Chapter Seventy-Two: The Favored Queen
At this time, Wei Wenchu, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, strode through the garden path and shouted, "Jiayang! ”
The group bowed and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”
Wei Wenchu was about to walk to Jiayang's side, but Yang Jieyu stopped in front of him, crying again and again. Wei Wenchu opened his lips and said, "Why are you crying?" ”
Yang Jieyu pretended to be pitiful and glanced at Jiayang and then at Dugu Muyu, sobbing again and again but silently, at this time Yang Jieyu's personal maid knelt on the ground and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Fang Cai Niangniang failed to recognize Prince Mu and Princess, and lost her manners, so the queen Niangniang punished Niangniang for copying the "Female Rules" and "Female Rings" a hundred times behind closed doors. ”
Yang Jieyu glanced at the figure in front of her, sobbed and said, "Is this matter a concubine, and the queen should punish the concubine." ”
"Your Majesty is here, let the courtiers find it!" King Kang stepped over in a python robe, his sword eyebrows were lightly raised, and his whole body was filled with an arrogant and non-inferior atmosphere.
King Kang looked at Jiayang and said, "The minister has seen the queen's mother. After saying that, his eyes drifted over Dugu Muyu, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of King Kang's mouth: "Prince and Princess Mu are also here today." ”
Dugu Muyu owed her body lightly, she didn't dare to forget the fact that King Kang went to the palace to show off her power that day, and Qianxue on her side also held her breath and buried her head low.
Wei Wenchu's face showed uncomfortable traces, and he coughed twice: "What is the matter with King Kang looking for orphans?" ”
The corner of King Kang's eyes skimmed Yang Jieyu, who was crying, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is not very important. It's just that I don't know what wrong Yang Jieyu has done. ”
Yang Jieyu took advantage of the situation to cry more and more aggrieved, these concubines were all selected by Jiayang and the Queen Mother, and Wei Wenchu didn't know the people in front of him who were dressed up in flamboyant clothes. As soon as King Kang's words fell, the little eunuch beside Wei Wenchu hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Yang Jieyu is the daughter of Duke An Guo and the sister-in-law of King Kang. ”
Wei Wenchu's eyebrows flashed a trace of impatience, the four princes who had rebelled at the beginning were just a chess piece, and he knew King Kang's wolf ambitions. King Kang secretly colluded with the courtiers to count, looking at this posture today, he wanted to excuse that fake woman. Wei Wenchu opened his lips and said: "King Kang, even if Yang Jieyu is your sister-in-law, King Kang, as a minister of the previous dynasty, has his hand also stretched out to Lone's harem?" ”
"The queen is the master of the harem, since it is the queen's decision, she will never interfere, Yang Jieyu, don't go back!" The voice carried undoubted majesty and fierceness, and the air was suddenly filled with a depressing aura. Yang Jieyu was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, she thought that King Kang would be able to stand up for her, but who would have thought that His Majesty would not give her half of her face.
King Kang's face suddenly sank a little, and he opened his lips and said: "This matter is a matter that the minister has not thought about, please forgive your majesty." ”
Wei Wenchu's face was extremely gloomy, and Jiayang opened his lips when he saw this: "Your Majesty, King Fang Cai Kang said that there is something important to discuss, and the concubine will retreat first." ”
King Kang opened his lips and said, "The minister is here to report on the affairs of His Majesty Wu Guo. Wei Wenchu grabbed Jiayang's hand, rubbed his temples and said lightly: "Since it doesn't matter what you said just now, then let's discuss it at a later date, if you are lonely, you can retreat." ”
King Kang glanced at Dugu Muyu, who was standing on the side, and a trace of uncertainty slipped under his eyes, and he arched his hand and said, "In this case, the minister will retire." ”
In the matter of Wu State, what King Kang wanted to say was nothing more than to ask him to cut the city and negotiate peace with Wu State. It sounds good to avoid the war leading to the destruction of lives, and the conspiracy and calculation are probably known only to King Kang himself.
Qianxue's tight strings loosened a little, and Dugu Muyu gently patted her hand to comfort her. Wei Wenchu was very easy-going when he was the crown prince, and today's majestic imperial posture of Wei Wenchu really makes Dugu Muyu feel daunted.
After King Kang left, Wei Wenchu took off the majestic look on his face, hugged Jiayang's waist and asked with concern: "Look, after accepting so many women into the palace, don't you still find trouble for yourself." ”
Jiayang did not regret the matter of taking a concubine, he inherited the unification at a young age, and all the forces in the court were ready to move. The concubine can block the mouths of the people, and secondly, she can win the hearts of the people and consolidate the situation.
Dugu Muyu looked at the scene of Qin Se and Ming, but confirmed that the rumors in the market were not groundless, and he was sincerely happy. He opened his lips and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's not early, and the concubine will retire first." ”
Jiayang took her hand and said reluctantly: "Then let's go." She owed a debt and retreated, and she still knew how to marry.
Dugu Muyu's figure has long been gone, Jiayang is still looking up, Wei Wenchu said sourly: "Jiayang, you are so reluctant to Princess Mu?" ”
"That's natural, the concubines are imprisoned in this gorgeous palace every day, how different from a canary." Jiayang's tone was full of melancholy and loss, and Wei Wenchu's heart was tangled in a mess. It's just that he and Jiayang were born in the royal family, and they are destined to have no freedom, and they will be imprisoned by power and interests for the rest of their lives.
Wei Wenchu took her hand and walked to the pavilion and sat down, and his warm hand stroked Jiayang's slightly convex lower abdomen. At this time, there was a slight movement suddenly from the palm of his hand, he was stunned, and said incoherently: "Jiayang, Fang Cai, he is, but moved?" ”
A loving smile appeared on the corner of Jiayang's mouth and nodded. Wei Wenchu was pleasantly surprised to attach his ear to Jiayang's lower abdomen and listened carefully, but after a long time, he didn't get anything. The corners of Wei Wenchu's mouth drooped: "Why is there no movement again, I'm afraid it's a lazy worm!" ”
Jiayang curled his lips and chuckled: "The month is still young, Your Majesty is not in a hurry." "If this child knows that he was disliked by his father before he was born, I am afraid that he will be very sad.
Wei Wenchu's eyes were still full of disgust, it was this kid who tossed Jiayang and couldn't eat or sleep well. Wei Wenchu carefully hugged Jiayang's waist: "Weifu thinks that this must be a kid, and as soon as he lands alone, he will be named the prince, and see if he still makes trouble." ”
Jiayang looked at him funny and said, "How does Your Majesty know that he is a kid?" ”
Wei Wenchu said with a firm look in his eyes: "Father and son are connected, and the husband is knowing." After saying that, I looked at the birds in the sky, and the memories of my childhood came to mind. When he was canonized as the crown prince, he had endless schoolwork every day, which was several times that of ordinary princes. The father often asked questions to test their brothers, and his father's expectations for him were higher than those of other princes, and if he didn't answer well, he would always be scolded.
Wei Wenchu's eyes slid with a hint of cunning and said: "When he becomes the prince, he can't afford to make trouble even if he has three heads and six arms." It's better to entrust this country to him one day earlier. ”
Jiayang knew that Wei Wenchu was able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, not only because of his son-in-law. After he ascended the throne, he greatly reduced the collection of taxes, just as he did when he was in power, and he was sympathetic to the suffering of the people.
Wei Wenchu said slowly: "Lao Qi is extremely talented, whether it is Wen Tao or Wu Luo, he is the top among the princes. But he never showed himself in front of people, and he didn't fight or grab anything. Therefore, when Lao Qi talked about the two of them that day, Lone was already dead,"
Wei Wenchu stared at Jiayang's gloomy eyes and said, "Jiayang, my husband knows that you have always been suspicious of that matter. Jiayang lowered his eyes and was silent, Wei Wenchu picked her chin, looked at her eyes affectionately and said: "Jiayang, I want you to know that now there is only one in Lone's heart, and there is no room for anyone else." ”
Jiayang was still silent, and now he had held a true heart in front of her. She couldn't believe it, and the more she hoped in her heart, the more scared she became.
Wei Wenchu lowered his head and kissed her delicate red lips, gently inhaled her sweet breath, and let go of the person in his arms without returning. Holding her shoulder, he said in a dumb voice: "Jiayang, this imaginary six palaces is the sincerity of the husband, completely, without leaving half a point." ”
Jiayang looked at the sparkling lake, and the corners of his mouth showed a real smile, and Wei Wenchu lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. As the saying goes, the eyes are lowered and a smile is born, and the color of the six palaces is lost.
After autumn, the weather gradually became cooler, blowing this customary breeze, and after a while, Jiayang leaned on his arms and fell asleep. Wei Wenchu took the cloak in Jing Wen's hand and put it on her body, and gently carried her back to Fengming Palace.
When he put her on the couch, Wei Wenchu walked to the hall outside, kneeling neatly on the ground. Jing Wen stepped forward and bowed and said, "The people waiting in Fengming Palace are all here. ”
Wei Wenchu glanced at the people on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The queen is now pregnant with Liujia, and she should pay special attention to her diet and daily life, and she must wait carefully." If something goes wrong, Lone will not be spared! ”
The majestic and fierce voice fell in the temple, and the heads of the people on the ground did not dare to raise their heads, and they all bowed: "Slaves/slaves obey orders!" ”
Wei Wenchu just set off and stepped out of Fengming Palace, and now there are so many women in the palace, and the hearts of the people in the deep palace are the most unfathomable. When he was in the Prince's Mansion, Wei Wenchu still had palpitations when he thought of it, and Wei Wenchu had to be careful.
When Dugu Muyu walked outside the palace gate, one person stopped her, wasn't this person from King Kang's side? Qianxue also recognized the man, and took Dugu Muyu's hand and stepped back. I saw that the man's cunning eyes narrowed slightly and said, "Prince Mu, my prince is invited!" ”
She looked at the man coldly and said, "King Kang has nothing to do here, why hide and hide." With that, she took Qianxue's hand and walked to the other side, and four or five sturdy soldiers were immediately surrounded by her, all holding long swords in their hands. The inky sedan curtain in front of him was pulled up, and King Kang revealed half of his gloomy face and opened his lips and said, "Please!" ”
She glanced at the sedan chair waiting for her in the distance, grabbed Qianxue's hand tightly and said, "King Kang's hospitality is difficult, and it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." He got into the sedan car in front of him, and the sound of the grunting axle sounded.
Qianxue looked at Dugu Muyu with a frown, and whispered after half a sound: "Princess, the slave maid thinks that this trip is full of dangers, and she is just outside the palace, if the slave and maid shout loudly, presumably King Kang will not be able to help the princess." ”
Dugu Muyu closed her eyes tightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”
