Chapter 245
If it is said that the king of Jinyang returned to Beijing, Emperor Jingyuan did not respect it very much, but the king of a country personally greeted him at the palace gate, and set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for him, which is already a supreme honor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, if it is said that Emperor Jingyuan was kind to the King of Jinyang and treated each other with brotherly courtesy in the past, but his wife, Queen Situ, the mother of a country, and his favorite Princess Rongchang are nowhere to be seen, isn't it slack?
Emperor Jing Yuan's ambiguous attitude really makes people suspicious.
However, he didn't mention it, and King Jinyang didn't take the initiative to ask, but only followed Emperor Jingyuan's steps to the Cheng'en Hall where the banquet was held.
Cheng'en Palace, Cheng'en Palace, as the name suggests. In the past, even the state banquet was not set here, in the eyes of those who care, this is a warning given to them by Emperor Jingyuan - the emperor and the queen of heaven, the monarch and the minister are different, and they should be grateful for the grace of the saint.
The group, whether it was Hanbei or the princes of Emperor Jingyuan, all walked in a proper manner, for fear that they would make a mistake and cause some trouble. However, the Seventh Prince, Baili Mingxu, was only ten years old, and he couldn't figure out how tense the peaceful scene in front of him was secretly. He deliberately took a few steps behind and beckoned to the little eunuch on the side: "Xiao Quanzi!" ”
The eunuch named Xiao Quanzi hurriedly stepped forward to listen to his orders.
"I heard from the people of Qin Tianjian that it will be snowing in the past two days, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to see, have my cages for catching birds been done? Also, you go to my cousin and ask him if the costume of the last Tsing Yi has been changed, and I can't wear his size! ”
Since the seventh prince Baili Mingxu left Mo Yu as a teacher, he has become more and more arrogant and does not like to read, and he can play whatever is fun. At the beginning, Mo Yu was upright, and he had nothing to say in front of Concubine Li, but now the eunuchs and palace maids around Baili Mingxu were tossed by him a lot, and they didn't dare to sue Concubine Li, so they had to let him carefully.
Xiao Quanzi looked at the saint and Concubine Li not far away, and was so anxious that he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness the Seventh, when is it, you should restrain yourself, the heads of the minions are tied to the belts of your trousers, please show mercy!" ”
The prince is arrogant, most of them don't care about the life and death of the slaves, Baili Mingxu is used to being praised, he can't listen to persuasion, and he stares at Xiao Quanzi without fear: "If you want to go, don't talk nonsense!" Otherwise, I will tell my mother, it's cold, you don't give me clothes, you want to freeze me to death! He didn't give me water to drink at night, he wanted to die of thirst! ”
Where can Xiao Quanzi fight his little ancestor, and he can't care about wiping the sweat on a cold day, so he has to say: "Slave...... The slave doesn't know where Uncle Li is......"
The Seventh Prince, Baili Mingxu, finally got impatient, and couldn't wait to step forward and kick him a few times, but said angrily: "My uncle is here, he is either in his theater building, or he is in charge of ceremonies, where to steal idle, your head is really white, and you are not as smart as my general!" ”
The general is his cricket.
The noise between the two has been quite big, but everyone is afraid of the Li family's unrivaled favor now, and they are afraid of the candidate for the prince who has not yet been made public, even if they see it, they don't dare to meddle in things.
At the corner of the Imperial Garden, Han Bei, who had always been extremely curious, looked back. The Seventh Prince, Baili Mingxu, noticed his gaze and grimaced at him with a smile on his face, looking very dissatisfied.
Han Bei smiled at him, but when he turned back, he was puzzled, and raised his eyebrows slightly, this is the legendary Seventh Prince who is about to be appointed as the prince? Hmph, their honorable Emperor Majesty is really eclectic.
Who let Queen Situ not be able to give birth to a son, and if her stomach is not angry, she can't blame others.
Thinking of this, Han Bei thought of the princess Rongchang who had just been widowed. His husband heard that he was quite capable, but unfortunately his life was too short, and he died of fratricide.
Han Bei can't forget the whip she whipped him in public in the Beijun Mansion, and it took two months to recover, barely leaving a scar, so he still touches his cheek from time to time.
At the beginning, he swore in his heart that when he gained power, he would make her look good. Now it seems that she should too, and she can't escape the widow's life left and right.
Before coming to Shengjing this time, he was still thinking about what it would be like to see her again, but he didn't see her at this time, it was a pity, he didn't even have a chance to scorn her and humiliate her.
At the banquet of the Cheng'en Palace, the monarchs and ministers enjoyed together, so the ceremonial priests and servants who had been in charge of the disaster of the former Turks for a long time also returned to the stage to perform.
However, Li Shu watched from a distance behind the stage, and saw that the King of Jinyang had no interest in these songs, dances, and operas, and his face had not changed in any way, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that the songs and dances in Jiangnan were not the same as the appetite of King Jinyang?
After the Hu Xuan Dance was changed, those dancers were scantily dressed and danced vigorously, and the civil and military officials were fascinated, but the King of Jinyang was still so indifferent.
Li Shu is out of line.
Emperor Jingyuan's holy decree is to serve the King of Jinyang well, and he can't satisfy the King of Jinyang even if he tries his best, how can this be good?
was in a hurry, the little eunuch beside Gao Gonggong came over and said something to Li Shu with his ear, and Li Shu nodded suspiciously.
After a while, the dancers withdrew, and the musicians began to play.
As soon as the music started, Li Shu noticed that King Jinyang frowned, and the action of holding the wine glass also paused.
Han Bei also noticed it, and didn't understand why his father cared so much about a song, which he had never seen in all the years he had followed his father.
Emperor Jing Yuan seemed to laugh and said, "Does King Jinyang still remember this song?" ”
Without waiting for King Jinyang to reply, Emperor Jingyuan sighed as if recalling the past: "At that time, I and King Jinyang were still young, and they were wantonly running horses and having fun on the vast prairie of the Beijun Mansion, listening to the girl playing the piano and singing, and the most sung was this song "Leaving the Grass on the Plain". For more than 20 years, I have always recalled that time, and it is really unforgettable! ”
The hand under King Jinyang suddenly clenched into a fist, and from this song, which he had not heard for twenty years, he heard a crisp and cheerful female voice:
"Han Xing, leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. When spring comes, the withered grass will be green again, how interesting! ”
"So what?" The young man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked amusedly.
Her cheeks flushed: "So, it's a pity that the girl in this story and her lover can't be together, when they leave the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered...... Then, what I want to say is that the grass and trees will have prosperity and withering, and the cycle will start over and over again, which is the destiny of heaven, but、But you are my glory, my spring and summer, with you, I will never wither. ”
The young man smiled, presumably with a sparse eyebrow, and he groaned in her description, and then pointed to the poppies in full bloom all over the mountains, and read: "Shan'er, those flowers, the red one is you, and the white one is me, you wait for me...... Marry you......"
For many days and nights after that, he couldn't help but laugh when he remembered her description, "You are my Rong, my Spring and Summer", the kind of smile that came from the bottom of his heart and the corners of his mouth rose slightly...... It came to an abrupt end that year.
Now someone is forcing him to reminisce with a tune, forcing him to remember the tragic loss over the years, and pouring salt on his wounds with high and unscrupulous will.
"Your Majesty has a good memory, but the minister has forgotten." King Jinyang's expression had returned to his usual indifference.
"Really? That's a pity, I and the queen have loved this song all these years. They use gonghou and flute to play, which is always not as beautiful as the chorus of qin and flute......" Emperor Jingyuan also drank a glass of wine, looked at King Jinyang with sharp eyes and smiled, and nodded at the musicians intentionally or unintentionally.
Emperor Jingyuan has always attached equal importance to grace and power, but today he always has a smile on his face, this kind of smile, looking at the world, but it seems to want to be kind to others, so it is very different. The courtiers only felt different, and they couldn't say what was different, but they understood that His Majesty's treatment of King Jinyang was different.
Everyone knows that the best musical instrument in the saint today is the flute, and the flute and flute are harmonious, which is naturally him and the concubine. For example, Li Shu, who is in charge of ceremonies, Si Zheng or Emperor Jing Yuan's personal attendants, understand that Emperor Jing Yuan is talking about him and Concubine Li, but others don't know.
"What Your Majesty said is very true." King Jinyang was silent for a long time, nodded, put down the wine glass in his hand, and immediately someone from the palace stepped forward to fill it.
Emperor Jingyuan had a thousand knots in his heart, and inadvertently drank countless cups with the King of Jinyang, the more Han Xing sank, the more noisy he became, looking at the wine in the cup and smiling: "King Jinyang thinks that this wine is better than the forgetfulness and drunkenness of the Beijun Mansion?" ”
Han Bei sat below, already a little unable to stand Emperor Jing Yuan's similar interrogation, his father was good at wine, a thousand cups were not drunk, what was there to ask? My father is really calm, and he doesn't have any temper, why should he suffer these grievances?
"The wine is good, but it is not drunk. Your Majesty has not loved spirits all these years? King Jinyang held the white jade cup, stroked the smooth cup, and replied truthfully.
"Although the liquor is good, you can't be greedy, especially now that King Jinyang and I have reached this age, it is time to take away the temper of their youth. In addition, the queen always advises me to drink less, how can I not listen? Emperor Jing Yuan replied with a smile, and when he said the last two sentences, he seemed to be full of spring.
mentioned the queen again and again, showing off the deep friendship between the emperor and the queen, the insiders are very incomprehensible, and the uninformed have all kinds of feelings in their hearts. Empress Situ was not there, so only Concubine Li was by Emperor Jingyuan's side, hearing His Majesty say this, Concubine Li's face turned slightly pale, her fingers trembled and pinched the wine jug, and she personally poured another glass for Emperor Jingyuan.
As if he finally couldn't help it, King Jinyang raised his head and asked lightly, "Is the queen in good health?" ”
He didn't ask why she wasn't there.
King Jinyang's all-white hair sat there, his face was not as picturesque as it was twenty years ago, but Emperor Jingyuan was full of anger, he remembered the slap he slapped Situ Shan in the morning, they were really ashamed, he only hurt her once, Han Xing seemed to feel it? It's really enviable!
In addition to anger, she was more cold, she was really accurate, Han Xing had no feelings for her, she had been waiting for this day!
In an instant, he blamed himself again, beat her, someone was distressed, this person should only be him, how could there be someone else? Is this ill-intentioned someone else here to snatch her back?
