Chapter 132 Chapter Six

In Yanbei, it was cold and snowy, but in Huai Song Dynasty, it was rainy and windy, and the days were cloudy. There are no lamps in the hall, only the shadows of candles are deep. The empty Moji Hall is covered with Su Qing's green gauze, and the long corridors are all paved with white pear wood. Every step on it has a unique echo, which is simple and unsophisticated, as if it has penetrated the ancient time, singing ancient sacrificial tunes at the end of the world. All the palaces hung up pure white palace lanterns early. Today, on the anniversary of the death of the former emperor Nalan Lie, the palace people changed into plain white sacrificial attires, and even the red chrysanthemums blooming in front of the palace gates were wrapped in white silk , Xiao Yu was very sad, and everything was bleak.

The sound of the ring pendant moved, and the woman in palace costume wearing a ring bun walked slowly in the hall. She had sculpted eyebrows and thin lips, bright eyes like stars, and a bright wind spirit. At the end of the main hall, there is a small table on the floor. Beside the small table, there are a few court servants, who are shouting loudly around the small table. Everyone has veins all over their faces, and their foreheads are flushed. A young man in a deep robe is also following the crowd. Huddled together, dancing with hands and feet, they were eighteen or nineteen years old, but they looked like six or seven-year-old urchins.

The nanny on the left frowned, stepped forward and said, "The eldest princess is here, why don't you salute?" When everyone who was playing heard this, they turned around quickly and saw the woman standing in the center. Everyone panicked and stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, and shouted loudly: "See the eldest princess, the princess is a thousand years old." "Get up, everyone." The woman in plain clothes nodded quietly, her voice was light, with a fairy air as thin as morning mist, she looked at the young man in the bright yellow and deep robe in the crowd, and gently waved: "Yu'er, come here."

The young man scratched his head and walked over reluctantly. The servants beside the woman hurriedly saluted and said: "Greetings to the emperor." The young emperor didn't even look at them, he waved his hands indiscriminately, raised his head, but saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and said to the woman in the middle like a child afraid of Mr.: "Sister Huang, I didn't cause trouble. " In the shadow of bright candles in the hall, the woman took out a handkerchief embroidered with Zhilan, gently wiped away the saliva of the young emperor, and said: "Sister Huang knows."

The emperor lowered his head and muttered something, but others couldn't hear clearly. The woman sighed and asked: "Today is the death day of the father, why doesn't Yu'er want to go to the temple mausoleum to offer incense? She even asked someone to beat her." Mr. Lu?" The emperor's voice was very low, and he lowered his head and said, "I...I don't want to go..." The woman lowered her head and asked patiently: "Why? Can you tell Sister Huang?" "Because, because," the emperor raised his head, his fair and handsome face flushed red, and argued, "Because Changling King and the others always laugh at me...I don't like to play with them."

The sound of rain outside was crisp, and the wind blew in through the corridor with a damp smell. After a long time, the woman nodded and said, "If you don't like to go, then don't go." She said to the servants kneeling on the ground: "Play well with the emperor." "yes!" A group of twelve and thirteen-year-old half-old children responded in unison, and the woman turned around and left with the palace people. After a while, there was another commotion behind her, and it was so joyful and joyful to hear that voice. Who would have thought that the emperor of Huai Song Dynasty, which occupies the most fertile area in the mainland, is actually a veritable fool. His mind will always stay at the level of a ten-year-old child, and he will never grow up.This matter is the top secret of the royal family of Huai Song Dynasty. Princess Huai Song has been carefully planning and planning for many years, and has been concealing this matter from the outside world. But now, as Nalan Hongyu grows up, the time to become an adult has been delayed again and again. As time went on, the voices of opposition and doubts in the court also increased day by day, and she finally gradually felt that she could not support herself.

Back then, before his death, Nalan Lie, who galloped all his life and created a large sea territory in the east, looked at the immature girl and the fool, and sighed "The crime is too heavy!" It fell on the shoulders of the girl who was less than fifteen years old back then. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed. Looking at the thin back figure walking slowly in front of her, Aunt Yun was in a trance for a while. She didn't realize that after years, the young girl with buns and slung shoulders has now passed two decades, like a flower of youth, in this deep palace. The time passed slowly, although it was rumored outside how shrewd and decisive the eldest princess was, how wise she was, and even in recent years, some people had secretly suspected that the eldest princess took power, even put the emperor under house arrest, and monopolized power, etc., but she alone knew, How much pain is in the woman's heart.

Five years, how many five years are there in a woman's life? "Princess, it's late at night, go back to the palace and rest." Nalan Hongye shook her head slightly: "There are still some official documents in Yuhe Palace that need to be approved." Aunt Yun quickly said: "Then take it back to the palace for approval?" Looking at the anxious face of the old nanny who took care of her since she was a child, Nalan Hongye smiled faintly and said, "Okay." Aunt Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to go to the Yuhe Hall to fetch official documents. After a while, the palace lanterns in the Roufu Hall were already shining brightly and resplendent.Even though Nalan Hongye was not a prominent person, everyone in the palace knew who the actual master of the palace was, so they were naturally very careful in serving her.

It was nearly three o'clock, and Aunt Yun sneaked in to look at it several times. Finally, she saw that the unapproved official documents on the table gradually became smaller, but in the end, she saw that the eldest princess was holding a frontier letter and hadn't written for a long time. She frowned and asked, "Princess, why is it so difficult to decide? It's the third watch, and I have to go to court tomorrow morning." "Huh? It's Bianyi's business newspaper." Nalan Hongye was a little dazed. She was disturbed by others, and she was surprisingly a little bit embarrassed. She brushed the broken hair in front of her eyes, and did not hide it from the person closest to her, and said: "Big Xia has already sent troops to attack Yanbei. Yanbei is in urgent need of medicines and food, and needs to exchange minerals for our weapons."

Aunt Yun is obviously not an ordinary woman and child, she frowned slightly: "Didn't you just send a batch a few days ago?" "Small things are a drop in the bucket. Marquis Changle and King Jinjiang tried their best to stop them. They used the excuse of the upcoming war in the East China Sea as an excuse that there was a huge shortage of supplies. Besides, because of the war in the north, the price of goods has skyrocketed. The gold collected from Prince Yan before has almost been spent." Nalan frowned slightly, when she suddenly heard noise from the direction of Qin'an Hall, she stood up and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Aunt Yun went out in a hurry, came back later and said with a smile: "It's okay, Your Highness is crying at night, the queen is worried that His Highness will catch a cold and get sick, so she sent someone to pass it on to the imperial physician." Nalan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?" "The imperial doctor said it's fine, it's just that the child was hungry at night." Nalan smiled slightly, his smile was light, his eyes were downcast, and he came with a bit of wisdom: "This child is the hope of our Great Song Dynasty, no wonder the queen puts her heart into it, my aunt has experience, and she takes care of her when she has free time. " "yes." Nalan sat down slowly and exhaled lightly.Fortunately, fortunately, Yu'er has such a child. Since she can no longer help him to the top, she can only pin her hopes on this child. But, how many more years will it take? She shook her head lightly, not wanting to think about these things any more, and wrote a "to be read" on the document, and then put it aside. Aunt Yun frowned and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.These years, the princess has been paying attention to Yanbei's affairs, especially after Yanbei's independence, Huai Song has changed her previous style and risked great risks to make an exception and get involved. She thought, such a wise princess Characters always have deep meanings that they cannot understand. Just as thousands of people in the Song Dynasty said, the princess is like a star in the sky, and the sage is like a mirror. Nalan came to the window and pushed aside the veil.I saw the rain beating plantains, crackling, and the lotus pond in the distance, the slanting water was shining, and occasionally koi jumped to the surface of the water, flapping its snow-white belly. Nalan's heart was slightly cold, and he stood silently. The servants gradually retreated, and Aunt Yun also made the bed and left the room. For a moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet, and only the sparse raindrops and the sound of the night were heard. Frogs. She suddenly thought of many years ago, a child in her teens, a rainy night under the banana tree, the boy's bright eyes twinkling like stars, and the two tender white hands clapping side by side... Jinlan became sworn brothers and never forsakes each other. Back then, when his father was alive, the royal family was dignified, and he was doted on by thousands of people. He followed his uncle King Anling on a mission to Daxia, pretended to be Prince Anling's youngest son Xuanmo, and met the son of Yanbei who was still in Zhenhuang's hostage. They get along with each other, and they become like-minded and form a friendship with Jinlan.In this regard, the north-south communication has not stopped for many years. Thinking back then, I was eccentric, Yan Xun was bright and easy, the children of Mu He's family were stubborn and arrogant, but they had no evil intentions, Zhuge Huai was young and mature, Zhuge Yue was withdrawn and difficult, Zhao Che was lonely, but he was often bullied by himself and Yan Xun Mu He. Xifeng and others teamed up to play tricks, their seven orifices burst into smoke and blue veins burst out, and once they chased Mu He Xifeng through more than 30 palace gates with a sword, threatening to fight to the death.And boy Zhao Song, at that time, was still dragging his nose all day long, crying and wanting to play with everyone, but everyone thought he was too young, and no one was willing to take him with him. Ten years have passed in a flash, and now, things are different, and the faces of those years have already changed thousands of times. Dust, scattered scattered. I took out the letter that was just sent to the palace this morning from my bosom, but after only such a day, the foot of the letter was already slightly wrinkled, the paper was warm, and it also carried the faint fragrance of a woman's body. After opening it, I was tall and thin The handwriting immediately came into view: "Brother Xuanmo, the Yanbei War is about to start, and my brother will go to the battlefield soon. Before leaving, I think twice, I still need to ask my virtuous brother to help me take care of the military supplies. Half a month ago, my brother went to Song Dynasty, Seeing the eldest princess of the other country, Princess Nalan Gao Yi, promised to support Yanbei's grain and grass. However, the war on the east coast of your country is about to start. I am afraid that the ruling and opposition parties of the other country will object. If the eldest princess is moved, please return The virtuous brother is in the middle to appease the courtiers. This matter is related to the life and death of Yanbei, and I have to ask for it. I hope that the virtuous brother remembers the friendship between you and me for many years, and I will help you. My brother is far away in Guanshan, and I will be grateful for the kindness of the virtuous brother. Righteousness. Wen Xiandi got married a month ago. He married a daughter from a good family in Huai’an. The brother didn’t congratulate him very much. He only had a jade hairpin, which was given to his younger siblings. The beautiful and unparalleled princess of the other country is hard to find in the world. However, her veil is half a finger thick, and her speech is dull like an old woman. She is more than dignified and lacks vitality. I feel that my virtuous brother has abnormal aesthetics. My brother's taste is very clear." Nalan frowned slightly, and read several times the sentence "The veil is half finger-thick, the speech is dull like an old woman, more than dignified, but lacking in vitality", the girl was angry, and there was a bit of anger on her calm face. The night wind blew, blowing the hem of her clothes, carrying a faint fragrance of cloves. Picking up the white paper on the desk, studying the ink and picking up the pen, meditated for a long time, and wrote: "Received my brother's handwritten letter, knowing that my brother is going to the front line, I am very worried. The battlefield is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes. I hope that my brother will be cherished. I am still waiting for the meeting fifteen years later, and I will be drunk with my brother in Pengxianlou , enjoy the autumn lake water together, play the Bai Suqin together, and sing the moon in the West River halfway. The elder brother must not break his promise and become fat, and abandon his younger brother. The eldest princess of our country is dignified and elegant, virtuous and virtuous. It is easy to see? My brother has been on the battlefield all year round, and his aesthetics have been greatly damaged. Hearing what my brother said, I am very sad, and I am deeply worried about my brother's tomorrow. Don't worry about food, grass and military supplies. Will obey. If things change, I will do my best to plan for my brother. Yanbei battle is imminent, and I sit alone on the building every night, looking northwest, waiting for the news of my brother's victory." After writing, the light rain had stopped outside, Nalan sat alone quietly, holding the jade hairpin in his hand, it was very warm in his hands, the whole body was snow white, with a cold plum carved on the top, the petals must be visible, elegant and clean, although not gorgeous, but extremely delicate . Send it to your siblings?Is it really going to be sent to Xuan Mo's bride? Princess Nalan showed a rare warm smile, casually took the approval document waiting to be read on the desk, and wrote: Nuo. It was already white outside the window, and the long night was about to pass. Nalan stood up, walked to the window, looked northwest, and stood silently. The apse spread. Nalan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and when he opened them again, it was clear and bright. She still had to find a way to persuade the group of veterans who opposed to intervene in the Great Xia Yanbei War. She rubbed the corners of her eyes. It seemed that the only way she could do it was to use the pretense that the eldest princess planned strategies, foresight, foresight and deeds with deep meaning. When she smiled lightly, she was a little more naughty than a girl, people are always willful. Some people, some things, are impossible in her life, she simply does not expect extravagant expectations, she clearly knows that she wants to protect Huai Song, protect the emperor, protect her younger brother's children, and protect Nalan's lineage. The sky was clear and clear, Princess Nalan looked calm, slowly opened the curtain, and said lightly: "Fresh and wash, get ready to go up."
