a pillow in autumn

In the early morning of the next day, the maids of Prince Rui's Mansion brought their spare items and entered the bedroom one by one. Shen Xianxun stood in front of the large bronze mirror of water chestnut flowers, and personally changed Zhou Mubai into the imperial royal clothes for entering the palace.

The single clothes and curtains of crimson gauze are embroidered with lilong satin, which has been smoked with ambergris, which is commonly used by the royal family. On the water corner of the brocade robe, there is "the end of the sea", and the billowing smoke waves are like stormy waves.

Shen Xianxun lowered her head slightly, carefully tidying up Mubai's lapel, her fingertips as thin as green onions repeatedly slid across the embroidery of auspicious clouds and dark patterns, leather belt hooks, curved collar square heart, every inch The temperature is full of nostalgia and reluctance.

A golden lotus in the sky is placed under the sill window, the window drawer is open, the spring sun falls on the golden calyx, and the slender light green stems and leaves sway, like an unpredictable future fluttering in the drizzle and breeze.

Zhou Mubai waved his hand, and the maids all retreated out.She nodded slightly, and pressed her forehead against Shen Xianxun's. After a while, she said softly, "Don't be afraid. Since Brother Huang didn't do anything that day, he won't do it now."

"En." Xian Xun pursed her lips and snorted, slipped her hands down and hugged her waist, her face pressed against her neck, soft and tender.

The two of them held each other for a while, Shuyao said hello in the outer room, it's time to go out.

Mu Bai grabbed Xian Xun's catkin and put it to his lips for a kiss, "I'll be back when I submit the application at most, you wait for me to eat together."

Xian Xun recalled yesterday's horrific morning, and she really let go a lot today, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a playful smile: "Do you use cabbage?"

Mu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, gritted his teeth and made a fierce look.

Shuyao outside looked at the time and had no choice but to remind: "Your Highness, don't miss the time today."

As soon as the words fell, the carved door opened left and right, Zhou Mubai opened the curtain and came out with a smug face.

Shuyao couldn't see clearly, so she waited for her out of the door of the dormitory, and then turned back to the inner room, and saw the princess sitting in front of the dressing table with her back to the door, getting a little closer, as if she was looking at something delicate.

"What's the matter, master?" Shuyao hurried forward, thinking that maybe the pollen got a rash on the spring day.

Unexpectedly, Xian Xun said categorically: "Don't come here!" She covered her face with a towel as she said.

Shuyao was startled, she stopped two or three steps away.After a while, he respectfully said: "I remember that there is still a box of jasper mint ointment in the room. Last time when Siyuan had a rash, he asked Doctor Pei to make it up. So I found it and put it on for the master?"

Xian Xun knows that she has misunderstood, but what can people say about this matter.

She twisted her body and angered Zhou Mubai ten thousand times in her heart, but her heart was slightly joyful, just like when she kissed her for the first time.

Shuyao pointed to the two little girls, and went with her to the red sandalwood cabinet where the storage was stored, and finally found a small porcelain cup filled with jasper mint ointment, and brought it to Princess Rui.

Xian Xun said: "Let's all go down. I have to rest for a while, so I don't need to come in to serve."

Seeing that she had been covering her face with a veil, Shuyao had no choice but to go over and open a few flower windows to let the room breathe.After opening the window, she saluted, "Master, don't go to the garden today, it seems that there are too many flowers in the garden, and the pollen is washed in. If today is bad, I'd like to invite little doctor Pei to come and have a look."

Xian Xun responded vigorously, and when the maids all retreated, the door closed again.

She put down the handkerchief in her hand and sat down in front of the dressing table to take a look. Her delicate face was reflected in the bronze mirror, but on the jade-like side face, there was a small ring of tooth marks that had faded.

Xian Xun pressed her fingertips on the tooth marks, her face flushed slightly, but the marks did not disappear.She gritted her teeth, and said coquettishly: "This little cabbage can still bully people!"

Well, she forgot, in fact, she has always been bullying (up) bullying (down) her.

Because of Zhou Mubai's disturbance, Shen Xianxun was not as panicked as before.The furniture in the dormitory were all made to measure. She sat in front of the carved rosewood desk and picked up a book. The pages were slightly curled, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

The window drawers are all open, a little bit cold.The sunlight is excellent, through the carved window lattice, golden squares fall on the blue-gray floor tiles one by one, and the large velvet blanket is embroidered with endless hibiscus flowers, which are laid out on the blue tiles. feel warm.

Incense was burning in the small copper cauldron, and this year's new tribute of white plum ice flakes was used by the palace. The queen mother thought of Prince Rui, and asked Guang Chusi to send half a catty of small cakes. Put a small piece into the tripod, and it can be rendered as a forest of wintersweet branches.

Shen Xianxun turned over a page of the book and was gradually immersed in the fragrance of books.

I don't know how long it has passed, and suddenly there is a commotion outside, Xian Xun doesn't know what happened, and there is no girl around.She raised her voice, "Shu Yao."

Siyuan opened the door and came in, "Shuyao went to the small kitchen. I heard that the young lady had a rash caused by pollen blowing on her face. She went to tell the cooks and cooks to avoid cold things like shrimps and crabs."

Xian Xun covered her face while listening, noncommittal.The noise outside was even worse, Xian Xun said: "Go out and see what happened."

Before the words were finished, Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoguozi rushed to the bedroom, kowtowed their heads when they got outside, and shouted with joy on their faces: "My lord, I am overjoyed! Overjoyed! Our Highness has been conferred the title of prince." Already!!!"

The halls are deep and wide, and the eaves are glazed. Walking in the period, it is inevitable to feel small.Zhou Mubai walked along the long middle road to Chengjin Hall, and when he met ministers of the same dynasty on the way, they all saluted her and greeted her.

Prince Rui was detained in the palace for a few days, and returned to the palace unscathed. The courtiers talked a lot, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this incident was over.

Today, His Majesty might condemn General Wei Jinpeng, but Prince Rui's treacherous trip to the western frontier was probably "a royal family member who is responsible for guarding the country".

In the Chengjin Hall, Zhou Muchen sat in the dragon chair and listened to the performances of the officials.Civil and military officials each have their own scriptures, and there is no lack of tit-for-tat in the hall, and there will always be a solution.

After everything was over, the hall gradually fell silent.Zhou Mubai stood in front of the officials, lowering his eyelashes slightly.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Baohu Qizuo, the guilty minister Wei Jinpeng was originally a member of the third rank of the imperial court. He left his post for his own private interests and traveled thousands of miles to guard. He has bowed his head and brought him to justice for various crimes. Please be judged by Your Majesty.

Wei Jinpeng's hair was disheveled, he was only wearing a plain white shirt, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was escorted to the hall by two Jinwu guards in the palace.

During this period, everyone in the court was aware of the matter, and most people in the main hall today are guessing whether this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for joint trial.Although the former Crown Princess unfortunately passed away early, but His Majesty has conferred the title of Empress Rende, which shows that there is still great friendship.

And after all, Wei Jinpeng is the uncle of the current crown prince, a serious relative of the emperor.

Some even wondered if it was a coincidence that Prince Rui was also in the court hall, or if he rushed here knowing that General Wei was returning to the capital, whether he would bring out his military achievements as last time, and refute the emperor's face.

A few courtiers who had always been at odds with Wei Jinpeng watched from afar, with expressions of watching a play appearing on their faces.

Zhou Muchen's eyes were clean, and he didn't care about everyone's thoughts, he just asked indifferently: "What did Ai Qing find out in the trial yesterday?"

Everyone in the court was slightly shocked, and their eyes showed surprise.Wei Jinpeng entered the capital yesterday, and the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation went so far as to interrogate him overnight?And obviously, this matter was ordered by the emperor, and the clues in it made people have to think deeply.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took two steps forward, presenting a booklet with both hands.He talked eloquently and quoted scriptures, and in the end, the crime of disregarding the holy order, disrespecting the order and disrespecting the order, and threatening death was lightly attributed to the crime of inevitable but excusable.

The courtiers looked at each other.

The minister of the Ministry of War wanted to put his nephew into the army, and he had been at odds with General Wei for a long time, so he stood up at this time, before he could speak, the emperor raised his hand, and said softly: "After the meritorious officials, deal with them leniently. "

What else do the ministers not understand?

The matter was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and the letter was agreed upon.Wei Jinpeng didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and when the dust was about to fall, he was escorted away from the hall by the two Jinwu guards in front.

Some of the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, some frowned, and most of them looked calm and calm.In short, the ups and downs of the officialdom, so many years, have seen too many ups and downs.

Zhou Mubai's heart trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the lofty elder brother Huang.

Zhou Muchen on the gold-plated dragon chair was calm and steady, and made a gesture to Quan Jing'an. Quan Jing'an bowed, swept the whisk, inserted it (on) his back waist, hugged a roll of bright yellow imperial decree, and sang: "Rui The prince accepts the order."

Zhou Mubai took two steps forward, lifted his robe and knelt down.

Quan Jing'an read in a slender voice: "Following the heaven's support, the emperor's edict said: distribute the Mao soil, and use it as a fan screen in the imperial family; No. Yan Tianhuang's assignment, courtesy and love.

The grand ceremony rewards mediocrity, and Xinlun orders the noble..."

He just thought about it, and everyone in the hall had already changed their expressions several times. Although they didn't dare to speak yet, they had already speculated many times in secret.

Just listen to Grandpa Quan continue: "Prince Rui Zhou Mubai is the third son of Emperor Kao Shengzu, and my younger brother. Chun Jin has long been known, diligent and diligent, filial piety is formed by nature, and the son's way is not bad; Qing Cao Focus on life, do not slack in practice; think about the meticulousness of the cardinal, and see the calmness of the etiquette."

He paused for a moment, then raised his voice a little bit: "I am conferring a book of treasures, making you King Rui, and granting Yunzhou, Fuzhou, Chengzhou and other three prefectures and twelve counties as fiefs, which will not be replaced forever. Add food There are [-] households in the town, and [-] households are sealed off for food; the rock is solid for thousands of years, especially for the eternal reputation. Keep the Qing Dynasty and repair it without sacrificing, and Dun Sulu will never change. King Zhuo Lingrui chooses a day to go, and then encourages Jiayou , Shut up with Yang, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing unless he is summoned! Qin Zai!"

An imperial decree is considered at both ends.

Prince Rui was enfeoffed as Prince Rui, and one was enfeoffed with three prefectures and twelve counties including Yunzhou. From then on, he opened a mansion and built a tooth, enjoyed food towns and real seals, and could have up to [-] mansion soldiers.another...

Unless you are called, you are not allowed to enter Beijing!

Although there is a lot of grace, but it is unavoidable to be vigilant in the open and in the dark.This is honey is also rewarded, but the stick is also on.The courtiers looked at each other and congratulated the royal family one after another.

Zhou Mubai was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed his head to thank him.When he raised his head again, he saw Zhou Muchen was also looking at her, his brows and eyes showed the loyalty that he had shoulder to shoulder in the battlefield back then.

After all the doubts and suspicions, no matter how much slander and disturbance, in the end, he still believed her.

Zhou Mubai smiled, open and aboveboard.

Achievement, success, fame, retreat, the way of heaven.

After the court dispersed, all the ministers bowed their hands to congratulate Prince Rui, and Prince Rui returned the salute modestly. After exchanging greetings with Qi Kuo, Quan Jing'an slipped over from the side and discounted Qian'er and said, "Congratulations to Prince Rui, congratulations to Prince Rui. Your Majesty is I'll wait for you later, let's go together to greet the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Mubai nodded and followed him to the emperor.

The emperor wore a jade crown and stood tall. When he saw her coming, he took a deep look at her and suddenly said, "Third brother, you have grown up."

The white circles of Zhou Mu's eyes were slightly red, and for some reason, he thought of Zhou Lin.

Zhou Muchen patted her on the shoulder, said nothing more, and went to Jinyu Palace together with her.

Outside the north gate of the imperial palace, the drivers of Prince Rui's Mansion were still waiting at the carriages and horses. Seeing that the court had dispersed inside and the courtiers came out in twos and threes, it was different from the past, it seemed that it was more lively today.

The twelve personal guards of Prince Rui's mansion are all the sons and daughters of the official family, and they have been fascinated by it since childhood. Now when they heard that the court workers were inseparable from their own prince, they all pricked up their ears, and a few even saw their father or familiar elders. , sneaked over to inquire about it.

It's okay if you don't want to find out, but when you find out, everyone is very happy. The head of the bodyguard is more prudent, and he winked the brothers back, and sent a clever one back to the palace to report the news, and the rest all held their breaths. , stood up straight, but was a bit more honest than usual.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, the imperial decree came down, and Prince Rui returned to the residence.

The car was no longer the one that went out earlier, but the golden saddle with the top of the treasure given by the emperor, five four-seaters, full of royal guards, five armies clearing the way, accompanied by a pair of court servants holding various umbrellas and feathers as rewards. .

The chariot returned to the gate of the palace, and there were two rows of servants standing outside the gate, all kneeling with their hands down.The twelve personal guards got off their horses together and entered the mansion to welcome Prince Rui.

Princess Rui led the whole family to kneel down in the courtyard again, and the sound of congratulations was like thunder and waves.Zhou Mubai had already changed into Rui Wangguan's clothes, and walked forward step by step.

With her support, Shen Xianxun raised her head and saw a pair of bright and smiling eyes.

"Princess." She bent her bright eyes.

Xian Xun smiled softly, a thin layer of water mist appeared in his eyes, and Mu Bai felt his heart melt when he saw it.

The author has something to say: Suspend life against Yang: A gentleman seeks to curb and promote goodness, and he suspends his life in accordance with the sky.Fan Chen often uses it when receiving gifts from the emperor, and it has the meaning of thanking and praising.

It is estimated that some friends will ask this word, write it here first, and use it as a note.

Hard-working author Bacteria, praise yourself.Hey hey.

Blue Rain threw a rocket launcher;

Mr. Xiao Xueye smashed a grenade;

One and a half knots hit a landmine.

Hey, thank you for your rewards.Very happy. (^o^)/~hug one!
