59 Chapter 59
Sun Chengji's arrest has already caused a lot of movement in the Liang court, and his death has caused an uproar. Wave. The twists and turns smashed at Yang Yi like snowflakes, some were filled with righteous indignation, some were sad and sentimental, and some demanded that the murderer be severely punished...... There are naturally schadenfreude and celebrations, but they are all hidden under the turbulent court, and no one will be stupid enough to show it at this moment.
But these have nothing to do with Wei Yunqing. After restoring Sun Chengji's reputation, Yang Yi deliberately crowned Sun Chengji's descendants, rewarded him with gold and silver, and added officials to the knighthood, as long as he was one day, Sun Chengji's family would be rich and prosperous. And Wei Yunqing has also made up her mind that she will pay attention to the Sun family from time to time in the future, as long as she is still capable, she will not let the Sun family suffer a catastrophe. Just as she promised Sun Chengji, she would do her best to protect the Sun family.
Another thing that promised Sun Chengji was to assist Yang Yi to become a generation of Ming Jun. This was too demanding for Wei Yunqing, and after thinking about it, she decided to teach him like Yang Yi's tutor, while seeking help from others - the latter was the point. After all, modern and ancient education methods are different, and she is just an ordinary modern woman, she doesn't understand the way of governing the country, so naturally she can only find someone who understands to teach Yang Yi. The role she can play is more like a strict parent, when the tutor is teaching the child, she sits and stares at the child to study well without being distracted. Because Yang Yi has a poor foundation, there is a lot of room for improvement, if he can be more self-motivated, even if he can't become a wise monarch through the ages, it shouldn't be difficult to be a passable emperor.
After sending Sun Chengji's body back to Sun's mansion, Wei Yunqing followed Yang Yi back to the palace. She followed Yang Yi straight to the Qianqing Palace and motioned for him to retreat from the palace.
Seeing Wei Yunqing's calm expression, Yang Yi felt that there was no danger, so he ordered everyone to go out. Soon there were only two people left in the palace.
In this silence, Yang Yi opened his mouth first: "Sister Yunqing, are you angry with me?" ”
His face was apprehensive, and a nervous look flashed across his face.
Wei Yunqing was silent, and said abruptly: "What qualifications do I have to be angry with you?" We are all responsible for Lord Sun's death, and I have no right to blame you. If you want to blame, it is also the people of Sun Mansion who blame you. ”
Yang Yi lowered his eyes, and at this moment, he recalled Sun Chengji's companionship in the past few years, and he felt a little sad. Since he became the emperor, Sun Chengji has been by his side, even if he has always hated him, but the sudden death of a familiar person makes him feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, if you want to keep Master Sun from dying, let's think about how to clean up the mess after his death." Wei Yunqing said lightly, "In the past, you were naturally happy to have Lord Sun help you deal with political affairs, but now that Lord Sun is gone, who else can you hand over the affairs of the Great Liang Dynasty to?" ”
Yang Yi looked up at Wei Yunqing, and then silently pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that Wei Yunqing was right, without Sun Chengji, who else could he trust? He thought blankly for a while, feeling that this seemed to be okay, and that seemed to be okay, but he still couldn't make up his mind - handing it over to no one and not handing it over to Sun Chengji made him feel at ease.
"Also, I want to talk to you about a deal." Wei Yunqing said.
Regarding his agreement with Sun Chengji, Wei Yunqing didn't want to tell Yang Yi, if Yang Yi knew that she had to stay in the palace in order to fulfill her promise, wouldn't he have any fear? So not only could she not tell him, but she also had to say that this was her compromise, so that he could be grateful to Dade or something.
"What deal?" Yang Yi said strangely.
Wei Yunqing said: "Do you still want me to stay in the palace?" ”
"Sister Yunqing, I like you, of course I want you to stay in the palace!" Anyway, I have already said it once, and this time I said that I liked it, Yang Yi's demeanor was very natural.
Wei Yunqing automatically ignored his confession and said, "Okay, since you want me to stay in the palace, then you should want to accept my deal." I can stay in the palace, but you can't force me to do anything, and besides, I want you to listen to me and be a good emperor. ”
"Sister Yunqing, are you willing to stay in the palace?" Yang Yi jumped up in surprise, but he didn't pay attention to the words behind him at all.
"It's conditional! Did you hear the rest of the words? Wei Yunqing asked.
Yang Yi nodded again and again: "I heard it!" Sister Yunqing, I accept this deal! Today's battle has made Yang Yi fully realize how capable his Yunqing sister is, and she can escape from the heavily guarded palace, how long can he lock her up unwillingly? It was a deal of relief for him, and to him her request was nothing, as long as she volunteered to stay in the palace, it would be fine!
Wei Yunqing looked at Yang Yi suspiciously, he promised too quickly, she couldn't believe it, so she had to repeat what she just said and confirm it to Yang Yi again.
It wasn't until Yang Yi repeated her request that she was sure that he really understood her words.
"I have one more condition, you have to give me the freedom to leave the palace again." Wei Yunqing said. She was brought into the palace too suddenly, and she was still worried about things outside the palace, not to mention that she still wanted to see Yan Rusong.
Thinking of Yan Rusong, Wei Yunqing's expression became gloomy. She also asked Sun Sisi to hand over a letter to Yan Rusong before, telling him that she would find a way to go out and let him wait for her, but now, ...... Instead, she decided to stay in the palace on her own initiative. She was sorry for him, she wanted to meet him again, tell him about the current situation, as long as he was willing to wait for her, she was also willing to fulfill her promise to leave the palace as soon as possible for him.
Hearing Wei Yunqing's words, a trace of hesitation flashed on Yang Yi's face, and he thought for a while before replying: "I can promise you about this, but Sister Yunqing, if you want to leave the palace, you must bring a brocade guard, and ...... You can't go see Yan Rusong! ”
Wei Yunqing subconsciously frowned. Although she doesn't admit that the likes in Yang Yi's mouth are the likes of men and women, if he thinks so, he will regard Yan Rusong as a rival in love, and it is not surprising that he will behave like this.
"I owe him an explanation." Wei Yunqing stared at Yang Yi, his eyes getting colder, "If you hadn't suddenly brought me into the palace, I wouldn't be here at this moment." ”
"Anyway...... I won't allow it anyway! Yang Yi was weak-hearted, but he turned his eyes away and used the emperor's privileges to play tricks.
"If you don't allow it, there's nothing to talk about in our deal." Wei Yunqing said coldly.
Yang Yi looked at Wei Yunqing aggrievedly, and saw that she didn't change her tone at all, so she had to say, "Okay, I promise you to go and see Yan Rusong...... But only this once! ”
Wei Yunqing didn't want to agree, but thinking that Yang Yi was also a stubborn person, he nodded and said, "Yes." I want to see Yan Rusong alone outside the palace, and you are not allowed to send someone to eavesdrop. ”
“…… All right. Yang Yi replied very reluctantly.
Wei Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, looking forward to the meeting with Yan Rusong in his heart.
The result after discussing with Yang Yi was that Yang Yi would send a small team of Jinyi Guards to him, and the leading Jinyi Wei had a token to take her out of the palace, that is to say, she couldn't go out of the palace at will, she could only rely on Jinyiwei, which also prevented Wei Yunqing from bypassing Jinyiwei out of the palace. And that small group of brocade guards had to obey Wei Yunqing's words, and they were not allowed to disobey her orders except for not letting her out of their sight.
After the conversation with Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing, who was already so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, returned to Yanxi Palace. And this time, Lantian and Lucui also followed Wei Yunqing back. She didn't have time to catch up with the two of them, so she quickly washed and fell asleep.
On the second day, a Jinyi Wei Qianhu reported from Yanxi Palace, saying that Yang Yi sent him. Wei Yunqing saw that this Qianhu was still an acquaintance - Ding Zhengyu. This Ding Qianhu was the one who was rude to her in Jinyang City, and later sent money to bribe her to tell her not to be like him. Since they are acquaintances, there is no need to say anything, the two sides greeted each other for a few words, and Wei Yunqing took Lantian and Lucui out of the palace together.
"Girl...... No, it's time to call you a mother. Lu Cui made a mistake, immediately changed her mouth, covered her mouth and smiled. Although Lu Cui can also be regarded as understanding Wei Yunqing's pursuit, but at this moment, Wei Yunqing was named the imperial concubine, what a noble woman this is, she thought that maybe Wei Yunqing's mind had changed, and she was sincerely happy that she could serve such a kind and high-ranking noble woman.
"Privately, whatever you want to call it." Wei Yunqing said with little interest.
Lantian pulled Lucui and glanced at her, Lucui couldn't fully understand, her face was confused, but the long-term tacit understanding with Lantian made her not say anything.
"Girl, then let's go out of the palace this time, it's ......" Lantian asked.
Wei Yunqing said: "I was in a hurry to enter the palace before, and there are still some things that have not been dealt with. ”
She didn't elaborate, Lantian and Lucui didn't ask much, and the two sat quietly in the carriage, waiting for the car to cross the bluestone street, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Wei Yunqing stepped out of the carriage and looked at the first house she had purchased in ancient times, with mixed feelings in her heart. When she asked Master Sun to help buy this small courtyard, she and the housekeeper decorated this small courtyard very carefully, she wanted to live here forever, but she didn't expect that after a long time, she was forced to leave here.
The door of the small courtyard was suddenly opened, and a thin figure came out, sweeping a small clearing in front of the courtyard with a broom. Before he could start his move, he saw a large group of people on the periphery of the small courtyard, and he was startled, and quickly turned around and ran back into the small courtyard.
When Wei Yunqing got down from the carriage and wanted to stop Xiao Man, Xiao Man's back had already disappeared at the door of the small courtyard, and after a while, Steward Lu hurriedly walked out, and his originally slightly worried and frightened look suddenly turned into a surprise after seeing Wei Yunqing next to the carriage: "Girl! ”
Xiao Man, who came out behind Steward Lu tremblingly, was also full of joy on his face.
Steward Lu and Xiao Man walked forward quickly, but they were stopped by Ding Zhengyu before they could reach Wei Yunqing.
"Ding Qianhu, please let them come over." Wei Yunqing said.
Ding Zhengyu pushed it away and asked Steward Lu and Xiaoman to come over.
Steward Lu politely bowed his hand to Ding Zhengyu, and led Xiaoman to Wei Yunqing: "Auntie...... Empress! He remembered Wei Yunqing's identity at this moment, so he immediately changed his words.
Wei Yunqing didn't care about the title, and looked at Steward Lu with a puzzled face: "I thought you all had left here." ”
When she left, she didn't have time to arrange where these people went, and when she was brought into the palace, she didn't have much freedom, and naturally she couldn't settle these people well.
"Are the people in the small courtyard okay?" Wei Yunqing then asked again.
"Thank you for your concern, everyone." Steward Lu said with a smile, "Thanks to Miss Liu these days, she said that this is also Niangniang's maiden home, and she wants us to take a good look at the small courtyard and wait for Niangniang to come back." ”
"Liu Huiniang, she is really careful." Wei Yunqing's face was grateful. She, Sun Sisi, and Liu Huiniang are already friends, but Sun Sisi can't think of so many details, but Liu Huiniang thinks carefully about things, knowing that she has entered the palace, but she still takes care of her small courtyard in an orderly manner.
Wei Yunqing returned to the small courtyard, asked the Jinyi guards to rest in the courtyard, and asked Xiaoman to go to Yan Mansion to find Yan Rusong.
And herself, nervously walking back and forth in the room. She saw the words "green pine into the clouds", and stood below in a daze and watched, with a stunned expression. Yan Rusong's serious picture when she wrote these words is still vivid, but things are not people, and she can no longer be with him as she wants.
Urgent footsteps suddenly sounded outside, Wei Yun turned his head suddenly, and saw Yan Rusong breaking in.
When his gaze fell on Wei Yunqing and saw this figure that haunted him, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stood at the door and looked at her from a distance, as if he couldn't believe that this was true.
"Rusong ......," Wei Yunqing said in a daze.
Yan Rusong suddenly rushed over in a few steps, hugged Wei Yunqing, and whispered in her ear: "Yunqing...... Yunqing, it's really your ......"
Wei Yunqing kept nodding: "It's me, it's indeed my ......"
Her voice was choked. She didn't know how to describe her emotions at the moment. She was so happy to see Yan Rusong, but in this happiness, there was also a faint sadness. Because this meeting also means separation, and if you want to meet him casually in the future, it will not be as easy as in the past.
She even had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart - she and Yan Rusong might not be able to go to the end anymore.
The two hugged each other quietly, and no one came in to disturb them, so the two remained silent until Wei Yunqing pushed Yan Rusong away, looked into his eyes and smiled: "Didn't the brocade guard outside stop you when you came in?" ”
With her words, the dreamlike joy was brought back to reality.
Yan Rusong was silent for a moment before saying, "No." ”
He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask. What does it really mean for her to be back in the courtyard again? Did she leave the palace as she said in her letter to him? But how can the brocade guard outside explain?
"Come, sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly." Wei Yunqing pulled Yan Rusong to sit down at the table and poured him a cup of tea.
Yan Rusong looked uneasy as if waiting for the verdict to be announced, picked up the cup crampedly, but after a while, he put it down without taking a sip, and looked at Wei Yunqing with a nervous face.
Infected by his nervousness, Wei Yunqing couldn't laugh anymore, even if the corners of his mouth were curved, it was more like a bitter smile.
"I'm not leaving the palace now." Wei Yunqing said in a low voice.
Yan Rusong's hand holding the teacup tightened, but he didn't interject, he knew that Wei Yunqing's words were not finished yet.
"Yang Yi, he won't let me leave the palace." Wei Yunqing lowered his head and continued, "I think he just wants a playmate, I've told him many times, but he doesn't want to let me go." Moreover, before Lord Sun died, I had promised him that I would assist Yang Yi to become a Ming Jun. ”
Yan Rusong only felt that his throat was dry and tight, and looking at Wei Yunqing, he could only see the top of her hair, but he couldn't see her expression.
Her words...... Are you explaining to him that he is giving up? Was she telling him that he couldn't wait for her to come out of the palace?
"I ......" his throat swelled so much that he couldn't seem to utter a syllable, and Yan Rusong paused there blankly, not knowing how to continue.
Tell her that she will be her imperial concubine with peace of mind, and he will bless her in his heart? Or tell her that he understands her choice and tells her not to feel guilty?
"Can you wait for me any longer?" Wei Yunqing suddenly looked up at Yan Rusong, his face was nervous, and his lips were a little pale, "I know that my request is very excessive. But...... I'm sorry, I really can't give up on you so easily. Can you give me some more time? Yang Yi is still just a child, when he watches more and learns more, and grows up more, he will understand that his previous order to make me the imperial concubine was a mistake, maybe, maybe he will agree to let me go! ”
Wei Yunqing promised Sun Chengji to assist Yang Yi, and there was an additional benefit - when Yang Yi became a generation of Ming Jun, he would not think like a child like now, messing around, at that time, he would definitely understand that his so-called liking for her was just a curiosity to see new things, what he liked was actually her fairy status, not her person. At that time, he should have agreed to her request and let her go, maybe the two would still be good friends at that time, and she would still have a great backer.
And in this matter, the only person she is sorry for is Yan Rusong. In this era, he is already an old leftover man, and he has to wait for her for an unknown amount of time, what should he do with the delay? Besides, she is now nominally Yang Yi's concubine, how could Yan Rusong not leave a pimple in her heart?
She suddenly remembered the letter she had asked Sun Sisi to send to Yan Rusong before, and asked without waiting for him to answer, "The letter I gave you...... Did you bring it? Her voice trembled.
Wei Yunqing had seen Yan Rusong so excited when he saw her before, and he had already automatically thought that it was an affirmative reply to her letter. It wasn't until now that she remembered the letter, remembering that he hadn't said he would wait for her, but she took the liberty to ask if he could wait for her "again".
Yan Rusong didn't answer, took out a carefully folded letter paper, picked up Wei Yunqing's hand, and put it in her palm.
Tears suddenly welled up, Wei Yunqing clutched the letter tightly, lowered his head and sniffed, unable to say a word for a long time. Look at that! What a vision she has! She found a man she liked, and was willing to wait for her in such a situation...... What more could you ask for!
"Would you like to ...... Wait for me again? Wei Yunqing lowered his head and muttered his words again. The meaning of waiting for a few days is completely different from waiting for a few months or even a year or two, and she doesn't know how Yan Rusong will answer.
Yan Rusong was a little silent, and after a while, he gently wrapped his arms around Wei Yunqing, and his arms seemed to tremble slightly.
Wei Yunqing didn't know what he meant, his heart beat with his movements, and he closed his eyes nervously.
Whatever he said, she understood. But she still hoped to hear the answer she hoped for from him.
"I'm willing to wait for you a little longer...... But will the emperor agree to let you go? Yan Rusong asked in a low voice.
Such an answer made Wei Yunqing's heart surge, she didn't care about Yan Rusong's worry in the latter sentence, looked up at him and smiled affirmatively: "It will definitely be!" He doesn't know what liking is now, and when he does, he won't force me to stay. ”
Yan Rusong stared at Wei Yunqing, nodded lightly and said, "Okay...... I'll wait for you. ”
The weight of these words is as heavy as a thousand catties to Wei Yunqing. She never thought that she would harvest such a love in ancient times.
"Thank you......" Wei Yunqing looked at Yan Rusong with tears in his eyes, and added, "I won't let you wait indefinitely." Give me a year, and if I can't leave the palace within a year, you'll ...... Treat yourself as if you never knew me. ”
Yan Rusong didn't respond, just hugged her tightly.
The bits and pieces of the past are now surging in Yan Rusong's mind like a tide. He never thought that he would meet a woman like Wei Yunqing, how easy is it to forget her?
His promises are serious, however, he is unconsciously pessimistic about his future with hers. At this moment, his actions are contemptuous of imperial power, he clearly promised his father, but he did not do it, it is unfilial, these things are placed on him in the past, he dare not think of it.
He didn't know how long he could hold on, and there was a kind of panic hidden in his heart. Maybe because of the weakness in his heart, or because of the irresistibility of external forces, he will eventually live up to her expectations.
However, within the limits of his ability, he wished he could give her more hope. He understood that her desire to leave the palace was so strong, that she sincerely looked forward to leaving the palace to be with him, and he hoped that he would give her a little more courage until he could no longer hold on. And he prayed fervently that day would never come. 166 Reading Network
