Chapter 16 The peony flower is delicate and demonic
Ruoyan took the teacup handed over by Luo Hansheng and took a sip: "This tea is so fragrant." ”
Gonggong Lin is also a good person, and he also knows that this is because Luo Hansheng thinks that he is getting close to Ruoyan, so he also retreats with interest: "The old slave is waiting in the inn for the Xiangye and the second lady to go back with the old slave tomorrow to reply to Your Majesty." ”
"Father-in-law, please." Luo Hansheng smiled at Gonggong Lin.
As soon as Gonggong Lin went out, Ruoyan's body was suspended. Ruoyan was so anxious that he patted Luo Hansheng on the shoulder: "Why are you picking me up!" Let me go! Luo Hansheng, what are you doing! ”
"You're so bad, of course I'm going to eat and wipe it clean." Luo Hansheng teased her.
Ruoyan was frightened and turned pale. Until he was carried by Luo Hansheng to the soft round bed on the second floor surrounded by a veil. Ruoyan thought that this was the end of the day, and he couldn't keep his innocence for more than ten years, so he begged him: "You lighten it." ”
Luo Hansheng couldn't help laughing when he looked at her like this: "What are you thinking about in your little head?" Have you read too much of the book? What are you going to do when I? ”
Ruoyan blinked at him with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes: "How do I know what you want to do, so I have to guess according to the things that men and women love in the book." ”
"I don't mind if you want to." Luo Hansheng smiled like a fox.
"Brother Sheng, have you ever had a woman before?" Ruoyan suddenly asked somehow.
Luo Hansheng was stunned, and his face blushed to the root of his ears. Ruoyan quipped with a wicked smile as if she knew something: "Brother Sheng, isn't he still a boy?" is twenty or two years old, and a man of this age from other people should be able to run and jump. ”
"You're so bold that you dare to make a joke about me." Luo Hansheng pinched her nose, "I look at this soft bed, you should take a nap." In the afternoon, put some good snacks and peel some fresh lotus seeds, and then we go to buy two jars of good wine and some fresh fruits, and how about enjoying the moon in this pavilion in the evening? ”
"It's good, it's good, but don't you come to Suzhou to visit the garden?" Ruoyan asked.
"I want to visit the garden, but it's too late. Next time, can I set up a more exquisite garden for our Yan'er? Luo Hansheng hugged Ruoyan and lay down.
"Good! I want a big pool of lotus flowers! A high pavilion, a paulownia platform, and a garden full of flowers. Ruoyan began to fantasize, "There are still fish in the pond, the kind that can be eaten." ”
Luo Hansheng raised his forehead: "I am afraid that you want that pool of lotus flowers for the lotus crisp, lotus seeds and lotus roots, and lotus root belts, right?" ”
Ruoyan threw herself into Luo Hansheng's arms and looked up at Luo Hansheng: "Isn't it good?" It is delicious in spring and summer. ”
"Okay, it's all up to us."
After returning to Chang'an City, Concubine Shen's people were waiting in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion early, and when they saw Luo Hansheng, they bowed: "Princess Wuyang said that she wants to eat a plate of lotus seeds peeled by Xiangye." Xiang Ye is a human minister, and he will not refuse. The princess will come to visit tomorrow morning, and His Majesty will also come, and please prepare for the driver. The day after tomorrow, the concubine is coming. ”
"The official has just returned to Chang'an City, and he hasn't even drunk a sip of water, so Miss Qingying is waiting at the door for the official to give an order. Is it so impersonal? Luo Hansheng was a little displeased.
"The status of the concubine is precious, and the princess is the concubine's daughter, so she is more pompous. Besides, the concubine and the princess are royal people, and it is right that Xiangye is a minister, but the courtier is just a royal servant to put it bluntly, and you naturally have to do what the princess wants you to do. ”
Ruoyan got down from the carriage, helped Gonggong Lin out of the carriage behind, and smiled brightly: "Gonggong Lin, you can listen." The princess is so pompous. ”
Gonggong Lin's face was also full of displeasure: "Miss Qingying, our family can hear this clearly." Do you mean that the status of the princess is higher than that of His Majesty? His Majesty is still unwilling to work for the prime minister to peel lotus seeds, but the princess did it. Our family is going to ask Miss Qingying, which rule is this in the palace? Tell us about it, too. ”
Qingying saw that Gonggong Lin realized that he had offended someone, but he refused to give in: "All the rules are by, the important thing is that Xiangye's instructions to the princess should be listened to." The slave and maid were busy with errands, and they had to rush back to wait for the concubine. ”
"Miss Qingying should serve her master." Gonggong Lin sarcastically mocked her in a weird way, "It's not good to just serve the master so much that he can't even lose his brain." Miss Qingying, we will definitely convey these words to the emperor word for word. You look at your head. ”
Qingying's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. Although the emperor can't treat the concubine as such, she will kill a little palace maid if she says she will kill her, and the concubine may not protect her: "Father-in-law, where is this." Your Majesty has every opportunity, why should such a trivial matter alarm Your Majesty. ”
"That's what Miss Qingying said." Luo Hansheng laughed, "This kind of thing doesn't need to be told to Your Majesty by your father-in-law. If the princess wants to eat lotus seeds, she can just peel them, and let the emperor taste them. ”
Qingying was afraid that something would happen again, so she bowed and left in a hurry.
Ruoyan frowned and asked him, "Why didn't my brother let Gonggong Lin tell the emperor?" ”
"Why bother to work Father-in-law Lin is uncomfortable in the middle, and there is no need to let the concubine hate her father-in-law in the future. I peeled the lotus seeds and only presented them to Wuyang tomorrow, not to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will naturally ask. Luo Hansheng smiled like an old fox.
"Xiangye's trick is wonderful, the old slave didn't even think of it. His Majesty hates the use of power to oppress people and is lawless. When Princess Wuyang was born, Concubine Shen was already a concubine, and she was spoiled lawlessly. If it weren't for the high power of the Shen family, how could Princess Wuyang still be alive now? Not to mention the side, just saying that His Majesty hates her is so much, I hate it, and I hate to marry her to Nanban. "Gonggong Lin seems to have a great opinion about Concubine Shen and Princess Wuyang.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry, now that I have returned to Chang'an, my father-in-law should go back to Your Majesty as soon as possible." Luo Hansheng reminded.
"It's the old slave who forgets the time. Every time I meet with my grandfather, I talk very happily and am reluctant to go. After resting, the old slave went back to the palace to report to the emperor. ”
At noon on the second day, the emperor and Princess Wuyang arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. In order to show trust, he didn't bring many honor guards, and he didn't bring them into the inner hall, but waited for orders in the outer courtyard.
Ruoyan was explained by Luo Hansheng early, stay in the courtyard well, and come over to ask for peace in the afternoon when you have refreshments.
Emperor Li Yizhe is twenty-five years old, with an angular face, extremely handsome, although he does not have the warmth of Luo Hansheng, he is full of majesty, and a pair of upturned Danfeng eyes are extremely charming.
After the state affairs were discussed, the servants brought refreshments and put a plate of lotus seeds on the table of Princess Wuyang. Li Yizhe frowned: "What does Luo Qing mean by this?" Why did you only serve a plate of lotus seeds to Wuyang? ”
Luo Hansheng explained with a smile: "As soon as the minister came back yesterday, the Qingying girl beside the concubine came to pass the princess's order, asking the minister to peel a plate of lotus seeds for the princess. Thinking that the princess should want to eat lotus seeds, she peeled some of them, but the lotus seeds were difficult to peel, so she didn't have time to peel them for His Majesty again. ”
Li Yizhe smiled coldly: "Wuyang, you are so bold. ”
Although Princess Wuyang is not a country and a city, she can be regarded as beautiful, but her face is full of anger. Seeing that Li Yizhe was angry and unconvinced, he provoked: "How dare Wuyang? Please also ask the royal brother to make it clear. ”
"Luo Hansheng worships the prime minister, is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and my right-hand man. You ordered him to do these subordinate things for you for your own selfish desires, do you look down on me and look down on Sheji? Li Yizhe's voice was not loud, but there was a hint of chill in his voice, "It's really the Shen family who pampers you, but you are willing to lose the face of the royal family." There is no princess at all. ”
"Luo Hansheng is a courtier, and his sister is a member of the royal family, what's wrong with peeling a plate of lotus seeds for his sister? When the younger sister marries in, let alone the lotus seeds, even the water chestnut should be peeled for the younger sister. Princess Wuyang's teacup fell, and she was not afraid of Li Yizhe's anger at all.
Li Yizhe narrowed his eyes and called: "Lin Shengnian." ”
Gonggong Lin hurriedly came in and knelt down: "The old slave is here." ”
"Didn't the Mulin Khan of the Southern Barbarians enter the national book a few days ago? If he wants to marry a princess, I will give him one. I see that Wuyang hates to marry now, and you have passed on my will to marry Wuyang. Li Yizhe took a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, this, the concubine?" Gonggong Lin was overjoyed, but he also had to remind Li Yizhe.
"The concubine has always wanted to have something to do with the previous dynasty recently, right? actually let the personal palace maid and the important ministers meet, and since it violates the edict of the first emperor, then give a white silk to accompany the first emperor. Li Yizhe commanded.
Wuyang panicked and knelt down: "Brother Huang forgives his sins." The mother concubine just felt sorry for her sister, and had no other intentions, and asked the royal brother to take back her fate. ”
"You will take back my will if you say you will take it back, and you still want to interfere with my decision?" Li Yizhe smiled.
"My father was sick in bed when my sister remembered, and she was not taught by my father. Although there is a loss of honor now, the right to ask the imperial brother to feel sorry for the courtiers and spare the courtiers. Wuyang realized that Li Yizhe had moved his real character, and his legs were scared and weak.
"If you know what you are wrong, I can also reduce the punishment. Your mother and daughter are not strict and have thought about house arrest. And you, since I said that I promised you to the Nanban Khan, then you should also marry. Li Yizhe picked up Wuyang's chin and shook it away.
Wuyang was humiliated, and his temper became fat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang, don't bully people too much." ”
"Heh," Li Yizhe sat back, "You are becoming more and more presumptuous." ”
"If the imperial brother insists on marrying his sister, he doesn't mind letting the Nanban Khan marry a corpse." Wuyang glared at him, "My sister has already sworn that she will not marry a national minister in this life." ”
Luo Hansheng had seen enough of the play, and couldn't help but want to make this play more exciting, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the princess has a noble status, and the minister thinks that he can't climb it." The minister also has no khan's status, is noble and heroic, and does not dare to marry. ”
"Luo Hansheng! How could you not know that this palace is in love with you? Today's event was designed by you, wasn't it? Don't you want to marry me and stumble me like this? It is your blessing that this palace looks down on you, and you are so ignorant! Wuyang stood up and pointed at Luo Hansheng and scolded.
"The princess ordered the lotus seeds, and the lower officials stripped them. It is also true that he will have time to strip His Majesty in the future. Where? Besides, the will is under His Majesty, can the lower officials still command His Majesty? Luo Hansheng looked innocent and aggrieved.
