Chapter 14 Approval
Zhu Song three years, June fifteen.
Huici, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, arrives in the capital.
Emperor Zhu Song was very curious about his commanding ability, and he was called into the palace as soon as he arrived in Beijing.Huici made a divination to Emperor Zhu Song, and of course they were all kind words.Emperor Zhu Song was convinced, Long Yan was overjoyed, and waved Feng Shengquan to send someone to arrange a banquet in three days' time.
In the past few days, Xiao Jin just stayed at the Qingxiang Inn, and eight out of ten sentences he heard were inseparable from the discussion of the abbot of Lingyin Temple.What he said inside and outside the words are all his orders.
Don't blame Xiao Jin's conspiracy theory, a monk who can command orders came from the temple, and at this time, he really couldn't let him think wrong.
Xiao Jin had to guess whether this was Wen Pang's scheme, and if so, he had to admire this woman's connections.
In the Cining Palace in June, the hibiscus trees are in full bloom, and the branches are decorated with bright red hibiscus flowers.
Concubine Yuan was sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard, facing the lake outside the pavilion, gently stroking the Jiaoweiqin with her fingers, the sound of the piano was intermittent.Baode came from a distance, followed by a monk in red cassock. When they walked in, the appearance of this monk became more and more clear—it was Huici from Lingyin Temple.
Baode waved his hand, making the maidservants guarding both sides of the pavilion retreat.He smiled and said to Huici who was behind him: "Master, please go in, your empress has been waiting for a long time."
Huici arched her hands, expressionless on her face, but looked at the woman playing the piano in the pavilion with dim eyes.Huici walked up the steps of the gazebo step by step, and stopped when she was only one meter away from Concubine Yuan.
Baode lowered his head, turned around and walked towards the direction he came from, walked to the railing ten meters away from the gazebo and stood still, looking straight ahead.
Concubine Yuan heard the steady footsteps behind her, and paused for a moment with her finger caressing Jiao Weiqin.She didn't get up, and she didn't look back. Her eyes fell on the lotus leaves outside the pavilion, and a dry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I always believed that you would come."
Hui Ci smiled wryly: "I thought I could let go of the world of mortals, but I still can't bear it."
"...I also thought that we would never meet again..." Concubine Yuan's voice came faintly, and there seemed to be too much affection in the voice that could not be resolved.
Hui Ci took a deep look at her back, then lowered her head slightly: "It's all God's will." He paused and continued, "In three days, you will get that order."
After finishing speaking, Huici slightly bent over, turned around and left gracefully, her face calm and calm.
After seeing him leave, Baode walked into the gazebo, only to see Concubine Yuan still sitting quietly in her seat.
"Ma'am?" Baode whispered worriedly.Concubine Yuan did not answer.
After a long while, those intermittent, resentful and complaining piano sounds faltered again.
Three days later, the hall was cleared.
Palace servants and eunuchs in palace uniforms came and went, carrying all kinds of food in their hands and shuttled in the courtyard.
Concubines, princes, princes, county kings and civil and military courtiers were all invited.Wen Guowen is also among them, and has a positive room temperature Ponzi.
Emperor Zhu Song sat in front of the golden dragon table directly in front of the main hall, with the queen sitting on his left and the very favored concubine Yuan on the right.Sitting on the following two sides are Hui Ci who was invited, the crown prince Song Mochen, Song Moqian and other princes and princesses, and finally the ministers and their families.
The banquet starts at You o'clock in the afternoon, with singing and dancing, and the lights are brightly lit.The dancers have changed wave after wave, and everyone's food and drink before the case is about the same.
Emperor Zhu Song drank a small wine, his eyes kept falling on the leading dancer dancing in the center of the hall.The dancing woman's breasts were half exposed, her dress barely covered her buttocks, and her white and slender legs were completely exposed to everyone's eyes when she danced.
Concubine Yuan looked down with a smile, but her peripheral vision seemed to fall on Huici who was not eating or drinking not far away.
Huici didn't seem to notice it, she lowered her eyes and silently turned the beads in her hand.The delicious food and wine on the desk in front of him just moved a bit.
Song Mochen and Song Moqian were sitting closest. Song Mochen watched the dance in the center of the lobby with a smile, and the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged.
Song Moqian was just the opposite of him, with a calm expression on his face, and an aura of not allowing strangers to enter seemed to permeate his whole body.From time to time, his eyes fell on the table in front of him, and the wine jug in the hand of the maid standing behind him pouring wine for him had already been changed for the third time.
Song Mochen shifted his eyes to Song Moqian, watching him drink one cup after another, reached out his hand to stop his movement, met Song Moqian's cold eyes, and just smiled and said: "Moqian should not drink too much tonight. , this banquet was specially set up by Father for you."
The corner of Song Moqian's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile, his eyes were pale, and his handsome silhouette was either bright or dark under the light, looming, faintly seductive.
"Your Highness, you are really 'understanding'." Song Moqian raised his eyebrows, shook off his hand, raised his head and drank the spirits in the glass in one gulp.
Song Mochen watched the wine slowly slide down his neck to his rolling Adam's apple until it soaked his collar, his eyes darkened.
After Song Moqian finished drinking, he raised his cup upside down and raised his eyebrows to signal, Song Mochen shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, after the dancers had finished dancing, Emperor Zhu Song turned his attention to Hui Ci who was quiet at the side.Wen Pangshi, who was sitting some distance away from them, had been watching them secretly. Seeing that Emperor Zhu Song finally looked at Hui Ci, the weight in his heart was slightly lightened.
Wen Pangshi glanced at Concubine Yuan, and happened to meet Concubine Yuan's glance.Wen Pangshi hooked the corner of his mouth towards her, while Concubine Yuan looked away with a stiff smile.
Seeing her appearance, Wen Pangshi sneered inwardly.
Emperor Zhu Song looked at Abbot Huici and said with a smile, "Master, the main reason for inviting you here this time is that you can help me figure out whether it is appropriate for my son to go south to participate in the war."
Huici raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Yuan next to Emperor Zhu Song before landing on him. She stood up and bent over and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty is talking about the Second Prince?"
"That's right, that's right." Emperor Zhu Song nodded, and moved his gaze to Song Moqian on the other side.
Seeing that they were talking about him, Song Moqian shook his wine glass and slowly nodded to Huici who was opposite him.
Huici followed Emperor Zhu Song's gaze to Song Moqian, stared at him for a while and then smiled slightly at Emperor Zhu Song: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the second prince is not destined for ill-fated fate."
"Okay, that's good." It's not ill-fated, that is to say, it's not a bad thing to go south this time.Emperor Zhu Song happily said "good" several times.
Song Moqian glanced at Huici who had downcast eyes, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.The abbot of Lingyin Temple?Is it critical?He doesn't believe this.
Song Mochen took a sip of his wine, with a gentle smile on his face.Song Moqian glanced at him, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was fleeting.
The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing."
Emperor Zhu Song nodded and smiled, "It's indeed a good thing, haha."
Concubine Yuan Gui opened her mouth at this time: "Your Majesty, you are so happy, why don't you let the master help the prince and princess to see?"
"Yes, yes, what Aifei said is very true." Zhu Song clapped his hands together, turned to look at Huici, "Master, I'm sorry for your trouble."
Hui Ci smiled and nodded in response.He first looked at Song Mochen, and after looking at it for a long time, he said slowly: "The Kun bird turns into a peng in autumn, so happy to swim and soar; soaring thousands of miles into the sky, other birds can't."
When Song Moqian heard these words, his fingers shaking the wine glass paused.
Emperor Zhu Song couldn't understand these twists and turns. Seeing Huici finished speaking, he frowned slightly and asked nervously, "Master, this is..."
Huici sighed quietly and said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked. It can only be said that this is a sign of Kunpeng's vicissitudes. It is auspicious for everything to change."Huici looked at Song Mochen and Song Moqian carefully, only to feel that the fate of these two people was unusual.
"This... this..." Emperor Zhu Song was speechless for a moment.
The queen looked at Hui Ci worriedly, and said nervously, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Actually, Your Majesty and the Empress do not need to worry too much, this is not an order of fate." Huici replied.
Hearing what he said, Emperor Zhu Song and the Empress hissed a little.
Song Mochen held the wine glass, staring at the reflection in the glass, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly turned cold, Concubine Yuan opened her mouth to "change the subject" and said: "Mrs. Wenhou's Mansion, I heard that the eldest son of your Wen family has married a few days ago. Why don't you tell me about the eldest son so that you can get married?" Abbot Huici will do the math for you?"
Wen Pangshi and Wen Guowen looked at each other "face to face", and Wen Pangshi pretended to be cautious and responded: "Is...isn't that inappropriate? Abbot Huici rarely comes to Beijing, so how can he give orders to our family Yelan."
Emperor Zhu Song asked quite interestedly: "Oh, Prime Minister Wen, is there such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the incident a few days ago caused a great uproar in the capital." Concubine Yuan covered her mouth with a silk fan and smiled.
"Let the master do the math." Seeing that Wen Guowen still wanted to speak, Emperor Zhu Song waved his hands impatiently.
Wen Guowen and Wen Pangshi looked at each other in embarrassment, and Wen Pangshi looked at Huici and said respectfully: "Then Master Lao is here."
"It's nothing, you can tell the eldest son's horoscope." Huici smiled.
"Shen Shizhong was born." Wen Pangshi lowered his head, and no one saw the upward arc of his mouth.
Huici pondered for a while, then frowned: "Shen Shizhong was born: first restrain the father, the six relatives are not able to do it, the brothers are not good enough to leave the ancestors, they should only be self-sufficient, have more than enough clothes and money, right and wrong are not fair, the husband and wife are late to punish the son, and the early years fail. good."
Everyone in the hall was a little surprised when they heard this. Isn't this father Ke just Wen Guoan who said he died early?This also restrains his wife and affects his siblings. It seems that the fate of the Wen family's youngest is really bumpy.
"Master, although I'm just Yelan's aunt, is this child suffering too much? Is there a solution?" Wen Pangshi pretended to be nervous.
"There is a solution, it's just..." Huici frowned, as if deliberating whether to speak out.
Emperor Zhu Song was very relieved to see Wen Pangshi's "extensive care" for his nephew.He said, "Master, speak directly."
"This son should return home as soon as possible."
There was silence—
Returning?Isn't that just getting married?still early?
Everyone was surprised and had different thoughts.
"Our poor Yelan..." Wen Pangshi shouted, took out his handkerchief and wiped his teary eyes.
"Although there was a precedent for men marrying men in previous dynasties, this matter..." Emperor Zhu Song looked at her grief and indignation, and slowly rubbed the jade ring on his finger, frowning slightly.
"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Wen Guoan, who has passed away, had arranged a marriage for Mr. Wen. The other party was a man named Xiao Jin. Maybe Wen Guoan made this arrangement after he had tested Mr. Wen's horoscope. " Yuan Guifei said suddenly.
"Is there another matter? Prime Minister Wen, is this serious?" Emperor Zhu Song looked at Wen Guowen.
Wen Guowen bowed his head: "Really."
"Although it is rare for a man to marry a man, the Wen family has another marriage contract. I am happy today. I will decree to marry Wen Yelan and Xiao Jin, and we will choose a date to get married."
Everyone stood up and clasped their hands and shouted: "The emperor is holy!"
Wen Guowen and Wen Pangzi looked down at each other and smiled.
