Chapter Twenty-Six: Happy Events
Han Zeng and Huo Chengjun chatted and chatted, and they were already interested, and the grievances in Huo Chengjun's heart were slowly forgotten in Han Zeng's narration.
During this time, Huo Guang also came to look for the two of them, in the distance, but seeing that there was no displeasure on their faces, and occasionally they could see the smile on Huo Chengjun's face, and Han Zeng was the same, Huo Guang also left quietly, without disturbing the two, such a result is what he is happy to see, if Huo Chengjun marries Han Zeng, politically, he can help himself; Huo Chengjun himself doesn't have to enter the palace to live carefully, such an ending is undoubtedly a happy ending.
After leaving, Huo Guang fell to the ground like a matter of heart, and smiled into the lady's room, such a good thing, how could he not tell his wife, Huo Guang hoped that Huo Xian could forget about letting his daughter enter the palace, after all, the wall of the palace was too deep and thick, and it was just alienation, and outside the palace, the family could reunite from time to time, and there was no need to worry about what grievances his daughter would suffer.
"Why is the master so happy?" Since the death of Emperor Zhao, Huo Guang's brows have never been so relaxed, first worried about the throne, and because of the stalemate with Liu Ai after the establishment, the state and family affairs have not stopped, more than half a year, Huo Guang's hair has also added silver light, so today's sudden enlightenment has aroused Huo Xian's curiosity.
Huo Guang grinned, his laughter was presumptuous, "There may be happy events in the house next year." The meaning was unclear, but there was light in his eyes, and his steps were much brisker, thinking of the appearance of Huo Chengjun and Han Zeng sitting in the same flower room, Huo Guang thought that he had taken the right step, and he was glad that he couldn't bear the pain and let his daughter enter the palace.
Huo Xian didn't know what he meant, but he also asked with a smile, "The master may be more clear, what other happy events can there be in the house?" Except for Huo Chengjun, the other children are all married, and they have a flash of inspiration, "Isn't Yu'er going to have an heir?" There was infinite surprise in his expression, looking forward to this day, Huo Xian had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he couldn't expect the news, and when he heard that there was a happy event in the house, he immediately connected the two.
In Huo Xian's anticipation Huo Guang nodded, he shook his head, sat aside, and poured a glass of water from the table, "I don't know how Yu'er is, I'm afraid that Chengjun's good things are near." The extraordinarily relaxed smile all showed his good mood, and even a sip of fresh water drank different tricks.
"What do you mean by that?" Huo Xian looked at Huo Guang suspiciously, these days, all he heard was the news of the emperor's affection, which swept Huo Xian's interest, in this case, I don't know what good news Huo Guang will bring, and it is also Huo Chengjun's lifelong event.
Huo Guang had changed into a mysterious color, and paused for a long time, until the fresh water in the cup was slowly tasted, and Fang Youyou spoke, "The old man asked Shaoqing to go to Han's house a few days ago and sighed, I thought that the marriage between the two families might be very small, who knew that today I invited Han Zeng to the house, and Chengjun happened to return to the house, and now the two are talking happily in the garden, so isn't it a good thing to come?" "When the youngest daughter gets married, there will be nothing to worry about in the family.
When Huo Xian heard this, he lost a lot of interest, "The master just said yesterday, this dragon has been avoiding us, and has no intention of marriage, how can it change so much today, I am afraid that I am obsessed with Chengjun's appearance, and people who are only born for skin appearance are categorically unable to marry, this marriage, I am a mother, but I don't agree." After Huo Xian took a fancy to Liu Ai, he thought that he could not find someone who was more satisfactory to him than Liu Ai, and Han Zeng's previous attitude also made Huo Xian extremely dissatisfied, how could he be willing to let his palm treasure marry into the Han family.
Husband and wife for more than 20 years, how could Huo Guang not see Huo Xian's thoughts, and pierced with a word, "The past, don't think about it anymore, you should look at what is in front of you, the Han family and my family are right, why not, then Han Zeng has military power, can fight well, and become famous in the world is just around the corner, today in my opinion, I can also talk about it with Chengjun, it is very compatible, and Chengjun has no opinion, why not?" Huo Guang knew that he couldn't let Huo Xian continue to think about it, and he couldn't hold on to such extravagant hopes anymore.
But how can Huo Xian be as Huo Guang intended, the Huo family because of Huo Guang, many people in the court are officials, and the power is like the sky, Huo Guang is also the Marquis of Bo Lu, how can Huo Xian still look up to Han Zeng, who is also the marquis, as the saying goes, people go to high places, Huo Xian's vision is also high, not to mention that His Majesty is still young, Huo Xian doesn't believe it, he will only love Xu Pingjun alone, but it is not fresh, after a while, he is tired of the old people, his daughter is the best candidate for the queen, and he is willing to marry someone else, ruining his dream of the emperor's mother-in-law.
Huo Xian knew Huo Guang's temper very well, since he said so, Huo Xian agreed on his face, but how Huo Guang couldn't control it in his heart, he said with a smile: "The lord can't be wrong, and the Long'e Marquis Mansion is also a good place to go, after all, this Long'e Marquis is different from the Hou Mansion next to him, just the seventh marquis is not comparable to ordinary mansions, and it is also unusual." ”
Huo Guang nodded when he heard this, indeed, in addition to Liu Ill, Han Zeng is a good choice, he looks like a talent, his family background is illustrious, in terms of that background, Huo Mansion is unattainable, even if his brother Huo Quzhi is alive, it is still a difference, and the more Huo Guang thinks about it, the more satisfied he becomes.
In the high-walled deep palace, after Huo Chengjun left, Changle Palace was even more deserted, but it was rare that Liu Ill would go to Changle Palace from time to time to ask for a goodbye, and talk to Shangguan Youhao, a few days later, the three people in the palace were already familiar with each other, and Liu Ill had gradually let go of his guard.
"I really don't know how to calculate this generation, in terms of age, I am three years older than you, if you talk about the rules, I will call you an imperial grandmother......" Before the words were finished, Liu Ill couldn't help laughing, Shangguan Youhao is like this, this sentence of Imperial Grandma, Liu Ill can't even be called, and Liu Ill, who has often mixed with the people and is a ranger, is naturally not afraid of having nothing to say to Shangguan Youhao, he already has his own set, unless, he doesn't want to talk to that person, otherwise, there will never be a lack of topics, and it does relieve a lot of boredom for Shangguan Youhao.
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't know if I should ask?" After Shangguan Youhao hesitated, he still asked Liu Aiji.
Liu Yi said with a smile, "Since you have spoken, you should ask when you don't ask." "What should not be asked, it's just whether she wants to ask or not, what has been said, she is naturally ready to ask, and Liu Yiji himself is also curious about what kind of question Shangguan Youhao will ask, and looks at her with interest.
Shangguan nodded slightly, this sentence had been shelved in her heart for a long time, and she asked for fear that Liu Ying would be angry, and she was uneasy if she didn't ask, "What does Your Majesty think of the county lord?" ”
Liu Ill glanced at Shangguan Yu with deep meaning, and retracted his eyes, "Huo Chengjun ......" seemed to recall all kinds of things about Huo Chengjun, but he still couldn't say anything, for Huo Chengjun, Liu Ill had no more thoughts than being on guard, and now he was just willing to try to let go of that guard, for only Xu Pingjun, in Liu Ill's heart, Huo Chengjun was a person Xu Pingjun was willing to befriend, no matter how much, he couldn't say why, so he extended the word "Jun", and there was no superfluous words.
Shangguan Youhao had a wry smile in his heart, but his face did not show it, "You and I can't help it, why don't you become a gentleman?" In those pasts, Your Majesty should not blame Chengjun, if Your Majesty and the queen have a heart-to-heart relationship, Chengjun will not let you down. Shangguan Youhao thinks that there are very few people who know Huo Chengjun better than himself, and in the same way, the person who knows himself best now, except for the Song Wan around him, is Huo Chengjun.
"I am not a person who does not know the grace, the general's grace, I should keep in mind, you can rest assured, as long as the people of the Huo family do not touch my bottom line, I will never do it." Saying this sentence from the emperor's mouth is more of a strategy, but Liu Yi is sincere at this time; No matter how many contradictions there are with Huo Guang, Liu Yi can already feel it, Huo Guang is really assisting this Han world, although he is afraid of his current power, but he is also grateful to him for so many years and his dedication, Liu Yi has thought that Shangguan's vague meaning is just to let himself treat the Huo family well.
And Shangguan Youhao didn't stop at this, but she didn't say more, in the palace for so many years, be cautious in words and deeds, she has already learned, especially after losing the protection of Emperor Zhao, she needs to be careful step by step, even if there is a grandfather in charge of the government, it is the emperor who can control the greatest power of life and death, so when he heard that Liu He was going to abolish the demon king of the world, Shangguan Youhao agreed, and stamped the seal on that edict, it was also because of Liu He, Shangguan Youhao knew why so many people did not hesitate to shed blood for the position of the prince, Because only when the future emperor is his own son and his own person, can he gain a foothold in the palace with peace of mind.
Leaving this topic, Liu Ai has naturally talked about it with Shangguan Youhao, when he was in the people, those anecdotes when he was a ranger, and the situation in April and May when he entered the palace, but there is a deep nostalgia in his words, those free and easy days, I am afraid that I will never go back, fortunately, my beloved wife and son are by my side, so thinking about it, Liu Ai feels that he is much luckier than the lonely people in those books, and the smile also floats on the corner of his mouth.
Shangguan Youhao knew that he must have thought of Xu Pingjun, only when he looked at Xu Pingjun, only when Xu Pingjun was mentioned, there would be such a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, this smile was different from those false, maybe at this time, Shangguan Youhao also thought that he was the lucky king in the world.
"Your Majesty is here, too." When Xu Pingjun came in, he saw Liu Ai in Changle Palace, and also heard the past in Liu Ai's memories, most of those things Xu Pingjun knew, and they experienced them together.
Seeing Xu Pingjun at the door, Liu Ying was already busy getting up, "It's cold, you're not in good health, be careful." "In the past, everything in Liu Ill's family was arranged by Xu Pingjun, and everything was done by herself, even if she gave birth to Liu Zheng, but in a few days, she got out of bed and dotted, saying that the confinement is easy to recuperate and more prone to bad body, Xu Pingjun is now weak, naturally has his own reasons, for Xu Pingjun, Liu Ill has no love and shame, the two add up, so he can't let go; Therefore, it is better to turn his face with Huo Guang than to help her as a queen.
