18, the queen's throne
"General, the concubine has never begged the king......"
"Yes! I know what Madame means! I'll take good care of you and you! ”
Sitting beside his wife and holding her hand, Huo Guang promised without hesitation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Donglu clan barely squeezed out a smile, but said: "The concubine doesn't know about the court, but the day before yesterday, Shangguan An came to visit the patient and said something...... General, the Shangguan family wants to send Xijun into the palace, doesn't it? She squeezed her husband's hand and eagerly sought confirmation.
Huo Guang nodded silently, confirming her thoughts.
"General, Xingjun is such a pair of children, the concubine does not ask for anything else, only wants them to be happy and safe, and they will ...... for the rest of their lives," the Donglu clan pleaded even more eagerly.
"I understand!" Putting his wife's hand under the brocade quilt, Huo Guang agreed softly, "I won't let Xijun enter the palace...... At least not at an age when she doesn't understand anything! ”
Dong Lu smiled, smiling reassuringly - Huo Guang's answer let her know that her husband was not perfunctory to her, but really thinking about the future for a pair of grandchildren.
"Xijun is a very sensible child, I'm not worried. The body without disease is weak...... That's the Mandate ......of Heaven," Dong Lu smiled, "I'm only worried about the Shangguan family...... Now, with her husband's words, the concubine is at ease...... Under the Yellow Spring, if she sees Xingjun, the concubine can also make her feel at ease......"
She has been married to Huo Guang for so many years, and she still understands Huo Guang's thoughts, Huo Guang does not like to use her children as bargaining chips.
-- Marriage is always the icing on the cake to make sense.
However, in the Shangguan family, she really can't rest assured, especially recently, she always thinks of some of the words her daughter said before her death, but after thinking about it, it makes him even more uneasy.
Huo Guang quietly listened to his wife babbling about his worries, and looking at his wife's haggard face, he couldn't help but be in a trance, and sadness came from it.
-- It's been almost 30 years in the blink of an eye......
They are a juvenile couple.
Before Huo Qu died of illness, he chose this family affair for him, not a prominent family, but a well-known family, his brother said: "I didn't have a good intention to bring you to Chang'an." Weiyang Palace...... The Son of Heaven is close to the minister...... It's not a worry-free future. If this marriage can make you comfortable...... Give you a real home, and I'll have a little peace of mind......"
His brother said: "The Huns have not been destroyed, why do they have a family? "It's not that he doesn't value his family, it's just that the Huns are uneven, he can't take care of his family anyway, and more importantly, at that time, the imperial court was exhausted, and the military resources were scarce, he was a hussar general, how could he accept such a reward from the emperor?
- Home...... What is Home? He didn't think that the Huo family in Pingyang County, who only left him the memory of hunger and cold, was home, and he couldn't regard the illustrious Gaodi of the champion Hou family as his home...... His home......
Reaching out to hold his wife's hand between his hands, Huo Guang pleaded sadly: "Madam...... Don't go, okay? ”
- Only this woman, who was not very smart and not very beautiful, really gave him a home.
Dong Lu's eyes were full of surprise, and finally, she closed her eyes and smiled, and when she opened her eyes again, her dark eyes were warm, warm, and infinitely compassionate: "Husband...... If the concubine can agree...... How wonderful......"
- She has not asked her husband, so how can her husband ask of her?
-- Birth, old age, sickness and death...... I can't help it......

Putting down the last silk banner with the intention of passing away, the groove of the camphor coffin lid closes the convex edge of the coffin and glides slowly, and finally closes, leaving no gaps.
Xijun's eyes widened, looking at this scene, her eyes were full of fear, and it wasn't until Huo Guang picked her up that she blinked, lay on her grandfather's shoulder, and asked softly, "Father...... The eldest mother is the same as the grandmother, isn't it? ”
"Yes!" Huo Guang closed his eyes, and had no intention of coaxing her with life and death.
"Never come to see us again, talk to us again......" Xijun turned her head to look at the coffin that had been carried out of the main hall by her family, and whispered softly about the meaning of death as she knew it.
“…… Be! Forcibly holding his granddaughter's head, Huo Guang buried his face on her young shoulders and wept silently.
"Eldest Father......" felt the wetness coming from Ma Ge's mourning clothes, Xijun stiffened at a loss, and after a while, she fell on her grandfather's shoulder, and for some reason, tears immediately fell.
She was too young to understand what death was, only that there was another loved one who had parted forever......
"Father......" she wanted to say, don't leave, but she couldn't say it anyway, she could only cry.

Only ten days after the Donglu clan was buried, Shangguan An came to the door again, facing Huo Guang with a depressed face, he was apprehensive, but he still said his intentions.
"Want to take back Xijun and Wuji?" Holding on to a few feet, Huo Guang asked his eldest son-in-law lightly.
"The lady has passed away, and the little daughter and child are young, how dare you trouble the family again?" Shangguan An didn't dare to look at Huo Guang's eyes, and replied with his head bowed, his posture and tone were very respectful.
Huo Guang was silent, and only after a long time did he reply: "Madame will take care of them and let them finish their mourning clothes!" ”
Shangguan An didn't dare to insist, and vaguely, he felt that Huo Guang might have guessed the thoughts of their father and son.
Shangguan Ji was not surprised by this result, and he chuckled at his son's guess: "What if you know?" ”
Shangguan An was stunned, but listened to his father sneer: "Huo Zimeng has always been true and loyal, and now that he is in power, he will not be willing to let himself be suspected of being a disobedient at all." The candidate of Jiaofang Palace, he Huo family doesn't want it, can he still stop others from not thinking about it? ”
"Although the queen's position is supreme, it is ...... And what's the use? Shangguan An couldn't figure out why his father cared so much about the queen's candidate.
Shangguan Ji glared at Aiko, and saw that he was indeed puzzled, so he shook his head and said, "The position of the queen...... It's always just a gesture......"
Shangguan An was even more puzzled, and Shangguan Ji had to explain the history of the Han family to his son: "When Emperor Gao was the emperor, the Lu family was powerful, not to mention that Emperor Hui had been the crown prince for a long time, and Empress Lu had been hostage in Chu for three years. Needless to say, Empress Xiaohui is the crown prince, marrying the Bo family as a concubine, and Dou Fang is the queen. The first emperor and the eldest princess made a marriage alliance, and Emperor Jing abolished the princess and established the prince's wife, and the throne changed hands. After that, Wei Qing revealed his grandeur and abolished the Chen family and established the Wei family, in order to show the favor of the Son of Heaven for the Wei family. - So, do you understand? ”
Shangguan An realized: "Ah Weng wants the county officials to understand our support and rely on us?" ”
Shangguan Ji nodded: "You finally understand." ”
“…… Ah Weng is thinking ......" Shangguan An suddenly figured everything out, "Let the county officials think that the general is not loyal to him, and only by relying on us can he keep the throne!" ”
Shangguan Ji nodded approvingly: "I thought that you only remembered to have fun recently, and your head was full of mush!" ”
Shangguan An scratched his head and approached his father flatteringly: "Didn't I have more contact with that Ding outsider as Ah Weng instructed!" ”
Shangguan bent his fingers and flicked his son's brain: "I want you to know the situation of the eldest lord through him, not to let you walk with him and have fun!" ”
Rubbing his head, Shangguan An pouted: "The eldest princess doesn't take him seriously at all, and she wants me to teach him how to influence the eldest lord!" ”
Shangguan Ji ignored his son's complaints: "Okay, if you have something to say, go and do your business if you have nothing to do!" ”
Zhengse sat upright, Shangguan An leaned over the book table and leaned into his father's ear: "Ding Wairen said that the eldest lord has promised the Zhou Yang family that after the spring of next year, the daughter of the Zhou Yang family will enter the palace." ”
Shangguan Ji's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes to his son's raised eyebrows and smiled lightly, and couldn't help but smile: "Not bad...... Very good!
