Liu Zhao left the West Palace, the wind and snow were even greater, and there was a popping sound on the fox fur cloak, he didn't sit in a sedan chair, and his heart was still confused and chaotic. The net snowflakes were blown diagonally in one direction by the north wind, and sometimes they turned in a circle and landed at the base of the red wall, accumulating into a thick layer. Che Qing cautiously followed behind him, sometimes sneaking a glance at the emperor's figure with his eyes, feeling that the tall figure seemed even more lonely.

The emperor looks dignified and solemn, but Che Qing knows the feeling of not relying on all sides and being alone, every day the emperor's every move, he sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart, sometimes he even thinks, what is the good of being an emperor? It's better to be a small squire, although he is a minion, there are not so many people running out, and there are not so many troubles.

The emperor used to value Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, very much, but since that Deng Guiren entered the palace, it seems that all acquaintances have become strangers, and those who are extremely familiar have also become blurred. He seems to have really become an emperor who rules all directions in China, the first person in the universe of heaven and earth, but he is not the little boy who runs around the palace and is so pressed by the Empress Dowager Dou that he can't raise his head. Now, there are countless beauties in his harem, beauties in his arms, and the world on his shoulders, but where is the happiness that should be?

Liu Zhao stopped suddenly, Che Qing was startled, and suddenly realized that he was too close to the emperor and almost hit him. So he hurriedly walked over and helped Liu Zhao, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, aren't you going back to Deyang Palace?" ”

Liu Zhao's heart was sour, looking at the flying snow in the sky, let the snowflakes wreak havoc on his face, he didn't even pay attention to it, and muttered: "I don't know where to go?" Is there really a place for me in this palace?"

Che Qing was stunned, what is this? The emperor is the lord of the world. The palace and the palace are all his places, why don't you know where to go? But he still comforted: "Your Majesty, the servant heard that there is a big official named Zhang Qin in the court, and he has seven wives in his family. ”

Liu Zhao tilted his head and listened to his words, but did not answer. There seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"His eldest wife is a husband and wife since childhood. The two used to be very affectionate, but because the eldest wife was infertile, they married one after another. Then the wife is jealous, what's the matter, if I don't give birth, you can marry a child. Why is there still a left and a right? How are you going to live this day? So there was a big fuss at both ends for three days, and the family was restless. Zhang Qin is a depressed drink every day, so he has no mind to work. When Che Qing said this, Liu Zhao had already heard a general idea, so he asked: "That Zhang Qin is Guanglu Siqing." I haven't heard of any of this in his house? ”

"Your Majesty, this is the gossip that this is nothing to get from when we are a slave, how can it get into the ears of the emperor? If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was unhappy today. The minions didn't dare to tell the emperor about it. ”

"Oh, then go on!" Liu Zhao pondered slightly. Whispered.

"Oh, later, one day, he was really unbearable, so he recruited all the women in the family together, so to speak, I don't want to marry so much, the eldest wife does not have children, I will marry the second wife, who knows that the second wife does not have children, so I married the third wife, just like that, I married seven, each of them did not give birth, it seems that I am the head mule!" When he said this, Liu Zhao was amused by him and said, "This Zhang Qin is interesting, what happened later?" ”

When his eldest wife heard this, she found out that sure enough, all seven wives were childless, so she apologized to him, saying that she was confused and would never make trouble again in the future. Since then, it has stopped. So the slave thought, all the ladies in the palace are fighting for the emperor's favor, if the emperor tells them about his sufferings, maybe, it will also have an unexpected effect. ”

Che Qing peeked at Liu Zhao again, and saw that he was silent in thought, and he didn't dare to speak again, for fear that he would say something that he shouldn't say and cause a big disaster.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Zhaocai said: "Go to the queen's Changqiu Palace, I will be there with her tonight." ”

The Changqiu Palace was lively tonight, although Yin Li didn't treat Deng Sui well, but the feeling of grasping the handle in her heart still made her very excited, not only did she eat more, but also passed on the courtiers in the palace to tell jokes to herself.

A courtier is a person who can use some tricks to make the emperor and queen happy. Yin Li was depressed by Deng Sui these days, often washed his face with tears, and really didn't have the mood to listen to jokes, no matter what happened in the palace today, he also gave Deng Sui a lesson, and his heart was so happy that he drank pure wine, and after eating, he called a few courtiers in. When Liu Zhao came, the courtier Shi Ming'er was spitting and spitting, and everyone in the palace covered their mouths and laughed backwards.

"Once upon a time, a man's wife accidentally fell into the river and drowned, and the body was not found, so the man went upstream along the river to find his wife's body. A friend of his was puzzled by this and advised him to look for it in the direction of the lower reaches of the river.

This humane, you don't know, the person who died of his wife said without sorrow that she was quite unreasonable when she was alive, she loved to fight against others, and often acted against others, and after she died, the corpse must have gone upstream, and would never drift downward. ”

The attendants in the palace laughed, but they didn't dare to laugh loudly, but Yin Li listened to it but his face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to feel coke. So Shi Ming'er still had to say, and when Qiu San, the courtier next to him, saw it, he hurriedly pulled him, and whispered: "You still have to say, whether you have committed the jealousy of the mother, be careful of your head." ”

Shi Ming'er shrank her neck in fright and said: "Then the brother will tell a joke, so as to make the mother happy, otherwise the lives of several of us will not be guaranteed!" ”

Qiu San smiled and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, Shi Ming was talking nonsense just now, and the minister told Niangniang a joke to make Niangniang happy." ”

Yin Li glanced at Qiu San and said: "The jokes are getting more and more boring now, and what you said is not much better, let's go down, the palace is tired, and you have to rest." The palace is very chaotic now, the palace has been very annoying lately, and you guys are also making some new jokes, what are the family affairs or something, it's really boring. This palace treats people with kindness, and people will not bear this palace, there are many taboos in the palace, but the ancestral system of the Holy Ancestor is still there, if you want to cure you greedy and forgetful villains, this palace has a way. Let's go down and think about it, don't copy the prosperity of this palace next time! ”

"Whoa!" Qiu San and Shi Ming'er both agreed to retreat, but secretly sweating, knowing that this queen was not easy to mess with. It's really a difficult master. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the emperor strolling in, although he couldn't see anything on his face, but it made people feel a kind of coldness, and they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and they didn't know how many knocks they had.

Liu Zhao didn't even look at them, and he didn't let people spread it. He went straight into the inner sanctum. Seeing that Yin Li was holding his head, he was fascinated by the light of the fire in the stove. The light of the fire reflected her face like a magnificent sunset, fresh and beautiful. The gorgeous and gorgeous add a piece of purity, like a picture, making people feel like entering a fairyland.

"Li'er?" Liu Zhao called lightly.

Yin Li was stunned, as if she didn't believe that what she heard was true. Suddenly raised his head, his small mouth slightly open. There was also a hint of distrust. When I saw it clearly, it was really the emperor, tears suddenly burst out of my eyes, how long has it been. He hadn't been here for a long time, and he hadn't called himself a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty! Concubines see the courtesy! She got up to salute, but was stopped by Liu Zhao. He took her into his arms and said softly, "The queen doesn't have to be polite. We are husband and wife, what do you think, so into the gods, I came in, I don't know? ”

Yin Li smiled, "What can the concubine think, of course, she misses the emperor, but she is just a fantasy every day." ”

Liu Zhao sat on the couch with her, rubbed his hands, it was really cold outside, and when he saw a cup of tea on several cases, he took it and wanted to drink it. Yin Li hurriedly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, this tea is cold, the concubine will change the cup of hot one for the emperor!" ”

Liu Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm here, it's really cold, go and let someone change a cup of hot tea!" It's cold, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable after drinking, do you say you blame you, or do you complain? ”

His half-joking remarks made Yin Li laugh, and deliberately bluffed his face and said: "The emperor will bully the concubines, come here, quickly change to new tea!" Lian'er had been waiting for His Highness for a long time, but when she was called, she hurriedly trotted in a few steps and took the tea.

After a while, he came in with hot tea and poured a cup in the marigold. retreated again, quietly looked at Liu Zhao's face, and saw that he was talking to Yin Li, as if he was smiling, so he was relieved.

Liu Zhao took a sip and said, "Good tea, I heard that good tea is produced in the Jiangnan area, I think it was transported there, right?" ”

Yin Li smiled coquettishly and said smartly: "This is Qiyun melon slices, which are the best in Lu'an tea." The concubine has nothing to do, and she also watched some tea ceremonies, and at the moment she has eaten dinner, the meat in this palace is heavy and heavy, and the weather is cold, this tea is greasy, and it is best to go to stagnation. ”

Liu Zhao took another sip, felt the fragrance in his mouth, and took Yin Li's hand and said, "No wonder I want to come to see you today, it turns out that there is still this tea hooking me." Tell me, isn't it? ”

Yin Li lowered her head and said with a smile: "Does the emperor want to come to drink tea, or do you want to come to see Li'er?" If you want to drink tea, Ming'er will ask the Taiguan to bring more good tea to the emperor, so that the emperor can use tea as an excuse to look at me! ”

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "You have this mouth, I am convinced." That's it, I'm not going to leave you today. We haven't been together for a long time, I miss you too, we talk at night, there are too many things to count these days, I really want to talk to you. ”

He casually took the book on the desk and read it word by word, "He is cunning and childish, and he doesn't talk to me." Because of Weizi, I can't eat. He is cunning and childish, and he does not eat with me. Because of Weizi, I can't rest! ”

Yin Li's face was red, and he was busy grabbing the book: "Don't read it." This word is only to be read, not to be read. ”

Liu Zhao returned the book to her and said, "I can't read it, and I feel sad when I read it." ”

Yin Liqi said: "The meaning of this word is the lovesickness of your beloved, how can you feel sad when you read it?" ”

Liu Zhao said quietly: "I am in the court every day, discussing with the ministers, and reviewing the recitals in the Deyang Palace. If you think of me, don't I want you? Where not to love, when not to love, such days, isn't it sad? ”

Yin Li felt moved, and leaned on the emperor's shoulder, feeling his warm breath, the faint fragrance on his body, which was the ambergris for the emperor's family. The aroma is gloomy with a faint bitter smell, but it is delicate, intimate, and calm. "Your Majesty, do you really think about Li'er? Then why did the emperor come to Li'er's palace for so long, and the concubines counted the more leaky days every day, just like this lamp, shining through the moonlight, which would not be extinguished for a long time. Those sad hearts, as the emperor said, let the concubines count carefully, and the more they count, the more sad they become. Your Majesty, Li'er knows that I am not as beautiful as Sui'er, but Li'er is sincere to the emperor, and her heart is on the emperor's body, all for the emperor. ”

After a long time, she said softly: "The concubine married the emperor for the first time, but in fact, she was uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of man she entrusted her life would be. But in the past three years, the emperor has been opposite to the emperor, and the emperor is considerate of the concubines, and the concubines are grateful. also made the general's concubine the queen, thinking that such days would last forever. Alas! She let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, can you give some of your love for Sui'er to Li'er, Li'er misses those crystals with His Majesty before!" (To be continued)
