On the next day, New Year's Eve, Emperor Tianwu finished his last morning court session of the year, and then he couldn't wait to pull Zhang Yuan to Yuehan Palace. oM.
Zhang Yuan was followed by four young eunuchs, each holding a tray with brand new palace dresses on it, all in white. He walked and muttered, "It's New Year's Day. If the emperor wants to get close to Concubine Yun and buy something good, he should give her something festive. Who wears white clothes during the New Year? Red is so good, pink is so good."
Tianwu waved his hand, "No, no, Pianpian doesn't like that. When have you ever seen her wearing red, green and heavy makeup? She prefers white, which is pure and beautiful, and best suits her watery temperament." When Tianwu thought of Concubine Yun, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he asked Zhang Yuan, "Today is New Year's Eve, do you think Pianpian will see me?"
Zhang Yuan wanted to say no, but it was not a good idea to discourage his master during the New Year. He thought about it and said seriously, "The possibility is fifty-fifty!"
"Then you might as well not say anything." Tianwu rolled his eyes at Zhang Yuan and stopped talking to him. He just quickened his pace and almost ran to the gate of Yuehan Palace. When he stopped, he was panting heavily and said, "I can't do it anymore. I wouldn't be panting like this a few years ago. My body is obviously not as good as before in the past two years." He said this in a very loud voice, almost using his internal energy to shout.
Zhang Yuan felt so ashamed. He was so tired but still shouted so loudly. Your Majesty, are you kidding me? This was really insulting to Concubine Yun's brain.
He couldn't help but remind her, "It's not that exaggerated. The princess left you so many tonics before she left. I watched you take them every day."
Tianwu thought this dead eunuch was too talkative. He raised his hand and banged on the door of Yuehan Palace many times, while knocking and shouting, "Pianpian, open the door! It's the New Year, I... I'm here to give you new clothes, all newly made, all white, I guarantee you'll like them! Please open the door for me, let's stop making trouble, okay?"
The knocks on the door frightened the palace maids in Yuehan Palace. They were used to this kind of scene, as Emperor Wu would come every New Year's Eve. But they had the confidence to not open the door in the past, after all, Concubine Yun was there to support them. However, this year Concubine Yun was not in the palace at all, and the palace maids were all terrified, fearing that Emperor Tianwu would not be able to hold back and burst through the door. If Concubine Yun's departure from the palace was exposed, none of them would survive.
The people outside were still calling out, and the knocking on the door continued, but each time it was slower and slower, and each time it was weaker and weaker. Finally, Emperor Tianwu stopped knocking, but leaned against the palace door, and sighed heavily through the door. Everyone heard what Tianwu said, "You are getting older every year, and the two children are not in Beijing this year. Pianpian, I know you are bored, so I am here to play with you. Can you open the door?"
Unfortunately, the gate of Yuehan Palace is like an ice wall, not only is it as hard as ice, but it is also extremely cold. ..
Tianwu smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and signaled the eunuchs behind him to put the clothes at the palace gate, and then said, "Forget it, I come here every month to ask for this, and you have never been soft-hearted; it's okay, it doesn't matter whether we meet or not, as long as you are still in this palace, my heart is warm." After that, he turned around and said to Zhang Yuan, "You wait here for a while. If someone comes out to get clothes, ask them if Pianpian is doing well recently. I want to walk alone, so don't follow me."
Zhang Yuan watched Tianwu walk away with his hands behind his back. His back was no longer as tall and straight as it was a few years ago, but he had a slight hunchback. His steps were no longer as powerful as they were a few years ago, but he was a little staggering. His nose felt sore, and he quickly turned his head away and stopped looking at Tianwu. Only after Tianwu walked away did he reach out to knock on the door of Yuehan Palace and shouted, "Sisters, open the door and take the clothes in. The emperor has already walked away."
The gate of Yuehan Palace opened a little, and two palace maids squeezed out, quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and went back inside, ignoring Zhang Yuan. Soon, the gate of Yuehan Palace slammed shut again. Zhang Yuan sighed and waved to the four eunuchs around him, "You should go back first, I also want to walk by myself."
He walked to a quiet place and said to the air, "Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard flashed out and stood in front of him. Zhang Yuan asked the man, "Is everything okay in the east?"
The secret guard nodded, "With His Majesty the Seventh Prince protecting you, it's fine. It's just..." The secret guard paused, and then said, "Eunuch, do you still not want to tell the Emperor?"
Zhang Yuan nodded heavily, "You must not tell the emperor! Now that we know that Concubine Yun has left the palace, we must keep our mouths shut and never tell anyone again. Your Highness the Seventh and Ninth Princes are not in the capital right now. If the emperor goes after Concubine Yun again, will the Dashun Empire still exist?"
This year's New Year's Eve is destined to see people busying around.
Xuan Tianhua's team was already close to Fuzhou, and they only needed to walk for another half a day to enter Fuzhou City. The Fuzhou prefect had already sent people to meet them outside the city, and the two sides met three days ago.
"You lose. The emperor loves that little eunuch Zhang Yuan the most, not His Highness the Ninth Prince. Drink!" Under a dead tree beside the path, a group of followers sat in a circle, with a fire in the middle and a half-cooked duck on the fire. The one who spoke was a woman, wearing a white winter robe and a bamboo hat. She was holding a wine pot in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, and she carelessly pushed the wine bowl to a young man next to her. "Drink."
The young man expressed his dissatisfaction, "Everyone in the world knows that the emperor favors the ninth prince the most. Even your highness is inferior to him. How did he lose?"
The woman waved her hands and said, "If I say you lose, then you lose. I have first-hand information here. You know, I have spies in the palace. The old emperor is always accompanied by that eunuch wherever he goes. Even when he sleeps, the young eunuch has to watch outside. When have you ever seen him take the Ninth Prince with him wherever he goes?"
The man was speechless, and after a pause he continued, "The one who follows the emperor everywhere must be a eunuch."
"That's different." The woman continued, "The old emperor has been flirting with that young eunuch all day long. Their relationship is extraordinary. They are not ordinary eunuchs. Just drink it."
The young man was speechless, wondering where did the Seventh Prince find such a great god? How dare he say anything?
Someone nearby poked him and said, "Just drink if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? It would be great if you could have a few more sips of wine in this cold weather."
The woman nodded, "Yes, it is a bit cold. I heard that the weather in the East Realm is better than that in the North Realm. I wonder if the snow in the North Realm has already fallen to my knees." As she spoke, she tilted her head to glance at Xuan Tianhua who was sitting far away. The other party was also looking at her helplessly. The woman also took a sip of wine and sighed, "It's a torture to follow the Seventh Prince out. I'm not even allowed to eat more meat."
A soldier quickly cut a leg of the roasted duck and handed it to her, saying, "Bu Cong has been in the East for many years, and the soldiers here are basically his old subordinates. Although Bu Cong has fled for fear of crime, generally speaking, people in the barracks value friendship. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to integrate into the army this time."
The woman got angry when she heard this. "It's hard to integrate, does that mean those people don't listen to the Seventh Prince? Then let's do it. At worst, we can kill all the people who oppose us. I want to see who dares to say no!"
As soon as she made this bold statement, everyone looked at her. After being stunned for a while, they all clasped their fists and said with admiration, "Brother Tian is so domineering!"
Xuan Tianhua finally couldn't listen any more, so he stood up and walked over here. When he got to the girl, he grabbed her arm and dragged her away from here, almost forcefully, until he walked back to where he was sitting before letting her go. As the girl was dragged away by him, she turned back and shouted to the young men around the fire, "Let's continue drinking after we enter Fuzhou City tonight!"
At this moment, Xuan Tianhua's heart was broken and he couldn't break down any more. He looked at the woman helplessly and said, "Mother, what on earth did you tell them? And Brother Tian, where did Brother Tian get this?"
That woman was none other than Concubine Yun. When Xuan Tianhua asked, she proudly told him, "My last name is Yun, and Yun is in the sky, so I told them that my last name is Tian. As for why they call me Brother Tian, it's because they think I'm easygoing and straightforward, and I'm loyal to my friends. And, Hua'er, today is New Year's Eve, and it's quite tiring to travel on New Year's Eve."
Xuan Tianhua spread his hands, "It's already hard work, who asked you to come with me? It would be better if you just stayed in the palace honestly. You don't want to be a good queen, but you have to be the big brother. What can I say about you?"
Princess Yun also spread her hands like him and told him very seriously, "The palace is not good, and the queen is not good either. The happiest years of my life were when I was in the village, which had nothing to do with the palace."
In one sentence, Xuan Tianhua's words that he wanted to persuade her were blocked at the tip of his tongue, and turned into a silent sigh. Yes, Concubine Yun was not happy in the palace, and he was her son. If he had to choose, he would rather Concubine Yun leave the palace, even if it was just bragging and drinking with others, it was better than being locked up in Yuehan Palace.
He stretched out his arms to embrace Yun Fei, tightly, and then let go. "As long as you are happy." He said, "As long as you are happy."
In the courtyard of the only magic house in Fengxuesongzhou, seventeen girls were standing in two rows. The oldest of these girls was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was barely ten years old. They were wearing colorful clothes and were listening obediently to a woman in front of them who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
"The so-called illusion is a performance form in which the performer constantly changes to achieve an unpredictable and surprising experience for the audience. Some people call it a miracle. You each have an ice flower in your hand. Now, follow the method I taught you before and let the flames rise from these ice flowers!"
The woman's voice was so bewitching that it made people feel as if they were in a fantasy world, so much so that they all believed that fire could rise from ice.
The girls followed the basic knowledge they had learned before and kept changing their gestures, trying to make the ice flowers catch fire. Unfortunately, after an incense stick of time had passed, there was still no sign of fire.
The woman shook her head in disappointment and whispered to a middle-aged man beside her, "It's no good just picking someone to make up the numbers. This year, that's it. Next year, we must find some qualified people and train them from a young age."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girls suddenly cried out in surprise. She was stunned and looked over, only to see a beautiful girl in green holding her ice flower in both hands. On top of the ice flower, a cluster of flames suddenly ignited.
