CHAPTER XVIII
Su Zimo didn't take what the palace maid said to heart. He was still holding the fan in his hand, fanning it vigorously.
"I am making porridge for my father, and in front of my father, I am a son, honoring my father, this is what a son should do. How can you fake someone else? ”
"Fifth prince, it's just that this is rough work......" the palace maid persuaded again.
Su Zimo smiled indifferently, as if telling a story, and told the story.
"I prayed for the blessing of the country with my mother in the bitter Guhan Temple, and I did a lot of rough work. My mother was not in good health, and I wanted to eat some fresh fish in winter, so I smashed the ice in the mountain stream and went to catch fish for my mother......"
"I also caught pheasants, broke branches, and roasted them on a fire in the forest, and the smell was so delicious......
Su Zimo's words made several palace maids happy.
Originally, they were slaves and maids, and Su Zimo was the master. But looking at this Heavenly Dynasty Palace, Su Zimo is the master who is the least like the master.
Outside the door, Emperor Tianwei, with the support of Gonggong Cao, came at the right time. Hearing the conversation in the courtyard, Emperor Tianwei's expression darkened.
"Your Majesty, the five princes are really likeable, you see those girls smiling." Father-in-law Cao said. "Shall we go in and have a look?"
Emperor Tianwei shook his head and said with a majestic expression: "I have made their mother and son suffer......"
Emperor Tianwei's mind can only be seen through by Gonggong Cao. Gonggong Cao didn't say much, and he knew what to do next.
"Xiao Caozi, how long has Concubine Mei been out of the palace?" Emperor Tianwei asked.
Gonggong Cao replied: "If you go back to the emperor, Mei Niangniang has been out of the palace for fifteen years and eight months. ”
Emperor Tianwei's expression became even more serious. "When she left the palace, she was only in her early twenties, and now, she is in her thirties. I really want to see what she's like now......"
"Mei Niangniang's country is beautiful and fragrant, even if she is in her thirties, if you think about it, she must also be the appearance of the country and the city." Grandpa Cao's fart is really loud.
"Back then, if she was willing to bow my head......"
Emperor Tianwei's words made Gonggong Cao unable to take it anymore. After so many years, come to think of it, this is the truest thought of Emperor Tianwei at that time.
He just wanted Concubine Mei to bow his head to him.
"Well, let her go." Emperor Tianwei said lightly, and there was a lot of helplessness in his tone. "The weather is good today, accompany me to the garden for a walk."
Gonggong Cao supported Emperor Tianwei and walked towards the garden of the harem of the Heavenly Dynasty.
Along the way, the palace guards couldn't stop saluting Emperor Tianwei.
The weather in early winter was already a little cold, and the air was mixed with a touch of coldness. Gonggong Cao put on a cloak for Emperor Tianwei very intimately.
In the garden, the laughter of the daughter's family attracted the attention of Emperor Tianwei.
"Isn't that Xin'er?" Emperor Tianwei asked from afar. "This girl, why is there no rules like this, how can she be like a little princess......"
Gonggong Cao said: "Your Majesty, don't dare to say this, be careful that Princess Xin hears it, and she is looking for you to make trouble." ”
Emperor Tianwei was silent, and sure enough, he didn't say it anymore. Princess Xin is the tip of his heart, this girl's ability to grind people is very good, if she hears herself talking about her again, she will inevitably have to grind herself again.
"Is that the third princess of Western Xia?" Emperor Tianwei pointed to Dugu Dieyi, who was walking side by side with Princess Xin, and asked.
Gonggong Cao nodded: "If you go back to the emperor, it is indeed the third princess of Western Xia, I heard that this morning, she has gone to the queen's mother to meet her." ”
"Oh." Emperor Tianwei said meaningfully.
Dugu Dieyi and Princess Xin walked around the garden. Passing by a mergrove, he stopped in his tracks.
"Princess Xin, this piece of Merlin is so good. You see, there are buds. Dugu Dieyi casually stroked a half-opened plum blossom and said.
Princess Xin saw that Dugu Die was in such a frame, and she became anxious at the moment.
"Third princess, you can't move. That's the plum blossom planted by Mei Niangniang, my father likes it the most, and no one is allowed to move it. ”
Dugu Dieyi put down her hand, as if she was puzzled.
Princess Xin said slowly: "Mei Niangniang is the biological mother of the five princes, back then, because of her father's draft, Mei Niangniang was jealous, separated from her father, and was reprimanded by her father. ”
"The Lonely Han Temple is bitter, and Mei Niangniang has been gone for fifteen years. Third princess, you said, my father is just choosing a few beauties, why does Mei Niangniang eat so much vinegar? If you don't do it with a good mother, do you have to go to that bitter cold place? ”
Princess Xin is still young and does not understand the relationship between men and women. In her opinion, what can be blessed must be a good life.
"Princess Xin, you don't understand this. The love between a man and a woman cannot tolerate a third person. Mei Niangniang must be in love with Emperor Tianwei, so she made a jealousy, which is equivalent to a mismatch in identity. As long as you love someone sincerely, you can't see that there are other women around this person. Mei Niangniang's vinegar, if it is placed in ordinary people's homes, it is right to eat. ”
Dugu Dieyi's words surprised Princess Xin. In Princess Xin's opinion, it is normal for a man to marry three wives and four concubines. After all, this era is an era of male superiority and female inferiority.
"It's just that Mei Niangniang's husband is the emperor, the most noble man in the world. Mei Niangniang must be a person with a strong personality, and if she makes such a fuss, it will be a big deal. From this piece of Merlin, it can be informed that Emperor Tianwei also loves Niangniang very much, and it has been fifteen years since the incident, and it is time to let go. ”
"After all, life is too short. There are few fifteen years to wait for a woman's youth. And how many women can a man get in his life who treat each other sincerely? ”
Princess Xin listened to Dugu Dieyi's words thoughtfully.
The love and love in this world are like this.
In the distance, Emperor Tianwei listened to the conversation between Dugu Dieyi and Princess Xin, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
Yes, it's been fifteen years, what else can't be put down, who is to blame for the things of that year?
After Concubine Mei left, Emperor Tianwei was really uncomfortable for a while. It's just that he is the emperor, and the feelings in his heart will not be easily expressed.
On the side, the little eunuch hurriedly ran over.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Jin Guo asks to see ......"
Emperor Tianwei was stunned, Mei Siyuan, the Duke of Jinguo, was the elder brother of Concubine Mei, and back then, because of Concubine Mei's affairs, Emperor Tianwei was also angry with the Duke of Jinguo, took away his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and retained the title of Duke of Jinguo.
In recent years, because the Duke of Jin Guo has not been blessed with holy grace, the Guogong Mansion has long been neglected. Emperor Tianwei vaguely remembered that the last time he summoned the Duke of Jin Guo was five years ago.
"Your Majesty, I heard from the ministers that the health of the Duke of Jin Guo is getting worse day by day......" Duke Cao said at the right time.
Emperor Tianwei whispered: "Spread the decree, and the Duke of Jinguo will see the ...... in Jun'an Courtyard."
