Chapter 16 Chapter 16
Xie Xuanwei opened the letter and browsed it hastily, only to find out that the emperor had an emergency a few days ago, the prince was sick every day and had to act as an agent of state affairs, he was really in a hurry, so he didn't contact him.
After Xie Xuanwei finished reading the letter, he took a frozen crunchy apple, took two bites, and then let the cotton mist rub the ink.I replied to the letter with a pen, and my words were very worrying, full of emotion and meaning, it was really moving to read.
Xie Xuanwei finished writing and threw down the pen and said: "Next time Wuyou comes, give him a few more apples, and you don't need to give anything else."
Mianwu accepted the letter, "Yes."
Xie Xuanwei sat for a while, and took a copy of "The Female Ring" to read it carefully.
In the sleeping hall, Jiang Wanyu stood beside the bed discussing state affairs with the emperor.
The confidant eunuch who was serving came in and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Qiantui asks to see you."
Hearing this, the emperor sat up suddenly, but felt dizzy for a while, almost fainting.
Jiang Wanyu immediately sat on the bed, hugged the emperor, melted the medicinal oil in his palm, and pressed on the emperor's temple.
The imperial physician at the side hurriedly checked the pulse, looked at the emperor's eyes, and relaxed his brows, and said with relief: "Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty is fine, but he woke up violently."
Jiang Wanyu let out a long breath.
After a while, the emperor was not so dizzy, he waved his hand to signal the imperial doctor to go down, and said: "Open the window to diffuse the smell." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned on Jiang Wanyu's arms to rest.He propped himself up again and sat down, straightened his clothes, and combed his hair, for fear that there was something wrong with him.He forced himself to speak majestically, "Pass down to the thousand years old."
Jiang Wanyu felt extremely uncomfortable, so he had to stand aside to serve him, looking at the door nervously.He looked down at his father again, only to feel that due to the torment of the illness, his father no longer had the majesty of the past, and he suddenly aged a lot.He clenched his fists tightly, afraid of revealing the panic in his heart.He has been very panic lately, he is afraid that his father will not be able to support him and leave him, and he is even more afraid that he will not be able to keep his father's country.
While thinking wildly, I heard, "I see the emperor, see the prince." Then it seems that the man knelt on the ground and gave the most thoughtful gift.
Jiang Wanyu almost cried with joy, and quickly helped him up, with tears in his eyes, he said, "Hello, Uncle."
Sitting on the bed, the emperor was so excited that his hands were shaking, he just felt that his wandering heart had settled down, as if he had found a home.He didn't struggle too much to sit up, but looked up at the person with tears in his eyes, and stretched out his hand with a smile in his eyes: "Long time no see, am I dreaming?"
Wei Liang held the emperor's hand, and the visitor said softly, "It's not a dream, Your Majesty."
The emperor held his hand back forcefully, his face flushed, and he said to Jiang Wanyu, "Ah Li, you go down first, I'll talk to your uncle."
Jiang Wanyu nodded and bid farewell to the two elders.The emperor backed away from the left and right, but saw that the smile on Gao Yuelou's face disappeared in an instant, and suddenly withdrew his hand, just standing at a distance.
The emperor looked at his hand in disappointment, blinked his eyes, and shed a tear, then raised his head and smiled at the person who regarded him as poisonous.More than ten years have passed, and he still has that handsome appearance that has not changed.Even if you don't smile, you still have a smile in your eyes. Looking at it makes people feel happy and close.
The emperor sighed: "I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Zhuo is still the same, but I am old." These years, the emperor has devoted himself to the country and the country. Daqi has gradually shaken off the shackles from a small country that depends on others, with faint ambitions. , Even big countries are not at ease.Everyone said that the emperor was tyrannical and ruled with iron blood.But he considers himself a wise king, at least after he ascended the throne, the common people will no longer be displaced, nor will they be extorted.But now his eyes are black and blue, his brows are inextricably depressed, and his temples are gradually becoming gray. The high-spirited boy 20 years ago is dead after all.
Gao Yuelou lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty shouldn't call himself 'I', it's not suitable for etiquette."
The emperor was scorned by him, propped his forehead, hid his face and giggled, "I told you this sentence, but now I returned it intact." He looked up Gao Yuelou continued to smile with red eyes.
Gao Yuelou looked at him indifferently, laughing almost maniacally, with messy hair sticking to his face, he was in a panic.Recalling the past, it was a sneer.
In the early summer of that year, their long-planned coercion began. The man in front of him imprisoned his father and killed his brother, forcing the former emperor to take the throne.And he led a group of 16-year-old boys to fight for him outside the Meridian Gate.That day was the most murderous day in his life, and also the most proud and exciting day.Fighting bloody battles for a confidant, throwing your head, and shedding blood, it was such a hearty feeling!
Gao Yuelou recalled those youthful and frivolous days, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile, saying: "When Your Majesty first ascended the Great Treasure, the minister said: 'A Yu, you will be the emperor from now on.'" He thought carefully about how excited he was. With a trembling appearance, he opened his mouth softly, with the same proud tone as before, but changed his voice: "But His Majesty said to me, "The courtesy cannot be broken, Ah Zhuo should call me Your Majesty!" Hahaha, Chen Xue Does it look like you?" He tilted his head, with a naive look, imitating what the emperor said at the beginning, and even his demeanor was lifelike.He just stared at the emperor with two eyes, with a gentle smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The emperor shook his head, and when he mentioned this past event, his heart felt like a needle prick. He stretched out his hands and hoped that Gao Yuelou could hold him back, but Gao Yuelou just looked at him from a distance and smiled.
The emperor felt dizzy for a while, and was so anxious that he passed out for a while.
Gao Yuelou's heart trembled, he hurriedly walked to the front of the dragon's couch, sniffed his breath, and breathed a sigh of relief.He reached out and brushed the hair on his face, revealing his face.
Gao Yuelou stroked his face lightly, and said with a light smile, "You're old, really old, I don't even want you anymore."
Gao Yuelou hugged his knees and sat at the foot of his bed, huddled helplessly, stayed there for a while, managed to get up, and left the bedroom full of thoughts.
Seeing him coming out, Jiang Wanyu went up to meet him.
Gao Yuelou patted his head, and waved his hand to let the servants in to serve the emperor.He entered the side hall with Jiang Wanyu, took his hand kindly, and smiled at him: "They have grown so tall, they really look like your mother's empress. It's hard for you to have a good memory, you still remember me. I left At that time, you were just seven years old!" He stretched out his hand to compare Jiang Wanyu's height, and couldn't help laughing again.
When Jiang Wanyu heard this, his eyes could not help but turn red. When he was young, he was very clingy, but he was the crown prince, the only heir of the emperor, and even the queen mother could not easily see him.The person who accompanied him the most, apart from a few teachers, was his uncle.
Jiang Wanyu took Gao Yuelou's hand, thinking of the concubine he was in love with, blushed, and said with a coy smile: "Uncle, I have already decided on the concubine."
Gao Yuelou heard this, and nodded his forehead with a smile, "Sure enough, I've grown up. I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the Xie family. It is rumored that she is beautiful and charming. Your father has fulfilled your mother's wishes." gone."
Jiang Wanyu heard this, she pursed her lips and shook her head, said solemnly: "If you only talk about beauty and beauty, there are too many good skins in the world. What I cherish is her talent."
Gao Yuelou sat in front of the case and said with a smile: "I'm superficial, what talent does this girl have? She can make my Ah Li fall in love."
Jiang Wanyu walked to the bookshelf, took a collection of poems he had copied and handed it to Gao Yuelou, "These are the poems and articles he wrote over the years."
Gao Yuelou's heart was confused, so she could only take it patiently, but flipped through it casually.When she raised her head, she saw her nephew looking at her with sparkling eyes, and her face was full of words asking her to quickly praise the princess.Knowing that this is him, no one can tell this affection, so he wants to tell himself.Then he collected the poems and said with a smile: "She is a good girl with outstanding literary talents. If she was born as a man, you and I are not as good as you."
Jiang Wanyu smirked, Gao Yuelou watched him smile, couldn't help but think of his mother again, and raised his hand to touch his face.
Gao Yuelou turned to the last page of the book, but saw a small character Xi written on it, guessed something in his mind, and asked, "A Li, what is your character?"
Jiang Wanyu turned his head to look, pointed to the Xi character and said, "Yuan Xi was started by my father."
Gao Yuelou pondered for a while, and wrote the word Yuanxi with a pen, and an inexplicable light burst out of his eyes for a moment.He asked softly, "But these two words?"
"Yes." Jiang Wanyu said: "When I was 15 years old, the teacher drew up the characters for me, but my father couldn't say well, so he took them for me."
Gao Yuelou rubbed those two words, smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Wanyu picked up the rice paper, looked at the two characters and said, "The teacher said, the Yuan is the beginning, and the Xi is the light. Uncle, I will also become a generation of Mingjun, right?"
Gao Yuelou smiled blankly: "Yes." For a while, the uncle and nephew stopped talking.
Jiang Wanyu was playing with the faded purse at his waist, raised his head for a moment, held the purse, and said hesitantly, "Uncle, Aunt Gao Yang, is she alright?"
Gao Yuelou saw how much he treasured him, and guessed that it was a gift from Princess Gao Yang, and said with a smile: "The princess is very good, she has a son and a daughter, and she is in good health. She often mentions you, saying that she doesn't know how old you are, How tall."
Jiang Wanyu held Gao Yuelou's hand, and said anxiously, "Did aunt ask uncle to bring me something?" He sighed, and showed Gao Yuelou the purse, "When aunt got married, He told me that he would write to me. But I waited for a long time, and only waited for this purse five years ago, and then there was no word from my aunt."
"Five years ago?" Gao Yuelou was clear in his heart, and took the purse, only to see that the stitches were fine and the embroidery was exquisite.Although after so many years, it only faded a little, and he couldn't help sighing: "She did it with care, and you wear it carefully." He looked at Jiang Wanyu and lowered his head in frustration, and he couldn't bear it.Then he patted his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Ah Li, it's getting late now, uncle will go back to Yunyang Hall to get the Beijing entry certificate, and I'll explain it to you in detail after tomorrow morning."
Jiang Wanyu was startled when Gao Yuelou arrived in Lin'an, and entered the palace non-stop without even taking the certificate. If someone with a heart finds out, he will definitely try to punish his uncle again!
Jiang Wan hurriedly sent him out.
After the two walked a few steps, a young eunuch stepped forward to block their way.
The little eunuch brought some cakes, bowed his head and said: "If you go back to Lord Chitose, His Majesty asked your servants to bring these cakes, please be sure to accept them."
Gao Yuelou nodded, and the servant beside him took the pastries.
The uncle and nephew said their goodbyes, and Jiang Wanyu stood at the door quietly watching his uncle go away.
At this moment, the clouds are rolling, the sky is full of brocades, the rays of the sun are slightly restrained, gentle and lingering, the red walls of Zhumen are majestic and majestic.Gao Yuelou, dressed in a scarlet robe, walked through the Zhumen, turned her head and said goodbye to him with a smile, the jade face and the red glow reflected each other, and she seemed to be embracing the sunset, intending to ride the wind back.
Supported by the little eunuch, the emperor stood at the gate of the hall, seeing his smile, he couldn't help but shed a tear.Spring and autumn come and go, and the years go back and forth, and finally Ah Zhuo, who is ignorant and wanton, becomes gentle and firm.And these years, he has been slowly sinking in the pursuit of power and profit, conquering east and west, he wants the supreme honor.But when he reached the peak, he finally understood what it meant to be a lonely person, and what Gao Yuelou said would be a terrible death, and it was finally coming soon.
