Chapter 170: Qi'er
There is no such honest subordinate as An Lingjun, reckless and simple, it is the temper of the young general. The people who were rewarded all laughed. Mu Beiyi also smiled, and he rewarded many small things, saying that he would reward this son's loyalty.
The splendid hall is surrounded by the Son of Heaven and the Ming Guifei, looking at it from a distance, it is extremely a pair of people. At this moment, everyone can see in their eyes that the supreme honor of the An family and the grace of Concubine Ming.
It was when the young master and concubine of the previous dynasty were in their prime, and it was probably nothing more than that.
Pillow Chun ate a full meal against the Seven Star Soup Pill, and Jinpa wiped the corners of his mouth. She smiled and looked at her family seat, and her heart was happy. This is exactly the taste of the banquet, and the pillow spring wall is about to stand up and toast. I saw that the palace maid Ah Chuan of the crescent moon came in trembling outside Fushou Terrace.
Ah Chuan's eyes flickered, and he saluted Feng Tang at the remote curtain. The two whispered for a while, and Ah Chuan was ushered in.
Mu Beiyi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" β
Ah Chuan sighed in a low voice, and couldn't stop looking left and right when he spoke: "Four... The fourth prince suddenly fell ill, and the queen wanted to invite you to go to Huangyuan Palace to have a look. β
Pillow Chun sighed in her heart, this is to save her face. If Mu Beiyi is stopped from going, he will inevitably have a reputation of "spoiling concubines and destroying wives". If Mu Beiyi is allowed to go, others will say that she is "incompetent". Then he raised his head and asked half-truthfully: "Since the queen mother came to invite, why is it not the most useful cooking girl by the queen's mother, but you?" β
A layer of sweat appeared on Ah Chuan's forehead: "It is said that the fever of the child is not easy to use medicine, and it needs to be mixed with breast milk to melt it." Although the queen mother is the mother of the four princes..."
"Yue Wanyi is the biological mother of the fourth prince?" Pillow Spring smiled.
Na Chuan Dengshi was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a cold sweat.
Pillow Chun turned his head to Mu Beiyi, and thought for a while: "The fourth prince is the heir of the emperor, even if he is a minor illness, it is a big deal. The queen mother has always cherished the four princes as treasures in the palm of her hand, and she must be very anxious at this time. According to the opinion of the concubine, Your Majesty should go quickly. Saying that, he pretended to be anxious and called Su Bai, "In the treasury of the Jianghe Hall of the main palace, there are a few excellent rhinoceros horns and Bodhi flowers. These two things are the most antipyretic, and I quickly sent someone to take them out and offer them to the queen. β
Mu Beiyi saw that Pillow Spring was so generous, and patted her hand with his chin head, and went too.
Pillow Chun wished that he would go farther away immediately, so that Fushoutai was respected by her Ming Guifei. At this time, Ren is a moment of wine and entertainment, and he is too lazy to do it again, and he doesn't care whether the ministers who are light on their work are full of food and drink. As soon as she saw Mu Beiyi's guard of honor disappear from sight, she immediately got up and said, "The palace is tired, disperse." Immediately, he turned to Su Bai and said, "Quick, go and ask my father, mother and brothers to talk about it." β
The library near Fukujudai is a library behind passing by a maple forest. Although it is called "Library Pavilion", it is actually a wonderful place where the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and scholars are gathered in one place, with tens of thousands of books, and there are flower halls, corridors and ponds. This is the place where the first emperor summoned the princes to take the academic examination, because the eldest prince of this dynasty is only ten years old now, so it is not often lively here.
The honor guard of pillow spring went down to Fushou Terrace, and the library pavilion was lit up in a hurry. Su Bai welcomed her into the pavilion, passed through a rather elegant waterfront corridor, and entered a spacious hall full of ink fragrance. The attendants waited for the pillow spring to sit down, and the hot flower tea was steaming, and it was so full in the Tianmu cup.
I listened to the singing outside: "Shangshu ordered An Qingshan to bring his wife An Tu, Zhenbei General An Lingjun, and Zhongshu Lang An Zhengze to arriveββ"
Pillow Chun helped Xiao Case to stand up, clenched a cuff, tried to make himself less sensational, and took two steps: "Father, Mother." Brother ......"
When An Qingshan entered the hall, he had to bow to the pillow spring. He exhaled in his mouth: "Ming Guifei Wan'an." β
Pillow Chun hurriedly helped him up, took away his skirt and shawl, and knelt down with the heavy beaded tassels, and said: "Avoid people's eyes and ears here, and father and mother don't have to be formal." Pillow spring to pray for the well-being of father and mother. β
Seeing each other this time, they shook hands and looked at each other for half a pillar of incense for half an hour, and then they sat down.
"My father is now in charge of Shang Shuling, and the government and the opposition are called An Zaifu." Pillow Chun personally poured the tea, motioned for Su Bai to give it to his parents to taste, and said, "Is it going well in political affairs now?" Can you get the tricky part? β
An Qingshan stroked his beard slightly, and muttered: "Because of the short time in office, if you say that it is tricky, it is indeed not. At this time, most of the affairs of Shangshu Province were personally watched by the Son of Heaven, and there were not too many chapters and affairs that the father could handle with full authority. β
Pillow Chun heard this, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. Shang Shuling, as the head of the country, is extremely powerful, and now there are not too many things to do. In this way, Mu Beiyi's method of centralizing power is very useful, and it does hollow out the authority of Shang Shuling, and he wants to make his father a puppet prime minister. was thinking about how to understand this meaning and alert his father, but he heard An Zhengze say: "Father now knows the seriousness of the matter, and the little sister doesn't have to worry." When the father is familiar with the authority of Shang Shuling, he will find a proper and appropriate position and then grasp the authority of Shang Shuling. β
Pillow Spring was quite surprised. The eldest brother An Zhengze has always been very upright, even a little fierce and rigid. "Proper, proper place", such a slick thing, it is hard to imagine coming out of his mouth.
An Zhengze means that although his father has no authority now, it doesn't matter, as long as he sits in the position of prime minister. After a long time, keep the mind of the Son of Heaven, and then be able to win the power of the prime minister. Pillow Chun naturally knew that this was the truth, but looking at the eldest brother in front of him, he felt a little surprised.
An Zhengze noticed Pillow Chun's surprise, and said with a faint smile: "Little sister, don't think about it, in your heart, I am still the ambitious Tanhualang who is the year of the crown." β
When Pillow Chun heard him say this, he looked at it intently, and it was indeed different again. Since the draft and farewell to her eldest brother, An Zhengze in her heart has been fixed on his youthful appearance. Now that seven or eight years have passed, the eldest brother is already in his prime, and he has grown his beard, which is the appearance of his beard, which is somewhat the same as his father. She smiled with affection: "Big brother has changed a little, I don't think much about it." Father and brother know the political situation, which is the best. β
An Zhengze sighed: "You can rest assured." The elder brother has been immersed in Zhongshu Province for several years, and he has been worn out some edges and corners, but his ambitions and ideals for the country have not changed. The political situation is complicated, and there is a father and me in the court, and the little sister must let go of her worries and don't work too hard. β
Pillow Chun remembered that when she entered the cold palace, her eldest brother interceded for her and knelt in the cold wind in front of the Jinluan Palace for several days. couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and his chin bowed: "It's all for settling down, and it's not too much work." β
"You two are here to be polite and half-paid, where do you feel like a family?" An Lingjun peeled off the oranges on the table with his bare hands, ate them by himself, and laughed, "Little sister, and be an arrogant and lascivious concubine, it's good to be lazy and play cards all day long." On the side, there are brothers who grasp it. I only hope that I will spoil you in my life, and don't suffer from the idleness of the Liu family. β
Tu Shi snorted lightly and motioned An Lingjun to speak carefully: "Why do you say such a thing!" β
An Lingjun pursed his lips and spit out two orange cores: "The old man of Liu Zhuguo is uneasy and kind, it is said that Mrs. Wang, the main mother of the Liu family, is still a world friend with her mother, but today her daughter is embarrassed by my little sister." Mother doesn't have to play a round, even if the Liu family touches my little sister again, I will let them know that it is powerful. β
Pillow Chun couldn't help but cover his lips with a handkerchief and laughed: "The second brother's temperament hasn't changed." It's just that the second brother is now a general of Zhenbei, so he can't be so stubborn anymore. β
An Ling didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother, I got a halberd outside the plug in Yanmen, if someone bullies you, I will carry the halberd to stab the wicked person in the right way to give you anger!" β
"Yes, yes, the second brother is the most heroic." Pillow Chun smiled, "I don't know how the sisters-in-law and nephews are?" β
As soon as he said this, Tu Shi laughed: "Naturally, it's good, especially your two nephews, who can already recite a lot of poems!" Then he thought about it again, and said, "Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence." On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ying Guogong and Peach Blossom came to our house and sent many congratulatory gifts. β
"Peach blossom? Is she okay? Pillow Spring's eyes lit up.
Tu Shi responded and couldn't help nodding: "Okay, well, she is now the county lady and the main mother of the Yingguo Mansion, and she is decent." It is said that Ying Guogong and Peach Blossom are also a couple of concubines, and the girl doll they brought is very beautiful! β
"Peach blossoms? Is it a girl? Pillow Chunxi couldn't help himself, and asked, "What's your name?" β
"Qi'er. It's called Meng Qi'er. β
"Ah......" Pillow Chun was slightly stunned, thinking that this was his own name, and he couldn't help but have mixed tastes, "Yes, it's Qi'er." The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. β
Tu said: "I don't know that there is another happy event." She smiled brightly and said to Zhuchun, "That Qi'er is so cute, I came to the house to play with your second nephew." Lingjun has been fighting all year round, and often has no time to go home to see his son. Therefore, I made the decision with your father, so I pointed out the son of Lingjun and the son of the Ying Guo family as a baby. β
"Really?" Peach Blossom's daughter actually pointed out to the second brother's son, Pillow Chun's eyes were clear, and his face was full of joy, "This ...... This is indeed a great joy. β
An Ling didn't care: "It's common for two babies to play together, and my mother didn't ask me what I meant. That Ying Guogong is young and hairless on his mouth, so he is inevitably too weak. β
"Second brother, where are you talking about?" Pillow Chun covered his lips with a handkerchief and laughed, "Although Ying Guogong is not proficient in martial arts, he is good at learning and is a long-term person. Peach Blossom is diligent and kind, and I think that in the future, it will naturally not be bad. β
As he was talking, a happy scene of family reunion. Seeing that the curtain in front of the hall was lifted, Su Bai came in with a hot steamed flower cake and whispered: "Niangniang, the little master of Concubine Li came over, saying that she had something to ask to see you." β
"Cherry?" When Pillow Chun heard this, he was a little surprised, "She remembered me upside down, and she also found such a remote place." Saying that, he explained to An Lingjun, "Speaking of this concubine, the second brother has seen it. β
An Lingjun thought about it, and naturally remembered, and said, "Cherry girl is now a concubine of the Son of Heaven?" I remember her, if you talk about the little sister's suffering, the cherry girl is also the benefactor of the An family. β
Pillow Chun nodded: "She treats me like a relative and a friend." As he spoke, he called Su Bai, "Quickly invite Concubine Li in." β
After a while, I saw the curtain turning, and a beautiful beauty in a goose yellow light gauze dress came. Cherry Shaoai was charming, her black hair was like a cloud of crows, and she suddenly stepped forward and said, "Meet Concubine Ming." He bowed sideways, "I've seen two Ann adults...... General Ann. β
Pillow Chun smiled like a flower, stepped forward and picked up the cherry: "Look, the family's surname is An, but it makes Concubine Li chew it." He personally led her into the seat, and pushed fruits and cakes for her to eat: "It is you who are kind to us to settle down." β
Cherry lowered her eyes and said tactfully: "Niangniang is kind to Cherry." β
"I didn't see Miss Cherry earlier, so I might as well prepare a congratulatory gift." An Lingjun said.
An Qingshan coughed lightly: "The vertical son must not be rude, and when he sees the concubine, he should be called the little master of the concubine." β
"Little Master Li." An Lingjun read it, and he didn't care much about it, and said while rubbing it from his cuffs: "There are abundant gems outside the plug, and the scattered original treasures are put in a box for me to dedicate to Your Majesty." He said, took out an agate string with a red thread, and got up to get up to get the cherry, "This string is reserved for the little Qi'er who wants to give it to the Ying Guo Gong'er, but today I saw the little master of the concubine first, so it is better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." β
Pillow Chun was half disgusted and half strange, and smiled and slapped An Lingjun: "The second brother is so ignorant of etiquette, how can he give a gift to his daughter-in-law to his benefactor." β
"Daughter-in-law?" Cherry was stunned and took a step back.
"Fang is just saying, the eldest son of the second brother has set a baby kiss." Pillow Chun stretched out his hand and took the agate string from An Lingjun's hand to look at it, and when he saw that it was a transparent and bright red treasure, he joked, "It's good that my brother still has such a good thing." Now that I have taken it out today, I will make the decision to give it to the cherry. As for Xiao Qi'er, the second brother will find a good gift to make up for it. With that, he took Cherry's hand and put the agate on.
The cherry cheeks were like a cloud, and he pushed it again and again, and said straightly: "No, how can you accept such a precious gift from General An." β
"He is now also a general of Zhenbei, and he thinks he has a lot of secrets." Pillow Chun teased, "It's the same as him, presumably it won't be in the way, you don't have to worry about cherry." Yes...... Why are you in such a hurry to see me in such a remote library? β
When he said this, Cherry remembered what was going on, and replied: "It was a general surnamed Ji who got lost after the banquet, and the concubine happened to pass by Fushoutai, afraid that he would enter the inner palace by mistake, so she asked him where he was going." He said he was looking for General An. The concubine thought that General An should be catching up with Niangniang's family at this time, so she brought him over. β
"Surname Ji?" Pillow Spring raised his eyebrows.
