Chapter 141: I see
This year's winter in Beijing is colder than usual, with the north wind hunting all day, overcast clouds, and heavy snowfall.
The usual bustling markets are gone, there are few pedestrians, and shops are closed.
People are hiding in their homes, and as the days and nights get shorter, they become more and more lazy, and it becomes even more difficult to wake up in the morning.
Even the emperor, who was diligent in government affairs on weekdays, could not resist the warm temptation of the bed, and the day became later and later, and the frequency of the early dynasty changed from daily to three, then to five, and then to seven.
So, the emperor slapped his hand and simply decided to temporarily move to the hot spring palace in Yixian County with his concubine and hundreds of officials to avoid the cold.
Yixian County is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Beijing, not far from Beijing, you can enjoy a hundred flowers in spring, stars in summer, red leaves in autumn, snow in winter, it is a good place with a quiet environment and beautiful scenery.
There are natural hot springs here, so the palace is built, which can escape the heat in summer and the cold in winter.
Although the emperor went to the palace to avoid the cold, he did not forget the state affairs, so he took the prince to sit in Beijing, and assigned some officials to stay in Beijing and some officials to accompany him, so as to facilitate the exchange between the two places and deal with government affairs.
Because the queen mother and concubine traveled with the emperor, the accompanying officials could also bring their families to go.
Fu Yunshen was also among the accompanying officials, and Zhou Jingrong was also going to follow, and the Queen Mother specially summoned Mrs. Fu to accompany her.
Among the other daughters of the Fu family, the Wu family wanted to stay in the mansion to take charge, and Gan Tang and Fu Chunhua were afraid that the children would not be able to endure the cold on the way, so they did not plan to go out.
Only Lin Shutong changed his obedient and steady image in the past, and took the initiative to ask Fu Yunshen to also go to the royal palace to see and understand.
Fu Jiao originally disagreed with Lin Shutong going out, but thinking that the relationship between the mother and daughter was a little stiff because of her insistence on beating the mandarin duck recently, she thought about fulfilling her daughter's wish and making her happy.
But the emperor and the queen mother traveled, how could King An not accompany him. She was afraid that Lin Shutong and Prince An would meet in private, so she also came along.
The woman next to her was very excited because she rarely had the opportunity to go far and go to the royal hot spring palace, but Zhou Jingrong was not so happy.
She originally nested at home for the cat winter, and the cat was quite comfortable, so she was really reluctant to move the place.
In ancient times, it was not backward as she imagined, there was no time to mediate the heat in summer, and it would freeze to death if there was no heating in winter, it was a poor family, and the rich family lived comfortably.
There is a dragon in the house, a brazier, a stove, and it is hot, and the indoor temperature is very high, which is no different from a modern heating room.
Thanks to Fu Yun's deep wealth and generous blessings, she can still enjoy the heavy snow in the snowy winter, while eating fresh vegetables and fruits, the small life is not too beautiful, she doesn't want to toss to the palace.
She didn't know if the palace was good or not, but the wind and cold bumps on the road were inevitable.
However, although Zhou Jingrong was reluctant to move the nest, he was even more reluctant to leave Fu Yunshen.
In order to take care of Zhou Jingrong, who was afraid of the cold, Fu Yunshen wrapped the entire carriage of the carriage with a thick blanket and made it airtight, leaving only the windows with transparent tiles to keep the inside of the carriage from being dark.
He also spread thick blankets and quilts on the carriage, and prepared several charcoal stoves around the carriage, which could be used to boil water and keep warm.
Zhou Jingrong sat in the wide carriage and didn't want to go down anymore, it was even more comfortable than her nest.
She lay on the soft cushion and rolled several times.
Fu Yunshen sat aside, supporting his chin with his hands, and looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting.
It's weird, no matter what she does, he finds it cute.
It wasn't until Zhou Jingrong was a little sweaty that Fu Yunshen stretched out his hand to stop her, held her in his arms, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "How can you be playful like a child, sweat carefully and be blown cold by the wind, and you will suffer it then." ”
Zhou Jingrong sat obediently motionless, letting Fu Yunshen wipe her sweat, and as if he was afraid that she would not be hot enough, he wrapped her in a rabbit fur scarf.
Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong's flushed little face being surrounded by a circle of fur, becoming more and more delicate, and she couldn't be cute, and asked softly: "Didn't you want to go out before, why are you so happy now?" ”
Zhou Jingrong blinked: "I'm happy because you are good to me!" ”
Fu Yun smiled deeply: "It's my job to take care of you, how can it be considered good for you?" If one day, I will do all my wealth and life for you, then it will really be good for you. ”
Zhou Jingrong was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth: "Bah, crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense!" I don't want any vigorous ups and downs, let's just be plain. ”
She thought for a moment and added, "As long as we're together, it's fine." ”
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen smiled with deep eyebrows, moved by her words, and hugged her tightly.
Yixian was only half a day's journey from Beijing, but the snow on the road was difficult to walk due to the snowstorm, so the emperor sent a team of soldiers to clear the snow, and the large army stopped at a nearby village.
Fu Yunshen was called away by Shangfeng, and Zhou Jingrong lay on the cushion on the carriage, waiting for Fu Yunshen to come back to study for her.
Zhou Jingrong was bored, and just stuffed a cherry peach into her mouth, the car door was suddenly opened, and Pei Deyin walked in with a cold snowstorm.
As soon as Pei Deyin got into the carriage, he exclaimed: "There is really a hole in your carriage, it is warmer and more comfortable than my carriage." ”
When the princess arrived, Zhou Jingrong couldn't lie down to entertain guests, so she sat up: "Why did the princess come over?" ”
Pei Deyin looked around and replied casually: "It's nothing, walk around." ”
Zhou Jingrong turned around her brain, which had been frozen by the cold winter and had not been used for a long time, and asked, "The princess is not looking for me, she is looking for Cousin Tong, right?" ”
Pei Deyin did not speak, as if it was a default.
Zhou Jingrong couldn't handle Pei Deyin's attitude towards this matter, so she was not in a hurry to express her position, but only pushed the plate containing the fruit forward and motioned for her to eat.
After a while, Pei Deyin really spoke again: "What is Aunt Jiao's attitude towards the matter of my brother Wang and Sister Tong?" ”
Zhou Jingrong said truthfully: "My aunt disagreed, and even grounded my cousin for this. ”
Pei Deyin's originally slightly tense expression was obviously a little loose, Zhou Jingrong was relieved, it seems that the princess, like Fu Jiao, does not approve of this marriage!
Zhou Jingrong frowned, puzzled, and unhappy for Lin Shutong: "It is rare for Cousin Tong and the prince to be in love, as close relatives, we should support it." ”
Although Zhou Jingrong and Lin Shutong were rivals, they had already released their suspicions.
Thinking that Lin Shutong had never been in contact with a man other than Fu Yunshen before, he would have hazy feelings for him at the age of the young Mu Ai.
Now that she has people who fall in love with each other, Zhou Jingrong is very happy for her, but she doesn't know why these people around her oppose it.
Pei Deyin sighed and said, "I'm not against them, and I also hope that my brother can find a good match." It's just that I still want Aunt Jiao to marry my father and be my mother's concubine. But if Sister Tong marries my brother, Aunt Jiao can't marry my father, how can this be a good ......"
As she spoke, she wrinkled her eyebrows, looking very entangled.
But her words were amazing, but Zhou Jingrong was not lightly shocked, Sakura Peach Kernel swallowed directly into her throat, and almost choked: "Ahem......"
Pei Deyin hurriedly handed her a cup of tea and patted her on the back: "Are you okay?" ”
Zhou Jingrong poured a sip of hot tea, her throat was more comfortable, and she hurriedly said: "However, the prince still has a princess!" ”
Speaking of Princess An, Pei Deyin's face immediately darkened: "That woman, who used subterfuge to frame Aunt Jiao and cause her to be separated from my father, had a dirty mind, and she couldn't be a princess at all!" ”
Pei Deyin lost her mother when she was born, and when she was young, King An and Fu Jiao got along, and Fu Jiao took good care of her, so she always regarded Fu Jiao as her mother.
Later, Fu Jiao left with the Fu family, and she cried for a long time. She always thought that it was because of the accident of the Fu family that King An and Fu Jiao missed their good relationship, and she was very sorry in her heart.
But it wasn't until she went to Puhe County that she saw Fu Jiao and Lin Shutong, and she became suspicious, and gradually revealed the truth that Fu Jiao was framed by Princess An and forced to leave.
Although she has not yet informed King An of this, she is already really disgusted with Princess An, and she may have had some respect in the past, but now she has no love left.
Zhou Jingrong persuaded: "So many years have passed, the prince and the princess respect each other like guests, and the two still have a little princess. Even if the old thing is brought up again, the prince will not divorce his wife! ”
Pei Deyin said: "Even if you can't divorce your wife, my father can also accept a side concubine!" Although I let Aunt Jiao be the side concubine, I was too wronged by her. ”
Zhou Jingrong opened her mouth, but she didn't know what else to say.
In modern times, it is rare for two fathers and sons to marry two mothers and daughters, but it does not violate the law and can be accepted.
But in ancient times, this kind of unethical thing could never be recognized and accepted by the world.
Zhou Jingrong didn't know that Fu Jiao strongly opposed the marriage between Lin Shutong and the prince, was it really as Pei Deyin thought, and he had no love for King An?
"Tong Niang, it's cold outside, why don't you go in, what are you doing standing outside?"
Fu Yunshen's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage, Zhou Jingrong raised his head suddenly, and glanced at Pei Deyin, both of whom were shocked in their eyes.
Pei Deyin was one step ahead of Zhou Jingrong and took the lead in getting out of the carriage, only to see Lin Shutong standing at the door of the car, and the maid had been sent far away by her, carrying a food box in her hand.
Thinking that she came to bring food to Zhou Jingrong, she accidentally heard the conversation between the two.
Pei Deyin was a little weak and wanted to explain something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Lin Shutong looked at Pei Deyin fixedly, his expression was flat, but his face was a little pale.
After a long time, she suddenly lifted her lips, raised a sad and mocking smile, and said lightly: "I see." ”
Lin Shutong turned around and left, and Pei Deyin hurriedly chased after him.
Zhou Jingrong also stepped out of the carriage, Fu Yunshen saw that she was wearing thin, hurriedly opened her big hat, wrapped her in his arms, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Jingrong said with a bitter face: "Tong Niang heard my conversation with Deyin and knew about the past between my aunt and King An......"
