Changle Floating Life

Ye Jianqing walked into a palace in a haze, men and women came and went, serving water and tea in a hurry, no one noticed him.He curiously asked an oncoming little palace eunuch, "Eunuch, where is this?" The man bowed his head and passed him quickly without saying a word.

Ye Jianqing screamed.Still no one paid him any attention.After being frightened, he calmed down, only hearing the faint voices of people coming from the inner hall, so he walked a few steps in, and saw a person who looked like an imperial physician kneeling on the ground and talking beside the big bed not far away.The bright yellow curtains on the bed have been raised, and a middle-aged man is half lying down with a painful expression.Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, there was a faint pattern of sea water and river cliffs on the sleeves.Ye Jianqing looked around, and saw a freshly written calligraphy and painting spread out on the small table under the window, with the year name of "Shaokang" on the inscription.He turned back to look at the man on the bed, checked his face, and knew his identity in his heart.

The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, the headache is unbearable. It can be healed if the head is pricked and a little bleeding." At this time, a beautiful woman in a palace costume who painted Dai Wan'e came out from behind the curtain, and said angrily: "Bold! Dare to be on the head of the emperor!" Bloodletting!" The medical officer was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.Emperor Shaokang on the bed opened his eyes and sighed: "Queen, the bleeding may not be bad. Let him try it." The queen frowned and tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty..." The emperor waved his hand and said: "Father suffered a lot back then. With the weight of the head, Qing Jun also used acupuncture to prick the earlobe of his father, which is recorded in the pulse case of the Imperial Hospital."

The queen's eyelids twitched, and when she heard the word "Qing Jun", she immediately turned into a gourd without a mouth and said nothing.Under the urging of the emperor repeatedly, the imperial physician on the ground got up tremblingly, and stabbed the Baihui acupoint with golden needles for a long time.After pulling out the needle, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile, "As expected, I can't see the flying catkins in front of me. Empress, I'm much better."

Really have such a miraculous effect?Although the queen was a little suspicious, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the joy in her heart flew to her face, and she sat on the side of the bed and held the emperor's hand, tears finally welled up in her eyes.

The emperor and the empress do not avoid outsiders, they are deeply affectionate, and you will respect me.The palace people dodged quietly, Ye Jianqing also blushed a little, followed the imperial doctor and quietly walked out of the palace.Suddenly a gust of new wind blows in front of my eyes, and the chill hits my face. The courtyard is covered with silver, and there are two chapters of osmanthus trees, hugging the sky, bathed in snow and covered with frost.

Not far away, there were two young women standing under the plum tree, chatting.There was a smiling mole at the corner of the young woman's mouth, she was clever and cute, and she said: "This plum blossom tongue pill is the most authentic one made by my sister." Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Stop flattering me. Isn't your purple gold ingot a must in the capital?" The two talked and laughed, and took most of the plutonium accumulated snow and handed it to the maidservant.The older beauty took out a jade porcelain bottle from her bosom, shook it in her hand, the smiling beauty snatched it, and uncorked the bottle with a "plop": "How much is left, give me a honeypot ’” The other person was anxious: “There’s not much left, I promised my empress that I would take it with me, and you should return it to me quickly.”

While the two were scrambling, a pill of red medicine came out of the bottle and rolled along the snow until it reached a pair of black boots.When the two saw each other, they immediately knelt down and said "long live".The emperor looked much better than Fang Cai, bent down to pick up the pill, squeezed it with his fingertips carefully, and said with a smile, "Is this the panacea to save me?" Beside the emperor was a young and handsome young man from the clan, with a shocking expression. He stared at Shuangshu with his eyes.

Suddenly a gust of north wind blew, and the figures of the four disappeared in the wind and snow.Ye Jianqing covered his head with his hands and covered his face. After the snowstorm, he was actually in the vast snowy field.At this moment, he probably knew that he was in a dream, and he saw something approaching from a distance above the snowy field.

A green-covered carriage was coming, and he shouted to the old man driving: "Father, take me for a ride." The old man didn't expect a young man to jump out of the wilderness, and it took him a long time to rein in the horse and drive towards him. Behind him said: "Madam, there is a young man who wants to take a ride."

The cotton curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the person inside turned out to be the woman who picked snow from the palace just now, she was already dressed as a woman, her abdomen was high and protruding, as if she was pregnant.She glanced at the outside of the car vigilantly, put down the curtain, and said softly: "My lord, I'm a woman, so it's really inconvenient. Yunzhou City is not far ahead, and there is a caravan behind. You can wait here, soon People are coming."

Yunzhou City?Ye Jianqing's heart suddenly moved, like a snowflake in his mind, auspicious light flashed by, but before he had time to think about it, he couldn't catch it anymore.He wanted to plead again, but the old man swung his whip down, and the carriage started to run again.Ye Jianqing chased after the overwhelming snow and dust, shouting: "Wait for me, wait for me!"

I am here.

His hand was suddenly held firmly, Ye Jianqing woke up suddenly, Pei Zhaoye was sitting by the bed with a cup of tea.The candles in front of the windows burn silently, and the palace is heavy and decayed in the shadows.

It took Ye Jianqing a while to fully wake up, so he got up and drank a few sips of tea with his hand.He looked up and saw Pei Zhaoye in filial piety, and asked, "What time is it?" Pei Zhaoye put away the teacup: "It's almost Yin time. You sleep a little longer. I'll send you out of the palace before dawn. You go back to the palace first, Give these letters to Butler Zhou." After speaking, he took out a few white envelopes from his sleeve, and after Ye Jianqing put them away, the two were speechless for a while.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.Ye Jianqing thought of what happened before falling asleep last night, and felt his face burn like fire.But Pei Zhaoye sighed softly: "Thank you." Ye Jianqing wondered: "Thank you for what?" Pei Zhaoye stared at him and said, "A word awakens the dreamer." Tan: "Your Highness is overly sad." Pei Zhaoye nodded and said, "It's because of overly sad that foreign demons invaded, but your mind is so disturbed that you can't control yourself."

Thank you.On such a sad night, come into the palace to accompany me.Otherwise, the night will last forever and I will sit in the palace. I don't know how to spend the loneliest moment in my life.

At this time, there were soft footsteps outside the house, and Mother Jiang's voice came from under the window: "Your Highness, it's time to go to the mourning hall." Pei Zhaoye stood up and gave some instructions before leaving.

Ye Jianqing was hugged and sat on the bed. The night was deep, and the huge palace was eerily quiet. He recalled everything in his dream and couldn't sleep anymore.When it was almost dawn, Jiang's mother asked a palace supervisor to send him out while the palace gate just opened.When he returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, he handed the letter to Steward Zhou, and it was nothing more than a trivial matter.Steward Zhou said while watching, "Master Ye, the lord has ordered you to stay in the mansion for the next few days, and go to Tianshui Hutong after the limelight passes." Ye Jianqing replied, and Steward Zhou specifically picked out another A letter came to ask the accountant's errands to Zuo Fengmian.

Ye Jianqing suddenly said: "Butler Zhou, there is nothing left and right, I will give it to Mr. Zuo."

Come out from Duanwang Mansion, go straight south, cross the East Street, pass through an old small bridge archway, turn west, walk through the back door of Xueyin Nunnery, there is a small alley next to it, and the last one in the alley with a white board door is on the left government.Ye Jianqing knocked on the door for a long time before an old man came to answer.The empress had a great funeral, all the officials were given ten days off, and Zuo Fengmian was at home.

After entering, there are no flowers, trees or even weeds in the courtyard, only a well.The sycamore tree next door stretched over half of the branches, and the yellow leaves fell all over the ground, so desolate and sparse, so desolate.Zuo Fengmian was sitting idle in the study, unexpectedly wearing a cloth shirt, with his hair draped casually.Ye Jianqing was used to seeing his solemn appearance in official uniform, so he was a little surprised.

There is only one sentence in Pei Zhaoye's handwriting: "The decision of victory or defeat is only here to move or not to move, remember to remember!"

Zuo Fengmian put away the letter, and Fang raised his eyes to look at Ye Jianqing, who was dissatisfied: "Lord Zuo, Your Highness has explained that the letter will be destroyed if you read it." When you are not happy: "Please trouble Mr. Ye to deliver the letter twice, even if Mr. Zuo is extremely bored, Zuo can't afford it. Does Mr. Ye have anything to say to Mr. Zuo?"

Ye Jianqing frowned.He underestimated Zuo Fengmian too much.Seeing this person from the beginning of Hongye Villa, I felt that his language was dry and tasteless, but he was just a capable subordinate of King Duan.But along the way, I saw that he is scheming and insidious, he is good at maneuvering, and he has the viciousness to kill with a knife.At Hongye Mountain Villa that day, the blind prescription: Angelica, Polygala, Shengdi, Duhuo, Fangfeng, Pangolin.He has done everything else, except that the medicine "Fangfeng" caught his way unexpectedly.

At this moment, the old man at the concierge came in to deliver tea, and there were a few tea stalks floating in the white porcelain cup, Zuo Fengmian picked it up and took a sip: "Coarse tea is hard to entertain guests, Young Master Ye is laughing at you." Ye Jianqing waited for the old man to go out , then sneered and said: "Master Zuo's tea essence is very expensive, how dare Jianqing drink it. Yesterday, I was only greedy for a moment of appetite in Dali Temple, so I almost handed him over."

Zuo Fengmian paused while serving the tea. Knowing that Pei Zhaoye failed to succeed last night, he felt regretful for a while, so he put down the teacup and pretended to say, "I don't understand Mr. Ye's words."

Ye Jianqing stood up suddenly, and the words became more and more fierce: "Master Zuo is partial to others, and he is unjust, and he doesn't show his affection, but I can't make fun like Mr. Zuo. Behind the Yushu/garden flowers, the flowers will not last long , I'm afraid that the girl will break her favor before she is old." He said at the end that his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

Zuo Fengmian's face changed a few times, Ye Jianqing's words seemed to be beyond his expectation, but they were reasonable.Finally, he suddenly smiled and said: "Young Master Ye, Young Master, if I were you, I would think more before opening my mouth, why bother to push hard boats and shit hard. The matter of love and moon is now mature, so it can't be said to be true or false. Just take a big capital to do business, and you have to be kind."

Ye Jianqing thumped his head, felt like sitting on pins and needles, and walked away.

After leaving the small alley, Ye Jianqing stood in front of Xueyin Nunnery, and tears suddenly fell.He burst into tears and smiled: Isn't it a skinny donkey who pulls hard shit—is he just trying to be brave?He is no longer a high-ranking young master, but a worthless person with a low status and can be bullied by others; but he still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, is dull and arrogant, and plays tricks, what good is it to offend Zuo Fengmian and him? ?

He stood there, tears were about to fall again, when he suddenly heard a lazy voice behind him saying: "You have to cry and go home and cry, don't stand here to block my sunshine." Ye Jianqing followed the reputation, Xue Yin In front of the nunnery lay an old beggar, dressed in ragged clothes, catching lice in the autumn sun.Ye Jianqing blushed, said "offended", and was about to leave in a hurry, but the old beggar shouted: "Hey, boy, your master asked you to go to Suxin Pavilion to find him, did you hear that?"

During the national mourning period, even Suxin Pavilion closed its doors to thank guests.Ye Jianqing followed Mingzhu girl into the pavilion in a daze, and went around to Meiwu in the back. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Lanshan sitting on the plum tree playing alone. Well, the shopkeeper and I are worried to death. You want to leave without saying hello next time, see if I don't give you a big slap in the face?"

Ye Jianqing was moved and sad at the same time, and asked timidly: "Master, he..." Lan Shan curled his lips into Meiwu and said, "I'm having tea and playing chess with that sinister smiling tiger."

The "smiling tiger" in her mouth naturally refers to Shen Wei.Although Mingzhu was displeased, she only pretended that the east wind was hitting her ears and urged Ye Jianqing to go in quickly.

As soon as Ye Jianqing entered Meiwu, he saw Gu Su with gauze wrapped around his neck, rushing in in a hurry, which surprised them both.Gu Su threw a chess piece in his hand into the chess box, and said, "Let's play the end game tomorrow." Shen Wei rolled his eyes on Ye Jianqing, smiled at the master and apprentice, and went out to tell Mingzhu Bring in the supper.

"Uncle, what's the matter with your neck?" Ye Jianqing asked after he left.Gu Su put away the chess pieces one by one, and said calmly, "It's okay. It's just a small cut." "Is it Gu Tingrang?" Ye Jianqing asked.Instead, Gu Su glanced at him and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, have you finished reading the medical book I arranged before I left?"

Ye Jianqing choked, and didn't remember this at all.Seeing his blank eyes, Gu Su snorted coldly: "I'll test you. If you are bitten by a three-foot-long white-lipped bamboo-leaf green, how can you treat it?" Ye Jianqing was still staring at his neck Seeing that he turned his head, his voice was clear and his movements were smooth, he felt relieved, and said casually: "To suck the poisonous blood, you can take a cold compress from the corner snow in May." Gu Su's complexion turned dark, and he said solemnly: "If you don't Don't talk nonsense when studying, medical skills are used to save people, not to bluff people. How can there be snow in May?" Ye Jianqing asked back: "There is no snow in May, so how can there be snakes in the twelfth lunar month?"

All the snakes hibernate in the twelfth lunar month.Gu Suben also came up with the question casually, but he took advantage of this small loophole and was caught off guard for a while.Shen Wei came in from the outside while clapping, and said with a smile: "Amei, you are not an easy apprentice." Behind him was a group of beauties and cunning boys, who filed in with wine and vegetables in their hands.

This man had a thick face and a dark heart, and he was once a confidant of Princess Zhen Guo, but he was not injured when the Princess Mansion fell.He got up from the futon on the ground, and said with a sly head, "I'm going outside to find Lanshan girl." Shen Wei stopped him and said, "Nephew Jianqing, take a bite first, there are crabs you like."

September in golden autumn is the season to eat crabs.Once upon a time in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, the happiest thing for the young master was when he could eat crabs.In those few months of each year, I don't know how many "Golden Armor Generals" will die in Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion.

A large pot of Huadiao steamed red crabs was served, and the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of meat rushed to the face.The servants placed a set of silver "eight crabs" in front of the three of them.Shen Wei pounded and peeled carefully, first took apart a female crab with creamy soft flesh and thick flesh, put it on a plate, and brought it to Gu Su's hand.Gu Su glanced at it, concentrated on dismantling the crab in his hand, and handed it to Ye Jianqing.Shen Wei's expression changed suddenly, but he restrained his expression in an instant, looked at Ye Jianqing with a smile and said, "Eat more."

Ye Jianqing only ate two crabs, then put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands with the chrysanthemums in the bamboo basket, and ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables under Gu Su's persuasion.Shen Wei saw that he was annoyed at her silence, so she greeted him and said, "How is Nephew Jianqing's food? Does it still suit your taste?"

Ye Jianqing raised his head, and said: "Master Shen called me wrong, I'm just a commoner, I don't dare to be a nephew or something. This dish is so-so, the crucian carp is spiny, the crab is cold, the jade shoots are sour, and purple. Su Wuxiang."

Both Gu Su and Shen Wei were stunned.

Ye Jianqing bowed and saluted before walking out of Meiwu.Xiaolanshan in the corridor was putting together a hollowed out crab shell bit by bit, muttering: "My gutless son is back again." Ye Jianqing walked over to her and asked her why Gu Su came to Suxin Come on, when will they go back and so on.

Arashiyama had to say one by one.It turned out that after Zhao's house in Tianshui Hutong was sealed off by Tiqi, Sihai Casino was raided again. They originally settled down in the Beijing branch of the Beggar Clan.Li Sihai was trying to find a hiding place for them, when suddenly Shen Wei sent someone to invite Gu Su to stay in Suxin Pavilion for a while.Suxin Pavilion has been in the capital for five or sixty years, and its roots are deep. It is great that he is willing to provide shelter, not to mention that he can take the opportunity to collect information, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.So Gu Su brought Lanshan here.

When Ye Jianqing heard that Gu Su was going to live here for a long time, at one moment he hated it, at another moment he was filled with jealousy, he was speechless in a daze.

In Meiwu, Gu Su personally poured a glass of wine for Shen Wei, and wrote lightly: "The apprentice is wayward and rude, I will apologize to the pavilion master on his behalf." Shen Wei took his hand and said with a smile: "Amei is too out of touch. I've learned the temper of the young master before." Gu Su slid out his fingers deftly, put them in his sleeves quietly, and couldn't catch his eyes with a smile: "It's great that the pavilion master doesn't care about it. I have a little guess. The emperor Before moving the Zhenguo Princess Mansion, I'm afraid I would have thought that I would pay the price of losing the queen of the middle palace. However, the court cannot bear the danger of losing the crown prince. Although the prince has old illnesses, he is the eldest son and has good morals , if you are assisted by loyal people, you may not be able to afford the country. What do you and your lord plan to do in the future?"

Shen Wei smiled with a bit of cruelty: "Ah Mei, why bother to talk to me, I can think of it, you can think of it too. The prince is already frightened. The group of people like King Ning have wolfish ambitions, so they should reflect on themselves and restrain themselves. , but relying on favor, intensified, and walked on the path of nowhere, who can be blamed? The decision of victory or defeat is only between the heartbeat and the inaction."

So Duan Wang can use the current situation to achieve his goal as long as he pushes the flames a little bit?Gu Su knew that Shen Wei's words must be concealed.For example, does King Duan know that Princess Zhen Guo is behind the murder of the queen?For another example, does King Duan, who is a courtier, hold a magic weapon to deal with the prince?Or, what was the last straw that crushed the prince?

Three days after Empress Qi's death, her posthumous title was "Minhui".The Ministry of Rituals decided to send out the funeral in seven days, and the palace held a lot of rituals for seven days in a row.

Gu Tingrang took advantage of the time before lunch to return to the Forbidden Palace's garrison to rest.While waiting for the meal, he sat at the table and couldn't help taking a nap.

In the mist, he seemed to have returned to the ignorant and nasty look he had 30 years ago, curled up in a cemetery in the wilderness at night.A man in white came out from behind the grave with a wind lantern, pushed him and said, "Hey, kid, wake up. You will be eaten by ghosts if you sleep here." He turned over and smacked his lips. : "It's best to eat it."

Later, that person took him from the Saibei desert to the southern Xinjiang wetland, from the coast of the East China Sea to the Silk Road.He was in danger countless times, and he cried and said, "Let me be eaten by ghosts." The man bared his teeth and said, "You are too dirty, and ghosts will have toothache after eating it."

Only the shadow of a lamp is pity, the eyes of thousands of miles are bright; the laughter is the same as before, and Xiao Shu's temples are already spotted.

The sound of rattling boots came from outside the window, and he woke up in a start. He grabbed the silver and the knife on the table and shouted loudly, "Who is outside?"

The sharp edge of the silver knife shone with a cold light, reflecting a face full of wind and frost.
