[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

There are only three days until the New Year's Eve, which is the fifth year since Kaihuang's founding. The entire East Palace presents an extraordinary and lively scene. The maids accompany their masters to purchase furniture and new clothes, and the servants are responsible for carrying them. I also bought some new cloth with Que'er, so that I can give it to others to make.

Ke Jing leaned on the soft couch, basking in the sun and reading a book quietly.Because she had nothing to do, she didn't bother to comb her hair.

Looking at the woman who was so free that she could only pass the time by reading, Chunyuan couldn't sit still.

The other empresses all went out to buy this and that, and dressed themselves up in jewels. Just my own empress, like a normal person, didn't care about the atmosphere of the New Year at all.She even doubted whether the princess thought of herself as a woman. How can there be a woman who doesn't love beauty?

"Your Majesty, the prince has sent you clothes." Dongmei and several other maidservants came to Kejing wearing neatly folded clothes.

Chunyuan was stunned, and it took a while to recover.

No wonder the Crown Princess is so calm. It turned out that someone had already prepared it, so she just said, women love beauty.

"Well, let's put it away." Ke Jing closed the book, and ordered Chun Yuan, "Xiao Yuanzi, change this palace's clothes."

Just when Chunyuan Pidianpidian was about to get the new clothes, he heard Ke Jing say: "It's not that one, it's the plain one in the box."

ah?Chun Yuan's eyes widened.Wear plain colors for Chinese New Year?Isn't it bad luck?

"I'm going to see an old friend."

"Oh." Chunyuan said resentfully, and then obediently turned out the plain cotton jacket with narrow sleeves that was pressed at the bottom of the box.

A drapery hat covers the top of the head, with black gauze on the brim, covering the face.

Uncle Li had already been waiting outside the door, Ke Jing took Qiu Tang and Chun Yuan into the carriage, and went to the border of the inner city.

The place where the civilian houses in the inner city were burned down before has now built an ancestral hall. As early as when the ancestral hall was just completed, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered a group of monks to practice chanting, with the aim of saving the souls of the dead.However, after the drought in Chang'an, the ancestral hall became a refuge for those affected by the disaster. Kejing was here to help the victims by distributing relief food and clothing to them.

There are several wooden plaques in the ancestral hall, engraved with the names of the people who died in the fire. In addition to Kejing, many relatives of the deceased also come here to visit, chant scriptures and send Buddha, praying that their spirits in heaven can rest in peace .

Ke Jing came to a wooden sign and quietly looked at the name on the sign.

Her veil had not been taken off, but Chunyuan could still feel a faint heartache in the silence.

Not long after Shui Sixin's accident, Kejing has been looking for Shui Sixin's family members, but the information he got was that Shui Sixin's parents had already passed away, leaving behind the Shui sisters, she and her younger sister Shui Lingxin were died in that fire.

Ever since it was discovered that the fire was man-made, Ke Jing quietly ordered Qiu Tang to spy secretly.

Shui Sixin died because of her, even if it was just an accident, she would still give the Shui sisters some peace.

Then, Huozhezi from the imperial palace became the main cause of the fire. Although she and Shui Sixin didn't have a deep relationship, it was just a relationship between a doctor and a patient, but after all, Shui Sixin helped her recuperate her body, and she appreciated Shui Sixin very much. Si Xin's medical skills and meticulous thoughts have always been wanted to be used for herself, so she gave Shui Si Xin a lot of space to think about.

Confidante has had such a bad life since ancient times, but for some reason, she secretly told herself that Shui Sixin might still be alive in this world, waiting for her to find it in some corner, even if those corpses were charred black and deformed and unrecognizable. It was determined that one of them belonged to Shui Sixin.

"Your Majesty, let's go." Qiutang reminded Kejing.

They can't come out for too long, there is a traitor in the East Palace, and they always want to use Ke Jing's handle to make a big splash, wishing they could put her to death.But now they can't touch the traitor. What Ke Jing means is that if you want to catch the big one, even if you can't catch the big one, you have to give the other party a fatal blow.

"Yeah." After clearing up her mood, Ke Jing turned around and walked outside the door. Just as her feet crossed the threshold, she stopped.

A woman in plain linen clothes and a veil passed by her, and Ke Jing could faintly smell the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

"Niang Niang?" Chun Yuan called out to her.

Smiling at Chunyuan, Kejing shook his head to indicate that she was fine, looked back at the woman who was lighting incense, and then left the ancestral hall with Chunyuan and the others.Just turning out the door, she met someone she didn't want to see.

"Sister-in-law Huang..." Yang Guang stood in front of Kejing and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to come to visit them too."

Ke Jing nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "I have seen it, young master."

"Sister-in-law," Yang Guang called Ke Jing who was about to leave, and invited, "If you don't mind, how about having dinner together?"

In Qingya Building, Yang Guang purposely chose a seat by the window and sat by the railing.Ke Jing sat opposite him, Qiu Tang and Chun Yuan stood on both sides of her.

The dishes served were refreshing and stomach-warming. Three dishes plus a bowl of soup were just enough for two people. I have to admit that Yang Guang is a person who knows how to live.

"Sister-in-law Huang, come and try this dish, it is good for the spleen and stomach."

Ke Jing was not in a hurry to pick up the chopsticks, but pretended to be casual and said: "Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Jin is also a compassionate person."

The hand holding the food paused, Yang Guang put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the emperor's wife was so sympathetic to the common people, and cared so much for the dead. Before, the emperor's wife did her best to help the refugees, she really has a bodhisattva heart." .”

"Heh heh, it's a good thing to be rewarded, and it's right to share some things for the father. The father is old and needs someone to help him, so that he can concentrate on unifying the world."

"What the emperor's wife said is that if the other concubines of the emperor's sister-in-law can also care about the world and the people like the emperor's wife, then the emperor's brother doesn't have to worry about housework, but with the emperor's wife, the ministers So don't worry, the sister-in-law and the emperor's brother can be of the same heart, which is also a good thing for the emperor's enthronement in the future, just like the queen mother helping the father, the eldest brother must become a wise king."

Kejing covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness King Jin is really flattering you. All I can do is write about trivial matters. In fact, in terms of wisdom and talent, His Highness is also a dragon and a phoenix. Afterwards, the Sui Dynasty will surely become a great country, and the prosperity of the country and the people will be passed on for generations.”

"I think at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might really be able to become a good emperor." As she spoke, there was an emotion similar to nostalgia in her eyes, like a woman who just fell in love looking at the man she loves, sinking both physically and mentally.

"Of course I want to help elder brother, and I also ask sister-in-law to remind my younger brother more." Eyes darkened, Yang Guang said, "Sister-in-law and elder brother are so affectionate, I really envy others."

He stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, but found that the arm was not long enough. Ke Jing retracted it resentfully, and said, "It's a fate to meet thousands of miles away. Your Highness is so outstanding, and I will definitely find a good marriage."

In the conversation between you and me, the meal passed like this, Ke Jing thanked Yang Guang again for his hospitality, and the two separated at the door of the restaurant.

When returning to the East Palace, Dongmei told that the prince had been waiting in Fengqiyuan for a long time.

Ever since she helped those victims in the drought, but Kejing attributed the credit to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty and gave him great admiration, Yang Yong was no longer indifferent to her, but respected her more.

But the two knew in their hearts that it was not the love between men and women, but a kind of respect similar to that between friends, Yang Yong's respect for her.

Ke Jing stepped into Fengqiyuan, and saw Yang Yong sitting at the desk reading a book.Today he was wearing a dark blue double-breasted padded jacket with the pattern of auspicious clouds drawn with silver threads, and his hair was all tied up in the nine-clawed lin dragon golden crown, and he looked very high-spirited.

"Your Highness."

Yang Yong raised his head, saw Ke Jing who had taken off his veiled hat, and asked, "Have you gone to the border town?"

"Correct."

"Come in and enjoy the fire first."

There was a charcoal fire in the stove, Ke Jing put his hands on top of the stove to warm the fire, Yang Yong continued to read his book, no one said anything.

This is how they get along with each other. Yang Yong would occasionally come to Fengqi Garden to sit and sit, but he didn't stay for a long time. Sometimes the two of them discussed some issues, or about political affairs, or about the finances of the East Palace; sometimes Kejing read books, and Yang Yong wrote poems; Playing chess together takes half a day.

And no matter how late he stayed in Fengqiyuan, he would not stay overnight.

This kind of respectful way of getting along with each other makes Kejing seem comfortable, but Chunyuan, the housekeeper beside her, can't stand it.Finally, the relationship between the empress and His Royal Highness improved, but the concubine was not seen to be pregnant for a long time. In this era where mothers depend on their children, children are still very important. Moreover, according to Queer, Feng Qingxuan's high empress has been retching recently. I also like to eat sour things...

"I've prepared some jewelry for you, and you can wear them when you worship the New Year the day after tomorrow." After closing the book, Yang Yong looked at Ke Jing and said, "The princess's attire should not make people feel too poor, and the New Year should be more joyous. "After speaking, he put on a wide-sleeved fur cloak and left Fengqi Garden.

"Your Majesty, here are the things His Royal Highness sent." Dongmei presented a small mahogany box and opened it.

Seeing the jewelry inside, Chunyuan's eyes lit up instantly.These exquisitely crafted and clearly textured jewelry are not just like picking cabbage on the street.

"Your Highness has a lot of heart for your empress." Picking out an exquisite pure gold oval bracelet, Chun Yuan gestured to Ke Jing's delicate white hand.

This button-shaped gold bracelet is divided into five sections. The two ends of the sections are inlaid with hemispherical, transparent and colorless beads, and each section is connected by a square section inlaid with turquoise glass beads.One end of the bracelet is a petal-shaped buckle inlaid with six small beads, the other end is a hook inlaid with a bead, and the end of the hook and ring is a living shaft that can be opened and closed freely.

Chunyuan looked at the bracelet in the sunlight, only felt a layer of warm fluorescent light wrapped the bracelet, it was indescribably beautiful.

"gorgeous……"

Provoked into a chuckle by Chun Yuan's exclamation, Ke Jing raised his head, saw the glittering golden bracelet in her hand, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Everyone has a love of beauty, even if Ke Jing didn't pay too much attention to dressing up outside, he was attracted by the bracelet.

It's not that she hasn't seen beautiful jewelry before, but she still doesn't see such a gorgeous and delicate bracelet. In the past, she didn't have such a beautiful bracelet as a dowry when she married the princess.

"If you need help, just say it, what's the point?"

"What are men for? Aren't they for a woman to rely on when she needs it most?"

That was the first time she was helped by Yang Yong. He carried her into Fengqiyuan with her sprained feet, which gave her the illusion of being protected.The past years have passed, and he is his incompetent prince, while she keeps a low profile, hides her edge, deals with her opponents in secret, protects herself and at the same time increases her wings to fight back.

However, inadvertently, she would still think of the scene of that day in the dead of night.

"Mistress? Mistress!"

Ke Jing suddenly came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "Put it away, these things are not needed now."

Chunyuan's little face collapsed immediately, but she could only follow her instructions to put away the jewelry box.

You obviously look very happy, why don't you want to face it for real?Maybe she should make plans for her master.

The author has something to say: the second part is to hide the edge, waiting for the final blow

There will be emotional interaction, hehe!Hope you like it~
