty and stayed in Chang'an City for some time, and Tang Huai accompanied her day and day, either in the Lin'an Palace, or on the streets.
After the spring banquet in spring, when it came to the marriage of the princesses and princes, Yun Songzhen was the head of the princesses, and she had never been allowed to marry anyone, so Chu Yin and Yun Feng discussed and chose a husband for Yun Songzhen.
The person is Zhang Quan, the son of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family's status in the court is not light, Zhang Quan's appearance is acceptable, although he is not the most outstanding, but the eldest son of the Zhang family, his status is noble, and he is married to Yun Song Zhen, but it is also a match.
Yun Qingqing and Tang Huai originally set a date to return to Bitang, but because of Yun Songzhen's family affairs, it was postponed for a few days, and it was only after Yun Songzhen got married that the two set off to return to Bitang.
The days passed like flowing water, and Yun Feng had been on the throne for nearly half a year.
Yun Feng ascended the throne, half of which adhered to the policies of the previous emperor during his reign, and half of which made his own new law, Da Liang was strong, and the surrounding countries of the new emperor also sent envoys to join him.
"Have you heard, Qing Zhao's envoys are about to come to our Daliang."
"Is it the weak Qing Zhao who can only rely on other countries?"
"It's that Qing Zhao, I heard that the envoy sent this time is a general of their country."
"It is said that Qingzhao is weak, even the people in their country are thin and small, and some men are not even as good as our women."
"Really?"
"Eh, Xiao Wu, do you say that the people of this Qingzhao Kingdom are really as thin and small as rumored, like bamboo chopsticks." Nanfu leaned over to Jiang Wu and asked.
Jiang Wu rolled his lips and shook his head with a smile, "I haven't seen it, I don't know." ”
Nanfu pursed her lips, "I'm curious about what they said, and I really want to see if it's really as rumored." ”
Jiang Wu smiled, "Let's go, don't you want to buy some things, it will be dark when you come back later." ”
Nanfu patted her head, took Jiang Wu's hand, and the two of them went out of the house.
The market was lively, and they occasionally heard the people talking about the Qingzhao people along the way to buy things.
"Great Commander, this Da Liang is really as rumored, rich and prosperous."
The man was dressed in ink, his facial features were handsome, but he was not smiling, he looked at the glory of the street, his eyes shimmered deeply, and he was full of emotions. The entourage around him reported to him about the meeting tomorrow.
Suddenly!
The man's eyes froze.
"What's wrong with the Grand Commander?"
The man looked at the figure in the crowd in front of him, his breath suddenly became heavy, and he immediately walked forward and pushed away the crowd.
"Grand Commander!"
But after the crowd dispersed, the figure was nowhere to be found.
Is that her?
It's her.
He wouldn't be mistaken.
"What's wrong with the Grand Commander? What happened? The attendant caught up with the man's steps, and saw the man's anxious face, as if he was looking for something.
The man looked around, but he didn't see the figure just now.
He sighed and closed his eyes, "It's nothing, let's go back to the inn." ”
The night is getting darker.
In the inn room, the man sat by the window, wiping the sword in his hand against the moonlight, and the figure of the day flashing by kept appearing in front of him.
He didn't believe he was wrong.
If it's really her......
Then she is still alive and well.
But where is she now?
The figure in front of him flickered, gradually reappearing in the past, and the two of them were laughing and chasing each other.
……
The envoys of Qingzhao State met Yunfeng and made peace with Da Liang with the sincerity of King Qingzhao.
Qing Zhao has always been weak and attached to Da Liang, and this time the new emperor of Da Liang ascended the throne, Qing Zhao did not dare to relax.
Coming out of the Chengming Palace, the man walked slowly on the palace road, "Great Commander, now that the matter has been negotiated, we can set off back to Qingzhao the day after tomorrow." ”
The man was silent, and then said slowly, "Stay two more days." ”
The people around him were stunned, "Why?" Does the Grand Commander still have something to do? What's the matter? ”
The man did not respond.
The time that was supposed to return to Qingzhao was delayed by the man for two days.
In the past two days, the man has been walking around Chang'an City, and he has tried to meet the people of that day cautiously, but he has gained nothing.
The man sighed, and the moment he raised his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the actions of the person in front of the vendor in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he stepped forward quickly.
"Huh." He grabbed the man's hand.
"Why are you going to let it go?"
The woman next to her turned around when she heard the sound and was surprised to see this scene.
"I should ask you, what are you doing, stealing someone's girl's money bag, it's really shameless."
Hearing this, He Baoqi subconsciously reached out and touched his money bag, and sure enough, the rope of the money bag was loose, "You, damn it, steal my money!" ”
The man twisted the man's hand, "Hand it over." ”
The man glanced at him, and in the next moment, his wrist suddenly became heavy, making him wail and cry out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts!! I'll deliver! Can't I hand it back! The man hurried and took out the stolen money.
The man shook the man away, "Get out." The man walked away in embarrassment.
"Give." The man handed over the money.
He Baoqi took the silver coin, his pink lips were shallow and curved, "Thank you, son, I don't know the name of Engongzun?" She asked.
There was no emotion on the man's face, "With a gesture, the girl doesn't need to worry." With that, he turned and left.
"Huh."
The man walked not far away, Jiang Wu walked out of the shop next to him, and when she saw many people around He Baoqi, she hurriedly came up and called softly: "Princess, what's wrong?" You okay? ”
He Baoqi shook his head, "It's okay, I met a thief who stole money just now." ”
"Thief?! Is the princess injured? Jiang Wu asked worriedly.
He Baoqi chuckled and shook his head, "No, I just met a kind boy who helped him catch the thief, and the money was also returned, but unfortunately, the boy refused to tell his name and left." ”
Jiang Wu followed He Baoqi's gaze and saw the back in the crowd.
She was slightly stunned.
"Let's go," He Baoqi retracted his gaze, turned his head and saw Jiang Wu stunned, "What's wrong Jiang Wu?" ”
Jiang Wu suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head, "No...... It's nothing. ”
But her eyes couldn't help but look that way.
That figure is so familiar.
The night was as thick as ink, and Yun Rongjue glanced at the little girl who had been distracted several times tonight, "I went out with Princess Shu in the afternoon." ”
"Ahh The little girl came back to her senses and responded.
"But what happened?" He asked.
Jiang Wu instinctively shook his head, "It's nothing." ”
"Really? My sister doesn't want to hide anything from the main hall. Yun Rongjue deliberately lowered his voice, but the danger in this tone was even deeper.
Jiang Wu looked at the man's slightly oppressive eyes, blinked lightly, and said slowly, "Really, it's just that the princess met the thief who stole the money, and there is nothing else." ”
Yun Rongjue's eyes were skeptical, but he didn't continue to ask.
This night, Jiang Wu was not sleepy.
The figure she saw today always unconsciously appeared in front of her eyes.
That figure is so familiar.
Like ......
Ten Yan.
She and Shi Yan grew up together since childhood, except for her mother and sister Yuyan, he is the person she knows best.
Today's figure is very similar to Shi Yan, and she even thought it was Shi Yan at one time.
But......
Will it?
Will it be Shiyan?
After Nan Jiang was destroyed, she became a prisoner and came to Da Liang, and Shi Yan has always been nowhere to be found, when Da Liang attacked Nan Jiang, Shi Yan was in front of the enemy and bravely killed the enemy, such a cruel territory, it is not easy to survive.
If Shi Yan is really alive, is he also in Da Liang?
Jiang Wu was in a state of confusion, "Brother Shiyan......" she murmured softly.
"I don't sleep at night, what are you doing sitting here?" Suddenly, there was a clear sound behind her, she subconsciously turned around, and saw the tall figure reflected in the afterglow of the moonlight, and she quickly stood up.
"Your Highness."
"What are you doing here?" The man muttered.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the slave can't sleep, so she gets up. ”
Yun Rongjue's eyes were slightly gloomy, she may not know herself, she doesn't hide her emotions, she has something on her mind, and the four words are all in her clear eyes.
He slowly approached, and she instinctively stepped back, "Your Highness, you ......"
"Hmm......"
Before she finished speaking, her pink lips cooled.
The man's shallow and dense kiss fell.
"The temple doesn't like little girls who lie." He whispered softly in her ear.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, "The slave didn't lie. ”
Yun Rongjue's slightly drooping eyes slowly raised, and she looked at the little girl in front of her through the afterglow of the moonlight.
After a long time, he slowly let go of her.
"That's it, go to bed early." He raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair.
He didn't ask any more.
The next day, he went to He Baoqi and asked about the trip between the two yesterday, and there was no difference between what He Baoqi said and what Jiang Wu said, and he couldn't find anything wrong.
However, it is certain that the little girl was preoccupied when she came back from outside.
And what exactly affected her mood so much, there is no way to know.
————
Spring is over, and summer is coming.
It was a sunny day, but in the middle of the great coolness, because the rain did not fall in the month, resulting in drought, and the people complained that the people were not able to make a living.
Yun Feng learned that he ordered an allocation for disaster relief.
"Your Majesty, at present, there is a drought in the central part of the country, and you need silver money and grain for disaster relief, but the money and grain are not rich, and the minister has an opinion, can the emperor postpone the matter of wantonly choosing a concubine."
The minister put forward this opinion, and Yun Fengben's calm face suddenly put away, "You mean, do you want me to choose a concubine?" ”
"Yes, I hope that the emperor will not choose a concubine this year, the cost of choosing a concubine is quite large, and after the concubine enters the palace, it is a large expense.
"Lord Wang's words are not right, this drought is important, but for the royal family to spread the leaves, extend the heirs, is also the foundation of the dynasty, the selection of concubines is this, the emperor has just ascended the throne, the harem concubines are not many, if you don't choose, won't you delay the continuation of the heir? This is unfilial. ”
"But now the drought is ......"
"Of course, the drought is reasonable, and the emperor has already allocated money and grain to go down for disaster relief, isn't this enough?"
"......"
"Lord Wang, do you want the emperor to spend his days and throw everything into this disaster relief? This is recklessness, or not! ”
The courtiers were at odds.
In the end, Yun Feng's decision was still to choose a concubine.
"Fifth brother, the emperor's choice of concubines is important, the choice of concubines is not in a hurry, and there is no such thing this year, and there will be another next year, but this drought relief is imminent, at this time, the emperor can't let go of the matter of choosing a concubine." Yun Huang couldn't help but say.
Yuan Jing sighed, "Yes, if this is known to the people, I don't know how to criticize it, but the emperor is unwilling to listen to persuasion, and others are helpless." ”
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that someone will be cocooned and bound himself, fifth brother, I heard that after he ascended the throne, he was decent at first, but then he became more and more self-conscious, and his behavior was violent, and an unhappy person lost his life."
Yun Rongjue listened to the discussion between Yun Huang and Yuan Jing, and was silent.
Yun Feng's various behaviors after ascending the throne are not the behaviors that an emperor should have.
"Fifth brother, are you going home?" The three of them walked to the gate of the palace and Yun Huang asked.
"There's something to do." After saying that, he got into the carriage.
Qin Xiangyou's home has always been clean and fragrant.
"I have heard a lot about the affairs of the court, and Jue'er has never said much in the court, and she has not given many thoughts and opinions on various things." Qin Xiangyou said.
Yun Rongjue drank tea leisurely, "Yes, now Jue'er is the emperor's younger brother and has the right to cooperate in the government, but the emperor has always been afraid of Jue'er, if Jue'er comes out again, I am afraid that it will be easier to make the emperor unhappy and cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Qin Xiangyou nodded with a smile, "Jue'er is smart, it should be like this, you are now in a high position, you have always been the holder of imperial power, and you will be very afraid of another person with high power, if you don't know how to rein in your edge, it will be you who will suffer." ”
"Yes, therefore, Jue'er does not express her opinion on many things, except for those who need Jue'er to handle political affairs, the rest of Jue'er will not ask more questions and interfere."
Qin Xiang bowed his head, drank the tea in the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "I heard that the emperor still insists on choosing a concubine?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang has raised objections to this, but the emperor has not listened to Lord Wang, and he still insists on choosing a concubine this year."
Qin Xiangyou smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I don't care about the people for my own likes and dislikes." ”
"This may not be a bad thing, the emperor's heir is also the foundation of the country, and it is an important thing." Yun Rongjue said leisurely.
Qin Xiangyou lifted his eyes and looked at Yun Rongjue, and the two looked at each other, knowing each other well.
……
The day of the draft is coming, and the show girls who are attached to the conditions are sent to the palace one by one, and it is a great luck for the Daliang women to become show girls, and everyone wants to fly on the branches and become a bird high above.
Correct.
On the day of the draft, there was a show girl who refused to enter the palace.
After verification, the show girl's name is Red Sleeves, and her identity does not meet the conditions for entering the palace, but Yun Feng likes it, and made an exception early to raise her identity so that she can enter the palace.
However, this girl is still reluctant to make a lot of noise at the gate of the palace, not only the courtiers know. Even the people in the market have rumors.
"Oh? Then did this show girl enter the palace later? Chu Yin listened to what Caitang said to her, peeling oranges with one hand.
"Entered, how could the person who the emperor liked let her go easily, and as soon as she entered the palace, the emperor gave a reward, sealed Hong Jieyu, and rewarded the palace to live alone."
Chu Yin raised her eyebrows, "It's really a great gift, this show girl enters the palace, even if it is a reward, there are generally many beauties and beauties, and those who are favored are at most Congronghua, she jumped to Jieyu this time, it seems that the emperor really likes her." ”
"Yes, but Niangniang, this is not in accordance with the rules, does Niangniang want to persuade the emperor?" Caitang asked.
Chu Yin's eyes rolled upward, "What do you do with this idle matter, the emperor is happy, so do whatever you want." ”
The red sleeves were sealed Jieyu, and Yun Feng rewarded the palace for her to live alone, this matter was boiling all over the palace, and the queen Bao Lulu was a hot temper, and she was very dissatisfied with this, and repeatedly looked for trouble with the red sleeves.
Red Sleeves swallowed his anger every time.
When Jiang Wu accompanied Yun Rongjue into the palace, once, he saw the queen severely reprimanding Red Sleeves, and Red Sleeves did not refute a word, accepting the queen's scolding and punishment.
"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? Yun Rongjue saw that the little girl's expression had changed and asked.
Jiang Wu told Yun Rongjue what he had just seen, Yun Rongjue's expression was slightly faint, and there was no obvious emotion, "Sister, this is poor Hong Jieyu?" ”
Jiang Wu nodded honestly, "She didn't want to enter the palace, she was forced to enter the palace, and she had to bear this." ”
Compared with Jiang Wu's melancholy and sentimentality, Yun Rongjue is much more indifferent, "Under the imperial power, she has no choice, it is her life." ”
Jiang Wu sighed and nodded, she knew all these truths, but she still couldn't help but feel emotional and sad.
This kind of fate is in the hands of others, and the feeling of helplessness is extremely uncomfortable, but there seems to be no other way than to be forced to accept it.
"Don't think about it so much, maybe...... She may or may not be able to be relieved soon. ”
"Huh? What does Your Highness mean? ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled and shook his head, "It's nothing, go home." ”
……
After the red sleeves entered the palace, they were loved by thousands of people, and everyone envied them, but Yun Feng's love for her was also an invisible knife.
Not long after the red sleeves entered the palace, she was pregnant.
Red Sleeves is pregnant, and she is also the first concubine in this harem to be pregnant with the emperor's heir, and Yun Feng is even more overjoyed.
Some people are happy, and some people are worried, and the queen is one of them.
The red sleeves are favored and pregnant, which is a threat to Bao Lulu.
Bang.
The sun was still shining, and in a blink of an eye, it was full of dark clouds, Jiang Wu hurriedly closed the window, and as soon as the window was closed, he heard the sound of crackling beans and heavy raindrops.
"It's raining so fast."
Yun Rongjue put down the scroll in his hand and walked to the little girl's side, "It's been holding back for so many days, and this rain should come." ”
