They sat opposite each other. The candles on the candlestick were half burned, the dripping candle oil condensed into lumps, and the occasional "beep-beep" sound at the wick was stuffed into the ears......

The emperor is not a king at the moment, in front of the crown prince Liu Zheng, he is just a loving father.

Taking into account Liu Zheng's mood, the emperor explained to him: "Xi'er, if you ask me if your mother is still alive, will I think she is old and don't know how to cherish it?" I tell you, I'er, I am from the imperial pole, the world's beauties fill the harem, countless, I am the emperor, in this life may be because of the balance of the court, there are countless Namei, but the young couple, only your mother is alone. The only thing I love in my heart is your mother. What you think, there is also your reason, you Taoist kings will always love the beauty of skin, and beauties will eventually grow old one day...... When I dived, your mother accompanied me by my side, and when she was in her twilight years, I will never forget her thorn hairpin cloth skirt, and I will accompany me all the way through the ups and downs...... Even though she has two lives and gray temples, I can still see her calm and moving appearance when she was young...... This will never change. There are so many beauties in the harem, and I will never be able to be so moved. Since the queen, in this life, I only feel that I have been bound by the rivers and mountains, and I can no longer love anyone. ”

Liu Zheng listened attentively and listened very carefully, and when he raised his head again, tears covered his face. He felt that his eyes were foggy, and he couldn't see clearly at all......

Even his father, in front of his eyes, was just a hazy shadow......

His sovereign father, sitting on his desk, told him in the most loving tone about the "deep love of the old sword" buried in Duling.

The crown prince was stunned and looked at his monarch father deeply: "Father, why didn't you protect the queen mother?" ”

"I was fledgling back then...... the emperor paused: "It's my fault." ”

He threw himself on the table, choking up.

"You'er, but you won't, I will hand over an intact country to you. Qingjun's side, I will do it for you. The emperor's eyes were like torches.

Having said that, there should be no estrangement between their father and son. Liu Zheng didn't care about it at this time, and said to the emperor: "Father, since you are so heart-wrenching, your sons and daughters will not beat around the bush. ——This is the period of mourning for the queen mother, although the father and the emperor are not controlled, but also because of moderation. But why ......?"

When Liu Zheng said this, he glanced at the big tent......

The emperor was as calm as refinement, because he said: "Son, the monarch and the minister are the most jealous, and the father and son are the same." How I treat you, from childhood to adulthood, you should know in your heart...... Between our father and son, there is no suspicion of establishing a reserve, I have always taken a fancy to you, since the day I was at the end of the day, I know that in the future, I will deliver this great Han country to you. Just because your mother is the wife of my dregs, I love your mother and son, and I will never change in this life. You are my first child, both a grandson and a long, in etiquette, in the system, in love, I was elected to you. ”

Liu Zheng's words for the king were deeply moved. From the side of the case, he knelt on the ground, prostrate on the king's side, and bowed: "Father and emperor are well aware of righteousness!" Sons and daughters die! No matter why, my father should avoid it at this time. The queen mother is jealous, how can the father serve the Nami people in the Duling tent? Think twice! ”

The emperor was confused by this son's "sincere advice", and said in his heart...... This...... Is this kid burning? Because he sat firmly, he said, "You'er, you...... Say what? ”

Liu Zheng was serious, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at his father, and said, "Father, the son knows his father...... Worry about the king's labor......"

“…… Talk about the point. ”

"The eldest princess of Hubei is the daughter of Emperor Xiaowu, with high seniority and noble status, and she raised Emperor Zhao to grow up and made great contributions. It is to imitate the eldest sister of Emperor Xiaowu back then, and select beauties for His Majesty to send them to the palace, which can also be called good. The sons have no dissent. But...... Today is the period when the emperor laid the tomb, and at this time, the beauties are selected to be sent, which ...... It's a bit excessive. ”

Liu Zheng wiped his sweat, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the eldest princess has a noble status, in the harem, even if the emperor is a concubine, she needs to make a big gift when she sees the eldest princess, not to mention that the eldest princess of Hubei is still the daughter of Emperor Xiaowu, counting the generations, she is the grandparents of today's majesty! He Liu Zheng is in front of the eldest princess of Eyi, but he is really a junior! At this time, when he was in front of His Majesty, he was naturally trembling.

Unexpectedly, the emperor frowned and forced a smile-

"Oh, that...... Do you want to say that the eldest princess of Hubei is sending a beauty to me, at this moment, here? ”

Liu Zheng nodded cautiously.

"Did I summarize it for you?" The emperor deliberately teased him: "Who have you studied with recently?" It seems that I have to belittle his officials, and teach my prince to be like this, things that can be explained in one sentence, and say so much in a roundabout way! ”

Liu Zheng bowed his head: "The son is terrified." ”

"Come on, get up, I know what you mean - don't worry, I'm not old and confused, how many dares do I have to pamper a beauty in front of my ancestors' mausoleum? I'm such a faint king? As he spoke, the emperor glanced over with one eye—

"But I don't understand, what did I do to teach you such a misunderstanding?"

Liu Zheng didn't dare to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "The son first wanted to come to find his father, and asked his father to go to the son to talk about the kindness of the father and son, and enjoy the joy of family - outside the tent, I saw a woman and went in with a basin. According to the convention, before the mausoleum, they were all from serving the king, and when the ministers saw this, they knew that they were the people who climbed the power and sent the beauties in order to flatter the king. But this time it was too much—before the tomb, the king should fast and bathe ......"

"I know," the Emperor waved his hand, "but...... How can there be a woman in this tent? ”

As soon as these words had been uttered, the emperor saw a woman kneeling in the corner, and when he heard the words of his father and son, the woman trembled and walked to the king on her knees......

She kept prostrate and refused to lift her head when she moved on her knees.

Only when the king was in front of him did he be relieved.

The Emperor said, "Raise your head." ”

The woman still didn't move.

The emperor touched the book and asked casually, "Who sent you?" ”

The palace maid bowed her head: "The servant undertakes the edict to serve the king." ”

This voice is a bit vicissitudes, and it is by no means like that of a young palace person.

The emperor was stunned...... The hand holding the book was frozen in mid-air, and the king said coldly: "I order you, raise your head!" ”

The palace woman slowly raised her head.

The emperor frowned slightly, a pair of eyes flashed with surprise and apprehension, he hid it well, just for a moment, and then it was as if nothing had happened. Those eyes are calm again.

The emperor raised his hand lightly and said to the crown prince: "You'er, you can stand down." ”

The prince was still kneeling, with hesitation, incomprehension, and even horror in his eyes......

The emperor paused slightly, and then said to the palace woman, "Turn around and let the prince take a look." "He knows his son too well, if he can't reassure the prince today, he will never leave!

The woman in the palace was also surprised, but at this time she did not hesitate at all, turned to face the prince, and slowly raised her head......

Liu Zheng looked at her very raw, he didn't know this person before.

The woman in this palace is not young, she looks even older than the emperor, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of haggardness.

He put his mind at ease, thinking that this was just an old palace man, who had been on an errand in the Han Palace for a long time, and was sent to serve the emperor of Chenling. It didn't mean what he thought.

Since the emperor had sent him to retire, it was inconvenient for him, as the crown prince, to stay for a long time. Because of kneeling, he said: "The son is offended, and the son retired......"

"Rest well......

The emperor rubbed the corners of his forehead, his eyes closed slightly, and did not look at the prince again.

When the crown prince came out of the big tent, the emperor threw the book to the ground: "Back then, there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and I didn't want to meet here today." ”

The corner of the woman's lips curled into a plausible smile: "The maid never thought that I would appear here here at this time." Does Your Majesty still hate me? ”

"—what do you say?"

As soon as the emperor lifted his foot and knocked over the footbasin, the sewage splashed all over the ground, but she did not hide, and the sewage splashed half of her, and even her clothes were soaked.

How many years have passed, and the emperor has calmed down a lot. If he was still a young man, when he saw the person in front of him, he would have peeled her skin and cramped with his own hands. At that time, he was able to hold on, his face was not angry, and even his tone was so calm......

She wondered if the Emperor had forgotten his old hatred.

The emperor hid it so well.

The Emperor looked around and said, "Go down, all of you." ”

The guards in the tent bowed their heads and bowed, and then slowly withdrew.

At this time, only the two of them were left in the tent.

She opened her mouth and said, "That young man, but the prince? ”

The emperor didn't reply to her, but she muttered to herself: "The prince has grown so big, when I last saw him, he was still a little doll, and he couldn't even walk steadily." In her eyes, tears slowly overflowed, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was reminiscing......

"It's the crown prince, and he looks very good. It's hard for you to remember him. ”

"Fang looks at it like this, he is a bit like a queen."

Hearing her mention the word "empress", the emperor was stunned, and if there was a thorn on his back, he couldn't sit steadily:

"You shouldn't mention the Queen."

"It's the slave's fault......"

The emperor said again: "He is like the queen, and he is kind and gentle, like Pingjun...... I have high hopes for him, and he will be the wisest and most benevolent ruler of my Han. ”

The Emperor lost patience and did not want to talk to her again. After all, he is an emperor, and he is unpredictable, and there is a sudden evil aura in his still gentle eyes-

The emperor grabbed her collar and said very cruelly: "I ask you - why did you suddenly appear in front of me more than ten years ago when you disappeared without a trace?" Aren't you afraid that I will crush your bones and scatter them to ashes? The emperor retracted, held her collar tighter, and spat out the name that he had taught him to gnaw more than ten years ago: "Chun Yuyan? ”

Chun Yuyan had no sorrow or joy on her face, and she seemed to have expected the king's anger.

She looked up at the king, she hadn't seen the emperor well in years. In the past, when she was on an errand in Jiaofangdian, she knew that she was very affectionate to the queen today, and she also envied the queen, a woman can get a husband like this, and she has no regrets in her life, not to mention, this husband ...... He is also the most noble and greatest emperor in the world.
