Chang'an ancient meaning

After the forty sticks were beaten, Li Shouli fainted, Zhang Lin ordered someone to carry him back to his room, and ordered several county kings to return to their rooms.Li Longji returned to the room silently, and a court lady followed him into the Nuan Pavilion, holding a small bundle in her arms, looked around the room, knelt down a little awkwardly, and said, "Your Majesty is a thousand years old." The voice was because of humility And waxy soft, very gentle and pleasant to the ear.

Li Longji looked at her with his hands behind his back, and saw that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was combing her buns and wearing a blue skirt with a waist and narrow sleeves, outlining the figure of a young girl who had not yet grown up, without the charm of a modern beauty.Li Longji also understood in his heart that his aunt was afraid that they would be shut up in this deep courtyard with no time to do when they were young and full of vigor, so they sent young maids of honor to accompany them.He was grateful for Taiping's carefulness, but he saw that the maiden was still childish, and her appearance seemed normal. Thinking of the day and night, he would have to face this lowly woman who was suddenly thrust in by others, he felt very impatient, and frowned. : "Get up and talk."

The court lady stood up, her face was clean and delicate, without any makeup, and her two cherry lips were as warm and pink as peach blossoms.Because of the beauty of youth, although she doesn't have the graceful and plump beauty attitude of today, there is still a little heart-warming thing.

Li Longji casually asked: "What's your name?" The court lady said: "His Royal Highness, the slave is called Yuan Yuan." Li Longji said displeased: "Yuanyuan?"

The court lady pursed her lips and smiled, which surprised Li Longji. Her face brightened instantly in the dark Nuan Pavilion. She smiled and said, "The servant's surname is Yuan, and the aunt of Ye Ting took the name from 'Yuan You Zhi Xi Li You Lan'." The word 'Yuan'." Li Longji snorted, "Yuan has Zhi, Li has orchid, Mr. Si didn't dare to say it, why would she curse you for the rest of her life with this bad luck." Yuan Yuan was stunned, and said: "I don't know, if you I really can't ask for it, and it's just the fate of my servant."

After hearing her surname, Li Longji guessed that she might be the honorable daughter of the Yuan family in Henan, and like Shangguan Wan'er was convicted of a family crime and entered the Ye court, he asked, "Are your parents still there?" Yuan Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen my parents since I was a child." Li Longji stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said indifferently: "It's good, I have nothing to worry about."

Yuan Yuan only felt that his tone was slightly strange, she slightly raised her eyes and peeked, and saw Li Longji's white clothes and fair face were all in a gloomy state, she knew that the king of Linzi County was only one year older than herself, However, he felt that this young man standing in the midst of the sun, seemed to have gone through many trials and hardships, and his whole body was full of sorrowful autumn air.The pair of eyes she most wanted to see clearly were as deep as a cold pool and she could not see to the end. She had never been out of the palace since she was a child, and she often imagined what it would be like "the autumn wind is curling up, the Dongting is rippling under the leaves".Now she thinks that the Dongting water under the autumn wind should be the color in the eyes of the Prince of Linzi.

She said softly: "Your Highness, do you have any orders? This servant can do everything."

Li Longji turned around and said: "It's okay, just rest on your own, don't bother me." He picked up a book, turned around and sat on the mat, and was about to read it, when suddenly he heard a few clatters outside the door, It was the sound of the courtyard door being locked.The cold sound made him tremble slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the writing on the book, in the dim light, it was as if his eyes were full of tadpoles, and he couldn't read a single word.Seeing him reading, Yuan Yuan hurriedly said: "It's dark in the room, my servant will light up the lamp and your Highness will have a look." She hurriedly put the burden on a small couch outside the bamboo curtain, and went to light the lamp, the bright light suddenly flickered, and Li Longji was so irritable that he leaned back, lay down and covered his face with the book.

Yuan Yuan suddenly annoyed him if he was not on guard, and he couldn't help but froze on the spot, so he had to walk over to turn off the lights, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, go to bed, it's cold on the ground." Li Longji frowned and said: "What I said , didn't you hear?" Yuan Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly again, he didn't dare to say anything more, he walked silently to Nuange, put away the few clothes in his own bag, hugged a set of quilts on the couch, and spread them on the bed. The ground under the bamboo curtain.

Hearing her rustling and busy work, Li Longji couldn't help turning his head slightly to look at it. Dimly, he saw Yuan Yuan hugging a quilt, with his slender waist leaning back slightly, which further accentuated his slender figure.He suddenly thought of a line of poetry, embraced the quilt and shoulders, and sighed silently in the dark.

Xue Chongjian came back from the racetrack, and saw only Taiping sitting on the cattail mat with his knees hugged, leaning against the table, carelessly playing with a string of coral incense beads in his soft hands, the red and white contrasted very eye-catching.Xue Chongjian looked around and said: "Mum, cousin went out?" Taiping came back to his senses and said: "Yes." Xue Chongjian was even more surprised: "Where did you go?"

With a glance at the picture on the small seat beside the bed, he felt that there was something strange about the picture on the screen. He let out a "huh" and walked over to check. It turned out that the "Spring Outing Picture" painted by him and Li Chengqi had been pasted up. The landscape in the picture was scrawled with a pen. The trees and pavilions are sparse, and there is no one on the large green grass, which is more empty and quiet.He suddenly saw two squirrels squatting under a willow tree. They had hairball-like bodies and tails, and their two small heads were put together. Although they only had small eyes, their expression was very lively and cute, which made people unable to help. I want to reach in and rub my tail.

Xue Chongjian was amused and said, "He's so lazy, if he doesn't want to paint, he uses this to prevaricate me! I'll catch him!"

Taiping stared at his son for a moment, sighed softly, put the string of beads back on his wrist, and said: "Huanu, come here." Xue Chongjian returned to his mother and sat down, wondering: "Mum, what's wrong with you? "Taiping put his arms around his son's shoulders and said: "You sit comfortably, and you are not allowed to interrupt or stand up until the mother has finished speaking."

Taiping said softly: "Feng Nu is not coming back, he wants to live with his younger brothers." Xue Chongjian really couldn't hold back, he stood up, and said annoyedly: "He is going to move back to the palace, why don't you follow me?" Just say a word, and leave on your own!" Taiping pressed him back with force, and said, "Let you listen to what I said." Xue Chongjian had no choice but to sit down again and said, "Why did he move back all of a sudden?" Taiping sighed: "He didn't go back to the palace. It was the Zhai family who ordered them to re-enter the cabinet and live in the same courtyard with your second uncle's son. The decree was made yesterday. It was Feng Nu who was afraid that you would cause trouble, so I begged me to delay it for a while." day."

Xue Chongjian thought carefully about the meaning of his mother's words, and he knew about the decree from the house to re-enter the cabinet yesterday, and he would delay it for another day... There are many messy thoughts in his mind, but the hazy words that were half drunk yesterday gradually became clear, Li Chengqi sighed Said that the painting of the shoji was endless, Li Chengqi promised him to go to Chang'an together, Li Chengqi said that the moon is the best now, and it turned out that his mother and cousin were lying to him.

His lips trembled a few times, and his hands and feet gradually felt cold and numb.Different from the pure fear of Li Chengqi being sent to the judge's court last time, this time the expectations and disappointments were thorough, and the succession was too close. The smiling moon in the dream was just his wishful thinking.He tried his best to break free from his mother's restraint, stood up and walked to the door.

Taiping sternly shouted: "Stand! Don't go!" Xue Chongjian's eyes were slightly red, his tone was calm, and he sneered slightly: "Your messenger bound me." Taiping asked: "Do you know where he is?" Xue Chongjian He sneered and said, "If you don't tell me, I can look for it myself. I'll go ask Aunt Shangguan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Granny, or I'll go find the Magistrate again!"

Taiping was furious, stood up and shouted: "The bravery of a man! If An Jinzang hadn't sacrificed his life to be the savior this time, do you think you can save the emperor's heir and Fengnu with your flesh and blood and my tongue? Do you know that the Supreme Being is What crime is it to kill Yuan Qing, Fan Yunxian and the others! It’s a private visit to the emperor’s heir! Feng Nu is confined in the house, and they don’t want them to have contact with foreign ministers. If you want to kill me and Feng Nu, go find him!”

Xue Chongjian turned around suddenly, lowered her voice and said, "Mother, is something wrong again?"

Seeing that his son wasn't acting out of his will, Taiping felt a little sore in his heart, stepped forward and held his hand and said softly, "Lai Junchen secretly ordered some censors to correct me." Xue Chongjian said in surprise, "How dare he!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I should have killed him last time!" Taiping sneered and said, "Lai Junchen is even worse than a dog. It is worth your life for him? The Zhai family pardoned the fourth brother and Feng Nu this time, and rewarded him An Jinzang is already dissatisfied with him. He even dared to move me, but it was just a dog jumping over a wall and a trapped beast. The more he moves, the more he is in a mess."

Xue Chongjian hesitated and said: "Could it be King Wei and the others..." Taiping pursed his lips into a smile, and said, "Wu You's cum is in my hand, and I'll take their Wu's cum and move their whole body. It's not good for them. This Once Junchen didn't get a confession from Feng Nu, and he lost his favor, Wu Chengsi would not protect him again. Just wait a few days, I have something to do, if it happens, you go It’s okay to look at Feng Nu.”

Xue Chongjian grew up so big, it was the first time that his mother discussed with him the treacherous turmoil in the imperial court, he watched the golden threads as thin as insect whiskers on his mother's bun, and the yellow forehead on her eyebrows was also unmoved. The general golden light is shining, and for some reason, there is faint tension in the face of the emperor.His palms were sweating, and he said, "Aunt, what can I do for you?" Taiping looked at him gently, and said with a smile, "If you really want to help me, go home, kowtow to Wu You and Haosheng, and accompany you No, go and ask Grandma to confess your mistake."

Xue Chongjian understood that if his mother wanted to fall this time, she still had to rely on Wu's power, so she had to win over Wu Youji first.He nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Mum, you just tell me, is my cousin safe? Why... are you locked up with the second uncle's son?" He remembered that day when the emperor looked at Li Chengqi coldly and decisively. The phoenix eyes still couldn't help shivering.

Taiping sighed softly: "Although Zhai's family spared him, they are still angry after all. Don't worry too much, I will take care of them." Xue Chongjian helped his mother back to the couch and sat down, he looked at the painting screen The two little squirrels, remembering their childhood jokes, suddenly felt piercing pain in their eyes. The grass on Chang'an Road was luxuriant, and the world of mortals and purple moors were getting dressed, but they couldn't wait for the king and grandson who came to visit.

Li Chengqi went back to his room and stood by the window until sunset, but he still didn't see anyone entering Li Shouli's room.He couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, pondered for a moment, turned around and asked the maid A Luo: "Where is the medicine from my aunt?" A Luo hurriedly opened the cabinet and asked, "Your Highness is not feeling well?" He took out the unused bottle of sore medicine, found a gold belt from the suitcase, folded the golden lock and hid it behind his arm, opened the door and entered the courtyard, and said to the guard Jin Wu: "I want to see Mr. Zhang. "

Not long after, Zhang Lin entered the courtyard with a look of boredom and said, "What's the matter, Your Highness? Are you urging dinner?" Li Chengqi hid the gold belt in his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin felt heavy and cold when he touched his hands. At a glance, he saw a corner of Jin Liang, and he knew it in his heart. He stretched out his hand and said, "What is your Highness's order? Don't make it difficult for me." Li Chengqi said: "The guard staff is seriously injured, and it is for me to take the blame. I want to send him this bottle of medicine." Zhang Lin's eyes were slightly surprised, he looked at Li Chengqi, then looked at the porcelain bottle he was holding tightly in his hand, and suddenly laughed: "Your Highness is really planning ahead, even the medicine is prepared Alright." Li Chengqi blushed and bowed his head in silence.Zhang Lin laughed and said: "Your Highness didn't tell me, and they didn't see anything, you go in and out quickly, if you let the Zhai family know, both of you will be punished." Li Chengqi hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord."

Zhang Lin came out of the hospital, weighed the gold belt in his hands, and said with a sneer in his heart: "With such a litter of grandchildren, we know that the Li family is exhausted."

Li Chengqi gently pushed open the door of Li Shouli's room, a damp, cold and sour smell came in from the room, and several furnishings and utensils were dilapidated and outdated. Compared with his place, his place was already a luxurious house, so he realized that it was also under confinement , but there is also a difference between heaven and earth.Seeing Li Shouli laying on the wooden couch in a dazed state with blood scabs all over his lips, he went to pour a glass of water first, but the water bottle was also cold to the touch.He wanted to go to his room to get a bottle of hot water, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to get in after going out, so he hesitated for a moment, so he had to come to the couch with the glass of cold water in his hand, and called him softly: "Second brother."

Li Shouli was asleep at first, but when he called him, he opened his eyes in a daze, his lips trembled sharply, but he couldn't speak. Li Chengqi brought the cup to his lips, and he took a look at Li Chengqi, before he gulped down like rain After drinking it, he gasped for a moment and said, "What are you doing here?" Li Chengqi said, "I'll bring you some medicine." Li Shouli shook his head weakly and said, "Go out quickly, if they notice..." Li Chengqi said, "I'll give you some medicine." I begged the uncle, and he promised me to come in."

Li Shouli was stunned, and asked softly, "Are you called Feng Nu?" Li Chengqi nodded, and a smile suddenly flashed across Li Shouli's pale and green face, and said, "I have seen you before, when the emperor passed the decree, It is said that the eldest son of the fourth uncle is one year old, and asked Dad to take us to Luoyang for a family banquet. We came back a few days, and Dad had an accident." Li Chengqi heard him talking about the old things, and he felt faint heart palpitations, and said in a low voice: "I don't know. I know, Second Uncle came back to Luoyang for this." Li Shouli suddenly saw his linen sleeves hanging beside his pillow, and his expression changed drastically: "Why are you dressed like this? Is it Fourth Uncle..." Li Chengqi hurriedly shook his head tearfully: "It's my mother." He said again: "My father is now in the East Palace, it's okay for the Supreme to treat him well."

Li Shouli breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his face wearily.Li Chengqi came behind him and said: "I'll give you some medicine, you bear with it." Li Shouli nodded and said: "The pain is a bit numb now, it's not too hard to bear." Li Chengqi took off his shirt first, Seeing several brown scars protruding from his back, he was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took off a pair of his blood-soaked trousers. Seeing that his buttocks were bloody and bloody, he couldn't help feeling dizzy, and said in a trembling voice: "This , Didn’t the doctor come?”

Li Shouli was panting heavily and trembling, and it took him a long time to speak: "Yes... But every time the house is punished, a medical officer will be sent the next day." Li Chengqi felt sore and unbearable, wondering how much the emperor had towards his second uncle. Deep resentment that he has been dead for so many years and still tortured his son so much.He resisted the convulsions in his lungs caused by the bloody smell, first fetched water to scrub Li Shouli's wounds, and then applied the medicine.Li Shouli looked back at Li Chengqi's slightly clumsy busy work, suddenly smiled weakly, and said: "I remember that time when my fourth uncle hugged you and told my elder brother and me that he would let him study and ride horses with you in the future. My sister Changxin wants to hug you , and didn’t dare to say it, so I kept walking around my aunt. You suddenly smiled at her, and she clapped her hands and laughed happily. Her little face was like a peach blossom in this season... So you have grown so big gone."

Li Chengqi was at a loss and couldn't remember the old things he said. Li Xian's only daughter, the county master Changxin, was hastily married to a governor by the emperor. It is said that she died of illness a few years ago, but she was a little luckier than her three brothers.He was suddenly ashamed that he had never been able to do anything for his cousins ​​in these years.Seeing his embarrassment, Li Shouli laughed at himself and said, "It's the first time I saw you, I just talked so much nonsense. I haven't talked to anyone like this in a few years. Sometimes the room is scary, so I just tell myself, thinking about my parents The eldest brother and the third younger brother are still around, just follow them..." He paused, stunned for a moment and said: "You go quickly—don't come again!"

When Li Chengqi walked out of Li Shouli's room, it was already dusk outside, and there was a very faint sweet and astringent fragrance of green grass in the spring day.Only now did he discover that there was a big willow tree growing outside the east wall of the courtyard, with ten thousand soft silk covering a round of cold and bright cold moon, it was as if all other things in the world had disappeared.The bright moon is bright and the willows are Yiyi. He suddenly realized how deep affection is contained in the word "Yiyi" in the ancients.He stared at the moon in a daze for a long time, until the servant came to urge him, and then he realized that the moment of raising his head to look at the moon and thinking about it no longer belonged to him.No matter how perfect the moon is, it is no longer the one he watched with Hua Nu yesterday, but the bright moon tonight is for which pair of Ying, couple and swallows rise to the top.

The author has something to say: This chapter is boring, I'm sorry for the judges, but it's just to point out two soy sauces, a woman who is very important to the crow slave, and a tree that is very important to the flower slave.
