green bamboo dream

This summer seems to be hotter than usual this year.

The palace where the Empress Dowager lives naturally does not have the problem of overheating. The ice basin is full of ice cubes, and there are a few brightly colored fruits in the crystal clear ice and snow, which makes the hall not only pleasantly cool, but also Fresh and fruity aroma.

In such a comfortable environment, the emperor, who was dressed in bright yellow thin silk uniforms, still did not have any relaxed expression on his face. His long and narrow eyes were looking indifferently at the teacup in his hand, which was covered with flowers, mountains and rivers and surrounded by lotus patterns, without saying a word. hair.

"Your Majesty, please taste the dark fragrance soup that has just been brewed." The queen mother stroked the delicate armor on her hand with some anxiety, and forced a smile.

Reaching out to lift the lid of the cup, a faint fragrance of plum blossoms came to the nostrils. Looking down, several plum blossom buds bloomed lightly in the yellowish clear soup, light and graceful, as if they were still blooming on the branches.

"I still remember that the emperor liked this sweet and clear taste the most when he was young. Aijia asked the maids to pick half-bloomed plum buds all over the garden in winter. They were not afraid of being ridiculed and wasteful. When they came back, they fried them with salt and sealed them in porcelain jars. Keep it for the emperor to drink next summer..." The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed a trace of nostalgia, and she said with a smile, "I dare not let the late emperor know, after all, this tea is mostly a woman's favorite drink... The late emperor will definitely be angry if he finds out! "

As if remembering the time when we lived together in the harem, the emperor's expression gradually eased, his face relaxed a little, he pondered for a moment, and with a little hope, he asked aloud: "The mother... Did you know about the medicine powder that was used to avoid children?"

The empress dowager's expression was fixed, and she became furious for a moment, "But the empress?" She said in a stern tone, "Usually, she is still a good person, but unexpectedly she has a kind face and a bitter heart, which can be regarded as a mistake for Aijia."

The faint light in the eyes shattered, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said indifferently: "It's not the queen, the queen's lips have been tampered with, if she did it, there's no reason to hurt myself."

The queen mother just laughed, "The emperor still doesn't understand that women's struggles in the harem are not as reasonable as the court's state affairs. In order to compete for favor, what can't be done? Besides, the queen already has a eldest prince, but she was hindered by the medicine powder. She can still wait for her to take care of her... What's more, if the princes are all about the same age, the queen will not feel at ease."

Her tone was calm, with angry flames in her eyes, like a grandmother who was heartbroken for her grandchildren who disappeared out of thin air, and her eyes were red at the end.

The emperor has been listening quietly, and only after the queen mother finished speaking, did he spit out two words: "Really?"

The queen mother couldn't help shivering, like... so much alike, when did her son grow up to the point where he was so similar to the late emperor!

Now he is an emperor who ruled the world first, and then her son.

In his heart, the court and political affairs will become more and more important.

I can't tell what kind of feeling is in my heart, joy, trembling, or...fear.

"I still have a lot of memorials to deal with, so I won't wait any longer." The emperor put down an unused cup of tea in his hand, bowed slightly and said, "There is still this dark fragrance soup... I have long since stopped drinking it."

The Empress Dowager stared blankly at the figure of the emperor striding away, a fear that she had never felt before rose from the bottom of her heart... Did she miss the last chance?

As the stars moved, it entered the midsummer August of the third year of Yuanxi. One day, it was reported that an earthquake had occurred on Mount Tai in Dongyue.

The Empress Dowager was concerned with the fate of the country, and she took the initiative to ask for blessings for the country. Since then, she has lived in seclusion without asking about palace affairs.

Cheng Guogong's mansion.

In the ambiguous dark night, in the depths of the tent, the clear and sweet fragrance of pear juice is lingering, mixed with a hint of ambiguous warm fragrance lingering in it, seductive and intoxicating, lingering and fragrant, sinking and sawing.

The clothes were scattered outside the bed, and the edges of the dyed flowers and grass patterns on the precious fabrics formed a blur. The flowers seemed to be trapped in the early morning mist. The shirt strongly covered most of it.

Through the red curtains, two figures loomed, the bed of sweat was slightly transparent, gradually stained with research, the willows were moistened with flowers, the half-twined rhinoceros pillow was entangled with bead quilts.

When the madness reached its apex, a bare jade foot like fresh snow stretched out tremblingly, warm and clean, with a slight red color, soft and flawless like pink pastry, making people want to bite a mouthful.The cute and exquisite little toes curled up into a ball as if they couldn't bear it, stretched for a while, and then shrank back a little.

As the clouds subsided and the rain rested, Yuzhu lazily nestled on Cheng Xunxun's sweat-drenched chest, her tired face dizzy, and she was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger.

"Tired?" The man had just had a hearty love affair, and his voice was still low and hoarse, with a strange sex appeal.

Yu Zhu ignored him and just rested with her eyes closed.

"Don't sleep late in the future, follow me to boxing."

"No," Yu Zhu refused succinctly.

"Let me teach you, choose a simple set, and regular exercise is good for your body." Cheng Xunxun whispered ambiguously between Yuzhu's neck, "Your body is still weak."

Yu Zhu gritted her teeth and said in her heart: You just wait, when my old lady is like a wolf like a tiger, hungry and thirsty like a wolf, see who dislikes who is weak!

……

The doors and windows of the hall have been removed, and there is a gentle breeze. There is a green gauze cabinet at the air outlet, and a rattan summer bed is placed in it, covered with bamboo mats. There is also an ivory carved Sanyang Kaitai picture on the screen, which protects the head from the wind.

The summer night has lost the heat and heat of the day, and it is cool in the middle of the night, and the sky is full of stars.In the quiet courtyard, the sound of insects can be faintly heard from the bamboo forest and bushes.The breeze carried the fragrance of plants and trees, and blew through the blue silk gauze stuck on the center of the green gauze cabinet, bringing a cool feeling to the room.

The white lanterns under the eaves swayed gently with the wind, making a slight creaking sound.The old man slowly opened his eyes from his sleep, couldn't help but put on his clothes, got up, and walked out.

Walking for the purpose of walking, I stopped in front of a courtyard and looked up - it was Siqian Hall.

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't go in, and he didn't dislike the dirt on the ground, so he sat on the stone steps in front of the door with a flick of his robe.

"Are you... how are you doing now? Fierce woman... be careful when you reincarnate in your next life, restrain your stubborn temper, who else in the world can tolerate you except me?" As if holding back the words for a long time, the old man just sat down Immediately, she couldn't wait to start talking: "When you first married me, you were a limp little daughter-in-law. I don't blame you for being so tough at home, but why can't you change after cleaning up those old aunts? "

"You know I don't like it... Hey, what are you talking about." The old man turned sideways and lightly closed the wooden door behind him, and said with a smile, "I know you miss my son, so I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came here to talk to you."

"Boss has a crush on a girl. I don't agree. What kind of good girl can be born in such a bitter cold place like Mobei? Needless to say, her family background is just her appearance. What's so good about being exposed to the wind and the sun?" The old man smashed his mouth, resentful, and sighed again: "It's just that the boss is as stubborn as a donkey, and he won't listen to my words when his wings are stiff. I guess I can't stop him, so let him go... But listen It is said that the girl was smart and filial since she was a child, and she was famous in the local area for being precocious and smart. There were countless people asking for marriage...you can still watch it. If you are not satisfied, there is nothing you can do. Who told you to go first, you two brats No one is in charge.”

After complaining for a while, the old man coughed twice, and continued: "The old 2 had a good life, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, he is growing well, he is smart and fair, and he speaks crisply, It hurts my heart. Last time I hugged him, a few beards were ripped off without paying attention...Sight-sighted and quick-handed, as expected of my old Cheng family! If you see him, you will definitely hold him and you won’t want to let go. "

"But the second one is also a thorny head. If he is still in the army, I will whip him. When he is out of filial piety, ask him to take a concubine, raise a maid, and give me more grandchildren. He just won't agree. ...Tell me, could it be that I was wrong? A roommate in the room almost became a living nun, and the second daughter-in-law was very wealthy. After giving birth to brother Xi, my in-law, Mrs. Lin, came to me again and again Drinking, inside and outside the words are her baby girl who is young and spoiled at home, so I need to take care of it... In a few days, Mr. Cui and his wife will rush to the door, for fear that I don't know that the second daughter-in-law is still there. A grandfather is supporting me!"

"It's all like this, why don't you let her live? A few people were carried in the room, and they were all dismissed after giving birth. If you really don't feel at ease, you can keep the child and go to the mother. The second daughter-in-law mentions." Putting his hands in his sleeves, the old man sighed deeply: "If you were here, you would definitely be able to make your son and daughter-in-law obedient."

"Who else, oh, and the useless thing of the eldest grandson, who was addicted to drugs two years ago, this evil beast! He was caught by a random trick, and he will not rely on the country in the future. The government, I'm afraid that even the bones will be chewed into scum by others!"

"Hmph, one by one ganged up and tried to lie to me. Am I that easy to deceive... But, after all these years, your people are still very loyal." The old man laughed dryly. , I really couldn't find out that my grandson, who was recuperating behind closed doors after being injured in a fight outside, was actually addicted to drugs.

"Don't worry, it's all healed, but it's stronger than before. I just made him an errand to fool him. There is a Qingshui yamen, full of sour and rotten old Confucian scholars... Only if you put it there, you don't worry about him. Lied to, haha."

"As for me, I'm pretty good, but I'm old, my mind is not very flexible, and sometimes I do some stupid things... It's better to take care of things less in the future, and I have nothing to do with my little grandson, oh, oh, there are two more Great-granddaughter..."

……

The night was getting late to the extreme, the insects gradually stopped, the sky in the distance had already turned pale, and the sun was about to come out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
