Chapter 42: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother enjoyed a round of tea, and said kindly: "Yuncheng, you and Zhirong are close friends in the boudoir, so I will go to see her when I enter the palace this time, and comfort her." ”
The eldest princess put down the golden ou with a smile and said: "Queen Mother, the son is now happy with her grandson, and she is a person who is happy in her face, and I am afraid that seeing Zhirong will make her unhappy." ”
The Queen Mother said: "It is precisely because you still don't forget the old days when you are full of spring breeze that this love is more precious and can make her feel more comfortable and relieve her boredom." Go ahead. ”
The eldest princess looked at Wen Nanqi deeply, and then got up and said: "It's that the sons are confused, and since the queen mother said so, the ministers there will follow the order to ask the queen mother for peace." ”
After another round of tea, the Queen Mother took the small snack presented by Ying Huai, tasted it slightly, and said, "Nanqi, the imperial grandmother hasn't seen you for a few days." ”
Wen Nanqi bowed down and said: "It's the grandson who is not filial, he failed to sweep the courtyard, and he was filial under the knees of the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "This kid has a sweet mouth!" When the mourning family heard this, their hearts were happy! ”
Everyone echoed the jokes, and the queen mother said: "This bergamot cake is the prince's favorite when he was a child, Nanqi, the mourning family often worries that he is too tired of political affairs, and now you have entered the palace, just right, you send this snack to the imperial study for the mourning family." ”
Wen Nanqi said with a smile: "It's unfair for the imperial grandmother to give birth, and it's rare for a grandson to be filial under her knees, but you are thinking about your cousin." ”
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly and shook her head at him and said, "This mouth! The mourners love it! But in the past, he was relieved by retreat, but now he has retreated to northern Xinjiang, and the prince is a person who is bent on the government, and the mourning family is counting on your brothers to help each other. Ah, go ahead. ”
Wen Nanqi could only smile and get up and take the snacks to the imperial study.
Everyone drank the third round of tea rewarded by the Queen Mother, and the interested clan got up and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine sees that the lotus flowers in this garden are blooming just right, I don't know if the concubine is lucky enough to shake the oar to pick one and take it back to the house for offering, and when she treats guests in the future, she is so envious of others!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and pointed at her again and again: "Okay, I'm thinking about the red lotus of the mourning family!" It was made a few years ago in the southern country, and only the mourning family was here. ”
Jun Ping answered under the kind eyes of the Queen Mother: "Since it is from the south, the concubine will not join in this excitement, and the concubine will do her filial piety here for her husband and accompany the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother beckoned with a smile: "They are all lovely children, come to the imperial grandmother and let the imperial grandmother take a good look at you." ”
Everyone hurriedly called friends to lead them to the garden to enjoy the lotus, and Mingjing helped Junping to sit on the pestle at the feet of the Queen Mother, and then followed Yinghuai to retreat outside the palace.
Jun Ping withdrew his hand and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine wants to beg ......"
The Queen Mother said: "The emperors of the three dynasties of the mourning family, reading countless concubines, scheming, and scheming, you are not in the ranks." You better just say it, don't beat around the bend, the mourning family is old and doesn't want to fight in the ring. ”
Jun Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Niangniang, the concubine wants this child, but the concubine heard that the southern country sent an envoy to condole, and the concubine ......."
The Queen Mother stroked the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and said softly: "The benefits of this child staying for you outweigh the disadvantages." You can see it very clearly. ”
Jun Ping hurriedly knelt down to plead: "The Queen Mother!" Concubine An dares to do this?! Once a concubine was a mother, she was really reluctant to suffer this catastrophe before her flesh and blood were born! Concubine...... Just want to keep this kid ......"
The Queen Mother patted her hand and said, "Good boy, with this heart, the mourning family is relieved for Yuncheng and Nanqi." ”
Jun Ping fell on the queen mother's knee and sobbed, and said intermittently: "Concubine, concubine don't dare, concubine is just for mother's love." ”
The Queen Mother lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "It's not difficult to keep this child. ”
Junping's eyes lit up, and he looked up at her, like a mother.
The Queen Mother said: "If you really love this child, and the mourning family has a way, don't you hear that the mother will go to the son and stay?" ”
Jun Ping was cold, the coldness of the white marble climbed up his forehead along his legs, Jun Ping came back to his senses in the contemptuous gaze of the Queen Mother, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the concubine also thought about this method, but the concubine gave up." It is precisely because the concubine loves her son deeply that the concubine is unwilling to separate the mother and son! That's why I entered the palace to ask for advice! ”
The Queen Mother wiped the thin sweat from her forehead and said, "The mourning family understands, why are you in such a hurry?" In addition to this method, there is another method. ”
Jun Ping kowtowed again and again, crying: "Please teach me!" ”
The Queen Mother patted her on the shoulder and said, "Since the mother and son are deeply in love, how can the mourning family be willing to be this wicked person." Don't you hear that the art of war has clouds, and the golden cicada is also out of its shell. In this way, wouldn't Nanqi and you be more harmonious? ”
Jun Ping hurriedly said: "Ask Niangniang for guidance." ”
The Queen Mother said: "When the child was born, he faked his death, and Xuan Pingbo found another concubine to raise the child, and then he was in the limelight, and then he was the main mother." Look, how does this work? ”
Jun Ping was grateful and said, "Xie Niangniang!" ”
After Junping left, Yinghuai washed the hands of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said, "What do you think of this person?" ”
Ying Huai said: "The maid feels that this person's name does not match the truth. It's not like a princess specially selected by the south. ”
The Queen Mother said: "This time you look away!" Where she came to beg for mourning, she was clearly here to act. You see, today's words will fall into Nanqi's ears without any difference. ”
Yinghuai wrung out Juanzi and said: "The maid doesn't understand, does she want Xuan Pingbo's favor?" ”
The Queen Mother said: "Choose a heavier Danko, the mourning family can't send him in person, so remember him in small things." Then Fang Caiyinghuai's words continued, "You have a preconceived idea, thinking that she came to Yandu to fish in troubled waters, so you didn't expect this stubble." In ancient and modern times, women in the house can go to the front of the power screen, without the help of their husbands or the help of their mothers, they are probably impossible. She, too, is no exception. ”
Ying Huai dyed it carefully, and said in a low voice: "The maid understands, but the eldest princess and Xuan Pingbo are both on guard, and she is afraid that it will not be easy for her to succeed." ”
The Queen Mother nodded her forehead and said, "You have been following the mourning family for all these years, who is the opponent in the palace?" If you are allowed to go to that ordinary house, without a big posture to balance you, you are afraid that you will not be the opponent of Jun Ping. ”
Ying Huai said with a smile: "This also shows that the servant is with the right person, can the maid still go to the small house to worry about it in this life?" I expect you to love me, and I can't bear it. ”
The Queen Mother took her hand and said: "The more you risk the world's disapproval, the more firm it is." Nanqi is a person, like the glass cup, very thorough, and he can read it at a glance. ”
Xijiang month.
Xiang Yu smiled: "You see, this Junping is still very smart, Xuan Pingbo removed her cronies, but she relied on the people given by the prince to enter the palace." ”
Gu Mingchao was unmoved and said: "Her child is destined to not be saved, she wants the greatest benefits, human nature." ”
Xiang Yu said: "It's really cold-blooded." If Wen Nanqi loves her for three points, and this child happens to die...... This love may be seven points. After that, she had one more way out. ”
Gu Mingchao put away the written letter and said: "Wen Nanqi seems to be gentle, but in fact, he is stubborn and conceited. ”
Xiang Yu said: "The southern envoy will come soon, will Jun Ping get Wen Nanqi's favor for her?" ”
Gu Mingchao said: "She has already waited." ”
Xiang Yu said: "What about the southern envoy? How do you cope? ”
Gu Mingchao smiled: "It should be how you deal with it, where are you doing it?" ”
Xiang Yusan traced a picture of Cangzhu twice, blew the ink and said: "This world is too difficult, I can only survive in the cracks, no better than you, with Xie Song to take care of." Why do you ask? ”
Gu Ming sealed the letter, got up and said, "I'll warn you again, it's an eventful time, what you want to do, you must let me know first." Houfu doesn't need a disobedient ally, and a meticulous work who can turn against the water at any time. ”
Xiang Yu rolled up the picture and said as he put it in the box: "Gu Gongzi, the southern envoy hasn't arrived, and I don't know what task will be given to me from above." ”
Gu Mingchao suddenly turned around and said: "The case of Qingshan Temple, I never believe that it was done by the old Yin Ge, the Criminal Department has not given up the investigation, you had better make it clear to me, otherwise you will bear the brunt of unloading the mill and killing the donkey." ”
Xiang Yu held the handkerchief, and his heart was slightly uneven.
One hundred and twenty miles away from the border with Watta.
Chi Zhan counted the generals, and said with some doubts: "Songzhao, I feel a little unusual, even if it doesn't work this month, it won't be defeated so quickly, I think it's a fraud." ”
Xie Song said, "Uncle Zhan, then in your opinion, will we retreat to Watta City now?" ”
Chi Zhan nodded cautiously and said, "Yes." I've been here for more than ten years, and I've won or lost with Yuezhi, but I've never been so defeated today. ”
Xie Song bowed his head and said, "It's really risky." The death of my father hit the soldiers and added fire to their hearts. Let's withdraw now, poor Kou Mo chase, we have already committed a big taboo. ”
Chi Zhan comforted him: "It's not too late to make amends." ”
Adjutant General Tong Meng said: "General, why did you withdraw from the army when you were in a hurry?" ”
Chi Zhan spit out the sand that blew into his mouth and said, "Lao Meng, we have been fighting Yuezhi for all these years, is there such an easy time?" Let's go deep alone, the rear is empty, it's better to retreat early! ”
Tong Meng suddenly sobered up, beat his legs and said, "Turtle cub!" It's over, it's over! Let's go, let's go, if that turtle joins forces with Yuezhi, we won't even have pants left! ”
Assault and chase the enemy deep into the enemy's hinterland, water and food are not enough, and lamentations on the way back are overwhelming. Xie Songzhao followed the army for forty miles, seeing that the army was sleepy and tired, and it was difficult to move forward. Tong Meng carried the horsewhip and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
"General, let's take a break! Can't walk! A flag-carrying pawn wailed.
Tong Meng scolded and said, "The general has already gone back to move the rescue troops, we have to keep up!" Otherwise, what if those bunnies kill them? Buried alive? ”
Xie Songzhao was just with the army and didn't interject, but Tong Meng came over to talk to him: "Shizi, are you okay?" ”
Xie Songzhao didn't want to open his mouth at all, so he could only say in a low voice: "Thank you for the general's concern, Xie is still successful." ”
Tong Meng scolded the people again and rode forward.
"Don't go! The defenders of Vata don't go! Come play with grandpa! The dust flew behind him, and the general leopard led by him had a cruel smile on his face.
