Chapter 709 - Candy for You
The carriage hurried by, and the streets and alleys of the capital city had changed a lot in his eyes, but Yuan Xi still remembered the son who paid for the wontons for him.
Two years have passed like this, and she may have long been accustomed to the days without blessings, so that she can live a peaceful and comfortable life.
Her sky has not fallen, her hopes have not been shattered, and sometimes Yuan Xi will be in a trance, what is the blessing to herself.
Is it just the encounter on New Year's Day that year?
The emperor's guard of honor came to the outskirts of the city, there are open crop fields, the two queen mothers are not the first time to plough the ceremony, they are people with brocade clothes and jade food, they did not hesitate to step into the mud, stepping on the soft and thick land, and they are all smiling.
Ploughing the soil, sowing seeds and watering, so busy that the February day was hot and sweaty.
After the ceremony, Yuan Xi and the Queen Mother went to the field to rest and drink tea, and several ministers embraced Xuanye, took Fuquan together, and went to the river farther away to check the flood control embankment, and when they returned, they returned to the palace together.
The Queen Mother looked at the open field and said: "Come out for a walk, the mood is good, but I am just worried about the emperor's mother, I don't know if she is better in the cold." ”
Yuan Xi said: "The imperial doctor said, it's good to rest for a few days, it must be that too many people come to congratulate in the first month, and Eniang is tired." ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "Huang Eniang has always disliked this kind of thing, but the two of us can't completely share her worries, in a few years, if we can take charge alone, Eniang will be more relaxed." At that time, Xuan Ye also grew up, whether it was the affairs of the court or the sophistication of people, Eniang could let go of it. ”
Yuan Xi bowed: "Yes, E-Niang has been worried about it all her life." ”
As he spoke, he saw Pomegranate walking this way with a smile on his face, and when he came to Yuan Xi and said, "Queen Mother, guess whose land is this land?" ”
I saw a white-haired old man appear from behind Yuan Xi, knelt down and kowtowed directly in the mud, and asked the two queen mothers for peace.
The Queen Mother entered the palace late, she didn't see it or recognize it, Yuan Xi remembered it very clearly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the manager of Wuya, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are very tough." ”
"Thanks to the Empress Dowager, thanks to the blessings of the Empress Dowager and the emperor." Eshen hugged his fists and said, "The minions never expected that the adults of the Ministry of Rites would choose the land of the minions." ”
"This whole piece of land belongs to your family?" The Queen Mother asked, "Ouch, that's a big landlord." ”
Eshen hurriedly said: "No, no, if you go back to the queen mother, it will be around here, and it will be rewarded by the emperor when the slave was on an errand in the imperial dining room." ”
Yuan Xi explained to the Queen Mother, saying that the dishes made by the head of Wuya for a while were very good for Eniang's appetite, and Fu Linyi was happy, probably rewarding a few pieces of land, but later the Thirteen Yamen were established, and Wuya Eshen was dismissed.
Eshen said: "It's because the slave is old, and his sense of taste and smell is not good, so he really can't afford to serve his master anymore." ”
When Yuan Xi saw him say this, he knew that he was a measured person, so he didn't mention it anymore, and only asked him if he was in good health and what the harvest of these plots of land had in previous years.
Wu Ya's family is dressed in the yellow flag, and his son has also entered the Jiumen patrol camp, and the family eats the imperial court, and these pieces of land are just planting some fresh vegetables and vegetables for their own food.
The Queen Mother said happily: "Go back and send the vegetables grown by me and the Queen Mother to the palace, when will you be able to eat them?" ”
Eshen answered one by one, but Yuanxi felt a little cold when he sat down, so he said: "Let's go for a walk too, it's hard to come out, sit dry, and my back is cold." ”
The Queen Mother said: "I'm too lazy to move, you go, I'll wait here for Xuan Ye to come back." ”
Yuan Xi was not reluctant, ordered the ginseng and pomegranate to stay, accompanied the queen mother to talk to relieve boredom, and took a few little palace maids and eunuchs to the far side of the ridge.
The palace people were cautious, lest the Queen Mother step on cow dung or tripped over stones, Yuan Xi said: "Don't walk around, trample on the crops." ”
But unconsciously, she walked away, Yuan Xi stood still, looking at the mountains in the distance, she didn't remember if Fulin said that he would take her out of the distance.
But she remembered that Sister Jiayin said that the emperor had mentioned that he wanted to travel with her to the mountains and rivers.
She will always think of Fulin, always can't help it, will miss him, it is clear that it can't bring the slightest comfort and warmth, this sadness and pain, the pain that tugs at the heart, but it seems to be addicted, and she can't quit.
Fortunately, she let it go, and she was already determined to accompany Xuan Ye to grow up, and in the future, she would also help Xuan Ye take care of the children and live a life of teasing her grandson, she had already decided that there was no love in her life.
There was a commotion in the distance, and the cry of the doll, Yuan Xi turned to look, and saw a guard carrying the little doll and walking out.
There are guards all around here, and ordinary people can't get in at all, so they should be on guard, but it's still a child, looking at the three or four years old, it's too rude.
"Bring the kid here." Yuan Xi instructed the people around him, "Tell them not to be heavy-handed, and break the child's arms." ”
Xiao Quanzi hurriedly ran and brought back a frightened little girl, wearing a red cotton jacket and wrapped tightly all over her body, she was a child of a decent family.
"What's your name, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for grandpa."
"Who is your grandfather?"
"Grandpa...... It's grandpa......"
Yuan Xi took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears of the doll, she was a beautiful little girl, and she was liked.
She asked softly, "How old is it, what is your name?" ”
The little girl stretched out her chubby fingers: "Three years old." But before he could say what his name was, he immediately cried again, "I'm looking for grandpa......"
Yuan Xi asked the people around him, "Did you bring anything to eat?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and a little palace maid handed over a bag of pickled plums, which was supposed to prevent the Queen Mother from getting motion sickness.
"Eat a plum and stop crying." Yuan Xi handed the plum to the doll, "I asked the eldest brother of the guard to lead you to wait there, and grandpa will come back soon." ”
The little doll looked at the plum, twitched it one by one, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa said that you can't take other people's food." ”
Yuan Xi smiled, the child's eyes stared at Mei Zi and didn't move, and his little mouth was also pursed and sipped, and he was greedy.
She wrapped the plums, stuffed them into her arms, and said, "Wait until I find my grandfather, ask him if he can eat it, and grandpa has agreed, will you eat it again?" ”
"Okay." The little girl carried the plum, thought about it, took out the paper bag from the small pocket she carried, and untied the three pieces of rock candy lying inside.
She picked and picked, pinched the largest piece with her little finger and handed it to Yuan Xi: "Give you candy." ”
The palace maids hurriedly gathered around and said, "Queen Mother, you can't eat it......"
Yuan Xi didn't pay attention to it, leaned up and bit the candy cube directly, the little doll was stunned, she probably thought that the adults would be polite, and then she didn't eat it.
In the beautiful eyes, there is some disappointment, and I try to endure it, which is very cute.
Yuan Xi broke off the sugar that had not yet been eaten in his mouth and sent it back to the child's mouth, probably his own thing, the little doll opened her mouth without hesitation, the disappointment in her eyes disappeared suddenly, and she smiled crookedly: "It's sweet." ”
"Tell the guards, don't embarrass the child, just wait here, the family will definitely come to find it." Yuan Xi got up and ordered, and saw Xuan Ye and his party coming back in the distance.
"They'll take you to Grandpa, good boy, don't be afraid." Yuan Xi couldn't delay Xuan Ye's trip, his son still had a lot of things to do when he returned to the palace, and with sugar in his mouth, he left with the palace people.
The ploughing ceremony went very smoothly, Xuan Ye and Fuquan also gained a lot from going to see the flood control embankment, and on the return trip, the excited little emperor had a lot to say to his mother, and he insisted on being with his mother.
Yuan Xi couldn't resist him, but he didn't want to sit in the emperor's chariot, so he let Xuan Ye follow him in a carriage.
When the team returned to the palace, the roads in Beijing were still under martial law, and the emperor's imperial chariot was driving in front as usual, but Xuan Ye was actually beside Eniang.
The sugar in Yuan Xi's mouth gradually ran out, and before Xuan Ye's words were finished, Yuan Xi was disgusted with his son's noise, the carriage shook violently, and there was a mess of shouting outside.
Before the mother and son came back to their senses, the carriage was dragged and ran violently for a while, and then the sky swirled, the body overturned, Yuan Xi held Xuan Ye and fell several times, and finally, the carriage stopped shaking.
I could only hear shouting and killing outside, and some people came to pull the carriage and shouted: "Queen Mother? Emperor? How are you doing? ”
"E-niang?" Xuan Ye was frightened and moved gently in his mother's arms.
"E-Niang is fine, what about you?" Yuan Xi opened his arms lightly and asked with difficulty, "Xuan Ye, did the fall hurt?" ”
"I don't, but ......" Xuan Ye trembled, he raised his hand, his hands were full of blood, he was not injured, the one who was injured was his mother.
When the guards and eunuchs rescued them from the overturned carriage, Yuan Xi saw Xuan Ye's imperial chariot, pierced like a hedgehog by a sharp arrow shot out of nowhere. It's unimaginable that Xuan Ye is in the Imperial Palace......
But she didn't have the strength to think about it, and soon her eyes darkened, and she didn't know anything.
The escort team soon arrived, fighting in the dark, and the streets were full of blood, but the other party's forces were not strong, and they seemed to be desperate and rushed to the emperor.
But who would have thought that the emperor was not in the imperial palace, but even more so under this well-planned assassination, he retreated.
However, the Queen Mother, who was frightened by the horse's galloping and was seriously injured in the carriage she had turned over, was thrust into the back of her waist and sent back to the palace, the stretcher and the person carrying the Queen Mother were stained with blood, and a bloody path flowed in the Forbidden City.
The imperial doctors tried their best to save the situation, and the queen mother was temporarily out of danger, but she lost too much blood and was unconscious, and the imperial doctors knelt on the ground and cried to Yu'er: "The ministers and other crimes deserve death, and the queen mother's life depends on whether God can be gracious." ”
Yu'er helped Su Mala and stood straight in front of the door, her hand almost scratching Su Mala's skin: "Can't be saved, don't live anymore!" ”
