MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 95
The queen saw the girl bow her head and pondered, and stretched out her hand to her: "You help me go back to bed, I'm a little tired." Shaoshang acted according to his words, gently supported the queen's arm and walked in go.
Branch, who knows that after the queen fiddled with and trimmed it twice, a sense of leisurely indifference came to her face - Shao Shang felt that he had worked hard.
The queen lay down on the Hu bed tiredly, waving her hand to retreat the palace maid who stayed in the bed, leaving only the young merchant by her side, and said: "I have raised many children by my side, not only my own, There is also the birth of Concubine Yue. In those years, she followed His Majesty’s expeditions from east to west, and when she gave birth, she sent the child to me, and she didn’t take the child away from me until His Majesty no longer had to take the imperial chariot in person…”
Shao Shang's eyes are embarrassed: "Wow, Yue Niangniang has a big heart."
The queen smiled: "I know you don't like to hear the phrase 'you will know later', but a person can be judged by just a few words. Someone can be loyal and cool. Bo, there are people who can be both treacherous and filial, you have to learn to see for yourself."
Short business thought for a while, then nodded. No one had taught her this kind of course before.
"However, among these many children, I love Zisheng the most." The queen sighed, "Others say that I have a deep affection for him, but I know in my heart that over the years, he has helped me What you did, what you did for the crown prince, has long been repaid." After a pause, she continued, "Since you fought with Zisheng, you naturally know about the fifth princess..."
"No fight, no fight!" Shaoshang said quickly, "What's the matter!"
The queen held back a smile: "You two are about to tear down my palace, so it's not a fight."
"The madam was wronged, it was Master Ling who moved first, oh, he still wanted to move his mouth, and he pressed me all the way behind to fight, how can I fight back! Even if the palace is demolished, it will still be He did it alone!" Shao Shang felt that he had been wrongly killed!
, the princess ran out crying. Alas, over the years, Nu Ying has shed a lot of tears for Zisheng..."
"..." Shao Shang, "Actually, crying from time to time is good for your health."
The queen couldn't help but slapped the **** the forehead with a smile - this action is a big book in the history of her dignified words and deeds for decades.
Shao Shang hugged his forehead: "Niangniang, don't talk too far, then say Master Ling, let's not talk about it..."
"It's all your bullshitting, and you dare to say I am bullshitting!"
Let's see if he deals with his sister. Thanks to Zisheng's early detection and reporting to His Majesty first, the Crown Prince got rid of the relationship."
Shao Shang first nodded, then felt puzzled: "It's not that there is a manor of the Crown Princess..."
The queen shook her left hand: "It's not a big deal with the Crown Princess, Zisheng has already done everything, and he can't hold the handle."
Shao Shang sat next to the Hu bed and hugged his knees, looking at the queen, he hesitated.
The Queen said: "Just say what you want."
"The concubine was ordered by the concubine to go to the concubine Yue frequently, and more than once I heard her reprimand the princess. My knees. To be honest, I don't think the fourth princess did it voluntarily, but she just didn't dare to disobey the concubine Yue. Niangniang, why don't you..." Shaoshang didn't say anything.
The queen looked at her and said, "You want to say, why don't I learn from Yuefei and beat my children from time to time?"
Shao Shang giggled a few times, she had been hiding this question for a long time.
"Concubine Yue's temperament is bright and bright, she sits up and walks, which makes people envious. But the way of living by one person and one person, I can't be her, and she can't be me." The queen turned back. , looking at a pair of silk silk hanging at the end of the bed.
"When I was young, I often saw my father and mother in a poetry and poetry companionship, and we were inseparable. Our Xuan family's origin is a good place. Fat Su, Dong Xue Yingying. At that time, I thought the days would last like this, but I didn’t know the chaos outside.”
Shao Shang sighed: "My lady is born in a good family, with rich family property, loving parents, kind elders, and no need to take care of household affairs. Like my grandfather and mother, they often say that they were all over the world when they were young. It started to get rough."
"My father died when I was less than ten years old. Fortunately, after my father gave up all the family property to my uncle..."
"What, what!" Shao Shang was originally listening with a sense of disappointment, but now he suddenly woke up, "Xuan Taigong gave up the entire family property to his mother's uncle?! What... I remember Zhai said that Taigong was The eldest son..." What kind of housekeeping operation is this!
The queen smirked and seemed to think the girl's appearance was particularly interesting: "You, you, it's like taking your property. What's the matter, filial piety is the foundation of human beings. The father is not good at management, he only loves to read and make friends, and the deceased mother has a normal temperament, so wouldn't it be good to simply give the family property to my uncle and let him manage it well?"
The queen said sternly: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government. It is so hard to manage a family business and control the hundreds of Xuan's family. Let the talented uncle put all his energy and hard work, and then Father sits and enjoys it, how can this be done by benevolence and righteousness?"
Shao Shang had nothing to say, "Then... that's fine. Then, after Taigong Xuan passed away, how will your uncle treat you?"
The queen saw the girl's caring eyes and smiled: "Don't always think of people as bad, no matter whether the father is in front or behind, the uncle treats us generally well. In fact, after the father's death, he Do you still want to give the family property back to Adi, but my mother refused, saying that I can't lose my father's reputation."
"Well, let's give up such a large fortune. Xuan Taigong's reputation is good." Shao Shang didn't know whether to admire or ridicule this kind of behavior.
"But the world is in chaos after all. Those who call themselves heroes pass by and extort money and food at every turn. We took it." The Queen sighed softly.
Shao Shang said: "Yes, yes, I heard that there were people who asked for beautiful daughters at that time, saying that it is good to be in Qin and Jin, and to be a backer for the village elders in the future, bah, they are also worthy, really It's abominable! My father said that the primary reason for him to gather the villagers to train soldiers was to protect the village from harm." In fact, Director Xiao's father who was the third old man did the same thing back then, but unfortunately he met a vicious thief. He died and his family was ruined, but fortunately he had a powerful daughter to revive the family business.
The queen saw that the girl was lying on the edge of the bed proudly, with big eyes, and smiled: "Xiaowei Cheng is a hero, a hero."
"Where is it? It's just a trivial matter. It's nothing to be concerned about!" Shao Shang smirked and said a few words modestly, and asked, "After going to the Qian'an Palace, will the King of Gan'an treat his wife's family? What about the others in there?"
The queen was silent for a moment, her eyes full of melancholy: "In the past few years, looking at the princes and princesses, I always think of the old days. Although my uncle protects us under his wings, he is relying on others. However, we The family of three is considerate to each other, and they live a harmonious and contented life. There is no need to say a word between close relatives. As long as my mother gives us a reproachful look, my brother and I will feel ashamed and self-examination.”
Shao Shang seems to understand.
"...I remember that one year, my grandmother spent a lot of time asking someone to get some dried meat with wild vegetables from her hometown - that was what my grandfather used to make at home when he was alive. My brother and I were very happy. , and divided it into several meals before he was willing to eat it. Adi also hid a small piece under the pillow, and wanted to take it out to honor his mother in the future. Who knows that it was moldy and he couldn’t eat it, and he cried for a long time. In the palace, no matter if my mother can get anything for our sister and brother, we all respect and love her the same, and feel sorry for her."
"But look at the five princesses, the gold soup and silver water are still insufficient. There is also the eldest princess, who is much smarter than her sister, and respects the etiquette in front of me, but after every 'filial piety', always There are a few requests. There are also princes, who were born in the palace and grew up in power, and when they grow up, they have their own minds..."
"Sometimes, I don't know if they are honoring me, or honoring the power in my hands, my position."
Pure parent-child relationship. No matter rich or poor, power, honor or disgrace, they are always clean and flawless.
"
"Why are you complaining? It's not that the palace deliberately treated us badly. There are many uncles and concubines, and my aunt is too busy to deal with it. She also tried her best." The queen took the silk handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes lightly.
" Along the way, I met all good people. My father and mother are good people, my uncles and aunts are good people, my uncles and aunts are also good people, ... Your Majesty and Yue Fei are even more good people. Think about it. The few cousins who stayed in their hometown, and think about the foreign sisters in the palace, they were either scattered and separated, or they were married to non-human beings, and they lived in a hurry. Today, only Wen Xiujun is left, and we can still see each other from time to time. In the years of fire and flames, it is not easy to survive, I, I have the best life..."
Sad. I won't say anything ignorant in the future... Take a break."
Because the queen met all good people, she was like being in a soft sponge for decades, so she never had the opportunity to develop a sharp and mean temperament, and I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.
"No, what you said, I actually thought about it myself." The queen turned to her side, lying down and looked at Shaoshang, "I admired Concubine Yue's temperament. It's fun. A few years ago, she and the old princess Ruyang were even more violent, but no matter how many unpleasant things she said in front of her face, she turned around and she could laugh and joke as if nothing had happened, making the old princess half-dead, which made me so angry. "
"But I can't. If I tear myself apart, it will be difficult for me to be in the same room with him. If I hate someone, I will never see him again for the rest of my life. However, I often can't make such a decisive mind..."
Didn't the person say anything? If you can listen to it, you have already listened to it. If you can't listen to it, it is useless to say more. Forget it, His Majesty has already punished the enclosure this time, and she will know when she goes back. Anyway, what do I say, she It's also against yang and yin..."
"You said just now that the fourth princess was reluctant to stay in the palace, concubine Yue didn't know it. I think it's important to keep the children when they are older. Happy..." The Queen's voice became even lower.
Shao Shang saw the queen's eyes gradually closing, her dignified and beautiful face was full of exhaustion, and she felt a little pity in her heart - what the queen wanted was willingness, but Concubine Yue was persuaded that if you were not convinced, you had to fight You fight, anyway, I have many children, so it's okay to abolish a few.
In this world, people who are hard-hearted are always more successful, and those who are soft-hearted not only often achieve nothing, but are also prone to complaining. If the former Cheng Shaoshang, as a believer of the law of the jungle, she would definitely scoff at people like the Queen. But as the queen said, a person cannot be judged in a few words, he has to see and think for himself.
Shao Shang knows how patient and gentle the Queen has been to tolerate herself these past few months. From time to time, he is speechless, irritable, impatient, and has many deficiencies. If you change Mammy Rong, you can break two dozen steel needles. If you change it to Concubine Yue, it is estimated that it has been satirized into a sieve. But I have been living very safe and comfortable in Changqiu Palace.
Shao Shang pulled the quilt to cover the queen, and gently pressed her head with slender fingers. The queen closed her eyes and let out a comfortable sigh, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
Luo Jitong was assigned by the queen to keep an eye on the fifth princess, and Cao Cheng was busy keeping his feet on the ground. Shaoshang and Zhai accompanied the queen in the morning to meet a bunch of wives and wives who came to celebrate their birthday.
From the princess to the princess, the entire main hall was fully filled. Although it was soft and delicate, the voice of congratulating the birthday in unison could still reach half a mile away, and it was also received. There was a room full of valuable gifts, large and small. Zhai 功 directed the eunuchs to move them to the inner hall, while the young merchant shook his pen beside him and recorded rare items such as sea pearls, coral trees, rhino horns, fragrant jade and exquisite ones into the account book one by one.
At this time, she finally understood the queen's intention of not wanting to spread her birthday. Well, she would be dazzled if she copied it without extravagance. If it was extravagant, she would have to wear a prosthetic limb.
Snacks, leisurely gossip.
The librarians of junior high school and high school in the past life were all lovers of chicken soup, and collected hundreds of bosom friend readers' stories. My friend, I just hang out in the library when I have nothing to do. Now it's easy to tell this kind of dog blood story, and the sky is full of clouds.
—Zhai Li especially likes to listen to it, but she doesn't have such a huge store of stories, so in order to repay her, she can only shake out old anecdotes one after another to show courtesy.
Today, Shao Shang is going to end a sad and sad story that has been serialized for seven days - 'The wife remarried in tears to take care of her paralyzed husband and her wicked mother-in-law remarried and lived together in the same house'.
The time span is 30 years before and after, and the characters involve nearly 40 people, including the children of the heroine and the ex-husband, the children of the heroine and the latter-husband, the children of the latter-husband and the ex-wife, the year of the ex-husband's first love The child of the unborn child, the child of the ex-husband’s first love after marriage, the child of the second-husband’s ex-wife’s remarriage, the child of the second-husband’s ex-wife’s current husband and his ex-wife…
After listening to the finale, Zhai Li snorted her praise, 'It's really heartwarming and tear-jerking', Shaoshang drank the fruit dew to moisten his throat, looked at the audience who had gathered around him, and saw that they were all fascinated Drunk, unable to extricate themselves, satisfied with the effect. In other words, only this level moved them so much that if she sacrificed the ancient version of the unforgettable Changqiu Palace, she would not burst into tears.
When everyone begged Shaoshang to say that the book industry would continue to shine, Luo Jitong's personal maid, Chunyao, came to her and said that there was something to discuss, Shaoshang had no doubt about him, just like a superstar of the emperor Smile and wave goodbye to the loyal audience, and then get up and go out.
The two are old acquaintances, chatting while walking, Shao Shang asked gossip: "... Sister Jitong's dowry has been packed?"
Chunyao is a slightly taller girl, but she laughs very cleverly: "Miss Cheng, you are asking, these few days the family is busy with meals. I am going to the northwest. So far away, the lady is afraid that our young lady will be inconvenient, so I wish I could bring the bowls, chopsticks and night pots with me!"
The young merchant laughed: "To tell the truth, I am full of sympathy for your daughter-in-law, and they have all returned to their hometowns. Who knows that the goddess is afraid that the fifth princess will do something wrong in these few days, and she will help her alive again. Sister, take it back and do it. Oh, by the way, Chunyao, are you going to the northwest too?"
Chunyao sighed a little: "I heard that the northwest is full of sand, no one wants to go, but the young lady treats me so well, how can I not go. The lady also said, I If you have a good body and strength, it is best to go to the Northwest."
Shao Shang thinks about it too, look around: "Why haven't you arrived yet, I thought I was just talking outside the palace."
Chunyao's eyes dodged slightly: "It's almost there, it's the lakeside pavilion in front." She pointed to Jingxin Lake, which was inaccessible ahead.
Shao Shang's footsteps slowed down a little, then quickly followed, "Oh, let's go faster." Then he continued to joke, "Sister Jitong's future husband-in-law, see you Have you been?"
Chunyao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly smiled: "Oh, don't talk about us, even the female gentleman has never met. Only our female son, we met when we went to the northwest the year before last, but that time. I was sick and didn't follow me. Well, I heard that the future husband-in-law is not bad."
Shao Shang pretended to be dissatisfied and said with a smile: "Why are you so superficial, what matters is your character. Hey, what's that man's character like?"
Chunyao slowly put down her guard, smiled and shook her head and said she didn't know.
At this time, Shao Shang suddenly sneezed, and then snorted twice: "Oh, it's almost winter, I didn't have a cloak when I came out, so I'd better go back and get it first." to go back.
Chunyao was in a hurry and stopped her quickly.
Shao Shang akimbo stared: "You know how my body is, and your daughter-in-law knows even more. When I look back and get sick from the cold, you will pay!"
In the evening of late autumn and early winter, the cold was getting stronger, and Chunyao's forehead was sweating anxiously, and she only firmly grasped Shaoshang and did not let her go back.
After hearing this, Shao Shang nodded helplessly, but who knew that he sneezed two more times, so he refused to go any further, and finally suggested that he should wait in place to let Chun Go back to pick it up, Chunya has good physical strength and fast legs, so go and get back quickly without delaying things.
Chun Ying looked at Shaoshang's unsuspecting arrogant face, gritted his teeth and agreed, and ran back quickly.
Shaoshang smiled and waved Chunya away, until her back disappeared, and then turned around and left decisively.
—No matter whether there is a problem with Chunyao, even if you are over-hearted, but be careful to sail the boat for thousands of years. She was determined not to go to the lakeside pavilion, and she had to go to a crowded place quickly.
She quickly bypassed Jingxin Lake and walked back to Changqiu Palace from Shengguang Lake on the west side. Who knew that she ran into a group of giggling Chinese costumes, and the first one was just yesterday. The fifth prince who was caught by Ling Wuxuan to testify.
When the fifth prince saw that it was her, he immediately smiled: "Ouch, who is this!"
She turned around, looked at the fifth prince for a long time, and then laughed.
