Chapter 166: Instead

One hundred and sixty-six, instead

Xiaohong only felt a black shadow in front of her, and when she looked up, she saw Gongsun Shi's angry black face, Xiaohong wanted to lower her head to avoid his gaze, but Gongsun Shi was forced to hold her chin and let Xiaohong look directly into her eyes.

"Little Red, what are you and me? And when what is my liking? Xiaohong was silent, she had never had much confidence, and she felt that Gongsun Shi would like him, which was originally an unbelievable thing, so she was actually apprehensive during this time.

"I ...... I just think that with someone like me, there may be a ** share, so ......"

"So? So you're ready to back off? Ready to leave me behind? Xiaohong shook her head, Xiaohong still cares about Gongsun Shi's feelings, but sometimes she doesn't know how to express it.

"I didn't want to leave you, I just ......"

"You didn't think about my danger just because you thought about it? Don't be afraid of me......" Xiaohong was anxious, reached out and covered Gongsun Shi's mouth, and what Gongsun Shi wanted to say stopped.

Xiaohong didn't realize it herself, in fact, she really cared about Gongsun Shi, and Gongsun Shi was also a little dark, and it took a trick to finally force out her true words, so it was really not easy.

"Who allowed you to talk nonsense? It's not like you're going to take care of me for the rest of your life, Gongsun Shi, you're a liar! ”

Seeing that Xiaohong was anxious, Gongsun Shi smiled instead, this little woman full of hedgehogs, only in this way can she force her to tell the truth.

"I didn't say anything, what are you anxious about? Does that mean I care? Just now he said that I should marry another woman. If I really did what you said, wouldn't you be angry and crying? was ridiculed by Gongsun Shi, Xiaohong was ashamed and angry. simply stood far away from Gongsun Shi and sulked.

Gongsun Shi touched the tip of his nose, this little girl is a donkey, she will be tougher than you in the opposite direction, and Gongsun Shi is worried that she will spoil this little girl full of hedgehogs, so he shook his head, it seems that he can only take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Outside, Gongsun Shi and Xiaohong were still awkward, and Huo Mei in the tent was already asleep in Wei Ling's arms. In the past few days, Huo Mei has been sleeping for longer and longer, and Wei Ling's heart is hanging higher and higher.

The Han army broke the court of the Huns, and the city of Chang'an cheered. Liu Xun's banquet also included the families of some of the generals who made military merits sent by Chang Hui this time. Naturally, Mrs. Wei and Liu Yun'er, who was a cousin, entered the imperial garden. Liu Yun'er's eyes were always secretly aimed at Emperor Liu Xun, who was sitting in the first place. That eager gaze, even Huo Jun could feel it.

Quite disdainfully glanced at Liu Yun'er, thinking to herself, this Liu Yun'er is really self-conscious, just because she is the daughter of a businessman, and she still wants to be the emperor's woman, she sneered when she thought of this.

"Old Madam Wei is really casual in the palace, and irrelevant people dare to bring it to Weiyang Palace. Do you really feel that you have a close relationship with the queen, so you get carried away? Huo Jun's sudden attack. made Mrs. Wei a little puzzled, she usually had no intersection with this Jieyu Niangniang at all, and Wei Ling's daughter-in-law was still her sister, so she should give Mrs. Wei some thin noodles for this.

It's a pity that Huo Jun has had a bad relationship with Huo Mei since she was a child, and she felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw that Wei Ling had made military achievements and was about to be rewarded by Liu Xun. Anyway, Liu Xun rarely came to the harem during this time, and what he usually cared about most was the queen's belly that was getting bigger day by day, but these Huo Jun calmed down, because her mother, Mrs. Huo, had already prepared the ending for the queen, as long as she waited patiently, then one day, the queen's position would still be hers.

"The old man has lost his manners, and please punish His Majesty!" Old Madam Wei knew that Huo Jieyu was deliberately making things difficult, in front of the ministers, she naturally had to take care of Liu Xun's face, even if the relationship was good in the past, now Liu Xun is the emperor, a small general's mansion, disappearing from this Chang'an City, it is only an instant.

"Old lady, please get up quickly, don't you make Your Majesty feel more uncomfortable like this?" Saying that, Queen Xu had already stepped down from the first place, squatted down and helped Mrs. Wei up.

The queen is almost seven months pregnant, her belly is very big, and it is inconvenient to walk, how dare Mrs. Wei tire her, not to mention that she is still the queen of the dynasty.

"How can the queen mother, why do you make it inconvenient now, don't you want to die of old age?" Saying that, Mrs. Wei was about to kneel down again, the queen was willing, and the two of them pushed back and forth, and Liu Xun had no choice but to open his mouth.

"The old lady doesn't have to care about Huo Jieyu's words, I know that you treat this Miss Liu as your own, Ah Ling is not there, and Miss Liu stays by your side to take care of it, I understand this!" With the emperor's words, Old Madam Wei suddenly felt that her waist straightened, and a smile began to appear on her face.

"Thank you for your compassion, Yun'er has been filial piety in front of the old body these days, this child is really good, the old body still wants Ling'er to marry her as a flat wife, helpless...... Alas...... Speaking of which, I don't have this blessing in the General's Mansion! ”

Mrs. Wei is still so persistent about letting Wei Ling take a concubine, Liu Xun smiled faintly, but did not answer, he knows Wei Ling too well, since he was a child, this guy is not a person who can take a concubine, and Liu Xun himself, if he does not become the emperor, I am afraid that he will not take a concubine.

Thinking of this, he felt sorry for his wife Xu, reached out and touched Xu's huge belly, and the expression on his face softened.

It's a pity that Huo Jun and Liu Yun'er will rarely see such a look in the next many years, as if this kind of look Liu Xun has given to this Queen Xu.

"Today's banquet is to comfort all the relatives, without your support in the rear, the soldiers in front of them cannot fight with peace of mind, here I salute you!" The emperor raised the wine bottle, and naturally everyone raised their glasses in response.

"Concubines, grass people, etc., thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

The deafening sound of thanksgiving sounded, Liu Xun drank all the wine in the wine bottle, the queen was pregnant and couldn't drink, so she drank ginseng tea, worried that Liu Xun's drinking would stimulate the stomach, so she intimately gave Liu Xun personally cloth vegetables, and seeing the affectionate appearance of the emperor and queen, everyone present got up together. Worship the position of the emperor and queen.

"Your Majesty and the queen have a deep affection, and my Han will be more prosperous! Long live my majesty! Congratulations to my queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

This night, the Weiyang Palace has been deserted for many years, and people have smiles on their faces. But Huo Jieyu smiled very reluctantly, the emperor and queen were in deep love? Hum! Sooner or later, the person who has a deep affection for the emperor will definitely be replaced by me Huo Jun!

Mrs. Huo did not enter the palace for the banquet, although Huo Yu was named a general, but in order to avoid being too sharp, Huo Guang did not let Mrs. Huo enter the palace, for such an act of avoiding suspicion. For the first time, Mrs. Huo did not have any objections.

And he stayed in Sima Mansion very peacefully, and Huo Guang was very happy about Mrs. Huo's virtuous behavior. Slowly, she spent more time in Huafengju, and often stayed here overnight, which naturally made Mrs. Huo very happy.

The palace was originally a settlement where conspiracy broke out, and there were people who were lucky every day. Naturally, there will be people who are unlucky. Life and death are just a thought.

Looking at the codex from Weiyang Palace, Huo Mei frowned, it seemed that Huo Jun and Mrs. Huo had been too quiet recently, and such an abnormal phenomenon seemed to indicate that something big would happen.

"Why are you frowning? What's wrong? Huo Mei raised his hand and handed the codex to Wei Ling to read, Wei Ling looked at it and thought about it, but he didn't show anything on his face.

"What the hell did you say to Your Majesty? Why is there no news of me in Chang'an City, and no one has been notified of this palace banquet. I'm not in Chang'an, do you know about this? ”

Faced with Khomey's doubts. Wei Ling didn't think so, sat on the edge of the bed, took the sitting Huo Mei into his arms, and lifted the quilt covering his body, worried that Huo Mei would catch a cold.

"I reported to His Majesty before you went out to the barracks, otherwise you thought it would be so smooth to enter the barracks? I grew up with His Majesty since I was a child, I have been bullied by others in the market, and when I am an adult, I often have to accept the difficulties of those so-called superiors, I know you don't like Your Majesty's personality, but if you have been trampled under your feet since you were a child, then now that you are an emperor, you will care more about your throne! ”

This is the first time that Wei Ling has talked to Huo Mei so frankly about the experiences he had with Liu Xun, regardless of Liu Xun's attitude towards Moxiang Pavilion, as the emperor, Liu Xun is not useless.

On the contrary, after years of war, the people's lives were poor, and after Liu Xun ascended the throne, he was very sympathetic to the misery of the people, and also reduced a lot of taxes, which is inseparable from the fact that he grew up in the market.

"As long as he doesn't hurt Moxiang Pavilion, I won't be his enemy! Everyone in Moxiang Pavilion is like my family, and for so many years, Moxiang Pavilion has always supported the imperial court. In the event of famine, Moxiang Pavilion has always opened a warehouse to release grain regardless of gains and losses, and this expedition, Moxiang Pavilion took out 100,000 stones of grain and grass, but unfortunately these will only make the emperor more serious about Moxiang Pavilion. ”

Kissed the corner of Huo Mei's lips, she had been sitting here reading the codex for a while, Wei Ling was afraid that she would be tired, so he took off the pillow behind her and let her lie down.

"Okay, don't think about those unpleasant things anymore, after sitting for so long, your waist must be uncomfortable, I'll rub it for you!" Saying that, Wei Ling had already put his hand into the quilt, rubbing Huo Mei's waist little by little through his clothes, causing Huo Mei to sigh comfortably.

"Ah Ling, you are so good!" Wei Ling smiled, the movements in his hand did not stop, Huo Mei still wanted to talk to him, but soon fell asleep, until he saw that Huo Mei was asleep, Wei Ling took out his hand, kissed Huo Mei's forehead, and walked out of the inner tent.

Outside, Gongsun Shi had been waiting for a long time, this would be holding a sandalwood box in his hand, with a chicken feather attached to it, Wei Ling reached out and took the box and opened it, inside was a small roll of bamboo slips, opened the bamboo slips and looked at them, and threw the bamboo slips into the brazier next to them.

Until the bamboo was reduced to ashes, Wei Ling added a few pieces of wood to it, and when he turned to look at Gongsun Shi, his face was stern, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What is Your Majesty's will this time?" Wei Ling looked at Gongsun Shi's gaze with deep thought, and Gongsun Shi was full of discomfort.

"The secret decree says that I want to find a way to take the master's place and become the general of the expedition to the west! And at any cost! Gongsun Shi was stunned for a moment, and replaced Chang Hui at any cost, the intention in this could not be more obvious, either kill Chang Hui, or ruin his reputation, so that Liu Xun can find a reason to replace him, and now Wei Ling has just made a meritorious service, this is naturally a very good opportunity.

Gongsun Shi exploded all of a sudden, in his opinion, the emperor did this, which would undoubtedly put Wei Ling into an unkind and unjust situation, not to mention that Chang Hui was Wei Ling's master, even if it was someone who had nothing to do with Wei Ling, with Chang Hui's person, Wei Ling couldn't find his fault at all except killing him.

Chang Hui, like Huo Guang, is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, who followed Zhang Qian to the Western Regions when he was young, and herded sheep with Su Wu, and was also one of the only few people who followed Zhang Qian back from the Western Regions.

He can be said to be a master of the Western Regions, not only that, but he also has a close relationship with Shan Yu and the king of the countries in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for Wei Ling to replace him, so Wei Ling will be even more entangled.

"This is too much! Master was born and died for him, and he actually wanted to kill Master! I'll go to Master now! Seeing that Gongsun Shi was about to leave, Wei Ling shouted.

"Don't go!"

"Senior brother, I know that you have a good relationship with Your Majesty, but this kind of status that betrayed your master, don't do it!"

Wei Ling sighed, how could he not know that the emperor's move was wrong, but he was the emperor after all, as a courtier, even if he refuted it, the emperor would not be able to retract what he said.

"Let me think! Since His Majesty has made a secret decree, I'm afraid that the secret guard will also have a will, you go and inform Yu Niang, you must pay attention to the people around the master recently, don't be caught by the secret guard! As for His Majesty's will, I will find a way to reply to His Majesty! Gongsun Shi nodded and left, while Wei Ling paced in the tent a little anxiously.

Huo Mei listened for a long time, waited for Gongsun Shi to leave before coming out of the inner tent, and when he saw Wei Ling's troubled appearance, he walked over. Feeling a warm little hand grasping his palm, Wei Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw Huo Mei looking at him with a smile, and the anxiety that was full of heart just now just now dissipated.

"Master is a battle-hardened veteran, and he will naturally deal with His Majesty, you don't have to worry about Master's comfort, I will let Xiaohong investigate in secret! However, the top priority is to let the emperor let go of his mustard against the master! Wei Ling helped Huo Mei walk around the tent a few times, these days Huo Mei is basically in bed, and only when he is in good spirits will he come out for a walk.

Lying still is not good for the fetus in the womb, so as long as Huo Mei has some spirit, Wei Ling will help her walk around the tent.

"You don't care about this, I have my own measure!" (To be continued......)
