Chapter 1: Entering the Palace
Time flies, never looking back.
As soon as Lin Xian's fifteenth birthday passed, it entered the end of the year, and the taste of keeping the filial piety period was not heavy, and soon Tang Yue passed the one-year filial piety period.
"The Queen Mother has a will, Tang Yue, the Marquis of Dingguo, has a good temperament, has a Buddha fate, and chooses to enter the palace with the Queen Mother to go to Bailu Temple to worship the Buddha. β
It turns out that this is the reason.
Tang Yue bowed respectfully, his face calm.
Everyone knows that this is just a reason to block the mouths of the people, the Queen Mother has been worshiping the Buddha all the year round, but Xuan Tang Yue entered the palace definitely not to worship the Buddha, this is paving the way for her to pass the Cui family, and it seems that she is going to borrow the power of the abbot of Bailu Temple.
Tang Hu Tang Long usually followed Cui Yan to study, learn words, study poetry and paint, although he still went back to the Tang Mansion every day to live, but obviously the relationship with Tang Yan was much weaker.
Tang Yue presided over the feed and thanked the guests behind closed doors, but Lu Wenjun next door often came to walk, although Tang Yue was depressed about the things in his previous life, but he was also sincere to Lu Wenjun.
In the past few months, the business of the drunken eight immortals has gradually improved, and it is managed by Mu Doudou, not to mention the daily progress of the gold, but it is also famous, and the seats are full.
Tang Yue took the maid to pack up the cage, three or four pieces of ordinary clothes, and hairpin ring jewelry should be taken away simply and elegantly, and he was busy making noise here, but Tang Yue stood outside the courtyard and watched the lights inside, and the darkness around him gradually thickened until it engulfed him.
Cui's has been laid out here.
Tang Chu smiled, his eyes were sarcastic, the Cui family loved him, but he loved the Cui family even more. The children respected him, but because of Cui's death, they were separated by a chasm.
He also turned out to be a lonely man, alone, a cocoon man.
"Sir, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest. β
"Let's go. β
Hold a small lamp into the dense darkness of the night.
Tang Yue sat at the table with a pen, thought and thought, and after a few thoughts, he put down the pen and considered leaving a book.
"You give this to the eldest brother, and you can only let him open it after I'm gone. Tang Yue found Yang Liu Banxia and ordered, and took out another box and handed it to Banxia, "You look for an opportunity to hand over the things to Luzhu." β
"Girl, can Luzhu work?" Banxia suspected, Luzhu was born in the wind and dust, and was the most accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, so how about the girl helping her bite back in the future?
"No woman wants to share her man with anyone else. Tang Yue smiled slightly, "So Luzhu will definitely join forces with Xia Qiwen to deal with Princess Rui." As he spoke, he said in an extremely light and bright tone: "Princess Rui has not been used to seeing King Rui's backyard for a long time. "So I will definitely take action against those who are threatening, and the first strike is stronger.
In her eyes, Xia Qiwen is really not worth mentioning. Tilting his head slightly, looking at the wick of the side, Tang Yue stretched out his hand to cut off one of them, and there was a cold air in his words, "Rui Wang is not a person who will be controlled by women, if Lu Zhu is smart, he will know that if he joins forces with Xia Qiwen, even if the two compete for favor, they will not tear their faces apart." "That's enough.
Banxia still didn't understand, but she didn't need to understand too much, she just needed to be sure that Lu Zhu could do Tang Yue's thing.
The next day, it was Bai Li who came to pick up people, white horses were handsome, and gentlemen were matched with beauties.
"Why did the queen summon you into the palace and follow her into Bailu Temple to worship the Buddha?" Bai Li frowned, unable to understand the inside story.
"My mother wanted to take me to Cui's house. Originally, I wanted her to drink Tang Long and go to the Cui family together, but Tang Hao might not agree.
"Cui family?" Bai Li was stunned, "The Cui family agrees?" "The Cui family is a big family, and the big families have a bit of internal contradictions, Tang Yue is simply out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth! Thinking of the thing that Su Wuxing suddenly found him a few months ago, he felt that it was not so simple, the Cui family seemed to be playing a big game of chess, and Tang Yue was very important to the Cui family!
Without waiting for Tang Yue to answer, Bai Li said with a cold face, "Ah Yue, you have to understand, not everyone in the Cui family is as good as Cui Yan, Cui Yan is your uncle, he grew up with your mother, and he has been close since he was a child, but others are different, a big family like the Cui family is a descendant, and your mother is not born to the Zheng family." You ......"
Tang Yue looked at him, his eyes were bright and bright, like a crumpled star and seemed to be a dew drop shattered on the ground, "I know, so I don't plan to stay at Cui's house for long, and it has nothing to do with me how they are." β
"But in this case, you have to come early to propose your marriage and welcome me over!"
"You?"
Bai Li looked at her suspiciously, puzzled.
Tang Yue sneered: "I will go to the Cui family after I am filial, as long as you come to marry me early, I won't stay in the Cui family for long!"
Bai Li had more doubts in his heart, but he could only suppress it in his heart, silently, with a relaxed look on his face, and chatting with Tang Yue without a match.
In the Pillow Fish Building, it is a rare quiet day.
"Girl, this gentleman sent me. The little maid held the brocade box and bowed her head.
Green Zhu took the brocade box and opened it, it was still a white porcelain vase and a small porcelain box, and her slender fingers stroked the porcelain vase inch by inch, Lu Zhu felt funny in her heart, no wonder the gentleman was not interested in her at all, and now it seems very likely to be a woman.
There were heavy carriages and horses outside, and the sound was mixed, which disturbed Luzhu's ears, Luzhu walked to the window and sat down, pushed open the window, lifted the gauze curtain, and frowned slightly, "What's the matter? So many carriages have arrived on this street? β
The little maid tilted her head and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother worshiped the Buddha and summoned many girls into the palace." β
"Oh?"
"It is said that there is Miss Tang from the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion, Aunt Yong'an's grandson, and Miss Jiang from the former Dali Temple. β
Lu Zhu was surprised that there was also Miss Tang in it, but she didn't say anything, the affairs of people like them were not something she could interfere in. Then he asked about King Rui.
"King Rui said that he will send someone to pick you up in a few days, and now he is still preparing things for your passage. β
Lu Zhu sneered, but the little maid looked envious, "King Rui treats you so well, after passing the house, it will really be brocade clothes and jade food, gold and jade grains!"
Lu Zhu was amused by the little girl, and she crouched on the couch with silky eyes, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "King Rui?
"There is only one princess Rui who has been prosperous for a long time, and that is not a simple character!"
"Then why did you still agree to go to King Rui's Mansion?" The little girl was a little anxious, she had followed Luzhu since she was a child, and she was accompanied when she was frustrated and became famous.
"Silly girl" Luzhu sighed, how can a person be as good as she wants in this life? Since she first got those things, she knew that sooner or later there would be this day, whether it was Rui Wang's mansion, Rui Wang was at least not bad, and he was also a gentleman to women, and she did not lose money in this transaction.
"People help me with grace, I repay the matter, and then accumulate silver taels, and so on after the matter is completed, I will take you home, Luoyang City peony is the most beautiful, there is a flower season to move the capital said, and I will take you to see it in the future." β
"Girl, we said we can't break our promise. "The little girl is still young, and she is quite interested in having fun, and she has long had a kind of blind confidence in her own girl, but how can everything be as expected.
"Naturally. Green beads leaned against the window, sideburns scattered, eyebrows raised, and three thousand fireworks bloomed in his eyes.
"Ah Yue, it's here. Outside the palace gate, Bai Li turned over and dismounted to help Tang Yue get out of the car, and there were already palace maids waiting with green cloth sedan chairs, seeing that Tang Yue and Bai Li had arrived, they said after a few steps and saluted, "I have seen King Ping, I have seen the county lord." We are waiting for the county lord here in accordance with the will of the Queen Mother. The main body of the county is weak, and you can take a sedan chair to the Ci'en Palace. β
"Good life takes care of you girls. Bai Li said to the wind chime. Because he went out to worship the Buddha, Tang Yue only brought wind chimes and Yang Liu here, and traveled in simple clothes.
Yang Liu stepped forward and stuffed a bag for the visitor without catching a trace, and smiled and said a few words before helping Tang Yue get into the sedan chair.
"You take care of yourself, too. Tang Yue glanced at Bai Li before lowering the sedan curtain.
It took about a quarter of an hour or two to reach the Palace of Mercy.
Tang Yue took a deep breath, followed the maid inside, knelt down, and got the grace to sit next to him.
Although the Queen Mother is over forty years old, she still does not see the traces of time, and at this moment she is also in plain clothes, holding a string of prayer beads and chanting silently, seeing Tang Yue sit down, she said, "There are still two people who have not yet arrived, one is Sun Yanwei of Uncle Yong'an, and the other is Jiang Mi of the Lang family of the Criminal Department, you are of the same age, you should be able to talk." β
"Sister Jiang Mi?" Tang Yue was slightly surprised, and smiled shyly, like a slim budding lotus, "I am more familiar with Sister Jiang Mi." β
The Queen Mother glanced at her, smiled and shook her head, "Green Sprouts, bring the bird's nest porridge sent by the imperial dining room before to the county lord." β
After the green sprouts went down, he said to Tang Yue, "I heard that you are studying medicine with Elder Gao?"
Tang Yue was a little frustrated, and glanced at the Queen Mother sadly, "How can I be, Elder Gao dislikes me for being old and not understanding enough, so he only let me read some medical books, and the others are no longer refused." β
"How can your squeamish temperament endure the hardships of studying medicine?" The Queen Mother smiled, Tang Yue is also her rare relative, and now she has a different taste when she sees it. Thinking of the letterhead sent from home, the Empress Dowager could not hide her disappointment in her heart, and even the few scholars dared to fool her mother's family? The patriarch of the Zheng clan has become more and more discontinued in recent years. Because of guilt, he was a little more tolerant of Tang Yue.
Here, Tang Yue drank bird's nest porridge and also thought about the deep meaning of the queen's move.
originally thought it was to pave the way for her to succeed in the Cui family, but now it seems to have another meaning. Although the Cui and Zheng families are deeply entangled, will the Queen Mother really take action for a sister who has been married for many years? Or is there any news from the Zheng family? What's more, is it really as Wuxing said, she has taken a fancy to her luck? She is going to enter the Ping Wangfu in the future, according to Wuxing's meaning, her mother does not seem to want to take away the luck of her body and the Tang family, it was she who accidentally put the token of the Cui family's enshrinement in the ancestral hall next to her that caused her anger to run to the Cui family, so what about the Zheng family? What is the plan?
It was about a quarter of an hour before the two of them were late.
"I've seen the Queen Mother, I've seen the county lord. β
Tang Yue has the title of county lord, which is naturally higher than this boudoir lady. Tang Yue also got up to return the salute.
"Sister Sun, Sister Jiang. β
"It's all here, so you can live in the side hall tonight?" The Queen Mother said kindly, her eyebrows were kind, and it was not the first time for the two to enter the palace, although it was the first time to meet the Queen Mother directly, because there was someone next to her who was not so unconfident, trembling, so she also bowed gracefully.
The Queen Mother sent the three of them away, and then whispered to the green buds, "You take three things and give them respectively." It can be regarded as a meeting gift from my old wife, who has worked hard for them to accompany me to worship Buddha these days. β
"Yes. Green Sprouts opened their mouths to say something, but they hesitated to open their mouths.
"Say whatever you want, you didn't follow me for the first day. The Queen Mother smiled.
"Does Niangniang want to marry Jiang Mi for the eldest son?"
"She has a good family, you look at her temperament first, if it is suitable, arrange for the two to meet, if it is suitable, so be it. The smile in the Queen Mother's eyes slowly faded.
"But the second girl of the Jiang family and Princess Dongyang are getting a little close. β
"What's this?" the Queen Mother looked like she was difficult to move, "The queen is a child, but Dongyang is smart but she doesn't see the emperor's family thoroughly enough, and she can't afford to make any big waves." β
"What's more, if you are too upper, you will be injured and old after all, and you can't handle government affairs. β
"If you're worried about taking the heir, I'm afraid it's too early. Hui Zhaorong is a person who can't support the wall, and the eldest prince is not necessarily smart, there are only two of them on his knees today, and one is just pregnant, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, and there will be no storms in 20 years. β
"King Kerui and King Heβ" Green Sprout couldn't help but worry when she thought of these two.
"I've been a bodhisattva for so many years, and I don't mind continuing to do it. As long as the Zheng family doesn't die and gets involved in the battle for the throne, it's okay to provoke the Zheng family?"
"You have to earn your own face. "The queen mother can see that if the Zheng family is involved in the matter of the throne, they will not be able to keep them, and she will write a book with peace of mind and say that the emperor is happy to hold a Wenqu star for offering.
