A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 23 Forbidden Court (23)
With an expression of killing herself, she stood on tiptoe and pecked his right cheek with lightning speed. (3)
At the moment before falling to the bottom of the lake, she looked up through the sparkling water waves, and he stood there, only a distorted silhouette remained.The long hair dancing in the water blocked her sight, gradually dragging her into the darkness.

When the first emperor was seriously ill, the daily lectures in Ruisi Hall were not interrupted, and the crown prince was still in court, so everything was handed over to the prince to preside over it.At that time, some officials had already advised that King Su was powerful, and the prince should cut his power.The prince was very hesitant, and said many times, "The eldest brother is my brother, and the military administration is temporarily in charge of King Su, so I don't have to worry about it."

It's not a good thing to be in charge of someone else's house. You can either repay the government or add a yellow robe to your body. There is no compromise.When Ba Tuan Lian came, he probed him, "Brother has worked hard for many years, how could he put the meat he got into someone else's bowl."

He also calculated in his heart, but in fact he was a little vacillating, and finally decided to return the military power to the prince.

The scenery of the East Palace is always better than that of Duanli Pavilion. A pear tree is planted in the courtyard, and the flowers are all in bloom in April and May. Standing under the tree, a gust of wind blows, and a rain of flowers blooms in the sky.He was waiting under the pear tree with a military talisman. At that time, the crown prince was discussing the state affairs with the senior scholars. Gao Pin stepped forward and saluted him, asking him to come to the pavilion to wait.He sat down in front of the window, opened the window to look out, and saw Xiao Huangmen hurrying past the middle road with letters in his hands, so he asked: "Second brother (the princes of the Song Dynasty call each other uniformly brother or sister) still have correspondence with Suiguo? "

Gao Pin's name is Yan Hui, and he has a deep friendship with the escort squad in his pavilion.Taking a look at the opportunity, he said with a smile: "The crown prince has a confidante in Jian'an, and after returning to Bianliang for more than two months, there was a letter the next day."

He was noncommittal, leaning on the armrest and sipping tea.Yan Gaopin said again: "It is said that he is from Jian'an City. He is three years younger than the prince, and he is thirteen years old. There are portraits hanging in the Prince's Pavilion. I was lucky enough to see it. It really is the beauty of the country and the city. Hearing the prince and Ankang County King, wait Next year, when the young lady turns fourteen, she will report back to the officials to know that she will be ushered in as a princess."

"Second brother has a deep friendship with the King of Ankang." He raised his eyes to look at him, holding the teacup and asked, "What else did you say?"

Yan Gaopin turned around to look outside, there was no idler coming and going, and said: "The crown prince invited the county kings to have a drink together that day. He once talked about the titles of the kings, and the clans are all named after the land. When it comes to His Highness..." He rubbed his nose embarrassingly, " The king of the county said that the official family has not confiscated the land to His Royal Highness for a long time, and it is waiting for the crown prince to dispose of it in the future. When the crown prince ascends the throne, His Highness will be the first to change his title. As for what to change, the crown prince is welcome to decide. There are small towns around Bianliang, Duxian Or Chen Liu...it doesn't matter."

His mind was confused, "Duxian, Chenliu..." Those are places with a population of less than [-]. I have never heard of a prince having such a fief in ancient times. It would be a shame and a shame to really promulgate an edict. .

Yan Gaopin took half a step forward, "Your Highness... think carefully."

He sighed softly, "What did the prince say?"

Yan Gaopin shook his head slowly, "The prince just smiled and said nothing."

At this time, Huangmen came to communicate, and the prince asked His Royal Highness to speak.He stood up, casually dropped the teacup in his hand, and the tea was poured out, almost all over the place.

The crown prince has been in Sui for many years, and he has a good handwriting. When he entered the door, he was writing at his desk, with two pieces of plum-blossom paper spread beside his hand, on which were the neat and beautiful small script of a woman.Seeing him coming, he raised his head and smiled, his face as gentle as jade, comparable to spring in March.He tapped the pen holder and said, "Brother, sit down, wait for me for a while, the writing is almost finished."

He sat down and looked over, the prince's handwriting is beautiful and beautiful, penetrating three points, he said: "Second brother studied under Sui Qiang, Sui Xianggong Feibai is a master, invite a few direct students someday, let's discuss and learn from each other."

The crown prince was also perfunctory, without even raising his head, he just said yes, "I heard that elder brother's brushwork is vivid, and that a copy of "Yuanhuan Tie" is as good as the original, and even my father praised it greatly. I'm free, in two days the scholar-officials will have a talk, and then I will definitely ask elder brother for advice... elder brother is here today, is there anything you can do?"

He murmured, "It's nothing important, it's about prohibition (a method used by the ancient Chinese government to monopolize certain commodities and restrict private commercial trade in order to expand fiscal revenue). Before Dad got sick, he was limited to half a year. Now The time limit is up, if it should be resolved, please ask the prince to decide."

Later... still deviated from the original intention of this trip.He finally didn't have to hand over his military power against his will and become that ridiculous King Chenliu and King Duxian.Going against the trend is easy to get.

The casement of the window was opened, and the mist spread, enveloping the person chaotically, making it difficult to even raise one's hand.There were footsteps behind him, and he turned around, "What's the matter?"

Yan Hui stepped forward and said, "Spit out two more mouthfuls of water, and now I'm awake, do you want the officials to go and have a look?"

He didn't move, "Are you making trouble?"

Yan Hui said: "It's not making trouble, it's just being frightened and not in good spirits. The officials should give some words of relief. No matter what, the saint is always the queen."

He lowered his head, stared at the shoes on his feet for a long time, and said after a long while: "Take some lessons to grow your memory."

Yan Hui muttered, knowing that he shouldn't talk too much at this time, so he fell silent.

Yicui Building is surrounded by bamboo forests, and lanterns are hung high in front of the gate, which can illuminate the stone-paved path.He passed through the Huanshan Pavilion, the door was ajar, no one was allowed to go inside, and when he entered the door, he heard her sobbing, "I want to go back to Sui Kingdom."

He stood still outside the curtain, unable to see her face, only the Miao Nei people sat in front of her bed, and said with relief: "It's all over, but fortunately nothing happened. This was an accident, it's better not to say anything. I can't talk about it anymore." The country of Sui is gone, how do you go back, you are already the queen of Dayue."

She sighed, "I know, I'm just a little scared. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to survive."

Miao Nei said: "The officials saved you, it's a great fortune among misfortunes. Take good care of yourself, and you'll be fine in two days."

"Guan Jia..." She snorted softly, "Guan Jia is really a good person."

He didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Chunwo closes the window, sees no one in the room from the gap, turns her head and says, "Let's go."

She stood up and leaned against the fence and said, "He was warning me, I know. Maybe he noticed something, he has always been wary of me."

Chunwo was never optimistic about this matter, but she didn't listen to people's persuasion, so she suffered this dark loss.Seeing her feeling distressed like this, she sighed: "He is not an easy person to deal with, why do you have to make such a difficult problem for yourself! Did something go wrong in the Kuayun Pavilion earlier and let him find out?"

She frowned and said: "I didn't do anything, I wanted to do something, but I hesitated for a while, and the opportunity was missed."

Chunwo was startled, and couldn't think of any other reason, but said: "Maybe he has other considerations, at least you are much luckier than Zhou Yanei."

"The newly married queen drowned, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the people in the world." Yan Hua snuggled into her arms and murmured, "I'm very scared, not because I'm afraid of death, but because of him. If I can go back on my word now, I will I wish I didn't come to make a kiss. Why should I come to be the queen, it's really not worth it."

Chunwo caressed her on the back, "I persuaded you at that time, did you listen? Now that you have reached this point, regretting is the most useless thing. I don't know what the officials think. If you can let the past go, you will forget about it." Kill King Huai Si, and stop thinking about avenging him, it won't work."

Her tears welled up, "You must think I'm stupid, but I have no way out, even if I don't kill him, one day he will kill me."

Chunwo didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to hug her tightly.She was really scared this time, but why are Imakami's eyes everywhere?It seems that he knows her every move, is there a thief in Yongjin Palace?Time photo?After thinking about it, it doesn't make sense, the Huangmen are all waiting outside, and they can't come into the inner hall without being summoned.Even the Shang Palace sent by the Empress Dowager is not a personal attendant, there are only a few of them in the inner hall, so the news cannot be spread.

She looked down at her, she shrank, her face under the lamp was terribly pale.She pulled the thin quilt to put on her, and said in a low voice, "The dragon and phoenix bracelet can no longer be used. In two days, I will send it to the Zaozuo Institute to be transformed and remade into other jewelry. If you can't stay in Genyue, you will Please go back to the palace! Take a good rest during this time, don't think about anything, don't think about Yun Guan, and don't think about the official family. You will learn a lot of wisdom, and you have to think carefully about how to go in the future."

She closed her eyes and didn't answer her.Stayed in the Yicui Building for one night, and hurried back to the Forbidden Court the next day.After returning home, he suffered from serious illness, frightened and cold, and was dizzy and unconscious for a time.When she was ill, she heard that the Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine and several ladies had also visited, and she would rather pretend to be asleep than speak.The fear gradually subsided, just feeling lost.It's a bit inexplicable to calm down and think about it, who would feel pity for a person who wants to kill himself all the time?When she was trying to poison her, she expected him to save her ashore. Why?As Chunwo said, she should actually be grateful to him.He has the generosity to let her live, even if he pushes the boat to the center of the lake, it doesn't matter anymore.

She lay in bed for several days, slowly recovering.She chose a day to go to Baoci Palace to pay her respects, because the palace was preparing for the Qixi Festival, and she couldn't be like a normal person.

Seeing her coming, the queen mother hurriedly pulled her to sit down on the couch.Looking carefully at her face, it really became smaller and more pitiful.Then he held her hand and said: "That day I heard that the official took you to Genyue, I was very happy in my heart, fortunately he knew how to take care of others, who knew that you fell ill when you came back, what happened? You talk to your wife."

She said nothing happened, "I just caught a cold, and Gen Yue was very foggy. I didn't close the window at night, so I couldn't get up the next day."

The queen mother looked at her, with a smile on her lips, and shook her head very slowly, "You lied to me. I am in the Forbidden Court, but I am not blind and deaf. Did you pick water chestnuts on the lake that day?"

Yun Hua was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty..."

The Empress Dowager stood up, slowly moved to the window, fed water to the parrot on the shelf, and said, "Fengchi looks beautiful, and the water in the pool is icy cold, I know that. The Empress is afraid that I will blame her, so she deliberately conceals it, right? "

She hurriedly got up and followed, "Please forgive me, ma'am, I was unsteady and caused the officials to dive into the water to save me."

The Empress Dowager turned around with a serious expression on her face, "You must have heard about the Zhou Yanei matter."

Zihua was a little surprised, but Fushen agreed.

"Zhou Yanei is the grandson of Dr. Zhengyi. He has been an official's companion and has been with him for six years." She went to look at her potted plants again, and changed her tone, "Outsiders say that the official will not save him. I said, the officials did the right thing. Zhou Yanei was disrespectful to him, and once almost blinded him with a slingshot. Why do you keep such a person? He doesn't understand. The grievances and grievances in his heart are very clear. If you don't deserve to let him live, if you don't deserve to die, he is also tolerant. The queen is not a dispensable person in the eyes of officials. He actually loves you. , the queen is not aware of it."

When she heard this, her heart pounded.The Empress Dowager seemed to know something, but she just pointed it out and didn't say anything.There really isn't a simple person in this palace, and so is the Queen Mother.

Yun Hua forced a smile, "The officials treat me well, I know it in my heart."

The queen mother nodded her head and said: "The queen is always smart, and she has been sleeping together for thousands of years. The fate is hard-won, so we should cherish the blessings. As a mother, I always look forward to your harmony and beauty. If I can let me embrace the emperor's grandson as soon as possible, that would be the best." After tensing and galloping, he returned to his usual demeanor, turned around and asked Liang Shanggong, "Is all the millet ready to be planted? Don't delay, there will be no sprouts on Qixi Festival, and no grain slabs will be made."

Guban is a gadget for women, just like grinding and drinking music (a kind of clay puppet dedicated to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the Qixi Festival, to beg for cleverness and pray for more children), flower melons, pens and inkstones, it is indispensable in festivals. foil.Take a piece of wood, cover it with soil, and plant millet before the festival to grow into a small field.Then build thatched huts, insert flowers and plants, and make them into farmhouses. On the day of Qixi Festival, everyone can piece them together to form a decent village.

Liang Shanggong came with a bucket of millet and said with a smile: "It's ready, I asked the palace staff to sew a kit, and when it's ready, I will send it to the ladies in each pavilion."

Zihua also likes to do this in his spare time, so he asked Liang Shanggong to put down the bucket and roll up his sleeves to pack the bag himself.Only seven or eight bags were filled, and when I heard the official's arrival at the palace gate, I felt very embarrassed for a moment, and walked around on my feet, and it was not good to welcome, and it was not good not to welcome.
