Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 44 He Lan

Although Xiangcheng Palace is called a temporary palace, it is much simpler than Daming Palace.The place where I live is just an ordinary courtyard, except for two warm soup pools, the house is no more than an ordinary prince's mansion, only the rich and noble atmosphere is very similar to the Daming Palace - there are big gold and jade everywhere, The flower barrier needs to be more than three feet long, a pair of vases needs to be made, the scrolls need to be from the ancients, the flowers must be fragrant and bright, the curtains must be either silk or satin, and the things cannot be plain, but they must be carved with dragons and embroidered with phoenixes, as if otherwise you cannot see heaven. dignified.

The most important thing in this yard are two pools, one big and one small, one big pool with a square meter of [-] zhang, it is the original lukewarm soup, the water is only lukewarm, the color of the water is yellowish, even the rising mist has a faint yellow color; There is a small pond of Zhang Xu, leading to an unknown creek beside it—most of the rivers near the palace are shared by many families, but this creek is enclosed in a forbidden garden, guarded by special personnel, and is dedicated to this pond alone— — There are eighteen faucets on both sides of the pool, nine of which enter the water and nine of which exit the water. There is a gauze, the stream is clear by itself, and then blocked by layers of gauze, the water coming out is even more translucent; there is only a relatively strong gauze blocking the outlet of the water, so as not to accidentally flow out of the harem.I don't know what mechanism is set up under the pool. Whenever you look at it, the water is boiling hot. The palace people sprinkled flower petals in it regularly, steaming the whole room full of fragrance.

These two ponds are built on the east side of the teahouse, which is a corridor-like place, connecting the ponds at one end and the main house at the other end.Some wooden shelters were set up outside the pool. Since the yard still has walls, this shelter was built very easily. Only two or three have walls, but there are four hanging in the middle. There are paintings of ladies and polo, and every two pieces of the wall are bent deliberately, as if it is not a wall, but a real screen. There is a bamboo curtain hanging on the side without the wall, and there is a gauze curtain inside the bamboo curtain. If the sky is fine, the bamboo curtains are rolled up, the veils are hung down, and the light penetrates from the outside, and the whole pool is illuminated like water jade, so they are called "water jade pools". The pool water is connected with the tea house, and together they are called "Shuiyu Pavilion".

It’s the cold winter season, when it’s snowing, wearing a light shirt, soaking in the pool water, drinking tea and watching the snow, I don’t know how pleasant it is.Wait until the whole body is hot, and then walk back to the main house with an umbrella, a fiery red fox fur, and wooden clogs along the wooden corridor of the teahouse, and stand under the cornice to watch the smoke in the Shuiyu Pavilion. The air is dense, the colorful paintings on the wall are faintly visible in the smoke, and the ladies in the paintings are floating like flying fairy, which naturally has another kind of interest. Wei Huan is envious of such a fairy scene in the world, and it is also a topic. should have meaning.

We went back from the woods, Wei Huan asked someone to chop up the rabbit, and steamed it with dogwood to eat. I didn't have much appetite, so I had a meal with pork and bream bibimbap. While eating, I heard the howling wind outside. After eating I got up and opened the window to look, and saw that the sky was snowing heavily again, so I turned to Wei Huan and said, "It's snowing heavily today, and there's not much to see at night, so it's not easy to make a fuss. Let's wait until the snow stops tomorrow."

Wei Huan said, "It's when the snow is heavy that it's comfortable to soak in hot soup. If you don't go, I'll go by myself."

I glanced at the wind and snow outside, and said: "Then put on more clothes, and I'll wait for you inside." This time Song Foyou went to Luozhou to clean up my residence, and Lady Yang stayed behind in the capital, so I lost two statues here. Even the atmosphere of the Great Buddha became lively, Wei Huan lived with me at night, and the palace people took turns to rest on the couch outside.

Wei Huan nodded, walked to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard the whistling sound of the wind, so I hurriedly fetched a lamp for her from the wall, and then another eunuch opened an umbrella to see her off. In the Shuiyu Pavilion, I just turned back, and before I could scrub, I lay down on the bed, with my hands on the pillow, thinking about the day's affairs with a heavy heart.

On the way back, I asked someone to deliver a letter to Li Rui, asking him for Wu Minzhi's resume.Li Rui couldn't get this thing at all, but fortunately, many of his subordinates have been hanging out in the capital for a long time. Everyone, after talking to each other, they even made up an outline for me and sent it to me before dinner. I picked it up while I was eating, and at the beginning of the chapter, I read "Wu Minzhi, whose original surname is Helan". Or adopted? It’s easy.” After eating a few mouthfuls, the words “Helan” and “Minzhi” were connected together, and I immediately lost the mood to eat—the people in this era are chaotic, and I originally I am not a history buff either, most of the names of these characters are very unfamiliar, but no matter how unfamiliar they are, I still have impressions of several historical celebrities who frequently appeared in various gossip posts and TV dramas in the past life, such as "Shangguan Wan'er", and For example, "He Lanminzhi".As soon as this name appeared, I was *surely sure that my mother was the Wu Zetian in history.

Unexpectedly, history went round and round, and it really turned back to the original track. Whether Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, their sons all married a woman named Wu after all, but I don’t know if their mother will ascend the throne in this life. Yu Ji, if he changes his Yuan and proclaims himself emperor, will he really poison Li Sheng?And my sister whom I have never met, the legendary Aunt Li who was tortured to death, really...was starved to death by the queen?Since the mother knew about her situation, why didn't she report it to the father and the queen mother immediately, instead of reporting it to the father after she died?

The three words "Wu Zetian" are like some kind of strange magic spell, which broke many things that I didn't want to think about deeply. All kinds of doubts that I had buried in my heart for some reason that I didn't think about deeply now all surfaced in front of my eyes. .When it's nothing to do with me, the legendary career of this legendary woman is nothing more than a gossip after dinner, but when I become the daughter of the man who killed a daughter and two sons with his own hands, those leisurely and relaxed days are gone. no longer exists.

The door seemed to be opened, waking me up from my fear and hesitation. When I looked outside, I saw Wei Huan stepping on his cloth shoes and said to me: "It's better to tell them to put out all the candles in the room, and only two people are left. It’s good to have a palace lantern ready for the night, the four walls are all made of wood, don’t let the water go out in the middle of the night.”

I said: "It's still early, and I don't sleep, what's the hurry?"

She turned to look at me: "Jin Wu has come to urge us to lock the door. Why is it too early? You can sleep well. I heard that His Majesty ordered people to prepare meals at night. Tomorrow, he will probably set up a new Liubei Pavilion." Banquet, in case Yuqian and Shi, if you don’t prepare earlier and lose your face, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

I was so surprised that I sat up: "I can't do Heshi, why don't you call me sick."

Wei Huan said: "Can you rely on this one time to sue your illness, or can you rely on it every time? According to me, you should get up early tomorrow, read through the old poems, and memorize twenty poems in your stomach. When going to a banquet, "Green Jade" will be changed to "Xiangyu", "Tianen" will be changed to "Shengen", and a few more words such as Futian and Ganlin will always be perfunctory. , and it’s a woman, no one cares about it.”

I listened to what she said, so I slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and blamed her: "Why is it that I am a woman and no one pays attention to it? Don't women have literary talents?"

Wei Huan said: "Reciting poems and composing poems is a man's business. As a woman, she must be a person who is extraordinary and free from vulgarity, and is rare in the world."

I couldn't hear such words, and said angrily: "Who said that reciting poems and prose is a man's business? If women can study like men, they will not be inferior to them!"

Wei Huan said with a smile: "Don't tell me that, it's useless. It's better that you write a peerless poem tomorrow, and when it becomes a blockbuster, everyone will know that women are no worse than men."

I was choked by her words, and after a long while, I said: "I don't know how to write poetry, not to say that all women can't write poems, naturally there are women who can write poems - Shangguan talents are very talented, and Cui Mingde doesn't know how to write poems." Are you also a talented girl? That's right, if you really ask me to go tomorrow, I will tell my mother to call Cui Mingde and the others, and tell them to see that we women are not inferior to men."

Wei Huan said: "Didn't you think Cui Mingde was cold all the time, why are you getting along with her again?"

I said: "We are both women, so naturally we have to share the same hatred." Wei Huan couldn't stop laughing, except for his clothes, he sat next to me, put his hand on Wu Minzhi's resume, glanced at it, then turned his head and closed his eyes and said: "Yes Can't stop, I don't see anything."

I picked up the resume, stuffed it into Wei Huan's hand and said, "I put it here to show you, so you can also check it for me, is my method reliable?"

Wei Huan opened his eyes to look at me, frowned and said, "Taiping, do you really want His Majesty to reprimand him? This is to disgrace His Majesty."

I meditated on the name "He Lanminzhi" in my heart again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm [-]% sure that my mother will reject him."
