Chapter 160: Handkerchiefs
Pillow Chun and Duanmu Ruo haven't talked well for a long time.
Pillow Chun's heart is a little empty. An Huatang's death came a little suddenly. really let Pillow Chun hold the coffin of An Huatang's corpse and howl for a few days, she can't pretend to be such holy compassion.
Can...... In the end, there was a strange touch and nostalgia, and she suddenly didn't seem to know what to say to Duanmuruo. Duanmu Ruo didn't deliberately get close to her, and whenever the two met, their words were always faint. Duanmu Ruo smiled lightly like a cigarette in his eyebrows, and looked at her quietly.
It's like looking at a loved one.
Can the friendship and friendship between women also be great? Pillow Spring thinks so occasionally.
Because of the Flower Meeting, the Zhou Ceremony of the Four Princes was delayed for a few days, and it was finally held under the preparation of Liu Anran.
The Four Princes... Born more like a crescent moon. Jet-black hair, tiny earlobes.
But everyone says that the four princes are very similar to the queen's mother, you look at these eyebrows and eyes, a mold.
Not at all.
Su Bai reminded Pillow Spring on weekdays, taking advantage of the abundance of favors, to take care of the heirs. Otherwise, in the future, the four princes will establish a prince, and it will be difficult to shake.
"Shake what?" Pillow Chun held Su Bai's hand and stepped on the palace road full of petals, looking indifferent.
Su Bai glanced at the cornices of the Huangyuan Palace in the distance, bowed his head and replied, "If you don't have a child at this time, it will be difficult to shake the foundation of Queen Liu." ”
Pillow Chun shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry. ”
Su Bai was puzzled.
Pillow Spring said: "I'm not ready yet. If I get it at this time, I will have both gains and losses. You know that people are not afraid of losing and losing when they are young, but when they are older, they are not so brave. Let's drink the decoction for another two months, and ask Doctor Gao to make the recipe gentler. ”
As the two were talking, they entered the Huangyuan Palace. The waiter at the door saw Pillow Chun and sang, "Concubine Ming is here-" and led her in. The furnishings of Huangyuan Palace are still very elegant, simple and exquisite. Probably because this is because Liu Anran carefully furnished everywhere.
Pillow Spring stepped on the smooth floor tiles and entered the hall, and smelled a faint aroma of fat powder. The side hall was full of red makeup, and Pillow Chun's eyes swept around, but he didn't see Duanmuruo.
But it was Cherry who walked out of the hall and greeted her, and called crisply: "Niangniang." ”
Pillow Chun smiled lightly, held her hand, and sighed: "But I was born more beautiful." ”
Cherry's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "Don't make fun of it." “
Pillow Chun thought for a while, but still asked, "Have you seen Ruo'er?" “
Cherry replied, "Zhen Wanyi came earlier, but she said it was a cold. She sat for a while, felt a headache and fever, and went back. ”
When Pillow Chun heard it, he was really indifferent against his heart, but he couldn't blind his own heart. Hearing this, he was still anxious, and hurriedly called Su Bai to prepare some antipyretic medicinal materials. Turning around to see Cherry, I saw that she was wearing a jade pendant with a Rui Beast bead on the forbidden side of her skirt, and her expression was slightly stagnant. After a while of the taste in her heart, she smoothed the forbidden steps for her along the skirt of the cherry, and said softly: "Today's spring dew is heavy, you also have to be careful." She grabbed the jade pendant and said softly: "I look at this pendant, it is very familiar." ”
Cherry staggered back, a hint of trepidation on her face, and argued, "Mother...... I ......"
Pillow Chun grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, frowning and sighing.
"Niangniang, this pendant is...... Be...... Slave ......"
"Shh Pillow Chunliang's cool fingers pressed her lips, "You are now the concubine of the Son of Heaven, where did you come from, you must call yourself carefully, and save yourself from making trouble." ”
"Concubine......" Cherry was sad in her heart, pursed the corners of her mouth, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her cuffs.
"This is a beast, but it is a god." Pillow Chun patted her hand and said softly: "There should be two pieces, one is Hebo, and the other is a mountain ghost." You're a mountain ghost. ”
Cherry was puzzled, lowered her head and pulled the jade pendant to look at it, and asked, "Mountain ghost?" What does this mean? ”
"Hebo is borrowed from the "Chu Ci", the fish scale house Xilongtang, the purple shell and the Zhu Palace, and the spirit is in the water. It's about the handsome river beauty. The mountain ghost refers to the surface of the independent mountain, and the cloud is on the bottom. It is a peerless and independent amorous mountain god. Pillow Chun's eyes showed nostalgia and tenderness, "It's a couple." ”
"Hebo, mountain god ......" Cherry thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be ......"
"My father was a scholar." Pillow Chun smiled lightly, "Scholars have the stubbornness and backbone of scholars, and when their blood is strong, they have admired the story of the arrogant and lonely minister, and they also want to leave a virtuous name like a saint in history." But the more prominent the position, the more aware of the importance of hiding the mean. Gradually...... A young man who has been up and down in the sea has become a middle-aged man who knows how to be serious and sleek. Fortunately, he gave birth to two sons, named Zhengzheng and Lingjun. ”
"The name Yu is regular, and the word Yu is Lingjun...... These are Qu Yuan's font sizes. Cherry naturally understood, buried her head very low, and her ears were red, "It was General An who put this on me, so that I could communicate with the An family if I was in trouble." Originally, it was to try to get Niangniang out of the cold palace courtyard...... "As she spoke, she went to fetch that Peiyu to return to Pillow Chun.
"I know." Pillow Chun held down Cherry's hand, "The second brother gave it to you, you can keep it." Just ...... Keep a thought. ”
Cherry sighed softly, lowered her head and followed the pillow into the hall.
Pillow Chun entered the side hall, and saw the concubines full of rouge incense powder, and saw the stars and the moon holding the four princes who were guarding...... Sure enough, it's not like Liu Anran.
Because of the legacy of the case of the three princes, Pillow Chun didn't want to be bored, and only sat down on Lian Yueyang's side from a distance, watching the four princes catch Zhou.
Liu Anran's preparation of the Zhou ceremony was very thorough. In front of the temple, the gods were worshipped, and the rice sieve was full of all kinds of things. The four princes were dressed in auspicious red clothes, their heads and tails were decorated with gold and jade, and they looked very cute with their faces and hands.
There are books, pen and ink, abacus, coins, and even rulers, straw, short knives and inkstones, and there are more than ten kinds of large and small ones. One thing is particularly conspicuous, and the pillow spring equinox clearly sees that there is a gold seal on the head of the rice sieve.
This is the share that the rest of the princes did not have when they caught Zhou.
The nurse held a rice sieve full of golden bells and presented it to Liu Anran, and Liu Anran asked Mu Beiyi to look at it again.
Mu Beiyi naturally saw the golden seal, but he bowed his head and didn't say anything. This shows extreme affection and grace, as well as tolerance and acquiescence.
Pillow Spring thought that since he put this thing in, he must have made a way. Probably no matter which one the four princes like, they may all grasp the golden seal.
It was thinking of such a thing, but I saw the fourth prince dragging the nurse's hand in the milk and fluttering, giggling and being hugged. The crescent moon eyes swam with the four princes, and a trace of gentleness appeared on his humble and silent face. It's her weakness.
Once a person has a weakness, he can no longer be invincible.
Pillow Chun looked at the serious look in the crescent moon's eyes, and malice suddenly appeared in his heart. He got up and leaned over, reaching out and tugging at the crimson shawl of the person in front of him.
The Huaguan beauty turned her head and glanced at Pillow Chun: "What's the matter with Concubine Ming?" ”
"Concubine Rongde is dressed up very auspiciously today, and it is also a happy event for the four princes to catch Zhou." Pillow Chun took two steps forward, smiled and grabbed the wrist of the Fufeng County Lord, pasted it, and said, "When will you give birth to a little prince, you will be even more happy." ”
The county lord of Fufeng glanced at Zhuchun vigilantly, pushed her hand away, and said suspiciously: "You are not familiar with this palace, what are you doing to save this palace?" ”
Pillow Chun took a step back, waved her hand softly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is taboo about my involvement in the case of the third prince, and I don't dare to get close to the fourth prince." The lord of Fufeng has always been arrogant, you said that you are not familiar with me, and which one have you been familiar with? ”
"Hmph." The Fufeng County Lord sneered, ignored Pillow Chun, and sneered, "Why should this palace be familiar with anyone." The most annoying thing is your true and false affection. "It's the familiarity of you and the queen holding hands, but now it seems that this is not enough." ”
Pillow spring's eyes are dim, but he is lost and sad and refuses to speak.
The county lord of Fufeng looked at the four princes again, and he couldn't get interesting, so he glanced at the pillow and avoided it.
When the people walked away, the sadness on Pillow Chun's face was swept away, revealing a crimson handkerchief on his hand.
The veil of the lord of Fufeng can be regarded as a rare veil in the palace. She likes flowers with brilliant and beautiful colors, and she doesn't like to decorate them with sweet and greasy spices. A red handkerchief, the dazzling gold thread on the top of the Taiping embroidery, the front and back of the double-sided pressure needle are embroidered with ten colored treasures. No matter where you put it, the first thing you see is this.
Pillow Chun turned sideways, took a sweet and fragrant rice cake on the table, wrapped it in a gold thread handkerchief, and immediately ripped it open. She stroked the broken hair next to her ear with one hand, gently covered the red handkerchief with the other, and threw it into the rice sieve while everyone was watching.
This section of the red handkerchief, all kinds of gemstones are eye-catching, with a sweet and glutinous milk aroma, where can children resist liking?
saw that the four princes were hugged by people, and Gong E held the rice sieve and handed it forward, and the crescent moon was the first to see the clues. It's just that she is soft-spoken, standing far away, and she can reach out but can't reach the rice sieve decorated with golden bells.
Between the lightning and flint, the four princes' soft little hands dragged in the rice sieve. A dazzling brilliance flashed, and the red veil was held in the arms of the fourth prince, and he couldn't let go anymore.
Liu Anran was still looking at the gold seal in the rice sieve, turned his head, and happened to see that the fourth prince was holding a woman's red handkerchief and was about to put it in his mouth. His face turned white in an instant.
"Queen?" Mu Beiyi flicked his sleeves and pointed, "Where did this come from?!" ”
"There are no eighteen auspicious things prepared by the concubines...... Handkerchief. Liu Anran shook his sleeves to get the handkerchief in the hands of the four princes, but the four princes smelled the milk on the handkerchief and refused to let go, so anxious that Liu Anran broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
"This is like ......" Lord Fufeng looked at it fixedly, and reached out to wipe his waist and cuffs, "This looks like a concubine's veil?" ”
Pillow Chunwan smiled and said lightly: "Isn't it?" Concubine Rongde is wearing a dazzling jade, and she knows it at a glance. The four princes caught Zhou and were bustling, and Concubine Rongde accidentally dropped the handkerchief into the rice sieve, which was just a trivial matter. I think it's because Concubine Rongde is a big beauty, and even little dolls like it. ”
The county lord of Fufeng glanced at Zhuchun and praised her for being a great beauty or very pleasant, so he said: "It's crowded, and I don't know if I fall into it." Wouldn't it be good for the queen to return the veil and make the four princes catch Zhou again? ”
Naturally, the crowd responded.
Mu Beiyi's face slowed down a little when he heard this, but he didn't bother to look at it again, and sat down to sit down and signaled: "That's it, let's catch it again." ”
If you catch it again, it is to catch a gold treasure and a silver treasure, which is not what it means.
Liu Anran knew that it was a foregone conclusion, so he only smiled and took off the handkerchief in the hands of the four princes, and then beckoned Gong E to recapture Zhou for the four princes. The fourth prince will catch a golden seal steadily, but unfortunately Mu Beiyi doesn't care anymore.
Liu Anran prepared for such a result one day, and he really felt exhausted, so he took the golden seal and stuffed it into Gong'e's arms, and sat back with his eyebrows down.
If the four princes grasp a golden seal with one hand, and the Son of Heaven is happy to set up a storage position, it will be a certainty. At the moment, when it is critical, Pillow Spring cannot tolerate such mistakes.
Ah Chuan served beside the crescent moon, served tea to the crescent moon in horror, and whispered comfortingly: "You don't have to worry, it's just a trivial matter." ”
"Little things...... "Crescent Moon drank tea and half-covered her face, and snorted coldly, "Where didn't Concubine Rongde's veil fall, why did it fall in the Zhou of our four princes?" The gold seal is coated with sweetness, and the four princes don't grab it, but grab the handkerchief, there must be something strange in it. ”
Ah Chuan didn't dare to say anything, but lowered his head and asked, "What the noble person means, is Concubine Rongde......"
"Concubine Rongde's stupid fool, how can she think of such a method?" The crescent moon eyes flashed with a faint glow, and after a little thought, he said disgustedly, "Steal the beam and change the pillar." In this way, the plank road is darkened by Chen Cang's method...... It's like the means that damaged Ancairen. As she spoke, her eyes fell on Pillow Chun.
Pillow Chun was holding Cherry's hand and saying some affectionate words, and when he looked at Mu Beiyi's not so smug expression, he felt a lot more refreshed in his heart. She never believed in such a thing as catching Zhou. It is said that when she was a child, she caught a gold seal by herself, why didn't she see the official position of being the commander of the world.
It was in the middle of the banquet that Liu Anran looked around and was half full, so he passed on the song and dance reward, and awarded some fine wine and wine to the concubines present. What was given to the table of Pillow Spring was Xinfeng wine, the Xinfeng wine of the juvenile tour. With such a strong wine, Pillow Spring is used to being uncomfortable to drink, and it is not interesting to drink two sips, so he lazily holds his hands and looks at Liu Anran.
Sure enough, Liu Anran took advantage of Mu Beiyi's drunkenness, and said softly: "Today, all the sisters are also in harmony, and I can see that the fourth prince is now in good health, and the concubines are also satisfied." ”
Mu Beiyi patted Liu Anran's hand perfunctorily, and said in a hum voice: "The queen has worked hard." ”
Liu Anran gently wiped the sideburns on his forehead, and while thinking, he smiled and said, "There is also the credit of the Yue nobles. ”
Everyone looked in the direction of the crescent moon, with a mocking look on their faces. For the sake of dignity and dignity, the four princes have been "born to the queen" since childhood, and they have been the credit of the nobles of the month. Pillow Chun thought in his heart, Duanmu Ruo's quick knife chaos resulted in An Huatang's life, and Liu Anran's subordinates lost their cronies, so they were naturally panicked.
But the move of lifting the crescent moon can be regarded as a rush to the doctor, and the next move. The four princes are the hearts and livers that come out of the belly of the crescent moon, how can they have no attachment? Now she is raised by Liu Anran's side, and she is remembered as the "queen's concubine", just because of the huge disparity in the identities of the two of them, and Mu Beiyi dislikes the crescent moon and is from a humble background. A noble queen and a lowly nobleman need to rely on each other and use each other in order to make this matter perform steadily for a long time.
If the crescent moon is raised, once the balance of interests is tilted, they will be in chaos.
Liu Anran's illness was rushed to the doctor, and he was in the middle of the spring. Pillow Chun immediately responded: "The queen is really sympathetic to the concubines, and she is really virtuous." ”
Wonderful!
