Chapter 30 The Widow of the Imperial Family
It was nearly dusk, and a carriage galloped on the official road in front of the palace, crushing through the frost.
In the carriage, a woman who looked like a noblewoman held a hand warmer and closed her eyes, and a young man sat on the side, looking at her a little crampedly.
Luo Deva knew that her mother at this time must not be disturbed. Just now, Luo Deva and Lu Lingxuan entered the palace to meet the emperor, and were rejected by the emperor, which is unprecedented, Luo Deva was a little panicked for a while, at this time she can only hope that her mother can think of a way, and her mother always has a way.
In the fifth year of Wuding, Luo Tipo's father Luo Chao rebelled and was killed, Lu Lingxuan was confiscated into the palace as a palace maid, and Luo Deva also changed from a little boy to a cheap slave spurned by everyone overnight.
Lu Lingxuan went out early and returned late, desperately striving for the opportunity to climb up, and then was assigned to the palace of Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang at that time, as a female official, and later, Gao Wei, the son of King Changguang, was born, and Lu Lingxuan became Gao Wei's nurse, and then because of his meritorious teaching to the prince, Lu Lingxuan was named the county monarch by Emperor Gao Zhan of Wucheng, which was the only woman who had real power in the court. Luo Deva has become his aristocratic young master again, and her status is even better than before.
But Luo Deva was not so happy, because the center of his mother from now on was no longer him, but the milk brother who was three or four years younger than him, the natural noble Gao Wei. When Gao Wei was still six years old, Gao Wei felt that his younger brother did not play with him and felt lonely, so Lu Lingxuan led him to Gao Wei, Lu Lingxuan said: "From now on, you are the playmate of His Royal Highness the Prince, he is your master, you have to try your best to make him happy, understand?" ”
When he said this, Lu Lingxuan's expression and tone were extremely serious, and Luo Deva subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
Lu Lingxuan replied: "Because he is related to the rise and fall of our family, honor and disgrace, just by virtue of this, you must please him, compromise with him...... he is the future king, his words can make you live, a word can make you die, and a word can protect you for a lifetime of wealth and glory, this is what you must do." ”
It was the first day I saw Cushman & Wakefield, and Tipo Luo remembered that Cushman had just changed his teeth at that time, he was tiger-headed, white and cute, and he was always "brother and brother" around Tipo Luo, and Tipo Luo didn't like him at all, but she still had to play with him and meet all of Cushman's requirements.
Because the mother said that this obnoxious child would be able to decide his honor and disgrace in the future, so he had to please him. Even if he doesn't like him at all.
Facts have proved that the mother is right, and later relied on Gao Wei, the status of their mother and son in Daqi is getting higher and higher, and there are also many officials who follow them, no need to rely on life and death on the battlefield, no need to study hard for ten years, Luo Deva relied on Gao Wei's support, and climbed to the top of the Northern Qi Dynasty step by step.
He originally thought that he could go on like this for the rest of his life, but Cushman & Wakefield suddenly changed and became a stranger.
is no longer the self-esteem and inferiority, smart but timid Gao Wei in Luo Tiva's impression......
Today, he and his mother went to the palace gate to pray for an audience, and what they were waiting for was no longer Gao Wei's enthusiastic summons, but a cold will, "I am ill and it is inconvenient to see the junjun, please go back." ”
His Majesty didn't even want to pretend to be enthusiastic on the surface, Luo Tiva was full of fear at the moment, thinking of He Shikai and Hu Changren, he suddenly realized that he realized for the first time that this milk brother could be so terrifying, like a man-eating tyrannosaurus.
His heart was filled with fear, and he didn't know if Gao Wei would directly give their mother and son the same fate as Heshi Kai next.
His hands trembled uncontrollably, Lu Lingxuan opened his eyes and glared at him angrily: "What are you panicking about?" Something that doesn't make a difference! ”
Luo Deva lowered her head and asked, "Mother, you, you say, will Your Majesty do anything to our family?" ”
"How do I know? Probably not, after all, His Majesty still needs our ...... right now"
Lu Lingxuan was indifferent on the surface, but the quietly clenched hand betrayed her. I won't do it now, so what about later? Will Cushman sacrifice butcher knives when they are no longer needed?
Lu Lingxuan didn't dare to bet, she had seen Gao Yang's brutality and murder for so many years in Northern Qi, Gao Yin's madness, Gao Yan's city, and Gao Zhan's moodiness......
But there is nothing she can do now, just a month ago, His Majesty seemed to have suddenly changed, first killing He Shikai, then imprisoning Hu Changren, and then purging the court. At first, Lu Lingxuan actually didn't care, because the death of He Shikai was only good for her, and there was no harm to her, Lu Lingxuan knew that He Shikai had an impact on Gao Zhan, Gao Wei and Empress Dowager Hu, just by virtue of this, Lu Lingxuan was not as good as He Shikai, and Shikai ate meat, she and Hu Changren could only drink some residual soup, and He Shikai finally died, she was very happy, but later, His Majesty suddenly attacked Hu Changren, and he couldn't hide his ears!
Luo Tipo, Han Feng and the others cheered, but Lu Lingxuan gradually couldn't laugh, and a chill slowly rose in his heart. I finally understood what it means to be sad when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.
He Shikai and Hu Changren, they all fell, what next? Who is Your Majesty's next target? This made Lu Lingxuan panic all day, and finally two days ago, Gao Wei took back the palace waist card and phoenix seal from her who was in charge of the harem, and Lu Lingxuan lost the capital she relied on to close the harem.
She never imagined that there would be a day when Cushman would no longer listen to her......
Thinking about it, she felt a chill in her back, and she was terrified, they left the shelter of Cushman & Wakefield, and there would only be one end - death!
So today Gao Wei is in the court, when facing the forces of the lords, they did not stand up and speak, Lu Lingxuan wanted to wait until Gao Wei really couldn't support it before standing up to save the scene, anyway, the lords did not dare to abolish Gao Wei, so that Gao Wei realized the importance of the old people in the East Palace, and gave them power ...... again, and, full trust.
But Lu Lingxuan was disappointed, the scene she expected Gao Wei could not support the ministers did not happen, on the contrary, Gao Wei easily resolved the long-planned offensive of King Langya and the ministers, not only did not let the ministers achieve their goal, but also forcibly removed one of the arms of King Langya, I heard that Duan De was punished with a rod outside the Qianqiu people today, and under the witness of King Langya, he was beaten to death, and the blood flowed all over the ground......
Lu Lingxuan knew that this was not only for King Langya, but also for all the ministers, and from then on, the ministers would not dare to force the palace like today.
Lu Lingxuan smiled bitterly, unconsciously His Majesty had actually learned such an unfathomable imperial mental technique, and she could no longer guess His Majesty's thoughts.
"What to do?" Lu Lingxuan thought hard about retreating.
"Your Majesty has changed......" Luo Tipo said bitterly.
Lu Lingxuan's eyes were gloomy.
Now their mother and son have an uncertain future.
The carriage shook suddenly, and Lu Lingxuan and Luo Tipo almost fell on the board.
"Who?" As soon as they stabilized, Luo Deva angrily lifted the curtain and found another carriage in front of them, blocking their way.
On the other side, the curtain of the car was opened, and a face was revealed, looking at them happily: "Hehe, Junjun, can you give a talk on your face?" ”
Lu Lingxuan paused for a moment and exclaimed, "Hu Changren? What are you doing here? ”
"Haha, don't be so nervous, I just want to talk to you about something......" Hu Changren's face was a little unnatural, and he snorted.
…………
In the evening, the candlelight in Jiafu Palace was warm, and Hu Lu Wan'er specially made a table full of dishes, all of which were placed in front of Yuanyuan.
She originally signaled that Yuanyuan could eat first, but Yuanyuan didn't move any chopsticks until now.
"Yuanyuan eats first, you don't have to wait for your imperial brother, he is very busy every day......"
Hu Lu Wan'er sandwiched a chopsticks of beef brisket into Yuanyuan's bowl, but Yuanyuan shook her head and pushed the bowl forward, "I think Sister Yuanyun ......"
"Yuanyuan can eat first, I've already asked people to look for your sister Yuanyun, and I'll bring it over as soon as I find it, okay?"
"I want Sister Yuanyun to eat ...... with me"
Wan'er coaxed Yuanyuan softly, but Yuanyuan still didn't want to eat, saying that she wouldn't eat if she couldn't see Sister Yuanyun.
Hu Lu Wan'er was also helpless, so she had to order someone to urge Xiao Shunzi to find it quickly, while coaxing Yuanyuan to eat: "Yuanyuan is about to eat, the food is going to be cold......"
I suddenly found that children are not so worry-free, and they are stubborn and have no temper.
Just when Hu Lu Wan'er was about to release a trick and educate the little girl well, Gao Wei stepped into Jiafu Palace.
"What's the matter, you haven't eaten so late...... Didn't you say you didn't have to wait for me? ”
Gao Wei let the palace maid take off his cloak for him, and looked at Yuanyuan who was angry in front of the small table with a smile.
Yuanyuan looked at the palace maid who came in later, her eyes lit up, she quickly got up, her little short legs ran fast, and she threw herself into her arms:
"Sister, where did you go?"
The woman gently stroked Yuanyuan's little head, and said with a smile: "Sister is fine, sister has something to go out, I didn't expect our Yuanyuan to be His Royal Highness?" ”
"As soon as I woke up, I became like this...... "Yuan Yuan already roughly understood what the title of His Royal Highness was.
The woman was tall and beautiful, wearing a plain white palace dress, looking very calm, but her face was a little pale, and she was Yuan Yun.
"It's your brother and I went to get her back, aren't you surprised?" Gao Wei half-squatted down and touched the head of the little radish head.
"Huh? Aren't you Xiao Weizi? Yuanyuan blinked in surprise and looked at Cushman & Wakefield.
The smile on Gao Wei's face froze: "......, is your brother so like a little eunuch?" ”
Yuanyuan thought of the scene when she met Gao Wei that day, and nodded, "Like." ”
"Poof" Wan'er couldn't help laughing, glanced at Gao Wei coquettishly, and said: "If you don't be serious on weekdays, it's okay now, my sister won't recognize you!" But ......" Wan'er suddenly noticed a shallow bloody mouth on Gao Wei's face, and exclaimed:
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with the wound on your face?"
"When I was playing snowball today, I accidentally got my face scraped by ice spikes under the tree, and ......I didn't get in the way, so I turned around and cut down the tree."
"Why are you so careless, how sharp is that ice, really, you wait, I'll let someone rub the medicine for you."
Gao Wei touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said, "Let's have dinner first, I'm going to starve to death......"
Wan'er glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "If you don't heal it, you will have a scar, and it will be good to have you." So saying, he hurried down.
"It's nothing ...... a man with a scar" Gao Wei said helplessly, his eyes glanced to the side, only to see Yuan Yun hugging Yuanyuan and saying some happy words, Yuanyuan couldn't do without eating those delicious things today, playing those fun things, and she felt a lot more relieved with Yuan Yun by her side.
Gao Wei smiled bitterly, and said lightly to Yuan Yun: "You come with me to ......" and then walked out of the palace gate.
Yuan Yun hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"It seems that Yuanyuan really can't live without you......" Gao Wei glanced at her, Yuan Yun lowered his head obediently, Gao Wei couldn't see her expression, "In the future, you will stay by Yuanyuan's side and take care of her, you are not allowed to harm her, remember your promise, once I find out that you want to harm her, I will never care whether you are the royal family of the previous dynasty or not, even if you are real, I will cramp your bones and scatter your bones!" ”
