Chapter 155 Long Days to Come 4
I didn't fully understand what Hongzhi meant. After saying that, he turned his head and went to see me in a few days. At the same time, the news came from Bixiao Hall half a month later that Yan Jingwen's son and mother and son were safe. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun felt the Bixiao Hall that night, and Li Shimin named him Zhen, Li Zhen.
The whole palace was shrouded in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and looking at the candlelight in the hall in the night, there was some cold air in the warmth. This night is normal, but someone has not been here for a long time. Muyan, please see me. When I came in, the maid of honor was holding a basket in my hand. I greeted her with a smile.
Muyan asked me for blessings and smiled and said, "Yan Zhaoyi gave birth successfully, thanks to the care of the people in the palace, so my concubine helped her send a few red eggs to each palace, and asked the Empress Defei not to dislike it."
I smiled gently and said, "What's the word?" Thank you Yan Zhaoyi for this palace. I will definitely visit her when the Japanese palace is changed.
Muyan put two red eggs on the desk, and Yingying left: "Then wait for the Empress Defei, and my concubine will say goodbye first."
After I saw Muyan leave the hall, I turned back to the hall, but I heard the Qinger behind me scream: "Mother, this egg..."
I looked back and saw a crack in the red egg, and a corner of paper was faintly exposed from it. I just thought that Muyan just sent red eggs for Yan Jingwen, and I didn't want there was another mystery in it. When I retreated to the people in the hall, Qinger gently picked up the red egg of the cracked shell and pulled it. The egg cracked crisply, with a note in it, which said: See you as soon as possible!
I just realized that when Muyan said she was waiting, there was an aggravated tone of this sentence. Didn't she want me to go to the Bixiao Hall as soon as possible? She wanted me to have something to say to me when I was visiting Yan Jingwen?
I was really uneasy about this matter. The next day, I went to the Bixiao Hall. Mu Yan was already waiting in the hall, saying that she was replacing the concubine who came to visit Yan Jingwen. As soon as I entered the hall, the door behind me was closed. I came to my senses and looked at Mu Yan in front of me: "Mu Zhaoyuan, what are you doing?"
Muyan lifted my arm and whispered, "Oh, sister, we all know your real purpose for me and Yan Zhaoyi before. At this time, you don't have to pretend anymore."
I was stunned, recovered, and sighed, "Why did you come to me this time?"
"For the sake of Director Shangyuan, your brother!" Mu Yan said seriously. When I heard this, I looked at her doubtfully, wondering how much she knew. Muyan pouted and obviously didn't like Hongzhi. She said, "Do you remember the time I told you to go to the Shangshe Bureau? I want you to be single-minded and solve the problem. I don't want to cause more trouble instead of ending it. With a lock between my eyebrows, my heart beat fiercely, and a bad feeling surged. She continued, "One day I will accompany Yan Zhaoyi to relax and see General Qin in the palace. I also know that Yan Zhaoyi once had feelings for him, but now she can't be distracted at first sight, and she fell stupidly. General Qin half held Yan Zhaoyi and half hugged him to sit in the pavilion. This was nothing, and many soldiers also saw clearly. General Qin just raised his hands, but Mo Zhichang secretly colluded with Wei Zhaorong, not only issuing a warning letter to slander, but also drugged people. Wei Zhaorong was cured, but Mo Zhichang was still there. As soon as Yan Zhaoyi finished giving birth, he sent some fruits, and the fruit was vomited and diarrhea. Yan Zhaoyi is still weak and still in confinement. I can't imagine what would happen if she entered her mouth.
I didn't expect it to be completely different words. I was suddenly stunned and trembled, "Is this...real?"
Muyan said, "Don't you believe us? What I said is true!"
I was confused by what she said and only grasped the key point. I didn't believe it and asked, "But he is my brother. What's the reason to collude with Wei Zhaorong?"
Muyan hurriedly explained again: "Everyone in the palace knows that you broke up with Yan Zhaoyi and me. First, he helped you get rid of the women who fought with you in the palace. Yan Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaorong are all. The second is that he fell in love with the maid beside Wei Zhaorong! With deep affection for her, Wei Zhaorong threatened him with this, and he agreed to her for his own selfish desires. However, the maid died a few days ago. I heard that Wei Zhaorong hated it for being useless and Mo Zhichang for blaming her for everything, so he killed the maid of honor.
Although what I said was a little abrupt, I couldn't say anything wrong for a moment. I shook my head in confusion and frowned: "This thing is getting more and more messy. Let me think about it and think about it clearly.
Muyan held my hand and looked pitiful: "Sister must believe me. We don't have enough evidence. He is your own brother. I just begged him never to hurt us."
In the distance, Yan Jingwen on the couch was asleep, deeply locked between her eyebrows, and her pale face was sweating. Her fingers grasped the soft cushion on the couch tightly and had to look pitiful. I don't understand half of what Hongzhi said before. For the time being, no matter who is true or who is false, there is only one result in my heart: he really can't stay in the palace.
In late autumn, the wild cold wind outside the city was strong. The green of the past had disappeared, and the roaring cool wind mixed with the dry smell of hay blew into this majestic imperial city. I asked Li Shimin directly without Hongzhi's opinion. In the two halls, he and I were the only two. He looked at me for a long time and said nothing. Finally, a sharp bird song outside the house broke the silence. He asked, "I found your brother for you. Why do you want to resign for him today?"
I said, "Hongzhi is not suitable to stay in the palace. Maybe he encountered too many things when he was a child, and his nature was too ungry. It is extremely bad to be in this palace."
Li Shimin paused slightly, but asked me, "There were too many things in his childhood... Does he still remember his childhood?"
I said, "How can I forget? My sister entered the palace and my father died. Although I felt sorry for him, I had to accompany him again.
Li Shimin turned his eyes out of the window and quietly leaned on the chair. His eyes were deep and immeasurable. I don't know what he was thinking, and the final answer I got was his promise. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. After returning to Deqing Palace, I immediately invited Hongzhi to come.
"I have asked the emperor to resign for you and found a house in Chang'an. You can sort it out a little and go out of the palace." After he arrived, I said bluntly. He was so angry that he hurried back and forth in the hall: "Sister, you... you are so unreasonable!"
I ignored his anger about this matter, and I said coldly, "It's hard to disobey the emperor's order. You'd better prepare as soon as possible!" I have my own affairs in the palace. You don't have to worry about it.
Hongzhi couldn't, and Daxiu left angrily. On that day, he left the palace. After he left, a trace of sadness climbed into my heart. I forced him to leave. How could I feel better?
In the period after Hongzhi left the palace, she rose from Zheng Sanpin Jieyu to Zheng Er Chongrong. She undoubtedly spent the most time with Li Shimin in the palace. Like other concubines, I can only see Li Shimin occasionally. After Wei Zhaorong entered the imperial palace, no one has dared to provoke trouble for a long time. In addition, Empress Changsun and Wei Wei, Yang Fei and I are managed, and the disputes in the harem have gradually decreased, but I can still feel the dark surge. The calmer it is, the more panicked it is. During this period, it is suppressed in the hearts of those people, and I am afraid that at the moment of the outbreak, it will cause a bloody storm.
I still don't dare to make too good friends with anyone, and even the frank Mu Yan is Yan Jingwen and doesn't want to go to the party. The people in the palace are sharp-eyed. Once they see who is close to whom, they will start to fight.
In the second year of Zhenguan, Li You was awarded the title of King of Yan and worshipped the Assassin of Tongzhou. Among them, he changed his official title many times. Just because I felt that Li You had liked to read poetry and was not good at military affairs, so he proposed to Li Shimin not to deliver major military land. Li Shimin answered me, but he could not lose Li You's position among other brothers, so he was often in a dilemma. Until the 10th year of Zhenguan (liu san liu), Li You was 14 years old and was awarded the title of King of Qi, the military governor of Qizhou, Qi Qing and other five states, and the governor of Qizhou. After the year, he moved to the fief after the year.
And Li You refused to leave the palace and hugged me tightly and said, "Don't go to Qizhou, don't go!"
I said angrily, "How can I not go? How can I not go!" Except for the prince, all the princes will go to the fief approved by your father to help your father manage the place.
"My son knows." Li You still looked reluctant and lowered his head and whispered, "My ministers only like to read and write, hunt and make friends, for fear of not taking on great responsibility and making my father and mother angry!"
I held his palm, which was almost bigger than me, and said seriously, "With your masters following, don't be a big deal. You'er is already a man and should take responsibility.
Li You raised his eyebrows, retreated his palm and ran out of Deqing Palace angrily. There was a fierce cold wind and heavy snow outside. I hurriedly called several palacemen to take a cloak to follow up, and sighed and sadly for his fief. Unexpectedly, only three days later, before I could persuade him, Li You miraculously compromised. Just as I was relieved, he said, "Mother, I want my uncle to accompany me."
I was shocked and replied, "My uncle is busy with his own business. My mother can ask the emperor to allow me to stay there for a while until you are familiar with it."
Li You looked determined and shook his head and said, "No, I only need my uncle to accompany me. The mother concubine wants to help Empress Changsun manage the harem and quietly change the paper and ink for her father every day. If you leave with me, what should Empress Changsun do? What should my father do?
As the palm of my hand tightened, I grabbed him and asked, "Who taught you these words?"
Li You didn't even think about it and said, "No one taught me. It's all my son's own thinking."
Absolutely not. How could he suddenly mention Hongzhi? I hummed and walked out of the Deqing Palace and walked to the palace gate. When I arrived at the mouth of the palace, Qing'er borrowed it to record, and I saw that Hongzhi's name was written on the thin book within three days. I don't know what Hongzhi agreed to Li You, which made Li You force him to accompany him to the fiefdom, but it was good that he could persuade Li You. They were uncles and nephews, and they were ultimately my younger brothers. No matter how cruel he was to others, he would not harm his own people. Maybe he just wanted to prove his strength. Thinking about not seeing him for the past eight years, I really sighed a little about him.
