Return to the rumor

A few days ago, Yiyang, who is active by nature, asked Emperor Chunyou for an opportunity to go hunting outside the city, and led hundreds of guards to shoot deer and hunt birds in the mountains on the outskirts of Jizhou.Emperor Chunyou loved his daughter dearly, no matter how hard Ren Yiyang pursued her, he could not bear the possibility of her being involved in dangerous situations, and restricted and delineated the mountains, rivers and villages that she could travel to and from.As a result, it reduces or even loses a lot of excitement for indulging in fun.

Naturally, Yiyang is not obedient and obedient, she is obedient and obedient, and every time she hunts, she picks a secluded path to whip her horse and whip her horse recklessly.

In the past, no one dared to whisper to His Majesty behind this master's back, but this time, because he took a shortcut on the way home, he would inevitably step on the farmland and cause people's resentment. Tian Fu beat the drums to file a complaint, but Shun Tian Fu Yin was quite capable, only relying on the few words of the common people, he concluded that the incident was done by Yiyang's escorting cavalry, and wrote a letter to the guard generals.

It was obvious that he was a guard general, but secretly he was coming for Yiyang.

Emperor Chunyou sent someone to send a message to the princess mansion, calling her into the palace.

Yiyang knew the inside story in advance, so he wasn't too flustered and confused. After entering the palace to say hello, he obediently answered every question. He was much more honest and peaceful when he was kneeling. Seeing You Lian's tears, she choked up and admitted her mistake, and begged her father to allow her to use the government's private treasury to appease the villagers whose seedlings had been trampled.

Emperor Chunyou didn't intend to be too harsh on her at first, he cared more about Yiyang going against his will to hunt on other trails than trampling on the farmland, worrying whether she would fall into danger.

After getting Yiyang's promise, he reprimanded her with a stern face, such as how the white dragon fish suit is a joke, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, and fined her to be grounded for half a month, and the matter was over.

Chi Liangjun was in front of the princess mansion from Shenshi to Xushi, and almost sent someone to run to the East Palace. He heard Dada's horseshoe in the night, and after a while, a team of guards lined up on both sides. Yiyang jumped off the horse, threw the reins, and slightly The impatient Chi Liangjun didn't look at it, and walked straight into the mansion.

Going around the screen and stepping onto the bamboo corridor, Yiyang suddenly sneered: "King Lu, why is he in such a hurry? Father is still in good health, but he can't sit still anymore. I don't think it's enough to use my brains on my prince brother. He knows the truth that one prospers, one prospers, one loses, but I don't?"

Chi Liangjun, who is familiar with Yiyang's temperament, knows that once she shows such a thoughtful look, she will be very angry.Just quietly waiting one step away, not daring to say much, pretending to be a listener.

Walking eastward along the stone road, passing the courtyard where Lu He was exposed to the sun yesterday, Yiyang's eyes became darker and darker, and he ordered in a soft voice: "You should secretly investigate Lu He's family background, and it must be detailed within three generations."

She naturally half-believes what Lu He said during the day, how can she easily believe everything without going through her own hands.If the family background is truly innocent, then why not hide her daughter's identity for her? My brother has just killed many former officials and staff members of the East Palace, and this is the time when he is most thirsty for talents.Although she is only a mere editor of the seventh grade of Hanlin today, after several years of experience in the officialdom, she should be the mainstay of the government in time.Thinking about the deep quagmire and the dilemma, even if one day the incident happens, the emperor's father should be the first to be punished by this year's Chunwei's examiner. That person is Han Ru's protégé. open relationship.

Office of the Ministry of Officials.

Tang Ci was invited by his wife to have a banquet.There was only half a cup of tea, and Qin Rongyue clamored to go out to catch butterflies, so Tang Ci carried her into the spacious courtyard.

"Sister Rou Ke, Sister Rou Ke!" Tang Ci looked back at the visitor upon hearing the sound, his lips parted slightly, his hand loosened, and the little man in his arms broke free easily, stretching his little hands and feet and running happily forward.

There was a raised spot on the ground, which was naturally ignored by Qin Rongyue, tripped and fell down.

Tang Ci hurried forward, before Rou Ke was near the water tower, he took the little man into his arms first.

Rou Ke hugged Qin Rongyue, tapped the tip of her nose, gave her some intimacy, then nodded at Tangci and smiled slightly: "Young Master Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

It is different from the plain white clothes seen in Biyun Temple a few days ago when returning from filial piety.The aqua blue dress dragged the floor, her long hair was pulled into a bun, the phoenix hairpin was inserted obliquely, and the earrings were jade rings. The tiny mole under her eyes was more beautiful and charming on her cheeks with light makeup.

Tang Ci calmed down, and after taking a deep breath, he calmly bowed his hands and saluted: "Master Lao is concerned, everything is well."

The woman's arms were weak, and Qin Rongyue was also a well-behaved child, she broke free from Rou Ke's arms sensiblely, walked between the two of them, holding the other with one hand.

Considering Qin Rongyue's tiny legs and feet, Rou Ke and Tang Ci walked slowly.

"Sister Rou Ke, my little brother bought me a sugar figurine last time, and that sugar figurine looked exactly like you. Later, I was reluctant to eat it and wanted to store it in a box for you to see when you came. As a result Let my dad smell the smell, and he threw it out without saying a word." Qin Rongyue's chubby little hands tightly hooked the two palms belonging to the two, she slipped left and right, dawdled a few times, and the childish beauty bloomed. innocent smile.

The little brother's palm is about the same size as sister Rouke's, soft and comfortable.

"Little brother?" Rou Ke looked at Tang Ci, who covered her mouth and coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, she had an epiphany, and said with a smile, "Which vendor did Mr. Tang buy from a sugar figurine, unexpectedly..."

"The princess is well-known and well-known in the capital, and there are many admirers. In the city, as large as a calligraphy and painting studio, as small as a traveling merchant, they all sell the portraits of the princess to earn money. I think it was caused by the artist leaking the copy. I was at the sugar stall that day. I saw a candy figurine on the street that was the most lifelike, so I bought it, never thinking that the owner of the stall was blowing it up after the appearance of the princess."

Rou Ke looked at Tang Ci, which was serious and eager to explain, glanced at her red earlobe, and said flatly: "My mother and concubine were sick and sick a few years ago, and my father is good at poetry and books. He often invites Chinese people in Beijing to talk about speeches. Dao, as a man and child, I should replace my mother and concubine to undertake the internal affairs of the palace. It is not unusual to have a copy of my portrait in the capital, why is Mr. Tang so nervous?"

Tang Ci's heart tightened, he couldn't help but clenched Qin Rongyue's hand, and tightly wrapped his small hand, which was less than half the size of his palm, in a trance, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.Looking sideways at Rou Ke, whose features and outlines are exactly like what she thinks in her heart, her throat is clogged with complex emotions coming from her internal organs, and she is scrambling to spew them out.

After a long while, she turned around and said, "Will the princess be there for the lotus banquet at Prince Lu's mansion in a few days?"

King Lu is the second son of Emperor Chunyou. Because in the early years, Emperor Chunyou raised troops from Qizhou, commanded the battlefield, swung horses and rode horses, and the whole journey was like a broken bamboo, so he deliberately brought his two sons into the imperial capital, so that he could witness his father's arrogance.Unexpectedly, when he was close to Jizhou, the young King Lu suffered from the wind and cold, and the situation of setting up camp was not optimistic. His condition took a turn for the worse and he almost died.

Emperor Chunyou felt ashamed, indulged and loved Lu Wang, and even tried his best to make Lu Wangqiang stay in Beijing to support him.

Rou Ke's footsteps paused, and she said slowly: "Naturally, I should go."

One word expresses how much loss and helplessness in the heart that cannot be shared with outsiders.

This city, built by several emperors in the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years with the hands of generals and ministers, and the labor of the common people, is as solid as gold and as stable as Mount Tai.Inside, there are four lanes and eight streets, brightly lit, where the old are taken care of, and the young are taken care of, but it contains Rouke's most conflicted and rejected memories after many years.After three years away from Beijing, she not only failed to dispel the long-suffering depression in her heart, but instead gave birth to many sorrows that were often unavoidable due to difficulties in the world.

Whether King Lu or Emperor Chunyou, if possible, she would rather never see this family.

Entering the hall, Qin Yan and his wife Liu Shi came forward to welcome her, and each saluted Rou Ke.

Seeing that Qin Rongyue was still lingering in the main hall, Qin Yan was clinging to Rou Ke with a fierce face, trying to scold her. Liu and Qin Yan have been married for many years and have been infertile for a long time. The child conceived 12 years ago was also frightened too much. Frightened all day long and stillborn.Prayed to God, prayed to Buddha, chanted scriptures and participated in ceremonies, found many prescriptions and finally gave birth to Qin Rongyue. She regarded it as a treasure, so she would not be willing to be scolded.

Liu twisted her handkerchief, and almost wanted to dissuade her, but seemed to be worried and hesitated.

Rou Ke lowered her body and hugged Qin Rongyue who was hiding behind her, and smiled with Qin Yan: "Rongyue is still young, maybe she hasn't seen me for a long time, so it's inevitable that I will be reluctant to leave. Mrs. Qin might as well let her go, let her sit down You must eat quietly and keep your mouth shut."

Qin Rongyue wrapped one hand around Rou Ke's slender neck, and tightly covered her small mouth with the other hand, and suddenly let go of her fingers, saying vaguely, "Daddy, please."

The weather is hot, and the diet should be vegetarian.

The dishes prepared by Mrs. Liu are also mainly seasonal vegetables, home-cooked side dishes, refreshing and appetizing, but it has a special taste.

"I wanted to invite your royal father to have dinner with me. Are you still not in good health?" Qin Yan and Mrs. Liu sat on one side, facing Rou Ke and Tang Ci, her eyes glanced at Tang Ci very subtly and secretly.

Qin Rongyue sat on Rou Ke's lap. Rou Ke had a small appetite and spent most of her time feeding.She picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, put it into Qin Rongyue's mouth with her hands, silk handkerchief gently wiped the stains around her mouth, and calmly said: "Although the body may not be well, the father wanted to come. The lord of the Ministry of Rites is entangled and unable to get away, he ordered me to thank Mr. Qin and his wife for their kindness when I come."

The king of Yu didn't care about political affairs. He had entertained himself with poems and books for many years, and everyone in the court knew about it.Qin Yan had his own guesses in his heart, and he still asked why the Lord of the Ministry of Rites came.

"It's to urge me to get married."

Tang Ci, who was drinking the soup silently at the side, paused slightly when he heard the words, and secretly looked at Rou Ke's expression under the cover of the rim of the bowl, seeing that there was no sadness or joy on her face, and some inexplicable thoughts filled her heart.

The king of Yu and the first emperor had a close friendship, and the princess of Yu and the empress Yici also had a high friendship.When Rou Ke was young, she was married to the child in Empress Yici's womb. Unexpectedly, Empress Yici's first child was a princess, so everyone laughed and laughed.Until the second child gave birth to the crown prince, the first emperor didn't say anything about Yici, and everyone already regarded Rou Ke as the future crown prince.

In the nine years of Kangle, the eight characters are equal, the imperial edict has been issued, only six rites are left, and unexpected changes occur.

Rou Ke's marriage fell through, and since then, almost no one dared to inquire about it because of the impediment.

Qin Yan didn't get to the bottom of it any more, but Rou Ke suddenly raised her eyes and said with a slight smile: "It's been more than ten years, the ink stains and vermilion mud that His Majesty the late emperor bestowed on marriage has not faded away, and the rules of auspicious etiquette have not faded away. The officials of the Ministry of Rites have forgotten all about it. They don’t know that since I’m already married as a woman, how can I remarry?”

Her eyes are like deep pools in ancient wells, with waves hidden in the calmness.

The Liu family is a family of women, so they can avoid political affairs if they can, not to mention the scandal of the Tian family involving the emperors of the two dynasties fighting in the same room.

Qin Rongyue is a child who doesn't know much about the world, her cheeks are bulging with vegetables leaves and rice, she lowers her head and plays with the tape on Rou Ke's clothes.

As a veteran of the three dynasties, Qin Yan stroked his beard and smiled lightly, keeping his secrets secret.

"The princess understands righteousness and abides by principles and ethics. The late emperor must have laughed at this when he wanted to come to the Western Paradise. Even if he chose a relative who fled the battle and sold friends for glory, it would probably be able to dilute some regrets that were too late." Tangci put down the bowl and said calmly.

12 years ago, Dingyou coup, Qi Wang rebelled, all the way into the imperial capital.The king of Yu held a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, surrendered without a fight, opened the gate of the palace, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, while preserving his throne and blood, he will also be the king of Yu since his ancestors. Prestige is in vain.Since then, he has been shamelessly criticized by Qingliu, a literati who likes to criticize current affairs.

Rou Ke glanced at Tang Ci indifferently, but declined to comment.
