Chapter 18: With You
Under the full moon, the silver-white fox fur cloak looked softer, and the moonlight also hit Huo Chengjun's fair face, "I'll accompany you." With a faint smile, he blinked, approached Shangguan's hazy side, and looked up at the bright moonlight with her.
"Pingjun ......" eyes are flowing with infinite affection, although since Xu Pingjun entered the palace, the two have met day by day, but in the eyes of Liu Ai, there is a difference between wife and concubine, only if she really becomes her own queen, it can be regarded as a real reunion, tonight, it is the first satisfactory thing since Liu Ai has entered the palace.
Xu Pingjun's cheeks flushed, like a bride, with the shyness of a girl, and quietly spoke, "I'm sick, you've done too much for me, I just need to be by your side." Her affection never wanted him to repay, and when she saw what he had done for herself, how could that heart not be moved, she knew that he was trying his best to give himself the supreme honor, and this feast today was also his declaration of sovereignty for himself.
The mood flowed slowly between the fixed gaze, Liu Ying had already lightly taken Xu Pingjun, let her head rest on his arms, and listened to his steady heartbeat, so peaceful and peaceful, it was the first time since he entered the palace.
After a long time, Liu Ying said slowly and softly: "Finally, we don't have to be separated from each other." "For this day, I thought about how long I was thinking, and I sighed endlessly.
Weiyang Jiaofang was tender, and the Changle Palace stayed awake all night, and the two women looked at the full moon in a daze, "Chengjun, go back and rest." The sky was bright, Shangguan got up and pulled Huo Chengjun to the palace, there was no trace all night, but the dew on his clothes and hair still revealed everything.
Huo Chengjun listened to Shangguan You's words and rested in Changle Palace, but Shangguan Youhao was not so leisurely, on the second day of the emperor and the queen's wedding, as the empress dowager, she still had many ceremonies to preside, and there were still many scenes to come forward, Huo Chengjun's rest was just the beginning of Shangguan's hectic busyness.
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty and Empress have arrived outside the palace."
Put down the tea cup in his hand to relieve fatigue, "Please, the people who save their lives prepare tea." "Because I knew that Liu Ying and Xu Pingjun would come over early this morning, I also let Huo Chengjun rest early and avoid the two, after all, they met at this time, which would only increase the embarrassment.
"The concubine asks the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, and the Empress Dowager invites tea." Xu Pingjun moved lightly in small steps, knelt in front of Shangguan Youhao, put his hands over his forehead, and offered the tea cup.
Shangguan Youhao took the tea in Xu Pingjun's hand, took a sip, and felt more sad than happy in his heart, at the same age, he was still younger than her in terms of months, but he was already the queen mother, and after she had His Majesty to protect each other all the way, the strong affection between the two eyes could not be ignored, setting off their lonely shadow.
"The Empress Dowager, you have to prepare breakfast for the lord of the county." Shangguan's hazy special arrangement was still ruined by the little palace maid's words.
Shangguan Youhao looked at Liu Aiji, except for a flash of surprise in his eyes, there was no expression, but Xu Pingjun said with a little joy: "Since Chengjun is here, we will eat together, since the farewell of Huofu, I have not had a good talk with her, besides, now I can be the queen, and I should thank Chengjun for her success, and Your Majesty and I should give Chengjun a cup." ”
For Huo Chengjun, Xu Pingjun has changed from being wary at the beginning to being a grateful person, in fact, from beginning to end, Huo Chengjun never thought of competing with her for something, she was just a person who was pushed by the family in front of the wind and waves, and she was just a little girl who did not experience the world.
"This ......" Shangguan You's face was embarrassed, a good dream that couldn't bear to disturb Huo Chengjun, who was sleeping; The second also depends on whether Liu Ill is willing or not, so he turned his head to look at Liu Ill who was standing next to Xu Pingjun, and the meaning of the inquiry was very obvious.
The beloved wife has said this, Liu Yi will naturally not save her face, not to mention that Liu Yi already has his own thoughts: Xu Pingjun's mother's family has no power and power, and his father can't even wait to seal it, if she can make friends with Huo Chengjun and have the Huo family, she doesn't have to worry about being bullied in the future, so she nodded to Shangguan Youhao and agreed.
In this way, Shangguan Youhao could only order Song Wan to invite Huo Chengjun to the dining room to eat together, and did not let others go, also because the only person she could trust was Song Bang, and Song Bang has always been steady in doing things, and he will definitely explain the situation in the dining room to Huo Chengjun.
"Your Majesty and the Empress will dine with the mourning family first." It was obviously impossible to let the emperor wait, so Shangguan Youhao led the two to the dining room first.
Sleepy-eyed, when he heard the words from Song Bang, Huo Chengjun was excited, and Bo Shi Fandai walked quickly to the dining room and the door, slowed down the speed of his feet, and walked forward and squatted to salute.
Xu Pingjun hurriedly got up and helped Huo Chengjun up with both hands, "Sister, no outsider doesn't have to be so polite, I already know the words of my sister and His Majesty that day, I invite my sister to come over today, but I want to thank my sister well, you are so polite, but it is not mine." With a smile, he pulled Huo Chengjun to his side and sat down.
"In those days when Pingjun was in your mansion, I was bothered to take care of Miss Huo, and I replaced the wine with tea, thank Miss Huo for her kindness." Although Liu Yi had said so, he knew that he was not only grateful to her for leaving Xu Pingjun and for letting them meet as husband and wife, but also for the determination he made after his words that day.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and it is a matter of duty to share worries for the king." responded with a smile and took a sip of Chinese tea, the taste of which was only understood by Huo Chengjun himself.
Huo Guang returned home and knew that Huo Xian sent his daughter to the palace, although he blamed him, he couldn't, after all, it was good to let her accompany Shangguan Youhao, but in the past few days, he was afraid that she would meet Liu Ai in Changle Palace, so how to deal with herself, and Huo Xian's intentional or unintentional arrangements strengthened Huo Guang's mind even more.
"Brother Bing, do you know how long will Long Ehou stay when he returns to Chang'an this time?" Han Zeng came suddenly, he was afraid that he would leave suddenly, Huo Guang could ask a bunch of things, how could he let him leave easily.
"I don't know about this, Brother Huo, why are you asking this?" Bing Ji was curious, and his heart also raised his throat, could it be that Lao Huo wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and this dragon was the first to stand up and support Xu Pingjun.
Without waiting for Bing Ji to persuade him, Huo Guang guessed what he was thinking from his frightened face, "You don't think much about it, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, I just care about the situation in various places, and I don't know." ”
Huo Guang smiled heartily, but he gave Bing Ji a reassurance, but he was still full of questions, "I don't know about this matter, Fang Fang will stay longer, what Brother Huo thinks, I'm afraid it's more than that, can you talk to Bing someone?" Huo Guang doesn't seem to be a casual questioner, as General Sima, he knows more about government and military affairs than himself, so why bother to ask himself.
