Chapter 12 Ascendancy
It was the most wonderful moment of his life.
As an emperor, his childhood life was lacked and painful, and his adult life was heavy and constrained.
He has always been like an eagle, always vigilant, and does not dare to slack off.
And at this moment, he was finally able to relax, hold the person he liked, and enjoy the joy of victory.
Wayward and indulgent.
There are thousands of tours, just for the tranquility and beauty of this moment.
The hourglass fell, and time passed in my ears.
Two hours later, he got up and dressed, and wrapped the man tightly in his robe, and his eyes were beautiful and delicate.
She hugged him and snuggled up to him.
Yin Jian has already decided that he must give her a name this time. Even if...... It's the most humble color girl.
When the Queen Mother arrived at Chenyang Palace, it was already too late. She knew her son too well.
A stream of blood ran up from her chest to her temples, and then she fell to the palace gate with a burst of dizziness.
After Emperor Yin learned the news, he rushed to Chenyang Palace overnight to visit, but before he could enter the door, he was blocked by Yingyan.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
"How's the queen mother? I went in and saw her. ”
"The Queen Mother just woke up and said that if the emperor came up, there would be no need to see her again."
I knew that this was the end...... He still didn't give up.
"What does the Imperial Doctor say? Is there a big problem with the queen mother's health? ”
"The imperial doctor said that the queen mother was in a hurry, causing the qi and blood to go retrograde, and she needed to recuperate quietly, and she really couldn't be stimulated anymore."
"That'...... I went in to see the Queen Mother. ”
Aunt Ying took the first step, blocked in front of him, and knelt down straight, her face was gentle and resolute, but her voice was a little cold and hard.
"Emperor Mingjian, why is the Queen Mother like this today? Her old man is extremely angry, which leads to extreme anger, if you go in at this moment, the queen mother will relapse from her old illness, and when the time comes, ...... I'm afraid that the imperial doctors are helpless. ”
"That ......"
His lips seemed to be glued, and his mouth was astringent, and after a long time, he was unable to say a word.
"Then there is Aunt Lao to take care of the queen mother and son...... I'll come back to see her old man another day. ”
Yin Jian was sad in his heart, mixed tastes, lifted the corners of his robe, and bowed solemnly in the direction of the hidden queen's bedroom.
"I have ordered the Imperial Physician to serve the Queen Mother with all their might."
"The emperor is benevolent and filial, it's not easy, it's just that you don't have a mirror in your heart, the root of the queen mother's illness is not here, the weather is cold and heavy, please return to the palace as soon as possible and take care of the dragon's body. There will be an early dynasty tomorrow, and state affairs are important. ”
"Yes, please tell my aunt on your behalf, and ......"
"Let's just say that my son misses his mother very much."
A speech outside is heard clearly inside.
Under the lead-gray black sky, a cold wind howled, and in the quiet distance, the sound of branches cracking could be heard from the air, mixed with the crackling sound of candlelight burning in the hall.
The Queen Mother's head hurt and gently touched her forehead with her hand.
The girl Lingshuang is serving her to drink ginseng soup.
Seeing Yingyan coming in, she slowly opened her eyes and said lightly, "He's gone?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has just left Chenyang Palace."
She glanced at Ling Shuang.
"Go down, and there will be no one left in the temple."
"Yes."
The hall was empty and quiet.
"The emperor is young, he is self-willed, the mourning family has planned for him for half his life, and he has worked hard for ten years, and it was not easy to survive until he ascended the throne...... With bitter hatred. ”
"The emperor is still young, and it is inevitable that there will be careless omissions, but in time, he will understand."
"Alas......"
She pushed away the ginseng soup that Yingyan had brought to her mouth.
"It's not that the mourners are mean, it's just that this thing...... It's really ugly! ”
Perhaps she was too excited, and she coughed and gasped a few times in quick succession.
"Since ancient times, the whip has been merciless, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the hearts of the people inside and outside the court have been ups and downs, he is like this...... The grandiose place is criticized, the Son of Heaven is immoral, so that the relatives are painful, and the enemies are happy! ”
"I think back then, when the mourning family was in the General's Mansion with you, I almost couldn't survive several times, and finally waited until Jian'er was born, and it was also a disaster and a disaster, and there was no peace."
She looked at Yingyan with trust and gratitude in her eyes.
"If it weren't for your faithfulness to protect the Lord, I'm afraid the mourning family would ...... I can't live to this day. ”
was reminded of the past by the Queen Mother, and Yingyan's expression was also a little sad.
"After the death of the Liang Dynasty, the first emperor came to the top. After establishing the Xiao family, the Xiao family was beautiful, but he did not have an heir for many years, which caused turmoil in the imperial court, and the favorite concubines fought constantly, which eventually led to the change of ownership of the middle palace. ”
"The mourning family was a dancing girl in the teaching workshop, it was rare to see the face of the sky, but unfortunately met the first emperor, and lived with a concubine after being pampered, because of the appearance was a little exquisite, and the lotus dance, it was hated by Concubine Jiang......"
At the mention of this woman, her tone turned cold.
"At that time, her mother's family was powerful, the saints were favored, arrogant and willful, and intended to be in the back position, where could she tolerate others?"
Speaking of the back, she changed her tiredness, and the mark in her eyes showed endless hatred.
"The slut is bold ...... When the first emperor left the palace, he wanted to sell me...... If you hadn't broken into the palace and sacrificed your life to save ......"
Yingyan put down the ginseng soup, half comforting and half jealous.
"Concubine Jiang's intentions are really vicious, so the retribution is unhappy, the Jiang family is full of beheading, and all the family members are confiscated as slaves. If Concubine Song hadn't joined forces with us back then, we wouldn't have been able to ...... so quickly."
"She's just trying to protect herself."
Speaking of Concubine Song, the Queen Mother regained her former majesty.
"This is nature."
"The old body went from being a dancing girl to half of his life, and he survived to the position of the queen mother today, and there must not be the slightest difference!"
When the Queen Mother said that she was excited, she coughed violently again, Yingyan hurriedly patted her back, and found a middle coat to put on for her.
"You take care of yourself."
She gasped, her voice fierce and resolute.
"Since the old body has protected him for so many years, and he is not afraid to deal with him again, no matter what, the country is unshakable, and the country is ...... The national foundation is also unshakable. Even, he hated me all my life. ”
"Yingyan."
"The slave is here."
"Tomorrow you will do something for the mourning family."
……
Returning from Chenyang Palace to Huayang Palace, Emperor Yin always had a depressed face, and he didn't even sit on Diluan, and came on foot all the way.
Entering the hall, he was still bored, staring at the stack of folds on the Qingyu case, in a daze.
The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to it?
Three glasses and two lamps under the stomach, the wine is strong, raise a glass to eliminate sorrow.
There are more than a dozen pieces of waste paper on the ground, which have been cleaned by the minions, and when he thinks of the queen mother and the etiquette system of this world, his heart is mixed with mixed tastes, and it is difficult to say.
Why can't you have both?
As the wine entered the bowels, a hot air rushed up. 、
Emperor Yin's mood, which was still depressed just now, gradually became frantic at this moment.
He pulled the edict, took the purple hair on the pen stand, dotted the ink, splashed the ink, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced.
On the bright yellow silk, in an instant, it became an edict:
"In the past, Chu's family, thousands of autumns are stunning, they are full of promises, they are sorrowful, they are gentle, they are in Xinfang, they are constantly improving, they are in the downtown and they are alone, they have both virtue and glory, and they are very happy, from now on, they will be named concubines and live in Canghai Pavilion."
After thinking about it for a while, the tip of the pen erased the word "court concubine" and changed it to "court talent".
"Go...... Go to the inner court and pick up a few good things and give them to the court...... Jiu'er sent it and told her that I would see her again tomorrow. ”
"Yes."
Xiao Xiazi nodded and bowed, and immediately went to do it.
"Slow ......"
"Go to Fengqi Pavilion to pass on my message, and let the queen personally preside over the canonization ceremony."
The next morning, at five o'clock.
The night was dark, and the earth had not yet awakened.
The surrounding cold air is forested, wrapping people in groups, and the palace is quiet, and the snowflakes are falling, covering the dim palace lamps outside the corridor with bright white.
Aunt Ying took a few mothers-in-law and secretly went out through the back door, only taking a shortcut, and quietly came to Xuanhua Gate.
She brought out the steward, her face gloomy and serious.
"Queen Mother Yizhi, take the dancing Ji Chu Jiu, go quickly!"
The aunt in charge looked embarrassed, stood in place, unable to move her footsteps, and looked frightened and anxious.
"Auntie, it's really ...... The slaves and maids couldn't make a difference, and at the third watch today, the pipa beside Concubine Song took people away...... This little lord is indeed not here now. ”
Aunt Ying frowned, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, glanced at the other party coldly, and left in a hurry with someone.
When he returned, the Chenyang Hall was already in charge.
The Queen Mother was half-crooked in the couch, and on the small table on the side, there was still a large bowl of unused ginseng soup.
Ling Shuang brought the spoon to her mouth.
She waved her hand lightly, picked up the hot tea, and slowly brushed it with the lid of the cup. The crowd withdrew.
"Yingyan, what do you say?"
"Slave maid...... It's still a step too late. ”
That shrewd gaze sparkled, and for a moment, it had already guessed.
"She has always been unconscious, and the mourning family should have been guarded against a long time ago, causing trouble to Xiao Wall, carelessly underestimating the enemy, this time we miscalculated."
Ying Yan stood aside and buried her head lower.
"It's the slave's negligence."
The Queen Mother shook her head. , the expression is still faint.
"I don't blame you...... The days are still long, find a few solid minions to keep an eye on. ”
"Yes."
After the early dynasty, Emperor Yin hurried to Chenyang Palace by Luanyu, but the Queen Mother still avoided it.
He stood outside the palace for a while, feeling bored and bored, so he hurriedly went to Yumen Xuan.
Hearing the report, Concubine Song's ruddy lips pulled a smug smile.
"Look, isn't this coming?"
"Greetings to the Holy One."
Emperor Yin hurriedly helped him and said with concern: "Concubine, please get up, don't be polite." ”
"I haven't come to visit the concubine for a long time, I don't know if my body is okay? Can it still smell good when eating? ”
"Thank you for the emperor's thoughts, everything is fine in this palace."
Emperor Yin opened and closed the ink fan in his hand, and saw that she looked happy, but he just greeted her without asking about the intention.
Sure enough, it was an old fox.
"The concubine has been listening to music and dancing very much lately?"
She smiled, not seeing anything unusual on her face, and her tone was gentle.
"The snow is deep and the palace is dull, and I heard that Xuanhuamen has newly practiced singing and dancing, so I will have some fun."
He didn't like such hypocrisy and wrongdoing, so he went straight to the point.
"I heard that during the third watch last night, the concubine brought my newly sealed palace concubine into the palace?"
Hearing this, Concubine Song seemed to be suddenly shocked, looked at the pipa serving beside her, looked puzzled, and her face was full of surprise.
"Is there such a thing? Why doesn't Hongu know? ”
"Didn't Niangniang panic yesterday and want to listen to the music? The slave and maid let the punishment be arranged, and for some reason, they only came after the third watch...... People are in the backyard. ”
Pipa smiled and suddenly looked at Emperor Yin.
"It's just that there are ten girls here, and the slaves and maids haven't looked carefully, I don't know if there are any new concubines among them......"
Concubine Song immediately shouted:
"What are you doing? Bring everyone up! ”
"Holy ......," Concubine Song stopped talking, "I heard...... The saint pampered a dancing girl yesterday? ”
Emperor Yin's expression was staggered, and he knew her intentions.
"That's the man."
"Although the dancing girl is a lowly person, but the temperament of the people is different, Da herself is the princess of Yousu, but she has become a disaster for the country and the people; Although Wei Zifu is a singer of the Pingyang Houfu, he did not mistake to create a prosperous era with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty......"
"Wei Zifu later became the queen, and now that the mother of the country is newly established, the meaning of the saint is not very clear to the palace."
Realizing that he had lost his words, Emperor Yin's expression was scornful, he raised his cup and took a sip, and coughed dryly twice.
He was a little weak-hearted, and deep down, why didn't he have this kind of thought?
"The shape is different but the meaning is similar, what I said is just a truth."
Concubine Song smiled, didn't say a word, her face was still bustling, and she said shallowly:
"In the past, the Empress Wu was in power, the children and grandchildren of the Li family were all wiped out, everyone was in danger, the princesses Zhao and Liu were not safe, and the dancing girl was just a concubine."
She glanced at Emperor Yin, her expression a little complicated.
"Hongu heard...... This incident made the Queen Mother angry, the emperor, although the status of the palace is low, but it can also understand the heart of the Queen Mother's fist and love son, since ancient times, she has been proud of her beauty, and those who defile the palace abound, and you must not guard against it. ”
Emperor Yin had already been impatient with what he heard, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"What the concubine said, I will consider it, but this dancing girl has been fortunate and innocent, not as unbearable as rumored, nor can it be called a filthy harem, it should be treated well and given a name."
The gaze was dignified, with an irreversible majesty.
"Pet but not right, that's the real 'filthy harem'."
"I see, that's what the palace is thinking, it's better not to be surprised."
As he was talking, he saw Pipa leading a group of women, bright red and green, and Luo Guan came up to the hall.
"Mother, someone has been brought."
He lifted his eyes, glanced around quickly, and saw the man.
A hanging heart finally let go.
"Sure enough...... This was originally a holy person, but now it is back to Zhao. ”
"Thank you, Princess."
Seeing that she had the intention of getting up and bowing off, Emperor Yin waved his hand to stop her.
"The concubine stays, the weather is cold, you take care of your body, you don't have to send it."
The night was dark, and the wind was howling, like a thousand ghosts calling out.
There was a small "rustle" sound in the distance, and Yingyan carried a glass palace lamp, brought the queen mother's message, and came at night.
"Chu Jiu's status is low, and in terms of status, it is already very high for Cai Girl."
"Keerchen has already made an order......
"Your Majesty", Ying Yan's tone was incomprehensible, "The canonization ceremony has not yet passed." ”
Yin Jian's heart sank. Or not...... Or not......
"Yes, the son obeys his mother's will."
Seeing that someone was leaving, he asked in a panic:
"Auntie...... The mother's illness is better? ”
"The emperor can rest assured, the queen mother is not an unreasonable person, but the road is difficult and dangerous, these many things, the emperor needs to think twice, since ancient times, it is easy to start a business, it is difficult to keep a business, the queen mother ...... It's also difficult for her to be an old man. ”
As he spoke, the corners of Emperor Yin's eyes were already moist.
How could he not know?
Love and kindness have been taboo for emperors since ancient times.
The next day, Xiao Xiazi summoned Chu Jiu, the dancer of the Jin Sect Dance Workshop, as a colorful girl, named "Chao", and immediately moved to Canghai Pavilion.
