Who Cares

Retiring Ye Zhen, Emperor Sheng Yuan put down the soup spoon and said in a deep voice, "This soup is for you, drink it while it is hot."

Who would dare to refuse anything from the imperial gift, Bai Fu took the soup bowl flattered and sipped it, deliberately complimenting Ye Jieyu's cooking skills, and fearing that he would anger the emperor by saying the wrong thing, he had to shut up. He really can’t understand the emperor’s thoughts now, saying that he does not pet Ye Jieyu, the concubine of the palace, only with Ye Jieyu can talk to him; say he loves Ye Jieyu, he is in Ganquan Gong always couldn't stay for half an hour, and never stayed overnight.

No wonder that after so many years, not only did Ye Jieyu never give birth, but the other imperial concubines did not move, and the queen mother, who was not his biological mother, did not urge at all, but only concentrated on raising the little emperor grandchildren left behind by a few princes. Your Majesty is already twenty-seven and eighty this year. If there is no good news, the courtiers will be criticized in a few years. Bai Fu now finally understands the taste of "the emperor is not in a hurry, the **** is in a hurry", but he dare not bluntly persuade him.

While thinking, Emperor Sheng Yuan had leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The sky outside the window dimmed, and a shadow covered his stern face. His thin lips were pressed tightly, and he was slightly pulled down, showing a bit of melancholy. gas.

Bai Fu didn't know what happened to the emperor's Bailongyu clothing, but he was sure that he was in a bad mood now. If he made a mistake, he might hit the gun. All the servants who can work in the Weiyang Palace are human beings, and they don't need to be reminded by the chief manager to have their ears and eyes drooping, and they don't dare to make mistakes.

In this deadly atmosphere, time passed quietly, as if a long time passed, or just a moment, Bai Fu suddenly heard His Majesty's low voice, "Bring the "Book of Songs" over, I want to see it."

"Here." Bai Fu quickly found the book and placed it on the silk-covered tray.

Emperor Sheng Yuan turned around at will, his obscure gaze suddenly stopped. After a while, he slowly said, "There are arbor in the south, so you can't rest. Han has wandering girls, so you can't think about it. The vastness of the Han, you can't think about swimming. Jiang Zhiyong is unbelievable. Baifu, can you sing this poem? Sing it and listen."

"His Majesty, due to wars and disasters, the rise and fall of the princes, the exodus of the people, many of the tones in the Book of Songs have been lost. The slaves are shallow and do not dare to show their ugliness. If your Majesty really likes it, it is better to consult the Emperor tomorrow. His old man may know one or two."

"Please Guan Qiguang sing love poems? That's all." Sheng Yuan shook his head and chuckled, as if thinking of something, muttered, "Someone can sing, but if she sings to me, I will be more pathetic. It would be better not to see. If you don’t hear it, it’s clear."

Which woman doesn't even want your face? Who can make you sad? Bai Fu felt unbelievable. Seeing that his majesty's expression changed from eagerness to loss, and then to gloomy and depressed, he finally did not dare to ask.

Zhenbeihou Mansion, Shangfang.

Zhao Chunxi had waited in the side hall for more than an hour, but he couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he saw that Guan Suyi had not yet returned to the house. Her two big maids, Hexiang and Xueliu, frequently ran to the second door to look around, their faces full of impatience. After a few quarters of an hour, Hexiang ran back and said angrily, "Miss don’t wait, let’s go back. Madam knows that you are coming to make amends today, but she went out without saying hello and asked you to wait, she said. I left you on purpose on purpose!"

"My aunt is about to pass the door. I have been close to Wang Shu and my aunt since childhood. She is worried that we will be ensnared, which will shake her position. It is not strange to give us some prestige." Zhao Chunxi squeezed her veil and secretly endured it. .

"But you are the elder sister of Hou Fu Zheng'er anyway, should you let her learn? She treats you so coldly, you should let Hou Ye know it, otherwise she will swallow for a long time, and she will treat you as a soft persimmon. , Squeeze it more smoothly."

"You don't need to tell daddy, even if you tell him? He always asks me to please Guan a lot, and don't be disobedient. After all, my dowry and future have to depend on her to plan. She also insulted me as a child raised, daddy He even ignored them and ignored them. They all said that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. This is true."

"Miss, the maidservant said something more imperceptible. Aunt Ye is your own aunt anyway, and there are Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, Empress Jieyu, and even the emperor. She is not comparable to an ordinary concubine, and she will be born next day. To lay off a heir, you only need Empress Jieyu to issue a decree, which means she will be abdicated as a flat wife. Then she is equal to the Guan family. Why should you alienate Aunt Ye according to Hou's instructions, but force her to go. How about getting close to the Guan family?" After saying this, He Xiang looked around, quite guilty of conscience.

Zhao Chunxi's eyes lit up slightly, and then dimmed again, "Tied to become a wife? Will it lead a wolf into the room?"

"What kind of person auntie Ye is, do you still know? She has watched you and the young master grow up since she was a child, and when you treat you as yourself, she is better than the Guan family. If you are worried After she has an offspring, her heart is changeable, so she will simply give her a few years of medicine. When you get married, the young master will be named a son and inherit the knighthood, and then give her another child to support her."

If you can give Ye Fan medicine, you can also give Guan's medicine. Zhao Chunxi's heart trembled slightly, and he was obviously moved. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "My aunt is born from a humble background. It is not easy to get a decent wife, and she still needs to work slowly. However, I have limited time, but I have to leave the cabinet in two or three years. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait for her to come out."

"Miss, you are thinking about it. The length of time is not only determined by the gods, but also by us. Empress Jieyu's holy favorite is unfailing, and a few words of pillow breeze will be able to lift the Ye family into the top door. Auntie’s family history has also risen with the tide. And in the mansion, you and her can join hands to deal with the Guan family and suppress it. If the Guan family’s private virtues are at a loss, how can you continue to give it to you and become a wife again? Irrespective of reason. Combining three-sided attacks, she became a falling phoenix in just one and a half years."

"Good idea!" Zhao Chunxi sighed and sighed, then worried, "But after all, she is a first-class fate granted by the emperor. If she is suppressed too hard, will she offend the holy face?"

"Are you still afraid that the emperor will protect her without protecting Ms. Jieyu? The only woman who follows the emperor into and out of the battlefield is Ms. Jieyu. The only woman who lives and dies with him is also Ms. Jieyu, the only woman who gave her life to save her life. It’s even the Empress Jieyu. Now the emperor ascends the throne and proclaims the emperor, and the concubine of the palace only has the highest position. She is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, controls the Sixth Palace, and the Jiaofang is the only pet, such a great honor, let’s not say that I will protect you. It is also easy to create a giant clan of an aristocratic family. Wait, wait, wait until Ms. Jieyu gives birth to a dragon heir, and further, the Ye family should soar into the sky and be full of glory, and you and the eldest master are the juniors whom she values ​​most. The future is bound to be good. You don’t have to be confined to the present, just keep your eyes on the long-term."

"My mother..." Zhao Chunxi changed her words in time, "If my elder aunt can really go further, my grandfather is a righteous state head, and he can be canonized by the rules. By then, the locals will not be afraid of it."

"Yeah, so why do you have to behave in front of the Guan family as the Hou Master ordered? You just need to make friends with your foreign family and stay with Jieyu, and there will be countless prosperity and wealth in the future." He Xiangyue Said that the more I felt clever, I couldn't help showing her color.

Zhao Chunxi was still hesitating. Suddenly Xueliu hurried over and said excitedly, "Miss, just now the concierge handed a message to the slave girl, saying that Empress Jieyu had appreciated many things in Ye Mansion, and one of the eight-foot-tall red coral was exclusively for Aunt Ye. Add makeup, the whole body is crystal clear, the color is gorgeous, the value is priceless, and the eyes of passers-by are straight. The concierge said that the red coral alone is enough to marry the princess! Good deed, Yefu is famous now, everyone All talking!"

He Xiang quickly knocked on the side drum, "Ms. Jieyu really misses the Ye Family the most, and she won't be able to tolerate bullying by others. By then, Aunt Ye won't have to worry about being overwhelmed by that mean maid."

"More than that, Aunt Ye can still press Madam one side in turn, dare not to neglect the eldest lady when they see them in the main room!" Xue Liu raised his chin, expression extremely arrogant.

With such a powerful foreign family and such a favored mother-in-law, what is Zhao Chunxi worried about? She felt refreshed, and immediately greeted the steward, and walked away proudly. As for the dowry and marriage, the mother can help with planning. She is Jieyu, and she only needs one sentence to go on. It is not difficult to let her daughter marry into the family, or to refer to the royal family, and if the Guan family dares to deduct her dowry, the end will be miserable.

As soon as the group of people walked away, Guan Suyi turned back on his hind foot, caught a glimpse of the tea cup that was still warm on the case table, and asked, "Zhao Chunxi has been here?"

"Madam Kai, the eldest waited for you all afternoon, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to go." The lady in charge said as she cleaned up the tabletop.

"I didn't wait for someone to leave. I'm afraid I learned that Ye Jieyu made a face for Ye Fan. It has changed and it is easy to withdraw. In the future, it will be difficult and difficult for our yard to welcome the eldest lady." She disagrees. Smiled happily.

"It's okay if we don't come, our yard is finally clean." Minglan put the brocade box on the desk, and went to prepare tools for repairing the broken pieces of paper.

The master and servant repaired the book until midnight, and finally saved the fragments and pressed them into a special splint. Minglan took advantage of Miss's bath time and asked her to sing an impromptu poem, so as to teach her a few more words. The Guan family is a family of literary magnates, and there is no Confucian scholar who talks and laughs, and there is no such thing as a friend. If you don't have a bit of studious spirit, you will be disgusted by the master if you say no.

Guan Suyi pillowed on the edge of the tub, closed his eyes and slowly hummed, "There are arbor in the south, so you can’t rest. Han has wandering girls, so you can’t think about it. Fang Si." There is a lingering sound, melodious and tactful, but with endless sorrow.

Minglan was stunned and said, "Miss, what does this poem mean? I feel a little sad."

Guan Suyi opened her eyes, looked at the void, and explained word by word, "There are trees in the south of the Han River, but I don't want to explore the forest. The beauty across the water is swimming, but my heart desires but hard to find. The Han water is deep and wide, The water is wide and unable to swim. The Hanshui soup is long and long, even if there are wooden rows. This poem tells of the infatuation of the heart, but it is also full of pain that cannot be desired."

"No wonder I feel so sad in my heart." Ming Lan suddenly shed two lines of tears for some reason, in exchange for Guan Suyi's chuckle. The infatuated person is sad, the infatuated person is pitiful, and the infatuated person is even more ridiculous. In this life, she will never be contaminated with half love.
