What novels have you
read that you dare not cry out in the middle of the night? When she was four months
pregnant, Nan was particularly afraid that she was pregnant with a prince.
She knew that if it were a prince, this child would never be born.
Her husband Cheng Hao would never allow her to give birth to a prince.
“The South Wind Rises at Night: The Story of the Humble Queen’s Counterattack” (finished ~) Zou Anan stroked his stomach with his left hand and a divination sign with his right hand, leaning against the window and meditating. The maid
in charge of the palace, Xiaomao, handed over a cup of warm water and said, “Empress, the famous doctor from Sichuan and Shaanxi that the emperor has invited for you has arrived.”.
Nan clenched the divination stick in his hand and said lightly, Send him in. There is a medical officer’s office in the
palace.
From the beginning of her pregnancy, it was the Chinese medical officer of the medical officer’s office who asked her to calm her pulse.
But yesterday, when the emperor invited her to have breakfast in the Hall of Heaven and Earth, he suddenly proposed that someone else should take charge of her fetus.
He said with a smile that the man was a famous doctor in Sichuan and Shaanxi, specializing in women’s childbirth. In the
palace, when a woman gives birth, where is the rule of inviting a medical officer from the people?
Not to mention the queen’s own blood. Zou Anan understood the meaning of the
emperor’s action in an instant.
If she is pregnant with a princess, it is OK.
If the prince, I’m afraid, difficult to be born to see the rising sun.
This famous doctor in Sichuan and Shaanxi must have received a secret order from the emperor.
After a while, a man of about thirty came in.
He wore blue clothes, carried a medicine chest on his back, and walked slowly and steadily. Between the
breath and breathing, it can be seen that the internal force is quite good.
He knelt on the ground to pay his respects, and his speech and manner were like the wind in a bamboo grove. “Grass people, please pay their respects to the empress.”.
“” Get up.
Nan raised his hand.
Xiaomao took out the silk thread, gently wrapped it around her wrist, and handed it to her at the other end.
The miraculous doctor asked for his pulse and nodded to him. He drew back the line and asked, “May I ask the doctor, how is the fetus of our empress?”?
“He nodded.” The heart of the empress is strong and powerful. It’s very good. With
that, he took out the medicine from the medicine chest. This tocolytic medicine has been handed down from the ancestors of the Cao people for 17 generations. The empress can take one dose every day.
“” Strong and powerful?
“Nan hesitated, and his heart tightened.” Could it be, sir, that what is in the womb of this palace is a male fetus?
He smiled, but did not say yes, nor did he say no.
He bent down and said, “Empress, if you just take the medicine of the grass people, all your wishes will come true.”. After the famous doctor from
Sichuan and Shaanxi left, Ah Nan opened the medicine.
A strange fragrance came to my nostrils. Holding the medicine for about half a wick of incense,
she felt a little thirsty in her throat and took a sip of the glass of water she had just poured.
The water has been cold, all the way from the mouth to the heart, like a cold stream. Growing up
, she only drank plain water, which was colorless and tasteless. The strange fragrance of the medicine left by the famous doctor
in Sichuan and Shaanxi made her uneasy.
She gripped the divination stick in her hand more and more tightly.
The divination was handed down from her grandfather to her father, and from her father to her. The divination of
the Zou family’s ancestors, because the calculation was too accurate, revealed the secret of heaven, and several generations could not live a long life. Her
father died when she was three years old.
His illness came with a vengeance. In the end,
Nan remembered, he was lying on the couch, touching the girl with his fingers, which were as thin as withered twigs. “Nan, your life is expensive and bitter. It’s all up to you to go on.”.
Expensive and bitter.
Seemingly conflict, now, a Nan is understood.
She lives in the Phoenix Hall.
Fengluan Hall is the middle palace.
What is Zhonggong? The heart of the
imperial palace, where the queen lives.
She, Zou Anan, is the present queen of the Holy Dynasty.
No one knows what she has paid to sit in this position. After
an orphan girl and a commoner, only she knows every step of her life.
Originally, Cheng Hao had someone he liked in his heart.
That man is the daughter of the queen mother’s favorite.
It was she who repeatedly used the theory of astrology to create public opinion.
In addition, at that time, it was the time when the Empress Dowager returned to power and the regime in the court was handed over.
She took advantage of Cheng Hao’s suspicion as a king to provoke both sides, which made Cheng Hao alert to all the people associated with the queen mother.
When Cheng Hao took her by the hand and walked up to the gate tower, the fireworks filled the sky with the words “auspicious dragon and phoenix.”. On October 28, the 13th year of the reign of
Emperor Shunkang, the royal bridal sedan carried her from the main palace gate into the Hall of the Heavenly Kingdom. Since the founding of
the Holy Dynasty, she was the first queen to be carried in from the main palace gate.
Emperor Taizu Cheng Ye and Emperor Taizong Cheng Duo were married before they ascended the throne.
Emperor Renzong Cheng Yunhe, the father of Cheng Hao, had no queen in his life.
A Nan’s mother-in-law, today’s queen mother, is the body of the imperial concubine, the son ascended the throne, do the queen mother. Everyone
felt that she had tried her best to be the queen for the sake of her superior power and the honor of her mother.
But only she knows the real reason.
May be sleepy in pregnancy, a Nan holding the medicine of the strange fragrance, fell asleep in a daze.
In her sleep, there is always a kind of pain in her heart.
She watched her relatives die in front of her one by one.
She saw her mother remarry without looking back.
She was terrified of losing.
She loves Cheng Hao, the man she has known since she was three years old.
Just because her grandfather had accidentally saved the life of the empress Dowager, who was in a very low position before she entered the palace, the empress Dowager accidentally learned that there was still a descendant of the former savior during her southern tour, so she was brought up in the palace.
She lived in the palace for thirteen years.
She is the same age as Cheng Hao, and she grew up with him.
She understood his plans and his moods.
Suddenly, Cheng Hao’s face appeared in Nan’s dream. There was scorn on
his handsome face. “Queen, do you really think you have set me up?”?
Gu tells you that all your tricks are understood by Gu.
Gu is just using you to suppress his mother.
I married you, but I will never believe you.
You are my accomplice, not my lover. How could a woman as scheming
as you allow you to give birth to a prince.
“No!” Nan shook his head in despair and stretched out his hand to catch Cheng Hao, but he couldn’t.
White petals were flying, and a woman in white appeared in front of Anan.
Nan smelled the smell on her body, so familiar, the same smell as the medicine prescribed by famous doctors in Sichuan and Shaanxi.
The woman reached out her hand and stroked Nan’s tear-stained face. “Do you want to keep the baby in your womb?”?
Nan nodded sharply.
Then take this medicine. Who are
you?
Nan asked. The woman in
white smiled, “I am the one who helps you.”.
Why help me?
Nan has experienced the warmth and coldness of the human world since she was a child, and she never believes in good intentions without a reason. If
you can do your own divination, how can you not know that you have no children in your life?
Nan was silent. The woman in
white is right.
She figured it out, but she refused to accept her fate.
The Tao is that Wuji gives birth to Taiji, which is better than Heavenly Banzi and breaks the Heavenly Bureau.
Tao wins the world. The woman in
white continued, “This child in your womb was not blessed to be born.”.
But I calculated that after the fourth generation of the Holy Dynasty, there was a fatuous monarch, and the destiny of heaven did not bless him.
I am the one who protects the star of the emperor, but it is hard to stop the birth of the fatuous king.
Therefore, to your belly, send an auxiliary star, that is, Princess Cheng Milling.
She borrows your belly to come to the world.
To turn the tide and kill Kokang is the princess of Zhenguo.
Nan was chewing the words of the woman in white, and the white petals had slowly disappeared. When she
opened her eyes, she was still on the bed in the Phoenix Hall, holding the medicine in her hand. After the
fourth generation, the present emperor Cheng Hao is the fourth emperor of the holy Dynasty. Doesn’t it mean that the next generation of emperors are fatuous emperors?
Eat it.
A Nan’s heart crossed and swallowed the medicine into his stomach.
An indescribable comfort enveloped her whole body. The
previous panic, uneasiness and worry seemed to have left her.
She got up and paced out of the window.
It was already dark, the hall was brightly lit, and the night outside the hall was at a loss.
I saw a black star hanging in the sky.
She rubbed her eyes to see more carefully, but the sight was fleeting.
Black, for evil.
Xu is the fatuous monarch in the mouth of the woman in white.
Nan hurriedly made a divination in his mind.
This divination is extremely difficult.
It seems that there is a force in the dark, in front of the truth, to prevent her from approaching. With all her strength,
she could only divine that “the mother of the fatuous monarch is Chinese zodiac a rat, and the son of a hamster devours the kingdom.”.
Nothing else can be predicted.
The next day, news came from the medical office that two new concubines in the palace were pregnant at the same time. Hu Jieyu
of Wanxin Court and Kong Guiyi of Yanming Hall.
Zou Anan became alert. Which of
the two concubines is the hamster? Not long after the
emperor came to power, the empresses and concubines in the palace became pregnant one after another. The emperor felt that it was a good omen for the emperor, as if heaven had given rain to the royal family, and the country would last for ten thousand years. At the end of February in the 14th year
of Shunkang, not long after the Hundred Flowers Day, he led all the people in the harem to Hall of Ancestral Worship to worship their ancestors.
The empress and the emperor were in the same row, holding incense and worshipping, while the rest stood behind and worshipped with the empress.
Nan was pregnant for more than four months, and her body was a little heavy, but she still insisted on finishing the ceremony with the emperor. When
the maidservant Xiaomao wanted to help her, she waved her hand. She has never been a proud woman,
whether in front of or behind others. After
offering sacrifices to ancestors, a small Chamberlain came to report back, and the two ministers of the former court asked to see your majesty in the study.
The emperor heard this, hurriedly went. He has been very diligent
since he came to power last October.
Thousands of emotions, take state affairs as the top priority. After
the emperor had left, she turned to Hu Jieyu and Kong Guiyi with a smile and said, “When I got up in the morning, the empress ordered her maidservant to stew a few bowls of dessert. By this time, the stew was already soft and delicious. Would you please go to the Fengluan Hall and sit down together?”?
“Hu Chieh-yu was all smiles and said,” The empress has a heart. How can I not go.
“She gently stroked her lower abdomen and said,” Recently, I’ve always felt hungry. I used to eat three meals a day, but now I have to eat five or six meals a day. I thought it was the water in the palace that raised people. Yesterday, the Chinese medical officer invited me to express my happiness, and I realized that now I’m not eating alone, but two people are eating.
Kong Guiyi didn’t say much, but when he heard Hu Jieyu say this, he nodded to her and said, The master has a heart, and the girl has a heart.
Nan smiled faintly at the two of them.
A group of people walked to the palace in a mighty way.
On the way, I met Kong Liang, who was leading troops on patrol.
Kong Liang saluted Anan, Hu Jieyu and Kong Guiyi in turn, and his eyes finally fell on Kong Guiyi.
Kong Liang was the commander of the imperial guards in the palace and the elder brother of Kong Guiyi. Before the emperor was in power
today, he was the emperor’s confidant, the leader of Yu Lin Lang, who accompanied the emperor on horseback, shooting and hunting, and did some personal affairs for the emperor. After
the emperor came to power, the first thing he took from the queen mother was the power of the imperial guards in the palace.
Such important positions must be handed over to the confidant to rest assured.
Therefore, Kong Liang became the commander of the imperial guards without any doubt.
The emperor not only gave him a high official salary, but also accepted his sister Kong Lingyan, who is now Kong Guiyi.
The Confucius family can be regarded as the “own people” of the emperor.
At this moment, Kong Liang said to Kong Guiyi with a smile, “Yesterday my mother heard the good news about the empress. She was overjoyed. She went to the east of the city and asked for a peace charm. She sewed it in a sachet and told me to deliver it to the empress.”.
The sachet was exquisite, with a charmingly naive calf embroidered on it.
Kong Guiyi took the sachet and said to Kong Liang, “Thank you, elder brother, and thank you, mother.”. The
carriage continued on its way.
“The sachet that Mrs. Kong sewed for Kong Guiyi is really beautiful. The maidservant looks at it. The embroidery work is first-class.”.
Kong Guiyi said shyly, I’m flattered, Miss. Because I was born in the year of the ox, my mother sews a sachet with a Chinese zodiac for me every year.
“Xiaomao nodded and said,” This is Mrs. Kong’s motherly heart.
She and the queen looked at each other.
Last night, the queen checked the records of the inner court supervisor. Hu Jieyu and Kong Guiyi were not born in the year of the rat. Hu Jieyu was born in the year of the dog and Kong Guiyi was born in the year of the ox.
But the empress is not at ease, still want to confirm. It was also common for the official families in the
capital to lie about their daughters’ birthdays when they were married to each other. The sachet made by Mrs.
Kong for her daughter was obviously not intentionally arranged.
Therefore, Kong Guiyi can indeed be ruled out.
Nan thought in his heart.
Arrived at the Fengluan Hall.
The queen sat on the soft couch in the middle, Hu Jieyu on the right, and Kong Guiyi on the left.
When Xiaomao brought the dessert, Hu and Kong bowed, thanked the queen for her favor, and took it.
After a while, Ah Nan looked at Hu Chieh-yu and said, “Everyone lives in the southwest. There’s a lot of dampness and miasma. I don’t like sweet food.”. Is
Hu Jieyu used to eating in Shangjing?
Hu Chieh-yu was born in the Zhennan General’s Office.
Her father, General Hu Mo of Zhennan, has been stationed in the southwest for more than ten years.
Therefore, Hu Jieyu grew up in the southwest.
Hu Jieyu is a fresh and lively person, if anyone said a word to her, she would like to reply ten sentences. There are many rules in the
palace, and she often feels suffocated.
Seeing that the empress had taken the initiative to ask her, it was like opening a conversation box: “Empress, you don’t know something. Although I grew up in the southwest, my taste is different from others. I love sweet food, and I can’t leave it for a day.”.
My concubine’s mother used to love to joke, saying that my concubine was married far away.
Now, it has come true. Naturally
, Xiaomao said, The maidservant heard a rumor that the barbarians in the southwest raised rats and ate them. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
Hu Jieyu is well-informed and must know.
Kong Guiyi gently covered his mouth with a veil. The matter of
eating rats sounds pickled. But
Hu Chieh-yu said, “Those who eat rats are uncivilized and vulgar people.”.
The rat is such a clever thing, how can it be eaten? When
I was at my mother’s home, I warned the people in the house not to eat rats.
“Nan smiled and said slowly,” Xiaomao, go and bring the pictures of horses that are treasured in this palace and give them to your two sisters.
Xiaomao said, “Yes.”.
A moment later, she came out with the calligraphy and paintings in her arms and said to Hu and Kong, “Taizu got the land on horseback, and our emperor is the one who loves horses the most.”. The
two empresses hung the picture of the steed in the room, and when the emperor saw it, he would be very happy.
Kong Kuei-yi gladly thanked him and took it.
Hu Jieyu hesitated. “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Dao asked? Doesn’t
Hu Jieyu like this picture of a fine horse?
Hu Jieyu said haltingly, No.. How dare I not like what the empress has given me. It’s really.. It’s really.. I can’t hang a picture of a fine horse in my concubine’s room.. “Not hanging?”?
Why?
“” This.. I don’t know why. Anyway, it was told by my mother before I left the cabinet.
Say. Say you can’t.. “Well,” said Anan, “everyone has his own taste.
This palace does not force Hu Jieyu. The suspicion in
her heart was already very deep.
The child rat is water, and the noon horse is fire. Water and fire are incompatible. Therefore, people born in the year of the rat cannot hang a picture of a fine horse in the house, nor can they wear all the ornaments related to horses. Otherwise, according to the principle of mutual restriction of the five elements, it will bring disaster. “Thank you, Empress,” said
Hu Jieyu, bending over. After the
two men retired, Nan leaned on the couch with his hand on his forehead. Every word of
her divination yesterday was in her heart. Son of
the hamster, devour the kingdom.
If this Hu Jieyu belly is really a scourge, how can she allow it to be born? What can
she tell the emperor so that he will believe her?
Will it backfire, so that the emperor thought that she was vicious and jealous, without the capacity of the palace, could not tolerate his children?
Nan suddenly remembered that when she was young, her father said to her, “It’s rare in the world. It’s the word muddleheaded.”.
She was puzzled and asked her father what he meant.
The father sighed: “The most helpless thing is that everything can be calculated, but nothing can be changed.”. A person who
can predict and calculate is like having a clear river in front of him, and he can see everything. But there is no boat
by the river, no one can cross the river, no one can cross the river.
It was getting dark again. The palace people in
the Fengluan Hall prepared enough lamp oil early, and the hall was brightly lit.
The empress is afraid of the dark. It is an unwritten rule not to turn off the lights at night in the Hall of
Phoenix and Luan. Everyone knows and abides by it, from the maid in charge of the palace to the little Chamberlain who sweeps the courtyard.
In Anan’s nightmare, there was always a sword, which pierced her throat, and blood, like the heavy rain in summer, was sprinkled all over the sky.
Surprisingly, the man with the sword was himself.
The dream was infinitely reincarnated, repeatedly appearing in her mind, and in the end, Anan could not even shout.
Why?
Why did she have such a dream of committing suicide.
Later, she tried to see the sword clearly, only to see a lotus flower carved on the hilt. A Nan’s nightmare will stop
only when the emperor comes to rest in the Phoenix Hall.
In that way, she could have a good night’s sleep.
However, the days when the emperor came to the middle palace were numbered.
Tonight, when Anan had finished grooming and was getting ready to rest, he suddenly heard a report from the Chamberlain: “The saint has arrived.” Anan was about to get up to greet him, but Cheng Hao had already come in with great strides.
Nan undressed him, and Xiaomao brought warm water from a copper basin.
Cheng Hao applied a hot veil to his face and breathed a sigh of relief. “A difficult thing that has been hanging in my heart for a long time has finally been solved,” he said.
“He smiled and said,” In the past, the military power in my uncle’s hands was disintegrated into three parts, and all of them were replaced by his own people.
Heh.
This matter, the town south general office.
Military power is indeed appropriate to disperse, recognize will not recognize, in the future, the holy Dynasty will no longer have the matter of military commanders.
“Nan said softly,” The sage is wise.
The two of them lay down in their clothes.
Seemed tired for a long time, Cheng Hao touched the bed not long, then fell asleep.
In the fifth watch, the sound of the bell suddenly resounded through the court.
Twenty-seven.
National mourning. Nan was in a panic when the
will bell rang.
Cheng Hao suddenly sat up from the bed.
His hands were curled up and shaking.
Nan sat up, too. The two of
them looked at each other like two connected grasses on the edge of a dark pool.
Twenty-seven, right?
“” Mmm.
“” Yes.. Mother?
Cheng Hao struggled to say the next two words, each of which seemed to be astringent and bitter, squeezing out of his heart like a golden thread covering his lips and teeth.
It’s the Queen Mother.
Nan gazed into her husband’s eyes, and in the dim light, there were wisps of gentle waves.
Twenty-seven, national mourning, there are only three people in the world when this specification, the queen mother, the emperor, the queen.
Now, the two of them are sitting here, not the queen mother, who could it be?
It’s just that Cheng Hao won’t face it.
Since half a year ago, he has been deliberately trying to seize power from his mother.
His father died early, and fourteen years ago, his mother took him to Hall of Golden Bells step by step at the age of two.
Her mother had been in power in the court for many years, and no one in the court did not listen to her mother’s orders in the military and political affairs, the six ministries, and the governor’s offices in Kyushu.
Even the history of the fold, please Ann, also call the queen mother Wan An.
Her mother had many loyal courtiers around her, and her uncle was her best helper.
Uncle Ding Guogong is in charge of the world’s military forces, and all the generals follow his lead.
Mother’s power is so great that it makes him uneasy.
He was regarded as a yellow-mouthed child on the Hall of Golden Bells by the ministers from an early age, and his light was completely covered by his mother. Someone
once told him, “If the chicken is in charge of the morning, the world will be in chaos.”.
Your majesty throughout the history books, for every woman in power, how can it be easy to return to power?
Cheng Hao read the sentence over and over again, “When the melons are yellow, the melons are ripe and the seeds leave.” Looking at his capable and wise mother, his guard grew stronger and stronger. The girl
he loved, the girl who grew up with him and Anan, Shen Ching-huan, whose father, Shen Zhou, was an old minister promoted by the Empress Dowager, and his eyes were full of “the order of the Empress Dowager.”. Cheng Hao was timid
when his mother had an obvious intention to marry him.
He was afraid of a conspiracy.
Does the Queen Mother want to control him in another way, forever and ever? It was
at that time that he began to get closer and closer to Anan.
A Nan has no father or mother, and his status is low, which makes him feel at ease. What
makes him happy is that between his mother and him, Anan always chooses him without hesitation and considers problems from his point of view.
Nan knows every inch of his mind.
She gave him advice, and she did everything for him, so that he could smoothly complete the big change in the court step by step. Together with Anan,
he calculated the situation in the court and calculated everyone.
The queen mother moved the palace and returned to power.
Zaifu translocation.
Military and political decentralization.
Everything was going according to his and her expectations. At
the splendor lamp, there are only the remaining conspirators.
When the celestial phenomena repeatedly pointed to the palace, Cheng Hao did not hesitate to take Anan’s hand to the highest point.
He to her, three points of admiration, three points of fear, three points of suspicion, what is the remaining one point?
Cheng Hao has thought about it many times.
In the end, he figured out that the remaining point might be a real acquaintance. They
are the same kind, and they have the same things in their bones.
Now, the mother is dead, actually dead.
Cheng Hao suddenly felt heartache.
Cheng Hao hugged his head and said, “Sister Nan, I just want my mother to hand over power, but I never want her to die.” He didn’t say “lonely.” He said “me.”.
It seems that he is just an ordinary motherless child in the world at this moment.
His weakness for a moment was only for her to see.
Nan was stunned and she hugged him.
They grew up together. They were the same age. Anan was only a month older than him.
He only called her “Sister Nan” once, when she beat him in a cricket fight.
At that time, he shouted a word and then kept his mouth shut.
Nan thought he had misheard, but did not ask.
This time, he shouted so clearly. Sister
Nan.
Nan held him quietly. “My mother is gone,” murmured
Cheng Hao. I know it’s not easy for her after her father left.
But how can I not suspect her. Why did
the former Dynasty die?
Isn’t it because the harem interferes in politics and consorts monopolize power?
The world is in chaos, Taizu Fang insurrectionary soldiers.
Predecessors had no time to mourn for themselves, but posterity mourned for them. If
later generations mourn for it and do not learn from it, they will also mourn for later generations. Nan didn’t say a word.
But she understood with every gentle touch.
She stroked his back in silence.
A long time.
Cheng Hao sighed, “Birth, old age, illness, and death are fatal.”.
In the future, I will also have the day of my mother.
Then I will die with you.
Nan said shallowly, as if to say something perfectly natural. Outside
the curtain, in charge of the supervisor to call.
Clansman all rushed to the court.
Cheng Hao stood up.
The boat brought the water for washing.
Nan waited on him to change his clothes.
Put on the dragon robe, and all his weakness is gone.
He became a cold and rational king again, looking at everyone with alienation in his eyes. How did the
queen mother disappear? The messenger from
the Xuanrui Palace said respectfully, “Go back to the emperor and palpitation.”. The Empress Dowager, who had
controlled the government for many years, died of palpitations and collapsed in her bedroom.
The national mourning lasted for a whole 27 days.
Many people are talking about it in private. Why did the queen mother have a heart disease after she handed over the power?
Is her heart too strong, or is there an unknown inside story in the transfer of power between mother and son?
Of course, no one dares to say these words in the court. The young emperor on the
throne is not angry but proud.
Today’s court is no longer yesterday’s court.
Gossip is not important to Cheng Hao. The
important thing is how to make the empire more prosperous and prosperous. Between his
eyebrows, he was full of perseverance.
When the national mourning was almost over, Anan’s fetus was nearly five months old, and it became more and more obvious that she was pregnant. Under the
plain clothes, the belly is like a round hill.
But she was still thinking about the hamster and never forgot it for a moment. In late
March, she received a secret letter from Yunnan and Guizhou. There was a message from the people
she placed in the Zhennan General’s Office a few days ago.
Hu Jieyu’s Chinese zodiac is indeed a rat.
This is the news from the old Mammy beside Mrs. Hu, and it is absolutely true.
Nan grasped the secret letter, thought for a long time, and had an idea. In any case,
she could not let Hu Jieyu give birth to this child.
This evil man, just do it.
It happened that the coffin of the Empress Dowager, which had been stopped for many days, was to be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
According to the rules, the maidservant who serves incense in front of the spirit should be buried with the Lord. The maidservant who
served the incense was appointed by the supervisor of the inner court.
The inner court supervises the matter of who it is.
Obedience is death, and disobedience, even disobedience, is also death.
And obey the arrangement, say the name sounds good, but also the whole family can enjoy the honor, receive the royal reward.
Therefore, most of the maidservants who serve incense are sad while thanking the royal grace. The night before
the burial, a Nan ordered Xiaomao to send the maidservant.
The woman knelt on the ground and said, “Why did the empress pass on this dying man to her maidservant?”? The
burial was only a few hours away, and her life was only a few hours away.
Nan took a sip of the water in the copper cup.
Her expression was as pale as the water in the copper cup: “The girl may not die.”.
The woman looked up suddenly, as if she had misheard?
As long as you do what the palace says. Half an hour after
the burial, there will be someone to save you in the imperial mausoleum.
I promise you won’t die. Enjoy the glory of
your family.
“The woman bit her lip and said,” Empress, what should the maidservant do? Candlelight flickered in the Hall of the
Phoenix.
The woman remembered every word of the queen in her heart.
The next day. Wrapped in white,
they knelt in the Xuanrui Hall.
The emperor was the first, the empress the second, and the concubines the third.
After that, it was the imperial clan and the ministers who ordered their wives. As soon as the
voice fell, the maidservant, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, suddenly stood up, staring as if stunned by a demon. She rushed to Hu Jieyu, who was kneeling in the crowd, and spit out a pill from her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth.
Hu Jieyu was shocked by this unexpected incident, and her hands and feet played desperately, trying to shout something in her mouth, but her mouth was tightly covered by the maidservant.
The maidservant shouted, “The son of misfortune cannot be kept.”.
The guards came to their senses and hurried to pull her.
She suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious and unconscious.
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, “Just now the voice sounded like the queen mother. The queen mother is on her upper body!”! It’s working! They all knelt on the ground again. What the maid
servant said before she fell into a coma seemed to have really become the “will of the Empress Dowager.”.
The concubine took a glance at the crowd and looked at the maidservant who had fallen to the ground.
Hu Jieyu lay on the ground with a black and blue face, crying out with pain in her mouth.
The medical officers arrived in a hurry.
The emperor cast his eyes on Anan and said, “You can’t change the time when your mother is buried. It’s time to get up or get up.”.
Queen, now you can stay in the palace to take care of Hu Jieyu’s fetus.
“Nan nodded and said,” Yes.
This is my duty.
“Your Majesty,” asked the supervisor, “this maidservant..” The emperor said lightly, “Since it was the queen mother who lent her spirit, she must have had a lot of affinity with her.”.
Whether you are in a coma or awake, you should be buried as you are.
“” Yes.
The chief supervisor waved his hand, and two small chamberlains came over to set her up and drag her along. All the people
present slowly reacted from the farce just now.
The prayer flags are raised and the funeral music is played. And
the people began to mourn again. The
white funeral procession, like the snow of late winter, disappeared little by little.
Nan ordered, “Take Hu Jieyu back to the Wanxin Courtyard.”.
Hu Jieyu was crying all the time.
Her maid of honor, Xiao Miao, held her hand and said eagerly, “Second Young Lady, hold on, hold on. Think about Third Auntie..” With these words, he covered his mouth again. Although Hu Jieyu, who was
lying on the ground, was too painful to speak, she still glared at Xiao Miao with sharp eyes, which were full of blame.
Obviously, Xiao Miao said the wrong thing in a hurry.
Who is the second young lady?
Who is the third aunt?
Hu Wan Chi Mingming is the eldest daughter of Zhennan General’s Office. In
March, Shangjing is not hot, the wind is blowing the fragrance of flowers, and it is still a little cool.
But there was a thin layer of sweat on Nan’s head, and the little girl beside him gently wiped it with a brocade handkerchief.
Her snow-white filial piety clothes set off her snow-white face.
Wan Xin yuan. Large areas of rhododendrons in the
courtyard are as lively as a fire in the sky.
Hu Jieyu grew up in Yunnan and Guizhou. There are many rhododendrons in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the flowers are numerous and beautiful.
She once mentioned to the supervisor of the inner court that there were all kinds of precious flowers in the palace, but not the most common cuckoo in the mountains.
Because of her great favor and the fact that she was pregnant with a dragon descendant, the inner court supervisor knew how to please her.
In just a few days, she ordered people to transplant many of them from Yunnan and Guizhou to her bedroom. The
supervisor of the inner court said, Hu Jieyu, you miss this flower, which is the blessing of this flower. If you can touch the noble spirit of the descendants of the dragon, it will be worthwhile for this flower to travel thousands of miles.
Now, Hu Jieyu is lying on the bed, with blood trickling. The azaleas in the
courtyard are more and more like blood, rising and falling, and flowing into one piece.
Nan is sitting under the eaves.
The Chinese medical officer came out of the inner room and knelt on the ground, saying, “Empress, Empress Hu’s fetus..” I can’t keep it.
Nan closed his eyes and did not make a sound.
The Chinese medical officer added, “The medicine that the maidservant fed into the mouth of Empress Hu was so strong that it not only aborted the fetus, but also injured the body of the palace and caused a lot of bleeding.”.
I’m afraid it will be difficult for Empress Hu to get pregnant after that.
I have tried my best, but unable to save the day.
For the time being, we have to use more warm and nourishing medicines.. Be sure to keep her alive.
Nan’s tone is very light, but these words are very firm.
Yes. In the
evening, Hu Jieyu came to life.
Nan went to her bedside.
Her fresh and lively look was gone, and she no longer chattered a basket of words. Her eyes were absent-minded, and she murmured in her mouth, “It should be that Shu’s grievances are endless, and she tells the west wind by color..” This is the poem of the cuckoo in the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the word “injustice” pierced Nan’s heart like a needle.
Nan collected himself and tucked Hu Jieyu in the corner of the quilt. “Are you homesick, sister?” He said gently?
Don’t grieve too much.
The body is important.
The rest will come when it comes.
Hu Chieh-yu stared at Ah Nan with her big, empty eyes. Empress, who did this?
“Ah Nan said,” That cheap maidservant is in a daze. She really deserves to die.
This time, I’m afraid already buried with the queen mother.
Sister, your tone is out.
“” Take it out?
Hu Chieh-yu burst into tears and sat up excitedly.
Xiao Miao quickly put a pillow under her body.
What are you angry about?
She was the one who was going to die. What’s wrong with the dragon vein in the belly of
my concubine? Filled out in
vain.
I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it’s the queen mother’s manifestation. When
I was at my mother’s home, I heard my father say that the so-called possession of the spirit was just a person with ulterior motives pretending to be a ghost. Someone
must be scheming to harm my concubine! The cheap maidservant is an accomplice! “Be careful what you say, sister!” Nan interrupted her.
The majesty of Zhonggong made Hu Jieyu afraid.
She restrained her words with a sense of grievance.
Sister, the Empress Dowager died in her prime, and the emperor suddenly lost his mother, and his heart was broken.
The queen mother appears, don’t say very true, even if there is a doubt, the emperor will be cautious.
Today’s matter, in full view of the public, must have made a decision in the heart of the emperor.
How can you conclude by pretending to be a ghost in your mouth?
Nan finished and stood up.
Sister, you take good care of it.
For their own sake, but also for the honor and disgrace of Zhennan General Office.
She went outside the door.
Behind him came Hu Chieh-yu’s plaintive cry: “How could my child be an ominous son?”?
How so?
“Ah Niang!” She called out.
People will instinctively call their own mother when they are in extreme pain. Who is
Hu Jieyu’s biological mother? In the past, when
she mentioned Mrs. Hu, she would solemnly call her “mother.” She had never called her “Ah Niang” in such an intimate and dependent tone.
Anan mused as he walked.
Nan went back to the Fengluan Hall. “The empress is tired today,”
she said. “Have a rest.”.
Nan shook his head and pruned the pine and cypress with scissors under the eaves.
It was her habit to prune the pine and cypress whenever she had something on her mind.
Pines and cypresses are evergreen all the year round, and she always has something to accompany her.
Nan is very fast. The swish of the
scissors was clear and harsh in the twilight.
Moments later, Xiaomao came in with a letter: “Empress, there is a secret letter from Yunnan and Guizhou.”.
Nan put down the scissors, wiped his hands, and opened the secret letter.
It was written by someone she placed in the general’s office in the south of the town.
It turned out that there was a secret hidden in Zhennan General’s Office.
Everyone was tight-lipped about it, so the people she had placed in the house did not know for many days.
Just because of these two days, there is a strange woman to return to Ning, the house is said to be the eldest lady’s adopted daughter.
By chance, however, she heard the first lady call her “Wan Chi,” and only then did she figure out how many points she had. Nan already understood when he
saw this. Hu Jieyu in the
palace is not really Hu Wanchi.
Her biological mother must have been the third aunt in Xiaomiao’s mouth, who had a humble position in Hu Fu.
Hu Jieyu is not the first young lady, she is the second young lady.
She is just a substitute concubine.
Zhennan General’s Office is so bold. Is
this the big lady’s act first and report later, so that Hu Mo had to cooperate with her lie, or Hu and his wife together, intentionally deceiving the king?
Do you really think that this is done seamlessly and will never be noticed?
These warriors tend to think things are too simple.
No wonder Hu Jieyu mentioned the matter of Chinese zodiac, covering up and flashing her words.
Nan put down the letter and sat down on his forehead.
Xiaomao hurriedly handed over a cup of warm water.
Nan turned the cup in his hand.
The night swallowed up the last bit of sunset.
The Chicken Man reported that it was Xu Shi.
Why is it that as long as the “hamster thing” is involved, as long as it is related to it, it is like falling into a dark quagmire and nothing can be seen clearly?
Such a situation is rare.
Nan has a deep sense of powerlessness.
The horse steps on the stars, and the rivers and mountains rotate.
Could it be that the providence in the dark is so powerful?
She remembered the words of the woman in white in her dream.
Even immortals can’t reverse this, not to mention mortals?
Did you really do something wrong?
Nan shook his head. When the water in the
cup was cold, the attendant outside and inside announced, “The saint has come.” She got up, and Cheng Hao came in.
Your Majesty, Hu Chieh-yu’s fetus is gone.
But fortunately, people are all right.
The medical officers have done their best. Cheng Hao sat down and said, “Gu came from the Wanxin Courtyard. She already knows about Hu Jieyu.”.
Nan twisted the hot veil and handed it to him.
She always likes to do these things for him personally, as if he is a part of herself.
Cheng Hao took her hot veil and said slowly, “Empress, do you believe that your mother will appear?”? If
the emperor believes, I will believe. If
the emperor does not believe it, I will not believe it. The heart of
my concubine is the same as that of the emperor.
“” Oh.
Cheng Hao put a towel over his face.
The maidservant has been buried as a martyr.
Queen, you should be relieved.
Nan wanted to say something, but Cheng Hao had already wiped his face and got up. “Empress, on Hu Jieyu’s side, Gu Hui will appease her and promote her to the position of concubine, which is also an explanation to the Zhennan General’s Office.”. This is the end of the revelation of the
queen mother.
“He walked up to her and said softly,” The queen should be tolerant.
Don’t run out of love for you alone. When
Cheng Hao said the word “affection”.
Nan’s eyes suddenly flashed the early autumn of the first year of Shunkang. When she was
three years old, she was taken to the Hall of Heaven and Earth, dressed in dark clothes and wearing the divination sign left by her father on her head.
She watched a little boy of her age fighting crickets.
The little boy’s brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of determination to win and the chill of a king.
She saw that his clothes were embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread, and she knew that he was the present young emperor. No one in the
world deserves to wear dragon stripes except the king. Son of
Heaven, heir of the true dragon.
The dragon pattern, like the fire of the cold night, made Anan want to get close and warm.
It seems that I am the fallen leaves that are tired of dancing with the autumn wind, and I have a place of peace of mind.
Since her father died and her mother remarried, she has been living under the shelter of others, and has long learned that “if you don’t do your own thing, you don’t open your mouth, and if you ask, you shake your head.”.
She is not a talkative and pushy person, but she can’t help talking to him.
She told him that the fierce cricket in his hand would be defeated.
Sure enough, it caught his attention. Angrily,
he asked him why it was obvious that the cricket had the advantage.
She told him a truth through the cricket, which had won in the past and was proud of itself: relying on the size of the country and the number of the people, those who want to see the enemy’s power are called arrogant soldiers, and those who are arrogant are destroyed.
Later facts proved that what she said was right. The cricket in
his hand was really defeated. From then on,
he liked to play cricket with her, and he liked to hear some opinions from her about things he was not sure about.
She had thought that this was excellent.
Until she saw him frolicking with Shen Qinghuan, she had never seen the smile on his face.
At that moment, a Nan understood that Cheng Hao, who was with her, was mature and prudent.
But he never smiled in front of her without distraction.
She longed to see the smiling face she had never had before.
However, until she entered the palace and became his wife, she still could not have it.
Affection. What is
his affection for her?
It is she who keeps watch day by day in the Fengluan Hall.
It is her every minute and every bit of caution. On the
wedding night, the dragon and phoenix candles stayed on all night.
She woke up in the middle of the night and saw him gazing at the red plum outside the hall.
She pretended to be asleep.
But Hongmei became her heart attack.
Hongmei was planted by him for Shen Qinghuan.
She finally failed to win Shen Qinghuan.
Even if Shen Qinghuan did not enter the palace, even if he chose her between Shen Qinghuan and her.
At this time, a Nan looked into Cheng Hao’s eyes.
Your Majesty, I am not without tolerance.
I have been with you for more than ten years. You should understand that no matter what I do, I am dedicated to you.
She slowly told the signs of her dreams, the divinatory symbols of her divination. The mother of
a fatuous monarch is Chinese zodiac a rat. Son of
the hamster, devour the kingdom.
Cheng Hao took back the steps he had taken and sat down on the chair again.
He was silent for a long time before he said, “Do you mean that Hu Jieyu’s real Chinese zodiac is a rat, perhaps the mother of a hamster?”?
“” Yes. Although
I can not predict the exact news, but even if there is this possibility, the emperor, do you think you can stay?
Cheng Hao is very suspicious, and Nan has always understood.
Even though Hu Jieyu is not the real mother of the hamster, as long as she is a “rat,” Cheng Hao will not take that risk.
He will not allow the things he cares about most to be destroyed.
The Queen.
Cheng Hao’s eyes softened slightly.
He seemed to understand. Was the play in front of the Queen Mother’s spirit
today made for other people?
“” Mmm. In full view of the
public, the maidservant, through the mouth of the Empress Dowager, uttered the four words “son of ill omen.” How could the Zhennan General’s Office dare to question this matter again? Even if
Hu Jieyu lost the dragon’s descendants and damaged the body, since the queen mother appeared, the generals had no reason to complain about today’s saints. No harm
to the overall situation.
You know that the Queen Mother didn’t actually die, do you?
This matter was also confirmed by Cheng Hao through a letter left by his mother’s close minister.
Mother left the court to him and the rest of her life to herself. After she
handed over power, she didn’t want to and didn’t have to stay at court anymore.
Idle clouds and wild cranes, rivers and lakes go.
She was only free by the way of death.
Nan nodded his head.
Yes, she does.
Your Majesty, the fewer people who know whether the Queen Mother has really passed away, the better. The
important thing is that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world all believed that their mother had passed away.
They all know that you were heartbroken when your mother died.
This is good for you and your mother.
The Empress Dowager has been in power for half her life. She has numerous political enemies. Now she has left the palace incognito. Every time there is one more person in the know, she is in more danger.
Cheng Hao looked at a Nan, and the clouds between his eyebrows were deep. Once again
she was thinking ahead of him.
She always does things so thoroughly.
She’s like an unfathomable abyss.
He became more and more like a man walking on the edge of the deep.
Nan knew that if she didn’t tell Cheng Hao all this, Cheng Hao would think that Zhonggong was jealous and that her heart was like a snake and scorpion. If
she had told him all this, as she was now, he would have been more afraid of her. There are
always trade-offs, and there are always trade-offs.
His affection for her is so cautious and thin. The
orange candlelight, like an affectionate beauty, is swaying with the night wind.
Tell the people who supervise the inner court that from now on, Chinese zodiac women who are rats need not enter the palace again.
Cheng Hao Dao.
Yes.
Simply put an end to it from the source.
In order to avoid entering the palace under an assumed name again, Empress, after that, you will guard the palace together with the inner court supervisor.
“” Yes. The power to
choose the concubines was given to Anan. The empress can continue to pretend that she doesn’t know anything about the replacement of the
Hu family.
Zhennan general mansion, solitary still need.
“” Yes. The balance of the
government is always in the first place. Don’t spread the word about
the divinatory symbols, for fear that they will be used by people with ulterior motives or foreign countries.
“” Yes.
This is natural. If there is a fatuous monarch after the
fourth generation, doesn’t it mean that the holy Dynasty is about to run out of gas?
How can it be known to outsiders.
After that, Nan thought he was leaving. And
he stayed. Sleep
in your clothes.
Nan lay beside him, and he gently stroked her belly like a hill with his hand.
Nan suddenly felt the fetal movement, and the baby in her abdomen was kicking her belly.
Cheng Hao also felt it.
They looked at each other and smiled.
All the calculations and trade-offs seem to be temporarily hidden at this moment.
The young couple face not only the children, but also the wind, the rain and the unknown that the holy Dynasty will face.
Nan thought that there was no need to have that dream this night, the dream of committing suicide.
As long as Cheng Hao sleeps beside her, she will not have this dream.
She does not have to face the tragic death over and over again, over and over again in the face of that kind of deep helplessness and misery, over and over again in the face of blood all over the sky.
The endless nirvana and samsara.
Spring is over and summer is coming. Thank you for the cuckoo
in Wanxinyuan.
Hu Jieyu Jin Wanfei, from the third grade to the first grade, served three times more palace people than before, and three times more silver than before. Xiao Miao, who was married into the palace
from her mother’s house in Zhennan General’s Office, became the maid in charge of Wanxin Court.
Everything is as close to her heart as possible. Concu
bine Wan stayed on the couch for four months. It was not
until the end of July that I went out. After she recovered from her
illness, she seemed to be a different person and became intimate with Zhonggong.
She told Nan that she knew that she had no hope in her life, but she was just begging to rely on the big tree of the empress to get a shade. If
the empress has a place to make her, just tell her.
She would go through fire and water for the empress.
When Nan heard this, he only smiled faintly and comforted her with a few words.
But Wan Fei is still every day, a warm. Kong Guiyi has been more and more careful
since the last time Wan Fei had an accident.
Her month is getting bigger and bigger, and Anan exempts her from the greeting.
She simply stayed indoors in Yanming Hall from morning till night. The famous doctor in Sichuan and Shaanxi who protected the fetus
for Zhonggong said that the queen had only half a month left before she gave birth. What Nan cares about most
at the moment is the safety of the baby in his belly.
One night, Anan rested alone. According to the old practice, the people of the Palace of
Phoenix and Luan added enough lamp oil.
However, in the middle of the night, when Nan woke up from his sleep, he saw that the bedroom was dark, and a mouse chirped.
It turned out that the rat had eaten the lamp oil, so the lamp went out.
Darkness is like waves, which makes Anan have a kind of despair of drowning.
She screamed, “Somebody!”! Somebody help me! How can there be rats in the Hall of Heaven and Earth?
She had abdominal pain, as if something was falling from her body. The
palace people came running in a hurry. In the darkness of
giving birth, Anan touched the hand of the maid Xiaomao.
Empress! Empress.
Xiaomao was calling her anxiously. The lamp in the hall
of phoenix and Luan was lit. There is no sign of mice in the
palace. The chattering sounds
just now seemed like auditory hallucinations.
Anan was like a man who had been salvaged from the bottom of the deep water, panting with difficulty.
She said something in a daze.
Xiaomao didn’t hear clearly, so she put her ear close to her and heard her murmuring: “Holy..” Several palace people helped the queen back to the couch. The famous doctor from Sichuan and Shaanxi, who was ordered
by the emperor to protect the empress, came in a hurry, and several medical officers from the Palace Medical Office also came.
Sometimes Mammy came in with a basin, and sometimes she went out with a basin. The figure in the hall of
Feng Luan.
Nan lost a lot of blood, but she didn’t cry out.
People are curious, always see the palace or the people give birth to many, in the palace Zou queen is the only woman they have seen in this life when the birth does not cry pain.
Unusual silence, so that the delivery room of the Phoenix Hall is so different.
Nan opened her eyes wide and looked at the golden phoenix on the top of the tent, listening to the footsteps of people walking up and down in front of the bed, and the intense throbbing pain in her abdomen made her want to curl up in one place.
She pursed her lips tightly, her consciousness was a little scattered, the shadow of the candle was shaking, and she fainted.
Several years of happy grandmother looked at each other, the queen was unconscious, unable to work hard, the child was stuck in the birth canal, now can only take the risk, put his hand into the birth canal, pull the child out.
Xiaomao asked Chunhai, the supervisor in charge of the Fengluan Temple, “Where is the emperor resting tonight?”?
“Chunhai replied,” It is now the season of summer and autumn, and there is a flood in the Yellow River. The emperor and a group of adults are discussing the matter in Shang’s study, and he has told no one to disturb them.
Xiaomao looked at Nan on the bed and gritted his teeth. “I’m going to call the saint to come up.”. “Miss,”
said Chunhai, “I’m afraid if you go to Shang’s study, you won’t be able to see the emperor.
When Xiaomao heard this, he still stubbornly went out. In
Shang’s study, Emperor Cheng Haogang saw off his courtiers who were discussing the management of the flood. After the
ministers knelt down, the young emperor’s mood, which had been depressed for several days, lightened a lot, and the tight strings in his mind relaxed slightly. The chrysanthemum tea
at hand is already cold.
Cheng Hao picked it up and drank it down. Suddenly
, I heard a woman’s voice outside the door calling anxiously, “Your Majesty!”! Your Holiness! The guards stopped him, “The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him.”.
The maidservant is a member of the Fengluan Temple. She has something urgent to see the emperor. “No matter which palace you are from,” said
the bodyguard, “the emperor’s orders are the emperor’s orders and must be obeyed.
“The woman said in a loud voice,” It’s a big deal to give birth in the middle of the palace. Can’t you accommodate me?
The guards hesitated, not daring to offend the Hall of Phoenix and Luan, but not daring to rush into the hall to disturb the emperor.
The woman took advantage of their trance and rushed in directly.
She knelt on the ground with a splash and said, “Your Majesty, I beg you to move to the Phoenix Hall.”.
The empress fainted.
Cheng Hao had just finished drinking the chrysanthemum tea and looked at the woman.
He did not pay much attention to the palace people, but he knew that the maid in front of him was the head of the palace, the queen’s most trusted person in the palace.
He never paid any attention to her.
Tonight, see this situation, but feel that she is quite loyal and brave.
The guards had followed him in and were busy confessing their sins to the emperor.
Cheng Hao waved his hand and they retreated.
I remember, the empress still has half a month to go before she gives birth.
“” Yes.
But tonight, somehow, the empress alarmed the fetus and gave birth prematurely.
Xiaomao replied.
Cheng Hao said thoughtfully, Since ancient times, when a woman gives birth, it is like going through the gate of death. Since
the empress was born prematurely, the attendant doctor, the medical officers in the palace, and the happy mothers who specialized in women’s childbirth must have arrived.
Lonely to go, also can not enter the delivery room. It’s useless
to go there. It’s better to wait for good news here.
Your Majesty, the Empress was calling you before she fell into a coma. If
you can stay in the Fengluan Hall, the empress will certainly feel it. How happy
she would be to open her eyes and see you for the first time.
Xiaomao pleaded, tears rolling in her eyes, glittering like jade in the candlelight.
Cheng Hao’s heart softened a lot. The famous doctor
in Sichuan and Shaanxi told him early that the queen was a princess.
This is his first child, the eldest princess of the Holy Dynasty.
He got up and said, “Well, I’ll go with you.”. There was a smile
on Xiaomao’s face: “Thank you, Lord.”.
July has come to an end. The orchids in the
palace are blooming everywhere, and the air is fragrant.
No wonder people usually call July the Blue Moon. July is also called Ghost Month
among the people.
Legend has it that the gate of hell opened this month and closed again at the end of July.
Today is the last day of July. As soon as
Cheng Hao reached the Hall of the Phoenix Luan, he heard Mammy Xi’s voice: “It’s born!”! The empress gave birth! A beautiful princess! Xi Ma carried the child to the outer room, and Cheng Hao took it.
The child was different from ordinary newborn children. His voice was loud and clear, and he was happy instead of crying. When was the
princess born? “Just in time,” said Mam
my Xi.
That’s a new day. The
princess’s birthday is the beginning of August.
They all knelt on the ground and said, Congratulations to the emperor and the empress.
Cheng Hao looked at the baby in his arms.
The child has a pair of crystal clear eyes.
Hua Le’s clarity reminds Cheng Hao of the plum blossoms blooming to the extreme in the winter rain.
The attendant doctor, the medical officer, and the happy grandmother, as well as all the palace people in the Fengluan Hall, knelt in the room in the dark.
Cheng Hao looked up and said, “Reward.” The crowd hurriedly thanked him. The
hall was filled with jubilation. When
Nan was in a coma, he saw the woman in white again. Sometimes
she is a plum swaying in the wind, and sometimes she turns into a rain of flowers falling from the sky.
She smiled at Nan and cut her finger.
Her blood flowed out, turned into a medicine guide, and flowed into Anan’s abdomen. Why are
you doing this?
Nan asked her. As soon as
she waved her hand, a mirror lake appeared in front of her eyes. There were many pictures in the mirror lake, so clear.
Four seas and eight wastelands, Qilian Mountains.
A real dragon flew from the clouds and clouds, facing a white plum on the top of Qilian Mountain.
The real dragon circled Bai Mei and made a rain for her, a rain only related to her.
The white plum was affected by the rain of the real dragon, and became more and more immortal.
Later, the white plum turned into a beautiful woman, and the real dragon turned into a heroic man. They either flew through the clouds or played in the mountain streams. Snow often falls on the top of
the Qilian Mountains, and their heads turn white in the frolic.
People call the Qilian Mountains the White Mountains. It is covered with
white snow and has a white head for thousands of years.
The real dragon falls in love with the flower fairy, which violates the law of heaven.
The real dragon descends to the earth and becomes the son of heaven.
Bai Mei saw him off at the reincarnation stage and watched his soul enter the six paths.
Her tears fell on his palm and were sealed with all the memories.
Bai Mei was demoted to be a demon and protected his family and family name from generation to generation.
Nan was stunned. “Where are the real dragons now?”
She asked?
“The woman in white said with a smile,” If you get rid of a thousand years of debt in the world, you can see all the people in your heart.
She and he were punished by the Emperor of Heaven and could not see each other for a thousand years.
A thousand years later, she had known him for ten thousand years.
She believed that he must remember her, just as she had always remembered him.
His rivers and mountains are her thoughts in this thousand years of drifting.
He gave her a shower. The beginning of
everything is the rain.
Do you spend a thousand years waiting for someone?
“” Yes. Originally
, I always thought that people in the world were lost, and it turned out that immortals were also unavoidable. The skirt of the woman in
white was flying.
She smiled without a word. Had it not been for her loss, she would have been an immortal. Had it not been for her loss, she would not have had to live in the world.
But she never regretted her loss.
Nan watched her drift away and asked, “a thousand years is a long time. Where are you going?”? The voice of the woman in
white, with the fragrance of plum blossoms, floated between heaven and earth: Zou Anan, your daughter is not an ordinary person.
In the future, if you listen to her, you can save your life. If
you refuse to listen to her, your nightmare will be your end.
Your nightmare is your end, your nightmare is your end, your nightmare is your end.. This sentence, like a needle, pierced Anan’s mind.
She opened her eyes suddenly.
Cheng Hao sat at the head of her bed with the child in his arms.
“The Empress is awake!” Xiaomao wiped her tears with her cuff and hurriedly ordered Xiaogong to hand over a bowl of jujube porridge that had already been cooked.
The jujube porridge is soft and glutinous, and the temperature is just right.
Nan looked at Cheng Hao with a pale smile at the corners of his mouth: “The saint is coming up.”.
“Cheng Hao hugged the child closer and said,” Look, queen, the princess is very beautiful. I have never cried
since I fell to the ground, and I have always been happy.
“Ah Nan nodded.” If the emperor likes it, it’s very good.
The princess opened her wet eyes and looked at Cheng Hao and Nan for a while.
Cheng Hao said, “I want to name the princess Mian Zi and give her the title of Hua Le. What does the empress think?”?
“Ah Nan nodded,” Thank you, Lord. Once again, the
palace people knelt on the ground and said, I wish Princess Huale a thousand years of good health.
Cheng Hao handed the princess to the nurse who was standing by. Holding Nan’s hand,
he said, “This time the queen has suffered a lot, so she should rest a lot.”.
Nan shook his head. She
opened her mouth to say something about the mouse, thought about it, and then swallowed it.
Little Fu Anan half leaned on the bed and gently put the jujube porridge into her mouth.
That night, Cheng Hao lay on the couch, closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. The torture
he had given himself in his heart was finally over.
He had been vaguely afraid of the moment when the queen gave birth.
Although the famous doctors in Sichuan and Shaanxi told him that he would never misjudge.
But he still considered this possibility.
Nothing is perfect, Cheng Hao made a two-handed preparation.
The happy mothers have received a secret decree that if the queen gives birth to a prince, she will be born to suffocate.
However, he hesitated when Xiaomao called him.
He couldn’t bear to face that possibility.
Fortunately, the famous doctors in Sichuan and Shaanxi did not misjudge.
Milling, everyone is really happy.
Cheng Hao looked out of the window at the moon through the curtain.
Looking at the memorial and worrying for a long time, the flood finally had a new way to solve it.
The queen gave birth to a princess to avoid the embarrassment and embarrassment of killing their own flesh and blood.
Cheng Hao felt that everything was as he wished.
The next day, he issued a decree on the Hall of Golden Bells to “tighten the river and divert the Qing to the Yellow River.” As expected, the officials were in an uproar. Liu Cun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, who participated in the discussion in Shang’s study
last night, was the first to stand out and take a clear-cut stand in support of the emperor. As soon as the
wind blew, everyone understood.
Eventually, the emperor’s decree was issued smoothly.
Cheng Hao also took a high look at Liu Cun. At the beginning of
September, when Anan was in full confinement, she regained her prenatal agility.
She had wanted to keep him in the palace as a medical officer, but found that he had left without saying goodbye. The view of Anping in the
palace was empty, and there was no trace of his existence.
Ping Trace Fairy Shadow, nowhere to be found.
Nan sat on the big chair in the hall of phoenix and Luan, thinking about the sound of rats he heard on the night of birth.
It’s not an auditory hallucination.
She carefully inquired about the palace people and the Chamberlain who were keeping vigil that day, and found that the lamp oil was well prepared, which was the truth.
Had it not been for the rats eating the lamp oil and biting off the wick, how could the lamp suddenly go out? Where did
the rats come from?
Why did he disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye and search the whole palace, but he couldn’t find it? Who
is doing this on purpose? What is the
intention?
Xiaomao handed over a glass of water, and Anan drank it while thinking about the people in the harem. Kong Guiyi of
the Yanming Hall, pregnant with a child, and with the month, stayed in the Yanming Hall all day. She
is timid and talkative, and she doesn’t seem to be a person who does such things. Concu
bine Wan. Nan turned the cup in his hand. Concu
bine Wan often comes to the Palace of Phoenix and Luan, and there is an opportunity to do it.
No matter with which small palace people collude, secretly put a nest of mice in, but it is very possible.
And she said that the mouse is a smart thing.
She is a person who likes rats, and Xiao rats, it is inevitable that people associate her with rats.
Did she know the truth about the absence of the fetus in her abdomen and take revenge?
Nan looked at Xiaomao standing beside him and casually asked, “What do you think of this?”?
“Xiaomao thought for a moment and said slowly,” The rat is coming, the light is out, and the empress is screaming in your nightmare.
If something happens to you, you will satisfy her heart, and it will not be in vain for her to run to the Fengluan Palace.
But the empress and the princess are lucky and blessed by the gods. How can they be harmed by villains?
Nan held the cup in his hand a little tighter.
Do you also think it’s Concubine Wan?
“” Yes.
Nan took up the water in his cup, drank it up, and said quietly, “The emperor has said that General Zhennan’s mansion is still useful.”.
In this case, Wan Fei is now in the palace well.
Xiaomao bowed his head.
Let the inner court supervisor change two small chamberlains to go to Wanxin Court. The head of the
inner court supervisor must understand the meaning of the palace.
“” Yes. I remember
her mistakes. Not pursuing
at this time does not mean never pursuing.
Nan looked at Xiaomao from the corner of his eye.
Xiaomao bent over and said “yes” and went out.
A month later, several people in the Fengluan Palace were expelled from the palace because of physical discomfort or theft.
Those palace people had one thing in common: they were all the people who were on duty day and night when the empress gave birth.
On November 18, Kong Guiyi gave birth.
That night, the eldest son of the emperor was born in Yanming Hall.
The emperor gave him a name, saying, Shen. Look at the forest
in front of him, and look at his deer. In the name of the eldest son of the emperor,
the emperor prayed to God for a large number of children.
The Kong family stole the limelight in the court for a time. Kong Guiyi, who
had always been unremarkable, became the mother of the eldest son of the emperor. At the end of February of
the following year, as soon as the mourning period of the Empress Dowager was over, Liu Qingyi, the only daughter of Liu Cun, the seven young ladies of the Liu family and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, entered the palace and became the first concubine of the emperor after the mourning.
The emperor granted Liu Qingyi the position of five grades of Fangyi, and he lived in Wenyin Pavilion.
At that time, Princess Huale was already half a year old, and the eldest son of the emperor was more than three months old.
Wenyin Pavilion is on the east side of the Royal Lake, not far from Yanming Hall. After
Kong Lingyan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, he was promoted to the position of imperial concubine.
The emperor also gave him the title of “Xiang.”.
Yanming Hall is not what it used to be. Many women rushed to curry favor with him, and there was an endless stream of visitors in front of the door. Every night, the eldest son of
the emperor would not stop crying, and Xiangfei felt very tired and had no time to deal with the visitors.
Fortunately, Xiao Chan, the dowry maid she brought into the palace from her mother’s Confucian family, was very capable and considerate in dealing with people and things.
She helped Xiangfei to take care of the affairs of Yanming Hall, and among the people in the harem and the women in the imperial court, she was smooth and smooth. The
medical officer who served Kong Lingyan told the emperor that Concubine Xiang was short in stature, but the eldest son of the emperor was born quite big. Therefore, because Concubine Xiang gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she suffered a great loss of body and Qi and blood.
The emperor took care of the efforts of the Kong family all the time, and also sympathized with Xiangfei’s suffering for giving birth to the eldest son of the emperor, so he decreed that the mother of Kong Lingyan should be named the wife of Yipin.
Spring is coming strongly, and flowers are blooming in the palace. The fragrance of flowers wafted through
the palaces and courtyards.
The wind is soft, with a trace of sweetness. In the morning of the
Phoenix Hall, as soon as Nan got up, Concubine Wan came.
She is the first to pay her respects every day.
She likes Princess Hua Le.
Coincidentally, Princess Hua Le also seemed to like to see her and often giggled at her.
Although Wanfei was a person who had never raised a child, she often held Princess Huale in her arms and was reluctant to let go. Once
, when Princess Hua Le urinated on her cloud satin dress, she was not angry. She lit the princess’s nose and called her naughty.
Today, Wan Fei saluted Anan and habitually took the princess from the nurse. “Be careful, Concubine Wan,” she said
with a smile. “Now the princess likes to grab people’s earrings and hairpins.
“Concubine Wan smiled.” It doesn’t matter.
Pull and let her pull.
It doesn’t hurt. What are you
afraid of. She had learned a little vocal imitations from the old servant when she
was young, and she could imitate the sounds of birds. Princess
Hua Le looked at her with big eyes, one big and one small, smiling like two women.
Nan finished grooming and sat demurely on the chair in the middle of the main hall.
Liu Qingyi came and knelt respectfully on the ground to salute. Liu Cun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of
Works, married three wives and concubines and had six sons.
The eldest lady was nearly forty years old, and she gave birth to a legitimate daughter.
Liu Qingyi is very popular in the house, is the apple of the eye of the family. As soon as
she entered the palace, her position was the last one. For a moment, it seemed that she could hardly accept the drop of kneeling when she saw people. Her eyebrows and eyes showed a competitive spirit that could not be concealed.
She saluted Anan and then saluted Concubine Wan, who was holding the child in her arms.
Nan called Xiaomao to give tea.
She took the tea, sat down, and said to Nan with a smile, “Has the empress heard?”?
Nan smiled shallowly and did not answer her tone. “All the people in the palace are talking about it,”
she said to herself. “It should have been your mother’s kindness. How could it be someone else’s turn?”? Although
the emperor meant to sympathize with her subordinates, she should know some sense of propriety and not dare to go uphill on the ladder. Little Chan, the maid in charge of
the Yanming Hall, is very talkative. She often says that she used to be trained by the wife of Yipin.
If there is no eldest son of the emperor, where there is a life of the lady?
Nan still smiled and did not speak.
The empress’s mother’s family should indeed accept the favor, but the Zou family has no one now, who will accept the favor? Liu Fangyi
must have known this, but she just wanted to encourage the empress to govern Xiangfei and vent her anger.
As for why there is gas.
Heh.
Wenyin Pavilion is adjacent to Yanming Pavilion. Looking at other people’s flowers and brocades every day, I feel jealous. Concu
bine Wan was outspoken and said, “Sister, did the emperor go to Yanming Hall last night? Did the emperor pass by your door?”?
“Liu Fang-yi sneered,” I always talk about the eldest son of the emperor. If I have something or not, I call the emperor to come up.
According to my concubine, it’s just a reason.
What kind of discomfort?
What night cry?
It’s not a rat. It’s only at night that the
rats make a ruckus! Concubine Wan looked at the princess, but her eyes turned to Liu Fang-yi. “What a sour taste!” She said with a smile! I don’t even need to put vinegar when I eat dumplings at noon today. All the palace people
present covered their mouths and snickered.
Liu Fangyi pouted with chagrin. Of all the people in
the harem, she was the youngest, and she often spoke without warning.
The emperor praised her for her charm.
A Nan is very tolerant to her, never reprimands, no matter what she says, as a gust of wind in the ear, passed, then passed.
At the moment, her words, but let a Nan heart slightly move.
At that moment, the Chamberlain outside announced, “Empress Xiang has arrived.” Kong Lingyan came in leisurely.
She was followed by Xiao Chan and the palace people, as well as the nurse holding the eldest son of the emperor. According to the rules, after Xiangfei kowtowed to pay her respects, the
nurse knelt on the ground with the emperor’s eldest son in her arms and said, “The prince respectfully asks his mother, Queen Jin An.”.
Anan excused himself and gave him a seat. When the eldest son of the
emperor raised his eyes and saw Princess Hua Le in the arms of Concubine Wan, he cried out.
The nurse was busy hugging and coaxing, but she couldn’t coax her in any case. Embarrassed,
Kong Lingyan confessed.
Nan shook his head.
“Then he added,” Is the prince’s night crying still not getting better?
“Kong Lingyan said,” Back to the empress, not only is it not getting better, but it seems to be getting worse. The Chinese medical officer of the
medical officer’s office prescribed a prescription last time, saying that he took seven morning glory seeds, mashed them, mixed them into paste with warm water, and applied them to the navel before going to bed.
I tried it.
Still has little effect.
The nurse held the prince in her arms and coaxed him.
Left the hall, walked to the eaves, seemed to be better, crying gradually stopped. “The prince doesn’t seem to like coming here very much,”
said Anan.
Sister, take the child and go back.
You don’t have to bring your son to pay your respects every day. When the
intention arrived, the palace received it.
Kong Lingyan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, My concubine is frightened.
The empress is his legitimate mother. How could he not like coming here.
He should have come every day to pay his respects.
“Then Liu Fang-yi said,” Respect for Zhonggong is in my heart, not in my mouth. If Sister Xiangfei was really frightened, she shouldn’t have missed the time to pay her respects and come so late.
I know. Say you’re here to pay your respects.
I don’t know. I thought you were here to show off.
“You!” Kong Lingyan always talked little. Even if she was extremely angry and her face was red, she did not have Liu Fangyi’s sharp tongue. Is this the way the daughter of the
Liu family doesn’t know who she is? Said Xiao Chan, the maid of
Kong Lingyan.
Liu Fang-yi said, “There is an order of superiority and inferiority, and everything is in order.”.
I don’t know whether you are superior or inferior, or this palace? Is it your turn to interrupt when the
masters are talking?
Or is it that Yanming Hall now thinks it has an identity, even if it is a servant, it also knows how to deceive people?
Xiaomao coughed lightly.
They looked at Nan’s face and stopped talking.
Kong Lingyan bowed his head and said, I really shouldn’t have missed the time to pay my respects.
But last night, because of my son’s crying, I didn’t sleep until midnight, so. It was the fault of the minister and concubine who apologized to the empress.
“Ah Nan smiled and said,” My sister’s words are too serious.
Sister’s difficulties, how can this palace not know? When
Liu Fangyi first entered the palace, she was young and did not hide her mouth. We all served the emperor together. We were all sisters. Don’t haggle with her.
Come to think of it, the emperor also wants our harem to be friendly.
“” Yes.
Kong Lingyan beckoned to the nurse to bring in the prince, and she wanted to kneel down and retire.
Who would have thought that the nurse was holding him past Princess Huale, who was being held by Concubine Wan. As soon as Princess Huale reached out her hand, she scratched the prince’s face. The child’s hand was tender, and the scratch was not heavy, but the prince cried desperately.
In this compartment, Princess Huale in the arms of Concubine Wan opened her eyes wide and ate her hands innocently, as if she did not feel that she had done something wrong.
Kong Lingyan was distressed to death. Concubine Wan, who was holding the
princess in her arms, looked up and saw that there was no trace left on the prince’s face. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, it’s not heavy.”. As soon as
Kong Lingyan heard this, all morning’s accumulated anger flared up: What does Sister Wan mean by that?
You have never been a mother, and you don’t know her heartache.
Even if the grasp is not heavy, the son is also surprised, no small matter, how can be careless? Why are you so careless when you
hold the baby?
The phrase “I have never been a mother” stabbed Concubine Wan.
She was pregnant at the same time as Kong Lingyan, and her position was higher than that of Kong Lingyan.
As a result, she had a miscarriage, but Kong Lingyan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor.
Although in the same imperial concubine, but because Kong Lingyan has the imperial title, abruptly more noble than her.
With what? Now
she scolded herself in front of so many people. Did she think that she had given birth to a son and was really going to heaven?
“Oh, who is Empress Xiangfei talking about?”?
Child home, grab, is not intentional, the hand is not heavy, Xiangfei empress why so big reaction?
Is it aimed at the concubine, or at the princess?
Or, for the empress?
“Hu Wanchi, you.” Kong Lingyan stood up and pointed at her. “Don’t sow dissension here.” She choked up, as if she had a lot to say, but she was not good at words, so she could only retort in her heart and become angry.
She cried out.
“You, you can’t tolerate the child. I’m going to find the emperor and let him judge.” She held the child in her arms and walked out of the Phoenix Hall.
Old Nan shook his head gently. “The maidservant is worried that if Concubine Xiang is angry in the Fengluan Hall today, she will mention it in front of the emperor,” she
said.
Even if Xiangfei did not mention it, it was hard to guarantee that the palace people around her would not mention it.
Although Princess Hua Le’s grasp of the prince’s face was not heavy, it was said by others that it might change the taste.
If the emperor thinks that our Fengluan Palace is in charge of the middle palace and bullies the mother and son of Xiangfei, then.. After a pause, she added, “It would be better for you, the empress, to make your own statement first, to show that you are open and aboveboard.”.
Xiaomao looked at Anan with worried and concerned eyes.
Nan said thoughtfully, Concubine Xiang has always had a quiet character, and she comes from an aristocratic family. I don’t think she’ll go to court.
But the little Chan beside her is hard to say. From the way
Xiao Chan scolded Liu Fangyi at that time, we could see that she was not a good lover.
“Besides, the empress, think about it.” Xiaomao’s voice sank. “The prince can’t sleep well every night, and he loves to cry. If he makes trouble again in the future, he will say that he was frightened by Princess Huale in the Fengluan Palace today. He was frightened, and it became more and more serious. Is that clear?
Nan lowered his head and blew the water in the cup.
The water rippled round and round.
Then do as you say.
Xiaomao answered and took Princess Huale from Concubine Wan and went out. Liu Fang-yi, who was sitting
beside her, could not help but feel a little flustered when she heard the words “complain.”.
She repeatedly satirized Xiangfei today, if Xiao Chan went to complain, I’m afraid she can’t get rid of it.
She got up and knelt down to Nan.
Only Wanfei and Judas sat on the chair and drank the tea handed by the palace people.
Nan looked at her and said with a smile, “Isn’t my sister worried about being blamed by the emperor?”?
The emperor likes those who are sensible, but he doesn’t like those who make trouble.
Empress, you must know best.
Cheng Hao has been trying his best to prove his ability since he came to power. I spent much more time in the Qinzheng Palace
every day than in the harem.
Na’s several concubines were also the result of weighing the political affairs of the former Dynasty.
He did not pay special attention to any woman, nor did he stay in any palace for too long. When Concu
bine Wan finished, she said meaningfully, “The little girl beside the empress is a thoughtful person..” At the end of the conversation, he turned a corner and said, “I’m afraid it’s a little too thoughtful.”.
Nan looked at Concubine Wan, who had married into the palace on behalf of Miss Hu. How did she lose her child? Did she know or not? Over the past few months,
she has been enthusiastic about the palace. Is she really just trying to find someone to rely on for herself.
Her care and love for the princess seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. Does
she really want to be her own arm?
I grew up in the palace and have known Xiaomao for many years.
She used to be the daughter of the sewing Mammy in the Hall of Gankun, and she was also the only bosom friend in the palace.
However, when Feng Luan was in charge of the palace, he asked the inner court supervisor for her to be the maid in charge. After more than
ten years of affection, she could not help thinking more about this palace. As
Nan spoke, the scene of his childhood seemed to come to mind.
She likes to wear plain clothes, wear divinatory symbols and read obscure ancient books, which is incompatible with children of the same age.
Moreover, although she was raised in the Qiankun Palace, she had no name, neither master nor servant, and many palace people did not take her seriously.
Xiaomao has always cared for her.
Xiaomao is the same age as her.
One year Glutinous Rice Balls for Lantern Festival, Nan went to sleep and heard someone knocking at the window.
It was Xiaomao. She was reluctant to eat half of the assorted duck awarded by
her master, so she shared it with Miss Anan.
Xiaomao used to call her “Miss Anan.”.
Xiaomao is the only one who doesn’t feel that Anan’s dull appearance has a sense of distance.
Nan’s heart is separated from the people outside by a long and deep corridor.
And Xiaomao is the person who comes and goes in this corridor every day. She says those unspeakable words for Anan and does those undoable things for Anan. A Nan on the
Phoenix seat is always quiet. Concu
bine Wan sighed, “There is a saying that we are not close to each other.”.
I shouldn’t have talked about the people around the empress.
However, the authorities said they were confused and watched the trial.
My concubine thought that although the empress was a very intelligent person, sometimes her eyes were temporarily covered by clouds, so she had more words. With
that, she drank all the tea in the cup and knelt down from her seat.
A Nan looked at her back, thinking, the next time Zhennan general returned to Beijing to report on his work, he had to find a reason to let him take his third aunt to Beijing, so that Wan Fei could see his mother in the mansion of Hu Jiajing.
As for Xiaomao. Nan’s hand turning the cup slowed down.
She wanted to look down again.
In this compartment, Xiaomao walked to Shang’s study with Princess Huale in her arms.
Just as Cheng Hao finished criticizing Jiang You’s folding, he fell on the desk. When he looked up, he heard a burst of baby laughter.
He got up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and saw the smiling daughter in Xiaomao’s arms.
The baby girl’s eyes seemed to have a large starlight, splashing bright and twinkling all over the room.
He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, took her, and called out, “Milling.”. The dark clouds accumulated
in government affairs were blown away in an instant. Princess
Hua Le looked at him and grabbed the golden crown on his head with her little white and soft hands.
He pinched her little face. “Do you like crowns?”? Princess
Hua Le leaned on his shoulder and nodded in all seriousness.
Cheng Hao looked up and burst out laughing.
A moment later, he asked Xiaomao, “Why do you want to bring Mi’er to Shang’s study today?”?
It’s the queen. What’s the matter with Gu? With fear on her face
, she knelt on the ground.
Today, Concubine Wan was holding the princess in her arms. The princess accidentally grabbed the prince in her arms. Although it was not heavy, the prince burst into tears. Concubine Xiang was so distressed that she quarreled with Concubine Wan. Liu Fangyi was also involved. Em
press Xiangfei was unhappy when she left the palace.
The empress knew that the princess had done something wrong, so she ordered the maidservant to hold the princess in her arms and apologize to the emperor.
The maidservant felt that the princess was not wrong, the empress was not wrong, but the maidservant, as the head of the palace, did not take good care of the princess.
“She kowtowed.” The slave deserves to die.
Her words took all the people in the harem with them, but they were not disorderly and clear. When
Cheng Hao heard this, he shook his head. “What’s the matter with being alone?”. It doesn’t
sound like it matters. You don’t have to die at every turn.
“He looked at Princess Hua Le in his arms and said,” She’s a boy, but she’s a little too delicate. Every time I go to Yanming Hall, I hear her crying endlessly.
But mill, although is a princess, but always smiling, has the royal atmosphere demeanor.
Xiaomao was still kneeling on the ground and dared not get up.
Cheng Hao said, “Ling Yan suffered a lot when she gave birth to a child, so she paid extra attention to it.”.
Gu yuan also understands.
But she is a well-read woman of an aristocratic family, how can she not know the truth that too much is not enough? How can a
royal man be spoiled too much.
“As for Concubine Wan and Liu Fang-yi,” he frowned slightly. “What kind of decency is it to make a noise in the palace?
You tell the queen, reprimand, reprimand.
Harem should have the rules of harem.
Nowadays, there are only a few people in the lonely harem, and it is such a mess.
Once upon a time, there were hundreds of people in Taizu’s harem. How did Empress Dowager Gao control it?
The queen should think about it.
“Xiaomao bowed her head and said,” The empress has the style of the mother of the country, and the emperor is lenient.
“Cheng Hao smiled and said,” You are a loyal girl who protects the Lord everywhere. Holding Hua Le in his arms,
he went to the Fengluan Palace. Today is the whole day. I’ll rest for half a day and go to the middle palace to accompany the empress.
The emperor arrived at the middle palace.
Nan came out, with soft joy between his eyebrows and eyes. Every time
she looked at Cheng Hao holding Milling, she felt that the incomplete uneasiness in her heart was the perfection of the nine-winding ileum.
“Milling loves to laugh so much, but it reminds me of a person..” Cheng Hao had a moment of trance, woke up from a pure dream, realized that the queen was in front of him, and realized that he should not have said such a thing.
The quiet water shines on each other and wakes up from a clear dream. The old friend’s words are few.
Nan saw his embarrassment and pretended not to hear.
She didn’t ask who she looked like.
She knew what he wanted to say was Shen Qinghuan.
It was a sore that she could never fill, so she simply stepped over it.
In the evening, a Nan and Cheng Hao just entered the bed to rest, then heard a noisy voice. “What’s going on?” Asked
Cheng Hao?
“The boat answered through the curtain,” Sir, it seems that there is a lot of noise in the Wenyin Pavilion.
Wen Yin Pavilion?
After a while, I heard Liu Fangyi crying: “Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I have been wronged..” “Let the emperor rest in peace,” said Anan, “and let me and my concubines handle the affairs of the harem.
You don’t have to bother.
“Cheng Hao got up and put on his dragon boots.” I’d like to see what’s going on in the harem in the middle of the night?
Xiaozhou, you go to bring them to the palace, and I will try them in person.
“” Yes.
The emperors and empresses came to the courtyard one after another.
Half a cup of tea, torches all over the yard. Kong Liang, commander of the
imperial guards, knelt on the ground and told the whole story: “Your Majesty, I’m on duty in the palace tonight. The brothers on patrol found a strange man sneaking around outside the Wenyin Pavilion. At first they thought it was a bodyguard who had become a thief, but when they caught him, they realized it wasn’t a man in the palace, but a man outside the palace.”?
“” Yes.
It was an old friend of Empress Liu Fangyi before she entered the palace.
In the middle of the night, a man outside the palace wanders around the palace. Everyone knows what this means. Under
the torch, the man tied by rattan was dressed in white and had beautiful features.
Fang Shi Cheng Hao listened to Kong Liang’s words and looked gloomy. The man in white tied up on the
ground seemed to want to say something, but because his mouth was blocked, he could only whine vaguely.
The Chamberlain brought a soft chair and Cheng Hao sat down.
One side of Liu Fangyi while holding the veil to wipe tears, while kneeling to Cheng Hao’s feet shouting injustice.
Cheng Hao stretched out his hand and raised Liu Fangyi’s chin. “Who is he?” He asked coldly?
This woman, who had been in the palace for less than a month, Cheng Hao admitted that he had treated her well.
A Nan stood at Cheng Hao’s side with a pale face.
She noticed that no matter how wronged Liu Fang-yi shouted the word “wronged,” she never dared to look at the man tied up on the ground. Hearing the noise
at first, a Nan thought that Kong Liang was just venting his anger on his own sister Kong Lingyan, taking advantage of his position as commander of the imperial guards to frame him.
But now it seems that it is not so simple.
Come to think of it. What kind of person is
Kong Liang?
Once the leader of Yu Lin Wei, who grew up wrestling with Cheng Hao, how could he not understand Cheng Hao? How could
he do such an obvious and stupid trick to deceive his superiors?
A Nan glanced at the man on the ground, unexpectedly saw a small mirror hanging from his waist, and saw the lower end of his cuff, drawing the Eight Diagrams.
She stared into his eyes.
This man is not a Taoist, but an alchemist. The alchemists
of Langya took the five elements of Yin and Yang as their sect, and they were full of sorcery and miscellaneous language, and the evil spirits were not involved.
These people have no intention to cultivate Taoism and make profits by divination.
However, in the aristocratic circle of Shangjing, it is quietly popular.
Nan’s heart became clear.
It is strange that Kong Liang is so righteous and so happy.
Liu Fangyi is not wronged.
Even if it’s not a romantic case, it’s no small matter to do tricks in the palace.
This is a taboo for kings.
Liu Fangyi sobbed and replied repeatedly, “Your Majesty, I am innocent. Don’t listen to the treacherous words. I haven’t done anything wrong to you..” Think about it, even if I am confused again, regardless of my own life, I should also take care of the lives of all the people in my mother’s Liu family, take care of the future of my father, how can I lose my virtue.. So you know how to take care of your mother’s family.
I ask again, who is he?
Cheng Hao’s hand was heavy by one point.
He.. My concubine was ill, and he was the doctor whose mother sent my concubine to the palace.
Who would have thought that before he stepped into the door of Wenyin Pavilion, he was caught by Lord Kong as a thief.
My concubine knew that it must be because my concubine had contradicted Xiangfei’s sister and wanted to make use of the topic to retaliate against my concubine.
My poor concubine doesn’t have such a good brother as Lord Kong in the palace.. “Shut up!” Cheng Hao gave a loud shout. Liu Fangyi was so
frightened that she abruptly took back the sobs that ran to her throat.
She looked at Cheng Hao in panic. Even if
you’re sick, there are so many medical officers in the palace that they can’t look down on you?
To say the least, the medical officers in the palace are not as good as you want. If you want to invite a doctor to come in from outside the palace, you should also ask for a decree from the palace, pass through the inner court supervisor, and ask for justice.
You call a strange man into the palace in the middle of the night, violate the rules of the palace, and pollute the palace. If you don’t want this life? Said
Cheng Hao in a harsh voice. When
Liu Fangyi saw that the emperor’s anger was no small matter, she quickly kowtowed again and again: “I beg the emperor to calm down. I know I’m wrong. I know I’m wrong..” What did you intend to do when you called him into the palace? If
you wear out Gu’s patience, Gu will not examine you and send you to Sansi Yamen.
By then, the situation will be different from now.
Liu Fang-yi was pushed to the extreme and had to stammer out the truth. She has been used to being praised by the stars since she
was a child. Before she entered the palace, she was quite confident. She always felt that once she entered the palace, she would be favored.
However, after entering the palace, I found that it was not too much.
The emperor treated the empress, Xiangfei, and even Wanfei better than she.
Depressed in her heart, she remembered that her mother, Lady Liu, usually had a trusted alchemist who had some ability, so she wanted to call him into the palace and do something to keep the heart of the emperor. “Ridiculous!” Cheng Hao scolded and fell silent. As soon as the daughter of the
Liu family entered the palace, such a thing happened. It was not pleasant to hear after all. Such a thing in the palace only added to the jokes.
In addition, the existence of Liu above the court is indeed a capable person with a wink, the Yellow River flood has just stopped, he made a great contribution, now rashly dispose of his daughter, it is hard to avoid speculation.
Cheng Hao thought for a moment and stood up. The scene
in front of him made him upset, and he wanted to go to the Hall of Heaven and Earth alone to be quiet.
He said to Nan, “Queen, I’ll leave it to you. You can deal with it as you see fit.”.
Gu believes that you and Gu have the same heart, and you must know what to do.
“Nan thought for a moment, then bent over and said,” Yes.
“Cheng Hao looked at Kong Liang again and said,” This thing started in the palace and ended in the palace.
“Kong Liang immediately understood what the emperor meant.” Yes, “he said. When
Cheng Hao finished, he did not even look at Liu Fang-yi, nor did he even look at the man tied up on the ground. He strode out of the Hall of the Phoenix Luan.
The boat hurried after him.
Kong Liang then saluted Anan and retired.
Nan smiled and said, “Ah Liang, you, the commander of the imperial guards, have a good eye. You can see clearly when you catch people, and you can see clearly the face of the emperor.”.
Nan hasn’t called him that for a long time.
Cheng Hao, a Nan, Kong Liang, Shen Qinghuan, they are all about the same age, they have known each other since they were young in the palace.
Before Anan entered the palace, Kong Liang often played a few jokes with her. No matter what
he said, Nan smiled faintly and did not respond. He has never played a joke with Anan
since the news of the big wedding was drawn up. Between
each other, never again so casually called the name.
Tonight, when Ah Nan casually called out “Ah Liang,” Kong Liang had a lot of feelings in his heart.
He sighed and said, “What is the empress going to do with these two men?”?
“Ah Nan said with a straight face,” Liu Fang-yi. “” My concubine.. I am here. If you
violate the rules of the palace, you will be grounded for half a year, and you will not be allowed to step out of the Wenyin Pavilion.
Penalty of one year’s salary. Do
you have any objection?
My concubine.. No objection.
Liu Fang-yi replied with trepidation.
You go down. Don’t be confused
in the future.
You must always remember that you are now a concubine of the emperor, not a young lady of the Liu family who has not yet left the cabinet, and you can act foolishly according to your own temperament.
This is the imperial palace, not the back garden of your Liu Mansion.
My concubine obeys the teachings of the empress.
Grounding, for what happened tonight, is already a pardon.
Liu Fangyi kowtowed and hurried down.
Nan sat on the soft chair where Cheng Hao had just sat and looked at the man on the ground. With a wave of
her hand, the little Chamberlain tore off the cloth stuffed in the man’s mouth. “Thank you, Empress,” said the
man, gasping for breath.
This man has a good skin, a handsome spirit, and a face like a crown of jade.
If you don’t observe carefully, I think he is a scholar who went to the capital to take the exam.
It’s no wonder that everyone thought of tonight as a scandal at first. What’s
your name?
Nan asked.
Cao Mingyu paid his respects to Feng Jiacheng.
The man gasped for breath, knelt on the ground, and made a big gift to Anan.
“Surplus..” Kong Liang, who was standing to one side, seemed to remember something: “This name is very familiar. It seems that he is a person who specializes in confusing the ladies in the capital.”.
It is said that many people asked him to draw amulets to save her husband’s heart, and many people asked him to make alchemy to keep his face.
“Ah Nan said lightly,” That must have some effect, so it will confuse people.
“Yu said,” Compared with the empress, the shallow skills of the grass people are not worth mentioning.
Walking in Jianghu is enough.
Do the math, what will I do with you tonight?
“Yu bowed his head and said,” The grass people have calculated that the empress will certainly not embarrass the grass people.
Nan said with a sneer, I hate people who think they’re smart the most in my life, and I even hate people who want to plot against the heart of the emperor.
He did not know the depth of heaven and earth, and promised to do something for Liu Fangyi to obtain the Sacred Heart. How can
Sacred Heart be schemed by the alchemist of Langya? Strike a hundred with a
stick and throw it out of the palace.
Nan spits out these eight words slowly.
With the rest of the body in front of you, hit a hundred sticks, and even if you don’t die, you’ll lose half your life.
The guards answered and came forward to hold Yu.
At this moment, Yu suddenly shouted, “Nan Mei Tou –” Mei Tou, in the Baiyue dialect.
Nan’s mother was married to Yuhang by Baiyue. In
this huge world, Anan has only heard her mother call her “Nan Mei Tou.”. The
elder brother Anan was stunned and looked at the white-clothed alchemist in front of him.
The guards supported him, and he suddenly looked at Nan and smiled.
The deference and formality had disappeared from his face.
It seemed that sitting in front of him was not a high queen, but an ordinary woman who was very familiar with him.
Nan Mei Tou.
He called to her again. Who are
you?
Nan said coldly.
Nan Meitou, I am your elder brother.
“Nan had a slightly sullen look on his face.” Nonsense. I
never knew there was a brother in this palace.
I struggled, as if trying to pull something out of my body.
Nan said, “Let him go.”.
The bodyguard loosened Yu’s hand, and Yu took out a hairpin from his bosom. The shape of
the hairpin was very special. It was made of white marble, engraved with the Eight Diagrams of Yin and Yang, and a blooming peach blossom.
Nan can remember things very early.
She recognized that it was her mother’s hairpin. The picture of the Eight Diagrams of Yin and Yang and the peach blossoms
on it were carved by his father Zou Qin, who gave it to his mother as a birthday gift.
Seeing this hairpin, Anan’s memory was dragged to the age of three. When
his father died of illness, the whole Zou family was shrouded in clouds, and everyone said that the family seemed to have the misfortune of a short life that was hard to get rid of.
The secret of heaven can not be counted, but the human heart can not be counted. How many
ancient diviners have come to a good end? Before
her father’s mourning period was over, her mother’s family came to a sedan chair to take her to remarry.
Baiyue is in the southeast, near the sea, with a little barbarian wind, where women do not have the rules of mourning. The word “peach” on the
jade hairpin hides the mother’s name.
Mother’s name is Fan Hongyu.
Because Li He has the poem cloud: “The condition is the youth day will be dusk, the peach blossom falls disorderly like the red rain.”.
Therefore, later generations used red rain as another name for peach blossom. The year
her mother gave birth to Anan, on the day of her birthday, she missed her hometown and wept against the window. The
father made this jade hairpin for her and said to her, “Ah Tao, when the child grows up, I will accompany you back to Baiyue to visit relatives.”.
But before that day, my father passed away.
Life is like a flower hanging on the branch, I don’t know when it will bloom and when it will fall.
The mother is the fourth daughter of the maternal grandfather.
Fan’s Medical Center is quite famous in Baiyue.
In the past year, my grandfather and my grandfather had some friendship and decided to marry their children. Less than five years after
his mother married into the Zou family, his father died of illness.
Mother walked out of the door of Zou’s house in Anan’s eyes and did not look back.
Nan ran outside the door with his mother.
She was naturally stubborn and did not say a word of detainment, but she held the corner of the curtain tightly.
The mother bent down and said, “Sister Nan, are you reluctant to part with your mother?”?
Nan was silent.
“Nanmeitou,” said the mother, with a brash sound in her voice, as if the sea had been exposed to the sun for a long time.
Youth is coming to an end. Your father is gone, and your mother has nothing to think about in this Zou family. Do you understand?
Nan remained silent.
“Life is so long that I can’t count it. My mother is only twenty-two, and she’s going to live her own life.” She gently stroked the hair in front of Anan’s forehead.
Nan Meitou, would you like to go with your mother?
Nan shook his head.
She said softly, “Dad says that if you leave the Zou family, you will no longer be a member of the Zou family.”. The
mother said no more to her, but gritted her teeth and got into the sedan chair.
Nan chased the sedan chair in silence until he could not run any more, sweating profusely and lying on the ground feebly.
She thought that her mother must have heard her footsteps, but she still insisted on moving forward. Why can’t the
mother keep the thoughts that the father had given before his death, keep the spirit tablet, and spend the rest of her life. Can
a person really fall in love with two people in this life?
Nan thought that if he were himself, he would not do so.
No matter what, no matter what happened.
If the person he loved died, Nan felt that he would die with him. The Mandarin ducks do not sleep alone when they
are still in the dark.
One can only love one person in one’s life.
In the sky and on the ground, the yellow spring falls.
She has never been able to get over her mother’s remarriage.
In her heart, her mother betrayed her father, and also betrayed the love and happiness of the original couple.
Leaving the door of the Zou family is not a member of the Zou family.
However, when she first ascended the throne, the inner court supervisor asked the empress if there were any relatives alive in her mother’s family, and she only said two words lightly: no one.
Now she took the jade hairpin from Yu’s hand and snapped, “Why do you have my mother’s things in your hand?”? “On the eighth day of the eighth month,” said
Yu, “the sweet osmanthus blossoms.
At three o’clock, the rain suddenly fell.
The Zou family is happy to give birth to a daughter, Anan.
Nan Meitou, I know the eight characters of your birthday.
Your mother is also my mother.
Nan was silent for a moment.
She figured it out.
Mother wanted to remarry to the Yu family. The so-called “elder brother”
in front of him must be a child of the Yu family, and his mother made him a house-filling stepmother.
The elder brother, who had seven turns and eight turns, had no blood relationship with her.
The night is very deep.
Small flying insects danced under the lampshade, and a cool breeze blew in Nan’s face.
She asked, “Where is mother now? Is she all right?”?
Yu bowed his head and said, She died of illness last fall. Before
you die, give me this jade hairpin and let me come to you.
She didn’t know where you were going and thought you were still in Yuhang.
So, at first, I went to Zou Mansion in Yuhang according to the address she left me. After
several rounds, I realized that you had gone to the capital and become a queen.
I I’m a civilian, and I can’t get into the palace. I’ve thought of a lot of ideas, but none of them work. A Nan thought about the Liu Fangyi incident tonight, which is thought-provoking.
Could it be that he deliberately planned to become famous in the capital and deliberately planned to get close to the family of the empresses and concubines in order to have a chance to enter the palace one day? Did
he see her to tell her that he was dead?
“Died of illness last fall.” These words fell like a big stone into Anan’s heart.
Although she hated her mother’s departure and her mother’s fickleness, her mother’s death was another matter.
Since then, between heaven and earth, there is no place to come, only the desolate and unknown way home. As soon as
I was born, my birth mother died in childbirth.
As far as I’m concerned, the birth mother has no impression. When
I was four years old, my mother married into the Yu family and treated me as her own child. I always regarded her as my mother. When
he said this, his eyes were red. Mother is thinking about you.
She hopes you don’t blame her. Kong Liang, who was standing to
one side, said to Ah Nan in a whisper, The empress should not rashly recognize her relatives. Since she came to the capital, she has become famous for witchcraft. She is not a simple character.
Wait for me to investigate for you, and then you make a decision.
“Ah Nan nodded and said,” Ah Liang, take him to Anping Temple.
It has been vacant since the doctor left. I’m tired
tonight. I’m a little confused. I’ll try him again tomorrow.
“Kong Liang said worriedly,” Empress, you left him in the palace. If Your Majesty knew, would he..? ” “Don’t worry,” said Anan. “I have a sense of propriety in my heart, and I will give Your Majesty a proper explanation.
“She raised her forehead and said,” The Japanese Palace is tired today. Let’s all go down.
“Yes,” said Kong Liang.
Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Nan.
Nan waved his hand and motioned him to step down.
“Nan Meitou,” Nan interrupted, “Call me the queen of this palace.
“I bowed my head and said,” Yes.
The people are all gone.
The Phoenix Hall is still brightly lit.
Nan went back to bed and lay down.
She watched the candle at the head of the bed flicker and flicker, and she herself did not know why she had ordered Kong Liang to stay.
Perhaps, subconsciously, she is still eager for family affection.
She seemed to be three years old again, and she was a little girl running with her mother’s sedan chair.
She ran and ran. What is
she chasing?
Yu said that his mother was thinking about himself before she died.
This sentence gives Anan a kind of heartache satisfaction.
She grasped the jade hairpin, which was the news of the mother clan. If the
grass people can figure it out, the empress will certainly not embarrass the grass people.
“Oh, this divination, unexpectedly let him calculate right.”.
Apologize this night, a Nan tosses and turns, did not sleep.
Her mind was full of the old house of the Zou family outside the city of Yuhang, and the few moments in her memory that accompanied her father and mother.
His mother’s name was “Red Rain,” and there were many peach trees in the house.
In spring, when it rains, the smoke and water are boundless, and the white fog in the south of the Yangtze River gives the peach forest a layer of dreamlike light.
Father, mother.
Nan shouted in his heart.
They disappeared from her sight and turned into a wisp of dust in the air. In the
fifth watch of the night, Nan rose from the couch.
She did not take the palace attendant, a person out of the door of the Phoenix Hall, unconsciously went to the direction of Anping Temple.
Over the years, Anan never inquired about her mother’s news, did not ask her about the family she remarried, how her husband was, and how her mother was doing.
She was afraid that if her mother had a good life in that family, she would be sad; if she had a bad life, she would also be sad.
At this time, she especially wanted to learn a few words about her mother from Yu’s mouth. What disease did the
mother suffer from? Was she happy at the end of her life? She married into the Yu family at the age of twenty-two. Has she had any children for many years?
It is also a spring day in Beijing.
But the spring of Shangjing is very different from that of Yuhang. The spring in the
capital is magnificent. The spring
in Yuhang is poetic in ink and wash.
It’s still light. With the fragrance of flowers and dewdrops blooming on the tip of
his nose, Anan strolled to the door of Anping Temple.
Before I went in, I suddenly saw a dark shadow flash out of it, and I couldn’t see it in the blink of an eye.
Nan suddenly became alert.
Just now I saw that the shadow was slender. It was a woman, not a man. Who in the
palace will enter Anping Temple before dawn? It
can’t be Liu Fangyi or someone in her palace.
Last night, a Nan issued a decree to ban Liu Fangyi for half a year with Zhonggong Fengyin.
Wen Yin outside the pavilion, now guard dense, not to mention people, even a mosquito fly, are difficult to fly out.
Could it be that although he was summoned to the palace by Liu Fangyi on the surface, he was actually secretly communicating with other people in the palace? Who
could it be?
Nan frowned.
The Langya alchemist, who claimed to be his elder brother, was not so simple.
A Nan’s misty heart was suddenly dried by the wind of doubt, and she calmed down and calmly analyzed it.
The shadow seemed to flash in the direction of the imperial lake. On the east side of the
imperial lake are Yanming Hall and Wenyin Pavilion; on the west side is the greenhouse, in which the world’s rare flowers are cultivated, and in the side hall of the greenhouse live the craftsmen who serve the flowers.
At this time, the first thing to check is the people in the greenhouse.
Nan walked back quickly, and as soon as he reached the door of the Phoenix Hall, he saw Xiaomao carrying a copper basin filled with warm water and asked the little Chamberlain sweeping the floor in the courtyard if he had seen the empress go out. When
she heard the footsteps, she looked up and said, “The empress got up so early today. Why didn’t she call the maidservant to wait on her?”?
Nan smiled and said, I woke up early today, so I took a walk by the Imperial Lake.
See you did not wake up, they did not call.
“She turned and told the guards at the gate of the palace,” Call Lord Kong Liang.
“” Yes.
Xiaomao placed the copper basin under the eaves and waited on Anan to clean his face.
Kong Liang was on duty in the palace last night and came soon.
Nan wiped his hand with a veil and ordered, “In the name of searching for stolen things in the palace, take the token of the middle palace and search all the people in the greenhouse and their bedding to see if anyone didn’t rest last night or had a rest at night.”. Less than a quarter of an hour has passed
since then, and with the time to take off and deal with the night clothes, the quilt is definitely not hot yet.
Kong Liang promised and went out quickly.
He didn’t know what had happened, but Anan seldom told him what to do. Once Anan opened his mouth, his first reaction was to do it. After burning
a wick of incense, Kong Liang came back to reply. He took people to search every corner of the greenhouse and all the people in the palace, but no one was different.
Nan lowered his head and took a sip of the clear water in the cup. Having
ruled out the Wenyin Pavilion and the palace people in the greenhouse, it now seems that there is only one possibility: the man in black came from the Yanming Hall. When
Kong Liang saw that Ah Nan was silent, he bowed down and retired. After taking two steps, he turned around and said, “The empress wants to have a good rest.”.
Don’t worry too much, don’t work too hard.
He must have seen the fatigue on the south face.
Nan nodded.
Kong Liang added, “Did the empress really want to keep the alchemist in the palace yesterday?”?
“Ah Nan said thoughtfully,” Last night I was confused for a while. I don’t think I should get into trouble. It’s not good to let such a person stay in the palace for a long time. Let’s drive him out of the palace today.
Tell him, no matter what the reason is, if you dare to break into the palace again, you will not be lenient.
“” Yes.
Kong Liang answered, as if relieved for her.
Empress, now that you are in a high position and have many pairs of eyes staring at you, you should be more careful yourself.
You have always been a clever man, and you must understand the truth.
Nan nodded again.
Yes, since ancient times, the water in the harem is unfathomable.
Women have hidden turbulent desires, and the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing his own magic.
How can we be sure that someone did not deliberately use this “elder brother” to deal with Zhonggong? On the eighth day of the
eighth month, sweet osmanthus blossoms.
At three o’clock, the rain suddenly fell.
The Zou family is happy to give birth to a daughter, Anan.
These words don’t mean anything. It is not difficult to
find out the eight characters of the queen’s birthday. I shouldn
‘t have been moved by his “Nan Mei Tou.”. When
you are young, you can’t get it, but it has passed away. Why should you take it to heart? The
dawn of the human world disturbs the floating life.
Gains and losses are only a moment, like the wind sweeping.
Those who are missing in childhood, let it be missing.
Separated by the veil of years, even if you try your best to catch it, it’s hard to catch it. After
Kong Liang stepped down, Anan collected himself.
The wet nurse came with Milling in her arms.
Miller shook a small rattle in his hand and giggled.
When she saw Nan, she opened her eyes wide and handed the rattle to Nan.
Nan looked at Milling, and with a gentle movement in his heart, he held the baby from the wet nurse.
At this time, the boat came in from outside the hall with a food box and passed on the oral instructions of the emperor.
It turned out to be a sweet and delicious porridge for the emperor’s breakfast, so he ordered the boat to send some to the princess in the Phoenix Hall.
The medical officers have said that the princess is now more than seven months, in addition to milk, it is time to add some liquid food.
Xiaozhou said to Anan with a smile, “The emperor is always thinking about our Princess Huale.”. “Thank you very much for your concern,”
said Anan. “I have a father-in-law Lao Zhou.
The wet nurse filled the porridge and fed it to Milling’s mouth.
Milling son seems to have a good appetite, small mouth open and close, eat all over the chin.
Nan looked at Milling with a long-lost smile on his face. The time has come for
the concubines to pay their respects.
Today, in addition to the grounding of Liu Fangyi, Yanming Hall’s Xiangfei also did not come. Concu
bine Duwan still warmly came to pay her respects, and after the ceremony, she amused the princess. I’ve heard about what happened
last night, but Liu Ching-yi is really bold.
I was spoiled at my mother’s home.
Nan was silent. Concu
bine Wan changed the subject and said, Just now, I was on my way to the Phoenix Hall when I saw the maid in charge of Kong Lingyan, Xiao Chan, leading a man in white to the Yanming Hall.
The man in white has very raw eyes, doesn’t he.. Nan clenched his cup and said coldly, “Didn’t I have ordered that Fang Shu to be driven out of the palace?”.
“She called to the little Chamberlain at the door,” Go to the Yanming Hall and ask what’s going on.
The little Chamberlain promised and walked out quickly. When Concu
bine Wan saw that the empress had a different complexion, she thought of the incident she had heard about last night and covered her mouth with a veil. “Isn’t that man in white the one who was summoned to the palace by Liu Fangyi last night? This Xiangfei is a little too bold.”.
Nan’s face was gloomy.
After a while, the little Chamberlain came back and said, “Back to the empress, the two bodyguards were escorting the alchemist outside the door today when they happened to meet Empress Xiang and Miss Chan, who were holding the prince in their arms.”.
The alchemist only took one look at the prince and said that he had the disease of night crying. Em
press Xiangfei asked what was going on.
The alchemist said that if the night cries were not stopped, he would be fascinated by evil spirits. If things go on like this, his soul would be diminished and his body would be weak until he died.
When Xiangfei heard this, she was frightened and said that the prince was like her life. She asked the alchemist if there was anything she could do.
The alchemist said that as long as he went to the Yanming Hall to drive away the evil spirits, the prince would never cry at night again.
Therefore So Xiangfei insisted on calling him to try. Even Lord Kong couldn’t stop it. Does
the emperor know about this?
“The little Chamberlain replied,” Empress Xiangfei said that these two days the emperor’s eldest son’s night cry was more serious than before. His voice was broken, and his little face was wilting. The medical officers were at a loss what to do. Now that the alchemist has said that he has a way, he must try anyway. Everything is based on the health of the prince. No matter what blame there is, she will bear it herself.
Now, the alchemist was exorcising evil spirits in Yanming Hall, and Xiangfei went barefoot to Shang’s study to apologize. Kong Lingyan, a petite
mouse spirit who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, took off his hairpin and knelt at the door of Shang’s study in plain clothes. The lotus earrings he had been wearing
since the day he entered the palace were also removed. In
the Biography of Women, there is a record of taking off the hairpin to plead guilty. Empresses and concubines have
always taken off their hairpins as a courtesy when they commit major mistakes.
But the most serious is barefoot.
This is a kind of self-humiliation, which is even worse than a man’s “apology.”. Although
Kong Lingyan knelt barefoot and pitifully, his eyes were very firm.
She kowtowed and said, “I beg you to pity my mother. I beg you to pity me.”.
As long as the son can be healthy, I am willing to do anything.
For a long time, the door opened and Cheng Hao came out.
He frowned lightly and said, “Concubine Xiang, you are a lady of an aristocratic family. You have poems and books in your belly. I thought you were a clear and bright person.”.
Why are you so confused when it comes to children? Why do you believe that a Jianghu alchemist can cure a disease that can’t be cured
by a medical officer?
On the other hand, the queen has issued a decree to drive the alchemist out of the palace, and now you have to leave him in the palace, is it not against the decree of the palace?
“I don’t care too much,” said Kong Lingyan. “I’m willing to try anything as long as it’s for my son’s good.” Just then, Xiaohe, the supervisor in charge of the Yanming Hall, arrived. He knelt on the ground and gasped, “The emperor, the empress, the rat spirit, the rat spirit..” I got it, I got it! The prince won’t cry anymore! When Kong Lingyan heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and struggled to get up and go back to Yanming Hall to have a look. The word
“mouse spirit” moved Cheng Hao’s heart.
A Nan once told him the divinatory symbols, he still remembers, because of that divinatory symbols, the harem put an end to the people of Xiao rat.
He ordered the boat to drive the Yanming Hall quickly.
Kong Lingyan and Cheng Hao rushed to Yanming Hall one after another.
Nan is here, too.
When she came in from the outside, she saw Yu, dressed in white, holding a big piece of yellow paper in his hand. As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a fire on the ground. He unhurriedly took the yellow paper and roasted it on the fire. A fat mouse soon appeared on the paper.
The rat was vivid, with its mouth open, as if it were devouring something.
I took the mirror under my waist and looked at the mouse, which slowly dissipated from the yellow paper.
When it was completely dissipated, I baked the yellow paper on the fire again, and the mouse appeared again. Repeating
this several times, Yu knelt on the ground and said, “The rat spirit has been captured by the people of the grass. From now on, there will be no evil in Yanming Hall.”.
Nan sneered in his heart.
It’s just a trick, a scam. When she
was young, she heard her father say that many alchemists walked in Jianghu without real talent and learning, relying on some camouflage methods to deceive people.
Phosphorus fire is used to fake the apparition of ghosts; a peach wood sword is used to fight imaginary ghosts; a clean brush is dipped in saltpetre in advance, and a pattern is drawn on yellow paper and roasted on the fire to reveal the “original shape” of ghosts. Although
Cheng Hao had never heard of these Jianghu tricks, he looked suspiciously at the alchemist in front of him.
He did not open his mouth to let Yu get up, and Yu kept kneeling.
Kong Lingyan looked at the rat on the yellow paper with a frightened expression, holding his son in his arms, with the joy of the rest of his life on his face. Just
as Nan was about to open his mouth to expose Yu’s deception, an accident happened-a brown-haired rat jumped out of nowhere. The rat was huge, like a small animal, with sharp teeth and fierce expression.
It pounced on Cheng Hao.
Nan was taken aback. She instinctively wanted to protect Cheng Hao, but she saw a man rushing in front of her.
It is Xiao Chan, the dowry maid of Kong Lingyan, and now the maid in charge of Yanming Hall.
She is closer to Cheng Hao than Anan. When the
rat came, she rushed recklessly and stood in front of Cheng Hao. The speed of the
rat was incredible. It bit Xiao Chan’s arm and tore off a large piece of meat, dripping with blood.
The bodyguard outside the door heard the sound and moved, drew his sword and ran into the inner hall, but the brown rat ran out of the crowd quickly.
“Catch it!” Cheng Hao said angrily.
“Yes!” The guards answered in chorus and went to chase the rats.
But the rat ran so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye. “Don’t be alarmed,” said Yu on the
ground. “That rat will bleed to death in a moment under the third pine and cypress tree on the east side of the Imperial Lake.
Cheng Hao looked at him coldly. What’s the matter with the rat? “Report back to the emperor,” said
Yu. “The Yanming Hall has been trapped by the rat spirit for a long time, and the prince is crying at night and weak.
Today, the grass people trapped the soul of the rat.
But this rat spirit has a deep way of doing things, and his heart is full of resentment. Before he dies, he still returns to the light with the intention of harming people.
The grass people have recited the incantation. There will be no future trouble
this time.
“” No future trouble forever? “Son of the hamster, devour the kingdom,” hovered in
Cheng Hao’s mind.
Could it be that today’s alchemist’s action can really eliminate this future trouble?
He shook his head, not believing that it would be so simple.
But the brown mouse that had just appeared was exactly the same shape as the one on the yellow paper.
And son, really is no longer crying, open eyes, quietly looking at the crowd, face are ruddy a lot.
He has never been so clever.
If we say that this alchemist is a deceiver, how can we explain everything in front of us?
He ordered the boat to call the medical officer.
The medical officers ran over quickly, and the wound on Xiao Chan’s arm was so heavy that she bled so much that she fainted.
Cheng Hao looked at the mottled bloodstains on the ground and said with a sigh, “This maidservant is extraordinary. She is sensitive to ordinary people and is loyal to the Lord.”. When
Kong Lingyan heard this, he came to his senses from his own joy. For a moment, he did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for the emperor to praise his maidservant so much.
Cheng Hao glanced at Yu and said, “I’ll observe your son’s condition for a few more days. If it’s really good from now on, I’ll believe what you say is true.”.
“Yu hurriedly kowtowed,” Yes.
“Cheng Hao changed his voice and said,” Even if it’s true that you drive away rats, you’re not very skillful after all. You were almost killed by a brown rat. If you didn’t have this maidservant, what would you do?
Yes, and you’re still guilty.
“Back to the emperor,” said Yu, “the grass people are willing to take the blame.
But the grass people want to say, if there is no little Chan girl, the grass people will do what little Chan girl does, the body of the son of heaven, related to the state, must not be damaged.
“Cheng Hao ordered the bodyguard to say,” Send this man to the prison.
If the prince cries at night again, he will be killed. There is no room for deception in front of
a lone eye, and there is no room for anyone to pretend to be a ghost. As if not surprised,
Yu calmly followed the bodyguard out.
After a while, the bodyguard who had just gone to chase the rat found the dead brown rat under the third pine and cypress tree on the east side of the Royal Lake, bleeding from seven orifices.
The bodyguard asked how the saint was treated. “Burn it,” said
Cheng Hao.
Anan intuitively did not believe that Yu had this power.
She felt that today’s events were rather strange. Why did
such a big brown rat suddenly appear in the inner temple?
Why was it not discovered by the palace people of Yanming Hall before? What on earth is it that
the prince stops crying? There must be a ghost
in Yanming Hall, and this ghost colluded with the alchemist named Yu.
Thinking of the dark shadow at the gate of Anpingguan in the fifth watch today, looking at Xiao Chan, who was treated by the medical officers, she vaguely had the answer. At the time of the
incident, why did Xiao Chan stand so close to the emperor?
What a resourceful servant girl.
In order to save the emperor, his arm was torn bloody by the brown rat, which was bound to impress the emperor.
Rat infestation from the palace, Zhaoran maidservant heart.
The palace wall of Yanming Hall could not close her heart to stand out.
I just don’t know how this little Chan colluded with Yu? What is the relationship between
them?
Nan walked to Cheng Hao’s side and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, in my opinion, I should torture the people in Yanming Hall, including Xiao Chan.”.
“Cheng Hao smiled faintly and said,” Gu’s opinion is contrary to that of the empress. Gu thinks that this maidservant should be rewarded. What else
did Nan want to say? Cheng Hao interrupted, Gu is not a fatuous person. She has a decision in her heart. The queen doesn’t have to rush to make decisions for Gu.
In the twinkling of an eye, Cheng Hao approached Ah Nan and whispered, “Queen, if I remember correctly, the hamster’s divination was made by you. Now if the rat spirit is removed, is it not good to really avoid future trouble forever?”? “I think there must be something fishy about it,”
said Anan. The people
of Yanming Hall need to be carefully examined.
She spoke with great certainty.
Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and said, “Since the empress told Gu about the hamster, Gu has given the empress full authority over the selection of the concubines.”.
Does the queen not want to get rid of the rat infestation and want to maintain this self-respect?
“Nan knelt down and said,” I didn’t mean that.
My concubine is devoted to the emperor, hoping that the emperor will not be deceived by a traitor. The more she said, the more Cheng Hao felt irritable.
He did not want to be bound by his mother, nor did he want to be bound by Anan.
Nan looked at his expression and covered his mouth.
Cheng Hao stood with his hands on his back. Suddenly he said, “Xiaozhou, go and tell the supervisor of the inner court that Xiao Chan, a member of the palace, has been given the title of a talented person of the seventh grade. With the word” loyalty “as his title, he has been given the title of living in the Yanyun Hall. Tell all the people in the palace about the rescue of the
loyal and talented people, so as to show their protection. All the people
present were stunned.
His brother Kong Lingyan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But he also felt that under such circumstances, no matter what he said, it was not appropriate.
Little Chan was the maid in charge of her palace, and she was also an old woman she had brought with her from the Confucian family. If she had been a little surprised at this time, it would have made the emperor think that she was “jealous,” and that she was “not virtuous” in front of the people.
She held her son in her arms in silence.
Cheng Hao’s eyes looked around the hall and fell on her.
“Concubine Xiang, this time you forced the alchemist to exorcise evil spirits, thinking only of your eagerness to love your son, so I won’t punish you.”.
If you want to take care of your son, what’s the reason? It’s better to take someone to call Gu. As he
spoke, he ordered the people of the small palace to put on the shoes for Concubine Xiang, and told several medical officers to stay at the Yanming Hall to continue to observe the condition of the prince and wait for the call at any time.
Kong Lingyan felt a little comfort in his heart.
The Lord is his beloved son, and after all, he is his son.
Cheng Hao turned around and walked out. All the people in the room knelt on the ground and said, “I’m going to see you off.”.
After a while, Cheng Hao’s figure walked away, and Ah Nan came to his senses.
Cheng Hao’s words were like a slap in her face, burning hot.
Nan felt that he was wrong.
She thought that husband and wife were of the same mind, that she and he were one, and that nothing could not be said.
But in Cheng Hao’s eyes, she is a wife and a minister.
The wife takes the husband as the key link, and the minister takes the monarch as the key link. The most important thing is obedience and loyalty. There is a saying in
the Book of Changes: “The superior man comes to the masses with obscurity and clarity.”.
Some things, even if it is very clear, can not be anxious. There is a yardstick for
obedience and loyalty, and if it is not handled properly, it will become overstepping.
It was she who forgot to restrain herself for a moment.
Little Fu Anan sat down, and the people of the small palace beside him hurriedly poured water.
Nan took the cup and took a sip. The air
of Yanming Hall is filled with the smell of blood, lingering.
“Xiangfei, the girl beside you is very capable.”.
Nan said slowly. With an embarrassed look on his face,
Kong Lingyan bent over and said, “Go back to the empress, this..” This is an accident. I didn’t have a concubine. I didn’t expect that. Of course
I know you didn’t think of that.
Nan smiled. But it’s hard to say whether it was an accident or not.
This remark had a profound meaning, but Kong Lingyan was confused and did not come back.
The Kong family is the family of generations of hairpins and tassels.
Her elder brother Kong Liang, who had been in the palace since he was a child, accompanied him to study and practice martial arts. He was Yu Linlang, the emperor’s confidant.
Kong’s house was simple, and his father, Kong Jin, married only one wife.
Kong Lingyan never saw a woman fighting at her mother’s home.
She inherited a quiet temperament from her mother.
She doesn’t have an ileal mind.
Xiao Chan came out this time, although she was surprised, but she did not think of the conspiracy at all.
She even felt for a moment that Xiao Chan’s bravery and fearlessness were indeed what she did not have. Although
she was the emperor’s concubine and the birth mother of the emperor’s eldest son, she would hesitate to rush up and suffer for the emperor.
At least, I will think about it for a long time.
Just then, the Chinese medical officer said, “Empress, Empress Xiangfei, the loyal and talented people have woken up.” On the bed, Xiao Chan slowly opened her eyes. The three words
“loyal and talented person” made her know her new identity at the first moment she woke up. With a look of trepidation,
she first asked the Chinese medical officer, “Is the emperor injured?”?
Is it all right?
After hearing the word “no hindrance,” he asked Kong Lingyan with concern.
“Empress, are we all ready to marry the prince?”?
Kong Lingyan said softly, “It looks much better now..” Xiao Chan’s face burst into a pale smile, as if he felt happy for his master from the bottom of his heart.
“Empress, the maidservant has long said that our prince is blessed with good fortune and blessed by God. He will certainly be safe and healthy.”.
“Kong Lingyan coughed lightly,” Little Chan, when you were in a coma just now, the emperor had already given you the title of a seven-grade talented person and granted you a residence in the Yanyun Hall. You don’t have to call yourself a slave to this palace any more.
“Xiao Chan struggled to get up from the bed and said,” Where the empress is, the maidservant will always be your maidservant, no matter where she lives, no matter what her identity is, she will always be your maidservant, the maidservant of the Confucius family, the maidservant of the prince.. ” The words made Kong Lingyan feel comfortable.
This wench, although today’s head, but did not forget the origin.
Xiao Chan showed her loyalty to Concubine Xiang. She looked at Nan timidly and knelt on the ground. With
one arm bandaged and unable to move, she propped herself up on the ground with the other and kowtowed to Anan: “Empress, the maidservant is abrupt today..” Nan smiled coldly.
She looked at Xiaomao at her side, and Xiaomao understood.
Xiaomao said with a smile, “Get up quickly, loyal and talented people. If outsiders see it, they will think that our empress is not merciful. Let you, the wounded person, kowtow and apologize.”.
Besides, if you sacrifice your life to save your life today, and the emperor tells the six palaces to praise you for your loyalty and bravery, how can empress think you are abrupt?
Little Chan lowered her head and said nothing.
Xiaomao went up to her and helped her up. “Loyal man, since the emperor has praised you for your loyalty, you have to let the emperor see your loyalty for a long time in the palace.”.
Nan drank up the water in his cup and got up.
She walked over to Little Chan, leaned slightly closer to her, and said lightly, “a piece of meat, for another place. A loyal and talented man is really a clever person.”.
Nan returned to the Fengluan Hall.
She stood under the eaves, holding a pair of scissors, cutting the pine and cypress in the yard.
Today, it was cut a little fast, and soon, the ground was covered with a layer of branches and leaves. Step on it
with your foot and make a breaking sound.
Her brother, the alchemist, did not seem to be a simple person.
With the women in the harem, frequent tricks, not so easy to be expelled from the palace.
He made adequate preparations, from Liu Fangyi, to a Nan, to Xiao Chan, he seems to be careless step by step, and step by step to leave room, there is a way out.
It seems to follow the situation, but it is controlling the situation.
He entered the palace with the intention of stirring up the storm. If you
keep it, it will be a disaster.
Nan was thinking when Kong Liang came in from the outside.
He rested today, dressed in civilian clothes, a light green brocade robe, like the water in the imperial lake in this season, and the warm wind, slightly rippling. “I have personally checked the background of the alchemist today,”
he said, “after the ceremony.
Empress, your mother did remarry to Yu Fu.
Yu is the eldest son of Yu Fu. What
he said is not false.
But there was one thing he let slip. “Ah Nan looked up.”.
Kong Liang continued, After your mother remarried to the Yu family, she gave birth to a boy in the Yu family.
Shun Kang gave birth in three years, and now he is eleven years old.
I transferred the nationality of Baiyue from the Ministry of the Interior to check. The boy, who is your own brother, is named Yu Mu.
Yu came to Shangjing with him this time.
Nan couldn’t say what he felt for a moment.
Kong Liang said in awe, “I’m worried that Yu will use Yu Mu to do something bad to you. I’ll go all out to find him and bring him to you.”. The light green that
guides Kong Liang’s body with the smell of early summer makes Anan feel as if he were in a light boat in the middle of the imperial lake. The
wind blows the canoe, but the canoe is steady.
A Liang.
“Nan called out to him, hesitated for a moment, and said,” Don’t tell the emperor what you said just now.
When the time is ripe in the future, I will talk about it with the emperor.
Kong Liang nodded. He understood what she meant.
Since he entered the palace at the age of five to accompany Cheng Hao, he has known this woman who never smiles and has no face.
She likes to wear plain clothes and a divination stick on her head.
A pair of distant eyes looked at everything in front of him.
She has never lived like a child, she seems to have never been childish, even some trivial things in life, she is thoughtful.
Kong Liang had known her for more than ten years, and always felt that there was an endless night hidden in her eyes, which made him want to pursue and explore.
He is always joking with her without saying anything.
She was cold and never responded.
Really annoyed by the noise, he said softly, “Ah Liang, you are going to be an official in the future, so you should be cautious and speak less.”.
Kong Liang stopped talking.
He is willing to listen to her.
When the queen mother laughed and said that she would find a good family for Anan in the future, Kong Liang remembered it in her heart.
He thought that when Anan passed the year, he would go to his mother and ask her to marry the queen mother.
Although he had a marriage contract with his cousin, the marriage contract was dead and people were alive. As long as he explained to his father and mother, they would understand him.
They will want to see him happy.
Kong Liang thought everything was going well.
However, he never thought that one day, a Nan would wear a phoenix robe and enter the palace.
Kong Liang knew that the emperor did not like Anan, and his eyes were clearly full of Shen Qinghuan.
Why did Nan marry the emperor?
They grew up together, she is so sober and calm, can’t she see through this?
He doesn’t believe it. On the wedding night of
the emperors and empresses, Anan, who was slightly drunk, went to the eaves to enjoy the breeze. Kong Liang, who was on
patrol here, finally couldn’t help asking, “He doesn’t love you. Don’t you know that?”? Nan,
wearing a phoenix crown, held the railing and looked at the moon in the sky. “He will love me,” he said.
You’re kidding yourself. When
Kong Liang listened to his own voice, he felt very childish.
He is like an angry child.
No, Ah Liang.
She turned her head and said with certainty, He will fall in love with me.
Sooner or later.
I’m sure.
“Kong Liang said,” I wish the empress an early fulfillment of her wish.
Turned around and walked away.
Nan said behind him, “Ah Liang, your cousin of the Dou family is very nice. Marry her.”.
Kong Liang did not utter a word, nor did he look back.
That night, the dragon and phoenix candles in Qiankun Hall burned all night.
Kong Liang didn’t sleep well that night. Dou Huazhang, the cousin of the Dou
family, is really good.
Not long after, Kong Liang was ordered by his parents to marry her.
A good man has a family and a career.
He had become the commander of the imperial guards. He was in a high position. He didn’t have a family. He didn’t look like a man. The
important thing is that he wants to reassure the emperor.
The emperor had asked him about his marriage, consciously or unconsciously.
He wanted to use the marriage to show the emperor that he had never had a mind that he shouldn’t have.
Wan Xi Xi; Zong Jiao Xi.
As the saying goes, the intersection of the two corners is like a dream in the blink of an eye. In front of and behind
people, he spoke to her in honorific, respectfully calling her “empress.”.
Only he knows that he still wants Anan to live well.
He knew that she was alone in the harem and had no one to rely on.
If she has something to do, he will not hesitate to help her.
Even the endless night in her eyes, he could not explore it in his life.
“Ah Liang, thank you.”.
Nan put down the scissors.
I am terrified. Don’t say that to
the empress. As
Kong Liang spoke, he knelt down and retired.
Nan exhorted, “Be careful when you’re looking for someone. The fewer people who know, the better.”.
“” Yes. After
Kong Liang left, Anan returned to the inner hall.
She sat cross-legged on the soft couch and asked Xiaomao to bring the chessboard. When something was pending
in her mind, she was very happy to play chess with herself, standing on the opposite side and taking all possibilities into account.
In the process, she can often guess what her opponent thinks.
At the beginning, that’s how she came up with a plan to let Cheng Hao govern the old ministers without being pinched. It was
also in this way that he came up with a countermeasure and moved the military power without bloodshed.
At the moment, she was thinking about how to control Yu and Xiao Chan.
A Nan knew that the reason why he had done those things before was that Cheng Hao was of one mind with her.
Now we have to find a way to make Cheng Hao be with her on this matter.
As long as two people are of one mind, it will be fine. In the middle of the
game, the wet nurse came with Princess Hua Le in her arms. It’s the beginning of
April. It’s been eight months.
Eight-month-old children are learning to crawl.
Miller climbed to Nan’s side and overturned the chessboard.
The black and white are all mixed up.
The wet nurse looked at Nan’s face, fearing that she would be angry.
But Anan didn’t. She stared at the chaotic chessboard and seemed to suddenly understand something.
She held her son on her knee.
Milling’s big eyes were black and white, and they were very clear. At this time, she looked at Ah Nan, and her mouth made a sound of “Niang-Niang-“. Do you know who your mother is when you are
so young.
Her daughter, ah, is really an extraordinary daughter, always intentionally or unintentionally, to guide her.
As the saying goes, “If I am invisible, then I am exclusive and the enemy is divided.” We should try every means to fully expose the enemy while hiding ourselves.
The eagle stands as if sleeping, and the tiger walks as if ill. The next thing
Nan has to do is to make the black and white in a mess.
When the chessboard is in a mess, it’s time to clean up the pieces.
The night fell. Lying on his bed,
Nan looked at the bright lights of the Phoenix Hall and thought of the younger brother named Yu Mu in Kong Liang’s mouth. Although
he is a child of the Yu family, he shares the same mother with her and is also a blood relative.
Mother Fan Hongyu’s face seemed to flash out of the shadowy light and shadow. She was not old. She was still what Anan saw when she was three years old.
She looked at Nan and said with a smile, “Sister Nan, even if your mother has a thousand faults, he is your younger brother after all.”.
Mother is gone, elder sister is like mother, you should love your younger brother, don’t let him be bullied by others.
Nan sat up from the bed, and in the blink of an eye, he realized that it was his own hallucination.
She asked the night watchman, “Where is the emperor tonight?”?
Back to the empress, the emperor is at Xiangfei’s place tonight.
That night, Cheng Hao stayed at the Yanming Hall. As expected, the eldest son of
the emperor did not cry at night and slept peacefully until dawn. Seven days
in a row passed.
In the past, his night-crying disease, which had not been cured for a long time, was really gone.
Livelier and healthier day by day.
The medical officers were deeply surprised. The cry of the
eldest son of the emperor came inexplicably and stopped inexplicably.
Even the Chinese medical officer, who has been practicing medicine for nearly 30 years, can’t say why.
This made Cheng Hao think more about the words of the alchemist. On
the eighth day, Cheng Hao ordered people to bring Yu out of prison. In the Hall of
Heaven and Earth, Yu crawled on the ground and made a big gift to Cheng Hao. Ambergris was burning
in the room.
Cheng Hao found that the man had been in prison for seven days, and his body was spotless.
The white dress was so clean that it was like the bright moonlight covering the body. “Where did you get to the capital?” Asked
Cheng Hao? The people of the
grass are the people of Baiyue, and the art is handed down by the Langya alchemists who travel around.
Langya?
“Cheng Hao said with a sneer,” The emperor of Qin was confused by the alchemists of Langya, and his fortune declined.
“I did not panic, but frankly replied,” It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that Gou is not a person, and that the Tao is not empty.
If it is a real alchemist, it must have real ability.
The emperor is the real dragon emperor, must know, the evaluation of the alchemist can not be generalized. Among
the alchemists, such as Bian Que, Ge Hong, Guan Yu, Xiao Ji and Monk, they are all famous in history.
Cheng Hao rubbed a seal on the table with his hand and said lightly, Oh?
Then you tell Gu, what can you do?
Astronomy, the calendar, geography, the angle of the wind, and the calculation of the stars, by extension, are things that cannot be examined.
“Cheng Hao was silent for a while and asked,” Then I would like to ask you, why is there a rat spirit in the harem?
“I kowtowed and said,” The emperor forgives the innocence of the grass people, but the grass people dare to speak out.
“” Say. The mother of
a fatuous ruler is Chinese zodiac a rat. Son of
the hamster, devour the kingdom.
Cheng Hao felt a shock in his heart. What
Yu said was exactly the same as what Nan told him. “For example,” continued
Yu, “there are rats in the granary who are good at haunting the harem and confusing the empresses and princes.
Now it has been removed by the grass people.
Therefore, this hexagram is invalid.
The emperor can rest assured. There was doubt on
Cheng Hao’s face.
As far as he is concerned, things that are harmful to the country, even if it is possible in case, should be eliminated. “You see,” said
Yu, “now that the prince has stopped crying, it’s very different from what it used to be. The Yanming Hall is full of joy, so you’ll know.
“Cheng Hao was silent for a long time and asked,” Tell me, if you get a wise king, who will be lucky to be alone? With great trepidation,
I kowtowed several times: The grass people dare not predict such a great event.
“Cheng Hao smiled and said,” If you say it, I may not believe it. It’s just like the wind in my ears.
“I closed my eyes, bowed my head, and said,” If you have a wise king, you should be lucky in the southeast. There is a woman
in the southeast, hit with evil spirit, the rat generation after generation dare not approach.
Xi Mai Cheng Hao touched the word “southeast” and tapped the table with his index finger and middle finger. There is a woman
in the southeast, hit with evil spirit. The mother of
a wise king can resist a great disaster. Who on earth is
that woman? After thinking for a moment,
he said to Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, “The Temple of Peace in the Palace was built during the reign of the emperor.”.
The emperor has the heart of admiration and pity for the common people.
Since you have cured your son’s night crying, you are predestined with the royal family.
Then stay in Anping Temple and pray for the royal family.
“I kowtowed and said,” Thank you for your kindness. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty was quite good at the art of calligraphy, and all the people in the world who were in the service of Taoism and the arts did not fail to take the initiative to reach the palm of their hands, and they followed the wind.
Therefore, although Cheng Hao felt that Yu seemed to have some ability and wanted to keep him in the palace, he did not want his subordinates to think that he was now dependent on the heart of the alchemist.
So, in the name of “praying for the royal family,” he was left behind.
An Ping Guan.
The world is peaceful and careless, and He Danghua Bureau is a mirror.
This time, as a matter of course, I stayed in Anpingguan. On the way
to Anping Temple, the boat said meaningfully, Master Yu, you just came out of the prison and were left in Anping Temple by the emperor. It is a great honor to pray for the
royal family. Master
Yu is so capable.
Yu nodded his head. “I’ve heard that when Emperor Taizong was there, it was Fang Chang, the national teacher, who lived in Anping Temple,”
said Xiaozhou. The
scene was so beautiful that even many of the ministers in the court who were holding jade were rushing to curry favor with him.
Then, somehow, he ran away.
Tut, tut.
Things change.
I smiled faintly and said nothing.
The boat closed its mouth.
He had been with the emperor for more than ten years, and his intuition was that he did not like the alchemist, and he always felt that there was flattery between his eyebrows and eyes.
In this compartment, Cheng Hao sat in the Hall of Heaven and called the inner court to supervise the affairs. Of all the people in
the harem, who is from Southeast China? The supervisor of
the inner court replied skillfully, The empress, whose ancestral home is Yuhang, belongs to the southeast of Wuyue.
And — “” Who else?
There is also the loyal and talented person whom you have newly conferred the title of emperor. His ancestral home is Fujian and Vietnam, and he also belongs to the southeast. The years, birthdays, and native places of the empresses and concubines in the
palace were all put on record in the supervision of the inner court.
“Loyal and talented people..” Cheng Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, “How old are the loyal and talented people?”?
Back to the emperor, the loyal and talented man is fifteen years old, Xiao Hu. The
tiger is also known as the big cat among the people, and the rat fears the cat. The smile on
Cheng Hao’s face stopped slightly for a moment. He waved to the supervisor of the inner court and said, “Go down.”.
“” Yes.
He got up and pushed open the window. The evening mist was cool.
In April, the barley is yellow in the south wind, and the jujube flowers have not fallen and the tung leaves are long.
The alchemist’s words cannot be fully believed, but Cheng Hao still wants to try.
It seems that in the dark, the unknown way is plated with a layer of metaphysical light, which is more secure.
That night, Cheng Hao went to the smoke and cloud hall. Under the careful care of the medical officer in the
palace, Xiao Chan’s wound has been much better. Dressed in the palace dress of a talented person,
she came out to meet the driver, her face full of joy and anxiety.
Cheng Hao walked into the hall and saw a bellyband being sewn on the table.
The bellyband is embroidered with flowers blooming, the stitches are exquisite, and the embroidery work is very good. When
Xiao Chan saw the emperor looking at the bellyband, she said, “This is the bellyband I sewed for the prince. When the prince fell to the ground, I sewed his intimate clothes for him and gave them to someone else. I’m not at ease.”.
Cheng Hao smiled faintly. You never forget your old master. You are really a loyal and righteous woman.
“Xiao Chan bent over and said,” The emperor praised me. I am lucky to be able to do something for the prince.
Cheng Hao sat down, and Xiao Chan waited on him to freshen up.
She knows what’s good and what’s bad, knows how to measure, and irons everywhere. She did her best to
serve the saint that night.
But when Cheng Hao was half asleep and half awake, he faintly heard a few squeaks of mice, intermittently.
When he tried to listen carefully, he couldn’t hear anything.
Or hallucinations.
Cheng Hao was so tired that he went to sleep.
The next day, Xiao Chan got up early and went to the small kitchen to make flower soup. Soon after
Cheng Hao opened his eyes, the hot towel and the clear water for gargling were ready.
Cheng Hao has cleaned up properly, and the flower soup has been warmed.
Xiao Chan gallantly served it to him.
He took a sip and glanced up at the woman who had been lucky yesterday.
Today, Xiao Chan is wearing a pink dress.
Cheng Hao frowned unconsciously. He didn’t like women wearing pink for no reason. He always felt frivolous. It
‘s time to go to the morning court.
He put down the soup and went to the Hall of Golden Bells.
Since that day, he has never been to the smoke and cloud hall again.
Originally, all the people in the harem were on guard when they saw the emperor sealing Xiao Chan, but when they saw the emperor coming for a night, they soon left her behind and were relieved.
A whim is one thing, love is another.
It seems that the emperor is just a whim for this girl.
The smoke and cloud hall can’t become a climate.
Xiao Chan is modest and gentle in front of and behind people, with low eyebrows and smooth eyes. She is more cautious than when she was a maid in charge of the Yanming Hall.
However, more than a month later, when the pagodatree flowers in May in the palace were plated with a layer of flowing clouds, the medical officer of the Medical Officer’s Office diagnosed the happy pulse when he asked the loyal and talented people for a peaceful pulse. It was
just one night, and I got pregnant. People in the
palace are talking about it one after another. The loyal and talented people are really blessed. In the hall
of phoenix Luan, a Nan heard the news and the chess pieces in his hands fell slightly.
She didn’t guess wrong.
This loyal and talented man joined hands with Yu, and there was a shocking conspiracy behind it.
The so-called alchemist practice, the so-called mother of the wise king, the so-called lucky southeast.
Be pregnant, have children.
From the moment Yu entered the palace, the overall situation had been laid out.
Nan thought, how dare this pair of men and women come here? Is there a hidden shield behind them?
A few days later, she went to Shang’s study to deliver soup to Cheng Hao, and when she accidentally saw the above table of King Baiyue, she understood seven or eight points.
Baiyue is near the sea, half of the barbarian land.
Under the wall years, Taizu rate army levy.
In the past, more than half of the land of Baiyue was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong and Guangxi, leaving only a small number of Baiyue aliens, forming a small country of their own, still under the rule of the King of Baiyue. Although the king
of Baiyue was the king of Fan, he was no different from the governor of a state. He submitted to the emperor, paid tribute and taxes every year. The surname of the
king of Baiyue is Si.
The current king of Baiyue, whose name is Kang, has just been on the throne for five years.
Baiyue is a tiny place, and because it is close to the sea, there is a lot of saline-alkali land, the grain harvest is not good, and the national strength is weak.
It has been conquered by the Holy Dynasty for a long time, so it has always been respectful and has never been stormy.
Baiyue and the Central Plains intermarried, merged and assimilated.
Also because of this, in the court or the hearts of the people, gradually forget that Baiyue is a foreign country, as if it is an ordinary state of the holy Dynasty.
A Nan pondered that King Baiyue had self-knowledge and knew that it was difficult to compete with the Holy Dynasty in all aspects. With the precedents of Annam, Xijing and Mobei, he never dared to give birth to the intention of fighting, so he gave birth to such dirty ideas.
From the inside of the royal family to confuse the blood, to seize the throne with the wild, to stir up the muddy water, in the future, to make the court disorder, to make the state disorder.
Great country, kill from outside, hard to kill. If
the internal strife is rotten, the insects will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
When Anan thought of this, he could not help trembling and holding the corner of the table. Seeing this,
Cheng Hao asked, “What’s wrong with the queen? Is she not feeling well?”?
“Ah Nan collected himself and said,” Thank you for your concern. My concubine is very kind, but she has been a little afraid of the cold after giving birth.
Cheng Hao got up, took his cloak from a mahogany chair beside him, and draped it over Ah Nan. Shangjing is in the north, and even though it’s April, it’s still a little cold at night.
This cloak was prepared here by the boat, because he was worried that he would be busy with government affairs until late at night and the wind would blow.
You have suffered a lot, and it is hard to avoid being more afraid than others. You should wear more
at night. With a smile on his face,
he said, “Mi’er is so cute. Yesterday I played alone with her in the Imperial Garden. She held her alone and refused to let go.”.
Nan looked at him. The look on
his face was so natural that he wrapped her in a cloak and chatted with her about daily life.
Nan’s eyes were uncontrollably moist.
She has been married to him for nearly two years, and Mianer is almost one year old. Even if
she wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, and stood high with him to accept the kneeling of the princes, she did not feel that she was his wife with such a small gesture as he did tonight.
Nan lowered his head and said, “Thank you, Lord.”.
Cheng Hao was not aware of her sadness. He took a sip of the soup and asked naturally, The loyal and talented woman is pregnant, and her fetus is not very stable. She lives in the Yanyun Hall, and feels very lonely. She asks Gu to say that she wants to move back to the Yanming Hall to live with Concubine Xiang. How does
the queen feel?
“Ah Nan said,” The location of the Hall of Smoke and Clouds is a bit out of the way. My sister, a loyal and talented person, is pregnant. My concubine had been thinking a few days earlier about whether to move her bedroom.
But he was afraid that she would be tired of moving the palace, so he gave up.
Today, since the emperor said, then move it.
However, my concubine thought that Xiangfei had a prince to take care of, fearing that her energy was limited and it was difficult for her to be separated.
Why don’t you let Zhongcai move to Wanxin Courtyard.
Wanfei sister lived alone, very lonely, just son can accompany loyal people, take care of loyal people.
“Cheng Hao nodded,” Just do as the queen says.
Qian Gong Cheng Hao finished the soup and put down the bowl.
The boat cut the wick, and the hall lit up a little.
Cheng Hao bent over his desk and continued to look at the memorial on the table.
Nan asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, has everything been going well in the court recently?”?
“Cheng Hao said,” a few days ago, Gu received a tip-off that there was a shortage of salt administration in Guangdong and Guangxi. It was suspected that the salt merchants had colluded with the local officials and paid a huge amount of taxes. Gu appointed his son-in-law Zhang Xun as the imperial envoy and went to investigate. If
this is true, the head of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi will not be cut off.
Mother has been in power for twenty years, and has launched three wars, against Mobei, against Youzhou, and against the south. Although the
war raised the prestige of the country, it cost a lot of money, and the treasury has not been abundant. Since
Gu Qinzheng encouraged the reclamation of wasteland and the construction of water conservancy projects, the market has flourished and the treasury has gradually become abundant.
Solitary will never allow a borer with evil intentions to defy the court and enrich himself.
“Ah Nan nodded and said,” The emperor is very worried.
Salt is the great treasure of the country, the world’s tax, salt benefit in half, palace Wei Fu, military pay, official salary, all look up to Yan.
Salt government chaos, the world chaos.
“Cheng Hao said,” Gu’s brother-in-law is a man who has won the Number One Scholar. He has genuine talent and learning.
And since his father Zhang Yi came down from the position of Zaifu, the Zhang family has been deserted for two years. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and is more sophisticated than before.
This is good.
Nan smiled shallowly. Naturally, it’s very good.
The emperor’s son-in-law is a member of the royal family and a member of the emperor. As he spoke,
Cheng Hao looked at Ah Nan and said, The emperor’s son-in-law will be gone for at least a few months. The elder sister of the
emperor was alone in the mansion and wanted to be lonely.
The queen can call her into the palace to be lively.
Gu’s niece, Zhang Pinger, has not seen her for a long time since she was one year old.
“” Yes.
Princess Cheng Xi, born to Empress Dowager Qi An, was Cheng Hao’s sister and the only one of his brothers and sisters who stayed in Shangjing. Before
leaving the cabinet, she was spoiled and self-willed, and her relationship with Cheng Hao was not deep.
But now that they are older and have their own families, they are getting closer.
Blood is thicker than water.
Cheng Hao said a few words to Anan and continued to be busy.
Nan knelt down and went back to the Fengluan Hall. When they
reached the edge of the Imperial Lake, Ah Nan suddenly called out, “Not good.”. “What’s the matter, empress?”
Asked Xiaomao, who was standing beside her?
“Ah Nan said,” I lost the white jade hairpin with peach blossoms that I carried in my bosom.
“Xiaomao hurriedly told the people of the small palace who were following him,” Go quickly and look carefully all the way with the lantern. Be sure to find the white jade hairpin.
That is a very important thing in the heart of our empress.
That day, when Anan was examining Yu at night in the Fengluan Hall, Xiaomao was standing beside him. She also heard what
Yu said.
The peach blossom white jade hairpin is the relic of Anan’s mother.
Nan put his hand on his forehead and said, “Xiaomao, you’d better go and look for it.”.
You serve the palace closely, and you are more familiar with the appearance of the hairpin.
And you have always been clever and better than them.
I need you to do everything before I can rest assured.
“” The empress is full of praise.
The maidservant is going.
Xiaomao bent over and said with a smile.
When Nan saw her walking away with the lantern, Fang waved to Hua Ying.
A small palace man came out of the shadow of the flower. The man in the
small palace looked quite clever. He could see all directions, listen to all directions, and the sound of footsteps was inaudible.
She stood behind a pine and cypress, and from a distance, she could not see a person standing beside the empress.
“Linger, see the empress.”.
Nan nodded his head. “The maidservant observed for a long time and found that something was very wrong with the loyal and talented man,” continued the little palace man, who was
called “Ling’er.”. On the surface,
she was very flattering to the emperor, careful and thoughtful, but it seemed that behind her back, she did not want the emperor to go to the smoke and cloud hall.
“” Oh?
This harem is full of women, who don’t want to borrow some grace to climb up, but there are those who don’t want the emperor to be lucky.
This loyal man is getting closer and closer to the answer in Anan’s mind. The
loyal and talented people used to be the palace maids in charge of the Yanming Hall. The emperor often ran to the Yanming Hall because of the prince. The loyal and talented people could see the emperor every three or five times. How could they not know the emperor’s preferences?
She clearly knew that the color that the emperor hated most was peach, but on the second day of her bed, she wore a peach dress.
The emperor took one look and frowned.
“Linger went on to say,” The maidservant thought that she might only need one night’s luck, but she didn’t need a long time’s luck.
Nan sneered. The
need for a night of luck is for the sake of the child in the womb. She
doesn’t need to be lucky for a long time because she has another man in her heart.
These seven twists and turns are like sharp stones, which form a stone array in Anan’s mind.
Linger lowered her voice and said, “The maidservant keeps a good eye on the loyal and talented person day and night. For more than a month, apart from staying in the Yanyun Hall and the Shangzhong Palace to pay her respects, she has gone to the Yanming Hall to deliver clothes to the prince. There has been no change.”.
Until yesterday, the maidservant watched her quietly walk out of the smoke and cloud hall in the middle of the night, took a long detour, and went to Anping Temple. Return in
the fifth watch.
“Be careful,” Nan told him. “Don’t let a loyal and talented person find out. “Don’t worry, empress,”
said Linger. “The maidservant is very covert.
Nan pulled out a thick stack of silver tickets from his cuff. With
a wave of her hand, she kowtowed to Ah Nan. The maidservant is used by the empress, not for money.
The maidservant’s biggest dream was to be the maid of honor around the empress in the future. Let the maidservant’s mother see how handsome the maidservant was. She was far better than useless drunkard brother.
Nan smiled.
This competitive girl, her desire is not concealed, and she is somewhat lovely.
About her temper.
I know. Go.
“” Yes.
Linger’s figure sank imperceptibly into the shadow of the flower.
In a moment, two rows of lanterns were getting closer and closer to her, and Xiaomao came back with the palace people.
“Empress, I found it, I found it!” Xiaomao smiled at Nan. “Really?”
Nan exulted?
Where did you find it? “It’s in the flower bed outside the door of Shangshu’s room,”
said Xiaomao. The empress
must have passed by and accidentally dropped it there.
Nan took the peach blossom jade hairpin and said to Xiaomao, This palace should give you a good reward. I’ll find you a good husband tomorrow.
Let Lord Kong look for it in the imperial guards. The imperial guards in the
palace were all children of aristocratic families, and they were not ordinary people. “The empress is joking,”
said Xiaomao.
The maidservant doesn’t want to marry.
The maidservant grew up with the empress, and later, she wanted to accompany the empress for a lifetime.
Nan glanced at her.
Xiaomao, your friendship is different from that of this palace.
Yes, friendship is different.
A Nan’s smile melted into the night.
The next day, the decree to move the palace arrived at the Yanyun Hall, and Zhongcai people were stupefied.
She asked Xiaozhou, who was announcing the decree, “Grandfather Zhou, did you read it wrong?”?
Isn’t it Yanming Hall? How did it become Wanxin Court?
“Oh,” said Xiaozhou, “where did you say that? It’s written in black and white. How could a slave mispronounce it? Would you like to ask the emperor about the
decree of the emperor? The
loyal and talented man bit his lip and said, “Concubine Wan..” Concubine Wan was born in Zhennan General’s Office. It is said that she grew up in the martial arts training field when she was a child. She is known for her shrewdness. Is she a good friend?
Xiaozhou said with a smile, “Concubine Wan hasn’t given birth to a child. She’s very lonely. I’m just going to keep you company and take care of you. Both of them are fine.”.
The emperor is very considerate, don’t you think?
“Yes, thoughtful..” Zhongcai said helplessly. The cuckoos
in Wanxin Courtyard came to an end and were sparse.
Who receives the spring scenery to return, the slow green demon red half does not save.
Wanfei held her waist in one hand and stood under the eaves with red melon seeds in the other, watching the loyal and talented people move in.
The loyal man bent down and saluted her. Concu
bine Wan smiled, and after a while, she raised her hand and motioned to the loyal and talented person to get up. In the past, when
I was at my mother’s home, wherever I went, there was a lot of excitement.
Into the palace, just know the taste of loneliness.
Now, you are here, and the palace is not lonely. The word
“loneliness” was crushed and raised in the mouth of Concubine Wan, like dust floating in the air, which made the loyal and talented people panic for no reason. Concu
bine Wan ranked first and lived in the east side hall.
Zhongcai people are in the seventh grade and live in the west side hall. When the
bed was ready, the loyal and talented man sat in the west side hall in a trance. The Mammy beside
her thought that she was acting like this because she was angry with Concubine Wan today, so she whispered to her, “Don’t be unhappy with talented people. The superiority and inferiority are not in the present, but in the long run.”. Although
the imperial concubine Wan is now higher than you, you have a dragon descendant in your belly, and it will be a long and distant blessing in the future.
“Be careful what you say, Mammy,” said the loyal man.
This compartment is the Hall of the Phoenix.
A Nan prepared a dinner to entertain Princess Cheng Xi and her daughter Zhang Pinger.
Princess Tui En Chang was the eldest daughter of the emperor born to Empress Dowager Qi An in the third year of Changle. At that time, she was deeply loved by the late emperor and was regarded as the apple of his eye. She was given the title of “Ji” in Jizhou, the head of the nine States. When she was six years old, she was still riding on the head of her father.
All the ministers see it, dare not persuade. When Empress Dowager
Qi An returned to power, Cheng Hao exchanged blood for the court because of the handover of power. Zhang Yi, the father-in-law of the
long princess, was the head of the old minister, and was first used by Cheng Hao to operate, and fell from the position of the prime minister.
The eldest princess rushed to the middle palace in the “golden step chariot” given by the queen mother, pointing at Anan and cursing him.
Nan still remembers the expression of this sister-in-law. With
her eyes wide open, she pushed the tea away from Anan and said coldly, “Zou Anan, don’t think I don’t know what you want to do when you encourage my brother to do those things!”! Don’t think that if you live in this Phoenix Hall, you can point fingers at the affairs of the court! Haoer is not a father, and you will never be like my mother! Nan chuckled and said, “What did you say, Sister Huang?”.
The emperor is no longer a child with a yellow mouth in the past, but a king sitting in the Hall of Golden Bells. What a wise man
he is, how can he listen to others?
“You –” Cheng Yi grabbed the cup of tea, splashed it in Nan’s face, and then left in a huff. The
palace people were rubbing their hands and feet for Nan.
Nan immersed his face in the cold water and thought, people are really different.
Some people are bossy, some people walk on thin ice.
Even if she is now in the middle of the palace, and Cheng’s husband’s family is in trouble, so what?
Cheng Li can still splash her face with tea. All
this is just because of her innate dignity.
Some people are born with dignity, and some people need to take it from the mountain of knives and the sea of fire.
Since that incident, Cheng Lien has rarely entered the palace.
Today, when she saw Anan, she still had embarrassment on her face. After almost two years of
her mother’s funeral, Cheng realized helplessly that the master of the court was now her brother Cheng Hao. The master of
the harem is her younger brother and sister Zou Anan.
Zou Anan is no longer the half-master and half-servant orphan girl who was raised in the palace.
She is Cheng Hao’s wife, the queen carried in by the royal family from the main palace gate.
She bowed and saluted, “Empress Jin An.”. The wet nurse beside
her, who was holding Zhang Pinger in her arms, also knelt down and saluted.
Nan slowly stepped forward and helped Cheng up. “Sister Huang, please don’t be polite.”.
After that, he took Zhang Pinger in his arms from the wet nurse and said, I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Come on, give your aunt a hug. The concubines of the
imperial harem, Concubine Xiang, Concubine Wan, and Concubine Zhongcai, stepped forward and saluted Cheng Xi, saying, How are you, Princess Chang.
Cheng returned the salute politely. Out of the corner of her eye,
Nan looked at Cheng’s expression and thought, “This spoiled sister-in-law has really changed a lot in the past two years. She is no longer arrogant, courteous and restrained.”. The wet nurse
in the palace took Princess Huale out, and the wet nurse in Yanming Hall also took the prince out, plus Zhang Pinger, three children, all about the same age. The
children gathered together and made a lot of noise.
The crowd took their seats.
The song and dance sounded, and the actors of the music hall in the palace arranged a new dance called “Pear Fall”. Women in
white fluttered with long skirts on the ground, jumping, swinging and crawling.
Like the pear blossoms of one tree after another, they blossom to the extreme on the branches, and then, after the flowering period, they fall from the branches.
This dance is beautiful to the extreme, like a dream. At the end of the
song, the Chamberlain outside the door said, “The emperor has arrived.” Cheng Hao had summoned Prince Yu to the palace today. He had just finished discussing with him the matter of the royal family’s “mercy” in the Hall of Qian Kun, and he was in a good mood.
Tui En, to put it bluntly, is an aristocratic dissolution system.
Once upon a time, the fief of the vassal king could only be passed down to the eldest son, generation after generation, and the vassal state was still so big.
But Tui En Ling meant that all the sons of the vassal king, such as the eldest son, the second son and the third son, could get the land. On
the surface, it was a favor for the sons of the vassal kings, but in fact, the vassal States were getting smaller and smaller, and the land was exhausted.
In the end, the royal family is no different from ordinary people. In the past,
when Taizu conquered the country, he said that children and grandchildren should share the inheritance.
However, the enfeoffment was inherited from generation to generation, and many vassal kings were quite powerful.
This is always a hidden danger of insecurity. Cheng Chi, Prince
Yu, was Cheng Hao’s cousin and the oldest prince of this generation in Taizong’s line.
Once upon a time, when the queen mother was there, she ordered him to take care of the affairs of the royal family.
He has a lot of prestige in the royal family, and with his support, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
Cheng Hao walked into the hall with a big smile on his face, and everyone hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.
When he had finished saying, “After getting up,” he first called out, “Sister Huang.”.
Cheng said with a smile, “Is the emperor busy with government affairs every day until so late?”?
She is as diligent as her mother.
“Sister Huang,” said Cheng Hao, “who did you see today? Prince
Yu Chengchi. There was a flash of sadness on
Cheng’s face: My mother used to like him the most, and treated him like a parent.
“Then Cheng said with a sigh,” It’s been nearly two years since my mother was here.
When it comes to their mother, the sister and brother seem to have returned to the days when their father died early and their mother pulled them, orphans and widows, to depend on each other in the Qiankun Palace.
Do not see the old people in the world, half into the wind and half into the dust. “Sister Huang,” said
Cheng Hao disappointedly, “the golden chariot given to you by your mother is still valid. You can enter the palace whenever you want.
“” Good. After
saying this word, Cheng’s eyes turned a little red.
Cheng Hao sat down in the middle, Anan in his right seat, and Cheng Xi in his left seat.
At this moment, I heard a burst of giggling. It’s
not Princess Hua Le, it’s Zhang Pinger.
Cheng Hao looked at the past, only to see the prince’s little hand holding the corner of Zhang’s clothes, while grasping, while laughing.
Zhang Pang son also smiled.
She was more than a year older than prince, and she had the style of a sister, wiping the saliva from the mouth of the prince. Sel
dom do I have such a lively moment.
“The eldest princess smiled and said,” It’s rare for a great man to laugh so happily. Everyone in
Zhang’s family loved her, but no children played with her.
“Cheng Hao said with a sigh,” Look, the two children, Er and Panger, are quite congenial. “Sister Huang,”
said Anan, “it’s better to go to the palace more often.
Cheng En nodded his head. When Concu
bine Wan heard this, she quietly poked Concubine Xiang, who was sitting beside her, and said, “Tut, there’s a chance. Hurry up and climb up this high branch of Princess Chang. That’s the eldest sister of the emperor. She came out of her mother’s stomach and broke her bones and tendons.”. A word
she said in front of the emperor is worth ten or a hundred sentences to you and me.
When the time comes, the prince will have a bright future. Kong Lingyan, who
had always been honest, didn’t understand what these words meant at first. When she had tasted them, she was very flustered. She quickly lowered her voice and said, Hu Wanchi, don’t talk nonsense. It’s a great sin to speculate on the holy will.
“Concubine Wan smiled, looked up and drank a cup of wine.” Look at your worthless appearance. You are the mother of the eldest son of the emperor. In
this palace, I’m afraid even a mouse is bolder than you.
Speaking of the mouse, she glanced at the loyal man.
The loyal man bowed his head and absently fiddled with a dish of delicacies in front of him.
She was always so easily distracted that there was no joy of being a mother on her face, but a lot of worry. The joy of the banquet was interrupted by
a rush of footsteps.
It’s Kong Liang.
He hurried in.
Cheng Hao knew that Kong Liang had always had a sense of propriety and that he would not do so rashly if there was nothing particularly important.
Sure enough, Kong Liang knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, a flying pigeon has come from Guangdong and Guangxi to deliver a message.”.
Xiaozhou took the letter from Kong Liang and handed it to Cheng Hao. When
Cheng Xi heard the word “Guangdong and Guangxi,” his eyebrows jumped. “Is it news of the emperor’s son-in-law?
He was ordered by the emperor to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to investigate the salt administration. Could it be that something had happened? When
Cheng Hao finished reading the letter, he pounded the table and said, “How dare you!” The music stopped and the dance stopped. As soon as
the son of heaven was angry, all the people present hurriedly lowered their heads. Who
on earth dares to assassinate the imperial commissioner?
Kong Liang, you take two teams to Guangdong and Guangxi immediately tomorrow, and be sure to get to the bottom of it.
“” Yes.
Cheng Hao took out a gold medal from his bosom and said, It’s easy to do things with it. The
golden arrow, to see it, is like seeing the emperor.
Kong Liang solemnly took it. With tears in his eyes,
Cheng said in a trembling voice, “To assassinate the imperial commissioner?”?
The emperor’s son-in-law.. Only then did Cheng Hao realize that he had not yet given Huang Jie an explanation. He quickly clapped Cheng’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Huang Jie. My son-in-law is all right. It was a false alarm.”.
Gu Hui sent more defensive troops to ensure the safety of the emperor’s son-in-law.
These daredevils won’t be around much longer.
Cheng En nodded his head. After
the banquet, the emperor said that he had accumulated years of documents that needed to be checked, so he did not stay in the harem, frowned and went to the Qiankun Hall.
Nan stood under the eaves, thinking about the assassination of his son-in-law. When
the emperor’s son-in-law went to investigate the administration of salt, he was stabbed. At first glance, it looked like a trick played by officials from Guangdong and Guangxi. He was afraid of being investigated, so it was better to strike first.
But after careful consideration, it has other profound meanings.
Guangdong and Guangxi are adjacent to Baiyue.
Could it be that Kang is confusing his sight?
Baiyue’s small actions are frequent, which is really thought-provoking.
Empress.
She heard a call.
Turn around, it’s Kong Liang. “I want to tell the empress that Yu Mu has been found,”
he whispered. “I wanted to bring him to the palace these two days.
But the task of the emperor was urgent, and he immediately set out for Guangdong and Guangxi.
This matter, to others to do, I absolutely can’t rest assured.
So, please wait for me to come back.
“” Good.
The moonlight pours out on Anan’s face the lost path of the mountains and rivers.
Join hands to admire, think also.
Cang Wu comes to complain and admire, and Angelica dahurica is fragrant. Only when we
can’t meet each other can we miss each other. Have you ever thought of your father in the latter half of your life after
your mother remarried?
The man who called her “Fan Tao,” the man who smiled comely and frail under the peach tree, the man who died early.
Nan leaned on the railing and looked at the dark night.
Everyone says, “a man looks like his mother.” Will Yu Mu’s face look like his mother in Anan’s memory?
Although this younger brother is not a member of the Zou family, Anan has never seen him, and he does not have many deep feelings, but since he was born to his mother, he must not be allowed to Wade into the mud and be used by the rest.
Now it seems that since the rest of the line of such a dangerous move, the front must be a dead end. Death is not a pity for those who
have only themselves to blame.
But never let him drag himself and Yu Mu into the water.
On that day, in the courtyard of Fengluan Hall, I recognized my mother with Anan. Every sentence sounded sincere. I must have thought about it in my heart. If something happened, I would take Anan as a shield.
Nan remembered what her father had told her. A true sorcerer is merciful, peaceful, and restrained.
From grandfather to father. The desire in
his eyes is too deep, his smile is too floating, and even his tears are too hard. From the first sight of him,
Nan knew that he was not a real man who knew the art. The divinatory symbols about rats in
his mouth must have been deliberately revealed by someone.
Thinking of this, Nan looked out.
Just Xiaomao sent Princess Chang back. Seeing Anan standing under the eaves
, Xiaomao hurriedly came over with a smile and said, “Let the maidservant wait on the empress to have a rest.”.
“Ah Nan said,” I saw at the banquet tonight that the loyal and talented people had a bad appetite. I didn’t eat two mouthfuls, so I stopped.
She is now pregnant with a dragon descendant, and as the queen of the palace, she should be taken care of.
You send a bowl of chicken soup to Wanxin courtyard for this palace.
When Xiaomao heard this, she blurted out, The empress is worried about what she is doing.
That foxy girl, does she like to eat! You can’t starve to death anyway! Nan smiled. “How do you know she won’t starve to death?”?
She has a double body.
“She doesn’t want to die,” said Xiaomao! Now she can get whatever she wants, and she’s the best bargain in the world! When he had finished speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were inappropriate. He bowed his head and said, “Don’t blame the empress. The maidservant is defending you against injustice. Her words are too radical.”.
Xiaomao has a lot of jealousy and dissatisfaction with loyal and talented people that can’t be concealed. It is
not entirely because the loyal and talented people are pregnant with dragon descendants, but also because of some other reasons.
Nan rarely sees Xiaomao with such a look.
She waved, and the Chamberlain had already handed over a food box. Go ahead
.
You are the maid in charge of this palace.
It’s up to you to send it. Be serious.
Anandao.
Xiaomao dilly-dally picked up the food box and walked to Wanxin Courtyard. The moonlight is really good
tonight.
In early summer, every star is so huge and bright, like the bright eyes of a beautiful woman. Just
as Nan was about to turn around and enter the hall, he heard a slight and charming laugh.
Nan looked up and saw Wan Fei looking at her with a smile.
Empress. Concu
bine Wan bent over and saluted. Why didn’t Concu
bine Wan’s sister go back to rest? Is there any reason to tell this palace?
My concubine always wanted to thank the empress, but there was no right time. The gorgeous face of Concu
bine Wan is now flowing with sincerity.
All right, thank Ben Gong for what.
Last month, when my father returned to Beijing to report on the military situation at the border, he suddenly received a decree saying that an official who had a woman in the harem as a concubine could bring his wife and concubine to the palace to visit him.
My concubine. I saw my father and mother, and I saw.. Thank you very much for waiting at home. Concu
bine Wan’s eyelashes drooped, plated with a little moonlight. In
her hesitant words, Anan understood what she wanted to express and what she was hiding.
Nan looked at her and said with a faint smile, “The younger sisters have been in the palace for a long time, and it’s hard to avoid missing their loved ones at home.”.
Crows and doves still have kinship, not to mention people?
The palace should be for the sake of all the people in the harem, no need to thank.
“” No, Empress, I should thank you.
I concubine listen to small wonderful said, the will is in the palace, specifically mentioned the wife and concubine.
According to common sense, official concubines are not qualified to enter the palace at all.
I don’t know when you realized the truth, but I appreciate your love.
My concubine is grateful. Said Concu
bine Wan, kneeling on the ground and making a big gift.
Originally, I thought that if you knew about this, you would use it as a bargaining chip to ask me something, but I waited for a long time, and you didn’t say anything.
It’s the heart of my concubine.
My concubine is ashamed.
A moment later, she gritted her teeth and said, Hu Wanxin thanks the empress.
Her real name is not Hu Wanchi, but Hu Wanxin.
Hu Wanchi is the daughter of Zhennan General Office, the daughter of the big lady, because of the intended person, insisted on refusing to enter the palace.
The first lady loved her own daughter and was not willing to go against her wishes and make her sad.
At the same time, they refused to let the Hu family miss such a good opportunity to climb the dragon and attach themselves to the phoenix, so they came up with the idea of “marrying a concubine under an assumed name.”.
Hu Wanxin is the second lady of Zhennan General’s Office, and her mother is the third aunt. When she was young
, she was sent to the palace by her family in the name of her sister. From then on, she was burdened with the honor and disgrace of the Hu family. Hu Wanchi,
her elder sister, married a suitable husband in the name of Hu Wanxin, and the couple loved each other. The two
sisters exchanged their lives. The
darkness and loneliness of the palace were left to her. Beautiful
flowers and full moon, thrush Lang, left to the elder sister.
She never complained about the injustice of fate. She had known since she was a child that there was a difference
between concubines.
She used to ride fast in her father’s martial arts training ground, with the wind whistling in her ears and the dust flying under her legs. She thought that no matter what kind of situation she would be in in the future, she would remember that no matter how desperate she was, she would never accept her fate.
Horseshoes can not be stuck in the mud for a lifetime, as long as struggling out, there are still thousands of miles ahead. The moment
she learned from the medical officer that she would never have another chance to have children in her life, she decided that she had to find a big tree for herself.
When she knew that it was Nakamiya’s will to give her a chance to meet her birth mother again, she knew that Zou Anan had already known the secret of her identity.
But Zou Anan did not mention it to her either openly or secretly.
She was more determined to join hands with Zou Anan.
Not only because of the identity of Zou Anan Zhonggong, but also because Zou Anan is calm, unusual women can be compared.
Remembering the day we met, her mother’s third aunt held her hand and said to her, “Wanxin, take care of yourself.”. Smiling,
she said to her mother, Ah Niang, you can rest assured that your daughter will be able to live a good life. How can my son live well
without children and grace?
The birth mother burst into tears.
She wiped the tears from her mother’s eyes with her hand and said firmly, “My daughter assures you that one day she will make you her wife.”.
After a hundred or a thousand years, there will be a big tortoise carrying you to the West.
Years later, she really did it. Shih, the third aunt of the
Hu family, was given the title of “Lady of the First Grade,” and was buried in the “Golden Turtle Crossing the Water,” a treasured place where the water of the Mingtang Lake was gathered and arched toward the mountains, creating a magnificent scene.
Shi Shi was humble all his life, but because he had a daughter, he was extremely sad and honored after his death.
This is the last word.
At that moment, when Anan heard her saying, “Hu Wanxin thanks the empress,” he understood all her thoughts. The best way for people to get close
quickly is to share secrets.
Hu Wanxin showed his sincerity to Anan in a Frank way.
Nan stepped forward and picked her up. “Sister, please get up.”.
“Hu Wanxin stood up, lowered her voice, and said quickly,” Although the empress didn’t say it explicitly, when I saw the loyal and talented man’s hoof moved to Wanxin Courtyard, I understood what the empress meant.
I will do it well. Don’t worry
, empress. “Calm down,”
said Anan.
When the plot is completely exposed, it can be uprooted.
This woman is not important, that alchemist is not important, the person behind them, is very important.
“” Yes.
Make them think they’re going to get it.
“” Yes.
The palace guessed that their group of people would be disadvantageous to the prince.
You pay close attention, and when necessary, you must protect the prince.
“” Yes.
“Hu Wanchi promised and wanted to turn around and leave. After a few steps, he turned around and said,” The empress must have known that the little girl beside you.. ” Nan nodded, “I know.”. When
Nan first became suspicious, he had already secretly checked out Xiaomao’s life story.
She and her mother both fled from Baiyue to Shangjing.
Although the language has been the same as the people in the capital, but in essence, after all, is Baiyue people. When the
curtain Wan Fei walked to the door, she happened to meet Xiaomao who had returned from delivering the soup.
Xiaomao saluted and said, “Concubine Wan is well. No wonder the maidservant didn’t see you when she went to the Wanxin Courtyard just now. So you’ve come to look for the empress.”.
“Concubine Wan nodded.” Come and give something to Princess Hua Le. Concu
bine Wan and Princess Hua Le were very congenial, and every time they came back to the Palace of Phoenix and Luan, they were reluctant to let go. Concu
bine Wan often made some small things for Princess Hua Le, such as small iron rings with strange styles, small bellybands with bright colors, and small dough figurines with charmingly naive faces.
Therefore, when Xiaomao heard this, he was not surprised. He only said with a smile, “You are the most distressed to the princess.”. Concu
bine Wan glanced at the food box and opened her mouth. She changed the subject and said, The one in the West Side Hall is really lucky. In the middle of the night, the empress sent you, the big master, to deliver soup to her. Of course, the one in the
West Side Hall refers to Xiao Chan.
Hearing this, Xiaomao’s complexion was somewhat like overnight pork liver, the caramel color came up, and the tips of his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes were not fresh. He’s
just a talented man, and he wants to put on a splashy display.
“Concubine Wan lowered her voice and said enviously,” Yesterday I overheard the little chamberlains of the Hall of Heaven and Kun gossiping that the emperor had asked the alchemist of the Temple of Anping, and that the man in the West Side Hall was not an ordinary person! He said, “If you get a wise king, you should be lucky in the southeast.”.
According to this palace, this loyal and talented person is very lucky. I’m afraid all the people in this palace will look at her face in the future. The color of pork liver is getting heavier and heavier.
Alas, as I talked, I got tired. Concu
bine Wan yawned and walked away.
Xiaomao came into the hall, waited on Anan to freshen up, knelt down, and lay on the couch with his eyes open.
She rolled over a few times, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. When the
drum beat three times, an agile figure quietly came out of the Fengluan Hall, turning seven times and eight times, with skillful posture, and suddenly disappeared into the night. After
Kong Liang arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, he investigated the case day and night, and the case finally took shape.
The assassin of the emperor’s son-in-law was traced to a young man busking in Jianghu.
Sheng Tang, Ming Shen, the man kept his mouth shut and refused to confess.
After three days of trial, at the end, he uttered a name and bit his tongue to commit suicide.
Kong Liang hurriedly flew to his body, pressed his head, broke his mouth, tried to stop him, but it was too late, his mouth was full of blood, his eyes were wide open, and he died straight. The name
he gave up, “Yan,” was the imperial salt inspector of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Yan has always been upright since he became an official in the first year of Shunkang.
It is said that he hung a sword at the gate of his house to remind himself that if he was greedy, the sword would fall from the top of his head.
The killer is dead.
His confession became a death confession. The road
ahead was blocked, and Kong Liang did not know what to do.
He wrote a secret letter to the emperor asking for a decree, and the emperor briefly replied to him with a line of words: “I will be imprisoned.”.
Kong Liang was suddenly enlightened.
In this situation, prison is the safest place for Yan. There is still a huge gap in
salt administration. Zhang Xun,
the emperor’s son-in-law, checked all the officials related to salt administration in Guangdong and Guangxi, and drew up a new draft of salt administration according to the local conditions and submitted it to the emperor. After the emperor’s
visit, the heart of the dragon was very happy.
The new case is concise and comprehensive, criticizes the current malpractices, and clearly solves the shortcomings of the old policy.
The emperor nodded his head, and the new case was carried out vigorously from the six ministries to Kyushu.
Zhang Xun was the Number One Scholar in the sixth year of Shunkang. Although he was full of talent, he had no political achievements since he became an official.
Apart from the identity of the royal son-in-law, there is no place to convince the public.
This time, the emperor visited salt, drew up new policies, and stayed in Guangdong and Guangxi to supervise the implementation of the new policies. His achievements were remarkable. For a time, all the ministers in and out of the government were amazed.
The long princess also felt that her face was quite glorious, and she walked more and more frequently in the palace.
Kong Liang returned to Beijing in the middle of June. After
Yan was imprisoned, it was as if a curtain had been blown open by the wind, and things behind the scenes were slowly revealed.
Two officials suspected of colluding with Baiyue were secretly monitored. On the surface,
Guangdong and Guangxi look calm, but in fact, it seems that a bow has been pulled to the extreme. It will bounce up
at any time and launch a fatal blow somewhere. On the day of his return,
Kong Liang left the palace in a hurry after reporting to the emperor in the Qiankun Hall.
He promised Nan that when he came back, he would bring Yu Mu into the palace.
In order not to frighten the snake and leak the news, he had never told anyone about Yu Mu’s whereabouts before.
Yu bought a house in the city, but Yu Mu was not placed in this “Yu House.”.
He seemed to expect that someone would come looking for his brother and made other plans early. In an Academy in the west of
the city, a group of young children shook their heads and read articles.
Ming-feng is at the Bamboo and White Horse Food Market. By
vegetation, Lai and Wanfang.
Cover this body hair, four big five constant.
Gong Wei Ju Yang, dare not damage.
The female admires the chastity, the male serves the talent.
If you know your mistakes, you must correct them; if you can, you must not forget them.
Don’t talk about the other side’s shortcomings, and rely on your own strengths. Kong Liang looked at one of the children from a distance.
His eyes flickered, black and white, and he was very clever in a group of children. Before
Yu entered the palace, he told an old servant to take Yu Mu to live in the Academy.
The old servant was brought by Yu from Baiyue. He had been in the Yu family for decades and was particularly loyal.
He obeyed the eldest young master and carefully and attentively served the young master in the Academy, never leaving him. At the
third quarter of the year, school broke up.
Kong Liang told a servant to trick the old servant aside on the pretext that “the eldest young master has a letter.”.
Kong Liang picked up the child, jumped and flew to the roof.
His steps were quick and light, and the sound of stepping on the tiles was like raindrops.
For a moment, it landed firmly on the ground.
Yu Mu did not panic, did not shout.
He looked at Kong Liang with wide-eyed interest and asked, “Who are you?”?
Kong Liang did not speak.
Why can you fly?
Do you want to learn?
“Yu Mu nodded happily,” Yes.
“Kong Liang smiled,” If you promise to meet someone with me, I can teach you how to fly.
“” Who?
Yu Mu frowned gently, like two small hills. “My eldest brother won’t let me see strangers,”
he said hesitantly.
She is not a stranger.
She’s your sister.
“Yu Mu thought for a moment and asked,” Yes.. Sister Nan?
You know her?
“” Mmm.
Mother said that Nan Jie was far away, where there were many peach blossoms and white fog. The inner chamber of the Hall of the
Phoenix.
Nan sat on the soft couch with a white jade hairpin in his hand.
Xiaomao was invited to Wanxin Courtyard to embroider shoes, and the rest of the palace people were sent out of the hall by her, and the room was empty.
She looked up and saw Kong Liang coming in with a little boy.
The little boy’s eyes sparkled, and his tender face had a familiar charm that he had not seen for a long time.
The game Anan is not used to being warm with people since he was a child. No matter how high and long the mountains and rivers are in his heart, there is no wind and no waves on his face.
She watched the round-headed little boy coming towards her, getting closer and closer.
She seemed to see her mother.
Nan remembers things very early.
She remembered her mother laughing and brushing the broken hair on her forehead and calling her, “Nan Mei Tou.”.
Her mother taught her to walk, her mother taught her to talk.
Mother’s accent had the brutal tone of Baiyue, and a long coda turned a thousand times between her lips and teeth.
No matter what words, in the mother’s mouth, are very soft, even if it is parting.
Nan did not get up, nor did she open her mouth.
She just calmly looked at this younger brother named Yu Mu.
The little boy looked at her, too, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Are you Sister Nan?
The little boy spoke.
Nan nodded.
Mother said that Nan Jie was in a place full of peach blossoms, and Nan Jie wore her hair in pigtails.
But you don’t have peach blossoms here, and you don’t have braids.
Are you really sister Nan?
The little boy thought seriously.
Mother described the scene fifteen years ago.
Today’s Anan, where will be the appearance of a three-year-old child?
Mother’s memory of her is very limited.
Just like she did to her mother.
Nan smiled softly. “Because Sister Nan has grown up.”.
The little boy nodded as if enlightened. Why are the houses
here so much bigger than I’ve ever seen before? Where is this place?
This is the Imperial Palace.
Nan said slowly. The
Nine Heavens have closed their palaces, and all nations have dressed themselves and worshipped their crowns.
The palace is the place where the emperor lives.
No wonder it’s so big.
The little boy was like a little adult: The Son of Heaven is the father of the world. Who is
Sister Nan of the Son of Heaven?
“Ah Nan smiled.” You’re eleven years old this year. Have you studied so much? After
a pause, she said, Sister Nan is the wife of the Son of Heaven.
It turns out that Sister Nan is the queen.
The little boy imitated the adult man and saluted in a presentable manner: Yu Mu paid his respects to the empress.
Nan got up and helped Yu Mu up. She reached out her hand and stroked his eyebrows, his eyes, and all the marks of his mother on his face.
Her voice softened. “For the rest of the time, don’t go back to where you used to live. Sister Nan will arrange for you to live in a house with mountains, rivers and flowers, okay?”?
“Yu Mu raised his head.” But will Big Brother be very worried about me? Does
your eldest brother treat you well?
“I tilted my head and thought for a moment,” When my father and mother left, they both said, “My elder brother is like my father. Let me listen to my elder brother.
My eldest brother didn’t treat me very well, but there was nothing wrong with him.
He always seems mysterious and can disappear for a long time.
I asked him where he had gone, but he refused to tell me. He only said that children were at home and there was no need to ask about adults.
But I’m not young.
My husband said, with my present knowledge, I can go to Xiucai. There was a little pride on
his face, and in his round eyes there was a desire to be praised.
Nan patted him on the head. “Very good.”.
Sister Nan also likes studying very much.
It’s a pity that she is a daughter and can’t take the imperial examination.
She bent down as if to whisper to him, Sister Nan is playing a game with your eldest brother.
Are you interested in participating?
Of course there is.
Yu Mu enjoyed the big sister talking to him in a Consultative tone.
Then you can listen to Sister Nan’s arrangement.
Let the big brother take you to a place to hide. Only a few of us know
the secret.
When the game between Nan Jie and your eldest brother is over, Nan Jie will pick you up in person.
Ok?
“” Good.
Yu Mu thought for a moment and answered.
Nan and Kong Liang looked at each other for a moment. Kong Liang understood what to do and said to Nan, “I will live up to the trust of the empress.”.
Nan nodded his head.
The rest must be defeated.
But she must not let him grasp Yu Mu in the palm of his hand as a bargaining chip for him to fight back against her. There is a saying in
the Book of Songs: “When the sky is not overcast and rainy, the mulberry soil is thoroughly covered, and the silk is used by the household.”.
She thought about all the possibilities that would happen.
Yu Mu followed Kong Liang away, and when he reached the gate of the temple, he ran back. “Sister Nan,”
he said breathlessly, “there’s something I forgot to tell you. My eldest brother has wheezing. He can’t cover himself with goose down or eat crabs and shrimps. When
you play games with him, you should pay attention to these.
Or he’ll have a seizure.
I remember he had an attack the year before last, and a servant accidentally changed his quilt core.
Father and mother are very frightened. There is a house full of doctors
at home.
“Nan was stupefied and promised,” Well, Sister Nan knows.
Yu Mu was relieved to go with Kong Liang.
Along the way, he raised his head and asked Kong Liang cheerfully when he would teach him to “fly.”.
Nan pinched the white jade hairpin in his hand very tightly.
June is the month of Fu.
In the palace, there are two important festivals in this month: Tianyi Festival and Guanlian Festival. It
is said that the scriptures were soaked by the sea when the eminent monks crossed the sea, and the scriptures were taken out and dried on the sixth day of the sixth month, which became an auspicious day.
Historically, the emperor in the palace on this day for the sun dragon robe.
Watching the Lotus Festival, because June 24 is the birthday of the lotus, so on that day, picking fresh and tender lotus leaves as a wine cup, reciting poems and drinking, is a pleasure.
During the two festivals, Cheng Haodu ordered people to summon Yu from Anping Temple to pray for the stars by the Royal Lake. People
in the palace all said that this alchemist might really have some skills, and the emperor ordered him to do it.
Autumn came in a twinkling of an eye, because Cheng Hao was born on the ninth day of the ninth month, and this day is the Longevity Festival. The fetus of the
loyal and talented person has been more than five months, and the abdomen has become the most eye-catching scenery in the palace.
The emperor had been in power for three years, but his children were still thin, and he had only one prince.
If the loyal talent is born male, then the status of the loyal talent in the palace will rise.
And now among a small group of people in the palace, there is a saying that “if you get a wise king, you should be lucky in the southeast,” which makes people look forward to the fetus in the belly of a loyal and talented person a little more. On the day of
the Longevity Festival, the sun was full and bright, and the emperor held a banquet in Imperial Garden to entertain the royal relatives and dignitaries.
A Nan sat beside him, followed by Xiang Fei, Wan Fei, Zhongcai Ren, and Liu Fangyi, who had been grounded for half a year and had just regained her freedom.
The emperor seemed to be in high spirits and raised his glass frequently. Not long after, Anan and the concubines were slightly drunk and blushed.
Only Wan Fei, who grew up in Yunnan and Guizhou and was quite good at drinking, and Zhongcai, who was pregnant and used water instead of wine, were still sober.
A Nan got up and wanted to wipe his face with cold water. He raised his eyes, but did not see the figure of Xiaomao. He called the head of the Fengluan Palace and several second-class palace people to accompany him. In
the secluded place, I heard two small palace people whispering. Have you
seen it?
Today, a lot of women are complimenting the loyal and talented people. I think they will be blessed in the future.
Let’s just follow the trend and flatter others.
But a loyal and talented person is born in a palace. Isn’t there a saying that a son is valued by his mother?
“One of them covered his mouth and laughed,” That’s a mistake. The Empress Dowager Qi An used to be a beggar girl. Didn’t our emperor sit in the Dragon Court as well? Just as
Nan was about to come forward and scold him, he saw that the eldest princess had appeared at an unknown time. “What is
that maidservant who dares to be mentioned in the same breath with his mother?” He sneered?
Your flattery is a little hasty and a little early. What is the crime of
talking about the crown prince?
Then he ordered the servant woman, “Go, slap your mouth!” The servant woman was the dowry chosen by the Empress Dowager for the princess in the past year. She had always been a powerful person. After listening to the master’s command, she immediately went up, opened her bow left and right, and slapped the two ladies in the mouth.
Nan kept silent and turned away as if he had seen nothing. The long princess can do the
same thing, but she can’t.
She was in the middle of the palace, and anything that involved empresses, concubines, and crown princes was not allowed to be deep or shallow.
A little carelessness showed that she was narrow-minded and jealous of a little talented person.
Nan went to the banquet. Before
they arrived, they heard a sudden scream: “Son!” It’s the voice of Kong Lingyan.
A Nanxin said not good, busy three steps and make two steps, trot to run past.
I saw a monkey standing and walking, with a colored ball on his head, holding the prince in his arms, walking on stilts, dancing happily.
Nan looked at it and understood.
Every year on the Longevity Festival, the performers of Si Le Lou will arrange new programs to offer saints.
This year, a new program has been added: Monkey’s Birthday Celebration.
Ling Monkey was paid tribute to Shangjing by the King of Bashu County last month.
According to his table above, this spirit monkey was accidentally discovered by a strange man from Bashu who went deep into the mountains. On the day the monkey
arrived in Beijing, he imitated the human form on the Hall of Golden Bells, which amazed all the ministers.
Not only that, the spirit monkey would hold a brush in his hand, dip it in ink, and write the four words “Long live the emperor” on the paper.
His handwriting flutters with the spirit of immortals, which is the great joy of the holy view.
Over the past month, the performers of Si Le Lou have trained day and night, so that the monkeys have learned to dance on the rhythm of music, not only that, but also to walk on stilts, carry colored balls on their heads, and make short and harmonious sounds in their mouths.
The actors expected that the monkey would shine brilliantly on the Longevity Festival to please the saints and win a big prize.
Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened-when the monkey was performing, he jumped to Kong Lingyan unexpectedly, snatched the prince from her hand, and in the surprise of the crowd, he stepped on stilts and danced violently.
The imperial guards rushed over with arrows. “No!
” Cried Kong Lingyan, shaking her head at her brother. If you shoot the monkey at this time, the prince will fall suddenly from a high place, which is no small matter.
And if enraged this wild thing, its hand hurt the prince, also unknown.
Kong Lingyan, of course, did not want her son to take risks, and her heart rose and fell with every movement of the monkey.
Cheng Hao frowned and looked around at everyone present.
At this time, suddenly heard Wan Fei mouth issued a burst of monkey calls.
Long and short, lifelike. For the first time
, Anan felt that Wanfei’s vocal imitations was so brilliant that people could see a lush forest in front of her, with large groups of monkeys playing and playing, peaceful and beautiful.
The monkey slowly quieted down from his state of extreme excitement. He got down from the stilts and handed the baby in his arms to the concubine Wan.
The imperial guards came forward, restrained the monkey, and locked it in an iron cage.
It was a near miss.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Kong Lingyan pounced on the prince, hugged him and wept with joy.
Cheng Hao looked at Concubine Wan and exclaimed, “Thanks to you, Wan Chi.”.
“Concubine Wan knelt on the ground and said,” My concubine’s skill of carving insects has made the emperor laugh.
Cheng Hao walked over to Kong Lingyan and patted her on the back. He looked at the prince in Kong Lingyan’s arms and asked, I remember I didn’t wear this dress when I got up early.
“Kong Lingyan said,” Just now I accidentally dripped soup on my body. My concubine ordered someone to change his clothes. With
tacit understanding, Cheng Hao casually turned over the prince’s clothes with his hand and asked, Oh?
Who changed the clothes for my son? If you
go back to the emperor, you are a maidservant.
A plain-dressed palace man stood up and replied respectfully.
Her name was Zhi He, and since Xiao Chan was given the title of a talented person and moved to another place, the inner court supervisor appointed Zhi He to be the maid in charge of the Yanming Hall.
The girl worked quickly and took good care of the prince. Once the
prince’s nostrils were blocked and her breathing was not smooth, she did not hesitate to suck with her mouth.
Her honesty is deeply loved by Kong Lingyan.
But she never relied on her master’s fondness for her tone, and she was very peaceful. Everyone in Yanming Hall liked her very much, and they all called her “Sister Ho” for everything big or small.
Cheng Hao noticed that her hands were rather rough and her hair was combed tightly and meticulously.
The girl’s eyes showed a sense of duty and thoughtfulness. Did you
just go back to the Yanming Hall with your son in your arms to change your clothes, or did you order someone to go back to the Yanming Hall to get your clothes?
“Zhi He replied,” This dress was given to the maidservant by the little girl beside the empress today. It was said that today was the Longevity Festival, a day of celebration. The empress, as a legitimate mother, cared about the prince, and sent a brocade dress to express her heart.
Just then, the prince was splashed with soup, and the maidservant took advantage of his hand to change his clothes.
On the one hand, it is convenient; on the other hand, it is also a tribute to the empress.
“Cheng Hao nodded,” I know. Get up.
Then he comforted Kong Lingyan and said, You are frightened today. Take your son and go back to rest.
Kong Lingyan nodded and left with Zhi He and the women of the palace.
As a result of this incident, the “monkey’s birthday celebration” turned into a “monkey’s disturbance,” and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down. The actors in
Si Le Lou were even more shivering, fearing that disaster would come. From the beginning of Zhi He’s words,
Nan’s heart was like a red charcoal falling into cold water, squeaking and smoking in disorder.
At the banquet, she had a bad feeling when she couldn’t find her.
Sure enough.
Although she suspected that Xiaomao was not a day or two, she was also wary of it, but at this moment, her vague guess was confirmed, or some sad.
She can always think of the way she called her “Miss Anan” when she was a child.
In this snobbish palace, Xiaomao was the one who smiled at her most sincerely.
Nan never told anyone that she always had an indelible inferiority complex in front of Cheng Hao, Shen Qinghuan and Kong Liang.
She has no illustrious ancestors. She is the daughter of a small family.
Xiaomao can give her a warm and equal feeling, that feeling, let her cherish. When
she first entered the palace, she asked the supervisor of the inner court to send Xiaomao to be the maid of honor beside her.
From the day she was born prematurely, she noticed something strange about Xiaomao.
Later, Xiaomao was eager to show his head in front of Cheng Hao again and again.
And a few days ago, the small three more went to Anping to watch the sneaky figure, and the jealousy of the gnashing of teeth when talking about Xiao Chan.
Nan’s mind was jumping from scene to scene.
Xiaomao’s masks were also unveiled one by one.
A Nan thought, originally Xiaomao was the most important chess piece in their group. She was the maid in charge of the palace, and she looked more charming than Xiaochan.
Her capital was better than Xiao Chan’s, but in the end, she let Xiao Chan, the alternative chess piece, take the lead and make the key piece in the chess game. The
setting sun came down, and a Nan’s phoenix robe was plated with several layers of gold.
She looked at Cheng Hao, not knowing how Cheng Hao would react after hearing Zhi He’s words.
Nan’s eyes at the moment are like the broken lotus leaves under the autumn rain.
The banquet broke up.
Cheng Hao fined the actors of Si Le Lou a month’s worth of silver.
Such punishment made them overjoyed, like a dream of forgiveness, and went away with a thousand thanks.
The emperor’s relatives and political leaders also dispersed.
Kong Liang arranged for everyone to leave in an orderly manner. The
Imperial Garden gradually emptied, and Anan stood motionless in the same place.
Cheng Hao was silent for a moment and said softly, “The empress is tired. Go back to the palace.”.
Nan opened his mouth, trying to explain something: “Your Majesty, my concubine..” Cheng Hao waved his hand, as if he didn’t want to say more: “Go.”.
“Ah Nan saluted,” My concubine, excuse me.
“Cheng Hao ordered Xiaozhou,” Bring the little girl from the Middle Palace to the Hall of Heaven and Earth.
“” Yes.
The night fell like a veil. In the candlestick of the Hall of
Heaven and Earth, the wick is burning quietly.
Cheng Hao sat in the middle of the big chair, and Xiaomao knelt in front of him. Before
Cheng Hao could ask a question, he kowtowed and said, “It’s all the maidservant’s fault. It’s all the maidservant’s fault. It’s not the empress’s business..” Cheng Hao smiled and said, “I haven’t said what it is yet.”.
“Xiaomao lowered his head.” It’s the maidservant’s fault anyway.
“That dress today..” Tears came out from the corners of her eyes, and the candlelight reflected the tears. She said pitifully, “It’s all the maidservant’s fault. If you don’t do anything for the empress, don’t blame the empress.”.
The maidservant would rather die than you blame the empress.
“” Oh?
Your fault?
Tell me, what did you do wrong?
Cheng Hao picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.
The maidservant.. The maidservant. Slaves deserve to die for their sins.. Xiaomao’s face was in a hurry.
It seems that you can’t tell where you are wrong.
Cheng Hao placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
Xiaomao seemed to be defending the queen, but hesitated, and every sentence was deliberately leading the fire to the palace.
Monkeys will be particularly excited when they see red. The lining of the prince’s clothes today is red, and it has been perfumed with a kind of fruit fragrance that is very attractive to monkeys.
Therefore, when the monkey saw the color and smelled the smell, he became excited and made such a move. As soon as
Cheng Hao saw it today, he understood what was going on.
He looked at the girl in front of him with thought-provoking eyes and said, “Gu used to say that you are loyal and brave, and you are really loyal and brave.”.
Xiaomao raised her head and looked at the emperor. The maidservant is the maidservant of the empress. She knows the empress very well. Although
she often regretted that the eldest son of the emperor was not from the palace, she was also angry at the disrespect of the Empress Xiangfei to the palace, but. But she.. She’s innocent.
She never hurt the emperor’s eldest son’s heart.
Cheng Hao thought for a moment, stepped forward, and held out his hand to Xiaomao.
Xiaomao was stunned. “My favorite word is loyalty,” said
Cheng Hao.
When the former sages created characters, the upper part was beside the “middle” of the ancient shape, and the lower part was beside the “heart”. Loyalty was the center, and the heart was not distracted.
Ma Rong once wrote a book saying that the greatest virtue in the world is loyalty.
He pursed the corners of his mouth and said, I like people who are loyal. Loyal people are loyal, and so are you.
Xiaomao nervously handed her hand to Cheng Hao, who picked her up.
Today’s accident was the fault of the people of Si Le Lou. Since there was no danger, let’s not mention it. As
Cheng Hao spoke, he changed the subject and said, What do you think of asking you to come to the Hall of the Heavenly Stems and Kun to serve as the maid in charge of the Hall of the Heavenly Stems and Kun?
“This..” Xiaomao was very surprised.
She was ready to be tortured, but she didn’t think about it. Not only did she not wait for the storm, but she waited for the long grace. But
.. The maidservant. The maidservant couldn’t bear to part with the empress. I can’t bear to part with Princess Hua Le. What did she think.
Cheng Hao smiled and said, “When the empress is there, Gu will ask the supervisor of the inner court to send someone new to serve her.”.
What, are you trying to disobey orders?
“Xiaomao hurriedly knelt on the ground again and said,” The maidservant obeys.
Cheng Hao looked at the moon on the ninth day of the first lunar month outside the Hall of Gankun. It was a cold arc, and it was still a little short of the full moon.
After Xiaomao was transferred, Anan suddenly felt much more relaxed. The feeling that there was a pair of eyes in the
dark suddenly disappeared.
At first, Nan was afraid of Cheng Hao’s misunderstanding.
She is not afraid of Cheng Hao’s punishment, but she is afraid of Cheng Hao’s cold eyes.
But no.
Cheng Hao just took Xiaomao to the Qiankun Hall, and then sent a boat to deliver the decree, saying that Xiaomao had stayed in the Qiankun Hall from then on.
For the rest, there is no other news.
Cheng Hao did not ask a Nan.
A Nan sat under the eaves of the palace, listening to the sound of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and suddenly wanted to understand something.
She had a long-lost feeling.
She and Cheng Hao understand each other, plan together, and walk together.
It is a tacit understanding that can only be sensed but cannot be expressed in words. As
wise as Cheng Hao, he must have understood more deeply than she did. They were all people who stood at a high place to watch the play. The monkey of
the Longevity Festival went mad and killed two birds with one stone.
When it’s done, get rid of the emperor’s eldest son and plant it on the queen. If you can’t do
it, you can still pass the buck to the queen.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.
The lights reflected Nan’s face. She knew the origin of the danger
in the palace.
As Zhongcai’s belly grew bigger and bigger, there was an inexplicable sound of rats in Wanxin Courtyard from time to time, which made the palace people panic.
Thinking of the crazy rat in Yanming Hall not long ago, the palace people all said that the ghost of the rat spirit was coming again.
Cheng Hao called Yu and asked why. After some calculation,
I kowtowed and said, “Congratulations to the emperor, the nemesis of the rat is coming.”.
“” Really?
That is indeed a happy event.
Cheng Hao took a sip of tea. The
mist enveloped his face.
Kneeling on the ground, Yu could not see the expression of the emperor for a moment. On the seventh day of the twelfth month of the fifteenth year
of Shunkang, the second son of the emperor was born in Wanxin Courtyard. On the day of the birth of the
prince, there seemed to be hundreds of rats singing in the Wanxin courtyard. In Shangjing in the twelfth
month of the lunar year, the cold wind is howling and freezing three feet.
Looking up, the garden is bleak.
Only pines and cypresses and plum blossoms, in the silent winter, are green and fragrant. Why is there a rat sound in
such a season?
When the prince was born, the maid of the Wanxin Courtyard found several fat mice running around in the courtyard. She screamed.
The voice, the palace people heard the heart of fear, passing Wanxin courtyard, all detour.
The guards caught the mice.
Cheng Hao looked at them, all fat, dark eyes, and their cries were harsh. I have never seen such rats
in Shangjing, but they are like barbarians.
He kept silent and entered the temple.
Mammy brought the newborn son over, and a group of people knelt on the ground to congratulate him.
Cheng Hao took the second prince from Mammy’s arms, looked at him, and then looked at the loyal and talented man who was half lying on the bed. He said with a smile, “You seem to have a predestined relationship with the rat.”. The
loyal and talented man bowed his head, not knowing how to answer. For a moment,
she couldn’t figure out whether these visions were the intention of “one of us.”.
Those mice, she knows, are the things of Baiyue.
She grew up in Baiyue, and it was common for people who cooked rats to eat it.
But she didn’t understand why it was arranged like this?
Is it the meaning of Yu or the meaning of King Kang? What is the
purpose?
Once upon a time, the rat appeared in order to let Yu stay in the palace and let her stand out in front of Cheng Hao.
Now, all wishes have been fulfilled, the prince has been born, but also get these rats to do?
She’s a little confused.
Since she moved to Wanxin Courtyard, her movements were no longer as free as before. Concu
bine Wan was a very shrewd person. She often stood akimbo under the eaves. Whenever she stepped out, she pretended to be concerned and said, “Oh, sister, where are you going?”?
And since the accident on the Longevity Festival, the palace has stepped up its guard, and the guards at the gates of the palaces are several times as strict as before.
In addition, when she grew up, her body became heavy, and it was not convenient for her to travel at night.
On the one hand, they are afraid of accidents, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being exposed and discovered.
Once upon a time, I met Yu at least twice a month, but now I haven’t met him for three or four months. As soon as the
message was broken, she was like a bird with its wings cut off in this Wanxin courtyard, not knowing where she was ahead.
She thought of Xiaomao bitterly.
That bitch, unexpectedly also do not know to take the initiative to pass the message with her, afraid is only know to take advantage of this mouth to hook up with a man.
She rubbed the bedding heavily with her hands.
I risk having children here, and they don’t know how to be happy behind their backs.
If it is done, it will be good for everyone. If
it doesn’t work, they’ll shrink the bastard’s neck and hide easily, but I’m the only one who dies! The more Zhongcai thought about it, the more angry he became, with tears in his eyes. Seeing this,
Cheng Hao comforted him by saying, “I’m just saying it casually. Don’t eat my heart.”.
Gu went to the alchemist to ask what was going on.
This remark plays into the hands of a loyal and talented person.
She also wants to know what’s going on.
Cheng Hao got up and walked to Anpingguan.
People speculated that the loyal and talented man gave birth to a son, but failed to get the title of Jin. The emperor seemed not to like the newly born prince very much. The congratulatory forms of the
officials and the States were piled up on the table, but the emperor did not mention the banquet. Inside
the Anping Temple, in front of the statue of the immortal, there are hundreds of flowers and incense, burning nine tiny lamps, and offering a bottle of plum blossoms.
Yu knelt on the ground and greeted him. From a commanding position,
Cheng Hao came straight to the point and asked, “a few months ago, you told Gu that if you had a wise king, you should be lucky.”.
He also said that the nemesis of rats was coming.
Every sentence means a loyal and talented person and the fetus in his womb.
Why are there so many unknown rats in the palace now that the second prince has been born? I beat a drum in my
heart. What’s happening
now is very different from what was planned.
Xiao Chan is in Wanxin Courtyard and hasn’t come out for a long time.
Xiaomao was transferred from the middle palace, and she could no longer monitor the situation of the people in the harem. She was in the Hall of Heaven and Earth, and she dared not make a mistake in every step. Both of
these wires are broken.
I can no longer figure out whether the water in the harem is muddy or muddy.
King Kang sealed letters, all asking how the situation was.
He is easy to write, but difficult to write.
More importantly, a few months ago, the old servant told him that Yu Mu had disappeared for no reason.
He couldn’t see whose handwriting it was.
Was it because King Kang was worried about him that he came up with such an idea as a threat?
Or was it Empress Zhonggong Zou, his sister, who had no blood relationship with him, who secretly took precautions?
Now he kowtowed to the doubting Son of Heaven and said, “Your Majesty, the two princes are indeed the nemesis of rats. Perhaps it is because of this that a hundred rats have changed.”.
More probably.. Is a person with ulterior motives, want to harm the two princes, murder the emperor your dragon heir.
“Suddenly, he sighed,” Come to think of it, if a loyal and talented person had given birth to a princess instead of a prince, he wouldn’t have been contaminated with so many disputes, would he?
What a way to divert attention and sow dissension.
Cheng Hao thought for a moment, then gazed at him and said, “Well, who do you think is playing tricks behind his back?”?
Yu repeatedly kowtowed several times: The grass people dare not say.
Cheng Hao sat down. Baihe incense
in Anping Temple is made of white sandalwood, Ding Zi, Lingling, Qinggui, Baijian, Gansong, Suhe and Yanxiang, with strong and lasting fragrance.
Just say it.
Since I have kept you in the palace so long, I have believed what you have said.
Cheng Hao Dao.
Grass people thank the emperor.
“I raised my head for a long time and then said,” Your Majesty, think about it. Who doesn’t want one flower to bloom and one family to dominate?
Now there is one more prince in the palace, which is naturally unhappy.
He was alluding to Yanming Hall, Xiangfei, Kong Liang, and the whole Kong family.
Cheng Hao smiled, said nothing, and got up to leave.
Seeing the figure in the dragon robe disappear in the doorway, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
He wasn’t sure if Cheng Hao believed him or not.
He felt more and more worried about his situation.
Everything is out of his hands. A room of Pale moonlight filled the
window.
I got up from the ground and paced back and forth in the room. Remembering what King Kang had said to him,
he weighed the situation carefully.
Fortunately, the second prince was born smoothly, which is the greatest blessing.
Maybe it’s time to do that. I threw the peach wood sword into the fire and burned it.
He looked at the fire, more and more determined.
Throughout the ages, profit is sought from danger.
If you get this amazing price, you should not be afraid to fight to the death. The night of the
Phoenix Hall. The
snow crushed the pines and cypresses in the courtyard, and the sound of “creaking” was heard from time to time. The
hall was ablaze with lights.
A Nan is playing chess, and Wan Fei is sitting opposite her.
Empress, why do you want to play chess with yourself?
I will accompany you.
Nan shook his head. Only when
you play chess with yourself can you become more and more sober. When you play chess
with others, there is only victory or defeat in your heart.
“Concubine Wan said faintly,” You are already the most sober person I have ever seen in my life.
“Nan said with a smile,” Is Linger still effective?
“That girl is very nice,” said Concubine Wan. You are very
clever, and you can see through it at one point.
She cooperated perfectly with her concubines. The evil spirit in the
West Side Hall didn’t notice it at all.
“Nan rubbed a white seed in his hand.” Since they’re making an issue of the rat, let’s follow them.
With the plan of the son, break the plan of the son.
In a moment, Bai Zi fell steadily. Concu
bine Wan said, I didn’t expect that you would really allow that child to be born.
Nan looked at her. The child must be born.
I don’t understand.
Nan picked up a sunspot and said, With the prince in hand, they dare to fight for the last one. When the
situation is not good, they will jump over the wall in desperation. When they
have children, they are willing to jump over the wall. A Nan has already thought about
the advance and retreat, relaxation and scale.
Chessboard Mountain.
The sunspot drives the white one to a dead end.
Bai Zi fought with his back to the wall and ate a large area of sunspots.
A Nan held the sunspot in his hand and fought back with lightning speed. A piece of
white armor is not left. At the end of the
game, Nan put down his chess. Look
, something big is going to happen in this palace soon.
“Concubine Wan said nervously,” Does the emperor know?
Nan nodded.
She had never talked to him about it, but she knew that he must know.
Cheng Hao naturally knows.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He waited for a long time for the reason of cutting Yue. How is it possible for
a tiny country to occupy the court without fighting?
Everything is going on quietly. On the tenth day of the twelfth month of the lunar year, the second son of the emperor, Cheng Suo, washed three.
A Nan went to the Wanxin courtyard, but when he saw that Cheng Hao had not come, he sent his Chamberlain to the Hall of Heaven and Earth to have a look.
A moment later, the Chamberlain came back and said that the emperor was discussing with the military commanders who had returned to the capital to report on their work. He was too busy to care. According to the old practice
, Anan gave Zhongcai some gold and silver utensils, brocade, silk and silk, and rewarded Zhongcai and the two princes with a two-month salary. The twelfth month of the fifteenth year
of Shunkang is capricious.
Sometimes sunny, sometimes gloomy.
Dark clouds seem to lurk in a corner of the sky, and they will come unexpectedly at any time. On the official road
to Beijing, the sun came out, and before the snow could be swept away, the snowflakes were falling. The
new snow and the old snow, wrapped in dust and mud, the horse’s hooves stepped on it, dirty and depressing for no reason. At the end of the
year, the foreign States sent New Year’s coins and festival gifts to Beijing. As soon as the envoy
of Baiyue arrived in Shangjing, he fell ill. The southerners who have
lived in Baiyue for a long time cannot resist the sudden change of the weather in the north. The emissary’s hands and feet,
according to the medical officer whom the emperor had sent to greet him, were swollen with cold like steamed bun, and they itched and ached.
The emperor smiled and said, “Then let him rest in the inn.”.
One evening, Nan had just rested when he heard the sound of knocking on the window.
It’s Linger.
“Empress, today the maidservant, as you said, has gone to Anping Temple to invite the alchemist to Wanxin Courtyard in the name of the purity of the palaces at the end of the year.”.
Nan smiled faintly.
“When the emperor hosted a banquet for the generals,” said Linger, “Concubine Wan’s father, General Zhennan, was quite prestigious in the army, so he asked Concubine Wan to go with him. When Concu
bine Wan came back, she said that there would be new people in the palace next year, the young ladies of the Hou Mansion in Peiping and the young ladies of the Xianggong Mansion. Both the loyal and talented man and the alchemist heard
this. The wind was whistling.
Linger suddenly lowered her voice. “The maidservant heard the alchemist tell the loyal and talented man that there would be more and more empresses and concubines in the palace, and that there would only be more and more children of the emperor.”.
At present, the two princes do not have the Sacred Heart, in the future, will only become more and more inconspicuous. If we do not take action
now, we will regret it in the future. It’s better to go for it than to live
in the palace and waste all your previous efforts. What do the loyal and talented people say? The
loyal and talented person was reluctant at first, but later, the alchemist said that she was not as loyal as Xiaomao. Xiaomao has now been promoted to the Qiankun Hall, and she is always thinking about Baiyue and Wang Ye. If she refuses, Xiaomao can also.. Loyal and talented people will agree.
Nan nodded.
Linger’s eyes were clear and bright in the snowy night. “Empress, the maidservant feels that the way the loyal and talented man looks at the alchemist is very different from the way he looks at others. It’s like..” Just like the jujube cake made Imperial Kitchen on New Year’s Day, it is sweet and sticky.
Nan looked up at the sky outside. There is no moon
tonight, and it is dark.
They hit the south wall with one heart. The day of
closing the net is getting closer and closer. At the end of the twelfth
month of the lunar year, the treasury counted the property, the ministries calculated the accounts of the whole year, and the emperor’s son-in-law Zhang Xun came back from Guangdong and Guangxi to state the details of the implementation of the new policy, and the emperor became busier and busier.
Twenty-nine, in the third watch, the emperor read the memorial in Shang’s study.
Xiaomao handed over a cup of ginseng soup and said softly, “The emperor has worked hard. Drink a cup of ginseng soup to nourish your body.”. As soon as
the emperor took over, the little Chamberlain of the Wanxin Courtyard asked in a panic, “The emperor, it’s not good, it’s not good..” The emperor put down his cup of soup and asked, “What’s the matter, Haosheng?”? The
two princes have a high fever, and they are afraid.. Fear of.. The little Chamberlain kowtowed, his face full of panic and tears streaming down his face. “The loyal and talented man said,” Please go and see the second prince. Maybe.. Maybe it’s the last time.. The emperor got up and hurried out.
The boat hurried to follow.
Xiaomao thought about it and followed him. The east side hall
of Wanxin Courtyard was dark.
Zhennan general family back to the capital, Wan imperial concubine please return to Ning, so the east side hall tonight no one. In the
west side hall, the figure swayed and the lamp flickered, as if to lick all the uneasiness between heaven and earth.
Cheng Hao walked into the inner hall.
Zhongcai sat on the bed with his child in his arms, his eyes red and swollen.
The wind blew the door shut.
Cheng Hao opened his mouth and said, “What’s wrong with you?”? Has
the medical officer come to see it?
“The loyal and talented man mourned,” I’ve seen it, but they all say it’s useless.. Your Majesty, come and have a look, have a look at your son for the last time. Cheng Hao approached step by step. The baby
in swaddling clothes looked at him with wide eyes and showed no sign of illness.
A dagger whooshed at Cheng Hao. The woman sitting on the
bed suddenly changed her face. She was no longer a little woman with low eyebrows in the harem, but a female killer with vigorous posture.
Cheng Hao seemed to have been on guard and grabbed her hand with a knife.
Cheng Hao learned literature at the age of three, martial arts at the age of four, and formed Yu Lin Lang at the age of six. His kung fu was three points better than Kong Liang’s.
However, as the son of heaven, he rarely revealed, so many people do not know.
Xiao Chan’s hand was tightly grasped by Cheng Hao, unable to move.
At this time, seven men in black fell from the beam, all armed with lethal weapons, swift and violent, a quick decision.
Cheng Hao said coldly, The assassination of the Son of Heaven will destroy all the nine clans. The
leader, who was dressed in black, shouted a sentence in the language of the barbarians.
Seven men in black surrounded Cheng Hao.
They don’t want to fight for a long time, they just want Cheng Hao to die quickly. Inside
the Yanming Hall, Kong Lingyan lies on the couch.
A group of killers came quietly and tore up the quiet night. The little Chamberlain
outside the door rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned. Suddenly, he saw someone rushing into the temple with a knife. He was not sleepy at all. Before he opened his mouth, he was hacked to death by the black-clad killer.
Hot blood, splashed in the snow, shocking. The drowsy
palace people woke up in an instant and screamed.
The black-clad killer slashed with a knife and walked straight into the hall.
Their goal was clear: to kill the prince.
Kong Lingyan got up from his bed and saw that the hall was covered with the blood of corpses. His face was pale and he shouted, “Son!”! “Son!” At this chaotic moment, the head of the Yanming Hall, Zhi He, looked at the young face of the prince, thinking that even if he died tonight, he could protect the baby for a moment, that is, a moment.
She took the prince out of the swaddling clothes, stuffed him under the bed, and then stuffed a pillow into the swaddling clothes.
She hid in the corner with the swaddling clothes and covered them tightly under her body. The
killer was soon found.
Zhi he watched them get closer and closer, watching their knives raised high.
She was pushed away by the man in black, and the knife cut on the swaddling clothes. The man in
black realized that he had been taken in and angrily cut Zhi He.
Zhi He closes her eyes.
The knife did not fall, and she heard a sound of strong footsteps. When I opened my eyes
again, I saw the figure of Kong Liang.
Kong Liang did not know when he rushed in with a group of imperial guards and fought with the group of men in black.
Zhi He stumbled to the side of Kong Lingyan, who was frightened and his eyes were frozen. “Don’t be afraid, Empress,” said
Zhi He. “Lord Kong is coming.
“Kong Lingyan came to his senses and sobbed,” Zhi He, where is your son?
“” You can rest assured.
The prince is all right. The last man in black in the
hall fell, and Kong Liang ran to his sister.
Kong Lingyan threw himself into his brother’s arms and said, “Brother, aren’t you taking a rest today?”?
How to be in the palace.
Zhi He carried the prince out from under the bed.
The child was still asleep and had no idea how dangerous it was tonight. “This is the work of the emperor,” said
Kong Liang. It’s a long
story.
Ling Yan, it’s good that you and your son are all right. There was a smell of blood in the
palace.
Wanxin courtyard. In the east side hall, which
was originally dark, the lights suddenly came on.
Wan Fei with a group of soldiers, rushed to the west side of the hall. When
the door opened, the soldiers met and fought together.
The loyal man was quite surprised: “You!”! Didn’t you go back to your mother’s home?
“Concubine Wan sneered,” If you make trouble, won’t you allow this palace to do anything?
The loyal man looked at the door. She was waiting for reinforcements.
According to the plan, at this time, Yu should come with a group of Baiyue top killers.
Why not now?
Concubine Wan smiled. “What’s the matter?”?
Waiting for your lover? I’m afraid
he can’t come.
Cheng Hao’s arm had just been cut by the man in black, and blood was trickling down.
He told the group of soldiers, “Keep them alive and take a statement.”.
“” Yes. “
The emperor, the second prince..” Cheng Hao said coldly, “The second prince has a high fever and is already dead.”.
“” Yes.
“Concubine Wan stepped forward and asked with concern,” Your Majesty, what’s the matter with you?
My concubine, go and call the medical officer to bandage you. Cheng Hao waved his hand and said, “No need.”.
He strode out the door. Concu
bine Wan shouted, “Your Majesty, where are you going?”?
Cheng Hao did not answer.
He walked forward subconsciously and went to the Phoenix Hall.
The middle palace is dark.
No, the queen is afraid of the dark.
As usual, when he did not come, the Phoenix Hall was brightly lit every night. Why are there no lights
tonight?
Could it be that the queen has had an accident?
Cheng Hao’s breathing is getting heavier and heavier.
He pushed open the familiar door.
“Queen,” he called.
No one answered.
“Sister Nan,” his voice swirled with the biting wind in the empty night.
For the first time, he came to the palace, but she was not there.
As usual, the lights here are always waiting for him.
Tonight, everything is cold.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Cheng Hao raised his head, and Anan came in from the outside with a lantern, holding a pile of letters in her hand, followed by a group of people. Where have
you been?
Cheng Hao’s face was calm.
“My concubine has got the correspondence between Yu and King Kang of Baiyue.” Cheng Hao interrupted her: Why did you act without authorization?
“My concubine has already put the Miller in place, thinking..” Cheng Hao walked into the hall. He
seemed so tired that he lay down on the couch.
Frost is cold and dew is heavy.
The candle is yellow.
