Chapter 44 The Princess

The sound of the piano is sometimes high-pitched, sometimes melodious, sometimes tactful, sometimes low, piercing the golden cracked stone, seducing the soul. Everyone in the hall was fascinated by the sound of the harp, and their eyes became confused. By the time the last note lingered, the old man had quietly left. When everyone opened their eyes from the intoxication, they found that the doorway was empty.

The sound of the piano is enigmatic, and the old man is the same.

This song seems to have magic, Yun Xiao's state of mind is completely different, despite the Wan Niang around him, Yun Xiao still said goodbye.

In the early morning, the Weiyang Palace was shrouded in a layer of mist, and several eunuchs stretched out their heads and watched in front of the palace gate.

"It's coming, it's coming."

A sharp-eyed eunuch pointed to a four-seater carriage in the distance and said, his tone full of excitement.

Yun Xiao got out of the carriage, and the Cang brothers behind him each carried two big food boxes.

"The slave has seen Yunhou, and the slave is waiting for Wang Meiren's name is Guixi. The slave has been instructed by Wang Meiren to wait for Yunhou here, my master has already asked for His Majesty's will, Yunhou can directly meet Wang Meiren when he enters the palace, and he does not have to go to the Xuan Room to wait for the edict. ”

Yun Xiao was stunned, could this Wang beauty be Wang Huan? This woman is not simple, she has been married and had children, and she can still sneak into the palace. Not only can he blend into the palace, but he is also very favored by Liu Qi. gave birth to several daughters. The son only gave birth to one, and just one seedling of a thousand lands actually became the emperor under her management. This aunt's achievements are enough to make Aunt Cixi embarrassed in later generations.

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said yes.

Guixi waved his hand, and several eunuchs rushed up and took the huge food box in the hands of the Cang brothers. The Cang brothers couldn't enter the palace, so they could only wait in front of the palace gate and wait for Yun Xiao to come out.

The road to enter ** is very different from the road to Dengyun to enter the Xuan Room. The rough bluestone paved road is rugged and can only accommodate two cars in parallel. The tall palace walls on both sides are unusually tall, and they seem to be a little tilted, and it feels as if the two mountains will press down on them at any time, making people feel suffocated.

Yun Xiao, who walked here for the first time, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and only looked forward to getting out of this depressing road.

Seeing Yun Xiao's expression, Gui Xi said, "Yun Hou is afraid that this is the first time to come to this world. This road was built by order of Emperor Gaozu, and the purpose was to let the palace people who entered the ** experience the bumps in the road in the world. I hope that the best people will abide by their duties and not have other thoughts. It's like this way, if you think about it too much, you will feel that the palace wall will press against you. ”

Yun Xiao sighed a little that these great emperors thought about the rule of the empire in every word and deed, even every grass and tree. It's nothing more than a kind of use of architecture to give people strong psychological hints, but when it comes to the mouth of the big ** Liu Bang, it has become such a philosophical word.

The palace where Wang Meiren lives is in the northeast corner of Weiyang Palace, and this position is only a little worse than Concubine Li who lives in the southeast corner, which shows Wang Meiren's status in the palace. Liu Qi's queen died early, if the concubines in the palace have the ability to threaten Concubine Li's status, I'm afraid there is only this Wang beauty, if it weren't for the fact that she was married and had children before entering the palace, I'm afraid she would have been sealed now. Divorce is not a new thing, it is a new thing to be able to marry the emperor in the second marriage, and it is even rarer to be able to marry the emperor and be the queen mother. Throughout the thousands of years of human civilization, there are probably few cases. Later Mrs. Simpson did not do it, and put a king in for this.

The palace garden is very elegant and quiet, and the large clusters of green bamboo are pruned very neatly. The clear spring of Bobo flowed, and a few strange stones were scattered in the courtyard at random. Looking at the ancient books, it is said that Wang Wan is literate and likes to read ancient books, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name.

Yun Xiao had been to Baotu Spring in Jinan and felt that Wang Huan's courtyard was similar to Li Qingzhao's former residence. can calm the irritable mood instantly, quite a bit of a literary young woman.

As soon as Yun Xiao followed Guixi into the palace, a group of children, large and small, ran over.

"Yunhou Yunhou." Running in front is naturally the ginseng doll Liu Xiaozhu that everyone loves.

Liu Xiaozhu was missing a front tooth in his open little mouth, and threw himself into Yun Xiao's arms with a smile. The other children stopped behind and chirped.

"Yunhou, did you bring me the food I wanted? I told my sisters, Yunhou don't let me down."

Yun Xiao touched Liu Xiaozhu's tender white face, as if he could pinch out a puddle of water.

"Naturally, I brought it to you."

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Xiaozhu into a gazebo and called the waiter to open the food box. A group of small people suddenly stared at the boss, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl led a seven or eight-year-old girl to stand in front and watched in a daze. Behind them was a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, standing there like a fresh lily, giving people a sense of being out of the dust.

Liu Xiaozhu pulled the two bold girls into the pavilion.

"This is my sister, this is Nangong, this is Pingyang. Sister, this is what I said Yunhou, he will tell me a story, and the story of the monkey is what Yunhou told me, but unfortunately my father took me back after listening to it.

Sister, these are all brought to me by Yunhou, I invite you to eat. ”

Liu Xiaozhu generously pushed the food box over, grabbed a ball and threw it into his mouth, crunching and chewing.

In the end, it was a girl in the palace, and she didn't catch it with her hands like Liu Xiaozhu. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and unceremoniously held the balls, and after a while, the oily little mouth bulged like two squirrels.

The lily-like girl of fifteen or sixteen stood outside the pavilion. Seeing that they were eating sweetly, their throats twitched twice.

"Yu'er, Pingyang, Nangong, Longqing...... I can't find you anywhere, so how did I hide here? Wang Wan's voice came from the side of the bamboo, and Yun Xiao hurriedly gave a salute.

"Yun Xiao has seen Niangniang."

"It turns out that Yunhou is here, please take a seat. I'm just a beauty, and I don't deserve the title of mother, just call me Wang Beauty. Wang Huan's warm smile was not at all as domineering as she imagined.

"Yu'er, why don't you ask Sister Longqing to come over and eat too. My mother taught you, and Longqing is your sister from now on. Longqing, you also have to pay attention to your identity, you are no longer a palace maid, but the princess of Longqing, who has been specially sealed by His Majesty. Take out some royal domineering, if you don't do this, how can you learn to be a princess. ”

Wang Wan's tone was warm and stern, and the lily-like Princess Longqing hurriedly bowed down and sang, walked into the pavilion and carefully picked up a ball and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Princesses are born, not learned."

Nangong said with a greasy mouth.

"Nonsense, be kind to your sister Longqing, your sister Longqing is going to the Huns and kiss for our Han."

Wang Wan turned her head to Yun Xiao and smiled to herself.

Yun Hou smiled.

Yun Xiao's heart sank, it turned out that this lily-like woman was the princess Longqing who was going to be sent to make peace with the Huns. I really didn't know that such a flower-like girl could survive a few years in that bitter cold place. The Han people are not tolerant of the desert wind and sand at all, and most of the princesses who are close to each other do not live to be thirty years old.

Yun Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart, it turned out that his comfort was bought by many girls like this flower in exchange for their lives.

"Yunhou, Yunhou"

Wang Wan's voice sounded in her ears.

"Uh, Wechen is distracted. Please forgive Wang Meiren. ”

"It's okay, I'm inviting you here today for the sake of Biao'er. Yesterday, I had already asked for a decree to appoint Yunhou as the internal history of the king of Jiaodong. ”

"Oh, as far as Weichen knows, the current king of Jiaodong can still ......"

"Don't go out and say it, the king of Jiaodong has no clear will. On the day after tomorrow, His Majesty will announce that the king of Jiaodong will be renamed the king of Dongou and let the king of Jiaodong go to the south to become a vassal domain. ”

"Dongou is a barbarian miasma, will this be ......?"

"This is something that His Majesty considers, I am a woman who only waits for the emperor and raises the prince and princess. This kind of thing is not something I considered, and you are asked to come to prepare for His Majesty's decree and then go directly to the Jiaodong fiefdom and hand over to the king of Jiaodong. ”

Connect! Relying on your really big heart, from such a wealthy place in Jiaodong, you were driven to a place like Dongou by you. If you don't rebel, you're out of the way, and you don't need to hand it over. As soon as you make this will, people will directly oppose it.

Can't go, absolutely can't go. If you go and are clicked by the rebels on the way, you will be wronged.

"No. Xie Wang Meiren trusted, and last time Uncle Guo mentioned this matter to Weichen. Weichen also felt that King Jiaodong was talented and intelligent, and he would become a generation of virtuous kings, so he agreed. However, this matter of handover with the king of Jiaodong, Weichen thinks it is better to wait until the king of Jiaodong enters Beijing to thank him. Since you have gone to a smoky place like Donou, it is always appropriate to take some goods and go, so as to show the generosity of the royal family.

It is impossible for the current king of Jiaodong to pack up the people and take them away, as long as there are people, it will be easy to do. Jiaodong is the land of salt and iron, and it has been a rich hometown since ancient times, as long as anyone is still afraid that our Jiaodong king will be poor? ”

"This ...... Good. Since you said so, do what you want, I don't understand such a thing as a woman, and I can't do it. ”

Wang Huan's good temper surprised Yun Xiao, and he thought that he would be reprimanded by Wang Huan. I didn't expect to agree to my words so happily, which made Yun Xiao's impression of Wang Wan change greatly, now I can't see how Wang Wan will interfere in the government when I look at it horizontally and vertically, why did the eunuch Sima Qian write about the gentle woman in front of him like that?

"Yu'er will not go to the fief until the coming-of-age ceremony, and the matter of the fief will be entrusted to you. My brother who didn't make it was a little less capable, but it worked. Yunhou ......"

"Hahaha, Uncle Guo is the uncle of the King of Jiaodong, so naturally he has to go to the domain to take care of it, so don't worry about this. Yun won't have any ideas. ”

In the final analysis, Wang Wan was still not at ease with herself, an outsider, and let her younger brother Tian Wei go over to monitor. There is no way, the family business of later generations is not also this virtue. The Han Dynasty is the family business of his Liu family, and he is still unable to change it.
