The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 239 The Beginning of the New Year (Part [-])

The dawn light cast from the sky, and the whole Phoenix Palace was lit up in an instant. The bright yellow light made the whole Phoenix Palace extraordinarily bright, and the sky was dimmed at the window, and he yawned: "Your Majesty, when I celebrate the New Year, you Will you give me a red envelope?"

"Red envelope?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her expectant look, he raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I give it to you?"

"No, when did you give it to me? I'm talking about New Year's money, New Year's Eve!" She cupped her face, pouted and looked at him, and put her accent on the word "New Year's Eve".

"How old are you, how can you still pay the New Year's money?" Long Xuanshen couldn't laugh or cry.

"The last time you were in Granny Huazi's small yard, you owed me 300 taels. You haven't paid me back yet. You have to pay me back with the New Year's money." She stretched out her hand to the emperor, who patted her little hand, I couldn't help laughing: "The gift from me is much more than the 300 taels. Just talking about the Ronghe mansion, it is the mansion that my aunt stayed in before, and the repairs in the mansion cost no less than several million taels of silver. Now you Do you want to come with me to discuss the 300 taels?"

"It's two different things! Besides, the mansion is so big and it's empty everywhere, so I don't like it. You might as well give me the cash." She was actually thinking, running... on the way.

"You think beautifully. You must take what I gave you last time. Don't throw it away, let alone give it to others. Understand?" He pinched the little girl's face, pink and tender , at the age of 17, when my daughter's family is just in time for youth, those past events a year ago, those that should be forgotten, let me forget them.

"Oh, then I have to pay the storage fee." Her eyes were stunned by the golden light, so she could only squint her eyes, looking at the Phoenix Palace where the mist and golden light scattered, it was like being in a fairyland, she thought, first The reason why the emperor gave such a good Phoenix Palace to the empress was because he loved her very much.

Outside the Phoenix Palace, someone was playing a zither and singing a song, the sound seemed to come from a very far away place, it was a song of Yue people.

"...I'm so annoyed... I learned that the prince..." Such a clear song, in the palace full of festivities in the New Year, seemed a bit desolate.

Listening to the sad voice, Tian Lanshan turned her head and asked, "Your Majesty, is this your concubine singing to you?"

"There are only two concubines in my harem, and now you have seen through one, and there is only one who is tone-deaf. How could she sing this song?" He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.At that time, he was still studying in the academy of the Imperial College, and with him, there were some noble children, one of whom liked to compose and sing the ancient poems of the previous dynasty, which was easy to remember and pleasant to listen to.

For example, the song "Bodhisattva Man" is also like this, with a voice full of thoughts and a sense of sadness that has nowhere to vent.

"I thought that the three thousand beauties in the harem were the truth, but why did they become fake when they came to you?" The only concubine was also able to sing perfectly.well.

"What do I want the people in the harem to do? What I want is someone to accompany me in the night rain in Bashan Mountain, and to be a pawn." He stared at the palace that was gradually peeling off from the darkness, and the golden light gradually faded away. All darkness is expelled, but we come and go in the darkness all night, and when dawn comes, our eyes feel uncomfortable.

"You can do it now too... Aren't you going to marry Tang Yanran as the queen?" Thinking about being very happy to like Tang Yanran's Dragon Scrophulariaceae?
He just smiled and stroked her hair, and there was a deepness in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

"In the future, you will understand that there are things you can't get when you are on the throne. Or, some things you want to get are just extravagant hopes." He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at his country and his world, But who would find the loneliness and desolation in the emperor's heart while being in awe.

"Your majesty, what do you want? You are the emperor, what can't you get?" Tian Lanshan looked at him sideways, because of money, he was rich all over the world, and because of his name, he was the emperor. , who dares to defy him, isn't it all he can do whatever he wants?The whole palace is serving him.

"Your Royal Highness, how are you doing?" He took the teacup offered by Dequan, sat by the window, sipping tea in an orderly manner and basking in the sun. Today is probably the last time to be comfortable.

"Not good, not good at all." She shook her head, she didn't like the status of a princess very much, if a person got used to being pampered, what would she do in the future.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not free. If I wasn't the princess, I might still be with Mr. Xiang." She sighed a long time, sat on a chair, ate snacks and drank tea.

The emperor couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you with Yan Ke? Today's Yan Ke can't even afford the green onion fried buns in Yipin Pavilion, so it doesn't matter?"

"If he is willing to be with me, then I... I can eat it once a year, or once every six months." She stopped eating scallion fried buns every day, but Mr. Xiang would not come back either.

"You, infatuation may not be a good thing sometimes, you have to learn to protect yourself." He put the teacup down, basked in the sun, and closed his eyes slightly.

Tian Lanshan stood up and said to the emperor: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep, I'll stop by to see who is singing this song, although it sounds sad, but it still sounds good."

"Well, remember to enter the palace in the afternoon, I have something important to tell you." He closed his eyes, and the little girl who was as beautiful as lotus medicine many years ago flashed in front of him.Now, everyone has grown up, and no one can go back to that carefree day.

Tian Lanshan hurried downstairs, looking for the voice.

Tian Lanshan was looking for that person in a small forest full of plum blossoms. She was sitting on the grass ball under the plum tree, with a Jiaoweiqin on her lap, and she was playing it lightly with her slender hands. Then, the gentle voice sang Bodhisattva Man softly.

"...it's late to make up and wash up, look at the front and back mirrors of the flowers, the faces of the flowers complement each other..." Her back is very thin, but the sky is very familiar.

She stood quietly by the side, and when she finished playing and singing, she said suspiciously: "Moth Moth? You won't be here all night, right?"

Jade Moon Moth seemed to be taken aback. Seeing her, she breathed a sigh of relief, handed the piano to the maid behind her, and said softly, "No, I only came in the morning. How about it? You want to have a taste with me." Do you want to eat your favorite scallion fried buns? I have already booked a room."

"So good? Did you pick up the money?" Tian Lanshan smiled like a flower, thinking of the scallion fried buns, steamed buns, crystal buns, and chicken sauce buns in Yipin Pavilion, ah, her mouth is almost drooling.

"What? Can't I invite you if I don't pick up the money? Let's go, I just sent someone to the room I rented to thank you for saving me in Heifengzhai last time." Her hands were extraordinarily cold, as cold as the sky. After passing Feng Palace, looking up at the highest attic of Feng Palace, she followed the sky and left the palace with lowered eyes.

Many people outside the palace were wearing new clothes, and they were hanging a small lantern in their hands. Those who posted couplets, those who cleaned the house, walked past every house and were very busy.

Tian Lanshan and the jade moon moth were walking, but when they arrived at Yipin Pavilion, they were told that the room had already been taken!After the man's murmurs, Tian Lanshan knew that it was occupied by Mrs. Tang Guogong and the wives and daughters of several big families.

Tian Lanshan was in a bad mood, she was out of breath for a while, and wanted to reason, Yu Yuemo took her hand and shook her head: "Forget it, Lan Shan, let's pack it up and take it to Xuehai Pavilion. Xuehai Pavilion has a poetry meeting today, It’s a good time to go and have a look.”

"My elder brother wants to marry Tang Yanran, I really don't understand!" She frowned, feeling very upset.

The jade moon moth said with a smile: "Lanshan, the emperor has his own ideas, let's go first and let Xintao and Lvyi wait."

"Oh." Tian Lanshan was about to leave with Yu Yuemo, and Tang Yanran was about to come out to get some air, but she saw the two, her face sank slightly, and she said to Tian Lanshan, "Why is Your Highness here? "

"This house was settled by the moon moth, and I want to ask why you are here." Tian Lanshan looked at a group of beautiful women and a group of vases inside the door, and really couldn't figure it out. gorgeous.

"My mother and the wives of several grown-up families are dining here. How can you say that we have taken up your room when you come late? But, if you don't mind, why don't you come together?" Tang Yanran said with a smile Yan Ran pushed the door open, Tian Lanshan was not polite, and strode in with Yu Yue Mo. Most of the women recognized her, and one of them even laughed at her when she was eating buns last time , Now seeing her, I hate and fear at the same time, dare not speak out.

A group of women praised Tian Lanshan to the sky. That was a good word, and they couldn't see the contempt and disdain they used to have. Tian Lanshan didn't take them seriously until Mrs. Tang Guogong asked: "I heard that Your Highness Went to Nanyang County, coincidentally, Xiangye is also there, I wonder if His Highness will meet Xiangye?"

Tian Lanshan paused while eating the buns, her expression darkened: "Nanyang County is so big, and I've only been here for more than a month, how could I bump into it."

"That's right, Mr. Xiang and Miss Weaving Mirror are living there now... In the New Moon Inn, tsk, for someone as talented as Mr. Xiang, it's not a problem to come to this spring test." Mrs. Tang Guogong Seeing her ugly face, he kept poking her sore spots.

Tian Lanshan clenched her fists tightly, and suddenly felt that fried buns with green onions were not tasty, and she didn't like them anymore.

"Yes, when Xiangye first came to Jinling, the little girl weaving mirror was taking care of him. At that time, Xiangye said he would marry that little girl weaving mirror. Later, for some reason, that little girl The girl is missing, I never thought, so Master Xiang went to Nanyang County to find someone." The woman sitting next to Mrs. Tang Guogong hurriedly agreed.

Yuyueli saw that her complexion was getting worse and worse, so she whispered: "Lanshan..."

"What else? Why don't you tell them all together? I just happen to be hungry and listen to stories while eating. It's also a kind of enjoyment." Tian Lanshan ate the chicken soup buns, and her mouth was full of aroma.
