Chapter 340: Fear
Before the official canonization, Li Tai entered the palace or temporarily lived in the Qionglin Palace, and watched the dance performance in the Qingtian Tower of the Taiji Palace, and the Yu Yu did not return to the palace to follow the young princes and princesses to keep the New Year, but led the maids to leave the table first and returned to the Qionglin Palace, and Li Tai took the place of Li Chengqian in the past this year, accompanied by Li Shimin, and discussed the celebration with the courtiers.
The palace inside the Qionglin hall is very deserted, the palace lamps inside and outside the hall are all palms, and it is even more quiet in the brightness, the light of the jade paved floor scrubbing can be seen, the palace maids on duty in the hall kneel in the hall in a regular manner, and as soon as the jade walks in, it is a neat greeting.
"Welcome the princess back to the palace."
"No courtesy." Yi Yu waved his sleeves to let them get up, followed the memory through a few curtains and porches, found the room that had long been warmed, took off the cloak and fur, found a beautiful couch covered with a thick blanket and sat down, took the hot tea offered by the palace maid and drank it, and exhaled.
"Master, the hot water has been prepared, do you want to have some supper first, or take a shower first?" The big palace maid in the Qionglin Palace is called Zhulan, who has been in the palace since she was a child, and she is not very clever in appearance, but she is still quite thoughtful when she waits for people.
Yi Yu said: "I'm tired, go make the bed, I'll wash it briefly." ”
"Yes." Zhu Lan then took the two little palace maids to retreat, Ping Tong took a cushion and sat at the feet of the jade, lifted her calf to her lap, and rubbed her leg while whispering:
"Master, forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, the matter mentioned by the noble concubine, you should discuss it with the prince first."
Pingtong was afraid that Yu Yu would be forced to enter the palace by Wei Guifei again and again like last year, but he didn't complain to the prince, and in the end he suffocated himself out of his illness and quarreled with the prince, but fortunately, their husband and wife had a deep relationship and did not lose harmony because of this incident.
Pingtong didn't know that Li Tai had given Yiyu a preventive injection half a month ago, and the two had reached a consensus on the matter of taking a concubine, and what Yuyu was uneasy about now was not that Wei Guifei invited her to see Yan Xuan, but another gossip she heard at the banquet tonight.
“... Master, master? ”
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little dizzy, you know I don't like to look at those dancing ghosts," Yi Yu rubbed his forehead, retracted the pinched hot calf, helped Pingtong to stand up, and walked around the house twice.
After a while, Zhulan came back with a few palace maids to send hot water, waited for the relics to wash, and soaked her feet with the medicinal herbs to relieve fatigue, and after she went to bed in her wide clothes, she extinguished all the incense in the house, checked the window, and left only Pingtong and Pinghui to guard the door.
When the sky was bright outside the window, the relict jade who had been tossing and turning all night woke up faintly, her brain was still dull, and she felt that there was another person around her, the stove burning in the house was extinguished at some point, and the air was a little cold, but the man who was sleeping with her on her side was constantly exuding a warm breath.
Yu Yu rolled over, his hands and feet gently wrapped around Li Tai's body, and his head was rubbed against his chest.
As soon as she turned over, Li Tai woke up, he closed his eyes, the arm behind her neck slid down to her back, tightened, and hugged her petite body, he spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse with a hangover:
"It's still early, go to bed again."
Yi Yu obediently lay on him and did not move, his palm against his tight chest and caressed it from time to time, and asked in a low voice, "It's a little cold, is it snowing outside?" ”
"Nope." As Li Tai spoke, he pulled the quilt up with his other hand and covered the back of her neck.
Yi Yu was a little disappointed, "I still think that it is snowing, so let's go to the plum garden for a walk after the congratulations." ”
The first year of the wedding entered the palace, it snowed that year, Li Tai took her to the back garden to enjoy the scenery, just like the picture scroll of the snow sea fragrant plum, which made people fascinated and unforgettable.
"There are opportunities."
"Well," Yi Yu was quiet for a while before speaking again: "Concubine Wei invited me to the palace to see Yan Xuan on the Yuan Festival last night. ”
Li Tai's eyelids moved, opened them, and lowered his head to meet her eyes that were as calm as a flat lake, and his blue eyes sank down, but he didn't answer.
Yi Yu was uncomfortable by him, for fear that he would see something, so he raised his hand to cover his eyes that could suck people in, pouted childishly, and complained half-truthfully:
"That day in the Xuanzheng Palace, the emperor called you to the back room, did he really only ask you about the war in the northwest? I thought he was willing to make you the prince, but he wanted to open it some, why didn't he ask us to have a peaceful birthday for a few days, and he was embarrassed again. ”
"Father has his considerations."
Yi Yu knew that Li Tai must have hidden something from her about the Daming Palace that day, but he didn't have something to say to him, for example, history.
The emperor's sudden change of mind made Li Tai the crown prince at his fingertips, and this unexpected surprise temporarily diluted Yiyu's concern for history, or she deliberately avoided it.
If it goes well, after Li Tai is canonized, according to the emperor's current physical condition, it is a matter of time before Li Tai inherits the throne, that is to say, becoming the crown prince, in a way, he has already succeeded.
But is it really that simple? Will established history really change from this? Will there be an abrupt addition of an emperor in the history of the Tang royal family?
Yi Yu began to feel uneasy because of a news he heard last night-
When the emperor was sick in Daming Palace, two of the palace people who were close to the sick were blessed and promoted to become talents, Lu Shuqing was among them, and the other was the daughter of a former right wing guard general Wu Shi Mi.
Because she knows too much, she is afraid, and in her heart, she is actually a little afraid of history, and what she is doing is tantamount to violating that irresistible force.
Whenever a familiar person or thing appears and happens, just like the warning given to her by history, she can't help but question in her heart, what will the future hold?
Whether it is corrected by the powerful forces of history, or is it changed by their steadfastness.
She didn't want to see Li Tai's achievements fall short, and she didn't want to see her relatives finally be burdened by her, so she became more and more vigilant about the history that was quietly approaching.
"I saw King Jin at the banquet yesterday, I remember seeing him in the palace in the spring a few years ago, he was still a child, and in a blink of an eye, he became a teenager.
Li Zhi, the ninth son of the emperor, is the only remaining son-in-law of the prince, who is well protected in the deep palace, neither seems to be favored, nor will he be forgotten.
But it was such a young man with a weak personality who finally inherited the throne from a generation of emperors.
Li Tai pulled down the palm of the relict jade, stuffed it back into the quilt, and thought about it:
"Li Zhi was personally educated by the queen before her death, and his personality is a little weak, although he is a compatriot with the prince, but the relationship is not close. After the death of Empress Changsun, his father took him to teach him for a while, but later he didn't know how he angered his father, so he lost this honor. ”
Yi Yu recalled that he saw the slender young man at the banquet yesterday, twelve or thirteen years old, with his head down, followed behind Linchuan Gaoyang and them, and went to toast several brothers.
"Does King Jin have a marriage match?" Yi Yu asked.
"Not yet, but he is old, this time in the palace Yan Xuan, the father may have a will."
"That's right," Yi Yu propped his elbows on Li Tai's chest, propped up his upper body, lowered his head and smiled at him, "Then I'll go and see this Yan Xuan, and it may not be a bad thing to have a good time." ”
After staying in the palace for three days, Yi Yu originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet Lu Shuqing, but the princess and concubines came to the door every day in Qionglin Palace, and she was overwhelmed, so she lost this opportunity.
On the second day after leaving the palace, Yu Yu pestered Li Tai and walked through the side door, and quietly went to Lu Jun to have a New Year's dinner with Lu Shi, but she obviously forgot about Li Tai's side effects, and shared a room with him, a big Buddha, and ate a meal, except for her and Han Li, I am afraid that everyone has some indigestion.
At the beginning of the seventh festival, in accordance with the custom, Yiyu followed Li Tai to Tianhe Temple to ask for divination.
Li Tai donated tens of thousands of taels of silver sesame oil money, and was regarded as a first-class guest in this temple, and they were received by the younger brother of the abbot Zhiren Master, the Wisdom Zen Master.
Yi Yu followed behind Li Tai's buttocks, watched him enter the incense, and took one from the hand of the wise Zen master with a smile on his face, and handed it over.
The old Zen master is accustomed to reciting Sanskrit sounds, and when reading the signs, the voice has a calm and pleasant rhythm:
"Zong Wei has been breaking the wind and waves, so that the sorrowful eyebrows can be unfolded, and the great talent will be used to recommend the future, a big road is as smooth as the palm, and all the givings are the general name."
Yi Yu's eyes lit up, she didn't understand Zen, but she could also hear that this was a good fortune, sure enough, Wisdom nodded, handed the signature to Li Tai, and said:
"This sign is an image of a road ahead, a big road ahead, the prince can do everything, and he should only move forward."
"Thank you, Zen Master, for your explanation."
Li Tai handed the signature to the happy Yiyu, saw that she tasted the signature beautifully, and then carefully put it away, eager to ask for the incense candle in Ah Sheng's hand, and prepared to step forward to pay homage to the solemn Buddha statue above his head, so as to ask for a sign.
Seeing that she was about to kneel on the futon, Wisdom suddenly said in a loud voice:
"If the princess asks for a signature, it is better for the old man to take a look at the palmistry for you."
Hearing this, Yi Yu looked at the futon on the ground, and felt that it was better to ask for divination without kneeling, so he handed the incense candle to Ah Sheng again, "But listen to what the Zen master said." ”
Wisdom saluted her with his palms together, "Please show the princess." ”
Yi Yu stretched out his hand, spread his palm, and held a string of Buddha beads in his hand, looked down, looked up, and said with a kind face:
"The princess is blessed with merit, as long as she is sincere, the merit will be revealed, and everything can be safe."
Listening to these two auspicious words, Yi Yu suddenly felt that just to listen to these two good words every year, and change his mood, Li Tai's huge amount of sesame oil donated to this temple is also worth it.
So she thanked Wisdom, asked for the incense candle in Ah Sheng's hand, and stepped forward to make up the incense, so she didn't see Li Tai nodding slightly to Wisdom behind her, exchanging eyes*
