【Chapter 16: Calyx Brothers】(1)
Just called a "general", and she was so happy? In that case, he will call her the same in the future. Li Longji thought like this and asked, "What is the matter with Lu Gong, he also came to me before, when Gorou was sick, he passed over, and he hasn't remembered it since then - but the same thing?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan nodded, and then told Li Longji about Lu Huaishen's worries.
Li Longji frowned and said, "Should he think that I treat him as a pawn in the game with Yao Wei and the others?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan sighed: "If that's the case, Lu Gong can still be happier." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
For Li Longji's humble request for advice, Xiao Jiangyuan felt very fresh. It's been a long time, Li Longji has been arrogant to her, she is half a point sluggish, he can say that she is born stupid. Although she is a strict teacher and a high apprentice, and her temper has always been good, there is a limit to her patience. Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's time for him to be stupid.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan but smiling silently, Li Longji sensed that something was wrong: "You are talking." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan reminded: "The Xianchi Hall has arrived, let's go and visit Concubine Xian first." ”
Li Longji did not doubt him, so he went straight into the Xianchi Palace. As soon as he entered the temple, he heard the soft and glutinous baby cry, and his heart softened all of a sudden. When he saw his infant daughter clearly, Li Longji was a little more happy: "This child is really a president, but he is the most beautiful of my daughters." ”
Because she gave birth to a daughter, Wu Guanyue is not not lost. But her daughter was born by herself, she responded to the auspicious omen, and she was born so good-looking, she was a new mother, so she quickly left the side behind and focused on her daughter.
Queen Wang and a group of concubines were also there, hearing Li Longji say this, no one was dissatisfied, and they looked at each other and laughed, which made Li Longji stunned, he hugged his daughter, looked back at Wu Guanyue, and wanted to inquire with his eyes, but he didn't want Wu Guanyue to cover his lips and chuckle, but he didn't take what he just said seriously.
Why are there so many things I can't figure out today? Li Longji handed his daughter back to the nurse and sat down awkwardly: "Queen, what do you say?" ”
Seeing that Li Longji was in a temper, several young concubines who had been in the service for a short time immediately retracted their voices, but saw that the concubines who had been with the Son of Heaven since the Qiandi were still smiling and moaning, much more relaxed. They were worried and puzzled, so they saw Queen Wang walk to the Son of Heaven and sit down, and said while pouring tea for the Son of Heaven: "We are naturally laughing at San Lang - San Lang is not angry, this is no wonder us, who made San Lang every time a daughter is born, he has to say Fang Cai's words again?" ”
Li Longji categorically didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but recall it carefully, and asked uncertainly: "Will I be?" ”
Seeing that Queen Wang and the concubines all nodded again and again, Li Longji turned his head to Wu Guanyue on the couch for confirmation, but saw that Wu Guanyue couldn't help but smile and nodded helplessly. Li Longji unconsciously cleaned up his face, cleared his throat, and listened to Wu Guanyue: "The princesses are beautiful one by one, this is a good thing. The concubine watched the increasing number of princes in the palace and the increasing number of princesses, presumably San Lang is a man with many sons and grandchildren, and now he sees that the children are also very good, so he should thank God for his protection. ”
Queen Wang continued: "What Concubine Xian said is very true. The concubine is looking for an auspicious day, and together with the concubines, she will go to the Golden Immortal Temple of the Golden Fairy Princess to pray for blessings, praying for the birth of a better prince and princess in the coming day. ”
Seeing that his wife and concubine were harmonious, Li Longji was very satisfied, so he relieved his face: "That's not necessary." There are so many of you, Jin Xian will have a headache. Besides, the summer is coming, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I saw that Aya and Princess Xue were a little unbearable, so I planned to move to Daming Palace next month to escape the heat. ”
This news made everyone in the hall happy. Although the Taiji Hall is good, the terrain is low, and when it rains in summer, it is damp and tight, and they have lived with Li Longji on the throne for several years, and they have a sore back and legs, and they really have enough to live. Daming Palace is a good place, I think it was the emperor and the queen of heaven to recuperate for themselves to escape the summer, and the best things were used when they were rebuilt, neither old, but also much larger than Taiji Palace.
Seeing that the wives and concubines were happy, Li Longji was also happy: "After the palace is moved, the queen has to divide everyone's residences." As he spoke, he leaned close to Queen Wang's ear and said softly, "Concubine Xian had just come out of the moon at that time, and her body had not yet recovered, so arrange a better place for her." ”
The concubines only said that the Son of Heaven and his wife had a deep affection, especially when they saw the queen's head, they felt that the husband and wife were more interesting, but they were not jealous or jealous. After all, they are queens, and they are just concubines, and the difference in status is very different. The Son of Heaven flirts with his wife, that is called the love of the emperor and the queen, the blessing of the country, if the Son of Heaven flirts with these concubines in front of everyone one day, it will not have a good reputation.
Regardless of whether the Son of Heaven cares about fame or not, they have grown up with a good education since childhood, and they have become concubines, and they can no longer be ordinary women, they can have personality, and they have to have fame—even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about the other sisters in the clan.
Only the queen herself knows that the love is still there, but it is no longer the same after all.
Fortunately, everything is peaceful in the palace, and her mother's family has been much more honest since the master, if she can have her own flesh and blood, it will be complete. The queen couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen, secretly wondering: Why has it not moved......
There were many people in the hall, so it was a little hotter than outside. Li Longji saw that his daughter was so hot that he arched his arms outward, so he asked Queen Wang and the others to go back to their dormitory first. Before the queen left, there was sweat flowing down her forehead, and the palace people around her just took out the silk handkerchief to help her wipe it, but her hand slipped, and the silk handkerchief fell to the ground.
Queen Wang thanked her, and just as she was about to take it, she saw that in a flash, Xiao Jiangyuan's silk handkerchief fell into the hands of Li Longji, who was chasing after her. Afterwards, Li Longji took out the handkerchief he was carrying, wiped the sweat of Queen Wang in person, and said, "Don't use hers, use mine." ”
The queen was flattered, and couldn't help but think of the days when she was just married, and finally left happily and sweetly. After sitting alone with Wu Guanyue for a while, Li Longji left the Xianchi Palace.
As soon as he left the palace, Li Longji threw the silk handkerchief back to Xiao Jiangyuan: "You like to give away the handkerchief so much?" Gorou also sent it, and the queen also sent it, shouldn't it be your handkerchief, there is one side in this palace, right? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly covered the silk handkerchief that almost slipped off his chest, and said puzzledly: "It's just a gesture, and it's just a handkerchief, how can everyone think so, isn't it...... Do you think that the minister's veil is not worthy of the nobles? ”
"General Xiao's veil, why is it not worthy? But I won't. The queen just gave the handkerchief to Gorou, what's the matter......"
“…… Isn't there a saying of 'handkerchief handkerchief'? ”
"You think that's about you and Gorou?" Li Longji said angrily, and after speaking, his eyebrows were raised, "Huh? Have you always felt that you and Gorou are handkerchiefs? Before the words fell, Li Longji nodded suddenly, "It's okay, it's good that you think so." But even so, don't give your silk handkerchief to anyone else in the future, no one can. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan tilted his head and raised the corners of his lips: "Everyone's not good?" ”
Li Longji said: "I want your handkerchief to be used by you, just can't take it." As he spoke, he took his hand and covered Xiao Jiangyuan on his chest, and the silk handkerchief that he hadn't had time to put away was pulled out and put away in his cuffs, "As for Lu Gong's matter, you can figure it out, what I don't understand." If you want to pinch me, I won't tell me, and I won't ask you. ”
In June of the second year of Kaiyuan, after Li Longji obtained the understanding of Emperor Li Dan, in order to stabilize the court, he temporarily demoted his brothers to the history of Sizhou, and then moved from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace with his family and the court.
Emperor Li Dan and Concubine Xue lived in Hanliang Palace, Li Longji lived in Zichen Palace, Queen Wang lived in Penglai Pavilion, Wuguanyue lived in Ayaqi Palace, and the rest of the concubines lived in various places in the inner court.
Since these days, there has been a strong wind in Chang'an, and several trees on both sides of Suzaku Street have been uprooted. At first, Li Longji thought that there was another natural disaster, and he was worried for a while, until the news of the harvest was reported in various places, and he was relieved. After several years of natural disasters since his accession to the throne, Li Longji finally had a year of happiness, which Li Longji cherished very much and was even more happy.
In addition to being happy, in order to show his frugality and virtue, he just moved into the Daming Palace, and burned the pearl and jade in front of the Zichen Palace, in order to show his determination to govern the country diligently and thriftily, and because he heard that the people said that he was going to enter the civil beauty pageant, he simply went the opposite way and released a large number of palace people to prove his innocence. In August, he also suspended the ban on Kabuki.
Seeing that the emperor was so diligent, he didn't think about wealth and pleasure, the concubines of the inner court sang and sang with their husbands, and the courtiers of the foreign court were more effective imitators, and the whole country was clear for a while.
In such a thriving atmosphere, the death of Wu Guanyue's eldest daughter is insignificant. But even so, Li Longji was still very sad, because this daughter's spiritual position had been surrounded by colorful clouds, and he posthumously named his daughter as the princess of Shangxian, hoping that after she broke off this bitter fate, she would really be able to become an immortal.
At present, medicine is not yet developed, and there are many young children who die young, and if there are five children in a family, it is good to grow up to three. Wu Guanyue's own body is not very strong, and the princess of Shangxian is congenitally insufficient, and her untimely death is expected. It's just that as a mother, every time Wu Guanyue sees her daughter live for a day, she feels that the risk of dying is less, so when the result appears, she can't accept this reality for a long time.
She can only eat hard, nourish with her heart, let her body get better as soon as possible, and hope that the next child will not die early because of her.
As soon as September, Li Longji asked his brother to come back from other places, and let them still live in the Five Princes' Mansion, but the eldest brother Li Xian refused, and asked him to build the Five Princes' Mansion as a palace and change Xingqingfang to Xingqing Palace. The place where the emperor lived when he was long Qian, since it was different from other places, it was not impossible to rebuild it into a palace, and since Yao Chong entered the main political hall, the emperor really listened to Yao Chong's words, and Li Xian's request was quickly passed by the entire imperial court.
But in this case, where do his brothers live?
