Chapter Fifty-Eight: First Entering the Jin Palace
On both sides of the street, shops are next to each other. There are grocery stores that sell department stores, cloth houses that sell silk and satin, lively restaurants, and washes that sing and dance.
But what interests Quiet the most is the humble pickle shop there.
"Yoon-hee, I want to go down and buy some pickles, okay?" Quiet blinked and looked at Yoon-hee with big eyes.
"Okay! I'll help you sell it, which one do you want? Yoon-hee smiled dumbly.
She pointed to a row of beautiful little clay pots on the cabinet, "Order those!" ”
Yoonhira drove the door and said to the guards, "Go and buy all those pickles." And tell the boss that in the future, don't sell pickles casually, and send them directly to the imperial dining room when they are ready! ”
The guard took the order and went over to the boss and said, "Your pickles are a tribute, now, give some to our princess to taste!" ”
The boss thanked him for sending a sample of the pickles. Quietly and deliciously tasting the pickles, he didn't forget to say to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, you must pay the money." It's not easy for them to have a small business! ”
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Okay, my concubine is a gentleman and never eats white food!" As he spoke, he ordered the boss to reward the boss with a horseshoe gold.
The boss was grateful and tearful, and vowed to make the best pickles in the world for the princess!
Yoon-hee goes all the way to sell all the way. By the time we arrived at the palace gate, several carriages were already full. Dozens of chamberlains moved to the palace for a long time.
Yun Hee ordered someone to clean up a palace as the princess mansion for the Anxin couple. He held the frost in one hand and the quiet in the other, and walked towards the harem.
"Aifei, do you think this imperial city is big?" Yoon-hee asked quietly. "Great!" Quietly looking at the countless splendid palaces, my eyes are dazzled.
"Yunxi, do you have many women in the palace?" Quiet asked suddenly. He glanced at her, smiled and said, "Many! There is my mother, Empress Dowager Wu, as well as Concubine Chen, Concubine Li, Concubine Zhuang, and 500 palace maids. ”
The quiet little face drooped, silent. "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, why do I have so many women still pestering you, don't you say?" Quiet looked up at him and said, "Yes! Why? ”
Yun Hee smiled, "I'm telling you, those are my father's women!" Quiet smiled too. She said, "I misunderstood you, then you always have a queen, right?" Yun Xi looked at her solemnly: "Yes! My queen is called Quiet! ”
Jing Jing shook her head again and again, "Yunxi, you can't make me the queen!" In that case, your courtiers will object! I didn't think about it either! ”
Yun Xi said: "If you don't become a queen, I will not be a queen for life!" ”
Jing Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Yunxi, why do you bother!" ”
Yoon-hee said, "I don't like to watch a group of women compete and be jealous!" With you, I, Sima Yunxi, am already satisfied! ”
Quietly said: "Yunxi, let's go to the Queen Mother's side to say goodbye, right?" ”
Yun Xi nodded, and went to Empress Dowager Wu's Cining Palace with quietness.
"The old queen mother eats fasting and recites Buddha, she is a very kind person. In the palace, it is difficult for Concubine Li to get along with. She has a daughter who is married to Qi Guo. The other concubines, when their sons became adults, had to go to live in fiefdoms. Yoon-hee introduced her as she walked.
Quietly smiled and said, "If you have a group of wives, I won't deal with it." But a few mothers, I still managed to cope with it! ”
"I hope so!" Yoon-hee said with a smile.
In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Wu was waiting for her son. She heard from the chamberlain that the emperor's son had returned with a princess. In addition, there is a little prince. The old queen mother's mouth can't be closed!
Yun Xi hugged the child and entered Cining Palace with quietness. Yun Xi asked the chamberlain to hold the child first, and he walked up to the queen mother and gave a salute.
Quietly stepped forward slowly, knelt down and kowtowed: "The concubine is quiet, please say hello to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious!" ”
Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile: "Virtuous daughter-in-law, please get up, don't be polite!" The Queen Mother pulled the silence to her side and looked at it carefully. I nodded with satisfaction.
She beckoned the chamberlain to carry the child over. The Queen Mother held the child in her arms and loved it very much. "Did you have a name?" The Queen Mother asked.
Quiet chuckled in her heart and glanced at Yoon-hee. "After returning to my mother, I took it and called Sima Hanshuang." Yoon-hee said.
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled: "It's a good name!" In the future, this child will live in the side hall next to my Cining Palace, and I will send twenty old palace maids and twenty attendants to serve him. "Quietly, hurry up and thank the Queen Mother for the child.
"Emperor, you haven't mentioned this marriage before, it seems a little too sudden." The Queen Mother was a little confused.
"Queen Mother, this is the princess I took when I went out to war. Originally, he had been living in an outer palace. This time I brought it back. Yunxi said. The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, Yun Xihe quietly got up to say goodbye. When I left Cining Palace, it was getting late. Yun Hee called for a soft sedan car. The two sat in a sedan chair and went to Yunxi's Jin Palace.
In the palace of King Jin. Brightly lit. Quiet made a pot of fragrant tea for Yunxi. The two sat opposite each other on the dragon couch, drinking tea and chatting. "Yunxi, do you think it's worth it to go to such great lengths to bring me here?" Quiet asked.
Yun Xi took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "It's worth it, getting you is worth it more than getting thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" ”
Quietly looked at him, "Am I that good?" ”
Yun Hee put down the teacup, moved to her side and said, "The first time I saw you in Qinghe, I felt a sense of déjà vu. It's as if we've seen each other in a dream. It's as if we used to be lovers! ”
Quietly held his face with both hands, and approached the boy to look carefully, looking at his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and the whole face. She shook her head and said, "Although you are very handsome, very handsome!" But you're not him. Or rather, you have changed, you have become a different person. ”
Yoon-hee also cupped her face and looked at it seriously. "You're just quiet, nothing has changed. Still so young and pretty! So smart and lovely. Maybe my appearance has changed, my name has changed, my identity has changed, but I am the person in your heart, in your dreams. ”
"Yoon-hee, this can't be me dreaming again, is it?" Whispered. "It's not a dream, you listen to my heartbeat. It will tell you that I am true and so are you! He took her in his arms.
Silence pressed against his muscular chest. Close your eyes and listen to his rhythmic heartbeat. "Is it really you? Illustrious. She whispered. It's me! He responded to her. Two teardrops slid across the quiet, fair face.
He nibbled on her tiny earlobe. "Aifei, it's not too early, let's rest in peace?" He said. "Well, tomorrow you have to go to bed early!" Quiet said.
Quietly, quietly. Listen to him snore softly. Help him tuck the brocade quilt, put on a robe and go outside.
A waiter on duty came over to salute, "Princess, is there something wrong?" Quietly whispered, "Rest!" I'll just sit here for a while! The chamberlain brought him a cushion and stepped aside.
Quiet put the cushion on the wide steps and sat cross-legged. The warm southeast wind blew gently, and she felt much more relaxed. A brocade robe was draped over her. "Yoon-hee, I woke you up?" She saw Yoon-hee standing nearby.
"Aifei, is this practicing? Or counting the stars? Yoon-hee asked with a smile. I'm counting the stars! She said with a mischievous wink of wide eyes. Okay, I'll count it for you! Yoon-hee sat down on the cushion as well.
The platform of the palace is very high, and if you look up slightly, you can see almost the entire sky. In the sky, the stars are dotted, like a long river flooding. "Look at Beidou over there, how bright it is!" Quiet and pleasantly surprised.
"Well, it's really bright. In the place that Beidou refers to, there is a city, Chang'an City. It used to be a place where countless people dreamed of it! Now it belongs to the Western Liang Kingdom, and it is said that it has been abandoned for a long time! Yun Xi said thoughtfully.
It's a familiar name, but I forgot I've heard it there.
"Which star is you?" Quiet asked. "I'll look for it." Yun Hee looked around and saw two very bright stars in the southeast sky.
"Look over there! The one on the left, called Jade Bow, is me. The one next to the right is called Haoyue, that's you! Yoon-hee said, pointing.
"You gave it that name, right? But it's pretty good! Quiet said with a smile.
"That's right, your emperor's husband is talented!" Yunxi said proudly.
"Talented! My husband is both civil and military! Quiet said, putting her arms around his neck.
"Since Concubine Ai likes these two names, our second prince is called Yugong, and the third princess is called Haoyue! And so it was decided! Yunxi said.
Quietly looked at him strangely and asked, "Yunxi, are you talking in your dreams?" Where is the second prince, the third princess? ”
Yoon-hee smiled and said, "Does this still need to be explained?" In the future, the thousands of miles of the Jin Kingdom will be guarded by the quiet sons. Just have a son who is an emperor? ”
"Yunxi, what do you think of me?" Silence punched him lightly.
"Let's go! For the sake of our thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the emperor will not go to court early tomorrow! Yoon-hee picked her up with a smile and walked into the palace.
When the sky was bright, it was raining outside the palace. The entire imperial city was shrouded in a cloud of mist.
Quiet opened her eyes and saw that Yun-hee had already gotten up. He sat in front of the window and looked out. "Yunhee, it's raining outside?" Quiet asked.
"Yes, it's raining, I have to go to the court!" Yoon-hee said. Be quiet and help him put on the dragon crown and dragon robe.
"Go out and ask the chamberlain to take a big umbrella, don't get wet." Quiet said. "You want to go to the court with me!" Yunxi said with a smile.
"That's not good, I'm your princess, not your minister!" Quiet said.
"Chamberlain, bring the official uniform of the Great Pavilion Leader." Yoon-hee greeted her. A group of chamberlains came in with makeup boxes. In the blink of an eye, Jing Jing wore a golden crown on his head and a red robe on his body. On the robe, the gold edge is embroidered with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern.
"Yoon-hee, I think this is so strange!" Quietly and awkwardly, he followed Yoon-hee to the dragon bowl.
"Just get used to it! My Grand Pavilion Collar. Yunxi said.
"Yunxi, what is this big pavilion leader for?" Quietly looked at the robe on his body.
"The Great Pavilion Leader is the guard responsible for leading the imperial city and managing the harem. The arrangement of the emperor's tour was also involved. In short, you can't leave my sight. Do you understand? Love Concubine? Yoon-hee said with a smile.
"Understood, I'm your shadow!" She pursed her lips.
