038. Thank you for being alive
Qi Ying left from Yunde Palace with a heavy face.
Aunt Luo personally sent it to the door, and when she came back, she brought a palace maid in to clean up the mess on the ground, and then changed a new cup of hot tea to the queen mother, and said softly: "Why is the queen mother unhappy with the emperor, and then it is too late to plan slowly after Miss Miao'er enters the palace." ”
The Queen Mother picked up the Buddha beads on the table and held them in her hand, and said with a chuckle: "You also saw the emperor's attitude just now, after the queen passed away, although he dealt with the government as usual every day, he did not see any emotional excesses, but after all, he is a piece of meat that fell from the mourning family, the person who understands his mind best in the world, naturally he is also the mourning family, the more he is like this, the more he can't let go of his heart, and he is not ruthless to poke the wound in his heart, how to scab?" How is it healed? And how to cultivate the heart of the emperor? ”
Qi Ying shouldn't have a weakness.
The pain of peeling and removing bones is better to experience earlier, and unforgettable love is better to turn into memories as soon as possible.
As an emperor, he should be lonely.
"The Chu family is weak. There is no one in the lineage now, after the death of my brother, there is only one person in this world who is really related to the mourning family, and there is only one Miao'er, the rise of the side branch, and it is inevitable to succeed the descendant, but this matter is still to be selected by the mourning family, but there is no hurry. The Queen Mother suddenly stopped twisting the hand of the Buddha beads, her tone seemed to be a little emotional, and full of sadness, "The mourning family has not been the queen, this position after the succession, naturally it is also intended for Miaoer, now the emperor's country is gradually stable, the foundation is also established, the court is vying for power and profit, factional disputes will not be broken, the Chu family wants to gain a foothold, in this move, Jiang Wan has a strong temperament, the Jiang family is even better at fighting, holding heavy power, although far away in the Nine Immortals Ruins, but after all, it is a sharp sword, the emperor's side, or like Miao'er's gentle temperament, In this life, even if the mourning family owes her, if there is an afterlife, pay it back to her. ”
Aunt Luo was frightened by the Queen Mother's words, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is serious, this is the queen's own blessing after all." ”
The Queen Mother chuckled and didn't speak again, the Buddhist beads in her hand were also put aside and not touched, she took a sip of the teacup in her hand, and suddenly asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly become interested in Concubine Jing?" ”
"The Queen Mother forgot? Concubine Jing was tortured in front of the emperor and asked Jingyue to come to serve her, and then for the punishment of King Jing for kneeling, Concubine Xian went to the emperor to sue Concubine Jing, and I don't know what Concubine Jing said to the emperor, not only was she not punished, but she was favored. Aunt Luo raised her eyebrows and reminded the Queen Mother of what happened during this time, "I touched the door by mistake, and there are such things." ”
"Concubine Xian has always boasted of knowing the emperor's thoughts, she is arrogant, and she is also rebellious, and it is good to hit the wall, but this princess taught by Dongshu has some means, and the mourning family is a little curious, what did she say to the emperor." Although the Queen Mother was smiling and talking, the expression in her eyes was cold, and even her hoarse tone was lowered by two points.
Aunt Luo whispered: "Then the slave maid went to invite Concubine Jing Niangniang to come over?" ”
The Queen Mother shook her head, handed it to Aunt Luo and got up and walked to the house: "Don't worry, it's still a long time, you start arranging for Miao'er to enter the palace first, besides... This play has just begun to be sung, so let her stay up first. ”
.
I drank the medicine last night and slept well, and when I woke up on the second day, Jiang Wan could feel that the temperature on her body was much normal, it seems that the problem of this body is mainly to avoid Song Yujiao from doing a lot of physically demanding activities, which is easy to control.
If the disease is not eradicated, it will have a fatal impact on Jiang Wan's plan.
When she woke up, she felt hungry, called Jingyue, got up and sat down at the table after washing, Jingyue said while serving her porridge: "Imperial Doctor Yin came to the palace early in the morning, the mother was eating, and the slave asked Shuncai to invite someone to come." ”
Jiang Wan bowed her head, millet porridge and pumpkin were boiled together, it was very sweet, Jiang Wan drank three bowls before she felt full, and took the remaining half of the green onion cake in her hand and ate it slowly, before the cake was finished, Yin Zhengshan arrived.
When he greeted him, Jiang Wan was still nibbling on the cake, speaking vaguely, and asked Jing Yue to show him the dregs of yesterday's medicine first.
Yin Zhengshan got up and looked at Jingyue: "Niangniang drank medicine yesterday?!" Who gave it to you?! What's wrong?! ”
Jiang Wan swallowed what was in her mouth: "It's okay, the emperor asked Imperial Doctor Xu to come." ”
Listening to the emperor's advice, Yin Zhengshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night's medicine residue was wrapped in straw paper by Jing Yue herself, and now it has already been cold, Yin Zhengshan carefully checked it, and frowned: "It's a child avoidance soup, and it's also a sleep aid to ward off the cold." ”
Jiang Wan nodded indifferently, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.
Yin Zhengshan's reaction was also relatively calm, but unlike what Jiang Wan cared about, he put down the medicine box and took out a prescription: "Niangniang's body is indeed not suitable for pregnancy now, but this flavor of the soup is a little strong, it doesn't matter if you drink a bowl, if you drink too much, it will be harmful to Niangniang's body. ”
Jiang Wan raised her eyes: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
"I don't know." Yin Zhengshan shook his head solemnly and handed the prescription to Jingyue, "But the minister will know." ”
Jingyue saw that Yin Zhengshan had turned around after speaking, and really wanted to take a pen and paper to write a prescription, so she immediately stepped forward and pulled the white paper into a ball, glared at him and said, "You are good to give birth to Niangniang to recuperate!" What kind of recipe is prescribed to avoid the child?! I hope for a little bit of motherhood! ”
Yin Zhengshan was very aggrieved: "Niangniang's body is not suitable for pregnancy. ”
Jing Yue squinted: "That's why I want you to take care of it!" ”
Jiang Wan wiped her hands clean after eating the half of the cake, got up and walked between the two of them, put her arm on their shoulders, and patted them gently: "Don't prescribe the medicine, I don't like to drink it very much." After speaking, he went inside and sat down, and let Yin Zhengshan come to ask for the pulse.
She stared at Yin Zhengshan's face for a long time and asked, "How is it?" ”
Yin Zhengshan frowned sometimes and thought about it, and only got up and replied after checking the pulse on both sides of the left and right: "Niangniang should have rested well last night, the strain has recovered, and the pulse is much more normal." ”
"Song Yujiao is from Dongshu, and the origin of this disease should also have an answer in Dongshu." Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and muttered thoughtfully, these days, she had forgotten about Pinzhu's little girl, she raised her eyes to look at Jingyue, "Where is Pinzhu?" ”
"I can't stand the punishment, I've been raised in bed for the past two days, my back hurts, and the slave and maid are looking at her." Jingyue replied, "Niangniang wants to see you?" ”
Dongshu is willing to rest assured that Pinzhu will follow Song Yujiao to Dajin as a personal palace maid, this girl must know a lot of things, and she is loyal enough, if she wants to ask something from her mouth, she has to use some extraordinary means.
In the eyes of Jiang Wan and Jingyue, she is certainly meticulous, but now in the eyes of others, Pinzhu is still the slave brought by Princess Dongshu.
"There's no rush ahead of time." Jiang Wan had some vague thoughts in her heart, but they had not yet been completely formed, Pinzhu was going to see it, but it was not yet.
Yin Zhengshan silently collected things beside him, and after listening to Jiang Wan's words, he put up the medicine box and whispered: "Niangniang, there is a matter. . . The minister didn't know whether to say it or not. ”
Jiang Wan raised her eyes to look at him, and was amused by his eyes as if she had done something wrong: "What's the matter?" It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”
"When the minister entered the palace today, he saw the prime minister." Yin Zhengshan clenched the handle of the box.
"Hasn't she been kept in the house these days? Where did you see her? Jiang Wan said.
Yin Zhengshan bit his lip lightly, and with his other hand cautiously pointed in the direction of the Jinchi Palace: "The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion has entered the palace, just in front of the minister, the minister thought. The Prime Minister may have gone to see the emperor. ”
After Jiang Wan listened, she stood up, she hurriedly took two steps forward, took a deep breath and turned back, after sitting down, she thought about it, and stretched out her hand to hold Jingyue: "You send Zhengshan out, by the way, go to Jinchi Palace, you and Changzhong are old acquaintances, find out where Jiang Yu is, come back and tell me." ”
Jing Yuefu responded, glanced at Yin Zhengshan, and walked out of the Meixi Palace with him.
Out of the palace gate, Jing Yue whispered, "Can you see clearly?" Is it really the prime minister's carriage? ”
"Yes, I have been seeing a doctor for the prime minister for two years, and I will never admit my mistake, I was shocked to hear that the mother passed away when I was near Beijing, and I am afraid that the prime minister's condition is repeated, and I also went to the prime minister's house before entering the palace to report on work, but fortunately, although the prime minister is sad, there is nothing abnormal, and I don't know what happened when I entered the palace today." Yin Zhengshan assured that he had definitely not mistaken the carriage and horse, Jingyue bowed slightly, and the two went away in diametrically opposite directions.
In front of the Jinchi Palace, Jing Yue was lucky, just happened to meet Chang Zhong coming out of the palace, he looked left and right, and happened to see Jing Yue's face, saw Jing Yue waving at him, hurriedly glanced back at the hall, and after making sure that there was nothing to do for the time being, he walked quickly towards Jing Yue: "Why are you here?" ”
Jingyue also looked over there, but it was not easy to get too close, for fear of causing trouble to Changzhong, he was scolded in front of the palace: "The Prime Minister is here?" ”
Changzhong reacted for a moment before he remembered, and sighed: "It seems that I handed over the post to the palace, but I didn't come to the emperor." Saying that, he lowered his voice and sighed, "The queen is gone, the emperor is sad, the prime minister is sad, if he comes, not only will he have nothing to say, but he may also have to contradict the saint, a smart person like the prime minister will not come to see the emperor in private during this time." ”
Yes, even if Jiang Ying comes, he has nothing to say to Qi Ying.
Accuse him? Or question him?
Now is not the time for the Nine Immortals, the difference between monarchs and ministers is like the difference between clouds and mud, in the Jinchi Palace, there is no room for presumptuousness, it is better not to see it.
Jingyue nodded regretfully: "It's okay if you don't come." ”
Changzhong keenly caught Jingyue's mistake, she was not a person who would come to this place to ask about things for no reason, the Golden Pond Hall was also sad for her, touching the scene was always sad, and if she could avoid it, she would avoid it, and now was not the time for Jiang Wan to summon the prime minister to talk, how could she make a special trip to ask the prime minister's movements?
Changzhong pulled Jing Yue's arm to the side of the pillar to block some of his figure, and said to her with a serious frown: "Jing Yue, although you are now serving the new master, you know in your heart that you are still the slave of the queen mother after all, and you are from our Dajin, did Concubine Jing ask you?" She is the princess of Dongshu, what is in her heart, and you can tell the difference between right and wrong. ”
He kindly reminded Jingyue that he should not hate the emperor because of the queen's affairs, but did something wrong.
Jingyue was amused by Changzhong's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, and when she saw Changzhong staring at her resentfully, she smiled and replied to him seriously: "You can rest assured, I know what I am doing, and I can't figure it out?" If even loyalty is lost, how can you be worthy of the queen's teachings for many years? ”
Hearing Jingyue say this, Chang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
The emperor was inseparable, he couldn't talk to Jingyue for a long time, and seeing that Jingyue had nothing to say, he hurried back to work.
Jing Yue hurried back to the Mei Xi Palace on the trail and told Jiang Wan what she had asked from Chang Zhong.
Jiang Ying didn't go to see Qi Ying, so where would she go?
Jiang Wan sat silently and thought for a while, and soon her eyes lit up by two points, and she handed it to Jingyue and walked towards the outside of the palace.
"Mother, where are we going?" Jingyue asked anxiously, afraid that Jiang Wan would be too anxious and stumble on her skirt, so she hurriedly said, "You walk slowly, be careful of your step." ”
Jiang Wan didn't answer Jingyue's words, she walked west along the palace road from Meixi Palace, passed by Yuqing Palace, turned two small doors and then turned back to the main road, Jiang Wan finally stopped in front of Yunluo Palace, and took a breath.
Mei Xi Palace and Yunluo Hall were originally not far apart.
There was the queen's coffin here a few days ago, Jiang Wan's original body was in the main hall of Yunluo Palace, the queen should have been buried with a national funeral ceremony when she died, but Qi Ying was so heartbroken that she couldn't even breathe when she saw the coffin, so she only stayed for three days, and then sent to the imperial tomb with a huge team.
The Yunluo Hall is still wide open, and there is no one inside.
This place. . . Jiang Wan is very familiar.
The main hall of Yunluo Hall is the place where the priest gives great gifts, and it is also the place where the soul of the dead is exceeded, and there are several Buddha statues in the side hall, all of which are often worshiped by the Queen Mother.
Jiang Wan raised her hand to support the door frame, took a deep breath, and said let's go, before raising her foot and stepping over the threshold.
On the avenue towards the main hall, Jiang Wan stopped halfway through, Jing Yue followed her line of sight, and there were still a few leaves hanging on the branches of the red maple tree that were faintly protruding from the corner of the eaves on the left.
The tip of Jingyue's nose was sour, and she stretched out her hand to block Jiang Wan's eyes: "Niangniang, don't look at it. ”
The red maple tree was planted by Jiang Wan and Qi Ying on the second day of the emperor's wedding.
Because it is necessary to pray for a good marriage, it is planted in the Yunluo Temple, and it is said that the brightest place for the stars at night is here, and it can pass through the will of heaven.
Pick and choose, Jiang Wan said, red maple is the best.
A row of gorgeous festives, seen every year, can think of the palace scene full of red silk.
At that time, she said: "The red maple is better than the fire, and it is as bright as the sun." ”
Qi Ying stood beside her and took over: "Although the glow is beautiful, it is not as graceful. ”
The past is still vivid, at that time, she saw the red maples, the love is bounding, and the ceremony of dyeing the red sky is spread all over every corner of the imperial city.
Now, too, she saw the white silk.
The old scene is withered.
Jing Yue's hand blocking her vision could only deceive herself, Jiang Wan held her wrist and put it down, and said softly: "Okay, don't look at it." With that, Shin continued to stride inside, without looking in the other direction.
It's just that when I entered the hall, it was still empty, and I didn't see Jiang Yu.
There was still a lot of white silk hanging on the beam, and before he could take it off, a little eunuch who heard the footsteps came out from behind the incense case, and no one could see it clearly, so he knelt down first.
Jiang Wan's gaze fell on the three sticks of incense that had just been burned on the incense case, she moved her gaze to the little eunuch's body, and asked softly, "Has anyone just come?" ”
The little eunuch lay on the ground and replied: "Back to the little master, there was a person here, asked the slave for three sticks of incense to plug in, stood for a while and left." ”
"Gone? When? Where did it go? ”
The little eunuch thought for a moment and replied carefully: "The slave seems to have heard her say that she was going to pick up something and go home. I didn't listen to the truth, the little master forgave the sin, the talent just left for a while, and the slave really didn't know where he went. ”
What to take home?
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, she didn't care about taking Jingyue's hand, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked quickly towards the outside of Yunluo Palace.
She knows, knows where Jiang Yu has gone!
Probably because she was walking too fast and the wind was blowing on her eyes, Jiang Wan blinked her eyes quickly, but tears were always pouring up uncontrollably.
She ran all the way, not caring about how delicate and vulnerable her body was, she just wanted to be faster. A little faster.
After many years, she wanted to meet Jiang Ying, and she wanted to confirm with her own eyes that Jiang Ying was standing in front of her.
Crossing the long street, through the palace alley, and through the wide square, I don't know how long she ran, Jiang Wan only felt that she was about to lose her breath, until she reached the gate of the palace stable workshop to support her body, Jiang Wan bent down and took a big breath to calm her heart that was about to explode.
After the breath stabilized, Jiang Wan clenched Jingyue's hand, and entered the horse shop uneasily, passing through the side rooms in front, and in the wide field behind it, it was the place where the imperial horse was trained.
Jiang Wan stood still at the entrance, her eyes locked on the woman standing in the distance caressing the mane of the horse in front of her.
She was still wearing a snow-white brocade dress, and the pear blossom pattern was too shallow to be seen from such a distance, but Jiang Wan knew where every pear blossom on her body was embroidered.
Her movements are gentle, as patient and meticulous as a baby.
Jiang Wan was standing here, less than a hundred meters away from the woman in front of her, she should have rushed forward, hugged the person in front of her, and said 'welcome back'.
But now his feet are filled with lead, and his identity is locked.
With an unfamiliar face, she could only stand far away and look at the person in front of her, and even a word of greeting became extravagant.
But Jiang Yu is fine, she has survived the test of Hades, she has come back to life, she is indeed a strong and brave woman, at least. Braver than Jiang Wan who only dared to die for relief, sometimes alive. It's harder than dying.
Jiang Yu straightened out the mane of the horse in front of her, and when she turned sideways, she swept the afterglow and saw that there seemed to be a figure standing outside the field, she turned her face to look at Jiang Wan, and with a fluttering glance, it fell on Jiang Wan's body, and she saw that the princess of Shuguo, who had a relationship with each other, was looking at herself with complicated eyes.
Because of her eyes, the princess's eyes suddenly seemed to light up, and then the two tears fell without warning.
Is she crying?
She's in. Sad?
But why are you smiling again?
The eyes are intertwined, and the reunion after a long absence, but in such an identity and form. Met each other.
Jiang Yu's gaze didn't stay on Jiang Wan for too long, she soon saw Jingyue, and after bowing her head slightly, she lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to open the wooden door in front of her, and then led the horse out and walked in the direction of Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan clearly saw the red mark on the horse's forehead.
She suddenly reached out and landed lightly on the horse's mark, and she used her index finger to make a small circle around the center of the mark, then smoothed it again.
Jiang Ying watched Jiang Wan's movements, from calm to shocked.
She grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and suddenly asked, "Who are you?" ”
This time it was close, Jiang Yu stared at Jiang Wan's eyes, as if she wanted to see her through.
Because the impact of that action was too great, it was Jiang Wan's favorite action to do.
The horse in front of her was chosen by Jiang Wan for her son Qi Yan.
When Qi Yan caught Zhou when he was one year old, what he caught was a wooden horse.
At that time, Jiang Wan was very happy, and said that she would choose a horse for Qi Yan that was born on his birthday, and when Qi Yan grew up, she would take him to ride a horse.
Among the many foals, Jiang Wan fell in love with a small thin horse who couldn't even stand on his feet at that time.
With a touch of red on her forehead, she poked a circle out, and said with a smile: "You will be called Zao'er in the future, Yan'er likes Zao'er, and she will like you." ”
It's a pity that she didn't wait for her Yan'er to grow up, and she didn't see him riding this jujube.
Jiang Yu didn't see Jiang Wan for the last time, so she thought that the only thing she could take away in this palace, related to Jiang Wan, was this horse.
Why does the princess of the Akeno Kingdom in front of her know the actions that the queen's stubborn temperament loves to do?!
She asked urgently, Jiang Wan suddenly laughed, and replied softly: "The prime minister knows me." ”
She is Jiang Wan.
Jiang Ying easily opened her hand and took a step back.
She is Song Yujiao.
I have seen it, I have known it.
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes to look at Jingyue, looked at Jiang Wan again, and her tone returned to coldness: "It seems that Dongshu has taught you a lot of things, and he has put a lot of effort into this marriage, but I still advise you, such an action. Don't start in front of the emperor. ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but was dragged by Jiang Wan.
Not only did she hold it, Jiang Wan also raised her hand and pinched Jiang Ying's earlobe, she moved very fast, and when Jiang Wan reacted and covered her ears angrily, Jiang Wan had already stood honestly with her hands behind her back.
Jiang Ying frowned angrily: "You! ”
Jiang Wan pulled out a hint of laughter: "The prime minister's ears will be red if they are pinched." ”
Jiang Ying glared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "Presumptuous! ”
Jing Yue stood on the side, pursed her mouth to hold back a smile, and didn't dare to say a word.
Jiang Wan raised her hand, pointed to Zao'er, and then pointed to her earlobe, and repeated what she had just said: "The prime minister knows me." ”
After speaking, she took a step forward and got closer to keep an eye on Jiang Xuan, and she saw Jiang Xuan's pupils trembling violently.
Close, Jiang Wan's eyes were still wet, her lips trembled a little, and she said softly: "Jiang Xuan, welcome back." ”
