That night, at the palace banquet, Liu Xiu made Huan Tan enter the palace to play the piano as usual. However, this time, Huan Tan saw Song Hong and behaved at a loss.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was shocked and asked why.

Song Hong didn't wait for Huan Tan to answer, and left the table without authorization, and apologized and said: "The reason why Weichen recommended Huan Tan is that he can lead the Lord with loyalty." Unexpectedly, he made the court indulge Zheng Sheng's lewd pleasure, which was recommended by Weichen and should be punished. "Huan Tan was recommended by Song Hong to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu worships Huan Tan as a speaker and gives things, and every time he feasts, he makes Huan Tan play the piano. But every time Huan Tan played Zheng Sheng's lewd music, Song Hong was deeply remorseful for this. Not long ago, when he waited for Huan Tan to leave the palace, he summoned people to the mansion, sat down in the court, and solemnly resigned. Huan Tan apologized at that time and was willing to correct it, which is why there is today's scene.

After Liu Xiu heard this, he was full of praise for Song Hong, he asked Song Hong to sit with a crown, and asked Huan Tan to retire and stop playing the piano.

This little episode did not prevent the banquet from proceeding normally. After the banquet, Yin Lihua asked Liu Huang if he had a favorite, and Liu Huang just shook his head. Yin Lihua was disappointed by this.

In fact, it's not that Liu Huang doesn't have a fancy to it, but she doesn't want to say it for the time being, she wants to see it again. Song Hong's awe-inspiring and righteous appearance in front of the palace suddenly broke into Liu Huang's heart, making Liu Huang feel attracted to the man for the first time.

The next day, Liu Huang privately sent someone to inquire about Song Hong's personality and the situation in his family.

Song Hongnai is a native of Chang'an, Jingzhao, and was a servant when he mourned Emperor and Emperor Ping. When the Red Mei Army entered the customs, they were conscripted and persecuted very tightly. Song Hong had no choice but to go to Weiqiao and throw himself into the water, but fortunately he was rescued by his family in time and feinted to be spared.

Liu Xiu ascended the throne, heard about Song Hong's festival, and worshiped as the Taizhong wife. Song Hong's appearance was dignified and solemn, and he was upright and established the dynasty, which made Liu Xiu more respectful, moved to the Great Sikong, and added the title of Marquis of Mu Xunyi. However, Song Hong held a frugal contract, obtained a fortune, and looked at the nine clans, although he was ranked as a minister, but Han Su was like an ordinary official. Liu Xiu named him the Marquis of Xuanping again, and there were more minions than the Marquis of Muxun, but Song Hong still gave it to the clansmen, and the government had no surplus funds. Let's talk more here, Song Hong recommended the wise men Feng Xu, Huan Liang, Cai Mao, etc. to Liu Xiu, some of them are ministers, and some are ministers.

It's a pity that Song Hong has already married a wife and already has a daughter.

Liu Huang listened to these things about Song Hong, and he couldn't help but be disappointed while being even more happy with Song Hong. Even though she was reluctant, she knew that there was no hope, so she could only let herself go. It's a pity that providence makes people, one day, she went out and met Song Hong by chance, and the short time she got along made her unable to extricate herself, and she hated to meet when she was not married.

In February, the captured general Ma Wu and others captured Chuihui, completely eliminating the largest eastern separatist force Liu Yong and his son Liu Xu. Liu Xiu was overjoyed. He hosted a family banquet to entertain his in-laws.

At the banquet, talking about the old life, Deng Chen went to the banquet of Cai Shaogong's mansion with Liu Xiu, Cai Shaogong said that Liu Xiu was the son of heaven, and Liu Xiu, who was sitting at the end of the table, responded: "What is the use of knowing that it is not a servant?" So he calmly said to Liu Xiu: "The servant actually did it." ”

Liu Xiu immediately burst into laughter, and everyone present also laughed, only Liu Huang, the eldest princess of Huyang, bowed her head and was speechless, sullen.

When others saw it, they couldn't figure it out. As we all know, in order to repay Liu Huang's affection for his support when he was a teenager, Liu Xiu gave her Diquan, the best place in Luoyang City, and built a large garden in it, with pavilions, rare birds and monsters, and countless others. It stands to reason that Liu Huang should have nothing unsatisfactory. However, they didn't know that they had tasted love for her now, and even if they were widowed in Diquan, they couldn't be happy. Watching her younger brother and sister go in and out of the court in pairs, she can't be happy anymore.

Everyone present noticed Liu Huang's sullenness, but no one asked her.

After the banquet, Yin Lihua walked with Liu Huang and Liu Boji and sent them to the palace gate. On the way, Yin Lihua asked with concern, "Eldest sister has something on her mind?" ”

Liu Huang was silent for a long time, and then replied in a hurry: "I am happy with a minister, tossing and turning for him, and I can't sleep at night. ”

Liu Boji was stunned, but Yin Lihua was surprised, she hurriedly asked Liu Huang: "Who is it?" ”

Liu Huang said bluntly about this, "Dasikong Song Gong." ”

Yin Lihua heard Liu Xiu praise this person, but she knew very little, let alone whether it was suitable for Liu Huang, but she thought that it should be good to be favored by Liu Huang, Liu Huang is remarried, and his heart is the most important. So, she smiled and said, "Go back and tell Uncle Wen that the eldest sister is waiting for good news." ”

When Liu Huang heard this, he smiled happily.

As he spoke, the palace gate arrived.

Before leaving, Liu Huang told Yin Lihua: "Let the third brother ask Song Gong for me." ”

Yin Lihua responded with a smile: "Okay." ”

After saying goodbye, on the way back, Yin Lihua told Liu Xiu about Liu Huang's thoughts.

After Liu Xiu heard this, he was quite frightened, "Dasikong Song Gong has already had a wife and daughter, I'm afraid it's extremely inappropriate." ”

Yin Lihua didn't expect this to be the case, and she couldn't help but be silent. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly looked at Liu Xiu with a frightened face and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest sister knows the inside story, but she still has her intentions." ”

After Liu Xiu heard this, he was silent.

The next day, Liu Xiu summoned Liu Huang and said, "The eldest sister is happy with the great Sikong Song Gong." ”

Liu Huang confessed: "Yes." ”

Liu Xiu asked Liu Huang with some self-deception: "Does the eldest sister know that Song Gong has a wife and daughter?" ”

I saw Liu Huang nodding.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu's heart sank, and she said helplessly: "Eldest sister, does he have to?" ”

Liu Huang replied: "The great Sikong Song Gong is a powerful and virtuous weapon, and the ministers can't compare." It means that he only cares about Song Hong. But Liu Huang also knew that this was difficult for a strong man, so she said to Liu Xiu: "The third brother just ask Song Gong for me." If it can be done, it will be very good; If it doesn't work, there is no resentment, and there is no need to force it. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "My brother understands." It's just that you can't rush this matter, and leave everything to me. ”

At night, Liu Xiu told Yin Lihua about it. Yin Lihua asked Liu Xiu if she knew how Song Hong and his wife were in relationship, and whether there was a concubine. Liu Xiu didn't know, but he said that he could ask Cai Mao, who was good friends with Song Hong, in private tomorrow.

Cai Mao had a very personal relationship with Song Hong, and he came to Beijing from Guanghan Taishou to take up his post, which was recommended by Song Hong.

So, after the dispersal of the court on the second day, Liu Xiu left the big Situ Cai Mao alone. After Liu Xiuxian talked a few words with Cai Mao, he asked: "Aiqing, do you know what the relationship between Xuanping Marquis and his wife is?" ”

When Cai Mao heard Liu Xiu's question, he couldn't scratch his head for a while, so he had to answer truthfully: "Weichen has not heard of the discord between Duke Song and his wife. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he didn't ask anything more, so he let Cai Mao leave.

Yin Lihua on the other side also did something for this, she summoned Liu Boji and asked her to inquire about Song Hong in private.

Liu Xiu looked back and listened to Yin Lihua's arrangement, and couldn't help but feel anticipation again, but the result was unsatisfactory. Song Hong and his wife are in love, never discordant, and have no concubines, and the family of four lives happily, which is quite envied by the neighbors.

At this point, Liu Xiu couldn't help but make a difficulty.

Yin Lihua suggested at this time: "In this case, Uncle Wen might as well invite Song Gong in private, go straight to the test, and let the eldest sister listen in the dark." ”

Liu Xiu felt that this arrangement was good, so he acted according to his words.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Xiu summoned Song Hong alone in the Jiade Hall of the South Palace, and set up a table in the bamboo curtain behind the palace, let Liu Huang sit, and then set up a new screen in front of the bamboo curtain.

Song Hong entered the palace and saw that there was a screen next to the throne, one color was made of high-quality silk silk, and there were pictures of ladies painted on it, all of them were charming. He saw Liu Xiu looking forward to it several times, and his eyebrows were affectionate. So he sat down solemnly and said, "Zi said: 'I have not seen a virtuous person like a lustful person. The hadith was indeed good. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and he knew in his heart that Song Hong was a righteous man who was clean and self-conscious. He immediately asked people to remove the screen, and then said to Song Hong with a smile: "If you hear righteousness, you will obey, is it finally possible?" ”

Song Hong knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty can be as good as a stream, and Weichen is overjoyed." ”

Liu Xiu helped Song Hong up, talked about the court, and after dealing with a few words, he said with a smile: "The proverb says: 'You are easy to make friends, and rich are easy to wives.'" This is human nature, I don't know what Song Aiqing thinks? ”

When Song Hong heard this, he couldn't help but think of what Cai Mao said, and he understood a little, so he said: "Weichen also heard a proverb: 'Poor and lowly friends must not be forgotten, and the wife of the bad chaff will not go to court.'" ’”

Liu Xiu listened, there was nothing he didn't understand, so he immediately changed the topic, and chatted for a while before letting Song Hong leave.

After Song Hong left, Liu Xiu reviewed the bamboo curtain and said to Liu Huang inside: "Things are not harmonious. ”

Liu Huang was silent about this, and the matter was settled.

No matter how happy she is, she doesn't have the right to win love, I have to say that Liu Huang is a respectable woman.

After that, no one mentioned it, as if nothing had happened. Liu Huang also seemed to be fine.
