Chapter 139: Treasure
After eating, I wanted to sleep for a while, but the queen sent a message from the eunuch, saying that tomorrow, His Majesty would set off to Beiyuan Palace to enjoy Qiu Ju, and let me prepare to go together.
Beiyuan Palace is outside the city outside the Shengjing outside the rental state, away from the Shengjing 100 miles, the palace is built according to the mountain, there is a very big chrysanthemum garden in the back mountain, it is said that every autumn, the flowers bloom half of the field, a piece of gold, the clusters are very eye-catching.
This palace is only four or five hours' drive from Shengjing, and His Majesty used to go there once a year, but since he was not in good health, he did not go there for two years. Tomorrow happens to be the third day of Princess Dongmu Tianni's wedding, which can be regarded as a grace.
In the afternoon, I saw that the sun was just right, so I took a thin book and sat in front of the window to read.
The warmth is beautiful, and the breeze is beautiful.
A cup of tea and a book, a rare half-day of leisure.
Early the next morning, the butler had already prepared a carriage, and after combing his hair and makeup, he went to the palace first, and then went to the direction of the Beiyuan Palace with the team.
His Majesty traveled, and the entourage was all royal nobles, although everything was simple, the pomp and circumstance were also very strong, and there were thousands of people.
Set off at the time of Chen, walk slowly all the way, stop for a rest halfway, and wait until the time of Shen is halfway through, and then also arrive at Beiyuan.
It was getting late, and the carriages and horses were tired all day, and the eunuchs of their own palace arranged for the princes and princesses to rest.
The place where I live is next to the back garden, there is a small stream wooden bridge in front of the door, a piece of green bamboo on the side, and a few begonias that bloom to the luxury behind the window, a bit like the small courtyard where I lived when I lived in the Blue Pavilion.
The yard is not big, but the things are complete, there are many books on the bookshelf in the house, sit in front of the window, watch the moon and night begonias, smell the shallow wind and pick up candles and books, the heart is really quiet and pleasant.
"Miss, the sugar water is ready."
Green beads came in with a bowl, and the faint sweet fragrance spread, which was the smell of acacia nectar.
"Miss, this is a newly stewed in the dining room, it is said that it is made of new acacia flowers brought by Dongmu, we don't have locust flowers in Xiqi, so the slave will bring it to you to taste."
She placed the bowl on the table and brought some in a small bowl. I thought about it and took it.
The familiar acacia flowers, the familiar taste, the entrance is light and sweet, but the heart is bitter.
"Miss, isn't it delicious? Why are you a little upset? ”
I shook my head and put down the bowl that I had only eaten one bite of, "Take it down, I don't like the taste, don't take it again." ”
"Yes, miss." Lu Zhu responded to the next sound, quickly put away the cup, and replaced it with a cooked pu.
I was afraid that I would make an old disease, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I went to the bookshelf, and I wanted to pick up miscellaneous conversations to relieve boredom, but at the bottom of the bookshelf, there was a book core with a seriously damaged spine. Curious, I picked it up.
This book has no beginning or end, the paper is a little brittle and yellow, looking at its content, it seems to be a collection of folk anecdotes, I read two pages, I think the things recorded on it are quite appetizing, so I sat back in the chair and slowly flipped through it.
The above stories are all paragraph by paragraph, and I have heard a few of them in Dongmu, and it is impossible to determine whether they are true or false, but one of them tells a good story.
It is said that when the Apocalypse was not yet five minutes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to have already discovered the different intentions of the Pan King of the various counties, so he secretly collected rare treasures and a large amount of gold to dissolve into gold bricks among the people, and hid them in an extremely secret mountain hinterland. In case he gets into trouble one day, he can still have a chance to make a comeback.
During the reign of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the people were prosperous, although these gold treasures came from the people, but the scale and quantity were huge, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was afraid of being privately gained, so he secretly executed all the craftsmen and guards who built the treasure land, and even their families were not spared.
He carved the treasure pattern on a young son's back skin, chose a royal relative, hid incognito in the world, and guarded the treasure map in a way that could only obey him.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought perfectly, he only thought that he would be cornered by King Pan, but he didn't expect that the kings of all counties would gather together and cast the world's strange blade that even the Xuanjin battle armor on his body could pierce - Moque.
After the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, originally, the treasure and the traces of the emperor's relatives should have disappeared with it, but it just so happened that one of the craftsmen who built the treasure land for the Emperor of the Apocalypse back then expected what the result would be in advance, and sent his only son to a remote mountain village in advance, which was regarded as leaving a bloodline for his family.
When the craftsman's son grew up, he drank and talked nonsense, and occasionally mentioned it to others, and the secret of this treasure was revealed.
After the king of Pan of all counties knew the news, they all sent people all over the world to search, but no one could find the slightest clue of the treasure, and then I don't know who got angry and slaughtered the son of the craftsman and the whole village, and the secret of this treasure was sunk in the field.
However, the book says that the son of the craftsman thought too much, and when the news came out, he knew that he was in trouble. So he made a trick of the golden cicada to break out of the shell and run away in advance, the king of the county was because he couldn't find the village where the talent was slaughtered, and said that the leather treasure map had been exposed once among the people, as long as the map was found, the treasure left by the emperor of the apocalypse could be seen again.
All in all, the story is simple, but the description in this book is extremely detailed, and even the expressions of the characters are deeply depicted, and by the time I finished reading this story, more than half an hour had passed.
The Pu'er at hand was already cold, and the green beads felt tight and gave me a new tea, so I stretched my waist and moved my neck twice.
Looking at the page again, I couldn't help but chuckle, I don't know if it's a very fake thing, I actually read it very carefully, but the book mentions Mo Que, and this thing may really be true.
However, there is no way to verify whether it is true or not, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been dead for hundreds of years, and if he wants to know if there is any treasure, I am afraid that he will have to go to the underworld to ask him.
Take a sip of the teacup, and the warm liquid flows into the stomach, which is very pleasant.
I put the book block back to the bottom of the bookshelf, took a book of ancient calligraphy at random and flipped through it, turned a few pages and felt bored, saw the waning moon hanging on the eaves outside the window, the night view of the small bridge and flowing water was good, and I let the green beads palm the lamp, and walked slowly to the wooden bridge with cotton brocade.
From this position, you can see the small bridge and the moonlight reflected in the stream, and the night wind blows, blowing away the moonlight in the water, and the sparkling colors are full of bright colors.
"I haven't slept yet."
There was a gentle voice behind me, and I turned around slightly, and Helian Yunnuma was standing on the other side of the bridge with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that I was about to pass, he simply walked two steps slowly up to the wooden bridge, and stood three paces away from me, parallel to me.
He was wearing a frog robe with the words "Vermilion" rolled today, with a half-bundle of hair crowns, some black hair scattered on the back of his head, and two strands of broken hair on his sideburns, which fluttered gently in the wind.
I remember that when I first met the family banquet at the age of nine, he seemed to have such crowned hair. Five years, time flies so fast.
"Are you feeling better?" He asked.
I hummed and said, "It's much better, I can eat and sleep, everything is as usual." ”
"That'll be fine." Helian Yunnuma tugged at the corners of his lips.
I didn't like words, and he didn't seem to want to speak, so we both stood silent in the middle of the bridge.
"This king didn't have the same room with Tianni." He said suddenly.
I was stunned, he looked over, his eyes were deep, and his words were moist, "This king said, although I am married to Tianni, but I have been sleeping in the study for the past few days, and I have never stepped into her room. ”
I was a little slight, and looked at the stream under the bridge again, "The prince and Tilt Mu said that these are what they are doing, this is a private matter between your husband and wife, and it is better not to tell outsiders." ”
Helian Yunnuma pondered for a while, and said in a moist voice, "Pour Mu, you think in your heart, this king knows." ”
Before I could turn the corner, he actually smiled, raised his head slightly to look at the waning moon in the sky, and said lightly, "Xiao Tianmu, you have really grown up." Although you are a little reluctant, but this king also understands your heart, you take care of it, don't think about marrying a concubine for this king, everything can be discussed in the long run, you are so mindful, this king will not treat you down. ”
I was a little confused, but when I thought about it, I thought of what he said when he wanted to marry me as a side concubine, and I understood what he meant.
Helian Yunnuma, don't you think that I got sick with a cold and fever a few days ago, because he married Baili Tianni and was overthinking, right?
This is another misunderstanding!
I hurriedly said, "Lord, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, pour out ......"
"This king understands." He nodded and said, "You don't have to say anything, this king understands everything." Don't worry, this king will find a way, Dongmu's side, you don't have to worry too much, I won't let you marry Dongmu. ”
"Lord Wang, in fact, you misunderstood, pour your ......"
"After looking around, it turns out that the prince is here, it's really a good search for the concubines."
Before I could finish my sentence, a chatter came, and several women slowly walked from the other side of the wooden bridge.
The woman at the head was wearing a big red wedding robe, with a palace sideburn on her head, a golden step with three tassels inserted, with a red flower Xijuan, a beautiful face, and a pair of dark eyes looking at the future, it was Princess Tianni who married Helian Yunnuma as a concubine three days ago.
Although I don't like her, but she is a new bride, looking at the red dress, I inexplicably thought of the nineteen princesses who were sent to southern Xinjiang that day.
Besides, on that day's banquet competition, the punishment was punished on the spot, and the matter has passed, and I don't want to be embarrassed anymore.
But sometimes, I don't want to embarrass others, and others come to embarrass me.
Baili Tianni walked to the bridge, first saluted and called the prince, then looked at me, looked up and down, raised his voice, raised his head and said, "Lord Ning'an, don't you think something is missing?" ”
I didn't say anything, but she snorted, and said arrogantly, "I am Princess Dongmu, the princess who is marrying the royal prince, and the royal person."
Although you are the lord of the imperial seal and the person of the emperor, according to the Xiqi etiquette law, your status is not as high as that of the imperial princess. According to the courtesy, you are going to give me a big gift. ”
She glanced at me and continued to say arrogantly, "But since this princess came, I haven't seen the princess call a word about the princess's auspiciousness, and say that the princess is healthy." Is this the etiquette of your Xiqi? Hmph, the lord of Ning'an, who has declared that it is far away, is nothing more than that. I'm afraid it's only suitable for you to have a prestige with those guards on the battlefield of your frontier, and you don't seem to know much about this royal etiquette......"
My eyes suddenly shrank, and I looked coldly at the past.
This hundred miles of Tianni was just arrogant, no bad intentions, I haven't seen it for a few years, this mouth is like smeared with bird feces, and the exit is dung.
Just now, I was thinking about not embarrassing her, and this product came to the door by itself!
I smiled lightly and said, "Princess Tianni, what are you talking about?" I'm afraid, if you don't know how to count etiquette, it's not the lord of this county, but the princess!
Since Princess Tianni has married into my Xiqi royal family, she is naturally a person of Xiqi, but in your mouth, one bite of your Xiqi, you are at the border, but Princess Guantianni doesn't seem to think of herself as a princess, in this case, why does Ning An want to give a gift. ”
"You!" Tianni's face flushed, "Concubine Ben didn't mean that." ”
