Chapter 37: Reminiscence

Shangguan Youhao caught Han Zeng's gaze, but Liu Ill's comings and goings were not something he could control, and Liu Ill didn't say much when he saw this, but he thought that these two people were over, the luncheon should be over, and Xu Pingjun should also return to the palace.

Without waiting for Liu Yi to ask and confirm, Huo Chengjun had already stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the queen has returned to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

"Since you and the Empress Dowager are old friends, let's have a good chat here, and I won't bother you." After speaking, Liu Ying had already gone out of the door, and he was also anxious to see what happened to Xu Pingjun.

Huo Chengjun glanced at the departing Liu Aiji, and then came back to his senses, "Hazy, Han Zeng is going back to the border after this Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”

"So fast, you're always coming and going." Han Zeng wanted to leave, which was expected by Shangguan You, but he didn't expect that in such a hurry, Han Zeng was already one of the four ministers of the Inner Dynasty, but he was not good, and he also knew how to restrain himself, so he would rather go to the border than stay in Chang'an.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Han Zeng smiled, his face full of spring breeze, full of youthful breath, "I came back this time, and I have been staying for a long time." Between the words, Yu Guang glanced at Huo Chengjun, if it weren't for the aftermath, if it weren't for hearing that she was also involved in this whirlpool, Han Zeng would not have come back so quickly, in the final analysis, it was because of this childhood affection.

Shangguan Youhao nodded, "Sit down, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to remember me." Shangguan laughed at himself, the rarest thing in the palace is the word "love", thinking about it, he is already lucky.

The three of them chatted in the Changxin Hall until dinner, from the first acquaintance to the acquaintance; From how they looked at each other's unpleasant eyes to the things they experienced together, almost the entire childhood was connected, and during the most difficult and frightening period of Shangguan You, it was the two of them who made her laugh with a word from you and me; In those days, the memories were full of them and those who were gone; The three of them were not the most beautiful times for each other, when there might be sorrow, but not as much as now; At that time, I would still cry, but now I have learned to keep tears in my heart, no matter how big things are; Maybe what can't be returned is the most worth remembering, and I hope to extend that period of time and spread it to this day, but it's just a beautiful hope, and I still have to return to reality after all. In the end, the three of them all had different feelings, and the same thing was that the autumn waves were sparkling.

"Youhao, if anything happens, send me a message at any time, and I will definitely rush back." This farewell, I'm afraid that it will take another year and a half to see each other, Han Zeng still wants to take advantage of the spring to rest for a few more days, but now there is no war, although it is also training and recuperating there, but there are always many people here, but in Changxin Palace, I met Liu Ai, in order to reassure him, it is better to leave earlier, and he needs to keep a little more distance from the Huo family in the future, so thinking about it, Han Zeng thinks that it is an extremely wise choice to refuse to marry Huo Chengjun, otherwise it will definitely attract Liu Aiji's vigilance, but I am afraid that he will also lose the freedom to leave if he wants.

"I'll go back with you." Huo Chengjun and Han Zeng were both people who wanted to go home, so they happened to leave together, and by the way, they could chat a few more words, but Huo Chengjun left Changle Palace, and Father-in-law Liao chased after him.

"The county lord stays, Your Majesty asks the county lord to move to the Jiaofang Palace." When Gonggong Liao saw Huo Chengjun's departing figure, he shouted loudly, for fear that he would miss it, and he would have to run to Huo's mansion.

Huo Chengjun glanced at Han Zeng and confirmed what Gonggong Liao had just said, and when he saw Han Zeng nodding, he knew that he had heard correctly, Liu Yi had summoned him and ordered Gonggong Liao to come in person, this was really the first time, Huo Chengjun was also a little panicked in his heart, but he had to respond, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, wait for me to send the Marquis of Long Ehou out of the palace and then go, can you?" Huo Chengjun didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he thought about delaying it first.

Gonggong Liao looked kind, "In this way, the old slave will go to restore his life first, Miss Huo will go to the Jiaofang Hall as soon as possible, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." Father-in-law Liao also kindly reminded him, after all, he has always been by the side of the first emperor, and he is also familiar with Huo Chengjun.

"Thank you, father-in-law, Chengjun understands." The words of the people around the emperor sometimes play a vital role, no matter whether such a person is good or bad, Huo Chengjun will not be easily offended, maybe there will be something to rely on in the future, so naturally he is polite.

After Father-in-law Liao left, Huo Chengjun also went to the palace gate with Han Zeng, and halfway through, he began to talk about the matter of Fang Cai, "What is the matter with Your Majesty summoning me?" There was only Han Zeng beside him, and he could only ask him.

"Your Majesty is good at the people, and it is different from what the average emperor thinks, and it is difficult for me to guess, you should be careful between your words, if you really can't deal with it, you will cough a few times, saying that your body has not healed, and you should go home to take medicine as soon as possible." As Han Zeng said, Liu Aiji's mind is not something that anyone can guess, sometimes, it all depends on him, and he wants you to know something, which is completely different from Emperor Zhao.

Walk to the gate of the palace, take a few steps outside, it is outside the palace, a few steps away, two worlds, "outside, you also need to be careful, unfinished words, goodbye to the time." "No matter how reluctant he is, there will eventually be a farewell, and he will not be able to reach the distance he is going to if he is thousands of miles away.

Han Zeng nodded, continued to walk forward, and just when he was one step away from the palace gate, he turned around again, and said that he was not at ease, "Chengjun, it's better to come here less, you shouldn't be trapped." ”

Huo Chengjun nodded, tears flashed in his eyes, until Han Zeng's back disappeared from his sight, Huo Chengjun turned to look at the empty palace, indeed, he never thought of being trapped here, I remember when I was a child, I also asked Youhao, "Why can't you go out, how boring it should be, I will not go to this kind of place in the future." But almost, she became the second Shangguan Youhao.

While going to the inner palace, while sorting out his thoughts, Huo Chengjun got rid of Han Zeng's emotions, and thought about what Liu Ill had been looking for himself, and also comforted Xu Pingjun of the Xu family to find himself, but Liu Ill had already ordered it for her, but unfortunately this was Huo Chengjun's guess after all, and what Father-in-law Liao said was correct.

Liu Ai has even broken away from Xu Pingjun, waiting for Huo Chengjun in Jiaofang Hall alone, which makes Huo Chengjun can't help but take half a step back, Liu Ai has been waiting for himself like this, it is not necessarily a good thing, even if he is timid, he can't turn around and leave when he comes, so he can only stand in front of Liu Ai with a hard head.

When Liu Ill was already looking at Huo Chengjun, he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he grew up in the people, how could he have an intersection with the daughter of the general, at most, he often mixed in Chang'an City, and one day it happened that she met her when she went out of the house, dispelling the doubts in his heart, Liu Ill had already cut to the point.

"You said that you are a credible person, and today you are also by Pingjun's side, I also want to believe you, but do you remember the person I said and read in the lotus pond of Suihuo Mansion?" Liu's illness has begun to become mild, and there is infinite tenderness in his eyes.

Huo Chengjun knew that what he was talking about must be Xu Pingjun, and he had already said that day, "Your Majesty said to the courtiers, the person who is reading is the wife of the people, and she is the queen's mother." Her eyes were still so pure, she didn't even doubt Liu's words.

"It's Pingjun, it's just a time when I was young, and seeing the three of you today also reminds me of the old past." With such a calm dialogue, Liu Yi and Huo Chengjun have been experienced for the first time.

Huo Chengjun could see the nostalgia in Liu Ai's eyes, it turned out that they had known each other for a long time, no wonder they had been married for two years, and they were so deeply in love, there is a kind of "fate in this world" that says the two of them.

"When I was nine years old, I met Pingjun for the first time, when she was just a short child, that winter, she looked at a tree of white plums, and said that she loved this flower, and even reached out to pick one, imitating the appearance of adults, hairpins in the hair, I also laughed at her, a child, what an adult looks like, who knew that she actually cried up her nose, I didn't know what to do for a while, and was busy picking a branch of white plum and handed it to her, who knew that she wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said that it was not rare for my white plum, and it was only sincere to make amends for the lotus flowers in the summer pool." Liu Yi's eyebrows were filled with infinite doting, and he laughed to himself, this was the first time Huo Chengjun had seen him smile so happily in the palace.

"And then? Has Your Majesty found a lotus flower? Huo Chengjun looked at Liu Ai with big eyes with questions, and his face was full of curiosity.

"Where did the lotus come from in the cold winter, she was trying to make it difficult for me, but in order to make her stop crying, I really went to find the lotus for her, but after looking for a long time, it was dark, so I stole a piece of residual lotus from someone else's lotus pond, and hurriedly ran to the plum blossom tree, who knew that she had already left, I thought it would be difficult to see her again, who knew that God treated me well, or let Pingjun return to my side."

"When you say goodbye, how did Your Majesty recognize the Queen Mother as the girl she was back then?" Such a story is too legendary, and Huo Chengjun is also curious.

"Because her name is Pingjun, because she will still be under the tree when we meet again, because this person has long been engraved in my heart, and I will not forget." From the moment they met, he had already decided that she was his wife in this life, and fate favored them, Zhang He introduced the person who matched, it was she who had to make Liu Yi believe that fate was too wonderful, and the red thread had already held the two tightly together.

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are lucky people, and they will surely grow old." Huo Chengjun thought of the two of them dyeing their hair white in the twilight snow that day, maybe all this is the arrangement of fate, then let it be arranged, she smiled, it was still so brilliant, like a warm sun, the pure light was not adulterated, and it reached the hearts of the people.

At this moment, Liu Ill has only discovered why so many people let Huo Chengjun be the queen, maybe in addition to Huo Guang's reasons, there is also her own beauty, but she has never thought about what is impressive about this person who wants to compete for the position of his beloved wife, unconsciously, Liu Ill has also asked the question that he has always wanted to ask, which made Huo Chengjun surprised.
