[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Today, the snow is clear and the sky is clear.

The palace people of the Xuanshi Palace carried out the flowers and trees bonsai stored in the warm cellar, and displayed them in the garden full of warm winter sun. People can't help but feel happy.

After putting down the last pot of rich peonies, Qing Dai straightened up, patted the dirt on her hands, and saw Chi and several other servants retreating out of the main hall in desperation.Qing Dai frowned, stepped forward quickly, and asked Chi Zai in a low voice: "Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet?"

Chi sighed again, nuzui gestured to the nanmu tray held by the waiter behind him: "It's a little better than the previous few days, after a few mouthfuls of food, he said he didn't have an appetite, so he quit." The delicious delicacies are almost intact.

The two of them walked out while talking, Chi Zai said: "I see, Your Majesty really doesn't have much appetite, he tasted every dish with chopsticks, and only took a few mouthfuls of the food." He paused, and then He looked worried, "It's the middle of winter, how can it be a scorching summer? You won't lose your appetite because of the severe cold. Yesterday, I ordered the master of the Shangshan Supervisor to get some seasonal pots to warm the stomach. I can't eat it."

Looking for a job in his position, the duty of a palace man is to take care of the master's diet and daily life wholeheartedly, and there must be accountability for any mistakes.Qing Dai became more worried when she heard this, and she thought to herself: "Seeing that New Year's Eve is approaching, who in the Manchu Dynasty would catch the New Year's Eve and offend Long Yan if they don't know how to do it?" Since when has His Majesty been so perplexed?"

The king's heart is like the sea, even though Chi Zai and Qing Dai have been serving the imperial court for many years, what they are familiar with is only the emperor's likes and dislikes on things and household items, others can't know deeply and dare not ask more.What made the two even more puzzled was that the emperor recently went to Weiyang Palace less often than before, and he enjoyed eating there very much, but once he came back, he returned to a state of sluggishness and energy. It really doesn't make sense.

Kui Ye, wake up from a dream, the blanket is cold and the pillow is cold.

The palace lanterns in the corner of the bedroom are very faint, and it is just a matter of sight.The palace lady who is the bedroom waits on the outside, and only when she hears the call from the inside will she go in.Tang Yu got up from the couch silently, and she walked barefoot on the wooden plank where the ground dragon was laid, and went straight to the window.

There is no need to identify which window it is, the Begonia forest encloses the bedroom, she stretches out her hand and softly opens the window, under the night sky like splashed ink, the fine snow like bead curtains falls one after another, all the begonia trees withered their flowers and leaves, Only the bare branches are left to be ravaged by the cold wind, and the more tender branches have been broken.

The night wind swept in, and half the windows creaked.The wind was so strong that it blew Tang Yu's long black hair like a waterfall into an invisible mess, and the black hair on the sideburns might slant and brushed her slightly pale cheeks, lingering on her eyes as deep as ancient wells.She didn't seem to be aware of the coldness, maybe the cold wind in ninety-nine days was not as good as she was deeply immersed in her body and mind, she just looked at the withered crabapple forest in front of her, and there was a sorrow that was difficult to surface in front of her eyes.

She remembered every sentence of the conversation between La Ri and the Empress Dowager in her heart, not only that, but also savored it carefully over and over again as if she didn't know the pain.Just rational?She has tacitly allowed her to marry a woman, but then told her to be reasonable, the meaning of which is indeed very clear.

A Niang must have guessed what she was thinking, maybe she had understood it a long time ago, but she pretended not to know because she couldn't solve it like herself.After being persuaded by the ministers, the censor was blamed, and she was about to die again, the harm of this matter was highlighted like red plums and white snow, so she had to take a long-term plan and tactfully warned her to stop such arrogance. Bad thoughts.

Thinking about it, Tang Yu's eyes soon became a little dazed, what is wrong with the world?To get to the bottom of it, the barrier that locked her inside, and the factor that made her dare not step out of the thunder pool, was her status as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.Therefore, although she and her only have the status of mother and daughter and have no blood relationship, from the perspective of the court and the public, it is also a violation of the ethics of the court, and should be reviled by people and condemned by heaven.

Since she ascended the throne, she has never been slack in government affairs, and she has always been good at admonitions. She has never aspired to shine in the annals of history. Most of the reasons for her devotion day after day are because she does not want to live up to the Queen Mother's dedication to her.She admits that she has worked hard for several years and has never been ashamed. Up to now, the only thing she wants to ask from the world is her sweetheart, but it is still hard to compare.

This so-called nine states and four seas, all kinds of people live in it with their own ghosts and thoughts, no matter how vast it is, there is only so much miserliness.

Even, she just wanted to be with A Niang quietly, for the rest of her life without being disturbed.Can it be done?She used to think that she would be able to do it, but the recent cold war between the monarchs and ministers in the court, and the accumulative case of remonstrance, is already the best evidence. What she can do and what she can't do is like a golden rule that never changes.

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and the snow shadows fell into her eyes one by one, endlessly.The world is safe and secure.She is not an ancient person who abides by etiquette. If you take away her lingering habitat, don't think about her as a well-behaved king. How is it different from a puppet?

Food and drink men and women, people's great desires exist, so why suppress them.

only……

Tang Yu stared fixedly at the withered crabapple tree in the courtyard, the firmness in her eyes was replaced by hesitation in an instant, her knuckle fingers clasped the window sill, and her thin lips slightly pursed.Standing in the cold wind for a long time, she lowered her eyes and finally sighed softly: "Mother..."

Everyone in the world can abandon without regret, but she is the only one who is unwilling to abandon, cannot bear to regret, and is also hard to part with.Because of this soft spot in her heart, she is doomed to do many things long ago. She will not be able to do the pre-determined killing and decisiveness, and she may even be strangled at the first sign.In everything, you have to take a step before you know if it can be done. After all, there is some hope left in her heart, at least... at least A Niang knows her heart, but she never treats her like a scourge and avoids her.

The bucket turned and turned horizontally, and the sun was approaching Maoshi.

Every morning, Tang Yu got up at this moment, and Qingdai led the palace servants who held washbasins and towels, crown clothes, large ribbons, jade pendants, and socks and cloud shoes into the room to help her wash and change clothes.

The water in the copper basin was clear and gentle, reflecting Tang Yu's shiny and fair face. She scooped up a handful of clear water to cleanse her face, and when she bent down slightly, she seemed to think of something, and her movements suddenly stopped. Rubbing his clothes, he touched the bottom of his neck.Seeing the strange color on her face, Qing Dai couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Your Majesty?"

The palace man handed over a hand towel, she took it and wiped off the water stains on her face, then frowned and said: "The mailing lock, my mailing lock is gone." She fumbled in the bag carefully, but found nothing, she turned around suddenly, looked around the furnishings, her pair of beautiful eyebrows were furrowed like a river.

The king is rich in the world, eats delicacies, wears brocades and satins, and wears beautiful jade. If ordinary things are lost, they may not be so nervous.The people in the palace looked at each other, only to be bewildered, and they knelt down in a rustle, all trembling like walking on thin ice, for fear that they would be accused of stealing and stealing.

Chi Zai and Qing Dai acted calmly, first recalled where Tang Yu had set foot and stayed yesterday, and then dispatched a few nimble palace servants to search these places and all corners of the Xuanshi Palace.Everyone waited patiently for a while, and the courtiers who searched for the Xuanshi Palace came to report one after another, but so far they found nothing.

The palace servants knelt in the palace to report their affairs. In the cold weather, he wiped his sweat frequently. He didn't know whether he was tired or shocked, and a small shadow was soaked on the sleeves of his green robe.All the palace officials who reported back one after another were like this, bowing their waists and bowing their heads, extremely vigilant.

Qing Dai seemed to lose confidence in her heart, looked at Tang Yu's expression of indiscernibility, and finally said cautiously: "The drum is about to sound, Your Majesty might as well put this matter aside for now, and I will definitely investigate it strictly."

The so-called strict investigation will inevitably lead to the pain of flesh and blood, and even the danger of life. The palace people were frightened when they heard the words, and their faces were as white as paper.

Tang Yan couldn't hide his regret on his face, but he smiled softly: "How can I steal what I wear with me? Maybe it's lost, and I'll send someone to look for it. It's a good time to say goodbye to the old year. Don't wantonly accuse the innocent." She said as she walked out, the black emperor's mianfu set off her slender back with brilliance, like waves, and she was completely different from the sluggish and sluggish her a few days ago .

Qingdai was shocked, happy and even worried, she subconsciously had a premonition that was not good, as if monsters and ghosts had endured humiliation and dormant for a long winter, and when they were warm and cold, they would definitely return in blood, causing disasters everywhere.

The door of the palace was slightly open. When Tang Yu came here, her footsteps paused for a while. She didn't turn around, but said with a gentle smile: "If you can't find it, then let it go. Anyway, I will reach Ji, and it's time to pull out the bag."

Because of this delay, Tang Yu did not go to the Weiyang Palace to greet the Queen Mother, but went straight to the Jinshen Palace.Even so, it was a little later than usual, and it was rare for her to not be punctual in the early court, and the princes in the court could not avoid interfering with doubts.Tang Yu then mentioned a few words about the loss of the registered lock, but he didn't seem to care much about it.

Even if the master is like this, the ministers are more concerned about it, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty already know that the emperor has lost the lock of the name, even if it is only a superficial impression, it is enough.

In the afternoon of that day, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites received a secret order from the Queen Mother to submit to the case the regulations on the establishment of a queen and intermarriage by contract during the reign of Emperor Sejong.Recently, the direction of the stroke is unstable and weird, although the queen mother's move is very interesting, but this doctor is deeply graciously appreciated by the queen mother, so he only does things according to the words, and does not presumptuously intervene.

The doctor resigned and left.There were two sets of laws and regulations on the case table, the Queen Mother first opened the one that registered the Empress, before she could take a closer look in the future, suddenly a servant staggered into the room, knelt down in front of her, with a high-pitched and thin voice, The urgent words pierced through her body like a sharp knife, plucking out a moment of great pain: "Your Highness——His Majesty fell off his horse on the school field of the Hall of Martial Arts!"
