Chapter 20 Return to the Forbidden City)

The chariot slowly drove into the door opening in the middle of Chengtian Gate, entered the Meridian Gate, Duanmen, and the majestic Fengtian Square of the Forbidden City in turn, which caught Tan Yunxian's eyes in a very high-profile manner.

Holding the car curtain with one hand and looking out with his head tilted, he sighed in his heart that nothing had changed.The Forbidden City, still located on the central axis of Beijing, is square and square, symbolizing the soul of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.Gold tiles and red walls, pavilions, and palaces are well arranged and majestic.What makes her feel different is only her state of mind!

Tan Yunxian still remembered that since she was forcibly dragged into the palace by Zhu Qiyu, for seven years, the Forbidden City brought her nothing but endless pain and grief.That feeling is like a swan goose flying freely in the sky, suddenly shot down by an arrow by a hunter just for fun, and put into a gorgeous cage.Especially, when she was forced to marry Zhu Qiyu wearing the golden jade bracelet that Qi Zhen gave her, she wanted to die.It was only for him that she lived reluctantly.At that time, the Forbidden City was hell to her, a prison, a ghostly place that she wanted to stay far away in her dreams, a living tomb, where would there be any beauty at all?

However, today, when she entered the Forbidden City again for her Qi Zhen, she was in an extremely happy mood.This is her home, where she is given warmth.

Strangely, there was not even a single person to welcome the emperor back to Luan. The square in front of Fengtian Hall was empty, which was very different from the grand occasion when the common people greeted them when they entered Beijing just now.What exactly is going on?Thinking about it, Tan Yunxian couldn't help frowning Liu Mei in doubt.

"Go home or go back to the palace, which do you prefer?" At the same time as Zhu Qizhen's laughter came to his ears unexpectedly, Tan Yunxian felt his waist being wrapped in his arms.This person is really becoming more and more like a roundworm in her stomach, why can't she escape his eyes for everything she thinks in her heart?

She put down the car curtain, turned her head and smiled at him, and said two words "go home"

"That's right, have you ever seen someone come home and talk about pomp?" Zhu Qizhen chuckled, resting his chin on Tan Yunxian's shoulder, and took the opportunity to kiss her earlobe, his words were full of irrefutable words Domineering: "From now on, you will live in the East Side Hall of the Qianqing Palace and stay with me!"

Hearing this, Tan Yunxian couldn't help "Ah—" and opened his mouth so much that he could stuff an ostrich egg.Dazed, she turned to look at Zhu Qizhen in disbelief, with surprise and doubt on her face.After a long time, Tan Yunxian seemed to be relieved, and stammered: "This, this is not in line with the rules, right?"

Zhu Qizhen laughed "tow", and his words were full of metaphors and jokes: "Rules? When did you, Tan Yunxian, take care of the rules? Tsk tsk, it really impresses me!" After speaking, he restrained his jokes, handsome and heroic On his face, there was a solemn expression.Zhu Qizhen changed the subject and asked, "Where do you want to live if you don't live in Dongbei Palace? Wan'an Palace, or Kunning Palace?"

Alas, Tan Yunxian couldn't help sighing.

In a word, Zhu Qizhen stopped her easily.Tan Yunxian lowered his head and thought, Wan'an Palace, even though it was during the orthodox years, Qi Zhen arranged the bedroom for me to allow me to concentrate on studying medicine.However, it was also my residence when I was Zhu Qiyu's concubine.If he still lives there, won't he be trapped in endless painful memories again, and it will be difficult to get rid of Zhu Qiyu's shadow forever, how can he start a new life?Long-term liver depression and qi stagnation are not good for the body.

Kunning Palace, although it was the exclusive bedroom of the empresses of the Ming Dynasty, but there, the aura and influence of Empress Qian permeated everywhere.Tan Yunxian thought, how can I go to live in Sister Qian's house, and sleep with Qi Zhen on the same bed that he and Sister Qian once slept on?No, I cannot continue to live in the shadow of the past.In that way, Qi Zhen and I will not live comfortably and happily in the next few decades.

Furthermore, Kunning Palace is the only place where Jianshen remembers and honors his mother.If I live in, Shen'er will feel that I finally replaced Sister Qian and took everything from Sister Qian.In this way, the relationship between mother and child we have just established will also be broken.

Qi Zhen, he arranged for me to live in the East Side Hall of Qianqing Palace, he must have taken all these into consideration before making the decision.This decision is beneficial and harmless to me, him, and insight.When did Qi Zhen arrange all this?In the past two days, we have been inseparable, and he has not seen anyone summoned?Dongchang?Jin Yiwei?Still seeing deep, or...

Frowning and thinking deeply, he suddenly felt that the carriage wobbled and stopped.When he regained his composure, Zhu Qizhen's joking reminder came from his ear: "What are you in a daze for, we're here!"

Tan Yunxian said "Oh" as if waking up from a dream.Just when she was about to get up and get out of the car, she suddenly felt a jump in the air, which really startled her, and she instinctively called out "ah".When she completely recovered her consciousness, she realized that her whole body was held in Zhu Qizhen's arms.She shyly said: "Put me down quickly, there are so many people in the palace, how embarrassing to see it!"

Hehe, Zhu Qizhen laughed twice, ignoring her embarrassment.He directly hugged her and bent down out of the carriage, carefully got out of the carriage, and stepped into the gate of Qianqing Palace.

"It's not that I can't walk anymore. There are a lot of people in the palace..." Tan Yunxian pouted.

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and looked at her angrily and amusedly, the expression on his face, and the words he said were serious, without any joking intention: "Don't worry, even if someone sees it and What can you do? You are my wife, which is different from concubines. Since ancient times, emperors have favored empresses, even if they are exclusive favors, and they will not be criticized. Old masters will only shake their heads and say that the deep love between emperors and empresses is the blessing of the country. .If it's a concubine, even a little petting will be said by them as a concubine who is seductive and seductive but can deceive the Lord, and is a slanderer...so, don't worry!"

Tan Yunxian blushed, sighed seriously and said: "I can't say it to you!" Although he said so, his heart seemed to be dripping with honey, so Zhu Qizhen hugged her.

He did not continue to take a step forward, but lowered his head and looked at her and called out: "Yunxian" Tan Yunxian raised his slender eyebrows, raised his voice, said "um", and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhu Qizhen stared at her with his head slightly lowered, in a pair of deep and bright black eyes like a deep pool, there was a doting "tide".He raised the corners of his mouth, showing some signs of aging, but still showing a warm smile on his handsome and handsome face.Zhu Qizhen said mysteriously: "Close your eyes!"

Tan Yunxian looked at him stupidly and asked: "You, what are you going to do, what are you doing?"

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows, with an "impatient" expression on his face, he rolled his eyes at the woman in his arms and said, "What do you think? If I tell you to close your eyes, just close your eyes, where is there so much nonsense! Be good! "

Tan Yunxian pouted and glared at him, muttered something dissatisfied, but obediently followed her husband's instructions and closed her eyes.I muttered in my heart, this person is still as awkward as before, obviously well-intentioned, but... I want to see what tricks you can play!

It almost felt like entering the palace, a familiar call floated into Tan Yunxian's eardrum like a dream.Then, Zhu Qizhen's words with a suppressed smile followed in his ears: "Yunxian, open your eyes and see who is here?" After saying that, she put her down on the ground.

"Yunxian..." There was pity, longing, and a little resentment in the shout.

"Ah, yes, it's grandma, grandma..." As soon as Tan Yunxian opened his eyes, he saw Mrs. Tan standing in front of her supported by two maids.Wearing a long brown brocade trousers with white crane wings, and a dark brown horse-face skirt underneath.Snow-white hair is combed into a peony bun on the top of the head, and she wears a satin mother-in-law hat inlaid with East Sea pearls.Mrs. Tan herself has quite a temperament. She is kind-hearted and kind-eyed. Wearing this outfit, she really looks like a blessed old birthday star from a wealthy official family. She has an extraordinary aura.

Tan Yunxian called "Grandma" and quickly jumped into her grandmother's arms.Mrs. Tan held her beloved granddaughter in her arms, patted her on the back lovingly and reproachfully, and cried: "You ignorant little hoof, you have been walking for so many years, but you still don't come to the family. A letter, even if it's safe! You...how did you become so heartless? You don't even want grandma anymore?"

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all due to my granddaughter's unfilial piety, I won't dare in the future."

Zhu Qizhen came in front of their grandparents, and comforted them gently, "Yunxian, we are finally reunited, we should be happy, don't cry. The old grandmother is getting old, her health is not as good as in previous years, and she can't stand it anymore. I was sad and wept. If you have filial piety, you should persuade grandma to be happy."

Tan Yunxian nodded approvingly and said "um", sucked his nose and stopped crying.She took her grandmother's hand covered with brown age spots, choked with sobs and comforted her: "Grandma, Qi Zhen is right, the day when we are reunited is a happy event, and we should be happy. Don't cry yourself out, allow me Xian hasn't honored you well enough to let you enjoy the blessings. You should live a long life!"

After all, a maid beside her handed her a handkerchief with great insight.Tan Yunxian took over and wiped away the tears on Mrs. Tan's face.And Zhu Qizhen thoughtfully took out the handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears for Tan Yunxian, and helped the old lady sit on the mahogany chair with her.

Under Zhu Qizhen's signal, the servant girl brought two mats and put them in the hall.He dragged Tan Yunxian to the mat, Tiju was about to kneel down.Mrs. Tan was shocked when she saw this, and quickly stopped her and said: "Your Majesty, this can't be done. I'm just an order of the first rank, how dare I accept the gift of the emperor?" The mat in front of Qi Zhen.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, causing the servant girl to retreat, and then respectfully and humbly said to Mrs. Tan: "Grandmother, although I am the son of heaven, I am also Yunxian's husband, your grandson-in-law! You are the tallest son of the Tan family." Elders, you should accept the kneeling ceremony of your granddaughter and grandson-in-law."

"Your Majesty...Yunxian, please persuade Your Majesty. Your Majesty's wishes are accepted by the old man. This gift, I would never dare to accept. Although at home, Yunxian and you are the granddaughter and grandson-in-law of the old man, but after all, you are Son of Heaven, you have to be respectful. Not to mention you, even Yunxian, I can’t accept her big gift! She is the queen now, not just my granddaughter anymore. Besides, this is the palace, and there are too many people talking , it would be great if people spread the word!"

Tan Yunxian pursed his lips and smiled thoughtfully, turned his face to look at Zhu Qizhen and said, "Yes, Qizhen, your heart and Grandma Li's heart is appreciated. After all, your status attracts the attention of thousands of people. If you treat me sincerely, treat Tan Yunxian The relatives of the family should listen to the words of the wife, it is not good to hear this matter in the ears of the Queen Mother!"

As soon as she heard her say "passed to the queen mother's ears", her heart sank, and she felt that Tan Yunxian's concerns were quite reasonable.Yes, although Yunxian is a queen, there is still a layer of queen mother on top of her head.I still have to deal with government affairs on weekdays, and discuss matters in the early morning, so it is impossible to protect her like a personal bodyguard.If you want Yunxian to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the harem, you have to put more weight on the Queen Mother.As long as the queen mother has a good impression of Yunxian and likes her daughter-in-law, even if I am not by Yunxian's side, Yunxian is absolutely safe!If he offends the queen mother because of this, then it will be harmful to Yunxian instead of beneficial!

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Qizhen grinned, nodded in agreement and said "Yes", he glanced at Mrs. Tan, turned around and stared at Tan Yunxian and said: "Yunxian is still thoughtful! Alright, For you, for the Tan family, I will write down this gift first, and in the future..."

"You..." Tan Yunxian smiled at him contentedly.The hands hidden under the wide sleeves of the cloak tightly held Zhu Qizhen's hands, warming each other, and their hearts were also connected.

Alas—Old Madam Tan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Like all the people of this era, Mrs. Tan is also extremely disgusted with one woman serving two husbands. This kind of thing is immoral, violates the teachings of the saints, and insults the family style.The sage of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Xi, not Confucius and Meng!

She always has mixed feelings towards the current emperor, both gratitude and resentment.What is grateful is that the current emperor has always been considerate and caring for the Tan family, avenged the Tan family, and restored their reputation and surname.What is resentful is that he actually violated the etiquette and issued an edict to abolish the husband and wife relationship between Yunxian and Zhu Qiyu in order to get Yunxian, and removed her from the family tree.In her opinion, this is destroying Yunxian's reputation and chastity.Therefore, at first, she was opposed to the marriage between Zhu Qizhen and his granddaughter...but later, after listening to her son Tan Gang explaining their affairs in detail, she learned that Zhu Qiyu in the palace could not protect Yunxian, but had a relationship with his mother, the queen. Together they bullied Yunxian, even insulted her, and talked about how Zhu Qizhen treated Yunxian well.It tells about their life and death in Wala, and their adversity and empathy are deep and deep.Tan Gang told his mother that Yunxian wanted to stay in Nangong to accompany His Majesty the Emperor that time, but he was torn apart by Zhu Qiyu like a Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and it was delayed until now.After hearing this, the old lady finally turned the corner.

Besides, His Majesty is full of sincerity in order to marry Yunxian.Although it is a continuation, it has fully done the six rituals required for marriage.Especially the personal welcome, although there is no Fengluan sedan chair, but she did go to Xitang Town in the south of the Yangtze River in person to welcome her precious granddaughter back.Not only that, he issued an edict to expand the imperial pharmacy as a part of the dowry to Yunxian.The person who received the color said to her: "Your Majesty said that gold, silver and jewels are useless to Mrs. Tan. Only the imperial pharmacy is the lady's favorite, and it is also what she needs most when entering the palace." People are moved!

Now, for the sake of Yunxian, the current emperor condescends and condescends to give her, an old woman, the etiquette of a junior.With this thought, Yunxian will not be wronged if he marries him.

Sitting on the grand master's chair in the east side hall of Qianqing Palace, looking at the loving and sweet newlyweds in front of him, the old man was so satisfied that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.She smiled and reminded, "Yunxian, it's been so long since you've been here, you haven't taken a good look at the furnishings in the hall, have you?"

Ah... After Mrs. Tan's words, both of them came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.Tan Yunxian let go of the hand he held with Zhu Qizhen, and looked at the furnishings of the East Side Hall while walking...

The more he looked, the stronger the smile on Tan Yunxian's face.The entire sleeping hall was arranged according to her wish, simple and elegant without any extravagant embellishments and fancy and impractical furnishings.

"Ah, there are silver needles! Ingot, you..." Tan Yunxian touched a roll of silk cloth from the bookshelf carved from pear blossom wood, his eyes lit up in surprise, and he turned around and said with an excited smile.

Zhu Qizhen grinned and asked: "How, is Madam satisfied with looking at this room?"

In fact, ever since Tan Yunxian visited the display of the East Side Hall, Zhu Qizhen had been standing there with arms folded, eyebrows and eyes raised, the corners of his lips raised, looking at her proudly and confidently.

Mrs. Tan also chimed in and said: "Yunxian, this was personally arranged by His Majesty!"

Tan Yunxian smiled brightly and said: "Of course, Yuan Bao is the person who understands me best in this world!"

She was so happy, she forgot for a moment that her old grandmother was here, and called Zhu Qizhen by her intimate name.The name Yuanbao is a baby name that even the Empress Dowager Sun who brought up Zhu Qizhen didn't know, let alone Mrs. Tan. Hearing this strange name, it was like Monk Zhang Er who couldn't figure it out.She thought that Tan Yunxian was talking about someone else, and she was a little nervous, worried that Zhu Qizhen who was on the side would be furious, so she frowned, and said with trembling voice: "Yuanbao? Yunxian, Yuan Bao is... Who is it? This is obviously the bedroom that His Majesty arranged for you, what are you doing with that Yuan Bao?"

Zhu Qizhen gave a "chi" smile, put down the emperor's frame completely, bent down and explained to the old lady with a smile: "Grandmother, don't blame Yunxian. The ingot she called is me!"

Old Mrs. Tan was so startled that she said "Ah—" and raised her face, looking at Zhu Qizhen in fear.Because the emperor had said something first, and she was not allowed to blame Yunxian, she could only slander her granddaughter in her heart.

Yuan Bao, um, looks like a baby name.Alas, this Yunxian is so courageous that he even dared to call the emperor's baby name casually.Back then, when Yun Xian followed King Tan, he called the emperor.Be well-behaved, without half arrogance.why now...

Just as she was lost in thought, Tan Yunxian had already walked to her side.Mrs. Tan grabbed her both hands, and warned with a serious face: "You are not allowed to call Your Majesty's name indiscriminately in the future!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed deeply, and explained with a smile: "It's okay old grandmother, Yunxian really loves me. In her heart, I'm just her husband, not the emperor."

In other words, Yunxian really likes the current emperor, just like ordinary women like their husbands, right?The emperor also really likes our Yunxian.Just now, when Yun Yin called him by his first name and baby name, the emperor was not even a little bit angry, but instead defended her...

These two people are really... It seems that Gang'er is right!Today's Emperor His Majesty really loves our family, Yunxian, in his heart and loves him, unlike King Tan, who only speaks sweet words!

"Those who speak cleverly and seductively are seldom benevolent!" The sage said it right!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tan couldn't help feeling waves in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a kind smile on her not very rich face.She turned to look at Zhu Qizhen, a little hesitant, but after all, under the acquiescence of Zhu Qizhen's eyes, she boldly pulled his hand over and put Tan Yunxian's together and said: "Your Majesty, Yunxian, May you grow old together."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and nodded in unison, "Okay!"

In the afternoon, Tan Gang was also invited to the East Side Hall by people sent by Zhu Qizhen, and the family had a happy reunion dinner, during which Zhu Qizhen got along with Tan Gang's mother and son completely as a son-in-law.Let them let go of their rigid and nervous hearts slowly, rejoice, and speak more naturally.

Until Youshi, Zhu Qizhen accompanied Tan Yunxian and sent Tan Gang's mother and son out of Donghua Gate all the way.

After saying goodbye, I watched the two sedan chairs walk away gradually.Tan Yunxian didn't know when, she walked around behind Zhu Qizhen, stretched her arms around his strong waist, leaned her head on his back, closed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed a satisfied look on her beautiful face. Intoxicated smile.

Zhu Qizhen also raised his hands, and held the pair of slender jade hands dyed with medicinal fragrance around his waist in his rough and warm palms, with a doting smile rippling from the corners of his mouth.

After a while, Tan Yunxian's long and soft words came from behind, the tone was as delicate and long as a trickle of water, just like the deep friendship between them: "The car is far away, the horse is standing. You travel to Dongdong, Shandong and Fudong, An De Flying to chase the west wind. May I be like a star king like the moon, and the night and night streams are bright and clean. The moon is temporarily dark, and the stars are always bright. Stay bright and wait for the moon to return, three to five will be full."
