Chapter 36: The Lady (5)
It's just that Xuanyuan Che has been hidden for many years, and if you want to succeed, you have to have the help of the queen mother.
"It's not worth it for the son-in-law to replace the mother! If the son ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely take the title of Concubine Mei, so that the queen mother can enjoy the honor alone! The thought in his mind was a little impatient to do something.
"Presumptuous! Lang'er! As a prince, how can you speak so thoughtlessly? The matter of Concubine Mei should not be mentioned again! "Empress Xiaoci only has this one son in front of her, what he thinks in his heart, is to move his eyebrows slightly, she is already seven or eight. But now things are extraordinary, the deep meaning of his words made her tremble a little, although she has never been favored by the emperor, but she has always been the head of the six palaces, the mother of a country, how can she do that thing that makes the world criticize?
……
Since ancient times, in the palace, the brotherhood of brothers and sisters is very weak, and there are many people who kill their brothers and fathers in order to compete for power and seize the throne.
It's just that Emperor Fuxuan couldn't have imagined that his will to mourn the whole country together would indirectly change the fate of several people.
Since the king of Qin begged the emperor to marry him regardless of his filial piety, some old ministers in the court who originally respected him also kept their distance from him, lest he do something out of the ordinary one day and involve them together.
In this way, the prince was asked to pick up the cheap in vain.
Most of those courtiers who were far away from him were attached to the crown prince Xuanyuan Lang, and often praised the prince's words and deeds in front of the emperor, and the flattery gradually revealed.
Not to mention the courtiers, the emperor has always loved King Qin, and Concubine Mei's funeral period has passed, so he ordered King Qin to enter the regency hall and deal with the prince, the prime minister, and deal with the major affairs of the court.
But since the death of his mother, King Qin's already cold temperament has deepened and become more and more unpredictable, and he rarely speaks when he sees the emperor on weekdays, but just greets him according to etiquette. As for the affairs of the court, he had no intention of interfering, even if the emperor ordered him to enter the regency hall and govern together with the prince and others, he never stepped into the regency hall from beginning to end.
For this reason, there are many good people who are talking in private, but the prince who is out of the house is really unbearable, first there is King Rui who only cares about lingering in the mountains and rivers, and does not see anyone all year round, but now the King of Qin is also this virtue, and he really failed the emperor's love.
King Qin's public request for marriage was fruitless, but the plan of the prince and the prime minister failed, which not only angered the prince, but also provoked the prince to be so harsh on her mother and daughter.
Mrs. Xue was depressed all day long, just sitting in front of the window, looking at the few jasmines in the courtyard that had long been frozen to death, and when she smelled the wind and grass, she would occasionally say to Yumo, "Mo'er, it's cold." Bring that mink coat from the cupboard to your daddy! ”
Yumo just said in a low voice, turned around, looked at the deserted courtyard and sighed secretly, Mother, Mo'er is not filial, and the mother is here......
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Xuyuan has no sense of festivity. The huge garden is particularly lonely in the wind and snow.
On weekdays, there are seventeen or eighteen waiters alone, and all kinds of uses in the garden are of the highest quality, not to mention the New Year, even if it is the most inconspicuous solar term, the garden is dotted with a festive atmosphere.
Since she was thirteen years old in the summer, after the prince divorced, Xuyuan has been deserted day by day, but at that time, her father still missed her mother after all, but she was just to blame her for not being angry.
Now, I'm afraid that even if my father still has a mother in his heart, he will not set foot in this garden again.
All the servants in the garden were called to the Hibiscus Garden by Mrs. Ping, and the mother completely broke with her father because of her protection, and the mother and daughter are now only guarding the empty Xu Garden.
All things happened to her. She is sorry for her mother, and she is sorry for Brother Che......
By the way, Brother Che, it's been half a year since I said goodbye to the Imperial Garden that day. I wonder what he's doing now? Are you still immersed in the grief of Concubine Mei's death......
These days, she is so busy taking care of her mother that she has no time to take care of him. Only in the dead of night, occasionally thinking of his slightly cold eyes, and the smile on the corners of his lips, a warmth emerged in his heart.
On that day, it was the twenty-third day of the winter month, and there was heavy snow in Yunyang City, and there were few pedestrians on the road because of the cold weather.
On the grounds of purchasing New Year's goods, Yumo asked Mrs. Ping for permission early in the morning and came out of the house.
Xiangfu is located in the north of Yunyang City, far away from the downtown area, if you go to Suzaku Street on foot, I am afraid it will take two hours to go back and forth, but now she is shy, and she has to rely on her feet.
So he turned around and was about to set off to the south, but was stopped by a bamboo shadow dressed in black who stretched out his hand to stop: "Miss, the road is slippery on snowy days, let's take a sedan chair!" ”
"No need! Since Brother Zhuying is in the house, presumably his father is also there, right? If his old man knows that I used the sedan chair in the house without permission, I will scold Mo'er again. Mo'er should go! Yumo took two steps back, raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were shining, faintly flashing a trace of cold breath, Zhuying saw that she deliberately kept her distance, her heart was slightly sluggish, her eyes were dim, and she glanced sideways to the gray figure in the distance and nodded slightly.
Seeing that the plastered shadow had come up quickly, Chong Yumo arched his hand and said, "Miss, please come here!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a light brown sedan chair in the long alley ahead.
Yumo looked at the strange gray-clothed man in front of him, and then skimmed his puzzled eyes to Bamboo Shadow: "Bamboo Shadow, what does this mean?" ”
Zhuying just lowered her head and pulled her into the long alley, without saying a word, so it was very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which inevitably attracted the attention of others, so she had to go with him.
When he arrived in front of the sedan chair, Zhuying opened the door of the sedan chair before he spoke: "Miss, it's cold and the road is slippery, let's take the sedan chair!" ”
Yumo was stunned, this bamboo shadow is really a stubborn character, which is quite similar to her. Raised her eyes and looked at the sedan chair in front of her slightly, it was very pure, it was not an official thing, I thought it was specially rented by Zhuying for her.
"It's going down! Go back! It's not good to let others see it! Yumo smiled helplessly, lowered his head and got into the sedan chair, and after sitting down, he raised his eyes and instructed the bamboo shadow.
Seeing her sitting, Zhuying slowly lowered the curtain and explained a few words to the palanquin man before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a cold wind, even if you sit in the sedan chair, Yumo still feels cold. The two sedan chair drivers have been entrusted by the bamboo shadow, and they have always been very safe all the way from the Xiangfu, but after all, they are just ordinary sedan chairs, and they can't be compared with the official sedan chairs in the house.
"Big brother, let's go to King Qin's Mansion instead!" Yumo gently tapped the curtain on the door, signaling that the sedan chair driver did not have to stop at Suzaku Street.
