Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 229 Ground Pupa Cicada (1)
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the sun is heavy in the sky, and the Dragon Boat Festival arrives. Iris and mugwort leaves are planted to drive away ghosts, smoked atractylodes atractylodes, Angelica dahurica and drank realgar wine to avoid epidemics.

It coincides with the new dynasty and the whole country is congratulating. Because of the vision of the day before yesterday, the snow is falling in Chang'an, and the hot summer is coming. There was still war, so the emperor gave the world Dajiu, which was changed from five days to three days. Chariots and dry boats, looking for collisions and walking ropes, arriving at balls and corners, horses and cockfights, hundreds of operas competing, characters filling their throats, etc., together with the land where the mountains and rivers were broken and recovered, it is a scene of peace and joy.

In Chang'an Grand Hall in Kyoto, the Taizu personally summoned the original family members, the old emperor's relatives, the family members of the harem, and the important officials of the court to gather in the Linde Hall, downstairs of Linyue, and it was very lively for a while.

After the day of Dajiu, on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the mantis was born, the cockroaches began to sing, and the tongue was silent. It was originally appointed to be promoted to the king of Ningkang County.Taizu Nianjin noble concubine Hua's family has served for many years, Shu Hui Duanmin, respectful and cautious, became the imperial concubine, the same as the vice queen, assisted in the power of the six palaces, and promoted her son—Yuan Feiliu, who was only seven years old For the king of Hanzhong.

Because the elder sister of Emperor Jin, Princess Zhenjing of the Northern Jin Dynasty, she made great contributions to calming the chaos during the Wuyuexue Incident, she granted the freedom to enter and exit the palace, and increased the number of households by [-]. .There was a sensation in the court and the public, and there was a sensation, whispering that the wings under the skirts of the Hua sisters must be the new favorites of the court, which is beyond words.Originally, he turned to the king of the Eastern Xian, and gradually turned to the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty.There are also flattery clinging to the king of Ningkang County, and the contacts of Yongding County Duke are endless.

On the twelfth day of the fifth month of the first year of Yuanchang, it was auspicious, and I brought all the family members of the palace to confer a non-popular canonization ceremony for the son of the imperial concubine Jin.The canonization ceremony was in hot weather, the master of ceremonies, court officials, and other palace officials were sweating profusely, and many female relatives were dripping with sweat, soaking through their expensive ice-crested gauze costumes, and finally couldn't stand the heat and passed out.Among the children, Song Chongyang was the first to cry loudly. After holding on for another 5 minutes, he also passed out from heatstroke.Princess Annian retreated first under the pretext of taking care of Chongyang.

Yuan Feiliu was wearing a thick silk silk four-clawed golden dragon big red python satin prince Yuanfu, his red face was covered with sweat, and he kept panting.It was hard for him, a seven-year-old child, to kneel in the sun numbly, listening to the master of ceremonies recite a long eulogy.

Just before the master of ceremonies landed the last word, he couldn't bear it any longer, knelt and crawled in front of the palace man holding the prince's crown, grabbed the crown of Hanzhong Wang Li, and put it on his head.Everyone at the scene was surprised, only Yuan Feiliu kept his expression on and shouted: "Thank you Lord Long En."

Then he stood up all of a sudden, and talked about it for a long time, but he was too young to reach such a big crown, so he turned his head and called to the female family seat: "Stupid Chuxi, why don't you come quickly and fix the crown for me?"

Only then did Chuxi come to his senses, and hurried over to help Yuan Feiliu rectify his crown, sweating profusely and said in horror: "The gift has not been completed, please kneel down and apologize."

Yuan Qingjiang watched Yuan Feiliu approaching in a leisurely manner, passing through a row of century-old giant trees, passing through the fragrant and sweaty ladies' chariots, and arriving under the canopy of Kowloon, the Son of Heaven. kneel down.Yuan Qingjiang raised his phoenix eyes slightly, someone in the palace had served iced sour plum soup, Yuan Feiliu tried his best to take it without losing his manners, but still couldn't help but drank it down, and let out a long sigh of relief.

He said slowly: "In a moment and a half, the child will faint on the spot, and the sooner the minister accepts the king of Hanzhong, the sooner he can relieve his father's worries, the minister is sincere, why should he value these vain gifts? Today It was first determined that the father and emperor are merciful and virtuous to the world, and he has always observed the sentiments of the people, so he will not care about the child and criticize his ministers harshly."

After finishing speaking, I bowed down and bowed down.

Yuan Qingjiang stood up helplessly, pulled Yuan Feiliu up, and tapped his forehead, "You monkey head, like your mother, is about to become a sperm. How can I punish you?"

Everyone hissed and laughed softly. Yuan Qingjiang wanted to hug Yuan Feiliu, but Yuan Feiliu turned around, took a step back, hugged his belly, twisted his body, and said pitifully: Zhun'erchen first pay respects, and then come to make amends."

Yuan Qingjiang not only didn't look angry at all, but turned his head up to the sky and laughed, and everyone also relaxed and laughed loudly.Jinxiu stepped down from the throne, held back a smile and pleaded guilty for Yuan Feiliu, and accompanied him to the harem to change clothes with Chuxi.

"Old Yuanshu Taizu Benji" says:

Feiliu became king, the summer heat was hard to dissipate, and he couldn't finish the song. He took the crown and wore it, and thanked him loudly. How can you blame him?" The emperor was so addicted to him that he didn't blame him, so he sent the imperial concubine Hua to lead him to the toilet, smiled and said to the left and right: "This child is like me."

In the afternoon, the Taizu gave a big banquet, and he happily invited the harem and Xuanyuan's noble clan to celebrate his youngest son becoming king.The building of Liuzhu Hall originated from the Fushi Kingdom. There are no tiles on the hall, and the white marble of the Han Dynasty is used as the end. All over the house, the mechanism is ingenious and secret, and no one knows it.Viewers can only hear the sound of springs on the house, like flying pearls splashing jade, and see the four eaves flying, hanging waves like waterfalls, stirring up the air into a cool breeze, and ice chips are spread in the hall, which is so ingenious to cool off the heat, so it is called Liuyu hall.

It's a pity that our protagonist Yuan Feiliu is a little absent-minded, always looking at Yuan Feiyan in the seat and Chu Ren behind him, or maybe he suffered from heatstroke under the sun today, and only forced a smile in the public office, but his expression is a little tired .He found some free time to come to us, sat beside me and shook my wide sleeves for a long time, then turned his head to the side, looked at Princess Annian with his shining phoenix eyes, and asked with a smile: "Miss Huang, what are you doing today?" Er is a good day for my younger brother, why didn't Chongyang come?"

Princess Annian smiled and told the lie that Xiao Chongyang was exposed to the sun and had a high fever, so she could not come.Yuan Feiliu let out a disappointment when he thought that Song Chongyang, his perennial target and playmate, fell ill on such an important day.

Taizu was also a little worried when he heard this, and taught Princess Annian earnestly, "Among so many descendants, I am only worried about Chongyang, and so is Guangqian. Annian needs to take good care of her these few days."

Yuan Feiyan pointed lightly at the goose-yellow cloak, lowered his eyes in reverence, and had a slender posture.

Taizu's phoenix eyes swept across the young ladies and weaklings in the Liuyu Palace, and he seemed to remember something, so he said loudly: "We men of the Wu family, in order to follow the way of heaven, bathe in blood in the front, charge forward to kill the enemy, the most taboo is to worry about the family members behind. Ladies present here, since you are the wives and daughters of warriors, and your status is precious, you should strictly abide by women's morals, give birth to warriors, respect the old and love the young, and take care of the family well, and don't teach men to worry about it."

I secretly sighed, as expected of being an emperor, even the "Nv Jing" was interpreted so perfectly!The queen on the left lower head of Taizu, the young Xuanyuan Yufen, dressed in a fiery red unicorn and phoenix robe, took the lead to step down from the throne, bowed down respectfully, parted her red lips softly, and bowed softly, leading all the female relatives to bow down respectfully.

Before the hour came, Taizu retreated first with Empress Xuanyuan, and Jinxiu also retreated first with Feiliu in his arms.

After sitting for a while, I felt a foreign object nibbling me in my wide sleeve, so I excused myself from feeling unwell.

Back in Xifengyuan, he poured out his wide sleeves, and the big mouse jumped out cleverly, jumped on the pear tree and rushed to the fruit bowl, picked the biggest apricot, and gnawed it vigorously.As soon as he was halfway through the gnawing, he raised his small ears, threw the apricot, and was about to fly to hide. A black shadow flashed by, and Qingcheng's long tail was instantly slapped on the table by a black dog's paw.Qingcheng turned around and bared her long fangs bravely and viciously at the big black dog.

A bald boy came over, took the big black dog away, ended the dog's fight with the mouse, and lightly tapped Xiao Zhong's black nose, "Don't mess with this letter mouse, its ability is not as small as its size .You can't beat it!"

Xiao Zhong expressed doubts and barked at Lan Sheng angrily, turned his head arrogantly, ran to my feet and knelt down obediently.I patted it lightly as a sign of reassurance.Xiao Zhong licked my hand, but raised his dog's head, squinting his black dog eyes to stare at Qingcheng.

Qingcheng climbed to the edge of the table and scolded Xiao Zhong condescendingly.

I don't know why, but the way these two divine beasts look at each other reminds me of how Riyuan Feibai and Song Minglei hated each other in the rain that day.

While I was thinking wildly, I heard someone firing a small cannon in my ear. I turned around in shock, and it turned out that Lan Sheng was bending over and snapping his fingers at me.

"Sweet-talking life will always make a woman dull." Lan Sheng sighed sincerely.

I smiled embarrassedly, and then I remembered that I didn't ask Lan Sheng to sit down.Lan Sheng shook his head helplessly, sat opposite me talking to himself, beckoned Xiao Zhong to pass, and then took out Yuan Feibai's secret letter from Xiao Zhong's collar.

I unfolded the note, but I saw Feibai wrote: The march of the Yuande Army went well.On the third day after Taizu ascended the throne, Yuan Feibai and Feiyan rushed back to Dingzhou territory. After a difficult battle, they won a great victory in Dingzhou. Now the Yuan German army has joined the Yanzi army in Jeju. The front-line outpost in Fazhou, an important military town, after the Linde Army conquered Linzhou, Mr. Han also received permission from the Holy Lord to be transferred, and he returned to the Yuande Army smoothly.

During the Battle of Dingzhou, Feibai and Yu Feiyan cooperated very tacitly. They accepted good advice and adopted Mr. Han’s suggestion. The troops under the flag are different. Not only did they not abuse torture and severely punish the military members, but they tried their best to recruit the people in the recovered areas. First, they treated the captives kindly. If they did not want to return to the original army, they were treated as refugees. Treat the common people of Dingzhou as the common people of the imperial capital, and treat them equally. The first thing to do when opening the city gate is to issue a notice of Anmin, and open a warehouse to release grain.

Over time, it has spread throughout the territory of Dou Zhou that Yuan and German troops have strict military discipline, and there are no offenders in autumn.As the three teams of the Yuan family continued to advance into the territory of Douzhou, the city defenders gradually opened the city gates to welcome the Yuande army.This time outside Jeju City, Mr. Han played Zhuge God again. The guard Yin Yutong was persuaded to surrender. Praise each other.

Hearing his tone was very pleasant, and I felt relieved. In the letter, he asked me to take good care of myself, and included a prescription. I couldn't help frowning: "A letter, half of it is full of prescriptions."

At this time, Xiaoyu came over and served us tea and some snacks.Lan Sheng took a sip, glanced at the letter, and said indifferently, "It's with ulterior motives."

I looked at Lan Sheng, and was about to refute why he was so sarcastic, Lan Sheng mocked lightly, and said in an extremely depressed tone: "It's probably the prescription he asked old man Lin to take time to prescribe for you to raise a baby." Good body, quickly give him a pair of big fat boys."

For a moment, my blood surged up, and I was tongue-tied.Xiaoyu looked at the prescription saying quit tea and alcohol, put on a pretty face, slowly took the tea back, brought up another bird's nest, and muttered, "He's just walking on the snow." Young master, how can you be sure to give birth to a pair of boys?"

Lan Sheng took another sip of tea and glanced at Xiaoyu, "Miss Xiaoyu, don't be unconvinced. If you really have a baby, Lan Sheng is willing to make a bet with the girl that your husband will either not have a baby, or if he does, he will definitely give birth to a pair of big fat boys." .”

"Xiaoyu, don't listen to your uncle Lan Sheng's nonsense." At that time, I didn't take Lan Sheng's words to heart, I just laughed, nodded emphatically to Lan Sheng, and simply made such a judgment, "Jeju Guard General Yin Yu Tong has surrendered to Big Brother Yu, and the conquest of Fazhou is just around the corner, so today...he must be in a very good mood."

But Xiaoyu curled her lips unconvinced, expressing her disbelief.

At this time, Xiao Zhong suddenly ran to the dressing table, put his two dog paws on the table, and sniffed for a long time at the blue and white bottle with a butterfly pattern beside the rhombic mirror.Xiaoyu forgot the grievance of having a child for a while, and she whispered in fright: "Xiao Zhong, don't drop the bottle, it is an ancient relic from the previous dynasty bestowed by the lord, the heart of King Jin."

Xiaoyu went there to argue and work hard with Xiaozhong.

Weiwei hurried in when she heard Xiaoyu's exclamation.The crystal curtain shook violently for a few times, and the two pretty girls laughed and bustled for a while, and immediately drove Xiao Zhong back to Lan Sheng.Xiao Zhong yelled a few times at the big white flower without hesitation.

Lan Sheng turned his head to look at the blue vase, where a bouquet of pure white flowers was inserted, "This flower is both fragrant and beautiful... I think it is the famous Dali flower Chaozhu?"

I smiled at him and nodded slightly, "Xiaoyu misses her homeland, and the king of Jin specially allowed her to plant a plum in the corner of the plum garden. I don't want this child to have a heart, so I planted it for her. This is the first flower that blooms this year. Tweed."

Lan Sheng folded his hands on his chest, tilted his head slightly at me, and smiled faintly.Between the picturesque eyebrows, there is a sense of clarity and tranquility like distant mountains.

After Lan Sheng left, I went into the boudoir and looked at last month's cash flow statement with Xiao Yu, and lamented that the first month in Chang'an was really difficult. Fortunately, we have the foundation and Yuan's support. It was relatively easy to earn the first pot of gold back then.

At midnight, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the clouds were calm and the wind was light, I finished my business work, closed the account book, and looked at Xiaoyu who was slightly red-eyed.

"The wind is getting strong, and this servant went to close the window." Xiaoyu said to Weiwei outside with a pretty face, "Weiwei, madam is resting, please light up the candle light carefully."

There are gilt and chiseled copper hooks on the antique partition of Duobao Pavilion, and a soft curtain of red flowers is hung on it, which separates the inside and outside of the boudoir. With a pretty figure, she is sitting in front of the Linghua bronze mirror, carefully fiddling with a very small jade mill, and the whole body of the stone mill is covered with delicate pear blossoms.

After Weiwei was rescued, old man Lin specially prepared a face-rejuvenating ointment for her, which miraculously healed the scorpion sting wound on her face, and now she is only slightly swollen.Recently, Mr. Lin suggested that I can also apply some, but I need to add some good pearl powder.When the emperor heard about it, he generously bestowed a dendrobium of Nanpu Hezhu.

Weiwei, whose beauty is more important than Mount Tai, volunteered to take on the job. Under the candlelight, Weiwei lowered her head, a strand of blue hair fell on her forehead, and she swayed slightly with her movements. She hummed lightly without raising her head. , I answered Xiaoyu, I just put the pearls bestowed by the Holy Majesty in the jade mill under the lamp, and carefully crushed them into powder, so that they can be mixed in the face-rejuvenating ointment.

Xiaoyu folded back with confidence, closed the door gently, and then while pretending to close the window, looked around again when there was no one around, and turned her back to the window to block the possible peeping sight outside for me.

Xiaoyu took the silver hairpin inlaid with pearls from the dressing table, dipped it in honey, and went to the bottle of chaozhu flowers that were still dripping with dew.After a while, a big bee flew out of the budding bead flower on the side branch without a sound. The four little feet behind the big bee tightly hugged a small roll of bark. Attracted by the honey on the silver hairpin, she put down the cinnamon bark in her arms and climbed onto the silver hairpin.Xiaoyu took the bark, then used another hosta to pierce the bark, and handed it to me.

Qingcheng sniffed it, and became more interested in honey.I asked Xiaoyu to dip an apricot in some honey and stuff it for Qingcheng. The big mouse calmly hugged the big apricot and licked it, sitting next to me and watching the big bee and me.

I took the bark and couldn't help but smile.I remember when I was still in Moyuan, when Guazhou Qionghua was in full bloom that year, he secretly returned from the battlefield to accompany me to enjoy the Qionghua. I don’t know who started it. When it comes to passing news in spy work, Whoever has a better idea than anyone else loses and drinks alcohol, we start to argue, talk nonsense, and talk about all possible ways to convey information.In fact, most of them are just wild nonsense, which is absolutely unacceptable.Although the wine at that time was Huadiao wine from Jiangnan, it was not very strong, but my capacity for alcohol was extremely light, and I fainted after drinking a few cups, and my mind began to get confused. At that time, I was dizzy thinking that Duan Yuerong, an ignorant guy, would definitely make fun of me, but unexpectedly, he suppressed his smile, thought seriously for a moment, and then looked at Meng Yin who was also thinking deeply beside him, dumbfounded. Said: "Actually, I think you are more qualified than Meng Yin for the important position of Baiguan."
