Huaigui

Xia, Luoyang, Ziwei City.

The sunny weather was unbearably hot, and in the shade under the willows on the palace wall, a few palace maids were walking eastward with their utensils, and could not help whispering along the way-the decades-long scene was too numb, chewing their tongues Although immoral, it has become the only pleasure for these palace maids and servants.

No one was guarding the left and right, the maidservants walked slowly, and their voices gradually became louder.

"The one in the Eastern Palace was only a maidservant... With her secluded appearance, it's hard to believe that she can fly up to a branch and become a phoenix!"

"Shh, if you want me to say it depends on whether you can live up to your expectations, in case it's a princess—"

"Even if it's the emperor's grandson, so what? Maybe there's something hidden..."

"What secret?"

"Oh, don't you know? That happy thing has been kept from the crown prince, but later his stomach became visible... If it is really the prince's flesh and blood, is it necessary to hide it like this? Let me see. Not good, it’s a secret tangle with some messy people—”

"No way, that guy who looked so silent, could he do such a rebellious thing?"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is already in his stomach, why is the crown prince still ignoring her? Isn't it obvious that there is something tricky?" the leading maid said triumphantly, and walked towards the corner.

The next moment, the sandalwood tray she was holding fell to the ground suddenly, and immediately behind her everyone knelt down.

The willow trees shade the vermilion palace walls, and the sunlight casts a bright color on the glazed tiles.At the corner at the end of the corridor, Gao Jing stood there quietly in a light blue crepe dress.

"Kowtow, kowtow to see His Royal Highness..."

After saying goodbye, no one spoke, and the maidservants knew that they had made a slip of the tongue, shaking like chaff.

With plain white and slender fingers, he picked up the dress that fell on the ground, a tribute from Southern Chu, the best material and the best embroidery, and it was a little gray after being stained with flower petals and dust.

Gao Jing looked at the pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the corner of the skirt, and stroked the traces of stitches patiently.He didn't ask questions, those palace maids didn't have the guts to lift their heads, they let them kneel on their knees, and the other things in the tray were put aside casually, how could they mean to be half precious?

Aman, who was beside Gao Jing, gave them a squinting look and asked, "Where are you going?"

The leading servant girl looked up, and then quickly fell on the ground: "Return to... Hui Gongzheng, the servants are from Si Yifang, and they are about to send Xiao Meiren's new clothes..."

Hearing this, Amang covered his mouth and laughed: "I heard all that just now."

The heads of the maidservants in the palace were almost stuck to the ground: "Miss Amang! Aunt... my lord! The servants also listened to what others said! Please Your Highness, please spare your life, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The pleadings kept ringing in his ears, but Gao Jing turned a deaf ear, as if he was talking to himself, "Who did you listen to?"

No matter how different his voice was from the immature and crisp voice when he was a teenager, his soft voice was very royally upbringing, and because it was so low, it sounded gentle, but none of the palace maids dared to respond.

A'Mang restrained his smile: "Your Highness is asking you something."

"It's... from the Eastern Palace... the lamp-sitter of the Eastern Palace, Miss..."

Gao Jing lowered his eyes, let go of his fingers, and the dress fell lightly on the ground.Then he stepped over the maidservant and walked forward without looking sideways.

Amang didn't keep up, clapped his hands together and clapped a few times, and a few iron-faced guards appeared in the dark immediately.She glanced at the shivering people on the ground, and said: "His Royal Highness wants to save their lives, to make an example to others, pull out their tongues, and send them to Yeting - if Si Yifang asks, you just tell the truth. "

The leader stood up and nodded, silently responding.

Aman gave them a salute, and then chased in the direction Gao Jing was going.

Outside Luhua Hall, Gao Jing's expression didn't change much, and he glanced at her indifferently.However, Aman felt that he was already furious, and hurriedly said: "The slave will deal with it later."

Gao Jing said "hmm", and Aman said to comfort him: "Your Highness, those people... just let the servants handle it, and you will not hear similar words in the future."

"Really?" Gao Jing smiled and frowned, "Hear it again, and you know what I will do."

Amang held back his clothes and said, "One more thing. Earlier, His Highness asked the servant to check the origin of the earring, and the servant has already found out. The person who sold it at the pawnshop is called Xie Bi, a failed scholar, and now he is no longer in Luoyang."

"Then does he have a family?"

"Your Highness, his parents died of illness five years ago, and the person who depended on each other was Doctor Qin from the Yongjiafang Medical Center. The servant ordered two shadow guards to watch the medical center day and night. If Doctor Qin had contact with Xie Bi, he would find him as soon as possible. he."

Gao Jing pondered and said: "Well done, we must find it—let's go back to the East Palace."

Not long after the beginning of summer, the imperial doctor Amang invited to check Yang Fuqu's pulse brought good news. Yang Fuqu's insomnia, sweating, and loss of appetite at night were all due to a three-month fetus in her womb.

It was a good thing, but when Amang heard it, she felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She knew where the child came from, so she didn't dare to make her own claims, so she hurriedly asked Gao Jing.It was extremely hot that day, and a heavy rain was coming. After hearing the news, Gao Jing was silent for a long time, and then showed an expression that seemed to be crying but not smiling, and asked her to suppress the news.

It wasn't until the loose clothes couldn't hide her stomach that Yang Fuqu was pregnant before Empress Dugu found out.Immediately afterwards, the emperor, who heard this, beamed with joy, and called Gao Jing sensible, issued a decree to reward countless precious treasures for the East Palace, and also made Yang Fuchu the crown prince's side concubine registered in the book, which is extremely honorable.

Now the emperor ordered the imperial doctor to check the concubine's pulse on a regular basis and drink bowl after bowl of anti-fetal medicine. The East Palace has added many people to take care of Yang Fuqu. Gao Jing ignored her and fell into the queen's arms.

But Gao Jing didn't pretend to be indifferent, he really couldn't be happy.

He had never met Yang Fuqu, and counting the days, the child in her belly came from the absurdity of that night, if it was born, Gao Jing didn't know how to deal with it.

Helan Mingyue is gone. At this time, God gave him Mingyue's flesh and blood, is it mocking him for his incompetence?Or are you pitying him, knowing that he has regretted it, and giving him a chance to make up?

But what can he make up for?

There are people who are ridiculed and ridiculed twice in three days, and there are palace maids who dare to gossip even before they are born!

The more Gao Jing thought about it, the more angry he became, and as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he deliberately threw a jade cup to vent his anger.

The palace people knelt on the ground, wondering why this highness was going crazy—since he was named the crown prince, Gao Jing has become more and more favored by the emperor in political affairs, but his temper is even more strange in private.

Even though Gao Jing was not spoiled by the emperor and empress, he was brought up pampered. He was used to being domineering when he was a child. Later, he learned the word forbearance without a teacher.After everyone thought he was sensible, he went back to the past intensified. He couldn't tell his emotions when he was cold-faced. There are so many people in the Eastern Palace that are not enough for him to explode.

Seeing that he was angry, Aman waved his sleeves to make the others retreat, and handed over an ivory bowl again: "Your Highness, would you like to taste some of the rose dew newly made by the imperial kitchen this summer?"

"Not in the mood." After Gao Jing sat down, he picked up a book and flipped through it.

"The servant will take it away." Amon bowed his head.She was about to bring out the rose dew, when someone from the outside communicated, A Ping, the female officer next to the queen, came with a look of arrogance.

Aman took back his steps, stood beside Gao Jing, and bowed to Aping: "I have seen Shang Gong."

The female officer didn't even look at her, she made a gesture, and the waiter behind her brought out a bowl of black soup, which seemed so thick that it couldn't be melted.

Gao Jing raised his eyebrows calmly: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"According to the mother's will, this is the medicine given to the master." A Ping raised her chin slightly, not afraid of Gao Jing, "The mother has often heard some dirty words recently, please make a decision, Your Highness."

After saying that, she gave a wink, and the servant carefully carried it over, and was about to hand it over to Aman, when Gao Jing raised his hand to stop it.

Of course he knew what the other party meant, A Ping was the queen's spokesperson, since Gao Jing could hear those gossip, the queen couldn't pretend not to know.The queen has always been aware of his abnormal hobby, and she is full of defenses against the child in Yang Fuqu's womb, and Gao Jing also feels that it will be a matter of course.

A bowl of abortion pills, she is testing Gao Jing.

If it is really your own flesh and blood, you don't have to let her drink it;

If not, Gao Jing, what are you going to do?If you can uncover this layer and still be the queen's closest son and ally, if you really bear the humiliation and bear the burden of keeping a child who does not belong to the royal family, will you be able to withstand other dangers in the future?

Gao Jingqiang suppressed his anger, and walked slowly to Aping: "There is no need for the Queen Mother to worry about her affairs. You can either take this bowl of medicine back intact, or drink it."

A Ping narrowed her eyes: "The servant is just passing on a message, how to deal with it is up to His Highness."

"Really?" Gao Jing slightly raised his cuffs, picked up the bowl of pitch-black medicine from the wooden tray held by the waiter, and turned to her, "Then you should look carefully for the queen mother now."

After saying that, Gao Jing slammed the medicine bowl towards a blooming peony not far away.

The broken porcelain pieces exploded with a crisp sound, and then the medicine bowl collapsed to pieces, the thick medicine juice dripped out in ugly shapes, and even the beautiful peony was wilted all of a sudden.

"Bring a message to the mother, don't do anything in vain again." Gao Jing looked at A Ping, flicked the concoction on his cuff, "Go back and report to your life."

A Ping's lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

She left with the servant, and immediately someone came in with his head down and cleaned up the mess.Gao Jing felt bored, walked around the screen to the bedroom deep in the East Palace, Aman thought about it, and followed step by step.

When he reached the door, Gao Jing turned his head and asked her, "What do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, the servant has said it, so don't be angry." Aman said cheekily, "The servant knows you don't want to listen, but someone has to persuade you."

Gao Jing felt something, and said impatiently: "Then don't say it."

Aman knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Highness, what is the identity of Yang Niangniang's child? If it's a girl, it's fine. There won't be any big troubles. But what if it's a boy? That's the eldest son of the Eastern Palace, His Majesty's son." Eldest grandson, in case he has excellent aptitude, let alone other...how will you choose then?"

Gao Jing said indifferently: "Then this is fate, and I will give it back to him."

"Do you know the consequences of this!" Aman's upper body was stuck to the ground, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious, "I don't want you to act emotionally. The current plan is to take advantage of the child's birth—"

"so what?!"

Gao Jing kicked the heavy wooden door of the dormitory abruptly, and the surrounding was suddenly silent after the loud noise.

When he heard Amon cry, he couldn't help the tip of his nose sore.

The sky is long and the summer is harmonious.The Gao family of Beining is sitting on a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and he has already half touched the resplendent dragon chair, but he is lonely like never before.

That person, he really wanted to stay by his side for the rest of his life, but at the time he didn't know how to cherish it, and he didn't understand the meaning of He Lan Mingyue's words "I like you the most".When these words came to his ears, he had already made a big mistake. He couldn't apologize, and he didn't even have a chance to correct it in his whole life, but Gao Jing insisted on going his own way and couldn't turn back.

He thought that the person was gone, if he could leave a little trace of Mingyue's life, even if he was scolded, so what?

How ridiculous is this decision? Can Gao Jing not know?He just wanted to try, to see if the kid would have those familiar gray eyes too.

Back then, he wanted to keep Helan Mingyue, but he lost him without taking any action. He almost missed Yan Ziyu.Now it was too late for him to find Helan Mingyue back.

After a long while, Gao Jing walked towards the dormitory without looking back: "This is Mingyue's child, and she is also alone. This matter has been decided, and no one will mention it again in the future!"

The carved door closed abruptly, and Amon knelt on the spot, tears streaming down his face when he raised his head.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Fuqu accidentally fell down and suffered from abdominal cramps. She was put on the bed immediately. She almost walked through the gate of hell.

Her struggling cries and the mother-in-law's constant comfort came from the sweltering delivery room. Gao Jinghong stood outside the door for half a night with her eyes still, holding the smoky purple jade earring in her hand.He looked down repeatedly, clenched and loosened from time to time, and didn't care if the sharp earhook scratched his palm.

Until dawn, Gao Jing went to court on time, but he still didn't hear the baby's loud cry.He walked in a hurry, with a tired face that hadn't slept all night, and he listened absent-mindedly to the watch, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

As soon as the court was gone, he saw the green grass that had been waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall for a long time.

He walked over, and held the earring in his sleeve calmly—before taking it back, Yanshanxue was the only thing Gao Jing could feel at ease with. Now the earring is smaller and easier to carry, and he can't leave it at every step— — Staring at the grass with red eyes, he said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Qingcao hurriedly said: "Haven't...not born yet, I saw red just now, the imperial doctor is afraid...afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Jing's face changed, and he threw him away and walked quickly to the East Palace.

In the 18 years of his life, he was rarely in such a state of embarrassment. His heart was beating wildly, and he dared not open his mouth to speak, fearing that it would jump out of his throat immediately and vomit a pool of blood.Gao Jing almost trotted all the way back to the East Palace. He completely lost his dignified etiquette, and stopped in front of the door panting.

Then the midwife came out anxiously, and said, "Your Highness, your majesty—"

Almost at the same moment as she spoke, there was a cry of a baby in the room, and everyone froze on the spot.

Gao Jing pinched his palm, and slowly let out the stale air accumulated in his chest.

He asked, "What day is today?"

On the first day of September in the 18th year of Jingming, Yang Fuqu gave birth to a baby girl. Her skin was as white as snow, but her pupils were extremely dark black. After the first bath, she could see her beautiful outline.The emperor was overjoyed and gave the name "Si" to pardon the world.

The queen asked what Gao Jing meant, and Gao Jing said, "Let's call it Sichan."

Dugu pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it Xia Chan's cicada? I miss Xia Chan in autumn, and there is a special charm."

Gao Jing looked directly into her eyes, waited for the other party's smile to fade away, and then said seriously: "Sichan, Chanjuan's Chan."

The queen's expression froze and she left angrily.

However, the conflict between the East Palace and the North Palace was not taken seriously by the emperor. His illness seemed to have improved after the birth of Sichan, and he was able to go to court by himself.

The emperor's first decree was to dispatch the Linhai Prince's army, who had been idle for many years, to guard the front line of the Huaihe River.

Although the title has not yet been given, this first grandson of the emperor has also brought blessings to the whole of Beining: a month later, Li Qi in Nanchu died of illness, and Li Yan and Li Huan immediately tore their faces because of the position of the king. When they came to the Beining iron cavalry, they turned the world upside down first, and Linhai went south to station troops in Jiangdu.

Three months later, on the New Year's Day, the army formed by Linhai and the Chinese Army won a big victory.

Li Yan died in the battle of crossing the river and besieging the city. Li Huan enshrined the national seal and completely surrendered to Beining. The territory was changed to a state and county according to the northern system.Jiangning was renamed Runzhou Prefecture, and the Li family was trapped in their hometown forever. From then on, there was only a scribbled name in Southern Chu referring to Jiangnan, which used to be Sanqiu Guizi Shili Lotus.

So far, the north and the south have been unified, and the world is peaceful.

When the army returned triumphantly, another year of the Shangyuan Festival, Gao Jingduan sat on the east side as the chief, looking at the young man in armor and holding a helmet in the middle, he was tall and smiling, and said, "My lord, Yu Wenhua, the son of the Prince of Linhai, greets His Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, and Empress Qian Live!" .”

The emperor didn't mind Yu Wenhua's imposing manner: "Give me a seat."

The young man sat down, walked around the dancer Pianpian's clothes, and suddenly locked on Gao Jing with a pair of deep eyes.The moment their eyes met, Yu Wenhua raised his wine glass and threw a gesture at him.

Gao Jing ignored him, and looked away silently.

He is tired of looking for the shadow of the bright moon in others.At first, he would be fascinated when he saw a similar figure from the back, but now Yu Wenhua and Mingyue's age, the origin of the descendants of the three guards in Saibei, and even the white skin and deep eyes from Xianbei, Gao Jing was extremely embarrassed when he looked at him like this.

He admitted wearily that Mingyue was indeed unique to him.

No one is him, no one can replace him.

This year's Lantern Festival is bright and full of moonlight, and the Qiankun Palace is still singing and dancing as in previous years.The old man is gone, the new man is here again, Gao Jing sits in the middle, not in the mood to do anything, it is rare to take a leisurely thought about He Lan Mingyue, but he is exhausted by the pain of "never seeing him again".

He never imagined that he could see Helan Mingyue again, nor did he know that at the same moment, thousands of miles away, the person he missed was thinking of him for a moment.

——Descent Dream · End——
