The weather in Jinling City, every May, there is always a period of plum yellow rain.

After the light rain, on the green brick ground in front of the door of the Sui Yu Palace, there is a fine grass poking out of the brick joints, a bush here, a cluster there, looking at it from a distance, there is a sense of a few separation from the grass on the plain.

Liu Yun looked down at the dark embroidered gold thread Nine Dragon Boots on his feet, his expression was like ice, his eyes were cold, and the breath around him was terrifying.

He couldn't hold back for a while, and finally got angry at the Empress Dowager Chen and asked her about the marriage. He had planned it before, and he would issue a draft decree in the near future, so as to finally hold the beauty, who wanted the queen mother's decree to disrupt his overall plan.

When he first heard the news, he could hardly believe his ears.

And when the news was confirmed, he couldn't describe how he felt at the time. If he wasn't on the throne, he was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot.

But he knew he couldn't.

He is the king of a country, and he is determined to be a generation of kings. He shouldn't have trouble with his mother for the sake of a woman, and embarrass the queen's younger brother.

However, his heart was like a fire, hot and scorching, /day //night scorching his heart, so that he did not have a moment of peace.

That's why he asked why Empress Dowager Chen was like this. And Empress Dowager Chen's words made his mood extremely heavy.

“…… None of you are born to the mourning family, and the mourning family has never favored one over the other. The reason why the mourning family gave the four girls a marriage was because they couldn't bear to let her boil her head white in the deep palace. Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he doesn't understand the mind of this deep palace woman. The mourning family has been in the palace for so many years, and there has not been a day of true peace and joy. How many palace maids die in the palace every year. How many palace concubines have been aborted or even sterilized, Your Majesty is afraid that he has never thought about it carefully. Where is this palace, this is clearly a place to eat people, why does Your Majesty spare another irrelevant/irrelevant four girls? How pitiful this girl's background is, Your Majesty doesn't know it. When I was a child, I didn't have a mother, and when I grew up, I had to fight with the person who killed my relatives/mother/, and she didn't have a stable life in the past ten years. Doesn't Your Majesty feel pity? ”

Looking at Empress Dowager Chen's increasingly aging face, as well as the pale snow color of her sideburns, Liu Yun didn't have a word to reply.

After the palace change, Empress Dowager Chen seemed to have gray hair overnight. Wrinkles on the face. I got more than ten years old all of a sudden.

There was originally a Song Baolou by her side, who had been by her side for more than 20 years, and she could be regarded as a companion. Who wanted the palace to change that night, but Song Baolou turned into an anti-king eyeliner. In the end, he ended up in a different place. And Xu Hui, who has always had a deep affection with the Queen Mother. Now it is far away in Dengzhou. Even Liu Yan, the queen mother's favorite little grandson, has left her.

Facing such a queen mother, Liu Yun was full of resentment and anger. There is no way to proclaim it.

The Han Dynasty has always attached great importance to filial piety. As soon as the Empress Dowager's decree came out, Liu Yun had no possibility of changing it. And at this moment, looking at the sad face of the Queen Mother, he couldn't even say anything to complain, so he had to resign sullenly from the Sui Yu Palace.

In the early summer of May, the garden is full of splendor, and the bitter smell of wormwood is still in the air.

Liu Yun stepped down from the imperial chariot and walked into the garden.

The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and at this time next year, that girl will become the wife of others, and from then on, she will teach her husband and children, and her husband and wife will be happy.

Liu Yun only felt a pain in his heart and couldn't speak.

Looking at the grass in the garden, he sighed wistfully, and suddenly heard the sound of a woman laughing not far away.

"Quick, quick, the wild goose is crooked to the side, go pick it up." It was a young woman who spoke, and her voice was cold, inexplicably reminding him of the girl.

He followed the sound and walked over, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

In an open space in the garden, several women in palace costumes are flying kites. The woman standing in the middle was wearing a light purple dress, with a row of pink flowers on her sideburns, tall and charming, it was Queen Meng Qing.

Meng Qingzheng was concentrating on the affairs at hand, and suddenly felt a quiet beside him, and when he looked back, it coincided with Liu Yun's sight.

Meng Qing was stunned for a moment, then squatted down with a smile, and his posture fell: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

Seeing the bright smile on her plump face, Liu Yun felt a little relieved. He stepped forward to help her up, and said with a light smile: "It's windy today, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Meng Qinghun smiled absently and said, "It's good if the wind is strong, just fly a kite." The concubine asked someone to make a nine-ring wild goose kite, and it couldn't be put on it when the wind was light. As she spoke, she looked up to the sky, her expression slightly yearning, "When the wind is strong, the kite can fly higher, and fly outside the palace to take a look, as if the concubine also went outside to take a look." ”

When she said this, her eyebrows and eyes were empty, her smile was light, and she didn't know whether it was blown by the wind or sunburned, and her cheeks were thinly covered with a layer of light powder, which looked more moving than Liu Yun usually saw.

Looking up at the kite for a while, Meng Qing suddenly came back to his senses, turned his eyes to look at Liu Yun and smiled mockingly, and said, "The concubine has no knowledge, let Your Majesty see the joke." Your Majesty is busy with every day and state affairs, and the concubines dare not delay His Majesty's business. ”

Liu Yun was moved by Meng Qing's previous words, so he didn't notice the vague meaning of expelling guests in the queen's words, but turned his head and ordered: "Go and bring the peacock kite that was paid tribute by the country a few days ago, and then personally help the queen change the top line." As he spoke, he turned to Meng Qing and smiled: "Your top line is broken, so the kite always can't fly high, just change it." ”

Meng Qing's expression was slightly stunned. If you are attentive, you will notice that her smile is slightly stiff, and she seems to be extremely disliked by being disturbed. However, this expression was only for a moment, and in the next moment, she was already smiling gently, nodding her head and saying yes, and looking at Liu Yun with just the right amount of tenderness.

After a while, the colorful and brilliant peacock kite arrived, and the emperor and queen flew the kite in the back garden. That night, Liu Yun stayed in the Yongchang Palace, and then stayed in the queen's palace for more than ten consecutive days, which caused a period of turmoil among the concubines in the palace, until the emperor finally remembered the women who were left out in the palace in July, and began to implement the policy of rain and dew, and the turmoil was calmed down.

Compared with the silent saber rattling in the palace, Fu Jun's current life can be described as extremely dull.

She only now understands why there is a word called "to be married", and the homonym of this word is "stay at home".

Now Fu Jun stays at home all day, concentrating on embroidering her wedding dress, and can't go anywhere. I also know that Fu Jun will never be able to complete this kind of work, so she can only be done by Qingman and them, and even then she can't run out.

She couldn't take classes at Baishi Academy for a long time, and Fu Jun couldn't even go to Fu Geng's study now except for strolling around the garden of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

The days are so boring that people are dizzy, and they don't know how many years have passed.

In mid-May, Fu Chen got married, the bride entered the door, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was finally freshly baked. When the cave room visited Aunt Weng the next day, her response was very decent, although Zhang's face was expressionless throughout the whole process, Fu Zhuang and Fu Chen seemed quite satisfied. Fu Chen's face still had a smile on his face for the first time in a long time.

Two days before the summer solstice, the house received news from the Gu Mansion, Fu Zhen gave birth to a daughter in the first child, the mother and daughter were safe, Gu Yan came to the mansion to send the news, it can be seen that he loves this eldest daughter very much. (To be continued.) )
