Chapter Sixty-Eight: Someone Has Insomnia
On a summer night, the sky is dotted with sparkling stars, like the Milky Way paved with fine quicksand, reclining on the blue sky. The moonlight fell, and the silhouette on the ground was slightly mottled.
Jian Yixuan held a wooden plate, a Jingdezhen official kiln porcelain bowl on the plate, walked through a few corridors, stepped into the door, only to see a candle lit in the room, illuminating the room, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes sat behind the desk with a frown, saw her come in, just put down a scroll in his hand.
"It's Yi Xuan, why haven't you rested so late?" The Word of Righteousness and Love.
"I saw that the light was still on in the study, so I asked the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup. Tomorrow morning, Daddy is not going to rest, what is there to worry about? ”
The early dynasty is a system, and those who do not ask for leave without authorization, or who lie, will be punished as disrespectful once discovered. And it's a daily must-do! It's another thing if the emperor can't go up, and if something big happens, it can be canceled temporarily.
Officials generally get up at three o'clock. Get a grooming and eat early, until half past three or four.
Then go out, some walk, some sit in a sedan chair, and the destination is the court.
At about five o'clock, the pilgrimage begins, or wait at the door for the pilgrimage.
Line up, salute, and go to court.
If you have something, you will leave, and return to your respective yamen office, so every time there is a court meeting, the officials have to sleep very early, and tomorrow there will be a court meeting.
Jian Yi looked at his daughter and sighed deeply.
"Daddy, does it have anything to do with your daughter?"
Jian Yi sighed for a long time before he said: "Today's poetry meeting, Your Majesty is also here." ”
"What?" Jian Yixuan's red lips opened slightly. If Your Majesty is here, then your Majesty's every move today will not be known to Your Majesty.
He looked at his daughter, both loving and reproachful: "You, I don't know what to say about you, there are disputes with foreign races, many talented people are present, what are you making a fuss about?" ”
Jian Yixuan was puzzled: "Ban Zhao continued to write the Han book, Li Xiuning guarded the Niangzi Pass, they are all heroes among women, and the daughter, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, naturally can't sit back and watch being humiliated by other races." ”
Jian Yi smiled bitterly: "You know that they are talented, but where do you know their lives of wandering." ”
Jian Yixuan was stunned, seeing her father's face full of worry.
"Your Majesty saw your performance and intended to let you enter the palace to accompany the imperial grandson."
When Jian Yixuan heard this, her face turned white, and as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. She has a quiet temperament, her actual eyes are above the top, and she is proud, but she is reluctant to enter the palace. Shaohua was young, and when he arrived in the palace, he was left with a bleak and graceful future, and there was basically no day to get ahead.
"Daddy, you're ......"
Jian Yi sighed deeply and said: "Your temperament is too strong, the imperial grandson is confident and assertive, and when you get to the palace, you can't get his liking." You're not too young now, if you have anything you like, Daddy will call the shots for you. "He is calm and calm, does not quarrel or make trouble, treats people kindly, and is also very open-minded to his own people.
When he said this, he also gave Jian Yixuan Lu, if you don't want to enter the palace, then marry first. How did he know that Zhu Zhanji didn't like her daughter at all, otherwise, he wouldn't have to be so worried that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Talking about her marriage, Jian Yixuan's ears were hot, and she said: "Daddy, my daughter doesn't marry, and she has always been with her father." ”
She was busy serving her father to drink lotus seed soup, and she was a little flustered.
Jian Yi knew that his daughter was shy, and said with a smile: "If you have this filial piety, your father will be content, you can't accompany your father for a lifetime, I think that Li Qi is good, his literary talent and appearance are all first-class, and he is suitable for you." ”
Jian Yixuan's personable appearance appeared in Jian Yixuan's mind, and she always felt that something was missing, and said softly: "Li Gongzi's character and literary talents are only a handful, but there is always something missing from the man in his daughter's heart." ”
Jian Yi was angry and funny: "Over the years, there have been many people who have come to the house to propose marriage, Brother Dongli's son, and many colleagues have come to talk about it, you don't want to, that's not suitable, then go to the palace." ”
Jian Yixuan was just hearing the news for the first time, and she was a little flustered, but now she reacted and said: "Daddy, don't worry, His Royal Highness already has a concubine and a concubine, and he has a deep relationship, so he naturally doesn't care about his daughter, and he doesn't need to worry about it." Daddy's worry is something else. ”
Jian Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, he wanted to take the opportunity to coax his daughter and let her agree to the marriage as soon as possible, but she didn't know what to do, but she saw through it again, and only sighed deeply: "You, you." ”
"Okay, I can't hide it from you, I'm thinking about this Chen Yuan."
"Chen Gongzi?" Jian Yixuan was surprised and said strangely, "Speaking of which, I am also a little curious, he saved Brother Quan, why did his father suddenly give him a letter and treat him differently." ”
"Do you know, today Your Majesty took your words and deeds into account, and when you finally left, you only said one word." Jian Yi's face was strange.
"What?"
"Your Majesty said, this Chen Yuan is a talent."
Jian Yixuan was surprised: "Your Majesty's words made my daughter scratch her head. ”
Jian Yi smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about you, Dongli and I can't figure it out." Dongli's temperament doesn't like an unpretentious person like Chen Yuan, thinking that he is just playing smart, so he praised Li Qi and Yu Qian, but ignored him. ”
"Your Majesty must know that both me and Dongli oppose his statement, and it must be impossible to explain it. Yu Gong, I want to appease Chen Yuan, Yu Zhi, he saved Quan'er, I should thank him. ”
Jian Yixuan nodded and agreed with her father's statement.
"Yi Xuan, you asked for the things you asked for for your father, but your father was cheeky and found several colleagues to get that basket, you gave them all to Chen Yuan, speaking of which, you seem to know each other."
"Yes, Daddy." Jian Yixuan told the first time she met Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan's search for Li Shimian later. The embarrassment of meeting for the first time, Jian Yixuan almost laughed, "I've never seen a man crying and calling grandma, without any demeanor, just to ask for a few things to eat." ”
Speaking of Chen Yuan's entry into the Nanjing Prison, she praised again: "A flat-headed commoner can run for a woman who has a marriage contract, regardless of his own life, but he is affectionate and righteous, using Jinyiwei and His Royal Highness the Taisun, and finally brought out a death row prisoner safely." If you are a daughter, you can't do it. ”
Jian Yi looked at his daughter's expression one by one, and frowned: "Shi Mian was too impulsive this time, he didn't discuss with me, His Majesty fined him for half a year, and he was not wronged." ”
"Uncle has his considerations, and Yi Xuan doesn't agree either. As for Chen Gongzi inadvertently saving Brother Quan, his daughter didn't know, what he wanted was called sweet potato, and his daughter thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't see anything unusual. ”
"In the face of priceless gems, when he gave them away, when he faced me, he was not in a hurry, this son's calmness was much inferior to me, what did he do? Or is it plotting something? It's this that makes me can't figure it out, Yi Xuan, I hope I've thought too much. ”
"Your Majesty has never praised people easily, this Chen Yuan, what kind of person is it."
Jian Yixuan thought of that gem, and had a strange feeling in his heart, he, could it be to himself? However, didn't he have a marriage contract before he was born and died? Is he like those laymen? The more she thought about it, the more messy her mind became.
"Well, it's late at night, and it's time for my father to rest. Yi Xuan, go to sleep. ”
"Yes." Jian Yixuan replied, she returned to the boudoir, tossed and turned, and had insomnia all her life.
