Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The willow-lined lake is blowing a cool wind, and the ripples from the lake surface rush to the shore, gently tapping the smooth stones, making a pleasant sound, everything is as beautiful as a painting, and it is a bit illusory. Not true.

He and I are in the picture.

And he and I are also the only thing that doesn't work in this painting. I just stood there silently, I do n’t know how long I stood, there were willow leaves falling on my shoulders, and wind blowing water vapor across my cheeks, but I and him Still motionless.

I don't know how long, his palms have been cooled by the wind.

Then, I felt that the fingers with thin cocoons moved gently on my cheeks, slipped down, and moved to my chin, he gently supported my chin and looked at me in front of my eyes. .

I was still calm and didn't even mess with my breathing.

But the breath that was close at hand became a bit chaotic and hot, and the fingertips that supported my cheeks were also shaking slightly, not because of instability, but because of a depressed mood, as if invisible to me The place is tumbling, and I even have the illusion that the powerful fingers will break my slender neck in the next moment.

After all, he still didn't. He slowly let go of me, and I took a step back gently, saying, "Isn't the emperor going to see the great prince in Jingren Palace?"

"Ok."

"The lady accompanies the emperor."

"..."

He looked at me for a while, like he gritted his teeth. After all, he didn't say anything, but his breath was a little heavy, and he turned and went forward.

.

Soon after arriving at Jingren Palace, the eunuchs of the palace did not expect that the emperor would follow, and all of them knelt down in horror to meet the driver. Pei Yuanzhang didn't feel much to say anything and went in with his hands on his back.

At this time, I heard a deep giggling laugh coming from the study: "Wow! Finished!"

"Your Highness, be careful not to fall ..."

"Haha, I want to show it to Aunt Qing!"

I trembled in my heart, and when I looked up, I saw the front, and as I did last time, I ran out of the study with a large rice paper full of characters, and ran all the way and shouted: "Aunt Qing , Aunt Qing, I— "

After finishing his words, he suddenly saw Pei Yuanzhang, and he was shocked. He stood there for a while, hurriedly came over, and bowed carefully, "Children meet the father."

Pei Yuanzhang did not speak, but looked back at me, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qing ...?"

I bit my lower lip and said softly, "The daughter convicts."

Nianshen also immediately responded to what he said hurriedly: "Father Emperor, please do n’t blame Qing Qing-Qing Ying, the son-in-law called it, yes-the mother said, Qing Ying and her are good sisters. And she is very knowledgeable. She can teach her many truths about life, and let her call her aunt. "

Pei Yuanzhang looked at me, then looked at him, and smiled: "When did you say that you want to blame her?"

Nian Shen looked up in surprise.

"Your mother-in-law is right, she-" He glanced at me again: "Your young aunt is hello, you can follow her to learn more."

Nian Shen grinned and said, "Really, Father."

Pei Yuanzhang smiled slightly, with a kind of playful meaning in her grasp, and smiled: "Jun has no jokes, I also plan to let your young aunt go to the Xiandian."

My heart sank a bit, but I still didn't change my face. I just smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, show the emperor what you wrote."

"okay."

Pei Yuanzhang glanced at me, said nothing, hugged his thoughts, and smiled, "Come and show me what your grand prince has learned these days."

It seems that he rarely has such an easy-going look, and he is a little flattered by his deep thoughts. His face is flushed with joy and nervousness. I followed, and as their father and son entered the study room, Shuixiu and Xing'er followed carefully and served, Pei Yuan Zhen hugged Nian Shen to the table and asked him to unfold the rice paper, which was densely written with some innocent words—a disciple rule that I asked Nian Shen to come.

"Father Emperor, please."

Nianshen looked up at him as if inviting merit and waited a little nervous for his review. Pei Yuanzhang looked for a moment, but frowned slightly.

As soon as he saw him like this, Nian Shen immediately became nervous.

Pei Yuanzhang didn't speak, but just glanced back at me. I went forward to see it, and there were still some typos in the disciple's rules, but it has made a lot of progress compared to the previous ones, especially in the urgent case. I told him once about the mistakes he made, and he did not repeat them again, which is a great improvement.

So I smiled and said, "Your Highness writes so well. It's just fine if I can write more carefully here."

He looked at me deeply: "Where?"

I pointed to one of the words above and said, "Disciple rule, saint discipline, first filial piety, and second letter. There are three strokes under this letter, and His Highness wrote only two strokes. Is there something missing?"

"what……"

"Sincerely, it is to make people cautious, and to do everything must be justified and arrogant. Do not be arrogant. Writing is the same, one more and one less, that is not the word, that is not the meaning."

"Oh……"

Nodding deeply, nodded, hurriedly climbed into the chair, grabbed the pen and wrote it seriously, I stood by the chair, lowered my head to watch his tender pen, and Pei Yuanzhang stood behind me When he leaned down, his shoulders affixed to my back slightly, and the breath with hot temperature was blowing in my ears.

All of a sudden I was burned, I looked back at his eyes, said nothing, and moved silently to the side. At this time, the deep reading had been completed, and it seemed that I hadn't noticed the dark surge in the room and turned around to lift Take the paper and show us: "Father Emperor, Aunt Qing, are you right this time?"

Pei Yuanzhang looked at the crooked letter, smiled, and reached out and rubbed his heart.

Then he looked up at me and smiled, "You teach very well, and you don't want to waste your time planning to appoint you as the right hand of Jixian Temple."

This time, my heart sank fiercely.

Set the right word! Did he want me to serve in Jixian Temple?

Although the Tianchao did not allow women to be officials, the Jixian Temple was an exception. There was also a precedent for female college scholars in the previous Dynasty. This is not unusual, but-he asked me to be the straight character of the Jixian Temple. Even harder ...

Nian Shen didn't feel my mood at all, just looked at the emperor happily and said, "Father emperor, really?"

"Is n’t you saying that, Jun has no jokes." Pei Yuanzhang looked at him with a smile: "Your young aunt has made the righteousness of Jixiandian, and will go to Jixiandian to watch you in the future. But there is a penalty. "

Nian Shen was so happy that she almost jumped up, but still struggling to suppress herself, nodding her head vigorously: "My son knows!"

Then, he came to me again, raised his face and looked at me: "Aunt Qing ... Aunt Qing?" He looked at me blankly, holding my sleeve by surprise, and said, " Aunt Qing, what's wrong with you? "

"..." I lowered my head slightly, looked at him, and looked at Pei Yuanzhang over there, finally gritted my teeth and made a smiling expression: "No, nothing."

Pei Yuanzhang came over again, and stretched out his hands and squeezed his face: "Look at you, there is ink on your face. Come on—"

Shui Xiu and Xing'er hurried in: "Emperor."

"Bring the eldest prince down to wash and clean."

"Yes, slaves obey."

After speaking, the two of them came forward carefully and deliberately deepened, leaving me and him alone in the study.

The atmosphere this time became heavier.

I glanced at him and said nothing, just walked silently to clean up the pen and paper on the desk, and he came silently, standing behind me, just like the distance, just move a little, just Can stick to this warm body behind.

I simply stood by the desk and didn't move.

But he wasn't angry, and he could even feel the slight smile when he spoke, and whispered in my ear: "There is something else, I have to discuss with you."

discuss……

This was a word that the emperor would not use. I glanced back at him and said, "I don't know what the emperor has ordered?"

"There was news before, Fu Bazhen was attacked in Luzhou on his way to Beijing."

"What ?!" I was taken aback, hurriedly: "Then he--"

"People are fine."

"..." My heart was about to jump out of my chest, and I was relieved when I heard people were okay: "Too-great."

Pei Yuanzhang's voice was a little cold: "It seems that some people do not want him to enter Beijing."

This is natural. The emperor hoped that he would enter Beijing, and naturally someone would not want him to enter Beijing. The influence of such a great Confucianist as an official on the world ’s students is really incalculable. Those students would have been a great help in the future. But in the end, it may determine the future war and peace in the Central Plains.

I said gently: "But since he promised the emperor, even if the road is hard, he will definitely come."

Pei Yuan said: "I also know that calling him to Beijing is really difficult for him."

"..."

"So, I want to treat him with great gifts."

"... Gift?"

I turned around and looked at Pei Yuanzhang—of course, I wouldn't think he was purely respectful to Fu Bashen. Someone attacked Fu Bashen. This thing must be hidden, but the emperor treated him with great gifts. This was done to the world. An attitude of the reader.

He certainly won't give up every opportunity.

Pei Yuan said: "Long Yuan wanted to welcome the hundred officials, but he has not yet accepted the book. It is civil and non-official, and it is rude to let the hundred officials welcome each other, so I don't want to welcome him with ancient gifts. However, since the royal family After entering the customs, many of the ancient rituals in the past have been abandoned. I heard that Xichuan is still using some ancient rituals. I want to know, what ancient rituals are used by Xichuan people to treat such great Confucians? "

I thought about it and said, "Yuan Ying."

"Yuan Ying?"

"Yes," I nodded, and said, "Now people often say," I miss you far away, "because this ancient ceremony has been abandoned. If the emperor wants to treat him with great gifts, he must leave the Imperial City and go far away Go and greet. In this way, it will not be rude, but also to him and the world's scholars to express the emperor's desire for virtuousness, corporal virtuousness. "

He pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well. That's ready for people to prepare."

As he said, he looked up at me again and smiled slightly: "At that time, you will accompany me and go with Nianshen."
