Chapter 158: The Emperor's Thoughts (I)
The queen's face could no longer be hung up, and her smile melted as quickly as ice under the scorching sun: "That's exactly what this palace thinks!" When the soup is cold, it can be hot! But you Jade Ruyi and Jade Guanyin are afraid that no matter how long they are placed, they will be cold! It's better to put it here directly, you go back first, and the palace will help you get it in later! ”
The corners of Yuwenyi's mouth twitched and he was about to say, but he was gently pulled by Yuwen, and the vermilion palace door beside him moved, and the waiter beside the emperor came out and saluted and said: "The emperor knows that the fifth princess and the seventh highness are back, and he wants to see the princess and his highness at this moment!" ”
Yu Wenyi raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said to the queen with a smile: "If the queen mother wants this soup, let the sons help you send it in!" The queen's angry long eyebrows were twisted into beads, and she turned to Gong E behind her and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't give the soup to the princess!" ”
Xiao Gong'e didn't raise her head, and hurriedly handed the tray up, Yuwenyi's hand stretched out, Gong'e's hand was put down, and the blue-glazed phoenix's head pot fell to the ground with a "snap" and shattered into pieces, and the milky white soup in it was scattered all over the ground, Yuwen and Yuwenyi dodged quickly, and the clothes were not splashed a little, but the queen's new skirt was splashed with soup, and even sticked to the rotten meat that had been stewed.
"Why are you so ignorant! Why did you let go before this princess could hold it firmly, this is the soup prepared by the queen mother for her father, can you take it? ”
Yu Wenyi's long eyebrows furrowed, and his face suddenly became fierce, and in the voice of questioning, Xiao Gong'e had already knelt on the ground tremblingly and begged for mercy again and again: "The slave should die, beg Princess Niangniang to spare her life!" ”
A flush flew on the queen's face, and the fine lines at the corners of her lips between her lips were even more obvious, but the emperor was in the hall at the moment and didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only lower his voice and say: "Useless minions, it's really a shame, get out into the hidden court and don't come back." ”
Poor little Gong'e's face turned pale and tears rolled down her face.
Yuwen Fan stretched out, raised Xiao Gong'e's chin, glanced left and right, and said: "This little maid is beautiful, it's a pity to send her to the Youting, the queen mother might as well reward her to her son, and let her be a little girl in the flower room." Neither lives up to this appearance nor bothers the queen mother! ”
The queen was provoked by Yu Wenyi's blood in the abdomen, and she also folded a palace maid, and she was almost fainting with anger, but she had to suppress her anger and maintain a dignified demeanor and said: "This is the palace of this palace, and if you do something wrong, it should be handled by this palace." His Royal Highness the Seventh has always liked to snuggle up to the green, is this hand still going to the palace? ”
Yuwen bowed his hand and said calmly: "Erchen knows that the queen mother is angry at the moment, and the decision she made will definitely be heavier." It is indeed too heavy to be punished to go to the dark court after knocking over the soup, the queen mother is the queen, and she should know that her father Taishan has been governing the government and the opposition with virtue after sealing Zen, if the queen mother must do this today, the father will definitely not be happy if he knows. What's more, my father is still sick at the moment, and he should be kind to govern the harem and the world and pray for his father's blessing. Erchen also did this for the sake of the queen mother. Please think twice. ”
Yuwenyi smiled silently, but she knew that the queen was already angry, and with Yuwen's words, the queen couldn't let it out, and watched the queen's phoenix eyes become more and more ruthless.
But the queen is still the queen, her heart is full of clouds, the muscles on her face are beating slightly, her eyes are cold, but she turned her mind and said with an impeccable smile: "Your Highness the Seventh is really thoughtful!" Since that's the case, then this palace will send you away! ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked away, and the waiter hurriedly ordered left and right: "Don't clean up yet!" ”
That little Gong'e kowtowed and knelt down again and again to thank Yuwen for saving his life, but Yuwen said with a blank expression: "No thanks, it's a pity to see that you are buried in the palace in a good year, you know the temperament of this king, go down and wait!" ”
Xiao Gong'e hurriedly lifted her dress and stepped back.
The two took the tray carefully handed by the entourage, and walked into the Hanyuan Hall under the guidance of the attendant.
The emperor was not in the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, but has been lying sick in the health hall of the apse of Hanyuan Palace.
Yuwen and Yuwenyi walked in all the way, the spring sun outside was charming, but the hall was much gloomy, even the Zhu Yan jade pillar was cold and cold, the silk curtain hung low, and the red pillar that the three of them could not embrace stood in the center of the hall.
The palace attendants all lowered their heads, and when they saw the prince and princess coming in, they only bowed mechanically, but there was no expression on their faces.
At the end of the curtain, the wide dragon bed hung an azure curtain, the jade hook hung upside down, and the curtain was raised, the aging emperor lost his heroic posture on the martial arts ceremony, his cheeks were plastered, and he lost a lot of weight, and even the ribs on his chest seemed to be visible under the bright yellow bedclothes.
On one side of the dragon bed, the green glaze carved flower hollow five-legged incense burner burned with Ganan incense, the incense was faint, the posture changed, the emperor's face was hidden behind the green smoke, Yuwen couldn't bear to feel a pain in his heart, handed over the tray in his hand to the waiter, stepped forward, and called softly beside the emperor: "Father!" After two lines, tears rolled down.
Yuwen clearly remembered that his father was in good health when Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, and a heavy crown dress could not stop him from climbing the mountain, and he recalled that when he was young, his father was in the prime of his life and repeatedly went to the Western Regions.
Although he is surrounded by wealth and honor at this moment, he is suffering from sickness! Little by little, the body is being consumed by illness.
But Yu Wenyi seemed a little calm, just lifted her skirt and knelt on the side of the dragon bed, although she was also calling "Father" in a low voice, but her complexion was much calmer!
Hearing the child's call, Emperor Wu Zhou slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled lovingly: "Son! Yi'er! You're finally back, how is the spring in Jiangnan? Is my father's country beautiful! ”
Yuwen secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly: "What Erchen saw on the way south from Mount Tai was the peace of the country and the people, the people were rich, and he appreciated the beauty of his father's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he couldn't say a word. The sons and daughters must enter the palace every day to tell their father what the sons saw along the way! Father, just recuperate with peace of mind! ”
The emperor smiled slightly, then shook his head slowly, and wanted to sit up with his hands propped up, but his body was unable to exert his strength, so the waiter hurriedly came over and carefully helped the emperor up, and took a brocade soft pillow to lean behind the emperor.
The emperor relieved the breath in his heart, his dim gaze wandered on Yuwenyi and Yuwen, and his hand like a withered claw was raised for a long time, as if he wanted to grab something, Yuwen hurriedly held it, and the emperor who only listened said faintly: "It is enough for my father to have the opportunity to seal Zen in this life, the country will be there forever, my father is already old, and the world will be yours in the future!" You still have a lot of time to appreciate the beauty of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! ”
