77 Beauty: True Longevity
After Xue Shao left, Taiping Fu lay down again, not wanting to sleep at all, but fell asleep unconsciously. She hadn't been so stable in a long time, and she had no dreams. When she woke up, the maid had already lit the lamp in the room, and the light was dimly dimmed, which made her feel warm for a long time.
When the princess woke up, the maid turned on the lamp and candle, greeted her, and asked in a very low voice, "Do you want to get up?" "This is worrying that the princess has just woken up and is angry about getting up.
Taiping brushed his hair with five fingers: "Is the horse back?" ”
The maidservant shook her head and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?" ”
Taiping was slightly disappointed: "It's okay to do anything, it's lighter." ”
The maidservant knew this, went out of the room and gave a few words, and then turned back and waited for the princess to dress and groom.
"Send someone to look for the colt later, beware that he is drunk and picked up." Taiping joked, Ah Mo's matter is more or less a lesson, "At my will, if he is drunk, he will be taken back to the mansion in time." ”
"The colt also brought a few guards out of the door, I think I had a plan." The maid prompted.
said that he wanted to get drunk, but he really didn't get drunk and didn't return, this Xue Shao is really responsible for everything. Taiping smiled in his heart.
When I got up, I was in good spirits, ate some white porridge and fried courgette, and ate half a sesame cake and a cup of Gaochang grapes, and my appetite was also good.
The maid looked happy, and gave Taiping another bowl of sugar and stuffed it into her hand.
"I can't hold on!" Taiping protested, but his hands held the sugar drink.
"Princess, you just taste two bites, it tastes very good, it is the best cane sugar boiled in the Western Regions." The maidservant persuaded.
Taiping took a sip according to his words, it was really sweet and mellow but not greasy, and the fragrance between his lips and teeth was overflowing.
After drinking half a bowl, he put down the bowl and said, "Prepare a bowl for the horse, and sober up the wine." ”
Unexpectedly, Xue Shao was not drunk, but only slightly drunk, and was escorted back to the princess's mansion by the guards.
Taiping is casually looking at the legendary book "Ancient Mirror Records" made by Lang Wangdu, a writer of the previous dynasty, in which the origin of this ancient mirror is mysterious, and it can ward off evil spirits and suppress demons, so many strange things have been resolved. Although it is not the type that Taiping likes to watch, it is also a pastime.
Before the story of the ancient mirror and the fox demon was finished, there was some movement outside the door, and then I heard the sound of Xue Shao ordering the attendants to feed the horses. Taiping was surprised and delighted, hurriedly covered the scroll, and grabbed the nuts in his hand in a panic.
After a while, Xue Shao pushed open the door and walked in, sat down beside Taiping, saw her ruddy face, and asked, "Have you eaten dinner?" ”
Taiping fed a walnut kernel in his mouth, and deliberately replied vaguely: "It's considered to have been eaten." Suddenly thinking of the sugar drink specially reserved for him, he hurriedly said, "Do you want to drink a bowl of sugar drink?" It might be more comfortable. ”
"I'm not drunk." Xue Shao emphasized, staring at her without letting go.
Taiping was seen to have his heart beating wildly, and he thought about avoiding it first: "I'll go get you a bowl, Nanqu doesn't have such a good sugar drink." Just as she was about to get up, Xue Shao wrapped her arms around her waist: "I'm afraid that your sugar drink is sour." ”
"I use the best sucrose, how can it be sour?" Taiping didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't understand, but when he understood, the roots of his ears were red, and Xue Shao was laughing at her for being jealous!
"Why didn't you redeem yourself today?" She simply brought up the old things and held a grudge thoroughly.
Xue Shao's hand on her waist was slightly stronger, Taiping sat in his arms, looking at each other, and in such an affectionate posture, Taiping was not sure, and reminded: "Brother Xue, you are probably drunk." ”
Xue Shao hadn't heard her call him like this for a long time, so he hugged him tightly and replied: "I'm not drunk, but I'm just a little dizzy." ”
"Then you lie down and rest for a while, what kind of wine did you drink today, maybe the stamina has come up." Tai's soft voice made a bigger gap appear in the ice in Xue Shao's heart.
He didn't answer, hugging her like holding the blazing sun, and soon the whole person was about to melt.
"Okay." Xue Shao let go at the right time, Taiping got out of his arms, and went to make the quilt himself, countless times of thinking, but when this moment really came, she was a little inexplicably afraid.
Xue Shao took off his coat and lay down on the couch, maybe he was really dizzy, and when he closed his eyes, he drifted into another world in chaos, as if he couldn't remember who he was in a dream, he only vaguely heard a voice that he couldn't resist faintly pouring out-"...... Brother Xue, in those years, you were obsessed with the mountains and rivers, looking at the moon in the mountains, tasting the spring water, did you think of me in the slightest? I often think about you, sometimes the breeze blows the water, and I wake up at night to find that the moon is in the middle of the sky, I can't help but think of you, I don't know why I miss you like that in those years, obviously you are so far away from me, obviously you have a heart, obviously you don't love me at all...... I just can't convince myself......"
Listening to the sound of his even breathing, Taiping thought that he was asleep, holding this face that had already engraved her eyebrows and eyes in her heart, her infinite sorrow was difficult to calm down for a long time, and she choked up and said in a low voice: "...... I'm thinking about you even in the Taoist temple, is this my sin...... You got married, I still smiled to bless you, turned my back and cried every night and wet the pillow, how proud I am, how desperate, desperate to become crazy, I have to save myself, so I used despicable means to imprison you by my side, how can I not know that you will be in pain, but I still have no regrets, even if I am broken and doomed, I will not atone for myself, nor do I ask you for forgiveness, let alone ask you to love me, I just want to be by your side, I can see you every day, hear your voice, even if it is just a cold face, Even if it's just a static voice...... You have penetrated into my marrow, and I am terminally ill......" Her words were long, boundless, and if he was awake, he would not have listened to her patiently.
Xue Shao was still awake subconsciously, and he began to feel a hot flush in his heart, which soon spread to the corners of his eyes, and the violently suppressed emotions were like a raging flood, finally breaking the last embankment.
Taiping said what she wanted to say, her mind was blank in an instant, she was much more relaxed, and reached out to tuck the quilt for Xue Shao, and the moment her fingers touched his shoulder, Xue Shao turned over and covered her under him.
"Xue Lang, you-" Taiping trembled, but he couldn't continue, and was kissed fiercely by Xue Shao.
This earth-shattering kiss gradually became extremely warm and delicate, and slowly the kiss began to shift, and he lingered between Taiping's shoulders and neck for a long time, and the thin sucking almost suffocated her.
Taiping stretched out his hand and gently pushed him, and whispered, "It's me." ”
Xue Shao responded to her lack of confidence with a more passionate kiss.
Taiping couldn't figure it out, so he pushed it lightly, this push didn't matter, but his hands were raised above his head by Xue Shao and firmly held ......
After the rain, the stamens begin to bloom, and there are misty eyes, sweat and the aroma of sake intertwined in the tent, the pain of a new wife, and the indulgence of resisting death.
In the early morning of the next day, Xue Shao left very early, he was worried about disturbing Taiping, so he got up quietly, but Taiping actually woke up earlier, she hid sideways in the crook of Xue Shao's arm, looking at the tip of his nose and the corners of his lips in a daze, until Xue Shao's throat moved, and her chin raised slightly, she closed her eyes and pretended to be still asleep. Xue Shao was awakened, he felt something pressed on his heart, breathless, suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the Taiping in his arms, sticking to himself like a cat, he couldn't tell what it felt, he was not a person who came nonsense by drinking, at this time he thought about it calmly, but he was inspired to have courage and determination, he slowly lowered his head, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and resolutely advanced the trip to Bozhou, so he stayed and left a good letter, ruthless, and didn't care about being a lucky person who didn't say goodbye again.
Those who rushed to Bozhou to make an appointment with Li Chong, the king of Langya, were far more than the two Xue Shao brothers, and there were also several clan children surnamed Li, who looked at a lively party often held by aristocratic youths.
"It's better for him to go and relax." After reading the letter left by Xue Shao, Taiping did not feel lost, but felt comforted, he must be difficult to face last night's incident, why not himself? Distance and time are what they need right now.
In March of that year, Empress Dowager Wu ordered the manufacture of copper skuangs, placed outside the palace gate, and accepted her subordinates at any time. For those who are informants, the court will provide free food and drink for carriages and horses, and if the things they tell are accepted, the informant can be promoted to an exceptional position; If what is said is not true, there will be no guilt. For a time, the wind of whistleblowing prevailed, and a group of scoundrels in the market rose to the top by framing others, and they actually became court officials.
Empress Dowager Wu believed in strict punishment and strict law, and ruled the country with heavy rules, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi and other cool officials began to control the prison, and carried out crazy suppression and cruelty to the opponents of the Wu family. In this terrifying and bloody atmosphere, Mo Shuo took the initiative to make suggestions, and the courtiers did not even say a word about the regular discussion of state affairs in the main hall.
Looking at the lifeless faction in the court, the Empress Dowager Wu was not only proud of their submissiveness, but also troubled and couldn't hear the truth, Wan'er saw through this layer, and took the opportunity to persuade her to be lenient and strict, relaxed, and more preferential care under the strictness, although the Empress Dowager Wu was shaken, her face was still maintained, she said to Wan'er: "I remember when I was by Taizong's side, he had a fierce horse, called Lion Skull, who was stubborn and irritable, and no one could tame him, Taizong asked me what method I had, and I replied at the time, only three things are needed." Empress Dowager Wu turned to Wan'er, her eyes were sharp, and she curled her fingers and said, "The first copper whip, the second iron rod, and the third dagger." ”
Wan'er took a breath of cold air, and Empress Dowager Wu smiled: "Although Taizong praised me on the spot for my courage and courage, he mostly felt that I was ruthless, and he was such an eloquent and determined person, and he always favored gentle and talented women, just like Xu Hui." He added another question: "You know Xu Hui, right?" ”
Wan'er nodded, how could a legendary woman like Xu Hui not know?
"Concubine Xu Xian is gifted and talented, and what is even more rare is fairness and loyalty, and she is grateful to all the people." Wan'er said with sincere admiration.
Empress Dowager Wu mentioned that this old man had complicated thoughts, she and Xu Hui entered the palace at the same time, Xu Hui continued to be favored, and became the greatest spiritual comfort for Taizong in his later years, and he was left out in the cold for several years, and was finally sent to Ganye Temple to become a monk.
"I and Xu Hui are really different!" Empress Dowager Wu frankly admitted that this reminded Wan'er of what her only friend Su E said when she was in the court: Xu Hui Niangniang is the only woman that Empress Wu cannot defeat in this life.
"She will write articles at the age of eight, after entering the palace, she will not fight or rob, she will be dressed up in the pile of books with ink incense, and her talent will stand out in the charming palace, Taizong will never forget her, and she will never forget it, although she is a weak character, she is extremely principled, never pampered and arrogant, on the contrary, she knows that it is against the emperor's mind, and she has to go on the advice to explain the harm caused by perennial conquest and construction, just ask such a mind and bearing, even if the eldest grandson queen was still alive at the time, it is nothing more than that!" When Empress Dowager Wu talked about Xu Hui's life, a look of pride appeared on her face.
Although the Queen Mother said that although Wan'er knew it, she still revered it endlessly, and she also knew that the Queen Mother did not say about Xu Hui's end - after Taizong's death, Xu Hui, who was only twenty-three years old, became ill and refused to take medicine, and died of depression the following year.
The red face is easy to grow old and more fleeting, the martial talent who was not favored at the beginning, and now the supreme Empress Dowager Wu, she is the real longevity.
