Chapter 214 Happy Gathering
The emperor asked carefully for a long time, and was satisfied with the conditions of the person chosen by his mother: gentle, beautiful, honest and obedient, both parents died, family property, high-ranking officials and rich salary, family background, unmarried and no children.Such a person is considered a good person. My mother was still young when she passed away, not yet at the age of abstinence.It would be a shame for her to be a widow for the sake of the emperor. There is no reason for her to be a widow for her son. Young and healthy women will have needs... So I don't care about the interactions between the concubines in the harem. I am only responsible for solving the queen's needs.
He was silent for a long time, opened the box of incense, and smelled it carefully, the tears that had just stopped falling down like a broken bead curtain, took out a piece of incense cake and put it in his arms, and the rest Keep the lid on.
Daiyu sniffed it secretly, but there was no obvious smell, just a faint fragrance, very light, sweet and milky.
The emperor whimpered and asked, "Daiyu, sister, has she visited me all these years?"
Daiyu could no longer take out her handkerchief, so she grabbed a grape and turned it into a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Come every year." I never imagined that an emperor like you would cry for this, crying so sadly. Will it be like this?It looks much softer.
The emperor felt much more comfortable in his heart. Although there was a gap between coming every month he expected, it was much better than never coming back as he guessed.He said sadly: "Daiyu, my mother has been away for so long. Sometimes I knelt in front of the memorial tablet all night, begging her to sleep and let me have a look at her, but she never came back. Was she there at that time?" Are you busy talking about love?"
Daiyu said: "Brother, Empress Mingde is a fairy who has become a fairy by virtue of her good deeds and the title of queen you gave her. Yuxian told me that Empress Mingde also wants to come back to see you often, but The magic power is low, and the number of times I can come back is not many, and I couldn't conjure dreams before, and I conjured dreams for you a few days ago because Yuxian helped her." Although he has become a fairy, his ability is similar to that of an ordinary ghost, and he needs to practice.
Yuxian said that she asked me to explain it for her, so that the emperor would not be heartbroken, she was really careful.
The emperor remembered that his mother said in a dream that she knew that I was suffering, and that the empress was kind to me. She really came back to see me often. Since the death of the first emperor, I have been very happy.Sad again: "Is my mother still so weak and unable to protect herself? Will she be bullied?"
Daiyu, you are a bit like my mother, both look slender and delicate, as if you can't help the wind blowing.
Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, Emperor Gouchen is the most fair-minded. Although there are many bad people in the emperors, empresses, generals and ministers throughout the ages, they can't go to heaven. Those who are with Empress Mingde are all ancient and modern emperors and empresses. People bullied her."
The emperor said quietly: "What about after we got married? Before we got married, no one bullied the queen. You haven't seen how much I suffered when I first married, and how many people bullied me. Alas... Daiyu, how is my brother treating you well?" ?”
Daiyu pursed her lips feeling helpless, my mother didn't tell Yao Sanlang in such detail: "Okay, it's alright, there has never been such a favor in the past."
The emperor smiled helplessly: "If you don't mention the matter of the emperor and princess, I am a good person." You also know that I made you a princess at the beginning, partly because the Supreme Emperor likes Yao Sanlang, I want to stay Yao Sanlang fooled him - what happened later was completely beyond my expectation.Don't you know, Donglai and I sat opposite each other to get enlightened, why did things happen like this?
Dai Yuxin said: Only from the emperor's point of view, you are a good person. You kill corrupt officials, you don't favor treacherous men, you don't build palaces, you don't extort money, and you don't search for women.From a human point of view, you killed your father!
She smiled sweetly: "Yeah, you are very good to me." I am really good at telling the truth ~ you are really good to me.
The emperor nodded, and felt that he had no confidence in saying this, and now his status has changed.I used to be the emperor, supreme, and I could do whatever I wanted, but now you are a god, and I don’t even know how to ask you.
Seeing his red face and embarrassed look, Daiyu knew what he was going to say, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of Empress Mingde. If she is bullied in the future, Yunqi and I will go and beat her. Never let her be wronged."
The emperor almost cried again, grabbing Daiyu's little hand, tears rolling in his eyes: "What I care about most in my life is not the world, but these two women. My queen mother entrusts you. From now on, the future queen will also be entrusted to you." You, I reckon that she can ascend to the sky, but I can't. When we are a hundred years later, you will take good care of her."
Thinking that the queen might not be able to bear the loneliness in a few decades, and remarried, my heart... I am going to die.
Why did you hold back your energy to seize the throne and become emperor?The reason is that I can't let the sons of those coquettish bastards ascend the throne!Why do you need a good reputation when you become an emperor, why can't you eat, drink and have fun?The purpose is to prevent my mother from being charged with incompetent teaching, so that my country can last forever, and the queen can be a queen forever, so that the country will not be ruined and the family will not be destroyed...
Daiyu was also a little sad: "Brother, it's not impossible to start practicing Taoism when you are six or seventy years old."
The emperor yawned: "When I mention cultivation, I feel sleepy. Maybe it will be better at that time, I will try my best. Do my best and obey the destiny. I am afraid that my temperament will not be changed."
Daiyu said in her heart: Even if you can't practice now, you can practice in the underworld later.Cao Mengde is a capable minister, a traitor, but also a bastard who slaughtered the city, so he stayed in the underworld as a small official first, and gradually cultivated out.
The two of them went out of the house again, the queen saw that he was crying like that, it was not easy to ask him face to face, and ordered: "Bring water, and wait for the emperor to wash his face."
The emperor ordered while washing his face: "Chuan Shan. Have you two eaten? Is the road far away?"
Yao Sanlang smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's not too far away."
The food had been prepared long ago, and it was brought up as soon as I heard the order.
The emperor wanted to say a very important and serious matter, and ordered all the maids to stand down.
A table was full, and Daiyu and Yao Sanlang were dumbfounded at the time, saying in unison: "So vegetarian?" "It's all vegetarian?"
The queen said quietly: "We haven't reached the filial piety yet."
The emperor said quietly: "The ministers didn't go to the memorial and begged me to stop being filial. They usually control things, but now they all shut up. Hmph."
Yao Sanlang calmly took out a bowl of crispy pork with salt and pepper, a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of Kung Pao chicken, a bowl of braised pork, and a bowl of tomato stew from his sleeve: "Try it."
Hmph, cooks always steal a piece of meat before frying, and a bowl after frying. I only stole a bowl after frying for a whole day. It's really clean and honest.
The queen was so shocked that she almost dropped her chopsticks: "Huh?"
Daiyu covered her face with her hands as if nothing had happened, my delicate and handsome little fairy, when you took out the first bowl of crispy meat, all the spirit of the fairy disappeared.
Beautiful gods should eat wind and drink dew, eat fruits, pine nuts, sealwort, and poria cocos, so they won't eat braised pork and tomato stew.
The emperor got up from his seat and walked around to him, grabbed his sleeves and looked in. Seeing Bai Shengsheng's forearm like a lotus root, he was puzzled: "You...why do you put vegetables in your sleeves, I won't ask , I just want to ask if this dish will not be spilled?"
I can understand if you have a cabinet in your sleeve to put things in, but if your arms are dangling, won't the things in the cabinet be messed up?
Yao Sanlang was dumbfounded by the question, he had never thought about this question, since he stuffed all kinds of things into his sleeves since he was a child, he didn't know how to spill them.He rolled up his sleeves and took a look, feeling puzzled, huh?Why not spill the soup and leak it.
Daiyu didn't touch the meat, and took a bite of the cabbage in a clear soup. There was no oil or meat in it, but she could tell that the cabbage had a meaty taste, and it was boiled in broth.She asked: "When I was young, I went to have a vegetarian meal. The monks in the temple can make melons, fruits and vegetables taste like chicken, duck and fish meat. Couldn't it be possible in the palace?"
The empress glared at the emperor resentfully: "It would be impious to keep filial piety like that."
The emperor smiled embarrassingly, put down Yao Sanlang's sleeves, walked back and sat down obediently: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, there is a solution now."
The queen sneered: "Are you going to pretend to be a god to have a dream? Or is there a god who brought you a message?"
The emperor smiled brightly: "The heavenly incense that Daiyu brought back, we lit it, and said that the father said that he went to heaven to be a god, and he was very dissatisfied to see us so sad. Okay? Daiyu, Sanlang, don't you Expose us."
Daiyu and Yao Sanlang looked at each other, nodded and laughed together: "I don't know anything."
So everyone ate and drank happily and harmoniously.
After the meal, the queen left the two of them to talk, and the emperor said hypocritically, "I'm going to review the memorial."
Leaving the peaceful Yongfu Palace and returning to the serious Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor waved his hands: "Go out to the left and right, stay away from three feet away, and don't come close."
Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to say anything, they all bowed to promise and retreated.
The emperor bolted the windows one by one by himself. He was already tired, and the lack of exercise in winter was too bad. He leaned on the pillars to catch his breath, and then bolted several doors one by one.Pushing open the door of the secret room, there is a small library inside. The walls are covered with bookshelves. Bookshelves of different sizes are piled up in disorder on the bookshelves, and there are also some indescribable porcelain dolls.
He carefully checked the bibliography row by row, and occasionally took out a book and held it in his hand. After a while, when he had collected more than a dozen books, he took out the secret room, walked to the side of the smoker, and took out the banknotes. Smoke covered the charcoal basin underneath, and threw books into it one by one.
"Lv Dongbin Playing Peony", "Wang Zhaoyi's Encounter with the Immortal", "Sun Dasheng After the Seven Fairies", "The Immortal Fu Fox" and other books.
Burning books, all kinds of books about male immortals and mortal women, boudoir wives, and harem concubines are all burned!Originally, this kind of strange book was his favorite. Wang Zhaoyi, who was lonely in the deep palace, was taken by a male fairy to become a fairy. Immortal being... Now, thinking about it, I feel something is wrong.
I also looked at the books written by the fairies and the beautiful little scholar/your son Hehehe, and considered whether to burn them... Forget it, the fairies did not suffer in these books, they left after they were happy, no matter how much the little scholars missed Become sick, do not burn.
After the book was finished burning and the flame stopped screaming upwards, he used the fire stick to push the ashes away, revealing the red-hot silver charcoal underneath.
He took out the Tianxiang box and opened it to have a look. There were three small seal flower cakes inside. He picked up one and sniffed it dubiously. There was indeed a strange fragrance.Putting it on the charcoal fire, the strange fragrance gushes out and instantly fills the room, leaking out through the cracks in the doors and windows.
The emperor stood at the door, listening to the amazement of the crowd outside the eaves: "It smells so good!" "It smells so good!" "What kind of smell is this?"
Satisfied, he strolled back, worried that a chestnut-sized cake would not be fragrant, so he burned another one.Then go to close the door of the secret room first, open the bolts on the windows one by one, fasten the smoke cage woven with silver wire to insulate heat and fire, and then unlock the door, and walk to the door calmly and open the door: "Duofu, Come in and wait, make tea."
As soon as the door was opened a crack, the aroma rushed out, running along the wind as far as it could go.
Duofu was puzzled and walked in tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this fragrance..."
Why is there such a big aroma all of a sudden?
The historians in the duty room, Zhongshu Sheren and others also heard the exclamation of the eunuchs and guards, and they all came out to take a look. As soon as they left the house, they smelled a graceful fragrance that had never been seen or heard before. It was so fragrant.
It is not the aroma of musk musk, not the aroma of spices, nor the aroma of food. They have smelled a lot of aromas when they went to the court and the homes of powerful people. It seems that this is not the aroma of the world.
The emperor calmly approved the memorial, a lot of work was waiting for him, so he had no time to say anything else.He just said lightly: "Duofu, go out and tell them not to panic. I just saw my father and mother. I asked Zhongshu Sheren to come in and draw up an order."
Several cultural people who were in charge of drafting the purpose all came in, sniffing their noses carefully, the strong fragrance made them intoxicated, but they felt refreshed, even the eye pain from reading for a long time disappeared.Salute: "Your Majesty."
The emperor put down the vermilion pen, and the expression on his face was very complicated. He couldn't tell whether it was grief or happiness, but it was indescribable.Because he thought in his heart that my mother was going to remarry, and the marriage was very good, I was very happy, and a little sad.Sighed: "Just now my father and my mother, Empress Xiao Mingde, appeared in front of me and said that they are living happily in the sky, and they are also very happy. Seeing me eating vegetarian, suffering and mourning in the mortal world, I really can't bear it. I want you to stop keeping your filial piety, the smell in the house is the fragrance left by the Second Sage. You draw up a decree..."
The ministers were as surprised as if they had heard that the emperor was a woman.
Now the emperor's heart is almost torn into two, one is happy for the fate of the former emperor, and the other is deeply powerless and self-blame: "tell the whole story of this matter clearly to the world, I govern the country with filial piety, isn't it Ending filial piety ahead of time for everyone's enjoyment is the order of the parents and has to be obeyed."
All the ministers responded: "Yes, I obey the order."
Then I went back to draft the decree. This is a big event, and it will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. Maybe even the content of the imperial decree can be included.
The emperor continued to criticize the memorial. After half an hour, Duofu quietly walked to the door and heard a little eunuch say a few words, then came back and said softly: "Your Majesty, Dr. Guanglu Zhuo Dong came to see you."
"please come in."
Zhuo Donglai had a special permission to go directly to the palace gate to ask for an interview at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The emperor was really reluctant to let him bask in the sun at the gate of the palace, and waited for the guards to enter the palace to find the emperor, who was not sure where he was. He entered the palace, that was too tiring.
He entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a serious expression on his face, a little anxious: "Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand: "Close the door, close the door. Donglai, what's the matter with you suddenly entering the palace?"
Zhuo Donglai has relaxed now: "Erlang, I smell a strange fragrance floating in the monastery, and sent people to investigate around, almost the whole capital city is shrouded in the fragrance. This fragrance is so wonderful that people have to worry about its origin and efficacy."
The emperor looked at him with bright eyes, and said in his heart that you must have smelled this fragrance and made up all kinds of terrible conspiracies in your brain, and then came to me in a hurry to discuss countermeasures. "This is Tianxiang, it's..." I don't want to tell the truth, it's embarrassing, and I don't want to lie to you.
Zhuo Donglai smiled softly: "What do you say to the outside world?"
The emperor liked his thoughtfulness: "The first emperor and Empress Mingde came and told me that there is no need to keep filial piety."
"Understood, I'll go and deal with it." Zhuo Donglai looked around and saw a lot of ashes that were not charcoal in the charcoal basin, which was suspicious.
The emperor buried his head in the memorial mountain, and said: "Don't go yet, you sit for a while to warm up before you go, it's freezing cold. What were you doing when you smelled the fragrance? Does the fragrance penetrate so pervasively?"
Zhuo Donglai smiled slightly: "No. There are few rare things today, and I watched plum blossoms in the yard with Ze Lan. At first, the plum fragrance was tangy, and then a strange fragrance changed."
The emperor was a little surprised: "You and her admire the plum blossoms, can you see it?"
"It's hard to see, she not only decided to make plum wine, but also made plum sauce and plum sauce ice cream for next year."
The emperor was speechless: "Does she really think plums can grow on wintersweet trees?"
Although I don't know where the oranges and apples grow, I know that my wintersweet tree only blooms but not bears fruit.
(In fact, in the end, because the fruit was poisonous, the people in the Royal Garden cleaned it up)
Zhuo Donglai laughed: "She knows, she's just greedy. Just as she was about to drink the sealed green plum wine, she smelled the aroma. Erlang, I'm leaving. If she doesn't leave, she will drink up the whole jar of wine. Drunk all night."
The emperor was a little gloating, and hypocritically persuaded: "It's okay, I won't delay anything if I'm drunk." The queen won't be shy when she's drunk~ She touched me lewdly, super cute!
The two exchanged a lewd look that you know, and continued to say solemnly: "Daiyu is back, please write a note, I will send someone to tell her to bring wine to the palace, and we will have a good time together."
Zhuo Donglai got up to look for brushes and inks, the emperor hooked his hands and said, "Use my brushes." There was only one inkstone on his table, which was filled with cinnabar ink.Zhuo Donglai was also polite, picked up a brush and drew three symbols on the white paper, plus a wine jar, and blew on the ink: "Send it to the guards?"
The emperor conveniently sent someone to call Ajaan, who had returned to Beijing, to drink and chat together.
Of course, after a stick of incense, the fat black man wrapped in a tiger skin cloak came walking on the snow with two jars of wine. It was quite elegant, but the tiger skin cloak... and the white snow all over the ground made her even darker up.When I arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I handed the wine jar to Eggplant Jing (it’s enough to wear purple in winter). She was destined to be unable to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so she carried another jar to see her beloved baby Daiyu.
After passing through the Yongfu Palace, he entered smoothly.
Daiyu had already arrived in the courtyard, and when she saw the godmother wearing a tiger skin cloak who looked darker and stronger in the snow, she almost laughed out loud, and forgot all the thoughts in her heart: "Motherhood~"
Fourth Sister Wen saw the slender and handsome apprentice wearing a light blue soft robe with dark flowers and a jade belt around his waist, who became fairer and more delicate in the snow, and handed the altar to the female officer Zhaorong: "Daiyu~" Goou hand ~
Now that Daiyu has become a fairy, she doesn't care about other people's opinions, and she is happily flying~huh, it's only when she holds her up high that she feels comfortable.
Fourth Sister Wen lifted her up and turned her around in a circle, just like she did when she was a child. After putting it down, she frowned and said, "Why do I think you've lost weight again?"
Daiyu smiled and dragged her into the house: "It's just that the body is light, how can it be light to be a fairy? How can you ride a cloud if it's so heavy, you want to smash a hole in the cloud."
Fourth Sister Wen: "Hahahaha."
Lady Zhaorong struggled to hold the wine jar and followed them into the room.
The queen laughed when she saw her: "Excuse me. Zelan, why are you dressed like this? You don't have any other clothes? May I reward you with some fox fur? This tiger fur cloak looks like a bandit leader on the stage. .”
Fourth Sister Wen gave a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is so wise that she actually saw my origin."
Yao Sanlang, who was almost reduced to a background board: "Hahahaha"
The queen giggled non-stop, smiling like a girl: "You are so funny. Hee hee, sit down." She was the only one who laughed so happily that Lady Zhaorong felt that she was telling the truth, Daiyu knew It's more detailed.
Fourth Sister Wen untied the tiger-skin cloak and threw it to the maid. She sat down and said, "I was enjoying the snow and plums just now. I couldn't wear anything else. It was still cold, so I wore tiger-skin and bear-skin clothes to keep warm. After looking at the plum blossoms, I thought of green plums. It's time to drink, bring a jar to the empress."
The queen nodded slightly: "Is it sweet?"
"The sweetest jar!"
The queen thought of the sweet and sour taste, and was quite moved: "Open it and let me taste it."
Fourth Sister Wen went out again with the jar, slapped the clay at the door, and poured a pot into the silver pot brought by the maid.The jar is not big, only about five catties, and there are still many green plums in it, and there are not a few pots in total, so I'm not afraid that it will run away if it is not carefully sealed.The wine was brought back and boiled on the stove for a while, before it boiled, it was served, and a glass was poured for the queen and a glass for the little princess.
Yao Sanlang watched from the side, unbelievable: "Not mine?"
Fourth Sister Wen took out a plate with more than a dozen round green plums in it: "Here, yours~"
Yao Sanlang was really happy, he liked the fruit soaked in wine, he took out a bottle of salt from his sleeve, sprinkled a little on it, and started to eat.The taste is soft and tough, and the wine is fragrant.
The queen took a sip, and it was really sweet, sweeter than expected, which was very suitable for her taste.She doesn't like spicy food, doesn't like sour food, and doesn't like sweet food very much, but she likes sweet food when drinking!
She ordered the table, motioned the maid to pour another glass, and said very calmly, "Daiyu, Zelan, don't get involved with the Rongguo Mansion these days, even if it's in front of you, don't worry about it." .”
Only Daiyu responded to the news: "What happened to Rongguo Mansion?"
Yao San and Wen Si have forgotten all the bad things they have done, and are eating wine and plums together.
The queen smiled slightly: "It's a taboo." The emperor planned to take care of them after the filial piety period, but now that the filial piety period has come out earlier, it seems that he has to do it in advance.
The author has something to say: Empress Mingde has come back, she is really gentle and virtuous.
I won't write the part about the raid on Jia's mansion, but I will write about Jia Min and Baochai.
This book has entered the final stage, and there are still about a dozen chapters in the main text.
