Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 83
Toffee Qian did not expect to return to Beijing so quickly. In less than two months, her life seemed to have turned upside down. When she saw this prosperous city, there was no emotion but only some emotions.
Love and hatred and love and hatred, glory and wealth, no matter how much you possess, in the face of death, it becomes nothingness.
On the way back to Beijing, she encountered several waves of assassinations. Fortunately, the guards were strict and protected by the counties along the way, so she returned to the city peacefully.
The incident was so big that all counties along the way were frightened, fearing that she would die in a place under their jurisdiction. At that time, it would be even more troublesome and her official position could not be guaranteed.
In her view, Rui Wang spent so much effort to assassinate her, it is really unnecessary, she knows nothing about the matter at that time, what can she say even if she returns to Beijing?
At the bustling market, a dark grey carriage was parked in the corner, and the horse on the neck of the carriage was losing a piece of hair. It seemed that there was no spirit at all. Rui Wang was sitting in the carriage, watching the toffee passing by in the middle of the street, his face somber.
“Go back.” He squeezed a word out of his teeth and put down the curtain of the carriage window without looking outside.
Before Sun’s death, he once said a few words to Princess Qian. No one except Mrs. Qian knew what she said. I do n’t know what Sun ’s words left to Mrs. Qian, he can only tell Mrs. Qian to shut up.
However, from Lin’an Bejing Palace to Beijing, the guards were guarded along the way, so that his people could not find an opportunity to start. The people arranged by Jin Marting were really a bit patient, but they actually protected Mrs. Qian from dripping.
Because of this, he became more and more suspicious of what Mrs. Qian knew, otherwise why did Jin Yang spend so much effort to protect her back to Beijing? To investigate the case, just send an official to Lin’an Beyond Palace. Why do you even call back Mrs. Qian?
There are also rumors outside, if no one is behind, how could it be so vigorous, and each kind of deliberately aimed at him, so that even the officials of the Central Committee of the Democratic People’s Republic of China looked wrong recently. There are also bold actors and storytellers who use his prototypes to create stories that vilify his images one after another.
That’s all. Even some readers began to scold him in a poem, and he almost became a representative of the clothes and beasts.
However, in just half a month, he was notoriously indifferent. Jin Marting sent out a decree to prevent people from spreading rumors. But after this decree came out, on the surface, the people had less discussion, but privately he was more interested in his past, and then added fuel and vinegar to his past, and said nothing.
He lived for dozens of years, even if he was physically disabled, but in the eyes of others, he had always been elegant and elegant. When had he been so embarrassed? What is the taste of the crowd, he finally tried it. He did not let people direct the topic to the queen, but these people were not interested in the little contradiction between the queen and the concubine Sun, and some people even thought that he deliberately discredited the queen so that everyone would ignore his past with the concubine Sun. .
Hearing the rumors outside, there were even more writers writing, so that the emperor did not neglect him when she investigated the assassination of Princess Toffee, he was so angry that he did n’t get up at all, even after taking medicine for several days. Out of breath.
When he returned to the Bejing Palace, he happened to meet the loyal king who lived in the courtyard next to the Bejing Palace. Both of them had no mansion in Beijing, so they both lived in the Bejing Palace.
“Yo, what’s wrong with King Rui, it looks so haggard?” The loyal King stood at the gate of the Beyond Palace and called King Rui, he greeted him cheerfully, “The man is old, but take good care of it Make it fifty years old and sixty years old. ”
“Thank you Zhong Wang for reminding me that after all, this Wang is a few years younger than you, and he is not as experienced as you in terms of maintenance.” “Instead of worrying about this king, you should care more about yourself.”
The loyal king is a temperament, and he does n’t care about seeing the picture of Rui Wang. Instead, he smiles more brilliantly: “You do n’t understand it, the important thing for men is spirit. Although I am a few years older than you, But looking younger than you. “He walked up to Rui Wang, bent down and patted Rui Wang’s shoulder,” Brother Rui Wang, do you think this is the reason? ”
Looking at his full-faced bearded beard, dark complexion, rough skin, Rui Wang uttered aloud, and ignored him, and directly let Changsui push his wheelchair into the door.
“Father King,” Jin Hong saw his father’s face white with anger, and hurriedly whispered, “Father, next time you see King Rui, it is better to say a few words, I think he It ’s not good for us if it ’s good or bad.
Jin Hong’s whisper is really not much, and Rui Wang, who hasn’t stepped far away, clutched the armrest of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, and his eyes were as red as blood.
“I like to watch people angry and helpless,” Zhong Wang touched his bushy beard and patted his son’s shoulder. “Go, let’s go back and have some drinks.”
Jin Hong knew that his father had something to say, so he was dragged back to the courtyard by the faithful king.
After returning to the yard, the loyal king’s hippy smile disappeared without a trace. “Have you heard of the rumors in Beijing recently?”
“It’s already spreading, who doesn’t know yet?” Jin Hong sat first under the King Zhong, “I think this …”
“I heard that two months ago, a courtier confided to the emperor that the emperor would accept the concubine, which caused the emperor to be angry. Not long after, some officials were dismissed from the office because of their improper style, and some people were convicted. This is so overwhelming that the people are even more applauded by these officials. ”The King Zhong took a sip of tea and sighed,“ Now it looks a bit like it was. ”
“You mean …” Jin Hong froze for a long while before hesitating, “This is the emperor doing the push behind?” No wonder the rumor was originally intended to point to the queen. Changed, Rui Wang was blackened from head to toe, and even his children were hacked.
“With the character of the emperor, I probably wouldn’t use this gentle method.” The loyal king shook his head.
“This is also called gentleness?” Jin Hong opened his mouth. “If I were King Rui, I’m afraid I would have been angry.”
Zhong Wang looked at his son with an expression of “you are still too young”. “For the emperor, if this method is used, it is indeed too soft.”
Being stared at by his father Wang’s eyes, Jin Hong coughed: “It’s not the emperor, who would it be? Can’t it be Gu’s family?” Gu’s behavior is not like people who use this method what.
“Although it is not the Gu family, but it is the Gu family’s people,” the loyal king pointed in the direction of the palace, “do you understand?”
“How is it possible?” Jin Hong’s face changed drastically. “She was so brave. These rumors involved the first emperor. She was not afraid of the queen mother and the emperor pursuing it.” Is it true that the queen was spoiled by the emperor to be so bold? ?
“She dared to do this, naturally believing that the empress and the emperor would not be held accountable,” the loyal king saw that his son had not been in a state of moodiness, and shook his head with regret. “What kind of person is the first emperor, you don’t know?”
Emperor Xian himself didn’t have much fame, and it was no more than that. Between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xian, it is normal to have no feelings. It is strange if you have feelings. The queen is the daughter of Gu Changling. Before she did this, the queen mother and the emperor must have been in love, otherwise this matter would not be at this point, and it has not been suppressed.
The emperor’s purpose before seemed to protect King Rui. In fact, it showed a strange meaning. It seemed to be saying that King Rui was really a problem, but I didn’t tell you or let you know.
People are rebellious, the more you do n’t want him to know, the more curious he will be, so this will come and go, and things will become more violent. Have you seen that the emperor has done other things besides the next imperial decree?
“I don’t see it, the queen is still this,” Jin Hong raised his thumb, recalling the queen’s sweet appearance, and really pulled the other’s appearance and strategy together.
But thinking that the emperor had a soft spot for such a woman with different appearances, his admiration for the emperor was like a torrent of water.
Because ordinary men simply cannot afford such a woman.
As a different man, Jin Yang did not go up at this time, had no criticism, and did not see the officials. He is now holding “Thousand Characters” and reading it gently.
“Yunteng rains, the dew becomes frost, Jinsheng Lishui …”
Gu Rujiu was too lazy to ignore him, holding a book and eating snacks while reading. I do n’t know who Jin Yang listened to talking to the fetus every day and studying, the fetus will have a sense of belonging, not only smart after birth, but also very smooth at birth, so he would tell the story to the fetus in her belly every day. Studying, imitating the sound of animals.
Fortunately, he still knew how to protect his emperor’s dignity. When doing this kind of thing, no one was left in the house.
After reading a “Thousand Characters”, Jin Yang began to tell the fetus the story of rooster crowing. However, he didn’t seem to be familiar with these children’s stories. Fortunately, although his level of storytelling is not high, but he is very interested, he still insists on finishing this story.
“Drink saliva and moisturize your throat,” Gu Rujiu stuffed the red date wolfberry tea he drank into Jin Yang’s hands.
Jin Yang took two sips of tea and then sat down with Gu Rujiu to sit down, and then glanced at the book she read with the corner of her eye. It turned out that it was not a small book but a collection of poems.
For a long time, I don’t seem to love these things?
In the blink of an eye, Jin Yang wanted to understand the reason. Although for a long time, he was very disgusted with his study of the fetus, she actually cared about it, otherwise, what poetry collection did she read? Even the little talkbooks I watched recently have been chosen and then chosen, but where the plot is not good, they have been picked out.
After seeing Jiao’s wife’s careful thoughts, Jin Yang thoughtfully did not wear it, but said: “Queen Toffee has returned to Beijing.”
“It was so fast,” it took almost a month to go, but it only took half a month to return. Gu Rujiu thought about it for a while, “Queen Concubine Qian worked hard, let her rest in the palace for the night, I will see her again tomorrow.”
“Well, okay,” Jin Yang nodded, then looked at the bright sunlight outside the window. “Do you want to sleep for a while, and I will call you again after an hour?”
Ever since I had a child, I seem to have become particularly sleepy for a long time. Not only do I sleep longer, but also eat more than before, but the whole person does not look much fatter.
“Good.” Gu Rujiu put down the collection of poems and yawned, “Then I’ll go to bed for a while.”
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Gu Rujiu slept sleepily. After Jin Yang covered her with a quilt, she got up and went out of the dormitory, guarding Qiuluo Road outside, “The queen has fallen asleep. movement.”
“Yes.” Qiu Luo bowed his knees.
Knowing Qiu Luo’s loyalty to Jiu Jiu for a long time, Jin Yang was also more at ease. He nodded and took the attendants to the Imperial Study.
He heard that many women become pregnant after they are pregnant, and will always be sad and sad, so he tried to spare time to stay with him for a long time, not to let her think too much. The break was either held in Zichen Hall or dealt with after a long sleep, and after one or two visits, the speed of his review of the break was increased.
It can be seen that human potential is endless.
In the Imperial Study Room, the captain of the **** who escorted the concubines to Lin’an Beigong Palace had already waited for a long time. When he saw the presence of Jin Yang, he was busy with his salute.
“Look at your majesty at the end.” He is a military commander and his grade is not high, but he has been doing things with stability and stability over the years. How can I know that such a thing will happen. The toffee had an **** under his escort, and he could not blame him.
“Don’t be courteous,” Jin Yang nodded slightly, his expression was not too salty, and there was no anger in the captain’s imagination. “What happened to the queen concubine along the way?”
After Tai Fei was assassinated, Jin Yang sealed her as Gui Fei.
The captain of the **** did not know what the emperor meant, but he was honest and honest, and when asked by the emperor, he spoke out what he knew. Da Gui Guifei was very careful and cautious about eating all the way. When she was just out of Beijing, she wanted to eat tea eggs, but the **** was so bold that she would not buy her things.
Things about big and small said for almost half an hour, the captain of the escort’s throat was about to smoke, and He Mingduan gave him a cup of tea, and he drank it in two or three sips.
“I know,” Jin Yang can see that the captain of the **** did not lie, and said, “Come back, don’t accept foreigners for a while.”
“Chen Zunzhi.” The captain of the guard hurriedly put down the teacup and gave a big gift.
“Your Majesty, the slave-maid has already asked the entourage of the army, and the captain of the guard said these things have indeed happened,” He Ming said in a small voice, “but the captain of the guard may not know about it. The queen concubine broke it with a teapot Tea from the **** was found to be full of shredded paper. ”
“She has something that she doesn’t want others to see, but she wants me to know that someone is going to get something on her, or let someone know that the thing on her is gone?” Jin Yang didn’t care much This matter, because he already knew who someone was.
The assassination of Sun Taifei will definitely produce a result, but this result may not be as the world wishes.
Thinking of this, he looked cold, but it was only a matter of time.
Gu Rujiu Meimei took a nap and opened her eyes to see Jin Yang, who was not far away, looking at the fold. She yawned and sat up, “What time is it?”
“It’s noon,” Jin Yang put down the zigzag, walked to the shelf where the clothes were put, took off the clothes that Gu Rujiu wore, and then walked to the bed to help her dress, “Are you sleeping well?”
“Well,” Gu Rujiu rested his head on his shoulder and said lazily, “I’m hungry.”
“I’ve asked them to prepare a meal,” gently wrapped Gu Rujiu’s body, Jin Yang took her to his knees and sat down, then put on shoes for her, “I feel like I have a daughter. ”
Gu Rujiu hugged his neck and chuckled: “Can you give birth to my big daughter?”
“I can’t give birth, so I love you like life, and protect you like a girl. You are the pearl of my palm.” Jin Yang smiled softly. “Are you saying that?”
Gu Rujiu buried his head in his chest and smiled, not speaking.
When He Ming and others came in, they saw that the queen had already gotten up, and her clothes were well-dressed. I thought that His Majesty did not want the Queen to do such a move, but the Queen was wearing shoes on her feet …
It ’s not good to know too much. He Ming forced himself to remove his eyes from the shoes on the queen ’s feet, and then bowed: “Your Majesty, mother, the meal is ready.”
“Huh.” Jin Yang nodded, turned around and took Gu Rujiu’s hand, and walked slowly towards the dining room. The cautious appearance caused the court attendants who were present to look away.
Because I really haven’t seen it.
Early the next morning, Gu Rujiu was very angry. By the time she got up, Jin Yang had already gone up. Slowly after breakfast, Gu Rujiu asked people to ask Mrs. Qian.
Princess Qian knew that she would be summoned by the queen or queen when she returned to Beijing, but what she did n’t think of was that the queen did not care about it at all, and the queen was preparing to see her the next day, and the place to see her was not Luanhe Palace, but Zichen Hall.
Throughout the ages, Gu Rujiu was probably the first queen to live in the same hall with the emperor for half a year. Looking at the current situation, the emperor seems to intend to let her stay in Zichen Hall.
“Queen Toffee Ann.” The person who was outside the Zichen Hall was Bai Xian. Toffee Qian knew that he was served by the emperor, so he gave him a polite smile.
“Niangniang is already waiting for you inside, please come with your slave-servant.” Bai Xian bowed to the front and introduced Toffee Qian into Zichen Hall.
This is not the first time that Princess Toffee has entered Zichen Hall, but it is the first time she has seen such a warm Zichen Hall. This is not like the emperor’s dormitory, but more like a house where the husband and wife live together.
She was somewhat envious of today’s empress, who could meet such a man, such an emperor.
Today’s emperors are particularly fond of other women, but they have a soft spot for the queen. The Emperor Xian was affectionate towards all women, but he never fell in love.
The same is the emperor, the two can’t compare at all, because one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.
Because she had just returned to the palace and fell into the event of the Sun’s assassination, Qian did not know that the queen was pregnant, so after entering the inner hall, she was surprised to find that the ground was covered with soft and thick stalls.
Although it has entered August, it is not as hot as June and July, but the heat is still there. Why is there such a thick stall in this temple?
“I have seen the queen.” She paid a tribute to Gu Rujiu, who was sitting on the top of the head, and then found that the queen was dressed relatively neatly, without earrings, and her hair was simply pulled back. No makeup. It’s just that the queen is young, and although she doesn’t apply fat powder, her skin is still tender and fair, which looks like she can pinch out the water.
In the past, the jewelry worn by the queen was worthless, exquisite and beautiful. Now that she suddenly sees the simple side of the queen, Qian can’t adapt.
“Queen Toffee please sit down,” Gu Rujiu asked the court lady to serve tea to Mrs. Qian, and then said, “This time, letting Mrs. Qian go back and forth and work hard.”
Mrs. Qian said with a bitter smile: “It’s not very hard, just …” Her feelings for Sun are very contradictory, but now, she doesn’t really want to mention Sun.
Seeing her like this, Gu Rujiu knew that her mood was more complicated, and she said after a moment of silence: “Concubine, please mourn.”
I didn’t expect the queen to say such a sentence to comfort herself. She froze for a moment before laughing: “I’m not afraid of the queen’s mother and you, you joke. When I was young with the queen concubine, I had never dealt very much with them.
At that time, Emperor Xian was lustful and lustful, and the women in the harem were like cattle, as she and Sun were not concubines because they were most favored, but because they were from a family.
At that time, Lin’s, and later Wei’s, relied on the Holy Concubine. There are many women and only one man, so naturally there will be struggle and calculation.
There have also been a lot of scuffles between her and the Suns. What she did not expect was that the Suns ended up like this.
“Ma’am, I want to go to Yunfang Palace to see it,” said Mrs. Qian. “When the first emperor was there, the Suns lived there.”
Gu Rujiu put down the teacup and nodded, “Alright, this palace will go with you to see it.”
Princess Qian thought that the Queen would probably put on makeup or change clothes, but the Queen didn’t seem to have this plan, and she went out of the Palace of Zichen with a straight face.
“Ma’am, be careful of the steps.”
“Ma’am, there are stones in front of you, you will wait a moment.”
When Princess Qian Xian saw Bai Xian trotting forward, she squatted down on the ground to pick up the stone, and her doubts gradually became clear.
These palace attendants are so nervous, and the queen is dressed like this, is it …
Is the queen pregnant?
She is surrounded by guards these days, and outside news cannot pass in, nor can her news. After returning to the palace yesterday, I still had no chance to meet outsiders, so I didn’t even know that the queen was pregnant.
“Queen empress … Isn’t it pregnant with Long Si?” Qian Fei looked at a lot of palace attendants around Gu Rujiu and asked with some uncertainty.
Gu Rujiu nodded with a smile.
“It turns out that I didn’t know the big event of this day. I didn’t say hello to the queen’s mother, it’s mine.” Mrs. Qian said with a look of joy and bowed her knees.
“The concubine said it seriously.” Gu Rujiu smiled, not intending to continue talking about this topic, and pointed to the palace in front of him, “That’s Yunfang Palace?”
She has been in the palace for half a year and has never been here.
