Chapter 2: Brother Persecution
If you want to calm the world, you must be wet with rain and dew, which is the road of the emperor.
On the willow tops of the moon, the emperor rests in the pillow smoke garden of Concubine Hua, and the palace is full of envy.
In the Shang Mansion not far from the palace, Shang Kelan snuggled by the window after dinner, and in the moonlight she swayed and sang the song she used to sing......
"Today's wine fight, Mingdan ditch water head.
On the ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west.
Sad and miserable, there is no need to cry when you get married.
I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads will not be separated......"
Gardenia and the maids didn't disturb when they saw Shang Kelan singing, and Shang Kelan sang alone until late that night before falling asleep.
The next day, the sky was bright, and Shang Kelan woke up slowly.
Gardenia wrung a wet handkerchief and came over to serve, and said, "The hour is almost over, and it is time for Madame to get up." ”
Shang Kelan sighed, and got up to change her clothes under Gardenia's service.
After a simple wash and grooming, a maid brought a sweet and glutinous peach blossom porridge that was white and red.
"The peach blossoms in March are the most colorful, and the slave maid let people pick the peach blossoms early in the morning, and they were still stained with dew when they were first picked." Gardenia said a little flatteringly.
Shang Kelan smiled: "You have worked hard. ”
was praised, and Gardenia was overjoyed: "It's good if Madame likes it." ”
Lowering her eyes, Shang Kelan scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth, which was sweet and refreshing from the inside out......
Time flies, and a few days pass quickly.
I didn't see my sister go back to the palace for a few days, Shang Pinlin felt that something was wrong, and Shang Pinlin couldn't stay any longer and planned to ask Shang Kelan for clarification.
At the entrance of the house, Shang Pinlin directly waved his hand and called the girls guarding the door to leave, and then stepped into the door.
"Lan'er."
At that time, Kelan was leisurely reading the book in the chaise longue, and looked up from the book when she heard the words.
Seeing that Shang Pinlin was coming, he continued to bury his head in reading as if nothing had happened.
The next second, the book was taken away, Shang Kelan raised her eyes, and saw Shang Pinlin who was close at hand.
Knowing Shang Pinlin's temperament, Shang Kelan was not angry and smiled sweetly at him, and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong?" ”
"Lan'er, tell your brother well, why are you reluctant to return to the palace for a long time?"
Shang Pinlin would ask so bluntly, Shang Kelan felt a pain in her heart.
didn't look at Shang Pinlin, fell back into the chaise longue again, and said leisurely: "Yes, it's time to go back to the palace, I almost forgot that I am now His Majesty's concubine......"
The self-deprecation and loneliness in her words couldn't be more obvious, Shang Pinlin's heart ached, he knew that the national change made Shang Kelan very sad, but his father had been planning for many years, and he couldn't stop halfway through a word.
Moreover, the ministers of the Wei State were in power, greedy for ink, and most of the officials were obtained by selling their official positions, and only after breaking and standing up could they save the world......
Jin Yantang is not wrong, although he looks down on him, he also knows that he seized power as the emperor because of a compassionate heart, he wants to save those poor people in the world!
Shang Pinlin couldn't help but come over and grab Shang Kelan's arm, with a serious expression: "Lan'er, when you married into the Jin family, your father said that there was a conspiracy, and you didn't refuse to supervise Jin Yantang's transmission of the news, and now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, you have become a noble concubine from the original general's wife, shouldn't you think of these Lan'er......"
Finally, Shang Kelan couldn't listen anymore, got up from the chaise longue, and then turned around and walked indoors with red eyes.
Now it is different from the past, she is deeply rooted in love, deeply trapped in it, she has crossed over, and under the impact of various concepts of the huge generation gap of the times, she can still maintain her heart now, and it is her bottom line not to break with him.
A tear slipped across her cheek and fell to the ground, Shang Kelan ignored it and strode past Shang Pinlin: "Don't worry, brother, I will enter the palace." ”
Since the beginning of summer, there has been abundant rain, and it will rain heavily in the early afternoon.
At the beginning of the day after the rain, the buds and leaves sprouted new branches and tender leaves, and the delicate flower bones were scattered on the tips dotted, and a low-key dark cyan carriage stopped in front of the Shangfu Gate.
Jin Yantang, who was dressed in dark civilian clothes, got out of the car and walked calmly towards Shangfu.
The doorman did not see the sky and stopped the person in front of the door.
Jin Yantang glanced at him lightly and said, "You went to spread the word that I am your uncle, and I came today to take my wife back home."
Everyone in the world knows that the aunt of the Shang family is today's son.
As soon as he heard his self-declared identity, the doorman was surprised that he had actually seen the current emperor!
But then he became nervous again, for fear that his action would exceed the norm and be killed, he heard that today was a general who used to be a general on the battlefield, and his temperament was the most unpredictable.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come in quickly."
The doorman was so nervous that he stammered when he spoke, and even forgot to pass the pass, so he made a gesture of invitation to let people enter the door.
Jin Yantang didn't care about him breaking his identity, and walked into the mansion with a slight bow.
The dozens of guards who came with him also entered the door with delicately wrapped gift boxes in their hands, followed behind Jin Yantang.
Most of the maids in Shangfu were helped by Jin Yantang's housekeepers before he was called emperor, and most of them had seen Jin Yantang, and when they saw him coming, they avoided him one after another. For a while, the sound of saluting was endless.
Steward Shang learned from the maid that he was coming to Shangfu today, and when he rushed over, Jin Yantang and the others had been waiting in the hall for a while.
He was very annoyed, damn it, no one had passed him on!
didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly kowtowed respectfully: "The villain greets Your Majesty." ”
"Flat."
Taking the new tea served by the maid, Jin Yantang lightly skimmed the lid of the cup to dissipate the heat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and asked the housekeeper: "Uncle Guo is not in the house?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the old man has not returned yet."
After a pause, the housekeeper said again: "The villain has asked people to invite the mother, and it will be there in a moment." ”
Jin Yantang nodded, and then stopped speaking, skimming the lid of the cup for a while, seemingly leisurely but as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Shang Kelan calmly entered with the maid she carried, and saw the man who was sitting on the main seat but domineering and exposed, and her steps paused slightly.
Lowering her eyes slightly, Shang Kelan seemed to be an ordinary woman with her hands folded around her waist like she saw the Son of Heaven, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
Her attitude is detached and polite, so that people can't find the slightest mistake, but at a glance, people feel alienated.
Jin Yantang felt uncomfortable, she was blaming him, blaming him for not taking her back during the ceremony, blaming him for violating the oath he made when he got married, and opening the harem to recruit concubines.
The hand holding the teacup shook slightly, Jin Yantang quickly calmed down, and looked at Shang Kelan with warmth in his eyes: "I haven't seen you for a year, why should my concubine be so gifted." ”
In the face of his harmony, Shang Kelan just smiled and got up, she hung her head slightly frugally, stood tall, and did not answer.
Jin Yantang, who didn't get under the steps, smiled slightly, got up from his seat on his own, and walked to Shang Kelan's side.
"Serve tea to your mother."
