"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, get up and talk."

When Zuo Ying returned to the imperial study and sat down, facing Aunt He and Helan Chu kneeling in front of her, she had already guessed in her heart what was going on.

Helan Chu helped Aunt He to stand up, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has been looking for his mother for 20 years, and today he finally recognized his mother. She is the old palace person brought back from the desert by His Majesty. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the palace people present showed shocked expressions. I didn't expect this Turkic slave to have such a noble identity! Everyone can't help but secretly recall whether they have accidentally offended her and shown her face, if so, I am afraid that I will have to ask for leave to go home now to explain the future.

Aunt He also bowed her head and said: "The slave maid is worried that her lowly status will affect her son's reputation, so she went incognito and did not reveal her real name to Your Majesty, and begged Your Majesty to forgive the slave and maid for the crime of bullying the king." ”

Zuo Ying sneered in her heart, thinking that she had caught a tiger from the grassland, but it turned out that a wolf had come with her, and the grassland was indeed rich in natural resources. She was silent, waiting for them to finish.

Helan Chu took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, my mother has gone through a lot of hardships to reunite with her ministers. I beg Your Majesty to be extra gracious and forgive my mother's mistakes, and issue a decree in the name of my mother, Princess Yizheng Pingnan. ”

Zuo Ying naturally knows that she is currently a rubber stamp, and even national affairs are said by the Taishi, and she is responsible for nodding, let alone this kind of family matter. If this kind of thing is spread on her two "imperial brothers", it will even be grasped as a matter to please the Taishi, and it is wise to announce it to the world in a lavish and grand manner.

She chuckled and said, "I see." It's really a lot of good things. Then, I will pardon He Suji's innocence, give her back her noble status, and allow her to return to her home with the Taishi. Announce it to the world on a later date. Restore the identity of Princess Ho Su Hee and give her the honorific title of Lady of the Decree. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Helan Chu and Aunt He knelt on the ground together to thank him, and then retired and left together.

This evening. Zuo Ying's car was still some distance away from Qingquan Palace, and two attendants of Qingquan Palace saw it from a distance, and hurriedly ran over and knelt down to greet him: "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, I missed the welcome, and the villain is guilty." ”

The scarlet feather outside the jade chariot replied for Zuo Ying: "Today is a good day for your Royal Highness Concubine Yun's birthday, Your Majesty has specially come to surprise him, you don't have to pass it on." ”

A few chamberlains listened to the surprise for a while. They didn't know it was their master's birthday. When I looked up, sure enough, there were two carriages with gifts behind Yu Yuan.

But their expressions were not happy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, but Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun has been in a drowsy since she drank with His Royal Highness that day. The villain is afraid that it will disturb His Majesty Yaxing. ”

When Scarlet Feather heard this, Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun had been drunk for so many days and had not woken up, which was a big deal, so she hurriedly looked into the car and waited for Zuo Ying to decide.

"Check it out." Zuo Ying gave an order, and the group got off, leaving the few embarrassed waiters behind, and entered the Qingquan Palace in a mighty way.

"Has the Imperial Doctor come to see you?" Zuo Ying walked towards Li Yunshen's bedroom and asked the palace man next to her.

The palace man bowed his head and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, no imperial doctor has come to see me." Because His Highness commanded. Let him rest for a few days, and no one should bother. It seems to say...... He had a wine rash on his face and didn't want anyone to see it. ”

"Don't you even eat?" Zuo Ying frowned slightly.

"Yes," replied the palace man, "we have put the food table at the door, and His Highness will take it himself." ”

This reminded Zuo Ying of the scene of Scarlet Feather's serious illness. Ahem...... A woman who has gone from a daughter to a beautiful man after a serious illness; This other one won't change from a beautiful man to a beautiful girl, right? If you're eating or drinking at this time, you'll probably be spraying.

came to Li Yunshen's door. The palace people knocked on the door a few times, from small to large, and at the same time shouted at the door, but there was no response. Push the door hard, and you know that the door is locked from the inside.

"I had lunch at noon today, I don't know how to ...... at this time" Seeing that Li Yunshen had not reacted for so long, the palace people were also a little worried.

"Scarlet Feather, think of a way." Zuo Ying commanded.

Scarlet Feather took the order, asked Zuo Ying to take a few steps back, estimated the position of the door latch, raised his foot and kicked it, only to hear a sharp sound of wood breaking from the inside through the door panel. And the door was not slammed open because of this kick, but only slowly opened a crack on its own, which shows the accuracy and speed of the scarlet feather.

Zuo Ying instructed everyone: "Since Concubine Yun doesn't want people to see him, you all stay outside and wait, and I will go in and have a look." ”

She pulled up the corners of her skirt and stepped over the threshold, around the screen, and into the bedroom.

"Little San'er." Zuo Ying shouted. The silence of the room made her feel a little uneasy. This made her speed up.

Walking through the inner hall, and then bypassing the screen that separates the inner hall and the inner room, Zuo Ying came to Li Yunshen's bed. This road, which is only a dozen meters, actually makes her feel a little long. But the scene in front of her at this moment made her eyebrows furrow slightly.

I saw that the bed on Li Yunshen's bed was neatly made and empty, and there was no figure of Li Yunshen at all. On the ground next to the bed, Zuo Ying noticed a palm-sized figure cut out of yellow paper, and she didn't know whether she had deliberately placed it there or dropped it unintentionally.

She sat on Li Yunshen's bed, muttered for a moment, and then took out something wrapped in silk cloth from her arms, put it on the brocade mattress, and then got up to leave.

When he walked out of Li Yunshen's bedroom, Zuo Ying ordered someone to re-close the door and said to the palace people who surrounded her: "Concubine Yun is fine, as long as she rests a little longer, she will be cured." Do as he commands, do not disturb him, but give him regular meals. The gift I gave to Concubine Yun was left here, and the celebration had to wait until he recovered. ”

The palace people then resigned themselves and thanked Zuo Ying and his party to leave.

At night, in a secluded courtyard in Wuwei Juli on the outskirts of Luoyang, Li Yunshen was sitting on an open-air stone chair, holding a wine glass, looking up to the sky.

He looked at the vast night sky, with a little drunkenness, and said quietly: "Tonight the clouds are vast, the stars are unknown, and the purple microchemical family is hidden, which is far from a sign of the arrival of nobles......

Sitting opposite Li Yunshen was Li Junan. He sighed lowly, touched his wine glass to Li Yunshen's hand, raised his head and drank it all before saying, "Third Young Master, don't wait, go back to the palace." The old servant was worried that the third young master's private departure from the palace for many days would be discovered by His Majesty. ”

Li Yun smiled lightly, drank all the wine in his cup, and filled the wine glasses of the two of them with the wine jug, and said with a smile: "There are too many things that attract Your Majesty's attention now, and she won't notice me." ”

"Okay," Li Junan nodded, "Then the old servant will accompany the third young master to celebrate his birthday, and get drunk with the third young master." All the unsatisfactory, please leave the third young master behind! ”

"Very good!" Li Yunshen raised his glass again.

Every year on his birthday, no matter where he is, he will return to the center of Wuwei, looking forward to the appearance of his father Li Kaizong and his mother Ruyu Niang, but hope is always disappointed again and again. He had been hopeless since the early days, but he didn't expect that even if he didn't have hope, he would still feel disappointed. And today, even if he knew that they would not appear, he still did not hesitate to leave the palace to wait here, in fact, it was more of a determination for himself, a determination that he would not need to have any guilt and self-blame from now on.

At this time, there was a burst of children's laughter from the courtyard path, and the two of them followed the sound to see a seven or eight-year-old child running towards them.

"Feng'er, come to grandpa, don't mess around, be good." Li Junan hurriedly beckoned the child over.

But Feng'er just jumped around them, grimacing at them from time to time, just unwilling to let grandpa catch him, and repeated with a grin: "Why bother, why bother." Why bother, hee-hee, why bother......"

"Third Young Master, please don't be surprised," Li Junan arched his hand towards Li Yunshen and said, "This kid doesn't know where he heard this word, and he has been talking about it lately." ”

Li Yunshen looked at Feng'er, who was so lively that it didn't match his age, smiled and took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Feng'er, "Feng'er, do you like this?" The third young master gave it to you to play. ”

"Third Young Master, I can't help it." Li Junan saw that the jade pendant was thick and warm like fat, and it was absolutely extraordinary, so he hurriedly stopped: "Feng'er can't accept such a valuable gift from the third young master." ”

"Hee-hee, why bother, why bother...... Why bother, hehe, why bother......" Before Li Junan's words fell, Feng'er had already snatched the jade pendant from Li Yunshen's hand with one hand, and ran away happily with a smile.

Li Yunshen looked at Feng'er's distant figure and smiled: "In life, it is difficult to buy a thousand gold and smile sincerely." can be happy to fight the wind, what is this jade pendant? Even if he took it just to hear the crisp sound of the jade turning into jade, I didn't hesitate to do it. ”

Li Junan said gratefully: "Third young master's grace, old servant thank you!" ”

At the same time, there were also two people sitting opposite each other in the side hall of the Taishi Mansion.

"Mother, the child toasts you." Helan Chu raised his glass and said, "The child remembers that the child was still young and could not drink on the same stage with his father and mother, so he could only warm the wine for the guests on the side. Now, I can finally give my mother a drink. ”

He Suji, who was opposite, smiled and picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Helan Chu and said, "Yes." I remember when you were a child, you always said that chrysanthemums were fragrant and you always wanted to taste it secretly. It's a pity that now is not the time to drink chrysanthemum wine. ”

Helan Chu drank the wine in the cup first, "Mother, the coming day is long." When the chrysanthemums are ripe, our mother and son will taste the chrysanthemum wine together. ”

"Exactly." He Suji also smiled and took a sip of wine.

At this time, an attendant came in after greeting him outside the door, knelt next to Helan Chu and presented a small rosewood box, bowed his head and asked, "What is the Taishi looking for?" ”
