Lu Shiqi
Anguo Temple is the imperial temple of Da Cao, for hundreds of years has been the exclusive place of the royal family of Da Cao to worship the Buddha, although there is abundant incense money, clothing, food, housing and transportation are much more exquisite than ordinary temples, but in the end it is a temple, naturally not comparable to Daming Palace. Mrs. Langya used to be a person who cared about food and clothing, and she was not happy that the beads on her clothes were crooked an inch, but now she has a princess, how could she suddenly want to go there?
Duan Niang had already noticed Su Ying's doubts, so she said: "Why is Concubine Wen so funny, don't say the Queen Mother, even the slaves and maids are startled." ”
Mrs. Langya didn't pay attention to her, and still looked at Su Ying: "The concubine is not joking, the concubine has been in the palace for so long, this is just the second time that she has something to ask the queen mother, this is not a difficult thing for you, please make the queen mother a concubine!" ”
She saw that Mrs. Langya's appearance didn't look like a whim, so she had to look at her: "You get up first, don't you talk to the mourning family, why do you want to go to Anguo Temple?" ”
Mrs. Langya combed her flowing cloud bun today, with a red gold phoenix tail swaying in twelve steps, and a long tassel with very small red agate and gold the size of a grain of rice falling on it, swaying on her shoulders, very charming and moving. Su Ying doesn't care about the fat powder hairpin ring on weekdays, but she is particularly impressed by this step.
At that time, the first emperor also deliberately held a small palace banquet in the harem, and ordered the concubines at that time to step forward one by one, or dance, or chant poetry, in short, they had to come up with their own unique skills, who did the best, they would reward this step shake to whom, in addition, they could also ask the first emperor to agree to a request of their own.
She remembered that she was bored at that time, so she made an excuse to change her clothes halfway, and ran back to Hanyuan Palace with Yunluo to play marbles for a while before going back, and only after going back did she know that because Mrs. Langya's pipa played very well, the first emperor had rewarded her, but Mrs. Langya had not said what her wish was.
At that time, Duanniang was still angry, because after the banquet was dispersed, Mrs. Langya deliberately came to show off in front of her, in fact, Su Ying didn't like the step, she always felt that it was too gorgeous, but Duanniang always said that the phoenix tail was only worn by the queen, and Mrs. Langya's move was really more than the clouds. She came here wearing this step today, but she was afraid that Duan Niang would be unhappy again.
Sure enough, as she expected, Duan Niang only noticed the step shake, her face sank, Mrs. Langya didn't seem to care at all, and even deliberately asked her: "Does the Queen Mother still remember this step shake on the concubine's hair bun?" ”
Su Ying smiled dryly and nodded: "Remember, remember." At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind.
Shouldn't Mrs. Langya use the step shake as a raft to let herself promise her to leave the palace?
Mrs. Langya had probably guessed her thoughts, and smiled again: "The Queen Mother is so smart, she naturally knows that no matter what you do today, you have to agree to this matter, because this is not only the concubine's request, but also the will of the first emperor." ”
Is this so serious? Su Ying had a headache, she just wanted to ask a few more words, if Mrs. Langya had already made up her mind, she would definitely not say anything, and agreed happily. Why did she move the first emperor out so quickly and put it on her head?
Duanniang's face changed: "The Queen Mother just cares about the concubine, and wants to ask clearly, the concubine is afraid that she is disrespectful to the Queen Mother." ”
Mrs. Langya's eyes flowed, and her expression was exactly the same as when she was favored in the sixth palace that day: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, but I don't know when the Queen Mother will be able to make an order?" ”
Su Ying said: "If you really want to go, then the mourning family will promise you, as for the day, do you still want to let the people in the court choose?" ”
As soon as she finished saying this, a voice came from outside: "When you want to go, it's up to the Queen Mother to decide." ”
She looked up and saw that it was Pei Zhao who came, he opened the curtain with his own hands and walked in, looked at Mrs. Langya, and said lightly: "If the Queen Mother hates you, you should leave now; If the Queen Mother is willing to keep you, you will stay in this palace for the rest of your life, which is also a gift. ”
Mrs. Langya and Pei Zhao rubbed shoulders several times in the past, and she was very afraid of this prince who grew up on the battlefield since she was a child, not to mention that now that he was sitting on the throne again, thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand: "I've seen Your Majesty." ”
Pei Zhao stared at her with a smile: "Since you asked for the gift of the Queen Mother, you should perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times, and now this way is really unruly." ”
These words are an understatement, but in the ears of Mrs. Langya, it is tantamount to a cold wind, she can't help but tremble, the tassels on the step are murmuring in her ears, she calmed down, and said hard: "The first emperor once said that the concubine had a wish, and now it is ......."
"Since you know that you are the first emperor, you should know that time has changed, and the things of the past, if I don't count them, then I can't count them."
His words were really shocking, not to mention Mrs. Langya, even Su Ying looked at him in amazement, Pei Zhao smiled coldly, and said: "I just said, if you have something to ask the Queen Mother, you have to make a big gift of three kneels and nine bows." ”
Mrs. Langya looked at Pei Zhao in disbelief: "Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
Pei Zhao slowly walked to Su Ying and sat down, smiled at her soothingly, and looked at the steps with a cold face: "I never say twice. ”
Seeing his grim expression, Mrs. Langya was very frightened, hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt down slowly and bowed to Su Ying: "I ask the Queen Mother to take the fourteenth princess to Anguo Temple to worship the Buddha." ”
I have known Mrs. Langya for so long, and I have never received such a big gift from her, Su Ying was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly agreed. Seeing that Mrs. Langya's face was slightly softened, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Zhao called Tong He in again, and said lightly: "Go to the court to make an order, the concubine Wen is dedicated to the Buddha and is willing to live in Anguo Temple to pray for the queen mother." The Queen Mother took pity on her heart and happily agreed, and set off out of the palace three days later, escorted all the way by Nangong Lie, the general of Longwu. ”
Mrs. Langya's face changed, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes: "Thank you concubine, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty." ”
After Mrs. Langya left, Pei Zhao ordered Tong He to inform all the royal relatives and nobles of the will to leave the palace one by one, even Pei Yu, who was far away in Youzhou, to send him over overnight. After ordering all this, Pei Zhao looked at her with a smile: "What have you done in the past half a day?" ”
Su Ying was very embarrassed by him: "I have a lot of things, such as being in a daze, eating melon seeds, and reading books...... Well, and then there's that thing. ”
She didn't want to tell Pei Zhao, in fact, she didn't do anything this afternoon, just waited for him in the palace, but Pei Zhao was really smart, and even smiled and said: "So, Ah Jin, in fact, you are waiting for me to come back in the palace, yes or no?" ”
She blushed and wanted to find something to quibble, but she couldn't say anything, but Pei Zhao had already taken her hand: "There are a lot of excerpts today, it's because I'm late." It's not dinner yet, can I go out for a walk with you? ”
When she walked out of the palace door, Su Ying was startled, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out, Pei Zhao frowned at each head, but held it tighter, she panicked and found that there was no one in front of Changle Palace, presumably Tong He had already done it, so she was slightly relieved.
Pei Zhao didn't seem to be very happy: "Ah Ming, one day, I will lead you openly and go wherever you want to go." ”
She knew what he meant by "one day", but for some reason, she couldn't escape this matter very much in her heart, so she had to find the most irrelevant words to diverge: "You say, why does Mrs. Langya have to leave the palace?" ”
Pei Zhao paused and said casually: "Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable in the palace."
Su Ying agreed with this sentence: "Of course, don't talk about the palace, you are so fierce, maybe she is busy running out because she is afraid of you!" ”
Pei Zhao also smiled: "She used to be disrespectful to you, and now I'm like this, I can't even count as a small punishment, what's there to be afraid of?" ”
The way Pei Zhao said this, Jiao Su Ying remembered that Pei Ming had scribbled a painting one day, a big tiger was looking in the mirror, and in the mirror was a petite and cute raccoon slave. She couldn't help laughing, Pei Zhaoqi said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I remembered a painting that looks like you, I'll go back and find it for you." Su Ying said: "You are like a stupid tiger, you never know how fierce you are." ”
"If I'm not fierce, how can I stand up for you?" Pei Zhao led her all the way to the edge of the Taiye Pool, and carried her to the swing, gently pushing the swing while smiling: "You will be my queen in the future, if even a little concubine dares to be so disrespectful to you, then teach me how to put my mind at ease?" ”
Su Ying was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"What nonsense is this?" Pei Zhao helped her brush off a fallen flower on her head, and continued to push the swing for her: "Actually, I was thinking a long time ago, Ah Jin, if you are destined to become the queen, that emperor, why can't it be me?" ”
Because it was already summer, the wisteria that used to be on the swing was replaced with pothos and woody fragrance, and the fragrance of the flowers was so strong that it almost made her dizzy, but Pei Zhao's words taught her to wake up, and she stammered: "But you also know that I can't do anything at all, you have probably seen me as a queen in the past, I ......"
"I want you, not anyone." Pei Zhao's voice came from behind him: "I don't need a capable queen, to be my queen, there is only one request, and that is you." ”
The lotus flowers in the Taiye Pond are already half-opened, or the pink and red buds are mixed with the jasper-like lotus leaves, and a large area is densely spread out, which is as beautiful as a fairyland. Her heart was also like a lotus flower, a little happy, but also a little scared: "But I'm actually a little stupid......"
"If you think you're stupid, that's nothing, between the two of us, one of us is smart."
Pei Zhao's words sounded so strange, she hesitated: "Why do I think you are laughing at me?" ”
Pei Zhao laughed out loud: "Ah Jin, you are smarter again now." ”
