Chapter 40: The Words of Man
When Liu Yi was already thinking a lot, Huo Chengjun guessed his thoughts, "Your Majesty thinks that the courtiers have another purpose. She did not shy away from it, and there was no indignation on her face, just like a normal thing to state her opinions, but it made Liu Yi a little embarrassed.
"Don't mention it before, Pingjun, how relieved you are." His own persuasion may not be useful, and I don't know what to say, maybe Huo Chengjun can help to explain it, Liu Yi has seen Xu Pingjun every day, how can he not know her situation, but he also has his difficulties.
"Your Majesty's words are worth ten sentences from Chengjun, why don't you go yourself?" Seeing that Liu Ai's face had sunk, Huo Chengjun was also a lot calmer, without the excitement of Fang Cai, although the words were still not good, his attitude was much better.
Liu Yi had already sat down in the pavilion, and motioned for Huo Chengjun to sit down next to him, "I don't think I have any reason to say more, you teach me how to say it, she looks like this because of me after all." Liu Ai had deep self-blame and helplessness in his words, and Huo Chengjun also felt it.
The face with a little anger was immediately replaced by concern, "But you can't always be like this, she knows the general situation, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind, why spoil those people, it's not me who provokes trouble, Rong Meiren's words can't be fully believed, is it possible that Your Majesty still can't trust the people who have been with you for so many years?" Although he asked so, Huo Chengjun believed that Liu Yi would not believe it, he was not a faint gentleman who was unaware of right and wrong.
"Do you know what? If I am with Pingjun day and night, it will only make the people in this harem more jealous, I am afraid that she will be difficult to deal with herself in this palace, I can still protect her, but how can I always be with her, she is so kind, I am afraid that she will be hurt by the jealousy of those people. As Huo Chengjun expected, Liu Yi already knew very well how true and false Rong Meiren's words were, but it was this incident that reminded him that such a special pet might bring more trouble to Xu Pingjun, so he chose to accompany the newcomer at night, but he only sat together until dawn.
Huo Chengjun was inexplicably moved, "She knows your thoughts, and she must be relieved, they all say that the emperor is good, and they all want to accompany the king, but who knows how many of them can't help themselves, you are so, ......so hazy" Her eyes were red for a while, and she felt sorry for the simple person in the Han Palace, "Take good care of her!" He didn't say much, but he also said what he thought in his heart.
Liu Yi has rarely discovered the other side of Huo Chengjun, and he is no longer the young lady Jiao, "There is no one above the Pingjun court, so it will make people think that it is easy to bully, and there is a general to protect him at that time, who does Pingjun protect him?" In Liu Ai's eyes, Xu Pingjun is the only one she can rely on in this palace, so since she entered the palace, she has also been cautious, for fear of causing herself any trouble.
"Your Majesty is talking about Chengjun, I don't know about the affairs of the court, but Your Majesty has ever thought that what Your Majesty is not in the face of Chengjun alone, but in the face of all the people who have mentioned Chengjun, and there are rules over there, and my father is not intentional, and if it is inappropriate, Chengjun will make amends for his father." After speaking, Huo Chengjun got up, knelt on the ground, and was about to kowtow but was helped up by Liu Yi.
"I don't blame you, why don't I know why, now that I am not in power, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are also handled by the generals, I should be grateful, but Chengjun, I really can't express my gratitude with a political marriage." This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ying was so opposed to the proposal of the courtiers at that time, of course, more importantly, he only had Xu Pingjun in his heart.
"Cheng Jun understands that above the court, it is difficult for the world to fulfill people's wishes, how can this person who gets along day and night be reluctant, isn't it too bitter." Huo Chengjun smiled indifferently at Liu Yi's explanation for the first time, she had already put it down, so she didn't care about those things.
In the surprise of Liu Ai, Huo Chengjun did not sit down again, but said, "Your Majesty's intentions, Chengjun has already understood, the queen's mother, if there is a chance, she will persuade her, Your Majesty is not more worried, and the courtiers will retire." He turned around and left like this, leaving only a back for Liu Ai.
Huo Chengjun himself has never known him, this is what Liu Ai has thought of looking at her departing back, but he always feels that there is something he can't grasp, maybe it is because Xu Pingjun's appetite is not good these days, and his low mood these days, Liu Ai is afraid that he will go further and further away from her.
Yunling and Huo Chengjun walked out of the palace gate, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, you dare to speak to Your Majesty like this, fortunately, Your Majesty did not blame, but you scared the slave maid." While talking, patting his chest, this time, it can be described as terrifying, even Liao's father-in-law, who has been in the palace for a long time and has experienced a lot of wind and waves, also sweated for Huo Chengjun, no matter how good it is with the Empress Dowager, it is also bold to talk to His Majesty like this, after all, Liu Yi is no longer Liu Fuling.
"At this point, do you know why I didn't let Yunping enter the palace with me?" Yunling has always served Huo Chengjun's side, after Huo Chengjun let her go home a few days ago, the two have become a lot closer, and Yunling's courage is also greater than before, at least Huo Chengjun, the master, is not a person who does not know right and wrong, and he is a little more compassionate when he is young, and he has a little more sense of closeness.
"She talks too much, she's too bold, I'm afraid she said something she shouldn't say, it would be nice if you two complemented each other." Having said that, it is not easy to talk about, at least Huo Chengjun thought that only Yun Se was that kind of person, and he couldn't help but remember it again by accident.
Liu Yi has been talking with Huo Chengjun for a short time, and it is in an inconspicuous place, but there are always people along the way who see that not long after Huo Chengjun left, the words have been transmitted to Shangguan You's ears, and Shangguan You's intriguing taste: "Chengjun, you should come less in this palace." He sighed, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
"Queen Mother, Rong Meiren is here, waiting outside." Shangguan Youhao sighed, the palace maid had come to report, this Rong beauty was sent by Shangguan Youhao, I didn't want to care about their affairs, I just wanted to watch the flowers bloom and fall quietly in this harem, but Xu Pingjun passed Huo Chengjun, Shangguan Youhao was afraid that Huo Chengjun would often enter the palace, so he thought about solving it and mentioning this Rong beauty.
"The concubine has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is healthy." Wan Er's courtesy, soft voice, just a gentle woman like water.
"No courtesy." Shangguan Youyou corrected the positive color, "The matter of the harem has a queen, and the mourning family should not have asked, but recently rumors have spread in the palace, the queen is kind-hearted and will not be severely punished, but the mourning family does not have such a measure, I heard that this matter is from the Rong Beauty Palace, I don't know who the beauty knows who has such unnoticed words?" Shangguan Youhao is obscure, and he pushed everything to the people in Rong Meiren's palace, and also saved her some face.
It's a pity that this Rong beauty didn't know what she was thinking, so she replied, "What the palace people said is not true, why did the Empress Dowager say this, isn't it someone who is bewitched?" ”
"Presumptuous, don't say that this is untrue, how can the master's affairs be discussed by the next person, the mourning family has been in the palace for many years, and I don't know that there is such a rule, Rong Meiren put it in the palace, I don't know the rules, and the mourning family doesn't study deeply, but since it's your person, you should take care of their mouths, if there is a next time, no matter who it is, the mourning family will never be spared, everyone in this palace is arrogant, and there are rules at all?" Compared with Fang Cai's words, Shangguan Youhao's words were much harsher.
Rong Meiren is favored again, and this status will never be able to be hazy with Shangguan, so she has to "promise" and stop talking.
And Shangguan Youhao is iron-hearted this time, and the rules of the harem are rectified, "Surrender the person in your palace to the mourning family, you can't discipline it, and the mourning family has nothing to do, just discipline and discipline it for you." Shangguan Youhao knows that if he doesn't pursue it again, he is afraid that there will be no rules in the palace in the future, Xu Pingjun is benevolent, as long as it is not a matter of murder and arson, I am afraid that they will be spared, she doesn't know, sometimes she still needs to kill chickens and monkeys, and now, this wicked person can only do it himself, and by the way, Xu Pingjun will stand up in this harem.
Shangguan Youhao has already spoken, Rong Meiren is not good at saying anything, and she has to make amends with a smile, and she is unhappy in her heart.
"Master, since she is the queen mother, why should she be so wronged?" The maid who came with the marriage was puzzled, but a widow, why should she be so polite to her, even if she has the power, the Son of Heaven has been replaced, and she is just an ornament.
"If she is not Huo Guang's granddaughter, with Huo Guang's protection, why should I be so wronged!" Rong Meiren was naturally angry, the most fundamental reason was that her mother offended Huo Xian, and she wanted to intercede through Shangguan Youhao's help, so she couldn't bear it.
"No matter how big Huo Guang is, he is just a courtier, Your Majesty loves beauties so much now, why don't beauties blow the pillow wind with Your Majesty, just a word from Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan can't say anything." Mama is a person who has been in the palace for a long time, and she knows very well what "a son of heaven and a courtier" is, so she pouted Rong Meiren and Liu Ai to talk.
But Liu Ai has really treated himself, only Rong Meiren himself knows, although he summons himself, but every night is just to watch himself dance, or listen to a piano music, talk a few words, it is already dawn, nothing else, and Liu Ai has done this, Rong Meiren is not clear, it is also because of this ambiguity that he wants to be good friends with Shangguan Youhao, and also to find a reliable person for himself in this palace, undoubtedly, in addition to Xu Pingjun, it is Shangguan Youhao, who carries the title of the granddaughter of the general, and someone can also speak for him in the future.
"However, the beauty should not underestimate this empress dowager, Your Majesty can ascend the throne, and it is indispensable to abolish the king of Changyi with her."
"I heard that it was because the Marquis of Hailuo was thinking about her, and there were any disrespectful words and deeds, so she ended up being abolished, and it seems that this queen mother is not the master of trouble." The maid talked about Shangguan Youhao unscrupulously, but she didn't know that these words had already been heard by people outside the door and reached the ears of those who cared.
Seeing that a storm is about to set off in this harem, I have to say that the three masters and servants are too bold to discuss these taboo words unguardedly.
