"A Ling, you are here, nothing will change."
To Qin Jie, this sentence was like forcibly tearing open a healed scar and adding a pinch of salt.
Qin Xue was a little annoyed by this feeling of empathy, and annoyed that this long-forgotten old thing had to be relived in such a strange way.
When Qin Jie looked back at herself at that time, she couldn't help but sighed innocently.
Whatever he said, she believed.
But what the emperor said would not change, and what she thought was different from the beginning.
She didn't know why he thought about waiting for three years in the dream, she only knew that not long after the ceremony, Li Yuan was favored, and even the bite marks on his body landed on the exact same place as hers.
Thinking of this, Qin Xie held her breath and sat up.
Still thinking about these.
If it wasn't for Yun'er, how could she enter this palace again.
To this day, the one between them is no longer a Li Yuan.
Qin Xie rubbed the corner of her mouth, hung up a standard smile, looked back at him, and was about to greet him as usual, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with this person.
Xiao Yu frowned and covered his chest, taking a deep breath.
Qin Yan said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yu sat up and opened his eyes slowly, only to see Qin Jie's concerned face, and said softly: "Your Majesty is not feeling well? Do you want your concubine to call the imperial physician?"
"No need." Xiao Yu stared blankly at the person in front of him and said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while."
After speaking, Xiao Yu pressed his fist to his lips and coughed twice.
Qin Jie hurriedly put down his shoes, poured him a glass of water, and said, "Then, Your Majesty, have a drink."
Xiao Yu took the cup, nodded and looked at the reflection in the cup, suddenly feeling that the previous trials were meaningless.
With her temperament, if she remembered everything, how could it be like this.
She should have settled with him long ago.
Seeing Qin Xie's obedient appearance, Xiao Yu couldn't help but secretly said, she still has a good temper, and now this temperament, coupled with the lack of identity, may be bullied and won't speak.
Xiao Yu took a long time to get up before he got up, Qin Yan raised his head to tidy up his clothes, and vaguely, he could still hear Xiao Yun whispering outside the door: "Mother, are you okay? Are you okay?"
"The eldest prince will wait."
Qin Jie couldn't help but look at the prestige, and then said with Xiao Yu, "It's still early today, Your Majesty might as well have breakfast before leaving."
Xiao Yu took her hand and said ok.
The three sat at the table for a meal.
Qin Xun not only had to help Xiao Yun with the dishes, but also wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. The little prince was extraordinarily obedient in her hands.
The warm sun of early spring shone on them through the branch picking window, and everything in front of them was as beautiful as a picture scroll.
The emperor's stern eyebrows couldn't help but smile.
After breakfast, Xiao Yu left Jingren Palace, and when he got up, Sheng Gong said: "Your Majesty, Princess Changning has sent someone back to report that she will be back from Mount Li in the next two days."
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark and unclear, and he said softly, that's fine.
—
As soon as Princess Changning returned to the palace, the Queen Mother held a flower viewing banquet.
There has been no banquet in the palace for a long time, and it was rare for the queen mother to speak.
The spring breeze is coming, and the road is full of flowers, and the female relatives walk into the Cining Garden chatting and laughing.
Said to be a flower viewing banquet, Eunuch Zhang was very pleased with the Empress Dowager Bo, and even set up a stage in the Cining Garden.
On the left side of the queen mother sat Princess Changning and Concubine Liu, and on the right side was Qin Wei, who was holding the little prince, and the eldest lady of the Chu family.
Right now, a little boy was stepping on the rope on the stage, and when he reached the middle, he turned somersaults, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but caressed her heart.
She beckoned, and Zhang Gonggong came over and said, "What is the Queen Mother's order?"
The queen mother said: "These jugglers will each be rewarded with two taels of silver."
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "The slave will explain it."
After watching these acrobatic skills, Eunuch Zhang also prepared a recent famous play outside the palace - "Spring River Banquet"
The Spring River Banquet is a story of blind dates in early spring.
I saw the female performer dressed in wedding clothes, lightly clad the sandalwood board, and slowly lifted the veil. Following the bursts of muffled noises, her dancing sleeves lingered, and she whispered a few words that her daughter's family was looking forward to when she got married.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed as a matchmaker appeared and answered loudly, "Miss!"
According to the wedding custom of Da Zhou, spring day has always been the busiest time for matchmakers, and now both Beijing and China are discussing marriage.
Seeing this scene, the Chu family's wife said slowly: "After watching this play, the court lady suddenly thought of Liu Lang, which is really worrying."
The Empress Dowager Chu smiled and said, "Didn't Liu Lang just become a jinshi? Where did he provoke you?"
Chu Jiangya, the sixth son of the Chu family, is also this year's Tanhua Lang.
"Seeing that there are three out of 20 people, they don't get married." Mrs. Chu family said: "Can the wife of the minister not worry about it?"
The Empress Dowager Chu teased: "According to this, Aijia is also very worried."
Mrs. Chu family echoed: "What is the empress dowager worried about?"
The Empress Dowager Chu raised her hand and tapped the tip of Princess Changning's nose, "Who else could it be, not this girl."
Princess Changning turned sideways and said softly, "Where did Changning offend you?"
The Empress Dowager Chu snorted softly: "You will live in Lishan for three years. If the Aijia sent people to invite you over and over again, the princess would not know how many years she would live on the mountain!"
"But isn't Changning back?"
The Empress Dowager Chu said earnestly: "Changning, you are also nineteen, and it will be two decades before the end of the year. This marriage event should also be settled."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Xie tilted her head and glanced at Princess Changning.
In fact, the little princess has lost a lot of weight in the past.
Qin Wei still remembered that she used to have a royal sister-in-law, and inquired about Su Huaian's "details" in Kunning Palace.
Chang Ning's eyes froze, and he said, "Empress mother, you know Chang Ning's body, it's really..."
"You just came back, so don't be in a hurry to get married, just choose the concubine first." Empress Dowager Chu said again: "Before the emperor left, he was still thinking about your life-long events, and the Aijia always kept it in mind, how about you? "
Everyone in the palace is a human being, and everyone can tell that the Empress Dowager Chu deliberately used the late emperor to oppress people.
But what about knowing it intentionally
There is nothing more than filial piety in the journey of a person. With such a hat on, Princess Changning can only nod her head even if she doesn't want to marry.
"Changning dare not forget."
"Changning, the queen mother will definitely choose a concubine that suits your heart." The queen mother Chu smiled.
Princess Changning lowered her eyes and said, "On the matter of choosing a concubine, Rong Changning should talk to the royal brother."
Speaking of the emperor, the corners of Empress Chu's eyes stood up.
In recent years, the emperor has suppressed the Chu family everywhere. Everyone knows that the empress dowager does not deal with the emperor, but because of filial piety, it seems to be the past.
Now that the princess said this, it was tantamount to hitting the queen mother in the face in front of everyone.
I saw the sound not too lightly or not.
The Queen Mother Chu said: "Changning, you have something to say to your mother, but there is someone in your heart?"
The princess has someone in her heart, and these words can't help but cause people to think deeply.
How much the little princess liked Su Huai'an back then, there was nothing in Manjing that she didn't know. Princess Changning went to Dali Temple all day to besiege and block, so that the marriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was in vain.
As for Su Huai'an, Mr. Su, who does not show his sharp edge, always happens to be caught by the little princess.
The princess of Tianjia and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this little affair, is talked about in and out of the palace.
Even if there is no marriage certificate, Su Huaian is the default concubine.
However, before the imperial decree to bestow the marriage was passed to the Duke of Zhenguo, the battle report from the frontier came back.
Princess Changning said nonchalantly: "The mother is joking, Changning has lived on the mountain for so long because of a serious illness, how could he have those thoughts."
The Queen Mother Chu said: "Okay, let's not talk about you, let's watch the play."
The music of the zheng is endless, and this blind date has not been finished yet.
Mrs. Xue and Xue Lanyi said, "Speaking of this blind date, I have something I want to talk about with my mother."
Xue Lanyi rubbed her temples and said, "Sister-in-law, just say so."
"Recently, the Jiang family is talking for his little son, and it is said that our Xue family is here."
Xue Lanyi said, "Jiang? Which Jiang?"
Madam Xue said, "It's Jiang Wu, the son of Jiang Chengyuan, the servant of the household."
"Oh." Xue Lanyi said, "What did my brother say, do you want this marriage?"
Mrs. Xue said helplessly: "The fifth and sixth girls have not yet left the cabinet. The Jiang family is precious and has the emperor's heart. This marriage is also reasonable, but who would have guessed that the young son of the Jiang family would find the wrong person."
Xue Lanyi frowned and said, "What do you mean by finding the wrong person?"
Mrs. Xue said: "He insisted that our Xue family has a girl who spent eight hundred and two tricks to buy her home. She said it with nose and eyes, but I went back and asked, there was nothing at all."
Xue Lanyi said, "Buying actors to go back to the manor? This is not a nice thing to do, but someone is acting in the name of Xue's daughter outside?"
Madam Xue said, "I think so too."
Xue Lanyi said, "When did it happen?"
Madam Xue said, "It seems like... last August."
That is, before the draft.
