Chapter 8: The Family Feast
Emperor Jingyou was slightly stunned.
He immediately looked at the medicinal food in the jade bowl on the dragon case, and then smiled: "Okay, good." Since the Nine Emperors opened Chrysostom, even if it is poison, I will drink it. ”
Su Tang Xiong, one of the Five Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Emperor Jingyou, who was in charge of the life and death luck of countless people, was afraid of drinking medicine. If it weren't for the pain on his father's facial expression when he drank the medicine, Su Hanshan really couldn't believe it at all.
After even the medicine residue was suffocated, Emperor Jingyou coughed several times, and the bitterness in his mouth was extremely bitter.
Seeing this, Su Hanshan was about to step forward, but saw the retreating Wei Diao Temple walking in again with a sweet fruit.
Sure enough, no one knew Emperor Tang's habits better than this Wei Qiansui, and waited for Emperor Jingyou to eat a few sweet fruits, and his frowning eyebrows were stretched.
It made Su Hanshan worry for a while.
Wei Mink Temple put on a yellow robe for Emperor Jingyou, who got up and bypassed the dragon case: "Follow me to the imperial garden." ”
Su Hanshan sideways moved out of the way and respectfully followed behind him.
......
At the beginning of winter, the colorful Imperial Garden is not sluggish. There are not only spring scenery here, but also flowers and landscapes all year round.
Walking on the gravel paved path, Emperor Jingyou took his hands on his shoulders and suddenly remembered something: "Father has assigned you a marriage." ”
Su Hanshan, who was half a shoulder behind, couldn't believe his ears: "Marriage?"
Emperor Jingyou walked to the pavilion next to the Lotus Lake in the imperial garden and sat down, and glanced up at Su Hanshan: "Listening to your tone, it seems reluctant?"
Where is this a matter of reluctance.
Su Hanshan didn't know what to say.
He has only been in the sky for two days, and he has not yet been accustomed to the extremely poor identity transformation of the little monk of Taohuashan Temple to the Nine Emperors of Su Tang, and he has not yet become familiar with each other, so he has a daughter-in-law inexplicably?
I couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
Seeing that Su Hanshan was silent, Emperor Jingyou said: "In front of my father, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't learn from your fourth brother, you can't get a fart out for a long time. ”
Su Hanshan does have a lot to say.
Since his father spoke, he simply took this opportunity to talk about his thoughts. Fathers and sons also have to get to know each other better sooner or later, right?
Emperor Jingyou knocked on the table.
Su Hanshan sat down next to his father: "Actually, Erchen doesn't like these. ”
Emperor Jingyou was a little surprised by Su Hanshan's direct attitude. Among so many children, this kid was the first to dare to speak to himself like this.
Emperor Jingyou, who crossed the rivers and lakes with a sword when he was young, also liked this kind of spontaneity: "Don't like this marriage?"
Su Hanshan was not shy about saying: "Since the sons and daughters entered Beijing, or to be precise, since they left Gusu City, my father has arranged many things. There are those who know, and there are those who don't. The son could understand his father's good intentions, but the father did not ask the son about his wishes. ”
"Do you need this, do you like it...... My father didn't even ask. ”
Emperor Jingyou was not angry, and said with a smile: "You should tell your father what you like and what you don't like?"
Su Hanshan said: "In the Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, no one has any rules that can restrain the sons. Master listened to me very much, and those monks and monks in the Zenkong Temple were either the same as the sons or the younger generations of the sons, and the sons were used to being chic and free. Although he has not been accompanied by his relatives for 15 years, he is truly happy to live. ”
"If the father paves the way for his sons in the future, this will only make his sons feel that they are a puppet, without thoughts, without desires, at the mercy of others. ”
Emperor Jingyou was surprised: "You are young, you have a lot of ideas." It seems that my father did something wrong?"
Su Hanshan said: "The sons understand the will of the father. But please also ask the father to have some confidence in his son, no matter whether the road is bumpy or smooth, the son can deal with it by himself. ”
Emperor Jingyou laughed, pointed to Su Han Mountain, looked at Wei Diao Temple and said, "You listen, you listen...... It's really a little Zen in the Southern Dynasty, this mouth talks about the big truth, and I am speechless. ”
Su Hanshan, who was extremely intelligent, heard the meaning of his father's words, and said in surprise: "Father agreed?"
Emperor Jingyou said, "Can I do it if I don't agree? Your stubborn temper is exactly the same as your mother's. ”
Not long after Su Hanshan was born, his mother, Concubine Zhao, died of illness. It was only later when he grew up that he heard about it by chance from the prince.
Su Hanshan was silent for a moment and said, "Queen Mother, what kind of person is she?"
A smile appeared in the corner of Emperor Jingyou's eyes, and a figure in red appeared in his mind......
......
The father and son chatted for more than two hours in the garden, and did not delay any longer as the sky grew dark and twilight arrived.
Emperor Jingyou took Su Hanshan towards the Yangju Palace.
In fact, today, Emperor Tang not only summoned Su Hanshan, the Nine Emperor Princes. Except for the seven princes Su Musha, who commanded the army in the north to defend against the enemy, the rest of the princes and the three princesses, plus several high-status concubines in the harem, had been waiting in the palace for a long time.
Just wait for His Majesty and the Nine Emperor Princes to arrive.
Su Tang has no queen.
Originally, in Emperor Jingyou's heart, the position of the queen belonged to Concubine Zhao, but Concubine Zhao died of illness fifteen years ago, and the lord of the harem has been hanging since then.
Several concubines knew Concubine Zhao's status in His Majesty's heart, and they did not dare to covet it.
And Emperor Jingyou has no intention of establishing a queen, and now he has been sick for a long time.
The throne will be passed on, and it will be done after it is established.
......
The palace was bustling with activity.
Many princes and concubines talked and laughed, and they looked extremely harmonious.
In this harmonious atmosphere, there are two figures that seem a little out of place, no one cares, and there is no intention of actively participating in small talk.
The first is the fourth prince Su Yunchan.
In the eyes of many people, the four princes who are pure-hearted and don't care about court affairs belong to the kind of people with their strange personalities and temperaments.
Never negotiate with people, and others don't want to take the initiative to come and touch nails.
The other is the tenth princess Su Nuannuan, who is about thirteen years old.
It is said that mothers are more expensive than children, Su Nuannuan's biological mother had a humble status and died early, coupled with the forbearance character that this girl has been accustomed to all kinds of bullying since she was a child, causing her to rarely have contact with people in the palace, and there is a heart of resistance.
If it weren't for Taishi Li Guochu seeing this girl's kindness and intelligence, and admitting her to the Danyuan Academy Palace to listen to teaching, it is unknown whether she would be able to live to the age of thirteen.
Like everyone in this Cultivation Palace, the Tenth Princess Su Nuannuan was also very curious about Su Hanshan, the Nine Emperor Brother who had been born with a damaged Yuan God since he was a child and was sent to the Hanshan Temple of the Southern Dynasty to grow up.
Otherwise, it will be summoned by her father, and she will also find a reason to leave the Danyuan Academy, and she will never appear here. She also wanted to see what the Nine Emperor Brothers, who had been making trouble in Tiandu City for several months, were all kinds of rumors.
Su Nuannuan sat near the temple gate with her head down, her thin figure looking lonely.
It didn't take long for the voice of Wei Mink Temple outside the door to come: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Before the voice fell, Wei Mink Temple accompanied Emperor Jingyou and strode in.
After Emperor Jingyou took his seat, Su Nuannuan raised his head, got up with everyone in the palace, and bowed to His Majesty.
Tonight was supposed to be a family feast, so naturally there was no need for so much red tape. After Emperor Jingyou motioned for everyone to return to their seats, he summoned Su Hanshan, the ninth prince, to enter the palace.
For a while, dozens of eyes looked at the night outside the hall.
Su Nuannuan's bright eyes were also rare to stare at the palace gate.
After a few breaths, a figure appeared in everyone's eyes under the light of the lamp and candle.
