[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

In the queen's cold and gentle voice, there was an intimate and teasing tone. Tang Yu liked this voice and tone, but it made her fall into a little embarrassment because of the ambiguity of "can't eat" in her previous life.

Fortunately, the queen didn't know, she only thought that the thin crimson color on her face was the heat from being covered in bed all night.The queen carried her and walked out of the palace, pointing out to her what she saw along the way, and told her the name of the thing in a soft voice.

A child is a piece of white paper, and an adult is a paintbrush. If you draw too heavily, the paper will be damaged. If you draw too lightly, the marks will fade away quickly if it is not deep. She gradually has her own unique scenery.

Going around the corridor and passing through the courtyard, the palace people in the side hall have already prepared a table for breakfast.

On the first day of arrival, the queen asked the wet nurse about Tang Yu's dietary preferences.The wet nurse faltered to answer milk and rouge. Just as she finished speaking, the child came up to hook the blubber on her lips and licked it. It was just one year old but not yet weaned. Where can I eat rouge?

Tang Yi was already shorter than normal children of the same age, the queen was even more worried about her frailty and sickness, so she called a doctor from the imperial hospital to check her pulse and prescribed a medicinal diet. .

The breakfast is placed on the dining table, consisting of a square rice cake, a cup of warm milk and a plate of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.Half an hour later, there was another cup of nourishing and nourishing medicinal food, dark and bitter.

At breakfast, Tang Yu was well-behaved, and the nanny would eat whatever she was fed, without crying or making noise.The only way to feed her was when she turned her head and covered her mouth when taking herbal medicine, and almost forced her mouth open to feed it—even so, her brows were frowning and her eyes were dim, as if she had been wronged.

The empress had never given birth to a child, and when she was in her boudoir at Yan's house in Jinling, the young children under the knees of several uncles were crying and making trouble.

I found it strange, but I found out after asking the nanny that she didn't cry a lot since she was born.

The external application of the medicine has a good effect, and the bruises on the child's face have disappeared, and the skin is fair and tender.

The queen looked at that place, her eyes stayed there for a long time, she sighed silently in her heart, raised her hand and rubbed the child's head, and said to her softly: "The queen mother is going out today, you and the nurse will stay in the palace well, although the medicinal food is bitter , can not but eat."

Tang Xi knew that the queen was going to Baoguo Temple, and they didn't always avoid her when they talked, she could hear a few words.In the past few days, Baoguo Temple has opened a water and land ashram to save the soul of Prince Hong, who died prematurely, and to pray for the royal family.

Prince Hong is the last adoptive son of the empress, and it is said that he has a deep relationship with the empress.

The queen is busy with daily affairs, especially recently, she left after breakfast, and she hadn't come back when Tang Yu fell asleep.

It stands to reason that the queen doesn't need to tell Tang Yu when she goes out, and it's cold outside in winter, so she naturally stays in the palace with the nurse.The medicated food was always given to her by the queen. When the queen coaxed her to drink the medicated food, her voice and eyes became softer, almost turning into water, flowing through her heart like a trickle, forgetting that the medicated food was bitter.

Today, for some reason, the queen was going to go out before feeding her the medicinal food, but she thought it was urgent, and worried that she would not take the medicine, so she gently warned her.

Tang Yu doesn't like to drink medicine, the medicine is bitter.She not only has a keen sense of smell, but also has a more sensitive sense of taste than ordinary people. When she drinks a little bit of bitter medicine, it is very bitter.However, she never wanted herself to be a burden and drag on others.

Tang Yan understood, holding the pitted apple piece bitten by the deciduous teeth in his hand, staring at the queen with clear eyes, nodded greatly, with a serious look: "I will be obedient."

This look seemed a bit silly to the queen, she couldn't help but smiled softly, stood up gracefully, looked back at Tang Yin for a few times, and then left gracefully.

Baoguo Temple.

The eminent monks from the north and the south gathered together, set up an altar to chant scriptures, and rescued the souls of the dead.The pilgrims in the temple are dense, bustling and crowded.

The little novice held a nanmu Buddhist bead and pushed open the door, Xiao Shen thanked him and walked in.

There is no one in the room, there is a rosewood teapot on the table, two white porcelain teacups with thin bodies, the tea is freshly brewed, the heat and the aroma of the tea are steaming, slowly pouring into people's nostrils.

Zhang Xianzhao told Xiao Shen about the chess game between himself and the queen, Xiao Shen twitched his beard and pondered, and asked him to lay out the chess game.Although Zhang Xianzhao was full of doubts, he still did it, when he restored the chess game at that time, Xiao Shen knew what the Queen's intention was.

Zhang Xianzhao prides himself on his superb chess skills, but he doesn't know that there are mountains and mountains beyond others, and the queen is that person beyond others.She was born in a prestigious family, and it was an era when politics was clear and did not suppress women. She was smart and smart since she was a child, and she learned six arts by analogy. Her father Yan Huaixin enlightened her chess skills. People like Yan Huaixin and other Xinsicheng government taught her chess skills. How can chess skills be inferior to Zhang Xianzhao?

Xiao Shen played chess with Zhang Xianzhao, knowing that he is young and energetic, and he has no intention of competing for the first in everything, so he let him know how much he is, for the empress, winning should not take effort.

Xiao Shen guessed that the answer lies in the chess game - sure enough, the Xun and Li hexagrams are hidden between the black and white chess pieces.The Xun hexagram belongs to wood, and wood dominates the east, and the Baoguo Temple is located in the east of the imperial city; the Li hexagram belongs to fire, and this dynasty belongs to fire virtue.

The Empress asked for Prince Hong to preside over the Water and Land Dojo, which was also opened in Baoguo Temple.Xiao Shen firmly guessed that Xiu Mu went to Baoguo Temple that day, but who would have thought that the queen was not there?

The door slammed softly, and a ray of Buddhist incense wafted in.

Xiao Shen turned around, bowed his head and bowed to Master Liaochen who entered the room.

Master Liaochen is the abbot of Baoguo Temple. He has profound Dharma, white hair and white eyebrows. He is over a hundred years old and still in good spirits.

Master Liaochen unhurriedly handed the brocade box in his arms to Xiao Shen, put his hand on his chest and lightly twirled the Buddhist beads, said a few words to the Buddha, and then walked away slowly.

The engraving and branding on the bottom of the brocade box is the handwriting of the general in the palace.

Xiao Shen opened it, and inside was a piece of letter paper, on which a few words were written in lower script with hairpin flowers, and he glanced at it.Xiao Shen's pupils widened in an instant, beyond his expectation, he was shocked.He stared at the letter paper, unable to move his eyes away for a long time, finally shook his head, and sighed in a deep voice: "Huiji will be hurt."

The candidate for the crown prince was determined, and the courtiers stood in line one after another.The seventh son of King Shou was ten years old. His father taught him well and was always dignified and restrained. He was quite similar to Prince Hong who died young, so he was sure to be favored by the emperor.The eldest son of the king of Xuancheng County is four years old, smart and cute, optimistic and optimistic. If he is not young, he should be on par with the seventh son of King Shou.

As for the "Wang Duan" who has not been weaned, everyone only regards her as a supplement, and no one pays attention to her.

The golden wu sank, and the queen came back.

Outside the hall, it was cold and windy and snowing all over the sky, and the queen entered the hall with a damp and cold atmosphere all over her body. Liandong helped her take off the fox fur and put on comfortable and loose regular clothes.

Going around the mica screen, I saw Luohan leaning crookedly on the bed and sleeping soundly. The nurse held a book in her hand and read to her.The nanny was not very literate, and she stumbled when she could even guess, and she couldn't speak Mandarin very well, with a Gusu accent.

The queen walked over, and the wet nurse hurriedly got up and saluted when she heard footsteps: "Your Highness."

The queen nodded slightly, and Tang Yu opened his eyes in a daze. After seeing the person clearly, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of joy of waiting: "Mother!"

Day by day, he became more and more attached to her, just like Hong'er back then.

The queen thought so, and answered her in a warm voice, sat beside her, and asked her: "Have you ever taken any medicine?"

Although it was a question, the queen's tone was very flat, there was no threat that adults used to threaten children, and she didn't even question her, she trusted her very much.

Tang Yu nodded: "Drink it."

The wet nurse smiled and added: "Not only did I drink it, but she is also much better-behaved than before, and there is no medicine residue left."

The wet nurse was telling the truth, but Tang Yu suddenly became flustered.Her original intention was to reassure the queen. After listening to the nanny's words, what if the queen doesn't feed her medicine in the future?

She likes the Queen and likes to be close to her. She can feel the Queen's kindness to her, even if it is very shallow, but she can feel it, and she is sure.

Thinking that she might not be fed in the future, Tang Yu was a little disappointed. She drooped the corners of her eyes, and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the queen's backs of hands flushed. It was cold outside. She must have been frozen after going out for so long.

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Good boy." She raised her hand to touch her fluffy head, but she retracted halfway, her palms were cold, so be careful not to catch her cold.

As a result, the child stretched out two small paws, grabbed her two hands and held them. The small paws were warm after being covered in the quilt for a long time, covering her palms like a small warm stove.

Tang Yu looked at her with sincere and eager eyes: "The queen mother...is cold...cover the heat."

The queen's eyes flickered with emotion, and then she withdrew her hand. The child's hand was too small to completely cover hers, so the fingertips were warm, but the rest was cold.And that bit of warmth is like a cluster of flames, the flames fly in the heart, which is extraordinarily warm.

Liandong handed over the stove at the right time, the queen took it, and asked her to retract her little hands under the bed again before saying to her: "You are good, the queen is not cold."

Lian Dong watched from the side, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help getting moist. This scene was extremely familiar, and it was the easiest to poke the Queen's heart.Since entering the palace, the queen has raised four children for the emperor, all of whom are adoptive children.

The first one, it’s funny to say, at that time the empress passed away not long ago, the emperor was heartbroken, and the appearance of dying was worrying, so he chose the son of the vassal prince who was at the age of a weak crown, who was about the same age as the empress.There is almost no distinction between young and old for such a big child, so he can't raise much affection.

The second child and the third child moved into Weiyang Palace together. Xu heard the rumors that the previous crown prince was poisoned and died, so he set up a lot of precautions against the queen, so naturally there was no mother-child relationship.

The fourth one is Prince Hong.When he first entered the palace, at the age of six years old, he was mature and silent, and Liandong mistakenly thought that he was also very defensive at first.Unexpectedly, he is a young gentleman who knows how to be considerate of others. He relies on the queen and loves and respects her. He does not allow others to say that the queen is not good.

Recalling the past in my mind, Lian Dong raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at the cute and well-behaved girl who was pillowed on the Queen's lap on the Arhat bed, thinking of her occasional warm and sensible behavior in the past few days, which often reminded the Queen of His Royal Highness Prince Hong , suddenly felt that her arrival might just be a suitable comfort.
