Prequel: Chapter 2 Recuperation
Gan Shunhua returned home after a few days of cultivation in the palace, the news of his assassination in the palace may have already reached the ears of Zhengjun, a few days ago I came to the palace to see him, but she refused, she really didn't know if her appearance would scare him.
Speaking of Gan Shunhua's Zhengjun Yin Zijue, he is the most beautiful man in Yuecheng, with a heavenly posture like wind and rain and dew, and he is also the son-in-law of the Yin family, and he was originally ready to marry Gan Xinyi in his early years. As a result, it happened to coincide with the Lantern Festival, and the empress took advantage of the scene to let the sons of each family write poems, some wrote political ambitions through the scene, some wrote filial piety to their parents, and more praised the empress for governing the country wisely, but Yin Zijue wrote the first: "The garden flowers are smiling and the pond grass is bright in spring." It's not as good as hibiscus flowers, Chanjuan jade steps. It attracted everyone's ridicule, but Yin Zijue looked at Gan Shunhua affectionately, Gan Shunhua saw that he was so handsome, and so bold, and directly wrote a poem to confess to him. She just likes this kind of straightforward and bold person, and the meaning of hibiscus is not the meaning of Shunhua. Since then, Gan Shunhua has liked her, and it happened that the Duke of Yin asked the empress to give marriage, and promised Yin Zijue to Gan Shunhua, the empress was in a good mood that day, and she didn't blame him for being reckless, but thanked him for his heart of Akagi, so he issued a holy decree to approve the marriage. When Gan Shunhua was preparing for marriage later, he regretted that he was carried away by beauty, and he married his future brother-in-law back in a delirium. Later, on the wedding night, Gan Shunhua suddenly understood that he fell in love with Yin Zijue at first sight that morning, so he left his previous guilt and unhappiness behind.
After marriage, Gan Shunhua was so confused by him that he moved his bedroom to his side hall despite everyone's opposition, spoiling him alone, and even forgetting the side monarch Yuzhi, who married with the princess. Not only that, but the lady who doesn't go to the backyard all the year round only remembers the princess alone, and forgets all the other side gentlemen and waiters.
And Yin Zijue, who has been favored for a long time, gave birth to his eldest son Gan Mao with his wife in the second year, and the daughter cherished him more and more. Gan Shunhua walked through the back room and went straight to his bedroom. On the way, I caught a glimpse of a person wearing a single robe with a white jade fish, dragon, and jade belt tied around his waist, and a golden crown on his head, who kept looking this way, he was not handsome, but he could still see that there was a pair of yin owl eyes on his face, which hid a sharp edge, but his whole temperament was relatively weak. In this way, Gan Shunhua was very curious, so he asked the servant next to him about the identity of this person, and they said that it was Yu Fangjun, and every time His Royal Highness the Empress returned to the house, he would stand there for a while, hoping to see the princess. After speaking, she kept looking at the princess, but the princess thought for a while but never had any impression of him, so she left with a faint "oh".
"My Ah Jue, you miss me to death." Gan Shunhua excitedly ran to the inner room, pounced on Yin Zijue, and hugged him with a full embrace.
Yin Zijue may have just been taking a nap, and was woken up by her actions, raised her eyes and looked, "Ah", as if frightened, her face immediately turned pale, and she stroked Gan Shunhua's face with both hands and said, "How can this be?" ”
Gan Shunhua's face was gloomy, he let go of his hand, and looked at Yin Zijue obliquely: "Do you think I've become ugly, there is such a big scar here." Gan Shunhua gestured with his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I don't blame you." ”
"No, wife, Ah Jue doesn't feel ugly, no matter what becomes of his wife, Ah Jue's heart for his wife will not change." Yin Zijue smiled softly, and then said as if he thought of something: "I'll ask the master of Linglong Pavilion to make a gilded mask and wear it on my face, won't this scar be covered?" Perhaps, it adds a mystical beauty? ”
"Really?" Gan Shunhua kept touching the wound on his face, incredulous.
"Ah Jue will not lie to his wife." Yin Zijue took her hand, frowned, and analyzed: "The mother queen has always loved beauty, and beautiful people can generally get her favor, you know this." Besides, you won't be laughed at by people outside. It's always good to cover it up. ”
"Well, you're still thoughtful." Gan Shunhua's head rested on Yin Zijue's shoulder, and said with his eyes closed.
Gan Shunhua was in a particularly bad mood today, so angry that she casually broke a vase, which was still her favorite.
The assassin's knife was grazed across his face, and Gan Shunhua's body was not damaged much. In addition, there have been more and more official affairs in recent days, and the empress sent an edict to her to go to the court today. Gan Shunhua was originally unwilling, because her gilded mask was not ready, but she had to leave.
Today, in the court, Lin Yushi participated in her book, saying that the salt merchants in Jiangnan were protected by the princess and had monopolized the salt transportation in that area. Buying salt from the official family at a low price, and selling it at a high price, making huge profits, and only half of the tax was paid, all under the cover of bluffing and false accounts, and it took two years before there was a mistake. This Lin Yushi had to be reported.
As a result, the empress was furious and scolded Gan Shunhua in the court, asking her to go back to reflect on it, solve the matter and then receive the punishment.
Gan Shunhua felt that the mother mother had an accident on purpose and poured her anger on her. She was really aggrieved.
Luo Shi, a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, once saved Xiao Guogong, the cousin of the current empress. Because Luo Shi has not done anything for many years, she responded to Xiao Guo's official report and inherited a son from the Xiao family, named Luo Min. This Luo Min grew up and accepted the Luo family's private salt industry, and the means were even more powerful, plus he was the nephew of the empress today, and the local officials knew about it, so he couldn't help but give him some convenience, he became more and more presumptuous, and even dared to resell the salt of the official family, originally she knew about it, and the empress also knew, but her sister was even more distressed and pampered because Luo Min left home, and often went to see him, and the empress couldn't bear to be sad and turned a blind eye, and she also acquiesced. But this Luo Min is really not like words, and it is nothing to secretly do it in private, but it is blatantly reselling, so that the people in the Jiangnan area know about it, since he also found an excuse that he approved, and ruined the reputation of his prince, Lin Yushi had to not report it under pressure, and by the way, he detained this basin on the princess.
Could it be this scar? Gan Shunhua couldn't help but raise his head to caress the wound that was about to scab, and felt a sense of distress in his heart.
"Wife-" A long and gentle voice came, Gan Shunhua looked up, and saw Yin Zijue wearing a moon-white robe, only a little hair tied with a ribbon, and his eyes were full of tenderness, and he was walking towards Gan Shunhua with a plate.
"Why don't you stop, these things can be done by the next person." Gan Shunhua's heart moved, walked over and took the plate from Yin Zijue's hand, and sat down in his arms.
"Yesterday, my wife couldn't sleep, and today I went to the court, and I was worried about my wife's body." Yin Zijue said as if she was shy, suddenly picked up Gan Shunhua's face, looked at it worriedly, and said distressedly: "This wound is about to scab over, the wife has to listen to Ah Jue's words, don't eat Jiazi spicy fish these days, eat more light ones." By the way, take more rest. ”
Gan Shunhua was greatly moved, hugged Yin Zijue directly, and said, "Ah Jue, the greatest luck in my life is to marry you." ”
Yin Zijue stroked Gan Shunhua's hair, suddenly remembered something, and brought over the lily lotus seed soup that had not yet cooled down that had just been put aside: "The wife didn't sleep yesterday, this lily lotus seed soup has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the nerves." I simmered it slowly over low heat this morning, the taste is just right, the fragrance is pure and soft and glutinous, and my wife tastes it. ”
Yin Zijue looked at her dotingly, feeding spoonful by spoonful, the room was full of sweet taste, and mixed with a little fragrance of green onions.
"Lady, King Noan is here." The door of the temple was suddenly pushed open. Kim's mother came in to report. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately lowered his head in amusement and retreated stupidly.
Mother Jin is the housekeeper mother of the princess's mansion, when she was young, she was the maidservant who served the queen in the palace, and when she was old, she was given by the empress to serve the princess in the princess's mansion, and she was the concubine's confidant, and only she dared to enter and exit freely in the various rooms of the princess's mansion. This time disturbed the "good thing" of the princess, and Jin's mother felt that even if the princess did not punish her, she would snub her for several days. Who in this mansion doesn't know that this lady is the most favored princess, and she has never let other servants serve her.
"Sister, sister......" When Gan Xinyi stepped into the back room, he saw Gan Shunhua snuggling up to Yin Zijue's body like a boneless, and Yin Zijue looked at her affectionately and was feeding her porridge.
This face! Gan Xinyi sneered in his heart, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Soon recovered, smiling and groaning.
Gan Shunhua's face turned red when he heard this, and he immediately let go of the hand on Yin Zijue's shoulder and sat upright.
"Look at me, it's not the right time." Gan Xinyi smiled shyly and saluted Gan Shunhua.
"Sang'er, sit down" Gan Shunhua waved his hand, which was considered a waiver, and then ordered someone to move the futon and let her sit on the left side.
"Go to the kitchen to see if the new chicken soup is ready, go first." Yin Zijue stood up and saluted. Then he turned around and walked out of Lu Mingxuan.
"Oh, the princess is so handsome and gentle, and understanding, is it any wonder that my sister spoils him alone? It seems that the rumors are true! Gan Xinyi watched Yin Zijue walk away and said with envy
"Sister, I..." Gan Shunhua was stunned, Yin Zijue was originally going to give it to Gan Xinyi, originally thought that the two did not have much intersection before, when the mother gave Yin Zijue to herself, she also thought that she should not destroy other people's feelings, but today, Gan Xinyi's remarks are like a taste between lovers? Could it be...
"Okay, sister, don't be surprised, sister is just envious. Speaking of which, my sister came to visit my sister's injury today? ”
"It should scab over in a few days, but it's still a little painful these days."
"It's all my fault, and my sister is injured, because of this, I can't sleep well for a few days." Gan Xinyi looked remorseful, and his worried eyes kept sweeping Gan Shunhua up and down.
"Qing'er." Gan Xinyi called to the door, and then came in a girl who was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old, white and pure in life, and her appearance was also thoughtful, a pure and pure Bodhisattva, only embedded with a white and warm jade bead on it.
