The first snow of the winter was heavy.

There was no movement at night, and it was quiet everywhere. It's just that when I woke up again, the majestic palace was already covered with a layer of white frost.

Thick snow rustled when stepping on it.

The sky has been bright, the snow has not stopped, the goose feather snow has fallen from the obscure mid-air, the white snow with thunder, shaking the windows of the Taihe Palace.

Du Zhiyan woke up from the soft couch in Taihe Palace, looked up at the dark yellow tent roof, and only felt that his body was very hot.

When the snow fell at night, Gao Rang was afraid that Du would be cold, so he added enough charcoal fire to the copper furnace.

The charcoal fire will scorch the Taihe Palace, just like the time when you enter the palace at the beginning of summer and live in the Yongfu Hall to count the pear blossoms.

After breakfast, Du Zhiyan took out the letters written to her by the emperor from the box, a total of three.

The first letter was ten days after the emperor's departure, the other was when the little princess was full moon, and the last letter was twenty days ago.

In the past 20 days, there has been no news from the emperor.

Du Zhiyan stroked his stomach, after all, he was a little worried.

Gao Rang held the tea and looked out according to Du Weiyan's gaze, the palace was deep and the snow was even bigger.

"Maybe it's because the road is difficult, and the rain and snow in Beiding are heavy, so the emperor's letter is late." Gao Jean comforts.

There was a noise outside the curtain.

Du Zhiyan hurriedly put the letter into the box, and locked the box and placed it in the secret compartment.

It's the deputy history of Qin Tianjian who is here.

Du Zhiyan was a little puzzled, why did the people from Qin Tianjian come here.

However, Chen Guoqin's level of Tianjian is average, and the accuracy rate is not as high as that of weather forecasts.

Du only said that he was not convinced.

But since it's here, let's listen to it.

Qin Tianjian Deputy Shi wiped the snow on his forehead: "Your Majesty, there is thunder in winter." ”

"I hear you."

"Does the emperor know what the winter thunder represents?"

"What does it represent?"

"It means that when it snows, there is thunder."

Du only rolled his eyes.

Gao Rang shook the dust and hung a face: "Vice Master Shi, are you joking with the emperor?" The emperor has all the opportunities, how can he have the kung fu to listen to you say that there is no beginning and no end. ”

Deputy Shi was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it may be that the minister didn't make it clear." The minister means that the heavy snow falls at night, which is auspicious, but the winter snow is wrapped in thunder, which is not a good sign. According to the historical records, next spring, I am afraid that many people will die. ”

"Do you have credentials?"

"Minister...... I haven't thought of ...... yet."

"What else is there to report?"

"Not for now."

"Stand down." Du Zhiyan waved his hand.

Qin Tianjian Deputy Shi kowtowed and retreated.

There were a few more thunderclaps outside the curtain.

The winter thunder is not as loud as the summer thunder, and the sound is muffled, like someone is secretly beating the drum.

As the thunder sounded, the snow grew heavier.

There is another thick layer on the steps of Taihe Palace.

The snow on his face wet the curtain of Taihe Palace, and the high lord flashed in and gave Du Zhiyan some tea.

"Gao Rang, what do you think of Qin Tianjian's words?"

"The people of Qin Tianjian have always loved to scare the emperor, and thunder in winter is not uncommon, how can it be as serious as Qin Tianjian said, the slave remembers when he was a child, about five or six years old, that winter the snow was very heavy, the thunder was very loud, the harvest was not good in the summer of the second year, and seventy or eighty people died in the village."

Du Zhiyan: Gao makes you quite hidden.

You can hold back such important information.

"How many people are there in your village?"

"About 100 people." Gao Rang pinched his fingers and counted: "Speaking of the hundred and ten people, in addition to the seventy or eighty people who died, there were only about twenty people left in the whole village, and at that time they were poor, and they didn't drink enough water to eat three meals a day, and the family really couldn't eat enough, and then the slaves could only be eunuchs." ”

Speaking of which, the thunder of winter is quite terrifying.

Then in the evening, news came from Jingren Palace, saying that the little princess had burned for some reason, and it was burning badly, and her forehead was hot and smoking. was so frightened that the queen's face turned blue.

Du Zhiyan went to see the princess, and did not go back until the princess took the medicine and sweated and subsided some heat.

When I went back, Gao Rang carried a lantern to lead the way in front, about the snow road was slippery, and the sight was not very good, Gao Rang slipped the soles of his feet, and even people flew out with lanterns a few meters away, Gao Rang climbed a few times and didn't get up, and finally got up, only to find that the nosebleeds fell out.

On the second day, it was reported that the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace had a nightmare. Originally, dreams are illusory, nightmares are also accidental, everyone in the world can have nightmares, not only the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was sleepwalking when she had nightmares, and somehow, she hit the Eight Immortals Table and sat on the ground, and her swollen shoes couldn't be worn.

When Du Zhiyan went to see it, although the Queen Mother didn't grin her teeth and shouted pain, but looking at the posture of frowning and gritting her teeth, it is estimated that she fell not lightly, after all, her feet are swollen like that, and she can't deceive people.

"What kind of nightmare did the Queen Mother have?" Du only asked.

The Queen Mother was a little stunned.

"King Yue...... King Yue ....... "The parrots under the corridor are chirping."

Aunt Guan picked up the bamboo pole and covered the cage with a black cloth, and said with a slight debt: "This parrot is a little noisy, it was said that King Yue was sick in Biansai, and the Queen Mother has been very worried, and now there is no news of King Yue for some days, and the Queen Mother is afraid that something will happen." ”

The Queen Mother patted Aunt Guan's hand: "The emperor is busy with official business, why bother to tell him this." King Yue doesn't need to worry about the mourning family now, and the mourning family can't rest assured that it is the palace. ”

"In the palace?"

"What's going on in the palace that the Empress Dowager is worried about?"

"The deputy Shi of Qin Tianjian came to report that the thunder in winter is not a good sign, and there were seven rings the night before."

Qin Tianjian is quite idle.

Everywhere the weather forecast.

not only went to Taihe Palace to broadcast, but also to Cining Palace to broadcast.

An elderly person like the Queen Mother is the easiest to get on.

It's not, the feet are swollen and erect.

"Queen Mother, the thunder in winter is just a natural phenomenon." Du Zhiyan tried to comfort the Queen Mother's heart.

The Queen Mother didn't give it a chance at all.

"What a natural phenomenon, you are young and don't understand the power of it. Back then, the mourning family was still the daughter of the Wei family, and she was only a teenager, and the winter of that year was also the same as now, with snow and thunder, everyone in the capital wondered, why was there such a loud thunder in winter, but just listen, and it passed. ”

"And then?"

"Then, in the spring of the following year, there was an outbreak of a plague in the capital, the plague came fiercely, at first I thought it was an ordinary cold, but then I took the medicine and did not get better, at first one person got sick, then the whole family got sick, and then later, the doctor of the pharmacy also died." The Queen Mother's eyes were red.

Aunt Guan carefully served tea to the Queen Mother.

"That year, tens of thousands of people died in the capital. Even if the imperial doctor in the palace came out to sit for consultation, it was still a lack of skills, and the mourning family remembered that most of the imperial doctors died of illness that year. Do you know if it was caused by the thunder that winter? ”

The Queen Mother painted her voice and color.

Du only said that he wanted to escape with his legs between his legs.

Because according to the practice of talking between the emperor and the queen mother, under normal circumstances, when encountering any natural or man-made disasters or crises that are difficult to resolve, the courtiers and the queen mother will put this sin on the emperor's head. At best, let the emperor write an edict for his own crimes, or at worst, he can't wait to sacrifice the emperor to heaven.

Winter thunder is no small matter.

We can't talk any more.

If we continue to talk, the Queen Mother may not be able to lead thunder to the emperor's head again.

To be a man, you must be able to grasp the opportunity, you must be able to look at your face, and you must learn to take precautions and strike first.

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Du only said that he was going to help the door out.

"Why don't you see Gao Rang following you?" The Queen Mother wondered, usually Gao Rang, this intimate little follower, followed the emperor for a moment, why was there a new eunuch next to the emperor this time?

Gao Jean fell out of favor?

"What did Gao Jean do wrong?" The Queen Mother asked.

"He didn't do anything wrong."

"Then why don't you use him?"

"He fell while walking at night."

"Look, look, this time it's Gao Rang who blocked the disaster for the emperor, and the next time it will be the emperor who falls. Sure enough, the thunder in winter is not an auspicious edict, Gao Rang, this minion, is also cautious, he has served by your side for all these years, and he has never made such a mistake. ”

There are two points of truth in what the Queen Mother said.

Gao Rang has served the emperor for many years, and has been diligent, and he rarely makes mistakes, not to mention that he fell in public and his nose was blue and his face was swollen. I'm still drinking medicine now.

Could it be that as Qin Tianjian said, the thunder and the edict are not auspicious in winter, and something ominous is about to happen?

It snowed heavily for three or four days, and there was rarely a stop.

The snow in the palace could hardly be swept away, and every morning as soon as the sky was bright, the eunuchs and palace maids loaded the snow onto the cart and then pushed it to the burial place and piled it up. Later, the snow was so heavy that the burial site could not be accumulated, so it had to be transported out.

The road that had just been swept was soon buried by snow again.

The palace is full of vegetarian.

The golden bell rang eleven times, and Du Zhiyan was a little sleepy.

As soon as I squinted my eyes, I felt a flash outside the curtain, like a figure. Chubby, raw-faced.

"Who?" Du Zhiyan sat up vigilantly.

"It's a minion."

It is the voice of Gorang.

The lights were turned on, the double curtain was opened, only to find that it was Gao Rang, Gao Rang fell that time, and fell straight to the sparks, rested for a day, drank two pairs of medicines, and became more swollen, only one slit remained in his eyes, and his lips were swollen like sausages.

This unlucky appearance seems to be inflated.

No wonder it's unrecognizable through the curtains.

Du Zhiyan wanted him to rest for a few more days.

But Gao let him worry about serving his master, and came to work the night shift again.

Lower the curtain, add some charcoal, and sit cross-legged outside the screen.

Du Zhiyan was lying on the soft golden pillow, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard thunder outside the hall again.

The rumbling thunder came far and near, and counting, there were six.

I can't count the first night there was thunder.

At the beginning, it was the deputy historian of Qin Tianjian who came to report that the winter thunder was unlucky.

As long as the morning meeting was held, the hundred officials talked about the matter of the winter thunder, and said that the queen mother fell is a big ominous, it must be related to the winter thunder, and some people have an idea to ask the emperor to go to the temple to pray for incense.

Du only said that he didn't want to go anywhere, let alone go out of the palace.

After all, now she is pretending to be the emperor, pretending to be the emperor, and she has no bottom in her heart, what if she can't come back after leaving the palace? Isn't that dangerous? Before the emperor came back from Beiding, no one wanted to trick her out of the palace.

The thunder was loud this night.

It exploded on the top of the head, and the shock made people's ears numb.

Gao Rang heard this fierce thunder, and couldn't help but touch his swollen and deformed face.

Du Zhiyan was also slightly worried.

Such a loud thunder, it is conceivable that on the second day of the court, Qin Tianjian plus civil and military officials, each can write a small composition of 800 words, last time was to criticize the emperor for refusing to go out of the palace to pray for incense, this time I may not want to play the emperor to invite the wizard into the palace to exorcise evil spirits.

It's just that I didn't expect that on the morning of the second day, before I had a morning meeting for the civil and military officials, I waited for the news that King Yue was going to enter the palace, and he took the emperor into the palace.

The news came in from Gao Rang.

When the secret guard told Gao Rang the news, Gao Rang was watching the palace maid and eunuch sweep the snow outside the hall, and when he heard the news, Gao Rang almost lost his soul.

He flashed into the inner hall, and said a few words to Du Zhiyan, Du Zhiyan looked down at his Ming Huang dragon robe, and decisively ordered Gao Rang to close the door of Taihe Palace and prepare women's clothes and jewelry.

Gao Rang sent a message to Du Zhiyan, saying that the emperor and the king of Yue had arrived at Shenwumen, and Shenwumen was guarded by a forbidden army, but for some reason, it seemed that the people of King Yue and the people of Shenwumen still had some conflicts. Later, King Yue led his troops into the palace, and the secret guard squatted on the eaves and saw it, and hurried back to report, at this time, I am afraid that King Yue and others will soon arrive at Taihe Palace.

Did King Yue return to the dynasty?

The emperor is also back?

Defeated the nomads and the Yoro so quickly?

The emperor's flag is victorious?

If this is the case, the emperor can return to the palace with a swagger, why should he open the way for the king? Why is there an emperor, and King Yue has a conflict with the guards of Shenwumen? You must know that King Yue's character has always been very good, kind, good, and very majestic, and the evaluation of him by the people in the palace is A-level, and the evaluation of the emperor is only B.

Things are abnormal, and there is a demonic spirit.

Du Zhiyan made a decision immediately, turned off the voice changer, removed the disguise technique, changed back into women's clothes, coiled her hair in a bun, wore a hairpin ring, and she in the bronze mirror became Du Concubine Niangniang again.

She thought in her heart, if the emperor returned to the palace with King Yue and happened to meet her, the fake emperor, how to explain it? Pretending to be the emperor, a capital crime, when there are two emperors, won't she and Min Jian be more auspicious? Are not the things of these days to be exposed?

Therefore, it is necessary to remedy it before it is exposed.

Fortunately, there are three points of color, pink and white skirts, covered with silver-red jackets, dark red plum blossom-shaped silver hairpins have a bit of a quaint atmosphere, it looks unassuming, not outstanding, but also not wrong.

The clothes are not expensive, the jewelry is not expensive, and the whole body depends on temperament.

Especially sitting behind the long case, holding a brush, dipping some cinnabar and opening the fold, how do you say that, serious men are the most attractive, well, yes.

Gao Rang was so anxious that he shook the dust: "Du Concubine Niangniang ....."

"What's wrong?"

"You are now a concubine, you can't sit there and correct the excerpts, let outsiders see them, and you have to refer to several copies."

Ah yes.

When the emperor is used to it, he squats on the emperor's throne every day.

After a while, the habit is not easy to change.

Whether it is a fold, or a brush, or the golden bell of Taihe Palace, avocado incense, calligraphy and painting, screens, she has touched and touched, familiar can not be more familiar, here is more comfortable than in Wanru Palace, completely do not treat yourself as an outsider.

I can't be here, in case it's exposed.

Look at the sky, it's almost.

"Let's go to the morning court." Du only blurted out.

The dust in Gao Rang's hand flickered: "Du Concubine Niangniang, it was the emperor's work in the early court, you are not the emperor now, don't dare to mention the matter of going to the court again." ”

Thank you Qinghe Xiaoxian, I have been voting for the recommendation, thank you very much.
