Chapter 78

The Empress Dowager said, "I will feel relieved with your words. Remember, Emperor, you are not young anymore. Look at the late emperor, you already have four sons at your age."

Emperor Nuonuo agreed, "My son will do his best to not let Eni down."

What a pity, the Empress Dowager looked through the stalls sent by Jingshifang today. Concubine Chun took down the green-headed signs during the letter period. It would take at least three or five days to wait, and the Empress Dowager had to delay hearing Xi Xiner's wish for a while.

The Queen Mother began to think about how to ask them to stay together more and some things must be prepared for the rainy day, and then said, "When Orchi comes, you must be dragged to hunt again. On this hot day, don't go to the Mulan paddock, it's better to disperse around the palace. So you two don't have to separate, so you will have the hope of holding your grandson."

This day is not called a break. The emperor felt the heavy pressure from a mountain. The empress dowager was so anxious that she couldn't do anything. Otherwise, the eldest son would have to ask her mother to remind her of the affairs in the room.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, how could you not feel depressed? After deposing the queen, there was no concubine in the harem. Now Zhiyuan is already pregnant, and the emperor has no movement at all. How can this be said? How can the empress do not worry!

I said earlier that I didn’t really like it, so I just hang it. Isn’t the old lady here now? The good girl he had been thinking about for so long was by my side. The sign was so popular that the empress dowager was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and she was so eager that her neck had grown and she couldn’t wait for the news. That was so unreasonable.

The emperor could not let down his mother's eager expectations and turned his head to look at his aunt, "It's really not possible. My son can take Concubine Chun to Mulan Equinox."

The Empress Dowager said goodbye, "If you get a baby and have a long journey, you will hurt my grandson after a long journey. It's better to be in Chengde. It's close to the palace, it's convenient to come and go, and you can eat and drink well."

Orchi was the emperor's companion. He was raised in the capital since he was a child. He returned to Mongolia to inherit his title at the age of fourteen. When the emperor saw him, he would definitely be very playful and could not care about anything else. The empress dowager knew his temper well, so she reminded him in advance so that he would not be able to change his words.

Yixing was so embarrassed that he couldn't sit still when he heard the mother and son discuss the Dragon Crotch Grandson seriously. He thought to himself that he and the Emperor Qingqing were innocent, why did he get pregnant? But he felt a little pitiful in his heart. When he was dealing with the Empress Dowager, she glanced at him quietly. He was still in normal shape and was chatting and laughing in front of the Empress Dowager. Because he was the emperor, no one should have understood his grievances.

"Long live, then don't go to the Mulan paddock." She sat on the embroidery pier and said obediently and meekly, "The Empress Dowager is also worried about the Holy Bow. Usually, there is no reason for the summer. This time, the Mulan paddock is nearly 300 miles away from Chengde. It's so hard to rush to the road under the sun."

As soon as she spoke, no matter how great the emperor was, he would have to stop half of his playfulness. Looking at her little face, the emperor finally let go, "Enie said it right. There are thousands of government affairs in me. If you go to the yard, you will have to delay the government affairs. I was not thinking well before. Then let's go around Chengde, and go north along the Wulie River, and there is also a large hunting ground. You can run horses there, so you can rest assured."

That's good. The Empress Dowager finally nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When will Orchi arrive? I haven't seen him for years."

The emperor said: "I have already met in Danbo Jingcheng Hall, but it is not convenient to come back. We will hold a big banquet tonight, and we will naturally pay our respects to Enie when the time comes."

After a while of remark, some refreshments were added, and when the empress dowager wanted to copy the scriptures before she left, the two of them slowly walked north along the oasis on the dam.

With her shoulders and shoulders, her mood was not much the same as before. The emperor might even look at her secretly, and Yixing no longer felt uncomfortable. He held her handkerchief and walked more and more swaying.

The emperor hesitated and asked her something, "Orqi is here to Chengde this time, and there is a girl among the people accompanying him..." I won't say much about the rest, let her look at her and let her experience it for herself.

Yi Xing's heart jumped and turned his head to look at him carefully, "What do you mean is there any prince in this world who is willing to send his sister to the palace? What's the point?"

"I want my status to be respected, and I want my civil and military achievements." The emperor said proudly, "And I am young and promising and have a good appearance. When many concubines saw me, you didn't see it."

In the end, it was brought to her ridicule.

"What's the use of being good-looking men? Are you still complacent about this? It's so superficial!"

The emperor was suffocated, "You can't say that. Only by being rich, powerful and beautiful can you make people feel that you are not losing money when you enter the palace."

Yixing looked at him and sighed: "Do you know what I thought when I met Zhiyuan for the first time? I think my palace is a waste of time. If I had known that she was doing so well, I should have tried my best. I would stay at home and find a son-in-law to give me a pride to retire and see me off."

But the emperor sneered repeatedly, "Do you think this palace can be avoided if you don't want to enter? Don't forget that you are a member of the Shang family, and the honor and disgrace of the Shang family are all in my hands. Whether your brother is wearing shoes or barefoot in Ussurijiang is decided by me. Think about it carefully, are you still planning to recruit a son-in-law?"

Isn’t this just a bright bullying? Yixing silenced his lips, “It turns out that the people under his slack life. What do you mean by saying so much? Are you planning to let the Mongolian princess enter the palace without any rules?”

The emperor looked up at the sky with guilt. In fact, she misunderstood. He just wanted her to know that there are many people in the world who covet him as the emperor. She should cherish him more and treat him better. Don't always talk back to him.

But he was embarrassed to express it so clearly, and he hoped that she could experience it by herself. By the way, she knew how to be jealous, so that the couple could be harmonious in the future, you could care about me, and I would care about you too.

"The candidates for the emperor's harem cannot be decided by themselves." The emperor smiled helplessly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Yixing explained, "I am just a part of your harem, but I know the righteousness and I know that the stability of the country is the most important thing. If you are willing to let the Mongolian princess enter the palace, I, as a senior, must take good care of her."

I don’t know if he heard it awkwardly, but he always felt that the words “Take good care of her” were gritting teeth.

"To be honest, you don't want to let others enter the palace, right? After entering the palace, you have to stay alone in the empty room like those concubines. It's cruel for a young girl." The emperor thought he knew her, so he set up steps for her, but he just wanted her to slip down.

Keyi Xing said no, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and everything should be based on the overall situation. I heard that Mongolia Taiji is your childhood friend? Your childhood sister follows you, so you will not lose money. Why don't you think about it?"

The emperor looked at her in a daze, "You don't understand what I mean at all?"

Yixing stood up and said with a smile: "I am the most understanding, how can I not know what you mean? There will be a big banquet tonight, can you meet a distant guest? Is Taiji's sister good-looking? Eighty-mostly very good... That Taiji must be good too." He said and gestured, "Mongols are so tall, with a body full of tendons, so he is very masculine."

The emperor's eyebrows gradually gathered up, "Stop talking, don't forget your identity."

Yixing said yes, "I always remember my identity, so even if you fill in the palace, I take it for granted." Then he pulled out a veil and pretended to wipe his tears and blow his nose. "I am a poor person who was poisoned by the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. I know that only the emperor's orders are obedient, so even if I have ideas in my heart, I dare not speak out... This life is simply too bad!"

The emperor finally sucked a little sweet sign from her verbal arguments, "You don't want others to enter the palace, you are afraid that others will share my favor with you, so you taste it."

Then she whispered, supported herself, and said her stomach hurt.

Look, this is acting cute. The emperor immediately understood and pointed to the Sijiao Pavilion in front, and said very considerately: "Go up there and sit down, I'll take your pulse for you."

So I moved, moved, and felt pregnant.

The two of them sat side by side in the pavilion, unable to bask in the sun, and the breeze was coming, and they sat down like childhood sweethearts and young couples.

Yixing just couldn't say it out loud, don't look at her careless and meticulous. The emperor said that the Mongolian princess entered the palace, so she didn't feel very happy.

Are there not enough people in the palace? Do you still need to fill it in? How many periods of youth will be abandoned to become emperor for a lifetime?

He is good to Zhiyuan and good to her, which should be the unique favor of the Shang family. What should he do to create a young sister? At that time, will he be thinking about his friendship with Orchidhan and let his sister be noble by his brother? What should she do? He can't learn Zhiyuan to resign. He will be alone in the deep palace for only one lifetime... She is only sixteen years old and has a long life. It's boring to find someone to apply the bird cards every day.

The emperor was very satisfied with everything now. The beloved girl was by her side, holding her wrist and resting it on her legs, quietly lying on the upper vein, touching the fingertips and jumping the pulse, and also having sincere happiness.

Yixing was not concerned about her pulse. She turned her head and asked, "Do you really want the Mongolian princess to enter the palace?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the branches and leaves of ancient trees in the distance, and scattered clusters of light after columns of light, saying indifferently: "The Mongolians may not be used to living in Beijing, so they will have to prepare a yurt for her and raise a circle of cattle and sheep..."

Yixing said right, "There is no clearing in the Forbidden City, I think it's better to forget it."

"Otherwise, leave her in the palace? The world is wide and suitable for women on the grassland. When you are happy, you will run around and hunt, and you will not feel wronged."

He said half-jokingly, attracting Yi Xing's suspicious gaze, "You have a deep friendship with Orchidhan, right?"

The emperor said deeply, "We grew up together."

Yixing touched his chin and muttered: "I can't see it all... Do you have your intention? Is it the purpose of seizing the princess to better control the Mongolian tribes?"

The emperor said: "Have you read too many scripts? Mongolia surrendered to Daying as early as the reign of Emperor Gaozong. Is it necessary to use marriage to win over people's hearts?"

Yi Xing sighed sadly: "It ruins people's youth..."

The emperor frowned, "You just said you didn't want others to enter the palace, so that's all, why bother to talk about those things!"

Yixing slowly glanced at him, "I have listened to it for a long time. Actually, it is you who don't want to enter the palace. You insist on letting me speak, don't prove that I am a traitorous concubine, right?"

The emperor stopped talking and sighed for a long time: "The rotten wood cannot be carved."

Yixing smiled and turned to look at the continuous palace complex, thinking to himself, how could I not know your intention, but I can stop this time, but I can’t stop the next time. Now that he is popular, the emperor is getting fresh things and can’t bear to let go. What will happen in two years? He really has the long love of the late emperor? Is he really lucky to be as good as the empress dowager?

Alas, just live by it! He held her hand and she didn't want to take it back, so he held it. He just carefully stretched out his two fingers wearing armor, for fear that he would scratch him by accident.

The emperor slowly talked to her about his childhood, saying that when he was in the beginning of the imperial examination, he practiced riding and shooting with the chief master. When he was in the imperial examination, Orchi's literary talent was not good, but the martial arts were good. He could learn things that he could not learn from the chief master. Orchid would know it as soon as he taught him. Two people went up the mountains and down the river to rehearse and deal with the spot checks of the late emperor. It was no problem.

This is the friendship between children. How can you bear to ruin someone’s sister like this?

But everyone has come. Even if Orchi doesn’t explain it clearly, everyone can’t understand the deep meaning behind it.

"Does that Mongolian princess like you?" Yixing asked with his head tilted, "Does she like your beautiful appearance?"

The emperor was not very good at answering, so he paused for a moment before saying, "Does any girl like this look like this?"

Yi Xing was hoarse, and when he thought about it, it was true. When he followed the late emperor to Jiangnan, he was impressed by his appearance when he saw him for the first time. The twelve-year-old prince already looked pretty, unlike the silly son of the Butler's family who was the same age as him, he was dragging two tubes of clear water and snot, and his little face was thin and yellow.

"If someone just likes you and you can't hide your face, will you have to reluctantly promote her? With such a high background, she must be a concubine, an imperial concubine." She said a little sternly, lowering her head and rubbing her handkerchief, "I have been thrusting for so long, and I am a concubine..."

The emperor immediately expressed his opinion, "I will not give her the title. There are already so many wronged women in this deep palace, so don't harm the newcomers anymore." After thinking, "But you have to think about this matter, let people retreat and let people understand that we are a couple."

Yixing suddenly laughed, and she couldn't stop being happy. She originally wanted to pretend to be calm, but somehow, the smile couldn't help but climb onto her cheeks.

Be sad, be sad, "How can this point at me? You seem to be mine, and I understand it in my heart."

The emperor said it was right, "We will sing and reconcile at that time."

Yixing asked: "Is that person really good-looking?"

In front of a woman, she said that another woman looks good, but she doesn't want to fulfill her family anymore! The emperor firmly said: "Mongolian girls are not the style I like. Whether they look good or not depends on their own opinions."

This is very ambiguous. The emperor also learned the trick in the officialdom, saying human words in front of people and ghosts.

Anyway, there is a warm feeling in my heart. In this midsummer weather, I sit side by side under the pavilion and watch the clouds roll and unfold. I am not arrogant or impatient, and I am calm and stable. Even when I get old, I will keep it in my heart.

However, sometimes the man’s perfunctory behavior should not be taken too seriously. After Yixing returned, he began to think about how to dress up at night. The dinner was set up at the Horse Test Hall, which was a place where the kings of all dynasties selected good horses before the autumn ceremony held. This time, he considered that Taiji, Mongolia came from afar, and pavilions were not suitable for their bold nature. He simply held a banquet at the Horse Test Hall, which could create a bonfire, watch lantern opera and play the cloth.

In such a place, it would be out of place to wear gold and silver. You have to pick out her most beautiful clothes, at least you can't lose to the Mongolian princess in terms of momentum.

So Hanzhen brought out a set of lotus-green peacock pattern robes, with passion flowers embroidered on the collar and arrow sleeves, and a complete set of seven things on her waist, golden and loud.

Yixing touched the flint bag and dagger set, and Nahan said, "Where did it come from? It was brought from Beijing?"

Hanzhen said no, "You just asked for peace last month. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to send me a message, saying that the Lord Long live the order, which was specially prepared for you."

Yixing understood, it turned out that she had long been determined to compete with the Mongolian princess. A man's vanity is so great that everyone wants to know that I don't want you because I have something better.

Yin Zhu unfolded her clothes and said, "You'll try it." After putting it on, Yi Xing looked at her in front of the mirror. It turned out that the clothes were exquisite everywhere. The style was the style of the clothes, but the solemnity was probably not inferior to the auspicious ones.

I used the lapis lazuli collar to press it on, and my hair style was meticulously combed the swallow's tail, which looked as if it was the honor of the concubine, and there was a neat and courage in the honor. Before leaving the door, I had a crescent scimitar on my waist, and when I looked in front of the mirror, it was showing off my power. Very good, she had to make a face for the emperor!

It is not far from Ruyizhou to the Horse Trial. It is not far from Yanyu Tower and Chenghu in the middle. It takes a car and a cup of tea.

It was dark when I got off the bus, and several bonfires had already arose on the huge grassland. Unlike when I came to Chengde from Beijing and stayed out for a few nights, everyone was staying in a mess. Today, they were all dressed up and even the empress dowager put on a walk. I remember that before the late emperor Qiu A, I took her to the horse test room to choose a horse. Now I am revisiting the old place, and I feel very moved in my heart.

Of course, Yi Xing was with the Queen Mother as usual. The seat was left on the side of the house, and the emperor led Orchid and his accompanying officials to salute.

Taiji, Mongolia, was a tall man with a braided hair on his head and a wide dark red robe. He performed a traditional ritual to the empress dowager. His chest was thumping, and he leaned down. "Mongol Khan Orchi, please respectfully ask me to go to the empress dowager Daying to the Kingdom of Great Britain for good luck."

The Empress Dowager smiled and asked him to give him no gifts. After all, he was the emperor's childhood playmate. He was whistling around in the palace, so the Empress Dowager watched him grow up.

"I still remember the scene when you returned to Mongolia. It was thirteen years in a blink of an eye. Now that you look so mighty, time is passing by. How did you remember to enter the pass? Is there Chengzilu left here in the royal city?"

Although Orchi looked like a Mongol, he spent his youth in the capital. He never forgot the ethics of the Central Plains, so he chuckled and spoke fluent Chinese: "When I returned to the Empress Dowager, I happened to take the tribe to patrol the left flag of Abage. I heard that the sage came to Rehe, so I took the detour to Gubeikou and arrived here day and night to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I have not seen each other for many years, although I have been sent every year.

When people enter Beijing, they are always reluctant to come, and they are very worried. I finally see you today..." He said, smiling at the emperor, his honest black face was full of the pleasure of reunion of old friends, and grinning, "Seeing that my master is healthy and healthy, it is really a blessing for my great heroes and the people!" As he said that, several young men were waved, "This is my sons. I specially brought them into the pass to kowtow to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Mongolians are born to be burly. They are said to be in their teens, but they all look like they are fourteen or fifteen years old in the Central Plains.

The Queen Mother looked at them and said hurriedly, "Get up quickly, there is no need to be too polite. As expected, the children who grew up eating beef and mutton outside the gate, look, they are as strong as a hill."

After all the children finished their salute, Orchi finally pulled out a young girl from behind. The girl was wearing a robe, with a hairdressing covered with red coral and turquoise on her head, a round red face, and her eyes were as bright as the sun.

"This is my sister Naren. Because she admires the customs and customs of the Celestial Empire, she begged me to take her into the pass. It is her blessing to have the honor to pay homage to the Queen Mother today." After Orchi said humbly, he shouted like a loud bell, "Naren, come and pay tribute to the Queen Mother, Empress Dowager."
