Chapter 65: Frost Fills the Sky
As the days passed, the chill always came quickly and quietly.
Yongchang four years, the thirteenth month of the month.
Yan Ji canonized Song Jieyu and moved to Tongxin Palace.
The sea is dry and rotten, and the earth is wide and the sky is higher than the wings. Chu Luo gave her the Tongxin Hall to live in, which also showed her unfortunate favor.
After these days, Zhong Yuxiu has also been out of confinement, and she can move around the palace at will. Qingyun often comes to the Yilan Hall and accompanies her side. Although Yuxiu doesn't like Qingyun, she is more or less jealous of her, so she has been polite to her in the past.
On the south side of the harem, it is the concentric hall and the closest to the Yilan hall. Yuxiu sat in the house, often listening to the sound of the dragon galloping past her temple gate, but leaving no trace.
She takes care of the emperor on one wall, sulking on the other, and her body is always not good. Qingyun often blows the wind in her ears, asking her to win over Song Yanji and keep her status and that of the emperor. At first, Yu Xiu was angry, and scolded angrily, "The daughter of this palace's dignified scholar, why do you want to win over a wild girl?!" ”
But Qingyun was not discouraged, and repeatedly proposed to go to the Tongxin Palace. Yuxiu listened a lot, and she couldn't help but shake her mind.
Just after breakfast that day, Qingyun came to Yilan Hall to accompany Yuxiu to visit Song Yanji. The two walked into the gate of the Tongxin Hall together, only to see the door of the Tongxin Hall made of pink and jade, golden and brilliant, and walked in to see, but it was another scenery. The light red sandalwood lingers in the hall, quiet and beautiful. Overhead is a tassel that sways gently in the wind. The sashes are covered with delicate carvings and rare wood. Outside the window, there is a beautiful scene, rockery, small pond, blue lotus root, pink water lotus, all of which do not show the smoke and rain style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Looking at all these decorations around her, Yuxiu couldn't help but snort softly, and Qingyun beside her heard it, turned her head and looked at her worriedly.
Walking into the main hall, Yan Ji was sitting on the couch, the charcoal burned in the hall was warm, but there was a cold and unapproachable chill from her body.
Yan Ji saw Yuxiu and Qingyun come in, her eyes jumped, she was quite surprised, she slowly stood up, and said indifferently, "Zhaoyuan Niangniang." ”
According to the position, Qing Yun was going to ask Yan Ji for peace, seeing Qing Yun bending her knees deeply, Yan Ji just didn't move.
Yuxiu tried her best to restrain the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said with a smile on her lips, "I'm afraid my sister still doesn't know the rules when she first comes to the palace, and when she sees a high-ranking concubine, her sister has to bow on her knees." ”
Yan Ji smiled coldly, her eyes were vain, revealing a hint of disapproving ridicule, "The rules in the palace are cumbersome, and the emperor said that I don't have to abide by so much, just feel free." ”
When Yuxiu heard this, her smile immediately froze on her face.
Qingyun reacted quickly, first played a round between the two, and said with a smile, "It's still the emperor who loves Sister Jieyu, we all have to follow the rules, everyone has to kneel, and their knees are going to hurt." ”
When Yan Ji heard this, she snorted coldly disdainfully, but she didn't appreciate Qingyun's affection.
Qingyun's face froze, and then she smiled as usual, "Zhaoyuan Niangniang and the concubine came back here, they brought a lot of things to my sister." With that, she turned her head and gave Lan Xiang a look, and Lan Xiang immediately went down and brought up the things. Qingyun glanced at Yuxiu's face, and when she saw that she was flushed with anger, she smiled and covered up the past, "There are a lot of jewelry and clothes here, all of which were selected by Zhaoyuan Niangniang from the Yilan Palace to give to the little master Jieyu." ”
Qing Yun said, and raised her face to signal Lan Xiang to hand over the things to the little palace maid. The palace maid was just about to take it, Yan Ji immediately glanced at her, and the little palace maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, and her outstretched hand froze in the air, dazed and at a loss.
Yan Ji looked at Yu Xiu, her smile was as thin as a faint floating cloud in the sky, and it disappeared with the wind, "Yan Ji has thanked Zhaoyuan Niangniang for her kindness." Zhaoyuan Niangniang has just given birth to the emperor, and Yan Ji has not sent a congratulatory gift to the past, these things are regarded as congratulatory gifts, and they are all returned to the mother. After that, she smiled and said mockingly, "After all, I don't like these things, so it's better for my mother to take them." ”
When Yuxiu heard this, her eyes were blood-red with anger, and she almost rushed forward to tear her up, but fortunately, Qingyun pulled her side to stop it.
Yan Ji glanced at her, she has always been unaccustomed to this kind of vulgar and pretentious woman, at this time, seeing Yuxiu angry, she added a trace of happiness, so she said, "The emperor is busy with business these days, and he has no time to see Niangniang and the emperor, and when the emperor goes down to the court for a while, Yan Ji will tell the emperor and let him go to see Niangniang." ”
Yan Ji's sentence completely ignited the anger in Yuxiu's heart, and there was a burning fire in her eyes, and she snatched the thing and threw it on the ground, brushing her sleeves away.
Seeing this, Qingyun hurriedly chased after Yuxiu. Yuxiu saw Qingyun coming up, and she was even more angry, so she raised her hand and gave her a slap, and said angrily, "It's all your good idea!" Let Hongu come and show favor to this slut! How much humiliation the palace has suffered in the palace, have you seen it! ”
Qingyun covered half of her face and persuaded timidly, "Niangniang, this is not out of the Tongxin Hall yet, Song Jieyu should have heard it......"
"This palace just wants her to hear! It's just presumptuous! Yu Xiu was so angry that her face turned blood-red, panting, and she said angrily, "What kind of thing is she Song Yanji?!" Why did she tell the emperor to come and see the palace! Did she think she was great if she was favored? In the past, when Shen Changan was favored, he didn't dare to speak to the palace like this! ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang......" Qingyun trembled with fright, and followed up again and again, "Niangniang, you dissipate your anger, let's go back to the palace, let's go back to the palace." ”
Yuxiu turned her head and glanced at her hatefully, and strode out of the Tongxin Hall.
After returning to the Yilan Palace, Zhong Yuxiu was still angry, and slammed the tea cup handed over by the palace maid to the ground, everyone was quiet, only daring to look at the master and get angry, but no one dared to go up to dissuade him.
However, Qingyun was bold, and despite the slap she had just received from Yuxiu, she was about to step forward to comfort her. As soon as she approached, a eunuch came outside to report, saying that the emperor was coming.
Yuxiu was shocked, the emperor hadn't set foot in the Yilan Hall for several days, but she didn't expect that she had just been to the Tongxin Palace, but the emperor came at this time.
Thinking like this, the emperor had already stepped into the hall, and Yu Xiuying Yingfu went down, meek and respectful, "The emperor is blessed." ”
The emperor let out a faint "um", but in a blink of an eye, he saw Qingyun beside Yuxiu, and said with a slight condensation, "You are ......"
When Yuxiu heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Qingyun, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. Qingyun was also embarrassed and happy, and hurriedly raised her face and replied, "The concubine is Wei Baolin from Tingxue Hall. ”
The emperor's gaze swept lightly over her face, and then noticed her in a cyan shirt, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and even her tone was a little gentle, "You also like to wear cyan?" ”
Qingyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied, "The concubine's small character Qingyun loves cyan." ”
The emperor bowed his head gently, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, "When I was in the palace in the past, I also liked to wear cyan very much. ”
The smile on Qingyun's face was even stronger, and she just wanted to say something more, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of the anger in Yuxiu's eyes, so she hurriedly leaned down and said, "The emperor came to see Zhaoyuan Niangniang, the concubine was a little tired, so I won't bother, go back to the palace first." With that, she hurriedly stood up and led her palace maid out.
As soon as Qingyun left, Yuxiu's frowning eyebrows stretched out, she leaned in front of the emperor, took his arm affectionately and smiled, "Since the emperor returned to the palace, he has never been to the concubines, and the concubines are still considered to be the emperor's trip, so they forgot about the concubines." ”
The emperor's face was cold, as if he was not used to Yuxiu's intimate appearance, so he only said indifferently, "Where is the emperor?" ”
When Yuxiu heard this, a trace of joy immediately flashed on a Furong Xiu's face, and she immediately ordered outward, "Go and bring the emperor here." ”
After a long time, Lan Xiang picked up the emperor and handed it over to the emperor. Chu Luo looked at the little person in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
If he and Chang'an's children are still there, they should be so old now, what will he look like?
Such a thought was only for a moment, and Chu Luo was also startled by himself.
was so dignified, he suddenly remembered Shen Chang'an.
However, when he thought of her, his heart was warm and full of joy from the heart.
He should never have been.
Chu Luo was immersed in his thoughts, completely unaware that his expression had changed, Yuxiu was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly took the emperor into his arms, and asked worriedly, "Does the emperor not like his daughter?" ”
Chu Luo woke up after a moment's distraction, and after hearing Yuxiu's question, he resolutely explained, "How can it be, sons and daughters are the same." ”
The emperor said this, so that Yuxiu calmed down a little, she looked at the emperor in her arms, and said with joy, "Then please ask the emperor to give the emperor a name." ”
Chu Luo pondered for a moment, and a little starlight suddenly lit up in his eyes, and then said with a smile, "Yuxiu is a flower and a moon, and my daughter is naturally like you, so it's okay to call Yuerong?" ”
"Yuerong, Yuerong......" Yuxiu muttered to herself, and suddenly smiled, "It's really a good name, and the concubines thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
Chu Luo bowed slightly, stared at the Yuerong Emperor Ji in Yuxiu's arms, and smiled sparsely.
Yuxiu looked up at the emperor, her thoughts were also erratic, and after a while, she hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has another request." ”
Chu Luo's eyebrows were warm, "What? ”
"The concubine and the queen are like sisters, the queen has always treated the concubine very well, and now the queen has a big prince under her knees, and she has been looking forward to a princess, so the concubine thinks, although Yuerong is not the queen mother's daughter, but if she can be raised under the queen's knees, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of a wish of the queen's mother."
Chu Luo listened, and there were some doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask out loud, "Are you willing to give Yuerong to the queen to raise?" ”
Yuxiu smiled lightly, "The queen mother was originally Yuerong's mother-in-law, what is the concubine willing to give up?" Yuerong is still the daughter of the concubine in the end, and the concubine can often go to Fengluan Palace to see her. ”
When Yuxiu said this, the emperor didn't need to say anything more, so he happily agreed, "Then it's up to you." ”
