269.Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet (3)
Ah Ping, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Lan, I miss the emperor's grandfather." ”
"I thought about it too."
"You know what? I never celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with my grandfather, because he was always busy, and then I went to Ginkgo Village, and Aunt Qing would make mooncakes for me to eat on this day as a holiday. After being with you, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not a moon cake, but a vegetable cake. Eat and eat, these so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas are not as good as the soup you make. ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, this kind of compliment is a bit against my will.
But listen to him: "Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth." If it weren't for the fact that you're not in good health, you really want to eat your food. It's a rare time for you to have a drink today, this wine is not strong. ”
It's not strong, except for a little wine, there is no degree at all, and there is a little sweet and osmanthus flavor.
I couldn't help but complain: "Who made this wine?" Although the osmanthus fragrance is there, it cannot be osmanthus wine, and the wine taste is too light. ”
"I made it." Unexpectedly, Ah Ping said suddenly.
I can't help but be surprised, he made this wine? No, when did he learn to make wine? Can this level ...... As soon as he turned around, I heard him say, "Last time, I laughed and said that you were very hungry for wine, so I specially brewed it for you to drink." I have asked the doctor to monitor it, saying that a small amount of alcohol will not harm your body, but you can only drink one drink at most tonight. ”
After a long time, he meant that he deliberately made the sake taste like sweet rice wine, and he only allowed me to drink one glass.
After taking a sip, he put down the cup and tasted the taste in his mouth, and found that he didn't feel tasteless after knowing that it was the wine he made.
"How did you come up with the idea of inviting a concubine?" Ah Ping asked suddenly.
I raised my eyes and glanced at him, and said softly: "She is your mother concubine, and she was canonized as the queen mother by you, how could such a major feast be without her?" ”
"Actually, it's okay, she has escaped into the empty door, and she is no longer disturbed by the troubles of the world."
Reached out over the table and grabbed his palm, "No matter what, it's your mother, if you treat it lightly, you will be honest." In ancient times, filial piety was used to judge a person's character at every turn, and his words and deeds were seen by historians, remembered in their hearts, and written on paper, so that there would be information about historiography in later generations.
But he replied to me very willfully: "It doesn't matter, since she is sincere to the Buddha, then I won't stop her." ”
"Ah Ping, the matter has passed, and the anger can be stopped." I don't want him to get into trouble with his mother because of me, in fact, the Concubine Lu I saw tonight is very different from what I thought.
First of all, she took off her gorgeous clothes and put on a plain gray robe, and secondly, the whole person became a lot older. It is true that he has become older, there are obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, his hair is even gray, and he has lost a lot of weight.
The most important thing is that I don't know that the Buddha's heart has infected her, and when she walked into the banquet hall, she could see that her eyebrows and eyes were no longer sharp, and she became calm when she looked at people. In fact, she didn't say much from the beginning to the end of the banquet, and Mrs. Fang wanted to use her to push her, but she was unexpectedly pushed away by four or two thousand pounds, and also blocked the mouths of the old ministers.
This is also when we proposed to leave the table, Concubine Lu proposed to let Xiao Yuan'er stay by her side for a while, I didn't object, and Ah Ping didn't either, I believe he and I are in the same balance.
Ah Ping's eyes fell on the table, and he didn't move his chopsticks, he picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth. When he was done, he said, "I am indeed angry!" Everyone present that day could see that you were pregnant, and when the concubine ordered someone to do it, I didn't ask anyone else, but I had to do it. You are pregnant with my heir, shouldn't she stand up as a grandmother? At that time, she held the queen's golden seal in her hand, and the size of the harem was decided by her, as long as she blocked it strongly, who would dare to move a finger against you? ”
Time has passed and I talked about the incident again, and the dull pain is still there, but the ups and downs in my heart can be suppressed.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, the situation at that time was beyond her control, after all, the concubine was the first emperor's person, and the first emperor was still alive." Ah Ping pulled the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "She also confessed to me later, if everything in this world can have regret pills, then I want to take a hundred pills, and I will never let you be hurt in the slightest that day." ”
As the protagonist of the story, I am inevitably astringent, there are many kinds of medicines in the world, but there is no regret medicine. If there is, I want to eat one. Or the Moonlight Treasure Box of the Supreme Treasure so that I can go back to before it happened.
But after thinking about it, it seems that I will still choose this one more time.
Because I was too late to go to Ah Ping first, he hadn't retreated from the court at that time, and no one could rush to the court to say it. And in the process of my search for him, I am afraid that Orchid Garden has become a slaughtering field.
"She asked for the Buddha hall to be built." Ah Ping's words interrupted my thoughts.
This answer was contrary to what I had previously judged from the information I had learned, that he was so cruel to the concubine, and that he had no tolerance for his own mother. But I didn't think that it was Concubine Lu who proposed to build a Buddhist hall by herself, and never asked about the harem.
I asked, "Why did she make this decision?" ”
Ah Ping laughed sarcastically, "Who knows? Maybe he was suddenly summoned by the Buddha, or maybe he was ashamed. ”
Heartbroken, he meant that Concubine Lu was repenting? In turn, he recognized this possibility. That disaster was painful for me and Ah Ping, and for her, as long as she still has a conscience, it will inevitably hurt, maybe she has always treated me lightly, but what I am pregnant with is her grandson or granddaughter.
"It's all over, don't be too harsh."
Ah Ping shook his head at me, "I can't get by, I can tolerate anyone, but I can't with her." ”
In fact, he has actually tolerated it, almost everyone in that catastrophe was guilty, even the concubine was buried for the first emperor, and Concubine Lu was the least disposed of after counting. But I'm glad that he still had a shred of reason at that time, and that he wasn't wrong, and if he killed his mother because of me, he would have become a tyrant in the eyes of the world.
But psychologically speaking, he is no longer so light on Concubine Lu, I have repeatedly tried to mediate the relationship between the two mothers and sons, and the variables always come so suddenly. Ask yourself, I also have a grudge against Concubine Lu, why is my daughter-in-law so distracted from you? Even the grandson was born to you, why do you keep excluding me repeatedly? But behind the resentment, I still have reason, no matter how wrong this person is, he is also Ah Ping's mother.
He sighed lightly, unable to persuade him.
skipped this topic and turned to something else: "After you named Yuan'er the crown prince tonight, will he have to shoulder more pressure and learn more things in the future?" "I care more about this, Yuan'er is still so young that he has to be occupied by studying, which makes me feel distressed.
"He has a lot of responsibility, and he should be more stressed than the average person. And he is my eldest and only son-in-law, so he can't stay in office for long. Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and fell on the table, and then said softly: "I have a plan to spend the future, and it shouldn't be too good to make you so afraid and timid, so I have to take care of the future." ”
My heart was shocked, and I blurted out: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
He rubbed my palm soothingly, and slowly advised: "Don't react so much, I'm judging from your point of view." I have to arrange the future, even if it ......," he paused, "Even if I have a case, Yuan'er is the prince, but you can ascend the throne, you are also the queen mother, no one dares to touch you." ”
My face turned white, I never thought that Ah Ping would estimate his future, and he even judged the possible outcome from my words and deeds. And what he is doing at the moment is - to explain the aftermath!
He looked at my ugly face and reached out to stroke my face, "Okay, don't think too much. That is, it was inconvenient to tell you outside just now, and when I came back, I would like to explain to you the purpose of Liyuan'er as the prince. Maybe I'm thinking too much, should it be to make me feel at ease, or that sentence, don't tell me what will happen in the future, everything is left to fate to decide. ”
With great compassion, he made arrangements after his death in advance, but left room for me to survive. But he didn't know that the Queen Ma in history did not survive at all, but went with him. Our destinies are tied to each other, and it is not that he thinks that Yuan'er and I can be arranged as well as possible, and he accepts the arrangement of fate.
But how do I tell him this? An impulse in a dream has caused the beginning of the matter, leading to a lot of killing, and I can't afford to lose my words anymore. Now the contradiction between him and Zhu Di has finally been suppressed, I hope it will be smooth in the future, and I also hope that the wheel of history can be reversed.
In any case, what should and shouldn't happen to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has already happened, and I can do anything about it.
Later, Ah Ping drank a little too much, his cheeks were red from drunkenness, and he held my hand but kept silent, which was his consistent performance after drinking too much. As soon as someone helped me to help him to the bed, I heard a voice behind me, it should be Yuan'er who came back, and secretly wondered why he didn't come back until this time, did he go to play in Concubine Lu's Buddha Hall?
