Chapter 62: Mountain Walk
After Huo Guang no longer started Huo Chengjun's marriage, Huo Xian entered the palace to meet Shangguan Youhao a few days later, Shangguan Youhao was quite surprised by Huo Xian's arrival, for Huo Xian, Shangguan Youhao only felt that there was a long distance, and the two did not have a holiday, but for some reason, Shangguan Youhao was only unfamiliar with Huo Xian, and he also expected Huo Xian to come to something wrong, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Mrs. Huo", out of seniority, Shangguan Youhao still bowed his head to Huo Xian, and then ordered someone to serve fragrant tea, after Huo Xian took a seat, the two were relatively speechless, took the palace maid to the fragrant tea, took a sip, and then looked around, "I don't know where the Queen Mother is here to speak, I may be in the future, some of my own words to speak to the Queen Mother, this family is short, outsiders don't need to know." After that, he picked up the tea cup on the side again, and waited for Shangguan Youyu to send people back.
Although Shangguan Youhao didn't like Huo Xian's arrogance, he was helpless, he waved his hand and let people retreat, Song Wan was a little uneasy, but under Shangguan Youhao's reassuring eyes, he had to quit, but he kept guarding the door, first, he was worried about how Huo Xian would do to Shangguan Youhao; Second, I am afraid that Huo Xian's arrogant words will be heard by people with a heart, and it will affect Shangguan Youhao.
Huo Xian saw that the person had withdrawn and the door had been closed, so he had no worries and put down the tea cup in his hand, "Youhao, let me ask you, without your grandfather, you can be like this?" Can you have the comfort you have today? ”
Facing Huo Xian's sudden and indescribable smile, Shangguan Youhao couldn't help but be shocked, "Grandfather's kindness is unforgettable, what did Mrs. Huo have to say?" "When these things are mentioned, it will be known that Huo Xian has indeed come to ask for this favor.
"Youhao, do you still remember what I mentioned to you when Your Majesty entered the palace?" Huo Xian's expression softened, but the past was brought up again, and Shangguan Youhao immediately knew what she was talking about, but the clearer she was, the more confused the color in her eyes became.
"Madam, Your Majesty has now established the Xu family as the queen, not to mention the harmony between the husband and wife, the two also have children, and the Xu family is not wrong on weekdays, and what Madame mentioned before is no longer possible." At that time, what Huo Chengjun said to himself was that he wanted His Majesty to nod and let Huo Chengjun enter the palace as the queen, but Xu Pingjun had not yet entered the palace at that time, but now everything is a foregone conclusion, and His Majesty will never abolish the queen, so how can he come from before.
The corners of Huo Xian's mouth curled slightly, "You just have to praise and praise you in front of Your Majesty, and I will arrange the rest, you just need to remember that it is a matter of time before Chengjun enters the palace, and if you become the queen, it is better than outsiders dominating that son, faint, you think, you can accompany you every day after becoming a king, you two are good, so it is also a confidant for you." "Soft and hard, Huo Xian doesn't believe that Shangguan Youhao will not be moved, anyway, Huo Chengjun's entry into the palace is only beneficial to Shangguan Youhao, and Shangguan Youhao has already been connected to the Huo family after Shangguan's family was wiped out, so how can he not listen to it.
"Even if Cheng Jun enters the palace and is named Mrs. Jieyu, won't he depreciate himself, and have you asked Cheng Jun if he is willing?" Huo Chengjun's arrogance, Shangguan Youhao is very clear, and she and Xu Pingjun are close, how will the two of them deal with each other, Shangguan Youhao's words are even more sad.
Huo Xian didn't care, "Chengjun's side is not something you should worry about, I am her biological mother, will I push her into the fire pit with my own hands?" Huo Xian only wanted to be Shangguan Youhao, his face was slightly angry, "Youhao, my daughter will never be a concubine, Xu Pingjun's body, hum ......" After that, Huo Xian did not say it clearly, but Shangguan Youhao felt a chill from his heart.
After Huo Xian left, Song pulled in, but saw Shangguan's hazy face a little pale, and she faintly heard a few words outside the door, "Master, Huo Xianke has something to embarrass you again?" Song Wan had no good impression of Huo Xianben, and every time she saw Shangguan's hazy appearance, she was even more disgusted.
She left, carefully letting people listen.
"What if you listen to it, Huo Xian only thinks that we are relying on the Huo family, having said that, if there is no Queen Mother in the palace all these years, how can General Huo be trusted by the first emperor, and how can he abolish the Marquis of Haidun so easily!" The more Song Wan spoke, the more angry he became, and his voice also sounded, but fortunately, Shangguan Youhao was beside him.
"Is it up to us to negotiate the affairs of the DPRK and China? These words must not be repeated. Shangguan Youhao saw that there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's affairs are the most taboo for the public, and he is usually steady, thinking that he is really unfair, so he reminded him and did not blame.
"Song Bang, do you know what place to talk outside the palace?" Shangguan Youhao knew that he should talk to Huo Chengjun about this, the palace was not a place to talk, and if he went to Huo Mansion, he would definitely be known to Huo Xian, so he needed to find another place.
"It's up to Miss Eight to decide, it's just that the Queen Mother, Miss Eight is fine, Huo Xian still needs to be careful." Huo Xian's methods are not unknown, but she has never said it, and she is afraid that Shangguan will know about it, and it will be difficult to bear, after all, she has lost too much, if even the Huo family can't believe it, I don't know what will happen to her.
Shangguan nodded slightly, his eyebrows unfurled, "How is Pingjun's health these days?" Shangguan Youhao didn't want to go out, and knew that Liu Ying had been in Jiaofang Hall these days, and he wouldn't disturb the two of them boringly, just thinking that after more than a month of recuperation, Xu Pingjun must have gotten a lot better, and when he heard the palace maid say that he saw His Majesty and the queen enjoying the snow together, he thought that even if it wasn't good, he had already improved, otherwise Liu Yi would have been the first to disagree, but today, Huo Xian's last unspoken words made Shangguan Youhao's mood difficult to calm down.
"The imperial doctor, Chun Yuyan and the people of Jiaofang Hall all said that their health was getting better, and the slave maid went to see it a few times on the order of the Queen Mother, but they felt that their faces were still bloodless...... "What Song Wan didn't say was that he felt that Xu Pingjun's complexion was getting worse day by day, but the imperial doctor and these people said so, and he didn't have much to do.
There are such discoveries and more than praise, Liu Ill has been getting along with her every day, how can he not know, but he feels that he does not understand medical skills, and there is no second person in the hall to say this, and he also tastes the decoction himself, and there is no problem, thinking that he is too concerned about it, so he will no longer study it carefully, as long as he is by her side, just look at her and smile, and Xu Pingjun's peaceful smile can always bring peace of mind to Liu Ill.
Although Shangguan Youhao wanted to talk to Huo Chengjun, but on the second day, when Song Bang went, the people of Huo Mansion only said that Huo Chengjun had left Huo Mansion, but where he was going was not clear, Song Wan had to tell Shangguan Youhao truthfully, Shangguan Youhao said, "She thinks very thoughtfully, Song Wan, if there are suspicious people in the palace these days, remember to talk to me." ”
Huo Chengjun did leave Huo's Mansion on the day Huo Xian entered the palace, and went to a small Taoist temple in the mountains outside the city, there were very few people from this Taoist temple, Huo Chengjun also knew that there was such a place because Yun Se had brought him here when he was a child, so when Huo Xian asked Huo Chengjun if he wanted to go outside the mansion to relax, although he was puzzled, he came here with a ghost.
The fog on the mountain in winter is thicker, although the mountain is not high, but there are still 800 meters left, when the master and servant several people go to the mountainside, fortunately there is a pavilion to rest, but I am afraid that the rest is long, and I am more reluctant to go up; Second, there is still half the way, the first half of the road has taken nearly half a day, the winter days are short, the sky is dark early, and the night road in the mountains is difficult to walk, so it only takes two teas, and then go forward.
All the way, the scenery on the mountain is different from the mountain, although there is no fragrance of flowers, but you can hear a few melodious birdsong, the mood is also a lot more comfortable, Huo Chengjun touches the leaves on the side of the road from time to time, from time to time he looks up to explore where the bird calls come from, half playing and half walking finally in the sky when the dusk arrives at the mountain Taoist temple, this Taoist temple is still a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, but because it is inhabited, it is different from the place it passes through, the Taoist temple is located in a radius of five miles is already a flat land, there is a small pond next to the Taoist temple fifty meters, the pond is full of clear springs flowing down from the top of the mountain, The water is clear and sweet, and surprisingly, you can still smell the autumn cinnamon.
"At this moment, I understand, why are so many humanistic people willing to hide in the mountains and forests, how can such scenery be visible in the downtown area?" Huo Chengjun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "It's not in vain that we spent this day here." For what he saw in front of him, Huo Chengjun was very satisfied, looking down, no one else was frightened, only feeling infinitely curious, the scenery of this mountain was half bright and half dusk, sweeping away everyone's fatigue, replaced by excitement.
"Miss, you look like this, the slave really doesn't know that this is the second time you've come here." Yunping secretly thought that it was them who should be surprised, but Huo Chengjun's reaction was stronger than any of them.
Yunping's words immediately ushered in a roll of Huo Chengjun's eyes, "When Yun Se brought me here, I was still young, and I just wanted to sleep when I climbed here, how could I take care of these scenery, besides, after all these years, the scenery on the mountain should have changed, right?" ”
"Miss's words are wrong, the scenery on this mountain only changes with the four seasons, and no one deliberately disturbs these creatures." The calm tone resounded in the noisy room, it was so out of place, but like this mountain, it could give people peace.
Huo Chengjun couldn't help but turn his head and look at the place where the voice came from behind, only to see a girl dressed in a Taoist robe, coming slowly, with a kind smile on her face, Huo Chengjun also smiled when he saw the person who came, this person was the person who entertained the two little girls when Huo Chengjun and Yun Se came; Six or seven years, time passed, but I didn't expect her to be still here, and nothing has changed, but her face is calmer, like a pool of clear water beside her, flowing quietly, without wind and waves.
"A few people came all the way, they must be tired, so let's go in and rest tonight." After speaking, people are introduced into the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple is more appropriate than a farmhouse, but there are three more Taoist statues, Huo Chengjun and his party respectfully saluted the incense before going to the guest room in the side hall.
didn't think that Huo Chengjun's stay would be three or five days, Shangguan Youhao had to look forward to her early return, she was afraid that the wind and clouds accumulated in Chang'an City were about to roar, and this time, Shangguan Youhao was even more afraid that it would sweep the two of them.
