Chapter 43
"Sir, the little girl Gillian was abolished because of the witch Gu thing, and I also ask Mr. to write a wonderful pen to make the emperor rebuild the old good!!" Liu Concubine made a thousand gold, and said in a sincere tone.
Seeing the situation of her daughter on the tip of her heart, Liu Concubine was naturally heartbroken, and after thinking about it, she thought of Sima Xiangru. Although Sima Xiangru is only a mere Lang official, his writing is the best in Kyoto, and he is deeply valued by Liu Che, so Liu Concubine did not hesitate to put down her body and personally visited her with a lot of money.
Sima Xiangru saw that Liu Concubine personally came to the door to ask for gifts, and hurriedly gave a deep salute and said: "Mrs. Dou is serious, how can Changqing, can you get the lord to come and ask for gifts, if the emperor is empowered to rebuild the old good, Changqing should serve himself!" "When even if you call the scholar to grind, pave the white silk, ponder a little, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the pen is splendid.
"The husband is a beautiful woman, and he is free to take care of himself. The soul is more than a rebellion, and the form is withered and lives alone. …… The night man is old, and he is depressed and can not be changed. Waiting for the dawn, the barren pavilion and the sight are restored. The concubines are sad and sad, and they dare not forget their years. ”
"Master, please take a look!" Sima Xiangru put down his words in one go.
Liu Yan took the silk scroll and looked at it, and was immediately filled with joy and sorrow. The sad thing is that Gillian is in the bones and marrow between the lines of the miserable words of Changmen Garden, which makes people sad to see. The joy is to write about Gillian's reluctance to give up on the past, so sincere, Liu Che will definitely recall the lingering affection of the past when he sees it, and he can't bear Gillian anymore, so that the reconciliation between the two can be expected.
"Mr. Brilliant Writing, Pavilion Tao is taught! If this matter can be consummated, the pavilion Tao will personally bring the little girl to the door to thank him! Concubine Liu was full of joy and thanked Sima Xiangru.
Sima Xiangru hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's too serious!" The emperor is a young and young plum, and her affection for more than ten years is by no means comparable to others, and Changqing is just bluntly saying that in fact, it is a great fortune to be able to enter the eyes of the lord, how dare Changqing take credit? ”
Liu Concubine held the silk, and there was infinite longing in her heart.
-----
After leaving Sima Xiangru's mansion, Liu Concubine immediately ordered someone to enter the palace to invite Liu Che's close attendant Yang to enter the mansion. Yang Deyi had no relationship with Liu Concubine, and although he was surprised when he was suddenly invited, he was not easy to refuse, so he took advantage of the rest of the day to visit Liu Concubine.
"The old slave has seen the old slave, I don't know why the old slave was called?" Yang asked triumphantly.
Liu Yan smiled and said: "Yang Changzhi should not be polite, please sit down quickly!" Come on, serve tea! ”
After Yang sat down proudly, Liu Yan said: "The years are not forgiving, and I have been by His Majesty's side for more than ten years, right?" ”
Yang said proudly: "The old slave is the palace that the first emperor entered for three years, and the first emperor saw that the old slave was dedicated to his work when he was ten years old, so he asked the old slave to serve the prince at that time, that is, His Majesty today, and now it has been eighteen years." ”
Concubine Liu smiled and said: "Chang Shi is really the old man next to His Majesty, presumably Chang Shi also knows that His Majesty and Gillian are childhood sweethearts, and they are young and in love." ”
Liu Yan's words did not surprise Yang, he had already guessed seven or eight points of the reason before he came, although the invitation could not be shirked, but if he was asked to intercede for Gillian, it would never be possible.
Liu Yan continued: "Guantao has always been quick to talk, and today I invite the regular attendant into the house, which is also for Gillian. Liu Concubine "snapped" twice, and then the two subordinates presented dozens of gold bills of good quality, and Liu Concubine said: "Chang Waiter, please smile at the dozens of gold." ”
Yang proudly left his seat and bowed down and said: "Thank you for your good intentions, the old slave will not dare to accept it!" ”
Liu Yan stepped forward and said: "Why do you need to see the outside like this, the matter of the pavilion is not difficult to do." A few days ago, the pavilion Tao asked Sima Xiangru to write a new speech, knowing that His Majesty likes adult articles, so he wants to entrust the permanent servant to forward it to His Majesty. ”
Yang said proudly: "Since the master has a new work from Lord Sima, why don't you directly present it to Your Majesty, but ask the old slave to forward it?" ”
Liu Yan said: "Chang Shi should know about Chu's service to the witch Gu, and he can't hide it, this endowment is made for Gillian, and I hope that His Majesty can remember the old feelings after seeing it, and take Gillian back to the palace." If it is presented by the pavilion pottery, I am afraid that His Majesty will not look at it, so he has to have to have a permanent servant to present it on behalf of the pavilion pottery, in order to hope that the emperor will rebuild the good of the past. ”
Yang Deyi heard that if he wanted to intercede for Gillian, he would be criticized by Liu Che, but now he is just transferring Sima Xiangru's resignation for Mrs. Dou, which is not impossible. First, Liu Che Suxi Sima is like a literary style, and there are new works that can be seen. Second, after all, Mrs. Dou is Liu Che's aunt, Liu Che and Gillian are a family after all, so although Gillian is practicing witchcraft in the harem, Liu Che only took away the queen's title and did not investigate the guilt, so it seems that Liu Che is also thinking of the old feelings. Moreover, although he is valued by Liu Che at the moment, after all, he should plan for the future as he gets older, since Mrs. Dou intends to ask for it, why don't you be a favor? If the future emperor really rebuilds the old good, it will also be beneficial to himself and not harmful.
Thinking about it like this, Yang said proudly: "If the emperor can restore the old good, the old slave is willing to do his best!" ”
Concubine Liu was very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly promised: "Chang Waiter, if this matter is successful, the Pavilion Tao should be thanked!" ”
-----
In October, Liu De, the king of Hejian, entered the court to present Yale, and Liu Che was very happy, and ordered Taile to save the Yale music offered by the king of Hejian for the year to be played. Yang proudly took the opportunity to take out Sima Xiangru's resignation and presented it to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the old slave has a new speech from Lord Sima, if you can harmonize with it, it should be a swan song!" ”
Liu Che took the silk scroll and said with a smile: "I only know that you are similar to a Shu person, but I didn't expect that it was really the first to get the moon near the water." ”
Yang was silent, standing aside with a smile, only to see Liu Che open the silk scroll and take a look, but the joy just now was gradually replaced by solemnity, "Yang proud, where did you get this endowment?" Liu Che sank his face, and his tone was chilling.
Yang smug shuddered when he heard this, with his many years of experience as a close attendant, he knew that this was a sign before the storm. "Back to Your Majesty, this endowment is entrusted by the old slave of Mrs. Dou to His Majesty." Yang proudly didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and replied respectfully.
Liu Che said angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to hide it from me, and teach it privately with Mrs. Dou!" ”
Yang was so frightened that he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old slave has ten dares and does not dare to hide from His Majesty and the Lord Dou. Some time ago, the lord Dou sent someone into the palace to invite the old slave to come over, and the lord said that His Majesty was happy with the gift of Lord Sima, and asked the old slave to present this endowment to His Majesty, in order to restore the old friendship after the emperor. The old slave couldn't stand the repeated pleas of Master Dou, so he responded to the matter, and the old slave knew his mistake and begged His Majesty for mercy! ”
"Humph!" Liu Che threw the silk scroll on the ground and said coldly: "Since the Lord Dou has entrusted you with great trust, you will go back to the Lord for me, I will not enter the Changmen Garden in this life, let her not have such thoughts again!" Since you are so enthusiastic, you don't have to wait for me tomorrow, go to Yongxiang and stay for a good life! ”
"Your Majesty..."Yang was so sad that his heart was so regretful that his intestines were blue.
-----
"Master, Yang Changzhi is here!" After Liu Concubine was proud of herself and Yang, she waited for news in the house every day, and was overjoyed when she heard the maid come to report, and Yang was proud to have done the thing.
Concubine Liu walked into the main hall with a spring breeze on her face, "Yang Changshi, but Your Majesty's mind has changed?" ”
Yang proudly presented the gold given by the last time to the Lord Dou, and said coldly: "The master, you can make the old slave suffer!" ”
Concubine Liu was stunned when she heard this, and said inexplicably: "What does Yang Changzhi mean by this?" ”
Yang said proudly: "The old slave has tried his best to do what the master has entrusted him, and today His Majesty asked the old slave to bring a word to the master." ”
"Please!" Liu Yan looked at Yang with a smug expression, and couldn't help but say anxiously.
"Your Majesty has a saying: I will never enter the Nagamen again in this life, please die of this heart!"
"Huh?" Liu Yan was startled, took a few steps back in a daze, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty really said that? ”
Yang said proudly: "The master borrowed a few courages from the old slave, and the old slave did not dare to preach the will of the saint without permission. ”
Concubine Liu hurriedly pushed the gold back, and said kindly: "Yang Changshi, I also hope that you will read the love between Gillian and His Majesty when they were young, and help my Gillian say good things, Guantao will never treat you badly!" ”
Yang smirked bitterly and shook his head and said: "Master, you think too highly of the old slave, the old slave is just a little eunuch in Yongxiang now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even see the holy face in the future!" ”
"Huh?" Concubine Liu was shocked again: "Your Majesty actually punished the permanent servant for this matter?" ”
Yang sneered proudly: "Your Majesty's heavenly power is unpredictable, who let the old slave wade into this muddy water!" Master, the old slave has been brought, and he is leaving! ”
After that, Yang proudly turned around and walked out of the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, and Liu Yan thought about it repeatedly, what did she do wrong in this matter, not only did it not make Liu Che change his mind, but it made the heavenly court so angry?
After thinking for a while, Liu Yan suddenly figured out one thing. At that time, his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou, was in power, and his relatives interfered in politics for decades, which made Liu Che always jealous of his relatives and the people in the palace interacting in private, but he completely ignored this. Let Yang proudly hand over the silk scroll, and not say what the so-called is, this move alone will make Liu Che think that he has a private relationship with the palace attendants, so not only will it not help, but it will touch the emperor's taboo, and Yang proudly will be demoted to Yongxiang, which is also expected.
Thinking of this, Liu Concubine regretted it a lot, she was smart all her life, why was she so confused this time? If you really care, it will be chaotic, and as soon as this incident comes out, I am afraid that the reconciliation of the emperor and queen is even more far away. As soon as I thought of the words "I will never enter Changmen Garden again in this life", Liu Concubine was cold to the bottom of her heart, even if she and Yang were proud to have a private relationship, Liu Che didn't have to be angry with Gillian, at least the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and the husband and wife had been married for more than ten years, and they would never enter Changmen Garden again in this life, how could you be so ruthless?
"Okay, you Liu Che, I didn't expect you to be so affectionate now, I was really wrong to entrust Gillian with you at the beginning!" Liu stomped her feet and muttered to herself.
-----
In the Changmen Garden, Gillian dressed up every day, waiting for Liu Che to take her back to the palace, and saw Liu Juan's sedan chair outside the garden gate from a distance, Gillian ran over happily: "Mother, but Your Majesty is going to take Gillian back to the palace?" ”
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Jiao'er, Your Majesty has had a lot of state affairs recently, and it will take some time to take Gillian back." ”
"Humph!" Gillian said hatefully, "It must be that little slut of Wei Zifu pestering Your Majesty again, see how I clean her up after I return to the palace!" ”
Back to the palace? Gillian, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to your Jiaofang Palace in your life. When Liu Yan heard this, a wave of sadness surged in her heart, and her expression changed slightly.
"Mother, what's wrong with you, are you too tired all the way? Come inside and sit! Gillian looked at her mother with a gloomy expression and couldn't help but worry.
"Xu is tired of sitting in a sedan chair, and it is not in the way." Concubine Liu suppressed her sadness and smiled slightly: "Gillian, you are the queen of the Han Dynasty, don't be so careful when you enter the palace again, Your Majesty will not like it." ”
Gillian blushed slightly and said, "Got it, mother." ”
Liu Concubine saw that as soon as Gillian mentioned Liu Che, she looked like a little woman, and boundless sadness overflowed her heart. As long as there is hope, Gillian is always happy, and it is a while that she can hide it.
