In the mansion of King Jing, there are so many colorful flowers competing with each other that even the lotus in the lake will not give way. The emerald lotus leaf is like a big disk, rolling the dew like an elf. There are several lotus pavilions standing among the cascading lotus leaves, some of which are already in full bloom, some of which are in bud and are very beautiful.
Yu Chen stood in the lotus pavilion with his servant girl and looked at the lotus leaves which were blown one after another by the wind. He said wistfully, "I remember that at this time of the year, Yu Xi would make people use lotus leaves to make all kinds of delicious food. Now she just wants to eat what she doesn't have." Yuchen will remember Yuxi so much. When the lotus outside Tingyun pavilion was in full bloom, Yuxi would always be invited to enjoy the lotus painting together. Yuxi is not interested in painting. She thinks about how to eat it. She usually makes rice with lotus leaf, rice porridge with lotus leaf, fish with lotus fragrance, kite meat with lotus leaf and chicken with lotus leaf. Let her have a good time.
Mother GUI will be busy. She didn't come here. She was playing the piano. Shiqin said with a smile, "when Aunt four returns to the capital, she will have everything she wants to eat." The emperor had decreed that all the family members of the frontier ministers would go to Beijing.
Yu Chen did not answer this, but scattered the fish in his hand into the lake. Looking at the fish scrambling for food, there was a faint smile on his face.
When Shiqin saw that Yuchen didn't answer her, she guessed that what she said just now made the princess unhappy. I dare not speak any more. The more difficult it is for the princess to guess now, she has to think about her words!
Back in the backyard, mother GUI came with a cup of hot tea. Jade Chen took over, but did not drink, eyes fell on the hand of the blue and white lotus tea cup. This teacup is thin and evenly colored. It is surrounded by a circle of twigs and lotus flowers. The painting is delicate and vivid. It is clear and transparent: "how did you change this set of teacups?" The previous set of tea cups that Yuchen loved was broken by Zhou Yan. These teacups are a complete set. If you break one, you can't use it anymore.
"This set of tea cups was given to the princess by the prince," said mother GUI Because of its special significance, mother GUI took it out for use.
Hearing this, jade Chen looks light.
Mother GUI is worried. Apart from the prince and the princess, the princess spends all her time on Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is indifferent to the prince. She is worried that in the long run, the relationship between husband and wife will crack. Although it's said that the princess of her family is a beautiful country, there are many beauties in the world. The prince doesn't worry about the company of beauties at all.
Yu Chen knew mother GUI's worry, smiled and said, "your worry is completely superfluous in the filial piety period." During the period of filial piety, the emperor and the Empress Dowager will certainly not give any more beauties. As for the beauties in the mansion, the prince is not in the mansion, and they are also furnishings. Moreover, even if the prince dotes on them, they will not be pregnant in the past two years, so there is really nothing to worry about.
Mother GUI felt that Yuchen was strange today. She went out of the room and asked the maid, "is anything going on today?" I feel that today's lady is in a bad mood.
Qin Shi said something in Yuchen's pavilion.
Mother GUI smiled bitterly. Her Princess was better than her fourth aunt in everything, and she had always been in good weather, but she was worse than her fourth aunt. That's Yunqing's single-minded attitude towards the fourth aunt. It's not like the king's single-minded attitude. It's just a word on the mouth. Yunqing has put it into practice.
When I went back to the house, I saw that Yuchen was not there. When I asked, I knew that the princess had gone to the painting room to paint. Mother GUI sighed a long time. People are most afraid of comparison. If there is no example of the fourth aunt, the princess of her own family must not be so sour. After all, those ladies in the capital are like this.
Is sighing, saw the king to return. Mother GUI saluted and said, "my Lord, the princess is painting in the drawing room."
King Jing said, "I'm very tired. I'm sitting on the arhat couch with walnut inlaid with mother of Pearl and marble. I'm holding the Ruyi cushion of flowers and resting on the couch.".
When mother GUI saw this, she hurried into the drawing room and said to Yu Chen, who was seriously painting, "princess, the prince is back. She is tired." There are so many things in the court. As a king worshipping in arms, I'm also busy now.
When Yu Chen entered the room, he found that Jing Wang was asleep. What kind of tiredness does it take to sit down and fall asleep. Jade Chen took a thin quilt to be covered for King Jing, walked out of the room, called King Jing's valet, and asked, "did you sleep well last night?"
"In these days, Wang Ye only sleeps for one or two hours a day," said the retinue There are too many things, and the emperor doesn't trust other people, so the king has no time to rest.
Yuchen doesn't look good, but she doesn't ask much. King Jing is not willing to tell her about things in the court. Naturally, she will not do things that King Jing does not like, at least not on the surface.
King Jing didn't sleep long, because the emperor summoned Yu Chen to wake him up. Jade Chen arranges clothes for King Jing and says, "Lord, you should take good care of your health." King Jing is the pillar of the palace. If King Jing has a problem, the family will not depend on him.
King Jing put his hand on jade Chen's white face and chuckled, "don't worry, I will take care of myself." He felt guilty for leaving his wife at home.
Yu Chen held the hand extended by King Jing in his hand, and said softly, "I will take care of Yan'er and spare son. You don't have to worry about the family affairs." In front of the king, Yuchen is a gentle and virtuous woman who always remembers her husband's good wife.
After King Jing left, Yu Chen asked, "ask, what happened to the court?" I can't sleep well, and I don't know what's important.
Soon I got the news. Mother GUI said, "madam, it's Yunqing's fold. Yunqing sent people to Taiyuan to buy food, which was robbed by bandits. Yunqing sent six hundred elite soldiers to recover food. Uncle Song said he would deal with Yunqing's felony of not dispatching troops without permission. "
Yu Chen is tired of hearing about empress song and the Song family, but she will not express her opinion in front of people about the court: "how come the bandits are so rampant now?" It's not a mistake for the bandits to steal the grain and Yunqing to send troops to recover it. But these bandits dare to rob even the food and grass of the northwest army, which is a big problem.
Mother GUI was also worried and said, "yes! Northwest bandits rampant, did not expect Shanxi that is the same. In the long run, the country will surely be in danger. " If Yuxi were here, he would surely say that it's not necessary to wait for the future, but now it's a great harm.
But Yuchen said, "Yuxi said there will be a drought this year, which is really what he said." Up to now, the weather has been smooth, and the drought is everywhere.
"No drought, it's a good thing," said mother GUI If there is a real drought, the fourth aunt must not live in peace. With her own princess's friendship for the fourth aunt, she will certainly not stand by. Therefore, mother GUI thinks Yuxi is still safe.
Yuchen agrees with this: "it's really a good thing." Once there is a natural disaster, then the imperial court will have to worry about it, and the prince will be even busier. By then, I will not see anyone in January.
Mother GUI mentioned what she said before playing the piano: "the emperor's edict has been issued, but I don't know what way the fourth aunt will try to avoid it." The imperial edict is different from that of the Empress Dowager. Dare to disobey the imperial edict, it's a crime to punish the people. Although the emperor had no real power, as long as he grasped the handle, the uncle of the state of song would have a definite aim.
Yuchen didn't worry, but said, "Yuxi will solve this problem." The emperor is far away. Find a good reason to avoid it. But it's just a stopgap. It's not so easy to think of a way to break the roots.
Han Jianming got the news earlier than Yuchen. He was not worried about Yunqing's sending troops to recover the grain. It's right to send people to recover the robbed grain. Even if the uncle of the state of song rectifies it, it's useless. The emperor can't cure Yunqing for this.
Mr. Zhao said: "general Yun is not worried about sending troops. I am worried about Ji Xuan. Before we start to suppress bandits, we have to pay for them. Once we open our mouth, we will get a million dollars. Where does the imperial court have so much money to disburse? " It's too dangerous for Ji Xuan. If he is not careful, there will be unrest in the northwest.
Han Jianming said, "let's see how the court deals with this matter."
As for Yunqing's sending troops to recover grain, only the uncle of the state of song advocated severely punishing Yunqing, but Yu Xiang kept silent, and the Emperor didn't want to go deep into it, so at last the emperor issued a decree to denounce Yunqing, which was painless and itchy for Yunqing.
In the court on the day of peace, he looks the same, so that people can't see his depth. It's the same today. However, when he got home, Yu Xiang showed a dignified look: "northwest, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic."
Yu was not surprised by this, saying, "Dad, Ji Xuan not only increased taxes without permission, but also bought and sold official posts and mined minerals without permission." Zhang Wenjie is a disciple of the prime minister, so his family knows more about the situation in the northwest than the emperor. For the northwest will be chaotic, in fact, people at home are very clear, it is only a matter of time.
Yu Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about Ji Xuan." Ji Xuan is not a man who can make things happen. Otherwise, he will not let Ji Xuan do whatever he wants in the northwest without interfering.
Yu understood immediately and said, "Dad is worried about Yunqing? But dad didn't say before that Yunqing is not a person who has no ambition and knows nothing but war and is not good at planning, and doesn't do any harm? " Otherwise, they will not support Yunqing as the general of Yucheng.
In the eyes of the phase revealed a sharp look, said: "this time that time." Previously, Yunqing had no ambition, but now it is not. If Yunqing had no ambition, he would not have done so much. People are changeable, but I didn't expect it to change so fast.
Said to think about here, Yu Xiang shook his head and said, "it's because I look down on Han's woman too much." He didn't expect that Han's influence on Yunqing was so great that he could change Yunqing's way of doing things. Yunqing is not the same as Jixuan. Yunqing has a strong army. Once ambition grows, the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, no one can control the situation, neither can he.
Yu asked, "Dad, the emperor has made a decree. Han will return to Beijing soon." As long as Han returns to Beijing, there will be no threat.
Yu Xiang said, "wait and see how it changes."
