Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 579 Chengyuan Prologue ([-])

After a few thunderclaps, the rain fell slowly, gradually changing from small to large, and gradually formed a rain curtain.

The rain in summer is always so helpless, it comes suddenly, and then leaves suddenly.

The rainwater washed the streets, washed away all the dust, and then flowed into the underground waterway, and finally discharged into the river of eight waters.And there, a dam is being built.In order to cope with possible natural disasters, as soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he had no time to remember his father's great achievements in a sad mood, so he immediately decreed to build a dam.

A group of science and engineering dogs who are about to graduate from the engineering department of Qingshan Academy are following their predecessors to survey the terrain and calculate the amount of materials used. This is the topic of their graduation thesis.

No amount of rain can stop their enthusiasm.The new emperor puts more emphasis on science, which is undoubtedly great news for a group of Frankensteins.They have been dormant for many years, now it's time for science to shine in Datang!

In Anren Hall, Yang Xiaoran had just finished greeting the concubines, but Zhao Si hurried in and whispered a few times in Yang Xiaoran's ear.Yang Xiaoran frowned and asked, "Are you still unwilling to use the decoction?"

Zhao Si nodded, and replied: "Concubine Xu can't sleep peacefully every night because of her great behavior as the emperor, and she has no appetite. She even refuses to take decoctions. Concubine Wu has visited several times and persuaded her many times, but it was useless."

Yang Xiaoran was silent for a while, and Cui Yuhe said from the sidelines: "Sister, some childless concubines have shaved their hair and resigned, praying for the emperor Daxing. Those who are left behind are all heirs. Concubine Wei Taigui and other concubines with sons will not be here soon." She will also set off to return to the fiefdom with her son. Concubine Xu is ordered by the emperor to stay in the palace with permission, and I am grateful for her heart of martyrdom. But at this time, if she dies from a real illness, it doesn't seem to be very good."

After a pause, he continued: "After all, there are too many sad things these days. If something happens to Concubine Xu again, she wants to make people sad..."

Lu Shuhui also nodded, "The imperial concubine's words are justified, if the empress or empress also goes to visit for a while, I can't really just watch Dowager Xu go on like this..."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, and then looked at these "wives" of her husband, feeling very weird.

Li Shimin left, and his wives naturally went their separate ways.Those with sons left the palace, those without sons and only daughters lived in the palace, and the rest became monks.And they are elders, so naturally they don't have to spend morning and evening Dingxing to say hello to themselves.Of course, the only ones who came to say hello every day were the newly appointed concubines.

This feels so weird.It was obviously a group of people who replaced the throne, and had nothing to do with Li Chengqian.But they seem to be very happy to come to pay their respects every day, and they are also satisfied with their new title.Even Cui Yulan was beaming. She had lived in the East Palace Lenggong for too long, was released, and there was a Jieyu Dangdang, she seemed very satisfied.

And most of the others have the same thoughts as her.Anyway, whether it is the former princess or the current empress, they will never cheat them in life, nor will they come to trouble them.The neglect in the East Palace for many years has also extinguished the ambitions of this group of people. Now they only want to live in peace and contentment until they grow old, and they only hope that the emperor will die in the future. For the sake of being widows for many years, they will not be allowed to be together. Nun, can live in the palace forever.

Yang Xiaoran even talked to them in private, intending to arrange an identity for them and go out of the palace to live.As a result, a group of concubines cried to death and swore viciously that they would never dare to rob the queen of their husbands.This made Yang Xiaoran speechless, he could only touch his nose, comfort him with kind words, and then fled.

"Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui are right, so let me go and visit with me."

"I would like to obey the imperial edict of the empress..."

A group of people got up and went to the palace where Xu Hui lived. Before they got close, they heard a group of people running out yelling, "It's not good! The concubine vomited blood, hurry up, call a doctor..."

A group of palace servants, Xiao Huangmen, ran out, and when they saw the queen, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, "The empress..."

"What are you panicking about?!"

Yang Xiaoran frowned, "Get up."

After a pause, he asked again: "How is Concubine Xu?"

"Return to the Empress's words..."

The chief supervisor in Xu Hui Palace replied tremblingly: "The concubine has not eaten water or rice for the past few days, and weeps day and night, she vomited just now, she vomited blood..."

Cui Yuhe turned her head to the side, wiped away her tears quietly, and murmured: "Concubine Xu has such a deep affection for Emperor Daxing, it's really touching..."

Lu Shuhui and the others couldn't help nodding.

The depth of Xu Hui's feelings for Li Shimin is beyond the imagination of the world, which is embarrassing.

Yang Xiaoran raised his foot and said, "I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he entered the gate of Xu Hui's palace and went straight to her bedroom.Seeing Yang Xiaoran coming, Xu Hui struggled to get up, "Empress Empress..."

"Don't move..."

Yang Xiaoran sat beside her bed and supported her on the soft pillow. Seeing that Xu Hui looked haggard with sunken eye sockets, how could he still see his old style?

Sighing: "What's the matter with Concubine Xu? You can't be resurrected after death. Father praised you for your intelligence and empress Wende's demeanor in the past. It is your talent and intelligence that he likes. How come you are so stupid today? If father The emperor has a spirit in the sky, how can he bear you like this?"

Xu Hui's eyes seemed a little dull, and only when he heard Li Shimin's eyes did he have a little light, and then he became sad, and murmured: "But, but then, that's my husband..."

In a word, the hearts of all the people present were sour, and they turned their heads to wipe away their tears.

Yang Xiaoran grabbed her hand, took out an embroidered handkerchief, and wiped away the blood from her mouth.Feeling her pulse, after a while, he said: "You are depressed because you can't vent your heart, and your anger is stagnant, which hurts your spleen; spleen deficiency hurts your stomach. How can you not vomit blood like this cycle? Come, pass on the order of my palace, go Cook a bowl of wolfberry and millet porridge for Concubine Xu, and I will feed it myself..."

"Empress, why bother?"

With tears in his eyes, Xu Hui leaned on the soft pillow and said weakly: "I know my fate is not long. My husband has gone, and I have taken my slave's heart with me. What is left behind is nothing but an empty shell, like flesh and blood. , it would be better to go with His Majesty, once everything is settled, and Xu Hui will not be tortured in the world..."

"What nonsense?"

Yang Xiaoran patted her hand, "You are still young, how can you think like this? Father will definitely not want to see you like this..."

Then he took out the porcelain bottle and said, "Bring warm water..."

Seeing the porcelain bottle in Yang Xiaoran's hand, Xu Hui hurriedly shook his head, "A lowly concubine, how can I use my mother's magic medicine?"

Yang Xiaoran smiled and said: "This magical medicine is urgently needed to save people. If you leave it alone, it will be useless after a while. Isn't it a waste? Come on, be obedient and drink the medicine. You can't stop using it. Before my father died He once took care of me, and you must take good care of me. If you make mistakes, how can I explain to my father’s spirit in heaven? Even those concubines who have shaved their hair and obeyed nuns, after the three-year filial piety period, they will also be sent home... ..."

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Those poor people can be considered lucky for three lives to be cared for by the mother."

After a pause, he pressed Yang Xiaoran's hand that was about to mix the medicine, shook his head, with determination in his eyes, and said, "I beg your mother to do it..."

Yang Xiaoran froze for a moment, looked at the determination in Xu Hui's eyes, lowered his head, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh.Putting away the porcelain vase, she stood up slowly, and murmured: "If you seek benevolence, you will be benevolent, and if you seek death, you will be killed. Concubine Xu has a deep affection for Emperor Daxing. Anyway, I will help you. It's just that whether you succeed or not depends on God's will." .My palace is now asking for an order to enter the family temple and tell the ancestors, whether you live or die depends on God's will!"

Then he looked at Xu Hui again, "You don't need to take medicine, but food must be taken. If you can recover without medicine, it's because father doesn't want you to die; if you can't make it through, it's God's will..."

Xu Hui nodded, struggled to get up and gave a salute, "Thank you, Empress, for your success..."

"You take a rest and recuperate, I will come to see you later...you don't need to get up..."

As Yang Xiaoran said, he took all the concubines out and went all the way, Lu Shuhui couldn't help but said: "Madam, I'm afraid Taifei Xu won't be able to survive this..."

Yang Xiaoran looked at the sky and murmured: "It all depends on God's will... I hope I can get through it..."

A group of concubines who have never been favored, except Cui Yuhe, couldn't help feeling sad.

It was as if he had seen his own future.

Yang Xiaoran looked up at the sky for a while before saying: "Prince, where are you now?"

"If you go back to your mother, you are still studying in the Hongwen Museum..."

"You all step back and rest, I'm going to see the prince..."

"Yes……"

After the group of people retreated, someone immediately fetched a sedan chair, and Yang Xiaoran got on the sedan chair and headed towards Hongwen Hall.

When she walked outside the Hongwen Library, listening to the sound of reading aloud from inside, she couldn't help thinking that she was right here with Li Shimin's prelude.It's just that things are different and people are different. Many years have passed, and the teachers of Hongwen Museum were dead, old and old. Just last month, Kong Yingda, who went home to retire, also passed away.

And Yu Zhining is the only one among the prince's emperor teachers who is still alive.But that's the case, he is 62 years old this year, he has already begged for his bones, and he is ready to go home for the elderly.

Thinking of this, I felt a little melancholy in my heart.

As I grew up, my teachers gradually aged, and some of them passed away.Like Kong Yingda, this old-fashioned gentleman once gave him a lot of help.The Hongwen Museum is still there, but everyone is gone...

Seeing that the queen stopped in front of her, with grief on her face, Zhao Si couldn't help but let out a silent sigh.Even if he is 58 this year, he was only in his 30s when he was assigned to serve in front of the queen, and now he has gone back for so many years.

As people get older, they tend to recall the past more and more.The queen is reminded of the situation when she was studying here, right?

Yang Xiaoran thought for a while, then heaved a long sigh. , how much nostalgia and melancholy are contained in the sigh of this life is like drinking water, only she knows.

After walking a few more steps, I saw that the new generations of Datang were quietly reading books inside. The seriousness on their immature faces indicated that they were the future hope of this empire.The Hongwen Museum not only teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, but also teaches nature in addition to these, which is what Li Chengqian meant.

Children can't be illiterate, they don't want to be proficient but they want to know.Here are all future successors, so there is a long way to go!
Yang Xiaoran looked at it for a long time, then slowly turned around, Zhao Si asked: "Is your empress not going to see the prince anymore?"

Yang Xiaoran shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Let them study hard..."
