[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

The increasingly dense haze accumulated in her heart was easily dispelled, Tang Yu didn't answer, she quickly lowered her head again, tightly twisting the corners of her clothes with sweaty hands, she didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation surprise.

Nine days, nine days in a row, since the last time the Empress Dowager came to visit and personally applied medicine to her, nine full days have passed.During these nine days, the Empress Dowager has not come here. She not only lives like a year, but also frequently speculates on what the Empress Dowager thinks, and all of them think about the worst situation. situation.

Most likely, she was an orphan in her previous life and was used to being abandoned, so she developed a disposition of never giving herself too much thought about everything, so that when unexpected changes happen in the future, she can retreat completely without being bruised all over her body.Therefore, she originally thought that A Niang must be very disappointed in her, and she made up her mind not to get along with her as before. After all, her biological parents in the previous life could be ruthless when she was healthy and healthy. Abandon her.

What's more, she actually had such intolerant thoughts towards A Niang.

The ribbon of the jade lock gently rubbed the snow-white skin of the jade neck, and the person wearing the jade lock behind him was always gentle, and even her cold and light fragrance was very familiar, lingering in Tang Yu's nose.Soon, a light smile appeared on the corner of her lips, her heart was no longer heavy, but her voice was still nasal: "Aniang, if you don't come, I will forget that today is my birthday. "

The wine jar that was put on the couch by the Queen Mother just now is the Taoyedu that Tang Yu snatched from the King of Chu about a year ago. She presented it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered it to be stored.

It should be a big ceremony for women and Ji, and a banquet and salute are required to be comprehensive.In recent years, the customs of the Jin Dynasty have changed, and the ceremonies of Jiji and coronation are no longer as grand as before. In addition, Tang Yu was injured when he fell from a horse, and his injuries have not recovered. Clan relatives and ministers of civil and military issues gifts according to other regulations.

Although the former and later courts did not hold banquets, the birthday gifts of all the people were presented one by one. This morning, Chi Zai and Tang Yu read a list of gifts, and each birthday gift was priceless.For this matter, she didn't pretend to be arrogant, and kept everything in her pocket. In the future, when the country is in trouble and the country is in danger, even if the treasury is empty, she will sell the things in her private treasury, which will always come in handy.

She had read the gift list, but she didn't take it to heart, thinking hard about other things, so she really forgot that today is the Longevity Day.

In a moment, the jade lock was fastened.

Tang Yu is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and there are many flatterers who serve the imperial court. He will not be the only one who remembers her birthday.The queen mother couldn't hold back her joy when she heard her tone, and a soft spot in her heart was poked. The queen mother caressed the ribbon of the jade lock casually, smiled at her and said, "I have forgotten my birthday, but I can still remember it." Where do you live?"

The empress dowager's slightly warm fingertips lightly touched Tang Yu's skin through the ribbon, causing her to tremble slightly. After she calmed down a little, she said earnestly: "I can remember you, just like when I was a child—I used to I have said that my heart is very small, so small that I can only live in you. Although it is small, because there is only you, it is not crowded, comfortable and warm. "

Now that things are going on, even though she is so reckless and bold, she seems to have the courage to do it as a last resort and to break the boat. She speaks in a leisurely manner, without any anxiety.Tang Xi let go of the fingers that were twisting the corners of her clothes, and calmly put her hands on her knees. Her eyes were clear and firm, and there was a little bit of stubborn persistence and encouragement for herself in her eyes.

There was no sound and no breath, and the surroundings were so quiet that the wind could be heard.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager rearranged her coat and coat that had slipped down to her shoulders, and asked her to put on a cloak, but she herself lifted the wine jar, turned around and said, "Just now I have ordered the banquet, let's go into the palace first."

After all, she walked forward, Tang Yu looked at her back in a daze for a moment, and then realized after a while——Although A Niang didn't respond, she obviously didn't hate her, and she didn't even reject her. Skin to skin.This is enough, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, especially A Niang is different from her, she is an ancient person through and through, and has been influenced by poetry, books and etiquette, and a gradual plan is a long-term solution.

As expected, a food table was set up in the main hall, and when the two of them were seated, the food table was passed on one after another by the catering servants, coming and going.

After Taoyedu was stored in the wine cellar, the aroma of the wine became more and more intense. When the mud was lifted, the wine was clear and free of impurities in the aroma of the wine.Poured a full wine cup, heated it on a wine warmer, and poured two more glasses of wine. Tang Yu presented half of the wine to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Although warm wine warms the stomach in winter, you are not good at drinking it." , let’s drink less.”

Being able to see the Empress Dowager on her birthday, she was satisfied, and she gradually gained hope and confidence in her heart. At this moment, she can be said to be full of spring breeze, and the previous depression disappeared in an instant.

The Queen Mother reached out, exchanged the two wine glasses, and said with a smile: "No matter how poor your drinking capacity is, you can always drink up a glass of wine. It is you, whose injury is not healed, only half a glass."

Auntie is concerned about me.Tang Yu's eyes curved into crescents with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you."

The current situation is that the Empress Dowager knows her intentions, but she doesn't know the Empress Dowager's intentions, so she can't be sure if she asks, she can only speculate from her words and deeds.The Empress Dowager obviously never hated her, but she didn't dare to rely on it to "get an inch", so she stuck to the etiquette and treated the Empress Dowager with more respect than before, and she really didn't even touch her with a finger.

Even though she was so reserved, she still showed her face sincerely during the banquet, and she was happy.

The queen mother saw it in her eyes, even if she wanted to reprimand her for deliberately falling off the horse as nonsense, how could she be obedient?But the heart has already softened into a trickle, and when he opened his mouth again, he whispered softly: "I have been recuperating in the palace recently, maybe I am bored? During the spring banquet, you can go out for a walk and enjoy the flowers." The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. At that time, the ice melts and the snow passes away. At that time, famous officials, handsome men, noble ladies and beauties will ride on horses and go out to enjoy the feast of exploring spring. The imperial court will also allow time off to take a bath.

Tang Yu nodded and asked again: "Are you going with me?"

Over the past year, the Empress Dowager has developed a habit of reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha at night, intending to be quiet and secluded, and she is not allowed to bother her after nightfall. If she goes out to a banquet, she will not be as comfortable as at home.Sure enough, the Empress Dowager shook her head: "It's very noisy, so I won't go, you can just enjoy yourself with your cousins."

"If you don't go, why should I go?" Tang Yan pouted and said unwillingly, "Cousins, cousins, I don't know them well. Spring banquet, they just go, I stay Come down with you."

She had been obedient and clingy to herself since she was a child, but now it seems that she is helpless and worried.The Empress Dowager finished her glass of wine, looked at her and said: "You have never been absent from the Spring Banquet in previous years. If you don't go this year, the emperors will be suspicious."

The royal family is different from the courtiers. Even if they are powerless and powerless, they occupy the name of so-called orthodox just because they have the blood of the royal family.But if they don't rebel for a day, they need to show benevolence and righteousness one day to win people's hearts, so that the history of Qianqiu will not add a comment of tyranny, violence and inhumanity.

Besides, this year is really special, as long as the Qin Tianjian observes the sky, chooses an auspicious day, and completes the pro-government ceremony, Tang Yu will be able to truly monopolize the power and be honored as the ninth five.

The road ahead is long and full of thorns, and only with authority can one be strong enough not to fall into a passive situation. Even if it is just for the two of them, the throne needs to be firmly secured, not to mention that she has never left the world behind. regardless of.

After thinking about it like this, Tang Yan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go to the banquet and bring you some pastries from various private chefs."

Even if she said a few words, she never left her. Regardless of her status, no matter when, even if she had been neglected by him for a few days, she always missed her.The Queen Mother's heart was touched again. She wanted to say "my son is filial, and my heart is very comforting", so as to extinguish her delusions and hit her confidence again. She lowered her eyes, avoiding Tang Yu's sincere and eager gaze, Pick up the glass and drink it down.

In fact, she might not be a soft-hearted person.

After that, the two chatted for a while, the Queen Mother unknowingly drank a small cup of wine, her eyes were erratic, faintly drunk.Seeing that she wanted to drink again, Tang Yu hurriedly dissuaded her: "Mother, don't drink anymore. Although this wine is not intoxicating, you are hard to overcome."

The empress dowager's white and clean hand touched the wine cup. In order to dissuade him in time, Tang Yu subconsciously put his hand on it again. In the blink of an eye, she broke the skin-to-skin dating ring she had set for herself.There are many things in the world, you can always bear it before you do it, and you don't want to stop once you do it.

Tang Yu was startled. After she calmed down, she clenched the Queen Mother's hand even more. It was clearly the soft and warm touch that she had been familiar with for more than ten years. The experience made her heart beat violently for no reason, her pulse trembled violently, and even her throat was as thirsty as a dick.

She looked at the Empress Dowager, and there seemed to be a ball of blood burning in her eyes, as if she wanted to suck everything in front of her eyes into these bright eyes, even if she was buried in the sea of ​​fire and returned to her deathbed, it would be a blessing in life.

The queen mother was indeed half drunk, and the strength in her hand relaxed a little, allowing Tang Yu to hold it firmly in her hand.The wine cup immediately slid down from the desk, and the porcelain shattered and shattered with a crisp sound, which awakened the two of them from a dream that they did not know whether they were intoxicated or self-intoxicated.

The servants outside heard the sound and came in. Amidst the rustling footsteps, the Empress Dowager managed to pull her hand out with great strength. She only straightened her skirt a little, and then sat upright, poised and composed.

The atmosphere in the palace was rather strange, the palace servants didn't know why, so they packed up the broken porcelain, cleaned up the wine stains, and left.

So in this palace, they are the only ones left.

Greed and lust often corrupt and swallow people of sound mind. Thinking of his gaffe just now and the queen mother letting go first, Tang Xi took a deep breath, looked at the queen mother, and said slowly: "Mother, I said, I will listen to you." Your words. My heart, you can know it, I never extravagantly ask you to respond, if you don’t allow it, I will never violate the etiquette, but you can rest assured.”

Although she had a straight back, her words were so humble that the Queen Mother was heartbroken. What she had learned in her life was put into the word "love", but she was helpless, and she couldn't even say a word of comfort—even if she comforted her, she could not say anything. It didn't help, and the matter really became a dilemma.

Tang Yu smiled miserably, and the whole person fell into a lonely atmosphere. She begged in a low voice: "There is only one wish, and I hope you will grant it. The emperor's servant, I will never accept it—even if you want me to accept Wei Rong or It is other men and women who serve as servants to relieve the current difficult situation, and I resolutely refuse to obey."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slightly, her every word was like a sharp long needle, piercing her heart fiercely, gradually being riddled with holes.

I heard her murmuring like a dream——

"Auntie."

"Even if you can't, dare not, or even don't want to, I will always belong to you alone."

The author has something to say:

I've been really busy and tired recently, and I fell asleep right away when I went back to the dormitory, so I didn't have time to reply to everyone's comments.Regarding the emperor's way of dealing with feelings, my setting here is not simple and crude, "Even if you are my adoptive mother, if I love you, I will hug you and kiss you and throw you down." She likes the Queen Mother, but she knows that This kind of liking is difficult to expose to others, plus she doesn't know what the queen mother thinks, and she was an orphan in her previous life, so it is difficult for her to resolutely risk the world for her own selfishness, and she will fall into many conflicts in the psychology.Of course, these are temporary, otherwise how he.

The current progress is the beginning of the third volume, and the full text consists of four volumes.
