Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Scenery is Like the Past World
Dressed in a black robe, let the light snow scatter on the clothes and hair, on the city wall, overlooking the lights of thousands of homes only a little light, after the extreme darkness of the night, is the dawn that is gradually brightening.
"Pingjun, it's another year, the year before last, you were seriously ill, but you still accompanied me to watch the fire tree and silver flowers bloom all over the sky, you are gone, no one is like this, you say Huo Chengjun is a good one, but now, will you blame me?" After Huo Chengjun was asleep, Liu Yi quietly went to the city wall alone, looking at the sky and the scenery that he had seen with Huo Chengjun, but the scenery was like the end of the world in the past.
Liu Yi has been standing in this snow for a long time, his eyes are red, but his face has never been wet, "The twilight snow is white, the head is white, but it is just a snow, and it can't be white!" "After marrying Xu Pingjun, every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they keep vigil together until dawn, but now there is no one who keeps vigil together.
After watching it for a while, taking advantage of the last trace of darkness in the night sky, Liu Ying had already stepped back on the road to Jiaofang Palace, but along the way, the clenched fist in his hand never let go.
Liu Ai had quietly returned to the Jiaofang Palace, without alarming anyone, he lifted the quilt, still lying beside Huo Chengjun, looking at his sleeping face, Liu Ai's hand couldn't help but touch it gently, but when Fang came back, his hand was still cold, causing Huo Chengjun to turn around.
Liu Ying had hurriedly withdrawn the hand that covered Huo Chengjun's cheek, "It would be nice if I could be like you and have no worries", Liu Ying had a complicated face, and finally put his hand around Huo Chengjun's waist, and the two leaned on each other tightly and closed their eyes quietly.
Han Zeng didn't have such a comfort, and the two of them talked to each other until dawn, but they didn't close their eyes all night, looking at the dawn of the east, they only sighed, "I didn't think about it, the sky is also bright, go to rest and rest first, and when Zhao Heqi comes back, he will definitely be busy again, and he can go to the streets of this Chu country to walk around these days." ”
"It's okay, there is no one on the street at this time, and later, Master Hou is willing to accompany me to go shopping, I am not familiar with the Chu country, if I go out alone, I don't have the courage." Pipa looked at Han Zeng directly, she understood very well that a woman didn't have to pretend to be strong in everything.
"I have nothing to do, after resting, it's okay to go out together, although it is an errand, but this leisure time should also relax and relax, not to mention this big New Year, when the time comes, go to see Old Man Zhao together, such a big mansion, everyone has gone home to reunite, then Zhao Heqi and his wife will take at least a day or two to arrive, and one person is strangely lonely." Han Zeng has a good impression of Old Man Zhao, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, he also understands righteousness, and knows what contentment is, how many people in this world can understand "contentment".
"Okay, then, I'll go back and close my eyes first." Pipa turned and went to the room, this night, I didn't know what to do before, but this mention yawned, and I felt sleepy.
The two of them went back to their rooms to rest, but Chang'an City slowly began to be lively, on the first day of the new year, Liu Ying and Huo Chengjun had to accept the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials and ladies, so they had to get up early, after dealing with these things, Huo Chengjun was already a little tired, but Huo Xian was still nagging on the side.
"I look at Narong Beauty's belly today, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth, your heart is really wide, I heard that she is a prince in her belly, since you don't want to deal with her, why hasn't your stomach moved", Huo Xian saw that Huo Chengjun didn't speak, but asked vigorously.
"Chengjun, you tell your mother honestly, has Your Majesty come to you these days?" Huo Chengjun's body should be no problem after Chun Yuyan's conditioning, Huo Xian couldn't help but wonder if Liu Yi still favored Huo Chengjun as he did before after Liu Yi had this Zhang Jieyu.
"Mother, do you want to look through the records of where Your Majesty goes every night, maybe your daughter doesn't have this blessing?" Huo Chengjun has been annoyed a few times, during this time, every time Huo Xian enters the palace, he will definitely mention this matter, and he has long been tired of hearing it.
"You always don't listen to my words, and you will regret it in the future." Huo Xian is the person who is not satisfied, and he only thinks about a higher position.
Huo Chengjun didn't want to deal with these words anymore, so he only turned to Fengzhi, "Isn't the fourth sister also pregnant, my mother still spends some time caring about the fourth sister's well, and I don't know how the fourth sister is doing now, by the way, I haven't seen the fourth sister just now." ”
"You and your father are really the same, I only know that I want to see Huo Chengshu, if it weren't for Fan Mingyou's usefulness to the Huo family, I really don't want to go over, don't worry, Huo Chengshu is very good, the Fan family is now offering her!" Huo Xian rolled his eyes, he listened to Huo Guang's words and went to see Huo Chengshu that day, but he didn't see how polite she was, and he was already unhappy in his heart.
"She's in Shangguan You, I'll come over later." Huo Chengshu has fewer opportunities to meet Shangguan Youhao than Huo Chengjun, this time he finally entered the palace, and his aunt and niece naturally have to talk about it well.
"Fourth aunt, when is the due date of this child?" Shangguan Youhao stroked Huo Chengshu's bulging lower abdomen, his eyes full of softness and kindness.
"The doctor said that at the end of April, nine times out of ten, this is a daughter."
"If it's a daughter, the fourth aunt has a pair of children, and I also have a little sister." Shangguan Youhao is full of expectations for the child in Huo Chengshu's womb, and when it comes to generation, this fetus that is more than 20 years old behind him is still his sister, and there is always a sense of closeness.
After seeing Baiguan, Liu Yi thought about it, and went to see Rong Jieyu's mother and son, after all, the child in her womb was her unborn son, and the due date was also in these two months.
Rong Jieyu was naturally happy to see Liu Ai, first, Liu Ai hadn't stepped into the Phixiang Hall for a long time, just let her take care of the fetus; Second, this is the first day of the new year, and in the morning, Liu Yi has come to see himself, although he guessed that there must be some factors for this child, but after all, there is a little weight of his own.
"Concubine to see Your Majesty", Rong Jieyu's smiling appearance is much better than her usual jealousy.
"Pregnant, no need to be formal", Liu Yi had already helped Rong Jieyu up, for fear that she would be injured, so he helped her to the side and sat down, and he was next to Rong Jieyu and slowly sat down, "This child is about to be born, are you okay?" ”
In fact, when Liu Yi had seen Rong Jieyu's pot-bellied appearance, he also thought of Xu Pingjun, when he was pregnant with Liu Zheng, he was nearly a few months into labor, and his movement was extremely inconvenient, but he still prepared hot meals for himself as always, and greeted himself with a smile......
"The child kicks the concubine a few times from time to time, but the rest is fine", Rong Jieyu's pregnancy reaction is not very big, that is, she is more sleepy.
Liu Ill has been promised because the child in Rong Jieyu's womb actually stayed for lunch in the Phixiang Palace, but this is rare, Rong Jieyu was overjoyed, and only thought about how to go next.
Mrs. Rong also came to look for Rong Jieyu, but when she heard the palace maid say that Her Majesty was inside, she walked around with great interest, and only taught people not to disturb the two.
Jiaofang Palace, when Huo Chengjun saw Huo Guang, he knew that Liu Yi must have been empty, but he didn't know where he went, although he was a little lost, but because his family was around, it was okay, especially after several sisters of the Huo family and Huo Yu went to Jiaofang Palace.
Huo Chengjun is most concerned about Huo Guang's body, and when he saw him, he naturally asked, "Daddy, have you been in better health recently?" Huo Guang looked much more energetic than before, perhaps because of the happy event of Huo Chengshu's pregnancy, plus Huo Xian, there was no storm now.
"As a father, I still want to watch the niece in Chengshu's womb be born, and I should take good care of this body." Huo Guang smiled heartily, Huo Chengjun's heart can also be regarded as relaxed, Huo Guang's illness, since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, it has not been a few days, it has been going back and forth, Huo Chengjun is naturally worried, although he often hears Huo Xian say that he is fine, but after all, he is really relieved when he sees it.
On the streets of Chu State, although there are fewer vendors visiting relatives and friends because of the Chinese New Year, the people who come and go are still lively, Han Zeng finally put down his business, and naturally he wants to take a good walk.
The pipa also completely exposes the little woman's heart, and after a while, I will take a look here, and then try the hairpin and head over there, and I have been shopping for a long time, and I have seen a lot, but I haven't bought a piece.
"Don't have one you like?" Han Zeng twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of something, "If you have anything to look at, just tell me, just when you accompany me through this gift." He thought that it was because Pipa was strapped for money, and he was very generous thinking that he would pay for her, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he said it so tactfully.
Pipa immediately heard the meaning of Han Zeng's words, and shook his head, "If I like it, I will naturally buy it, but these things are good-looking, Chang'an may not have them, and if you buy them here, you have to spend effort to bring them back, so why bother?" ”
Seeing the half-believing look on Han Zeng's face, Pipa smiled and said: "I still have the top card of Luoyinxuan for so many years, just the silver taels rewarded, maybe you will have a month's worth of money, how can you not have some private money?" Besides, since Luoyinxuan, he has been living in the Hou Mansion, but there is nothing to use. "What Pipa said is also true, after all, like her, she will always leave the land of flowers and moons for herself in the future, leaving some way back, and silver and self are indispensable.
"So it's my own affection, if you really like it, you can tell me, whether it's in the Hou Mansion, this time, thank you for taking care of it." After all, Han Zeng is a man, and he is only careful in political affairs, and he is always not as careful as Pipa in life, besides, if Pipa didn't ask Old Man Zhao, this matter would not have gone so smoothly.
Pipa Wan'er smiled, "These things are not necessary, but Master Hou really wants to thank me?" ”
Han Zeng knew that she must still have something to say here, but he still followed her, "Naturally, it's sincere." ”
"Since Hou Ye is sincere, but Pipa is disrespectful, Hou Ye may accompany Pipa to a place and be a thank you gift from Hou Ye." It was rare for Pipa to face Han Zeng so easily, and there was a hint of mystery in his expression.
