Chapter 165
"Do you remember my cousin, he once said that I should be a phoenix in the phoenix. Now I want my father to be the emperor, do you think it's feasible? I turned my head to those obsessive eyes and said innocently.
"Chu Chu..."Fu Qing seemed to have lost his words, still muttering my name.
"Can't I please a princess?" I asked, and then shook my head again, "Yes, how can a princess have the dignity of the crown princess, how can she have the dignity of the queen in the future?" ”
The figure in front of me suddenly woke up, looked at me in shock, and then reached out to pull me into his arms again
I dodged and dodged.
"Cousin, isn't that what you want now?"
"Pond encounter, the emperor's holy decree, isn't it in your plan?"
"Cousin, don't make this pastry in the future, I've been sick for so many years, and now it's the same whether I eat it or not"
"Or cousin, you already knew you didn't need to poison it."
"Chu Chu... You'll always be so smart," Fu Qing's face turned pale, and then smiled bitterly.
In life, who doesn't want to live a confused life
"Cousin, let's go, now we have an identity separation" I looked at him with a smile, "Aren't you at ease?" And Chunju is watching me for you."
My heart felt a continuous pain, as if I had been pricked by needles countless times and then trampled on one after another.
The person in front of him became hazy.
"Don't cry," Fu Qing stretched out his hand and wiped away tears for me in a panic.
Am I crying? I don't even know it myself.
I turned my back and sorted out my expression, and then Fu Qing raised a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Cousin, let's go, and I will pay your tenderness to another person in the future"
I shattered the empty past between the two of us.
From now on, I will not be your little childhood sweetheart.
From then on, there will never be a legend of ours among the people.
After paying off, he ran away.
The weather is getting cooler, and my body is getting colder. I used to be able to go to the garden pond in the house occasionally, but now it's hard to get up.
This year's winter was earlier than usual.
Or, it's just that winter is early for me.
When I got up today, I looked at the sun outside, and suddenly I was interested and wanted to go to the garden.
So Chunju took me by the arm and walked towards the garden. Xu is my face was very ugly, and from time to time I felt the worried gaze of the girl next to me, "Miss... The young master may have a hard time."
I buried my head in my fluff coat so I could feel some of the warmth.
Difficulties? What is Bitterness? Ambition or calculation?
"Miss, slow down" Chunju saw a fist-sized stone in front of her, and helped me step over, "Come on, remove this stone"
Seeing the girl's nervous appearance, I couldn't help but laugh, "When did I become so delicate?" ”
"Miss, you finally smiled, the slave has been worried about the past two days" Chunju couldn't help but smile, seeing that I was in a slightly better mood, she began to move her mouth again.
"Miss, now the prince is gaining grace, and it is rumored that this prince is a generation of Tianjiao, whether it is appearance or talent, he is the dragon and phoenix among people."
"It is said that these two princes committed adultery with nobles who were not very favored in the palace, originally this matter was big and small, but the emperor was furious and removed his crown prince, clearly to deliberately support the four princes"
Isn't it, the fourth prince has now ascended to the throne of the crown prince.
"In my opinion, Miss is also blessed to be the crown princess," Chunju said again.
Before I knew it, I was walking to the garden, and I sat down on the collapse of the garden, sighing slightly.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Chunju, this girl, after all, brought me news from the outside world, is this the girl's conscience or the instigation of the person behind it.
I slowly lay down, thinking about these messes, the sunshine made my body feel a rare warmth, and unconsciously closed my eyes.
It's this dream again, and it's hazy again
In the haze, the man called "Chu Chu... Chu Chu"
I thought about it and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man's voice also became blurred, "Chu Chu, you actually forgot about me!" Do you have a heart? How have you ever had a heart?"
My face turned pale, and I shouted in a panic, "I'm Gu Chuchu!" I'm not Chuchu! ”
The man suddenly vanished, and I ran around trying to find his traces, but to no avail.
Eventually, I crouched down and hugged my knees, trying to feel my heartbeat, only to find that my chest was cold.
"Ahh I shouted in despair.
In the midst of my struggle, I opened my eyes.
A pair of black eyes came into view, and there was undisguised interest in the eyes.
I quickly got up and prepared to salute, but my body was no longer able to exert any strength.
"Now that she is the crown princess, she doesn't have to perform these rituals in private with the palace," a cold voice sounded.
I was a little surprised, on the one hand, I really didn't have the strength, and on the other hand, it seemed hypocritical to deliberately shirk at this time.
So I nodded lightly and called out "Prince" to the person in front of me with a smile
"Hmph." Zhao Cheng said goodbye, "Miss Gu, who is alluring the country and the city, is nothing more than that." The world only says that Miss Gu is like a white lotus, and she can be trapped in a nightmare when she sleeps today. ”
I thought that Leng Bing didn't look like a lord who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, but I didn't expect it to be a poisonous tongue.
I raised my head and smiled, "Thanks to the prince's concern, Chu Chu is just a nightmare"
Hearing the word "Chu Chu", the bottomless eyes in front of him were flooded.
I looked at Zhao Cheng with a smile, and Zhao Cheng stared at me coldly.
After a quarter of an hour, when my tired smile was about to break, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally opened his noble mouth, "Do you still have the strength to walk back?" ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at my trembling legs, and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”
Zhao Cheng was silent, and finally squatted in front of me with his back to me.
I don't understand, is this to practice in the garden, I heard that the prince has been smart and martial arts since he was a child, but I didn't expect to be so diligent.
I was hesitating to clap my hands in encouragement when an impatient voice in front of me rang out "Come up"
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wrapped my arms around the neck of the person in front of me.
Zhao Cheng carried me to the outside of the garden, his steps were very steady, and he unconsciously made people feel at ease.
I leaned on his back, smelling the unique smell of sandalwood and a little drowsy.
"Chu Chu" suddenly sounded a gentle voice, and I subconsciously said "En", but I didn't get a reply.
I was amazed that the magic of this name was so great that it made this person very gentle.
On the road, there were maids chattering, glancing at me and Zhao Cheng, as if they were discussing something. was swept away by Zhao Cheng's eyes, and he was so frightened that he scattered like a bird and a beast.
I lay on my wide back, chuckled, felt a shock to my body, and finally said nothing, and carried me to the boudoir without saying a word.
Back in the room, Zhao Cheng threw me on the bed, and my aching porcelain teeth grinned, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't know what pity is for fragrant jade?" ”
"If it's a man, you know it, but in my eyes, you are neither 'incense' nor 'jade'" The man coldly threw down this sentence and turned away.
I really don't want to do enough tricks.
I pursed my lips and turned my eyes to look at the dark back, and my thoughts began to drift away.
It stands to reason that since Zhao Cheng has ascended to the throne of the crown prince, he should wear a yellow robe to show his noble status, but what is going on with this black day.
Could it be that there is something hidden? What's the secret... I couldn't think of a reason, so I simply buried my head in the heavy quilt and slept.
The next day, Zhao Cheng sent someone to send a box of thousand-year-old ginseng and a box of night pearls. The little guy who came said that this thousand-year-old ginseng is a great tonic and has the effect of warding off the cold, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spent a lot of money to buy it and send it when he knew about it.
And that box of night pearls has even more origins. Ordinary night pearls are already rare, and this box of night pearls can not only shine at night, but also emit heat in normal times. The name says: Ward off the cold for me.
It is said that the prince spent several months in the people to collect this box of night pearls, and then the prince even lost two pounds because of this incident.
These two boxes of things were very publicized on the way from the prince's mansion, for fear that others would not know that they were treasures for the crown princess, and there was a lot of uproar in Pingcheng.
Since then, the women of Pingcheng, young and old, have been jealous and hateful of this rumored princess, just because there was a childhood sweetheart to pay off a good story, and then there was a beautiful prince who threw a thousand gold and smiled.
Even the hens in Heijo would blush when they saw the crown princess.
I looked at the pile of treasures in front of me, and remembered the rumors I heard, and I couldn't help but laugh.
It would be nice if it was really a good story. Time is going faster and faster, and the so-called white horse passes through the gap.
Before I knew it, there was only one month left in the wedding period, and even though I had made countless mental preparations, I still couldn't stop panicking.
On the day of the winter solstice, I opened my eyes and was about to pick up the dragon well that Chunju had just soaked, when suddenly there was a fishy throat and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the bed.
Seeing this, Chunju immediately lost her sense of proportion.
hurriedly ran to find Master Gu for help.
When my father heard the news, he immediately came, and even though he was middle-aged, he was still walking like a fly.
I can't help but feel a little relieved.
"My son, you wait a little longer, I will send someone to invite the Master of Clearance to come over" My father held my hand anxiously, a little out of breath.
In the end, he is middle-aged, and even if he walks like flying, he is not as good as he was back then.
I shook those hands back and said, "Daddy, don't panic"
As for why I vomited blood and didn't go to the doctor, I rushed to the temple in the suburbs to find the Master of Pure Space, since ordinary doctors could not diagnose it, only the prescription prescribed by the Master of Pure Space could slightly alleviate my symptoms.
I felt like I was seven years old again.
In the cold winter of that year, I suddenly had a serious illness, and all the doctors were helpless.
After seven days and seven nights of sleep, the Master of Clearance, who was on a tour, took the initiative to come to the door and asked for a diagnosis for me.
"Miss, this is no ordinary wind chill"
"From now on, Miss's health will become very poor and very cold."
"Not only that, but the young lady will definitely die before the age of twenty."
At that time, when my father heard this, he almost asked someone to drag this master of the clear space down to death, but the prescription prescribed by the clear space worked and pulled me back from the ghost gate, so I gave up.
Reluctantly, he was rewarded with a large sum of money, and then put the clear space back to the temple.
That night, under the influence of drugs, I woke up.
It was also that night that my father's green hair faded into a piece of silver.
"Master, the Master of Clearance has arrived"
My mind was pulled back.
Looking at the people in front of me, I can't help but sigh that the past ten years have passed too quickly.
The person who came was still the same, with a fat body, a smooth head and a kind face.
Jingkong saluted my father and then took my pulse.
"Prime Minister. Miss is fine. It's just that winter is coming, and Miss is the weakest at this time, and she needs to be slowly adjusted."
Fu paused again, "Besides, it's getting closer and closer to the twenty-year-old of Miss..."
"Ahh
Someone sent the Master of Clearance back.
I looked at the silver light on my father's head, and finally couldn't bear it, and comforted, "Daddy, it's okay, I'm not afraid"
A few more words with me, which are nothing more than those words, which I have memorized after listening to them for so many years.
I laughed and pretended to be relaxed and let him go back to rest.
The middle-aged man sighed and finally left.
I still fell into a nightmare all night, and I didn't notice a figure at the head of the bed.
The man had no sleep all night.
After a few days of confusion, the doctors in the house poured medicine into my mouth every day according to the prescription left by the master of the clear space, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel funny...
I have been pampered in the Prime Minister's Mansion since I was a child, and I have always preferred sweets and spicy tastes, not to mention that I have never suffered anything in ordinary days, and I have never even had a bitter taste in my mouth.
But ever since I was seven years old, I have been living with this bitter medicine every day.
At first, I didn't want to be attached to it, and my father tempted me to drink the bowl of bitter juice with countless treasures
"Good daughter, just take a sip"
The little girl turned her head and puffed out her cheeks.
"Didn't you always want that fairy pillow? Daddy asked the emperor for it yesterday, if you drink medicine obediently in the future, Daddy will give you a gift," the man smiled flatteringly.
The little girl's eyes lit up. As the name suggests, if you sleep on the pillow, you will dream of the ten continents, three islands, four seas, five lakes and so on. I originally wanted to get this treasure, but the envoy of the Western Regions paid tribute to the emperor, so I had to give up.
Just about to loosen her mouth, but when she saw the bowl of black decoction, the little girl was sick to her stomach. His eyes rolled around, and when he thought of drinking this bitter thing every day, he still turned his back and looked unmoved.
So the man brought out the other treasures.
"Daddy went to the people today and found a 'self-warming cup'"
“……”
"Just now, Concubine Wu Guifei sent the 'floating light Qiu', that is the mother's baby"
“……”
"Jade Dragon?"
“……”
"Green mud beads?"
The girl seemed to have made up her mind, and she was not moved by external objects.
Just as Prime Minister Gu Cheng was about to grit his teeth and knock this stinky girl unconscious before feeding the decoction, someone outside reported: Young Master Fu is back.
On the day I fainted when I was seven years old, Fu Qing happened to be in the Wei River to control the water, and it was about to be completed. As soon as he heard my news, Fu Qing hurried his horse and drove from the Wei River to Pingcheng for eight days.
The dusty young man appeared in front of me with a worried face, because the trip was too urgent, and his body that had been fond of cleanliness was covered with dust, and even his white and handsome face became a little dim.
Fu Qing walked towards me with the candied fruit he had just bought, wearing the stars and the moon, like those triumphant heroes in the book that women were obsessed with.
I choked up suddenly, and finally drank the medicine with the candied fruit.
After that, every time I drank the medicine, I would send candied fruit when I paid off, just like the pastry, and it never fell.
These two sweet things surrounded me, and when I was full of joy and my heart was pulled out, it suddenly exploded, oozing a large piece of poison and seeping into my heart.
It makes me miserable.
When I came back to my senses, I smiled bitterly, maybe it was because of these pasts, so the people in the house would do everything possible and be cautious when they wanted me to drink the medicine.
But the little girl has finally grown up, no longer coquettish, no longer noisy, and now she can drink a big bowl of bitter medicine without changing her face.
After closing her eyes and drinking the medicine, Chunju sent someone to put the bowl down, and then reminded me, "Miss, in a few days it will be the queen's birthday..."
I was stunned, I have been so confused lately, and I have forgotten such an important thing.
His heart sank, he thought for a moment, and said to Chunju, "You ordered someone to bring the rosary that my father got from Min'an Temple before."
After a while, the things were brought in.
The Buddha beads are a good thing, exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance, which is reassuring.
Although I don't understand, Master Jingkong once said that it was a spiritual one, and in ancient times, it was placed in Bliss by Maitreya Buddha, and it absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for 9981 days.
For the next few days, I stayed in my room and carved the scriptures into the rosary in ant-sized font according to the Buddhist scriptures.
The night before the birthday was carved just after.
I twisted my stiff body and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Empress Jing'an was a kind person and believed in Buddhism, and often went to the temple to pray for blessings. This birthday gift naturally takes some effort.
I put the rosary away, lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.
Tomorrow is a great opportunity.
Daddy is going to do something. On the second day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a hurried chrysanthemum beside me. I got up slowly, sat down in front of the mirror, and let them toss around. Then he slowly closed his eyes.
Recently I've been getting more and more sleepy, and I lost consciousness before I said in my heart.
When I opened my eyes again, Chunju had already lowered my hair and makeup.
I looked at myself in the mirror, a little stunned.
The facial features are delicate and the eyebrows are picturesque. The thin sunlight sprinkled on his face reflected more like a fairy who didn't know the fireworks in the world.
I blinked. Because of the pair of red lips hooked by Chunju, the delicate temperament that should have disappeared, and the whole person became spiritual and golden.
got up, looked at the clothes prepared by the maids, and finally picked out a pretty red dress.
Changing into that new clothes, the dignified person in the mirror is a little gorgeous, and the beauty makes people unable to take their eyes off.
I smiled with satisfaction.
Miss Gu's appearance this time is bound to set off a thousand waves.
When I stepped out of the room, I saw my father waiting at the door.
"The good daughter is getting more and more slim," the middle-aged man looked at me and nodded in praise.
I pursed my lips, "Daddy is also a person, and he is getting more and more handsome in middle age"
"Hahaha" Daddy laughed and got into the carriage with satisfaction.
So I walked to my carriage, and Chunju helped me up.
On the street, the carriage walked slowly, and I lay in the carriage and closed my eyes, listening to the lively sounds outside.
The loud shouting of the vendors, the quarrel over the price of the vegetable sellers, the loud laughter when talking with friends...
Such a country and people's peace, Daddy, why are you obsessed.
After a while, he arrived at the palace, stepped out of the carriage, and couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious things.
The fine white jade paved ground shone with a warm light, slowly extending to the palace as bright as gold in the distance, and the phoenix carved from jade on the side of the road seemed to flap its wings and fly away in an instant. The wall panels made of floating windows carved from blue tiles and jade, and a straight pillar carved with lifelike dragon patterns on the huge altar in front of it, are far away from the phoenix on the palace...
Walking to the main hall with my father, before the banquet began, there were court officials talking to my father, so I walked away with a witty motion.
Now that you're here, let's go around.
I wandered aimlessly around the huge palace, and the chrysanthemum on the side was startled from time to time.
It seems to have walked to the back garden.
"Miss! You see! ”
"Wow, there are lotus flowers this season...", the chrysanthemum was amazed.
I couldn't help but quip, "If you like this palace, I will go to the emperor to ask for a position for you, and stay here." ”
"Miss..."Chunju said angrily, "Even if this palace is good, it can't compare to the Xiangfu in the hearts of the slave maid" and then looked up and looked around, and whispered close to me, "Besides, this palace is gorgeous, but the slave maid always feels like a canary and a precious birdcage, which makes people feel breathless."
This girl can see it through.
After walking for a while, my body felt a little tired, Chunju helped me to the nearest "Baihua Pavilion" to rest, I sat down and gasped, always feeling that I was getting more and more delicate.
"Chonju, I'm a little thirsty" My throat was a little dry.
Chunju answered, turned around and went to the nearby palace to fetch water.
I sat bored and felt the gaze behind me.
Turning his head, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The man in white is extremely beautiful in the sun, as if he has absorbed the brilliance of all things in heaven and earth, and he is as obsessed as a misty cloud.
When I came back to my senses, the man in white had approached.
"The girl looks very familiar below, like an old friend" The man sat across from me and looked at me with a smile.
I twitched the corners of my mouth, isn't this the most old-fashioned way to pick up a conversation in a folklore book?
"Presumably Childe recognized the wrong person." Smile back.
Suddenly, the person in front of me approached, and I smelled the faint fragrance of the man's body, and my heartbeat somehow missed half a beat.
"This hairpin is not suitable for you" said that he pulled out the golden hairpin on my head "cheesy"
It was Chunju that I picked for me, and I didn't bother to let her change it when I woke up and saw it.
The man took out a hosta out of nowhere, the jade was extremely transparent, and he knew that it was extraordinary at a glance.
I was about to say no, but the hairpin was already on my head.
The man looked at me and nodded in satisfaction.
I felt that something was wrong, and I was about to pull it off and return it to this person, when a voice sounded behind me
"Miss!"
I turned back. Chunju walked towards me with water. When he turned around again, the man in white was gone, as if he had never been there.
I stroked the hairpin on my head, it was really not a dream.
After drinking the water, he estimated that the birthday banquet was about to begin, so he walked towards the main hall with Chunju.
Lift your feet and step in,
The relatives of the officials in the hall cast amazing glances.
I curled the corners of my mouth and walked to my father's side with an extremely dignified gesture, attracting constant admiration from all around.
Suddenly, a big hand stretched out, "Why is the crown princess still like a girl who has not left the palace" The man raised his eyebrows, "Now that she is the crown princess of this palace, she should naturally sit next to this palace"
After saying that, he was pulled to Zhao Cheng's side.
In the face of the curious gazes of the people around me, I was about to withdraw my hand, but I didn't expect the man to pull his big hand, lose his balance and almost fall.
Zhao Cheng took advantage of the situation to support me, stopped my waist and took me into his arms.
"The crown princess is so eager to throw her arms to the palace?" There was a deliberate teasing voice over his head.
I quickly got up from Zhao Cheng's arms and sat down next to the crown prince, my neck was flushed, and my dignified state was completely gone.
Hearing the voices around me, I gritted my teeth.
Zhao Cheng seemed to be in a good mood, calmly talking to the people around him, and I also regained my composure.
Suddenly, I felt a gaze shooting, and as soon as I raised my eyes, Fu Qing, who was sitting not far away, looked at me.
The deep look in his eyes was like a pool of stagnant water.
I lowered my eyes and stopped looking at that place.
At this time, a shrill voice sounded, "The emperor has arrived"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" saluted.
"Hahaha, Zhongqing" The honorable man waved his hand, even if it was accompanied by a hearty laughter, it was also deeply majestic.
Only then did everyone get up, "Emperor Xie." ”
"You don't have to be restrained," I looked up, and the man was dressed in a yellow robe, with a delicate dragon pattern outlined in gold thread on the front. His appearance is very similar to Zhao Cheng, but with an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
This is the present day.
The hall was once again bustling with activity.
At the beginning of the banquet, the first step is naturally to congratulate the birthday and give gifts.
Today's protagonist sits quietly beside the emperor, different from the majesty of the emperor, Empress Jing'an is permeated with a serene atmosphere, even if she is over half a hundred years old, she looks like a girl, and her gestures reveal an atmosphere that cannot be imitated. At this time, she was smiling and looking at the birthday gifts presented one after another, thanking her with a spring breeze on her face.
"Gu family's daughter, Nanmu rosary" The eunuch dragged out his voice and read it carefully.
