Chapter 54: The Plum Garden is Happy
Bei Yuliang also sighed and said, "Father hasn't been to see you for a long time, so I'll accompany you for a while today." ”
Yuejiu giggled, tired of being in his arms.
Li Mingquan took a cloak from the back room, light gray with navy blue edges, thin and thick, just right for today's temperature.
He put his cloak on my arm, and Nunu asked me to follow Kitayu Ryoya and them.
Bei Yuliang also walked away with Yuejiu, talking and laughing, and the picture was warm.
The plum garden is far away from here, but they don't feel tired, they will run before the moon 91, and then detour behind me, with a smile on their faces, bright and beautiful.
The Nine Emperor Princes Xin Li is like this, he is well protected by his aunt. always said that he had lofty ambitions to restore the country, but in fact, like teenagers of the same age, he had a lot of playfulness, although he was talented, but his kindness was too much, and it was difficult to take on heavy responsibilities.
My aunt always said that Xin Li would be a generation of benevolent monarchs, in my opinion, Renjun is only suitable for peaceful and prosperous times, if there was still a Renjun in the Warring States Period, the country would have been destroyed long ago.
When I arrived at the gate of the plum garden, I was full of prosperity, and the plum blossoms should be arrogant and beautiful, but at this time I can only describe it as prosperous. Cinnabar, palace powder, sprinkled gold, jade butterfly, the most difficult thing is that there are a few green calyxes, I think that the first emperor loved Concubine Mei very much, but in the end he ended up alone with tea and cool.
The temperature of the plum garden is lower than that outside, and Bei Yuliang also wears a cloak to explain the types of plum blossoms to Yuejiu, a little girl like Yuejiu, naturally likes palace powder, and refuses to move when she stands under the tree.
I like Lu You's plum blossom quatrain the most:
Smell the plum blossoms and the wind, and the snowdrifts are all over the four mountains.
How can he be incarnated into 100 billion, a tree of plum blossoms and a release.
He has written a lot of poems about plums, most of them are cold and arrogant, only this one makes me feel my true love for plum blossoms.
Bei Yuliang also broke off a small sprig of green calyx, walked in front of me, I thought he would chant a poem to respond to this situation, but who knew that he raised his hand to pin it to my sideburns, I touched it with my fingers, touched the tender petals, and the cold fragrance surrounded my body.
"Green calyxes are precious, so they should be given to precious people." He smiled, warmth smearing on his lips as if it could melt the snow all over the garden.
"For the hairpin." Yue Jiu shook his head and said, "I've seen it in folk dramas, this kind of scene, it's really, huh...... Raise your eyebrows? Wrong wrong...... Romantic? ”
Bei Yuliang also helplessly scraped the tip of her small nose with a slightly curved index finger. "I don't know how to study well for a day, so I watch the drama with all my might, and I can't even use an idiom correctly."
"Father! He's only nine years old, and it's already good to be able to say idioms! She looked up and looked at me over Ryoya Kitayu's shoulder. This sister looks so good wearing flowers! Father, I also want to wear flowers. ”
Bei Yuliang also folded off a jade butterfly, hairpin on the head of the moon nine, the light purple flowers of the jade butterfly, lined with rose-red clothes, endearing.
Yue Jiu circled around the courtyard, made a few movements, and shouted: "Father! Xiao Jiu jumps like Wanyi Niangniang? ”
Wanyi, there is only one person, Lian Wanyi, her movements are exactly what I danced at the palace banquet, it seems that this child is still very talented in dancing.
Bei Yuliang also nodded, looking at her dotingly, Yuejiu picked up a handful of unmelted snow on the ground, and threw it at Bei Yuliang, he dodged, and the handful of snow fell directly on my face, and my whole body was excited, fortunately, I didn't have the heart to apply powder in the morning like all the girls, otherwise I would definitely have a face.
Bei Yuliang also grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Yuejiu, Yuejiu dodged left and right, hiding behind me, and then I was baptized by the snow again.
"Sister play with us!" Yuejiu grabbed the low plum blossom branches, and the snow fell one after another, mixed with cinnabar-colored petals.
I grabbed a taller branch, let go and bounced high, falling snowflakes on the ground.
The laughter like the silver bell of the ninth moon was sprinkled in the plum garden, and they both threw snowballs at me in unison, and I also let go of my mind and threw snow at them.
It's been a few years since the last time I played like this, when I was still a little lady of the Liu family, and my aunts and sisters didn't like me, so I could only play with the son of the kitchen lady, and when it snowed, we would have snowball fights like now.
The snowflakes were all over the sky, and the curvature of my lips was unconsciously enlarged, and for the first time in this deep palace, I felt so relaxed.
I took a few steps forward, and there was a stone under my feet, and one of my centers of gravity was unstable, and I fell straight back, and I hurriedly reached out to hold myself on to the ground so as not to fall. Bei Yuliang also turned sideways, just wrapped around my shoulder, and grabbed his shoulder with both hands unconsciously.
The picture rewinds, that day I fell off the tree in order to get the paper kite, and it was he who caught me and made eye contact.
A few strands of hair hung down from his forehead and lay limply around my neck.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" A shout sobered me up, and I hurriedly got up and bowed down to the people behind me.
The Queen Mother was still holding a small stove in her hand, and her fingers with armor gently tapped the stove cover, and the patterns on the graceful and luxurious horse-faced skirt were complex and exquisite.
"The Queen Mother." Bei Yuliang also looked at him.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "What kind of system!" An emperor who went to this kind of place to chase and frolic with a palace maid, why don't you come to see me, an old woman, when you have all this spare time! ”
"Queen Mother, I brought her and Yuejiu here, I want to come and see the plum garden."
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on my hair, and she said angrily: "Take off the flowers, bad luck!" ”
"Go back to the palace with the mourning family!" She paused, pointed at me and said, "Kneel, don't get up until sunset." ”
"Queen Mother, this has nothing to do with her, if you want to punish her, punish me."
The Queen Mother smiled, mocking endlessly. "What? Just such a little palace maid, you are distressed? She's so capable. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, I cleared my throat and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has mercy on all sentient beings, has the world in his heart, and values benevolence. If he is replaced by Gonggong Li today, the emperor will also do his best to protect him, this is the blessing of Beiyan, the blessing of the harem, and naturally the blessing of the slave maid. ”
The Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, and my heart kept rising and falling, for fear that I would take a wrong step.
"You girl, you have a smart mouth." Her tone softened.
Yuejiu ran up and tugged at the corner of her clothes. "Grandma, it's Xiao Jiu'er who is not good, it is Xiao Jiu'er who wants her father and sister to play with me, don't blame them for being good."
The Queen Mother sighed and pinched Yuejiu's face. "Okay, grandma doesn't blame them, let's go, go to grandma's palace to eat delicious food." She led Yuejiu to walk a few steps, turned around and said, "Come on, get up." Go to the mourning palace with the emperor. ”
"Yes."
Fang just knelt in the snow, and the culottes at his knees were already soaked, and he only felt itchy at this time. It was only in the Queen Mother's Ning'an Palace that it was relieved.
Ning'an Palace burns sandalwood, calms the mind, and all impetuousness disappears.
This is the first time I went to Ning'an Palace, the Queen Mother doesn't seem to like extravagance, the furnishings in the palace are all caused by Nanyang black wood, light brown bead curtains to embellish, that's all.
Mama served two cups of hot tea, and Bei Yuliang also held the cup in his hand, his expression was confused, and his thoughts were not here.
Yuejiu's eyes had already been drawn to the sugar snowball on the plate, and the bright red seeded hawthorn was wrapped in granulated sugar, showing an attractive light pink luster.
Yue Jiu ate happily, and the previous unpleasant things have been thrown away.
The Queen Mother is a very important factor in the plan for the restoration of the country, and this chess piece should be put to good use, and I must find an opportunity to get close to her and win her favor, rather than being an enemy of her.
The Queen Mother spoke faintly, with some complaints in her tone: "I saw you once yesterday and you left, the mourning family is old, and I don't want you to see it, an old woman, lonely and lonely, waiting for a hundred years to return." ”
Bei Yuliang also closed the teacup and said: "The queen mother, it is the fault of being a son, and please don't be angry." ”
"Come on, it's hard for you to come once, and the mourning family won't talk about it, and you won't be annoyed." The queen mother leaned on the side of the soft couch, and a palace maid knelt down to beat her legs, and the rhythm was steady. "Recently, except for the dream concubine who is pregnant, there has been no happy event in the palace for a long time."
He nodded and said obediently: "I will arrange some troupes to add fun to the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and replied, "Okay, it's like that every year, it's so boring." The mourning family remembers that there is a cloud in the "Book of Rites", a man marries at thirty, and a woman marries at twenty. You said that the two children of Jinchen and Yixuan are really not worry-free, one has lost his wife for many years, and the other has shirked and not married, which is really anxious for the mourning family. ”
Hearing Beiyu Jinchen's name, I was stunned, and the afterglow touched Beiyu Liangyi's gaze, which was meaningful, I knew that he was too careful, and he had no choice but to turn his head sideways.
The Queen Mother took off her armor and rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers. "Yixuan is okay, at least there are a few concubines in the family, but Jinchen has no thoughts, as if it is none of his business to open branches and leaves for the royal family. What's the difference between going on like this and a monk, you say......" She frowned suddenly, lowering her voice. "This kid shouldn't have any hidden diseases......
Thinking of Beiyu Jinchen's innocent face, and listening to the Queen Mother's judgment, I almost couldn't help laughing.
Prince Xuan can go to Lanqing Garden in Linzi Town when he goes to the kiln, he must have experienced a hundred battles, how can there be a hidden disease.
"The Queen Mother." Bei Yuliang also looked at her helplessly.
The Queen Mother seemed to notice that she was a little embarrassed by her remarks, and coughed a few times to hide her emotions. A few days ago, Zhang Binliang chatted with the mourning family, and Jinchen seemed to be extremely satisfied, it happened that his eldest daughter was at the age of marriage, and the mourning family also intended to promote this marriage. The mourning family also asked Jinchen about his opinion on marrying a wife, and he didn't care, but he didn't reject it. ”
"Right phase?" Bei Yuliang also pondered.
Right Xiangzhang Binliang...... I always feel a little familiar, where have I heard this name.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked people to bring a portrait over, and the grandmother held the portrait in her hand, respectfully.
The scroll slowly unfolds, revealing the woman sitting on a chair with her hands stacked on her lap. Dignified and beautiful, demure and elegant. The light purple gauze skirt is like a dream, and the smile is overwhelming.
I was shocked, it was Su Rong......
