crossing with green hills

Today, the Ai family will tell you that the day when the Great Song Dynasty perished was the time when the Ai family died. For the Zhao family's country, the Ai family has endured too much burden from a green girl to a pale-haired one today. "

"Aijia is already tired!"

"You go!"

Empress Dowager Yang rested one hand on the armrest of the phoenix seat, pinched her eyebrows, and waved everyone away.

Don't do what you see, all the people in the palace will fly separately in the face of catastrophe.

But in just a short time, except for Da Zongzheng and a few gray-haired old people, everyone left completely.

Even if some juniors were stubborn and insisted on staying, they were forced to leave.

After a cry of parting in the hall, it finally fell into silence.

Listening to the noise getting closer and closer outside, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly sighed:

"You old fellows are usually like cats who smell fishy, ​​wanting to get a little bit of all the benefits, but now why are you staying and accompanying Aijia, a widow and childless old woman, to die? It's not blind Messing around?"

"Old child, old child, when one gets old, one's heart becomes skinny, as if he has returned to youth and youth. We old men, we have lived long enough, and we will only mess around with the old sister-in-law once more. That's enough. !"

Da Zong was speaking, with a relaxed tone, as if he looked away from some things, not as heavy as before.

The title of ordinary people's family made Empress Dowager Yang startled, and after being stunned, she smiled freely.

The frown that was originally furrowed was also relaxed.

After a few people chatted, they sat quietly in the hall, as if waiting for the last moment to come, waiting for the choice of fate.

Thinking of something, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly changed her expression, and looked at the old people in the hall calmly, and saw that they were not aware of it.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she told them to wait in the side hall first, she wanted to be alone for a while, and then take a look at the palace that has survived for a long time.

This palace once carried the painstaking efforts of the emperors of the Song Dynasty.

When Da Zong was leading people down, Empress Dowager Yang stood up with the special dragon-headed crutches, her aura was fully opened, and she was dressed in a phoenix crown and rosy robes, making this woman who had been in power for many years even more noble.

Like the most luxurious peony, it is dazzling, exuding an awe-inspiring aura of the king of flowers.Another example is the king of birds, standing high above.

"Since you're here, why bother to hide? If people in the world know that the famous Xianjun is actually a gentleman from Liangshang, I'm afraid they will be shocked and sleepless all night."

Empress Dowager Yang spoke with sarcasm, and her voice echoed throughout the hall.

After a while, a breeze suddenly blew in the hall, and a figure in green clothes appeared in the hall, it was Li Tiansheng who had gone all the way south from the desert.

After returning to the Middle Earth, he has been hiding in Lin'an, making arrangements and mobilizing the chess pieces laid out in the early years. After that, he has been staying in the palace, waiting for the big change.

However, at this moment, his eyes showed surprise, and he stared curiously at the last empress dowager of the Song Dynasty, looked up and down, and saw that she was really not a martial arts practitioner, disappointed and puzzled.

Finally couldn't help it, and asked: "You are just an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, how did you find me?"

"The Ai family doesn't know martial arts, but they understand a truth."

Empress Dowager Yang stared at Li Tiansheng intently, "If you want to enjoy the garden full of youthful flowers at night, you first need to learn to touch them and feel them.

Although martial arts can improve one's hearing and eyesight and increase personal perception, it doesn't mean that other ways are useless. "

"You are powerful in martial arts, number one in the world, but in other respects, Aijia is not necessarily inferior to you, and this is the key to Aijia discovering you."

Empress Dowager Yang's gaze was fixed somewhere, Li Tiansheng followed her gaze and couldn't help but freeze.

Chapter 49 Don't treat temples as quacks

"incense burner?"

Li Tiansheng followed Empress Dowager Yang's gaze, and saw the exquisitely carved incense burner with colorful phoenix patterns, but it was only the size of a coconut, and faint smoke flowed out from the exquisitely set phoenix mouth, curling up.

There is a scent of aloes in appropriate shades in the air.

"Scent!" Li Tiansheng suddenly realized, Mao Sai suddenly realized, looked at Queen Mother Yang, exhaled and spoke with seven points of affirmation and three points of disbelief.

"It's the wind that spreads the smell, and you smelled me, thus revealing my location?"

"Yes!"

The Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty answered decisively, staring at Li Tiansheng's still young and tender face with burning eyes, stretched out a palm, and gently stroked her cheek, her eyes became free, as if seeing the past youthful years again.

In the hall, only the voice of her memories sounded, hovered, and reverberated.

"Back then, when you entered the imperial palace at night, the exposure was even deeper. The late emperor was so frightened that he could not sleep for several days.

But the king's love is the most unreliable thing in this world. In order to keep my position and increase the weight in the heart of the late emperor, I began to study incense making and the way of incense desperately.

Every day, I have to distinguish the smell of dozens of kinds of fragrant flowers and woods, swallow a lot of medicinal materials, and carefully prepare spices for the late emperor to rest and calm his mind. "

Speaking of this, this noble lady who has been sitting in the harem for many years, the most honorable woman in the world, laughed at herself, "Since ancient times, men are so unlucky, and they are the most ruthless emperor's family. With more and more women in the palace, the sadness of aging In the end, he could only fall into the eyes of the late emperor with his excellent fragrance blending skills.

So, while desperately grasping the power in my hands, I studied the way of incense, and later, it became a habit. After so many years, my sense of smell is much more sensitive, which can be regarded as a small gain.

When you came to the Great Song Palace for the second time, the Ai family had secretly watched you.

At that time, there was also a gust of wind, and the unique fragrance mixed with the faint bamboo fragrance and medicinal fragrance made people feel refreshed and happy. The Ai family spent decades of effort, but they couldn't match that smell.

This is still fresh in my memory and unforgettable, therefore, as soon as this unique smell on Xianjun appeared, the Aijia discovered you. "

"Now, it's the first official meeting between you and me, but I'm getting old and my face has been covered with hoarfrost, but you are still the same as when we first met, your face hasn't changed."

In the main hall, Li Tiansheng listened quietly, without interrupting the woman's self-talk. He stayed in this palace for a long time, witnessed scenes of dramatic events, and knew that this woman who was abused and reprimanded by the outside world Women, the pain hidden in the heart.

When the man in the family was absurd and incompetent, it was this woman who kept dealing with the courtiers and carried half of the crumbling Southern Song Dynasty on her shoulders.

Although because of knowledge, the means are despicable;

Although there is a certain purpose in hiding, there is selfishness in the heart;

Despite the reasons of narrow-mindedness, suppress dissidents.

But it is undisputed that this woman did make some contributions to the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty and the stability of the court.

Both good and bad.

These words, it is estimated that this high-ranking woman has never mentioned it to the outside world, and now, she is about to end her life, and she has the will to die.

Although she didn't know why, she was willing to tell him, and Li Tiansheng didn't mind listening to it.

Perhaps, this was the first and last time the woman in front of me confide in her heart since she entered the palace.

In the process of listening, Li Tiansheng was also reflecting on himself, reminding himself not to underestimate the people in the world. There are too many things in this world that are beyond expectation.
