Chapter 93: Chinese New Year's Eve
How could the saint easily move the daughter of the land prime minister before getting rid of the Xiao family?
Emperors kill people without beating gongs and drums.
Similarly, the concubines of the harem eradicate dissidents, and there is no trace of it.
Concubine Xian's eyes dimmed, and her mind went round and round to clear some of the past.
For more than ten years, for this son, for the throne of the prince, her hands are not clean, stained with blood, stepping on white bones and climbing to the head of the four concubines step by step, only she knows the sadness.
Empress Xiao's elixir was mixed with the same clan sister Xiao Yun herself, if it wasn't for the sake of competing for favor, how could she give her sister the elixir?
The women of this house, who conspire with you today, will provoke right and wrong tomorrow, whether they are sisters or not, they are all equally selfish.
It is precisely because Empress Xiao can't give birth to a concubine that she will fall into the current situation, otherwise with her city and background, a hundred virtuous concubines would not be enough for her to practice.
"Erchen understood."
Shen Mushi suddenly said such a sentence, and the two people present looked at him in unison.
"The sons will let Shuangshuang give birth to their sons-in-law as soon as possible, thank you for the teachings of the concubine."
Shen Mushi suddenly stood up and waved at Concubine Xian.
"It's good to understand." Concubine Xian smiled with relief.
Since the child was taken into exile at the age of six, he has not been close to him, and he has not paid much attention to her teachings. Today's obedience is the first time in the world, and she is very pleased.
"It's not too early, the sons and daughters will retire first, and the mother is also tired, so let's rest early."
Shen Mushi pulled Shuangshuang to stand up and left, looking like he didn't want to stay longer.
Sure enough, Concubine Xian's brows furrowed, and her mouth opened slightly to say something, but the words full of stomach did not come out after all. He just waved his hand, leaning back in his chair tiredly and not moving.
After exiting Yikun Palace, the two walked side by side in the incense path, each with their own thoughts for a while, silent.
In the end, it was Shen Mushi who opened his mouth first.
"Don't listen to what the concubine said." Shen Mushi clenched his hands and said such a sentence without a head.
"When you don't love someone, their existence or not means nothing to you. Even if he stays by his side, he will only be a pawn. Shen Mushi glanced sideways.
The villain bowed his head obediently and did not say a word.
"You really want me to kill Frosty?"
Shen Mushi sighed.
"I didn't mean that!"
Shuangshuang immediately raised his head in a panicked defense.
When her eyes looked at Shen Mu extremely seriously, she couldn't wait to send her heart and liver to him to see clearly:
She, Lu Shuangshuang, is not a femme fatale.
"You just have to remember that I only love you one." Shen Mushi sighed, reluctantly pulled Shuangshuang into his arms, and whispered comforting.
"We will definitely have our own child, but we can't use this child to fight for power, I will support your mother and son, so that he can grow up in the palace safely and worry-free, not like me, I have not experienced the real joy of family since I was a child, always alone, always alone......"
Speaking of sadness, Shen Mushi's arm unconsciously exerted force, hugging the little person in his arms tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
Shuangshuang was also extremely distressed, and took the initiative to reach out and firmly wrap his hand around Shen Mushi's waist and give her all the responses.
The mother's words do make sense, the mother and son are of the same heart, how could he not understand what the situation is?
It is precisely because the emperor and grandson are extremely critical that he does not let Shuangshuang move around, because he is afraid that the enemy hiding in the shadows will suddenly plot against her.
Shuangshuang is now his life.
If she had a chance, half of his life would be gone......
The thirty-first day of the lunar month was Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was faintly bright, the Weiyang Hall was silent, both of them slept soundly, and in the hazy hazy there were arms holding her tightly.
Shen Mushi's chin rested on the top of Shuangshuang's head, and the quilt was warm, she muttered comfortably, and then pressed Shen Mushi's neck socket intimately.
Shen Mushi chuckled lightly, stretched out his slender fingers and scratched her nose dotingly.
Shuangshuang couldn't stand his teasing, opened his eyes leisurely, and the first thing he saw was the handsome face of his husband.
The two have been together for some time, and until now, they have not been tired of seeing him like this. Early in the morning, he committed a nymphomaniac, and his eyes looked straight at Shen Mu.
Since the round house, His Royal Highness no longer let her go back to the Cloud Palace, and forcibly left her in the Weiyang Hall every day, and the cheeky prince refuted the persuasion of the female history without shame:
As soon as the palace arrived at night, it was difficult to fall asleep, and no medicine worked, and only by holding the crown princess could I sleep. For the sake of the well-being of the palace, the princess will sleep in the Weiyang Palace in the future, if anyone uses the palace rules to press the palace, in case the prince is unwell, the palace will take off her head!
The scoundrel has already played this part, and the female historians don't dare to say anything, so they have to retreat resignedly, and it is difficult to say that there is suffering.
"Your Highness, it's early."
Both of them let out a sweet smile, reached out and hugged Shen Mushi's waist tightly, and a white and tender little foot stretched out of the quilt restlessly, dangling mischievously.
"Staring at my husband early in the morning, isn't my husband not working hard enough last night?"
Shen Mushi looked at the person in his arms and smiled like a fresh white peony, and he was in a very good mood at first glance, so that he also swept away the depression of last night, and the whole person was refreshed, and his heart must have calmed down, so he wanted to tease her.
"Oops, you're so nasty! I heard Lu Ling say that there will be fireworks in the palace at night, and I also invited the juggling team outside the palace to perform in the palace, I haven't seen that kind of large-scale fireworks for many years, I'm really happy. ”
Both smiling eyebrows and eyes were crooked, looking forward to the grand fireworks feast in the imperial city.
Yesterday was the last day of the civil and military officials, and Emperor Chu Wei sealed the seal and sealed the pen, announcing the official start of Xiu Mu.
All courtiers, from the crown prince to the minor officials of the nine pins, will rest from Chinese New Year's Eve until after the Lantern Festival. That is to say, in the past ten days and half a month, His Royal Highness, who is busy with no one on weekdays, can finally put down everything at hand and accompany her for the New Year with peace of mind.
"Love fireworks so much? Like a child. Shen Mushi smiled softly, and raised his hand to brush away a few strands of soft green silk on his cheeks.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years, his palace was extremely quiet and lonely. Because he did not set up a princess, he could not start a family, he had to go to the palace of the concubine for dinner first, and then the palace maids and eunuchs up and down the palace did not have to be errands, and all went back to their respective places for the festival.
For a while, only he and Li Chuntang were left in the huge palace, looking at the stars in the sky in a daze.
The only more lively Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is more of a drama of the prince and the queen competing for favor, which is boring and not worth mentioning.
After the family banquet, almost all the royal relatives and nobles have to step up to the tower of the imperial city to enjoy the fireworks, and the people below flock to the imperial city to look forward to the divine power of the Son of Heaven and the Mother of the Country.
He always thought that the crowd was too noisy, so he quietly left looking for a reason to sober up, followed by Li Chuntang, a man and a eunuch walking on the cold incense path one after the other, how lonely his figure was.
After returning to the palace, he retired Li Chuntang and climbed the Meixue Tower alone to enjoy the fireworks, so the shadow was only a few years old, from the loneliness at the beginning to the lonely and lonely to stand alone, and began to slowly get used to it.
It wasn't until Xiaoshuang appeared that some of the loneliness was erased a little. It's just that every year Xiaoshuang is afraid of the cold, and every year he spends his time in an inner room with floor heating, and he hasn't enjoyed fireworks for a long time.
Now looking at Shuangshuang's excited expression, it also gave him some joy, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Of course I love it! You don't know, I have to watch the fireworks in the imperial city every Chinese New Year's Eve, but standing on the roof is too far away to see clearly. Later, when I climbed onto the roof, I accidentally fell down and sprained my foot, and my mother never allowed me to go up to a high place to watch the fireworks, but I didn't see the fireworks for several years. Now it's okay, I've actually entered the palace, you can watch the fireworks up close, you see the imperial city is so high, climb high and look far away, not covered by Qionglou Yuyu, this fireworks must look very exciting! ”
Both of them chattered about some things in the house in the past, their eyes were shining, and the whole person was full of energy.
"Yo, I can't see you, you're still going to climb the roof? Aren't you the tallest climber? ”
Shen Mushi said teasingly, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc of moon hooks, and his face was in disbelief.
"What did I lie to you, that is, after falling from the top, you are afraid of heights."
Shuangshuang frowned, and said a little unhappily: "I fell and broke the blood flow, and I almost broke my appearance." Look at the corner of my left eye, is there a small scar? I had a sprained foot, and I was limping and laughing at my brothers for a long time. Both of them flattened their mouths and pointed under their left eyebrows for Shen Mushi to see.
Shen Mushi leaned over to carefully examine her face, focusing on the left eyebrow socket, squinted his eyes to look, and sure enough, he found that there was indeed a very small scar on the smooth jade-like skin, which was extremely light, and it couldn't be seen if he didn't look carefully.
He stretched out his hand and wiped it distressedly: "Well, there is a small scar, very shallow, you don't say that I didn't find it at all." ”
"In short, tonight is busy, let's stay, let's write Spring Festival couplets!"
Both of them opened the brocade quilt and sat up on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mushi took the opportunity to hug her from behind and hugged her tightly.
But he didn't do anything, just leaned on her back and whispered: "Tonight, after the family banquet, I will take you to see the fireworks, do you want to climb the snow tower, or go to the glazed tiles of the imperial city?" ”
"It's all right, with you, anywhere.
Both chuckled, their eyes full of sweetness.
After a while, Shen Mushi led Shuangshuang at the gate of the palace and began to paste Spring Festival couplets.
"A little to the left, hey, a little to the right!" Both of them were panting and shouting underneath, their foreheads covered with fine sweat.
"Just post it casually, where are there so many rules."
Shen Mushi put one hand on the gilded copper nail with nine horizontal and seven horizontal hooks, and pointed to the copper nail, and slapped the door of the East Palace with one hand, and a red word "spring" was pasted in the gap of the copper nail, and his figure fell to the ground in a dashing manner.
Several palace maids and the East Palace guards were dumbfounded.
I have been on an errand in the East Palace for many years, how have I ever seen a red Spring Festival couplets pasted on the gilded copper nails with black lacquered wooden doors that are nine vertical and seven horizontal?
