Chapter 136: Father and Daughter
Arnold's cry was very sad, and when he walked in the palace, those palace maids and chamberlains couldn't help but talk about it.
However, when they walked to the Imperial Garden, they bumped into a beautiful woman head-on, and saw her dressed in pale pink clothes, scattered flowers and mist pleated skirts, and a talian-colored smoke and soft veil.
With a flying bun on his head, six bright steps are obliquely inserted on it, which looks extremely extravagant.
After Feng Huang ascended the throne, he has always been thrifty, and even the gold and silver jewelry of the queen's mother is fixed, and now she can be so unruly that she is the emperor's favorite concubine.
Yu Zhiyan didn't know where this woman came from, only that she was a person from the old palace, but her appearance was somewhat similar to herself.
I only heard that it used to be called Yan'er, and I didn't even have a serious name, but it was Feng Huang who gave him the surname Mu.
She was sitting in the gazebo of the Imperial Garden, with five or six palace maids serving by her. Seeing Yu Zhiyan and Arnold coming, he hurriedly walked over.
"Yo, isn't this the most beloved girl of the saint, Arnold, crying decently." She blocked the way of Yu Zhiyan, and only leaned down to wipe the tears from Arnold's face with a handkerchief. "Look at how miserable you are crying, as if you have died of your own mother."
Arnold's crying gradually stopped, and Yu Zhiyan only said lightly, "Don't bother." ”
This Mu Yan'er relied on Feng Huang's favor, and almost didn't even care about the queen's mother. Fenghuang is not a woman, and there is only one concubine and one concubine in the palace
Later, Lin Caohua was also only interested in the prince, where could she take care of her, so she became more and more pampered and arrogant.
And she had long heard that Feng Huang often went out of the palace to meet a courtier, and the people in the court also talked about it, and it was even rumored that the daughter of this courtier was also the emperor's blood.
She had seen Arnold a few times, and looked carefully at the similarity between this pink-carved child and Fenghuang, and she was relieved.
Mu Yan'er saw that Yu Zheyan's face was veiled, but the only eyes that were exposed were extremely beautiful, especially the agate-like eyes, which made people can't help but like it.
"It's just a matter of seeing that the palace doesn't have a surname, and it's so unreasonable, but it's really a rural village woman, I don't know the depths." She said coldly.
Yu Zhiyan looked at her directly, without fear, "The emperor has decreed that I will not kneel to anyone, if the mother is dissatisfied, just ask the emperor." ”
Seeing that she was holding the phoenix to press herself, she only sneered: "This palace knows what the queen is looking for you to enter the palace for, the prince is not learned and has no skills, and the emperor has long been extremely bored." ”
After all, Mo Shu is her own flesh and blood, how can she not be annoyed by someone who is being practiced like this, she only said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this matter." ”
Although Na Arnold was angry, he was his mother after all, and when he saw that he was being bullied, he grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and wiped it off Concubine Xian's skirt.
The skirt on Concubine Xian's body was embroidered with gold thread, and it was the finest smoke yarn, and when she saw that she was soiled by a naughty girl, she reached out and pushed Arnold to the ground.
"Do you know how much silver this dress is worth?" Mu Yan'er said angrily, "Give the palace the mouth of their mother and son." ”
When Yu Zhiyan saw Arnold fall to the ground, his face turned blue with anger, and he looked coldly at the palace people who came up.
"I see which of you dares to do it." Yu Zhiyan's voice was cold, and his eyes were cold.
The people in the palace are all understanding people, and naturally they know that the relationship between this lady and the emperor is extraordinary, and they only stand from a distance and watch, and no one dares to do anything.
Seeing this situation, Mu Yan'er was half dead in anger, but she had no choice but to watch Yu Zhiyan leave with Arnold in her arms.
After Yu Zhiyan returned to his small courtyard, he hurriedly asked the maid to bring medicine, and when he opened his clothes, he saw that his thin arms were broken.
After Yu Zhenyan helped her apply the medicine, when she raised her eyes, she looked at herself with tears in her eyes, looking wronged.
"That's a crazy woman, you must not provoke her next time." Yu Zhiyan gently rubbed the back of her head, "A-Niang shouldn't beat you today, it's okay to accompany you for a crime." ”
The tears in her eyes were still held back by her, and she hugged Yu Zhiyan at once, "Auntie, can you take me to find my father." ”
Yu Zhiyan's eyes were full of gloomy looks, "Don't you want to live in a beautiful house like the palace, your father will build it for you, and when it is finished, he will come to pick up our mother." ”
Arnold was a child after all, and he was almost convinced of Yu Zhiyan's words, and suddenly burst into tears, "Then Arnold's father is handsome?" ”
Yu Zhiyan stretched out his hand and took the bronze mirror on the table, "Your father looks very similar to you, and when you see someone as handsome as you in the future, it will be your father." ”
Arnold took the mirror and looked at it for a while, then reluctantly threw it away and fell asleep.
Yu Zhiyan knew that she was tired today, so she only took a fan and slowly fanned it for her. Arnold slept soundly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until the wrist of the fan was a little sore that she put down the fan and walked out of the house.
Her maid hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Madam." ”
Since she moved here, Feng Huang has found her a maid and two servants. This maid used to be a serious lady, and the family was sold as a slave after the defeat of the family.
But Yu Zhiyan didn't treat her very kindly, because she knew that this maid was just sent by Feng Huang to monitor her, and he would tell Feng Huang everything about himself.
Out of Xiu smiled lightly: "Madam, the carriage to go to the temple tomorrow has been prepared, if you take Miss Arnold, the slave maid will prepare more melons, fruits and cakes, the girl in the province is hungry." ”
Yu Zhiyan thought for a while, "Tomorrow Arnold will also go, you will bring her lilac burqa, the mountain is cold, it will always be used." ”
**********
The light of the octagonal palace lamp in the Jinluan Hall reflected Feng Huang's back on the dragon chair behind him, and Feng Huang had been sitting here all day, even all night
The meal was also hastily eaten a few bites.
Liu Xuanwu was coming over with a teacup, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, your sleeves are worn out again, and they have been sewn twice this month, so let's ask someone to make a new one." ”
After Feng Huang ascended the throne, he was extremely thrifty, and this dragon robe was also mended and mended, and he wore it for four whole years. And because of his criticism all day long, his sleeves have been worn thin.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, "A dragon robe costs 30,000 taels of silver, which is enough to feed hundreds of people, how can I be so extravagant and wasteful." ”
Liu Xuanwu couldn't help but shake his head, but saw that a few beads on the jade crown had been torn off by Arnold, and he was busy looking for them on the ground with his head down.
He was looking for it, but saw the guards guarding outside the hall entering the hall respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang asked to see him, saying that there is something important to play." ”
Feng Huang's eyes lifted from the fold, and he put the wolf in his hand on the inkstone, "Let him in." ”
After just a moment's work, the king hurriedly entered the hall, and after asking for peace, he didn't wait for Feng Huang to ask, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, when the people of Dali Temple were inspecting the capital, they caught Shangguan Zuo, who was Gu Jue's cronies, who disappeared in Luoyang with him, and must know Gu Jue's whereabouts over the years." ”
Most of the people who left with Gu Jue at the beginning were the guards in the palace in the past, and they were all children of powerful people. And Shangguan Zuo's father passed away a few days ago, so he must have come to Beijing to worship his father.
In the past four years, Feng Huang heard Gu Jue's news for the first time, and immediately said: "Call the people of Dali Temple to interrogate immediately, and then strengthen the guards, if someone rescues him, I will not spare him." ”
That Lord Wang took the order and hurriedly left, if he could really trace Gu Jue's whereabouts, he would be promoted to become rich just around the corner.
Liu Xuanwu finally found all the beads, and looked at the sky outside, "Your Majesty, you better rest early, which lady's palace are you going to today, so that people can send a letter to the past, so that the ladies can prepare to drive." ”
Now there are only two masters in the harem, and there are fewer intrigues, and the worship room is even exempted from the green head card.
Feng Huang closed the approved recital, "Go to the palace of the virtuous concubine." ”
Liu Xuanwu knew that Feng Huang loved the virtuous concubine, and most of the time he went to the palace of the virtuous concubine, but the queen was neglected, so it was no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was upset for his mother.
When Mu Yan'er got the letter, she was naturally very happy. She made it difficult for Yu Zhiyan today, and pushed the little girl again, although she was not afraid on her face, she was also afraid that Feng Huang would ask her for guilt.
Besides, this palace has always been the most falsely rumored place, and I don't know what will become of the matter when it reaches Feng Huang's ears.
She asked the maid to paint her delicate makeup, painted a peach blossom with cinnabar between her eyebrows, smoked her clothes with agarwood, and walked with a beautiful posture.
Mu Yan'er stayed outside the palace gate early, and when she saw the royal servant coming, she knelt down busily, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
Feng Huang got down from the sedan chair, but he didn't look at her at all, and just walked straight to the hall. She couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, but she secretly looked at Feng Huang's face, and it was still light and light in the past, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two of them entered the hall, Feng Huang sat on a chair, looking at the golden plate with pastries on the table, and couldn't help but change his eyes.
"Why, now I don't even use porcelain, and I use gold instead?"
Mu Yan'er used to be just a rough maid, and she had not been in the palace for all these years, and she saw Feng Huang asking, so she hurriedly replied attentively.
"The emperor still likes it, it is the concubine who personally ordered the people in the office to make a few sets of gold utensils."
Feng Huang's face was still as plain as water, and he looked at her and said, "Arno's child likes the skirt of Xiangyun yarn, you can make one for her tonight, and then use the stitch method of silk embroidery to embroider four butterflies for her." ”
Hearing this, Mu Yan'er's face suddenly changed, this silk embroidery is extremely difficult, these four butterflies can't be embroidered for a few days and nights, he asked her to embroider overnight, I'm afraid that she is deliberately making things difficult for herself.
Concubine Xian understood, she was extremely aggrieved, "The emperor blames the concubine for pushing Na Arnold today, the concubine-"
Feng Huang's eyes seemed to have a faint layer of coldness, "I just asked you to make a shirt for Arnold, how to blame." ”
At this time, Concubine Xian finally knew that she was afraid, and it turned out that the most terrifying thing was not the person who showed his fangs to her, but the person who stood in front of her and smiled at her.
**********
Yu Zhiyan packed up his things early to go to the temple outside the city, and Arnold couldn't erase his playful face because he was going out to play.
The little servants had already prepared the carriage, and according to Yu Zhiyan's instructions, they did not look for anything too gorgeous.
Before anyone could bring a stool, Yu Zhiyan put Arnold on the carriage first. She didn't wait for Yu to break the smoke, she lifted the curtain herself and got inside.
However, Arnold, who got into the carriage, soon let out a scream, which caused Yu Zhiyan, who was stepping on the stool to climb up, to slip and almost fall.
Yu Zhiyan hurriedly went up, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw that Feng Huang was actually inside, and Arnold was getting into his arms, and his delicate arms were still tightly holding his arms.
"Why are you here?" Yu Zhiyan frowned tightly.
"Every day, I review the recitals and go to the temple outside the city to relax." Feng Huang's thin lips fell on Arnold's fair cheeks, and his eyes were full of pampering, "Besides, Arnold also wants me to accompany her." ”
Yu Zhiyan looked at them, and couldn't help but think of Gu Jue, if Arnold could be happy under his knees at this time, how good it would be.
But before he left, he still believed that the child in her womb was Fenghuang.
