[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

There is a story about Jiang Xia's other industry in detail.During the time of the first emperor, Jiang Xia and Chang'an both took a fancy to this place and wanted to occupy it as their own and build another business. Jiang Xia was the younger sister of the first emperor, and Chang'an was not as honorable as he knew that he could not compete with her, so he naturally gave up his favorite thing unwillingly. people.

Although the late Emperor later compensated Chang'an for another piece of land that could be expanded into another business, Jiang Xia and Chang'an had disagreements in temperament and conflicts that had accumulated over time, so their already tense relationship was not relieved.

The place where the two eldest princesses favored must have its own uniqueness. Bieye is located on the mountainside of Zhongshan Mountain. There is a mountain road at the corner gate of the manor, which is a shortcut to Lion Peak, one of the seven scenic spots in Yanjing.In addition, flowing water is brought in, lingering around the entire manor like a jade belt, and vegetation is planted all over the riverside, with four seasons and four scenery, and it is during the Shang Festival.

When all the people came here, they all brought their servants and offered gifts to Xue Jie of Jiang Xia. After a short gathering, they went to visit various parts of the garden in twos and threes.Or fish in the pond, or write poems while you are in the mood, or throw pots and shoot ducks, all according to personal preferences.You Ye intends to relax physically and mentally, and those who celebrate birthdays have already unloaded the burden of red tape, hold a pot of wine, drink and sing, and are chic and unrestrained.

Tang Yu looked at Shang Zan and Yan Shu, who were shoulder-to-shoulder in the middle of the old one in the distance, got up and put down the curtains on all sides one by one, so as to isolate the world outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake and create a place that belonged to them. The privacy of two people.

In the end, he still didn't forget to find a plausible excuse, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shang and uncle are probably drunk, and this place is far from the shore, so it's not good for them to come here by boat in a daze."

Screening away the servants in the palace, there is no one around at the moment, and the pavilion is so quiet that the sound of water can be heard.Through the curtain, you can still see things vaguely, but the Queen Mother moved her eyes, which were staring at the red carp in the pond, to Tang Yu. Tang Yu stood in front of her, and his figure became more and more slender. In the past, she was afraid that she would not be too weak to grow up. Feeling a little relieved, a little bit reluctant, a little relieved, he said with a light smile: "Chang Geng, you have grown up."

The Empress Dowager's words probably came out of feeling. Tang Yu heard it, and for some reason, a bad premonition slowly crept up in her heart, but the faint smile on the Empress Dowager's face made her feel that she probably thought too much .

Tang Yu sat beside her, took her hand naturally, raised his eyes and looked at her: "I am weak in body, without your care and teaching, I might not grow up to this age. Auntie, you left home For more than ten years, I must miss it very much. When I and Ji are in charge, how about I accompany you on a tour of Jinling?" A wanderer is away, how can he not miss his hometown?

Her black and white eyes were full of reflections on her own face, as if she couldn't hold any more, the queen mother declined with a smile: "It's enough if you have the heart, I have been away from home for more than ten years, and I have lived in the deep palace for more than ten years." I'm used to it, and I don't really miss it."

The most important thing for the emperor to be in charge of the government is to be diligent in government affairs and establish his prestige. Going out on tours is a waste of money and people, which is easy to lose the hearts of the people.Tang Xi knew what the queen mother was thinking, and he would obey her in the past, but at this moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​obedience and disobedience.

The pavilion is in the middle of the lake, and the wind is a bit strong. Tang Yu saw her few strands of blue hair hanging down her cheeks, lining the icy skin of her jade face like frost and snow. Behind the Empress Dowager's ear: "How about in a few years, Haiyan Heqing Wan Guo will come to the court to win the hearts of the people, son... I, I will take you home to have a look."

If it weren't for Yanjing being the land of prosperity in the Jin Dynasty, and the Jinling Dynasty's short life since ancient times, the Tang Dynasty did have the idea of ​​moving the capital.She had this idea, but she never said it out loud, and the censor seldom advised her, nagging very much, besides, A Niang would not agree.

Tang Yu was on her right side, and the scattered black hair was on her left side. She watched her wrist stretch out, gently picked up a strand of black hair, pinned it behind her ear delicately, and touched the auricle with her fingertips , slightly itchy.The queen mother bent her lips and smiled: "Okay, in a few years." Her voice was soft and slow, like Huaxu, as if she was talking about a future that she didn't even believe in.

Tang Yu concentrated on combing her hair with his hands and re-combing her hair, so he didn't hear her almost inaudible sigh.She walked around behind her, with the lock of hair hanging down, she glanced at the snow-white pinnae on the side she touched, rubbed her fingertips, savoring the delicate and soft touch, her lips curled up in satisfaction. radians.

As it is now, what she desires should not be as deep as a ravine or as wide as a sky, light as a trickle, and flow endlessly.

The guests gathered together, and the night fell, and it was time for the banquet.

Although there is no defense between men and women, men and women never talk together, so the banquet is divided into two sessions, inside and outside.There are [-] households in Jiangxia Food City, [-] households more than the usual Dachang Princess. She is a veritable rich woman. Most of the cooks are supported by Jiangxia Mansion. They come from all over the world. It can almost be perfect and meet the different needs of everyone.

Jiang Xia was so lively, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor asked everyone to enjoy themselves without restraint, and the atmosphere was intense.During the Si Le Shengge, the male guests of the foreign banquet were drinking wine and wine, and when they got excited, they danced a set of swords, and the sword flowers were in a mess. They swung the sword forward, picked out a glass of wine from the wooden plate served by the passing attendants, and leveled the sword. Turning around, bending down and pouring it into his mouth, it was indulgent and full of pride.

Tang Yu stopped in place, and looked at the male guest a few more times. Chi Zai saw that she was looking at her seriously, so he said in a low voice: "His Highness Chang'an's face is called Song Ji." While speaking, Song Ji put his sword back into its sheath , Throwing the sword to Chang'an's personal servant, he has a handsome face and a coquettish demeanor, wherever he looks, the cheeks of the servant girl of the palace are pale pink.

"No wonder..." Tang Yu stopped looking carefully, turned around and walked in, and said with a narrow smile, "The waist is very strong."

Chi Zai followed her behind and saw the drunkenness in her eyes. Hearing this, he couldn't help saying in his heart: Your Majesty, it's not good for you to bury your aunt's little lover in private like this.

Influenced by the folk customs of this dynasty, although the female guests of the inner banquet are not as flamboyant as the male guests, they are not restrained and silent.When Tang Yu entered, they were bustling with drinking orders. They drank when they lost. One cup of wine counts as a game. Wine is good wine. How can they stay sober after drinking several cups in succession? They held up the hands of their servants one after another, pleaded guilty and left the table.

This situation was presided over by Jiang Xia. She bent down and filled the wine cup on the Empress Dowager's food table with her own hands, and said slightly drunk: "Sister-in-law, when brother was here, he was a jerk, because he misunderstood you so much You have suffered all sorts of grievances. He has a good face, and I am afraid that he didn't apologize to you when he died, so today I will do it, I will..." She was unsteady on her feet, fell slightly backwards, and helped Holding the close-fitting Gong'e's hand to stabilize her figure, she took another cup of wine by herself, and sent it forward, "I'll come and apologize to you on his behalf."

What he said made everyone feel mixed feelings.More than ten years ago, when several heirs were poisoned and died one after another, many of them followed the crowd and slandered the Queen Mother, thinking that she had a heart of snakes and scorpions and poisoned the heirs who were raised by her own hands.Although they don't know the truth, just looking at the late emperor's edict, his trust in the empress dowager's entrustment can be seen.

Jiang Xia was very drunk, but she confides the truth, just for her sincerity, this wine is not good.

The surrounding lights were brightly lit, reflecting the faces of the female guests very clearly, no matter how high or low they were, they couldn't help but look at the queen mother with pity and sympathy.Probably in the hearts of women who abide by the three obediences and four virtues of ethics, a woman obeys her father at home, her husband when she leaves the court, and her son after her husband dies, and the queen mother has only one adopted daughter under her knees, and she is the most lonely and desolate.

The Empress Dowager held the wine cup, the liquid was clear, reflecting her pair of long but not thin phoenix eyes.Her demeanor is clearly dignified and elegant. When she looks into the eyes of everyone, she has an aura of looking down on the world for no reason. Just now, her pity or sympathy is suddenly replaced by a heart of surrender, and she wakes up belatedly. The emperor has not yet ruled in person, and His Highness holds great power, how can he be lonely and desolate?

The Empress Dowager wanted to drink the wine. Seeing this, Tang Yu hurried forward a few steps, snatched the wine cup from her hand, and said with a smile to Jiang Xia: "Why don't you find me when my aunt wants to toast? I am in the palace, and Auntie is very strict. I don’t even have to drink.” She clinked glasses as she spoke, and drank it all with her head raised, her actions were swift and swift, without delay.

This place seems to be the focal point. The beauties of the female family watched the excitement, looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts: The queen mother not only holds power, but even the ninety-five-year-old emperor is firmly held in the palm of her hand, worrying about others You might as well take care of your own family first.

Drunk people are always insane, Jiang Xia saw that Tang Yi was refreshing, so she forgot that she was toasting to the Queen Mother just now, and wanted to drag Tang Yin to drink a few more cups.Tang Yu was in a dilemma, she was only here to stop the drinking, not to drink too much, so she cast a look at the queen mother for help, the queen mother gave her a helpless look, got up and went straight to the middle of the two, snatched the wine cup from Jiang Xia's hand, Handed it to Gong'e, and told her: "Eleven Niang is drunk and confused, you serve her back to the house, make a pot of sober tea and wait for her to wake up."

Gong Egong claimed it was, and called someone to help, and helped the drunk Jiang Xia away.

Then, Xue Jie's younger sister acted as the host, and led the female guests who were still in high spirits to have a drink and chat; The case was announced, and there were cheers one after another, and it was about night that it couldn't be quiet.

Yanjing came here and back and forth one day, at night, the mountain road is difficult to travel, few people rushed back, the court also allowed a three-day holiday, and there are enough houses in Jiangxia Bieye, which are fully furnished, and can be used by everyone. People live temporarily.

The moon shines brightly, and the branches of the trees in the garden stick out unevenly, and the shadows of the whirling trees are intertwined and chaotic.

The front is conveniently the residence of the Empress Dowager, Liandong and Gong'e walked in front carrying the palace lanterns, Xu Jiujiu and the servants followed behind.When the two of them stepped down the stone steps, Tang Yu swayed suddenly. The queen mother hurriedly supported her, and said angrily: "How much wine did your uncle feed you? You don't know how to turn him down."

When Tang Xi was at the banquet, he had drunk a few rounds of wine with Yan Shu, Shang Zan, and Xiao Shen respectively, and Jiang Xia's cup of wine was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.With the help of the queen mother, she barely stood still, her head was dizzy, she looked ahead, and then smiled: "My son is happy today, so I will have a drink with my uncle." To be with you, □ □A moment is already a blessing in life.

"Your aunt hosted a banquet, but you are even happier." The queen mother supported her, seeing that her eyes were blurred and her speech was smeared with alcohol, worrying that it would be difficult for her to go back to her residence, she said, "Don't go back to your place." , just stay with me tonight."

Hearing this, Tang Yu was startled, and regained consciousness for a moment, but he was not very sober, and said in a daze, "Son... I, I will sleep with you?"

She lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, as if thinking of something embarrassing, with a little embarrassment on her face: "I'm afraid...isn't it good?"

Two rows of palace lanterns are in front, illuminating the stone road leading to the main hall.Hearing her tone of surprise, joy, and apprehension, the Empress Dowager slightly raised the corners of her lips: "What's wrong with going to bed in separate beds?" This silly child was really so drunk that he fainted.
