[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Shang Zan had to go to the Nuange Confucius incense table to burn incense and ask for lessons, and then he and Tang Xi left in front of the main hall for a while.To overcome the Zhou rituals, there are a few low seats in the Wenhua Hall. When entering the hall, you need to go to the hall and sit with light feet, and sit behind the table.After the inner servant took off Tang Xi's shoes outside the hall, she rolled up her sleeves and entered.

Attendants are all children of the right age selected by the emperor from the royal family, whether they are handsome in appearance, respectful in character, or dignified, they always have advantages.Seeing Tang Yu's arrival, they all whispered and cared about her, such as why she asked for leave yesterday, but her body was sick again, and she never took medicine... all kinds of things.

The villain Tang Yu was surrounded by brothers and sisters who were close relatives and distant relatives in the hall, without showing the slightest timidity, he cleared his throat generously, and reproduced the remarks he had just replied to Shang Zan. , and thank you brothers and sisters for your concern.

She was born snow-white and cute, and she loved to laugh. When she smiled, there were two small dimples on her cheeks, which made her more and more likable. Several brothers and sisters wanted to pinch her cheeks, and stretched out their hands to remind her that she was the daughter of an emperor. give up.Tang Yu's voice was crisp and tender, and his words were dexterous. After Shang Zan entered the hall, the hall became quiet. He walked all the way, looked at Tang Yu a few more times, and said in his heart: "The child of the Tian family is early wisdom, His Highness the Seventh Prince is not immune to it." If you don't see it with your own eyes, it would be really surprising."

Shang Zan explained "Great Learning" and "Shangshu" today. After sitting down, Tang Yu obediently looked at the master and listened carefully. If she wanted to write with a pen, the servant would come forward to lay the paper and ink. Most of the time, it is not necessary. Her hand bones are not well-developed, and writing is only for enlightenment, and writing more is not good.

There are only three low tables and seat rugs in the front row, which are the seats of Linchuan County Prince Tang Yan, Sixth Highness Tang Dai and Tang Yu in turn.

Tang Dai's place was actually empty today, Tang Yu was puzzled - the emperor has always been strict in disciplining his children to study, if it is not due to illness, he must not be absent from work, even if he is late, he has to explain the reason to him.She didn't come here yesterday, and after listening to the administration, the emperor stayed behind to question her. Fortunately, she was weak, so she could be fooled.

However, Tang Dai's foodie, how can there be an excuse for being weak?

Soon, Tang Dai came late and stood outside the hall waiting.The servant came to report in small steps, but Shang Zan made him still wait there, and after finishing the lecture, he took advantage of the rest time to let Tang Dai in.

Compared with three or four years ago, Tang Dai is much longer, and the baby fat that has not faded is very amiable.When Tang Dai entered the palace, she was not as lively as she used to be. The baby's fat face wore a heaviness that was contrary to her age, and her steps were dragged with an inexplicable sense of sadness.

Shang Zan naturally noticed something strange, and asked him in a gentle voice why he was late?

Even though it was a rest, everyone in the hall was there, and they didn't dare to make any noise. When they heard Shang Zan's question, their eyes gathered in twos and threes.

Tang Yu was also curious, and looked with his hands on his chin. Her sixth brother is a typical optimist. Judging from the brother-sister relationship they established on the candied haws that "I treat you to eat but I accidentally ate it all", it can The only reason why Tang Dai was in such a state was that he had been withheld from food by the princess of Xuancheng County again - but it was unreasonable for him to be late.

After Shang Zan finished asking, the hall fell into silence, only the sound of Tang Yan turning the pages of the book and the sound of everyone's breath-holding breath, and such a strange atmosphere obviously paved the way for Tang Dai's shocking statement:

"Father died of illness..."

Time seems to have stood still for a moment. If you take a slow-motion close-up of all living beings, all the servants look at each other with doubts in their eyes; He opened his eyes wide suddenly, his knees were weak, and he almost knelt down to call his ancestors; even Tang Yan, a good student, stopped his movements, and gave a few inches of eyes to Tang Dai at the center of the storm.

As a modern person, Tang Yu lived with his biological parents in Gusu for a year after his rebirth, and moved to the palace while learning how to speak. The intimate title of "Daddy and Auntie" has been forced to forget, so he had to slow down a few beats Only then did he realize that Tang Dai was talking about his father, King Xuancheng, not the emperor.

The pain of losing his father cannot be stopped by beating his wrists and beating his chest. Tang Dai doesn't care what others think of him, or how inappropriate his words and deeds are. When questioned by Shang Zan, he seems to have found an outlet for his emotions, covering his sleeves and crying bitterly: "Mr. often said, 'If you don't have faith, you can't stand'. Don't you know the truth that children understand? He lied to me, he lied to me! When he sent me to the carriage that day, he promised to lead me when I got home. Let the horse shoot and hunt, it is clearly agreed, and I even hooked my fingers!"

Tang Dai was crying uncomfortably, and others were uncomfortable listening to it. Shang Zan was stared away by his tearful eyes, and kept saying "Your Highness's father is His Majesty, and the King of Xuancheng County is his uncle". He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva that was sour from sympathy.

"Father is still so young, he can shoot elk a hundred paces away with a full bow, he promised to tame the horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, and then give it to me, he is still so young, how could he just say die? "

For the first time in Tang Dai's life, he experienced the words "Heaven and man are separated forever" in the book. For no reason, these four words produced a heavy force like a huge stone, which crushed his young body severely. He fell to the ground and cried, It suddenly dawned on him that what his parents said to him back then, "Entering the palace for entertainment and returning home soon" was all deception. Facing the sudden death of his biological father, he could only find a glimmer of pathetic and ridiculous hope in the coaxing, so as to comfort himself from falling into a state of confusion. Cliffs and abysses boundless dark minds.

Tang Dai hooked Shang Zan's clothes with his tiny fingers. This was his master, teaching him knowledge and how to behave in the world. He looked at this knowledgeable and respected man, and he pinned the little hope he had earned from the deception In his case, it is also a deception to be eager to learn from him that the death of his biological father is also a scam: "Sir...Auntie lied to me, right? I didn't study hard a few days ago, and Auntie was angry, so she used this to lie to me, right? "

How can a matter of human life be deceitful.Shang Zan was silent and didn't answer. He knew etiquette but for the first time exceeded the rules, stretched out his hand covered with fine lines and calluses, and patted the back of Tang Dai's hand lightly, followed by a long-suppressed soft sound from his mouth. Sigh—this is the answer, torn apart bloody in front of my eyes, a cruel but true answer.

All the people in the palace, the servants in the palace, either left their homes for several years for the sake of wealth or survival; the servants were the sons and daughters of the vassal kings, and it was really helpless to enter the palace in Beijing to follow the order.Therefore, like the battle of Gaixia, the people of Chu were so sad when they heard the song of Chu, and they all sobbed in a low voice.

Even Tang Yan, who is usually calm and introverted, pursed his lower lip tightly, showing sadness.

Tang Dai, who claimed to have a weak concept of family affection in his previous life, looked at the back of Tang Dai who could not stop crying, and his heart ignited a bit of yearning for his biological parents far away in Gusu. The more it burns, the more it burns, and the longing is like a large piece of spring grass, which is buried deep in my heart, and I can't pull it out. Every time I try to forget, it is followed by the Jingyuan County King and his wife's beloved daughter. Happy smiling face.

In such a situation, the remaining half of the lecture had to be given up, and another servant sent a verbal order, saying that there is no need to go to listen to the government today, presumably it is for the sudden death of Xuancheng County King, the emperor also has many affairs to deal with at the moment.

Returning to Weiyang Palace in a daze, only to know that the queen was not there, Tang Yu heard this, relaxed on the couch as if he was relieved, and locked himself in the bedroom after a hasty meal, not allowing others to come in.

The bed was light and soft, and the hanging gauze was embroidered with gold and silver threads. When the wind blew, it fluttered lightly, enveloping her in a luxurious and luxurious fairyland on earth.The agarwood from the Suan Ni incense burner was curling up, overflowing everywhere. She sniffed the calming and refreshing fragrance, but her mind was full of the damp and choking firewood fragrance when her parents lit a fire and cooked in Gusu.

Those were her biological parents, they were connected by blood, and the kinship of flesh and blood would be broken even if they were boned and cut.How could she not miss it?Tang Dai was only three or four years younger than her, and his father was also in his prime, so his passing away was really unexpected and unthinkable.After thinking about it, this is ancient times, with poor medical conditions and underdeveloped technology, it is normal for the death rate to be high, and it is the same for the royal family to be born, old, sick and die. What's more, the only son of the king of Xuancheng County was snatched away by the emperor. The night thought naturally ended in depression.

Following this thought, Tang Yu turned over and felt even more sad - she is also her father's only daughter, if her father misses her as much as the king of Xuancheng...

Tang Yu shook his head violently, not daring to think about it.She turned over again, just in time to see the clay figurine that the empress gave her when she first entered the palace, next to her pillow.This time, I was thinking of something else——

For reasons of political stability and orthodoxy, adoptive clan children should no longer call their biological parents "father and mother", but should be called "uncles" according to the order of their parents' generation, and they should not communicate with their biological parents. Even letters are restricted.

Since she was adopted by the empress as a daughter, no matter how much she misses in her heart, she should hide it and keep it secret, so as not to let the empress know.The queen treats her as her own. Since she was a child, the queen has brought her whatever she wants, caring for her and caring for her.If the queen sees that she misses her biological parents, on the one hand, as a stepmother, even if she doesn’t say it, the queen will feel bitter and uncomfortable in her heart; on the other hand, although the queen’s mother respects the mother of the world, she is also bound by the ancestral etiquette. There are many things that cannot be done, if you break the rules and regulations for her...

Just think about it, just spread out the image of the queen condescending and begging others in his mind, Tang Yu involuntarily clenched his lower lip, and the fingers holding the bed sheet turned pale—reluctant, no matter what It's okay for the queen mother to be wronged, even if it's because of her.

It's already a difficult thing to achieve, why do you want to do it?Don't think about it, don't show it, don't let the queen mother know!Tang Yi kicked her legs down, then pulled the quilt over her head, covered her mouth and nose, and began to breathe with difficulty. The breathing became heavier and heavier, but she gradually calmed down, her restless heart became calm, and her five senses became clear. The Lingtai was so clear that she could hear someone approaching her in the dark. The fragrance around her was elegant and cold, which she was very familiar with. The person called out in a low voice:

"Xiaoqi."
