[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Xing Xiuyan really never thought about keeping a pet.In her previous life, she was busy with work and didn't have the energy to spend on pets. After more than three years of writing career, after she fell in love, she was always up early and late at night, and the sky was dark, and she didn't have this kind of thought.

But it doesn't mean she doesn't like cute pets, she caressed the little white rabbit, and suddenly said to Tu Yuanyi beside her, "Did you kill his parents?"

Tu Yuanyi laughed, and said: "It seems that my concubine also eats rabbit meat."

Xing Xiuyan ignored him, and hurriedly asked Zhao Quan to find some carrots and vegetables.But Tu Yuanyi said that he was not busy playing with rabbits, and took her out of the tent to watch the stars.

It was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the land of Qin/Chuan, the night was already very cold, so I put on a cloak for her, and walked out of the emperor's tent with her little hands.

He took her to a bonfire, and the two sat down next to each other on a wooden pier. Tu Wuyi asked, "Can you see Altair and Vega?"

Xing Xiuyan pointed to the sky and said, "There are two over there."

Tu Yuanyi sighed, "I wanted to show you the lanterns on Qixi Festival this year, but the banquet in the palace has been busy all day."

Xing Xiuyan's face flushed slightly, Tu Yuanyi took out a sympathetic knot and said, "You gave it to me last year, and I have kept it. I thought you would give it to me this year, but you don't remember it."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Sages don't lack clothes, and I'm not good at beating them."

Tu Yuanyi said: "You are good at needlework, how can you not do this?"

Xing Xiuyan said angrily: "Except for the dragon robe, I made all your robes, so how can you be greedy?"

She has a job too, doesn't she?But he is becoming more and more greedy, except for the dragon robe, he only wears the robes made by her.On the one hand, I feel sorry for her hard work, and on the other hand, I have various dislikes for other clothes.

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said, "The lady should have been dressed by Zhang Luo."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Where did you learn these words?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said: "Your brother-in-law accidentally soiled his robe while hunting, and he was so heartbroken that he murmured how sorry he was."

Xing Xiu let out a chuckle and said, "What a cute nerd."

It turned out that the nerd called Su Fuer's wife instead of his wife, wife, and grandmother, which surprised Tu Yuanyi.

Tu Yuanyi said: "Don't you like sour scholars? Why do you think he is good again?" Of the three options given by Tu Yuanyi, the other two men are naturally noble, and they will all be above the third rank in the future, but she chose Tu Yuanyi was surprised to just pick a first assistant to be her sister's husband.

Xing Xiuyan cut out: "Can you compete with your brother-in-law if you are sour? My brother-in-law comes from a poor family, but he won the exam at a young age. He is said to be a nerd, but he is actually smarter than everyone else."

Tu Yuanyi said: "If I go to the scientific examination, I can pass it."

"You take the test and show me."

Tu Yuanyi finally saw through her taste. This woman's taste is extremely unreasonable. She just likes the kind of man who comes from a poor background but can make a living without relying on his father.It was the same when he fell in love with Zhao Jiahuan back then, and it was the same when he picked a husband for Su Fuer, but Zhao Jiahuan was pretending.

Tu Yuanyi realized that he was not her taste, and couldn't help being slightly annoyed, he pulled him into his arms to scratch her itch, Xing Xiu smoked a cigarette and had to beg for mercy.Only when Tu Yuanyi held her in his arms, did he have the joy of smiling and embracing the beauty of the country.

Suddenly hearing that Li Dequan came to report that it was the eldest prince asking to see him, Tu Yuanyi felt a little surprised, let go of the beautiful woman, and let someone come over.

After a while, Tu Hui came to pay a visit, and knelt down on the ground: "My son, please see Father, Imperial Concubine and Empress!"

Tu Yuanyi ordered him to flatten his body and asked, "Why don't you rest after a long day's journey?"

Although Tu Hui, as the prince, also had a car, but Tu Yuanyi saw that he was very resolute. He rode a horse for a day, unlike the second prince who couldn't bear it after only a while. He still liked it a little bit in his heart.

Tu Hui said: "Your minister has the honor of Mufu Huanglong, so he can accompany you to drive north hunting, but he dare not slack off on his homework. My husband is not around, so I have the courage to ask my father to take a look for my son."

Tu Yuanyi heard that he was still doing his homework. He was very surprised and asked Li Dequan to fetch the paper in his hand. He stood at the bonfire and looked at it. The first piece of paper was neatly written in large characters, and on it were articles from "Zuo Zhuan".

Tu Yuanyi nodded after reading it, and said warmly: "Since you have been tired all day, let's take a rest earlier, we still have to hurry tomorrow."

Tu Hui took a peek at Xing Xiuyan, she sat by the side, she just regarded herself as an outsider, and didn't look at him too much, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Tu Hui said: "I would like to thank my father for your concern. My father... and the imperial concubine also went to bed earlier. My son will leave."

When Tu Hui left, Xing Xiuyan didn't take it seriously, but because Tu Yuanyi was his eldest son and the son of Empress Yang, she might feel at ease.

Tu Yuanyi said: "I brought the eldest prince and the second prince to go hunting together, just want them to experience more and gain some insight into the greatness of this world, and I just hope they don't become the drunks in the inner circle. I didn't go deeper. "

Xing Xiuyan said lightly: "As a parent, you have far-reaching plans for your children, so you should."

Tu Yuanyi suffered from "fear of internal affairs", but it was difficult to show it on the surface, he just said: "Hurry up tomorrow, let's pay the debt too."

When Tu Hui returned to the tent, he saw that the second prince, Tu Xian, hadn't rested yet. When he saw him coming back, he curled his lips and said, "Yo, brother, are you back after flattering your father?"

Tu Hui said: "Who is flattering?"

Tu Xian laughed and said: "Not to flatter, why did you go there? By the way, there are only women in the father's place, and the emperor's brother is going to see a woman?"

In Tu Yuanyi's previous life, Tu Xian was a drunkard. His face was pure, but the flirtatiousness in his bones remained unchanged. Although he was only 11 years old, he was already thinking about women.But Tu Yuanyi raised the prince very strictly. Before the prince became an adult, he would never have a maid by his side, and if any court lady climbed into the bed, she would be shot with a stick.

Tu Hui said: "Being dizzy and calm, it's what a son of man should do."

But Tu Xian said: "Just pretend, I don't believe that you don't feel tempted. The one next to the imperial concubine named Qingxuan is really pretty. But, so many women belong to the emperor..."

Tu Hui was disgusted, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could the father...Second brother, we are all grown up, so it's okay to be ignorant when we were young."

Tu Xian said: "If you don't educate me seriously, I don't know who has seduced several court ladies."

Tu Hui was so angry that he couldn't speak, he just felt that one more sentence would be a waste, but he heard Tu Xian murmur: "Father is so stunning to the imperial concubine every day, but I can't even use a court lady. If I can A stunning beauty like a noble concubine who slept all night..."

Tu Hui suddenly jumped up and hit Tu Xian on the face, Tu Xian was in pain and said, "Tu Hui, why are you crazy?"

Tu Hui was very angry and scolded: "What are you talking about? Are you going to die?"

Tu Xian said, "There's no one else here, so why are you pretending?"

Although Tu Hui and Tu Xian are the sons of the queen and the other is raised under the knees of Concubine Wu Hui, they grew up together and went to school and played together. To Tu Hui, he didn't pretend.What's more, father and emperor have paid more attention to Tu Hui since he was born, and Tu Xian also knew that his biological mother was only a former concubine of the palace, so he had to compare with Tu Hui, the eldest son. He hasn't thought of seizing the heir apparent yet, at most it's just a teenager's jealousy, thinking that Tu Hui will flatter him.

Tu Hui grabbed Tu Xian's lapel and warned: "If you talk such nonsense in the future, if you think about it, I will hit you once!"

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Tuxian also said viciously: "How dare you! Don't think that the father is partial, and I will be afraid of you!"

Tu Hui said: "If the emperor knows what you said, how many brains do you have?"

Tu Xian was stunned and speechless, but Tu Hui went out of the tent to be served by the little eunuch for a simple wash.

When Tu Hui fell asleep by himself, he was also full of emotions. He scolded Tu Xian for having several heads, but he himself had several heads.

But when he thinks about her, it hurts his heart and lungs. She is obviously the woman the queen mother hates the most, and the emperor father loves the most. Whether it is for filial piety to the emperor father or the queen mother, he can't think of her, but he can't control the thoughts in his mind. It's all her shadow.

From hating and fearing her to being frivolous, but after thinking about it for a long time, it was carved into his bones.Being young and thin is just a common mistake of adolescent boys, and it is human nature to be young.

And since he was a child, he was also educated by propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and the kings, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth are the norms, but he just has this kind of sentiment.How did he know that she was so dangerous in the first place? If he hated her for a long time, he was afraid that her taste would change after a long time.

Now he loves and hates, fears and respects her, but she never looks at him, and it's hard to even have the slightest contempt.In her heart, only her father was in her eyes, and he only felt sadness coming from it, why did he have to be in such a painful position.

Tu Hui also respects and loves Tu Yuanyi. Since he was a child, he has wanted his attention and love, and he also has a deep sense of guilt, but the passionate emotions of young people cannot be erased by guilt.The young man knows the taste of love for the first time, and he is willing to do all stupid things for one person. The most tragic thing is that he can't even do stupid things.

……

Yu Jia went all the way and arrived at Shuofang after ten days.

Thirty miles outside the city of Shuofang, the official road was crowded with people, except Shuofang Jiedu envoy and Xining County King Jin Shichao and his generals standing in the center of the official road.As for the civil servants, there are governors of Ning Ning, governors, and officials at all levels below the prefect of Shuofang. They are also well-dressed and look forward to it.

Jin Shichao, the king of Xining County, also took over the position of the old county king after Tu Yuanyi ascended the throne. He is the grandson of the first generation of Xining County King.As early as an hour ago, the sun had just risen, and the eunuch of Xichang had come to report that the holy chariot was coming, and the officials were waiting here at that time.In fact, they all got up in the middle of the night.

With the sound of horseshoes and the bright yellow embroidered dragon banners fluttering, the holy car finally arrived.

Running at the forefront were 500 young guards in Jinyi, all of them burly, wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists.

One of the conductors in Jinyiwei sang loudly: "Your driver is here!"

The civil and military officials, including the king of Xining County, hurriedly adjusted their robes, knelt down to pay respects, and shouted in their mouths: "I welcome you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The Jinyi guards who were the first to clear the way retreated to the sides in two rows, and it took a long time before they saw the emperor's guard of honor in front.

The sound of rites and music came, and in front of them dragon banners, phoenix curtains, and pheasant feather palace fans lined up, and there were gold burners burning imperial incense.

Then followed by a cranked Nine Dragons Bright Yellow Umbrella, and then a cranked Seven Phoenixes Golden Umbrella. The former represents a saint and the latter represents a noble concubine.

Then there are deacons and eunuchs holding incense towels, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargle bowls, whisks and other things.

Afterwards, he followed the Jinding Yu drawn by eight horses in a chariot, covered by a golden curtain embroidered with dragons.This came from a long way, so it was Luanyu who could not be carried by others.

Xing Xiuyan was curious before the imperial driver arrived at the courtiers, and thought that Tu Yuanyi would go out to meet the ministers, but he didn't expect him to sit as firmly as a mountain, and just let Li Dequan send a message to let them calm down, and then continued to enter the city.

Xing Xiuyan just felt sorry for the ministers who didn't sleep well last night.Tu Yuanyi felt that it was a matter of course, and it was their honor to be qualified to pick him up.

Xing Xiuyan can also read his chauvinistic thinking, this man is like this in his bones.
