Chapter 17: Empress Taimu's Birthday

The dark blue sky was so silent, so silent.

Yang Hanyue saw such a quiet night scene, she couldn't help but sigh: "The trees in Xiaolaiting are frosty, and the railings are cold." The jacket is still changed into a thin robe, and the shadow is long. Today green and thin, early plum fang, sparse a few yellow. In the old days, the flute was accompanied by a faint fragrance, who blew the intestines? ”

At this moment, the improvised poem may be the best way to express her inner feelings, seeing such a night scene, she can't help but feel sad, looking at the full moon, Yang Hanyue can't help but think that Yuwen Chengji has been so long, I don't know if he is okay.

She put on her cloak and walked out secretly, and unconsciously walked to the front of a palace, outside the palace, a tall and straight plane tree stood upright there, the golden plane leaves fell with the wind, and Li Shimin looked up at the sky with a smile: "Little cousin, I have planted this plane tree for you has experienced countless flowering and fruiting, but where are you, I want to hear you call me brother again." ”

Although Yang Hanyue, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't hear what he was talking about, he could see that he was also missing the person in his heart, and it was indeed dark in the sky.

Although the sound of her walking was very soft, the trees around her were still shaking from time to time, which was undoubtedly familiar to Li Shimin, who had been fighting on the march all year round, and he suddenly turned around and scolded: "Stop." ”

His body froze in place, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose slightly, and he said evilly: "Hanyue, it's past midnight, why are you still walking around this palace, you are not afraid of ......"

Yang Hanyue knew that she couldn't hide, so she slowly turned around: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"You won't be unaware that wandering around the palace at this time, once discovered, is the crime of killing the head."

Yang Hanyue was speechless by his words, looking at someone's smug look, she was not to be outdone: "That...... So why are you here? Are you a eunuch? ”

Yang Hanyue kept looking at him from head to toe, and Li Shimin approached her step by step: "Then do you want to try it." ”

This predicament made her feel as if she was a lamb to the slaughter, and she quickly pushed Li Shimin away: "No need. ”

There was still an evil smile on his face: "Hanyue, then tell me, why are you here?" ”

"That's because...... Because ......" how could she answer, if he said that he was still hanging out here at midnight, it would really be against the palace rules.

"That's because...... I'm hungry. Yang Hanyue muttered to herself, and the idea that came out of nowhere was casually said.

"It turns out that Hanyue is hungry." Li Shimin nodded knowingly, still looking at her evilly.

Yang Hanyue looked at Li Shimin's dangerous expression, how could she get over the panic, and nodded affirmatively.

Yang Hanyue suddenly felt that he was frozen by his eyes, and he couldn't move, and he had a flash of inspiration: "Why don't we go to the imperial dining room to steal something and eat it, and then we will share half of you." ”

Walked over and hung him on his shoulders, pulled him and went straight to the imperial dining room.

Li Shimin cooperated with Yang Hanyue and crept into the imperial dining room, and hid behind the cupboard with local materials.

Yang Hanyue's eyes poked out of the cupboard, and she saw the opportunity to take advantage of the crowd to bring down a plate of crystal cakes from the table.

"Eat quickly, there are so many crystal cakes in this place, and if there are five or six less, you won't be discovered." Pick up a piece of pastry and start eating.

Li Shimin took a piece of pastry and ate it, and didn't forget to joke with her: "Hanyue, I see that you are familiar with the way, and you are so skilled at stealing food, do you often come here to steal things to eat." ”

Yang Hanyue almost didn't choke when she heard what he said: "If it weren't for ...... I won't. ”

Forcibly swallowing the pastry that had been eaten in his mouth, he looked at him seriously and began to preach: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to the imperial dining room to steal something to eat." ”

The voices of the two men were really loud, alarming the kitchen who was working.

"Bold! Who dares to go to the imperial dining room to make a time. The Imperial Chef slowly approached them.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Yang Hanyue pulled Li Shimin and ran: "I was discovered, run." ”

"Stop." Hearing the imperial chef shouting, Yang Hanyue quickly ran out.

Li Shimin turned around domineeringly, and the imperial chef was taken aback and saluted: "See Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand to him, and the imperial chef respectfully retreated, and he turned around and chased out.

"Han Yue." Li Shimin chased after her and grabbed her.

"Are you alright? I thought you were caught. ”

"What can I do, I'm also the son of a dignified duke."

"You're worried about me?" Li Shimin looked at her wickedly.

"I didn't." Yang Hanyue lowered her head and casually denied it.

"Really?" Li Shimin walked behind her and bowed in her ear: "Women love duplicity." Turning his face sideways, he pecked lightly.

"I said, don't you really like to take advantage of girls?" Yang Hanyue touched her cheeks unexpectedly and chased after Li Shimin.

"Hanyue, you might as well marry me, so that it will be a smooth chapter, to be honest, my conditions are good, you can consider it."

"My Fair Lady, Gentleman." Dropping the sentence, he turned and walked away.

Spring went to autumn, and the whole palace was busy for the anniversary of Empress Taimu, and Sun Huiyan, the eldest in the imperial study, saluted with the list of sacrificial personnel: "The concubines see Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the list of entourages for the Empress Mother's Birthday, please take a look at it." The eldest grandson, Huiyan, handed him the list.

Li Shimin took the list and looked at it, and looked at the eldest grandson Huiyan: "Guanyin, don't bring so many people with you for the queen mother's birthday, you and Wei Yao, Yan Ji and Yang Ji and Zheng Ji can accompany you." ”

The eldest grandson Huiyan walked up to His Majesty Dan and sharpened the ink for him on the side: "Your Majesty, see if there is anything wrong." ”

"I think there's one more." Li Shimin wrote down Yang Hanyue's name.

The eldest grandson Huiyan stood next to him and read Yang Hanyue's name softly, smiled slightly and nodded: "The concubine immediately ordered someone to do it, please rest assured Your Majesty." ”

"Don't let her know that I let her go." After the eldest grandson Huiyan took the list away, he suddenly admonished.

The eldest grandson Huiyan turned around and saluted: "The concubine understands." ”

In the imperial study, only Li Shimin was left, and thinking of Yang Hanyue's smile, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned upward.

An elderly chamberlain came with an edict from the eldest grandson Huiyan to read it: "At the behest of the queen's mother: this time the Empress Taimu festival is short of manpower, and Yang Hanyue, the palace maid who is specially ordered to serve in the court, travels with her." ”

Yang Hanyue took the commandment, stood up and asked: "Father-in-law, please stay, the slave maid wants to ask who recommended the slave maid to travel with the car." ”

Yang Hanyue stuffed a jade bracelet to the waiter, and the waiter hurriedly shirked it: "The slave can't afford it, it is said that it is recommended by a nobleman." ”

"Noble? What a nobleman. ”

"I heard that it was the prince of Weiguo who recommended the girl to the queen's mother, and the girl will climb the dragon and attach the wind in the future, don't forget us."

The father-in-law of Wei Guo must be a son-in-law who is idle all day long, Li Jianwei, what kind of medicine is he selling in the gourd.

"Queen Mother, said that the girl can bring a palace maid with you."

"The minion has taken his leave."

"Congratulations to my father-in-law." Yang Hanyue saluted.

Everyone was talking about what this Yang Hanyue was coming from, and what good things were taken up by her, and the night duck next to her stared at Yang Hanyue and gritted her teeth.

"Han Yue, what the hell is going on." Cheng Ziqing hurriedly took her hand and asked.

"How do you know the son of the Weiguo family."

Yang Hanyue sat down: "Actually, it's nothing, just a friend." ”

At this moment, a certain woman was unhappy, and teased her three times and twice, but she really couldn't take this opportunity to sue the emperor, and she didn't play tricks on people so much.

"Just friends." Cheng Ziqing also sat down and asked.

"Is he interesting to you?"

Cheng Ziqing knows that being such a painstaking friend is definitely not an ordinary friend for Yang Hanyue.

"Impossible." Yang Hanyue hurriedly shook her head and denied it, stood up and her face changed greatly: "I don't agree with his birthday, how can it be, if I like him, unless the sun comes out in the west, I won't die." ”

Yang Hanyue and Cheng Ziqing followed the sacrificial procession and walked out of the palace in a grand and solemn manner.

Coming to the royal temple temple Ganye Temple, the civil and military officials stood respectfully on both sides in accordance with the prescribed order, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Huiyan stood side by side, and the accompanying concubines also stood behind them according to the level of rank, Wang De read out the sacrificial words on the left: "Taimu Empress Dou Shi, Gongxian De Kangzier sacrifice for a glorious thousand years, and the descendants of Wenwu sacrifice Taimu Queen for a thousand years." ”

After the sacrificial words were read, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Huiyan took the lead in paying respects, and all the civil and military officials and harem concubines standing below followed them closely behind to pay respects, and the people present were all respectful, invisibly showing the dignity and majesty of the royal family.

After the hardships of the long journey and the hardships brought to everyone by Queen Taimu's birthday, Yang Hanyue was ready to rest and rest, but who knew that Mo Yan actually walked in with Jinyu: "Hanyue, Jinyu Sizhen next to the queen's mother came to you for something." ”

Yang Hanyue stood up and shifted her gaze to Jinyu: "Miss Hanyue, the queen mother invites the girl to go and talk for a while." ”

The queen herself and her were only in a hurry, and although she had many doubts in her heart, she could only follow.

"Queen Mother, Miss Hanyue has arrived." Jinyu brought Yang Hanyue to the eldest grandson Huiyan.

"Jinyu, you go down first, this palace wants to talk to Miss Hanyue alone." Jinyu respectfully stepped back.

"See the Queen." Yang Hanyue knelt down and saluted.

"No courtesy."

"Hongu wants to give you something." The eldest grandson Huiyan took out a Bu Yao from the jewelry box and put it on for Yang Hanyue.

"Mother, don't dare to be a slave." Yang Hanyue knelt on the ground with a thud.

"This is given to you by this palace." The eldest grandson, Huiyan, lifted her up.

The eldest grandson Huiyan pulled Yang Hanyue to the dresser and sat down: "This palace will dress up for you!" ”

"Dress up well, it's really just the icing on the cake, no wonder ......"

Yang Hanyue in the bronze mirror combed the elegant makeup of the falling ponytail, with a few hostas and jade hairpins of Hetian jade to set off her dusty temperament, she couldn't help but smile when she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Han Yue, this Ganye Temple is not very familiar, you can accompany the palace to go out and have a look!" Yang Hanyue accompanied the eldest grandson Huiyan to walk around the Ganye Temple.

In the pavilion in the back garden of Ganye Temple, suddenly a breeze blew gently, Li Shimin rode a high-headed horse, dressed in a copper-colored riding costume and came slowly, his eyebrows and eyes were mixed with a bit of instrumentation and arrogance, and Yang Hanyue finally saw the true meaning of Mo Shanggongzi's unparalleled world in the breeze.

stepped off the horse and calmly walked in front of the eldest grandson Huiyan and said, "See the queen mother." ”

The eldest grandson Huiyan got up and asked with a smile: "Li Aiqing, I'm afraid I can't be idle like this!" ”

"It's still the queen's mother who knows the minister's temperament." With a slight gesture, he continued: "The minister is going to take the opportunity to go out hunting." ”

The eldest grandson Huiyan nodded and looked at Yang Hanyue: "Hanyue, you see Li Aiqing going hunting, should you send him a personal object to protect him." ”

Li Shimin walked up to Yang Hanyue: "Give me this hairpin first, and I'll return it to you when I come back." "Take off a jade hairpin from Yang Hanyue's bun.

"Give me back." Yang Hanyue padded her heels and tried to snatch the jade hairpin back from Li Shimin's hands.

"Yes, but ......" Li Shimin quickly wrapped his arms around Yang Hanyue's waist and hugged her onto the horse.

"Let me go."

"Are you sure?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Hanyue evilly, and his smile was a little meaningful.

Yang Hanyue suddenly remembered that Li Shimin still had his own pigtails in his hand, so he could only pretend to be obedient and stop talking.

"This is obedient, this is obedient." The person in his arms stopped talking, and Li Shimin drove away with her as if she had found a treasure.

What did this boy say, he was not a submissive little white rabbit who didn't have anything to do with listening to him, Yang Hanyue's eyes were full of anger, and he really wanted to beat him up to get angry.

Suddenly, Li Shimin dismounted: "Hanyue, get off the horse quickly." ”

Yang Hanyue said that he had endured a certain son-in-law brother again and again, and he couldn't bear it anymore and was thinking about how to retaliate against him, and there was an incomprehensible smile on the corner of his mouth.

He was already ready to draw his bow and shoot arrows, and turned his head to look at Yang Hanyue, who was still as motionless as a mountain: "Hanyue, do you want me to take you off the horse." ”

"No need." After coming back to his senses, Yang Hanyue got off the horse by himself.

A flock of geese flew in the sky, and Li Shimin pulled his bow and shot an arrow to successfully shoot down one of the geese.

Yang Hanyue looked at the usually unreliable son-in-law there, and he was still a good archer.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and looked at Yang Hanyue's surprised appearance: "Hanyue, do you want to learn?" ”

"I want to learn."

Li Shimin walked behind her and taught hand in hand: "Concentrate, see the target, and attack decisively." Assisting her to raise the bow, Yang Hanyue concentrated as he said, shot an arrow, and successfully hit the target and shot a wild goose.

"I didn't expect you to be unlearned."

"I have a lot of good points, and you can discover them slowly."

At the age of 18, he raised an army against the Sui, at the age of 21, the prince went to the king of Qin to worship the king of Zhongshu, and at the age of 23, he was awarded the title of general of Tiance and held the country's heavy army.

Li Shimin said so, she turned around and ran.

"Yo yo, Han Yue, we didn't see you today, where have you been, you are dressed so beautifully." The night duck kept looking at her when she was gorgeously dressed and wore some hair accessories in her hair.

Yun Yao next to her was shocked and made a bold guess: "You won't meet Your Majesty and seal a Zhaoyuan." ”

"No, I haven't even seen His Majesty since I entered the palace and have been named a concubine, and today I was taken advantage of by some sons and brothers." Yang Hanyue gritted her teeth when she said this, and walked back to the room angrily.
