The palace was very busy because of this banquet, and the official eunuchs who had died of their children and grandchildren crowded into the palace one after another.

The funerals outside the palace were held for many days, and the crying in the palace was also shocking. It's a headache.

Ruoyan closed his door in Jiaofang Palace in the name of recuperating from his injuries, so he avoided these troubles, but Li Yizhe couldn't get out, those courtiers were nominally here to thank him, but the funny thing is that many of them wanted to use the death of their children and grandchildren to get some benefits. Yunting is Li Yizhe's protector of the country, although the emperor cannot be directly blamed for such a thing, but many people feel that Li Yizhe did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots ruthlessly, and raised the disaster around him.

Ruoyan put on his coat and walked to the imperial study, and when he walked away, he heard Cheng Anhou's cry from a distance.

"Your Majesty is the master of the ministers! The minister is such a son, how should he live when he goes to the old minister like this! ”

"Cheng Anhou is now in the prime of life, why be so pessimistic? I have heard that several concubines in Cheng Anhou's family are promising. ”

"How can this concubine be compared to his son-in-law?"

Ruoyan gathered her robe and knocked on the door, and Gonggong Lin was excited when he saw her as if he had seen a savior: "Niangniang is here?" Your Majesty, the mother is here. ”

Ruoyan bowed her head lightly and motioned for the snow warbler to bring the things she brought.

"Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet, has he? The concubine's small kitchen has done a lot, so she brought it all over, and the Hou Ye didn't care about eating hot, right? Let's all sit down and have a bite to eat. ”

Cheng Anhou was about to say hello, but Ruoyan only waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to.

The meals are served on the table, mostly vegetarian dishes, but they are also exquisite and delicious.

Li Yizhe looked at Ruoyan's pale face and felt very distressed: "Why did you come here before the injury is healed, the imperial doctor said, you need to rest." ”

Ruoyan shook his head: "It's a great luck that the concubine can pick up a life, Your Majesty is tired day after day, and the concubine has nothing to do." ”

"It's not much more idle on weekdays than it is now." Li Yizhe smiled bitterly, "It's hard to send you a trip." ”

Ruoyan turned his head to look at Cheng Anhou: "When I came to the palace, I overheard a few words. Hou Ye's Day mourns. ”

Cheng Anhou spit out bitter water as if the floodgates had been opened: "Niangniang doesn't know, although there are many concubines in the courtier's family, but there is only one son who is born, and he will have to bear the burden of the entire Hou Mansion in the future. It's really so that the old minister doesn't know what to do! ”

"Master Hou is really blessed." Ruoyan put the soup bowl handed by Xueying in front of Li Yizhe, "Although the son has passed away, he can still have a son who inherits the family business." Unlike the palace, the family has long been buried in the loess, and now the grave grass is probably taller, but the family who thinks they want to be accompanied by the palace on the Huangquan Road. ”

"Mother's Day mourning."

"Condolences?" Ruoyan sighed lightly, "Yes, mourning, the dead can't come back after all, but the living have to live well, Hou Ye said, didn't he?" ”

"That's what the mother said."

"Snow Warbler, bring something over."

Xue Ying handed a sandalwood box to Ruoyan, Ruoyan picked up the box and opened it and handed it to Cheng Anhou: "Here is the dowry brought by the palace when it entered the palace, and this hairpin is carved from jade, which is clear and flawless, and it is a rare good jade." When the son died, Mrs. Zun must have felt uncomfortable, which was a little bit of the palace's heart, and she also bothered the Hou Ye to greet one or two on behalf of the palace. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Cheng Anhou accepted the hairpin and got up to thank him.

"I'll go back early after dinner, I still need you as the person in charge of the house." Li Yizhe spoke in a timely manner, "In the follow-up matters, I will set the charter earlier and order someone to go to the house to upload the decree." ”

sent away Cheng Anhou, and only Ruoyan and Li Yizhe were left in the imperial study.

Without the presence of others, the two of them were even more restrained.

It took a long time for Ruoyan to open his mouth to break the deadlock: "Is it worth it?" ”

"What do you ask?"

"You can promise Yun Ting that you don't have to die so many people if you don't have to die alone." Ruoyan looked at Li Yizhe's eyes and said softly, "Why didn't you agree to him?" I don't love you. ”

"Because you're my Ayan." Li Yizhe chuckled, "No one can cross me to decide your life and death." ”

"Those words you said to Yun Ting......"

"Which ones?" Li Yizhe pulled Ruoyan into his arms and sat down, carefully avoiding her wound, "Is the injury better?" ”

"It's better." Ruoyan rarely stayed in his arms safely, "I used to think that the emperor's love was so much that it was a matter of power and calculation, and everything had to be put on the scale pole and weighed two pounds before making a decision." ”

"I'm an anomaly." Li Yizhe buried his face in Ruoyan's soft hair, "I'm a faint gentleman." As you said, Se Ling Zhi is dizzy. ”

"I've said so much, why do you remember this sentence alone." Ruoyan was a little annoyed.

"I have a good memory." Li Yizhe sniffed Ruoyan's hair greedily, "But this time I won't lose anything, but I can get a little bit of your heart, and it can be regarded as a profit." ”

Ruoyan smiled: "But those who died ......"

"The forces of all parties in Chang'an City are intricate, there are countless families, and there have been many restrictions on the imperial court over the years, so it should only be considered to weaken those families." Li Yizhe sighed lightly, "I can't really gamble with your life." Besides, if the news of that private property leaks out, and a group of people scramble to grab it, won't it cause chaos in the world. ”

"Your Majesty, there are still some adults waiting outside, and there is no need for old slaves to go back to them." Gonggong Lin whispered.

"Enjoy a meal, let everyone go back early, pass on the decree, now many literati have fallen, and my heart is very painful. Those who have relatives who have passed away in the family must be prepared for funerals, and in order to avoid the mourning period, they will be closed for seven days. ”

"The old slave will do it."

"Let's go." Li Yizhe put Ruoyan off his lap.

"Where are you going?"

"Send you back to Jiaofang Palace. Someone followed the example of the minister below, and handed me a fold in the morning and shouted to see you. I'll have to send someone to pick him up later. ”

"It's Ke'er."

"I see, you're about to become his mother. I haven't seen him so close to King Yu and his wife. Li Yizhe said with a smile.

"King Yu has a strange temperament, Princess Yu revolves around King Yu all day long, both of them don't have much effort to take care of the children, sometimes they can't even eat, it's funny, the royal descendants can't eat." Ruoyan smiled bitterly, "That is, I entered the palace, ate well, and saw that it had only been a long time before I had grown taller." ”

"When this period of time passes, I will mention this matter when I go to court, and record Ke'er in your name."

"It's up to Ke'er's own wishes."

"Okay."

"Your Majesty."

"Huh?"

"Thank you."

Li Yizhe was stunned by this thanks: "Thank you for what? ”

Ruoyan laughed softly and didn't speak again.

The begonias in the palace are blooming just right, and the petals are fluttering like a rain. I don't know if it's the falling flowers that have blinded my eyes, or the smile of the beauty in front of me has not passed the spring, and I don't know if everything in front of me is reality or a dream.

In the past, there was a noble concubine Yang who looked back and smiled, and the six palaces had no color. But Ruoyan's smile is another taste, not overly tempting, some are just plain and clean, but they are so beautiful that people don't know how to describe it in words, as if everything in heaven and earth no longer exists at the moment she laughs, only that smile, so that people's eyes can only hold that smile. That laugh just for him.

Li Yizhe was a little distracted, this was a Ruoyan he had never seen.

It looks like a flower about to bloom.

Slender and fragile, but stubborn and strong from the bones.

He wanted to hide her, to hide her in a place where there was only him, Ruoyan was his, only his.

"What do you think?"

Li Yizhe came back to his senses and looked at Ruoyan with a wry smile: "I'm thinking, I'm afraid I'm really a piece of material to be a faint king." ”

Ruoyan laughed out loud with a "poof", realized that he was out of shape and hurriedly covered his face with his sleeve and secretly laughed a few times before he laughed enough, put down his sleeves and said: "Jiaofang Palace has arrived, and the concubine will go back first." ”

"Why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Li Yizhe accompanied her and said poorly.

"Your Majesty wants to be a Ming Jun, and indulging in gentleness all day long is not what a serious emperor should do." Ruoyan got off the sedan chair, lifted the corner of her skirt and hurriedly ran to the palace.

Li Yizhe didn't want to be helped, and jumped off the sedan chair in one jump: "Mingjun criticizes the lack of fragrant red sleeves, is the concubine willing to take a hand and give a face to help?" ”

Ren wailed and screamed outside, Li Yizhe didn't care about anything at this moment, and there was only one person in his world.

Luo Hansheng sat in the Huayan Courtyard and looked at the news from the eyeliner from all over the place, and began to arrange his chess game.

Xiao Wu came in quietly and said softly: "Xiangye, the lotus boy in Miss Qi's courtyard has gone." ”

Luo Hansheng's hand trembled slightly, but he didn't raise his eyes.

Zhaolian finally didn't survive this spring.

Ah Qi knew that Zhaolian's body was not as good as day by day, but when this day really came, all her preparations were shattered and her heart was broken, it turned out that this was called heartbreaking.

When she got up early yesterday morning, she disappeared Zhaolian, and when she was about to look for her, Zhaolian turned her wheelchair from the door and called her: "Ah Qi, it's time to eat." ”

This is one of the few times Zhao Lian has called her name right these days. She was excited for a long time, thinking that Zhaolian's body had finally improved and had taken a turn for the better. But she was wrong.

There is also a sachet on the table, Zhaolian took her with her yesterday, saying that it is a recipe to calm her mind when she always sleeps badly, and the handwriting on the paper under the sachet is written with the names of some medicinal herbs.

The ghost of Ah Qi walked over and picked up the paper.

I don't know when there was an extra line of words below the names of the string of medicinal herbs, and the same handwriting reads-"He taught me to accept residual hatred, avoid coquettishness, and reform myself, change my temperament, stop falling in love, turn back from the bitter sea, and realize Lan Yin early." ”

She didn't cry when she knew that Zhaolian was dead, and she didn't cry when she saw Zhaolian's motionless body, but just one sentence tore her hard disguise to shreds.

"Zhaolian." Ah Qi stroked the line of handwriting and cried silently, "Zhaolian, you are a liar." You're a big liar! ”
