"Brother Zhi, I'm not a young lady in Cao's mansion......" Zhao Yan looked at Liu Zhi's eyes, and finally said the reason for the misunderstanding between the two.
"Yan'er! What did you say! But it was Liu Zhi's face full of astonishment, looking at Zhao Yan with wide eyes, he had already regarded Zhao Yan as a person from Cao Mansion in his heart, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, your surname is Zhao, and I have also thought about it, but you are Cao Teng's niece." Liu Zhi still looked at Zhao Yan with a puzzled expression, and Zhao Yan told Liu Zhi about his life experience, how he fled with his brother, and how he was taken in by Cao Teng, etc., and Liu Zhi was full of surprise when he heard it.
But suddenly heard Zhao Yan's tone become cold, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven must be people-oriented, why are there so many homeless people at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" It turned out that when Zhao Yan talked about fleeing, when she talked about Xiahou and his wife, she remembered that Aunt Fan said that the officials turned a blind eye to these homeless people, and now that the middle of winter has passed, she has also sent someone to send some cotton clothes, but I think that these homeless people have an extremely difficult winter, and I don't feel angry for them, there is a master in front of her, how can she not ask.
Liu Zhiben heard that Zhao Yan was not a member of Cao's mansion, but when he heard Zhao Yan question him about the exiles, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved and said, "Why do you call me 'Your Majesty' again, what?" Are there so many displaced people at the foot of the capital? I really don't know! ”
Zhao Yan saw that he was sincere, and knew that he really didn't know, so he softened his tone, "Brother Zhi, as the Son of Heaven, why don't you let the responsible officials help those homeless people, Yan'er is also from a poor background, if you don't even care about these homeless Brother Zhi, then Yan'er will definitely be left aside by Brother Zhi one day......" Zhao Yan said that there was really some sadness in her heart here.
"How can I care about you, no matter what your background is, I will always love you, and when the time comes, give me a prince and make you a queen......" Liu Zhi heard Zhao Yan's words, his heart was very anxious, and he told his heart again and again, and his words were incoherent.
Hearing Liu Zhi say this, Zhao Yan's face turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Whoever wants to give you a prince, I'm really not ashamed ......" Don't look around.
"Yan'er, you also know that I just got into the government, before the Empress Dowager Liang was seriously ill, and Liang Ji was responsible for political affairs, do you know who is in charge of the political affairs in Beijing, then Henan Yin is Liang Ji's younger brother Liang Budo, although he is less than his brother, but he is also the same color, how can he care about the life and death of the people. Yan'er, don't worry, I will send someone to help the victims as soon as I return to the palace! Hearing Liu Zhi swear, Zhao Yan believed it, and turned her head to look at Liu Zhi again.
Who knew that Liu Zhi was sad and indignant, and he actually began to count Liang Ji's crimes, one by one, one by one, it was really difficult to write. Zhao Yan has heard some people, but some have not heard of it, Liang Ji's father Liang Shang was named a general because he married his daughter and sister to Emperor Shun of Han, and was named a general as a national abbot, after Liang Shang died of illness, Liang Ji attacked the marquis of Liang Shang and took over as a general. There is one thing that is more than ten years ago, when Liang Ji was appointed as Henan Yin, he was brutal and presumptuous, and he acted recklessly, and Luoyang County ordered Lu Fang to be friendly with his father Liang Shang, Lu Fang was grateful for Liang Shang's kindness, and did not want Liang Shang to be burdened by his son, and informed Liang Shang of Liang Ji's evil deeds, Liang Shang blamed Liang Ji, and Liang Ji held a grudge, assassinated Lu Fang on the road, and also blamed others, so that Lu Fang's younger brother would destroy all the people who were blamed by himself, which was really a loss of conscience.
"I was only four years old when I heard my father talk about it." Liu Zhi said indignantly, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel chills in her heart when she heard this.
"Yan'er, don't talk about this. I'm going to tell Cao Teng to take you into the palace, you stay in Cao's Mansion for a while, stay until the auspicious day of the zodiac, and marry you into the palace! Liu Zhi saw that Zhao Yan's figure was trembling a little, so he opened the topic.
"No, Brother Zhi, I'...... I won't enter the palace first......" Zhao Yan heard Liang Ji's madness, and heard that Liang Ji seemed to have poisoned the emperor beforehand, and she was afraid that the queen of the middle palace was Liang Ji's sister, if she entered the palace, I don't know how it would be concocted, and she was even more worried that Liu Zhi would be implicated and make him suffer.
"Yan'er! Don't you want to stay with me? Don't...... Are you already in love with others......" Liu Zhi was shocked, and then his tone changed to sadness.
"Brother Zhi, how could it be, I have only you in my heart, since then you have pulled me ......" Zhao Yan was afraid of being misunderstood by Liu Zhi, didn't she know that the last misunderstanding made the two of them extremely sad, and she really didn't want it to happen again, so she denied it again and again.
Liu Zhi knew Zhao Yan's intentions, and his heart was settled, so he wondered, "Then why?" Only then did Zhao Yan tell Liu Zhi about her worries.
"What are you afraid of, I am the Son of Heaven, and they still dare to touch my woman! ...... "Liu Zhi said so, but he is still weak-minded, although he has been pro-government, but the court is still controlled by Liang Ji, the harem is controlled by the queen Liang Nuying, the woman is mediocre, and shallow, but surprisingly jealous, if there is a slightly beautiful palace lady or even a maid in the palace, it will be sent out of the palace, if you see which palace maid is close to the emperor, always find an excuse to beat the palace maid half to death, since there is no palace maid in the palace with a slightly better appearance in front of Liu Zhi's eyes, not to mention that Liu Zhi wants to marry Zhao Yan like a fairy into the palace.
Liu Zhi said that he was also unconfident later, he knew that Zhao Yan's worries were not groundless, but he wanted to stay with Zhao Yan, so he had the courage to say it, thinking that if Zhao Yan entered the palace, he would be poisoned by the queen, and he didn't insist on it, but sighed again, "Yan'er, that's the case, I don't know when the two of us will be able to see each other again in the future......" Zhao Yan was also bitter in her heart, she couldn't imagine that the two would be separated as soon as they saw each other again, and she also wanted to be separated from her lover again, but she persuaded herself to do so with reason in her heart.
"Not as well! Why don't we meet in Mother's Mansion in the future? Now that they have returned to me, I will go out of the palace in the future to visit my mother, and they will not do much to stop me, so you will enter through the side door, and I will tell my mother! Liu Zhi suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned sadness into joy and told Zhao Yan.
"Too ...... Well, good! Zhao Yan also remembered who Liu Zhi said about his mother, and if he was in his mother's house, he would not be harmed again, so he felt that this method was very good, "Great!" The three words blurted out, and then I thought about it, but it was a private meeting with my lover, and it was at my mother-in-law's house in the future, so I blushed and only said the word "good", and my heart turned happy.
"That's it, we go to my mother's house on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and my mother's house is called the Liwu Marquis Mansion......" The two discussed the matter of meeting in the future.
"Brother Zhi, it's not early, let's go back first, let them be suspicious when they see it......" After discussion, Zhao Yan said. Since the two of them met and said so many words, they forgot everything, half an hour has passed, if they are suspicious, they are afraid that they will be suspicious long ago, but Emperor Huan ordered in advance not to let people follow, and everyone can only wait in the main hall.
The two returned to the main hall, and Zhao Yan followed behind Liu Zhi, "I was enjoying in the backyard, and I met Miss Zhao, so Miss Zhao led me to visit this mansion, and the scenery in this mansion is quite elegant. Liu Zhi said to Cao Teng when he entered the main hall, in fact, how could he have the time to look at the landscape in this mansion.
"Your Majesty has won the prize!" Cao Teng and the others were anxious to wait, but seeing that Emperor Huan was in a good mood after he came back, they were also relieved in their hearts.
"It's not early, I'm going back to the palace, Master Cao doesn't have to go back to the palace, isn't it your vacation today? Let's have a good rest in the house. After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will send you!" Cao Teng still sent Emperor Huan out of the mansion.
"Let's drive back to the palace!" The messenger shouted again, everyone in the Cao Mansion knelt down to send Emperor Huan out of the mansion, Liu Zhi looked at Zhao Yan again in front of the dragon, and Zhao Yan smiled.
When Emperor Huan walked away, Zhao Zhong pulled Zhao Yan and asked, "Sister, have you seen the little boy?" ”
"Huh? Song'er? No, he just went out? Zhao Yanshi was only focused on Liu Zhi, and did not realize that Cao Song had not seen Cao Song since he and Liu Zhi returned to the main hall.
"Yes, after the emperor left the table, the little boy found that you were gone, and wanted to go out to play with you, and he had already gone out for two incense sticks, and he thought you were together." Zhao Zhong had been sitting beside Cao Song during the banquet, so he knew that he had been out for a long time.
"What, Song'er has been out for so long!" Zhao Yan was shocked, thinking that if Cao Song had been playing in the mansion for so long, would she hear the conversation between him and Liu Zhi, and couldn't help but feel worried, although Cao Song was like a brother to her, it was better not to let him know about these things......
Emperor Huan has been away from Cao's Mansion for an hour, Cao Teng is leaning on a rattan chair in the study, lying on his back, thinking that he can be regarded as sending the emperor back to the palace, he thought that Emperor Huan was angry in the palace and wanted to vent in his big Changqiu Mansion, so he has been worried, but nothing happened. Could it be that the little emperor is ready to befriend me, but after thinking about it, he can't think of it.
Suddenly, as soon as the door opened, a young man broke into the study and shouted at Cao Teng, "Daddy, why is Liang Ji so bad, so preying on the emperor and disrupting the court!" You're so good with him! him! Didn't you teach your children to be kind and generous! Why? Daddy! Cao Teng was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that it was his beloved son Cao Song, but at this time he looked at himself with sadness and indignation, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.
