Chapter 504: Sisters
As the banquet deepened, the officials present also drank a little high.
After a singing and dancing show, many people took advantage of the strength of the wine to come out to "perform", but were stopped by Yang Rui.
Yang Rui said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just returned to Luoyang for a few days, and I will set off again to the south in two days, and I am still a little tired today, so I will not stay to entertain you." When you are full of food and drink, you can go away on your own. ”
As soon as Yang Rui said this, others knew that Yang Rui was going back to rest. Although Yang Rui is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but after all, she is also a woman, she left under the pretext of being tired at the last banquet, this time Yang Rui said this, and everyone present also felt that it was normal.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." And everybody stood up and saluted.
Han Jian also stood up, and he also wanted to enter the inner garden of the palace together, but he also knew that he couldn't leave for the time being.
It took more than an hour for the banquet to end. Everyone drank and enjoyed the wine, which was more comfortable than the last time Yang Rui returned to the court, many people were worried about being liquidated last time, so they didn't even have the interest in drinking, this time the court can be regarded as an extrajudicial favor, and they didn't study the rebellious things in detail, which is also a relief for them.
Han Jian walked out of the Wenwu Palace, and Yang Luochuan came over at this time. Yang Luochuan drank a few glasses except for Yang Rui's toast before, and after that, he was almost untouched, and his spirit at this time can be said to be very good.
"Virtuous son-in-law, go out of the palace together?" Yang Luochuan looked at Han Jian with a smile and made a gesture of please.
Han Jian nodded and said, "King Nan, please." ”
Originally, Han Jian wanted to enter the inner courtyard of the palace, but at this time, he still had to wait for everyone to leave the palace first, especially he couldn't let Yang Luochuan suspect him.
Han Jian and Yang Luochuan are considered parallel. Yang Luochuan was quite emotional on the way out of the palace, and kept talking about what had happened in the past two years, as if he regarded Han Jian as a confidant.
“…… Virtuous son-in-law, you said that I went to ask His Majesty for guilt, and it has been a few months. But His Majesty still left me in Luoyang, and he didn't let me go back to Yuzhou for a long time, virtuous son-in-law, you have to talk to His Majesty for me. ”
Han Jian listened to a word on the side, but when he heard this, Han Jian glanced at Yang Luochuan. Yang Luochuan is asking him to help say something. Leave Luoyang.
Han Jian couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It was his idea to leave Yang Luochuan behind. Put Yang Luochuan back in Yuzhou, isn't that the same as returning to the mountains?
Yang Luochuan is now saying that he will accept the dispatch of soldiers and horses from the East Prince's Mansion, and he also said that he will be loyal to the empress. But when he returned to Yuzhou, the ghost knew if he would come to Yang Fengyin again. Yang Luochuan seems to be reasonable everywhere. But in fact, he is also the master who hides a knife in his smile. Han Jian had learned a lesson before. Naturally you won't be fooled.
"King of the South. It's not that I won't help you, it's really ...... I can't help it. Han Jian directly rejected Yang Luochuan, and what he said was quite reasonable. Now that the war is deadlocked, it is the time for His Majesty to employ people, and with the King of the South by His Majesty's side, His Majesty should also feel that there are many people to help. Originally, I also wanted to go to the front to lead the troops to rush to the front, but I was also rejected by His Majesty. So...... I'm embarrassed too. ”
Yang Luochuan nodded, glanced at Han Jian with a smile, and there seemed to be a lot of things revealed in that gaze.
Han Jian knew that Yang Luochuan was not stupid, and now who wouldn't let him go, he probably knew it in his heart.
Han Jian said again: "What's more, with the presence of the King of the South, it can make those rebellious people jealous, which is beneficial to this battle situation." Nanwang, you say that's the case? ”
Yang Luochuan nodded slightly and said, "What the virtuous son-in-law said also has some truth. Not to mention it. Didn't you say last time that you should let the virtuous son-in-law take Li'er over to the Nanwang Mansion to have a look? Why don't you just take advantage of this Spring Festival tomorrow and go over together for a little talk? ”
Han Jian didn't seem to be able to think of a reason to refuse, and he didn't know what Yang Luochuan'an was thinking. Anyway, he didn't think it would be good to go to the Nanwangfu Annex.
"If you have time, you will definitely go. See if there is any war to discuss tomorrow. Han Jian said casually.
Yang Luochuan nodded, casually exchanged a few more words with Han Jian, and left at the gate of the palace first, while Han Jian chose to stay under the pretext of strengthening the garrison of the palace.
As the people of the Southern Palace's Mansion and the officials of the imperial court scattered out of the palace, Han Jian also stayed at the main gate of the palace for a while. Acting has to play a full set, he knows that he is being stared at by many people now, if he comes directly to the inner curtain every time, he will definitely be noticed and suspicious.
Han Jian seemed to arrange some garrisons in the palace before entering the inner garden of the palace, and the guards in the inner garden did not feel strange to see Han Jian, Han Jian would come in almost every day to "inspect" these days.
"Your Highness, please do this." Before Han Jian arrived at the gate of Yang Rui's dormitory, Hui'er hurriedly ran up, holding a lantern in her hand to illuminate it.
"Your Majesty asked you to come over?" Han Jian asked.
"Hmm." Hui'er nodded, "Your Majesty and ...... That little master has been talking for a long time......"
Hui'er didn't know Yang Ci'er, she only knew that Yang Ci'er was a hostess, as for what kind of "hostess" she was, she didn't have a concept, as a subordinate, she didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, so she had to call Yang Ci'er "little master".
Han Jian smiled, followed Hui'er to Yang Rui's bedroom, and when he entered the palace, he heard Yang Rui seem to be saying something in the inner curtain.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness...... It's here. Hui'er stepped forward to report, but Han Jian didn't wait for her to finish the report, so she lifted the curtain and went inside.
The whole room was warm, and there was a brazier, because there were people in it, and I didn't feel cold. On the contrary, Han Jian came in from the outside, and he still felt a little uncomfortable with the warmth inside.
Yang Rui sat on his bed, while Yang Li'er sat next to her, the two of them sat side by side, looking very beautiful under the beating of the candlelight.
Seeing Han Jian, Yang Li'er immediately got up and walked over, and Tingting gave a salute.
As the princess of the East, Yang Li'er knows the etiquette of the court very well, no matter how Han Jian does it to her in private, once it is in public, she must act according to the etiquette of a princess of the East.
Yang Rui saw Yang Li'er standing next to Han Jian, and said to Han Jian with a smile: "The king of the east came to pick up your concubine and go back?" ”
Han Jian rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell?" ”
Yang Rui deliberately straightened his face and said, "King Dong, in front of me, you are so polite to speak. ”
Han Jian ignored Yang Rui, who seemed to be angry, and asked Yang Li'er instead, "Xian'er, Your Majesty didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Yang Li'er blinked inexplicably, looked at Yang Rui, and said to Han Jian: "It's not ......."
"Or is there something you dare not say?" Han Jian frowned.
"Not really." Yang Li'er explained, "When I entered the palace before, I felt tired, so my majesty let the concubine rest on the bed for a while, and missed the time to go to the banquet......"
"Oh. Then you're feeling better now. Han Jian asked.
Yang Li'er's face was a little ruddy and said, "It's much better." ”
"That's good." Han Jian smiled, and felt a lot more comforted in his heart. Originally, he thought it was Yang Rui who was a ghost, and deliberately did not let Yang Li'er go to the banquet, and detained Yang Li'er in the inner curtain.
Yang Rui saw Han Jian and Yang Li'er's "husband and wife love", and said with a cold attitude: "King Dong, you and Princess Dong are husband and wife, and you envy others." ”
Only then did Han Jian set his eyes on Yang Rui, because the people present were all "people who understood". There is no need to hide some things.
"Rui'er, I'm going to send Li'er back to the house first, and then I'll go into the palace to accompany me." Han Jian said.
This is also the first time that Han Jian has called Yang Rui in front of a third party with a non-"majesty", Han Jian said, let alone Yang Li'er, even Yang Rui felt embarrassed.
Some things, even if they are clear in their hearts, are still different when they are spoken.
Yang Li'er couldn't hide behind Han Jian at this time, and the whole person was close to Han Jian, as if Han Jian was a backer.
"Why is the husband in a hurry to leave?" After a pause, Yang Rui said, "The husband brought Sister Li'er into the palace, you might as well stay and talk more." If the husband sends his sister out of the palace, the concubine will definitely be worried about her body and mind, and if the husband enters the palace again, it will make her sister feel worried. It's hard to have both. ”
When Yang Rui said this, Yang Li'er's eyes widened.
She really couldn't imagine that Yang Rui, who was noble and unattainable before, would say such humble words, and in front of her husband.
In addition to breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Li'er was also a little jealous of Yang Rui, after all, Yang Rui's identity and status were transcendent, if Yang Rui couldn't tolerate her and Gu Xin'er, the matter would be difficult to solve. After all, as an emperor, who wants to share her husband's favor with others?
"What do you think?" Han Jian didn't answer, but looked at Yang Li'er with a smile and asked.
Suddenly asked Yang Li'er again.
Yang Li'er was looked at by Han Jian and Yang Rui with a smile at the same time, and she felt that she was like a sandwich cake, and she didn't know how to be a person.
“…… Majesty said okay, that...... The concubine body has no opinion. Yang Li'er is generous on weekdays, but at this time, she didn't know how to say it, so she could only say it in accordance with the general direction.
"In that case, then Rui'er, let's stay for now, and let's talk about family life together." Han Jian said, pulling Yang Li'er forward.
Han Jian sat down on the chair in front of the table, originally he wanted Yang Li'er to sit down on the chair next to him, but Yang Rui beckoned Yang Li'er to his side. Then Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian with an innocent face, and had no choice but to sit down beside Yang Rui.
"Sister Li'er and concubine are of the same clan, but do you think we are different? Or, which one is more in the eyes of the husband? After pulling Yang Li'er to sit down beside him, Yang Rui suddenly asked Han Jian with a smile.
This is a question that Han Jian has a hard time answering.
The two are also women he cares about very much, sitting side by side, complementing each other. Although Yang Rui is older, she is only in her thirties, and she knows how to maintain health as an emperor, she looks like she is only twenty-seven or eighteen, and the two of them seem to be sisters sitting together, it is really difficult to say which one is better. There is a shih shi in the eyes of a lover, but when the two shih shi are in front of him at the same time, sometimes it is easy to be dazzled and don't know how to judge.
Even if Han Jian could make a judgment in his heart, he would not say it rashly.
This is a matter of obviousness, and whoever says it is good, the other will definitely mind. The best thing to do is to pretend you didn't hear. (To be continued......)
