Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beginning of the Year

"You don't have to think too much, everything has nothing to do with you, political matters, you don't know, once our two families get married, it will only make people more defensive." Han Zeng didn't take much into account of the love of his children, hoping to make contributions and realize his ambitions, so he naturally thought more about whether he still had the opportunity to serve his family and country in the future.

Like Han Zeng, once marriage is linked to politics, it is natural to consider more, and every step he takes must be more cautious, so for the marriage with the Huo family, from the very beginning, he has an idea in his heart, that is, he refuses, but it is difficult to say it on the surface, and today Huo Chengjun asked, knowing that he should tell the truth with her, he was blunt.

How can the merciless refusal be less embarrassing, Huo Chengjun smiled reluctantly, and turned to leave, knowing Han Zeng's intentions, he should discuss this matter with his father, and don't publicize it, lest it become a matter after the election, and it will not be up and down.

After returning home, because Huo Guang had not yet returned to the house, Huo Chengjun went back to the room, and Yunping had already returned, waiting to report to her about Yunse.

"Yunling, don't make a noise about today's affairs", Huo Chengjun instructed, and ordered Yunling to retreat, and Yunling left quickly as if relieved, from the moment he learned that he was going to leave the house, Yunling's heart has never let go, and at this moment, he can finally be at peace.

Huo Chengjun said to Yun Ping, who was waiting for her, "How is the Yun Se family?" Although his tone was steady, his face was obviously anxious, and he didn't care about the tea he poured, and only asked each other attentively.

"Miss Hui, I'm afraid it's not very good." Today, I saw Yun Sefujun's appearance, his body was weak, his face was very ugly, and he listened to Yun Se's words, and there was no sign of improvement, but he ate less and less.

"Seeing that the New Year is over, may you survive these few days?" The New Year is a time of reunion, if you leave in these days, not only can you not live a stable year, watching the family reunion, the widower, how sad should the heart be, thinking of this, but also remembered the Shangguan in the palace, I haven't been to see her for several days.

"I'm afraid I can get through this year." This is just a guess, who can say who is sure of the condition, and what will happen in the next moment, it will ultimately depend on the will of God.

The days always pass inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to Chinese New Year's Eve, and the families are busy with this night's reunion, and the Huo family is no exception, up and down, inside and out, it has long been cleaned, the maids are in and out, preparing this night's meal, and Zhang Luo is carrying out this day's rituals, which is extremely cautious.

Huo Mansion is still busy inside and out, the palace is full of lights, full of festivities, for the arrival of this new year, there is always a lot of hope, after all, there are always some things will start again, and there will be new hope in the bud.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a sleepless night, and families gather together to keep watch until dawn, until they see the splendor blooming in the late night sky, and then go back to rest.

Liu Ill has gone hand in hand with Xu Pingjun to the city wall, Liu Ill has put his arm around Xu Pingjun's shoulder, let her lean close to herself, look at the flowers that bloom in the sky for a moment, and then blink and fall, sweeping away the traces left in the sky, for a long time, I didn't stand quietly in one place like this, just looking at the night and the scenery; For a long time, I didn't completely let go of the things in the court, so I snuggled up to each other so freely, this night, the sky is also beautiful, there is no wind and no rain, the Milky Way is silent, and the calm night sky reflects the calm night watchers.

"Pingjun, the first fortunate thing in this life is to know and love each other with Qing Xiangyu...... eyes look at each other, lingering affectionately, Liu Ill has married Xu Pingjun when he was down, she does not give up, and often encourages, this love, Liu Ill has long been unforgettable.

"It's enough to have such love from you in this life." She doesn't have many requirements, as long as the husband and wife are of the same heart, as long as they are safe and happy, and they are warm and affectionate, there is only one person in this heart.

In the middle of the night, when Liu Ying let go of Xu Pingjun, he took off the cloak on his body, draped it on her shoulders, smiled toothily, interlocked his fingers, and returned to the palace. The smiles of the two are as bright as the fire trees and silver flowers blooming in the night sky, with a strong hope, as if they have abandoned all their worries, and the complicated affairs of the court have nothing to do with them, as if they are still civil, that ordinary couple only have each other in their eyes.

There was no strong sadness in the departing man, so he poured a cup of wine into the earth, sprinkled it on the earth, and said, "Your Majesty, Chinese New Year's Eve, remember the last year, you are weak, taste a sip of wine, and then no longer raise a glass, but drink more tonight." It seems that the person really appeared in front of him, like a conversation between the two, watching the wine gradually seep into the ground, Shangguan Youhao picked up the wine jug, poured his own wine glass, the reflection of the candlelight was reflected on the white jade cup, the amber liquid seemed to be shining, Shangguan Youhao raised his glass, only took a sip, and then stopped drinking, in this palace, she needs to be sober enough.

Time may really dilute everything, but the traces can never be eliminated, most of the time, Shangguan Youhao seems to have slowly detached from the pain of bereavement, and in fact, for most of the year, she has not long been able to remember Liu Fuling well, within the mourning period, Liu He has entered the palace, and the palace is even more tossed by him to a miasma, Shangguan Youhao is worried about the country that Liu Fuling is working hard to guard; Liu Ill has entered the palace, sandwiched between Huo Guang and Liu Ill, be careful every step. Shangguan Youhao has no intention of political affairs, but fate has let her fall into this whirlpool, once she enters, how easy is it to get out?

"Emperor Xian, you can go with peace of mind, you will take care of yourself, will guard this country for you, Liu is no longer as good as Liu He, this Han country is handed over to him, you can rest assured, you often say, Prince Wei is a pity, now this imperial power is still in the line of Prince Wei, everything is doomed, there is no regret." Facing the empty room, he calmly told Liu Fuling about his wishes before and after his death.

In the lively scene of the Han Palace, there are a few calm hearts, but Huo Fu is destined to be difficult to be calm.

Taking advantage of the wine, Huo Guang talked about his decision, "Pingjun, at the dinner tomorrow, my father will ask Your Majesty to marry you and Han Zeng." For Huo Guang, this is something to be happy about, but he didn't know that the two of them were embarrassed, one was Huo Chengjun, and the other was Huo Xian.

Huo Xian has a bigger heart, seeing that Huo Guangyi has made up his mind, it is not good to say more; Huo Chengjun was embarrassed by the fact that he couldn't find it that day, so he put the truth aside, and fortunately he went to ask Han Zeng in person that day, otherwise I don't know how many people would see the joke tomorrow, took a sip of the wine in the cup, and said: "Father, this marriage, the daughter is unwilling, and I ask my father to think twice." ”

"Chengjun, what do you mean by this? A few days ago, there were no objections, and why now? After glancing at it for a week, it fell on Huo Xian's body, Huo Xian's attitude towards this marriage, Huo Guang has always been very clear, and naturally thinks that Huo Chengjun has made such a big change, and she has contributed to it.

After Huo Xian saw Huo Guang's eyes, he immediately defended, "Master, I didn't say anything, this is Chengjun's own decision." At the moment when she heard Huo Chengjun's exit, Huo Xian also had a moment of doubt, but it was immediately replaced by joy, she knew that Huo Guang hurt Huo Chengjun to the bone, as long as she didn't want to, Huo Guang would definitely not be reluctant, no matter what age it was, with Huo Guang's current status in the court, who dared to say anything.

"Father, Long's Marquis Mansion, my daughter can't climb high." After a sentence, he didn't explain more, and Huo Guang didn't ask anymore, but there were people who couldn't understand Huo Chengjun's expression, and they wanted to ask clearly.

"Eighth sister, you are the county lord, and your father is also the marquis, what is the matter with him......" Huo Yu did not finish speaking, the young lady sitting next to him lightly touched his toes with her feet, Huo Yu looked at his wife suspiciously, and saw her eyes looking at Huo Guang secretly, only to realize that he had lost his words, and swallowed all the questions that followed.

Huo Guang had no sleep all night, early in the morning with Bing Ji, Zhang Anshi, Tian Yannian and several people entered the palace together, led hundreds of officials to congratulate His Majesty, arranged ancestor worship matters, a busy meal, after leaving the palace and entering the palace, the sky gradually darkened, a red paper wrapped palace lamp, also gradually lit, singing and dancing rose to the night as day, above the dinner, the emperor and queen sat side by side, the tacit understanding between gestures, there are always people half envy and half jealous.

Halfway through the banquet, Liu Ai had already gotten up, lowered his posture, and toasted to the heroes, Xu Pingjun was still sitting on the table, his eyes followed the direction of Liu Ai, and from time to time he whispered a few words to the Shangguan next to him, and when he was looking into the distance, a shadow was in front of him.

"Cheng Jun respects the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." With a smile on his eyebrows, he stood in front of him with a wine glass in his hand, and the wind blew through his falling hair, adding a touch of softness.

"Thy heart is thou hast received it, so let it not be drunk." Shangguan Youhao looked at the cup in her hand, with a touch of worry, who knew that Huo Chengjun took a few steps forward, brought the wine glass close to the tip of Shangguan You's nose, and whispered, "The cup is real water, why do you want to expose me?" He curled his mouth, as if he was a little disgusted.

"Where the hell did you get the idea?" When the words fell, the three of them were all happy, which just attracted the attention of Liu Ai and Huo Guang, who came here.

After some politeness, Huo Guang put forward his request, "Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request, I don't know if Your Majesty can be gracious?" ”

Liu Yi had already seen that Huo Guang's eyes were in the same direction as what he was looking at, and he was worried, but he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to say, "General, please speak, I will do my best." ”

Liu Ill is no longer stupid, Huo Guang is also an old fox, how can he not know what he is worried about, "Your Majesty, the little girl Chengjun, since the last time she was sick, her health is not all good, after the New Year, although it has reached fifteen, the minister is selfish, I hope she will take care of her body, and then choose a son-in-law, can Your Majesty be gracious, don't let the little girl marry in a hurry." "If a woman is fifteen unmarried, she should be fined two silver taels, and as Huo Guang's daughter, she has received a lot of attention, since Han Zeng can't do it, for the future son-in-law candidate, Huo Guang has to choose well, how can he make a hasty decision, so there is such a one.

Huo Guang came out, Liu Yi was happy to agree, as long as he didn't fight his own idea, and Bing Ji was really speechless, according to what he saw, according to Lao Huo's previous meaning, today should not be a request for marriage, how can it be so, this full of questions, can only be asked after the banquet.
