Chapter Ninety-Five: Li Meiren
"This is a rumor, how old is Huo Guangcai? Using him as the prime minister of a country is too child's play, and it is impossible for His Majesty to do so. "Mrs. Wang has a little insight, and the point of view she said is basically the same as what Huo Guang said.
"But the queen mother, the son heard that this was from the mouth of the father." Liu Hong is now decided, and what he cares about most is who is Qi Xiang, so even if this news is just a rumor, it makes Liu Hong particularly concerned.
"Hong'er rest assured, the prime minister will definitely be a virtuous old minister, but it's a pity that Your Majesty hasn't come to Jiaofang Hall in the past few days, otherwise I can also find out Your Majesty's meaning." Mrs. Wang said with some loss, she was seriously ill these days, except for the first few days when Emperor Wu of Han came a few times, she has not been here in the past few days, which makes Mrs. Wang very sad.
Liu Hong also felt sad about what happened to his mother, and at this time he didn't want to talk about these upsetting things anymore, so he said: "Then my mother is recuperating in peace, and my son will retire first." ”
Looking at the back of Liu Hong leaving, Mrs. Wang sighed faintly, her body is only known to herself, she is very suspicious that she may not be able to accompany Liu Hong to the country, for her young son, Mrs. Wang is still not very relieved as a mother, she thinks that Liu Hong is good at everything, but it is too uncity, in fact, Mrs. Wang herself did not find out, why not herself!
"Mei Xiang, will Your Majesty come over tonight?" Mrs. Wang called the name of her maid and asked, although she knew that it was impossible for Emperor Wu of Han to come back to the Jiaofang Palace like this now, but she still did not give up and asked like this every day.
Because of the suddenness of Mrs. Wang's illness and the backward medical level in this era, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the king of a country, whether it was for his own safety or for the entire community, when Mrs. Wang's condition continued to deteriorate, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not contact her too much.
"Madam, no one has come yet, and it is rumored that His Majesty will come." Mrs. Wang's maid Mei Xiang said honestly.
"Then where is Your Majesty going tonight?" Mrs. Wang continued to ask.
"I heard that Your Majesty is going to have a banquet with Princess Pingyang tonight." Mei Xiang has served Mrs. Wang for many years, and has established her own circle with the help of Mrs. Wang's momentum, and the movements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the palace are not a secret, and Mei Xiang can naturally inquire about it.
"Feast...... Hehe, Princess Pingyang is really a good sister of His Majesty, can't she wait before I die? Mrs. Wang muttered to herself, and her words were even more lonely.
It is completely different from the dead silence and loneliness of the Jiaofang Palace, tonight Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is in the Weiyang Palace 'Sui Yu Pavilion', and this so-called drinking banquet is simply a small music and dance party.
In the pavilion there are not only chimes but also other musicians playing orchestral instruments. Princess Pingyang was full of glory and kept a smile all the time, and Emperor Wu of Han did not look worried at all because Mrs. Wang was seriously ill, and she looked radiant, and it seemed that the recent events were quite satisfactory to him.
"Sister has been to the palace less recently, what is new recently?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said to Princess Pingyang that in the absence of outsiders, Liu Che would still call Princess Pingyang Sister. This is the honor of Princess Pingyang, and it can also be seen that her status in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is unparalleled.
"Sister is old, how can I have the heart to find something new, and this day will pass day by day!" Princess Pingyang shook her head slightly and said, Princess Pingyang has always played the role of an eldest sister in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, perhaps deep in the heart of a great emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there is also a side that hopes to be cared for.
"Yes, the years are unforgiving. I remember when I was a child, my sister always brought me something unexpected, and I liked to play with her the most from that time. In the blink of an eye, our children have grown up! Emperor Wu of Han also said with memories that only when he was alone with Princess Pingyang would Emperor Wu of Han show the side of an ordinary person, and at this time he was an ordinary person, the person named Liu Che.
The children referred to by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty grew up, naturally referring to the Marquis Cao Xiang of Pingyang and Princess Wei Chang. Speaking of which, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Princess Pingyang are both sisters and brothers, as well as children and daughters, and this relationship is really a bit chaotic in later generations.
"The musicians in this palace are these tunes every time, and they are indeed a little tired of listening to them, a few days ago, there was a musician named Li Yannian, and his sister once came to my house to perform a dance music, but it is quite innovative, why don't you call them over to let Your Majesty see?" Princess Pingyang only got to the point at this time, tonight she invited Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to have a banquet to push Li Yan out, of course, the current Li Yan has become Huo Xian.
"Oh, it's definitely good to be able to enter the eyes of Sister A. This Li Yannian is okay to say, since it is from the musician in the palace, but his sister is afraid that it will be too late to find it at this time, right? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still a little moved, because Princess Pingyang had never let him down.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it, when I saw this woman that day, Sister I thought this woman was good, so I left her by my side, and I happened to enter the palace with me today." Princess Pingyang had already thought of a rhetoric, which was simply seamless.
"In that case, why don't you call it quickly!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was interested in coming to the apex, and he couldn't wait to see the unique dance music that Princess Pingyang said immediately.
Princess Pingyang looked at Emperor Wu of Han and smiled, as if she was making fun of Emperor Wu of Han's anxiety, but only Princess Pingyang did this, and then she said to the musicians in the palace: "You all go down first." ”
"No." When the musicians heard this, they immediately got up and left. Princess Pingyang's words may not have much impact on the country, but her words are still very effective in Weiyang Palace, and at this time, she issued the command on behalf of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and no one seemed to think that there was anything wrong.
Emperor Wu of Han didn't say anything at this time, just waited for the next thing. After the original musicians withdrew, they saw Li Yannian walking in with a guqin, and behind him was still followed by a woman with a veil. This outfit is exactly the same as when Huo Guang took Huo Xian to see Princess Pingyang.
"No need to be polite, let's get started!" Before Li Yannian could give a salute to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Princess Pingyang took the first step and said.
When Li Yannian heard this, he knelt in the hall and put the guqin across his lap, and then he plucked the strings, and the melodious sound of the guqin echoed in the hall. However, this can only be regarded as a good piano sound at most, if there is anything special or even different, then there is no difference at all, at first Emperor Wu of Han was also a little puzzled, and he was slightly disappointed.
But soon an ethereal and beautiful voice came out of Huo Xian's mouth, Huo Xian had a special voice, and at this time, with Li Yannian's piano sound, coupled with the covering of his face, it added a bit of mystery to the moving. And what Huo Xian sang was the "Beauty Song" originally composed by Li Yannian.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and the country. Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman. This song was sung by Huo Xian, which felt more meaningful than Li Yannian, a big man.
Huo Xian finished singing, and Emperor Wu of Han didn't say anything for a long time, as if his thoughts had been hooked to the clouds by that peerless and independent beauty.
Princess Pingyang saw Emperor Wu of Han's expression, her eyes showed satisfaction, and she nodded slightly at Li Yannian and Huo Xian. "Your Majesty thinks it's good?" Princess Pingyang asked in a low voice.
Princess Pingyang spoke up at this time, and finally pulled Emperor Wu of Han's thoughts back. Then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Xian with his eyes, as if he wanted to see Huo Xian's true face through the veil. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Good song, good song." But is there really such a beautiful woman in the world? ”
Emperor Wu of Han was still looking at Huo Xian when he spoke, Princess Pingyang noticed this detail, she knew this half-concealed way, and sure enough, Emperor Wu of Han subconsciously associated the face under the veil with the peerless beauty in the song. Princess Pingyang felt that the time was almost up, so she said: "Your Majesty, this song was written by Li Yannian, and what he wrote was actually his sister Li Yan." Li Yan, why don't you take off your veil and let Your Majesty see you? ”
With Princess Pingyang's words, Huo Xian reached out and slowly took off the veil. Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had seen countless beauties, and it could be said that it was difficult for any beauty to make him so drunk, but Huo Xian used such a different and suspenseful way of appearance, which invisibly made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel that this was a real peerless beauty. Of course, this method was also told by Huo Guang to Princess Pingyang.
"Your name is Li Yan? Come forward and let me take a good look at you. Emperor Wu of Han leaned forward, his gaze not taking his eyes off Huo Xian's face. Guo Huo's identity was Li Yan, which Emperor Wu of Han did not know.
"No!" Huo Xian bowed his head and replied. At this time, Li Yannian finally realized that something was wrong, he felt that his sister's voice was a little different at first, and now he finally saw Huo Xian's side, which was a face that he was completely unfamiliar with, and it was not his sister at all. However, the emperor and the princess were in front, and all this was arranged by Princess Pingyang, Li Yannian was surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
If this isn't your sister? What will the emperor think? For the sake of his life, Li Yannian could only be silent now, and at this time, his gaze happened to meet Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Yannian meaningfully, and was suddenly shocked that Li Yannian's vest was slightly cold, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Beauty...... It's so beautiful......" Emperor Wu of Han saw Huo Xian up close, and Emperor Wu of Han praised him from the bottom of his heart.
"If Your Majesty likes it, it is better to leave Li Yan in the palace to serve Your Majesty! Now His Majesty is missing such a person. "Every time Princess Pingyang speaks, she can always say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is in her heart, and this sentence is no exception.
Now in the Weiyang Palace, the queen Wei Zifu is declining, and Mrs. Wang is seriously ill and bedridden, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still has a lot of women, but there is really no one who makes him linger. Now he really lacks a woman who can please him, and Princess Pingyang is simply in urgent need.
"Would you like to stay in the palace and stay with me?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally had such a plan, but after all, he was a man who thought very highly of himself, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was rich in the world, he also hoped that the woman he liked would say 'I do' in person.
"Li Yan is willing!" Huo Xianying bowed and replied, claiming to be Li Yan. This was originally planned, how could you say that you were unwilling.
"Good, good. Tomorrow, I will make an order to canonize Li Yan as a beauty, and you will be my Li beauty in the future! Emperor Wu of Han stood up happily and took Huo Xian's hand to help her up.
As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened his mouth, he gave the beauty the title, which surprised Princess Pingyang, and at the same time had to admire Huo Guang's thoughtfulness. You must know that the title of beauty is also graded, although it is not as good as Mrs., but the status is already very high, it is very rare for a woman who has just entered the palace to get such a title, and such a person will usually be favored by the emperor in the future, and it is very likely that he will become a lady or even a queen in the future.
