Chapter 1007 (1/2)
The Empress Dowager took a look at Nangong Yue.
In the palace for so many years, she can see that Nangong Yue and this cousin do not seem to have a good relationship. It seems that after a long period of time, Yuegong and his wife should not get along with each other.
At this time, Cui Yanyan stood up and went to Bai muxiao. She took her hand affectionately and said with a smile, ”sister Xiao'er, I look forward to seeing you through my eyes. You are finally here!”
Bai muxiao took back his hand, respectfully blessed his body, and said coldly, ”thank you for the memory of the third prince.”
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager frowned a little. The Bai family was a bit unruly and even disrespectful. Who does she think she is and what is her identity? How dare you throw your face to the third imperial concubine? This is still in front of the Empress Dowager. After she really goes through the door, is it not lawless to close the door?
When Nangong Yue was not enthusiastic about Bai muxiao, the Empress Dowager suddenly realized that Bai had no rules.
The Empress Dowager's eye color slightly a sink, that kind of forcing person's momentum to send out invisibly.
Cui Yanyan, on the other hand, was indifferent to Bai muxiao's indifference, even secretly pleased in her heart. She said with a smile: ”empress dowager, Xiao'er's sister is pure and filial, and her granddaughter-in-law admires her. Originally, sun's daughter-in-law planned to invite Xiao'er's younger sister to come to the palace with her, but Xiao'er's younger sister had to go to the temple to pray for blessings in order to give her dead father a life sacrifice, which delayed a few days. ”
Bai muxiao realized the Empress Dowager's displeasure, and suddenly hit an exciting spirit, as if a bucket of cold water suddenly fell on her body, making her instantly awake. She said to herself, didn't she make up her mind?
As long as the goal is achieved, no matter what!
As long as you achieve the goal, even if you let her kowtow!
One day, she will be able to stand upright again and look down upon all living beings!
She closed her eyes and suddenly laughed. It was like the spring breeze in March. It was warm and gentle. She said, ”thank you very much. It has been more than three years since my father passed away. It happens that Xiao'er prays for his father's birthday. Xiao'er is really ashamed of the praise of the third imperial concubine. ” Since ancient times, monarchs have advocated filial piety and filial conduct to stabilize their rule. What's more, the Empress Dowager is the natural mother of the emperor. Naturally, she would like the world to pay more attention to filial piety.
Bai muxiao laughs sarcastically in the heart, and the third prince's concubine is afraid to be self defeating this time.
She quickly glanced at the Empress Dowager on Luohan's bed. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's expression softened a lot. She sighed: ”as the old saying goes, if the father is present, you should observe his ambition; if you don't, you should observe his deeds; if you haven't changed your father's way for three years, it can be called filial piety. Miss Bai, if you have such filial piety, your father must be very pleased to know that under the spring. ” The Empress Dowager's mind: Although this civilian girl does not understand the rules, she should not be too extreme in her understanding of filial piety. After passing through the door, let mammy slowly teach the rules.
Hearing that the Empress Dowager's tone is loose, Han lingfu's heart is happy, and looks at Bai muxiao with a smile. He says: he knew that the Empress Dowager will like Xiao'er.
Cui Yanyan's face was stiff. Originally, the mask of Xianshu almost fell off, but she was still stable. She had a perfect smile on her face, and said, ”the Empress Dowager is right. Sun's daughter-in-law should learn more from Xiao'er's younger sister. ”
”Xiao'er is scared.”
looked at this wife and his wife as if they were sisters. The Queen Mother nodded in mind: three Cui Yanyan, the princess, was as handsome as a simultaneous interpreting woman.
The Empress Dowager and Han Ling Fu were satisfied with their grandparents and grandchildren, but Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan were amused and thought they had seen a big play.
After sitting for a while, Han lingfu suggested with a smile, ”empress dowager, the sun is much smaller outside now. How about a walk in qianfang garden with your grandson?”
Han Ling Fu is filial, and the Empress Dowager smiles.
A group of people and so on accompanied the Empress Dowager out of the long autumn palace, to the southwest of the palace qianfang garden to go.
The sun is half set. At this time, the weather is much cooler. It is suitable for walking. However, the weather in August is just like a spoiled child who turns over his face.
A group of talents stepped into qianfang garden. The blue sky, which was just a thousand miles clear sky, has become gloomy and full of clouds.
”Rumble -”
there was a dull thunder in the distance. Seeing that it was going to rain heavily, the big maid next to the Empress Dowager said nervously, ”empress dowager, there is a pavilion in front of you. Why don't you go there to hide from the rain?” The Empress Dowager is now recovering from her illness. If she was caught in the rain and caught cold, she could not afford to be a maid.
A group of people quickened their pace, protecting the Empress Dowager to enter the pavilion. Almost the next moment, huge raindrops fell from the outside.
In the blink of an eye, most of the ground outside was wet.
In the pavilion, all the girls are slightly embarrassed. Some girls have splashed some water on their bodies, and their hair is slightly disordered.
Among them, Han lingfu, the third prince's son, was the most ugly one. Just now he proposed to hang out, but he met with a rainstorm. He looked up at the rain curtain outside. He didn't know when the rain would stop.One side of Bai muxiao has been paying attention to his every move. When he thinks about it, he suddenly recites: ”I'm the rain. I stop the rain. Rain is not for me, encounter and meet. Sit in a warm place when cold, and walk in a cool place when hot. All beings are no different from Buddha, and Buddha is all living beings. ”
At the beginning of her recitation, she immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the pavilion. Even the Empress Dowager was thoughtful. The Empress Dowager is very old. She thinks that the most important thing for women is to be virtuous and understand the rules. It is not important to have talents or not. But at the moment, it is hard to avoid being attracted by Bai muxiao's extremely Buddhist words and thinking deeply
This summer's rainstorm came and went quickly, but it was just a few moments when Bai muxiao recited. The rain gradually became smaller and stopped soon. The sky after the rain became more pure.
And Han Ling Fu's heart is also a suddenly bright, heart repeatedly recited those two sentences: ”I line day is rain, I stop rain still live.”
The Empress Dowager suddenly asked, ”do you also read Buddhist scriptures?”
Bai muxiao blessing the body, respectfully replied: ”back to the empress dowager, my father died early, Xiao'er will recite sutras for her every day.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Bai muxiao again. It was not easy for a girl of this age to calm down and recite Buddhist scriptures. I hope she can remember the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures and keep her duty as a concubine honestly.
”It's good to read Buddhist scriptures, and you should read more in the future.” The Empress Dowager said with a slight warning.
Bai muxiao knew that the Empress Dowager's words were full of deep meaning, and he was busy.
The rainstorm just now made the Empress Dowager not in the mood to take a walk again, and ordered her to drive back to the palace.
After several younger generations sent the Empress Dowager back, they left one after another and parted ways.
Yuan Yuyi looked at the back of Han lingfu and tried to stop talking and forbearance. She followed Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan to jingyuezhai, and then she couldn't help saying, ”Yue Er, your cousin seems to have changed...”
Fu Yunyan nodded frequently at the side, ”cousin Yi is right. Although I can't tell you why, ah Yue, your cousin is really different... ” What kind of feeling is it? Fu Yunyan's small faces were all wrinkled together.
”I see!” Yuan Yuyi thought of something, slightly excited and said, ”Yue Er, your cousin used to be a little aloof when he was just looking at people,” although he did not know what the other party was proud of, ”but now, with a feeling of incomprehension.” The original Bai muxiao and the ordinary girl always seem to have a kind of incompatible feeling, but just a moment ago, she suddenly became indifferent to the public It seems that he is wearing a mask.
”Maybe.” Nangong Yue hears the speech and smiles. Naturally, she also sees Bai muxiao's changes in her eyes. She is secretly alert. She doesn't know what happened in these days. She actually lets Bai muxiao change here?
She was calm and alert, but she said with a smile on her face: ”don't talk about my cousin. After all, it's the household affairs of the third prince.”
Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan looked at each other and thought it was the same. Anyway, the relationship between Nangong Yue and her cousin is not good. They don't have to worry about other people's business.
Yuan Yuyi finally thought of the business, ”Yue Er, in a few days, it will be the Mid Autumn Festival. After the Mid Autumn Festival, it will be August 20...” She winked at Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan with a smile.
When it comes to August 20, Nangong Yue is smiling, but Fu Yunyan sighs: ”it's a pity ah Xin didn't come!” The five princes were in charge of the imperial palace. Nangong Xin, as his companion, naturally stayed with the royal capital, so he did not come to the palace with him.
August 20 is a special festival for young men and women in Dayu.
This festival originated from the previous dynasty. It is said that 300 years ago, a young general met a Geisha named Mulian on the Qinhuai River. They fell in love at first sight. The general wanted to take Mulian as his wife, but his family objected. Mu Lian finally redeemed herself and left in a dark mood. No news came from then on.
The young general was deeply rooted in his love. He never married, and even gave up his bright future. He was expelled from his family and lived in seclusion in the frontier.
He stayed in the frontier for nearly ten years. Later, Beidi came and attacked several cities in a row. The young general resolutely stepped forward and led the people of a city to defend the wall city. At a time when he was helpless and in danger, Mulian skillfully broke through the enemy's rear and solved the danger of Hengcheng. The two became relatives under the witness of the whole city people.
After marriage, the two fought hard to defend the northern Xinjiang until the imperial reinforcements arrived.
Because of their great achievements in the first World War of Beidi, the imperial court awarded the young general Anbei Marquis, while Mulian was promoted by a singer to become a superior Hou's wife.
The emperor summoned the couple of an Beihou into the capital of the king, but they chose to continue to live in Northern Xinjiang, leading a simple and poor life. They led the poor local people to open wasteland, irrigate and drain water, and Mulian opened an academy to educate their children.
The Academy of the couple not only taught a generation of great Confucians and courtiers, but also many outstanding talents.
Fifty years later, the couple were full of peaches and plums, and the Marquis Anbei became a famous official because of his contributions to northern Xinjiang.
Mrs. Mulian's life has been full of ups and downs and is full of legends. After her death, the people still miss her very much. Therefore, the wedding day of Anbei Hou and his wife on August 20 is regarded as the Mulian day, a day when lovers finally get married.Young lovers often put the lotus lamp on this day to wish and pray, hoping to live forever and grow old together.
Looking at Fu Yunyan shaking his head and sighing, Yuan Yuyi took her arm with a smile and said, ”liuniang, is it not enough to have me with you?”
”Not enough!” Fu Yunyan forced his head, ”I want to eat the lotus cake you made!”
One of the traditions of the Mulian Festival is that a woman makes a lotus cake and gives it to her husband. After eating a lotus cake, they can be round and round.
”Good idea!” Yuan Yuyi's eyes brightened, ”Yue Er, it's better for us to go to sister Xi to make lotus cake on the day of Mu Lian Festival. And the lotus lamp has to be made... ”
”Let me make a lotus lamp.” Fu Yunyan excitedly volunteered, ”I'm not good at cooking. I'll pack the lotus lamp on me.”
”At that time, we'll make an appointment with sister Xi, cousin Jun and cousin Xia, and they'll go to set off the lotus lantern.”
The more they said, the more excited Fu Yunyan said, ”ah Yue, Yi Yue sister, why don't you two go to my place together, and I'll ask people to call sister Xi and her over. We'll sit down and have a good discussion.”
Nangong Yue refused with a smile and said, ”it's better to go tomorrow.”
”Ah Yue, are you busy today?” Just after asking, Fu Yunyan immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said with a joke, ”I know! You must want to go back to accompany brother Yi. ”
Was said in the mind, Nangong Yue's face slightly some hot, but still thick skinned said: ”is how?”
Fu Yunyan took yuan Yuyi's arm and joked, ”ah Yue, if you have brother Yi, don't want us. Fortunately, I have cousin Yi with you. ”
Nangong Yue glared at her intentionally and said, ”wait till you become a relative Hum
When it comes to ”marriage”, Yuan Yuyi's cheek suddenly turns red. Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan look at each other, and the latter says happily, ”sister Yi, is your marriage going to be decided?”
In front of the two are not outsiders, although the original jade Yi blushed, but still generous said: ”mother said let me see another day, if I want to, it will be decided.”
”Come on, who is it?”
“…… The third chapter of the Duke of Jian's residence. ” Yuan Yuyi was always a little insecure and said quietly, ”the second elder brother said that he would go to inquire for me. Let me drag my mother and see you in a few days.”
In this world, women are hard, and how their husband's family is related to most of their lives. Not everyone has the courage to leave.
Although Yuncheng Princess and her son-in-law will certainly not harm yuan Yuyi, sometimes, as elders, the consideration and attention may not be comprehensive.
”I'll ask Yi to inquire.” Nangong Yue said. Xiao Yi is the first bully among those dandies in Wangdu. He will surely gain something.
The original jade Yi shy way thanks, three girls talk and smile to walk to the fork in the road, this just left each.
Thinking of Xiao Yi waiting for himself in the quiet moon room, Nangong Yue's pace is much lighter.
The days in the Imperial Palace are much more leisurely than those in Wangdu. It's a pity that Xiao Yi has a job to do. Even if he doesn't do his job again, he still has to pretend to go back to Wucheng military and horse department every two days. He took pity on the assistant commander Feng Shuxuan and took up all the things that Xiao Yi pushed to him. However, he himself is happy, loyal to say that for the sake of big brother, he will do his best.
Xiao Yi is not in the night, nangongyue's heart is some empty, unconsciously, she has been so dependent on him.
As the Empress Dowager recovered, nangongyue finally did not have to run to the Changqiu palace from time to time. Xiao Yi would stick to her all day long as she was in the palace. The scenery of YINGLAN palace was excellent, and the two people were playing around like nobody else. They were very comfortable.
