Chapter 172: Ouchi of the Imperial Palace
Imperial City Ouchi. Under the glazed tiles and blue eaves, it is depressing and dull, and in the red walls, even if there are flowers and willows that outsiders can't see, they are really depressed.
Raised in the depths of the boudoir people do not know that it is not a phoenix that flies on the branches, but a canary that has been changed to a cage, and the shackles are just another layer.
Under all kinds of rules, the queen Jiang Shan, who has a little freedom and dominates the world of the harem mother, rarely steals half a day of leisure and strolls in the imperial garden that is difficult for ordinary people to set foot in.
At this time, the weather is still cool, the flowers have not yet bloomed, the weeping willows beside the artificially dug imperial liquid pool have been green, the breeze blows, with this warm sun, it is also quite a style.
Several eunuchs and palace maids were not far away, and they only promised to follow. In normal times, the mild-tempered Jiang Shan is not very distant from these subordinates, and some bold maids dare to joke with this queen who is the mother of a country, but the little master who has more around the queen today has to restrain them a little and dare not come forward to disturb.
"He'er, can't you be more stable?" Jiang Shan, who is full of grace and luxury, has a lazy posture, although the words are blame, but the tone is doting that anyone can hear.
"It's finally quieter, and you pop out to disturb me again." Not far ahead, a girl dressed in a purple short-cut outfit with a heroic face that was different from the royal color threw a few pieces of gravel that she had just picked up into the imperial liquid pool, splashing countless splashes, disturbing the thousands of black, white, red and yellow koi in the pool to wander in a panic, and then fluttering a splash, provoking Jiang Shan to say a word of light without blame.
The girl called He'er patted the dirt on her hands, swayed to Jiang Shan's side, and said with a heartfelt voice: "I'm my mother's pistachio, if it's as boring as others, my mother won't be bored to death." "For the harem where the rules are so strict that you have to be cautious in your words, the heroic girl in purple doesn't care at all, and blurts out the words that can be called a great rebellion and a rod to death.
There is no way to be so naughty with this daughter of his own, Jiang Shan shook his head and sighed, leaning on the rockery by the lake and sitting on the stone bench,
"Your brother thinks about fighting and fighting every day, and lets me hang every day. You will cause trouble all day long, and cause trouble for me. How can I feed you two enemies who are not angry, and I don't let me worry at all. The girl with a pair of Ruifeng eyes and the mother of the fourteenth prince Wang Jiang has less heroism and more indescribable femininity between her eyebrows, and she does not shy away from holding Jiang Shan's arm and said coquettishly: "You and your father have said since I was a child that I am weak and disease-prone to disease, but now you are complaining that I am not angry." I was at my grandmother's house this time, and they all praised me for my ability to work, and I took care of the horse farm outside Xianyang City. Jiang Shan smiled helplessly: "People who are almost twenty years old, this little thing is worth showing off?" ”
"That's better than Wang Jiang. In addition to fighting, he is fighting, he is as strong as a cow, and he can't let the night king scold him at every turn, Wang Jiang is not angry. "The girl is strong in words, and her verbal work is really amazing.
"Wang He, you have a bad tongue when you say bad things about people behind your back." After the rockery, Wang Jiang, the fourteenth prince, walked out, dressed in bright silver armor, dazzling, quite sassy, and made a gesture towards his mother, and ignored him to glare at the woman called Wang He, and said: "Mother, I just received an order from my father in the military camp to let my son go to Wudang early tomorrow morning to welcome the lotus pond into Beijing, and I am here to bid you farewell." Later, I will go to Beiya to transfer people and horses, and I will not come back at night. ”
"To Wudang?" The princess named Wang He was overjoyed, and her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.
"Take me with you, I'll give you half of the monthly money this month."
"River!" Jiang Shan was really angry this time, the phoenix's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that the only remaining princess in the palace who had not yet married hurriedly shut up, secretly stuck out her tongue, pretended to ignore it, and walked aside to continue teasing the koi in the lake.
Waiting for his daughter to go away, Jiang Shan turned to Wang Jiang and said softly: "A few days ago, I heard that the Lotus Pond of Qi Luck withered, what happened?" "When it comes to such secrets, I can't let Wang He's big mouth listen to it, otherwise when the time comes, don't talk about the entire palace city, I'm afraid the entire capital will be boiling.
Wang Jiang glanced at his sister who was going to eavesdrop, but he just glared, and the quirky girl unceremoniously stuck out her tongue at her brother and waved her small fist that had no deterrent power.
Wang Jiang then said: "My father also has an edict, asking his sons to secretly investigate, if it is found that there is a traitor, I can cut it first and then play." Jiang Shan sighed, such as her, the attached dragon family, naturally understands the metaphor contained in this, if you really want to talk about Qin Tianjian and these Taoist sects, it can be regarded as a Baolong faction, involving the majesty of the royal family, but also involving the luck of the Great Zhou, especially Jiang Shan, the head of the six palaces, of course, will take this matter as the top priority.
Jiang Shan nodded, and asked again, "How many people did your father allocate to you this time?" ”
"Thirty." Wang Jiang replied truthfully. The queen of a country's graceful head slightly frowned
the word "Sichuan",
"So little? North or South? Naturally, he understood his mother's worries, and Wang Jiang said: "Beiya Qianniuwei, Black Hammer Army." Hearing this, Jiang Shan put away his worries, and traveled thousands of miles, even if it was a portal like them, he was naturally worried, and this time he went out to face unknown dangers, as a mother, Jiang Shan would definitely be afraid that his son would encounter unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Shan advised: "This is going to Wudang, but you must pay more attention to the danger here, you must not be reckless, and you must think twice before acting." Wang Jiang frowned slightly, for him, he only knew about the Taoist Qi Luck Lotus Pond, but when he saw his mother's expression, he felt as if there was something unexpected about it?
is also a good fighter who is used to fighting on the battlefield and licking blood from the tip of the knife, so he will not care too much about his mother's instructions, but only as a nagging before each departure, Wang Jiang said: "Follow my mother's teachings." Knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, she naturally saw that her son's left ear went in and out of his right ear, Jiang Shan sighed, which could not be told, after all, it was very involved, and she was also afraid of causing unnecessary panic, she said: "I heard that your sister and the third brother are in Wudang, pay more attention to his sister and brother, a few days ago, there was news that the third watch was also injured, and as soon as he appeared, he tossed blindly, and the king of the backer went down the luminous monument again, I am afraid that it is not very peaceful." Wang Jiang said yes.
Wang He, who had just quieted down next to him, lowered his head and kicked the gravel on the ground again, his eyes rolling. Seeing that his mother did not give too many instructions, Wang Jiang said goodbye and left, and went to the Beiya station to draw some manpower, but halfway through, he saw a female official in her thirties entering the imperial garden.
Wang Jiang naturally knew that this was the dowry maid who entered the palace with his mother, and later his mother gave him the title of queen, and the position of the dowry maid was naturally rising, and he was already the head of the six bureaus and twenty-four divisions of the harem.
The female official bowed down and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness Jiang." Wang Jiang couldn't help frowning,
"Steward Chun, what else is there to find the queen mother in this situation?" The female official who was called the steward of Chun and the surname Jiang of the master's family hurriedly said: "It's all trivial things, don't dare to pollute His Highness Jiang's ears." Wang Jiang's eyebrows were deeper,
"I came back after the New Year, and it has been more than ten days now, except for the necessary request for you in the harem, why do I have to see you several times a day? No matter the time or the occasion. Hearing the slight anger in the tone of the fourteen princes, Jiang Chun, a female official who knew the rules of the harem, hurriedly knelt down and said with sincere fear: "Your Highness forgives your sins, and your officials know their mistakes." ”
"Pay more attention in the future, explain what is going on, the queen mother finally rested, and you came to bother again." It's just that without waiting for Wang Jiang to say anything deeper, Jiang Shan has already stepped over and excused his sister, who has been with him for more than 30 years, and said: "Okay, okay, there are so many people in the palace, who can guarantee that something won't go wrong?" That's what I do, isn't it right for your Aunt Chun to look for me? ”
"I can't wait to grow up in your palace all day long, and I can't find you for big and small things? So what else do you want her to do as a female official? Wang Jiang's complaint made the female official stand neither kneeling nor kneeling, and she was in a dilemma.
Jiang Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, don't bother me here, delay your father and let your father punish you with silver." Knowing that her mother was stubborn, she stopped saying a word at the moment, bowed slightly, and strode away.
