Chapter 200 Chapter 1 Autumn Thoughts

It was raining outside the curtain, and it was late autumn again. The curtains of the palace carriages were wet with rain, and they came rumbling from the deep alley. The light drizzle was like cold tears. A piece of ink and wash, light ink and light color, full of pen and ink. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a slender hand with white and soft phalanges, red cardamom nails, and a purple gold enamel bracelet on the wrist, which made the skin more like jade. "princess." An old palace man knelt by the side of the road and whispered to Wei Chang's car curtain: "Physician Sun is taking his pulse inside."

The curtain of the car moved, and a woman in a light blue palace dress slowly got out of the car, with delicate features and a peaceful face. Two servant girls came up from behind to hold an umbrella for her. A woman in her early thirties led a six or seven-year-old child. Although the child was still young, he was very handsome. Seeing her, she grinned and said : "Mother and Concubine, I'm out of school." Yushu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to caress the broken hair on the child's forehead: "Follow mother and concubine to see the empress." The child frowned slightly, seemed a little reluctant, pouted and said: "Is it okay for Yong'er to wait here for mother and concubine?"

"No," Yushu said sternly, shaking his head, "Yong'er is a benevolent and filial child, the empress is not feeling well, you have to be obedient." The child pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly: "That's fine." It's just that in the expression, there is still a bit of reluctance. Four years ago, the eldest princess married Jiangshan, and when she was outside the pass of Chen Bing, an army of 800,000 troops in Yanbei, she won the title of prince for Huai Song, who was weak due to years of civil strife. North, along the Chishui River, and finally entered the Zhenhuang City.And these royal family members also followed the princess, far away from their homeland, and lived in Zhenhuang.

It has been several years since the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed, and today's Eighteen Prefectures of Hongchuan have been renamed "Yan". The new Yan Emperor repaired the national palace, expanded the Shengjin Palace on the original basis, and opened up a southeast land for the eldest princess of Huai Song Dynasty. The palace opened the mansion, called the Southeast Hall, and allowed the queen to participate in politics and command the government affairs of the vassal states of the Huai Song Dynasty. Officials of the Huai Song Dynasty who were below the third rank did not need to go through the court, and the outer court also called the Southeast Hall the Song Dynasty.

In the past two years, as the eldest princess's health deteriorated, the southeast hall became more and more deserted. Yushu's father used to be an old member of the Huai Song Dynasty. At the beginning of his surrender, he was still the pillar minister of the Southeast Palace. However, over the past few years, the old Huai Song ministers have gradually integrated into the court, and the emperor's policy of inclusiveness has gradually disappeared. The vigilance of these foreign courtiers.Now when I come to the southeast hall again, I can hear the sound of Qiu Chan sleeping soundly.

"Princess Xuan is here." Aunt Yun is over 60 years old this year, and she looks older these past few years, her hair is full of silver hair, and her hair is white and chicken-skinned.She walked over with a smile, bent down to tease Prince Yong, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Yong is getting more and more handsome, and he must be as handsome as Prince Xuan when he grows up." Aunt Yun has been with the Empress for many years and has a very high status in the palace. Even Yushu has always treated her with respect, so she smiled and said, "How is Gu Gu doing recently?"

"Okay, okay, drag the queen's blessing." "How is the queen's illness?" "Hey, it's still not the same." Aunt Yun sighed, she was getting old, but she was a little wordy, and said to Yushu: "I eat very little food, and I don't like to drink medicine. Like a child." "Yong'er is not afraid of taking medicine!" King Yong who was on the side suddenly said loudly when he heard the words, Aunt Yun was amused, touched Yong Wang's head and smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Yong Wang is a man, and he will go in later to persuade the empress, do you understand?"

"The empress is awake, who is outside?" A servant came out suddenly, and Yushu immediately nodded with Aunt Yun when he heard the words, and then led Yongwang into Zhaoyang Hall. Zhaoyang Hall is still the same, even though it is magnificent, but Yushu always feels that it is too spacious here, and when walking, one can hear the echo of footsteps. The queen is a quiet person, and there are always very few people around her. Even in this palace, there are only a few servants waiting on her side. Two second-class benefactors opened the East Pearl rain curtain for Yushu, and those shining beads collided together, making a crisp sound.Yushu led Yongwang in, knelt outside Nuan Pavilion, and said softly: "The concubine sees the empress."

After a while, a peaceful voice sounded slowly, and it sounded like he was still out of breath: "It's Yushu, come in." The main hall is a bit cool, and a marble screen is carved with high mountains and flowing water, which adds a bit of tranquility to the already empty sleeping hall.The queen was wearing a bright yellow luan suit, lying on the couch crookedly, her hair combed meticulously, there were not many red hairpins, only an emerald green Lantian hairpin, and a bloodstone the size of a fingernail adorned between her eyebrows. "Wenyuan, please sit down." A first-class female official came forward and took a seat for Yushu. Yushu thanked Yushu for sitting down, and the queen asked, "How is your family recently?"

Yushu replied respectfully: "Everything is fine." "I heard that the princes have changed to new masters, is Yong'er still unable to keep up with his homework?" "Yong'er is young, and his talent is not as good as the princes, but my concubine invited two gentlemen to the mansion for him, and now he can barely keep up." The queen suddenly coughed slightly, her face was a little sickly pale, and she said: "You are from a scholarly family, so you naturally know how to discipline children, but don't be too impatient, Yong'er Bijing is still young, children, don't force him Too tight."

Afterwards, the two began to gossip about family affairs. The relationship between Yushu and the queen has always been very strange. When it's not five o'clock, I will take the children to say hello. After all, it's nothing more than a few things. After chatting about a cup of tea, suddenly three whips were blew outside, Yushu was startled, and hurriedly pulled his son to stand up, the bead curtain was lifted, the emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, the color was dazzling, and he strode away came in. "The concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." "Yong'er pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The emperor raised his hand slightly, and said in a low tone, "Be flat." "Thank you, Your Majesty." The emperor sat on the couch casually, the empress was sick, she just blessed the bed, and asked with a smile: "Why is the emperor so free today?" The emperor said: "I heard from Imperial Physician Sun that you are not feeling well recently, so come and have a look." "The emperor takes care of everything, and he is still thinking about the body of the concubine, which really makes the concubine feel very sorry." Yushu sat on the chair with his head down, listening to the strange and polite scene between the emperor and the empress, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward in his heart, so he didn't speak at the moment, but just pulled the child beside him, pretending to be willing The way you listen. After the emperor and the empress had a few words, he turned his head and said to her, "How is your family recently?" "With the blessing of the emperor, everything will be fine." "The princes have a new teacher, Yong'er is young, can you still keep up with your homework?" Yushu was slightly taken aback, thinking that it was indeed the couple, nodded quickly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I can barely keep up." The emperor nodded, asked something else, and suddenly said to the servant Cao Qiu: "Bring the bow and arrow that Falang paid tribute to. Yong'er will be eight years old during the Chinese New Year, and he should also enroll in military studies. When Xuan Mo was around He loves to wield knives and guns, and is especially proficient in bows and arrows. The tiger father has no dogs, I believe Yonger will not let me down." Cao Qiu quickly bent over and ran forward, bringing up a box.Yushu quickly got up to thank her, but she was slightly worried. The emperor said that he came to see the queen's body, but why did he bring a bow and arrow?Does he know that I brought Yong'er into the palace? Over the years, the emperor has treated their palace very well, they have never been left behind by various rewards, and they have never been slighted at all because the palace has no male master.This point has caused many people in the government and the opposition to think about it secretly, and every time the emperor talks about King Xuan, he always speaks in a very familiar tone, but as far as Yushu knows, the emperor and Xuan Mo have never met. For a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, Yushu took the box, and Yonger next to him was a little happy, kowtowed twice, and said with a smile: "The emperor is so kind to Yonger." The emperor showed a rare smile, stood up and said: "I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I will go for now, you can chat with the queen here." After finishing speaking, he left in the sound of respect from everyone. As soon as the emperor left, the empress began to cough, and her spirit was a little weak. Wen Yuan asked in a low voice, and then took off the dark outer clothes for the queen, and changed into plain pajamas.The queen and Yushu talked one after another, seeing that the queen was obviously tired, Yushu got up and left.The queen didn't keep them either, but ordered her servants to give him the prepared rewards, and a maid escorted them out of the palace. In the long and narrow red alley, Yushu was sitting on the carriage with Yong'er in his arms. The carriage drove slowly, and the autumn rain hit the curtain of the carriage.Yushu was also in a trance, she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had met the emperor in the palace several times recently, and every time the emperor visited the queen when they entered the palace, in fact, it stands to reason that a widowed princess like her is Should not meet the emperor. She suddenly felt a little uneasy, and thinking of the emperor's expression when he talked about her husband today, she couldn't help being puzzled. She suddenly opened the car door and said to Jiang Wu: "Jiang Wu, is Your Highness good at bows and arrows?" Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect her to mention this matter suddenly, and quickly replied: "Your Highness is naturally proficient in bows and horses, but His Highness's swordsmanship is the best, and everyone in Beijing knew it back then. When it comes to bows and arrows, Your Highness the Queen Also very good at it.” Yushu frowned, a thought flashed through her mind, but it was only that flash, which prevented her from catching the tail. She nodded and closed the car door.
