Huaibi

Chapter 20

The next day, Ping Huaizhen ordered someone to return the ancient album to Zangshu Pavilion, Jiang Chang made an excuse to go there that night, and saw that the book really disappeared in a blink of an eye.No name or surname was left on the book, so the reason why the sixth prince was so sneaky was that he had a bad mind and deliberately covered it up.

Ping Huaizhen happily went to Fengyi Hall to pay her respects to the Empress, but only chatted and did not tell her about it.

The queen didn't think about it too much, seeing the prince's radiant spirit while talking, suddenly revealing many old things.

She thought about the appearance of the woman outside the palace through her eyes, and suddenly felt that the hatred and defense deep in her heart had been suffocated for more than ten years, but it was really meaningless.That woman could not lose her position as the Mother of the Nation, and could not accept Ping Huaizhen to her knees until death, but she was just a pitiful person just like her.

Now that I think back to what happened in Xianshan last winter, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it's hard to say where the reserve position is at this moment.But it was precisely because Ping Huaizhen was the blood of Emperor Hongxuan's most desired and rare person that he could get such heavy favoritism.

The queen instantly understood that the so-called weak affection of the emperor, I hope that his affection for Princess Chengyuan can last longer, at least until Ping Huaizhen is fearless and invincible...

"Mother?"

She stared at Ping Huaizhen quietly, which made Ping Huaizhen gradually feel strange, and stopped what he was saying to call her.

The queen regained her composure, pulled her thoughts back from outside the palace, and smiled gently at him.Ping Huaizhen thought it was very interesting, and asked: "What is the queen mother thinking that she is so intoxicated?"

"I wonder when Zhen'er became so big. It was clearly not as tall as the queen mother's waist before, and she staggered when she walked..." The queen stretched out her hands to compare, as if the little boy who was walking by the hem of her clothes was still there.

Ping Huaizhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Children always have to grow up."

"Yes," the queen nodded, and looked out of the window. "The queen also wants to see you grow up."

A drop of water fell from the sky on the branches and leaves outside the courtyard.

It is raining.

On a rainy March night in spring, the emperor, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, walked in the rain in a suit of ordinary clothes.

Princess Chengyuan was no longer imprisoned in the dormitory years ago.I don't know what Chengyuan Wang An was thinking, suddenly got himself drunk a few months ago, broke into the room, wrapped in a pungent alcohol smell, and stared at her fiercely.

Princess Chengyuan, who had already fallen asleep, woke up from her dream. She screamed in fright and frantically pressed the dagger under her pillow.Her palms trembled violently, but when she was about to stab the dagger out, King Chengyuan stepped back two steps, and his fierce eyes turned into a pool of stagnant water.

Liangyue broke into the inner room, and the man stood quietly by the bed, as if lifeless.

The concubine suppressed her heart with fear, cold sweat slipped from her forehead to her neck, and after a long while, she finally spoke with a trembling voice, "You...why are you looking for me?"

King Chengyuan didn't answer for a long time, she hesitated for a while, turned over and went to the table to pour water with him.

The poison Tangli was looking for was hidden in the cabinet, and the night was dark, if she poured the poison into the cup at this moment... the princess was in a state of confusion, hesitated at every step, her feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

In the end, he didn't go to the cabinet, but poured a cup of clear herbal tea.

King Chengyuan never uttered a word, not knowing whether he was drunk or awake, he stared at her for a long time, then drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, stumbled and left at night.The door slammed softly, but it was not closed, and the night wind blew through several curtains, making people sober.Princess Chengyuan sat back by the bed feebly, without any sleepiness all night.

Walking out of the room the next day, none of the palace guards guarding the dormitory were left behind.

The concubine was inexplicably punished and grounded, and now she is inexplicably lifted. People who don't know it can only think that it is a husband and wife quarrel, and no rumors have spread.And the happiest person in the whole mansion is the eldest son Ping Xiya, who got up early in the morning and rushed to the courtyard, and picked up his mother and concubine to make up for the coquettishness that he hadn't seen in the past few days, carefree, cheerful and lively.

Princess Chengyuan hugged him, her heart was not clear about the melancholy, she knew that the thorns from the past were still stuck in the same place, the grievances and grievances were not over, but at this moment they were just diving under the surface of the water for the time being.After thinking about it, she was extremely entangled, so she hid the small bottle of poison deeper in the wooden cabinet, locked herself in the Buddhist hall and chanted scriptures for a whole day, praying that there would not be a moment where her hands would be stained with blood...

Familiar footsteps came from the courtyard, and Princess Chengyuan came back to her senses, with surprise in her eyes.She paused, then quickly got off the bed, before wrapping up a coat, she trotted out to greet her with bare feet.

Emperor Hongxuan appeared in front of his eyes, the princess looked at him quietly, her eyes were astringent, she smiled for a long time, and said slightly blessedly: "Concubine..."

Emperor Hongxuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he frowned and carried her back to the inner room.

"The spring night is cold, why don't you want to wear shoes?"

"Does the emperor still remember his concubines?"

"I've been really busy in the past few months, and I haven't had time to see you. It's my fault." Emperor Hongxuan felt ashamed in his heart, and his words were half-truths and half-false.

It is true to be busy, but not necessarily free.

At first, it was Ping Huaizhen who set him on fire and made him angry, and even the princess refused to see him when he was still angry; later, Ping Huaizhen was devout and introspective, he lost his anger, but he was entangled in all kinds of things in the spring, and there were many concubines in the palace. So I don't even remember the princess.

If it weren't for the continuous rain today, I don't know when I will think of this lonely woman.

"I remember that the first time I saw you was the weather like today. You entered the palace with your mother, and unexpectedly it rained in spring and wet your temples." Emperor Hongxuan carefully laid her down and coaxed her softly, "I just took a look at you, No matter what, I can’t let it go.”

But those who can't let go, are willing to let go and let others go, so that they end up in such absurd situation.Princess Chengyuan is not without grievances in her heart, but her sincerity has already been delivered, and now she can be coaxed into favor with just a few words, and even the long-awaited complaints have disappeared without a trace.

She looked at Emperor Hongxuan with a smile, listened to the tender words he sent back after a long time, and when he was in a good mood, she asked: "How is Zhen'er?"

"Okay, now that I'm over sixteen, I'm more able to be on my own, which comforts me."

After hearing these words, Princess Chengyuan let go of her concerns and worries a lot in the past few days, and finally felt a bit of peace of mind that the old things had settled down.

Emperor Hongxuan said again: "If you really miss him, you can also visit the palace from time to time. I will always find a way for you to see him... You don't like going to the palace anymore."

Princess Chengyuan raised her head, and her eyes moved endlessly.But the surprise on her face was fleeting, she could not bear to shake her head and rebuffed: "It is inconvenient for the concubine to enter the palace often."

Emperor Hongxuan guessed a few reasons, and it must be related to King Chengyuan. All kinds of complicated and unspeakable things made him feel helpless, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "In short, come if you want, if you don't, Xiya will accompany you , I am relieved a lot."

Speaking of children, Princess Chengyuan smiled again.

"He is well-behaved and sensible, just as smart and intelligent as Zhen'er when he was young."

"You and my child, it should be like this."

As Emperor Hongxuan said, he took off his clothes and went to the bed, and took off the water-colored bed curtain.

Soft words, just leave it to the pillow.

A spring rain washes away the dust and dirt, and the next day is sunny, and the morning sun is as bright as gold, spreading the entire capital city with warmth.

He Jinyi woke up early, not knowing why he was in such high spirits, he rushed into the palace after eating breakfast in a hurry.When he arrived at Xu'an Hall, Ping Huaizhen had just finished his meal, and the dishes on the table were not ready to be removed.

Ping Huaizhen was a little surprised to see him panting slightly, and pulled him to the table to drink a cup of tea, and couldn't help teasing: "I didn't know that Jin Yi thought about me so unbearably, and was so anxious to see you so early in the morning. I."

He Jinyi didn't mind being teased by him. He sipped his tea and smiled, bent his eyes. After putting down his teacup, he hurried to the side of the long painting in the center of the hall.

The sky is full of clouds and the momentum is torrential, and the red golden sunlight comes from outside the Jiuchongtian, passing through the clouds, shocking the world.

Ping Huaizhen couldn't take his eyes off, couldn't bear to be disturbed, secretly marveled.

Half an hour had passed before finishing the pen. He Jinyi examined the drawing paper for a moment, seemed satisfied, and then said: "Last night, I dreamed that the green dragon soared into the sky and disturbed the sea of ​​clouds. I was afraid I would forget this magnificent scene, so I was in a hurry Draw it."

Ping Huaizhen nodded to Hua, very pleased: "With your help, I will be like a tiger with wings added."

He Jinyi laughed lowly: "Is the crown prince praising me or himself?"

"Let's praise it together," Ping Huaizhen took the brush from his hand and put it on the pen holder, took him back to the table and sat down, and coaxed, "Jin Yi came in such a hurry, can I eat too early? I ordered Bring some warm porridge from the kitchen."

"I've used it," He Jinyi took the opportunity to jokingly go back, "I was afraid that you would tie me up for dinner and delay my painting, so I came here just to eat."

Ping Huaizhen shook his head amusedly.

"Then eat some more, you eat too fast, you must not be half full."

"Full, very full."

"Then I'm still hungry," Ping Huaizhen said unreasonably, "Jin Yi will accompany me to use it again."

As he said that, he really called the maid to order the meals, all he wanted was what He Jinyi liked to eat.He Jinyi didn't argue with him too much, and simply complied with him.

Fortunately, I have drawn everything I saw in the dream, and I hope that his hard work can really add to the icing on the cake for Ping Huaizhen.
