Intoxicated I do not know the age
Chapter 11
Nine curved bridges with strange stones and flowing water, round doors and windows, Zhang Tongda's mansion lacks exquisite things, but the garden is carefully arranged, and a few peonies are in full bloom, reflecting the brilliance of the garden.
After Shao Jin left, Qingping fell into a deep depression, regretting every day why he didn't set off with Shao Jin, it was really painful for him to stay here alone.
This pain is not only the pain of missing Shao Jin, but more importantly - Zhang Tongda is terrible!
The day after the army left, Zhang Tongda came to him with a smile on his face. His smile was so kind that Qingping didn't realize that behind the kindness was... a life like hell.
"There is a way, as long as you can do it, no matter whether the emperor still loves you or has a new favorite concubine, your position will not be shaken. Once the position is strengthened, the people around you will be safe." Zhang Tongda smiled sincerely, His eyes are as cunning as a fox.
Qingping was silent, his eyes were bright.
He no longer hated Shao Jin, what he hated was the filthy court, and he was even more afraid that one day the people he cared about would die in front of his eyes again, he was not that strong, he couldn't bear it!If there is really a way to stay by Shao Jin's side and resist the rotten and dark battles in the palace, he will not be tempted.
"Take the back seat!"
Qingping was tongue-tied, completely frightened by Zhang Tongda.
Post! ?him?Where did he have the ability to ascend to the lower position!Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a male empress. It is the limit for a man to become a concubine. He has never even appeared as a concubine. Isn't it too difficult for him to become a queen now?
He didn't know that it wasn't Zhang Tongda's idea at all, but Shao Jin ordered him to be responsible for teaching Qingping the etiquette that a queen should know, otherwise he would not have dared to make such a proposal.
Zhang Tongda completely ignored his blankness, and continued speaking in a serious manner.
"There are always two conditions for the selection of a queen. First, a good family background, and second, both moral character..." Zhang Tongda paused, looking at Qingping meaningfully.
Qingping shook.
"Having both moral and moral character is an empty phrase. Even if it gets to the point where people complain all over the world, as long as the emperor wants to be granted the title, there will always be flattering ministers who will jump out and say nonsense such as gentle nature and moral integrity. So the problem lies in the origin..."
It is even more speechless to mention Qingping's background. Others are the daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and no matter how bad they are, they are also the daughter of the principal, and his background can be seen from his real name.
——Si Niu!
Is there any cattle with good family background in this world?Even if there is, it's none of his business, he is at best an old scalper who cultivated land, but he was accidentally sold into the palace and turned into the emperor's cow by mistake, but he is still a cow in essence!
Who has ever seen a cow as a queen!
Zhang Tongda completely ignored Qingping's inner rampage and continued to analyze it carefully.
"If you don't have both, you need merit." Zhang Tongda still smiled kindly, not taking Qingping's worries seriously.
"... meritorious service?" Qingping seemed to see a glimmer of light.
"For example, because of meritorious service in pregnancy, all those who have meritorious service in pregnancy can be promoted to a higher level. The emperor's biological mother was named Tan Jieyu after giving birth." Zhang Tongda's detailed description made Qingping Yintang black.
Qingping looked at his flat stomach as before, and countless dark clouds floated in his heart.Because of the merits of pregnancy... He and Shao Jin will not be pregnant if they do it five thousand times.
"Master Zhang, just tell me what I should do. What you just said is useless to me." Qingping said tearfully, he was almost killed by Zhang Tongda's beating around the bush.
"Get rid of the Queen Mother." Zhang Tongda smiled like a fox, with dark eyes, and directly said the conclusion.
"Ah!" Qingping jumped up from his chair in fright. This conclusion is too amazing and too difficult to reach.
"Getting rid of the empress dowager is no credit at all, it's a great treason." Qingping blurted out, completely forgetting that the empress dowager was the main culprit who forced Duo Shan to death.
He obviously grew up in the palace, but he couldn't adapt to the darkness and filth of the palace for a long time, let alone be ruthless in plotting to kill people.Duo Shan's death made him see the darkness of the court clearly, but it didn't teach him that ruthlessness is the way to survive.
Zhang Tongda's expression became kind, and his smile deepened a lot.
He is a ruthless person, and he can deny his relatives when necessary. It is precisely because he is such a person that he will take pity on Qingping's innocence.
However, he kept Qingping by his side to teach him what it means if people do not offend me, I will not offend others; if people offend me, I will kill them all!Innocence and kindness never apply at court.
"The reason I stayed in Beijing was to prevent the prime minister or the queen mother from harming the emperor. To put it bluntly, it was to prevent the prime minister and the queen mother from colluding to take this opportunity to establish a new monarch. If this happened, the prime minister would certainly die, and the queen mother would also be involved. But if they succeed... Do you think that if the Empress Dowager establishes a new monarch, can the emperor still be allowed to live? Let alone the emperor's life is in danger, even the two of us will die."
Qing Ping's expression froze.
"So, do you still think that getting rid of the Queen Mother is treason?" Zhang Tongda still smiled, like a kind master looking at a fool, completely unable to see that he was talking about a bloody storm in the imperial city.
Qingping shook his head, sadly but firmly.If Shao Jin had an emergency, he would not hesitate to kill the queen mother himself.
"With power, you can protect the people you cherish. You don't need to get your hands dirty. You just need to close your eyes, and I will arrange everything for you. I will help you no matter what."
Zhang Tongda's wrinkled face was soft and gentle, and his gentle voice overlapped with another voice in Qingping's memory.
Two lines of hot tears rolled out of Qingping's eyes, it was difficult to stop.
A long time ago, someone said this to him, that was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life, that person who loved him silently, and that person he would never forget—how kind!
Zhang Tongda didn't ask him why he was crying, he was not inquisitive in the first place, besides...he knew who Qingping was thinking of.
After the touching moment, Qingping fell into hell with a bang.
Ever since he was persuaded to aim to ascend to the post, he has been with books every day, every day, every day: the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, all of which are moderate, all stick to him and refuse to leave. Tao Gong never read so many books.
The worst thing is that he lived for 20 years and never knew that he had a problem with his walking posture. The master Zhang Tongda invited criticized him for nothing, as if he had been walking with hooves instead of feet for the past 20 years. Same.
It made him look forward to the sunset every day when he got up, because he had to study in the morning and learn manners in the afternoon, until Danxi had time to breathe after returning to the west.
Woooooo, it's really too much to ask for a cow to be a queen. Is it too late for him to make Xian?
Because he was so busy every day that Qingping completely forgot to pay attention to the military situation, and he had no time to pay attention to what the queen mother and the prime minister were doing. what's up.
When he came back to his senses, Shao Jin had already won a complete victory and returned to court.
When Zhang Tongda told him the good news with a smile on his face, Qingping trembled instantly, feeling dizzy as if he had been hit with a sap.
Only now did he know why Zhang Tongda wanted him to learn this and that. All of this was not to prepare him for ascending to the next position. It was clearly to cover his eyes and ears to prevent him from knowing what happened in the imperial city.
This seemingly kind-hearted middle-aged man tried his best to dispose of the queen mother and the prime minister when he didn't know anything. No matter what Zhang Tongda did, in the end, those things would become his "achievements" and become his empress dowager. bit cornerstone.
He did nothing, but his hands were also bloody.
"Is the Queen Mother okay?" Qingping couldn't help asking.
Zhang Tongda was originally happily talking about the emperor's triumphant return, but he never expected that Qingping would ask about the queen mother.
"It's all right." Zhang Tongda responded with a smile, his eyes flickering with complex light, maybe he underestimated Qingping, this child is not as innocent as he thought.
Qingping was indeed not as naive as Zhang Tongda thought, or it should be said that his innocence was destroyed in an unforgettable moment. From then on, he was able to cover his ears and eyes, but he couldn't hide it from his increasingly clear heart. It's involuntary.
He knew that what Zhang Tongda meant was that the Queen Mother's life was safe, and the rest could not be guaranteed.
Qingping lowered his eyelashes and smiled, with a sad expression but no trace of remorse. He didn't ask about the Queen Mother, but asked with a slight smile when Shao Jin would return.
Zhang Tongda was surprised by his instantly mature expression but also relieved at the same time, Qingping was more persistent than he thought.
"I can arrive within ten days. After dealing with the affairs of the court... I will definitely come to see you within half a month." Zhang Tongda deliberately postponed the date for a few days, so as not to make Qingping feel too sad.
"I don't understand something." Qingping's voice was very soft, but enough for Zhang Tongda to hear his every word.
"You ask."
"Why did you do this? If you wanted to return to Beijing to serve as an official more than ten years ago, why didn't you come back until now?" Qingping looked at Zhang Tongda with doubts on his face, and then added after a pause. "You don't seem to be a person who is attached to power and official positions. After the death of the emperor, he retired to the mountains and forests, which is more like your personality."
"You guessed right, indeed." Zhang Tongda nodded in approval.
He once wanted to be a good official. If he had the opportunity, he hoped to change the habits of the officialdom. If there was no way to change the officialdom, he would at least benefit the common people.
But he only changed one person, the first emperor.
Afterwards, he lost all his strength, and spent half his life in a small place as a county magistrate. He worked for more than ten years, and spent more than ten years without life or death. It was not until one day when he heard the news that the person was about to pass away that he suddenly woke up. What did he miss, if he had the chance to choose again, would he leave him?
"I do it for... myself." Zhang Tongda smiled. "His child is only the emperor. I hope the emperor will be happy."
The answer was a bit unexpected, and Qingping couldn't help being taken aback.
"Besides, I don't want you to be like me. When you decided to leave, you thought it was good for each other. After many years, you still have to regret it. I regret separating each other with stubbornness. I regret why I wasted so much time. I regret why I didn't stay with him. Beside...life cannot be repeated, and it is useless to regret it. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Before leaving Beijing, he was still so young. the last time I saw him, he..."
Zhang Tongda's voice stopped abruptly. He could quote many poems to describe the pain in his heart, but no matter how exquisite the poems were, they could not describe his remorse. Sometimes silence was deeper than words.
Qingping didn't pursue the question, but changed the subject.
"I want to see the emperor before the army returns to Beijing, please prepare your horse." Although Qing Ping smiled kindly, there was a hint of majesty between his eyebrows and eyes.
There was a gentle smile on Zhang Tongda's sad face, the person in front of him would not repeat his painful mistakes, he would definitely be better than him, and he must be better than him!
Then, he pursed his lips and said seriously:
"I wanted to keep it from you for a while longer, but I can't do it now."
Zhang Tongda's expression gave Qingping a bad feeling, so bad that he almost wanted Zhang Tongda to shut up.But no!He had to keep listening, no matter how bad the news was, he was the only one who could support Shao Jin in the end, what if he was not strong.
"Yesterday morning, the emperor disappeared!"
He originally didn't want to tell Qingping, but Qingping said that he was going to find the emperor, how could he hide it.
Qingping's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.Unexpectedly, Shao Jin would still be murdered by the Queen Mother. If he knew this, why would he be soft-hearted towards the Queen Mother's situation? He wanted to chop that old woman into eight pieces with his own hands!
"Now the army slows down as much as possible, and I hope the emperor will return soon." Zhang Tongda poured a cup of hot tea for Qingping to calm down, but Qingping was not in the mood to drink it.
"Master Zhang, is there anything I can do?" Qingping frowned and asked softly, he really wanted to do something for Shao Jin, even if it was a trivial thing.
"The only thing you can do now is wait!"
Zhang Tongda smiled, obviously confident.
Up to now, Qingping can only trust him.
Shao Jin...you must be safe and sound.
***
This, what kind of disappearance is this!
Qing Ping stared at the guy who shouldn't be there with his mouth open, he was so startled that he couldn't speak for a long time, his legs were so frightened that he couldn't get up from the chair.
The worst thing is that the person who led him into the room was actually Zhang Tongda, that damn Zhang Tongda who laughed.
"Why are you here?" Qingping was surprised and delighted, and it took him a while to ask this question.
"I miss you." Shao Jin smiled again, as sweet as if there had never been a storm between them.
Seeing Qingping's silly look, Shao Jin's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his face, touching the warm skin he longed for most.
Seeing Zhang Tongda's thief-like demeanor, and Shao Jin's whole plant in good condition, if Qingping didn't know that Zhang Tongda was lying to him, his official career in Huyin for several years would have been for nothing.
"Master Zhang clearly said that you are missing..." Qingping complained.
Shao Jin was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to explain to Qingping, and he didn't want to follow Qingping's words and scold Zhang Tongda a few words, so he had to keep silent.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you have been cultivating immortals for a long time." Qing Ping frowned and looked Shao Jin up and down.
In fact, he wanted to beat Shao Jin very much, and he even wanted to beat that old guy who lied to him, but he couldn't afford to beat both of them, so he could only sigh.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shao Jin laughed, why did he say this as soon as they met.
"Otherwise, why do you keep popping up all of a sudden." Qing Ping didn't dare to say that Shao Jin was like a ghost, so he could only say that he was cultivating immortality.
"The army is moving slowly. I will go back to Beijing for two days before going back to join them."
To put it bluntly, because Shao Jin misses Qingping so much, he simply packs lightly and leaves the army alone, and slips back to Beijing to find Qingping's tenderness.
He had already sent someone to inform Zhang Tongda of this matter, but he didn't know that old Zhang Tongda was so wicked that he lied to Qingping that he was missing, which made Qingping almost faint from fright when he saw him.
"Don't you miss me?" After thinking for a while, Shao Jin added this honeyed question.
With a flat mouth, but honestly stretching out his hand to Shao Jin, he half stood up, embraced his body that he misses day and night, put his ear on his chest and listened to the real heartbeat.
"I think, why don't I think about you, I think about you day and night." Qing Ping whispered with tears, although his words showed that he was still upset. "Even if Zhang Tongda is told to die, I would like to!"
Shao Jin smiled wryly, how could he respond to this, he couldn't really tell Zhang Tongda to die.
Qingping pursed his lips unconsciously, and stared at Shao Jin with his face full of resentment, obviously wanting Shao Jin to teach Zhang Tongda a good lesson, at least he wanted him to promise that there would be no next time.
It's a pity that the pouting mouth is really...it's hard not to think of other places, especially Shao Jin has been in a state of abstinence since he set off...
No!Since Qingping left three years ago, he has never eaten to his heart's content. The previous few times he ate was just an appetizer, and he had to stop before it really happened. Now Qingping pouted and looked at him, asking him how could he Hold back.
Therefore, he used the oldest, most primitive, and most effective way to solve this problem.
—Seal it with a kiss.
Qingping didn't expect that Shao Jin would suddenly kiss him and his body stiffened, and then Shao Jin's scent rushed into his nasal cavity, warm body temperature and steady heartbeat also wrapped him up, his heart and body were soft at the same time, clinging to Shao Jin's rough lines neck and shoulders, sending the whole person up.
kiss deeply——
Needless to say, Qingping was wiped out again.
This time the emperor had a great time eating. He stayed at Zhang Tongda's house for seven days in a row.
When the emperor reluctantly left Zhang Tongda's mansion seven days later, Qingping was too tired to even curse the emperor.
***
The road to conquest is not as easy as Shao Jin's smile. The queen mother and the prime minister did arrange a few people to be responsible for the accident. If Shao Jin hadn't prepared for it and was lucky and fateful, the one who appeared in front of Qing Ping at this time would be a corpse.
Of course, Shao Jin will not tell Qingping about these things, even if there is only a little bit, he still wants Qingping to have hope in life in the palace, and he will cover up all the ugly and dirty things, leaving only the brilliance.
What's not so good is that the people were obviously sent by the prime minister, but in the end they couldn't be found. The two old treacherous guys pushed everything away.
But Shao Jin is not worried, he has a lot of time to spend with these two people, to see whether they will win or lose first, or one of them will be the first to ascend to bliss.
Surprisingly, this battle is over before it even hits the stage.
Shao Jin returned from a great victory, the whole country rejoiced, entertained all the officials, and rewarded them for their merits... But the queen mother was not interested in all of this. She told the emperor in a gentle and pleasant manner with a kind face: three years of mourning have passed, and the emperor should get married up.
Of course, the Empress Dowager already has several candidates in her mind, each of whom is handsome and wise, and of a suitable age. Naturally, these women are all related by blood to her. It doesn't matter even if Shao Jin refuses to make her a successor. The eldest son of the emperor, it is uncertain who will win and who will lose at this time.
The next day, the prime minister played, saying that there is no mother in the country who is incompatible with yin and yang, and asked the emperor to choose a date to get married.
Shao Jin looked down at the old prime minister who was kneeling on the knees of His Highness, and then raised his eyes to look around the whole resplendent palace, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and parted.It had been three years since he had sat in this chair, and this was the first time he had felt so relieved and happy, confirming that he was the emperor with real power.
He spoke softly, and one had to listen carefully to know what he said, but now everyone has to prick up their ears to listen to every word of his, it doesn't matter if he speaks hoarsely or softly.
Regarding the matter of getting married and accepting concubines, he only had one sentence, which was simple and sufficient to express everything.
"A wife of dross must not be abandoned."
All the officials in the court were silent.
Who else would be in his mess, naturally Qingping, and only Qingping.
The Empress Dowager expressed her indignation at this. How could her well-planned layout be easily destroyed by this brat? They have the right to decide who will be the mother of the country.
Before the Empress Dowager spoke out to scold, Shao Jin smiled slightly and handed over a note written in small script to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's complexion changed drastically, and the next day she said that she wanted to eat fast and recite Buddhism all the year round to pray for the country, and would no longer interfere with the affairs of the court. Her father, Minister of Rites, also resigned on the same day.
After all, the old prime minister was shrewd and decisive in the court for many years. Seeing that the general situation was over, he no longer fell in love with the post, and wrote a letter to tell him to return to his hometown.
All fit!
Since then, Shao Jin has mastered real power and has become a veritable emperor of the world.
***
Qingping has been very confused for a while.
It stands to reason that he should be extremely busy with the conferring ceremony, but it turned out that Zhang Tongda was so busy every day that he only had half his life left, while he was so free that he dreamed of Duke Zhou every day.
The truth is...
It stands to reason that Qingping had to marry into the palace from the Lan family, but on the one hand, Qingping came from a humble background, and the Lan family could not enter the elegant hall; There is no one to marry him off at all.
Since he couldn't even find a relative, he continued to live in Zhang Tongda's house, and Zhang Tongda was the elder of Qingping and took care of everything for him.
As a result, all Qingping's preparations fell on him, and Qingping was free after measuring.
The emperor's wedding should be jointly managed by the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The embroidered clothes and how the ceremony should be carried out all have to be done according to the rules. Naturally, Zhang Tongda will discuss all these things, making Zhang Tongda busy every day. The government affairs have to be busy with the big wedding, and I lament every day that I got on a pirate ship by mistake.
Although he has nothing to do, Qingping still sleeps until the sun rises every day before getting up. Of course, this has a lot to do with someone who got into his quilt in the middle of the night.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to this kind of life that Qingping suddenly woke up one night, and habitually touched left and right, but no matter how I touched, I couldn't feel Shaojin's body temperature.
He sat up suspiciously, trying to figure out what time it was, why Shao Jin hadn't seen anyone yet, he was already used to being "rocked" by Shao Jin in the middle of his sleep, why the lack of movement tonight made people flustered .
"Is anyone outside?" Qingping shouted timidly.
Although Zhang Tongda repeatedly reminded him that his identity is different now and he should get used to ordering his servants earlier, he just couldn't take it for granted that everyone should do things for him. Maybe he could be a dignified queen in the future, but now he Still the ordinary Qingping.
"The villain is here, may I ask what is the master's order?"
Hearing Qingping's call, Defu's voice rang outside the door.
After confirming that Qingping would be made queen, Eunuch Sun transferred Defu from the palace to serve here, saying that he had served Qingping before and knew Qingping's preferences and personality better.
Indeed, after seeing Defuqing, she was very relieved and dared to speak out about her needs.
"What time is it now?" Qingping asked, his lips pursed unconsciously.
"If you come back to your son, it's a quarter past three." Defu's voice came from outside the door, feeling muffled.
Hearing that it was already the third watch, Qingping felt even more depressed. Usually Shao Jin would come to him at the latest by the second watch, but why is it already the third watch and there is no sign of anyone.
After a pause, Qingping still couldn't help asking:
"Is the emperor not here today?"
"Yesterday, the ceremony of accepting coins was performed. According to the ancestral system, the emperor can't come again anyway. You have to wait until the day of the wedding to see the emperor." Defu replied cleverly.
There are six ceremonies in marriage, accepting the lottery, asking for the name, accepting the gift, accepting coins, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.Najib and Najib were mostly held together. After the ceremony, Qingping was already a queen in name, and only had to enter the palace.
According to the ancestral system, after the ceremony of accepting coins and before the big wedding, the two cannot see each other again anyway, anyway, it will be the big wedding day soon, so no one can't help it now.
Qingping couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Didn't the emperor tell you about this yesterday? You forgot all about it?" Defu couldn't help but teased Qingping softly.
Qingping was silent at first, and then his cheeks were hot and he shrank back into the quilt, because he remembered that Shao Jin told him at that time last night, so he listened to it as if he hadn't heard it, and had no memory at all. None.
After the embarrassment, deep loneliness came to my heart, and I turned over and over again, but couldn't fall asleep.
Alas, he is really not to be favored, and after not seeing Shao Jin for a day, something goes wrong all over his body, and he fell into lovesickness like a long time.
After tossing and turning, Defu pushed the door lightly and entered, and put a package of things on the bed.
"Young Master, Mr. Zhang said that if you can't sleep, I will give this thing to you." Defu said respectfully, and the teasing scene a moment ago has disappeared.
"What is this?" Qingping sat up, weighing the package suspiciously.
The package was neither heavy nor big, and it was very soft. It contained either clothes or fabrics. I don't know what Zhang Tongda would do for them.
"The slave doesn't know, the young master just takes it apart."
After speaking, Defu withdrew, leaving Qingping alone with the package.
It was a red soft satin inner shirt, the background pattern was Ruyi cloud decoration, without embroidery pattern, but it had a very familiar smell of Qingping, which belonged to Shaojin's... body odor.
Then, Qing Ping suddenly remembered that when Shao Jin left a few days ago, he couldn't find his inner shirt, and then he took one of his shirts and put it on and left. It turned out that the inner shirt was stolen by Zhang Tongda.
Mr. Zhang is so powerful, he actually knew to leave an underwear in advance, as if he knew in advance that he would be tossing and turning in loneliness.
Living up to Zhang Tongda's good intentions, Qingping buried his nose in his shirt, took a deep breath, and smiled with loneliness and warmth.
She hugged her underwear and fell asleep on her side, and had a good night's sleep.
In a blink of an eye, the auspicious time has arrived.
***
When Qingping got up that morning, he didn't realize that he was going to be in trouble. He said good morning to Telford with a smile on his face, thinking that he would see Shao Jin later, but he didn't know that before seeing Shao Jin, he would There are still many - many things to prepare.
Although Telford was smiling and respectful, he showed amazing strength and took him to the bath, and put all the balms, essences and oils that could be put on him.
Then he was dragged to the vanity mirror, and he combed a strong, painful bun. The bun was neither male nor female. It was more like the style he wore in Taogong in the past, but it was more refined.
Just finished combing his hair, before Qingping could catch his breath, Defu and several young eunuchs immediately wrapped him up like a rice dumpling with three inner and outer layers of various clothes, and then...he screamed!
"What is that? Don't put rouge on my face!" Qingping looked at the box of bright red things in extreme horror, with an expression as if seeing a ghost.
The nanny holding the rouge box looked at the rouge, then at the future master with a hideous face, and retreated from the goodness.
After combing and dressing, it was a long wait, the last part of the six ceremonies - a personal welcome.
When kneeling down to listen to the decree, Qingping was distracted for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the first time he saw the second prince when he was eight years old, the first day he lived in Ganluyuan, the first bowl of birthday noodles he cooked for Shao Jin, and...he remembered so many things in the past, and finally What he remembered was that Shao Jin said to him personally: "In this life, I will never fail you."
Qingping closed his eyes, his lips extended into a smile.
Then, he heard Eunuch Sun state his "achievements" one by one, detailing how he saw the opportunity and pacified the country during the emperor's personal conquest. Hearing this, Qingping couldn't help but widen his eyes, and turned to stare at Zhang Tongda glance.
It turned out that during his daily training to be the empress, not only did someone try to assassinate Shao Jin, but the queen dowager almost replaced him as the new emperor. As a result, when Shao Jin returned from victory, it turned out that the queen dowager was threatened by the thief and almost made the thief emperor.
He never knew that he had such a good ability that he could resolve many crises one by one.
Zhang Tongda gave him a kind smile back, sad and full of expectations and blessings.
Qingping was startled again, and suddenly he recalled that he would enter the palace as the empress, after that he and the middle-aged man who took care of him would not be able to see each other often, and even if they did meet, it would be impossible if their identities were between them Like now, it seems far and close intimacy.
After Eunuch Sun read the last few words, he forgot that Xie En looked at Zhang Tongda silently, unable to recover for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Tongda didn't know that he had something to say, but at this moment they had no time to say anything more.
But Qingping couldn't keep silent, before getting into the sedan chair, he suddenly grabbed Zhang Tongda's hand, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"...I asked you why you helped me." Qingping wanted to thank Zhang Tongda, but this was what came out of his mouth.
Zhang Tongda nodded and smiled. He had already told Qingping the answer, so there was no need to say it again.
"I always feel that you are hiding something." Qingping frowned, looking a little coquettish.
"It's time for you to get on the sedan chair." Zhang Tongda shook his head, reminding Qing Ping that the auspicious time had come.
Qingping looked at Zhang Tongda seriously for a while, then said softly:
"Uncle Zhang, thank you."
Zhang Tongda smiled back, and his old face instantly became kind and charming, like another person in Qingping's memory - Duo Shan.
He pushed Qingping into the sedan chair, bowed his head respectfully, and said in an inaudible voice:
"Guan'er is under your care."
Qingping was stunned, and when he figured out who Zhang Tongda was referring to, the sedan chair was already on the road, and he couldn't see Zhang Tongda when he looked back frequently.
Duoshan's real name is Zhang Guan, and the Guaner in Zhang Tongda's mouth naturally refers to Duoshan. Although the two of them are uncle and nephew, they are very similar in birth, as if they were carved out of the same mold. It should look like this.
Qingping didn't know that Duo Shan asked Zhang Tongda to take care of him before he died, and he didn't even know that Zhang Tongda was Duo Shan's uncle. He just suddenly remembered Duo Shan's real name and how sad and disappointed he was...
Then he closed his eyes and turned around, smiling slightly.
No matter what the future is, no matter what the past is, he will not regret choosing to return to Shao Jin. He is not deceived by Zhang Tongda's words, but willing, but sincere love.
He loved Shao Jin and never regretted it.
Shao Jin, I will never let you down either.
In order to welcome Qingping to enter the palace as the empress, all five gates in the imperial city were opened.
From a distance, he saw Shao Jinming's yellow figure from the gap in the curtain, standing there fixedly, joyfully, lovingly looking at the rear sedan chair.
Even though it was so far apart, he could feel Shao Jin's fiery longing for him to be his queen.
The sedan chair stopped, and Shao Jin walked towards him with burning eyes.
The curtain was lifted, and Shao Jin's gentle smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qing Ping put his hand into Shao Jin's, and they were close to each other.
Tightly, never separated again.
"end"
postscript
One morning in March 00, after working all night, I finally lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and drew a curtain to make the room dark enough to fall asleep.
Unfortunately it didn't work.
The aftereffects of eating two and a half boxes of Haagen-Dazs finally emerged. My stomach hurts so much that I am dying. It is useless to fight the toilet for a long time.
Because I can stay as far away from painkillers as I usually can, and there is no such thing stored at home, and now the pain is so painful that I can’t climb out and can’t buy medicine, so I have to lie on the bed and rely on a warm pack to comfort me.
After reading for a while, I began to divert my attention from the story.
Now I don’t have enough brain capacity to think of a simple one, so let’s set it in my favorite palace, and then my favorite old stalker... Xiao Shou is the prince’s male favorite, Xiao Gong has another love, Xiao Shou waits silently .
Old stem, old stem, old stem, I love old stem the most! (sprinkle small flowers)
What about looks... power...
Hmmmm, let's think of a not-so-good-looking Xiao Shou, and Xiao Gong is also a prince with no status and no respect.
As for appearance, although Xiao Shou didn't look very good when he was young, he became handsome when he grew up, which is what people say "grows up".
Xiao Gong, since he is a prince, of course he is cool and handsome, tall and majestic, and it is best to have martial arts to match him, a little indifference is only good for Xiao Shou, this is Xiao Gong among the old memes.
Then this and this, and then that and that, and a good supporting role behind the scenes to help Xiao Shou...
Suddenly an idea popped into my mind - I want to read this story - I don't need to publish a book, just publish a short one on the Internet, so that I can revisit this story after forgetting it. It turns out that I once wanted to Had such a story.
When I wake up, I must write!
Uh...if I didn't forget.
After 10 minutes, I gave up falling asleep. Anyway, I can’t sleep, so I just write this story, just write a brief outline.
Where should the story begin?
According to the rhythm of my love, it must have started when they were still young, from when Qingping was not Qingping...
Qingping was not called Qingping in the past.
Before he was eight years old, he was the son of a tenant farmer, and his parents didn't bother to give them names when they had one son a year. They were just called Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu, and he was called Si Niu because he was fourth.
This is where the story unfolds.
I never expected that it took me three months to write the story I thought about in 10 minutes!
Before I started writing, I never thought that I would like this story so much. I liked it so much that I forgot what I should have written, forgotten the progress I should have completed, and gave up the time I could rest. I just wanted to work hard to finish it.
—Someone crawling slowly like a turtle started at a crazy pace of half a chapter a day, and then...hit the wall!
When I wrote the part where the prince died, it became extremely painful to continue writing. Every day, I tossed and turned thinking about another way, another way to let the story, thinking about whether I could cheat, and thinking about other plot developments.
The final conclusion is very sad, it is an ending that cannot be changed, sad but can only be accepted.
They are like a piece of history that has already been completed, I can lament but cannot change it, I can only... I can only try to make Qingping a little bit happier, a bit happier, to be worthy of the person who loves him deeply but can't get it.
I like Shao Jin very much. Although he didn't do any epic actions to move people until the end, it is in line with my favorite emotion, silent and firm, stubborn and unwavering.
In the second half of his ascension to the throne, his personality changed slightly. I personally think it is quite normal. Anyway, he is already at the peak of power. Naturally, he is different from when he was the second prince. Of course, he has the courage to express more, so he has become very fond of it. Eat Qingping... I
After Shao Jin left, Qingping fell into a deep depression, regretting every day why he didn't set off with Shao Jin, it was really painful for him to stay here alone.
This pain is not only the pain of missing Shao Jin, but more importantly - Zhang Tongda is terrible!
The day after the army left, Zhang Tongda came to him with a smile on his face. His smile was so kind that Qingping didn't realize that behind the kindness was... a life like hell.
"There is a way, as long as you can do it, no matter whether the emperor still loves you or has a new favorite concubine, your position will not be shaken. Once the position is strengthened, the people around you will be safe." Zhang Tongda smiled sincerely, His eyes are as cunning as a fox.
Qingping was silent, his eyes were bright.
He no longer hated Shao Jin, what he hated was the filthy court, and he was even more afraid that one day the people he cared about would die in front of his eyes again, he was not that strong, he couldn't bear it!If there is really a way to stay by Shao Jin's side and resist the rotten and dark battles in the palace, he will not be tempted.
"Take the back seat!"
Qingping was tongue-tied, completely frightened by Zhang Tongda.
Post! ?him?Where did he have the ability to ascend to the lower position!Since the founding of this dynasty, there has never been a male empress. It is the limit for a man to become a concubine. He has never even appeared as a concubine. Isn't it too difficult for him to become a queen now?
He didn't know that it wasn't Zhang Tongda's idea at all, but Shao Jin ordered him to be responsible for teaching Qingping the etiquette that a queen should know, otherwise he would not have dared to make such a proposal.
Zhang Tongda completely ignored his blankness, and continued speaking in a serious manner.
"There are always two conditions for the selection of a queen. First, a good family background, and second, both moral character..." Zhang Tongda paused, looking at Qingping meaningfully.
Qingping shook.
"Having both moral and moral character is an empty phrase. Even if it gets to the point where people complain all over the world, as long as the emperor wants to be granted the title, there will always be flattering ministers who will jump out and say nonsense such as gentle nature and moral integrity. So the problem lies in the origin..."
It is even more speechless to mention Qingping's background. Others are the daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and no matter how bad they are, they are also the daughter of the principal, and his background can be seen from his real name.
——Si Niu!
Is there any cattle with good family background in this world?Even if there is, it's none of his business, he is at best an old scalper who cultivated land, but he was accidentally sold into the palace and turned into the emperor's cow by mistake, but he is still a cow in essence!
Who has ever seen a cow as a queen!
Zhang Tongda completely ignored Qingping's inner rampage and continued to analyze it carefully.
"If you don't have both, you need merit." Zhang Tongda still smiled kindly, not taking Qingping's worries seriously.
"... meritorious service?" Qingping seemed to see a glimmer of light.
"For example, because of meritorious service in pregnancy, all those who have meritorious service in pregnancy can be promoted to a higher level. The emperor's biological mother was named Tan Jieyu after giving birth." Zhang Tongda's detailed description made Qingping Yintang black.
Qingping looked at his flat stomach as before, and countless dark clouds floated in his heart.Because of the merits of pregnancy... He and Shao Jin will not be pregnant if they do it five thousand times.
"Master Zhang, just tell me what I should do. What you just said is useless to me." Qingping said tearfully, he was almost killed by Zhang Tongda's beating around the bush.
"Get rid of the Queen Mother." Zhang Tongda smiled like a fox, with dark eyes, and directly said the conclusion.
"Ah!" Qingping jumped up from his chair in fright. This conclusion is too amazing and too difficult to reach.
"Getting rid of the empress dowager is no credit at all, it's a great treason." Qingping blurted out, completely forgetting that the empress dowager was the main culprit who forced Duo Shan to death.
He obviously grew up in the palace, but he couldn't adapt to the darkness and filth of the palace for a long time, let alone be ruthless in plotting to kill people.Duo Shan's death made him see the darkness of the court clearly, but it didn't teach him that ruthlessness is the way to survive.
Zhang Tongda's expression became kind, and his smile deepened a lot.
He is a ruthless person, and he can deny his relatives when necessary. It is precisely because he is such a person that he will take pity on Qingping's innocence.
However, he kept Qingping by his side to teach him what it means if people do not offend me, I will not offend others; if people offend me, I will kill them all!Innocence and kindness never apply at court.
"The reason I stayed in Beijing was to prevent the prime minister or the queen mother from harming the emperor. To put it bluntly, it was to prevent the prime minister and the queen mother from colluding to take this opportunity to establish a new monarch. If this happened, the prime minister would certainly die, and the queen mother would also be involved. But if they succeed... Do you think that if the Empress Dowager establishes a new monarch, can the emperor still be allowed to live? Let alone the emperor's life is in danger, even the two of us will die."
Qing Ping's expression froze.
"So, do you still think that getting rid of the Queen Mother is treason?" Zhang Tongda still smiled, like a kind master looking at a fool, completely unable to see that he was talking about a bloody storm in the imperial city.
Qingping shook his head, sadly but firmly.If Shao Jin had an emergency, he would not hesitate to kill the queen mother himself.
"With power, you can protect the people you cherish. You don't need to get your hands dirty. You just need to close your eyes, and I will arrange everything for you. I will help you no matter what."
Zhang Tongda's wrinkled face was soft and gentle, and his gentle voice overlapped with another voice in Qingping's memory.
Two lines of hot tears rolled out of Qingping's eyes, it was difficult to stop.
A long time ago, someone said this to him, that was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life, that person who loved him silently, and that person he would never forget—how kind!
Zhang Tongda didn't ask him why he was crying, he was not inquisitive in the first place, besides...he knew who Qingping was thinking of.
After the touching moment, Qingping fell into hell with a bang.
Ever since he was persuaded to aim to ascend to the post, he has been with books every day, every day, every day: the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, all of which are moderate, all stick to him and refuse to leave. Tao Gong never read so many books.
The worst thing is that he lived for 20 years and never knew that he had a problem with his walking posture. The master Zhang Tongda invited criticized him for nothing, as if he had been walking with hooves instead of feet for the past 20 years. Same.
It made him look forward to the sunset every day when he got up, because he had to study in the morning and learn manners in the afternoon, until Danxi had time to breathe after returning to the west.
Woooooo, it's really too much to ask for a cow to be a queen. Is it too late for him to make Xian?
Because he was so busy every day that Qingping completely forgot to pay attention to the military situation, and he had no time to pay attention to what the queen mother and the prime minister were doing. what's up.
When he came back to his senses, Shao Jin had already won a complete victory and returned to court.
When Zhang Tongda told him the good news with a smile on his face, Qingping trembled instantly, feeling dizzy as if he had been hit with a sap.
Only now did he know why Zhang Tongda wanted him to learn this and that. All of this was not to prepare him for ascending to the next position. It was clearly to cover his eyes and ears to prevent him from knowing what happened in the imperial city.
This seemingly kind-hearted middle-aged man tried his best to dispose of the queen mother and the prime minister when he didn't know anything. No matter what Zhang Tongda did, in the end, those things would become his "achievements" and become his empress dowager. bit cornerstone.
He did nothing, but his hands were also bloody.
"Is the Queen Mother okay?" Qingping couldn't help asking.
Zhang Tongda was originally happily talking about the emperor's triumphant return, but he never expected that Qingping would ask about the queen mother.
"It's all right." Zhang Tongda responded with a smile, his eyes flickering with complex light, maybe he underestimated Qingping, this child is not as innocent as he thought.
Qingping was indeed not as naive as Zhang Tongda thought, or it should be said that his innocence was destroyed in an unforgettable moment. From then on, he was able to cover his ears and eyes, but he couldn't hide it from his increasingly clear heart. It's involuntary.
He knew that what Zhang Tongda meant was that the Queen Mother's life was safe, and the rest could not be guaranteed.
Qingping lowered his eyelashes and smiled, with a sad expression but no trace of remorse. He didn't ask about the Queen Mother, but asked with a slight smile when Shao Jin would return.
Zhang Tongda was surprised by his instantly mature expression but also relieved at the same time, Qingping was more persistent than he thought.
"I can arrive within ten days. After dealing with the affairs of the court... I will definitely come to see you within half a month." Zhang Tongda deliberately postponed the date for a few days, so as not to make Qingping feel too sad.
"I don't understand something." Qingping's voice was very soft, but enough for Zhang Tongda to hear his every word.
"You ask."
"Why did you do this? If you wanted to return to Beijing to serve as an official more than ten years ago, why didn't you come back until now?" Qingping looked at Zhang Tongda with doubts on his face, and then added after a pause. "You don't seem to be a person who is attached to power and official positions. After the death of the emperor, he retired to the mountains and forests, which is more like your personality."
"You guessed right, indeed." Zhang Tongda nodded in approval.
He once wanted to be a good official. If he had the opportunity, he hoped to change the habits of the officialdom. If there was no way to change the officialdom, he would at least benefit the common people.
But he only changed one person, the first emperor.
Afterwards, he lost all his strength, and spent half his life in a small place as a county magistrate. He worked for more than ten years, and spent more than ten years without life or death. It was not until one day when he heard the news that the person was about to pass away that he suddenly woke up. What did he miss, if he had the chance to choose again, would he leave him?
"I do it for... myself." Zhang Tongda smiled. "His child is only the emperor. I hope the emperor will be happy."
The answer was a bit unexpected, and Qingping couldn't help being taken aback.
"Besides, I don't want you to be like me. When you decided to leave, you thought it was good for each other. After many years, you still have to regret it. I regret separating each other with stubbornness. I regret why I wasted so much time. I regret why I didn't stay with him. Beside...life cannot be repeated, and it is useless to regret it. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Before leaving Beijing, he was still so young. the last time I saw him, he..."
Zhang Tongda's voice stopped abruptly. He could quote many poems to describe the pain in his heart, but no matter how exquisite the poems were, they could not describe his remorse. Sometimes silence was deeper than words.
Qingping didn't pursue the question, but changed the subject.
"I want to see the emperor before the army returns to Beijing, please prepare your horse." Although Qing Ping smiled kindly, there was a hint of majesty between his eyebrows and eyes.
There was a gentle smile on Zhang Tongda's sad face, the person in front of him would not repeat his painful mistakes, he would definitely be better than him, and he must be better than him!
Then, he pursed his lips and said seriously:
"I wanted to keep it from you for a while longer, but I can't do it now."
Zhang Tongda's expression gave Qingping a bad feeling, so bad that he almost wanted Zhang Tongda to shut up.But no!He had to keep listening, no matter how bad the news was, he was the only one who could support Shao Jin in the end, what if he was not strong.
"Yesterday morning, the emperor disappeared!"
He originally didn't want to tell Qingping, but Qingping said that he was going to find the emperor, how could he hide it.
Qingping's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.Unexpectedly, Shao Jin would still be murdered by the Queen Mother. If he knew this, why would he be soft-hearted towards the Queen Mother's situation? He wanted to chop that old woman into eight pieces with his own hands!
"Now the army slows down as much as possible, and I hope the emperor will return soon." Zhang Tongda poured a cup of hot tea for Qingping to calm down, but Qingping was not in the mood to drink it.
"Master Zhang, is there anything I can do?" Qingping frowned and asked softly, he really wanted to do something for Shao Jin, even if it was a trivial thing.
"The only thing you can do now is wait!"
Zhang Tongda smiled, obviously confident.
Up to now, Qingping can only trust him.
Shao Jin...you must be safe and sound.
***
This, what kind of disappearance is this!
Qing Ping stared at the guy who shouldn't be there with his mouth open, he was so startled that he couldn't speak for a long time, his legs were so frightened that he couldn't get up from the chair.
The worst thing is that the person who led him into the room was actually Zhang Tongda, that damn Zhang Tongda who laughed.
"Why are you here?" Qingping was surprised and delighted, and it took him a while to ask this question.
"I miss you." Shao Jin smiled again, as sweet as if there had never been a storm between them.
Seeing Qingping's silly look, Shao Jin's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his face, touching the warm skin he longed for most.
Seeing Zhang Tongda's thief-like demeanor, and Shao Jin's whole plant in good condition, if Qingping didn't know that Zhang Tongda was lying to him, his official career in Huyin for several years would have been for nothing.
"Master Zhang clearly said that you are missing..." Qingping complained.
Shao Jin was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to explain to Qingping, and he didn't want to follow Qingping's words and scold Zhang Tongda a few words, so he had to keep silent.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you have been cultivating immortals for a long time." Qing Ping frowned and looked Shao Jin up and down.
In fact, he wanted to beat Shao Jin very much, and he even wanted to beat that old guy who lied to him, but he couldn't afford to beat both of them, so he could only sigh.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shao Jin laughed, why did he say this as soon as they met.
"Otherwise, why do you keep popping up all of a sudden." Qing Ping didn't dare to say that Shao Jin was like a ghost, so he could only say that he was cultivating immortality.
"The army is moving slowly. I will go back to Beijing for two days before going back to join them."
To put it bluntly, because Shao Jin misses Qingping so much, he simply packs lightly and leaves the army alone, and slips back to Beijing to find Qingping's tenderness.
He had already sent someone to inform Zhang Tongda of this matter, but he didn't know that old Zhang Tongda was so wicked that he lied to Qingping that he was missing, which made Qingping almost faint from fright when he saw him.
"Don't you miss me?" After thinking for a while, Shao Jin added this honeyed question.
With a flat mouth, but honestly stretching out his hand to Shao Jin, he half stood up, embraced his body that he misses day and night, put his ear on his chest and listened to the real heartbeat.
"I think, why don't I think about you, I think about you day and night." Qing Ping whispered with tears, although his words showed that he was still upset. "Even if Zhang Tongda is told to die, I would like to!"
Shao Jin smiled wryly, how could he respond to this, he couldn't really tell Zhang Tongda to die.
Qingping pursed his lips unconsciously, and stared at Shao Jin with his face full of resentment, obviously wanting Shao Jin to teach Zhang Tongda a good lesson, at least he wanted him to promise that there would be no next time.
It's a pity that the pouting mouth is really...it's hard not to think of other places, especially Shao Jin has been in a state of abstinence since he set off...
No!Since Qingping left three years ago, he has never eaten to his heart's content. The previous few times he ate was just an appetizer, and he had to stop before it really happened. Now Qingping pouted and looked at him, asking him how could he Hold back.
Therefore, he used the oldest, most primitive, and most effective way to solve this problem.
—Seal it with a kiss.
Qingping didn't expect that Shao Jin would suddenly kiss him and his body stiffened, and then Shao Jin's scent rushed into his nasal cavity, warm body temperature and steady heartbeat also wrapped him up, his heart and body were soft at the same time, clinging to Shao Jin's rough lines neck and shoulders, sending the whole person up.
kiss deeply——
Needless to say, Qingping was wiped out again.
This time the emperor had a great time eating. He stayed at Zhang Tongda's house for seven days in a row.
When the emperor reluctantly left Zhang Tongda's mansion seven days later, Qingping was too tired to even curse the emperor.
***
The road to conquest is not as easy as Shao Jin's smile. The queen mother and the prime minister did arrange a few people to be responsible for the accident. If Shao Jin hadn't prepared for it and was lucky and fateful, the one who appeared in front of Qing Ping at this time would be a corpse.
Of course, Shao Jin will not tell Qingping about these things, even if there is only a little bit, he still wants Qingping to have hope in life in the palace, and he will cover up all the ugly and dirty things, leaving only the brilliance.
What's not so good is that the people were obviously sent by the prime minister, but in the end they couldn't be found. The two old treacherous guys pushed everything away.
But Shao Jin is not worried, he has a lot of time to spend with these two people, to see whether they will win or lose first, or one of them will be the first to ascend to bliss.
Surprisingly, this battle is over before it even hits the stage.
Shao Jin returned from a great victory, the whole country rejoiced, entertained all the officials, and rewarded them for their merits... But the queen mother was not interested in all of this. She told the emperor in a gentle and pleasant manner with a kind face: three years of mourning have passed, and the emperor should get married up.
Of course, the Empress Dowager already has several candidates in her mind, each of whom is handsome and wise, and of a suitable age. Naturally, these women are all related by blood to her. It doesn't matter even if Shao Jin refuses to make her a successor. The eldest son of the emperor, it is uncertain who will win and who will lose at this time.
The next day, the prime minister played, saying that there is no mother in the country who is incompatible with yin and yang, and asked the emperor to choose a date to get married.
Shao Jin looked down at the old prime minister who was kneeling on the knees of His Highness, and then raised his eyes to look around the whole resplendent palace, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and parted.It had been three years since he had sat in this chair, and this was the first time he had felt so relieved and happy, confirming that he was the emperor with real power.
He spoke softly, and one had to listen carefully to know what he said, but now everyone has to prick up their ears to listen to every word of his, it doesn't matter if he speaks hoarsely or softly.
Regarding the matter of getting married and accepting concubines, he only had one sentence, which was simple and sufficient to express everything.
"A wife of dross must not be abandoned."
All the officials in the court were silent.
Who else would be in his mess, naturally Qingping, and only Qingping.
The Empress Dowager expressed her indignation at this. How could her well-planned layout be easily destroyed by this brat? They have the right to decide who will be the mother of the country.
Before the Empress Dowager spoke out to scold, Shao Jin smiled slightly and handed over a note written in small script to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's complexion changed drastically, and the next day she said that she wanted to eat fast and recite Buddhism all the year round to pray for the country, and would no longer interfere with the affairs of the court. Her father, Minister of Rites, also resigned on the same day.
After all, the old prime minister was shrewd and decisive in the court for many years. Seeing that the general situation was over, he no longer fell in love with the post, and wrote a letter to tell him to return to his hometown.
All fit!
Since then, Shao Jin has mastered real power and has become a veritable emperor of the world.
***
Qingping has been very confused for a while.
It stands to reason that he should be extremely busy with the conferring ceremony, but it turned out that Zhang Tongda was so busy every day that he only had half his life left, while he was so free that he dreamed of Duke Zhou every day.
The truth is...
It stands to reason that Qingping had to marry into the palace from the Lan family, but on the one hand, Qingping came from a humble background, and the Lan family could not enter the elegant hall; There is no one to marry him off at all.
Since he couldn't even find a relative, he continued to live in Zhang Tongda's house, and Zhang Tongda was the elder of Qingping and took care of everything for him.
As a result, all Qingping's preparations fell on him, and Qingping was free after measuring.
The emperor's wedding should be jointly managed by the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The embroidered clothes and how the ceremony should be carried out all have to be done according to the rules. Naturally, Zhang Tongda will discuss all these things, making Zhang Tongda busy every day. The government affairs have to be busy with the big wedding, and I lament every day that I got on a pirate ship by mistake.
Although he has nothing to do, Qingping still sleeps until the sun rises every day before getting up. Of course, this has a lot to do with someone who got into his quilt in the middle of the night.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to this kind of life that Qingping suddenly woke up one night, and habitually touched left and right, but no matter how I touched, I couldn't feel Shaojin's body temperature.
He sat up suspiciously, trying to figure out what time it was, why Shao Jin hadn't seen anyone yet, he was already used to being "rocked" by Shao Jin in the middle of his sleep, why the lack of movement tonight made people flustered .
"Is anyone outside?" Qingping shouted timidly.
Although Zhang Tongda repeatedly reminded him that his identity is different now and he should get used to ordering his servants earlier, he just couldn't take it for granted that everyone should do things for him. Maybe he could be a dignified queen in the future, but now he Still the ordinary Qingping.
"The villain is here, may I ask what is the master's order?"
Hearing Qingping's call, Defu's voice rang outside the door.
After confirming that Qingping would be made queen, Eunuch Sun transferred Defu from the palace to serve here, saying that he had served Qingping before and knew Qingping's preferences and personality better.
Indeed, after seeing Defuqing, she was very relieved and dared to speak out about her needs.
"What time is it now?" Qingping asked, his lips pursed unconsciously.
"If you come back to your son, it's a quarter past three." Defu's voice came from outside the door, feeling muffled.
Hearing that it was already the third watch, Qingping felt even more depressed. Usually Shao Jin would come to him at the latest by the second watch, but why is it already the third watch and there is no sign of anyone.
After a pause, Qingping still couldn't help asking:
"Is the emperor not here today?"
"Yesterday, the ceremony of accepting coins was performed. According to the ancestral system, the emperor can't come again anyway. You have to wait until the day of the wedding to see the emperor." Defu replied cleverly.
There are six ceremonies in marriage, accepting the lottery, asking for the name, accepting the gift, accepting coins, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.Najib and Najib were mostly held together. After the ceremony, Qingping was already a queen in name, and only had to enter the palace.
According to the ancestral system, after the ceremony of accepting coins and before the big wedding, the two cannot see each other again anyway, anyway, it will be the big wedding day soon, so no one can't help it now.
Qingping couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Didn't the emperor tell you about this yesterday? You forgot all about it?" Defu couldn't help but teased Qingping softly.
Qingping was silent at first, and then his cheeks were hot and he shrank back into the quilt, because he remembered that Shao Jin told him at that time last night, so he listened to it as if he hadn't heard it, and had no memory at all. None.
After the embarrassment, deep loneliness came to my heart, and I turned over and over again, but couldn't fall asleep.
Alas, he is really not to be favored, and after not seeing Shao Jin for a day, something goes wrong all over his body, and he fell into lovesickness like a long time.
After tossing and turning, Defu pushed the door lightly and entered, and put a package of things on the bed.
"Young Master, Mr. Zhang said that if you can't sleep, I will give this thing to you." Defu said respectfully, and the teasing scene a moment ago has disappeared.
"What is this?" Qingping sat up, weighing the package suspiciously.
The package was neither heavy nor big, and it was very soft. It contained either clothes or fabrics. I don't know what Zhang Tongda would do for them.
"The slave doesn't know, the young master just takes it apart."
After speaking, Defu withdrew, leaving Qingping alone with the package.
It was a red soft satin inner shirt, the background pattern was Ruyi cloud decoration, without embroidery pattern, but it had a very familiar smell of Qingping, which belonged to Shaojin's... body odor.
Then, Qing Ping suddenly remembered that when Shao Jin left a few days ago, he couldn't find his inner shirt, and then he took one of his shirts and put it on and left. It turned out that the inner shirt was stolen by Zhang Tongda.
Mr. Zhang is so powerful, he actually knew to leave an underwear in advance, as if he knew in advance that he would be tossing and turning in loneliness.
Living up to Zhang Tongda's good intentions, Qingping buried his nose in his shirt, took a deep breath, and smiled with loneliness and warmth.
She hugged her underwear and fell asleep on her side, and had a good night's sleep.
In a blink of an eye, the auspicious time has arrived.
***
When Qingping got up that morning, he didn't realize that he was going to be in trouble. He said good morning to Telford with a smile on his face, thinking that he would see Shao Jin later, but he didn't know that before seeing Shao Jin, he would There are still many - many things to prepare.
Although Telford was smiling and respectful, he showed amazing strength and took him to the bath, and put all the balms, essences and oils that could be put on him.
Then he was dragged to the vanity mirror, and he combed a strong, painful bun. The bun was neither male nor female. It was more like the style he wore in Taogong in the past, but it was more refined.
Just finished combing his hair, before Qingping could catch his breath, Defu and several young eunuchs immediately wrapped him up like a rice dumpling with three inner and outer layers of various clothes, and then...he screamed!
"What is that? Don't put rouge on my face!" Qingping looked at the box of bright red things in extreme horror, with an expression as if seeing a ghost.
The nanny holding the rouge box looked at the rouge, then at the future master with a hideous face, and retreated from the goodness.
After combing and dressing, it was a long wait, the last part of the six ceremonies - a personal welcome.
When kneeling down to listen to the decree, Qingping was distracted for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the first time he saw the second prince when he was eight years old, the first day he lived in Ganluyuan, the first bowl of birthday noodles he cooked for Shao Jin, and...he remembered so many things in the past, and finally What he remembered was that Shao Jin said to him personally: "In this life, I will never fail you."
Qingping closed his eyes, his lips extended into a smile.
Then, he heard Eunuch Sun state his "achievements" one by one, detailing how he saw the opportunity and pacified the country during the emperor's personal conquest. Hearing this, Qingping couldn't help but widen his eyes, and turned to stare at Zhang Tongda glance.
It turned out that during his daily training to be the empress, not only did someone try to assassinate Shao Jin, but the queen dowager almost replaced him as the new emperor. As a result, when Shao Jin returned from victory, it turned out that the queen dowager was threatened by the thief and almost made the thief emperor.
He never knew that he had such a good ability that he could resolve many crises one by one.
Zhang Tongda gave him a kind smile back, sad and full of expectations and blessings.
Qingping was startled again, and suddenly he recalled that he would enter the palace as the empress, after that he and the middle-aged man who took care of him would not be able to see each other often, and even if they did meet, it would be impossible if their identities were between them Like now, it seems far and close intimacy.
After Eunuch Sun read the last few words, he forgot that Xie En looked at Zhang Tongda silently, unable to recover for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Tongda didn't know that he had something to say, but at this moment they had no time to say anything more.
But Qingping couldn't keep silent, before getting into the sedan chair, he suddenly grabbed Zhang Tongda's hand, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"...I asked you why you helped me." Qingping wanted to thank Zhang Tongda, but this was what came out of his mouth.
Zhang Tongda nodded and smiled. He had already told Qingping the answer, so there was no need to say it again.
"I always feel that you are hiding something." Qingping frowned, looking a little coquettish.
"It's time for you to get on the sedan chair." Zhang Tongda shook his head, reminding Qing Ping that the auspicious time had come.
Qingping looked at Zhang Tongda seriously for a while, then said softly:
"Uncle Zhang, thank you."
Zhang Tongda smiled back, and his old face instantly became kind and charming, like another person in Qingping's memory - Duo Shan.
He pushed Qingping into the sedan chair, bowed his head respectfully, and said in an inaudible voice:
"Guan'er is under your care."
Qingping was stunned, and when he figured out who Zhang Tongda was referring to, the sedan chair was already on the road, and he couldn't see Zhang Tongda when he looked back frequently.
Duoshan's real name is Zhang Guan, and the Guaner in Zhang Tongda's mouth naturally refers to Duoshan. Although the two of them are uncle and nephew, they are very similar in birth, as if they were carved out of the same mold. It should look like this.
Qingping didn't know that Duo Shan asked Zhang Tongda to take care of him before he died, and he didn't even know that Zhang Tongda was Duo Shan's uncle. He just suddenly remembered Duo Shan's real name and how sad and disappointed he was...
Then he closed his eyes and turned around, smiling slightly.
No matter what the future is, no matter what the past is, he will not regret choosing to return to Shao Jin. He is not deceived by Zhang Tongda's words, but willing, but sincere love.
He loved Shao Jin and never regretted it.
Shao Jin, I will never let you down either.
In order to welcome Qingping to enter the palace as the empress, all five gates in the imperial city were opened.
From a distance, he saw Shao Jinming's yellow figure from the gap in the curtain, standing there fixedly, joyfully, lovingly looking at the rear sedan chair.
Even though it was so far apart, he could feel Shao Jin's fiery longing for him to be his queen.
The sedan chair stopped, and Shao Jin walked towards him with burning eyes.
The curtain was lifted, and Shao Jin's gentle smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qing Ping put his hand into Shao Jin's, and they were close to each other.
Tightly, never separated again.
"end"
postscript
One morning in March 00, after working all night, I finally lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and drew a curtain to make the room dark enough to fall asleep.
Unfortunately it didn't work.
The aftereffects of eating two and a half boxes of Haagen-Dazs finally emerged. My stomach hurts so much that I am dying. It is useless to fight the toilet for a long time.
Because I can stay as far away from painkillers as I usually can, and there is no such thing stored at home, and now the pain is so painful that I can’t climb out and can’t buy medicine, so I have to lie on the bed and rely on a warm pack to comfort me.
After reading for a while, I began to divert my attention from the story.
Now I don’t have enough brain capacity to think of a simple one, so let’s set it in my favorite palace, and then my favorite old stalker... Xiao Shou is the prince’s male favorite, Xiao Gong has another love, Xiao Shou waits silently .
Old stem, old stem, old stem, I love old stem the most! (sprinkle small flowers)
What about looks... power...
Hmmmm, let's think of a not-so-good-looking Xiao Shou, and Xiao Gong is also a prince with no status and no respect.
As for appearance, although Xiao Shou didn't look very good when he was young, he became handsome when he grew up, which is what people say "grows up".
Xiao Gong, since he is a prince, of course he is cool and handsome, tall and majestic, and it is best to have martial arts to match him, a little indifference is only good for Xiao Shou, this is Xiao Gong among the old memes.
Then this and this, and then that and that, and a good supporting role behind the scenes to help Xiao Shou...
Suddenly an idea popped into my mind - I want to read this story - I don't need to publish a book, just publish a short one on the Internet, so that I can revisit this story after forgetting it. It turns out that I once wanted to Had such a story.
When I wake up, I must write!
Uh...if I didn't forget.
After 10 minutes, I gave up falling asleep. Anyway, I can’t sleep, so I just write this story, just write a brief outline.
Where should the story begin?
According to the rhythm of my love, it must have started when they were still young, from when Qingping was not Qingping...
Qingping was not called Qingping in the past.
Before he was eight years old, he was the son of a tenant farmer, and his parents didn't bother to give them names when they had one son a year. They were just called Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu, and he was called Si Niu because he was fourth.
This is where the story unfolds.
I never expected that it took me three months to write the story I thought about in 10 minutes!
Before I started writing, I never thought that I would like this story so much. I liked it so much that I forgot what I should have written, forgotten the progress I should have completed, and gave up the time I could rest. I just wanted to work hard to finish it.
—Someone crawling slowly like a turtle started at a crazy pace of half a chapter a day, and then...hit the wall!
When I wrote the part where the prince died, it became extremely painful to continue writing. Every day, I tossed and turned thinking about another way, another way to let the story, thinking about whether I could cheat, and thinking about other plot developments.
The final conclusion is very sad, it is an ending that cannot be changed, sad but can only be accepted.
They are like a piece of history that has already been completed, I can lament but cannot change it, I can only... I can only try to make Qingping a little bit happier, a bit happier, to be worthy of the person who loves him deeply but can't get it.
I like Shao Jin very much. Although he didn't do any epic actions to move people until the end, it is in line with my favorite emotion, silent and firm, stubborn and unwavering.
In the second half of his ascension to the throne, his personality changed slightly. I personally think it is quite normal. Anyway, he is already at the peak of power. Naturally, he is different from when he was the second prince. Of course, he has the courage to express more, so he has become very fond of it. Eat Qingping... I
