The white wax weeps, and the fine and flexible strokes outline a line of exquisite regular script, which reads: I pray for the sin of internal disharmony.
The tip of the pen paused, and the cries of his children seemed to linger in his ears. Hu Shizi used hard force between his fingers, and his strokes were unstable, which damaged the ink, and the entire folder was ruined. Hu Shizi roared and dropped the pen and ink on the desk,
The sound of crackling on the ground was heard outside, and the servants trembled, but they didn't dare to go in without hearing the order.
The moonlight passed through the snow on the eaves and came in through the window. Prince Hu was sitting in a large and comfortable chair. The stove was blazing next to him. However, there was indescribable anger and resentment in his heart. Perhaps Prince Hu himself was not aware of it.
Arriving lonely.
After a long time, he sighed bitterly, called people in, changed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, took up the pen and wrote a line on the plain white folded page: I pray for the sin of internal disharmony.
As the pen strokes outlined each word, Hu Shizi's heart seemed to be burned by fire, and Huan Li's words kept echoing in his ears——
"If I were a father, I would have to apologize for my mistake in trusting the bitch, which led to internal unrest and a serious mistake. By the way, I would also ask the court to deal with it according to the national law and grant the death of the bitch. That would be perfect."
Now, what Prince Hu has written is precisely to appeal for the crime of lax governance of the family, and then to appeal for the crime of mistrusting one's favor, and thirdly to appeal to the state to deal with it, to rectify the law, and to implement complete discipline.
Not only that, the two gentlemen of the family repeatedly requested him to understand that after the morning court, he would have to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to pick up the princess and the eldest son in person.
Even for the sake of fame.
So too.
Yes, even for fame.
Hu Shizi let out a long breath, and the anxiety in his heart had not eased at all. He still suppressed his temper and wrote the seal for tomorrow.
The Third Prince's Mansion.
Probably thinking that the third brother was a good person, sister Yuhua kissed the third brother twice more that night, planning to speed up the process of giving birth to a baby. Mu Anzhi silently calculated in his mind, at first he kissed him twice, and then doubled it to four kisses.
Come on, kiss me six times now, if you continue like this, you won’t have to sleep for the rest of the night.
Fortunately, sister Yuhua still has to sleep.
Every time she breathed in the Yang Qi, sister Yuhua fell asleep without any worries, but Mu Anzhi always felt that there was still a soft and fragrant fragrance lingering at the corner of her lips. The faint fragrance lingered all night long, and Mu Anzhi felt that if it continued like this
Sooner or later you will go crazy.
After breakfast, I sent my third brother out. Li Yuhua wanted to visit Princess Xin'an today, so he did not enter the palace together.
Li Yuhua asked Sushuang to take out two boxes each of the bird's nests and snow clams stored at home, and also prepared some silk and satin cloth. While checking the gifts, Grandma Sun asked, "Where are you going, empress?"
"Yesterday, the third brother asked me to go and see Princess Xin'an," Li Yuhua looked at the supplements brought by Sushuang Suxue. In the past, Li Yuhua had never eaten these. When he came to the imperial capital, he found that everyone used a lot of supplements when going to the imperial capital.
Let the government buy it every month. The imperial doctor said that she had some physical problems when she was a child, so Li Yuhua stewed it every day and ate it with her third brother. She smoothly ordered Yunque, "Put away the newly made plum blossom cake, cloud cake, hazelnut cake, and almond cheese from the kitchen."
A box.”
"Your Majesty," Grandma Sun saw that the gift was good, and winked at Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua asked the maid to step back, and Grandma Sun said, "Your Majesty is going to visit Princess Xin'an. Do you want to go into the palace and ask the Empress Dowager what she wants?
?”
"It's okay. The third brother said that everything about believing in the king is all in the old almanac. The princess has indeed suffered a lot of grievances this time. Let me go and take a look." Li Yuhua rubbed the cloth on the table, which was woven in her family's weaving workshop.
Cloth is the most comfortable lining.
Li Yuhua got along well with Queen Mother Lan, but this did not mean that she wanted to be the Queen Mother's doppelgänger or follow the Queen Mother's footsteps. Li Yuhua had her own ideas. She held Grandma Sun's hand and said affectionately, "Grandma, follow me too."
Let’s go together, Princess Xin’an and I are not familiar with each other, so if we don’t have anything to say when we meet, grandma will warm things up for us.”
Grandma Sun had no choice but to smile.
Li Yuhua discussed with Grandma Sun what kind of clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear. After finishing packing, it was bright and the sun was rising in the east.
Grandma Sun and Li Yuhua were in the same car. Each of them held a small hand stove and looked at the street scene outside. Li Yuhua said, "In my hometown, many people went to the fields to catch rabbits in winter. When it snowed, they made rabbit meat hot pot. Not to mention how delicious it was.
Come on. Mammy, have you ever eaten rabbit hotpot?"
"I have eaten it." Nanny Sun smiled, "In the past, before I entered the palace with the Queen Mother, I often ate rabbit meat pot in winter. At that time, there were not as many fresh vegetables and vegetables as there are now, and there was no such exquisite soup stew.
, but thinking about it, I still feel that the taste was quite satisfying at that time.”
"That's right. I think it's because it's not unusual to have whatever you eat now."
Li Yuhua asked a few more questions about Princess Xin'an, and Grandma Sun said, "I haven't seen the Princess for many years. I don't know what is going on with the Princess."
"I mean temperament."
"Proud temperament."
Li Yuhua thought that this must be a difficult temperament to get along with.
As a result, when he arrived at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, accompanied by Princess Chu to the small courtyard of Princess Xin'an, Li Yuhua saw a young man supporting an old woman with gray hair going out to greet her. The woman was wearing a blue cotton robe with neat hair.
She wears her hair in a bun, and there is nothing prosperous or beautiful about her body. Only the jade-white jade hairpin in her hair can show her past splendor.
Li Yuhua glanced at Nanny Sun without any trace, thinking that Nanny Sun had not seen Princess Xin'an for a long time and had misremembered, right? This princess didn't look arrogant.
The woman was about to salute, but Li Yuhua didn't think too much, walked a few steps forward to support her, and said with a smile, "Princess, please don't be too polite, you are the elder."
Princess Xin'an smiled, "In our royal family, we talk about seniority and inferiority." She wanted to complete the etiquette, but Li Yuhua's support was sincere. Princess Xin'an had no choice but to let Li Yuhua in with a smile, "Your Majesty, please."
Li Yuhua helped her go in together. Princess Xin'an had to ask Li Yuhua to go first. The two of them made concessions, and Li Yuhua helped Princess Xin'an in together.
The yard is not big, and the house is not big either, but everything is exquisite. Li Yuhua swept away the pretentiousness and felt that there was nothing to add. He thought that Chu Shizi and his wife also entertained Xin'an mother and son with their heart. Therefore, they did not make things ostentatious and paid attention to the details.
It's appropriate and comfortable for mother and son to live in.
The three of them sat together on the small kang facing the south window and talked. Grandma Wang brought tea. Huan Li took one and gave it to Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua took it with a smile, "I heard that the third brother said that the eldest son of your family is...
A very filial person, indeed."
Praising your son before meeting your mother is a tried-and-tested communication method in Li Yuhua's life.
As expected, Princess Xin'an smiled happily, "Seeing this child makes me feel that my life is worth it."
After Huan Li finished serving the tea, he bowed to Li Yuhua, Princess Chu, and Princess Xin'an, and said sheepishly, "I will leave first without interrupting your concubine to talk to the elders."
Princess Xin'an nodded, "You go ahead."
Li Yuhua first inquired about Princess Xin'an's body. After knowing that it was nothing serious, he ordered Su Shuang to present the gift list. Li Yuhua smiled and said, "It's just some common food. Princess, please don't be polite to me."
Princess Xin'an sincerely thanked you, thanked you again and again, and was extremely polite.
Li Yuhua held Princess Xin'an's hand and noticed that there was a slight callus on her palm. She couldn't help asking, "Does the princess still have to do any work?"
Princess Xin'an smiled as kindly as an ordinary middle-aged woman. "Not counting the work, I have been living in seclusion these years and believe in Buddhism. In addition to my daily vegetarian diet, I have also opened two pieces of land, one to grow vegetables and one to grow flowers."
. Even the clothes on my body, the maids and ladies, I don’t use them, they are all sewn by me. Every stitch, every stitch, every vegetable, every flower, every grass is all for spiritual practice.”
"Since Princess believes in Buddhism, you can go to Jingxin Temple when you have free time. Master Jing'an there is also a very virtuous person, and I often go there." Li Yuhua touched Princess Xin'an's sleeve and felt
Wearing thick clothes will make you feel at ease.
Princess Xin'an smiled, "Master Jing'an's Buddhist teachings are exquisite and profound. I often ask her for Buddhist teachings."
Since they have common acquaintances, they have a common language. The Princess of Chu also knew about Jingxin Nunnery, so we all talked about the Bodhisattvas in Jingxin Nunnery, especially Guanyin, which is extremely efficacious.
Li Yuhua thought to herself, what's so efficacious? Every time she goes there, she worships very devoutly, and even donated ten taels of sesame oil, but there has been no movement until now!
Anyway, after everyone talks about it, whether they are familiar with it or not, they will become familiar after talking about it.
Li Yuhua was a chatty person, and he would chat casually for half a day. It was approaching noon, and several people were discussing what to have for lunch, when they heard a laugh from outside, "I heard that the third prince's concubine has arrived. I came to pay my respects to the empress."
Li Yuhua immediately jumped off the kang, took a few steps to lift the cotton curtain and walked out. Sure enough, it was the Prince of Chu. The Prince of Chu was of higher generation, and was the same generation as Queen Mother Lan. He was also older. People in their sixties liked to joke the most. Usually in
People in the palace were more serious, but outside the palace they talked more casually. Just when Li Yuhua was about to make a joke, he saw that Prince Chu was not coming alone. There was also a young man in his thirties following him, with a somewhat unfamiliar face. However, standing behind this young man was
It was Huan Li. Li Yuhua smiled and said, "My uncle likes to tease us as juniors. Why do you, old man, come back home now? It's not yet the time to go to the Yamen. Be careful that the imperial censor will give you a copy and deduct your salary."
"Don't be afraid. I've deducted my salary and asked Ayuan to make up for it for me."
Li Yuhua looked at the unfamiliar-looking middle-aged man next to Prince Chu. The man bowed to her, and Prince Chu introduced him, "This is Xin'an County Horse. Is this your first time seeing him?"
Li Yuhua looked past Prince Hu and looked at Huan Li behind Prince Hu. Huan Li was still wearing the same brocade robe as before, without a cloak, and he didn't look like he had been out. It seemed that Prince Hu came from the yamen gate together with Prince Chu.
of.
Compared with his father, Huan Li is considered to be gentle and handsome. However, compared with the old woman appearance of Princess Xin'an, this prince is too young, and they are married.
Li Yuhua was polite and said lightly, "Don't be too polite, sir. There are no outsiders today. Let's come in together."
Princess Xin'an, Princess Chu's concubine, was slower. When she saw Prince Chu, she couldn't help but complain, "What an old guy. He gets more and more arrogant as he gets older. He just came in by himself and even asked our queen to go outside to greet you."
Li Yuhua said with a smile, "I feel close to my uncle as soon as I see him. What's wrong with taking two steps toward him? If my uncle doesn't say anything and the maid doesn't understand, I will feel very sorry."
"I was thinking that there are no outsiders today, so why bother to follow the big set of rules and etiquette? Instead, I was chattering." Everyone was chatting and laughing as they entered the house. The oldest son, Princess Chu, was sitting on the Kang by the window.
Nuan Wen. Li Yuhua, Princess Xin'an, sat horizontally in the chair, Prince Hu took the seat under Li Yuhua, Huan Li took a step back, he did not sit down, he stood beside his mother to serve.
Just coming in from outside, Prince Chu rubbed his hands and told Concubine Chu, "Ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious food at noon. It's rare to be so lively, so let's have a drink together."
"You don't need to tell me, we are all discussing where to eat hot pot at noon. It is warm and suitable for the season." With a smile on her face, Concubine Chu asked hurriedly, "An Li, what kind of food does your father like?"
, I asked the cook to add some."
Huan Li lowered his hand and replied, "Father likes venison."
Hu Shizi immediately answered the question warmly, "We have some good venison in our house. An Li, please run over and get it. Your mother has been a vegetarian these years. I remember the fresh vegetables delivered from Zhuangzi's greenhouse yesterday. How do you like it?"
Bring some for your Uncle Chu and the Princess to try too."
Concubine Chu Shizi smiled, "If An Li wants to go back to your place to get it, I have it all here. I keep it at your house for fear of running out of food."
"It's true that I have taken too much care of my uncle and aunt these days, and it is also my lax management of the family, which has caused her mother and son to suffer such injustice. I am actually an ignorant person with blind eyes and ears. My uncle and aunt are all here, and my mother-in-law also bears witness.
, Princess, it was all my fault in the past years, I apologize to you." Prince Hu stood up and stepped forward, bowing deeply to Princess Xin'an.
This bow, the bow was so sincere that it was almost as if the fists were pressed to the feet.
Prince Chu and Princess Chu both wanted to smooth things over, but there was no smile on Princess Xin'an's face, and her kind eyes gradually became cold until there was no trace of warmth.
The Prince of Chu looked at Huan Li. Huan Li was still standing behind his mother, his eyes were watching his nose, his nose was watching his heart, he was polite and polite, and silence was golden.
Li Yuhua would never speak, and she had no prejudice against Prince Hu. However, she had no favorable impressions of a man who lived a glamorous life and married his wife into an old woman, let alone a man who apologized to his wife in public.
man!
Since you are going to be in public, why don't you just take off your arms and kneel in the courtyard with wattle sticks planted on them. Even if it means to use force to suppress others, at least you are sincere!
Li Yuhua looks down on such people!
Li Yuhua lowered her eyes and held the tea cup. Her eyes wandered to and from the green brick floor under her feet. For a long time, she slowly took a sip of tea.
Concubine Chu glared at her old man. She didn't say anything in advance. It was a mess! Concubine Hu couldn't let her husband hit the wall. She had to cough lightly and tentatively called Princess Xin'an, "Sister?"
The coldness in Princess Xin'an's eyes gradually dissipated. She moved her gaze away from the man in front of her and looked at the floating dust floating up and down in the light beam.
Prince Hu probably thought that she would take this opportunity to make some conditions, so he bowed and apologized in front of everyone, so as to save her from opening her mouth.
There is such a kind of person who, after a long time, gets tired of seeing him and doesn't want to say another word or sentence.
Princess Xin'an said calmly, "I have already written the book. Over the years, I have believed in Buddhism and gradually realized the great truth. Now that I have seen through the world of mortals, I only wish to pledge myself to Buddha, become a monk and practice Buddhism, become pure and white, and end this remaining life."
The expressions of Chu Shizi, his wife, and Hu Shizi all changed greatly, and Li Yuhua was also quite surprised. What she thought was that even if she met a man like Hu Shizi, she didn’t need to become a monk. But then she thought about it, and she knew this from Princess Xin’an’s current appearance.
My mind has gone through many hardships in my life, and now I am on a vegetarian diet. Rather than living with such people, it would be better to become a monk and be quiet.
Hu Shizi's body swayed, he couldn't help it anymore, his heart was racing, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, and there was a sob in his throat, "In the past years, I was all wrong. Xin'an, just look at it
For the sake of my husband and wife these years, and for the sake of An Li, please forgive me this time." As he said this, he actually shed tears.
Princess Xin'an looked at Prince Hu's face, which was still young and unremarkable, with sarcasm and disgust flashing in her eyes, but finally she felt relieved. Princess Xin'an sighed, "I have not refused to forgive you, Hu Yuan."
I just won't live with a man I despise anymore.
"This is my decision." Princess Xin'an said.
If it has weight, it doesn’t need to be more. One sentence is enough.
Li Yuhua looked at Princess Xin'an's calm face. The traces of time and years filled the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, covering up her old youthful beauty. But under the rings cast by time, in these gentle and compassionate eyes, there was
There is such a kind of strong determination that comes from the bottom of my heart.
Li Yuhua somewhat understood why Grandma Sun said that the princess was arrogant.
