Chapter 101: First Acquaintance (1)
Jingrun has been 18 years old, the society is stable, and the country is safe and secure. Since ascending the throne, Shangguan Jun has humbly accepted advice, practiced strict economy, paid attention to the development of agriculture, industry and commerce, and pacified external troubles and stabilized the frontier. At present, the politics of the imperial court are clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The Lanyue Palace, located in the harem of Shangjing City, woke up in the noise, and the eldest princess Shangguan Yuqiong urged the maidservant to freshen up for her. Originally, both her father and mother called her Yi'er, but when she grew up, her father gave her a name. It is said that Qionghua is precious and has a unique charm, and the queen mother likes it, so she gave the word Qiong.
The palace costume was picked one after another, and Shangguan Yi'er was not very satisfied. It's either that I dislike it too fancy, or I think the color is too delicate. I usually dress up casually. At this point, her mother-in-law Yin Jingchen often blames her for being frizzy and frizzy, and she doesn't look like a girl, compared to her imperial sister Yuli is generous and dignified, and her demeanor is elegant.
The royal sister can sit honestly for a day because she shows off a flower, but she can't, she can't sit for an hour and yawns and falls asleep. The queen mother and her father also quietly discussed, complaining about their father, and today she is spoiled by him.
The father smiled and hugged the queen mother's waist, "What are you afraid of, are you worried that she can't get married?" As long as Yi'er is willing to hook her fingers, the sons and brothers of the whole world will not flock to her? The daughter of my Shangguan family doesn't have to worry about getting married, and she doesn't need to learn that. ”
The queen mother pushed him away slightly, "Every time you mention it, you have a bunch of big truths, even so, you can't do her best, you can't talk about it when you get to your mother-in-law's house." ”
"You don't, and I don't dislike it." The father's words choked the queen mother's eyes. He smiled and apologized, and secretly kissed his mother's face.
She has long been accustomed to her father and mother like this, the two of them are tired of being crooked, regardless of the occasion. The eyes that flow from each other are full of love.
Now her imperial sister Yuli is going to marry Brother Feng by decree, and the marriage between the two of them was scheduled early in the morning. Brother Feng has been training in the army all these years, and he left Pingcheng when he was more than ten years old and was thrown in such a remote place as Mobei. I can't come back a few times a year, because of Brother Feng's affairs, my aunt and Uncle Guan have a big temper.
Now, Brother Feng has returned from Mobei, and the family affairs of the two have been put on the agenda. And today, they are going to come back together to give thanks, and then they are going to hold a wedding in Pingcheng.
I haven't seen her for so many years, and her brother Feng doesn't know what has changed, and she and Sister Yulihuang haven't seen each other for more than a year. Thinking that they would arrive today, she was both expectant and anxious.
I was afraid that it would be too late, so I blamed the maid for not waking her up earlier. After cleaning up, she was finally satisfied, and she hurried to the queen's palace. This time, the queen mother came back together, and the queen mother should be happy if she hadn't seen her for a long time.
She was running and colliding head-on with a few people coming in front of her. She roared, "Yu Xian....."
Shangguan Yuxian rolled his eyes, "Sister Huang, can you be more dignified, you are always so careless." It's a little step, not like you," he said, as he began to learn from her trotting.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs laughed in a low voice, she was angry, "Don't laugh." The crowd quickly regained their looks. The little eunuch who followed Yu Xian couldn't hold back, snorted, and laughed out loud.
She stomped her foot angrily, "Shangguan Yuxian, your minions dare to bully me." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The slave is wrong, please punish the princess." ”
She snorted twice, "Princess Ben is in a good mood today, and she is not as knowledgeable as you." As he spoke, he walked away with the style of a person.
Yu Xian couldn't help but shout, "Sister Huang, it's very beautiful today." If you can walk a little slower, it will be seamless. ”
Shangguan Yuqiong listened to her brother's words and paused, "Boy, I remember today's events. ”
Yu Xian shook his head, his imperial sister is really a headache. The two siblings were two years apart, but sometimes he looked like the eldest and she was the youngest. Sometimes he also feels that it is unfair, his father blows his nose and glares at him, but he has never faced her as an imperial sister.
Sometimes he makes his father angry, and it is only easy for the imperial sister to intercede, and he once suspected that he would not be born to his father and other women, or how to look at him is not pleasing to the eye.
He quietly asked the imperial sister if he was born by someone else, and was scolded by her, "You have no conscience, you know that the queen mother almost died when she gave birth to you, if you dare to say such things again, be careful that I will accuse you in front of my father." "He's honest.
As he grew up, he also understood his father's strictness to him, and he really had high hopes. But I'm still afraid of him. I'm afraid that in the entire palace, only his imperial sister and queen mother are not afraid of their father.
When Yi'er came to the queen's palace, Yuli and the imperial aunt had already arrived. She didn't care about etiquette, so she rushed in and called "Auntie." ”
Li Yuni and Yin Jingchen were talking, when they saw a woman in a bright yellow palace dress running into her arms. She got up with a smile, "Yi'er, it's really getting more and more standard." ”
Yi'er smiled slightly, every time the imperial aunt came, she had to entertain her with her appearance. At this time, she lowered her head and listened to it, or she might be able to say a bunch of the names of her son, and she was looking to be the old man.
"These children, Yi'er is the longest, and they all pick the advantages of the two of you," Yi'er heard this, and glanced at Yuli, and the two held hands and looked at each other and smiled.
Jing Chen chatted with Li Yuni, asked her if she was doing well, and inquired about Chu Yunxi. Yi'er listened with her ears pricked up. A few people were chatting, and they heard the palace maid come to report, and the prince came to ask for peace.
Behind the prince was the tall and straight Guan Feng, and in this comparison, Yu Xian seemed even smaller. As soon as he came in, Yu Li, who was still talking to himself, turned red. Yi'er hid her face and smiled, and when she looked like a little daughter-in-law, Yuli quietly pinched her.
When he was a child, Brother Feng was a role model for several of them, and now he is not bad, I heard that in Mobei, he is also a drought general with one enemy and one hundred. Compared to his father, he was not inferior in any way.
Guan Feng is polite and courteous, not rude at all. It's not like he's just returned from the Barbarians. The imperial aunt was quite emotional when she saw him. She knew that she must have remembered Brother Feng's mother again.
Jing Chen hurriedly got up and went to help him personally, "It's so big." She sniffed, and Li Yushu could have a trace of comfort in the spirit of the sky.
"Have you seen the Imperial Grandmother?" Jing Chen ordered someone to sit and chatted with him.
"I've been there, and the old man is very tough." Guan Feng replied.
Jing Chen nodded, "The old man's concern now is the marriage between you and Yu Li, and he is still complaining that he will not hold a party in the capital." ”
"Yes, didn't you and your father do it twice, how lively." Yi'er hurriedly said.
"You just like to be lively." Yu Xian glanced at his sister. Where is there a lively master. I'm afraid I'm going to follow him to Heijo this time.
Yi'er glared at him and muttered in a low voice, I want you to take care of it.
"That's good, so that no one will talk about it." Li Yuni interjected at the right time. "Besides, the family is ready, and it is inevitable that there will be a hurry here."
Jing Chen also nodded, "It's a pity that I can't participate, let Yu Xian and Yi'er be together this time." ”
Yi'er Le was broken, if it weren't for Guan Feng's presence, she would definitely run over to kiss her mother. Yu Xian had already seen through it, glanced at her quietly, and smiled evilly. Yi'er glanced at him and quietly shifted her gaze.
Since Brother Feng came in, Yu Li's eyes never moved away from him, and Yi'er could see that it was the little girl's shyness towards her sweetheart.
"Is Xiao'er back?" Jing Chen suddenly asked Li Yuni.
Dong Xiao, Yi'er remembers him, the guy who beat her when he was a child but refused to apologize. Now when she mentions him, she is still angry. Since she was a child, no one dared to bully her, and her father was reluctant to move a finger of her, so why did he want to beat her. Just because of my aunt and his father..... But she's innocent, okay.
"My sister-in-law has already written to him, I guess I can come back, I haven't seen that child for several years." Li Yuni's eyes still showed Dong Xiao's stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat.
When Dong Xiao was ten years old, Chu Yunxi inadvertently saved an outdoor master, and after the old man recovered from his illness, Dong Xiao followed him and became a disciple in the room, but now four years have passed, and I don't know what happened to him.
Chu Yunxi can't rest assured of him, a child who didn't like to talk when he was a child, he is also worried about it when he grows up, and he doesn't smile. The mind is very sensitive, and he never misses his parents. Every time she went back to the capital, he never followed.
It was a great respect for Chu Yunxi. Although she went out, she still wrote to her every month. Let her know he's fine.
"Ying'er and Dong Yulin....." Li Yuni swallowed, no one in this palace dared to mention these two. And all of them deliberately didn't mention it.
"It's okay." Jing Chen patted Li Yuni's hand, and she couldn't do anything about it. When Shangguan Jun came back from Dali, he deliberately wanted to let the two of them out, but for some reason, in the end, he and Dong Yulin broke down, and he was angry and increased the time of imprisonment for the two to ten years.
At that time, Jing Chen was pregnant with Yu Xian, and Shangguan Jun deliberately hid it from her. The child's full moon banquet, she thought that on the festive day, he was happy, and it turned a big thing into a small matter, so she took the initiative to mention it, but she didn't want him to be mad on the spot. Since then, no one has mentioned it again.
And, Shangguan Jun's subsidy for the husband and wife, Shangguan Jun turned a blind eye and treated it as if he didn't know. So many years have passed in a flash.
Yu Xian had never seen Dong Xiao, but he could always hear the news of this child from the mouths of the elders, and he was curious about him. For him, Dong Xiao is a mysterious existence, and he can understand his unusualness from the hidden words of the elders.
"Does Yu Lin have a letter?" Jing Chen pondered and glanced at Li Yuni, still wanting to care about the child.
"Not yet." Li Yuni is light and breezy. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with her.
"Second sister-in-law....." Jing Chen was afraid that she would be sad. She smiled, "He can't come back, it's the same." Isn't there still the emperor, and besides, we have been doing very well over the years. ”
Jing Chen patted her hand and didn't continue. She still knows Li Yuni's suffering. After Li'er's death, Shangguan Han never returned to Shangjing. Where he went, no one knows. Now, Yu Li's marriage is close at hand, and Shangguan Jun sent Yu Lin to Dali to find someone in person. At this point, Li Yuni just had the intention to stop it, but she couldn't do anything about it.
