Chapter 44
Ye Tingfeng looked at Emperor Jianning's ears, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "I don't believe us." ”
With the trajectory of the previous life there, Ye Tingfeng couldn't trust Emperor Jianning, and the slightest uncertainty could make her shake the relationship between the two.
"And what about after that?"
There was a hint of confusion in Ye Tingfeng's eyes, she only lived to be seventeen years old in her last life, and now she is twenty years old.
What would happen in the future, she had no idea......
"Mu'er, forget the previous things, let's start again." “
The prince cannot be abolished.
When he heard Feng mention the abolished prince at night, Emperor Jianning refused without thinking about it.
First, the Chinese military officials of the dynasty would not agree, second, the Xie family would not agree, and third, Emperor Jianning himself did not agree.
He had the heart to let the crown prince take over as the unification.
A sentence that can't be scrapped makes Ye Tingfeng's idea of spending a peaceful birthday in Guan Ju Palace shattered.
If the crown prince is not abolished, then he can only help him ascend to the throne.
On August 15 of the seventh year of Jianning, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet was held in the Minghua Hall in the Jianzhang Palace.
After listening to Feng as a country, he wants to attend.
Due to Emperor Jianning's request, in addition to the harem concubines, several ministers were also invited to the palace banquet.
The two generals, Prime Minister and Xie Lu, are all invited.
Half a month ago, the matter of the stubborn illness of the queen and the queen spread all over the government and the opposition, and the ministers of the court and the central government were abolished one after another. Emperor Jianning invited these four important figures among the courtiers to be present, in order to correct the name of Ye Tingfeng.
On the palace banquet, he looked like a fairy, and Ye Tingfeng, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, acted dignified and elegant, spoke decently and generously, and reflected the demeanor of the mother of the country between his gestures.
The only drawback is that Otsuki is not good at speaking, and can only speak a few simple words. During the banquet, the concubines talked and laughed, she just sat quietly beside Emperor Jianning, leaned forward slightly, and listened with a smile.
Someone invited her to raise a glass, and she took a sip with a smile on her face, very relaxed.
Xie Yuanxing had seen Mrs. Zhaoyue before, he looked at Ye Tingfeng who was dressed in a phoenix robe on the throne, and took the opportunity of Lu Boyun to pour him wine, and asked softly, "Bo Yun, look at the queen mother, does it look exactly the same as your concubine who has died of illness?" ”
In his words, there was no respect for the former Mrs. Zhaoyue.
Lu Boyun looked up at Ye Tingfeng on the main seat, and smiled at Xie Yuanxing, "Grandfather, my concubine is used to sticking a flower between her eyebrows, but the queen mother doesn't have it. The two of them do look exactly the same, but on closer inspection, they are slightly different. ”
Xie Yuanxing sighed, and after drinking a glass of wine, he squinted slightly at Ye Tingfeng, who was feeding the prince with his own hands on the main seat, and whispered, "It's very good to the prince, if Yu'er knows about the spring, she will also feel at ease." ”
Lu Boyun picked up the wine cup and touched Xie Yuanxing lightly, and it was all bitter after drinking it.
When Emperor Jianning Tongguo asked for marriage with Dashun, he had already decreed that Mrs. Zhaoyue was sick and died.
The four princesses in the Zhenyuan General's Mansion have no identity. She is no longer the princess of Dashun with golden branches and jade leaves, nor is she Mrs. Zhaoyue, who is deeply favored by Emperor Jianning, nor is she the person who Lu Boyun took painstaking efforts to take away from the palace.
So when the fourth princess wanted to leave, Lu Boyun agreed. He gave the fourth princess enough silver taels to live wherever she went.
Ye Tingfeng hugged the prince in his arms, held a piece of chicken and deboned it with silver chopsticks, and said with a smile after feeding the prince to eat, "Yu'er, are you full?" ”
The prince stretched out his hand to catch the sapphire tassel hanging down from the crown of the maple phoenix, and said in a milky voice, "Mother, this pendant is beautiful." ”
Ye Tingfeng raised her beautiful eyes and looked at a few concubines who were drinking and laughing with Emperor Jianning, and seeing that she hadn't noticed her here, she whispered in the prince's ear, "Yu'er likes it, and my mother will take it off for you when I go back." ”
The prince was happy when he heard this, and after letting go of the tassel, his fat little hand pointed to the table, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Mother, fish." ”
Zhiliu hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the prince's words, raised his hand and put a bowl of fish meat in front of Ye Tingfeng.
After Qing Xiuyi drank a glass of wine, she picked up the brocade and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the prince is really close to you, and they all call you mother." ”
Ye Tingfeng raised his head and smiled softly at Qing Xiuyi, did not reply, and held the prince's shoulder to watch Zhiliu pick the thorns of the fish.
Qing Xiuyi saw that Feng didn't answer at night, so she turned around and smiled at Liu Zhaorong, "The two princes of this palace are all called the mother concubine of this palace, and it sounds like they are three points less intimate than calling their mothers." ”
In the royal family, the princes and princesses all call their biological mothers concubines and queens their mothers. Like a prince, he called Feng Niang at night, and he had never heard it.
Not to mention the royal family, even the family outside the court is rare.
The word mother, although it seems close, is a little bit of the atmosphere of a poor family in the market.
After Liu Zhaorong sat and listened to Qing Xiuyi's words, he stroked his bulging lower abdomen and said with a smile, "When the imperial heir in the womb of this palace is born, this palace also wants him to let this palace mother, listen to it and rejoice in my heart." ”
Mrs. Miao lowered her eyes and smiled, held the wine cup and drank lightly, not participating in the conversation between the two.
When Mrs. Wen arranged the location of the palace banquet, she arranged her own position at the place of Emperor Jianning, afraid that the prince would cry when he saw her.
At this time, listening to a few concubines saying that the parenting scripture is not easy to interject, he held up the wine cup to salute Emperor Jianning, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the beautiful scenery of the good day, the concubines will give you a glass." ”
Emperor Jianning drank the wine with a smile, put down the wine cup and looked back at Ye Tingfeng.
Ye Tingfeng was caressing the prince's back, and the well-fed prince opened his ruddy mouth and gently burped twice.
Reaching out and gently pinching the prince's white and tender face twice, Ye Tingfeng turned around and whispered to Zhiliu, "Hold it down and play for a while." ”
Zhiliu nodded, and beckoned the grandmother and palace maid who were waiting for the prince on weekdays to come over and take the prince away.
When he turned around, he saw that Emperor Jianning was looking at himself, and he smiled and asked, "What does the emperor do when he looks at his concubines?" ”
"I want to invite the queen to have a drink." Emperor Jianning held the wine cup and smiled at Ye Tingfeng.
Listening to Feng holding the wine cup at night, he touched Emperor Jianning, "The concubine respects the emperor." ”
Mrs. Miao watched the emperor and queen drink all the wine one by one, raised her head and said with a smile, "The emperor and the queen drank together, but they forgot about us." If the concubines don't follow, the emperor and queen will have a drink with all the sisters. ”
Emperor Jianning and Ye Tingfeng looked at each other and smiled, and raised their glasses to drink with all the concubines.
Because the prince was sleepy, he retired from the banquet before the palace banquet ended.
After coaxing the prince to sleep in the side hall, he sat on the phoenix couch while drinking fish soup after listening to Feng taking a bath, and asked Zhiliu at the same time, "Yao Yuan asked you to go out, but what did you say?" ”
Zhiliu nodded and replied, "Queen Mother, it was a year ago that the crown prince went to live in Mrs. Wen's palace. At that time, Mrs. Ru had just died, and Mrs. Wen wanted to raise the prince under her knees. And Qing Xiuyi and Mrs. Miao have just given birth to the second prince and the third prince. At that time, the call for the former dynasty was very high, so ......"
"So the prince is afraid of Mrs. Wen, it's Mrs. Miao or Qing Xiuyi's hands and feet, right?" Ye Tingfeng burped lightly, raised his eyes and looked at Zhiliu Dao, "As long as the prince is gone, their emperor may be crowned the prince, and they are the natural queen, right?" ”
Zhiliu bowed his head and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"In this way, Mrs. Wen is innocent." There was a hint of haze in Ye Tingfeng's beautiful eyes, "But what are they doing, the prince will be afraid that Mrs. Wen will be afraid of being like that?" ”
"I don't know." Zhiliu shook his head, and suddenly said again, "By the way, Queen Mother, after the prince returned to the Qingxin Palace from Mrs. Wen, the emperor once ordered Qing Xiuyi to be grounded for two months. ”
Ye Tingfeng nodded, knowing who to ask from for this truth.
Emperor Jianning loved the prince very much, and the prince was inexplicably wronged by such a big grievance, and it was impossible for him not to know it, and it was impossible to ignore it.
After drinking all the warm fish soup in his stomach, Ye Tingfeng covered his stomach and burped, and he fell asleep.
Litmus came in from outside and listened to Feng Fu in the night, "Queen Mother, the prince wants to sleep with you." ”
"Then bring it in." Ye Tingfeng chuckled at litmus, "The night breeze is cold, give him more clothes, don't freeze." ”
Litmus nodded again and again, turned and went out.
Suddenly, the nurse came in with the prince wrapped in a cloak. The prince rubbed his eyes sleepily, and stretched out his hands to Ye Tingfeng, "Mother, hug." ”
Ye Tingfeng hurriedly caught it, and after holding the prince into his arms, he smiled softly, "Yu'er, do you want to sleep with your mother?" ”
The prince nodded, held the green silk that was still damp in the night with his little hand, sniffed it and said, "Mother's hair is fragrant." ”
got into Li Qingcao's arms and rubbed around, and said, "Mother's body is also fragrant." ”
Ye Tingfeng lowered his head and sniffed the prince's little hand, and said with a smile, "Yu'er is also fragrant." ”
Wen Qing took the prince's embroidered pillow from the little palace maid and put it on the phoenix couch, and after tidying it up, she said to Ye Tingfeng, "Queen Mother, it's not early, you and the prince can go to bed." ”
As he spoke, he took a fan and fanned a few fans in the phoenix couch, and put down the red silk tent, "The slave and maid are guarding outside, and the queen will call the slave and maid if she has something." ”
Listening to Feng's soft hum, he looked at the prince with a loving face, and said with a smile, "Yu'er, do you want to sleep by yourself or do you want your mother to sleep." ”
"I'm going to put my mother to sleep." The prince sat up from Ye Tingfeng's arms, and after letting Ye Tingfeng lie down, Tong Yan said, "I coax my mother to sleep, and I will sleep again when my mother is asleep." ”
Ye Tingfeng nodded, closed his beautiful eyes after lying down, and Prince Ren's little hand patted his shoulder, and the sweetness spread from the bottom of his heart to the tip of his tongue.
After a while, when the prince's little hand stopped clapping, Ye Tingfeng opened his eyes, and the prince was already lying on her side and asleep.
Hiccuping, Ye Tingfeng covered the prince's body with a thin brocade quilt, held the prince's chubby little hands and closed his eyes.
The fifteenth day of every month is the day when the emperor and the queen sleep together.
When Emperor Jianning came to Guanju Palace, what he saw was that he had heard that Feng and the prince had already hugged each other and slept with a sweet smile on the corner of their mouths.
He gently picked up Ye Tingfeng and sent it to the phoenix couch, lay on his side, and hugged Ye Tingfeng into his arms.
Smelling the wine, I turned back in the haze of the maple at night. When he saw Emperor Jianning's deep eyes, he subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Emperor Jianning lightly kissed the cherry lips of Tingfeng at night, and said with a drunken smile, "Today is the day to sleep with the queen, how dare I go against the ancestral system." ”
The crown prince heard someone speak, sat up from the bed, he looked at Emperor Jianning and Ye Tingfeng who were hugging each other, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Father, mother, what are you doing?" ”“
"On August 19 of the seventh year of Jianning, Wu Fengtian entered the palace and entered the Qingxin Palace.
Wu Fengtian and Emperor Jianning have not seen each other for three years, and it is a pleasant thing for friends to reunite, but the two of them sit in the inner hall of the Qingxin Hall and are silent.
Emperor Jianning knew that it was Wu Fengtian who brought Ye Tingfeng out of the big moon three years ago, and he also knew that Ye Tingfeng came back with his relatives this time, and Wu Fengtian rode a horse all the way to follow, and he also knew who Wu Fengtian belonged to in his heart.
After sitting for a long time, Emperor Jianning asked Wu Fengtian, who was sitting opposite him in a white-clothed coat with an indifferent expression and a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "When did it happen?" ”
Wu Fengtian's voice tightened slightly, looked at Emperor Jianning and sighed, and said, "It's been a long time, it's been a long time, I can't remember when." ”
Emperor Jianning clenched his right fist and lightly pounded the table table beside him, and his heart felt angry, grateful, guilty and other emotions for Wu Fengtian.
Wu Fengtian was not only his courtier, but also his only friend when he was young. He accompanied him through the most difficult years of his youth, and later helped him achieve this world.
He was angry that Wu Fengtian would like someone he shouldn't like. I am grateful that Wu Fengtian did not take advantage of the crisis between him and listening to Feng at night. Guilty Wu Fengtian helped him win the world, but he couldn't even afford a woman......
Seeing all kinds of complicated emotions flashing in Emperor Jianning's eyes, Wu Fengtian smiled and said, "Everything is my own problem, I can adjust myself." After a slight pause, Wu Fengtian raised his eyebrows and said, "She doesn't know, she hasn't known." ”
Emperor Jianning raised his head when he heard this, and was surprised that Wu Fengtian had not spoken for three years.
Wu Fengtian habitually picked up the folding fan on the side of his hand, looked at a plum bottle in the inner hall, and was silent for a moment, "I'm going to get married." ”
Emperor Jianning was slightly stunned, and then asked seriously, "Which young lady is it?" How is the character? Can you get hired? ”
Emperor Jianning used the princess to scare Wu Fengtian many times, but he never really thought of the idea of marrying Wu Fengtian to a certain princess as a concubine.
Not worthy.
It's not that Wu Fengtian is not worthy of the princesses, but that those princesses who have been pampered since childhood are not worthy of Wu Fengtian.
Now that Wu Fengtian is suddenly about to get married, the anger in Emperor Jianning's heart has been replaced by an ignorant emotion.
Unwilling, I want to stop it, but I am powerless.
"You know, and Mome knows." Wu Fengtian raised his lips and smiled, his slender eyes were full of indifference, "In two days, I will bring her into the palace to see you." ”
On the third day of the ninth month of the seventh year of Jianning, Ye Tingfeng saw Wu Fengtian and an old man in the Guanju Palace.
When she was dressed in a lotus flower palace costume and her hair was full of pearls and colored beads on her hair bun to give Ye Tingfeng a salute, Ye Tingfeng looked at her and stared at her for a while.
Caizhu is no longer the maidservant who waited for tea in the study of the Jin Palace, she was recognized as a righteous sister by Emperor Jianning, although she did not have the title of princess, her identity was much more noble than some family girls.
Wu Fengtian saw that Ye Tingfeng was confused in his eyes, and pointed to Caizhu and smiled gently at Ye Tingfeng, "Mo Mei, do you still know her." ”
The colored beads that bent their knees were also fluttering, and looking at Ye Tingfeng, who was wearing a golden phoenix skirt embroidered in flame, in front of him, asked in surprise, "Are you a dumb slave?" ”
In the blink of an eye, he saw Emperor Jianning sitting on the main seat drinking tea indifferently, Caizhu hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a disciplined manner, "Caizhu is arrogant." ”
The two words of color beads opened the understanding of listening to the dust of the maple at night.
Many years ago, the colored beads in front of her used to be on an errand with her in the study of the Jin Palace. Caizhu waits for tea, and listens to the maple waiting for pen and ink at night.
At that time, I listened to the maple pretending to be dumb at night, and the young colored beads were always talking non-stop.
once said that one day when she gets married, she will go over with the king of Jin, and let Ye Tingfeng be her maid and be an aunt in a room. Although she is a concubine, it is better than a small maid who has worked hard for a lifetime.
Ye Tingfeng smiled, got up from the throne and slowly walked to Caizhu, and after helping Caizhu up, he asked affectionately, "Hurry up, you don't have to be so polite with this palace." Caizhu, how have you been doing all these years? ”
Caizhu raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Tingfeng, and said with a slightly restrained expression, "If you go back to the queen's words, it's very good." ”
Seeing that Caizhu was cautious and didn't dare to speak, he listened to Feng look back at Emperor Jianning and said, "Caizhu doesn't dare to talk to me, you go out." ”
turned around, raised his head to Wu Fengtian, and said, "You go out too!" ”
Emperor Jianning put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and patted Wu Fengtian on the shoulder, and went out of the Guan Ju Hall together.
Caizhu was dumbfounded, looked at Ye Tingfeng and said weakly, "Queen Mother, you let the emperor go out......"
And the tone is so tough, and the attitude is so bad.
"If they don't go out, we won't be able to talk properly." Holding Caizhu's hand, he walked into the bamboo couch in the outer hall and sat down, and listened to the maple command to ask Qingzhiliu to put the tea cup again.
Caizhu looked even more restrained after sitting down next to Ye Tingfeng, until Wen Qing and Zhiliu came back with tea cups, she looked at Ye Tingfeng and asked, "You, can talk?" You're a princess......"
Ye listened to Feng Wan'er smiled, took the tea cup from Wen Qing's hand with his own hands, and handed it to the color beads.
Caizhu took the tea in a panic, nervous and didn't know what to do, a layer of fine sweat oozed from her forehead, and she completely lost the agility she had in the palace in her early years.
Ye Tingfeng took the tea from Zhiliu's hand, and after taking a bite, the old words were brought up again, "How have you been doing all these years?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, it's good, very good......" Caizhu nodded again, holding the tea with slender fingers, and her knuckles were slightly white.
After Emperor Jianning ascended the throne, Caizhu stayed in the palace of the original Jin Dynasty, like half a master. Emperor Jianning once proposed to give her a good family, but she refused.
Years of waiting allowed her to see the moon.
She knew that Wu Fengtian didn't marry her because he had affection for her, but she was already very satisfied with this result.
Because of the identity of the queen of the night listening to Feng, Caizhu was very nervous. Often she listens to Feng ask at night, she answers, and when she listens to Feng at night, she sits there with her head calm, looking at the tea cup in her hands and not speaking.
But with a cup of tea, the joy of the two at first sight disappeared, and the atmosphere became lifeless.
Taking advantage of the night to listen to Feng once again let Wen Qing have a tea cup to spare, Caizhu got up and said goodbye.
Ye listened to Feng nodded, and after rewarding two mutton fat jade bracelets, he ordered Zhiliu to take her out.
Soon after Caizhu went out, Wu Fengtian walked in with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face.
Seeing Ye Tingfeng staring at him suspiciously, he smiled and asked, "What are you doing with me like this?" ”
