[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The children have their own things to do, and Tu Yuanyi and Xing Xiuyan are left in the other courtyard of the palace.

The 40-year-old uncle and the 30-year-old mature woman met each other and lived a shameless life.

Xing Xiuyan thinks that when she was young, she was not beautiful for a few years, because first she was living in the rivers and lakes, and then she was too busy with work, so her youth passed, and now her children are almost ready to marry.

Because I often worry about time passing by, I like to dress up as much as I can before I have wrinkles on my face.She dresses in a luxurious and graceful direction today, elegant and elegant tomorrow, and hot and lively the next day.Seeing the face of her husband who was bewitched even by her amnesia, she still looks like a nympho girl in love.

Tu Yuanyi also had a lot of fun, so he hugged her in his arms and teased her fondly.

The weather was sunny and the temperature rose suddenly. Xing Xiuyan was wearing a milky white robe like a fairy, drinking and playing the piano with Tu Yuanyi to paint.

"When Xiuxiu first entered the palace, she often didn't understand the style, but now she seems to be in love." Tu Yuanyi had just finished playing a piece, and the more he looked at her, the more pleasing he felt.She is a woman who pleases herself, and his uncle's self-confidence has been raised several levels because of her performance, and it really is like a pear blossom crushing a crabapple.

Xing Xiuyan was not pretentious either. While mixing the paints, she said: "It's been a long time since we've been apart, and time flies so fast that I feel that life is too short. I'm afraid I'll grow old if I haven't loved or hated in this life."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said, "I think Xiuxiu's charm still exists."

Xing Xiuyan rolled his eyes at him, Tu Yuanyi laughed heartily, came to sit beside her, and said, "Xiuxiu is as tender as Yuanyuan's sister."

Xing Xiuyan drew his portrait carefully with a pen in her hand, and Tu Yuanyi couldn't help being dazed looking at her serious look.It turns out that the best love is that one person knows each other and depends on each other. His happiness in this life depends on her. "Draw me better. If you paint me ugly, I will paint you ugly too." Tu Yuanyi threatened.

Xing Xiuyan gave him another look and said, "I'm not a beauty camera."

"what?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled lightly and said nothing, Tu Yuanyi asked again and again, Xing Xiuyan briefly mentioned the digital camera.

Tu Yuanyi was dumbfounded, and asked after a long time, "Are future generations so amazing?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "I have forgotten a lot of things, and besides, I don't know much about technical things. Even if there are a lot of things involved in the beginning, I can't remember the specific ones."

Tu Yuanyi asked, "Are these things as important as military technology?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Yes, technology is the primary productive force, and productive forces represent the development of the economy. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The economy cannot be stopped by politics. The later generations, politics will give way to the economy. Therefore, we can block it now." After Jin, even if the two countries do not have good relations with each other in future generations, it will be difficult to block it."

How bad the relationship between China and Japan used to be in later generations, but it can't stop the economic growth year by year.Economy represents survival, survival is always higher than politics, it is the first, and only a decent life has time to think about politics.

Tu Yuanyi sighed: "It's really a collapse of ritual and music."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Originally politics is for economic interests, and war is for politics. Just like His Majesty's Northern Expedition, when the Hou Jin is eliminated, the country can enjoy a hundred years of security and there are huge economic benefits behind it. In this best In this era and the worst era, we must abandon the old and rigid feudal and pedantic mechanism, and realize the transition to imperialism. You can either be a landlord, or be a peasant, or be an imperialist, or be imperialist. The law of history does not give you any other choice. .Even if it is the vision of world peace, it will be 200 years later, and it is impossible to skip the inevitable stage of history.”

Tu Yuanyi said: "So you must give enough benefits to the soldiers, and enough temptations to the ministers of the DPRK and China to arouse their desires and serve your political goals."

Xing Xiuyan glanced at him, smiled and said: "Wrong, it is your political goal, not mine. I would rather play the piano and draw pictures every day. If you were the emperor 1000 years ago, I only want you to treat me wholeheartedly. I have no interest in interfering with you." government."

Tu Yuanyi smiled faintly, watched her outline his appearance, and said, "Your painting skills have not improved much in the past ten years."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "It's good if I don't regress. How can I have the energy to paint?" With so many military and political affairs, and I have to accompany my children and practice my skills, how can I have such leisure time?On the contrary, when we came to this palace, we sent out all the high-ranking officials who could stand alone. It didn't take too much time, just batching and approving papers.

Tu Yuanyi said: "After the war is over and you return to the palace, you can draw all the palaces and courtyards."

Xing Xiuyan paused her pen, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "In later generations, my paintings should be more valuable than Tang Yin's real works, right?" up.

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help smiling: "That's natural."

Xing Xiuyan said: "I will paint more and pass them on to my descendants. I also stipulate a method of inheritance of calligraphy and painting, so that those descendants who have no titles will force the royal descendants to have nothing to eat in the future. The descendants who will become commoners in the future want to start a business. I have money for my paintings. This is the heart of my ancestors."

This dynasty learned the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty, and the titles were downgraded, and most of them were downgraded very severely. Even the royal family did not have iron hats.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. The authentic work you left behind will not be enshrined by your descendants as a family heirloom?"

"Your authentic work should be a family heirloom, let them sell mine. I really don't want to sell it, and a mortgage is fine."

Tu Yuanyi was funny even thinking about it, and started to draw her appearance.

Looking at the portrait painted by the other party, the two cuddled together tenderly.Xing Xiuyan caressed her cheeks, watched him draw her like a real fairy, took his arm, and said: "Actually, 30 years old is not old, right? Like in our era, 30-year-old stars are still It belongs to small fresh meat."

Tu Yuanyi scratched her nose and said, "It is I who raised you well. Besides, you have absorbed enough yang energy recently, and you are as beautiful as a young girl."

Xing Xiuyan punched him on the shoulder, but he stretched out his arms to hold her body tightly...

Tu Xu and Xing Cheng came back from the outside and rushed to the garden after learning that their father and mother were in the garden. When they arrived at the gate of the garden, the eunuchs stopped the two valuable teenagers.

Tu Xu still wanted to break in, but finally Li Dequan rushed over and greeted him with a smile. Tu Xu said, "Eunuch Li, we have something to meet with the Queen."

Li Dequan smiled and said: "What's the matter, Your Highness might as well come to see His Majesty and Your Majesty again during dinner."

Tu Xu said, "Aren't the emperor father and the queen mother here? No, you are here."

Li Dequan never said anything he shouldn't have said, he just slapped a thousand and said, "Your Highness, you'd better come back in the evening, and the slave will report it in time."

Tu Xu paced back and forth and said, "We are in a hurry!"

Li Dequan said: "His Royal Highness and Uncle Guo must rest assured that there is no rush."

After Tu Xu and Yu Nu left, Li Dequan also breathed a sigh of relief.If you say that the emperor is good at everything, you can't pick a big problem, but there is only one hobby that makes people not flattered.The emperor likes to occasionally force his wife to have sex on the spot, ouch, fortunately he is the emperor, this matter is not a problem to him.As a personal servant, it is natural to have winks and considerate checks.

The spring is bright and beautiful, in the peach garden, under the peach blossom trees, there are colorful fallen petals.

Two people who are not young and not ashamed are lying together, Xing Xiuyan is pillowed on Tu Yuanyi's arm, and her face is as beautiful as a peach blossom.

She scratched his chest with her hand, and said, "Why does the emperor still ride such wild waves, it makes people laugh."

Tu Yuanyi smiled and said, "Aren't you having fun too?"

Xing Xiuyan thumped him and said, "I am not such an uncivilized person."

Tu Yuanyi stroked her hair and said, "Why is it uncivilized? Isn't the Book of Songs a treasure of Chinese civilization? I'm just practicing the Book of Songs."

Xing Xiuyan didn't believe it, he was probably shamelessly treating this kind of thing as elegant.

Xing Xiuyan asked: "Did you receive any stimulation when you were young? You have seen others like this, and you have learned it enviously?"

Tu Yuanyi was startled, then smiled lightly, with a bit of playfulness: "When I was young...it was interesting to meet the prince's elder brother who luckyed his father's nobleman in the paddock."

Xing Xiuyan thumped his chest hard: "Okay, don't learn, you do all you can! In your previous life, you were the emperor, and you had so many concubines, did you follow suit?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "I don't have any! When I was young, so many people were waiting to catch my fault; when I was older, I didn't dare to have internal and external troubles in the court; when I was old, I was afraid of accidentally getting a cold or something. "

But Xing Xiuyan couldn't help thinking that this man from the Tu family might be hereditary, if she accidentally bumped into the young Tu Hui who was pressing down on the palace maid among the flowers to make love.

At this time, the unqualified queen mother finally remembered a more important matter.

Xing Xiuyan was startled and said: "Not good! Wei Guo and Wei Bang are both in the second year of middle school. Young people always have this kind of impulse. I don't want to give some maids to serve as bed servants, what should I do?"

Tu Yuanyi yawned when a full man didn't know a hungry man was hungry, and said, "Wei Guo has gone to the barracks, what can happen to the monk gang? You, you won't become the emperor's grandmother for no reason."

Speaking of becoming the imperial grandmother, in fact, she has already become the imperial grandmother, because Tu Hui and Tu Xian already have children.

Xing Xiuyan said: "No, you have to educate them well... Oh, bastard, what kind of dignified gentleman can you educate with your own virtue?"

Tu Yuanyi was angry and funny, turned sideways, supported her head with one hand, stroked her body with the other, and teased: "What's wrong with my virtue? I'm not this kind of virtue, why is Zitong so charming?"

Xing Xiuyan stretched out a hand, poked him on the forehead, and said: "I was born by my parents, what does it have to do with you? I have to choose someone personally. In fact, Xiao Xiao is the one who is both moral and not pedantic." Kai. Why don't you let him do the psychological and physical education of the sophomores..."

"Xiao Kai? Hehe, Zi Tong, you are really 'destroying your son and never tire'!" Just that dandy wife Guan Yan came to teach his son, teaching the dignified prince to have no husband?Tu Yuanyi didn't think that his husband Gang actually didn't have much left, and he still had a sense of superiority towards Xiao Kai.

"Xiao Kai isn't that bad, is he? Much better than Ouyang Lei and Chunyu Bai. They only married a daughter-in-law in their 40s to carry on the family line. If Wei Guo and Wei Bang learn from them, it will be too late for us to have grandchildren in our [-]s and [-]s." Bar?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "Is it not as good as Xiao Kai in teaching my son? I don't believe it."

Xing Xiuyan hehe, said: "Do you see that Tuhui and Tuxian are comparable to Xiao Jingyun?

"..."

"The emperor must seek truth from facts..."

Tu Yuanyi refused to accept: "Xiao Jingyun was taught by General Xiao Lang when he was a child."

"Why are you so stubborn? What you said proves that this is a family with three generations of good men. It's not like your disciples, who specialize in producing stallions."

Tu Yuanyi rushed forward and said, "I will teach you how to serve your husband first!"

……

In the evening, Tu Yuanyi and Xing Xiuyan tidied up, knowing that their son and brother wanted to see them, so they summoned them before the meal.

It turned out that at noon, the suspected traitors headed by the Wu family had a drink with Xing Cheng, and they wanted to buy some firecrackers on purpose.

Xing Cheng said: "They mean that they have been doing business with Mongolia and the Western Regions for a long time. There are many thieves, bears, and tigers and wolves on the road. If they can get such a sharp weapon for self-defense, it will be a great help. How can such a military weapon be sold easily? What's more, I don't have this authority as a patrolling imperial envoy. However, they do believe in my connections, so I didn't agree to them, but I didn't refuse either."

Tu Xu said: "Father, in my opinion, you can tell if they are traitors or not with this test. Whether they want to personally send fire/arms to Houjin, or Houjin's spies show up for this, it is human It’s a ghost, it’s here.”

Tu Yuanyi pondered for a while, and asked, "What's the queen's opinion?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Of course you have to sell it. As for how much to sell and how to use it, you have to think about it in the long run. But he must not be a fool. Yu Nu is a child, and he just took it out casually, and the other party will be suspicious."

Yu Nu said, "I'm not a child either..."

Xing Xiuyan remembered something, and asked: "Aren't they going to donate the money? I haven't seen the money yet. It doesn't mean that we need to sell some fire/guns so they can pay the money, right? Who am I? "

Tu Yuanyi laughed and said, "Who dares to lie to you!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Wei Bang don't go, Yu Nu you go."

"Queen, why?"

Xing Xiuyan said with distaste: "At your age, it is easy to be suspected even if you are disguised. People don't suspect you now, that's because they haven't thought that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be so unassuming. Yu Nu has been in the world for a long time. It's better, this matter is confidential, you don't want to go."

Tu Xu was not convinced: "Mother, don't look down on me. Father..."

Tu Yuanyi said: "I think what your mother said is reasonable."

Tu Xu said: "I don't want to go to the Yellow Shirt Army just because of this. Now my father and queen mother won't let me go, what's the point of me?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "My confidential room, Yuanyuan and Pan'er are not here during this time, you will work for a few days."

Seeing his mother's unquestionable tone, Tu Xu was filled with disappointment.Tu Yuanyi asked Yu Nu to send people who temporarily patrol the city to transport the money. If they could, they would transport it to the accompanying household officials for storage.
