Chapter 123: The Queen Mother mourns her family
"What is this?" Qing Ruifan asked as he opened the box. Inside are two daggers. The dagger is very narrow, and there can be two in a one-foot-square box, which makes Qing Ruifan have to marvel at the exquisiteness of the workmanship. The blade of the dagger was simple, decorated with nothing, and did not at all resemble the aristocratic atmosphere that prevailed at the moment.
may be because of the war in Beicheng, during this period of Lin'an, the nobles have developed the habit of carrying one or two daggers with them. But after all, there is nothing to do, the high-ranking officials and princes are more of a dagger as a decoration, the blade is always accompanied by a variety of patterns, and there are some things that do not know what pattern is on it, every time there is a banquet, the nobles will take out their daggers, pass each other to see, and compete.
These two daggers are very simple styles, but the handle is wrapped in snakeskin, tightly wrapped around and around, although it is a rugged feel to the touch, but it is very comfortable to hold in the hand.
"The next time you're attacked, you'll have the tools." Gu Lingge did not explain that these two daggers were seen in Beicheng, but the production was made by the best craftsmen in the entire military camp, and Gu Lingge personally designed them. The snakes in Beicheng are not easy to catch, especially in winter, let alone made into daggers, but they are finally formed, and they can be sent out in time.
"Thank you, Zhi." Qing Ruifan held the box in his hand and suddenly felt extremely precious. Gu Lingge has always been a person who thinks of what is something, and now he actually thinks of bringing him something, it is as unbelievable as the red rain in the world.
Gu Lingge hummed, and then stopped making a sound. Qing Ruifan took the dagger and thought about trying. Lifting the curtain beside the bed, he drew his unscabbarded dagger and slashed at it lightly—but nothing. The bed curtain didn't react anything. "Huh?" This is not the same as the imaginary weapon that sharpens iron like clay.
"It's not for you to play with." Gu Lingge glanced at Qing Ruifan's puzzled look, and his face was a little disgusted. This knife is not used for this. Or maybe it's not time to use it yet. Gu Lingge had already put a lot of effort into designing this sword, where could it be so simple that it could be lifted?
"How is that going to be used?" Qing Ruifan looked curious, and his eyes were as excited as seeing a baby, and he knew that Gu Lingge's things had never been simple. But Gu Lingge didn't give an explanation, just put the dagger on the palm of his hand and weighed it, then looked around, and shot towards the pillar with a "boom".
This so-called sharp weapon that sharpens iron like clay is really useful when it comes to mahogany stakes. Gu Lingge obviously didn't do anything, just threw it out, and the dagger was firmly inserted into the stake, and there was no loose "buzz" at all. The best materials, even the well-informed Qing Ruifan has to admit that this is a rare good treasure.
"There is a mechanism on the dagger." It made sense that Gu Lingge didn't design the scabbard at that time, because it was too cumbersome, originally this was a kind of sword, what he wanted was that everything was the same inside and outside so that it could not be conspicuous and could be hidden in his arms.
In a general sense, Huaijian has more or less the nature of a soft sword, but Gu Lingge's is not, it only has a blunt difference, and there is no soft quality. Gu Lingge took the other dagger that was still in the box, and pressed a small bulge on the handle of the snakeskin knife: "This is the mechanism." If you don't usually use it, it's bulging here, and when you want to use it, press it, and it's naturally a dagger. ”
When Gu Lingge first designed it, he thought carefully about whether the bulge should be closed or open. Later, after thinking about Qing Ruifan's brain, he finally chose the simplest one. Anyway, it's also used in the most critical time, and I don't bother to do those twists and turns.
"That's right." Qing Ruifan also stood up, tore off the dagger from the pillar with a little force, took it back into the brocade box, and then began to ask Gu Lingge if the two daggers had names. Gu Lingge is not such a troublesome person. Qing Ruifan was not originally, but this was something that Gu Lingge finally gave him, and he still wanted to express his commemoration. It's a child's style, but it's sincere.
"And what do you think would be a better name?" Qing Ruifan looked at Gu Lingge and shook his head, he didn't think of any good names, so he still looked at Gu Lingge. Gu Lingge didn't have anything good to say, shook his head, and still planned to give up. "It has to be a name, it's pretty much the same."
Qing Ruifan had no choice but to give up in the end. That night, Qing Ruifan went back to Yongyuan Hall alone, and Gu Lingge slept soundly on the bed. There was a lot of wind and snow outside, and both of them were satisfied.
Following.
"The Queen Mother, it's not a good thing for the emperor to be so wasted about the government." Early in the morning, the snow on the palace walls was still full. The tall pine trees outside the door of Ci'an Hall are not much better. When the quiet sound sounded, it was just as the snow was crushing the pine branches and sliding down, and the two sounds complemented each other perfectly.
The Queen Mother had just made a morning prayer, and now she took a scripture book and looked at it in front of the table in the warm sunshine. In the winter in the north, even if the sun is big, it often can't bring out any warmth, but for the queen mother, it can be regarded as a future.
It's not her niece who has been getting better than her own who came to visit her today, I heard that Wang Jingchen went to find Gu Lingge last night, and then when she went back, she received a lot of gifts, and she didn't know what she did. When the news reached the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother just closed her eyes, then looked at Duanxia and said "Dust and sand".
Early this morning, Duanxia had already asked the Queen Mother to summon Concubine Chen, and she saw Concubine Wan Niangniang before she walked out of Ci'an Hall. Hiding the surprise in her heart, she still led Yang Li'er to the main hall of the Queen Mother. Yang Li'er is not a lot of words, she saw Duanxia's appearance, but she didn't say anything except mildness or mildness on her face.
After entering the main hall, he greeted him in a proper manner, and then said the above sentence. The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, with a consistent smile on the corner of her mouth, and she really couldn't see what she was thinking. Yang Li'er didn't really come here just to say goodbye.
The first proposal of the concubine was a combination of these two people. At that time, the queen mother only mentioned a little that the queen was sick, and the whole palace only watched the noble concubines in her room be slightly favored, and the concubines of Xiang were also people who were used to not doing anything and only went to Gu Lingge's side, if these two concubines in the main palace didn't do anything, I was afraid that they would have nothing to do when the queen died.
Then Yang Li'er, who was active, used her own way to talk about the setting of the concubine in the court, and finally successfully evolved into such a big event, and it was also like this, everything seemed to become confusing, but for the two people who had never believed that Gu Lingge was really sick, it was also a good thing to be able to blow Gu Lingge out, at least now both sides are on the bright side, and it is easier to deal with.
"What's going on again?" The Queen Mother leaned back, closed her eyes slightly, and her voice was full of traces of time.
"Although the queen is the master of the harem, it is the ancestral training that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is not in accordance with the rules for the mother to stand in the court, and she also reprimands the ministers and interferes in state affairs in the Jinluan Palace." Yang Li'er was careful when she said every word.
But the Queen Mother was neither salty nor indifferent, but what she said was to the point: "You and I are not the first day to enter the palace, what should I say, how to say that I still need to be taught by the mourning family?" The Queen Mother has heard enough of overly formal sentences for so many years, and prefers to say what is what.
"The concubine knows her mistake." Yang Li'er hurriedly stood up and saluted. There was snow on the ground, and the Queen Mother didn't really let her kneel, so Duan Xia helped her down and let her sit down again.
"The mourning family you want to talk about roughly knows, but you should also understand that Murong Zhi has always won the emperor's heart, and it is better to think clearly about what you want to do." The Queen Mother did not give a detailed solution, but replied lightly. She's past the time to get her hands dirty, and a lot of times she just has to look at the results.
"The concubine understands. It's just that I still think that the Queen Mother can show the way to the concubines. Speaking of this, Yang Li'er no longer expects anything, anyway, she has to do it herself. It's just the usual compliment.
"Whatever you think, just do it." Of course, the Queen Mother understood what Yang Li'er wanted. Anyway, even if she turned over the sky, she was just ruined. There is a lack of everything in this palace, but there is no shortage of people, if something really happens to Concubine Wan, it is good, at least she can pave the way for her already stupid niece.
"Yes, the concubine obeys the order." Yang Li'er smiled like a red glow when she got this sentence, and the Queen Mother still didn't open her eyes, enjoying the temperature of the sun shining on her body, which meant that her body and mind were comfortable. Seeing this, Yang Li'er didn't bother too much, said to Duanxia, and gently retreated.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Wan is gone." Duanxia knew that the Queen Mother was not actually asleep. There was a softness in his voice. The sun is really warm now, and it makes people feel that there is nothing to hide, no matter what the bad thing is, it will slowly get better in the end, no matter what it is, it will be better.
"Yes." The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, then stretched out her left hand with golden armor, put it in front of her eyes, looked at the wrinkles on her hands, and although she didn't want to admit it, she still had to say that she was old.
Time is always unforgiving, and it is the only fair thing in this world.
"Duanxia, do you think that if the first emperor is here, will he praise the beautiful family?" Asked softly. She didn't ask for an answer, but her eyes began to slowly blur. Time has passed slowly, so many years. Back then, she was the first beauty of Han and Qin that Qing Haoxuan had personally praised. Now, the beauty is twilight, and the hero is old
The daylight was still white, but it was a little harsh.
