Chapter 101: Newlywed Life
After the wedding, Wei Yangyang began his new life as the hostess of Qinghe Palace. Now that her identity has changed, her responsibilities have also increased, she has to be familiar with the royal family members and etiquette, she has to manage the concubines and subordinates of the Qinghe Palace, she has to enter the palace every now and then to greet the queen, and she has to participate in large and small entertainments. But she also retained some of her teenage hobbies, such as practicing calligraphy, practicing skills, going to Baiyunguan to listen to Wenru lectures, and arguing with Jiaoqi Beihai.
Arguing with Jiao Qi Beihai is her favorite activity, and she is simply happy. Every once in a while, the two will meet at royal events, and Wei Yangyang will have to fight openly and secretly with each other. But she firmly remembered the rules that Shen Mingyuan set for her, and she didn't scold Jiao Qi Beihai, but only verbally squeezed the other party.
For example, on this day, the peony flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom, and the queen announced that they would enter the palace to enjoy the flowers together. The two entered the harem, and as soon as they got out of the carriage and met, Jiao Qi Beihai jokingly asked her why she was dressed so plainly? Is King Qinghe reluctant to buy her jewelry? Wei Yangyang grew up on the battlefield, and she was not interested in clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache at all, and she didn't know how to distinguish quality, and she didn't have any special requirements for these on weekdays.
There were clear rules on what the princess should wear, and the maids accepted it all according to the rules, and never raised any objections. But she never expected that she didn't like to wear it, and it could actually become a reason for Jiao Qi Beihai's provocation.
Wei Yangyang's fate has not arrived before, and he can be said to know nothing about the relationship between men and women. But since Shen Mingyuan confessed to her, she seemed to have been enlightened and enlightened overnight. In addition, the relationship between the two people is very good after marriage, and she herself is happily married, so she naturally sees that Shen Minghuang and Jiao Qi Beihai do not seem to be so good.
Although she was late in enlightenment in this regard, she also has her own unique opinions. Two people who love each other must have something that both parties like to attract each other. For example, she heard Wen Ru say that Zhang Qiangrose is a noble daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and she has been cultivated by her family according to the standard of marrying the royal family since she was a child. Miss Zhang is well-read in poetry, graceful and knowledgeable, which is Shen Minghuang's favorite genre. Another example is the starling brother and sister-in-law, the eighth is wild and uninhibited, wanton and chic, but his personality is a little paranoid; Sister Miao is empathetic, gentle and considerate, and understands him best, and the two are also very compatible.
And what about himself and King Qinghe? King Qinghe is the best at making all kinds of small toys, and he is the person who knows how to appreciate his craftsmanship the most, and of course the two of us are also a pair made in heaven. However, Shen Minghuang and Jiao Qi Beihai, one is the prince of the Central Plains and the other is the princess of the desert, the environment and language of the two people are completely different, and it is not easy to communicate. In addition, the marriage of the two is purposeful, although the two countries are temporarily friendly, but after all, they have always been antagonistic, how can the two of them easily fall in love with each other?
Thinking of this, Wei Yangyang deliberately touched his earrings: "Oh, sister-in-law, you may not know much about it when you first arrive." Unlike Tyranny, it is not the natural gold and silver jewelry that are valuable. People who like that kind of stuff are usually called "nouveau riche" here in us. The real hard-to-buy things are all handmade.
You look at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and Wu Daozi's paintings, which are all rare treasures. The Dujiangyan and Longmen grottoes in Shu County are also great projects that have been inherited from generation to generation. Although my pair of earrings is not a precious jewelry, it is a drawing drawn by King Qinghe himself, and it is made by a craftsman, and the victory is better than his heart, of course I have to wear it often. Actually, I don't think it's particularly good-looking, but every time I wear it, he is happy, and that's the most important thing, sister-in-law, don't you say? ”
Her pair of earrings, with a bright moon in her left ear and a rabbit in her right ear, were specially made for her by Shen Mingyuan. The wonderful thing is that the moon on the left ear has a small mechanism on it that can be replaced. Shen Mingyuan made a total of sixty different moons, which could be replaced by full moons and crescents depending on the day.
What's even more wonderful is that the "moon" worn during the day is made of shells, and the eyes are slightly darker, as if the moon has sunk; The "moon" worn at night is made of pearls and precious stones, sparkling and resembling a bright moon rising into the sky. In this way, the moon on her earrings every day can echo the moon in the sky anytime and anywhere, as if she is really the moon palace fairy who came down to the world.
She said, "I don't think it's particularly pretty," but she wears them a lot, and she clearly likes these earrings in her heart. The gold pins, jade, pearls and shells used on the earrings are all very common materials. But it's expensive, it's the only one in the world, and you can't buy it on the market.
Shen Mingyuan has nothing to do and no other hobbies, so he likes to make these small things. When I did it before, no one appreciated it, and it was useless, so I put it in the warehouse to eat ashes. Since he met Wei Yangyang, he has finally been able to show his strength, and the time to deal with government affairs has been used by him to make toys and jewelry for his sweetheart.
After becoming a parent, he has a reasonable reason to soak in the warehouse and do what he likes. Wei Yangyang has been used to living alone since he was a child, and he is not clingy, he loves to come or not, even if he doesn't come. If she knew that Shen Mingyuan was in the treasury, she would only order someone to bring food, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
But Shen Mingyuan's ideas are wild, and not everything he makes is likable. For example, the skeleton kite, even Wei Bingyue was startled when he saw it for the first time, and Wen Ru was almost scared to cry.
But Wei Yangyang likes what he makes, no matter how bizarre the clothes and jewelry, she is willing to wear them on her body, and she doesn't care about other people's eyes at all. In this way, Shen Mingyuan was deeply encouraged and did more energetically. Therefore, most of the clothes and accessories on Wei Yangyang's body are unique in this world.
Now she touches these earrings, she has worn them several times in less than a month after she was newly married. Depending on the day and hour of the banquet, she would also order someone to change to a dark moon, a bright moon, or a full moon or a crescent moon. Anyone who has seen it is amazed, and naturally everyone knows that the pair of earrings carries the deep affection of King Qinghe for the princess.
And Shen Minghuang felt that these were all miscellaneous studies, which would simply consume people's minds, and they would be of no use to Jiangshan Sheji, and he had not liked Shen Mingyuan's hobby since he was a child. He did not treat Jiao Qibei Hai harshly in terms of food and clothing, on the contrary, he was a very generous person. But although the jewelry he gave away was valuable, in the eyes of the royal family, it was just precious. Compared with what Shen Mingyuan sent, this is a big difference in mind.
Seeing that Jiaoqi Beihai was angry with himself, Wei Yangyang was overjoyed. But she was still angry that she was not angry enough, and she deliberately recited the poem she learned from Wen Ru the day before yesterday in an accentuated tone: "200,000 people have taken off their armor, but none of them are men." Sister-in-law, do you know what this poem means? What it says is that when Hou Shu perished, the army was vulnerable and could not protect the country and the people, and there were 200,000 people, not one of them had a kind. If you can't fight as a soldier, isn't that just waste? The general of the defeated army, how can he speak bravely, do you say that the imperial sister-in-law? ”
If the eyes can kill, I am afraid that before killing Wei Yangyang, Jiaoqi Beihai will also engrave the word "underbeaten" on her face. Wei Yangyang didn't care how much anger there was in the other party's eyes, seeing that she was about to walk in front of the queen, she was unusual, held Jiaoqi Beihai's hand affectionately, and walked forward together, saying as she walked: "The imperial sister-in-law's house is thousands of miles away, shouldn't you have seen peony flowers?" This peony is graceful and luxurious, and it is the king of flowers, which is not found anywhere else. In our big sun, we will have the opportunity to see the demeanor of the king of flowers. ”
In fact, she is the same as Jiaoqi Beihai, and her mother's family is thousands of miles away. But Wei Shuping was named Pingyuan Bo and now lives in Huadu. Although she can't go home all the time, the Wei family is already a royal family and is eligible to participate in royal activities. At several banquets this month, she met Mrs. Wei and several sisters-in-law, and when there were not many people, she could still talk to them. This is thousands of times better than being alone in a foreign country.
She mentioned twice that the peony is the "king of flowers", although it is a show-off, but it is also the truth. But she uses flowers as a metaphor for the country, how can she not hear it? She emphasized everywhere in her words that Dayang is the most powerful and wealthy country, which is really annoying.
But under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and in order to take revenge, Jiao Qi Beihai had to temporarily swallow this breath in front of the queen. But Wei Yangyang's ability to bend and stretch can never be learned, the other party's front foot is still arguing with herself, and the back foot immediately greets her with a smile, how did she do it? Father is right, this Dayang man is really cunning by nature!
Although Jiaoqi Beihai Dayang is not very good, she can be a violent regent, and she has her own means. It has only been more than a month since she got married, and she can already feel that although Shen Minghuang respects her like a guest, his mind is not here with her at all. She used some tricks with both hard and soft, and soon found out that Song Wenru used to come to the palace often.
She put together the evidence she searched, and then she realized that many people inside and outside the palace thought that Song Wenru should be Princess Fengquan. Even some people looked at her as if she had robbed Song Wenru's position. But this Song Wenru is still a good friend of Wei Yangyang! Most of the sour poems that Wei Yangyang used to satirize himself also learned from her. Damn, really hateful!
She originally thought that Shen Minghuang was in love with Wei Yangyang, but she didn't expect that her opponent was someone else. Think about it, Wei Yangyang, like himself, also grew up in the desert, where do you have so many hearts? That Song Wenru looks weak and delicate, but his brain is very bright. Aren't they Dayang people like that? smiled at you on the surface, turned around and stabbed you. These tricks that Wei Yangyang learned must have been taught by that Song Wenru!
When Wei Yangyang returned to the palace to dine with Shen Mingyuan in the evening, he told him about the white weather. She couldn't help but giggle out loud when she thought of Jiao Qibei's face changing. Shen Mingyuan had been to Haixi and knew the grievances between the Wei family army and the tyrant army. In addition, Jiaoqi Beihai once seriously injured Wei Yangyang, with Wei Yangyang's temperament, she suffered such a big loss, and if she didn't blow up Jiaoqi Beihai the next day, she was already considered "deeply righteous", where did Shen Mingyuan dare to stop her from quarreling with the other party?
He knew that if he wanted to persuade Wei Yangyang not to go to Jiaoqi Beihai's trouble, it was better to go to the Yellow River to discuss and discuss not to flood again in the future. Therefore, every time Wei Yangyang provoked Jiao Qibeihai, he never objected, but just told his wife not to have a public dispute with the other party, and not to make it difficult for the queen. Even, when Wei Yangyang suffered a loss in the only quarrel, he helped her find a place openly and secretly.
But today, when he listened to Wei Yangyang's words, he always felt that something was wrong. Halfway through the meal, he thought of the reason: "Luang, I remember that the poem was "140,000 people unloading their armor", how did you come to you and become 200,000 people?" 60,000 more out of thin air? And this poem was written by a person who died in the country, why did Wen Ru teach you this? ”
Wei Yangyang has always been informal, and she waved her right hand: "Oh, it doesn't matter how many people he has, anyway, that army is the same as the Tyrant Army, it's all waste." As for Wenru, I forced her to teach me. Shen Mingyuan was very helpless after hearing this, but this is not a big deal, as long as Wei Yangyang does not cause trouble outside and does not suffer losses.
It is now mid-spring, the climate is pleasant, and the young couple is sitting in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace to eat. But while eating, Shen Mingyuan felt that something was wrong, he put down his chopsticks and asked Ling Quan: "Why is the garden so quiet today, and I didn't hear the sound of cranes?" ”
There is a lake in the Qinghe Palace, and ducks, geese, mandarin ducks and cranes are raised in the lake for him to watch. He knew that Wei Yangyang was afraid of birds, so he deliberately chose this pavilion far away from the lake when eating. But no matter how far away from the lake, you can't hear a sound at all, it's just quiet and terrible.
When Ling Quan heard him ask, his expression became very frightened, and he didn't dare to speak out. Although he had an extremely good temper, Ling Quan couldn't help but pat the stone table lightly: "What's the matter?" What do I ask you? Seeing that he was unhappy, Wei Yangyang was so frightened that he quickly stood up: "The crane was shot by me this morning." "What?" Shen Mingyuan was shocked and angry, but he knew that Wei Yangyang would not do this for no reason, so he endured his anger and asked, "I have raised the cranes for several years, why are you killing them?" ”
Wei Yangyang first raised his eyes to see his expression, and then pretended to be pitiful: "There was a goose that laid eggs this morning, I went to see it when I was curious, and the goose ran after me and scared me to death." It's, it's pecking in my leg. As soon as I got angry, I shot all the geese to death. But the crane also barked at me, and I thought it was going to peck at me, so I killed them all. ”
The goose is fierce by nature, and after the female goose lays eggs, she is pregnant and protects her cubs. Wei Yangyang had seen the birds walking around before, and he didn't know that he couldn't get close to the mother goose that had just laid eggs and was bringing her cubs. When the she-goose saw her coming, she thought she was going to snatch the eggs, so she attacked her. When she shot the goose, the crane kept chirping because it was frightened. But she was even more afraid than the cranes, thinking that the cranes were going to attack her, so she cut down the grass and eradicated the roots, and killed all the cranes with arrows.
After hearing the cause and effect, Shen Mingyuan didn't need to reprimand her for a few birds, he had to care about her first: "Then are you injured?" Wei Yangyang hurriedly shook his head: "My leg is swollen, and I am not injured." Shen Mingyuan still felt that something was wrong: "What about ducks besides geese and cranes?" Ducks and mandarin ducks, you killed them too? Why is there no sound at all? ”
The duck is a docile and cute duck, and is Wei Yangyang's favorite waterfowl, and she often stands at the lake to watch the ducks swim in a queue. Now hearing Shen Mingyuan's question, she had to answer truthfully: "The ducks and mandarin ducks were scared away by me and swam to the other side of the lake." She was afraid that Shen Mingyuan would reprimand her, so she quickly cleared up her responsibility: "I didn't kill them, they ran away on their own." ”
Shen Mingyuan was angry and helpless, so he had to sigh softly, and kept telling himself in his heart: "Forget it, as long as she doesn't have an accident, you must always give her some time to let her slowly adapt to the new life." ”
