Chapter 159: Birthday Gift (4)
A long time ago, Zhong Weiwei's dream was to defeat the old man of the Crane Festival.
Later, when the old man died, she dreamed of defeating Mei Xun, and years of hard work and perseverance were just for that moment.
Finally, she can fight on behalf of Liguo, why should she hold back?
Blood boiled in Zhong Weiwei's veins, she clenched her hands again and looked directly at Chonghua: "I will do my best." ”
Chonghua looked into Zhong Weiwei's eyes and saw the light and perseverance in her eyes.
The already tight string in his heart slammed up, and then fell heavily, pumping his heart to pieces, all of which were Zhong Weiwei.
He wanted to give her a little encouragement: "Although Mei Xun is a genius, you are not bad. If Qiu Ze was alive back then, he would probably be similar to you.
I used to know Akisawa very carefully, and you have many places and many ideas, which are very similar to him.
For example, your idea about loose tea, I once told you that when I was young, I traveled to the tea garden with my father and met a person.
He also said something similar, and I thought about it carefully later, and that person was the Daiji Cha Akisawa back then. ”
It was as if a cold hand had slowly stroked Zhong Weiwei's back, making her miserable and sad.
She sat up straight and said with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to encourage and comfort Wei Chen, that's why you say that?" ”
Chonghua shook his head: "No, it's true." ”
Zhong Weiwei was distraught, and quickly changed the topic in another direction: "This matter, after I entered Beijing, I have heard a little bit about it. ”
Chonghua mocked slightly: "It's said that the position of the imperial father is not legitimate." ”
Zhong Weiwei was silent.
When Chonghua was born, Emperor Yong was just an idle prince, and as the emperor's younger brother, he didn't seem to have any hope of succeeding to the throne.
But Emperor Yong took Chonghua away from Empress Dowager Wei early to raise him personally, and planned early, and before he inherited the throne, he sent Chonghua incognito to Cangshan to study.
She remembered that back then, her father-in-law would often open a small stove for Chonghua and teach him something alone, and she was not allowed to listen to it with her senior brother and senior sister, and Chonghua never had any explanation.
Now that I think about it, what Chonghua learned at that time should have been the way of the emperor.
This shows one thing, Emperor Yong has long known that Zhenzong will not be able to give birth to a child and will definitely die early, so he will make such a long-term arrangement.
It looks like a very big game of chess, and the people who play chess work step by step, and with decades of hard work, they finally create a Chonghua that is not bound by blood and family affection and dares to compete with Lu and Wei.
Zhong Weiwei looked at Chonghua's beautiful side face and felt that this Dongfang family had a lot of thieves.
Even Emperor Yong, who has always been kind and gentle, probably has a dark side that she doesn't know.
Seeing that she acquiesced, Chonghua didn't think it was wrong, but said calmly: "The person who played this game of chess is the emperor's grandfather." Only by doing so will Merriam-Webster and Lui not know what we are going to do, and when they understand that the wood is already in the boat. ”
The drum sounded on the third watch, the fine autumn rain drifted outside the window, the wine on the table was drunk, and everything that should not be said has been said.
Zhong Weiwei rubbed his face and stood up: "I drank too much, I can't do it, I have to go to sleep." ”
Seeing that Chonghua was still sitting still, he said, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to sleep?" ”
Chonghua nodded, got up and went out, he sat too long, drank too much, and actually stumbled when he got up.
It's so late, the autumn is cold and rainy, where else is he going?
Zhong Weiwei helped him and blurted out: "Where is Your Majesty going?" ”
Chonghua didn't look at her, and slowly withdrew his arm: "Go back to Zhaoren Palace." ”
He walked neatly, which made Zhong Weiwei stunned and inexplicably reluctant.
She called out to him: "Your Majesty......"
Chonghua turned around, there were sparks beating in his dark eyes, and what was hidden was expectation.
Zhong Weiwei didn't dare to look into his eyes, looked at the dark sky outside the door, and asked softly:
"Your Majesty has told Wechen a lot about Qiuze before, and Wechen wants to ask you, in your opinion, did Emperor Zhenzong wronged him?"
Chonghua was a little disappointed, but still answered her question seriously: "This kind of big event is not something that can assert right and wrong with a touch of lips, there must be conclusive evidence."
I was still young and didn't know much about it, but I heard from my imperial father that Emperor Zhenzong had evidence in his hand to prove that Qiu Ze had indeed done something he shouldn't have done, and he didn't have wronged him.
Although he is a talent, it is not a trivial matter to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and if it is me, I will not spare it. ”
"Oh." Zhong Weiwei squeezed out a faint smile and saluted him: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Chonghua saw that her smile looked particularly bleak under the light.
But when he looked closer, she was back to normal.
He nodded at Zhong Weiwei and strode away.
Zhong Weiwei stood in place in a daze, shook his head, and walked back to rest.
It was very quiet in the warm pavilion, and Xiaotang left a small lamp for her in the corner.
Zhong Weiwei blew out the small lamp, climbed into bed lightly, and as soon as he got into the quilt, he touched a small and soft body.
Yes and again, he curled up in her quilt, holding the corner of the quilt tightly with one hand, breathing lightly, sleeping soundly and sweetly.
Zhong Weiwei sighed, very melancholy.
Chonghua did what he said, and since this day, no one has ever bothered Zhong Weiwei with trivial matters, and even he seems to be much more well-behaved.
Many different kinds of tea were sent to the Pure Heart Hall in a steady stream, and all kinds of tea-related books were piled high in her small tea room.
She was finally able to meditate on the tea ceremony without any interruptions.
Regarding the affairs of Chonghua and the palace concubines, she did not deliberately inquire about them, and no one passed those things to her ears again.
The palace walls of the Pure Heart Hall separate the inside and the outside into two worlds.
Chonghua would occasionally come to inspect her skills, sit down and have a cup of tea with her calmly, chat about tea, and talk about it.
But more often, if he wants to see Youyou, he asks people to take him to Zhaoren Palace and send him back.
They are polite and polite to each other, no longer mentioning the wind and snow, no longer deliberately provoking each other, no different from ordinary monarchs and senior brothers and sisters.
It's just that Zhong Weiwei spent more and more time alone in a daze.
Xiaotang can often be seen holding a rare and precious flower in winter, spicy hands destroying the petals, and there are words in her mouth:
To, don't, do, don't......
Li Anren fussed and told Chonghua about this: "Zhong Tongshi is about to practice the tea ceremony and go crazy, right?" ”
Chonghua put down the red pen in his hand, looked up at the lead-gray sky, hooked the corners of his lips, and let people appreciate Zhao Hongtu again.
Thanks to Zhao Hongtu for waking him up, he pressed too hard and pushed too hard, which backfired.
Let it go a little, be cold, and not too cold, there will really be surprises.
Zhong Weiwei's seemingly indestructible heart of iron and stone was finally shaken.
This year's winter was spent in silence.
Without Zhong Weiwei's early bird poking his eyes, all the palace concubines seemed to be much calmer.
Since Hu Zizhi, no one has been summoned.
The palace concubines dressed up in fancy clothes and wandered around, wanting to create a romantic encounter with the new emperor.
However, the new emperor basically does not enter the harem, and occasionally enters the palace, either to see the Empress Dowager Wei, or to go to Wei Rou or Lu Chun to sit there, with a pleasant face, but he never stays for a long time. (To be continued.) )
