When she was talking about her aunt, Xiao Wu in her arms raised his head, opened his big watery eyes and batted his eyelashes up and down and asked: "Sister, who is your aunt?"
"Aunt is our mother's eldest sister!"
"Who is the mother? I...have never seen her," he didn't know what to say yet, so he just asked, so innocently.
Qingya looked lightly at his dark eyes and stroked his delicate cheeks. She didn't know how to answer or explain to him. It took her a long time to squeeze out a few words: "It's bad, I don't know either! You can wait for me." Ask daddy!"
Jingke glanced at her casually, then got up from her lap and said, "Daddy taught me not to be rude, so I will sit on the chair properly!"
With that said, he ran staggeringly into the house and prepared to move the embroidery blocks.
She looked at his lonely trot, following the broken light and shadow of the setting sun on the corridor. When he entered the door, he stood on the threshold and smiled at her. When he smiled, two shallow dimples appeared. Such a gentle and honest look, Like her mother who has been dead for two years.
She couldn't help it immediately, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "Fifth brother, you are so like your sister. When you smile, you are so kind and gentle."
"Uncle, don't be too sad, the deceased is gone!"
Tantan patted her shoulder again and said, "My mother-in-law is only in her thirties. Come to think of it, beauties have always had a bad life. She was so beautiful, virtuous and gentle, but she died early! Leaving these little brothers behind, Alone."
"Brother Jing often asks his eldest brother about his mother's whereabouts, but we don't dare to say anything, so we just say we don't know!"
"Your elder brother and I have gradually regarded him as our own baby! I hope this can make up for the pain of losing his mother when he was young,"
"Xian'er has been as calm as an adult since he was a child, and he has become more sensible when he grows up. He is only interested in poetry and poetry every day, and he forgets about himself when he reads. With Cuihe looking after him, he slowly grows out of it. !」
Qingya was overjoyed and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for being able to take care of my two younger brothers at home. Now that I have married into a royal family, I can't come back to visit the house often, so I have to trouble my sister-in-law!"
She stood up, intervened and was about to bow. Tan Tan was frightened and helped her up quickly: "Madam, please get up quickly. You are the prince's wife. You must not be like this. With my status, how can I accept such a great gift from you?"
She knelt on the ground and refused to get up. She raised her head and said, "There are no kings or ministers here, only my uncle and sister-in-law. Please allow me to pay my respects."
"Now the Holy Emperor has sent the king to guard Liaoyang. I am also going back to the Li family's hometown. My father has been arranged to go to Zhongjing. From then on, we are thousands of miles apart and it is difficult to see each other again. I hope my sister-in-law will take care of herself and my daughter-in-law." Tens of thousands! Furthermore, the two younger brothers lost their mother when they were young, so they hope that my sister-in-law will take more care of them."
She bowed down and bowed respectfully, and Tantan quickly helped her up: "This is what I should do, uncle, don't worry, I am the daughter of a military commander just like you. , someone bullied the two younger brothers, I knocked him down with just two moves!"
"I only hope that you, my uncle, will do well in Liaoyang. The royal family is no more strict than ordinary officials' families. If you are bored on weekdays, don't look around and hand over a letter from a distance!"
The two of them sat together and admired the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in the pond. After seeing Jing Ke again, he moved the embroidered pier and watched the koi carp swimming east and west in the pond, then stood on the small stone platform to watch, without caring about anything else.
The uncle and nephew in the house were even more mysterious. They retreated and waited for people to come down. They closed the doors and windows and talked for an hour or two as if they were talking about some important military matter.
Before leaving, Li Shi bowed again and held Wan Yanyong's shoulders in front of him. He looked into his slightly deeper eyes and explored his calm and firm gaze. Through his black eyes, he seemed to see something. The prosperous age is full of thousands of stars.
Li Shi's eyes turned red, and he touched his shoulders with some emotion: "Lu'er, uncle, I saw thousands of stars in your eyes. I hope that one day, the king of the world can retain the blood of the Li family."
There seemed to be something in this, and Wanyanyong understood it and nodded silently.
"As I said before, I'm going to Liaoyang. Please take care of yourself. When the new city is completed, I will come to reunite with you! Before that, if you have any important matters, you can send a letter to my uncle remotely, and you and my uncle will discuss it. "
two people
When the prime minister walked to the door, Li Shi glanced at Qingya who was sitting on the corridor and said, "I'm going to have a baby with Qingya soon. We've been married for more than two years! This girl still can't let go of her sister's death, and she still can't let go of her sister's death. I don’t see her talking to me much.”
"Ru'er has always wanted to see her since she reconciled with King Qi, but she refused!"
"Uncle, Qingya is as strong as a plum blossom. I can't influence her thoughts. If she does something wrong, it will be blamed on me, the husband!"
He paid homage to Li Shi, briefly exchanged a few words with Tan Tan, and then said goodbye to Jing Ke. Finally, he returned to the corridor to pay homage to Li Shi, gently held his wife's hand and left, gradually disappearing on the corridor. trace.
Tomorrow, early in the morning, Yong Guofu's carriage drove among the neighbors and passed by the restaurant.
Qing Ya lightly lifted the curtain and looked outside the car window. The waiter of the restaurant who had gone to drink spicy soup was still shouting and respectfully inviting the guests. She listened vaguely and heard the voice of the girl from Qunfang Pavilion not far away. Warbler, the uncle who buys Hu cakes also opened a stall today. Everything is the same as before, but now, I don’t know when we will see these scenes again. Maybe it will be many years later, or maybe we will never see them again in a lifetime.
She put down the curtain with some reluctance, turned around and leaned on the horse, and fell asleep.
Wan Yanliang suddenly remembered that when Qing Ya traveled far away, it was already the beginning of late autumn. During the long autumn night, the fierce north wind swept the ground, and the colorful colors of the palace seemed to have been soaked in autumn overnight.
One night, he was blessed with a beautiful girl. She was a girl given by Tang Kuo's family to flatter the emperor. The girl's natural beauty, plump and graceful figure, and pair of exquisite and clear eyes attracted his attention, and he lingered with her all night long, as if she wanted to capture her soul.
"How old are you this year?" He sat up, straightened his clothes, put his arms under his head, exposing his broad chest.
The woman gently opened the brocade quilt covering her face and replied: "Your Majesty, I am only thirteen years old!"
He seemed to feel rejuvenated, and he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled again and again: "Well! From tomorrow on, you will be my Baolin! Remember to pay your respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow!"
"Yes, I understand. Before I entered the palace, my mother had told me that if I get the favor of the Holy Spirit, I will love you as my husband and respect the Queen Mother as my mother-in-law. The Queen Mother is the owner of my body. Mother. Serving your uncle as important as serving your parents must not lead to arrogance due to pampering!"
Wan Yanliang turned his head to look at her, with a hint of tenderness on his young face, delicate eyebrows and curved eyes, and a bookish scent all over his body.
"You are very knowledgeable and sensible. You have read a lot of books since you were a child!"
"My mother is from Bohai, so she has taught me to be well behaved, study well and know etiquette since she was a child!"
When Wan Yanliang saw that she was so beautiful and had read so many poems and books, every one of them hit his heart. He seemed to have seen the elegance from many years ago.
He was satisfied and said again: "Bohai women are all well-educated and considerate. If that's the case, it's no good. If you compare yourself with other beautiful women, just go straight to the beauty list!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Well! Go to sleep!" He looked at her, then put his big hand on her rosy cheeks to guide her to sleep.
After she fell asleep, he rolled out of bed, rolled out his clothes, left the palace and came to the front hall. He asked the waiter to make a cup of tea with his black porcelain sunflower cup, and then sat in front of the desk and read the memorial. , until the third watch of the night has passed.
Only people came to ask him to go back to sleep and take care of his dragon body, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The table was full of ministers who were dissatisfied with the massacre of the clan in the past few days. After reading the impeachment papers presented to him, he put his hands on his chin and asked the high eunuch: "These upright ministers bluntly accused me of the massacre. Clan, don’t I have my own considerations?”
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
He got angry again and tapped the desk with his fingers.
"Hey, I don't want to think about it anymore, just let them talk!"
When he thought about it carefully, he suddenly had an idea. The mass killing of the clan in the past few days had uncovered many beauties within the clan. Why not take this opportunity to bring these beauties into the harem?
Out of love for beauty, he gently waved a servant over: "I have an idea. Those who wanted to rebel before died, but their female relatives were released by me!"
"Among these women, there is beauty
It's very beautiful, but I don't have enough descendants. Some of these women are my relatives. How about bringing them into the harem? "
The high chamberlain was so frightened by this ridiculous decision that he did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head.
Seeing that he was silent, Wan Yanliang said again: "You should do something for me immediately. Tell Xiao Yu my decision and ask him to mention it in the court tomorrow."
"As a king, I must not do such an unjust thing. You talk to him and let him find a reason tomorrow to ask me to accept him as a female member of the clan!"
In other words, he had all kinds of weird hobbies, from killing clan members to seizing beautiful women, but he was the emperor and supreme, so the high chamberlain had no choice but to tell Xiao Yu about this matter quickly.
But Xiao Yu was an upright master, and when he got the news, he felt it was ridiculous, and said bluntly: "The previous massacre of the clan has caused panic in the court, why does your majesty do this again?"
The emperor's brother-in-law, Tu Shanzhen, also came with the high chamberlain. Seeing this, Zhen quickly ran over to touch his shoulders and said politely: "Master Zuo Cheng, your majesty has devoted himself to the affairs of the state, and now he needs a few beauties to accompany him. This What’s wrong?”
"Hey, don't you know?" Xiao Yu spoke in a low voice: "Among these people, there are His Majesty's cousins, His Majesty's nieces, and even nieces. If all of them become imperial concubines, then... ...Here, what should I do? It’s all a mess.”
Xiao Yu hid behind the golden gate and looked at the small bright window with his hands behind his back. He refused to support this matter, but Shanzhen, the disciple, would not give up until he achieved his goal and stepped forward to persuade him. ..
"Master Zuo Cheng, think about it! You are so stubborn, can you be more stubborn than His Majesty? Which woman he wants has not been obtained?"
"Don't worry too much. We are all His Majesty's ministers and we must solve your Majesty's problems!"
Xiao Yu argued with him for a long time, and after thinking about it, he felt helpless. Thinking that his sister Xiao Ning was still in the palace, he agreed to the matter. After sending his disciple Shan Zhen and Gao Neishi away, he put his fist on the red pillar and cursed: "I was really blind when I let Ning'er marry this deceitful disciple!"
After scolding and losing his temper, he went back to the room and continued to plan the matters to be reported tomorrow.
In the end, he also found a suitable excuse for Wan Yanliang's absurdity, showing that he was a kind king and loved his people like a son.
The next day in the court, Xiao Yu finished his remonstrance with a red face, saying: "After the clan members were executed, most of the female family members were punished and despised by the slaves. I hope that your majesty will take in all the clan girls to comfort the deceased!"
As soon as he said this, Wan Yanliang agreed shamelessly and readily, and immediately issued an edict to allow these female clan members to enter the palace. The beautiful and handsome ones were kept by him for his enjoyment, and the old and lustful ones were Go out of the North Palace, or send it to the Guo Temple.
The repeated snatchings of courtiers' wives this year made the courtiers increasingly scornful of their extravagant and extravagant style, and they secretly took action.
