Chapter 280: People's hearts are floating and estranged (8)
"Did Yun Ci make any arrangements before he died?" Although Nie Peixiao asked this question, she also knew that she must have guessed correctly. Yun Ci can use 50 million taels of gold as bait to bring down the entire Ming clan to avenge Izuxiu, how can a mere Xia family stump him?
He will definitely make the most appropriate arrangements before he dies, so that Xiu has no worries......
Seeing that Nie Peixiao took the initiative to ask, the Heavenly Emperor also happily admitted: "You guessed right. The Xia family is a scholarly family, although it is not a good person, but it is not completely pure-hearted. Do you know what people who read the book want most? ”
"Naturally, it is a success, and the glory of the ancestors." Nie Peixiao replied without thinking.
This is what ordinary people want to read. Generations of scholars like the Xia family have already reached this step. "The Heavenly Emperor is so judged.
"Could it be that the Xia family wants the entire lintel to go down in history?" Nie Peixiao speculated again.
This time, Emperor Tianzhu nodded slowly: "You guessed right." ”
"Then what does it have to do with Yun Ci and Izuku?" Nie Peixiao was still puzzled: "Could it be that Yun Ci can make the entire Xia family famous for eternity?" No matter how brilliant and far-sighted he is, he doesn't have the ability to do it? ”
"With just one thought, you're too far away." Emperor Tianzhu no longer sold Guanzi, and explained bluntly: "When my father was alive, he wanted to compile a "Chronicle of the Scenery of Kyushu", which collected thousands of years of geography, culture, and folk customs of the north and south...... Yun Ci recommended Xia Jincheng, the son of the Xia family, to his father. ”
A scholarly family naturally hopes to write a masterpiece that will last for centuries, so as to become popular in the literary world and leave a name in history. Each of the library books compiled in the name of the royal family is a model of literature and history, which can be studied, used for reference, study, and even archaeology by future generations.
No matter who presides over the compilation of "Kyushu Scenery Chronicle", it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to become famous for future generations. The book covers a lot of content, and it takes time and effort to travel to Kyushu to do fieldwork, and it is roughly estimated that it will take about 15 years to complete. Therefore, it needs to be written by young, strong, physically strong and knowledgeable people.
Xia Jincheng is the most suitable regardless of his background, knowledge, and age, so Yun Ci used the power of the Yun family to recommend him to Emperor Tongsheng for this position under the pretext of "in-law".
This is not a confidential position, and it will not affect the current situation and politics, Emperor Tongsheng thought that it was Yun Ci favoritism, and wanted to make the Yuezhang family famous, so he sold this favor to him.
However, before the compilation of this book, little was known about the matter.
"If it weren't for the fact that this book took too long and my father couldn't finish it when he was alive, I wouldn't have known the inside story." Emperor Tianzhu closed his phoenix eyes slightly, and his tone was full of admiration: "Xia Jincheng entered the palace at the beginning of this year, and he personally told me that Yun Ci used this condition to persuade the Xia family to accept Mrs. Xiu as a righteous daughter, but Mrs. Xiu refused. It was precisely because of this matter that after Yun Ci and Xia Yanran both died, the Xia family did not ask more. ”
No matter how close her daughter is, she will marry out after all. Whether it is dead or alive is already a matter for other families, but if it can be exchanged for the future of the son-in-law, or even the glory of the entire family for generations, this account is really cost-effective.
Yun Ci used a good reputation that has been passed down through the ages to win a noble background and a flat back road for Chuxiu, this heart is too considerate and too deep! How much has he done for her in just two years since he met Xiu? How much effort did it take?
Nie Peixiao took two steps, as if he had been greatly hit. And in that gaze, the flame of anger that had been burning for a long time was finally extinguished, completely extinguished!
He lost! Lose badly!
What is his flute and a poem? In front of Izuku, it's just a disease-free moaning wind and snow! How can it be the fresh flesh and blood and foresight of Yun Ci!
Nie Peixiao's look of loss, Emperor Tianzhu was also heartbroken in his eyes, but he was afraid that he would still not give up, so he took a dose of fierce medicine again: "You arrested Mingying in Fangzhou Prison for the sake of Mrs. Xiu, Helian Qi made a special trip to Ying Yuan Palace to intercede, but I didn't see him...... Later, I heard that Xiu asked you to let people go, do you really think she is Gu Nian and Helianqi's old relationship? ”
"Brother Huang really understands me." Nie Peixiao opened her mouth in frustration, but at this point, she suddenly raised her head, half awakened and half puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Don't you understand?" Emperor Tianzhu shook his head and sighed: "Mrs. Xiu and Yun Ci, they are the same kind of people. ”
The same kind of person, or rather, because of Yun Ci, has become the same type of person as him - able to live for love, die for love, value love and righteousness for the sake of others, and be considerate to moisturize things silently.
At this point, Nie Peixiao finally realized it...... It turned out that Izuku persuaded him to let Mingying go, not because of Helianqi; It turned out that he really didn't understand the words "rare and confused"!
He really is...... Well deserved!
"Jingduo, don't be persistent, and don't let down the hard work of the queen mother." Emperor Tianzhu said in a condensed voice: "She chose this marriage for you before her death, she has her own reasons, since I have agreed to my mother, I will not regret it...... You should get married as soon as possible. ”
And this time, Nie Peixiao could no longer refuse, and she was unable to refuse: "Okay, I'll listen to the arrangement of the imperial brother." ”
The human heart is deep and unfathomable, ups and downs. And he experienced two calamities in a row - family affection and love, and he was destined to have nothing, so he could only follow his fate and move forward bravely.
There was no way back behind him. I only wish to cultivate the fields in the next life, and not regenerate in the emperor's family......
*****
Coming out of the holy study, Nie Peixiao lost her soul. As soon as he went out, he met a palace maid with a raw eye, who was the one who was sent by Emperor Tianzhu to see his heart. Nie Peixiao went out, and when the palace maid entered the door, he could still faintly hear the palace maid's reply: "Your lordship, the light-hearted girl is fine, this son is going to eat......"
Vaguely hearing Danxin's name, Nie Peixiao raised her spirit a little more, and said to Feng Fei: "You go and inquire about Danxin's residence, as well as how her errand is doing." ”
Feng Fei took the order and left, and after a while, he inquired clearly, and replied: "The light-hearted girl lives in the side hall of Pingli Palace, and the female officials in the palace live there. The eunuch, the head of the holy study, said that the light-hearted girl was quite favored, but she had been unwell recently and had not been on duty. ”
Feeling unwell? Nie Peixiao asked, "Is she sick?" ”
Feng Fei shook his head: "My father-in-law didn't say it. ”
Nie Peixiao frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go to Pingli Palace and have a look." ”
"Your Highness......" Feng Fei hesitated a little: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not quite right. ”
"What's wrong?" Nie Peixiao was frustrated, and she had no scruples when she spoke: "She is a female official, not a concubine!" You also said that Pingli Palace is the residence of female officials, so why can't you go? We don't need to avoid suspicion. ”
Feng Fei opened his mouth to stop it, and thought of what happened recently, Empress Dowager Ye died, and the master had to be forced to set up a concubine, none of which was pleasant. So he stopped, not wanting to make his master even more unhappy.
Feng Fei raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Pingli Palace, and responded, "My subordinates will go with you." ”
Nie Peixiao stopped talking and walked in the direction of Pingli Palace. But before he could take a few steps, he saw a goose-yellow figure in the distance. He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and the side prime minister asked Feng Fei: "Is that a light heart?" ”
Feng Fei looked at it intently: "It looks like it, but it's ...... Why are you so skinny? ”
As the two spoke, they took a few steps closer, and now Nie Peixiao saw it more realistically, and it was indeed indifferent.
"Didn't you say that she was quite favored? Spoiled so thin? Nie Peixiao muttered to herself in a low voice.
Feng Fei was a little embarrassed in his ears, and he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Nie Peixiao didn't say anything more, and walked towards Danxin: "Danxin." ”
Hearing someone call him, he was startled, and when he saw that it was Nie Peixiao, he felt even more empty. Her mind immediately came to mind what she had seen and heard that night, the heavy shadows in the main hall of the Palace of Mercy and Grace, and the dazzling jewels in the dressing room...... In the end, her thoughts fell on the words of the Emperor of Heaven, and the bowl of soup and medicine he personally served her.
I don't know how to face Nie Peixiao, and I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to control my mouth, and I won't pay attention to what I've missed. She bit her lip and stood still, almost helpless with nervousness.
Seeing this, Nie Peixiao was puzzled, and slowly approached and stared at her face: "You have lost a lot of weight." ”
Five words actually make me feel ashamed. She choked up and said, "Your Highness, slave maid ......"
Nie Peixiao smiled sadly: "What? Do you pity this king? ”
"No, it's not." Dan Xin hurriedly shook her head: "The slave is ......" She said this, but she stopped talking again, and asked instead: "Why are you here?" When did you come to Gyeongju? ”
"Just entered the city this morning." Nie Peixiao looked at the sky: "Aren't you inappropriate?" Where are you going to go this midday? ”
"Let's eat." He explained in a low voice: "Pingli Palace is the residence of female officials, there is no separate stove room, everyone goes to their respective palaces to eat. ”
"It's so troublesome to eat, no wonder you've lost a lot of weight now." Nie Peixiao shook her head helplessly, half joking and half tentative.
Sure enough, Dan Xin replied with some embarrassment: "No, the slave maid is...... I had an illness some time ago, so I ......"
Sick? Is it so coincidental to be sick? If you don't get sick early, you don't get sick late, but at this time? Nie Peixiao looked at the indifferent desire to speak and stopped, and wanted to ask a few questions, but it can be seen that she is so haggard now, and she is a little unbearable......
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally pressed the meaning of the inquiry, and said comfortingly: "You don't have to be so nervous, you are the person who is out of Xiu, and you are on duty by the side of the imperial brother, this king will not let you be embarrassed." ”
"Your Highness......" Hearing this, he immediately choked up, and his eyes were about to cry. For Nie Peixiao's affection for Izuxiu, but also for his thoughtfulness.
Nie Peixiao smiled helplessly: "Don't cry and show this king with a sad face, now this king wants to cry more than you." ”
Dan Xin hurriedly burst into tears and smiled, raised his sleeves and wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes: "It's the slave maid who has lost her temper, Your Highness is not strange." ”
"It's good to know." Nie Peixiao paused, and said, "The sun is too poisonous here, let's talk while walking." ”
"Okay." looked at Nie Peixiao pitifully: "The slaves and maids on the left and right are not hungry, so I will accompany you to walk around......"
