Chapter Four: Xuanzhe's New Relocation (2)
The music and dance are high-spirited, the rhythm is bright, and the servants use their bodies to express the thoughts and plans of the Lanling King on the battlefield......
Xuan Zhe sat down with me and asked, "Does the concubine still like it?" ”
I smiled and nodded, watched quietly for a while, and when I looked back, I saw that Xuan Zhe was fascinated, and my heart began to be faintly uneasy. Xuan Zhe is filial piety, has always been good at writing and does not like martial arts, and is more quiet and less moving, and now he is in his youth, if he falls in love with this servant play......
I don't despise the servants in my heart, and when I think back to those days, I was just a person who imitated people. It's just that Xuan Zhe is in the emperor's house and the eldest son of the emperor, and the burden on his shoulders is naturally not as good as that of ordinary people's children, and if a man is in love with these, it is not the way to cultivate self-cultivation and morality.
Although he thinks this in his heart, it can be seen that he is filial, and he can't bear to splash cold water on him.
After the dance, Xuan Zhe had a little smug on his face, I found an opportunity and persuaded euphemistically: "This dancing mother concubine likes it very much, and the mother concubine of Sheng'er has accepted it." It's just that Sheng'er should remember that you have the high hopes of your father, and you must not be wild and frolicking all day long in the future. ”
The Queen Mother sighed when she heard this: "What your mother said is very true, Sheng'er is the eldest emperor, the important thing is to learn martial arts and literature, and set an example for your younger brothers." ”
"Yes, the boy wrote it down." Xuan Zhe's eyes dimmed, I softened my heart for a while, and I couldn't bear to be too him, patted the back of his hand, and smiled at him soothingly.
As he was talking, he only heard the prince of Lingxiao Palace's palace servant Degong announce: "Li Xiuyi's mother brought Prince Xuanyu to congratulate; Shen Xiuyuan brought the prince Xuanbao to congratulate. "Shen Yuefu was favored by Xuanbao in the last year, when Zhang Xianru was a concubine, she entered Xiuyuan.
"Xiuyi Li Yanniang, Xiuyuan Shen Yuefu see the Queen Mother, see Guifei Niangniang. Today, I came to congratulate Xuanyu Xuanbao. Li Yanniang and Shen Yuefu visited the shrine together.
Jinyan got up to return the salute, and Jingyi and I were above the two of them, and only bowed their heads to return the salute.
When everyone sat down, Xuan Yu and Xuan Bao had already pestered Xuan Zhe to see his apse, and I smiled at Xuan Zhe: "Sheng'er is the master today, but you must do your best to be a good landlord." Xuan Zhe responded with a smile, took his two younger brothers, and talked and laughed all the way into the apse.
I watched them leave with a smile, it was not easy to think that the royal brothers were on a blind date, now Xuan Zhe is thirteen years old, Xuan Yu is almost nine years old, and Xuan Bao is also six years old.
Just as she was contemplating and returning to her senses, Li Yanniang had already stepped forward, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?" Do you see that the children are all older, and you are feeling that the years are urging people?! "With that, he stared at me with a pair of hanging phoenix eyes.
This person has always had something to say, but I don't bother to bother with her, so I only smile lightly.
"The concubine Niangniang has not given birth, how can she compare with us......" Shen Yuefu looked at it with a smile for a moment, and said in a cheerful voice: "The concubine Niangniang looks much younger and more beautiful than you and me, who are mothers. ”
"Hehe, hehe." Li Yanniang laughed dryly twice and said, "That's nature, it's very hard to have children." Sister, do you say? ”
Shen Yuefu didn't expect her to say this, so she was speechless for a while, only smiled wryly, and returned to her seat.
Since the last time I experienced the catastrophe of life and death, I have a heart of cherishing fate, in fact, I have to be grateful and content when I live! So now when it comes to the heirs, the knots in my heart are gradually dissolved. Now, although I am looking forward to having a child, I no longer resent others to mention it, let alone find it sarcastic or ulterior motives.
Therefore, Li Yanniang's words, I looked at her with a calm smile. Yan Niang's face was stunned, and she was afraid that she was also bored, so she was silent.
The Queen Mother on the side was quite unhappy with a cold face, and said: "I think Rui'er is a blessed and son-like fate, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be good news." As he spoke, he reached out and patted my hand, as if to soothe me.
Later, he called Yuefu and said: "Shen Xiuyuan, Bao'er has always been weak, but she has been recuperating regularly. ”
Seeing the question, Yue Fu moved around and replied with a smile: "Mother Lao's postscript, Doctor Zhang of Tai Hospital often comes to see you." It's just that Bao'er is congenitally deficient, and she always has some small problems. ”
The Queen Mother sighed when she heard this and said: "Bao'er, this child is the most intelligent, no wonder Baoyuan loves him the most." ”
Yuefu nodded with a smile, and personally went to my table to pour tea for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother took it with a smile, and she poured another cup and handed it to me, I hesitated and did not stretch out my hand. But I heard her call softly: "My sister is recovering from her injury, and my sister is afraid of disturbing my sister's recuperation and dare not come to visit. ”
I didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile on the corner of my mouth. When she was a little embarrassed, I took the teacup and said generously: "My sister is outside, my sister has to take care of Xuanbao on weekdays, and she has to serve the emperor, which is very hard!" ”
Although I do not fight with others, the scars of betrayal are especially close to my heart. Shen Yuefu in front of me was looking at me earnestly, and the indescribable beauty in her eyes was so touching that I felt pity. It's just that now I am no longer the woman who can be moved casually. Now that the Queen Mother is on her side, even if she accompanies her to act, she has to act out of ten.
After listening to what I said, she smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and turned around, and smiled to herself and poured a glass for Jingyi and Jinyan.
At the end of July, the hibiscus spits fragrant and the fragrance of flowers hits people.
Yesterday, Bao Yuan told me that Xin Ning wanted to enter the palace to see me today. We sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and I was sitting in the Changchun Hall early.
Listening to Ling Xuan, Ling Rong returned to Shu from Bianliang a few days ago. Ling Rong's family business is getting bigger and bigger, going back and forth in Bianliang in the Han Dynasty in the north, Dali in the southwest, and Wu and Vietnam in the southeast and Tang. If you want to come to Xinning as a housewife, you must be very busy with things at home, and it is not easy to take time to enter the palace to see me today.
When the time was near, Xinning and Ji'er brought some things from the Central Plains into the palace to explore. The peanut cakes and champion cakes in the fine food box cannot be compared with the delicate snacks in my Shu, but Jill has traveled thousands of miles to make people moved.
I haven't seen Jill for a long time, and I don't want to grow a lot taller, with pink cheeks and delicate faces, which makes people happy.
I was happy in my heart, and I hugged Jill close and asked with a smile: "How many times should I go to Bianliang?" ”
Jill replied proudly, "It's the third time." ”
"Yo, that's not easy! If you want to come to Jier, you will have more places to go, and your knowledge will naturally be broader. I laughed.
I don't want Ji'er to frown and pout, and said: "When we entered Bianliang, the Han general Guo Wei rebelled and returned to the dynasty victoriously, and passers-by said that the anti-thief Li Shouzhen's family died by self-immolation. Sister Hua Rui, I actually saw a woman in Guo Wei's team, with a vague appearance and posture similar to the Fu Ziyi I saw that year. ”
I was shocked, it turned out that the years were like water, Guo Wei's prestige was growing day by day, and the Central Plains was afraid that it was time to change the dynasty. sighed lightly: "Ziyi married Li Shouzhen's son back then, and she turned the danger into a disaster in the rebellion, but nothing happened. The woman who was all vegan that my sister said should be purple. ”
"I didn't expect that Sister Ziyi would be such a fate." Jill lowered her eyes and sighed.
On the side, Xin Ning interrupted and smiled: "Don't sigh at others first, look at my sister-in-law, she is almost seventeen years old this year, and she refuses to marry, she really thinks she is the third son of the Ling family." ”
"Sister-in-law, you still say." Jill curled the corners of her mouth and said, "You and your mother are nagging in my ears all day long. Don't look at it, who are you looking for for me, either the son of this family or the talent of that family, all of them are men who are powerless. ”
"Look, this little girl, tell me, are you choosing a husband or a soldier?" Xin Ning joked on the side.
"Niangniang, you take care of my sister-in-law, she is a mother, and she likes to tease others." Jill blushed and smiled, and I commented.
"That's good, that's good, little girl, today you tell your mother, what kind of man do you want to marry?" Xinning Road.
Seeing that I was listening carefully, Jill leaned on me with a red face, and said shyly: "This lady knows better than my sister-in-law." ”
"I know, how can I know!" I laughed dumbly.
"Scared, my mother is as annoying as my sister-in-law, and I like to tease people." Jill squirmed.
"How can I tease you, I really don't know, if Jill gives me a reminder, maybe this palace can find a wishful husband for you!"
"Mother's ......"
"Talk about it, talk about it...... What kind of do you like? ”
"That's it, just ......" Jill swallowed, blushing for a while and said, "Of course, it's a hero like the second brother in purple." ”
My heart trembled, my body stiffened, the person she mentioned was thrown under Guo Wei, and now he is reused in the army.
Sure enough, history is still following the original trajectory, so how many years are there to be happy days for me and Meng Lang? My heart became uncomfortable for a while, and I was stunned and speechless.
"Sister Blossom!" Listening to Ji'er's call to me, Fang came back to his senses and said to Xinning: "Sister, don't care, Ji'er just listened to some heroic stories in Bianliang." ”
"Hey, even my sister and sister-in-law have a nostril of air." Jill's little face was swollen and red.
"Really? It turns out that we are the real sisters! Xinning and I looked at each other and smiled.
"Phew, what sisters are of the same heart, you are clearly the same like to bully people." Jill chirped.
"Really?"
"Well, it was."
"That's good," I said with a smile: "Sister, tomorrow I will present the person you have chosen, and I will ask the emperor to marry Ji'er." ”
"Ahh No, no, no. Jill believed it, and was so anxious that she waved her hand in front of me, and she almost scratched her ears and cheeks. Xinning and I chuckled at her cuteness.
"Mother~! The emperor invited the lady to have lunch at the painting boat. Father-in-law Zeng entered the room and said.
Xinning got up and took Jill to say goodbye, I left them to eat together, Xinning refused to say that it was not agreeable, but Jill was overjoyed, curious and looking forward to seeing me.
"Who else but the emperor?" I asked Zeng Gonggong.
"Hui Niangniang, the Queen Mother and the Third Prince are also here." Zeng Gongyi.
"Isn't Shen Xiuyuan here?"
"The old slave didn't see it."
I turned around and persuaded: "Since Jill is curious, the Queen Mother has always loved to be lively, and I must like it when I see you today, so let's go together." ”
Xinning couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
Out of the Changchun Palace, walk through the nine-curved corridor, and see the painting boat has docked on the waterfront outside the hall from a distance. Bao Yuan smiled and brought Xuan Bao to greet me at the bow of the boat, Xin Ning hurriedly pulled Ji'er to pay homage, Bao Yuan said that the two of them did not have to be formal.
On the painting boat, the Queen Mother was happy to see that it was Xinning and Ji'er, and beckoned to sit down at the same table, and Xinning pushed a few times before she sat down.
I sat down with Bao Yuan, and Xuanbao was led by the palace people to play fish at the end of the boat.
The autumn light is beautiful, the flowers on the shore are sultry, the music on the square is light and low, like a round, I turned my eyes to look around the painting boat, but I saw that the people in the clothes and hats in the kitchen boat on the side of the boat were very familiar, and looked at Baoyuan suspiciously.
Bao Yuan smiled and called, "Fisherman, show up quickly." ”
When the man heard the voice, he took off his coat and hat and bowed down and said, "The minister Wang Zhaoyuan sees the noble concubine Niangniang, and the lady is blessed with Jin'an." "Alas, I sighed lightly in my heart, this close minister is so disguised, I am afraid that Wang Zhaoyuan is the only one.
It's just that I haven't liked this person, and I said coldly: "Lord Wang has now moved to the position of envoy, and he is in a high position, how can he still do the work of this curtain lang." ”
He sneered and said: "Niangniang said that the emperor is joking, what the emperor needs the ministers to do, the ministers will do anything, even if the liver and brain are smeared, the emperor's wish must be fulfilled." ”
"Gotcha, gotcha! Zhaoyuan is no longer poor, the concubine naturally doesn't eat your set. Let's get fresh in the river today! Bao Yuan smiled at him, hugged me lightly and said with a smile: "Today, the kitchen boat has made a few fresh dishes, and you haven't taken any medicine recently, so I think you can try it." ”
While speaking, Wang Zhaoyuan and the people of the Shangshi Palace have already presented all kinds of fish dishes, all of which are cooked with fresh fish that has just been caught from the Longyue Pond. Here it is:
The kitchen boat eats in clusters, and the banquet is nothing more than a list of close ministers.
At noon, the head of the palace proclaimed the fish, and the flowers urged the fishermen.
