Extra: The scenery is old and familiar
I quarreled with Uncle Xiao Huang again.
Uncle Xiao Huang was locked in the study every day by the Taifu to study, learning the great principles of how to govern the world, those big words sounded good, but they were useless, he naturally couldn't quarrel with me. In this way, he said that I could reply several times, and he was so angry that his face turned red. Finally, he slammed the paper kite in his hand to the ground and said, "I won't pay attention to you anymore!" And he walked away without looking back.
I'm not afraid, he'll come and confess to me in a moment anyway, and if I ignore him, he'll have no playmates.
I picked up the paper kite and looked at it, the keel was broken in two, and the fracture was still neat. Tsk, the little emperor's strength is really great, and he is worthy of being taught by the emperor's uncle. Uncle Huang's strength is great, once a sprinkler sweeper accidentally soiled a small cloth tiger on the case, Uncle Huang was furious, and immediately rewarded him with a staff of twenty, I sat aside, and clearly saw that Uncle Huang crushed the tea cup in his hand. I had never seen him so angry that he was so frightened that tears flowed, so he restrained his expression and coaxed me softly: "Ah Yuan, don't be afraid. ”
Ah Yuan is my milk name, except for my father and mother, only the imperial uncle and the little imperial uncle can call me like this, but the little imperial uncle rarely calls me "Ah Yuan", most of them call me "stinky girl", but they can only call me in private, if the imperial uncle hears it, he will definitely be punished.
Uncle Huang loves me very much, I have always known it.
I used to hear the nurse say that my father was a prince, and as a rule, I could only be named the lord of the county, but the imperial uncle was very kind, not only named me a princess, but also allowed me to enter the palace every day. On my fifth birthday last year, Uncle Huang specially announced that the Yuzhou team would enter the palace to perform for me. I've never seen anything so interesting, and I can't figure out how they can make such a beautiful pattern out of molten iron. It's a lot more fun than the fireworks I've ever set. The nurse babbled, always saying what the emperor's grace was immense, although I didn't understand much, but I knew very well in my heart that the imperial uncle really loved me.
He didn't have any children of his own, so he loved me as if I were his own daughter.
The paper kite didn't have to play, I simply went to the Chaoyang Palace to find the imperial uncle, and when I entered the palace, I found that the little imperial uncle was also there, probably because the homework was done very well, and I answered the question of the imperial uncle, and I was proud like a little rooster who had won. Hmph, I thought he was patronizing me today, and he didn't have the heart to study!
Uncle Huang still patted him on the shoulder as usual, and said: "If the people are rich, the township will be safe, and if the country is rich, the family will respect the fear of sin, and if the fear of crime is easy to cure, it will be easy to cure......" I was so drowsy that the tea in my hand was almost spilled, and the uncle looked at me with a smile: "Ah Yuan is here." ”
Maybe it's because I'm here, Uncle Huang didn't ask those difficult truths again, but took us to Shangyuan to test Uncle Huang's riding and archery. I heard Zheng Shanggong in the palace say that when Uncle Xiao Huang was as old as me, he was still a round little fat man, but seeing that he was so vigorous on the horse, I think even if he is fat, he should be the most flexible fat man in the world.
Uncle Huang left me for dinner, and the little uncle kept sneaking a glance at me during the banquet, and I pretended to ignore him, and I was very proud. When I went home, I happened to meet my father, he put the notebook in his hand into the little girl's arms, came over to hold my hand, smiled and asked, "Did you have fun today?" ”
I told my father everything about today, and he laughed as he listened: "You guys, you want to play together when you don't meet, and you quarrel when you meet. ”
I was a little embarrassed, but my father asked with interest:
"Why are you quarreling today?"
As soon as I talked about this, I got angry: "We discussed building a snowman when it snowed, and I said that I would use agate beads to make eyes for the snowman, and the little emperor said that he wanted to use obsidian, and said that this was taught to him by his imperial sister-in-law, and I was angry, so I quarreled with him." ”
My father had been looking at me with a smile, but his face changed when he heard this, and I realized that I had mentioned the queen mother who had passed away.
I never met the Queen Mother because she was no longer there when I was born. I saw that my father's face was not very good, and I was a little scared, but he quickly regained his smile and rubbed my head:
"It's still summer, why are you thinking about building a snowman?"
When he said this, not only the little guy around him laughed, but even the mother who walked to the courtyard to greet me covered her mouth and laughed.
At night, my mother came to coax me to sleep as usual, and I touched the gold lock plate hanging around my neck, pestering her to tell me about the queen's mother.
"The queen has a noble status, but she doesn't dislike my background at all, and treats me like a biological sister." My mother patted me on the back for a while, and I couldn't wait to interject:
"I know! If it weren't for the queen's mother, my mother wouldn't be able to marry my father, and Ah Yuan wouldn't have been born, the little golden lock around my neck, and many other things, were given to me by the queen! ”
My mother pinched my nose and smiled helplessly: "Little clever ghost, I've heard it so many times, no wonder you remember it." ”
Of course! I was very proud, I haven't told my mother yet, I don't just remember, I know!
I know how much Uncle Huang likes the queen mother, the swing next to the Taiye Pool, the cranes in the Pan Yu Hall, all kinds of novelties that come in the tribute every year, and the bead curtain next to the throne, all of which are prepared for the queen mother. Every time I accompanied the imperial uncle to dinner, he would always put a pair of plates and chopsticks in the seat next to him, and every other month he would go out of the palace to take a walk, as if the queen had never left.
I know that the little emperor actually misses the queen very much, he is so old now, he should have changed the seal a long time ago, but the seal that is said to have been given to him by the queen mother, he has always carried it with him. He likes to paint so much, and the one he paints the most is the queen's mother. Last year, the very young King Xiliang came to Tianjing to worship the imperial uncle, and the little imperial uncle specially invited him to his palace to speak, and what they said was also the queen's mother.
Even Rong Niangniang, who is the best-looking in the palace, often talks to me about the queen's mother, so many people like her and miss her, I think she must be very beautiful, and has a good temperament, maybe she is a fairy in the sky!
Such a good queen, if only I could meet her, maybe we can still have a good time!
I actually felt a little guilty about the little imperial uncle, so I went to the palace early the next day to look for him. Uncle Xiao Huang really escaped from under the nose of Taifu and brought a new paper kite to apologize to me, and I naturally have to forgive him magnanimously. Uncle Xiao Huang took me to the imperial garden to put the paper kite, he was half a head taller than me, firmly holding the shaft in his hand, the paper kite flew higher and higher, like a majestic eagle, very good-looking.
I praised Uncle Xiaohuang: "Your paper kite is so good!" ”
He was very proud: "That's nature, this is what my mother taught, my mother is the best woman in the world!" ”
Uncle Xiaohuang's mother is the queen mother, I heard that she practiced in Anguo Temple, and she has not been back to the palace for a long time, I have no impression of her, so I retorted unconvinced:
"You're a liar! You said a few days ago that the queen is the best woman in the world! ”
Uncle Xiao Huang seemed to be stunned, and his eyes became very strange. I remembered that we had just reconciled, and I really didn't want to quarrel with him, so I pulled his sleeve a little weakly: "Okay, the queen mother is the best woman, and the queen mother is the best mother, so it's always okay!" ”
Uncle Xiao Huang was silent for a moment, grinned, and showed the kind of smile I was most familiar with. I breathed a sigh of relief, and I wanted to pester him to teach me how to put paper kites, but I quickly dismissed this idea. Because the bright yellow guard of honor was getting closer and closer to us, the imperial uncle walked over slowly, looked at us, and looked at the paper kite, but there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.
Uncle Huang was playing hard, I pulled his sleeves before turning his head, and saw Uncle Huang couldn't help but be startled, the shaft in his hand fell, and the paper kite fell from mid-air, lowered his head and said: "Ah Ming knows his mistake, please punish the imperial brother!" ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't blame Uncle Xiaohuang, I forced him to take me to play!" ”
Uncle Huang finally smiled: "It's okay. ”
Uncle Huang still stood still with his head down, and I had to stand with him, Uncle Huang picked up the paper kite and stuffed it into his hand, and said softly: "Today's weather is good, just right for the paper kite." ”
Uncle Xiao Huang was happy, and turned the shaft in his hand again, the paper kite rose steadily into the air, as if he had wings, I took the shaft from Uncle Xiaohuang's hand, and I didn't think that the paper kite ate enough wind, and fell down heavily, and I couldn't turn the shaft quickly, so I had to watch the paper kite fall down, stuck in a 10,000-year-old branch.
Uncle Xiao Huang clapped his hands happily: "Ah Yuan is a big fool!" ”
I glared at him and looked at him, it seemed that Uncle Huang was the tallest, and as long as he stretched out his hand, he could take off the paper kite, so he ran over and tugged at his sleeve: "Uncle Huang will help me take the paper kite down, okay?" ”
Uncle Huang's face didn't have the slightest expression, but he stared at the evergreen tree in a daze, as if he was in a daze. I said it again, and then he came back to his senses, walked up to Wan Nianqing, pressed the branch with one hand, and easily picked off the paper kite with the other.
The sun is gradually setting, and the surrounding flowers and trees seem to be plated with a layer of gold dust, bright and shiny, like the tree flowers made by the old man wearing a sheepskin jacket on his birthday, which is very beautiful. Uncle Huang bent down and handed me the paper kite, and through the golden sunshine, I only saw the top of his hair, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Uncle Huang is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, not much older than my father, and it is at his peak. But I saw it clearly, Uncle Huang, who had already grown gray hair.
After releasing the paper kite, I originally thought that Uncle Huang would let Uncle Xiao Huang go back to listen to Taifu talk about the truth, but I didn't expect him to take him to Yanhe Palace, and Uncle Xiao Huang insisted on pulling me away, saying that he wanted me to take a look at this year's new champion.
I originally thought that this year's new champion must be very unusual, but when I arrived at Yanhe Palace, I found that there was nothing unusual at all, but it was a man and a girl who were in high school at the same time, and Uncle Huang really couldn't choose who was high and who was low, so he ordered the champion together. The male champion is very good-looking, it is said that his surname is Su, and the female champion is ......
I was dizzy when I heard them say these lengthy teachings, and I didn't know when I fell asleep, and I didn't even hear the name of the female champion.
When I woke up, I was already sitting in the carriage, and my father sat aside and flipped through the notebook with great interest, and when he saw that I had woken up, he poked my head in amusement:
"I didn't believe it when Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, but when I got there, I found that you really slept like a little pig!"
I felt a little embarrassed, and decided to change the topic: "I saw the way the little emperor uncle and the new champion talked today, but it was really different, he said it so well, even the imperial uncle praised him!" ”
"Really?" My father asked me, "What did he say?" ”
“…… I don't understand. ”
Daddy laughed when he heard this: "Silly boy, those are the ways of the Son of Heaven, so naturally you don't understand." ”
The Son of Heaven is the emperor, I still know this, I asked my father: "Will the little emperor be the emperor?" ”
Daddy thought for a moment and said, "That's about it." Rubbing the top of my hair: "Does Ah Yuan think it's good to be the emperor?" ”
I shook my head. Being an emperor is not good at all, there are so many twists and turns to be criticized every day, and there is no time to doze off. Everyone respected him and feared him, like the golden crow in the sky, no one dared to approach, and he was always alone.
Just like Uncle Huang, he was not happy at all.
When I entered the palace last month, I untied the rope with the little imperial uncle for an afternoon, and only then did I remember to get up in the evening to see the imperial uncle. The young eunuchs and chamberlains around him were all sent away, and even Gonggong Tong was not there, leaving him alone in the empty hall. There was a strong smell of wine in the hall, which made me dizzy, and the imperial uncle sat in it, holding a delicate box in his arms.
I know that the box contains very precious things, which was originally a nineteenth birthday gift that the imperial uncle wanted to give to the queen's mother, but he didn't have time to give it to her.
I cautiously stepped forward, and Uncle Huang already had several empty wine jars in his hand, and was picking up the jug and pouring wine into the jar. He drank much better than his father, and if my father had drunk so much, he would have become a drunken cat.
I asked, "Uncle Huang, why do you drink so much?" ”
Uncle Huang smiled and rubbed my hair: "I'm happy when I drink too much." ”
I don't believe it. Uncle Huang said that he was happy when he drank too much, so he drank so much wine, cup after cup, but after drinking, he cried.
