Chapter 248: Staying in the Palace
Chapter 248 Staying in the Palace
When Li Shimin finished dealing with the mountains of music in the imperial study and returned to the Taiye Pool. It's almost a watchday. Seeing that his beloved Guanyin was chatting with Xiaoxiao very happily, and he was really smiling, and even his complexion seemed to be much better, which was the first time since Empress Changsun fell ill. Therefore, Li Shimin was also very pleased in his heart, and he was even happier with the arrival of Xiaoxiao. After inquiring, the two of them had never had a supper, so Li Shimin actually ran to the imperial dining room and personally brought two bowls of Xue'er lotus seed soup. Hand a bowl to Xiaoxiao for her to enjoy for herself. Another bowl, Li Shimin personally picked it up, planning to take advantage of the good mood of Empress Changsun to feed her some. Since she fell ill, Empress Changsun has rarely eaten, and almost all of her stomach is medicine every day......
Xiao Xiao looked at this scene, and thought to himself: It seems that it is a little inappropriate for me to stay here any longer. happened to be worried about the children at home, so he stood up and said goodbye:
"Your Majesty, mother...... Sister, that little one will say goodbye first! Empress Changsun had just swallowed a mouthful of food with difficulty, and when she heard that Xiaoxiao was leaving, she was a little reluctant between her eyebrows. Li Shimin next to him looked at it in his eyes and knew it. Then he said in a loud voice:
"Xiaoxiao, since you're back, you can accompany your sister more, it's rare for Guanyin to be so happy, I haven't seen her like this for a long time......"
Xiao Wenyan smiled: "Your Majesty, the courtier's return to Beijing this time is to come back to accompany my sister." However, it was getting late today, and the concubine was worried about a few small things in the family. Therefore, I want to go home first, and when the courtiers prepare their daily clothes tomorrow, I will take the tiger head and the maids to live in this palace, but I don't know if this is in line with the rules of etiquette......"
When Li Shimin heard her say this, he was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "This is very good, as for the etiquette system or not, it doesn't matter so much!" If anyone dares to talk to me about this matter, I will not be able to spare him......"
Xiaoxiao and Empress Changsun were stunned when they heard this, Li Shimin didn't seem to be joking when he said this. Xiaoxiao can also understand that the beloved woman is about to finish the last journey of her life, if there are still people who are not interested in chirping crookedly, then I am afraid that it will really touch the head......
Empress Changsun heard that Xiaoxiao planned to move to the palace tomorrow, and she was in a good mood. So he said weakly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, let Xiaoxiao go back first." The concubine hasn't seen the tiger head for a long time, and she misses it so much, wait until tomorrow Xiaoxiao will bring the tiger head over and let the concubine take a look......"
Li Shimin nodded again and again, and then said a little scoundrel: "You finish drinking this bowl of lotus seed soup, and I will let her go back ......"
When Xiao Xiao heard this, he was moved by the feelings between the first couple of the Tang Dynasty. A dignified son of heaven. In order to coax his wife to drink a bowl of lotus seed soup, he even used the means of a scoundrel. What moved Xiao Xiao even more was that Empress Eldest Sun was obviously extremely disgusted with food, but looking at her husband's eager eyes, she still opened her mouth obediently......
When I returned to Jiangfu, it was almost the second watch. A few little things had already slept soundly, but the four uncles and aunts of the Jiang family had never rested, and they were still fighting fiercely in the flower hall. The sound of mahjong spread far away, but fortunately, the house in Jiangfu is not big or small, at least the sound of mahjong cannot be transmitted outside to affect other people's sleep, otherwise Jingzhao Mansion should come to the door to get people......
Belch...... Of course, if you take it in and come out quickly, your father is the big boss of Jingzhao Mansion......
Xiao Xiao didn't alarm anyone, and went to bed after washing up. Lying on the bed, Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep from tossing and turning. Looking back on the years I have come to this prosperous Tang Dynasty, I have met so many people, I have a warm home, I have a husband who loves me and is nervous, I have three naughty and cute children, and I have money and power. Arguably. All the things that I couldn't imagine in the future life, I now have it. However, if the crisis is not handled properly, everything you have can be reduced to smoke overnight......
In this case, let alone staying in the palace for a period of time, even if you are in prison, I am afraid that you have to go......
Early the next morning, after Xiaoxiao explained everything at home, he took the tiger head and Yaya Dandan to the palace in a carriage. Everything at home, let the beard take care of it first. Fortunately, when she was in Huayin, she was familiar with several uncles and aunts of the Jiang family, and her prestige and ability were enough, so Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry too much......
When he arrived in the palace, Wang De, the big eunuch beside Li Shimin, was already waiting in the Taiye Pool. When Xiaoxiao got off the carriage with Dandan, there were palace people who came to serve her. rushed to get the luggage or something, which made Xiaoxiao a little confused, and asked out loud:
"Mr. Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang De instructed the palace people to unload the small luggage under the carriage, and replied: "Mrs. Hui" >, yesterday His Majesty ordered that our family clean up the Ganlu Hall for Mrs. "> and Gongzi" to >We live! As he spoke, he walked inside with his luggage.
Xiao Xiao was startled when she heard this, she knew that it was where Li Shimin's old man Li Yuan lived before his death. Since Li Yuan's ascension to heaven in the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Ganlu Hall has also been empty, and there are only a few old eunuchs guarding it. Although it is likely to be a little dilapidated, it is a palace after all. Li Shimin allowed himself and his children to live in such a place, which is a real violation of the ancestral system. I just came to accompany the eldest grandson queen. Fulfill the responsibility of a courtier, send her on the last journey, and let her live as happily as possible at the last moment of her life, but Li Shimin made it so grand, didn't he push his family to the cusp......
With such thoughts, Xiao Xiao held the little hand of the tiger's head nervously, and led the two lovely dragon and phoenix fetal daughters to follow Wang De forward one by one. While walking, he was still thinking about this matter, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd. Xiao Xiao would not believe that with Li Shimin's shrewdness and eloquence, he would be so confused and desperate in this matter. Because that's not going to do it at all......
When they arrived at the Ganlu Palace, the eunuchs moved all their luggage in, but in fact, they said that the luggage was nothing. It's a few weekday changes of clothes for Xiaoxiao and her children, as well as some toys with used utensils and balls, a total of two not too big burdens.
When Xiaoxiao was at the gate of the palace, he carefully looked at the palace where Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, lived. It doesn't look like the decayed, overgrown appearance I imagined at all. On the contrary, the whole palace is splendid, and there are countless pavilions and pavilions, which are more luxurious than the Daming Palace where Li Shimin and his wife live.
It's no wonder that this manna hall was specially redecorated after Li Shimin's armed seizure of power, in order to curry favor with the old man, and at the same time, in order to block the mouth of the people of the world and let the people of the world know that they still respect their old man. Of course, it is necessary to do the most extravagant. Before that, the Ganlu Hall had always been the emperor's bedroom, and later Li Shimin felt that it was not enough, and rebuilt the Daming Palace. But before the Daming Palace was repaired, Li Yuan, the founder of the Li family, kicked his legs and climbed to Bliss. So Li Shimin hastily finished the Daming Palace, worried that the world would say that he was extravagant and wasteful, so he took the harem and his children to move in and live. But Li Shimin was entangled in his heart, the Daming Palace was not completely constructed according to the original design, and many places were not as good as the Ganlu Palace. Li Shimin was bent on taking a chance to move back to the Manna Palace, of course he couldn't let it be abandoned......
Therefore, in the name of remembering his father, he sent people to spend a lot of money every year to renovate and repair the Manna Temple. Naturally, this manna temple will not be far behind......
There were many palace people and eunuchs standing at the door, and they counted them roughly, and they were afraid that there were no less than thirty people, among which there were more than a dozen eunuchs, and the rest were slim palace maids.
After Wang De moved the luggage in, he turned back to these palace maids and eunuchs and instructed: "Listen, this is the sister of the queen's mother, the wife of Lord Sanyuan Jinshijiang" >! As he spoke, he pointed to Xiaoxiao, and then continued: "Niangniang's phoenix body is slightly sick, Mrs. Jiang" > specially entered the palace to accompany Niangniang, these are the sons of Lord Jiang, "> and Miss" >. During this time, Mrs. Jiang's "> and her son-in-law, "Miss >", > stayed in this manna hall temporarily, and all of them served me attentively, don't make any mistakes, otherwise you don't need to say more about our family, you also know the rules in this palace......"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs replied in unison: "Obey, Chief Wang!" The voice, tone, and saluting movements were uniform, so that Xiaoxiao couldn't find the slightest flaw, and thought absurdly in his heart: Sure enough, it is the descendants of the emperor's Lao'er family, and the descendants of the Jiang family are already among the best, but compared with those in the palace, at least in this regard, it is still too far behind......
Xiaoxiao brought Cui Qiao over when she entered the palace this time, mainly because the two little guys, Yaya and Dandan, recognized their lives, and the people in the palace may not be able to greet them. As for the tiger head, there is no need to think about it at all, this stinky boy is more than three years old, and he is four years old when he sees his kung fu, and he has reached the age of 'teasing and kicking'......
After Wang De finished instructing, he asked Xiaoxiao to give a few words to the palace maids and eunuchs and set some rules. This caught Xiaoxiao off guard, she didn't expect to enjoy such treatment when she entered the palace this time. However, panic is a moment's effort, and he will not live in the palace forever. It is even possible that you can only live for ten days and half a month, where do you need any rules? So he cleared his throat and said softly:
"There are no rules. Mrs. Ben "> only stayed in the palace for a while. On weekdays, I want to accompany my mother, these naughty boys, so please bother more. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Cui Qiao, she is Mrs. Ben's "> personal maid, and she can ...... many things with ideas"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs signaled to Cui Qiao's head one after another, Cui Qiao returned the salute one by one, and there were some rules and regulations in advance and retreat, and the descendants of large families had seen the world after all, so they would not be at a loss.
After meeting with the servants who were waiting, Wang De approached Xiaoxiao's side and whispered:
"Mrs. Jiang" >, Your Majesty has ordered, if you come here and have no objection to such an arrangement, please go to Taiye Pool immediately and accompany Niangniang more......"
No objections? My objection is too big, and I am careful to slander my belly. But this matter is strange, and it is really difficult to talk to Wang De. So he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao will set off." By the way, yesterday the mother said that she wanted to meet the dog and the little girl, and today I brought them here, can you go together? ”
Wang De nodded again and again: "Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang are already waiting for Mrs. in Taiye Pool" > you and your son, "Miss >" >......" Xiao Xiao heard this, and a knowing smile appeared on his face: Great, the future boss of the Jiang family is here, and the quiet and cute little son who is distressing, I haven't seen him for almost half a year, and I don't know if my health is better......
When he arrived at Taiye Pool, Li Shimin had already arrived, and he had just half-coaxed and half-forced to feed the eldest grandson queen half a bowl of coarse grain porridge. Empress Changsun thought that Xiaoxiao would come over today, and she would also bring the stinky boy Tiger Head that she liked so much, and she was in a good mood and spirits. On the edge of her sickbed, the little son and the king of Jin, Li Zhi, sat quietly, and the little son buried his head in the heart of the eldest grandson, supporting the weight of his body with one hand, for fear that relying too heavily would make the mother's already weak body unable to bear it. Li Zhi next to him had already realized something, his face was not very good-looking, and he had a sense of sadness that people could see at a glance......
Xiaoxiao led the three little guys in, and saw the scene of nearly half of the first family of the Tang Dynasty gathering. Except for the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, who were busy forming gangs to prepare for the upcoming battle for the prince, almost everyone arrived.
On such an occasion, especially when the future boss Li Zhi is there, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to leave him with the impression of kicking his nose and face. So Ben dang knelt down first, and not only that, but also pulled the tiger's head and knelt down. However, the tiger head is okay, Xiaoxiao has already told him along the way, and this little thing is clearly distinguished, and nothing has happened. But Yaya and Dandan, the two little guys, are less than two years old, which is a bit reluctant. Xiaoxiao shouted a few times, and the two little guys were so ignorant that they didn't know how to kneel. Dandan, a little thing, saw that his idol brother on weekdays suddenly became half shorter, and even ran over and sat down in front of his brother, and let out a burst of smirks happily, so angry that his face turned pale......
Fortunately, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun don't care about this at this time, although Li Zhi, the future boss, is decent on weekdays and is deeply poisoned by the feudal ideology and dogma of the old masters around him, he also knows why Xiaoxiao came to the palace today. Therefore, seeing Xiaoxiao kneeling down with the tiger's head, he was already very satisfied in his heart. And seeing that Xiaoxiao was still kneeling down with Yaya and Dandan, even his face was a little unbearable......
After carrying three small things and performing a nondescript salute, Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to the edge of the bed. Holding the hand of the eldest grandson, the elder sister and the eldest sister screamed shortly, and the two praised each other for the growth of their children, and the parents chatted briefly. Li Shimin saw that Guanyin's complexion was really much better, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was secretly happy about his wise decision.
Seeing that the two women were chatting happily with a group of little guys, and they couldn't interject, Li Shimin found an excuse and quietly withdrew. Since Empress Changsun became seriously ill, he had piled up too many state affairs to deal with. Moreover, those two bastards have been making a bit of a fuss recently, I heard that the doorman of the Wei Wangfu the day before yesterday was attacked by someone only ten zhang away from the Wei Wangfu after going out, and his life was almost lost. There is no need to wait for Li Rusong's investigation report to come up, Li Shimin can guess what is going on......
Seeing that Li Shimin had retreated, Xiaoxiao finally couldn't bear the doubts in her heart, and suddenly changed her words and said to Empress Changsun:
"Sister, my sister has something to understand, and I hope my sister will solve my sister's doubts......"
Empress Eldest Sun was a little surprised when she heard this, didn't she still play a family routine? Why is it so abrupt? However, Xiaoxiao came from so far to accompany her, and of course she did not hesitate to answer one or two questions for her, so she nodded and said, "What's the matter?" You say? Fewer words"
Xiao Xiao pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Today, after my sister entered the palace with the tiger head and the maid Dandan, the chief manager Wang beside His Majesty actually arranged for our mother and son to live in the Ganlu Palace. I think this is very inappropriate, such a grace is against the ancestral system, right? Fewer words"
Empress Eldest Sun chuckled a few times when she heard this: "I thought it was something?" It turns out that this is this matter, you don't have to be surprised, this matter was decided after I discussed it with Your Majesty last night......"
Xiaoxiao was even more confused: "Is this still what you mean, sister?" Why don't you want to think about it, in such a period, if I live in the Manna Hall again, I don't know how many people will make a fuss about such things. When the time comes, the impeachment will be piled up in His Majesty's Imperial Study......"
Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "Look at you, it's a little inappropriate to do this, but this is deliberately done by His Majesty......"
Xiao Xiao looked at the smile of the eldest grandson queen Chengzhu in his chest, and a trace of realization flashed in his mind: "Could it be? ”
Empress Eldest Sun didn't wait for her to finish, then nodded and added: "Yes, didn't you say that your husband is in a difficult situation in Hangzhou now?" I don't know how many people in the DPRK and China want to take advantage of this opportunity to impeach your husband. Your Majesty's move is to tell those people and let them know that Your Majesty still has boundless trust in your husband, and even you are infinite......ly honored."
Xiaoxiao understood, and said with some concern: "However, since then, the pressure on His Majesty's side has been great." Especially Prime Minister Wei, I'm afraid I'm going to have to quarrel with Your Majesty......"
Empress Eldest Sun still had that smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty was angry with Prime Minister Wei Cheng last night, and Prime Minister Wei Cheng never objected to ......"
Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, put her mind at ease, and lived in the palace with peace of mind......
