Chapter 535: Melancholy
In the palace of the king, the purple and red flowers are vibrant, and even the lotus flowers in the lake do not give in. The emerald green lotus leaf was like a large disc, rolling with elf-like dewdrops. There are several lotus pavilions standing among the layers of lotus leaves, some of which are already in full bloom, and some of which are waiting to be released, which is beautiful.
Yuchen stood in the Qinghe Pavilion with the maid, looking at the lotus leaves blown by the wind, and said with some melancholy: "I remember that every time I come to this season, Yuxi has to let people use lotus leaves to make all kinds of delicious food, and now she just wants to eat it." "Yuchen will remember Yuxi like this, and it is also when the lotus flowers outside Tingyun Pavilion are in full bloom in the past, he will always invite Yuxi to enjoy the lotus painting together. And Yuxi is not interested in painting, she thinks about how to eat, usually at this time she will make lotus leaf rice, lotus leaf japonica rice porridge, lotus fish, lotus leaf kite meat, lotus leaf chicken. Let her follow and feast on it.
Mama Gui will have something to do, but she didn't follow, and she was the servant. Shiqin said with a smile: "When the fourth aunt and grandmother return to the capital, you will have everything you want to eat." "The emperor has issued a holy decree that the families of the frontier ministers must enter Beijing.
Yuchen did not answer this, but sprinkled the fish food in his hand into the lake water. Watching those fish scramble for food, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that Yuchen didn't respond to her words, Shiqin guessed that what she had just said made the princess unhappy. Don't dare to speak anymore. The princess's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable now, and she has to think carefully when she speaks!
Back in the backyard, Mama Gui came over with a cup of hot tea. Yuchen took it, but he didn't drink it, and his eyes fell on the blue and white entwined lotus teacup in his hand. This teacup is thin and evenly colored, surrounded by a circle of entwined lotus flowers around the cup wall, and the delicate and vivid drawing is quite skillful, clear and transparent: "Why did you change such a set of teacups?" The previous set of Yuchen's favorite teacups was broken by Zhou Yan. These teacups are all in one set, and if one is broken, the others can no longer be used.
Mama Gui said: "This set of teacups was given to the princess by the prince. "It is also because of its special meaning that Mama Gui took it out and used it.
Hearing this, Yuchen's expression was faint.
Mama Gui is a little worried, her princess is now spending all her time on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the prince and the county lord, and she is indifferent to the prince. She is worried that in the long run, there will be a rift in the relationship between the husband and wife. Although it is said that his princess is captivating the country and the city, there are many beauties of all kinds in the world, and the prince is not worried about the company of beauties at all.
Yuchen knew that Gui Mama was worried, smiled a little, and said, "The prince is in the filial piety period, your worries are completely unnecessary. "During the period of filial piety, the emperor and the queen mother will definitely not give more beauties, as for the beauties in the mansion, the prince is not in the mansion, and it is also a decoration. Moreover, even if the prince pampered them, he would not let them conceive in the past two years, so there was really nothing to worry about.
Mama Gui felt that Yuchen was strange today, so she went out of the house and asked Shiqin, "Did anything happen today?"
The servant will talk about Yuchen's affairs in the pavilion.
Mama Gui smiled bitterly, her own princess is better than the fourth aunt and grandmother in everything, and it has always been smooth sailing, but it is worse than the fourth aunt and grandmother. That is, Yunqing is single-minded to the fourth aunt and grandmother, and this single-mindedness is not like the prince's words, Yunqing is put into practical action.
When I returned to the house, I saw that Yuchen was not there, and when I asked, I learned that the princess had gone to the studio to paint. Mama Gui sighed leisurely. , People are most afraid of comparison, if there is no example of the fourth aunt and grandmother, the princess of her own heart must not be so sour, after all, those noble ladies in the capital are like this.
As he was sighing, he saw King Jing returning. Mama Gui bowed forward and said, "Lord, the princess is painting in the studio. ”
King Jing hummed, and sat tiredly on the Luohan couch with walnut wood inlaid with luodian stones, holding the Tuanhua Ruyi cushion behind his back, and leaning on the couch.
Seeing this, Mama Gui hurriedly entered the painting room and said to Yuchen, who was painting seriously: "Princess, the prince is back, with a tired look on his face. "There are thousands of things in the court, and King Jing, who is the arm, is also busy now.
When Yuchen entered the house, he found King Jing asleep. You have to be so tired that you can fall asleep as soon as you sit down. Yuchen took a thin quilt and covered it for King Jing, walked out of the house, called King Jing's personal entourage, and asked, "Did the prince not sleep well last night?"
The entourage said: "The prince has only slept for one or two hours every day these days. "There are too many things, and the emperor doesn't trust other people, so King Jing is too busy to take a breath.
Yuchen's expression was not very good-looking, but she didn't ask much. King Jing didn't want to tell her about the things in the court, so she naturally wouldn't do things that King Jing didn't like, at least not on the surface.
King Jing didn't sleep long, because the emperor summoned him, and Yuchen didn't want to wake him up. Yuchen sorted out King Jing's clothes and said, "Lord Wang, you have to take care of your body." "King Jing is the pillar of the palace, if King Jing has a bad pool, the family will have nothing to rely on.
King Jing put his hand on Yuchen's white face and chuckled, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." He also felt guilty about leaving his wife at home.
Yuchen held King Jing's outstretched hand in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "Yan'er and Xian'er, I will take care of it, you don't have to worry about family affairs." "In front of King Jing, Yuchen is a gentle and virtuous lady, and she always remembers this husband's good wife.
After King Jing left, Yuchen asked, "Go and ask, what's going on in the court?" I can't sleep well, and I don't know what important things are.
Soon got the news, and Mama Gui said, "Madam, it's Yunqing's excerpt that has arrived." Yunqing sent people to Taiyuan to buy grain, but the grain was robbed by thieves. Yunqing sent 600 elite soldiers to recover the grain, and Uncle Song said that he wanted to cure Yunqing for the felony of not ordering troops to be sent without authorization. ”
Yuchen is now tired of hearing about the Empress Dowager Song and the Song family, but she will not express her opinion in front of people about the court: "Why are the bandits so rampant now?" The bandits stole the military rations, and it was not wrong for Yunqing to send troops to recover the grain and grass. But these bandits even dare to rob the grain and grass of the Northwest Army, which is a problem, and it is a big problem.
Mama Gui was also a little worried, and said, "Yes, bandits are rampant in the northwest, but I didn't expect that it would be the same in Shanxi." In the long run, it will inevitably be in danger of the country. "If Yuxi is here, he will definitely say that there is no need to wait for the future, it is already a big harm now.
Yuchen said: "Yuxi said that there would be a drought this year, and it was really casually said. "Until now, it's been all good weather, where did the drought come from.
Mama Gui said: "It's a good thing that there is no drought. "If there is really a drought, then the fourth aunt and grandmother will definitely not have a peaceful birthday. With the friendship of her princess to her fourth aunt and grandmother, she will definitely not stand idly by. Therefore, Mama Gui felt that Yuxi was still safe and sound.
Yuchen agreed: "It's really a good thing. "Once there is a natural disaster, the court will be anxious again, and the prince will be even more busy. When the time comes, there will be no one in January.
Mama Gui mentioned what Shiqin said before: "The emperor's decree has been issued, but I don't know what the fourth aunt will think of to avoid it." "The emperor's decree is not the same as the queen mother's decree. Dare to disobey the holy decree, that is the crime of the Zhu clan. Although the emperor has no real power, as long as he grasps the handle, Uncle Song will have a target.
Yuchen was not worried, and said, "Yuxi will solve this matter." "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, find a good reason to avoid it. However, this is only an expedient measure, and it is not so easy to come up with a way to cut off the roots.
Han Jianming got the news earlier than Yuchen, and he was not worried about Yunqing sending troops to recover the military rations. Sending someone to recover the stolen grain is right anywhere, even if Uncle Song is entangled, it is useless, and the emperor cannot cure Yunqing's crime because of this matter.
Mr. Zhao said: "I'm not worried about General Yun sending troops, I'm worried about Ji Xuan." Before he started to suppress the bandits, he asked for military salaries, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a million. Where did the imperial court have so much money to allocate it? "This Ji Xuan is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, there will be turmoil in the northwest.
Han Jianming said: "Let's see how the imperial court handles this matter!"
Regarding the matter of Yunqing sending troops to recover the grain, only Uncle Song advocated severely punishing Yunqing, Yu Xiang remained silent, and the emperor did not want to investigate deeply, so in the end, the emperor issued a holy decree to reprimand Yunqing, and the reprimand was painless and itchless for Yunqing.
Yu Xiang is in the court on weekdays, and his expression is the same, so that people can't see his depth, and it's the same today. But when he got home, Yu Xiang showed a solemn expression: "Northwest, I'm afraid it's going to be messy." ”
Master Yu was not surprised by this, and said: "Dad, Ji Xuan not only increased taxes and extorted taxes privately, but also bought and sold official positions and mined ore privately. "Zhang Wenjie is the disciple of the old minister, so the Yu family knows the situation in the northwest better than the emperor. Regarding the chaos in the northwest, in fact, everyone in the Yu family knows very well that it is only a matter of time or time.
Yu Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about Ji Xuan. "Ji Xuan is not a person who can get things done, otherwise he would not let Ji Xuan do whatever he wants in the northwest without interfering.
Master Yu immediately understood, and said, "Dad is worried about Yunqing, but didn't Dad say before that Yunqing is not a person who is unambitious and only knows how to fight and is not good at planning, and is not a dangerous person?"
Yu Xiang's eyes revealed a sharp look and said, "This time and that time." "In the past, Yunqing was unambitious, but now it may not be. If Yunqing didn't have ambition, he wouldn't have done so much. People's hearts are fickle, but I didn't expect it to become so fast.
Thinking about this, Yu Xiang shook his head and said, "It's me who underestimated the woman of the Han family." He didn't expect that Han's influence on Yunqing would be so big, so big that it could change the way Yunqing acted. Yunqing is different from Ji Xuanke, Yunqing has a heavy army, once he breeds ambition, the consequences are unimaginable. At that point, no one will be able to control the situation, and neither will he.
Master Yu asked, "Dad, the emperor has issued a holy decree, and the Han family is about to return to Beijing." "As long as Han returns to Beijing, it will not pose any threat.
Yu Xiang said: "Let's wait and see!" R1148
