Ning Ning Yishuijian

On this day, the scorching sun was scorching, and the dazzling sunlight scorched the heavens and the earth wantonly, and the last trace of moisture in the air was mercilessly evaporated, and the breath was dull and oppressive.

Ningxiang and King Ning came to Vimo Nunnery together at this time, trying to persuade Mother Yao to stay with her in the palace.

Ningxiang's idea is simple, the hot summer is the most exhausting, but the palace is shaded by greenery, the flowing water is gurgling, and Ning Fan is rich and rich, and the king of Ning is well-managed, and the ice basin in the mansion is full of fruits and vegetables. It is really suitable for taking mother here every day.As for Yao's mother's practice, it is even simpler. Now there are only two masters, Ning Wang and his wife, in the palace, and there are many vacant halls. The hall is for Yao's mother and Gao Deqing to repair in the nunnery.

In fact, long before the two of them set out to pick up Yao's mother, they had already arranged for Yao's mother's Hanzhu Garden at the right rear of the palace, and all her daily living and transportation here, sweeping the couch and waiting for welcome.

King Ning knew that it was not a good time to bring Yao's mother to the palace. If something bad happened, it would attract suspicion. After all, there were many emperors, King Zheng and others watching him.

For one thing, this trip was a preemptive act by the husband and wife. They hadn't consulted Yao's mother and Budou before. Although Ningxiang felt uncomfortable at first, it couldn't overcome the severe situation in the capital city and her filial piety. , and out of a ignorant intuition, knowing that such an arrangement by King Ning is beneficial to him and himself, he was finally persuaded by King Ning.

Secondly, King Ning thought that the emperor was too sick to get up now, and according to the report from the secret line in the palace, the grand tour was only in two days.Therefore, we must place Mother Yao under my nose as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!Moreover, after the emperor was seriously ill, he often acted unexpectedly and elusively. If the emperor wanted to give himself a "last order" before his death, then Yao's mother would be his "gold medal for avoiding death".

In the solemn and ethereal nunnery, the brown curtains extend relatively to the deepest part of the Buddhist hall one by one, making the Buddhist hall somewhat dark.A dark yellow bronze statue of Buddha sitting on a lotus flower about one foot high, holding a seal in his forehand, half-closed his eyebrows, and looked down at the believers sympathetically.

Mother Yao was still in the same white tunic and long-sleeved skirt, with a high nose bridge, closed almond eyes, drooping head and neck, chanting words with plain lips, her voice was inaudible, and her expression was reverent and awe-inspiring.

Standing behind her are young men and women in gorgeous lavender gold silk-trimmed dresses. The woman's blue hair is all gathered up, and a bun is loosely tied on one side, except for a lavender rare gold inlaid tourmaline gemstone. The seven-tailed phoenix walks away, and there are no other hair accessories. On the tender white and round earlobes are also a pair of long bead earrings of the same color. As you walk lightly, the step shaker and the earrings vibrate slightly. People can't help but want to go forward and observe carefully; the man is wearing a simple jade crown and belt, and his hands don't join hands to worship the Buddha like Yao's mother and women, but stand with hands behind their backs in a leisurely posture, with deep and bright stars Looking directly at the aloof Buddha, a trace of sarcasm overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

This couple is naturally Ningxiang and King Ning who came to the nunnery.

I don't know how long it took, the sky outside gradually darkened, and Haoyang, which was originally in the mid-heaven, was covered by thick clouds at some point, and the dry air miraculously began to permeate with a few wisps of cool water vapor, but the entire air pressure was lower than before. It is even more depressed, and it is quite a bit of the eerie tranquility before the rain is about to come.

Yao's mother put down the wooden fish and beads in her hands, leaned down again and kowtowed three times, chanting "Amitabha", ending her Buddhist practice today.

King Ning and Ning Xiang naturally stepped forward, helping Yao's mother up from the left and the right.The three of them stepped out of the somewhat narrow Buddhist hall, came to the middle hall, took a short rest, and began to explain the purpose of their visit.

Mother Yao slowly and regularly twirled the beads in her hand, and after hearing the intention of King Ning and the two of them, she muttered for a long time.In the end, he shook his head and refused.

"Mother knows that you are a filial child. I am delighted and moved that the prince is so considerate to the women because of the little girl. But my mother came to Weimo Temple to practice. I have been used to the simple and clean life in the Buddhist temple. Secondly, Ningxiang, you are just newly married after all, and your mother is a widow, so it is really unlucky to come to your house."

"The mother-in-law is worrying too much, and the son-in-law is so distracted. The son-in-law and Ningxiang don't care about these things. Presumably, Ningxiang would like to be filial to you for these false names. As for the son-in-law, seeing Ningxiang feel at ease and happy, we I'm happy." Ning Wang didn't wait for Ningxiang to object, and first said gently that Yao's mother's concerns don't need to be cared about, and it's reasonable, which makes people very happy.

"Yeah, mother! My brother has been running around because of the emperor's appointment recently, and he doesn't care about you. Occasionally, when we have a hurry with me, he often tells me to take good care of my mother for him. Now, the emperor doesn't know when... brother It is deep in the forbidden palace, it is inconvenient to go in and out, and there are frequent enemies with King Zheng and others. Once the emperor dies, those private soldiers who followed the vassal king into the capital will be unrestrained! After all, Chen Hao is the current King Ning, you follow us In the palace, at least it can protect you from possible military chaos in the capital, so that the elder brother who is deep in the forbidden palace can deal with King Zheng and others with peace of mind." Ning Xiang also persuaded worriedly, of course these words are naturally Before coming here, I only thought of it under the subtle guidance of King Ning.

However, although Ning Xiang still couldn't figure out her husband's plan, but thinking that Zheng Wang and others hated their ignorance, there was a possibility that she would jump over the wall and hold her mother hostage to force her elder brother to submit.And the husband is willing to help his brother, probably because Zheng Wang and others are also his potential enemies. He also covets the throne. Naturally, he does not want Zhu Houzhao to be defeated by Zheng Wang and others. On the contrary, he must hope to clean up with Zhu Houzhao and his brother. King Zheng and the others, it would be best for them to lose both, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman!

Thinking of this, Ning Xiang felt a little sad, no matter what, she always betrayed her brother and her friends, even to her mother, she also helped Chen Hao out of selfishness, it was really unfilial!However, no matter what, with me here, given how much Chen Hao cares about him, at least he doesn't have to worry about the safety of his mother and brother.Ningxiang felt uneasy, and only hoped that they could calmly accept the reality and everything would be as she wished...

Yao's mother couldn't think of her daughter's endless thoughts, but simply felt that her daughter's son-in-law's proposal was too taken for granted.

"Let's not talk about anything else, mother has another important reason because it is inconvenient for me to live in your house." Mother Yao sighed slightly, caressing her daughter's beauty and sighing, "Ningxiang, you forgot what you are Did you marry King Ning? In the name of the daughter of the famous Confucian Lou family of the Ming Dynasty, she was married from another courtyard of the Lou family! You are just newly married, and you are about to take over as your mother. Pimple? Even if they are willing to assume such a false identity for you, there must be an arrangement by your husband in exchange for benefits, but it is always not beautiful to have extra problems. Mother only hopes that you are safe and happy, and the rest of the future will be long, so don't rush for a while! "

When Ning Xiang and King Ning heard this, they looked at each other, Ning Xiang didn't know that Lou's family was King Ning's confidants, but felt that her behavior of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" was indeed too unjust, and her expression was impressive.If he really wanted to take his mother into the mansion when he was more than a month old, the outside world would definitely make rumors about Prince Ning's mansion and the Lou family, so he kept silent.

But Ning Wang still wanted to persuade Yao's mother to dispel her worries.To be honest, if it weren't for Gu Ningxiang, he would never have spent so much trouble and talk in vain, and he would have directly ordered Yao's mother to be secretly placed under house arrest.

Just as she was about to speak again, suddenly, Luo Ye, dressed as a palace maid with anxious eyes and hinting of joy, entered the Buddhist hall without the simultaneous interpretation, causing everyone to be surprised.

Before King Ning could speak out, Luo Ye quickly knelt down and reported; "My lord, the crown prince just sent someone to the palace to pass on the news. The emperor's condition suddenly worsened, and he will die at any time. The crown prince asks the prince to enter the palace quickly and be on standby at any time! "

Accompanied by this deafening news, a huge muffled thunder exploded in my ears. The originally peaceful sky was suddenly swept by a gust of wind, dark clouds covered the top, and the light of lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting the dim Buddhist hall. The human expression is hidden under the obscurity.

An indescribable ecstasy surged in King Ning's heart.The emperor who suppressed him for many years is finally leaving. From then on, no one in the world can threaten or hinder him!

Ning Xiang's mood is very complicated. She feels the unprecedented ease and arrogance of King Ning when he heard that the emperor is about to die. How to do it?

Yao's mother's face was already pale, and her dry lips trembled slightly. When she heard the news that the emperor would die at any time, her body was on the verge of collapse. When I came to the Buddha statue, I knelt down and prayed again, and then I slowly calmed down the sorrowful and agitated mood.

After King Ning and the others digested the huge news, Mother Yao's complexion had regained her composure, and only her pale face showed that she was actually not at peace.

"Mother-in-law, Ningxiang, I must enter the palace as soon as possible. As for the matter we just mentioned, let's put it aside for later. However, you also heard that the emperor's situation is not good. I am afraid that the whole city of Beijing has been under martial law. Ningxiang you Just stay here to accompany your mother-in-law, I will leave enough people just in case."

"Then be careful, come to see us as soon as the matter is over, don't make me worry too much!" Ning Xiang suppressed her uneasiness, her eyes were firm, and she told her husband.Seeing that her husband was sweating slightly on his forehead because he was shocked by the news, he wanted to groom him, but there was nothing suitable for him for a while.

Mother Yao sighed when she saw this, and handed an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with white camellia on her body to her daughter.It was an old object that she kept close to her body, and there was a pair of them.If she hadn't been disturbed by the news just now, she wouldn't have taken the wrong handkerchief without paying attention and handed this old thing to Ningxiang.

Later, King Ning saw that the time could not be delayed any longer, so he naturally took away the fragrant silk handkerchief, comforted him for a while, and galloped away with Luo Ye and the servant sent by the prince without looking back.

In the Vimo nunnery, Yao's mother continued to pray before, twisting the beads with her hands; Ningxiang leaned on the door and looked at the back of King Ning, feeling sad, and finally knelt on the futon behind her mother, clasped her palms, and prayed sincerely.

What they didn't know was that King Ning, who had galloped away for a while, was holding the reins and standing upright on the official road into the inner city, looking at the silk handkerchief that Yao's mother wore all the year round in his hand, with a proud expression on his face, it was exactly as depicted by the dark line, and The piece carefully hidden in the emperor's hand is a pair!

With this token, if the emperor wants to be "uneasy and kind" when he is dying, let him see this familiar "old friend's thing", forgive him and dare not act rashly again!

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, who will control the ups and downs?Forbidden City, the king is here!
