Before dawn, the hibiscus tent was warm, and Liu Che's ears came from Yang's proud whisper: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and go to court early!" ”

"I know!" Liu Che replied softly, looking at Wei Zifu sleeping beside him, he couldn't help but feel a little sweeter in his heart. The beautiful woman under the green silk has eyebrows and eyes like daisies, the paintings are far away from the mountains, the nose is like Qiong Yao, the lips are like the crescent moon, the apricot face and peach cheeks, and the skin is like condensation.

"Yang is proud, you don't have to go to court with me today." Dressed well, Liu Che said proudly to Yang, "When Miss Wei wakes up, you will be waiting for you." ”

"No!" Yang responded proudly and waited for Liu Che to set off.

"And..." Liu Che turned around again and instructed: "Find a few trustworthy people to serve Miss Wei, you know what happened last night!" ”

"No!" Yang replied proudly: "The old slave understands! The old slave will do it! ”

"Good!" Liu Che nodded reassuringly, walked out of the inner hall, and when the surrounding area was quiet again, Wei Zifu slowly opened his eyes. The rhombic pane of auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes leaked a few rays of morning light, the furnishings in the hall showed different shades of silhouette in the morning light, and the blue and white incense burner on the side of the red sandalwood inlaid jade bed was slowly incense, and it was so peaceful and peaceful on the first day of the palace.

As early as when Liu Che and Yang were talking proudly, Wei Zifu had already woken up, listening to his meticulous arrangements, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more down-to-earth and warm. There was still his residual warmth in the futon on his side, and Wei Zifu couldn't help but turn sideways, close his eyes and sniff his scent, reminiscing about every bit of their encounter to the present.

-----

When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight had cast a bright shadow on the lake silk brocade curtain, Wei Zifu looked at the sky and estimated that it was past the hour, and was about to get up, but he heard a commotion from outside the hall.

"You dog slave, you dare to deceive this palace and say, where is the little slut you brought last night?"

"Queen, the old slave served His Majesty early in the morning, I really don't know who the queen is looking for!"

"It's really so easy to fool this palace, search!"

Wei Zifu also heard this voice yesterday, and he didn't need to guess to know who was coming, thinking of the situation last night, Wei Zifu couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, if he really searched the inner hall, he would definitely not be able to hide this time, what should I do? Wei Zifu had no idea, so he could only take one step at a time, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, and at this time, the sound of the queen mother suddenly arrived outside the hall.

"The Queen Mother?" Wei Zifu was shocked, why did the Queen Mother come over? In a panic, Wei Zifu only listened to the words outside the hall and clearly fell into his ears word by word.

"Gillian, what are you shouting about here this early in the morning?" Although the Queen Mother's voice was kind, it also revealed irresistible majesty.

"The Queen Mother?" Chen Ajiao stepped forward to ask for a salute and asked in surprise, "Why did the queen mother come here too?" ”

"Isn't it true that the queen mother also knows that His Majesty brought back a woman from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, right?" When Chen Ajiao saw the queen mother arriving at this time, she affirmed the conjecture in her heart even more.

"Hahaha!" The Queen Mother smiled, "The mourning family naturally knows!" ”

The Queen Mother's answer surprised Yang, and she saw Chen Ajiao say, "Hmph! The palace has been thinking about how His Majesty has always loved to go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion recently, until he returned drunk last night, and insisted on resting in the Yongyan Palace, it turns out that there is really such a thing! Chen Ajiao was furious, took another step closer to Yang Deyi, and asked sharply: "Say!" Where's that little slut? ”

Although it was late spring, the sweat on Yang Deyi's head was swishing at this time, and he was thinking about how to answer, when the Queen Mother's voice came unhurriedly, "Yang Deyi, where is the person who Pingyang asked you to bring to the mourning family?" ”

"Mocker?" Chen Ajiao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

"Yes, Confessor!" The Queen Mother walked over, glanced at Chen Ajiao, and said slowly: "Pingyang knows that the mourning family is boring in the palace, and she can't accompany her all the time, so yesterday she sent the mourners into the palace to relieve the boredom of the mourning family." ”

"Who would have thought that when the mourning family first came here, they saw the queen making noise here." The Queen Mother continued, "The queen is so impatient, won't she lose your status as a queen?" The Queen Mother's words were neither soft nor hard, and Chen Ajiao's face couldn't help but sneer.

"Since it is the imperial sister who gave it to the queen mother, why not send it to Changle Palace, but in this Yongyan Palace?" Chen Ajiao asked unwillingly.

"That's why the mourners are here." The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Yang Deyi: "Yang Deyi, what about people?" ”

Yang proudly pressed the panic in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive the Queen Mother!" It's just that the palace maid who is responsible for cleaning the inner hall occasionally feels cold, and the old slave can't find a suitable person for a while, so... Therefore ask the one who is helping to clean the inner sanctum..."

While he was talking, Liu Che went down to the Yongyan Palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, he noticed the abnormality, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry, and hurriedly accelerated his pace and walked towards the main hall. When I entered the main hall, I saw my mother and Chen Ajiao standing in the hall, but I didn't see Wei Zifu left and right, and I felt a little comforted in my heart, and I hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute and said: "Erchen has seen the queen mother!" ”

When the Queen Mother saw Liu Che coming, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty is here, that's the best!" ”

"The queen mother..."Liu Che was about to speak, the queen mother gestured with her eyes, shook her head slightly, and said: "Your imperial sister gave the mourner to the mourning family, and now she is cleaning the inner hall, and when she finishes cleaning, His Majesty asked Yang to send her to the mourning palace." ”

The one sent by the royal sister? Cleaning the inner sanctum? Liu Che immediately understood what his mother meant.

"No! Later, Erchen asked Yang to send her to his mother's harem. Liu Che responded.

"Good!" The Queen Mother smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Che meaningfully, turned around and said, "Then the mourning family will go back to the palace first!" ”

Liu Che's heart was weak, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Son-in-law sends off his mother!" ”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!" Chen Ajiao also gave gifts.

Seeing that Chen Ajiao still didn't leave, Liu Che said: "Is there anything else to do with the queen?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Ajiao couldn't find anything wrong, so she bowed and said, "The concubine retires!" Yan snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Liu Che hurriedly asked Xiang Yang Deyi: "Where is Miss Wei?" ”

Yang proudly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Your Majesty, Miss Wei is in the inner hall, fortunately, the Queen Mother came just now, otherwise the old slave wouldn't know what to do!" ”

"You're smart!" Liu Che smiled and said, "You hurry up and take Miss Wei to the Empress Mother's Changle Palace, and I will go later." Thinking of the Queen Mother's slight shaking of her head, Liu Che knew that her mother had the heart to protect herself.

"No! The old slave will take Miss Wei over! Yang proudly entered and saw that Wei Zifu was already dressed and standing on one side, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Wei, the matter of suitable talents should be clear!" ”

Wei Zifu bowed his head and said: "Thank you for the waiter, Zifu understands!" ”

"Okay, then follow the old slave to the Queen Mother's Changle Palace!" Yang made a gesture of please.

Wei Zifu bowed slightly, stepped out of the inner hall, and saw Liu Che standing in the main hall, Wei Zifu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Wei Zifu has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che approached, hugged Wei Zifu and said in a good voice: "Zifu, you go to the queen mother with Yang proudly, and I will arrive later!" ”

"No!" Wei Zifu answered, and followed Yang to Changle Palace proudly.

-----

"The Empress Dowager, Yang Nei led Wei Zifu, the Marquis of Pingyang, to come." The palace maid bent over and played.

The Queen Mother took a sip of cloud tea, and said slowly: "I know, let Yang go back first, and asked him to let His Majesty not have to come over to ask for peace these days, so that he can accompany the queen." ”

"No!" The palace maid was about to retreat, and the queen mother put down the teacup and said, "Bring the mourner to the mourning family." ”

The palace maid responded with a respectful voice, and after a short time, she led Wei Zifu into the palace of Changle Palace. Changle Palace is in the east of Chengming Palace, built on the basis of Qin Xingle Palace for Han Gaozu in five years, it took two years to build, and it was changed to the residence of the Queen Mother since Emperor Hui. The winding red walls and blue tiles staggered the royal palaces with flying eaves and arches, and went out of Weiyang Palace through the east and west to enter the palace gate of Changle Palace. Although Changle Palace is not as rich and luxurious as Weiyang Palace, but there is a natural interest, the palace is full of planting and cultivating bamboo, even if it is late spring, but it is still full of spring after the cultivation of skillful hand palace people, the phoenix tail is forested, the dragon is fine, and the face is full of verdant.

The queen mother sat under the porch, and the two personal palace maids were waiting carefully, and the palace maids who led the way bowed forward and said: "Qi play the queen mother, the princess's mansion is brought by Wei Zifu." Wei Zifu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said loudly: "Wei Zifu, the critic of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes slightly and said, "You are Wei Zifu?" Raise your head and let the mourners see. ”

Wei Zifu slowly raised his head as he said, the Queen Mother fixed her eyes and sighed that she was really a beautiful embryo, her face was delicate like the first bloom of hibiscus, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

The Queen Mother said kindly: "Get up, you and Your Majesty's affairs are known to the mourning family, for now you stay in the mourning palace, and discuss the matter in the future!" ”

While he was talking, the deacon and eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty has arrived!" The sound outside the palace gate came from afar, and the queen mother raised her hand slightly and signaled: "The mourning family knows, Wei Zifu, you stay, and the rest of the people go down!" ”

"No!" The surrounding palace people bowed down one by one, and Wei Zifu stood aside with his eyes down when he heard this.

Not long after, Liu Che brought Yang Smug over and stepped forward to give a salute: "Son-in-law greets the queen mother!" ”

Queen Dowager looked slightly gloomy, and reprimanded softly: "Didn't the mourning family let Yang proudly tell His Majesty that he didn't have to come over to say hello these days?" ”

Liu Che stepped forward and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Wei Zifu's affairs have not yet revealed the truth to the queen mother, and on the way to come, I happened to meet Yang proudly returning to the palace, and in a hurry, this slave did not tell the queen mother to his sons." ”

Yang proudly heard the words and hurriedly leaned over to apologize: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the old slave was so confused that she forgot what the Queen Mother told the old slave, please punish the Queen Mother!" ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother said angrily: "Okay, this is Changle Palace, you don't have to play this trick in front of the mourning family, get up!" ”

Liu Che stood aside and said with a smile: "Yang is proud, you go down first!" Yang hurriedly bowed down and retreated with interest.

"Queen Mother!" Liu Che approached the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, and said, "Erchen returned from the imperial sister's mansion last night, and he was thinking about coming to his mother's harem in the morning today..."

"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother asked unhurriedly.

Liu Che glanced at Wei Zifu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, in fact, the son husband she..."

The Queen Mother glanced at Liu Che and interrupted: "The mourning family has long known!" There are many people in the palace, and if the mourning family doesn't even know about it, how can they sit in the harem? ”

Hearing this, Liu Che knelt down and said, "Since the queen mother already knows, the sons dare not hide anything, and ask the queen mother to fulfill it!" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Liu Che and asked, "How do you want to mourn the family?" ”

Liu Che looked at his mother and said with full expectations: "Queen Mother, I want to make my husband my wife, and I ask the Queen Mother for permission!" ”

Looking at Liu Che's expectant eyes, the Queen Mother sighed slowly and remained silent. Seeing that his mother was silent, Liu Che hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The son asks the queen mother to be fulfilled!" ”

After a long time, the Queen Mother said slowly: "Your Majesty should go back to Weiyang Palace first, Wei Zifu will not wronged her here in the mourning family!" ”

"Queen Mother..."Liu Che didn't know what his mother meant, and asked: "What does the Queen Mother mean?" Since Erchen has already performed the ceremony of Duke Zhou with his son-in-law, why can't he canonize her as his wife? ”

"The mourning family has its own determination for this matter!" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, her eyes were not raised, and her expression was solemn.

"Queen Mother..."Liu Che was about to say more, but Wei Zifu quietly tugged at the corner of Liu Che's clothes and shook his head gently.

The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first!" This matter will be discussed later! ”

"Wei Zifu, still don't you want to send your majesty?" The Queen Mother's voice was full of anger and authority.

"No!" Wei Zifu responded respectfully and said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the son-in-law is all right here with the Queen Mother, and please return to the palace as soon as possible for the sake of state affairs." ”

"Zifu..." Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu with reluctance, Wei Zifu nodded and smiled at him, Liu Che had to say helplessly: "I know, you are here to accompany your mother." ”

The queen mother still didn't say a word, Liu Che bowed slightly to her mother and saluted: "Son-in-law retires!" ”
