Queen Sun

Chapter 11 The Empress (1)
In fact, the location of Tianshui Villa was not too far from the other palace where the emperor offered sacrifices to the heavens. From the higher ground in the villa, one could vaguely see the thronging crowd.Ruoshui was originally afraid that the emperor would come to Biezhuang for a while on a whim, but according to the information Danyun obtained from the emperor, it seems that after hearing Sun Simiao's diagnosis, Li Shimin would not allow anyone to disturb the empress' recuperation, and the emperor's The itinerary plan also clearly stated that after offering sacrifices to heaven, he drove straight back to the palace.Ruoshui also teased Danyun privately at that time, saying that His Majesty's every move could not escape Miss Danyun's eyes.Whenever I think about it afterward, Ruoshui always adds another sentence: words, you really can't say too much.

Ruoshui's body is extremely afraid of the cold. I don't know if it is the root cause of the disease left by her elder grandson in the past. Since late autumn, she has been forced to stay indoors, watching the three children playing outside with greedy eyes. She thought of a way out Hold them back, but after a long time, especially Cheng Qian, who is so smart that he sees through his own intentions, and even shows off in front of him with some interesting things from outside.However, the homework that should be done is still indispensable. At the very least, if one day their own hands cannot protect them, they should also be able to protect themselves.Seeing that the embryonic form of a healthy modern single-parent family is about to take shape, at this moment, Ruoshui has to say another sentence: One misstep will cause eternal hatred.

I don't know who said that fate is independent of human will.Sure enough, but what is certain is that this time, the balance of luck did not tilt towards Ruoshui's side.

The winter sun is warm, making people feel warm and at ease.However, the three maids beside the Empress were startled in a cold sweat at this time. His Majesty came so unexpectedly and without any entourage.

Li Shimin looked at the three people kneeling in front of him expressionlessly. They were old people who had served Ruoshui since the eldest grandson's family.After a long time, it seems that there is a bit of empress' indifference. She is obedient and respectful when looking at herself, but her speech and behavior are not humble or overbearing.But now, they who were loyal to Ruoshui knelt in front of them, unable to tell the whereabouts of the queen and the prince.

He stood up, walked to the side and stood with his hands behind their backs, and said indifferently, "Why, are you still refusing to tell the truth? I still want to find myself... the queen who should be resting on the bed." Having said that, He turned around abruptly, and saw the panicked expressions of the three of them, a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth: "I don't want to do anything to you, otherwise, wouldn't Ruoshui be sad?"

Mingxia has the most straightforward temperament. Hearing this, she finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, how can I care about Miss."

Guangyue is the oldest among the three, so she is much calmer. Seeing Mingxia's loss of speech, she hastily dragged her to plead guilty to His Majesty, but Li Shimin didn't care at all, and asked with a smile: "Mingxia , Is this the queen's own concern?"

Mingxia was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to reply, she couldn't say that Miss lived a life like a fairy here.

At this moment, Dan Yun replied slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the queen's illness has gradually improved since she took the prescription left by Dr. Sun. In the next few days, if the weather is good, the empress will send her servants away." Ladies and gentlemen, walk around the Zhuangzi with the Crown Prince, Fourth Prince and His Highness the Princess, so the slaves and servants do not know the exact whereabouts of the Empress."

What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and he was not rude.Li Shimin put away his previous smile, and said with a sullen face, "If that's the case, you three should go with me to find the queen back."

Dan Yun was taken aback, she originally only planned to procrastinate for a while, so she could remind the young lady, but now...

The emperor walked straight out, leaving the three of them staring at each other in dismay, hoping that Miss would not do anything too outrageous today.

Walking on the path in the garden, Guangyue and the others only felt a suffocating sense of oppression coming from the front. The emperor walked unhurriedly along the way, but with a decisive aura, until it spread far away. There was a burst of familiar laughter, he turned around slightly, and shot his eyes on the three maids like thorns, and then ordered them to stop, but he walked lightly towards the forest.

Even though Li Shimin had imagined the situation of seeing Ruoshui again countless times before, weak, pale, indifferent, and even alienated, it would never be like this, with a candid and even somewhat wanton smile instead of what he wanted. The habitual indifferent smile, the eyes that are as bright as a spring water instead of deep wells, and the intimate behavior of sitting with the children by the stream instead of getting along too rigidly.Ruoshui like this is not the queen in the Lizheng Palace, but seems to be just the child's mother.He restrained his mind for a while, and took a few steps forward lightly. He stopped behind a giant tree, and could clearly hear his wife and children talking and laughing.

At this time, Ruoshui, who didn't know the difference, was enthusiastically pulling his son and daughter to explain the source of the Qushui Liushang: "According to Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" said: "There are lofty mountains, lush forests and bamboos here, and there are clear streams and turbulent waves, reflecting the Take the left and right, leading you to think that there is a glass of water, and sitting next to you. Although there is no flourish of silk and bamboo orchestras, one glass and one chant are enough to express your feelings.'”

Chengqian couldn't sit still, and quickly said: "Mother, let's try it too."

Ruoshui slapped him on the head: "Fool, this requires a cup full of wine to flow downstream. The streams here are all flat, how can we try it?"

At this time, Qingque asked with some doubts: "Mother, wasn't the Wei and Jin period in troubled times? Why is there such an elegant wine order?"

Ming Yao said coquettishly: "Mother told me that in troubled times come out of love, right? Mother."

Ruoshui couldn't help laughing, he was a child of a kid, so he thought for a while before he said: "It's true, it's not right. From ancient times to the present, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be called a long period of chaos. But it was in those days that the literati and even ordinary people were far more prosperous, diverse and independent than other dynasties."

"But the Taifu said that Confucius said that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the worst years." Chengqian asked, holding his mother's hand.

"It was the worst era. Because of endless wars, only the human body was imprisoned. But it was also the best era. All schools of thought prospered. Until Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism, and Han Wudi alone If Confucianism is respected, what is imprisoned becomes human thought.”

Ruoshui looked at their pensive expressions and smiled.At this time, Qingque frowned: "But mother, doesn't this mean that troubled times are better than prosperous ones?"

"Of course not, but things in the world must be united for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. It's just that when a dynasty is declining, there will always be some people who stand up and walk in the forefront of the darkness. Some become heroes, some become heroes, and some become heroes. In the midst of hesitation and panic, it is normal to act romantically. It is normal for Liu Ling to get naked after drinking. People. Ruan Ji is said to have green and white eyes after being drunk. They chased each other and fought wine, wandered in waves, roamed the mountains and rivers, and lived in the forest. 30 years.' And in the prosperous age, people lack a certain kind of character in their bones, and of course they can't do things that are willful and rebellious, and despise the etiquette."

In fact, the three children are all extremely intelligent, Chengqian suddenly calmed down, his eyes showed a seriousness never seen before: "Mother, don't you want to go back to the palace, don't you want to be a queen?"

Where the voice fell, there was silence, only the sound of the brook flowing by could be heard, and the three children all looked up at their mother.

After a long while, Ruoshui smiled slightly: "Chengqian, the illustrious grandson's family is now under one person and above ten thousand people. It is impossible to enter, and it is difficult to retreat. Everyone has responsibilities that he must shoulder. There is no way to escape, and so is my mother."

"Mother, but you don't want to?" Qing Que and Ming Yao asked in unison, they seemed dissatisfied with Mother's avoidance, insisting on knowing an answer.

Ruoshui pulled Mingyao over and smiled loudly: "Yes, Mother's greatest wish is to bring the three of you back to Luoyang, to the house where Mother lived when she was a child. From now on, this world will be stable and this life will be peaceful. But... it seems No way." At the end, her voice was as soft as a whisper.

"But it's not bad as it is now." Ruoshui said with a smile, "Looking back at the bleak place, when we go back, there will be neither wind nor rain."

"There is neither wind nor rain." Chengqian repeated in a murmur, "Mother, if you could choose for yourself, you would definitely not marry the father."

Ruoshui was dumb, and his heart trembled slightly. After thinking about it, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden roar: "Ruoshui!" It was Changsun Wuji's voice.

Her complexion changed suddenly, and she turned sideways slowly. When she saw her brother and the emperor who was too calm, she had a demure and calm expression. The blush that emerged, in the eyes of the husband, was the eight characters of Taozhiyaoyao, scorching its brilliance.

The sky seemed to be getting dark soon, Ruoshui had no choice but to walk forward.
