Step does carriage sway, across the winding veranda, gradually arrives at the Empress Dowager dwelling place. 步辇摇摇晃晃,穿过曲折游廊,逐渐来到太后的居处。 Although Lasting Happiness Palace the Emperor harem like that custom is not stern, but where does not have to go loosely, the man definitely cannot easily pass in and out, locks the palace maid in deep palace to be many. 长乐宫虽然不似天子的后宫那般规矩森严,但也没有宽松到哪里去,男人肯定是不能轻易进出,锁在深宫之中的宫女很多。 The people have the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, the long-term nature causes these palace maids to yearn for the life outside wall depressing very much, does not know that heard King Su Heir Apparent of peerless grace and talent came, the palace maid who in today's veranda roads takes a walk were many, saw that Xu Buling car(riage) carriage after then raises slightly a ritual to stand in the roadside waits , in the past, looks at several to talk in whispers secretly. 人都有七情六欲,长期的性压抑导致这些宫女很向往墙外的生活,也不知是不是听说风华绝代的肃王世子过来了,今天的游廊甬道之间走动的宫女多了很多,见到许不令的车辇经过便欠身一礼站在路边等待,过去后才偷偷瞄几眼窃窃私语。 The Xu Buling informer understands, can actually hear these young palace maids to say anything: 许不令耳目通达,其实能听见这些个小宫女说什么: „Is this King Su Heir Apparent?” “这就是肃王世子？” „Yes...... long real handsome, if Empress Dowager kindly gave Heir Apparent Xu me conveniently well......” “是啊……长的真俊,要是太后随手把我赏给许世子就好了……” „Has what spring dream...... to hear Heir Apparent Xu strength such as dragon tiger, fierce very much, you do not draw several few two meat thinly, dies on the bed carefully......” “做什么春梦……听说许世子力如龙虎,猛的很,你瘦不拉几没几两肉,小心死在床上……” „Dies on the bed I am also glad......” “死在床上我也乐意……” ...... …… The Xu Buling whole face heavy line, is very helpless, using temporarily as praises him. 许不令满脸黑线,对此十分无奈,权当是夸他了。 Step carriage arrives at the palace that the Empress Dowager bedroom occupies to stop, then saw distantly wears Empress Dowager of gorgeous palace skirt to stand under the upturned eave, the reason of home has not worn the phoenix coronet, but is a gold hairpin oblique cutting in Lingyun hair buns, gold hairpin phoenix held a grain of pearl, both hands is folding to place the waist, the solemn noble air in bone cannot deliberately act then to show. 步辇来到太后寝居的宫殿停下,遥遥便看到身着华美宫裙的太后站在飞檐之下,居家的缘故没有佩戴凤冠,而是一根金簪斜插在凌云髻之间,金簪凤首衔着一粒明珠,双手叠放在腰间,骨子里的端庄贵气不需刻意动作便展现了出来。 Empress Dowager once was one of the Xuanhe Eight Beauties, shared the honor with Xu Buling his mother, in the words world of monowheel appearance really did not lose anyone, now age just right stature even more graceful bearing, in addition position was aloof in the world, with a nearby palace maid contrast simply was the space underground difference. 太后曾是宣和八魁之一,和许不令他娘齐名,单轮容貌的话世上真不输谁,如今年龄正好身材越发风韵,加上地位的超然于世,和旁边的宫女一对比简直就是天上地下的区别。 Xu Buling takes the younger generation, is naturally impossible to stare at Empress Dowager to size up up and down, before arriving at the palace pavilion at a moderate pace, lifted the hand good the younger generation ritual: „Empress Dowager.” 许不令作为晚辈,自然不可能盯着太后上下打量,不紧不慢走到宫阁前,抬手行了个晚辈礼:“太后。” The Empress Dowager show/unfolds face smiles, very amiable lifting hand cancelled the check: 太后展颜一笑,很是随和的抬手勾了勾: „Little Buling, coming, is one of us, does not use so politely.” “小不令,过来,都是自家人,不用这般客气。” Little Buling...... 小不令…… Xu Buling looks at the tread to blink, always thought that the name was too affectionate, thinks: „Empress Dowager called me Buling then, un...... Little Xu was also good.” 许不令看着地面眨了眨眼睛,总觉得称呼太亲昵了些,想了想:“太后叫我不令即可,嗯……小许也行。” Empress Dowager turns around to move toward the brilliantly illuminated living room, the manner is compatible, then like ordinary families' elder relatives: „In front of bystander to speak the custom then, does not use in secret so estranged. Xiao Ting comes each time is the crying father shouts mother, before still swayed back and forth in the garden, I find it very interesting actually......” 太后转身走向灯火通明的客厅,举止亲和,便如同寻常人家的长辈亲戚:“当着外人面讲规矩即可,私下里不用这般生分。萧庭每次过来都是哭爹喊娘,以前还在庭院里打滚儿,我倒是觉得挺有意思……” Step full, skirt hem brings to have the ripples of fermentation intermittently. 步履盈盈,裙摆带起阵阵颇具酝酿的涟漪。 The Empress Dowager both legs are slender, is higher than Madam Lu, but the Xu Buling stature selects high, walks raises slightly in behind slightly. 太后双腿修长,比陆夫人高一些,不过许不令身材更高挑,走在背后还是得稍微欠身。 Xu Buling walked several steps, the light fragrant wind lingering tip of the nose, feels is a little irritable, seeing Empress Dowager is impolite, he naturally did not have politely, the figure followed to walk straightly. 许不令走了几步,淡淡香风萦绕鼻尖,感觉有点别扭,见太后不客气,他自然也就没客气了,身形笔直跟着行走。 Empress Dowager was saying some gossips, Xu Buling in line with the confession of Madam Lu, only listens not to answer, occasionally un, with puzzle. 太后说着些家长里短,许不令本着陆夫人的交代,只听不答,偶尔嗯一声,和闷葫芦似的。 Empress Dowager detected that back has not responded, is excessive, raises the cheeks slightly: „Buling, didn't you speak? Shy inadequate? Heard that your courage is big.” 太后察觉背后没有回应,偏过头来,微微扬起脸颊:“不令,你怎么不说话？害羞不成？听说你胆子不小啊。” Xu Buling inspires, brings back the corners of the mouth to smile under: „Un...... bad expression.” 许不令吸了口气,勾起嘴角笑了下:“嗯……不善言辞。” „Hehe ~...... the man is more natural.” “呵呵呵~……男人要大方些。” Empress Dowager selected the tall and slender eyebrow, provoked laughter by these words actually, arrives in the main hall, then under the table is implicated, lifted the hand to pat nearby chair. 太后挑了挑细长眉毛,倒是被这句话逗笑了,走到正厅之中,便在桌旁坐下,抬手拍了拍旁边的椅子。 The family/home of this way of the world aristocracy eats meal divides the table generally, several small cases are placed in the room, sits before a small case respectively dines together, only then in civilian common people family/home about table. 这世道王侯之家吃饭一般都是分桌的,数个小案摆在屋里,各自坐在一张小案前聚餐,只有平民百姓的家中才是合桌。 What in the Empress Dowager room puts is a plan, is not very big, takes around the tablecloth to dangle by the silk fabrics. On the table the food are not many, the pinnacle is fine, several candlesticks place all around corner, in the main hall the ray is very full. 太后的屋里放的是一张方案,不是很大,以绸缎作为桌布四面垂下。桌上菜肴不多,却极致精美,几个烛台放在四周角落,正厅中光线很足。 Un...... also calculates the candlelight dinner. 嗯……也算烛光晚餐。 Two people eat meal, dividing the table is actually a little strange, Xu Buling thinks that has not said anything, sits respectfully in the left hand of Empress Dowager, the smile said: „Is indebted Empress Dowager to receive cordially.” 两个人吃饭,分桌却是有点奇怪,许不令想了想也没有说什么,在太后的左手边正襟危坐,微笑道:“承蒙太后款待。” Empress Dowager has the stance of elder very much, received the tableware from the Qiao'e hand, placed the Xu Buling front, the leaning head looked, supple sound said: 太后很有长辈的架势,从巧娥手中接过餐具,放在了许不令的面前,偏头看了,柔声道: „Weather is cold, extends the foot.” “天气冷,把脚伸进来。” Xu Buling slightly has doubts obviously, lowers the head to size up one, discovered that Empress Dowager put under together with skirt hem the slender both legs the table together. He thinks, extended the leg, discovered that under table nice and warm, is putting a warming stove, above has the copper cover, will step on will not soak the feet above, will be very comfortable. 许不令略显疑惑,低头打量一眼,才发现太后将修长双腿连同裙摆一起伸进了桌子下面。他想了想,也把腿伸了进去,才发现桌下面暖烘烘,放着个暖炉,上面有铜罩,踩在上面也不会烫脚,很是舒服。 Empress Dowager smiles in delight, explained in a soft voice: The person who „Lasting Happiness Palace is occupied by are not many, Your Majesty was always thrifty, burns the Land Dragon too to waste then stops. I grow up that side Huainan, is sensitive to cold inborn, does the artisan then find out such method, Buling must not see?” 太后眉眼弯弯,轻声解释:“长乐宫住的人不多,圣上一向节俭,烧地龙太浪费便停了。我在淮南那边长大,天生怕冷,工匠便想出这么个法子,不令应当没见过吧？” Xu Buling has seen almost, but has not truly seen in this way of the world, gently nod: „Truly ingenious, this artisan must praise well is.” 许不令见过差不多的,不过确实没在这个世道见过,轻轻点头:“确实巧妙,这工匠得好好嘉奖才是。” Empress Dowager has not made the palace maid serve in side, takes up warm good the wine pot personally, to Xu Buling but actually: liquor cup 太后并没有让宫女在旁边伺候,亲自拿起温好的酒壶,给许不令倒了杯酒: „In palace has nothing to do all the year round, if crosses again difficult, then could not stay......” “宫里面长年无事可做,若是过的再艰苦,便呆不下去了……” The clear liquor fluid falls into the cup, the silk threads wine sends out, Qing will of the people spleen. 清亮酒液落入杯中,丝丝缕缕的酒香散发出来,磬人心脾。 The Xu Buling day of death and liquor keep company, even not good this still to like, pulled out sniffing, was slightly accidental: „What liquor is this?” 许不令终日与酒做伴,即便不好这口也喜欢上了,抽了抽鼻子,略显意外:“这是什么酒？” In the Empress Dowager eye flashes through one not the cunningness that is easy to detect, then like the strange uncle that the candy successfully entices the baby, the smile said: „Breaks the jade fever, is Great Undertaking Street Sun Family Store sells, is very common.” 太后眼中闪过一丝不易察觉的狡黠,便如同糖果成功勾引到小娃娃的怪蜀黍,微笑道:“断玉烧,就是大业坊孙家铺子卖的,很常见。” The Xu Buling brow is light, shakes the head: „I drank for a year to break the jade fever, the flavor was actually similar, was only this liquor obviously good many.” 许不令眉头轻蹙,摇了摇头:“我喝了一年断玉烧,味道倒是相似,只是这酒明显好的多。” Empress Dowager puts down the wine pot, the sound is supple: „That is natural, common saying ‚liquor more puts alcohol’, after good wine that the years precipitates, is better than the new liquor flavor that just came out.” 太后放下酒壶,声音柔婉:“那是自然,常言‘酒越放越醇’,历经岁月沉淀的佳酿,自是比刚出来的新酒味道好。” Xu Buling approves to this actually, is not only the liquor, the person is also the same, Aunt Lu obviously has many of flavor compared with the female of age of amomum cardamomum. He carries the wine glass to smell, the rich wine Qing will of the people spleen, nods: 许不令对这个倒是认同,不光是酒,人也一样,陆姨明显就比豆蔻之龄的女子有味道的多。他端起酒杯闻了闻,浓郁酒香磬人心脾,点了点头: „This Old Sun head, hides the imperial city to supply unexpectedly especially, I of owing consider the business daily......” “这个孙老头,竟然还藏着皇城特供,亏的我天天照顾生意……” Empress Dowager covered the mouth to smile two, shakes the head: „No, the Sun Family Store business has been good, one small shop, fermented can drink to several people many again, buys did not have, sometimes first emperor wants to drink unable to buy. In the past before I entered the palace, my elder brother bought especially, originally was the preparation first emperor came my time takes, afterward...... did not have open/unseal in any case. So many years delivered several altars/jars to go out, but also had two altars/jars. It is estimated that in the world also only then these two altar/jar ten years of aging, does not know that lets out is what price.” 太后掩嘴笑了两声,摇了摇头:“非也,孙家铺子一直生意好,就一间小铺子,酿再多又能给几个人喝,买完就没了,有时候先帝想喝都买不着。当年我入宫前,家兄特地买了些,本是准备先帝来我这儿的时候拿出来,后来……反正就是没开封。这么多年送了几坛出去,还剩下两坛。估计世上也只有这两坛十年陈酿,也不知放出去是个什么价钱。” Xu Buling reveals several points of seriousness, carried the wine glass to hear carefully, nods: „Perhaps priceless, Empress Dowager hid so many years, was used to receive cordially me really to waste.” 许不令露出几分郑重,端起酒杯仔细闻了下,点了点头:“恐怕千金难买,太后藏了这么多年,用来款待我实在浪费了。” Empress Dowager shakes the head: „I usually do not drink, cannot drink the flavor, this nice wine puts is wasting, if Little Buling likes......” 太后摇了摇头:“我平日不喝酒,也喝不出味道,这好酒放着更浪费,小不令若是喜欢的话……” Xu Buling stares, just prepared to lift the hand rejection, where thinks that Empress Dowager next is: 许不令一愣,刚准备抬手拒绝,哪想到太后下一句就是: „Gives me the writing poetry word, I give to you.” “给我作首诗词,我就送给你。” The Empress Dowager left hand supports the cheeks, the elbow is placing on the desktop, stretches the body forward slightly, the smile is very compatible, but also blinks. 太后左手撑着脸颊,手肘放在桌面上,微微探身,笑容很亲和,还眨了眨眼睛。 Those images and scenes, actually really pleasant. 此情此景,倒是真的赏心悦目。 Xu Buling has not thought that Empress Dowager is waiting for him here, vacant moment, then puts down the wine glass, said earnestly: 许不令没想到太后在这里等着他,茫然了片刻,便放下酒杯,认真道: „Empress Dowager, I was dull-witted since childhood do not pass the poetry together, that «Wind toward Dust Fragrant flowers Completely» is I makes the servant buy, this liquor it seems like not had the good fortune to enjoy something.” “太后,我自幼愚钝不通诗词一道,那首《风往尘香花已尽》是我让下人买的,这酒看来无福消受了。” In the Empress Dowager foreheads reveals several points of disappointment, sighed spookily: „Isn't a capital good?” 太后眉宇间露出几分失望,幽幽叹了口气:“一首都不行？” The vigor of this hidden bitterness, has one to spell with Madam Lu. 这幽怨的劲儿,和陆夫人有一拼。 Pitifully only Xu Buling only eats Madam Lu this set, does not catch cold to others, shakes the head: 只可惜许不令只吃陆夫人这套,对其他人不感冒,摇了摇头: „I will not really write poetry, Empress Dowager must feel embarrassed me not.” “我真的不会作诗,太后莫要为难我了。” Empress Dowager sizes up the Xu Buling look earnestly, long time, doubtful opens the mouth: „Really can't?” 太后认真打量许不令的眼神,良久,才半信半疑的开口:“真的不会？” „I, if will write poetry, cooked oneself with the iron saucepan!” “我若是会作诗,就用铁锅把自己炖了！” Aperture that Xu Buling vows solemnly, least bit not empty. 许不令信誓旦旦的开口,半点不虚。 Empress Dowager hears this saying, „pū —” smiled to make noise, sits straight the body, shook the head to tease: „Boils exactly, but torture, you as solemn King Su Heir Apparent, where my dare to cook you......, but you cannot deceive my elder, if told the lie, do not blame me to ask you to do accounts.” 太后听见这话,“噗—”的笑出声,坐直了身体,摇头打趣:“活煮可是酷刑,你身为堂堂肃王世子,我哪里敢把你炖了……嗯,不过你可不能骗我这长辈,若是说假话,可别怪我找你算账。” Xu Buling will not write poetry, the poem is to copy, he fears anything: „Empress Dowager spoke discreetly, if I will write poetry, whatever Empress Dowager punishes.” 许不令本就不会作诗,诗是抄的,他怕个什么:“太后言重了,我若是会作诗,任凭太后发落。” In the Empress Dowager double pupil reveals several points of disappointment, must give up, making the palace maid bring two altar/jar aging, gave Xu Buling. 太后双眸中露出几分失望,只得作罢,让宫女把两坛陈酿拿了过来,送给了许不令。 Xu Buling turned down several times, but the Empress Dowager words export naturally unable to receive, shove around accepted finally. 许不令婉拒了几次,可太后话出了口自然不会收回去,推来推去最终还是收下了。 Then eats meal, but had not said at the session again anything is special, Empress Dowager asked, Xu Buling answered, deliberately avoided the matter between deliberation hall and Vassal King, said was the common gossips. 接下来就是吃饭,不过席间并没有再说什么特别的,太后问,许不令答,刻意避开了朝堂与藩王之间的事儿,说的都是寻常的家长里短。 Xu Buling first time with Empress Dowager upfront contact, no feeling besides pleasant, stayed half double-hour, after eating to the heart's content, then sets out to say goodbye, held two altar/jar liquor to have palace wall...... 许不令还是第一次和太后正面接触,除了赏心悦目之外没什么感觉,也就呆了半个时辰,酒足饭饱后便起身告辞,抱着两坛酒出了宫城……
