Chapter 52: Li Danghu
After a hasty breakfast, the horizon was already glowing with layers of red light, carefully soaking the azure jewel-like sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gillian didn't have the energy to watch the long-awaited sunrise, she didn't sleep all night, she was in a state of excitement, she quieted down, sleepy like waves coming at her wave after wave.
Finally, in another laborious and heavy eyelid battle. She fell asleep, leaning on Liu Che's shoulder and falling asleep.
She was probably so tired that she slept until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The summer wind blows the curtains as soft as mist, and the sunlight shines deeply and shallowly into the temple, casting a colorful spot of light.
"Begonia." There is always an indescribable thirst when sleeping during the day, Gillian sat up with her eyes half-closed, and subconsciously called.
Gentle footsteps came from outside, and a pair of slender hands lifted the bed curtain and handed Gillian a cold drink. Then Ying Ying knelt down and didn't say a word.
Gillian was so thirsty that she drank it all. Seeing the maid kneeling in front of her came back from the fog of waking up, she did not rest in the palace last night.
She lifted the quilt and got off, and the maid immediately took the shoes and socks and put them on for Gillian. Gillian didn't need to be served, and she pulled up her bun refreshingly. The handsome maid held a box of beaded hairpins, but Gillian looked at the pale red hibiscus flowers inserted in the bottle, which were small and bright. She chose one at random and stuck it diagonally next to her ear.
Gillian looked at herself in the mirror before turning her head sideways and asking the maid, "What about Your Majesty?" ”
When the maid heard Gillian ask, she replied a little nervously: "Your Majesty got up at noon, and told Niangniang to go hunting." Her voice kept trembling, Changyang Palace was out of the palace, and before Liu Che's temporary patrol, this little maid had not seen a serious nobleman in the palace. Not to mention the queen mother, nervousness is a matter of course.
Then she saw that her long eyelashes smiled slightly like she could speak, and like a colorful butterfly resting somewhere flapping its wings. Niangniang's voice sounded low and shallow in her ears: "Okay, I know, you can follow me and serve me." ”
She was even more nervous, not knowing what to say and feeling as if she should say something, standing there a little overwhelmed. At this moment, Gillian had already gently patted her shoulder and walked out.
She quickly came back to her senses and chased after her in small steps.
On the way, I met the palace man who came back to report the news, saying that His Majesty had returned from hunting, and the master and servant stood at the palace gate and waited. The afternoon wind lifted Gillian's light long skirt, making her whole person more slender, and the maid Linglong carefully looked at Gillian's side face.
Her long swan-like neck is thin and white and soft, and the curve of her side face is smooth and soft. Before this, Linglong had never seen such a noble but not arrogant woman with every move. She couldn't help but secretly measure in her heart, is it true that the more high-ranking people are, the more noble they will be.
Finally, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Getting closer and closer, Gillian couldn't help but lift her dress and walk down the steps to look.
However, she was disappointed, and after the person arrived and saw her appearance clearly, she carefully looked at them one by one, and there was no Liu Che.
The knights turned over and dismounted, saluting Gillian. She nodded with a slight smile, but looked farther away.
Han Yan walked up the steps with her companions as she couldn't help but look back at the light figure. It was the first time he had seen the queen, but he had heard about the queen's deeds countless times in the rumors in the market.
The rumored queen took off the hairpin and favored the harem. I have not been pregnant for three years, and I have not seen His Majesty accept others. The prince died young, and it was an unprecedented preface and a posthumous seal. is so favored, how many queens and concubines can compare with each other throughout the ages?
He used to privately wonder if it would be because of the eldest princess's support and the power of the empress dowager, and even speculated with some sour feelings that he didn't notice whether the queen would be a stereotypical and arrogant woman, not as virtuous and beautiful as the rumors.
However, when he saw her, he knew he was wrong.
She was unlike any woman he had ever seen who was praised for her beauty, and her beauty easily made the beauty of those women become only vulgar, and she was so beautiful that people felt a kind of heart-pounding. Han Yan is conceited and has outstanding appearance, and the men and women who have seen him will be amazed unexpectedly.
She was the only one, and she glanced at him one by one, then lowered her eyes in disappointment, staying on him for as much time as anyone else. In her eyes, he was no different from this stone pillar.
Li Danghu passed by Han Yan's side, saw him stunned, and looked in the direction. Immediately, there was a thin anger, and he elbowed him to the waist. Without waiting for Han Yan to come back to his senses, he scolded in his ear: "Han Wangsun, is Gong Gaohou's tutor like this?" ”
He was caught off guard, barely standing firmly, and finally came to his senses. By the time he wanted to respond to something, Li Danghu had already strode away and disappeared.
Family education? He withdrew his gaze and walked up with a cold grunt in his heart. He is the grandson of Han Rongdang, the Marquis of Gonggao, and he was read to His Majesty as a companion when He was the King of Jiaodong. He knew that in the eyes of Li Danghu, a famous general, he was just a flattering man. Even, in the eyes of some people, there is no difference between him and Deng Tong.
After a long time, he almost had to believe it. However, after meeting Gillian, he understood that Liu Che would never treat him as Deng Tong.
Gillian didn't know about this little turmoil behind her, she waited intently. Finally, after another moment, Liu Che came. She pursed her lips and laughed, and greeted her from a distance.
What he ate at night was a deer that Liu Che personally hunted, and he ingeniously asked people to roast and eat it on a fire in the yard. Around the firelight, he asked the eunuch to cut off the roasted meat and put it on the jade plate with a knife, which was a bit like Mongolian barbecue.
The venison was indescribably tender, and the two of them actually ate a whole deer leg and each used a bowl of venison and ginseng soup. The temperature that came up from the stomach spread all the way to the hands and feet.
After dinner, I went back to the palace at night.
For a whole summer, Gillian almost traveled with Liu Che like this. At first, he was just playing and hunting in a few palaces, and then he started to travel in micro-services near Chang'an City. With the good riders on the left and right, they dressed plainly and went out to play and hunt.
Liu Che's left and right attendants also slowly became familiar with the queen who only lived in rumors in the past, and Gillian privately attracted a lot of discussion among the crowd. But in front of the emperor, everything returned to calm, and everyone still didn't dare to look at the queen with their eyes.
On this day in early September, the wind was blowing in the fields. Liu Che and his entourage arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain again, and while riding a horse and galloping, Gillian suddenly felt as if something was missing. She was shocked, reached out and touched her waist, and the peach blossom jade pendant on her waist no longer knew where it fell.
She reined in her horse and shouted, "Stop, stop!" ”
As she spoke, she had already rolled over and dismounted. Picking up the hem of her skirt and starting to look around, Liu Che came over and asked her, "What's wrong with Jiaojiao?" She didn't bother to raise her head and replied hurriedly: "Yu Pei, I don't know where you gave me." ”
He was stunned and began to look for it. Neither of them cared about soiling their dresses, and rummaged through the fields.
The group searched and searched, almost a carpet search, turned that place upside down, and finally asked Han Yan to pick up the jade pendant in the ditch. He picked it up and looked at it, his face changed, and finally stood up and held up the jade pendant and said loudly: "I found it." ”
The mutton fat white jade was warm and clear in the sun, but the red rope tied to the jade pendant was already covered with muddy water. Liu Che strode to take the jade pendant from Han Yan's hand, didn't bother to talk to Han Yan, walked to the creek and called Gillian while cleaning it: "Jiaojiao, come here, find it." ”
Gillian ran over with her skirt, Liu Che handed it to her with a smile, her tearful eyes finally broke into laughter, and she picked up the jade pendant with surprise and fear: "Che'er, that's it!" Neither of them noticed the expressions of the knights around them, Jiaojiao, Liu Che called out the name in a hurry with unconcealable favor. Compared with the queen who is called in front of ordinary people, Jiaojiao can better express Liu Che's feelings for Gillian.
A group of young knights, you look at me, I look at you, although they didn't speak, but there were already boos in eye contact. Only Han Yan looked at the emperor and queen with an intriguing expression, the front of the jade pendant is a relief of peach blossoms, and the reverse side is the "Jiao" of a small seal. His Majesty's awkward temperament would not be called a craftsman to engrave the queen's name, and it really doesn't look like everyone's work.
It can only be said that His Majesty carved it himself, and it is no wonder that the queen was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Peach blossom...... Peach's Death......
He didn't sneer to himself, and his face was cold.
Li Danghu is the eldest son of Li Guang, and his father is the commander of the forbidden army in the queen's palace. His father often said in front of him that the queen took care of the Li family, had a pure heart, and had a far-sighted vision, and would be a virtuous queen. I heard that he traveled with the emperor and queen, and told him more than once to pay attention to protecting the safety of the emperor and queen, especially if the mother was a woman and traveled abroad.
With a smile, he watched the emperor and queen whispering by the stream, and was sincerely happy for the emperor's love. His Majesty is young and promising, and this group of famous generals who follow him admire him from the bottom of their hearts. If the harem is stable, the front is stable.
Everyone turned over and got on their horses one after another, waiting for the emperor and queen in place. A tall knight passed by Li Danghu and gently touched him with his elbow, and whispered with a wicked smile: "Look at Han Wangsun, that vinegar." ”
Li Danghu looked back and saw that Han Yan was still standing in place, looking at the emperor and queen with cold eyes that he did not hide. Li Danghu suddenly burst into flames, he has been in contact with his mother these days, and he has always respected this gentle queen who is not very old.
Seeing Han Yan like this, she couldn't help but get angry. When Emperor Wen, Deng Tongqian was famous all over the world, although Deng Tong had no talent, but he still knew how to be cautious and respectful. If you Han Yan don't say whether you will become Your Majesty's Deng Tong, where do you have the qualifications to be disrespectful to the queen?
Thinking of this, Li Danghu didn't say a word, walked up with a blue face and kicked Han Yan who was out of his mind. Han Yan is single and weak, and he is not comparable to Li Danghu, the son of Jiangmen who got up from the third watch and smelled the chickens and danced.
At that moment, he fell backwards into the muddy ditch with a thud. The muddy water splashed all over his face, and he was embarrassed. Before he had time to ask again, Li Danghu went up and grabbed the collar and it was a real two punches. Han Yan's nose was bleeding as soon as she was beaten, and the muddy water on her fair face was mixed with blood and flowed down.
All this happened unexpectedly, and everyone really didn't expect Li Danghu to dare to beat people in front of the emperor and queen. Han Yan relied on His Majesty's favor and was the most powerful among their group. Although he has a bit of literary talent, who will watch this after the door? Everyone pulled the rack, and the thunder was a little loud and the rain was small, and some people even took advantage of the chaos to give Han Yan a kick again.
