Chapter 382: Comfortable Days
,。
Wen Yaojia left Shangyang Palace and set off for Qingcheng Mountain, but twenty days later, it had snowed all night the day before. On the day of departure, the weather was exceptionally cold.
Thinking about her birthday, Emperor Yonghui gave her a lot of things for her to celebrate her birthday happily. And this year, if there is no such thing as praying for the blessing of the country, her birthday may be more grand. Even if she can't compare to the late moon, among the concubines in the harem, she must be the only one.
But now, only Su Xin accompanied her with her luggage from the north gate of Zhengyang Palace. She was wearing a blue-gray robe, not powdered, and never wearing a hairpin ring. The jewelry on the whole body is only the plain hairpin of red sandalwood in the hair and the jade pendant on the waist. With her usual outfit, this body is really poor and cold.
Wen Yaojia exhaled a long breath, and all the unwillingness and resentment in her heart turned into forbearance at this time.
Walking to the gate of the palace, Su Xin's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Niangniang, we are about to leave the palace gate!" ”
Wen Yaojia let out a very soft "um", looked back and asked Su Xin, "Where is the East Palace?" ”
Su Xin was busy pointing out the direction for her, Wen Yaojia squinted slightly, her eyes were not focused, and she was slightly distracted. After looking at it for a while, she turned around, as if she no longer had any nostalgia, and turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
Because she left the palace this time to pray for the blessing of the country, the Qintian Prison Supervisor once said that it should not be too public. Therefore, there is no one in the palaces to watch the excitement.
Yang Qiqi stood far away on the moon viewing tower, and could just see Wen Yaojia's back of washing all the lead, in a single figure.
Zhuzhi and Zhuyi both deliberately entered the palace today and accompanied Yang Qiqi, and the two of them remembered all kinds of things about Wen Yaojia in the past, and they all had their own sighs. Zhuzhi sighed: "Concubine Wen Xian's outstanding character, if she hadn't suffered it herself, how could she have come to such a point." ”
Zhu Yi said: "If she had obediently gotten on the sedan chair, how good would it be to marry that Li Ji?" Li Ji is diligent and has the trust of Prince Su. Now Lu'e is doing very well in the Li Mansion, and she is about to give birth to her third child. ”
Yang Qiqi smiled and said, "You know everything!" ”
Zhu Yi said with a smile: "We are all people from the East Palace, we people don't have anything to do on weekdays, and ordinary women don't look down on our identities, so we can only move around." ”
Yang Qiqi didn't respond, looked at Wen Yaojia's figure cast on the ground by the sun, and said to Zhuzhi: "She went out of Shangyang Palace like this, I am afraid that she will be trampled by those who worship high and low, but I don't want to come forward in the name of East Palace to help her take care of it, so let our people quietly follow her." First, if there is anything, I can help her. The second is that she can also watch her all the time. ”
Zhuzhi replied: "Your Highness also means this, Concubine Xian is the person who thinks the most, and it is more reassuring to keep an eye on her from time to time." ”
Yang Qiqi didn't say anything, but turned his head to Zhu Yi and smiled gently, and said, "Now that you have a body, don't only take care of others, not your own." I won't say much, Yi Chong is also very considerate to you on weekdays, and you take care of your body. I'm counting on this in your belly to be my companion! ”
Zhu Yi's face turned red, and he interrupted: "What are you doing pointing to the slave maid, what is in the belly of the fifth aunt and grandmother is the real companion of the little county lord!" ”
Yang Qiqi didn't know that Yang Qinghuan was pregnant, and now it has been nearly three years since her last miscarriage, Yang Qiqi got this letter, and he was happier than himself, and immediately asked Zhu Yi: "When is it, how do you know?" ”
"That is, two days ago, the fifth aunt and grandmother themselves were not sure, so they didn't let the medical officer in the house diagnose the pulse, for fear that they would make a mistake again and disappoint His Royal Highness King Su. The result is Ximai, it's been two months, and the fifth aunt and grandmother themselves are confused. The fifth aunt and grandmother were extra cautious this time, and they didn't teach for the first three months. Wait until January next year, she herself said to the Queen Mother. ”
Yang Qiqi smiled happily and said, "Since she wants to say it herself, let's not publicize it, and I'll take a look at her." You also walk around for me more, and you must take care of the fifth sister's baby! ”
Zhu Yi nodded again and again, Yang Qiqi turned around, went down the city tower with the two of them, and went to the Queen Mother to pick up Wanyue.
Entering the inner hall of the Huacheng Courtyard, the Queen Mother hugged Wanyue, and Murong Cao lay on the Queen Mother's arm and looked at Wanyue's red little face, engrossed.
When the Queen Mother saw Yang Qiqi enter the door, she didn't wait for her to salute, and said directly: "You went to send Concubine Xian, why did you come back so early?" ”
Yang Qiqi smiled and said, "I didn't meet either, but I just stood on the moon viewing tower and took a look from afar." Qin Tianjian should not be too public, and I am not too grand. ”
The Queen Mother hummed, hugged Wanyue to the nurse, touched Murong Cao's little head, and said, "The Empress Dowager's grandmother has something to say to the concubine, let's go play with Aunt Huixi." ”
Murong Cao jumped out of bed as if he didn't understand, and trotted forward to take the corner of Wanyue's nurse's clothes, his nurse wanted to hug him, but Murong Cao's little hand waved. When he was a toddler, he was very interested in walking, and he didn't like to be held.
The Queen Mother watched the two little people go out from the screen, the corners of their mouths still raised, with a soft smile. Yang Qiqi can see that the love in the eyes of the Queen Mother is extraordinarily real. She guessed that the Queen Mother's feelings for Pei Xin must have been very special. Especially to the fact that the Queen Mother loves the house and Wu like this.
"That girl, it's also a good thing to be able to live in Qingcheng Mountain. In the end, she is the descendant of the eldest princess of Nangong, she is in the palace, and the mourning family also feels very uncomfortable. In fact, we cannot believe the heavenly phenomena, nor can we fully believe them. The Queen Mother seems to have something to say.
Yang Qiqi lowered his head and smiled gently, but just responded. The two have been together for many years and are already very familiar with each other's hearts. At this moment, they smiled silently at each other, somewhat tacitly.
The Queen Mother didn't ask more about Wen Yaojia, but gossiped with Yang Qiqi.
"It's cold, don't take the child to my side all day long. Especially the late moon! Children love to be sick, the last time Ming'er was sick for half a month, I saw you stay up every day and your eyes are red. ”
Yang Qiqi looked at what the Queen Mother said was a little wrong, and said with a smile: "Then why don't you let Wanyue and Ming'er live in Huacheng Courtyard?" There are many houses of the emperor's grandmother, and it is also the warmest place in this Shangyang Palace! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and was happy like a child, and said: "I actually said that narrow words, no one's charcoal fire is short, and it can't be shortened by the charcoal fire in your East Palace." You can't still freeze two children! The mourning family has specially confessed......"
Yang Qiqi took the queen mother's hand very affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Yes, yes, what you said is exact!" The imperial grandmother has long confessed, and no one dares to wronged us. Even Princess Tong'an said that you are partial, what am I not satisfied with! Everything else is not important, and if I can't be with you every day, I'm uneasy. I'm not afraid of the cold, and besides, they serve well in the color screen, but whenever they want to go out of the door of the East Palace, they don't have to walk a few steps to get on the sedan chair. The sedan chair has been warmed with a warm basin for a long time in advance, and it is also warm to go in. My father also gave permission to let me walk around in a sedan chair at will in Shangyang Palace! ”
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said: "This is what it should be, you gave birth to an heir for Zhao'er, and made up a 'good' word for our Zhao'er, and the emperor should be kind to you." Moreover, the mourning family told you that the emperor hurt Zhao'er the most. After all these years, he is the one who feels distressed. If it was back then, if it was the old thirteen who went to the palace to ask to marry you, then don't even think about it, the emperor will directly lock the old thirteen! Because it was Zhao'er, he was willing to do it. ”
Yang Qiqi naturally understood that Emperor Yonghui's love for Murong Zhao was the result of the virtuous concubine who died early.
"Of course, it's also the real fate of the two of you. If it weren't for that, you would marry the Marquis of Yongping, and Chen Fangyue would also become my granddaughter-in-law. But Chen Fangyue's character, I didn't like it from the beginning, I looked like a small family and had no mind. ”
Yang Qiqi smiled and said: "The Queen Mother always says that I am narrow, but she is still willing to love me like this, which is also my blessing." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of kindness, and she said with a smile: "That's our mother and son, I'm not aiming at Zhao'er, I'm really ......" The Queen Mother paused slightly when she said this, and she aggravated her tone again with sincerity, "I really like your temperament, you are more like a mourner than Ah Yu." The Queen Mother said, stroking Yang Qiqi's hand and said, "Every time I see you, the mourning family is like seeing myself when I was young." Your master taught you very well. ”
Yang Qiqi faintly felt that this was the reason. Pei Xin taught him so many things, and it was not aimless. His students are all men, but Pei Xin is very familiar with teaching her as a female apprentice. Even, intentionally or unintentionally, she developed many of the queen mother's preferences. Those subtle habits, especially those that the Queen Mother has been thinking about for a long time, are too similar.
Therefore, in Pei Xin's heart, he also values the Queen Mother. The two are now thousands of miles apart, but this strong friendship seems to be increasing unabated. Yang Qiqi looked at the faint sadness in the Queen Mother's eyes, and didn't say anything more. just deliberately accompanied the Queen Mother to talk about some interesting things that Pei Xin taught himself on the mountain. Therefore, Yang Qiqi came every day, except for some things in the six palaces, he said more, and the Queen Mother never got tired of listening to it.
At the end of the year, under the intention of the Queen Mother, she gradually handed over some important matters of the Six Palaces to Yang Qiqi to deal with. As the crown princess, Yang Qiqi seems to have done the queen's part in advance. The concubines in the harem didn't dare to have an agreement, and when they went out, Concubine Zhang Shu occasionally wanted to share some of it in front of the queen mother, but everyone else felt that it was right. Left and right, sooner or later, it's what Yang Qiqi should do.
On the first day of the first month of January, Yang Qinghuan's fetus had been nearly four months old, and it couldn't be safer. Yang Qinghuan personally told Murong Jin and the Queen Mother, and naturally added another layer of joy to the Queen Mother during the New Year's Festival.
In the twenty-three years of Yonghui without Wen Yaojia, Dayan's harem was peaceful.
Except for the Gu family and the Li family, because of the decline of the Li family, Yang Yuyan could only live with her tail between her legs in the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Her own life is walking on thin ice, and naturally she has no heart to find Yang Qiqi unhappy. And Wen Yaojia's departure is one less person who is uncomfortable looking for Yang Qiqi all day long. There is only Yang Qiqi in the East Palace, and five years have passed smoothly.
