I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw a boy of more than ten years old walking this way. I couldn't see his face clearly due to the slanting winter sun, but looking at his figure and Xue Po's words just now, I just felt
I had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the man stopped five steps away from me, bowed his hands and said: "Foreign Minister Zhen Zhiping, pay homage to Emperor Xuepo and Emperor Huaishu. Emperor Ji Changle Jin'an."
I glared at Xue Po with dissatisfaction. She was probably the one who found this person. Isn’t it because she wanted to find me? Xue Po’s face was full of grievances, but it was difficult to confess it in front of such people, so he had to force himself.
He said with a smile: "My cousin, please forgive me, but why are you here? Where is the third brother?"
Zhen Zhiping, who was familiar with Xue Po, was not very polite and said: "I know that the Emperor Ji did not give me any notice, but His Royal Highness King Qinghe was kept by the Emperor and the Queen Mother in Yining Palace. I am afraid that I will not be able to get away for a while, and I will offend him."
My sister was not happy, so she asked me to bring the gift first, but it seems that the emperor is still not happy."
I said angrily: "You", but thinking about my identity, I held it back and turned away and stopped talking. When Xuepo saw this situation, he had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "My cousin is always good at making jokes, I just
I don’t know what kind of treasures Third Brother collected to celebrate Sixth Sister’s birthday.” Zhiping pulled out an exquisite sandalwood incense box from his wide sleeve robe and said calmly: “This year, there are only two boxes from Nanzhao as tribute. Third cousin is special.
I asked for it from the Queen Mother's aunt."
Xue Po took it and took a look, her eyes lit up, she pulled me and said, "Sixth sister, look, it's Mihexiang." I was overjoyed when I heard that, and said hurriedly: "Really? Show me quickly."
Although there is an incense making bureau in the palace, which provides various safe spices to the concubines and emperors, they are all products that ordinary officials can use. The really good ones are specialties brought to the palace from various places. The reason is
Everyone knows that the late emperor's concubine An was very good at treating incense, but with evil intentions, she actually used special incense to harm the fetus of the current Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother lost her first child.
Later, the An family fell, and the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng hated the palace women who were good at making spices. In the Zhengzhang Dynasty, no one dared to touch the Queen Mother's Nilin, so we can only long for the exotic fragrance from outside, not to mention this honey.
The fragrance is faint and tasteless, but it sticks to the collar and lasts for a long time. It is a first-class product. Brother Sanhuang was really surprised to receive such a rare thing as a birthday gift.
We were laughing and playing when we heard someone snort. The sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly from this distance. I turned my face to the side and saw his mocking expression. I received the gift, and my unhappiness was already suppressed.
But seeing him like this, I was even more dissatisfied, and said angrily: "You have finished sending the gifts, why are you still standing there?"
Zhiping became more disdainful and said: "With this extravagant and debauched style, I just mourn for the soldiers of Liangzhou and Bingzhou who fought bloody battles."
I never thought he would say this, and I couldn't think of anything to say to refute, so I muttered: "Liangzhou, Bingzhou,..."
"Exactly." Zhiping's tone became more indignant as he continued: "Due to the surrender and marriage of His Highness Yong'an in the past few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been at peace with Hehe, but Tiele and Boliao are adjacent to the northwest and northeast.
She has always coveted our Central Plains Wuhua Tianbao. Especially in the early years, the Queen Mother always valued peace and refused to let King Pingyang mobilize his troops because of her mistrust of the young country. She taught those barbarians to have wild ambitions and constantly harassed and plundered our borders. The people suffered.
It’s unspeakable. And many of the soldiers guarding the border have corpses wrapped in horse leather. Di Ji’s box of small incense costs a lot of money, but do you know how many spear-faced knives can be made? No matter how good this incense is, I wonder if it can last for a hundred days? Di Ji
Will Ji You think of the people in Yanbian who have insufficient food and clothing?"
Xue Po listened to his harsh words, and finally frowned and said: "Cousin, you are too." I pressed her hand to signal a pause, stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Young Master's remarks are really eye-opening to me.
, but I am a woman with limited knowledge in the boudoir. I am not as good as you, the son of a general, who lives in a wealthy palace, but can see thousands of miles away. You are well-dressed and well-fed, but your heart is full of cold and hungry people. It doesn’t hurt or itch.
A three-year-old child can already say a few words of emotion at any time. For example, Huo Qubing kept saying, "The Huns are not destroyed, so why do we have a home?" However, his dead soldiers built a stadium for fun. Uh, no, I was wrong. Although Huo Qubing was a private person,
I feel ashamed, that is also the achievement of sweeping across Mobei and Qilian Leshi, which is incomparable to the young master who has never entered the military camp."
I said it all in one breath. Xue Po and Zhen Zhiping were both stunned for a moment. I usually speak cautiously. If he hadn't told me that I was here today, I wouldn't have felt so unhappy these days.
Let it all out.
Seeing that my face was broken, I continued to talk, and continued: "Although Huaishu is a woman, she has learned the books of sages since she was a child, and knows that a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. A general does not seek to learn from the princes and protect them.
An Ning is a man of great wisdom and courage. From afar, there are flying generals who do not teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountains. In this dynasty, there are also Fuyuan generals from Nanping Baiyi who do not kill civilians, and Jizhou, who is a prince-in-law and spends his life stationed at the border fortress.
Grand Governor Chen Shun. Since the young master keeps saying that he wants to serve the country, why don't he guard the frontiers like the Prince of Pingyang? Instead, he followed his mother and grandmother to and from the palace to see the extravagance of us women in the palace. You don't have to use this honey together.
Xiang, if you donate the money here, it will be worthy of the hard work of the border people. Do you know how the young master will face the soldiers who are wrapped in horse leather and conquer the husband?"
Suddenly, there was a burst of high-fives in the distance, and someone said loudly, "Well, brother, this little box of incense has introduced everyone to a strange woman."
When Xue Po heard this, his face lit up with joy, but he still took two steps forward and said coquettishly: "The third brother is here, and they are having a huge quarrel. I really can't stop him."
Wang Yuhan of Qinghe smiled when he heard this and did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhen Zhiping and me with interest. Perhaps it was because he was meeting the imperial brother. He was not wearing the usual casual Yuebai Luo shirt today.
The lake-blue Prince Yan's uniform made him look as heroic as a god. He seemed to be surrounded by a halo when he walked from a distance. If it were normal, I would have been fascinated by it, but now I can't care.
.I just said it happily. Now that I think about it, not only is it suspected of mocking the Queen Mother's mother's family, but she also wants to sell the birthday gift from her brother.
, so he had to speak first: "Good brother, please don't be angry with me."
Yu Han smiled and said: "You should be angry, but since it's your birthday today, I don't have to. I'm just curious. You usually drink it as warmly as boiled water. Why did you meet Zhi Ping?
It will become a little cat with fried hair, and I will have to give you a scratch on my paw."
I also relied on Brother Sanhuang's good temper and how much he dotes on me on weekdays. I thought that he had said to spare me anyway, so I said: "My sister is just repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with kindness.
