Chapter Eighty-Four: Mother and Child Lose Harmony
The next day, Yu Wenye entered the palace according to the etiquette, and went to Zhaoyang Palace to greet the emperor according to the rules, but unexpectedly he was empty, and it turned out that the emperor went to Li Zhaoyi's bedroom early in the morning to visit the eighth prince Yu Wenhui. Yu Wenye had to go to Kunning Palace first to meet his mother, the Empress Tong.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to today's first three days of continuous work day and night, the Tong clan was quite tired, and temporarily exempted the harem concubines from coming to Kunning Palace to settle the province in the morning and dusk. At this time, she was standing in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling copper mirror, stretching her arms, and letting several palace maids arrange her clothes.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting in the side hall for a long time." Pin'er reminded him.
Tong Shi stroked the white jade tassel hanging from the sideburns, and bowed slightly: "This palace knows, don't worry." ”
After the dress was tidied up, Tong Shi held Pin'er's hand and moved unhurriedly from the dormitory to the warm pavilion. Yu Wenye has been waiting for her in the warm pavilion for a long time, and the tea has been offered three times, if it is not for the mother and son, I am afraid that I will think that the Tong family deliberately made his face and let him sit on the cold bench.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is Jin'an." Giving up his hands to perform family gifts, Yu Wenye is wearing an ordinary green jade crown today, although it is not as dazzling as the gold crown, but it adds warmth.
Tong sat high on the phoenix chair, smiling dignified as usual: "It's not good to blame the queen mother for getting up late this morning, let Ye'er wait for a long time." ”
Yu Wenye didn't care, and said with a light smile: "Erchen and you are biological mother and son, naturally sympathetic to the hard work of the queen mother for many years, in order to protect your phoenix health and well-being, it doesn't matter if Erchen sits and waits for a while." ”
Tong Shi took the copper hand stove handed by Pin'er, and the jade hand wearing opal armor gently fiddled with the silver charcoal in the hand stove, and pointed out: "You seem to have something on your mind, you can't hide things in front of this palace since you were a child, you might as well talk about it, and this palace will explain a thing or two for you." ”
Relatives and flesh, his heart is worried, how can she not know? Today, Tong's deliberately dressed up and smiled as usual, which is to tell Yu Wenye that Li Zhaoyi's mother and son have nothing to fear, as long as her position in the middle palace is as stable as Mount Tai, Yu Wenye's throne of the prince can also be shaken.
"The Eighth Emperor Brother was born yesterday, and his father, Emperor Longxin Dayue, immediately gave his name to inform the provinces, but I am afraid that he should be promoted to the position of Li Zhaoyi soon." Yu Wenye stated it without being salty or light, and tried his best to restrain his emotions.
"This palace has persuaded Your Majesty yesterday to promote Li Zhaoyi to the concubine position, Your Majesty obviously has this intention in his heart, and he is not in a hurry." As she spoke, Tong hooked the corners of her lips, and the color of her lipstick was the same as the color of the scarlet golden phoenix crepe ribbon skirt on her body. Wearing a fairy bun high, a delicate jasper hairpin, and then decorated with Luan Feng red coral gold step shake and pearl flower hairpin, when moving, Na stumbled, swaying but did not lose the noble majesty of the queen.
Although Li Zhaoyi won the man in one fell swoop, the saint is now thick, and the Tong family still doesn't pay attention to it. She knew that the only woman who could threaten her throne had died, but fortunately, Concubine Chen's ambitions had not been revealed over the years, and the most important thing was that the Fang family had fallen into the court, and her reputation was far less than that of the Tong family, so the emperor had never moved the idea of changing the situation after the abolition. For example, Chen Guifei lived in Que Ning Palace during her lifetime, and only the Kunning Palace and the most luxurious and exquisite Que Ning Palace in the harem contain the word "Ning", which means that the Tianxi Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful. Many furnishings in the Que Ning Palace are out of order, and the red gold peacock totem is almost everywhere, and for example, the beaded curtain is hung with the high-quality amethyst mixed with the huge and uniform southeast pearl...... All of them imply the noble honor of the master's identity, which is not inferior to the treatment of the queen. In addition to Chen Guifei Fang Rou, when the first emperor was in power, the first emperor's favorite concubine Rong also entered the Que Ning Palace.
"My father is now pampering Li Zhaoyi and Concubine Xian, and there is a draft in the spring, and the queen mother and my father and wife have respected each other for many years, so don't lose your sense of proportion because of jealousy." Yu Wenye used a half-joking tone, but he amused Tong's family.
"This palace has lived a long time, and I don't need you to worry about teaching." Putting down the hand stove, Tong Shi scolded with a smile and then said, "Speaking of which, you are not small, and your knees are still empty, and your father and emperor have children around their knees when they are as old as you." You and the crown princess have been married for half a year, and you have heard a lot of gossip in the ears of this palace and you can't ignore it. ”
When it comes to the heir, Yu Wenye is not as resistant as before, on the contrary, Junrong quietly fainted with a shame that was imperceptible to the naked eye, lowered his eyes and called: "Queen Mother." ”
Tong Shi stared at the palace for a long time before opening his mouth slowly, and his tone was unpleasant: "The Ye family rarely enters the palace, I heard that she rarely goes out of the house to show her face, before you said that she was sick, if it wasn't for Chinese New Year's Eve to enter the palace for a banquet, the palace would still think that she was suspended by you." ”
Hearing this, Yu Wenye's face was not good, and the corners of his mouth twitched, almost expressionless: "The virtuous lady personally selected by the queen mother, and the marriage is given by the father's holy decree, and the sons dare not divorce their wives easily." ”
"Ye is the first beauty in the capital, born in a scholarly family, even the queen mother has praised her beauty and talent, such a beauty can't be in your eyes? It's a pity that although this palace is the queen, she can't order the seven fairies to marry you. After speaking, Tong sighed helplessly, but the mother's heart was not adulterated at the moment.
Unexpectedly, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, playing with taste: "Erchen has met the Seven Fairies." This smile flashed but was extraordinarily sincere and gentle, as if talking about the sweetness of mutual affection.
Tong's eyes changed rapidly, first with a hint of relief, then into prepared fierceness and helplessness, and finally completely faded from the love at the bottom of his eyes. At the end, she waved her hand and retired from the palace maid, leaving only her henchman to serve, and asked him deliberately in a deep voice, just to confirm the answer she expected: "Which girl is it?" ”
"Bai Muguan, the daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi."
Yu Wenye couldn't wait to answer, the dark starry eyes instantly brightened, and the scorching brilliance in his eyes couldn't be transferred.
Sure enough.
Despite the preparations, Tong Shi was still stunned, and then asked with a reluctant smile: "Ye'er actually likes such a woman?" ”
Her son, who was hard to conceive for ten months, is really like his father when he was young, he didn't like gentle, elegant, quiet and dignified ladies, and he was quite a kind of unruly and deviant woman.
Yu Wenye nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mu Guan's chest is Tibetan and Mo, and he has the courage to not let her eyebrows, and her sons and her have two hearts, looking forward to staying until they are old." ”
Tong's surface was steady and unmoving, but the red lips were tightly pursed, and the whole person was subconsciously tense. She had guessed his mind early in the morning, but she never thought that Yu Wenye, who was not close to women one day, would solemnly say that he and a girl were eager to stay together. And the girl in his mouth is the tiger girl of the gate, which not only makes the Son of Heaven rely on it, but also inevitably fears his father's military power. What's more, Bai Muguan looks like a woman who is so jealous and almost crazy in Tong's life that she touches the thorn in her heart, she can't tolerate it!
But there are some things that she can't say to her son.
"Ye'er, I don't know if you've heard a word? Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace. Tong cleared his throat and said unhurriedly, "From ancient times to the present, the more loyal and brave the generals who are good at fighting, the greater the variables, and the ending is often embarrassing." In the coming days, there will be a change, and the involvement will be unheard of. You want to marry the daughter of the nouveau riche of Jiangmen, and now it seems that you have the support of the 200,000 army of Mobei, but in fact, it is far away from the thirst of the near, and Mobei is thousands of miles away from the capital, so it is useless to have an emergency. Besides, with these 200,000 soldiers, it is impossible for the Bai family to firmly control it for a lifetime. Why provoke your father's unwarranted suspicion for the sake of false fame? ”
Yu Wenye breathed and shook his head unconsciously. It turned out that the Tong family thought that he wanted to accept Bai Muguan because of Bai Zhanyi, and he did think that Bai Zhanyi had great achievements in defending one side, and he could have such a father-in-law like a tiger with wings to help him become a rock solid. A full half a year has passed since Bai Muguan entered the command room of Beijing Bomb, and now he doesn't even care what family Bai Muguan comes from, he trusts her, appreciates her, loves her, and is even used to having her by his side. The future is promising, and he hopes that she can support him all the way.
Yu Wenye vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he heard his father say that if you want a woman to accompany you for a long time, the best way is to marry her.
got up and left his seat, only to see him lift his brocade robe and kneel straight in front of Tong's family, his eyes were unwavering, and his tone was calm: "According to the queen mother's words, it will only make the loyal ministers and good generals chill, if there is another war, who will fight and kill the enemy?" The sons knew that their fathers and queens had placed great hopes on them since they were born
Wang, it is said that the royal family is unkind, and the sons and daughters are in it to realize the feeling of being involuntarily. His father was a generation of Ming monarchs, and his sons believed that he would definitely not wronged any of the civil and military generals for no reason. Even if the Bai family suddenly changes in the future, or if the Fang family declines because there are no outstanding descendants, the sons don't care. At this time, Erchen is happy with Bai Muguan, it doesn't matter whose daughter she is, he just admires her. ”
Who knew that Tong Shi Huo Ran stood up, his phoenix eyes were round, there was a raging flame burning in his eyes, and he reprimanded in his mouth: "You are a dignified prince, and you actually knelt down to ask to marry a woman?" In addition to being able to dance and play with swords, that Bai Muguan only has sharp teeth left! She is the cousin of the crown princess, and you are her cousin-in-law in terms of seniority, so it is no wonder that the woman who seduces you without knowing the inspection is Ye grew up in Mobei. On that day, the Bai family's relatives had no one in the capital, and His Majesty Long En authorized her to borrow the East Palace for a few months, but unexpectedly made you confused! Look at you so indiscriminately, the hard work of this palace in this life will be in vain! ”
The queen mother said seriously. Mu Wan Wen Tao Wu Luo, she should have been a good match for Erchen, if she returned to Beijing earlier, Erchen would not marry Ye. Yu Wenye said these words indifferently with a cold face, the smile on his lips was so faint that it made people shudder, and his slender figure knelt on the ground without moving.
In his heart, he never regarded Ye Shiying as his wife, so he didn't think about any generational ethics at all.
Seeing this, Pin'er hurriedly walked over, ready to pick him up, but as soon as his hand touched Yu Wenye's arm, he heard his cold words: "Get out!" ”
Pin'er was so frightened that she trembled and hurriedly knelt on the ground, she was the most face-saving palace maid around the Tong family, she had never seen Queen Tong speak so harshly to the prince, the prince was also indifferent and firm, and the mother and son were in a stalemate and did not give in to each other. However, there were only three of them in the hall at this time, and Pin'er had to persuade her: "Your Highness, Niangniang's loving mother is heartfelt, and she thinks about you wholeheartedly, you can quickly stand up and make amends to Niangniang, don't make the mother and son discordant because of irrelevant outsiders." ”
Alien? Hearing these two words, Yu Wenye glanced at Pin'er coldly, her eyes were full of undisguised danger, and she was silent.
Looking at this scene, the Tong clan was so angry that he trembled with anger, and couldn't help but point at him and scolded: "Yu Wenye, this palace doesn't allow you to have anything to do with Bai Muguan anymore, she doesn't even think about being a concubine!" ”
Before he could take a breath, the sound of footsteps outside the hall came from far and near, and Gao Zhan's sharp and ambiguous voice sounded an octave: "Your Majesty has arrived-"
Soon Yuwen Haotian strode into the warm pavilion, he was wearing a bright yellow auspicious character back pattern brocade robe, covered with sable fur, only wearing an ordinary golden crown to tie his hair, and a pair of golden dragon auspicious cloud patterns on soap boots showed his identity as the Ninety-Five. His face was full of smiles, although he was a little more kind, his demeanor and majesty were not reduced.
Tong Shi had already put on a noble and gentle smile, and there was no trace of her anger. Yuwen Haotian personally helped her who wanted to bow down, and then turned around and said, "It's all flat." ”
"Your Majesty came to Kunning Palace so early today, and the concubines haven't been ready to take over yet, so there are many rudenesses that make Ye'er see jokes." As he spoke, Tong deliberately smiled half-disgustedly.
Since winning the Eighth Prince yesterday, the smile on the corner of Yuwen Haotian's mouth has not stopped, and he has become more and more happy at this time: "How can there be a reason for a son to laugh at his mother, and besides, I and the queen are husband and wife, and the queen doesn't have to take red tape too seriously." ”
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Tong smiled reservedly, and quietly glanced at Yu Wenye, who was standing below without saying a word.
"It's the New Year's time when there is another happy event in the palace, the queen has worked hard, and I brought good things to the queen today." After saying that, Yuwen Haotian squinted at Gao Zhan, Gao Zhan was busy with his head, and he clapped his hands again and again to signal outside.
I saw two palace maids carefully carrying a pot of ingenious and exquisite pot carvings and walked in. This is a pot of coral as the branch, jade as the leaf, red jade as the petal, and then by the gold thread sewn and overlapped into the peony pot carving, and the colorful jewel inlay, is a rare treasure in the world.
I only heard Yuwen Haotian smile and said: "There are three kinds of new pot carvings in the palace, I sent a pot of ink chrysanthemum to Ning'an Hall to honor the queen mother, and rewarded the cherry blossoms to Li Zhaoyi. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, this peony pot carving is very beautiful and exquisite." Tong smiled happily on his face, but in fact, his heart was cold. The production of pot carving is extremely complicated, it took a whole year to make a few pots in the palace Miao'an Fang, and the newly made pot carving Yuwen Haotian in previous years will always be given to Chen Guifei, without exception. There was no Concubine Chen in the harem this year, so he remembered her as a wife. Thinking of Concubine Chen again, she suddenly thought of another thing.
"Your Majesty, it is a great joy to add a new little prince to the palace, although he was born prematurely, he is fat and healthy. The concubine had an idea in her heart, thinking that she could be more happy. ”
