Chapter 197: The Taiping Family Mansion (Part II)
Taichu Palace, Shuangyao City, just arrived, the sky was just dawning, the morning light was a line, and it was still dark in all directions.
The group walked out of the East Palace.
First of all, a group of palace maids, two rows of palace maids lined up on both sides of the road, holding octagonal palace lamps for lighting, a palace maid walked in the front to lead the way, her dress was no different from other palace maids, but the figure was enchanting, delicate and full, with her head held high, full of confidence, and there was no shrinking form of slaves and servants.
She is the most favored maid Wei Tuan'er by the side of the Empress Wu.
The person in the back, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a purple and gold crown to the sky, and a slightly chubby figure, is the imperial heir Li Dan.
Every morning, he has to go to the palace of the Empress Wu to greet him, this is a rare moment of solitude between him and the mother and son of the Empress Wu, and it is also a sign of his political status.
Because of the back of the one in front of him who wore flowers and willows.
The pair of plump buttocks, with the slim waist, are still attractive, but he can't afford to think about it.
Empress Wu stayed in the Hall of Eternal Life last night, the palace maids arrived at the gate of the Eternal Life Courtyard, and the geese divided into two lines, curling away, Wei Tuan'er stopped for a moment, and when Li Dan approached, he turned slightly sideways, first Li Dan took half a step, led the way by his side, and entered the Eternal Life Courtyard together.
From this place to the Hall of Eternal Life, this section of the road, only the two of them walked.
"His Royal Highness is ruthless, how much time has passed, but he doesn't even have half a heart-warming word, Tuan'er is so pickled and cheap, not in the eyes of His Highness?" Wei Tuan'er deliberately slowed down, speaking in his mouth, but his lips only moved slightly, and after a few words, he was already full of tears.
"Wei Niangzi misunderstood, this palace is not a heartless person, you have blue eyes, this palace is still happy, how can you dislike it? It's just that in the palace, there are many ears and eyes, and there are many inconveniences in acting, so you need to be more patient, and you need to be more patient.
"What Your Highness said is true?" Wei Tuan'er was not so easy to deal with, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.
Li Dan pressed a ignorant karmic fire in his chest, and his gaze circled around the upright behind her, half-truth, half-truth, half-truth, half-truth, "Wei Niangzi, don't blame this palace for being frivolous, your figure makes me unable to sleep peacefully for a long time"
Wei Tuan'er chuckled, her eyebrows curled up smugly, since she arrived before the martial queen, she did not lack confidence, no matter how strong and powerful a man is, he is just a cat who can't see the fishy smell.
"Son-in-law Li Dan, respectfully invite the mother emperor Sheng'an" kneeling down, his arms straight, his palms pressed on the ground, his waist pole was deeply bent, and his forehead touched the ground, just between his palms.
Empress Wu also got up, facing the sky, wearing only a snow-white silk underwear, sitting cross-legged on the couch with a big horse golden knife, and the palace maid behind her took care of her hair, her complexion was very bad, and she looked at Li Dan, who was fully clothed, and only felt upset and irritable, and it was very eye-catching, "Get up, bow down and be fine, if it's okay, you can step down."
"The mother, the sons heard that the imperial doctor Shen Nanmiao was sick, the imperial doctor Shen has served the royal family for decades, and he has worked hard, and he intends to send an envoy to ask questions, and give generous gifts, please ask the mother emperor for permission" Li Dan dared to propose, this is his temptation, the prince of the East Palace has become his own government office, and his subordinate officials are fully equipped with civil and military affairs, and his actions can be self-dictated, but he, the imperial heir, is not, he acts in secret, and is silent like a pool of stagnant water on the bright side, and then he does not move twice, I am afraid that the government and the opposition have forgotten the world, and he is the prince.
Empress Wu frowned, since Xue Huaiyi's death, the men around her are only Shen Nanmiao, but unfortunately her dragon and phoenix posture is not something that ordinary people can enjoy for a long time, and after less than a year of being spoiled, Shen Nanmiao's blood has dried up, described as withered, and bedridden.
Although Empress Wu is old, her muscles are plump and beautiful, and she is strong, she has not known the taste of meat for several months, which is also the reason why her complexion and mood are not good.
"Heh, it's hard for you to have a heart" A trace of ridicule flashed across Empress Wu's face, this little bit of caution, she could take care of it in her sleep, "Yan Xiuchu recovered from his illness, he has not yet been appointed as an official, he is swimming outside, and he has repeatedly caused trouble, it is really not a long-term solution, so let him be the prince's guest, and go this for you."
"Erchen obeys the order, Xie Mu Huang" Li Dan was frightened, bitter in his heart, let Wu Yanxiu go, no matter what identity he is, he will only represent the martial family.
"Go down" moved his fingers to crush his son's careful thoughts, Empress Wu did not have the slightest joy, and did not want to say more to him, waved his hand and waved away, got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Li Dan bowed respectfully, and when he looked up, he happened to see the silhouette of the mother emperor, his heart was hot for a moment, and he immediately became cold, it was still too reckless, not only did he fail to do so, but he got Wu Yanxiu into his East Palace.
Li Dan withdrew from the Eternal Life Courtyard and walked towards his palace, muttering to himself in his mouth, and forbearance with a knife in his heart.
In Princess Taiping's Mansion, Xue Chongyin took his younger brothers to the main hall to greet him.
They didn't enter the courtyard, they stopped in front of the majestic aconitum gate, Xue Chongyin bowed his hand slightly, "Sister Xiangnu told her mother, the child Chongyin, and brought the three younger brothers to greet him."
Xiangnu bent his knees and blessed a blessing, saying that he knew that this form had lasted for a long time, and he used to go to the door of the princess's bedroom to ask for peace, but since Zhang Changzong entered the house, he moved to the gate of the main hall.
After saying hello, Xue Chongyin ordered someone to take Xue Chongjian back to the courtyard to take care of him, and the remaining three went out of the door together, and they met the rare guest Wu Youji in the house.
Wu Youji's expression was depressed and angry, Princess Taiping was getting more and more excessive, he couldn't bear it anymore, the preparations for the farewell house were going well, or it wouldn't be long before he didn't have to go back to this shameful place.
Seeing a few half-grown teenagers, he tried his best to squeeze out a warm smile and asked a few words about today's itinerary.
"The child is going to the Wu'an County Mansion"
"The Child Will Go to the Prison"
"Chongyin is going to visit General Fan Yunxian"
To this father and stepfather, the three brothers are not very close, and the answer is very brief.
Wu Youji nodded, his mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything to teach, his eyes were gloomy for a moment, "Chongmin, Chongxing, last night your mother dreamed with me, saying that she missed you, and she went to her grave tomorrow to pay respects."
"Yes," Wu Chongmin bowed his head and responded.
"Father, how is the mother dreaming? But is there still the pain of illness? The child also misses her mother, why doesn't she come to the child's dream? Wu Chongxing was a few years younger, a little more careless, pulling Wu Youji's sleeves and asking with a raised face.
"She's fine" Wu Youji didn't lie, the wife in the dream, with a sweet smile, stepped on a pink cloud, dancing in mid-air, he wanted to reach out to pull her, but he couldn't even touch the hair.
Chang'an Ancient Road, Longmen Station.
Nearly 10,000 military horses are stationed here, full of dust and murderous spirit.
In a small courtyard, the generals of this army gathered, next to it, there was a coffin, made of pink ivory wood, which was Ashina Hu Therro to break through the nest of Ashina Lizi, and the seized spoils were brought by Ashina Lizi, unique, I heard that there were nobles in the Great Zhou Dynasty looking for precious wood, and they were busy offering it in person.
Quan Ce raised his eyes and looked around, Wang Xiaojie, Hou Sizhi, Zhao Youhuan, Xie Yaohuan, and Rui Lai, who was immortal in the coffin, and the commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army, were all here.
"Everyone, ......" Quan Ce made a start, but felt that there was nothing to say, and Tuan Tuan arched his hand.
Wang Xiaojie clenched his fists and strode away, he had to admit that the Wuwei Dao expedition commanded by the chief of Quan Ce won a complete victory, and he respected this result.
Hou Sizhi and Zhao Youhuan stayed in the courtyard for a long time, and waited for Quan Ce to wave his hand before stroking his chest and giving a military salute.
Quan Ce stopped in front of the pink coffin and did not return to his room until late at night.
Xie Yaohuan followed, and Quan Ce was surprised.
"Da Lang, change your clothes, tomorrow, follow me back to the capital first"
Quan Ce nodded, he couldn't enter the city with the army and enjoy the glory, he had to come out of the Shangqing Temple to wear the guilt.
Xie Yaohuan was holding a set of clothes prepared by Qianniu, seeing that he was smiling slightly under the light, without sadness or suffering, and he didn't feel stupid.
