, Wonderful free to read without pop-ups!
In the evening, Lin Jia came back with Ah Yin, and Yu Yu told Lin Jia about it.
Lin Jia listened attentively, and finally said, "This matter will come according to your plan!" However, now that we have just formed an alliance with Liao, even if we catch the handle of Princess Pingcheng, we can only send her back to Liao, but we can't do anything to her. ”
Yu Yu Yan smiled: "Just send her away, I didn't think about anything else!" ”
She glanced at Lin Jia and said honestly: "Send away Princess Pingcheng, and I will have one less rival in love!" ”
Lin Jia couldn't help laughing when she saw that she even ate such a shadowless flying vinegar, and reached out to rub Yu Yu's head, but her hand reached over, and when she saw the suspension on Yu Yu's bun, she touched Yu Yu's ears instead, and said, "As for the Lotus Lord of Goryeo, if you catch the handle, you don't have to send it back, you can dispose of it!" ”
Goryeo is a small country that was defeated and declared a minister, even if Yu Yu killed their lord, Lin Jia was not afraid of Goryeo coming to take revenge!
Yu Yu said "um", and next to Lin Jia was greasy and crooked: "I use a little too much for dinner, Ajia, you go out for a walk with me!" ”
In fact, it's okay for her not to take a walk, but Lin Jia was seriously ill not long ago, and Mr. Liu explained that she had to take Lin Jia's wife for a walk every day.
Lin Jia has always been quiet and doesn't like to move, and he really doesn't want to go out, but Yu Yu leaned on his arms and kept grinding, which made him helpless, so he had to take Yu Yu out with him.
Yu Yu triumphantly instructed Li Hanxing: "I heard that the magnolia flowers in the back garden are blooming, I will go with His Royal Highness to enjoy the flowers, you go and let people prepare!" ”
As soon as Lin Jiayu and his party entered the back garden, Yu Yu ordered Li Hanxing to bolt the door from the inside: "Latch the door, Your Highness and I have a good walk around the garden!" ”
Lin Jia was angry and funny, and saw that the maids were already preparing to go east with plain yarn flower lanterns, so she took Yu Yu's hand and walked slowly east along the bluestone path.
Following Li Hanxing to the place where he said, Yu Yu instructed Rosemary and Mint to shine there with a lantern, then took a book from Dill hand, turned to the page with the bookmark, and carefully approached the lantern to compare.
Lin Jia glanced at it, and saw that Yu Yu was holding a herbal medicine illustrated book in his hand, so he couldn't help but laugh, and said in a low voice: "Just look at it, don't touch it with your hands, and don't get too close!" ”
Yu Yu agreed in his mouth, carefully compared and identified, and finally got up to look at Lin Jia, reached out and pulled Lin Jia's earlobe, and motioned for Lin Jia to get closer to him.
Lin Jia really bent down.
Only then did Yu Yu lean into Lin Jia's ear and whispered, "Ah Jia, this is indeed a broken intestine grass!" ”
Lin Jia's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked intently at the increasingly green vines in the lantern halo, "um", and said, "Let's go!" ”
He took Yu Yu's hand and walked back.
They walked side by side, and the hem of the cloak on their bodies was swept up by the night wind, making a "bang" sound, which made people feel like a cold spring.
Yu Yu felt very funny in her heart, and while walking, she cooed and talked to Lin Jia: "It turns out that so many plants are poisonous, and they are all common to us, there is a kind of mandala, which is planted in Mr. Liu's yard, and the book says that it can make people fall into a coma; There are also oleanders, there are a lot of them in our house, there are white flowers, and there are red flowers, I used to think it was very good-looking, who knew that it was also poisonous, eat a little bit, and you will die; There are also daffodils, which I have to send in every winter, and they are also highly poisonous! ”
She raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia, her eyes were big and round: "Ah Jia, there is a white transparent mucus in the bulb of the narcissus, I let people peel it off today, it is a bit like egg white, if you eat it, you will be spasmodic and paralyzed and die!" ”
Lin Jia was born in the royal family, and he had no mother since he was a child, there were many concubines in Xingping County, and he succeeded the princess to be fierce, and the inner courtyard of the palace has always been fighting with swords and swords, Lin Jia himself can't remember how many times he was poisoned when he was a child, how could he not know this? But Yu Yu was willing to tell him, so he listened carefully.
When Yu Yu Yu spoke, he kept looking at Yu Yu gently and listening to Yu Yu.
Lin Jia knew in her heart that Yu Yu had always been worried that he would be forced by Emperor Yongtai to accept concubines in order to balance the ministers and have more children, and she deliberately told him this.
He has always been a person who does more and says less, and Yu Yu will understand one day.
Until he lay down and was about to sleep, Yu Yu raised his head and muttered: "There are too many men and women, it's really dangerous, plus there are highly poisonous plants everywhere, it's really terrifying!" ”
Lin Jia pursed her lips and smiled, first pressed down Yu Yu's head, and then lay down next to Yu Yu: "Sleep!" ”
Yu Yu obediently nestled in his arms, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Lin Jia didn't fall asleep immediately.
He held the soft and warm Jade Gardenia in his arms, listened to the sound of the rain ticking outside, thought about the war arrangements in southern Xinjiang, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's April.
Yu Yu didn't notice it at first, but one day off the day, she took Ah Yin, Shen Xiu, Lan Feiyu three little boys and Ting Lan Wan'er two little girls for a walk in the courtyard, and found that the front was full of bright red flowers in the green, it turned out that the pomegranate flowers were in full bloom, and then she found that the pomegranate flowers had bloomed, and summer had quietly come to the world.
When I got up from a nap in the afternoon, Yu Yu was talking with Mrs. Lan Zhen and Mrs. Helian Shan, and Mint brought in three crystal lotus plates containing fruits, which were placed on the small kang table next to Yu Yu, and on the yellow rosewood flower table next to Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Helian.
The crystal plate is neatly stacked with several seasonal fruits, including red cherries, shiny green apricots, a few purple plums, and a few yellow and red ringo.
When Yu Yu saw it, he casually took a cherry and put it in his mouth, feeling sweet and sour, so he took a green apricot, and just took a bite and put it in the crystal plate with the fruit core on the small kang table of Huanghua rosewood: "It's so sour!" ”
Mrs. Lan smiled and said, "Sour girl, Liangdi will eat another sour apricot!" ”
Yu Yu was disgusted and refused to eat it, so he took a Lin Yi and said: "It's almost born, whether it is a son or a daughter has long been decided, it doesn't matter if you eat this green apricot or not!" ”
Mrs. Helian said with a smile: "Looking at Liangdi's pregnancy, she will definitely give birth to a little son!" ”
Yu Yu laughed and said, "Your Highness said that whether it is a son or a daughter, it is his flesh and blood, and they are all the same!" ”
Mrs. Lan smiled and congratulated Yu Yu: "Your Highness really loves Liangdi!" Congratulations to Liangdi! ”
Mrs. Helian didn't like to talk, but she also said: "Liangdi is really blessed! ”
She only gave birth to one son, and the other two were daughters, so her mother-in-law took two concubines for Helian Shan.
Yu Yu smiled and picked up the small Lin Yi fruit and took a bite, feeling sweet and sour, so she recommended: "Lin Yi is not bad, you can all taste it!" ”
She suspected what Lin Jia said in front of her cronies, and the family members of those cronies came over to laugh with her when they were free.
Yu Yu is smart and sensitive, and she has long found that these ladies are talking to her by holding her, and they don't say anything, and they are happy.
Seeing that Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Helian both loved to eat these fruits, Yu Yu said with a smile: "These are all planted on my canal Zhuangzi, all of them are within the high walls, but they are also clean and safe, if you don't dislike them, I will send someone to send some over!" ”
Mrs. Lan laughed "poof": "My Liangdi, this is a favor that others can't stammer, who will dislike it?" I'd like to thank Liangdi for the fruit! ”
Mrs. Helian didn't have such a clever quarrel as Mrs. Lan, and said with a smile: "Thank you Liangdi for your kindness!" ”
The three of them chatted and talked about the Buddha's birthday on April 8.
There is no fixed religious belief in the Great Zhou, some people believe in Taoism, some people believe in Buddhism, some people don't believe in anything at all, only believe in themselves, and some people secretly believe in cults and return to true religions, but every year on the eighth day of the fourth month of the Buddha's birthday, the capital is very lively, the major temples in the capital have to hold a bathing Buddha fasting meeting, boiling fragrant medicine sugar water to give to the people who go to participate in the bathing Buddha fasting meeting, very lively.
Mrs. Helian believes in Buddhism, and there are a few nuns in the house who often come and go, so she asked Yuyu with a smile: "Liangdi, the concubine heard that on the eighth birthday of the Buddha in early April, the queen mother is going to hold a Buddha bathing fasting party in Daxiangguo Temple, will Liangdi go?" ”
Yu Yu never believed in this, and the other was afraid that Jiang Zhen would make it bad, so she refused to go, but she didn't say it clearly, and said with a smile: "My body is inconvenient, so I won't go to join in this fun!" ”
Mrs. Yelu believes in Buddhism and said busily: "Liangdi, it's not in the way, the queen mother is coming, naturally she will clear the scene in advance, and there will be no ordinary people at that time!" ”
Yu Yu smiled, picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth.
She is not afraid of ordinary people, she herself is from ordinary people, and Yu Yu is afraid of the person who is in a high position and has a heart like a snake and scorpion.
Mrs. Lan always thought that Mrs. Yelu was quite smart, but she didn't expect her to say such a stupid thing - Bai Liangdi refused to go, naturally because His Royal Highness and Empress Jiang and the Jiang family behind Empress Jiang were political enemies, and she was worried that the Jiang family would make it bad!
She glanced at Mrs. Yelu with a smile, and said with a smile: "I also received a post from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but unfortunately I had to accompany my mother-in-law to Shangqingguan that day, and I couldn't go to the Buddha bathing and fasting meeting in Daxiangguo Temple!" ”
Only then did Mrs. Yelu realize that she had made a fool, and she stammered and looked at Yuyu.
Yu Yu said softly: "If you want to go, you can go, after all, it is the annual Buddha's birthday." ”
After being appeased by Yu Yu for a few words, Mrs. Yelu eased up.
On April 8, the three good ladies of the prince's mansion came to salute Lin Jia, and then they took a sedan chair to Daxiangguo Temple together.
Although Jin Xiuzhu was pregnant, she was unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity to communicate, so she naturally took a sedan chair.
Yu Yu was worried that she would suffer a loss, so she specially asked Li Rui to send two agile maids to wait.
On this day, Bai Yuming brought his wife Jiang Fang and his son to see Yuyu.
Yu Yu was accompanied by Jiang Fang, and Lin Yin and Ting Lan Wan'er didn't have to go to class, but they had a lively day.
After dark, Jin Xiuzhu came with Female Doctor Jin again and told Yuyu that she had seen Queen Jiang meet Yelu Liangyuan alone.
Yu Yu said a few perfunctory words, and then sent the mother and daughter of the golden female doctor away.
The next day, Yu Yu sat on the bed of the Arhat in the bright room, called all the people who were with Lin Yin in, and asked Hanlin to watch outside the door.
Yu Yu sat there silently, a pair of wonderful eyes as calm as water swept over everyone.
All the maids stood there, only to feel like they were covered in ice and snow, and they all straightened their backs and straightened their minds.
Yu Yu said slowly: "You should all know how important the prince is to His Royal Highness and to me, if it is because of whose responsibility, the prince has an accident, and the disaster will affect the three clans!" ”
Ye Ling and Ye Bi stood at the front, listening intently.
Yu Yu didn't like nonsense, and said directly: "This time is very important, you have to remember the two sentences I said: first, at any time, there are at least two people around the prince; Second, no matter who gives the son of the world something to eat, he can take it, but he must not let the son of the world eat it. Do you understand? ”
Under the leadership of Ye Ling and Ye Bi, everyone answered "yes" in unison.
Li Hanxing has been sending people to quietly pay attention to the movements in the Dark Incense Pavilion, the Golden Guiyuan and the Green Yang Yin, but he has not found any movement.
In a blink of an eye, it has entered May, and it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.
According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival should be woven into a rope-like ornament with five-colored silk threads, tied in the neck, wrists and ankles, also called longevity, which is said to be able to make people live a long life without invading a hundred poisons.
Another custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to prepare peach branches, willow branches, sunflowers, iris leaves and Buddha Dao Ai to hang at the door on the first day of May to the fourth day of May.
In addition, wormwood, sachets, zongzi and five-color water balls should be prepared.
On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, Li Rui ordered people to distribute the Dragon Boat Festival goods according to the heads.
On the morning of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, the lotus lord wore the embroidered wormwood robe that Queen Jiang had newly rewarded the three of them, and slowly took the maid to see the peach branches, willow branches, sunflowers, calamus leaves and Buddha Dao Ai hanging on the gate of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and said leisurely: "This Dragon Boat Festival customs, the customs of the Great Zhou are very similar to those of Goryeo, and the Great Zhou is afraid that it is still Goryeo!" ”
Two of the four maids who followed her were Jin Li and Yin Li, the maids of the Prince's Mansion, and after hearing the words of the Lotus Lord, Jin Li and Yin Li both lowered their heads and pouted.
The Lotus Lord continued: "However, the Great Zhou Dynasty is still not thorough in learning Goryeo, we are not called the Dragon Boat Festival, we call it the Dragon Boat Festival, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to eat mugwort cake, drink Yiren juice and calamus water, women also use calamus soup to wash their hair, and use calamus dew to make up, this is the 'iris makeup' that has been inherited by Goryeo for 5,000 years!" ”
When Jin Li and Yin Li heard this, "This is the 'iris makeup' that has been inherited from the Goryeo Kingdom for 5,000 years", they both curled the corners of their mouths and lowered their heads and smiled secretly.
After sighing, the Lotus Lord said with a smile: "Yuzhen looks at home, Huanzhen, Jinli, Yinli, you follow me to see Li Liangyuan and Yelu Liangyuan!" ”
The maids replied "yes", and followed the lotus lord to the green poplar yin in the west.
As its name suggests, the poplar shade courtyard is planted with a lot of poplar trees that are common in Western Xia, and now it is midsummer, the poplar shades the sky and the sun, and the yard is very cool.
The lotus lord entered the green poplar yin, and found that there was a sour branch wood moire chair placed under a thick and straight poplar tree outside the corridor, Tulanya was wearing a white robe and white skirt with the characteristics of Guizhenism, and was resting on the chair with a jade pillow, and there was a Xixia maid next to her who was on the sour branch wood carved chair, holding a Xixia qin in her arms and playing with it, which was very crisp.
The maid informed the lord of the lotus flower that he had come, and Turanya was still lying there lazily - she had suffered from homesickness these days, and missed the thousands of miles of yellow sand in her homeland and the fierce white-clothed man on horseback.
The Lotus Lord sat for a while, chatted a few words, and then left.
She went to the Golden Guiyuan Garden where Princess Pingcheng lived.
Naturally, there are a lot of laurel trees planted in the Golden Gui Garden, but now it is summer, and only one or two early laurel trees are blooming sporadically, and there is a faint sweet fragrance in the air.
Princess Pingcheng was lazily sitting in the Guixiang Pavilion in the courtyard, munching on melon seeds while watching the singing and dancing outside the pavilion.
The flat ground to the west of the pavilion is covered with thick red felt, and four Liao dancers are spinning and dancing the Hu Xuan dance.
There were also two Liao maids clapping and clapping on the side, and the scene was very lively.
The Lotus Lord smiled and said to Princess Pingcheng: "Sister Yelu is really good Yaxing! ”
Princess Pingcheng never wanted to see her, replied coldly, and then watched Hu Xuanwu again.
The Lotus Lord sat down next to Princess Pingcheng, looked at the five-colored water ball on the sour branch wood carving head in front of him, his eyes lit up, and then he accompanied the Lotus Lord to watch the Hu Xuan Dance as if nothing happened.
There were a lot of snacks and fruits on the sour branch wood carved head table in front of Princess Pingcheng, and she was too lazy to eat them, so she only swallowed melon seeds and occasionally took a sip of wine.
Seeing that the hand of the lotus lord stretched out to the five-colored water mass several times, and retracted timidly, Princess Pingcheng looked down on her a little, and thought she was a little childish, so she said coldly: "This thing is made of glutinous rice flour, I don't like to eat it, since you like it, give it to you!" ”
When the Lotus Lord heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and his eyes were shining: "Thank you, Sister Yelu!" My favorite is dim sum made with glutinous rice flour! ”
After sitting for a while, the Lotus Lord saw that Princess Pingcheng was only concerned about watching the dancer dance Hu Xuan dance, and did not care about herself, and was a little sneering, so she got up and said goodbye and left.
Her maid Huanzhen followed behind, carrying the dish of five-colored water balls.
Jin Li and Yin Li were at the back.
Walking to the gate of the Dark Incense Courtyard, the Lotus Lord stretched his waist delicately and said, "The weather is so good today, let's go to the back garden for a walk!" ”
She had already received the news that Emperor Yongtai and Empress Jiang came to the Prince's Mansion today, and now they are being accompanied by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the back garden for a banquet, and Bai Liangdi and Shizi Lin Yin are also present.
