Chapter 60: Five Colors Thread, Around the King's Heart
Ji Qingwu came back from the Princess Mansion, entered the main room of Anju Garden, and saw Mrs. Qiao tying a colorful silk thread to Jiujiu's wrist.
She remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, and Lin'an had always had a custom of wearing five-color threads.
After tying the knot, Mrs. Qiao said: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Bringing this can ward off evil spirits and prevent the five poisons from getting close to you."
Tweeted and shook her chubby hand, like it Very sweetly, he said sweetly: "Thank you to my grandmother who tweets the most."
Mrs. Qiao hugged her and said: "Put it on, quickly follow Grandma Li to the school."
Jiujiu turned around and saw Ji Qingwu, so she ran over and grabbed her skirt and said coquettishly : "Aniang sent me there. Aniang hasn't sent me there for a long time. "
Ji Qingwu said with a smile: "When Chiujiu gets off school, can I pick you up? "
The little girl thought for a moment, school is the happiest time of the day. At that time, I could still see my grandma, which made me extremely happy.
The mother and daughter hooked up, Ji Qingwu repeatedly promised that he would pick her up, and then Jiujiu walked away without looking back.
When the child and Aunt Li disappeared, Ji Qingwu also stretched out his wrist, pursed his lips, and said in a dissatisfied voice: "Mom, where is mine?"
You are such an adult, and you still follow me Like a child.
Ms. Qiao patted her finger and smiled lovingly: "My dear, I can still leave you alone."
Then, he took out a box from behind, with a few contents in it. The five-color strands are made, and there are a few balls of colored silk threads.
Ji Qingwu picked one, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "Mom, please teach me how to braid this."
The five-color thread is also called the thread of longevity.
She wanted to knit one herself and put it on the little one in the palace to protect him safely and smoothly.
She spent the whole afternoon in Qiao's room, learning how to braid five-color strands.
There are many patterns that can be braided. The simplest is to form a rope into two strands. It can also be embellished with gold ornaments, and can also be folded into figures, sun, moon, stars, birds and beasts.
She took five colored threads: green, yellow, white, red and black, took them apart and braided them, and repeated several times before braiding one thread. She almost missed the time to pick up the tweet.
Go to the study door.
A few children were walking out talking and laughing, but there was no sign of the little girl. As usual, she would be the first to rush out of the door.
Ji Qingwu came up and asked, and they said with a smile that Jiujiu had drawn a page full of little ducks in calligraphy class, and after being discovered by the master, he was being detained for copying.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Ji Qingwu asked again: "Do you know where His Highness Yuan Heng is?"
Before the child in front of him could answer, a voice pretending to be indifferent came from behind.
“What do you want from my highness?”
Ji Qingwu turned around and saw the handsome little guy. He was taller than the last time he saw him. , and the outline of his small face is more similar to that of his father.
He is growing up well.
She laughed, her eyebrows curved and she said: "Jiujiu is studying in the upper study. I heard that His Highness often helps her review her books and practice calligraphy. I want to express my gratitude."
Yuan Heng raised his chin and looked proud, but said indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning."
Ji Qingwu squatted down and took it from the green purse embroidered with pink lotus that he carried with him. He took out something, held it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to him.
"How about this as a thank you gift?"
Yuan Heng lowered his eyes and looked at her hand, which was a five-color strand.
Exceptionally simple and plain.
It's not like the palace who likes to use gold thread, and also wears gold ornaments and jewelry, but this look is very unique, not an ordinary knot, like a circle of small triangular rice dumplings.
The young eunuch who served Yuan Heng came forward and said, "Miss Ji, your Highness doesn't like to wear these ornaments. Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially sent a complete set, and His Highness didn't even look at them."
Although she put a lot of effort into making this thing up, she can't force her children with her own preferences.
Ji Qingwu suddenly said: "If you don't like it, then you won't..."
"Talk too much!" Yuan Heng scolded with a stern face and sharp eyes.
Ji Qingwu swallowed the rest of his words. The little guy was quite fierce, very fatherly, and he could predict his majesty when he grows up.
Yuan Heng quickly took away the five-color thread from her palm, his black eyes shining brightly.
"I didn't tell you, Xiao Shunzi is ignorant." Then, he looked at the open space aside.
Ji Qingwu's eyes also brightened, and he said softly: "Is it okay if I put it on for Your Highness?"
She knelt down, took his little hand, and adjusted the five-color strand to the appropriate length.
Yuan Heng kept looking at her face, his eyes focused, and the corners of his mouth turned up, but he pressed them down again.
After going back and forth several times, the corner of the mouth seemed to have its own will, and the arc became wider and wider.
My heart is filled with uncontrollable joy.
After Ji Qingwu tied it up, he raised his head and looked at him levelly. Yuan Heng quickly pursed his lips into a thin line.
After all, he was a child and couldn't hide his emotions deeply enough. She couldn't help but poke his little face.
There was a feeling of being poked on his face. Yuan Heng opened his eyes wide and said, "You are so presumptuous again."
She not only poked his face, but also scratched his He lowered his chin and said: "Your Highness is happy in his heart, so he laughs. Why do you have to suppress it?"
Yuan Heng's little mouth is full of truth.
"Father said that those who are emperors and kings receive their orders from heaven. Heaven is ruthless and there should be no obvious love or hatred."
The King of Chu loved thin waists, and many people died of starvation in the palace. Ji Qingwu nodded understandingly.
If someone is aware of the emperor's likes and dislikes, it is better to flatter the emperor, but it is very dangerous for those who are interested in plotting against him.
Qinzheng Hall, dozens of meters away.
Lu Juan stood in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, twenty-six officials have been reprimanded one after another for the disaster relief corruption case. Do we still want to investigate further?"
He thought about these days of investigation. Come out with the roster.
After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Many aristocratic families in Lin'an City are also involved."
Emperor Wu Su held a secret memorial in his hand and said with an indifferent expression: "The roots of the aristocratic families have long been rotten. This Let’s settle the case first.”
Lu Juan lowered his head, knowing that the emperor would not let these people go so easily. He wanted to get rid of the roots, but he didn’t know when he was going to settle the matter.
Emperor Wu Su waved the memorial and threw it on the desk.
"Give me a seat and serve tea."
Li Yuzong led several palace servants in to wait on him, and the royal door was opened wide.
Lu Juan drank a cup of tea and found Emperor Wu Su's eyes falling on his sleeves.
In addition to being monarchs and ministers, the two are also cousins. Lu Juan has had a close relationship with the emperor since he was a child.
At this time, he was no longer so restrained when it came to political affairs.
Lu Juan glanced at it and smiled grandly: "Your Majesty, this is a five-color thread made by the minister's wife. It is said to represent good luck in the five directions and can ensure the minister's safety."
When he thought of Ji Qingrong's gentle expression while weaving silk threads, his smile grew even wider.
Asked with a bit of ostentation: "Didn't the emperor receive it?"
Li Yuzong stood aside and continued with a smile: "The prince and his wife are really in love, this morning the harem The empress still has The young masters have sent over a dozen five-color threads, and the one sent by Concubine Wei is still hung with a golden dragon pendant. The servants can’t take their eyes away when they see it.”
Lu Juan looked at the emperor’s body and wrists. , and did not see the five-color ray.
Emperor Wu Su looked far away.
"Go and send Yuan Heng over."
Li Yuzong looked outside and saw figures one large and one small. He let out a sigh in his heart and quickly took the order and went out.
