Chapter 186: The flat ground is dark and undulating
Other people's families are thousands of happy to welcome back their own family, but the former Tang Wang's family, but there are three concubines, two of whom are also high-level gossip spread, which immediately attracted the talk of good deeds, and some even made up ballads, ironizing the former Tang King for selling his daughter for glory and hoping that his daughter would become a phoenix.
The king of Tang has been deposed as a concubine, although he was treated preferentially by the Celestial Empire, and still lived in a house that was not too dilapidated, but according to the old practice, he could no longer use the vermilion lacquer copper nail gate and the beast head stone statue, but wrote a stone mansion vaguely on the plaque.
Today's Shifu is different from the usual. Since the early hours of the morning, the street has been splashed with clean water, and the satin silk has been paved, since the streets and alleys, they are all blocked by road curtains, although the surrounding idle people stretched their necks, and wanted to witness the grand occasion of the palace concubines, but they could only see through the deep curtain fabric, and vaguely saw the figures.
The middle door of the stone mansion was wide open, and the men of the family gathered outside the door to greet them, while the female dependents dressed up and waited in the second gate.
The former Tang King was wearing a robe with a Ning silk bat pattern, and his appearance was still clear, but there were a few more strands of gray hair, which added to his old age.
He half-bowed his head, looking overjoyed and surprised, only the fingers clenched in his sleeves trembled slightly, showing the panic and uneasiness in his heart.
After waiting for more than an hour, a palace envoy in red rode to the gate of Shifu on horseback, and reported in a flat tone, but it made the former queen who was waiting in the second gate cry in a low voice.
There were also tears in King Tang's eyes: his beloved daughter, such a proud and wise child, had never seen each other since she entered the deep palace, and I don't know how she was doing?
While speaking, the team of twelve pairs of palace eunuchs has appeared on the street, and in the neat and strict procession, Xuan He is slowly walking in a luxurious manner, and there is a faint sound of fine music. A pair of dragons and phoenixes, pheasant feathers, and a gold furnace burning incense, and then a crank seven phoenix golden umbrella over, is the crown robe with shoes. There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, dusting and so on. After a team of people, behind is eight eunuchs carrying a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix version, slowly walking, a world majestic, the rear of the team is another vermilion Feiluan of the chariot, and then look at the time, there is a faint cloud satin sedan chair, it is really not real.
The palace envoy shook off the dust, and his sharp voice made people's hearts tremble, "Niangniang is driving here, and everyone still kneels to greet her?" ”
The tears of excitement in Tang Wang's eyes stagnated, he sighed lightly, lifted the hem of his robe and began to bow, and everyone behind him knelt on the ground, and for a while there was a crowd of people in front of the door, but they all knelt on the ground, and no one dared to raise their heads without authorization.
"Father, please get up."
Tian Mei's smiling voice just said it lightly, without the excitement that she should have when she saw her relatives.
Hearing this completely unfamiliar voice, Tang Wang trembled on his body, and his face showed a look of disbelief - the one sitting in the middle of the phoenix was not his beloved palm bead Danjia
He knelt there straight, but in the eyes of the palace envoy, he didn't understand the rules, so his face sank, and he reprimanded: "Concubine Xian Niangniang called, why didn't Lord Shi move?" ”
Virtuous concubine Niangniang
These four words entered the ears of Tang Wang, it was completely unfamiliar, he froze for a moment, and then remembered who it was, he blinked like a dream, stood up quickly, and his eyes stayed on the luxurious phoenix, but it was indescribably complicated and irritable
Concubine Xian is one of the four concubines, compared to the "Concubine Jia", which is a concubine with a name, it is absolutely only high, not low, and I heard that the emperor is quite fond of her, so the first to get started must be her car
The impression of the fifth daughter in his mind was extremely thin, and it could even be said that he couldn't remember what she looked like.
The frail and sickly Concubine Yu was not very favored by him in the first place, and after she died, this daughter was even less in his heart, and even the annual New Year's Festival celebration did not look at her much.
What's more, "that incident" came out later
King Tang seemed to remember something extremely secret and terrifying, his face turned pale, his brows furrowed, and his whole person seemed to fall into silent panic.
"Father, I'm tired, let's go and rest first."
Although the voice is sweet and playful, it is not a tone of discussion, but a direct inform.
"Yes, yes...... It's really hard for the mother to trek all the way. ”
Tang Wang's words were answered quickly, but there was no excitement or emotion, his voice was flat as if he was talking about someone else's family, but his eyes had already begun to patrol the chariot of the second car.
The car then entered the middle gate and entered the stone mansion all the way, leaving countless idlers stealing and breeding, gossiping.
Above the main hall, the three palace concubines officially visited everyone, and the top one was the fifth lady who had not been cared about before, the new favorite of the current emperor, the virtuous concubine Danli. She wore an ice blue skirt with a lotus pattern, a snow-colored orchid pattern on her half arm, a light vermilion satin knot around her waist, which was beautiful in her elegance, and there was only a white jade hairpin in her hair, and a flying fairy hairpin with tired beads - the other sideburns trembled slightly, but it was a crystal lotus hairpin, shining brightly, as if it had stabbed King Tang's eyes, he glanced to the side, just looking at his eldest daughter.
Dan Jia sat down, and compared to Dan's occasional light laughter, she was so thin and silent that it was uneasy. And Dan Ying, who was at the bottom, was only assigned a porcelain round stool, and she sat very aggrieved.
Tang Wang's heart ached, almost burst into tears, he looked at Dan Li with some disgust and impatience, and his gaze on Dan Jia's body was both worried and painful.
If it weren't for my father, I am afraid that Danjia would have married into the Jin Kingdom long ago and lived a life of only envying mandarin ducks and not immortals.
It's his father who is too useless......
He closed his eyes and interrupted Danli's noisy noise, "Niangniang must be tired, and your mother also has a few words to tell you, why don't you go into the inner curtain first, and then talk about them one by one?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Dan Li's answer was still heartless.
Tang Dynasty and Dan Jia made a look, the latter seemed to understand something, and hope gradually sprouted in his dead eyes, but in the end, it turned into a trace of determination, a sense of agitation
Could it be...... He's coming?
Facing her excited and unbelieving eyes, Tang Wang nodded with a smile, and his smile was doting and sad.
Dan Li raised his head and chest, and the noble lady's posture was still straight, seeing that Tang Wang was absent-minded, his eyes rolled, and then he said: "Father, this welcome is very lively, how much silver did it cost?" ”
Tang Wang was shouted, his heart was in turmoil, how could he be impatient to talk to her more, and said perfunctorily: "There are probably tens of thousands." “
"Really? This is too much, next time you must not be so wasteful, you know, father, you are no longer the emperor now, if you continue to toss like this, I am afraid that our family will be ruined again."
These words are nondescript, ridiculous and touching, everyone frowned when they heard it, some people were pouting and laughing, but Tang Wang's heart was chuckling - the second half of the sentence echoed in his ears with an inauspicious and cold hint: If we continue to toss like this, I am afraid that our family will be ruined again......
