Chapter 104 (1/2)
In spring, apricot blossoms are all over the head. Under the tree, there is a bluestone table with a cup of fragrant tea on the table. Inside the Jade Butterfly is a delicate lotus cake. Breeze blowing, bursts of rain and flowers, falling in profusion, square fell on a person under the tree.
At the Royal ancestral temple, the man, dressed in a black dress, looked down at the chess pieces on the table. He was playing chess with himself, black in one hand and white in the other. Because I can't see my face clearly when I look down, I just look at the plain clothes. My lower body is slim and graceful. I can't hold my waist. I have long legs and thin waist. My chest is beautiful. It's a pleasure to look at it from a distance.
A girl dressed as a servant girl trotted over from a distance. Her smile was sweet and lovely. She called from a distance: ”girl, girl.”
Dai Yi girl eyebrows slightly move, standing on both sides of the two slightly older maid stare at the girl who trotted over: ”dew, how can you be so bold, quiet, disturb the girl playing chess.”
Dewdrop spits out her tongue. Compared with the innocent little girl three years ago, she is a little longer now and more pleasant and smart. She slowed down and went to daiyi girl: ”I'm too happy. Everything has been packed. The Empress Dowager has already ordered me to leave early tomorrow morning.”
The girl in Dai's clothes had finished her last son. She raised her face and showed a face that was not as beautiful as the world could have. Even in the temple wearing plain clothes, also Leng is a kind of irresistible gorgeous. The small face, which used to be a little childish, is now thin and looks even bigger. A pair of eyes are crystal clear and moist, like a flowing spring and a transparent amber gem. The redder the lips and the whiter the teeth are, the looser the hair is, and there is also a kind of lazy charm.
Forsythia is a stay, their own girls have been born well, these few years, more beautiful than words, even they are close to the servant girl sometimes look lost. I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause in Beijing. If you think about it in this way, you will feel uneasy. Excessive beauty is not a good thing, especially the inability to protect beauty. However, the Empress Dowager Yide was protecting her, and there was nothing wrong with her.
”It's been three years,” he said with a smile
Time is fleeting. In the past three years, she followed the Empress Dowager to chant sutras and meditate in vegetarian clothes. She accompanies the Empress Dowager every day. Because of her excellent patience, she is not as impatient as an ordinary girl when she listens to the master chanting scriptures, which is quite popular with empress dowager Yide. Over the past three years, little by little, she has infiltrated into the life of empress Yide, quietly courting her and slowly letting her accept that she is not princess Yuanrong, but also making her feel like treating her daughter.
Ten days ago, Empress Dowager Yide personally presided over her hairpin ceremony and asked people to send a letter to Beijing asking for her title of princess. The Emperor allowed her to be named Princess Hong'an.
Tomorrow, I will leave for Beijing. When I return to the palace, everyone will know that the new princess of Dajin Dynasty, her identity will be different from the past.
In the past few years, I have been raised by Empress Yide, but I have never deliberately inquired about the outside news. There was no letter from the Chiang family. Sometimes empress Yide asked her to listen to the news from the frontier battlefield between Tianjin and Dajin. It is gratifying that in the past three years, Jiang Xinzhi has repeatedly broken the war situation, made great achievements, fought side by side with Guan Lianghan, and even did not lose Guan Lianghan's bravery. In addition, every time when the enemy has a surprise attack, he can always start first. Another god of war of the great Jin Dynasty falls on Jiang Xinzhi.
Then the war had not been completely settled, and Jiang Xinzhi could not return to Beijing for the time being. So the legend became more and more popular.
Empress Dowager Yide was lying on the couch, smiling faintly: ”girl Ruan, you have a capable brother.”
Jiang Ruan nodded, and a layer of pride floated in his heart.
For the past three years, she has settled down with the life of listening to Zen and chanting Sutras in the ancestral temple, and has no idea of what happened outside. In Empress Dowager Yide's eyes, she is like an ordinary boudoir girl. She has never been different. But Jiang Ruan knew that those hatred had never been removed from her heart. She knelt down in front of the Buddha's golden body, looking devout, but cursing in her heart. She smiles at the little Sami of Sasa, thinking about how to destroy all those people step by step. Every night, she leans on the head of the bed, and the scenes of her last life pass by. The more indignant she is, the more gentle her expression is.
She's doing evil things at the feet of Buddha, so what?
The journey back to Beijing is about to start. I wonder if those people are ready to go to hell?
With a faint smile, Jiang Ruan looked at the chessboard under the apricot tree. He saw that the white man had run out of sunspots and seemed to be in a mess. However, he was in a dilemma. The white man had no way back, and the black man was killed step by step.
She gently flicked the chessboard, wide sleeve after, chessboard pieces rolling, win or lose back.
Everything is just beginning.
……
In the 11th year of Xuande, empress Yide returned to Beijing.
The capital is very busy on this day. There are many people in teahouses and restaurants who talk about it. Empress Yide left Beijing three years ago and returned to Beijing today. It is said that the emperor welcomed her with all the civil and military officials, which is unprecedented. The ordinary people in Pingtou can't see this grand occasion any more, so they have to think about it in their heart. As if I could see it with my own eyes.
It happened to be a fine day again. The spring day came earlier than usual. In the morning, the sun seemed to know that today was a big day. It was even brighter than yesterday.In Jiang's mansion, Xia Yan was gently arranging Jiang Quan's official clothes. She said with a smile, ”I've made the small kitchen the sweet scented osmanthus chicken that the master likes to eat today.”
Jiang Quan frowned slightly: ”you don't need to do these trifles. Just give them to your servants.” His vision falls on the abdomen of Xia Yan: ”you are good to raise the body.”
Xia Yan's eyebrows suddenly flashed a ray of joy: ”speaking, I haven't arranged a room for my master these days, and I'm a clever girl around me...”
”No need,” Jiang Quan waved his hand. ”There are also red tassels. I'll go first. Your majesty has a metaphor today. Don't delay the time.” Then he buttoned the top two buttons of the neckline and went out in a hurry.
After Jiang Quan went out, the smile on Xia Yan's face suddenly disappeared. He thought it was a good thing to be pregnant, but he gave Hongying the opportunity to take advantage of it. Jiang Quan hasn't been in her yard for a long time, so she has to give everything to Hongying. Now, she can't even put Linlang in the past.
She sat down in despair. Seeing this, she handed over a cup of jujube honey: ”madam, don't be angry with the master. Be careful to hurt the young master.”
”Mammy, I'm not willful,” Xia Yan said with a trace of sadness: ”he only knows that today is the day when the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, but he doesn't know that today is also the day when su'er returns to the palace. Su'er has been in the temple for three years. I haven't seen her for three years. But you see, he didn't even ask today. Is there still su'er in his heart? ”
Xia Yan's tone was so sad that mammy Li quickly said, ”madam, don't say any more of these words. If you are heard by that one, I'm afraid you'll be gossiping in front of the master.”
”That one” naturally refers to the fifth aunt Hongying. In recent years, Hongying's position in Jiang's mansion has become more and more stable, and she can almost compete with Xia Yan. Although mother Li said this, Xia Yan was angry at the moment. He only said angrily, ”bah, it's just the girl who came out of the kiln. It's not all by seducing men. She can't get on the stage!”
If someone passes by at this moment, he will be surprised. Xia Yan, who has always been famous as a talented woman in the capital, is full of such words, just like a shrew in the countryside.
Seeing that Xia Yan was like this, Mammy Li quickly comforted her and said, ”why do you have to worry with that starter? No matter how much you are favored, you can't have a child. It's not for your wife to handle it. Men are all fresh. The master was just confused by the fox for a moment. When she was old and had no children, she would not come to a good end. When his wife gave birth to a young master for him, the master naturally knew that only his wife really treated him. The lady has a young master by her side. What are you afraid of
Xia Yan slowly calmed down and sighed: ”you're right, that bitch is just a chicken that can't lay eggs. It's not enough to be afraid. Now chao'er has gradually improved. In the future, he can also help me with this in my stomach. ”
Jiang Chao is now working under Xuanli to manage the business of shops in Beijing. It's a big job, and it's definitely a small job. In recent years, Jiang Chao worked hard, and he did a good job, which was appreciated by Xuanli. In the past three years, Jiang Quan, who had been disappointed with Jiang Chao, gradually changed his attitude towards his son.
If Xia Yan's biggest worry is Jiang Su Su. Jiang Su Su never answered the letter she sent to her, but she was told by a brief trustee that she was very good. Even I don't want to see Xia Yan. At the end of three years, Jiang Su Su returned to Beijing today. Xia Yan was very happy, but he didn't want to be so upset by Jiang Quan.
She slowly stroked her abdomen. After three months, the fetus was stable. The doctor came to see it and said it was likely to be a male fetus. If she is really a boy, it means that she can have the upper hand in the confrontation with Hongying. Xia Yan looked down at his stomach and said, ”my son, you must be safe.”
……
The Empress Dowager Yide returned to Beijing. In front of the palace, elite soldiers came forward, and the emperor led a hundred civil and military officials to greet her. A long line came from afar. The palace was magnificent in the sun, and the purple chariot was inlaid with gold wire, shining in the sun. The procession began leisurely, with civil servants on the left and military officers on the right. They were all long generals going down: ”welcome the Empress Dowager back to Beijing.”
Hua Nian stops in front of the palace gate. The maid in exquisite clothes comes forward and lifts the bead curtain on Hua Nian. Empress Yide is dressed in a golden court dress, and the enamel bottom is inlaid with Turquoise gold buttons. She was helped out, a light glance at the people, only one eye, it makes people feel irresistible pressure.
Behind the chariot was a soft sedan chair in the color of Begonia. The sedan chair was just as magnificent, and it sent out the fragrance of something or nothing. I don't know why, everyone unconsciously looked at the sedan chair curiously, as if expecting someone to come out.
The sedan chair also stopped, and the action of stopping the sedan chair was very gentle, as if it scared the people in the sedan chair. Then, two green maids came over, both tall and pretty. One looked calm, the other fierce. They stood on both sides of the soft sedan chair and reached out to help the people in the sedan chair.
A jade hand stretched out.
The hands looked white and clear, and there was nothing special about it. However, a bracelet with faint blue light between the wrists reflected the white hands very beautiful, soft as boneless, which made people feel numb for no reason.The maid on the left side opened the whole curtain, and the people inside bent down and walked down.
At the moment, there was a breeze, and people subconsciously narrowed their eyes slightly. When you open your eyes again, you will see a hundred Li guard of honor. Before a thousand elite soldiers, you will be dressed in red from a distance.
It's a wonderful thing that we don't have in the world.
She was dressed in a red flowing dark flower brocade Palace Dress, and a flower cloud satin skirt was worn by a hundred butterflies with Begonia color. A light and frivolous scarlet embroidered and engraved silk dress with auspicious grass, cloud wild goose and wide sleeve double silk satin is approved. Comb a hibiscus cloud bun, crow color hair in the back of the head, more and more skin than snow. However, that group of red as if the sky splashed, fell on the big Jin Dynasty of a cut Yanxia. The eyebrows are like spring water, the eyes are like peach blossoms, and the lips are ruddy like cherry. The eyebrows and eyes are actually the beautiful women painted for thousands of years. If you don't see the immortal spirit, you will fall into the charm of this land.
She came slowly from afar, and her flaming red train fluttered behind her. As she came closer, she found that the woman's makeup was exquisite and gorgeous, and her eyes were sprinkled with gold powder, which made her beautiful. That eye tail if have if have no of upward a Yang, the lip cape is smiling, the hands overlap in front of the body, dignified and charming, cool and charming.
The evil girl of the evil country. There's an idea in everyone's head at the same time.
Such a woman is worthy of the word ”evil woman of the country”.
The eunuch dragged his voice and said: ”welcome Princess Hong'an back to Beijing -”
Princess Hong'an, everyone was moved.
No one can forget that three years ago, the eldest daughter of the Chiang family saved empress Yide by blocking the sword. Empress Yide specially rewarded her and took her to the ancestral temple to accompany her. Not long ago, the emperor officially granted her the title of Princess Hong'an. Everyone knows that empress Yide doesn't treat Princess Hong'an as usual. Now I saw with my own eyes that Princess Hong'an was born so beautiful that she was the first beauty in the world.
Even the emperor could not help but squint his eyes.
There was no need to talk about Jiang Quan in the crowd. When he saw the woman's eyebrows, he knew it was Jiang Ruan. The body unexpectedly is can't help but some tremble. He always knew Jiang ruansheng's beauty and inherited Zhao Mei's looks, but he didn't know that his daughter would grow up like a young Phoenix, with her young feathers fading away and her whole body full of grace. This kind of beauty is enough to shake a man, but what she will bring to Chiang's house is not necessarily glory.
Xuanli, the eighth prince, stares at the gorgeous girl from afar. If he only controlled and used Jiang Ruan three years ago, now he can see that there is a kind of potential besides surprise. There are so many beautiful women in this world, but there are not many smart women. Smart women and beautiful women are unique in this world. Xuanli's heart moved slightly. This woman is enough to match and stand beside him. In the future, he will be king, and she will be queen!
Xuanhua, the fifth prince, is also in front of his eyes. The prince doesn't have to say anything. There is a flash of surprise in his eyes. Even xuanlang, the fourth prince, can't help showing a trace of admiration at the moment.
Gu Xiuwen, the commander-in-chief, frowned. Long ago, he learned from Mrs. Gu that Gu Yi loved the eldest daughter of the Chiang family. At first, he thought that the Chiang family was high in the end. The important thing was that Jiang Ruan was not valued by Jiang Quan. Later, Jiang Xin rose step by step, Zhao Guang also admitted his granddaughter, and Jiang Ruan himself was granted the title of Princess Hong'an. He thought it was a good match. Today, seeing the girl's outstanding appearance, he was worried. I'm afraid this kind of beauty will bring disaster.
Princess Heyi nestles next to Shufei. She feels a little bit hostile when she sees the girl. She thinks that in the capital of Dajin Dynasty, her appearance is already flourishing. Who knows, when the girl in red appears, she looks like moonlight and fireflies. Her appearance is like a joke. When I heard the name of Princess Hong'an again, I clenched her fists and flashed a trace of resentment on her face.
Three years ago, Xiao Shao's words were always a thorn to Princess Heyi. She wanted to find a way to hurt Jiang Ruan, at least to make her life worse than death. Unexpectedly, with the Empress Dowager's Yizhi, Jiang Ruan left and went to the royal temple, but she escaped. Ten days ago, when she heard that Jiang Ruan was going to return to Beijing, she was shocked. She thought about all the ways to harm others. But today, when she saw Jiang Ruan's appearance, she felt as if she was going to turn the river into the sea.
Foxy! Think to come, she is to use the face of this enchantress, bewitch the person like Xiao Shao!
Jiang Ruan moved forward with a smile. His eyes had already swept around in front of him, and everyone had a panoramic view. Chen Guifei looked at her with a smile, as if she had not been affected by her expression. But Jiang Ruan knew what that smile meant: I've been waiting for you for a long time.
She has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
When her eyes fell on master huijue, who was not far away from the emperor, she gave another smile. Huijue is still as kind as he remembers, but he is more peaceful and stable than he was three years ago. At first glance, he looks like a Buddha worshipped in a temple.
When Jiang Ruan left three years ago, he asked Jiang Xinzhi to bring master huijue a piece of paper, which detailed the major events that might happen in Beijing in the past three years. Huijue is clever and knows how to wait for the opportunity. With this piece of paper, it's like adding wings to a tiger. According to the guidelines on the paper, huijue accidentally reveals the secrets of heaven, and finally gets the attention of the ninth five in the palace.
It took huijue three years to climb to the position of national teacher. This piece of chess has finally come to the position that it should go.Her eyes once again swept over another familiar figure beside the emperor. The young man stood upright and had a kind of aloofness. Jiang Ruan noticed that his clothes had become authentic court clothes. Step by step, she walked forward with a deeper smile. Finally, Liu Min became the imperial master of the Dynasty and worshipped Yipin.
Everything is very good, even if not in Beijing for three years, the chess game is still walking slowly. She went to the emperor and bowed down: ”my son, please see my father.”
