Chapter 159 Liu Ting came to the door
Although the queen mother was sad that her son made this plan at a young age, she also understood that her son damaged his body when he was young, and he was not a long-lived person.
In the past few years, although he has eaten rare medicinal materials in the world, Emperor Changxing's body is still declining, and he is extremely filial, in order to let the Queen Mother have a peaceful old age, and at the same time, in order to make less blood when the imperial power is alternated, he tried his best to arrange the afterlife.
Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but choke tears in her eyes, but although she understood her son's hard work, because she had been handling government affairs in the court for a long time, she thought that the power would fall into the hands of others in the future, and she felt quite uncomfortable, so she persuaded her son: "As long as you are willing to accept a few concubines and give birth to heirs, your mother has her own way to let the imperial power pass on from your hands, so why bother sticking to others." ”
Emperor Changxing sighed: "If the son is a long-lived man, of course he is willing to personally govern the great country passed down by his ancestors, and he will definitely be able to teach a qualified prince." It's a pity that I am a person who has lived today and does not know if there is a tomorrow, Liu and An's are not fuel-efficient lamps, I might as well leave cleanly, why bother to leave a concern and not look away. ”
Empress Dowager Liu cried and said: "You are worried about leaving a child with many concerns, can't you think about your mother, your mother will be the grandmother of the little emperor in the future, it is better than being the new emperor's uncle." ”
Emperor Changxing said with a smile: "Mother doesn't have to be like this, I have been paying attention to An Shicheng for many years, although he doesn't seem to have any great talent, but he can be literate and martial, and in the future, An's country will be handed over to him, and it will not be difficult to be the king of success." He is a kind and righteous person, and he can be relied on, as long as his mother does not covet power in the future, no matter who becomes the emperor, you will live comfortably. ”
Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "You have such a hard heart, but you refuse to leave a thought for your mother." ”
When Emperor Changxing heard this, he lowered his eyes for a long time, and said indifferently: "Before the son came out of the mother's womb, the father repeatedly poisoned the son to take his life. ”
Empress Dowager Liu felt pain in her heart, her husband had to rely on the Yue family for the throne, but in order to prevent her relatives from becoming bigger, she did everything possible to prevent her from conceiving a baby, and then her son was born, and she also allowed the harem concubines to secretly knife herself, fortunately, her father had already taken precautions, since the birth of his son, there were no heirs born in the harem, and several concubines in front of her husband died in the palace fight in vain, and let her husband stop, but the son's body has also been destroyed.
Empress Dowager Liu knew that her son, who had always been kind and gentle, hated her husband in her heart, but she didn't expect to hate her husband to such an extent.
When it came to this, Empress Dowager Liu had no choice but to nod and say, "That's it, just do what you say." ”
Here Empress Dowager Liu seems to have accepted her fate, but over there Liu Ting entered the palace because of her relationship with the Lu Guogong Mansion.
It turned out that although Liu Xian was dismissed from office and ordered to think about it at home, because Empress Dowager Liu had a dislike with her father and brother in her early years, only the sister-brother relationship with this immature brother was simpler, and what Liu Xian did was certainly selfish, but it was also for her mother and son, so Empress Dowager Liu was afraid that everyone would look down on this younger brother, and she promoted Liu Ting more and more.
If it weren't for Liu Xian's guilty body, it almost made everyone in the capital think that Empress Dowager Liu had the intention of making Liu Ting the queen again.
Liu Ting has been entering the palace frequently recently, and she also saw that Emperor Changxing was weak, and saw that he refused to take a concubine, so her heart in him rested, but looking at the capital, no one could enter her eyes.
At this time, I heard that An Shicheng was going to get engaged, and she hadn't settled here yet, Liu Ting couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart, because this resentment fell on An Shicheng and took a lot of thought, but she felt that An Shicheng was not so unbearable.
In addition, because Empress Dowager Liu loved An Shicheng because her son belonged to An Shicheng, whether it was for herself or for the glory of the Liu family again, she never made the matter of the crown prince clear, but she had the intention to guide Liu Ting, so that Liu Ting believed that An Shicheng was extremely trusted by Emperor Changxing, and he would be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and the title was definitely not something that a prince could dismiss.
Liu Ting knew that because her father sent someone to stab the Duke of Yongping County, she had General Yuan today, and it also made the emperor prepare an important Duke of Lu to win over the military power in the hands of General Yuan, so she became more and more self-proclaimed the great benefactor of the Duke of Lu.
So Liu Ting let people say a word in front of the Duchess of Lu, Liu Ting was also spoiled by the Empress Dowager Liu, she was arrogant in the capital all these years, and she only mentioned it herself, with the love of the Empress Dowager's aunt for herself, the Duke of Lu Guo Mansion would immediately push the previous family affairs, and rush to ask for marriage, where did you think that the Duke of Lu Guo Mansion has always been afraid of the Liu family, and at this time, there is a definite candidate for daughter-in-law, and there is more and more excuse to refuse.
Liu Ting was rejected by Lu Guogong's Mansion twice, and she couldn't help but be furious, feeling a great loss of face, and she was used to being domineering, so she directly led someone to block An Shicheng and asked the reason for refusal.
An Shicheng had never seen such an unruly woman, but he thought that it had nothing to do with him whether she obeyed the rules or not, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he had to turn around and leave.
Seeing him like this, Liu Ting became more and more angry, walked straight to An Shicheng, and said, "If you don't give me a reason today, you don't want to leave here." ”
An Shicheng couldn't help frowning, but seeing that the roads around him were blocked by Liu Ting and others, he had to answer perfunctorily: "The matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, as a child, it is just the intention of respecting the parents." Since the family affair is not successful, I think it is the old man who has no connection. ”
Liu Ting was relieved to surrender An Shicheng today, so although her attitude was a little arrogant, she really looked for it after carefully dressing up, and at this time, seeing An Shicheng's refusal to look at herself, she laughed angrily: "You are really a nerd, but I didn't expect that you would be so daring, could it be that if you look at me, you can't eat you." ”
An Shicheng couldn't help but look up at Liu Ting when he heard this, this Liu Ting is really a rare beauty in the world, no wonder everyone in the capital secretly guessed that she would become the queen.
Thinking of this, An Shicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief for the emperor and the people of the world, fortunately Liu Ting failed to become the queen, if such a frivolous and unruly woman became the queen of a country, the face of the entire Great Chu Dynasty would be lost by her.
Of course, An Shicheng would not say this in front of Liu Ting, he knew that because of the connivance of the Queen Mother, Liu's daughter has been quite majestic in the capital in recent years, and the reputation is also quite poor.
In order to avoid causing trouble, An Shicheng still gave his hand very sincerely: "Let Miss see and laugh, I still have something to do, so I will not accompany you." ”
Liu Ting was a little stunned, she was still very confident in her beauty, where did she think that An Shicheng was so hard-hearted, not at all moved, and there was not even a stunning expression on her face.
This aroused Liu Ting's competitiveness even more, and when Liu Ting came back to her senses, An Shicheng took advantage of her daze and left with her servants.
When Duchess Lu learned of the incident, she hurriedly persuaded her son to hide quickly.
An Shicheng couldn't help sneering: "Why should I be afraid of her, it's hard for her to come to the door with a face to rob people." ”
Duchess Lu Guo sighed: "My stupid son, if you are cowardly and greedy for wealth and nobility, I am afraid that she is really not interested, she is used to being held by the stars, at first glance you are not pretending, naturally feel fresh, I am afraid that I will really come to the door to make trouble, if something really happens, she will be favored by the Queen Mother, in the future, no matter whether you have relatives or not, a will down, can you still resist the will?" ”
An Shicheng was still unconvinced: "The Queen Mother can still force my head." ”
Having said that, after thinking about it, An Shicheng felt that it was better to leave the house temporarily, at least to show his attitude to the world, if the Queen Mother really dared to give a marriage decree, she would definitely be angry.
As soon as An Shicheng left, Liu Ting arrived at Lu Guogong's Mansion behind.
Although the Duchess of Lu Guo received her with a smile on her face, she really looked down on her heart, the daughter of the Liu family is too arrogant, and her family is also a member of the royal family, if you don't hook your little finger, my Lu Guogong Mansion will have to catch up.
Liu Ting didn't talk nonsense with Duchess Lu Guo, and directly wanted to talk to An Shicheng.
Duchess Lu Guo didn't dare to ridicule her very much, but said that her son went out to meet friends in Yiwen.
Liu Ting still didn't believe it, and took someone to search for it, and then she left in a huff.
Duchess Lu Guo said to her husband in private: "The advantages of people are really compared, I only felt that Qiu Ruyi was not good at the rules that day, but now when I see Liu Ting like this, I find that Qiu Ruyi is really good." Amitabha, fortunately, I refused the family affair directly in front of the Queen Mother that day, otherwise this family would never have a peaceful day. ”
Although Lu Guogong didn't say anything, his brows couldn't help frowning, and Liu's relatives were really getting worse and worse.
In fact, Liu Ting has always been quite famous because she is expected to win the queen's throne, but she was directly given by the emperor, which made everyone in the capital laugh, and it was inevitable that they would be unbalanced.
This made Liu Ting quite devastated, fortunately she didn't look down on An Shicheng at that time, and she was quiet in the two, but she didn't expect that she rarely wanted to deign to marry An Shicheng, An Shicheng didn't buy it, and directly refused the family matter in person, which made her unable to swallow this breath, coupled with the influence of the bold style of his Liu sisters and his sisters, so she made such an ugly appearance.
Since she was in the air in the Lu Guogong Mansion, Liu Ting became more and more annoyed, and at this time, someone mentioned Qiu Ruyi in front of Liu Ting, and Liu Ting had an idea in her heart, and took someone directly to Shunyang City.
Qiu Ruyi was still avoiding trouble at home at this time, and when she saw Liu Ting coming, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, she couldn't avoid it, and she met her at home.
Liu Ting looked at Qiu Ruyi coldly, and snorted: "It's just like that, I haven't seen much beauty, and my family is low, marrying into the Lu State Mansion, I really dare to be delusional." (To be continued.) )
