141. Loneliness is the mourning home
This is the first time Yu Moling has been to the Qianming Palace.
By the promenade on the stairs, she could see the triple gate of the south gate of the bell and the magnificent huge square.
At this time, there were only columns of guards standing in the square with tall knives, until the end of the line of sight, which looked extraordinarily atmospheric and extraordinarily solemn.
Bihe has never been to such a place, and when she goes in and out of such a place in Su Ri, it is Yue Ying who accompanies Yu Lanqing, so the little girl squats lower than Yu Moling, and the two of them swept around the scenery as far as their eyes could see, and when the cat bent over and looked at the main hall of the Qianming Hall at the corner, Yu Moling's sight touched Zhao'an.
She didn't know what she thought, even if she couldn't come here, being seen by Zhao An was at most a soft-spoken advice, she was excited, so she hid back, and after dodging, Yu Moling patted her head in annoyance, what is the matter with her appearance of being a thief?
Thinking of this, before Zhao'an came to arrest him, Yu Moling stood up, tidied up her skirt, and walked out from the corner.
Zhao Anzheng wondered, looking at the exposed half of her face and the decoration on her head, she knew that it was Yu Moling, what was she hiding?
Before he could get closer, he saw Yu Moling come out by himself, his face was red, he glanced at himself, chuckled, and nodded to himself in a friendly way: "Zhao'an father-in-law is good." ”
Zhao An also greeted her: "Miss Yu is well, Miss is here, does the Queen Mother have any instructions?" ”
Yu Moling shook her head: "No, my aunt is resting, I want to come here to see it myself." ”
Zhao An nodded his head to understand, seeing Yu Moling's eyes fall on the window of the main hall, he understood after a little thought, and looked at the young emperor who couldn't wait to invite Miss Yu into the palace to accompany the queen mother's posture, and knew that the girl in front of him would be the new master of the harem in the future. ”
Yu Moling opened her mouth, wanting to explain that she came for her aunt's business, but she still couldn't say it when the words came to her mouth.
Naturally, she is also selfish.
It was Yu Moling who was waiting at the door with her hands behind her back and her eyes down, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, very nervous.
Zhao An soon came out, and said with a smile that the emperor invited her into the palace to speak, Yu Moling walked forward, and saw that Bihe was standing and did not move, so she turned around and asked her to follow, Bihe hurriedly waved her hand: "The Son of Heaven is majestic, and the slave maid is waiting outside the palace." ”
The Qianming Hall is not something that any palace person of any status can follow in.
Yu Moling glanced at Zhao An, and saw that Zhao An also nodded and motioned for her to go in by herself, so she lifted her skirt and entered the palace gate.
Wei Zishan was a little messy, there were too many twists and turns, and they were stacked in a position that he could easily get, but in this case, it looked particularly chaotic, when Yu Moling walked in, he saw Wei Zishan hurriedly sorting out the folds, and when he saw her, Wei Zishan stopped his movements with a little weakness, smiled slightly, and asked her to sit down and talk quickly.
He is still so easy-going, and he didn't put up a shelf in front of her just because he was the emperor, Yu Moling gave him a blessing and saluted, and then glanced at the Qianming Palace, and for a while he couldn't see all the things in this hall, Yu Moling's eyes flashed, full of curiosity.
Wei Zishan just stared at her, and when he saw her retract her eyes and look at herself, she pursed her lips and laughed again: "Why did you come here by yourself?" ”
Yu Moling touched the tip of her nose and sat down next to Wei Zishan: "Auntie asked me to walk around today, I'm afraid I'm bored, I went to take a look at the Spring Chang Pond, it seems that it is still deserted, remembering that my aunt has nothing to do these days to be really happy, so I thought about asking the emperor to see if the emperor can know how to make my aunt happy." ”
Wei Zishan lowered his eyes and responded: "Chunchang Pond has been barren for many years, although my father took care of it and used it once, but no one has been to that place for many years, and now I don't know what to do, so it is still deserted, but we will definitely not be able to do things that make the queen mother happy, and we can only try our best to honor the queen mother in the future and not let the queen mother worry." ”
Yu Moling paused for a moment: "We can't do it?" ”
Wei Zishan nodded: "Yes, the only one who can really make the queen mother happy, is the father." ”
Wei Li is gone, all Yu Lanqing's joys, all joys, sorrows, and sorrows are buried in the imperial mausoleum with Wei Li, if it weren't for Wei Li's last wish, telling Yu Lanqing to take care of the country for him, take care of the children, and take care of himself to live a good life, Wei Zishan is sure that it won't take long after Wei Li's departure, Yu Lanqing will definitely follow Wei away.
Yu Lanqing's current peace is an indifference that no one can break anymore, and it is loneliness from the heart.
No one can do it.
Yu Moling was stunned for a moment, listening to Wei Zishan's tone, knowing that he was not joking, and also knew that those of them who were juniors might really be powerless.
"But I received a secret letter two days ago, and the envoys of the Great Zhou Kingdom are about to come to Great Wei." Wei Zishan suddenly thought of this, and then his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously pulled Yu Moling's hand, "The envoy of the Great Zhou is coming, I am going to let Yun Mufan follow Master Fu to receive him, he is also good to learn this, and when the time comes, a singing and dancing banquet will be arranged, Yun Xi Yunsi and they will also enter the palace, I asked people to choose some materials, you fancy it and talk to the Shangyi Bureau, and let them make you a few new clothes." ”
Yu Moling blinked, looking at Wei Zishan's expectant and excited look, he bowed his head slightly and said Okay, whether there is a banquet, it is lively, even if it is just lively on the surface, it is better than Yu Lanqing being cold and lonely in Cishou Palace all day.
Wei Zishan was going to tell Yu Lanqing about this in person, since Yu Moling came, he asked Zhao An to serve tea and pastries, and after he finished reading a few important books in his hand, he went back to Cishou Palace with Yu Moling.
Bihe followed behind Zhao'an, staring at Yu Moling, who was walking side by side with Wei Zishan in front of her, and whispered: "Zhao'an's father-in-law, Miss and the emperor are walking side by side, won't they break the rules?" ”
Zhao An turned around and smiled: "There are no others in the palace, and the emperor thinks that if the rules are not broken, then the rules will not be broken." ”
Hearing Zhao An say this, Bihe was relieved: "The emperor treats Miss so well." ”
The group returned to Cishou Palace, Yueying was under the corridor to let Yu Lanqing's flowers move to a cooler place, saw Wei Zishan coming, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then glanced at Yu Moling beside Wei Zishan, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, leading them inside: "The emperor came up by coincidence, and the queen mother just got up not long ago." ”
Wei Zishan nodded and said yes, went into the back room, and greeted Yu Lanqing, Yu Lanqing saw that the two came back together, and felt novel, looked at Yu Moling, knowing that her face was thin, but he didn't ask why, just let Wei Zishan and Yu Moling sit down, and said softly: "Does the emperor have something to tell the mourning family?" ”
"Yes, the queen mother understands her son." Seeing that there was joy between his eyebrows and eyes, and his appearance was a little hurried, he could know a thing or two, "My son received a secret letter, and the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon enter Beijing, and the banquet will be attended at that time, so that the queen mother can be lively and lively." ”
Yu Lanqing thought it was something, but when he heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "You young people are just lively, but the queen mother is old, lazy and doesn't like to move around, so she won't go." ”
Wei Zishan was silent for a while, turned around and glanced at Yu Moling, pursed his lips, and said: "The Great Zhou Emperor has a good relationship with his father, his son has just taken over the government, and the first time he ushered in the Great Zhou envoy, it is inevitable that the queen mother needs to mention one or two, and the Great Zhou envoy came this time to worship his father for the Great Zhou Emperor. ”
Yu Lanqing raised her eyes, of course she knew what Wei Zishan meant, the first time she dealt with Da Zhou, it was indeed inevitable that she had no bottom in her heart, but if she wanted her to walk out of Cishou Palace and please her with a little bit of filial piety, Yu Lanqing also understood.
These days, Yu Moling's girl has tried her best, although Yu Lanqing is also smiling and happy, but her heart is empty, and no one can fill it.
I don't want to put a psychological burden on Wei Zishan, he has to take care of the previous dynasty and himself, it is indeed difficult to do both, listening to his persuasion, Yu Lanqing naturally understands why Yu Moling came back with Wei Zishan.
Both of them are filial children, and she should receive this love.
"Okay, just go to the mourning family." Yu Lanqing finally relented, and Wei Zishan and Yu Moling also laughed.
"My son asked me to send some new materials and make two new clothes for Sister Moling, and the queen mother's vision has always been excellent." Wei Zishan also said that he wanted to make clothes, and since Yu Moling has entered the palace now, he should naturally have the clothes in the palace to attend the banquet.
Yu Lanqing also responded, took Yu Moling's hand, and patted it gently: "Moling's side, the mourning family will naturally plan for her." ”
Wei Zishan's thoughts, Yu Lanqing is naturally clear.
He wanted to see Yu Moling look like she was wearing palace clothes, and he tried his best to accept it.
Anyway... This girl's heart has been delivered, so she is simply open-minded, the daughters of the Yu family naturally dare to love and hate, what is there to look forward to, since it has been decided, then go forward bravely.
Things are good, the three of them are happy, Wei Zishan still stayed in Cishou Palace for dinner before leaving, the clothes were sent in the afternoon, and after Wei Zishan left, Yu Lanqing and Yu Moling slowly selected under the candlestick.
said that it was only 'some' sent, Yu Lanqing looked at the pile of materials on the table, and smiled dumbly: "I'm afraid half of the good materials supplied this year are here." ”
It can be seen that Wei Zi is good-hearted.
Yu Moling finally chose only three things, the new clothes were ready, Yu Moling was not in a hurry to pass them on, just hung them on the hanger, looking at the beautiful and gorgeous lines on the top, as well as the delicate and unparalleled needlework.
There are no such good clothes outside, and even the clothes made by the best shops are far from being in the palace.
But what Yu Moling fell in love with was not this gorgeous and peerless dress, but Wei Zishan's heart for her.
Three months later, the envoys of the Great Zhou arrived in the capital of the Great Wei.
Wei Zishan asked Yun Mufan to greet him, and before the dinner began, Wei Zishan met the envoys in the Qianming Palace.
The envoy standing in the middle looked a little different from the one next to him, not only in his dress, but also in his bearing.
Wei Zishan felt strange, the other envoys seemed to be very in awe of him, and everyone saluted Wei Zishan, only the one in the middle, standing with his head held high, looking at Wei Zishan with a strange gaze.
This made Wei Zishan very unhappy, and his prestige as an emperor was obviously threatened.
"Why doesn't this envoy kneel?" Wei Zishan opened his mouth to ask, Zhao An came up from behind the teacup, just heard Wei Zishan angry, followed Wei Zishan's line of sight, and paused for a moment, the person in front of him...
The envoy hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "You are very similar to your father." ”
Wei Zishan was stunned for a moment, and then squinted his eyes: "How can the first emperor allow you to put your beak?!" The envoys of the Great Zhou Kingdom are so unreasonable?! ”
Zhao An wanted to step forward to talk to Wei Zishan, but the man glanced at him, blinked, and the god made the ghost pause, and then thought that he had missed the opportunity.
The messenger next to him also wanted to step forward to speak, but he stopped him, and Wei Zishan felt even more strange.
After staring at this person's face for a long time, Wei Zishan frowned, and suddenly felt a little similar to the vague face in his memory.
Seeing that Wei Zishan was thinking, the man didn't go around in circles, and said softly: "After many years, the eldest prince has grown so big. ”
He took off the envoy's hat, his face was all exposed in front of Wei Zishan, and he chuckled, looking a little unruly, and with some gentleness that had been precipitated over the years.
This man ...
Wei Zishan stood up suddenly, obviously recognizing: "Emperor Great Zhou? ”
Time has taken away a lot of Zhou Canghong's sharpness when he was young, and now he is more mature, and the once sharp light in his eyes has been replaced by generosity.
Wei Zishan didn't expect that there would be the Great Zhou Emperor in this envoy team, he frowned slightly, and said with some vigilance: "Why did the Great Zhou Emperor come like this?" ”
Zhou Canghong walked forward, walked in front of Wei Zishan, and smiled at him: "The new emperor's peace of mind is that I came here to find your mother, about my sister's death, and I still have some things I want to ask the queen mother in person, and the Great Wei Emperor is gone, many years of allies, I really should see it in person, I don't want to disturb too many people, I am also your mother's old friend, it can be regarded as a surprise for her, people have reached a certain age, so friends are always happy to see each other, I won't stay too long." ”
Is it to come to see Yu Lanqing?
Although Wei Zishan was vigilant in his heart, he quickly maintained a little softness on the surface: "I understand what Emperor Zhou meant. ”
Zhou Canghong saw Wei Zishan's expression change in his eyes, he was young and casual in the past, and in Wei Li's eyes, he was also a stinky boy, but he had some talent in court and politics, and a little spark burned the national conditions of the entire Great Zhou.
Today, he looked at Wei Li's son in front of him, he didn't know why, he was full of emotion, he took two steps, reached out and patted Wei Zishan's shoulder, and then put on the envoy's hat again, turned around and walked outside.
Just took two steps, Zhou Canghong turned around again and glanced at Wei Zishan deeply: "You are very similar to your father, your father is one of the few people I respect, and your mother is the same, they are a great pair of lovers, I hope you can do better than your father, I hope you can also be like your father, have a queen like your mother." ”
I hope you are a good emperor and live up to the peaceful and prosperous era that Wei Li fought so hard for.
Live up to the great Wei century.
Zhou Canghong left with the envoys, and only at dinner did he appear at the banquet again.
Yu Lanqing was seated with Wei Zishan, Yu Moling supported Yu Lanqing, she had a smile on her face, but it seemed incompatible with this excitement.
Zhou Canghong stared at her, her eyes were very wandering, she didn't feel like she was in this feast at all, there was no one around her, Yu Lanqing was no longer in the state she was in back then.
Her face is still the same beautiful, but from a distance, Zhou Canghong can also see Yu Lanqing's white hair.
Yu Lanqing, who lost Wei Li, also lost the sea of stars in his eyes.
Zhou Canghong retracted his gaze and drank with his head bored, he expected that Yu Lanqing would not sit in the banquet for too long, the young people were talking and laughing, and her children came to toast and talk to her, and then she asked the girls to talk to themselves, and they didn't have to stay with her all the time.
She was lonely.
At the top of 10,000 people, she is alone, and no one can be by her side anymore, which is the loneliness in the depths of the soul.
And only by enduring this loneliness can we truly mourn home.
Yu Lanqing knows this better than anyone else, so she completely accepts her loneliness, looking down on the life in front of her, but it has nothing to do with her.
After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating some dishes, he felt full, and then told Wei Zishan that he was a little tired, so he went back first, Yu Lanqing was willing to come Wei Zishan was already very grateful, seeing that Yu Lanqing looked tired, he naturally got up and personally helped Yu Lanqing out, and told her to take care of her body and rest.
Back at the banquet, Wei Zishan subconsciously looked at Zhou Canghong's seat, and sure enough, Zhou Canghong was no longer there.
Wei Zishan narrowed his eyes, turned his head and called Zhao'an, asking him to follow Yu Lanqing, don't let Emperor Da Zhou do anything beyond the rules and hurt Yu Lanqing.
Zhao An responded, and hurriedly followed.
There were no palace people on the way to Cishou Palace, everyone gathered in the southern suburbs to attend the party, and the wind blew, and the little drunkenness was already sober.
Yue Ying hugged Yu Lanqing and said softly: "Does the Queen Mother want to walk around?" ”
Yu Lanqing shook his head: "Go back." ”
Just past the corner, I saw a person in front of me, leaning against the door frame, suddenly raised his head and grinned at her: "Long time no see." ”
Yu Lan cleared up for a moment, but Yue Ying blurted out first, and shouted in surprise: "You... Emperor of the Great Zhou?! ”
After that, he glanced at Yu Lanqing's face, and hurriedly saluted, didn't he say that it was just the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why is the Great Zhou Emperor also here?!
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Lanqing's eyes, and then he regained his composure, this person was willful many years ago, and the gold leaf Yu Lanqing gave himself has never taken it out again, and now he is still doing it like this, not like it.
Zhou Canghong is not a teenager anymore, although he has some beard, he can still see a bit of stubborn temperament, he seems to be very dissatisfied with Yu Lanqing's reaction: "Aren't you surprised?" ”
Yu Lanqing lowered her eyes, she didn't know why, she was relieved to see Zhou Canghong like this.
It was like an old friend who hadn't seen her for many years, and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and for a moment, it seemed that she was not alone at the same height.
In her story, there is also a person who has also participated in her and Wei Li's lives, and that person is now in front of her, and if Wei Li sees it, he will definitely scold him to the death.
Stinky boy, dare to provoke, this is my queen!
Yu Lanqing could almost imagine Wei Li's expression and tone when she said this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously smiled, she couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or loss, but when she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Canghong again, she responded softly: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhou Canghong glanced at Yueying, who was waiting beside her, and whispered, "I'm here this time, I have something to say to you." ”
Yu Lan cleared his head, didn't let Yueying retreat, and didn't step forward himself: "It doesn't hurt for Emperor Da Zhou to say bluntly, there are no outsiders here." ”
Yueying has been with her for more than ten years, and Yu Lanqing feels that there is no need to avoid it, otherwise it will be even more strange.
Zhou Canghong raised her eyebrows, knowing that she had always had this kind of character, and she didn't force it, she stared at the ground against the door, and said in a deep voice: "I've already read Xi'er's letter, she didn't die of illness, right?" ”
He knows his sister too well, such a desperate and regretful tone, not the tone of a person who died of illness, the three cities she wanted, also revealed strangeness everywhere, Zhou Canghong is not stupid, he knows that Zhou Zhixi has something to say, and he also knows that the truth is not what she said in her letter, after Wei left, he thought about it, in addition to coming with a little selfishness, he still felt that he should ask Yu Lanqing in person, if it was Yu Lanqing, maybe he would tell him what Zhou Zhixi was for.
In fact, he himself can already vaguely guess something, but he just needs Yu Lanqing's affirmation.
"Lady... He died of illness. The light in Yu Lanqing's eyes was sincere, and she really didn't know about the conversation and transaction between Zhou Zhixi and Wei Li.
She only knew that in the end, Wei Li finally reconciled with Wei Zishan, and the throne was given to the person who should be given the most.
Zhou Canghong miscalculated, he thought that Yu Lanqing would know the truth, but Yu Lanqing didn't know either.
He stared at Yu Lanqing's eyes for a long time, and finally chuckled and muttered, "He must not have told you." ”
Yu Lanqing didn't hear clearly: "What? ”
Zhou Canghong waved his hand: "It's okay, Xi'er has been gone for many years, and it's nothing to pursue these, the new emperor now is the child that Xi'er raised back then, right?" ”
Yu Lanqing nodded and said yes, Zhou Zhixi raised Wei Zishan very well.
"She likes that child very much, I said in my correspondence before, when I got married, I persuaded her, and she really regretted it later, but I still have to thank you for Xi'er, if you don't give her that child, she will definitely be more sad in the future." Speaking of Zhou Zhixi, Zhou Canghong was obviously very lonely, this royal sister was spoiled by him, and finally saw her ashes sent back, Zhou Canghong also collapsed during that time.
So he can quite understand Yu Lanqing's feelings now, but the dead are gone forever, and the living have to continue to live.
"What about you?" Zhou Canghong sighed, he restrained his emotions very well, he stood up straight, and took two steps towards Yu Lanqing, "Are you okay?" ”
Yu Lanqing chuckled: "Naturally, it's very good, as the queen mother, the children are filial, and there is nothing to worry about, there is nothing better than this when you are idle." ”
"You're lying." Zhou Canghong said confidently, "Yu Lanqing, go out for a walk, I'll take you on a tour, what you said before counts." ”
What is this?
Maybe it's not the ignorant and impulsive love of the year, and his current queen is not bad, the two have respected each other over the years, although there is no love, but it is also the family affection that has accompanied each other for many years.
But in Zhou Canghong's heart, he has always been different from Yu Lanqing, his youthful love was first opened, it was because of Yu Lanqing, for so many years, he has never met a woman who is as transparent as Yu Lanqing's crystal that makes him fall in love at first sight.
Everyone is now a father and mother, Zhou Canghong has lost the thoughts of the past, but he still doesn't want to see Yu Lanqing lose his soul like this.
Yu Lanqing of Great Wei, the famous Middle Palace of Great Wei, should not be like this.
Even if it is an old friend, no matter what she thinks, Zhou Canghong still wants to take her out for a walk, so that she can let go of the obsession in her heart and stop torturing herself.
Yu Lanqing suddenly laughed, feeling that Zhou Canghong in front of him was no different from many years ago, his intentions were good, Yu Lanqing knew, but she had already gone out with Wei, it was a good time that she could reminisce countless times in the rest of her life, and now if she goes again, it will not be the state of mind of the year, let alone replace Wei Li and her time itinerary for most of the year.
She guarded those, and it was enough, enough for her to reminisce for the rest of her life.
"I've been there." Yu Lanqing said softly, "I've been to see him, I won't go to see the mountains and rivers with anyone in my life, the mountains and rivers he gave me, I have put them in my heart, and now I want to be here, guarding his mountains and rivers, I am the queen mother of Great Wei, and the only mourner in this deep palace." ”
After that, Yu Lanqing walked to Zhou Canghong's side and bowed his head gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, I will go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to worship, and I will go with me, but that's it, your identity is sensitive, you shouldn't come so rashly, although Zishan is still young, he is a child handed over by Wei Li, and if you see it tomorrow, go back to Da Zhou as soon as possible, don't let the new emperor have any suspicions in his heart." ”
Zhou Canghong frowned, looking back a little unwillingly.
"In the future, we may not see each other again, you have to take care of yourself." That's all Yu Lanqing can say, her eyes are very calm, and when she said those words, only when she mentioned that Wei Li had taken her to see the mountains and rivers, there was a brief light in her eyes, "I will also take care of myself, for Wei Li's advice, I will." ”
From the first sight to death, all she had was for him alone.
Yu Lanqing walked away, Zhou Canghong looked at her back, and did not withdraw his eyes until he disappeared at the end of the front.
He lowered his eyes, then smiled: "It still hasn't changed." ”
This stinky temper.
is as stubborn as Wei Li, what a natural pair.
But that's fine, Zhou Canghong looked up at the sky, and when he was about to walk forward, the figure hidden in the shadow outside the door moved closer to the wall.
Zhou Canghong didn't see the person in the shadows, and after the man saw him go away, he popped out of the shadows, and Zhao An stared at the direction where Yu Lanqing was walking away, raised his hand and wiped his tears.
Then, walk towards the southern suburbs.
