Chapter 32: The Boy That Year
"Then the king protects the concubine, the immoral and corrupt queen, doesn't he think he is a faint king?" Xiao Ruyue did not show weakness.
Yuwen He only paused when he heard this, and then smiled again: "Rumors stop at the wise." I believe that my queen is a woman who is beautiful and wise, and she is not comparable to ordinary women. The queen has not lost her morality, how can I be a faint king? ”
This is such a high-sounding statement.
Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but wonder.
"The king's ability to speak eloquently is not comparable to ordinary men, oh no, this should be called Chrysostom and Yuyan, and the tongue is full of lotus flowers."
Yu Wenhe couldn't help but be surprised, and quipped: "The queen's three-inch incorruptible tongue is also willing to bow down, don't blame His Majesty Tanglin for choosing you in the end." ”
A princess should have something or not, she has it all, such a strange woman, one out of ten thousand.
"You've won the prize." Xiao Ruyue bowed to him and accepted all his compliments.
"Okay, don't be poor, eat first, and after lunch, I have something to discuss with you."
After lunch, Yu Wenhe and Xiao Ruyue discussed in the room for most of the hour, and all the others retreated.
No one knows what the queen said in it.
But after Yu Wenhe left, Xiao Ruyue called Shen Liang to him and whispered something.
Before Shen Liang received the order to leave, he also asked Liangqiu Yayin to take care of the queen mother.
Later, Xiao Ruyue arranged some errands for Yinlin, and asked her to arrange and take care of it, so as usual, she checked the accounts and trivial chronicles of the harem, and reviewed and processed them in time.
It was a little too quiet in the Invite Feng Palace.
"Green clothes, send someone to the Wei Palace, just say that the palace is in good shape today, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, please invite Princess Wei to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers."
The green-clothed hand who was grinding ink couldn't help but stop, "Niangniang, but the green-clothed princess of Wei always looks like she has nothing to do, and she likes to show off, don't let her enter the palace again?" ”
"You unobtrusive girl, you want this palace to send you back, right? Go by yourself and invite Princess Wei into the palace. ”
Green knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, bit his lip, and went out honestly.
The Wei Palace, which was only two streets away from the palace, entered the palace by Yao Ziyan.
She is still as well dressed as ever.
In order not to be inferior in front of the queen mother, a young woman in her prime for two years, Yao Ziyan can be said to have put a lot of thought into it.
She paid extra attention to her makeup and clothes, and she looked much younger.
Xiao Ruyue thought of the Rejuvenation Immortal Pill that Liang Qiu Yayin said, and secretly laughed in her heart: At the cost of not being able to have children, just to try to shine brightly for a while, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst and bring about your own destruction!
Yao Ziyan saluted Xiao Ruyue, and the moment she got up and looked up after the salute, her eyes fell on Xiao Ruyue's young Ai Jiaoyan's face, and a trace of jealousy and hatred quickly flashed in her eyes.
Women's youth is fleeting, Rao has a rejuvenating elixir, she can't compare to this nine-year-old age.
Situ Min looks very good, his eyes are like spring water, his face is like peach and plum, his skin is like clotted fat, not to mention men, women will feel pity when they see it.
Yu Wencheng Lian prides himself on being suave and suave, and he is also very blue-eyed to her, if one day Yuwen Chenglian ascends to the throne of God, this woman is still alive, and there will be nothing to do with her Yao Ziyan!
Thinking of this, Yao Ziyan's hand hidden in the wide sleeve clenched into a fist.
Although the emotions in Yao Ziyan's eyes flashed, Xiao Ruyue did not miss it.
A sneer disappeared in her heart, and she casually walked with Yao Ziyan in the Imperial Garden.
The scale of the Imperial Garden is slightly inferior to that of the Wei Palace.
Yao Ziyan put on a lofty posture from beginning to end, commenting on the landscape furnishings of the Imperial Garden.
It's not good here, it's not good there; There's something missing, there's more; The pool is small, and it is not as cool as the palace when summer comes.
Xiao Ruyue nodded most of the time, smiling silently, expressing her disappointment in the imperial garden after seeing the magnificent back garden of the palace with her own eyes.
Yao Ziyan was particularly proud. Although she had tried her best to restrain her smugness, it was not difficult to see from the expression on her face that was about to be full of laughter.
Walking along the winding path of the garden, I "accidentally" heard the whispers of the palace people hiding in the corner.
The content of this whisper is not sideline, it is exactly what happened in the morning.
Yao Ziyan's expression was very subtle, but she didn't say anything.
Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly, and she had the right to do nothing. In order to find a reason for Yao Ziyan to take the news out of the palace, she took a lot of unjust roads.
The Rejuvenation Immortal Pill comes from the Red Sleeve Building, and it is extremely difficult to make, Yao Ziyan has taken the Rejuvenation Immortal Pill for a long time, she has nothing to do with the Red Sleeve Building, as for Ye Haitang, it still needs to be verified.
But the mystery of the Empress Dowager is about to come out.
Early the next morning, the queen's rudeness to the empress dowager spread far and wide, and it spread outside the palace walls, causing a lot of uproar.
For a time, the city was full of wind and rain.
More than half of the courtiers, led by the two Zaifu, jointly signed a letter, asking the king to give an explanation.
The gist of it is: the Empress Dowager is the queen of the first emperor, who has gone through three dynasties and is highly respected. Although the queen is the princess of Tanglin, she is also too deceitful! Without a reasonable explanation, the matter must not be settled.
The crowd was excited.
Yu Wenhe said lightly: "Everything in the harem has its own palace rules to follow, and whether the queen handles Mama He properly or not, you have to ask the palace rules before discussing it." As for what the Qing family said, the queen despises the queen mother and has no respect for the elders, where does this start? The Empress Dowager is the grandmother of the emperor of me, and the grandmother of the queen, the queen is the sister of His Majesty Tanglin, the worry-free princess of the Son of Heaven, and marrying into my Daxia is my mother of the country, the princess and the mother of the country, how can you not understand the way of respecting the elderly? ”
As soon as Yu Wenhe's words came out, those indignant courtiers were quiet. You look at me, I look at you, look at each other, can't answer.
"Alright, that's the end of it." Yu Wenhe's tone did not fluctuate, and he added: "Rumors stop at the wise." ”
Rumors stop at the wise.
Whoever says that there is no basis for it is a fool.
Who wants to admit that they are sexually stupid?
Yu Wenhe succeeded in getting the courtiers to shut up.
By the time of the next dynasty, the monarch's feat of "protecting his wife" in the court had been passed to the Invite Feng Palace.
Yu Wenhe was even more down, and he didn't even change his court clothes and went straight to the Invite Feng Palace.
Yin Lin was talking to Xiao Ruyue about the things in the morning, and he came in. Because he didn't let his subordinates pass the word, he also startled Xiao Ruyue when he came in.
Yinlin saw the main lord coming, and he didn't need the master's order, so he dragged the green clothes away.
Xiao Ruyue pressed her heart and breathed slowly.
"The king of my country is in your palace to invite the phoenix, and he really doesn't look like an emperor." Yu Wenhe sat beside her and said without a beginning.
Xiao Ruyue looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yu Wenhe suddenly stared at her seriously: "Min'er, you say, if one day, I mean if there is a day, I am not the emperor, will you be willing to leave with me?" ”
"What did you say? You are not the emperor, who is the emperor? Xiao Ruyue pretended not to understand.
"I mean, if. If I am not the monarch of Great Xia, would you be willing to leave this palace with me and be an ordinary couple? ”
The serious look shocked Xiao Ruyue's heart, and the feeling of déjà vu came like a tide.
Xiao Ruyue hurriedly stabilized her mind, and said casually, "Forgive the concubine for being disrespectful, the monarch is already the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom, unless the dragon controls Bintian, the monarch will always be the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom." When it comes to the king's guests, Min'er is also dying, and you leave the palace with you, and be an ordinary couple, where to start? ”
Yu Wenhe smiled faintly at her, but the smile reached the bottom of her eyes: "A woman once told me that life is long and short, living for fame and fortune, mediocrity, and in the end, it will be empty; Living for the monstrous power, the camp is empty; It's better to live for yourself, be willful, and be at ease. ”
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ruyue.
These words were like a thunderclap on the head.
Xiao Ruyue had the illusion of being seen through in a trance.
She said these things. Years ago, she said to a young boy who had collapsed in front of her house.
That winter, the snow was very heavy, and on the day of the Laba Festival, she was going to sneak out to see the excitement, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw the young man lying outside the back door of her house in thin clothes, his little face was bruised from the cold, and he almost lost consciousness.
But his eyes kept wide, looking at her, and the ink pupils stared at her without turning around, as if to say: Help me.
She quietly helped him back to her house, and secretly gave him clothes and food without telling her family, and gave him all her pot and charcoal for the fire.
The boy was a few years younger than her, but he was very tall, and looked much taller than children of his age. She can't remember his appearance clearly, but she only vaguely remembers that he was born very good-looking, and the little boy already has the rudiments of a handsome man, and he must be a man who turns everyone upside down when he grows up.
At that time, the young man was a little stubborn, and he hardly spoke, and he ignored him when asked what his name was and why he ended up here.
In the end, maybe he was annoyed by her, maybe she accidentally said something that touched his scales, and he suddenly retorted angrily: "The bird's ambition? ”
She couldn't get angry, and replied: "Zifei fish knows the joy of fish?" ”
The boy was so angry that he stopped talking.
Later, she brought him food and secretly found new clothes for him to change into, perhaps because he was grateful for her life-saving grace in meeting him, and only then did he vaguely reveal his unfortunate life in his words.
Out of comfort, she said: "Life is a life, long and short, living for fame and fortune, mediocrity, and in the end, it is empty; Living for the monstrous power, the camp is empty; It's better to live for yourself, be willful, and be at ease. ”
In retrospect, it was word for word.
Could it be that Yu Wenhe is the stubborn young man who fell outside the back door of her house back then?!
