Chapter 109: Prepare to Fight Back
I wasn't a serious illness originally, but it was because of the cold in the water, but because of Huo Qu's nervousness, the whole Huo Mansion became nervous.
Ginseng, snow lotus, bird's nest, the precious medicinal herbs that I can name and I can't name are sent to me like flowing water, and at first I was still more interested in seeing Huo Quai's nervous appearance. But later, I wanted to sit instead of lying down, I wanted to walk instead of letting me sit, and I began to think about whether it was time to talk to him.
So I said to him very tactfully: "To get sick, sometimes staring at a person too closely will cause pressure on people, distance and space can produce beauty, understand?" ”
Who knew that he didn't even lift his eyelids and said, "Huh? You drink this bowl of bird's nest before you talk about it. ”
I had to drink it obediently, and then I started to get depressed.
Wei Zifu sent someone to see me twice, and then he was relieved to see that I was getting better and that I was fine, and he said that I would be better and enter the palace again.
Huo Qubing resolutely disagreed with me to enter the palace again, for fear that I would be plotted again, and after the worst I had to pull down my old face and coddle him, and coax him for a long time, he reluctantly entered the palace and had to be guarded by him every inch.
In this way, under Huo Qu's careful care, my body gradually improved. So I begged Huo Qu to take me into the palace to see Wei Zifu, I fell into the water and became ill during this time, I don't know how she and Ruozhen struggled.
Huo Quzhi repeatedly told him not to leave his sight, not to get close to the pool, not to spend the night in the palace and a series of unequal treaties, I agreed to them one by one, and he took me into the palace.
followed Huo to the Jiaofang Palace, and the palace people led us in after the report, and as soon as we entered, we found that Ruozhen and Yin Jieyu were there.
If you really saw me, you seemed to be extremely concerned and asked, "I heard that you accidentally fell into the water a few days ago, and your health is better?" ”
I said respectfully: "It's okay anymore, thank you beauty." ”
Ruozhen patted his chest and said: "That's good, I heard that you fell into the water outside Princess Wei's palace, Princess Wei Chang got married, and the guards in her palace were a little lax, I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" ”
Yin Jieyu on the side looked at her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Look at what the beauty said, I don't know if the Daoist saw it, I thought you were saying that you fell into the water because Princess Wei Chang married Mulan!" ”
If you really hear the words, your face will turn pale, and you will have a seizure. Wei Zifu said: "Okay, I heard you talking here, go sick, why do you have time to see your aunt today?" No matter how much I told you in the past, I refused to come. ”
Huo Quzhi said: "I should have come to see the queen a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would always nag." ”
Wei Zifu smiled: "You kid, don't blame me for nagging, how many people like you in Chang'an City haven't got a family?" ”
Huo Quzhi said: "If the queen nags again, I will move to live in the Yulin military camp." ”
Wei Zifu shook his head and said, "You, don't always say that the Huns are not destroyed and there is no way to be at home." You can wait, can the people around you wait? ”
When Huo Quzhi heard this, I hurriedly bowed my head, and at this moment, the palace people reported: "Your Majesty has come down!" ”
Everyone hurriedly got up to greet them, and Emperor Wu of Han entered the Jiaofang Hall with a hearty laugh, and said with a smile: "I heard the sound of talking from afar, the queen is so enthusiastic here!" Sick too? ”
Huo Quzhi said: "See Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Wu of Han said: "I just want to come to you, don't mix in the barracks all day long, if you read more military books, the battle will be more beautiful." ”
Huo Qu said indifferently: "When marching and fighting, we must be good at adapting measures to local conditions and taking advantage of the situation, and we naturally have to read a little bit of the military book, but we can't just rely on the military book to fight a war." ”
Emperor Wu of Han was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed and said, "That is, you Huo Qubing dare to talk like this!" ”
I sometimes even think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wished that Huo Qubing was his son, so that he could be trained to become the first emperor of the ages. It's a pity that Huo Quai's surname is Huo, not Liu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can only train him to be the first god of war throughout the ages. That's why he was asked to read military books.
Huo Quzhi's arrogant temper is simply very good for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no matter what Huo Quzhi says, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feels that it makes sense, and now it is no exception.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "You have trained hard in the past two years, and when I have saved enough money, I will prepare the grain and grass for war horses, and when you will make great contributions!" ”
Huo Quzhi said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Wei Zifu said with a smile: "As soon as the two of you meet, you only know how to discuss fighting the Huns. ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Speaking of this, I looked high in the palace yesterday and found that this Bailiang platform just blocked the view, only to find that the palace was not the highest place in Chang'an City. ”
Wei Zifu said: "Your Majesty said this, and the concubine remembered that it seemed to be the case. ”
Emperor Wu of Han sighed and said, "Bailiang Terrace is also a Divine Terrace..."
Ruozhen, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubines think that Bailiangtai has always been famous for its divine miracles, and it is better for Your Majesty to worship the heavens in Bailiangtai, pray to the gods, and pray for the expulsion of the Huns." ”
Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "Beauty, this is a good idea. ”
Ruozhen continued: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the palace where you live should naturally be the most noble place in the world. ”
Emperor Wu of Han said: "Just do it!" ”
If he really saw that Emperor Wu of Han had followed his advice so easily, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes that he could not hide. I looked up at Wei Zifu, and she was still smiling. I secretly thought in my heart that Wei Zifu was unmatched in terms of bearing alone, no wonder she could sit firmly on the throne of the queen for nearly forty years.
After chatting for a while, Huo Qu got up and retired and left with me. After going back to Huo's mansion, I asked Huo what was going on with his illness and sacrifice.
Huo Quzhi said: "The first day of the sacrifice to the sky is selected by the star supervisor according to the celestial phenomena, and after bathing and fasting under His Majesty, he led everyone to pray and pray for blessings in Bailiangtai. ”
I have a vague plan in my mind, and although I can't say it in detail, I am very sure that I can use the opportunity of this sacrifice to defeat Ruozhen.
Huo Quzhi saw me pondering and asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”
I smiled and said, "Don't ask, I'm afraid I'll poke the basket and ask you to clean it up." ”
Huo Qu was sick and said indifferently: "You don't have to be afraid of stabbing the big basket, there is nothing wrong with me." ”
I blinked and said, "You're not afraid that I'll pit you?" ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Then what can I do, I am willing!"
His eyes were like stars twinkling, and I reached out to wrap my arms around his neck, looked up with a smile, and pecked lightly on his lips. He quickly reacted and looked down to find my lips. I immediately laughed and ducked away, asking, "I ask you, how did you get my couch out there?" ”
Huo Quzhi frowned, puzzled: "Anyway, they sleep together every night, why do you have to set up two couches for Lu?" ”
I blushed and said shyly: "If you do this, don't others know that we are all together at night?" ”
Huo Quzhi stretched out his left hand to hug me tightly, pressed the back of my head with his right hand, and said softly: "Do you think there is anyone who doesn't know the way?" ”
Before I could argue, he opened his lips slightly, sucked mine, and sucked softly. A long kiss ended our conversation, but opened up another, more dazzling exchange.
Imperial power has been a symbol of supremacy since ancient times, but in Chang'an City, the tallest building is not the Changle Palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the Bailiang Terrace in the imperial city.
Bailiangtai has always had rumors of divine miracles, and there are many believers, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not easily demolish and build another. But judging from his language on that day, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Bailiangtai was higher than the imperial palace and surpassed the imperial power.
The day of the sacrifice to the heavens soon arrived, and at this time, the solemn ceremony of worshipping the heavens had just ended, and a banquet was held in the palace in front of Bailiangtai, and the Taoist priests continued to cast spells and pray for blessings in Bailiangtai.
The inside of the hall is covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold wire, and the beams are covered with delicate painted palace lamps and splendid silk. There are eight pairs of tall copper pillars around the main hall, and there is a one-person high carved silk silver candlestick next to the pillars, on which candles are lit early, and the candles are mixed with spices, and the whole hall is filled with a warm and intoxicating atmosphere.
In the center of the main hall is set up the dragon chair of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, beside him sits the queen, and the next is Ruozhen, Yin Jieyu, Mrs. Li and other high-status concubines, and then under the head, there are several beauties who are quite favored.
Below the main hall, on the left is the male guest seat, followed by the prince and the clan, followed by the rank of the official, and on the right is the female dependent, according to the same arrangement of the male guests. This festival is an official ceremony, and if there are no special circumstances, the female dependents of each family must officially attend according to their respective grades.
I have no grade, and I am not Huo Quzhi's nominal wife, I was originally not qualified to participate in such a grand event, but under my begging, Huo Qubing still brought me, and at this time, my position was far at the end of the women's seat.
A couple of women next to me whispered to me, "Her headdress should be a woman who hasn't left the cabinet, why are you sitting here?" ”
"You don't know what to do, she is General Huo's favorite concubine."
"No wonder!"
I gritted my silver teeth slightly, why are these women so gossipy, today's highlight is to sacrifice to the sky, but not on me, why do you always want to talk about me? I didn't expect that. I sat up straight and ignored them.
I looked towards the front, and I couldn't help but look at Ruozhen, even though she was only giving me one side.
The blue gem on her forehead looked plain and fresh, and from a distance, half of her face shone with a faint brilliance in the faint light, and the gem and the black cloud temples matched together, like the moon in the misty spring night.
Her complexion is white, and she doesn't need to be powdered at all, but today she has a little more powder, and her complexion is whiter. It is also lightly smeared with a layer of rouge, weighing the snow-white complexion, like the clouds rising in the morning, delicate and beautiful, making people suspect that it will break when it is blown.
