Chapter 254: What a coincidence
Lufu, although it has passed spring and midsummer, the flowers in the mansion are still blooming, so if you look at it alone, it looks like you have arrived at the imperial garden.
However, this beautiful and quiet scenery was added to a staccato cry, which suddenly added a depression to the whole courtyard.
"Madam, my husband said that he would save Lan'er, so naturally he wouldn't have watched her being locked up by the emperor like this. Lan'er is not only your granddaughter, but also my granddaughter. Listening to his wife's cry, he inevitably felt a little more irritable in his heart, but he still tried to maintain a calm tone.
The old lady nodded, she could understand her husband's difficulties, but Lan'er was something she grew up watching, and she had suffered like this, how could she feel sad in her heart.
Thinking of this, the old tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes again.
sighed, looked at the sad appearance of the old wife, and said, "Okay, you go back to rest and rest first, Lan'er's affairs will be ordered by her husband now." ”
Wiping the tears from his face, he was about to say something, but finally swallowed his words back and left the courtyard with the girl.
"Come on, what the prime minister ordered to go down before, let's start now." Summoned his henchmen, his face gloomy.
The henchman raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, the good day he said before had not yet come, why was Xiang Ye so anxious today, and after pondering for a few breaths, he still said: "Xiang Ye, do you want to stop slowing down?" ”
He didn't know that this was not the best time, but he didn't have any good way, "No need, just do as you are told." ”
The people below nodded, saluted, and immediately withdrew.
Five days later, "Your Majesty, the southern country sent an envoy to go to our dynasty to marry Qin and Jin, and now that the people are already on the way, it should be there in a few days." ”
Nanguo did send a letter before, and he agreed to this matter, but he didn't expect the mission to come so quickly.
"The Ministry of Rites has arranged the affairs of the post house, and the Ministry of War will send some people over to strengthen the guards, and after the southern delegation enters Beijing, we will arrange for them to come over." The emperor said lightly.
Nanguo just saw that they had been here for the past two years, so they made such a decision. If they were still in the same situation as a few years ago, I am afraid that this will be a time of war.
There was nothing wrong with the emperor's decision, but the minister who spoke before was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, this time the southern mission is not so simple, I heard that the emperor and the concubine of the southern kingdom are very fond of this little son, so this time the concubine and the prince are here together." ”
In this case, things are not so simple, the southern concubines are here, and there must be someone in the harem to receive them, but no one in the harem can take on this great responsibility.
raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zai, who had not spoken in front of him now, and could more or less guess that the matter of the southern concubine was related to him.
"Lin Zhaoyi's performance these days is good, if she is a concubine, she can also represent the concubine of the Southern Kingdom." The emperor said lightly that in his selfish heart he was unwilling to let Lu Guifei lift the ban.
This sentence seemed to have become a fuse, and the ministers objected one after another.
"Your Majesty, although the southern country is a small place, it is also a key place for me to face the south, so no matter what, please pay attention to your majesty's visit to the southern country this time." The head of the household is still in the face of death.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, everyone knelt down one after another, "I beg Your Majesty to be gracious and suspend the grounding of Concubine Lu." "Look at good books
Hearing this, she looked at everyone with a pale face, putting aside everything, Lu Guifei was indeed the most suitable person.
At this time, even if he is unwilling, he must give priority to national affairs, "Since all the ministers think it is reasonable, I naturally will not have other opinions." He turned his head and said to Xiao Luzi beside him: "You go and pass the decree, postpone the period of grounding in the Heart Palace, and wait until the affairs of the southern kingdom are over." ”
After hearing this, the smile on Lu Zai's face flashed, and then he said: "Your Majesty, Lu Guifei has never done such a thing as receiving envoys from other countries, so it is better to let the old minister give you some guidance after the next dynasty." ”
The emperor nodded, "Okay, quasi-play." ”
It's been so many days, Your Majesty still has no intention of lifting the ban, it seems that he really gets disgusted with her, looking up at the still bright sun, it's still so dazzling, obviously the summer has passed.
"Niangniang, Xiaoluzi is here, it must have come with His Majesty's will, maybe Your Majesty is no longer angry with you." Mama said with a smile.
There was no expression on her face, it was already now, it didn't matter if he was angry or not, she couldn't go out anyway.
Having said that, the news brought by Xiao Luzi still gave birth to a little hope in her heart, and he left after bringing the will.
The excited grandmother wiped the tears on her face and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang." ”
If His Majesty really lifted the ban on her, she would definitely be very happy in her heart, but now it is just a last resort to temporarily lift the ban, what is there to be happy about.
Seeing that she is still depressed, Mama can also understand that everything is still business as usual after the affairs of Nanguo are over, and there is no difference.
However, with these days of getting along, the unhappiness in His Majesty's heart will disappear a lot, and maybe it is not impossible that a happy person will no longer let the concubine be grounded.
But after these things, the concubine in front of her has grown up a lot, and the whole person is not the same as before.
When she was about to say something, the little palace maid came to spread the word that Lu Xiang was coming.
When she heard that her grandfather was coming, she became happy and hurriedly tidied up her clothes, for fear that the closest people would see her embarrassment.
"Grandpa, just came over from the next court, now that I've been lifted, you can come to see me whenever you want, don't be in such a hurry." Lu Guifei said with a smile, and she didn't seem to be sad because of the things in front of her.
He sighed and nodded slowly, but the distress in his eyes was not missing at all, "Can you hide your careful thoughts from grandpa?" Look at how thin you have become, it's only been a few days, and you don't know how to take good care of yourself. ”
Subconsciously touched his face, and hurriedly smiled to comfort the old man in front of him, "Grandpa, I've lost weight there, isn't it just right." If you are fatter, I am afraid that the door of this temple of devotion will be squeezed by my granddaughter. ”
After saying that, both grandparents and grandchildren laughed.
patted his granddaughter's hand, and then said: "Of course, the ban on you today is because of the affairs of the southern country, but Bu Saiyu is just a little Jieyu, and Your Majesty has no reason to ground you all the time because of her." So this time you must behave well and win the favor of the southern concubines, if they marry the daughter of my Lu family, Your Majesty will definitely not be difficult for you anymore. ”
She nodded, knowing what she was supposed to do today.
"I listen to grandpa." She smiled and agreed.
