When the news of Chen Guoxin's emperor Di Xiao committed suicide reached the capital of Qi State, it was already the beginning of May in the eighteenth year of Zhengyu.
Yao Yanyan took the abacus and Zhou Zhou to walk in the most prosperous East City in Beijing.
The two little guys rarely have the opportunity to leave the palace and play outside. Once they walked into the East Market, they ran around happily like two wild horses that had taken off their reins.
This is the most lovely age of Yuxue, plus the clothes are rich and noble, and there are two guards behind him, so the vendors on the street are very attentive to them.
Yao Yanyan was wandering around, while paying attention to the two little ones. After walking around the street with an abacus and Zhou Zhou, she turned her feet, hand in hand one by one, and led the two children to the east market. One of the shops, this shop is very large, and it is located in the most prosperous area of East City. It sells valuables such as balsam, cream and essential oil. It has always been favored by Kyoto women, even some cute young men. Will also pay attention.
When Yao Yanyan walked into the shop, there were already several carriages parked on the side of the shop's entrance. Looking at the signs on the carriages, it was obvious that they were from the high gates of Beijing.
This shop was run by Zhou Wanxiang, and now it is in charge of Lan Mengshi. Lan Mengshi is only one year younger than Yao Yanyan, and is now the mother of two children. She was wearing a blue dress embroidered with bluegrass. She happened to come downstairs. Seeing Yao Yanyan, she was taken aback and then smiled. A familiar appearance shouted: "Mrs. Zhu is here, but can you come to the upstairs box?"
There are two floors above this shop, and there are boxes for those noble ladies and ladies. Yao Yanyan shook her head and said, "I'll just watch it below." Then she raised her eyes and swept a few in the shop. eye.
Seeing many women and girls with different clothes picking and choosing in front of the counter, there are too many people in the shop to be too busy with work, Yao Yanyan suddenly smiled.
It's great, she likes to watch the crowds in this store, and she knows that she can make a lot of money at a glance.
Zhou Zhou has reached the age of love and beauty. At this moment, he entered this shop full of powder and balm, and looked around curiously, while Abacus stood aside with lack of interest.
Seeing Zhou Zhou liked it, Yao Yanyan lowered her head and said to her: "Go and see! If you like, pick some and take it home."
Zhou Zhou was clever and weird on weekdays, but at the moment he was very shy and shy. Seeing her mother asked her to pick her, she felt coy, and was happily taken by the maid. Zhou Zhou is gone, Yao Yanyan sees Abacus standing idly, ask Lan Mengshi to take him to the upstairs box, find him some books, she is standing in the lobby, one is watching Zhou Zhou, the other is Take a personal look at what sells best in this shop, and take a look at the fashionable dress of this young girl in Beijing by the way.
Zhou Zhou has grown into a pretty little girl now. It is time to make more bright and beautiful clothes for her. As for the abacus, he can still wear his brother's clothes.
Yao Yanyan used to paint her face more beautifully, but in recent years, her love for cosmetics has become less and less. Except for the banquets she must attend, she hasn't dressed up for a long time. Today, she just goes out and just paints. I closed my eyebrows and applied some mouth fat. And because I have been sitting in the queen’s position for a long time these years, although the days are busy, but her life goes smoothly. Her mentality is much more peaceful than when she was young. Even though her face is still that face, her body reveals a soft charm. She wore a plain pine flower-colored dress, which made her more gentle.
A woman who was as old as her, stepped into the Drunken Fragrant Pavilion at this time.
This Zuixiang Pavilion has always been only people with well-earned families daring to step in. This woman is also richly dressed and splendid, and she is surrounded by two maids behind her.
At the beginning, she just glanced at Yao Yanyan inadvertently, but in the next moment, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes turned back. After seeing Yao Yanyan's face, she had a bit of shock in her eyes, but soon, After discovering that Yao Yanyan was dressed plainly and there were no valuable accessories on her body, the shock slowly disappeared and turned into contempt and pride.
She helped the gold-inlaid jade hairpin on the bun, and stroked the silk clothes embroidered with rich and precious flowers on her body, raised her hand to let the maid beside her hold her, and walked slowly to Yao Yanyan.
"I haven't seen it for many years, I wonder if the second girl Yao is okay these years?" As she approached, she could see that Yao Yanyan's face was still as smooth and delicate as a girl, and her eyes could not help but a little jealousy. However, after discovering that Yao Yanyan was holding the woman's hair bun, the woman showed an inexplicable smile. I thought: Seeing Yao Yanyan's desolate appearance, there is not even a maid by her side, and even a shop clerk who stands here doesn't bother to entertain her. I must have been very shabby these years! How beautiful is it? It's not that you don't get married well!
Glancing at the counter behind Yao Yanyan, the woman couldn't help flashing a bit of pleasure on her face.
Yao Yanyan:...
Who is this
The shop of Zuixiangge is huge, divided into two areas on the left, one on the left, the most expensive batch on the left, and the powdery balm on the right, which is much cheaper.
But Yao Yanyan rarely came to Drunk Xiangge, and she didn't know this. She just stopped at random, watching the crowds in the store, fantasizing about the scene of a large amount of money in the account, and happily, suddenly there was someone walking away. The yin and yang are weird, really annoying. This person obviously knew herself, but Yao Yanyan couldn't remember who she was after thinking about it for a long time. At this time, she was very envious of her Majesty's memory.
She has stayed in the palace for too long, and everyone she meets respectfully treats her. Even if she comes out occasionally, the passers-by she meets are mostly polite, and she sneered at the first time she saw her. Face of the person.
Yao Yanyan saw that this young woman was looking at her triumphantly with a face that was barely beautiful, and she was also afraid that she could not see her jewelry and clothes, which made her feel amused. She wanted to change to her youth. She didn’t say a kick at this time, she would slap the woman’s eyes with gold stars, but she is much more peaceful now, and even asked with interest, “I don’t remember, who are you? what?"
Seeing that Yao Yanyan really didn't know herself, the look on the young woman's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. Anyone who has been in front of her former rivals for a long time will not look good when she finds that her rivals don't know herself at all.
But when she thought that she moved to Beijing with her husband now, but Yao Yanyan was so downhearted, she immediately became proud again, she said to Yao Yanyan: "The second girl Yao doesn't remember me? I'm Pei Lu. We were before you left Liuzhou. I'm still a neighbor." For fear that Yao Yanyan would not remember, Pei Lu added, "Two years after you left, my cousin Lu Jia and I were married. Now we have two sons under our knees, and my cousin has also been promoted to Beijing. Officer, life is going well."
Yao Yanyan:...
She held up these two somewhat familiar names, dug in her mind for a long time, and finally unearthed these two people from a long memory.
But before she could react to the person in front of her, there was another person in the drunk incense pavilion, dressed in a scribe, with a beard under the nod, but looking at her eyebrows, she could still distinguish a bit of youthfulness. He was here to look for his wife. When he saw Yao Yanyan who was with Pei Lu, he was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and Pei Lu had obviously noticed her husband's absent-mindedness, and his face was extremely embarrassed. She was clenched, if she hadn't had a quarrel with her husband if she hadn't taken into account the fact that she was in the crowd.
Like Pei Lu, Lu Jia obviously didn't think that Yao Yanyan had forgotten them. At this time, he sighed a little bit: "Have you seen for many years, have you... have a good time these years?"
Yao Yanyan knows her words and expressions. Only from Lu Jia's expression and tone, she knows that this man is still thinking about herself. Looking at the two people in front of her, her mood is a bit complicated.
The current situation can be summarized in one sentence: Back then, Lu Jia, a neighbor who had a crush on Yao Yanyan, married her cousin Pei Lu after Yao Yanyan left Liuzhou. After more than a decade, Pei Lu, who had been promoted to the middle of Beijing with her husband, ran in a jewel-like fashion. Show off in front of Yao Yanyan, the former love rival.
Yao Yanyan glanced at Pei Lu with an ugly expression, and then at Lu Jia, who seemed to have a lot of things to say to her. After the complicated mood, she became a little more subtle. How should I say, in order to completely leave the Yao family, Yao Yanyan did not So much, but at the same time showed a good impression on many well-off men, such as giving away some snacks with a smile. This Lu Jia is one of many spare tires.
It happened that Lu Jia, like other men, felt that he and Yao Yanyan were in love with each other, and he was worried about Yao Yanyan's selection as a show girl.
Lu Jia seemed to have forgotten the wife standing next to him, and said to Yao Yanyan: "You... were you released from the palace? I don't know who you are married to?" As he said, he looked at Yao Yanyan's clothes, there was a look in his eyes. The pity for Yao Yanyan's goosebumps was obviously thinking of going with Pei Lu, and both felt that her life was not good.
Yao Yanyan said: "The two are truly a husband and wife, so they have the same mind."
Seeing that the two were unknown, Yao Yanyan suddenly wanted to roll her eyes, as if she didn't understand what she was saying. But now she is the mother of a country, and she needs to be more dignified and elegant, so Yao Yanyan wanted to leave politely. Unexpectedly, she hadn't spoken yet, Lu Jia said: "Can you move, I have something to say to you."
Yao Yanyan:...
Seeing Lu Jia’s plea, Yao Yanyan remembered that when she was a child, Lu Jia secretly gave her food, so she nodded in the eyes of Pei Lu almost killing her, and walked to the street outside. Standing on the side, said: "Just talk about it here!"
Lu Jia originally had a lot of things to say, but now it’s not as good as what to say, and only said: "You haven't seen it for many years, your temper has improved a lot."
Yao Yanyan thought to herself: No, when I was young, I had already rolled my eyes and left without mercy.
Lu Jia looked at Yao Yanyan's face that seemed to have not changed in more than ten years, and her heart throbbed, as if she was back in her youth, and couldn't help saying: "If you weren't selected as a show girl back then, we have already..."
This is so big-faced, I am embarrassed to say these things if I have a wife and a son. Yao Yanyan wanted to kick him very much, but it was on the street, and the influence was really bad, so she interrupted: "My sons and daughters are still waiting, let's say goodbye." After the conversation, she left without looking back. Into the drunk incense pavilion.
Ignoring Pei Lu, who stared at her, Yao Yanyan waved to Zhou Zhou, and then walked upstairs with Zhou Zhou, who was rushing over.
Pei Lu was a little surprised when she saw this, and the next moment she saw the proprietress of Zuixiangge come out in person and respectfully led Yao Yanyan upstairs, suddenly shocked that her eyes would fall out.
Who doesn't know that this Zuixiangge has a strong background, and who doesn't know that only the high-ranking households in Beijing are eligible to enter the box upstairs. How can Yao Yanyan and He De, how can he get this courtesy
It was only then that she heard the voice of discussion around her.
"Which lady was the one who was led upstairs by Boss Lan? You look really rich."
"Isn't it? The bead hairpin on her head, the bracelet on her hand, the jade pendant with the corners of the robe... They are inconspicuous at first glance, but they are all valuable things. Just take them out and you can buy them. Next to this big shop in East City."
"The beads on the hairpin are purple-gold and very valuable. I have only seen them in the face of my grandma's dowry."
Pei Lu looked at these people who were talking. Several she knew, all of whom were family members of her husband's colleagues. At this time, she realized that it was not Yao Yanyan who was dressed in shabby clothes, but that she did not know the goods and could not recognize them.
Thinking of this, Pei Lu felt so uncomfortable in her heart.
But this has nothing to do with Yao Yanyan. She took Zhou Zhou's hand and walked up to the box on the second floor. When she went in, she saw a person on the small couch under the window. Glancing at Zhou Zhouyi's eyes happily, she felt that this child was too dumbfounded, and Yanyan was entangled by the apprentice and didn't go to help.
Zhou Zhou didn't understand, so he looked up at her mother innocently.
Yao Yanyan asked Lan Mengshi to take Zhou Zhou to another box, walked in, and instantly closed the box door.
She said to her Majesty: "When did you come? Did you see it just now?"
Zhu Qiyu had been here for a while, and when he came, he found that an old man with a beard was looking at Yao Yanyan affectionately. After being angry for a while, he still didn't go forward, but came silently into the box upstairs.
Seeing that he was silent, Yao Yanyan leaned over to face his face and said, "Are you jealous?"
His Majesty turned aside his face and did not look at her, "A six-rank petty official, is it worth my jealousy?"
Yao Yanyan puffed out a laugh, even after she found out the details of her family, she said she was not jealous
Seeing your Majesty's face facing her, she hugged and took a sip.
His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said: "I... I don't want this."
Yao Yanyan hugged him and coaxed: "Well, well, I know that your majesty doesn't want this, it's the concubine's love for himself."
The corners of His Majesty's mouth curled slightly, and he was obviously happy. The couple were getting tired, and the attendant's report came from outside the door, saying that it was a letter from the front.
His Majesty opened the letter and found that the letter was written by Feng Yuan, saying that Di Xun had committed suicide. He had left the army stationed in the prefectures of Chen State, and is now returning to the imperial court with thousands of soldiers and horses.
Seeing this letter, the couple was a little bit overwhelmed. Although I had expected it a long time ago, I still have a dreamlike feeling when I see Chen Guo's subjugation.
In the previous life, they hid in the palace, fearing that Chen Guo would enter Beijing, and were anxious all day long. Unexpectedly, they did not die in the hands of Chen Jun, but died under the sabers of a group of bandits.
In this life, they wanted to seek prosperity and peace, but step by step to the present, they destroyed the country of Chen and ruled the world.
From now on, nothing can really threaten them. The two of them have been restless for two lifetimes, and finally they can completely let go.
Yao Yanyan and His Majesty had imagined such scenes many times. The two felt that they would be so excited that they would pass out, but at this moment, they found that their mood was unexpectedly calm, except for a small surprise at the beginning. Not too happy.
Maybe it's because the two have changed, and neither of them looks like they were when they were young.
Perhaps it is because both of them have understood that the dominance of the world is not the end, but the beginning. In the unclear future, there is still a long, long way waiting for them.
The more you understand, the more you understand how rugged the road ahead...
The more scenery I have seen, the more I understand how rare it is for a person who really likes and loves and trusts each other.
Fortunately, they met each other, and fortunately, no matter whether it was difficult or difficult, or beautiful and ugly, the two were never partly separated.
It's like two trees that were far apart, but longed to get close to each other.
How far away, try to grow and grow, let the roots clenched to each other in the earth, let the elongated branches blend with each other under the clouds...
In June of the eighteenth year of Zhengyu, the State of Qi divided the former State of Chen into three provinces, which were called "Ning, Mu, and He" respectively.
In September of the eighteenth year of Zhengyu, Qi State moved its capital. The new capital was located in the center of the original Qi State, Wu State, and Chen State. It was not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. It was the old capital of the dynasty that once ruled the world. , There is a magnificent imperial city, it has been renovated, and it is more magnificent than the current imperial city of Qi State, which is really a good place.
On the first day of October in the eighteenth year of Zhengyu, the two emperors and empresses, wearing gorgeous black gold-patterned robes and heavy crowns on their heads, took them to the high altar to worship the gods. Then in the civil and military officials, under the witness of thousands of forbidden troops, and no hundreds of people in the periphery, the emperor suddenly turned sideways and raised his hand to the queen deeply.
Unexpectedly, his Majesty would suddenly make such a move, and the courtesy officer on the side was stunned, not knowing how to read it.
The civil and military officials were also very surprised.
In the next moment, the emperor's voice came from far away from the altar. Initially, when this altar was being built, many complicated designs were made in order to allow people below to hear the sound from above. At this time, your Majesty raised his voice so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Thank God, Xie Zhengzhan's soldiers, Xie Zhongzhi's wise ministers... It is the queen who should be most thankful. Without a queen, there would be no me today."
Yao Yanyan stared at her majesty blankly, not knowing what to do, because they hadn't rehearsed such a scene beforehand, but what her majesty said next made her eyes slightly wet, and she almost shed tears.
Standing on this high altar, His Majesty said many things. Starting from their rebirth in this life, he talked about how they were able to get out of the prince through numerous obstacles, how to bring down treacherous officials and thieves, and how to work hard to accumulate them. Money and food, how to dominate the world step by step, so that the surrounding sporadic small countries will be willing to bow their heads. He said so many of his shortcomings, that he was tired, lazy, and impulsive... It was the queen who stayed with him all the time, and every time, when he wanted to retreat and want to escape, the queen was supporting him behind him. , Encourage him, if there is no queen, there would be no him today, and Qi Guo is even less likely to be the brilliant today.
They have walked this part of the road for more than ten years, and many of them have long been blurred and dim in Yao Yanyan's memory, but they have been brightened by her Majesty.
"The queen is the most gentle, gentle, and blue-hearted woman in the world, and the bravest and smartest woman in the world. She taught me how to be compassionate to the people, how to be a father and how to be an emperor. In this life, I have a queen. Accompanying around is enough."
The courtiers didn't understand at first, but after listening to your Majesty's words, they all showed such a look. Some veterans remembered the mediocrity of His Majesty in the past few years, and looked at the queen with deep respect.
If a person is not upright, no matter how they spur and admonish them, it is useless.
At first they had prejudices against the queen because of her overly gorgeous appearance, and they didn't realize until today that it was precisely because of the queen's existence that his Majesty really stood up.
The four characters "Muyi Tianxia" deserved the queen.
Feng Yuan took the lead to raise his hand and give a deep twitch to the queen. Then, all the civil and military officials came back to their senses and gave a deep twitch in the direction of the queen. Sincerely, there is no falsehood.
The words and deeds of the queen over the years have been seen by many courtiers, but they have never been as profound as they are today.
Before today, if your majesty wants to abolish the queen, they may persuade them, but they will never insist on it, but after today, if your majesty wants to abolish the queen, I'm afraid that some old ministers will die. If you don't even want such an outstanding queen, your majesty will be burnt out.
Of course, after your majesty abolishes this matter, it will never become a reality.
Those who were close could vaguely see the warmth surging when the emperor looked at each other, and only felt that his old face was going to be blushing.
Yao Yanyan didn't notice the others around her. There were tears in her eyes, but a big smile appeared on her face. She raised her hand and gave her a deep bow and said, "Your Majesty, I should thank you too. Nothing. Your Majesty, there is no me today."
She used to be arrogant and vain, always speculating about others with the greatest malice. Once she finds that someone wants to harm her interests, she will dormant and behave when she is incapable. Once she has the ability, she will definitely suppress the other party mercilessly. Go down, there is no room for sand in your eyes.
She used to be greedy for life and fear of death, heartless, knowing that her Majesty is in danger, but packing up her things only to escape, she only cares about her own life, and never cares about the life and death of others.
But after meeting your Majesty, she gradually changed. When she didn't even notice her, she became gentle and peaceful. She also accepted Jingchai's sarong. She was very concerned about the glory, wealth and splendor. She gradually looked down on her clothes. Before she knew it, she became more lenient with others. She can consider others more in the face of things. Seeing the people with ragged clothes on the street, she will also have pity and sympathy; when your majesty is in danger, She came forward without even thinking about it...
She seemed to have become the kind, sturdy, courageous and determined woman in your Majesty's mouth, the kind of person she used to disdain but faintly admired.
Hands clasped each other, the two got up together, their eyes facing each other, their eyes full of enthusiasm.
Yao Yanyan had tears in her eyes and a smile at the corners of her lips, and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for allowing me to change from a mean and superficial woman to what I am today."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said sincerely: "No, you were not contemptuous and superficial in the past, but simple and straightforward."
Yao Yanyan's smile never stopped.
After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor sighed sinkingly, "But then, some people are busy again." As they had thought before, the dominance of the world is not the end, but the beginning.
Yao Yanyan held his hand tightly and said gently: "I will always be with you."
The two stood in the morning light, looking at each other and smiling, for the first time tacitly, the same words sounded in their hearts:
Always be with you, you will be there when you are there, and I will die when you die. Even if I enter the Huangquan Mansion first in the future, I will always be waiting for you.
When we hold hands, we will pass clusters of other flowers together, and we will walk across the Naihe Bridge section after section...
Even if the vicissitudes of life and memory die, I will fall in love with you at first sight, and then fall in love with each other, and live life after life...
