[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Tang Xi poked out a small head from under the quilt, his eyes were like black beads soaked in spring water, the clear black was covered with a thin layer of water vapor.She looked at the queen, tried her best to adjust her facial expression, and grinned softly: "Mother queen."

It doesn't seem to be any different than it used to be.The queen responded lightly, she sat down, stretched out her plain white hands, and the undyed Danko on the round and manicured nails showed more and more the thin and pale crescent moon.She stretched out her hand, brushed the corners of Tang Yu's eyes with her fingertips, and wiped away her tears as if unintentionally, a little bit hot, like a burning fire, burning up to the tip of her eyebrows, and she frowned beautifully: "Crying? Do you?" Nightmare?"

Tang Xi nodded hesitantly, sniffed, hooked the queen's slender neck, and leaned on her shoulders.The queen didn't ask her what she dreamed of, nor did she laugh at her timidity. She raised her hand and caressed her back from top to bottom. The soft touch, the aggrieved and restrained sobs made the queen feel like she was back in her dream. Three or four years ago, the child staggered towards her, unguarded, unguarded, and completely innocent, imprisoned in the harem for several years and forced to cool and even cruelly warm her soul little by little.

The queen patted her lightly and comforted her: "The spring is just right today, the garden is covered with flowers and plants, let's go and have a look?"

"Okay." Tang Yu nodded.The queen mother probably didn't see why she was sad, and when she entered the palace and saw her huddled under the quilt, she guessed that she had a nightmare during her afternoon nap, and she just used this as a prevarication.

The queen wanted to put her down and let her go by herself, but she held her tightly and couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to say: "Xiaoqi, the courtyard is still a long way from here, the queen mother can't hug you." An old child has no lack of arms or legs, how can he be hugged if there is a disagreement?

Tang Xi clings to her, rubbing his little head against her neck, and the loose strands of hair rubbing against her make her itchy, and coquettishly said: "My mother doesn't know, but there was a big bad wolf in the dream, it was horribly born, and it moved swiftly, chasing after my son. , Erchen's legs are weak and he can't walk."

The queen saw through this lie that even ghosts would not believe, and looked down at her: "You have such short legs that you can't catch up with you, that gray wolf deserves to starve to death."

Hearing this, Tang Yu let go of the arms around the queen's neck, and applauded in a serious manner: "The queen mother is a god! It is really starving to death!" She stalked her beard vigorously, trying to stay in the queen's arms for a while longer, but she couldn't help feeling faintly worried. Get up—reborn, can her genes from her previous life be copied and pasted?After all, he was 1.7 meters tall in his previous life, and his legs were not short...so wronged...

The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, the queen mother is gentle, and the queen mother is also unfeeling. When she walked out of the dormitory, she couldn't help but put Tang Yu down, wrapped her small palm in her big palm, and walked down the corridor with her.The breeze blew past, bringing the fragrance of flowers, and the sun slanted in, casting a thin and warm light like gold leaf, pulling the backs of the two of them into one long and one short, and turning around, the two backs intertwined with each other , giving birth to the meaning of being together.

The willow trees in the courtyard sprouted, and thousands of delicate willow branches hung down their waists one after another.In the flower garden, all kinds of flowers are blooming one after another, the servants are pruning the branches, and the maid is picking the petals.Layers of folded Taihu Lake rocks are stacked with mountains, Dingdong spring water trickles through the gaps, and a section of hollow green bamboo connects, leading the spring water into the pond, red carps wagging their tails, and fish bubbles.

By the pond, the Queen and Tang Yu were swinging on a swing.The swing frame was set up by the queen's order three years ago. The vines block out the sun, and the wood is simple and simple. When you swing to a high place, you can overlook the majestic imperial city.At that time, not long after Tang Yu entered the palace, she was a girl, and Tang Yan and Tang Dai's two elder brothers were both boys, and they were much older than her, so it was not fun to be together.The queen was worried that she didn't even have a companion to play with. Over time, her temperament might become withdrawn, so she found a lot of things from inside and outside the palace. Either she played by herself or the queen accompanied her. lonely.

The swing gets higher and higher, and the mood seems to be placed on a high place, floating and enjoying itself.Tang Yu didn't like this, she sat on the swing with the queen, just sat quietly, looking at the sky with her, blowing the wind with her, the sunlight above her head seeped in through the cover of the vines, making the two of them feel happy. It's nice and warm - that's good.

The queen asked her what she was talking about today.Tang Lin's breathing was stagnant, and she became tense, and then she thought that the queen was just caring about her routinely, whether she had learned the truth from it, whether she had encountered confusion and confusion, and whether she had seriously studied and listened to politics——Tang He sometimes thought that this move might be redundant, because she would be excluded from the fierce competition for the throne, and at most she would be a vassal king in the future.

The queen's eyes fell on her cheeks, not persuasive, questioning or even serious, but it made Tang Yu feel nervous. This kind of nervousness is similar to the gags in his previous life when he was studying and was called by the counselor to ask questions. He was a few years older than the empress, and unconsciously became inarticulate.Interlacing fingers, he hesitated and hawed uneasily after finishing speaking, the queen nodded, and asked her if she had any doubts to be answered in today's lectures.

Tang Yu wasn't sure if the queen had seen what she was thinking, even if there was only a sporadic possibility that the queen would not know how much she missed her biological parents, she was willing to stick to it.Twisting the corners of her clothes with her fingers, she lowered her head and hesitated for a while, thus missing the empress' distress hidden in her eyes. When she looked up, she really looked puzzled with her eyebrows furrowed: "Sixth brother is late for the lecture today, sir. Punish him, but punish the waiter for reading and copying, why?"

The queen looked at her, and was silent for a moment. During this moment, Tang Yi's palms were covered with thin sweat, and he hardly dared to look at the queen.The matter of copying the book was absolutely true, not a lie, but she felt guilty and uneasy, as if she should never have concealed even a little bit from the queen.

When the stalemate was about to break, the queen said softly: "If King Cheng has done something wrong, he will be stingy, so he shows the way of being a king's son. Although Shang Zan is a gentleman who teaches you knowledge, he is also your Majesty's teacher." A subject, the way of a ruler and a subject cannot be disobeyed."

Tang Yu couldn't agree with it: "Yu got out of the car and wept for his sins, rigidly saying 'one person is guilty of the people'. If the sages are like this, why do we have to implicate so many people when we make mistakes?"

The appearance of Tang Yu puffing up his cheeks and citing scriptures with plausible words surprised the queen, but felt a little cute.The corners of her lips were curved, she raised her hand to touch the back of Tang Yu's neck, and said to her: "Xiao Qi, this is not contradictory. The former fulfills etiquette, while the latter promotes benevolent governance. You are very pleased to think of this mother queen." Puzzled, the queen broke the truth into pieces, and said, "Shang Zan punishes the waiter, you are just a bystander, and even if you have objections to this action and think it is inappropriate, what does your sixth brother think? If you make a mistake, it is commendable to be willing to take responsibility, but being a king is different from ordinary people, and you should cultivate yourself and rule others. You are heirs, and you cannot impose additional punishments, otherwise the way of the king and his ministers will be disrupted."

The queen's voice was like the flowing water in the mountains and forests in the morning, dyed with a layer of warm halo, flowing softly into Tang Yu's ears and flowing through her heart.This voice made her understand things, taught her etiquette, gradually relieved her nervousness, and solved her doubts, but she blurted out unconsciously: "According to this, if my son makes a mistake, no one can control and punish him? "

As soon as the words fell, the queen patted the forehead lightly. Tang Yu rubbed his head and looked up with grievances in his eyes.When it was time to teach, the queen didn't laugh and laugh with her, and said seriously: "If you make a mistake, I will be there."

"My son is obedient, and I won't make mistakes that will make my mother angry and hurt her body." Tang Wei tilted his head and thought for a while, no one can do anything wrong without being a sage, she said too absolutely that if she broke her promise in the future, it would be embarrassing, so she said again As if to get into the Queen's arms, pillowed on her lap, looked at the Queen with clear and beautiful peach eyes, and said very seriously, "Even if you make a mistake, the minister will take the blame and be punished by the queen. "

How could the queen be willing to beat and scold her and punish her? After raising her for several years, she never said a single harsh word.Although the words were childish, but full of filial piety, the queen responded with a light smile, and stretched out her hand to smooth out the messy hair on Tang Yu's forehead just now. The hair was too long, and after straightening, it faintly covered a pair of beautiful eyebrows .Back then, the child who couldn't even walk steadily could speak nice and clever words in the blink of an eye to make people happy. If there is only one bad thing...

The queen's palm was pressed on Tang Yu's forehead across the bangs. Tang Yu raised his eyes a little, and he could see her knuckle fingers, especially her little finger. This beauty stands out from the visual effect, the nails are round and full, and the pink color is just right, gorgeous and not ostentatious.

Forced to stare at his stubby fingers for the past few years, Tang Yu was attracted by the queen's fingers, immersed in the world of admiring beauty, suddenly the queen asked, "Xiaoqi, do you miss your parents?"

Although the empress was not with her during the lectures, the attendants were all her chosen confidantes, so what happened in the Wenhua Palace could escape her attention.As children grow up, they should have their own space. She knows this and doesn't interfere too much, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care.Especially when the king of Xuancheng passed away suddenly, Tang Dai wept uncontrollably in front of everyone. How could Tang Dai's mood not be affected by such a small child?When the queen came back from her work, she summoned the wet nurse and the lady of the palace to inquire. Knowing that Tang Yu was in a bad mood today, and that she had eaten very little lunch, she went to the bedroom and led her to the courtyard to relax.The queen hoped to guide her to release her emotions, holding them in her heart for a long time was not good for her health, but she actually underestimated her tough mind, the queen knew that she didn't want to be sad, she didn't want to be in a dilemma.

Children of this age are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Tang Yu suddenly became at a loss, she got up hastily, and explained in a panic: "No - I didn't miss my parents... No, I missed my parents, but I can hold back... Well, it's not, my son My father is my father, my mother is my mother, and I..."

Her vague speech was interrupted by the queen's embrace.The queen hugged her into her arms, stroking her small head as if she was gently rubbing her soft and short hair when she was a baby, and the rich fragrance from the queen's body diffused out bit by bit, Tang Yu was immersed in it, no longer struggling Explain, just listen to the queen's gentle voice: "What stupid things are you talking about. Missing is missing, you don't need to hold back, your parents are the ones who gave birth to you, and the ones who educate you are also parents, and you have to have both."

Tang Yu nodded, and the corners of his eyes became inexplicably moist.

The queen felt the wetness on her shoulders, and said amusedly, "Crying twice a day, are you a crybaby? You'll make people laugh if you say it."

Tang Yu refused, and said coquettishly: "My son is still young, you can cry three times a day, the mother will not let outsiders laugh at me."

The corner of the queen's lips smiled: "Cry again before going to sleep that night, and cry for the queen mother, and I will make jokes alone."

Tang Xi acted coquettishly: "Mother——"

"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you, I only see you as a child at this moment. Wipe away the tears and go to the palace. I need to put something on my eyes. I'm afraid my eyes will hurt when I practice calligraphy at night."
