The incident of King Runan's beating of Yan Guan finally came to an end, but in Zhou Dynasty, which always respected Yan Guan, the controversy over this incident was finally settled. www. Although he hastily apologized, because of this hasty, the civil servants
Privately, he was still indignant. King Runan would naturally not pay attention to it and disdain to pay attention to it. The matter of Prince Ce and Jin Feng Di Ji was even more colorful and lively and luxurious. Princess Qinren couldn't stand it.
He complained privately: "Even if the emperor's concubine marries and canonizes the princess, there is no such lively ceremony. It is really too much." Although Xuan Ling did not say anything, he was forced to adopt the title this time to calm the situation.
I felt very unhappy.
I didn't do anything or say much, I just stood by and watched. Xuan Ling was already determined to get rid of King Xuanji of Runan. The seeds had already sprouted and grown, so why should I bother to work harder to encourage them to grow? I remember to water them at the right time.
, just apply some fertilizer.
The King of Runan was naturally so proud of such a glorious and glorious event that he forgot all about it. Under his lax guard, Xuanling used the excuse that the soldiers guarding Zi'ao City on winter nights often took a nap or secretly drank and gambled, so he let my brother
He took charge of the Yulin Army, the emperor's personal bodyguard, and often guarded the palace with the soldiers on cold winter nights. In the eyes of outsiders, this was really a thankless job.
The winter snow has just begun to fall, and the sunlight as thin as cloud shadows warms up, and it is gradually the time for spring flowers to bloom. As if moistened by a continuous spring rain, the willows, greens and peach blossoms in Shanglin Garden are suddenly filled with bees and butterflies.
The entire harem is surrounded by four walls. The days in the palace pass slowly by like water, as calm as an ancient well. The queen presides over the affairs of the harem, and Concubine Murong never leaves the house except for grand festival banquets.
, and I tried my best to play the role of the beloved concubine, sharing Xuan Ling's love and rain with the concubines in the harem.
Judging from the number of bedtime visits recorded by "Tong Shi", I am not the most favored one. Lingrong's gentleness, humility and carefulness seem to be more popular with Xuan Ling, and her soaring singing voice has become the most beautiful decoration of the spring night in the harem.
The melody. And I just have more time to stay in the imperial study, chatting with Xuan Ling in a timely manner when he is tired of state affairs, and calming down his weariness without revealing anything.
Many times, Xuan Ling likes Ling Rong and I to accompany him together. I quietly read a book or write notes while Ling Rong whispers softly, sings and murmurs a few words from time to time, and serves him.
When we were together, I rarely talked to Lingrong, maybe deep down I still cared about the words I accidentally heard that day. And she always stopped talking and glanced at me quietly, that's all.
In the small Xuan window in March, the willow branches swayed gently in front of the window, and occasionally pink butterflies flew by. The taste of the sun was also peaceful. With a faint smile, I drank the tea in Xuanling
Pour seasoned and moist honey into the mixture and stir gently with a silver spoon.
Lingrong sat far away under the north window, lowering his head to embroider a brocade sachet, and occasionally whispered a few words to Xuan Ling. In the quiet room of the Nuan Pavilion, he could vaguely hear the soft chirping of swallows and Xuan Ling's hand turning the pages of the book.
The fragile sound. The mausoleum's slightly bent profile is beautiful, and the slender neck has a gentle curvature like a bow. Reflecting the blooming green peach blossoms like red clouds under the window, it looks a little thin, but this thinness complements her weakness and lowliness.
Her graceful voice was as clear as spring water, and even the lake-blue Bada halo spring brocade dress on her body had a charming and subtle charm.
After a while, Ling Rong stood up and said with a smile: "I have newly embroidered a sachet and want to give it to the emperor. Does the emperor like it after seeing it?"
Xuan Ling was leaning on the bench reading a volume of "Spring and Autumn". Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the sachet in her hand embroidered with peach and magpie, and said: "Huan Huan embroidered a sachet for me a few days ago. I have already
It’s already worn on me, and using another one will be a burden.” He raised his eyebrows slightly and gave me a knowing smile.
I focused on the tea cup in my hand, and looked back and smiled at him, but his closeness made me a little unfamiliar. Turning my eyes slightly, I caught a glimpse of Lingrong's slightly absent-minded look. I naturally understood in my heart that her embroidery
Gong Jingxing is superior to me. After I accompanied Xuan Ling again, I quickly discovered that the small accessories Xuan Ling wore, such as fan pendants and sachets, were all made by Ling Rong. It can be seen that
She was deeply favored that day.
However, Xuan Ling saw her attentive but slightly disappointed look, and then smiled and said: "But I also like this one very much, so just ask Fangruo to put it in my bedroom."
Lingrong smiled and said softly: "I am clumsy. I am very satisfied that the emperor does not dislike me." Lingrong's eyes fell on the golden dragon and purple cloud sachet worn on Xuan Ling's waist.
It was the one I embroidered by hand. There was admiration in her eyes, and she said: "Sister Wan's craftsmanship is really good, and it suits the Emperor's temperament, but the one I embroidered is too petty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Then you have to bow down.
Xuan Ling hurriedly raised his hand to support her, and said gently with a smile: "There is nothing petty about this. I understand your intentions, so why should you blame me?"
"Sister." Lingrong called me back, with a gentle and peaceful expression, "Sister's embroidery skills are getting better and better. It would be better to embroider a mandarin duck sachet to express the affection of my daughter's family, and the emperor will definitely like it more."
I brought the tea, stood beside Xuan Ling Yingying, looked at him with a smile and said: "Mandarin ducks are good, but the emperor wears them day and night and goes out everywhere, so it is inevitable that there will be some affection between his sons and daughters. It would be more impressive to wear them with dragons.
Wei. As for the mandarin duck sachet..." I smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "How about I embroider another one and give it to Shiro to put under his pillow?"
I haven't called him "Shiro" for a long time. It came out so naturally but suddenly, and the wanton intimacy in the words could not be concealed. The smile and joy in his eyebrows were even stronger, and he couldn't help but stare at me, his eyes gentle.
I was also shocked. In the past, the old name of Yan Wan was unexpectedly called out in this way. Do I still have such an unspeakable and hard-to-die feeling for him in the bottom of my heart?
Although he was surprised and surprised, looking back at his expression, he was filled with joy and shame. Unconsciously, his cheeks were scalded and turned into an apricot-like blush.
Lingrong was a little startled when she saw the expressions on Xuan Ling and I's face, but she quickly covered her lips with silk and said with a brisk smile: "The love between the Emperor and Sister Wan is really a good story." She looked at me,
There was a hint of sincere sadness and desperation in her eyes, and she said: "Sister Wan is such a blessing, no one else can ask for it."
When she said this, I felt a little crazy. Is this kind of attitude with Xuan Ling a sign of love and blessing? So in this love, he and I each have a certain amount of infatuation and a certain amount of sincerity.
? It was just a moment of wishful thinking. He had already changed his expression, pushed Xuan Ling's arm, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please go and persuade me to make peace. Sister An seems to be jealous."
Lingrong's face turned red, and he stamped his feet and said softly: "Sister Wan is teasing me again. How can I be jealous of my sister and the emperor? I don't want to pay attention to you."
Xuan Ling just looked at it with a smile and joy. When he saw what she said, he took her hand and said: "That's it, that's it. Rong'er has the most humble temperament. Even if he is jealous, it is jealousy that has only been brewed for a month. He won't do it."
sour."
What he said was so funny that Lingrong and I couldn't help laughing. During the conversation and laughter, all the barriers and unhappiness were temporarily covered up in a vague way.
In mid-March, Xuan Ling wanted to let my brother join the Ministry of War. We discussed it several times in the morning. Although King Runan was unhappy, Murong and his party also strongly opposed it. However, my brother was still appointed as the official of the Ministry of War at Xuan Ling's insistence.
The fifth-rank governor is given to Shizhong, who also serves as the general of the country.
Although the rank of the governor is not high, he has quite a lot of power. The affairs assigned by the emperor to each government office will be written off every five days by the six departments. If there is delay or incompetence, the governor of the six departments can report to the governor.
The emperor reported that he could also participate in the transfer of officials and the emperor's royal affairs. Therefore, his brother's appointment to the Ministry of War must have made King Runan very wary.
Because of this matter, I feel very worried for my brother. The Ministry of War is right under the nose of King Runan, and most of them are his confidants. Xuan Ling's move will undoubtedly make my brother go deep into the tiger's den. If one of them is not good, just
I'm afraid that I don't even know how I lost my life, not to mention that my brother is responsible for monitoring the behavior of King Runan. Since they have been warned, how can they find out the hidden things of King Runan and his party? Not only is it useless
And when they return, they will startle the snake and injure themselves.
After my brother was in the Ministry of War, he was careful in his words and deeds every day, just to keep himself safe. However, King Runan and the three fathers and sons of the Murong family were both in the Ministry of War, and Murong Shilan and I were mortal enemies in the harem. How could they relax even a little bit?
This gave my brother an opportunity to take advantage of me. My brother and I were both inside and outside the palace walls, but we were both at a loss to do anything.
And if the elder brother cannot succeed, then the throne that Xuan Ling is currently sitting on will be occupied by King Runan one day. Although the country has not changed its surname, King Runan is narrow-minded, war-loving by nature, and loves great achievements.
, if he controls the world, the people of Li will suffer from the chaos of war and never have peace for a day. The prosperous age created by the late emperor will also fall apart due to the chaos of war.
For this matter, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make King Runan lower his guard and guard against his brother.
At this time, a happy news came to the family - my sister-in-law, Mrs.
, please ask your sister-in-law to come to the palace to gather on a certain day.
On this day, my sister-in-law came to the palace to pay her respects.
When I saw her, my face was also filled with joy. I stopped her from saluting. I helped her with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law is now the most valuable member of my Zhen family. I can't accept this gift from my sister-in-law."
The sister-in-law's face was rosy, and she looked shy and contented with joy. She was sitting on a soft cushion, with her lower abdomen slightly protruding and her body slightly tilted, in an extremely natural posture to protect her unborn child.
Such a familiar posture pricked my heart in an instant, arousing the hidden heartache and pain deep in my heart. It was just a year ago, in the same happy reunion, that I was filled with the joy and pride of being a new mother.
, using such a careful and steady posture to protect the little life growing in my belly.
I couldn't let my sadness affect my sister-in-law's joy, so I suppressed my sadness and said with a smile: "Looking at my sister-in-law's figure, she should be three months old."
The sister-in-law's cheeks and forehead were slightly plump and crimson. She lowered her head and fiddled with her belt, and said with a smile: "My wife has good eyesight. It is indeed three months." The sister-in-law paused for a moment, and then said uneasily: "It's just that my mother-in-law said that I have a little belly.
Yuan, maybe it’s a girl.”
I consoled me: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Not to mention that my daughter and her parents are caring. If the first child is a girl, it will bloom first and then bear fruit. The second and third children will be boys. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be there."
I still find boys annoying." He couldn't help but laugh as he said this.
The sister-in-law's expression showed concern and worry about her natural instinct to have children: "If I keep having children, I wonder if my husband will be angry about it?"
I didn't take it seriously, laughed it off, and said, "Brother is not like that. Although parents hope to have grandchildren, having a daughter is not necessarily bad. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu was the queen, and the whole world sang, 'Don't be happy to have a boy;
"Don't be sad, daughter, only Wei Zifu dominates the world." It can be seen that if you give birth to a good daughter, she will be better than ten thousand mediocre men."
The sister-in-law was a little happy when she heard this, and said shyly: "I don't have anything, I just hope that my husband will love the child equally regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl."
I sighed: "Every woman in the palace hopes to give birth to a son who can be relied upon for life, who will have someone to rely on when she grows old, and who can be the queen mother in case of any eventuality. But seeing the concubine die after having a son, it would be better to give birth.
My daughter's concubine Xin Gui and Cao Jieyu arrived safely and safely. But I don't even have a daughter at the moment, so the honor and favor in the eyes of outsiders are just like duckweeds without roots."
Seeing my sad words, my sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is still young, and life is long gone. With the Emperor's favor, are you still afraid of having a child? Just relax, Your Majesty."
I nodded slightly and said, "Then just relax, sister-in-law."
Although she said this, her sister-in-law's frown did not open, and she hesitated to express her real thoughts: "It's just that if I have no children for a long time, I don't know if my father-in-law and mother-in-law will let my husband take a concubine." She was silent for a moment.
, and added: "My husband is always depressed these days, and I don't dare to say this to him casually."
My sister-in-law’s words were originally her own worries, but in my days of thinking, they stirred up my thoughts like clouds turning to reveal the sun, and I couldn’t help but feel enlightened. So I said to my sister-in-law: “Brother is a passionate person, if he really wants to do something for reproduction.
Taking a concubine as an heir will definitely not shake my sister-in-law's status as the head wife, so she doesn't need to worry too much. At most, if there is any dissatisfaction in the future, I will make the decision for my sister-in-law."
She had a happy look on her face and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm not blindly jealous and unreasonable, but as a woman, I always hope that my husband will only like me and not take concubines."
My heart was struck hard by these words like a string. It was just for me. Keeping such thoughts in my heart was just asking for trouble. Why should I think about it any more? I just ignored it, smiled and brushed it off, and then
Said: "Sister-in-law, do you know why my brother is so unhappy?"
The sister-in-law thought for a while and said: "It must be a matter of the Ministry of War. My husband seems unhappy with the emperor's promotion this time. It's just that I am a womanly person, so I can't help with anything."
I smiled slightly, ordered Jin Xi to close the door, and then said: "Brother is indeed unhappy about the Ministry of War, but it is not because of the emperor's promotion, but because he is worried that he will not be able to fulfill the emperor's will. In fact, there is no need for my sister-in-law to belittle herself, as long as she is willing,
You can help your brother achieve great success."
When the sister-in-law heard this, her face lit up with joy, and she said solemnly: "As long as it can make your husband frown, I am willing to be shattered to pieces."
I was extremely impressed by my sister-in-law's deep affection for my brother. I felt warm in my heart. I held my sister-in-law's hand and said, "I am really lucky to have such a virtuous wife as my sister-in-law. My brother has a wife like this, which is rare for him in his life."
Our blessing is also our blessing, so how can we ask my sister-in-law to be shattered to pieces? As long as she is like this..." So I whispered in my sister-in-law's ear for a long time.
The sister-in-law was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard the end, she was smiling broadly, nodding her head and saying, "What's so difficult about this? I'll do my best."
I smiled and said, "It's really not difficult. As long as the love is true, you can do what you want. Sister-in-law, I'd like to thank you in advance."
