"Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine. I tried the curtain people, but the begonias were still the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin. Li Hongli stood in front of the window and slowly read this song Li Qingzhao's "Like a Dream Order".

It rained overnight, in the hazy morning, the rain had just stopped, and the rain in the severe heat was a timely rain for the originally arid Guanzhong area, and this year's crops did not have to be afraid of being killed by drought in the ground.

What really happened on a rainy night in the palace is clear to some and not to others. In short, the night was as usual, and the night was turned upside down.

The night rain seemed to dissipate in the early morning fog as if to match everything that happened last night. The rain washed away the red on the bluestone slabs, but it couldn't wash away the air, as if there was still a trace of sadness and fishy smell.

Li Hong knew that there were some palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, who would never appear in front of his eyes again, and the harem was marching in accordance with the historical records of later generations on this night, and its owner finally changed hands on this night.

The sadness of last night remained on the petals of the purple and red flowers, and the drops of dew seemed to be the tears that had not been shed last night. At this moment, in the quiet morning, silently narrating and complaining about the poignancy that happened last night.

"The slave has seen the king." Mangzhong's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't rested well all night last night.

"How?"

"Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu are fine, but they have moved from the original palace to the depths of the harem, and the palace maids and eunuchs around them have all changed their faces." Mangzhong said.

This should have been planned by the mother concubine a long time ago, these palace maids and eunuchs, I am afraid that they were all cultivated by the mother concubine in the harem in the past few years.

"Go down and rest." Li Hong's voice was a little low.

Mangzhong stood there without moving, his throat squirming for a long time, obviously he wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to dare to say it.

Li Hong turned to look at him and asked, "Do you want to say that I should be happy at this moment?" ”

"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid just think that you should not be like this on behalf of the king...... So....... Mang Chong didn't know how to describe the expression on the face of the three-year-old and almost four-year-old child in front of him.

"Acting king, what Mangzhong said is true." Xia Zhi suddenly knelt down in front of Li Hong, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty has set up Zhaoyi as the queen mother of my Tang Dynasty yesterday, if the acting king is not happy at the moment, I am afraid it will cause you inconvenience, although everything last night was not what the acting king wants to see, but you are still young now, and you have already done what you should do." ”

At the end, Xia Zhi's whole body was trembling, these words were not what they slaves and maids should say, but they hoped in their hearts that the acting king, who was giggling every day, would come back quickly, instead of having such a worried face now.

Li Hong patted Xia Zhi's shoulder and motioned him to get up, and said lightly: "Don't say anything like this in the future, although it is said that there are no outsiders here, but if it spreads, it will not be good for you." ”

"Slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should not talk nonsense......." Mang Chong also knelt in front of Li Hong for the first time, and the two of them pleaded guilty in fear with Xia Zhi.

"Get up, I don't blame you. I went up to the front to relax, and after a while, I came back with the cheetah and the others, and asked them to go to the front to find me. Li Hong looked at the two kneeling in front of him, and his heart became even more irritable, so he simply left and went to the small garden to be clean and clean.

There seemed to be a faint amount of blood hidden in the air, and after taking a few deep breaths of the originally moist and fresh air after the rain, Li Hong felt that he wanted to vomit, as if the miserable screams of last night, stained with blood, were frozen in the air and could not be dispersed for a long time.

With a little pale face, he didn't walk on the winding path paved with bluestone slabs, or on the winding goose warm stone road, but stepped on the wet soil, patting the dew on the petals with a deep and shallow foot, as if he wanted to pat the fishy smell that dripped on the pure petals last night and then slapped it under his feet and then submerged in the soil.

Everything that happened last night, he had already prepared in his heart, and even before all this happened, he had some faint expectations in his heart, looking forward to this moment coming quickly, and then hurrying over. In any case, it is easier than waiting for a tragedy to happen.

But when the real bloody storm happened in the rainy night last night, his ears seemed to hear the lonely ghosts in the wilderness, and there were bursts of miserable cries in the silent night sky, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. was already mentally prepared, but when the first scream occurred, it completely broke his psychological defense.

Mangzhong, Jingjing, Hua Meng, and Cheetah were all sent out by him, and even Yiyang and Gao'an arranged for Xiaoxue and Xiaohan to wait, for fear that someone in the chaos last night had bad intentions and killed his brothers and sisters.

He believed that he was in the mother's concubine, no, now the queen mother. With the degree of favor he was in front of his mother and father, I am afraid that there will be no one in the entire palace who dares to kill people in front of his personal palace maid.

His feet were already covered with mud, but he didn't feel that the weight of his shoes was aggravated by the mud under his feet, and he still walked through the small garden, patting the petals with his hands at will, and the petals that had been slapped slowly fell behind him like a rain of flowers after he passed, with a hint of loneliness and a hint of heaviness in the splendor.

"The slave has seen the king." The stinging and others searched for a long time, and only then did they find the king on his face who didn't know whether it was rain or tears on his face.

"Say."

"King Xu Li Xiao is fine."

"King Li Shangjin is fine."

"Yongwang Li Sujie is fine."

"Back to the king, Princess Yiyang and Gao'an are fine."

Li Hong nodded, didn't speak, squatted down and didn't know what to do in the flowers, and a few people didn't dare to speak, just quietly watched the small figure drowned in the flowers.

After a while, the acting king slowly got up with the usual smile on his face, and there were several snails crawling on his little hands, which were slowly crawling towards his wrists in his small hands.

"It looks hard, but it's actually fragile, just like this palace, it seems to be strong, and once it is destroyed, everything in it will be destroyed. Summer solstice, accompany me to the queen mother, by the way, you can also accompany me. Li Hong didn't change his shoes, so he wore two shoes stained with mud and walked towards Wu Mei's palace.

Xia Zhi and Mangzhong glanced at each other, and then looked at the snail in Li Hong's hand, and always felt that the king took the snail, not like a metaphor for him and several other princes and princesses, but it was very similar to a metaphor for the prince Li Zhong in the East Palace, it seemed that there was a prince with six rates as a guard, but in front of the queen and His Majesty, those guards were like the shell of this snail, very fragile.

"The son-in-law Li Hong has seen the queen mother." Wu Mei was sitting in the palace coaxing Li Xian, who had just woken up, and the sound of beating came from outside the palace to her ears, and the sound should be some distance away from the palace door.

"It's getting more and more unruly, isn't this Shangguan Yi very idle recently, hasn't the palace reminded him, why can't this royal etiquette be seen on the acting king." Wu Mei sighed in her heart, frowned and muttered.

Now the whole harem can give her a headache, is her eldest son, it's just a skin monkey, this is less than four years old, the idea is very right, no matter how to discipline it is useless, after the punishment, still don't care about going their own way.

The palace maid on the side forgot to glance at the door, listening to the voice of the acting king, I am afraid that there will be no time for dozens of breaths, so she lowered her head and smiled and said: "Queen, the acting king is still young, and when he is older, he will not make you angry again." You don't know that Daiwang has been different from other babies since he was a child, that is, he cries with his evil smile even when he cries. ”

"Alas...... Yes, this little thing hasn't bothered Hongu since he was a child, it seems to be ...... It seems that he has been very well-behaved and sensible since he was born, he eats when he should eat, sleeps when he should sleep, and does not cry or make trouble. ”

"Don't wet the bed yet, a few days ago, Xia Solstice came to give you ice cream to honor your king, just in time for the slave maid to wait for King Lu, Xia Zhi was also surprised to say that she had been thinking hard for a long time, since you handed over the king to her to wait, it seems that the king has not wetted the bed." The palace maid covered her mouth and snickered as she spoke.

Wu Mei also chuckled and said: "Yes, I was sensible when I was a child, look at it now, I will be ignorant when I grow up, I still have to let this palace worry about it, this little thing, I'm afraid I feel that I didn't exhaust this palace when I was a child, and now I don't want to go with it anymore." ”

"Son-in-law Li Hong once again saw the queen mother's ......." Li Hong made a grimace at the palace maid who saluted him at the door.

"This little leather monkey." Wu Mei sighed helplessly again, looked down at the obedient Li Xian in her arms, touched her little cheek, and then looked up at Li Hong who walked in.

If you don't look at it, it doesn't matter, but at a glance, Wu Mei's jade-like smooth forehead is once again crowded with black lines.

"You little thing, I'm really angry with the queen mother, you come over to me." Wu Mei was really angry this time, watching the little guy walk in all the way, and then on the precious Persian carpet under her feet, there were eye-catching small mud footprints.

handed Li Xian in his arms to the palace maid, got up quickly, and ran out without waiting for Li Hong to react, grabbed the collar and pulled it over.

"Look, where are you going crazy again? What do you eat? Even let the king wear mud on his feet, and he didn't change his shoes when he was sloppy, how did you serve the king! This...... This garment is wet anyway, you ...... You're going to be angry with your mother, aren't you? You get down on my knees. ”

Wu Mei's words frightened Mang Chong and Xia Zhi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, kowtowing like pounding garlic there to plead guilty, one sentence at a time: "Slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should die." ”

The person concerned giggled heartlessly, letting himself be dragged around by Wu Mei, looking up and down at his damp clothes, gently patting the dew on it with his hand, and his anxious eyes filled Li Hong's heart with contradictory warmth. At this moment, Wu Mei is like an ordinary mother worried about her child.

"The son misses his mother." Li Hong watched Wu Mei pull the dew of his shirt with both hands, enjoying the rare warmth of mother and son, and suddenly hugged Wu Mei's neck and muttered.

Wu Mei's hands stiffened, holding Li Hong lying in her arms, stroking the back of her little head with one hand, and muttering, "What's wrong Hong'er?" It's okay, last night was a dream, Hong'er is not afraid, there is a queen mother. ”
