Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of Oneness
The long distance and the difficult winter road are omitted, and when I arrived in Lianghong and Shu, the solar term has entered the depths of winter. Xiao Xuan and the courtiers of Lianghong wanted to know the political situation, and knew that once the father and son of Panye Zongzheng usurped the throne, I would naturally become the princess of Panye, and Zongzheng Geng's temperament was by no means comparable to Meng Deng, and it was easy to provoke, so the pomp and circumstance to welcome me this time was several times larger than when the Panye envoys came to this battle.
Through the identity of the Emperor Ji of the Long Night, I don't have to bow to Xiao Xuan, I only need to be blessed: "The Long Emperor of the Night Ji Yijing, I will go to your country on the order of the monarch." Thank you for your kindness. ”
"Emperor Yijing, please get up." Xiao Xuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a smile on his face: "Emperor Yijing Chang Ji came here for the state affairs of the two countries in the night of Lianghong, and such a demeanor really makes Ling Gu admire." Ministers, with Gu together to give a cup of Yijing Chang Emperor Ji. ”
I picked up the wine cup, smiled decently, and had mixed tastes in my heart. Because of the skin I was wearing, I had to look directly at Xiao Xun's face without concealing it. On the throne, the man who toasts to me is my father. The normal suspicion, suspicion, and ruthlessness are all dissolved and hidden at this moment because of the need to deal with the so-called pan-night long emperor.
Looking back now, even in the time when he came to the Mirror Flower Palace every day, I never saw a trace of his smile, even if it was perfunctory, not sincere. How did my mother and I ever fall into his eyes? And the first time that the father and daughter looked at each other calmly was the beginning of my efforts to turn over the clouds and rain and dump the imperial power of the Liang Hong Xiao family.
After drinking the wine without shock, I was looking at the courtiers without a trace, but the voice of the soft woman sounded in this Jinluan Palace: "Emperor Yijing Chang Ji has come from the night, and now there happens to be a famous palace maid in the palace, who has gone to the night with my country's Emperor Lingyue. Emperor Yijing always needs to have a capable person on his side, this palace maid is still smart, can Emperor Yijing have the intention to laugh? ”
"The queen's mother is beautiful, and Yijing is naturally difficult." Knowing that the queen was referring to the end of the song, she took the initiative to mention it and save me a little tongue. Smiled happily, the queen wanted to say more, but was completely overshadowed by a strong and powerful voice: "Yijing Chang Emperor Ji came to Zhongshu for less than a day, and he found colleagues in the harem. The wind and water of the coming day are rising, and today it can be seen. Thanks to the queen's heart, fortunately it is the blessing of Emperor Yijing. ”
Just listening to the tone, you can imagine that this person's actions are indeed the same as Wang Gushan, if there is really a father, there must be a daughter. Pursed his lips without saying a word, I knew that it must be Xiao Xun who couldn't hold it back first: "Wang Shangshu is exaggerating." The term colleague is used to refer to a lonely courtier. If you talk about Emperor Yijing and the slaves and maids who have been there all night, it is indeed too early to say and exaggerate. ”
Awe-inspiring and slightly shocked, I secretly said that Xiao Xuan's suspicions were so deep, even if "Yijing" and the end of the song had not been seen, he still made a tentative speech. I only didn't realize it on my face: "Yijing was weak and weak when he was young, and he has been meditating in the Hanshan Temple in the Panye Imperial Capital for more than ten years, and he really doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. ”
Catching a glimpse of a disdainful smile at the corner of Wang Ren's mouth, my eyes wandered, ignorant and ignorant: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, Fang Cai Yijing still thinks that the word 'colleague' is a synonym for what kind of wolf ambition and collusion people are, but I am really uneasy." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. Xiao Xun's face changed slightly, as if he had not slanted to Wang Ren; Wang Ren's face was not good, and he looked at me; Unaware of the stalemate, I ate my own dishes and praised the queen with joy. After a dust-washing feast, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can be satisfied with peace of mind.
After the banquet, the ministers dispersed, and the queen led me to watch in the harem of Zhongshu. She took me by the arm and walked in the imperial garden called Maotong Garden, and I was thinking about the direction of Lanbufang in my heart, when I suddenly heard the queen ask: "What is the name of Emperor Yijing Ji Fang, can you tell this palace?" Somehow, the palace only looked at Emperor Yijing and was kind. ”
"Yijing is fortunate to be able to get the queen's blue eyes." I smiled lightly and responded: "Yijing's small character Lingzhou." ”
"'Lingzhou'?" The flower's appearance changed slightly, and the queen was in a trance for a moment, and when she saw my curious gaze, she restrained her emotions: "It's strange that the palace and Emperor Yijing are like each other at first sight." The name of the palace also has the same sound as the original emperor of Yijing. ”
"I see, fortunately." Following the queen's more intimate hand with me, I continued to walk slowly with her, only to find that I still don't know what the name of Queen Lianghong is. Since the name is the same as mine, the reason why no one mentions it is respectful, I am afraid that it is because of the accent with the word "纣" that it is deliberately omitted. She is in the position of the queen, and unlike the concubines, she does not need to add a surname to match her, and this surname has become a blank that no one notices.
For some reason, my heart was a little sour, and I turned my head to look at the queen's face, but I saw a familiar pavilion at a glance. Is that...... Lanbufang! I couldn't help but pause my pace, the queen was puzzled and asked, I covered my panic and reluctantly explained: "Yijing is rude." A person suddenly jumped over there, startled. ”
"Where?" I couldn't understand and looked at me, the queen's eyes changed slightly, and Banxia, the personal palace maid beside her, had already covered her lips and chuckled: "Emperor Yijing must have seen it wrong." That pavilion has been barren for a long time, it is a forbidden place in the palace, no one will go, and no one wants to go. ”
"Why?" I asked a little anxiously, and I hurriedly made a puzzled appearance: "Such a towering pavilion should be a prosperous place." ”
"It used to be a light song and dance, and a song every night." Queen Yun took over lightly: "Later, I accidentally walked into the water, and all the seventy-seven people in Nalan Bufang did not escape, and it has been several years now, and only the ruins of the wall remain." …… Emperor Yi Jingchang? ”
“…… Yijing lost his temper. "My left hand is still soft and stable in the palm of the queen's hand, and my right hand is hidden in my sleeve, trying my best to endure it, still trembling: "Yi Jing suddenly remembered that his father had mentioned it during a casual chat, and Yi Jing was not a famous Lingzhou before entering Hanshan Temple, and he also had a milk name. Call-"
I raised my eyes and looked into the Queen's eyes. The eyes reflected in her eyes were like a cold pool in autumn, and there was no temperature, only ice.
"Guihong."
was quite stunned, Banxia had not yet returned to her senses, and the queen had already smiled lightly, breaking the indifferent atmosphere: "This name has excellent intentions, and it actually implies the fate of Emperor Yijing and me Lianghong early in the morning." The wisdom of the Emperor of the Night is really broad. ”
"Queen Xie praised." I lowered my eyes, took away the resentment in my eyes, listened to the refreshments that had been prepared in the Yongning Palace in the Banxia Yuanchang Road, and went to the Yongning Palace at the invitation of the queen.
After nearly five years of absence, the gold and splendor of Yongning Palace is as good as ever. The layout in the hall has not been moved, but I have a moment of trance, as if I have never left Lianghong, never left this dangerous harem of Zhongshu. But the blur was just a blink of an eye, and I quickly put on a smile and greeted the voice of "Yijing Changdi Ji" politely.
I stayed in the Yongning Palace until Shen Ke, because the queen had to lead the harem to set up a banquet in the evening, I had to go back to the dormitory to change my clothes first, and she was quite reluctant to let me go.
I had already saluted and turned to walk, but the queen suddenly stopped me. When I turned around, I saw the queen raise her hand, and Banxia De Lingfu came out of the palace: "I forgot, the palace maid who said that she wanted to give Lingzhou at lunch is still here in the palace, so I will ask her to go back with you at this time." ”
"It's hard to bother the queen." I smiled gratefully, "I also allowed Lingzhou to choose the palace by himself." It's a blessing. ”
"It's all within the purview of the palace." The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just, how could Ling Zhou choose the Mirror Flower Palace?" Not to mention the remoteness, it is ...... if the deceased lived in it."
"Thank you for your care." I replied decently, boasting that there was nothing unusual: "Ling Zhou has lived in Hanshan Temple since he was a child, and he likes to be quiet. The location of the Mirror Flower Palace may not be suitable, but it is the best for Ling Zhou. It's just that I forgive Lingzhou for saying a lot......"
I put on a puzzled look: "The deceased person that the queen mother refers to ......"
"Can Ling Zhou know the Emperor of Lianghong Lingyue who went to the night a few years ago? She lived in the Mirror Flower Palace for a while. It's a pity...... That child was too stubborn, and he was determined to die in such a situation. ”
The queen covered her heart and sobbed slightly: "She is the youngest emperor of the Lianghong royal family, and the only daughter of this palace...... Ben also wants to be able to enjoy herself under the knees of this palace after she returns to China, so that this palace can enjoy the joy of family......"
As soon as she looked at acting, I looked at her sarcastically, and my voice was just right with a hint of overwhelm: "Queen Mother...... The Queen's Day mourns. Emperor Lingyue is famous all over the world, and everyone in the world praises her, which is also the greatest comfort to the emperor and the queen. ”
As soon as my mind moved, I approached and slowly took the queen's hand: "Ling Zhou is not only so close to the queen's mother, but also thanks to the queen's love, I would like to come to Yongning Palace from time to time to walk around and chat with the queen." ”
There were still tears in her eyes, and she looked up at me in disbelief, and then turned into a light of joy, and the queen held my hands tightly: "Ling Zhou can think about this for the palace...... Hongu ......"
"The queen doesn't need to be polite." I heard a sound outside the hall, and it was like a crowd of people, and I spoke a little higher than an inch before the sound sounded: "The queen will treat Lingzhou as she did when she treated Emperor Lingyue." It is blessed to make the boat. ”
"Emperor Yijing Chang Ji can come for the intersection of Lianghong and Pan Ye, why not Emperor Lingyue?"
Seven points of flattery, three points of sarcasm, and natural. Wang Gushan Shi Ran walked in, greeted Empress An, got up without courtesy, and saw each other with me, so she said with concern: "It's just that the queen mother suddenly remembered Emperor Lingyue again." I want Emperor Lingyue to be in the harem of Zhongshu, although the time to be filial to the queen mother is not long, but the queen's demeanor is true. The Si people have passed away, and the queen still needs to mourn. ”
"If you talk about open-mindedness, this palace is indeed not as transparent as Wang Guifei's." Intentionally or unintentionally, the embarrassment that flashed on Empress Fangcai's face disappeared completely. Wang Gushan's face froze, then he smiled humbly, and sat down on the side seat: "It's just now, this palace heard that Emperor Yijing Chang Ji called himself Ling Zhou?" I don't know if this is ......."
"Ling Zhou is Yijing's small print." I smiled: "The queen mother and Yi Jing are close, so they call each other like this." ”
raised her eyebrows and said nothing, Wang Gushan bowed slightly. At the gate of the palace, Banxia and Qu Zhongzao followed everyone in the Xianglu Palace into the door, and stepped forward to serve tea at this moment. I got up to say goodbye, knowing that even if the queen and Wang Gushan did not agree with each other, there were some words that I couldn't hear, and if I stayed longer, I would be more eye-catching. At that moment, he made a shallow courtesy, thanked the queen again, and left Yongning Palace with the end of the song.
