Chapter 98: Read all the things that have passed through the years (Part 2)
One day, the autumn is prosperous, the blue sky outside the window is bright and beautiful, and the clouds are blooming. There are strange flowers and trees planted on the remote platform of Pengdao. The scenery is bright and beautiful at any time. At this time, the maple trees were dripping with bright red, mixed with golden patches, and they looked enchanting and charming. There is also a blue sky as a foil, and it is far-reaching and clear.
I only looked at the sunny courtyard, and my heart flew out. I was sleepy when I lay or sat on the big bed for several days. I just want to take a look around and breathe.
It happened that Hui Ju came in, and I called her to the bed: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, I have something to ask in the palace."
I watched Hui Ju go out and got out of bed gently, no longer feeling tired and fatigued, but hoped to walk into the refreshing courtyard, even if it was only a moment and a half. I also feel that the dim smell in this room is stale.
"Niangniang, you call the old minister." Across a layer of gauze, it can be seen that it was the first doctor Zhang who diagnosed my pregnancy. He still asked with the gentlest eyes.
I nodded, seeing that he didn't question or dissuade me from getting out of bed, I smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang, my palace has been in this palace for half a month. I really want to go out and breathe. The medicine you prescribed is very effective, and my palace feels much better. It happens to be sunny today and the weather is pleasant. My palace wants to walk around this island to relieve the long-term burnout. How do you think?"
There was a smile in the eyes of Emperor Zhang. He turned his head and looked outside. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The minister must first ask the Niang Niang Mai to inform the Niang Niang. In addition, this must be notified to the emperor.
I was stunned for a moment: "I have to tell the emperor about such a small matter? I don't think it is necessary for my palace." As I said, I walked back to the bed, Hui Ju had tied a red silk on my wrist.
I closed my eyes, my heart was in the most peaceful state, and soon I heard the voice of Doctor Zhang: "The body of the mother is indeed well restored, but I still need to pay attention, after all..."
He didn't go on, but I knew what he meant. In my heart, I value this child more than Shen Xiyao, and naturally I won't allow myself to make any mistakes.
"If the empress is really uncomfortable in this room, it's okay to go out for a walk, but it shouldn't be long, at most one hour." Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and said.
I jumped up in my heart and nodded again and again. Hui Ju looked at me and couldn't help laughing.
After the doctor Zhang left, Hui Ju changed my clothes and said jokingly: "I feel so happy when I go out. The empress is really like a child today."
I sat in front of the huge bronze mirror and watched Huiju take out pieces of clothing for me to choose.
"Since the empress looks good today and wants to go for a walk, how about the servant girl dressing up for the empress carefully?" Huiju asked, shaking away an autumn-scented peony-colored palace dress in her hand.
I looked at the person in the mirror and nodded. After a while, under the service of Huiju, I changed into an autumn-flavored Yanbo Gongjinzhu flower dress, covered in a long cloak of silver phoenix feathers, and inserted a peacock feather diagonally. Such a turquoise hairpin hangs down a string of finely divided sapphires, and a light yellow hibiscus is worn on the temples, which makes the eyebrows squiggly and black hair like clouds.
Hui Ju was tapping a peach flower on the center of my eyebrows for me, and a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Hui Ju's hand shook slightly, and the petals of the flower fell apart. I lightly frowned and took out the silk paw to wipe, and heard Zhang Dehai's announcement sound.
"The emperor is here."
I looked back and found that Shen Xiyao, who was walking through the door, had unhidden joy on his face, like the sunshine in March.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend slightly, and his face still has an air of pride, which sets off the head of the crowd, exquisitely elegant and proud.
I smiled at him, crescent eyebrows and white teeth, jade is natural.
"Why is the emperor here?" I asked after standing up and saluting. I hadn't seen him for half a month in a row. I always thought that he would never go to this Pengdao remote platform again.
After all, I did something like that.
After all, he also said, keep me alive just for the child in my womb.
After all, I am just the queen in name of Da Xi.
"Great victory!" Shen Xiyao raised up a hand-painted moon-floating blue water yellow silk memorial in his hand, with piercing eyes and endless smiles on his face. After that, he walked up to me and handed the memorial to me, his eyes waved and his face was full of spring breeze.
I stretched out my hand, but still paused, "The emperor, this might be out of order. After all, I am a woman and cannot be involved in politics."
Shen Xiyao gave a noncommittal smile: "I will let you see, who else would have objections?"
I nodded and took it carefully, and the familiar font of the second brother came into view. There was a burst of inexplicable excitement and comfort in my heart, and my hands trembled.
From the memorial, it can be seen that as soon as the second brother led his troops into the high mountains of Shu, he was invaded by the enemy. Fortunately, the second brother was familiar with the terrain and made preparations in advance. With the advantage of this place, he won the battle, although he was not completely wiped out. But it also caused heavy damage to the enemy, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
Below the memorial, there is a line of Zhu's comment: Since October, I have been convicted of soldiers in the southwest. Today, I heard what you have played, so you don’t need to relieve the trouble of the night. You have achieved half of your work, and you are still waiting for success. Wanger, etc., keep in mind the lessons learned, and I hope you will succeed in Beijing.
I was taken aback. Seeing that Shen Xiyao's imperial criticism meant that he would not return to Beijing until his second brother completely wiped out the enemy.
However, the war is important, and it is about the safety of the country, and it is indeed not careless. I was worried and proud in my heart. The men of our Ling family are better than one.
"When your brother returns to court, I will give you a big reward." Shen Xiyao sat down on the red wooden stool by the window, looked up at me and said.
My hand paused, and then he met his eyes: "The emperor, this is what the concubine brother should do. The emperor trusts him to win before giving him the title of general. This victory is only a return to the emperor's kindness. More Besides..."
I smiled and handed the memorial back to Shen Xiyao. My eyes fell on the kit hanging on his body, and then he paused for a while and said: "What's more, the meaning of the queen mother is not to marry the eldest princess after the big victory? It is his duty."
Shen Xiyao nodded: "The children of your Ling family are all people who understand the righteousness. They won't ask me for the glory. However, because of this, I will give them a reward."
I knelt down and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor for the elder brother first." The string of sapphires dangled beside his face, with a clear light.
Shen Xiyao's eyes kept falling on me. He looked at me carefully for a long time before saying: "Why did you get out of bed?"
I sat down on the stool opposite him, looked over him and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, smiled and said, "Doesn't the emperor think today's sky is particularly beautiful?"
I could see from the outside, his expression was in my purest smile.
There is a small garden on Pengdao Yaotai. Although I have lived here for a long time, I don't know anything about it. The garden is just behind the Wanfang Anhe Temple, and there is a pool of autumn water next to it. The white jade paved ground here has thousands of paths with hundreds of turns, and every time you turn, there is a wonderful scenery in front of you. At the last turn, my eyes suddenly opened up, and it was a wide surface of water.
At this time, there were patches of fallen leaves on the water. I stood by the water and looked at my reflection in the clear lake. It was Shen Xiyao who led me over. Wearing flowers and willows all the way, the body is stained with a little fragrance.
I stand alone by the water, feeling the comfort of the breeze, and all the sleepiness of the past few days has been swept away, leaving only refreshing. Breathing in big mouths, my heart is unexplainable. Hands on the lower abdomen, the heart is warm.
Shen Xiyao left after bringing me here, leaving a large number of attendants to guard around, but hidden behind that layer of flowers and trees, so that I can feel it alone.
My heart suddenly became empty in such an atmosphere, boundless loneliness and loneliness flooded my heart, and the heart that had been quiet for a long time was messed up for a while. Suddenly I heard a soft "chuckling" laughter, and huge joy filled my heart. When I turned around, Shen Xiyao was standing behind me holding Linglong. Linglong had already seen me and stretched out her little hand to ask me to hug.
My eyes were filled with tears, and the surrounding scenery had a different style at this time.
"I promised you that I will allow you to see Linglong when you get better." Shen Xiyao explained, "Since you are better now, naturally you will do what you say."
I nodded, hugged Linglong in my arms, and kissed her soft cheek. Linglong stretched out her little hand to grab the yellow silk flower on my head, her expression was very cute.
I looked up at Shen Xiyao with gratitude in my eyes: "The emperor, the concubines thanked the emperor."
Speaking of going down, Shen Xiyao supported me and shook his head gently. "Don't hug for a long time, after all you are a person with a body." Shen Xiyao faintly exhorted.
I held Linglong sitting by the water, pointing at the surrounding flowers and plants to show her and teasing her. Linglong held the silk flower I was wearing before, and looked around with her eyes, while staring back at the silk flower in her hand, with a pure smile. I looked at her less round face, and felt a little distressed. But the heart that had been hanging was also let go.
After all, Shen Xiyao's ability to bring her here shows that Linglong's illness should be cured.
Shen Xiyao has been standing by my side, looking at me and Linglong with the gentlest smile. In his eyes are unconcealed love and affection, as well as satisfaction and hope. From time to time, he also talked to Linglong in my arms, completely in the attitude of a father, but not an emperor. At this time, he removed the emperor's shell, and he was just a happy man.
And I, in this state, doesn't seem to be the queen. I have forgotten the old hatred and hatred. I am just an ordinary woman with the most beautiful things in the world.
"Holding for so long, so tired." After about half an hour, Shen Xiyao took Linglong back from my hand: "You should rest too. Although you are sitting, it is not good to hold for a long time."
As he said, he looked down at Linglong again, and the exquisite nurse who had been standing far away came forward and said in a low voice and respectfully: "The emperor, it's time for the little princess to breastfeed."
Shen Xiyao tapped Linglong a few times, with very skillful gestures. It seemed that he really liked this daughter. After Linglong giggled, she was handed over to the nurse. I watched the nurse walk into a pavilion not far away with Linglong, and then looked back at Shen Xiyao.
It was almost dusk at this time, although the sun was bright, but the surrounding temperature dropped slightly. Shen Xiyao retied the streamer of the shawl for me, and a kiss fell on my forehead.
"I miss you.
That kiss was very light. The light is like the softest feather, gently brushing my forehead.
For a long time afterwards, this kiss was like a soldering iron deeply imprinted on my heart.
This kiss seemed to kiss away all the sadness and hatred in my heart in an instant. I seem to have forgotten all the previous ones, only remember the right temperature, and at the same time Shen Xiyao's hands that hugged me tightly, warm and powerful.
The heart that has been wrapped in loneliness, loneliness, hatred, sorrow, and worry relaxes and feels unprecedented peace and harmony.
