Chapter 2: Encounters

Liu Ai has ascended the throne not long ago, coinciding with the birthday of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, she wants to celebrate vigorously, and the celebration is indispensable for hundreds of officials to congratulate, singing and dancing feasts, and the ladies of the various mansions also take this opportunity to make friends with the Empress Dowager, and this is naturally indispensable to the people of the Huo Mansion, in other words, the Empress Dowager is still Huo Guang's own granddaughter.

"The courtiers have seen the Queen Mother", Tsing Yi Lotus Edge, squatting in luggage, swaying gently, when she looked up, she smiled clearly.

Red robe, hair in a bun, similar age, on both sides of the situation, between the clouds and the wind, her face has already had a maturity that is not the same as her age, she entered the palace at the age of six, her father was killed at the age of eight, her husband died at the age of fifteen, and she became the queen mother at a young age.

"Hurry up, it's just in front of people, it's just you and me, why do you have to restrain these?" As he spoke, he got up and went down to help him.

"Is the new emperor embarrassed for you?" took the hand of the Empress Dowager, looked at her who had lost a lot of weight, and couldn't bear it, "It's hazy, Emperor Zhao has gone, you should always look forward." "Youhao is the name of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and now she is the only one who will call her so.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan sighed lightly, "I have no grievances with the new emperor, how can he embarrass me, Chengjun, you can rest assured." ”

Huo Chengjun, Huo Guang**, according to her generation, she should be Shangguan Youhao's aunt, but in her age, Shangguan Youhao is one year older than Huo Chengjun. Because when Shangguan Yu entered the palace, he was still young, his father was dead, and when he was most lonely and afraid, Huo Guang sent Huo Chengjun, who was of a similar age, into the palace and accompanied Shangguan You, so the two were more intimate than others.

On the day of the big birthday, the flow of people continued, and the time when the two were alone was limited, and with the entry of the ladies of the various mansions, Shangguan Youhao also had to put on the posture of the empress dowager, and mediated with everyone, Huo Chengjun was also bored, and after saying hello to Shangguan Youhao, he found a reason to leave.

Although it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, it is also a good time to deal with the new emperor, Liu Ai has been entangled in various banquets in the past few days, and he is not used to this kind of entertainment, so it is rare for him to take a break and take a breath. When you are alone, you will always think of the person you miss, even if there are many people around you, when you first come to the palace, you will be lonely without the company of people you know.

And Du County is also at a loss because of Liu's succession, this person is still in the folk Xu Pingjun, the child is still in infancy, less than 100 days, and the husband has become the king of God overnight, such a sudden change, I don't know whether to be happy or worried. Although he has never entered the royal family, he has also heard some things about the harem, which are far away, and the monarch is unpredictable.

The flowers are in full bloom, the garden is full of flowers, and there is a lonely person, Liu Yi can't help but climb a flower branch, put away the smile in front of the person, and turn a deaf ear to the eunuch who is looking for, but unfortunately the eunuch is getting closer and closer, Liu Yi has a little irritability on his face, and it is rare to find a clean and no one in this palace, but it has to be broken.

"Father-in-law Miao, where are you going?" Yunping looked at the father-in-law with an anxious face and greeted him, this father-in-law Miao was the person who served beside Emperor Zhao before, and Yunping, who often entered the palace with the young lady, knew it, and now Liu Yi has succeeded to the throne, and he is still in charge of the eunuch Gong'e in this palace, serving the emperor's life.

"I'm looking for Your Majesty, have you seen it?"

"The slave maid has come here with the young lady, and on such a lively day, there is no second person in this garden." In fact, Huo Chengjun deliberately chose such a slightly remote place, and when she accompanied Shangguan Youhao, she was also familiar with this palace.

"That's it, so I'll look elsewhere, there are a lot of people today, you and Miss don't go around, today is not the same as in the past." Gonggong Liao kindly reminded that after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Emperor Zhao will not pursue the matter, it does not mean that the new emperor will not pursue it, if he accidentally collides with someone, who knows what the consequences will be.

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, the cloud screen has written it down."

The appearance of the cloud screen has solved a big trouble for Liu Ai, who is still in the flowers, and he can hear the conversation between the two and know that Father-in-law Liao has left, which is a lot more comfortable.

After Father-in-law Liao left, Yunping went to find her own young lady, but with sharp eyes, she saw a figure among the flowers, "Who is so bold to eavesdrop on this girl's speech?" ”

Yunping's words did not let Liu Yi appear, but attracted Huo Chengjun, who was resting in the pavilion, "The palace is not as good as the mansion, Hugh has to shout indiscriminately, besides, this place is not privately owned, there are people here, why is it surprising?" "For Yunping's boldness, Huo Chengjun has taught himself a lesson, and it is precisely because Huo Mansion is in power that he must act carefully.

"No", Huo Chengjun's lesson, Yunping listened to it, but he was still unwilling in his heart, "Miss, a bright and upright person should not hide in the dark." Yun Ping didn't want to let go of the person who was being trained, not to mention that she was sure that there must be someone around, and he hadn't left yet, so she had to find out this person today.

Huo Chengjun shook his head, "My maidservant has a lot of offends, please respect Haihan." That person didn't know what his identity was, Yun Ping was angry again and again, Huo Chengjun had to lower his posture, but while speaking, she had also found the person in front of him, Yun Ping said this, how could she feel at ease if she didn't find out the identity of that person.

When she saw the person under the flower, Huo Chengjun regretted it, she often went in and out of the palace when she was a child, she naturally recognized this outfit, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, so frightened that Yunping, who was still arrogant, knelt on the ground, and did not dare to raise her head.

Liu Yi had seen this, he felt bored, and he didn't look at the people on the ground, so he just said "no courtesy" and left; After thanking the master and servant of the Huo family, he also walked to another place.

There are two people in a bright moon, and the longer the time passes, the more uneasy Xu Pingjun's heart is, and when he is at a loss, his mother happens to push the door in.

"Since he didn't come, why didn't you go looking for him, when you become the emperor, you can abandon your wife, all these years, our family has raised him for nothing?" Mrs. Xu did not agree to the marriage of Liu Ying and Xu Pingjun at the time, but Xu Guanghan had already agreed, and because the person Xu Pingjun promised at that time was dead, she reluctantly agreed. Now, Liu Yi is already the emperor, and his daughter is the queen.

"Mother, I rushed to go, but I was afraid that I would cause trouble to my illness." The door is different, now he is above 10,000 people, he is just a poor person, I am afraid that he will break his heart if he goes.

"Silly daughter, if you don't go, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it." In the eyes of Mrs. Xu, it is natural for Xu Pingjun to enter the palace, wealth is in front of him, how can he stop there.

"This ......" Xu Pingjun hesitated, but after looking at the infant child, he had the courage, this child could not be young and fatherless, so he packed his bags overnight and wanted to go to the palace to find a husband.

In the imperial wall, after the departure of the hundred officials, Liu Yi finally gained a short period of tranquility, looking at the moon that is gradually perfecting, seeing that August 15 is coming, it should be reunited, but his wife and children are not around, and the moon is more and more homesick.

"Who is your lord thinking?"

"The Empress Dowager", Liu Yi had already turned around and saw the person who came, and saluted respectfully, but he did not answer her question.

Shangguan Youhao was not annoyed, this was the first time the two of them spoke in private, and some precautions should be taken, if he didn't feel that his lonely figure was a little similar to himself, he wouldn't ask each other abruptly, so the two of them only looked at the moon without saying a word, and kept each other's hearts.
