After the middle of April, the peony flowering period in Chang'an has come to an end, but the summer flowers of pomegranates, roses and peonies have been warmly opened, and the weather has not yet warmed up, but the imperial palace, gardens, temples and private courtyards of the imperial capital have been blooming with the bright summer flames. The atmosphere of many noble eunuchs in Chang'an also has a summer heat - they are all waiting for the reaction of Daming Palace.

However, after the meeting, there was no news about the election of the crown prince in the palace.

All the families with the surname A are stable, this is in their calculations, and it is also what they expected - the candidate for the crown prince will never be decided so easily: it depends on it.

This is what the emperor is watching, and it is also the family watching.

But the palace is so impatient, as if there is no such thing as the prince's election of the crown prince at all, and it is also a small warning to the family's "mutual hindrance" at the flower party - of course, this is a self-evident thing.

But not all noble families understand the bottom of this, just like the family surnamed B is not prominent, the family surnamed C is more yuan from the royal family, and there are many poor families, so it is not clear that the emperor and the family have a small confrontation in the matter of the election of the prince.

It was April 27 soon after the middle of the month, and there were no major events inside and outside, or great events going on all the time, such as the war with Euroton and the Great Eclipse, and there was no fluctuation on this day; It's just that for the emperor's brothers and sisters, this day is a little special.

Because the queen made a post two days earlier, inviting the wives of the emperor's brothers, the princes and princesses, and the emperor's sisters, the eldest princesses, whether they are married or married, to go to the Fangshao Garden of Xingqing Palace on the 27th to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, and get together.

The princesses and princesses were not surprised to receive the post, because if there is no accident on the twenty-seventh day of each month, it is the day of the royal aunt and sister-in-law's gathering, drinking tea and enjoying flowers, visiting the garden, rowing, etc., playing, playing, chatting, this is the queen's tea party formed since Empress Muzong, which is not only to maintain the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law, but also to get together to have fun; Because this tea party is close to the Dragon Boat Festival, it is necessary to agree on the royal activities of this year's Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to the official routine dragon boat bidding, zongzi shooting, water polo matches and other activities, the royal family also has its own activities, which is coordinated by the queen, assisted by the princesses and princesses. Of course, princesses with jobs such as the eldest princess of Jiaguo do not participate in this kind of chatting tea party, and only the princesses of the Tang Dynasty who are more leisurely and like to have fun will be keen to plan these activities, and they will never get tired of it, and they are the main force to put forward new interesting ideas every year.

This tea party is in the flower field, a long and narrow glass-roofed flower viewing gallery is built in the flower field, sitting in the corridor, both sides are open, the line of sight is broad, at a glance a long piece of delicate peony flowers, a bunch of variety, all kinds of blooms, one by one are as big as the mouth of the bowl, there is the richness of the peony, there is also the elegance of the hibiscus, the eldest princess of Anfu likes the pink smoked pavilion the most, the layers of petals are full of a red wave that seems to be rippling, rippling with charming light pink rouge, bright and charming, and then praised the poem: "The gorgeous brocade is not as good, and the peach is not as good as the peach." The eldest princess of Shanggu, who was sitting opposite her, continued: "Who is the root of the knot, the appreciation period is in me." He also threw a wink at his eldest sister.

The princesses and princesses laughed breathlessly, and Queen Cui couldn't hold back her laughter, stretched out her finger and said, "It's just that you push it every time." The eldest princess of Shanggu shook the silk fan and said with a smile: "I said this on behalf of Sister Su. ”

Sister Su is Su Shaowei.

The queen and the princesses laughed again.

The eldest princess of Anfu couldn't help but say happily: "When I was young, I gave me hibiscus, which was just a stick of powder-later I thought about it, at least let her hold it full." ”

"Giggles!" Empress Cui and the eldest princess of the princesses laughed again, and their snow-white breasts trembled, more colorful than the peonies blooming on both sides.

The eldest princess of Shanggu said: "Oh, my sister, in people's poems, 'give it peony' is a gift, how can anyone hold it, then it is not elegant, but stupid." ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone was happy again, and Princess Anfu also smiled straight away.

In the excellent atmosphere, the eldest princess of Anfu smiled at the queen and said, "I don't know who will be blessed in the future, and Zhaohua will give him a spoonful of medicine." ”

The princesses and the eldest princess were stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

"Poems" said "Weishi and women, Yi Qi scorned each other, and gave them peony", which is to say that young men express their feelings of farewell and admiration, because "medicine" and "covenant" are homophonic, and giving peony is an appointment, and the young men and women of the Tang Dynasty are more unrestrained, and they have to compose poems when giving peonies, and confess directly. The princesses and princesses couldn't help but imagine the appearance of the crown prince Li Yuzhen's thin and cool face chanting love poems...... It's unimaginable.

Princess Anfu is the eldest sister of the emperor, the emperor is only one year apart, the relationship in the palace is good when she was young, to the emperor is the prince, the eldest princess Anfu went out of the palace to build a mansion, and until the emperor ascended the throne to the present, the relationship between brother and sister has been good for more than 30 years, and the corresponding relationship between Princess Anfu and Queen Cui has always been good. Among the princesses and princesses here, only Princess Anfu dared to ask like this, and she would not be suspicious of the emperor, and she would find out which family she had inherited.

But this joke is not said casually.

The prince's marriage, which family in the imperial capital doesn't care?

The dignitaries of the whole Datang are concerned!

Because of the close relationship between Princess Anfu and the emperor, her hibiscus garden has not been quiet for a while, and the visiting relatives and friends are one after another. The eldest princess Anfu was also annoyed, so she simply took advantage of today's "chat" and put it out for the queen's sister-in-law. Anyway, she is open-minded, whether the prince chooses the secretary or not, whether she likes the son of the family has nothing to do with her.

Queen Cui laughed, today's tea party, she is also going to hand over a message.

Picked up the black tea cup and took a sip unhurriedly, his white fingers caressed the cinnabar peony on the tea cup, and said with a little disgust and a smile to his daughter: "Zhaohua's temperament, what an anxious parent, he used to be devoted to the way of the sword, and after being given the important task of the society by the emperor and the sage, he fell on state affairs, and now Yanbei and Anxi are still at war." The saint and I watched it, and this can't just take care of state affairs. The concubines and sisters-in-law all smiled and said yes, and the queen said, "If she thinks about it herself, I'm afraid that the peony flowers will bloom and fall for an unknown number of seasons." She can come slowly, but the saint and I can't wait. Good flowers know the season, then they should bloom in spring. ”

The princesses and the eldest princess thought these words in their hearts, and they all responded with a smile in their mouths: "What the imperial sister-in-law said is true." ”

The queen's words soon spread.

……

"In the queen's words, she expressed several meanings."

Pei Chang, the Duke of Weiguo, stretched out his legs and sat on the Hunan bamboo recliner, holding a jade bone thin silk fan in his right hand, shaking it slowly, and said to Pei Heng, the son of the world:

"One shows that the prince has not yet liked who is the prince, and each family has a chance. Oh, this is to cause everyone to fight. ”

Pei Heng nodded.

"Second, it shows that the prince is not in a hurry to choose the prince. This is also, they are all Great Perfection, and they are one step away from that realm, and state affairs and promotions are much more important than weddings. Moreover, according to the grandmaster, it is not too late to become a biological child in thirty or forty years. According to the prince's own wishes, there should be no plans to marry early. ”

"That's what my father said."

Pei Heng said: "If the prince means that it will be a few more years, our Pei family is not unable to plan." ”

There is no suitable son now, but it may not be in the future, Pei Yongzhi, the sister-in-law of the seventh brother Pei Ying, is nine years old, sensitive and quick-thinking, and a little more calm and steady than children of the same age.

Pei Chang said of the third: "The prince can wait for ten or eight years before thinking about it, but the saint and the queen can't wait." The jade bone fan shook and sighed, "The saint is over fifty or six this year. ”

With the body and bones of the saint born with a disease, he has been quietly recuperating for many years, and he is already "long-lived" to live to this age, and he can't wait for the prince to look at it slowly.

"Three years and four years at most." Wei Guogong pinched the handle of the fan and said.

Pei Heng frowned, if it was only three or four years, then Yongzhi would only be twelve or three years old, "I originally thought that Ah Ying's eldest might be able to compete, if it is based on my father's words, we will have to think differently." ”

Which one is chosen, and the impact on their Pei family will not be too great?

Pei Chang half-closed his eyes, the jade handle lightly touched the armrest of the bamboo chair, and paused three times and said: "Our Hedong Pei, now this position is now," the third in the family, "Lanling Xiao, this exclusion," Xiao is unlikely to run for the crown prince, "Second, it is Qinghe Cui." You have to think about whether our Pei family can take a step forward, or continue to be stable in this position. ”

The two choices are different, which determines whether Pei's family supports Cui Qingjue or gets him down.

Pei Chang didn't say the answer, let the prince think for himself.

He couldn't stay in the center for long, and when he reached seventy, he had to pay tribute, before Cui Xizhen was over seventy and did not retire, because the new emperor had just ascended the throne and asked him to take care of him for another two or three years, and the current prince is different from her father, who is frail and can't worry about politics, and doesn't need the old courtiers in front of him to "take care"; What's more, he is not the prince's maternal grandfather, even if the prince wants to keep his old ministers, he will not necessarily choose him Pei Chang.

It's better to retire earlier, is it okay to let Ah Heng take over the throne when he is fifty? Old and not dead is a thief, although there is no need to die, but you can't always dominate the position, the family must continue to have young and strong, there is fresh blood, and even the father and son have to have a gap if they don't let go of the position.

Datang is Chaoyang, and their Pei family also wants to be Chaoyang.

Thinking of this, Pei Chang laughed again in his heart.

Even if you choose the crown prince, the prince ...... I'm afraid I won't give birth so early. After birth, is there a gap between mother and child, mother and child? has been a prince for thirty or forty years, maybe he is still in front of his mother, can he not be resentful? The current crown prince may not be the father of the future prince. They Pei's, what's the hurry.

……

Qinghe Cui's family and Shu County Mansion are also talking about the queen's words.

Because Cui Xizhen has retired from the throne of the country, and the prince inherits the title, the "Song State Mansion" will be replaced by the door plaque of the "Shu County Mansion" - but the latter is the crown prince Li Yuzhen gave the pen, in terms of Cui's future, this county is more valuable than the national prince, and the title is also expected to be promoted to the national prince.

- Regardless of whether Cui Qingjue can become the crown prince or not.

It is done, it is the icing on the cake; But if it doesn't, it won't affect the status of the Qinghe Cui clan.

Cui Guangbi, the new head of the Qinghe Cui family, has a fairly stable mentality about this.

But Cui Qingjue is his son, and now he is "successful or not", from his father's point of view, he still hopes that his son will have his own life, and he will not hang himself on the prince's tree.

"Okay," Cui Guangbi called out his son's words, "When your grandfather gave you the words, he played a song "Step Out of the Summer Gate", which is expected for you to be determined to travel thousands of miles and not stop." You have not disappointed your grandfather since you were a child. "It's only emotionally headaches, how can I encounter such an emotional barrier!

At this time, it is the time for the birds to return at dusk, the birds chirp in the Xiao Garden, the trees are deep and cool, and the twilight is more and more quiet, the Shu County Gong Shen sleeves and clogs are walking slowly, looking at his son sideways, his complexion is as smooth as jade, the bridge of his nose is oblique and straight as a jade bone, and his posture is like an orchid like a bamboo. And his son is also amazing in talent, at the age of nineteen, he shocked the Tang poetry world with a "Xiaoyuan Poems", known as the general outline of Tang poetry, Qilang also became a generation of poetry masters at the age of less than a weak crown; At the age of twenty-five, he became "On the Life of Reason", shocking Confucianism and Taoism and the Three Realms, known as the sect of the three realms of integration, and now he has only passed and has been awarded the title of two masters. - How can it be folded in love?

Cui Guangbi's sleeves sank, and he slowly moved forward, and said: "Yes, with your talent, whether you are a professional or a professional scholar, you can achieve achievements that shine all over the world and go down in history." You'll go far in the future. If you enter the deep palace, it will damage your future. You already know the meaning of the queen's words, and you still have to wait for her? When she chose the crown prince three or four years later, it was not you, and she was completely disappointed? Or even continue to stumble? The words were already cold.

"Tuk, tuk,......" There is only the light and rhythmic sound of clogs.

Cui Qingjue is half a body behind his father, the clogs fall lightly and soundly on the sandwich road, he did not reply to his father's words for a while, his clear and quiet eyes look ahead, the left and right sides of the sandwich road are thick and green, the eyes are full of dark green peony and bright colors, the end of the path is a bend of the clear lake like a peony leaf, the willows by the lake are thousands of wisps entwined with the evening breeze, the white goose in the water plucks the palm and paddles lazy and comfortable, the slanting light reflects a pool of clear water like sprinkling light gold, the pear white pink has been gone, the peony under the tree is the delicate and fragrant pink and purple vermilion, and the fragrance of flowers comes with the twilight breeze. Immersing yourself in the heart and spleen is that the fragrance will not disappear. When the sun is gone, the night falls, and this fragrance blooms alone, and the fragrance is alone. Cui Qingjue's heart is like Lixiao Garden in this twilight, and there is a fragrance in the quiet and cool.

"When I decided to love her, I was on my own path."

Cui Xingzhi's elegant and sparse voice is quiet in the twilight, and there is a kind of tranquility in the cool scenery.

Cui Guangbi paused suddenly, turned to look at him, and his thick eyebrows were like ink in the twilight.

Cui Qingjue's voice was still elegant and sparse, and his expression was still calm and peaceful, and he said: "Ah Gong said that there must be a festival of pine and yun to be a man: if the pine is deeply rooted in the soil, it will stand as old as before after wind, frost, rain and snow; It is necessary to have the flexibility of cultivating bamboo, let the east, west, north and south winds, bend but not bend, and turn back and straight. ”

"She is wind, frost, rain and snow, and I am pine. She is the east, west, north and south winds, and I am bamboo. ”

When he fell in love with Li Yuzhen clearly, this became his way, and he didn't stop.

Even if she is ruthless like wind, frost, rain and snow, and lonely as cold and icy wind, his heart is like pine and bamboo, not falling or breaking.

"The way is done."

The way is made by people.

And the Tao will only succeed if it goes on forever.

Cui Qingjue doesn't want to regret it when he looks back at the end of the years, he is willing to be hurt and unwilling to stop.

went on and on, even though he still couldn't love in the end, but he followed his heart - even if it was painful, he was still him, and he didn't bend because of the great terror of the world.

More than walking, this is Cui Qingjue's way, learning is like this, and feelings are like this.

His feelings are the same as those of his people, not as blazing as the summer sun, but like the deep quiet scene of this Xiao Garden, elegant and timeless, although the night is still beautiful.

Shu Jungong looked at his son, his eyes became deep and complicated, and his heart seemed to be pricked by the branch of the peony flower, and there was a kind of sourness, but seeing his son's calm and stable eyes, Cui Guangbi suddenly understood his son again.

My heart goes to the place I yearn for, and although it is bitter, it is also safe.

“…… Just make a pilgrimage. ”

Shu Jungong sighed and said this sentence angrily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

finally wrote Cui Qingjue what he thought in his heart.

The way is done - I like this quote very much.
