Chapter 25 25
Outside the palace gate, a small and light carriage was already waiting in a quiet corner. According to Empress Lu'www.biquge.info s instructions, the carriage was simple and inconspicuous, and the people who followed him were just the personal palace maids who usually accompanied him.
helped Lu Hou to sit in the carriage, and Ripple himself followed Lu Bu's pace into the carriage. Looking at Empress Lu in the carriage, who looked a little unhappy, Ripple was a little worried, she reached out and took out the hot tea she had prepared earlier from a secret compartment inside, poured a cup and put it into Empress Lu's hand. Looking at the soulless Empress Lu, the rippled voice revealed a thick worry:
"Niangniang, you are so reckless to leave the palace today. Will it be ......"
Before she finished speaking, Empress Lu stretched out her hand to interrupt the words confided behind the ripples, and she took a slight sip of the hot tea in her hand:
"Xiao Cheng is the first strategist of my Han, it can be said that without him, it is equivalent to not having my Han today's country. He must have seen what happened today, and if I don't come to the door and explain it myself, I'm afraid he will have a lot of worries. ”
After speaking, Empress Lu sighed, her voice full of tiredness and fatigue:
What's more, he has always been good friends with Han Xin. I'm afraid that Han Xin has a lot of complaints in his heart...... If. ”
Lu Hou paused slightly, and finally said the words:
"If so, if Xiao He really believes Han Xin's words, I'm afraid Xiao He will also abandon my Han and leave."
"!"
Ripples nervously called:
"Where is it so serious, obviously everyone has heard that it is the conspiracy of the Chu State, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng will definitely understand."
"I hope."
Empress Lu felt a little depressed, stretched out her free hand and lifted the curtain to look outside. The streets of Chang'an are rich and prosperous, and families live a stable life along the way, and from time to time you can see families with their children wandering around the streets.
Empress Lu grinned slightly, this is the world she and he created, at least let this group of people live in peace and not suffer from the war and separation. But......
"Ugh."
Lu Pheasant sighed slightly, but now she can no longer feel the satisfaction she had at the beginning, she just feels tired and wants to rest.
But before this emotion was finished, I heard the call of the coachman:
"Mother, it's here."
"Hmm."
Lu Pheasant responded lightly and stepped out of the carriage with the help of ripples. Standing in front of Xiao He's mansion, Lu Pheasant smiled at the corner of his eyes:
"It seems that our prime minister is living a very simple life, and he is reluctant to repair the door plaque."
Hearing this, Ripple also raised her head and glanced at the door plaque, and when she saw the dilapidated door plaque, she also laughed out loud, she stepped forward and knocked on the door, and turned back to Lu Pheasant and smiled:
"Niangniang, this Lord Xiao must be worrying about state affairs day and night, and he has no time to take care of his family."
As he spoke, the door opened, and it was a white-haired old man who bent over and looked at Lu Pheasant, and finally said in a hoarse voice:
"I don't know who the two girls are recruiting?"
Seeing that this person didn't know Empress Lu, Ripple stepped forward to report to his home, but was stopped by Pheasant Lu before he could speak, Ripple looked at Empress Lu in puzzlement, only to see Empress Lu personally step forward and bend over, and said to the old man in a respectful but proud tone:
"Old man, I am an old acquaintance of your master, you just need to say that a woman surnamed Lu has come to visit, and he will definitely meet me."
"Lu?"
The old man lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, then turned around and made way of the way:
"Since it's the queen's visit, then please come in."
Lu Pheasant looked at the road that had been vacated, and followed the old man into the courtyard, but there was still some doubt in his voice:
"Why do you know ......"
"Huh."
The old man responded with a smile:
"What girl in this world dares to blatantly surname Lu, and now there is only the queen's mother."
Lu Pheasant followed behind the old man, his eyes looked at the surrounding environment from time to time, the water pavilion pavilion, elegant and simple, it was Xiao He's style, but his eyes shifted after hearing the old man's answer. Lu Pheasant looked at the old man steadily:
"But listening to the old man's tone, it seems that he doesn't care about the palace and the emperor."
"Haha."
The old man, as always, led the way without the slightest panic:
"Concern? Farmers care about the harvest and sowing of the farmer, whether there will be natural disasters or man-made disasters; The soldier will care about whether the world will be peaceful, and there is no need to say goodbye to his family; And the old man cares, but this acre of land, a square inch of house, I hope that the owner of the family will live a worry-free life. ”
Saying that, the old man stopped, and looked at Lu Pheasant with his eyes shining:
"So, Queen, as a powerful person, what should you care about?"
"Huh?"
Lu Hou was suddenly asked, her pupils constricted, no one would ever ask herself such a question, and she never thought that there was a different difference between what she cared about and what she cared about.
The old man didn't give Lu Pheasant any time to answer, he walked sideways past Lu Pheasant and said softly:
"Here, Queen Mother, my young master seems to be very unhappy when he comes back from the palace."
"Oh?"
Lu Pheasant looked at the place where the old man had stayed, and sure enough, at a well in the center of the courtyard, Xiao He sat on it embarrassed, it seems that the palace guards are right, Xiao He has been a little depressed since he left.
Lu Pheasant walked forward, put his palm on Xiao He's shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry for what happened in the palace today."
The strings of his brain seemed to be broken all of a sudden, Xiao He didn't expect Lu Pheasant to come to such a place, he hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground:
"Weichen see Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao He was helped up by Lu Pheasant, Lu Pheasant looked at Xia He, who was a little flustered, just smiled faintly, and regardless of etiquette, he sat on the edge of the well like Xiao He just now, picked up a cup again, and drank a glass of wine casually:
"Lord Xiao seems to be very annoyed? The same goes for Hongu. ”
Xiao He stood aside at a loss, not understanding why Empress Lu came today, and he didn't know what it was...... Before he finished thinking about it, a cup appeared in front of him, and Lu Hou took another cup and handed it to Xiao He's eyes:
"Lord Xiao will also have a drink with this palace today."
Although Xiao He has been in and out of the palace many times and has heard of Empress Lu, he has never been in contact with her. There are mixed rumors about her from the outside world, and there is everything. But the only thing that makes Xiao He sure is that this woman is unpredictable. Just like me now, in the face of this woman, I don't know what she wants to do.
When Empress Lu saw that Xiao didn't take the wine glass, he didn't reluctantly sit there and pour himself a drink:
"Lord Xiao, when I came, I met a housekeeper, and he said that the farmer cares about the farmer's collection and sowing, whether there will be natural or man-made disasters; The soldier will care about whether the world will be peaceful, and there is no need to say goodbye to his family; And the old man cares, but this acre of land, a square inch of house, I hope that the owner of the family will live a worry-free life. So what does Lord Xiao care about? ”
