Chapter Forty-Eight: But it was already clear at the time
In August, the fragrance of cinnamon is overflowing, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Han Palace is full of joy, running back and forth, there are occasionally a few faces, and you will occasionally see a group of family members who have never met before.
On the platform, he looked down at the beautiful woman who passed under the eye, "Qin Tianjian said, the fifteenth day of the new year is a good day, and the first day of the new year is still in the past, and the concubine is set at the fifteenth, you really don't have to talk to Your Majesty, how many days will it be postponed?" Shangguan turned his head and looked at Huo Chengjun, who was still looking down, but there was no one.
"Since it's a good day, why delay any longer, this day will come sooner or later, Your Majesty also said, no matter how many people there are in the harem, he only spoils me alone, why care about this day?" Looking at the two figures sprinkled by the sun that was no longer hot, Huo Chengjun's face was a little softer.
"Do you really don't care, or do you pretend to be generous, Chengjun, if you are sick, do you think it is credible?" From the words of Liu Yi after Liu Yi had returned from Guangchuan, Shangguan Youhao only felt that Liu Yi was no longer as good as they saw on the surface, and how did the sentence "only one person favor" sound like it was coaxing people, it was difficult for ordinary princes and nobles to have only one person, and the harem was all beautiful emperors.
"It matters whether you believe it or not, he has said it." Huo Chengjun didn't know whether to believe Liu Ai or not, but she understood that no matter whether this was true or not, Liu Ai could not be alone forever, but she just hoped that no matter how many people there were, she would still have another place to settle in his heart, so she knew enough.
"Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun can also be regarded as vigorous, and Sima Xiangru still needs Zhuo Wenjun to write a letter to tell him, Chengjun, for the illness, I just want to say, don't throw a piece of your heart to him, I'm afraid that one day, it will be difficult to take it back." Huo Chengjun is not Xu Pingjun, and Shangguan Youhao also knows how much Liu Ying was unwilling at that time, but now such a favor makes Shangguan Youhao happy, but also with a little concern.
Huo Chengjun looked at Shangguan Youhao and smiled indifferently, "Youhao, you knew that my heart could not be recovered, maybe I shouldn't have met him in the first place, and I wouldn't have given birth to these difficulties, I entered the palace for the Huo family, in order to atone for my mother's sins, but so far I know that in fact, I was more concerned about Liu's illness at the beginning." Huo Chengjun had a faint doubt in his eyes that he had never had.
Looking at the sunset that gradually dyed the sky yellow, Huo Chengjun and Shangguan Youhao didn't say anything anymore, just held on to the railing with both hands, looked up into the distance, and seemed to be looking at the unpredictable future.
The sunset shrouded the two demure women, from the glow to the dusk gradually faded back to the original color of the sky, and then slowly returned to the silent night, they lifted the lotus step and went down the tower.
Guizi can not bear the breeze blowing, a burst of evening fragrance shakes off, but someone holds a small bamboo tube under the tree, squatting under the tree, putting the bamboo tube in his hand aside, picking up a handful of golden flowers, all poured into one hand, and the empty right hand, gently brushing off a few traces of soil, after converting two or three times, the flower is poured into the bamboo tube, and the previous action of the cycle is repeated, and each step is so soft and delicate.
"What's the use of you picking up these fallen flowers?" The dark robe, the five-clawed dragon pattern, Liu Yi has already stood with his hands in his hands, looking at this strange woman, the first time in the palace to see such a careful person who treats Luohua, the smile on her face is like a spring breeze, which is refreshing.
"Ah Jun has seen Your Majesty!" Following the sound, the person who called Ah Jun also recognized Liu Ai's identity, and in a panic, he knocked over the bamboo tube on the side, and a small part of the flowers in the bamboo tube had been scattered outside, and he frowned and glanced at it, with a little pity.
"A-kun?" When Liu Yi heard her name, he had forgotten to observe her series of small movements, but he remembered that many years ago, the person who was once called "Ah Jun", the girl who loved to cry, once thought that Xu Pingjun was that person, but before Xu Pingjun died, he still told himself the truth, Liu Yi had thought that he might not be able to see the person at that time in this life, but he didn't expect that there was a person named Ah Jun in front of him at this time, and he didn't know what he was tripping over, so he bent down and helped up the bamboo tube at her feet for her, "Put it away, It's my recklessness that scares you. ”
He took the bamboo tube from Liu Yiji's hand with both hands, and clearly listened to him say to himself: "Which palace are you from, I have an old man named Ah Jun, but there is a fate." She had long heard of His Majesty's kindness, and thought it was just a rumor from outside, but when she saw it today, she knew that this young Majesty was more generous than the rumors.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Liu Yi only said that he was scaring her, squinted and smiled, and then turned around and left, if there is fate, people can naturally meet again in the palace.
Looking at His Majesty's distant figure, he tightened the bamboo tube in his hand, lowered his head and smelled the faint fragrance of the osmanthus in the bamboo tube, as if it was more refreshing than before, grinning and smiling, but muttering in his mouth, "Ah Jun, the old man...... The old man, Your Majesty ...... smiled brighter, hugged the bamboo tube in his hand, turned to leave, but he could also see that instead of being frightened, he added a cheerful step.
Because of the familiar and long-unheard "Ah Jun", Liu Yi was obviously a little excited, and when he arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, he was out of his mind for a while, and it wasn't until Huo Chengjun's hand shook in front of him that he came back to his senses, "Chengjun, what's the matter?" ”
"It should be me to ask Your Majesty what is so distracted, Cheng Jun has shouted several times, Your Majesty has not responded to a word, recently the family entered the palace, I took a look, although all of them are good, but there are really a few beautiful and beautiful, quite able to impress the heart of the king, Your Majesty should not have met which one, the heart has already flown over!" Huo Chengjun was just joking, but he didn't want Liu Yi to be serious.
"There is a family named Ah Jun among those family members, just now I met a girl who called herself Ah Jun, I have never seen it in the palace, I thought it was a maid in the palace, but now I want to come to that dress but it doesn't look like a palace maid, maybe it's the new family member who entered the palace." Liu Yi seemed to have found a clue, but when he looked at Huo Chengjun's eyes, he had a few more words of explanation, "Before Pingjun passed away, she said that she was not from the past, and today this girl and the person I met at that time are all called Ajun, and I only know that one when I am young." In fact, Liu Yi remembered far more than he imagined, but he was confused at the time.
"If it weren't for the people of the past, Your Majesty would have been disappointed; If that person is not as good as when His Majesty met him, will His Majesty be troubled? Huo Chengjun collected the look of surprise in her pupils, and looked at Liu Ai with a serious expression, looking forward to the answer in his mouth, because she only hoped that Liu Ai could be well, as for the rest, just give up.
"Yes, why didn't I think that there are so many people in the world who can be called Ajun, and how could it be so coincidental that I met the person who happened to be back then, if it was fate, I should have seen it a long time ago." Liu Yi didn't say the word disappointed in his mouth, but his expression was stunned.
Huo Chengjun didn't miss a single penny, "Your Majesty is the true son of the dragon, what Your Majesty wants, God will give it to Your Majesty, maybe it's such a coincidence, this fate, it must be a coincidence, there are so many family members who have entered the palace, Your Majesty met her, this is a good sign." Huo Chengjun saw the expectation in Liu Ai's eyes, and his heart trembled obviously, but he couldn't let Liu Ai find out, just pretended to be nothing.
The autumn rain continued without warning, Huo Chengjun in Changle Palace, he didn't bring an umbrella when he came, and there was no urgency in Jiaofang Palace, so he simply stayed in Changle Palace for a while, but Shangguan Youhao grabbed a roster at this time and handed it to Huo Chengjun, "Chengjun, look at this, I have ordered people to check these individuals in the past few days, and this booklet has been written in great detail. ”
The choice of concubines is not only based on the emperor's preferences, but also the connection between the families, after all, once they become the people in the emperor's harem, the mother's family will become relatives, if that person is favored, the situation of the previous dynasty may also change due to the favor of the harem, therefore, for the matter of choosing a concubine, even if there is no special instruction from Huo Xian, Shangguan Youhao will also be well chosen, people can't be so selfless, at least Shangguan Youhao can't do it, now she actually relies on the power of the Huo family a little bit, and once the future nobles have a holiday with the Huo family, that Shangguan Youhao, the status of the Empress Dowager, is just a fictitious illusion, after having experienced so many changes, Shangguan Youhao will definitely not take this risk.
"You are also worried about this matter, when my mother entered the palace yesterday, she also mentioned this matter, saying that it was for me to check the background of the family members who entered the palace, but today, you have prepared this thing, but it saves me a lot of trouble." Huo Chengjun said, and looked at the people in the roster carefully one by one, things related to the family, Huo Chengjun is naturally also concerned, the people in the harem are not like this, although it is not good to say what will happen in the future, but when choosing people, he always wants to be closer to himself and his own family.
Listening to Huo Chengjun's joke, Shangguan Youhao couldn't help but laugh and said: "After saving you so many things, do you still have to complain about me?" You, take a good look, who is good friends with the Huo family, you should always know better than me? ”
Huo Chengjun raised his head, "In my opinion, the family that is very close to the Huo family has no women coming, and the women of the people who have bad friends with the Huo family are not on this list. "I have a good relationship with the Huo family, and I also know that Huo Guang's beloved daughter has entered the palace, is it difficult to let my own woman enter the palace to compete with Huo Chengjun for favor, isn't this clear that he is against Huo Guang, and he is not concerned about the matter of choosing a concubine, and he has never been good with the Huo family, as early as when he chose a good person to enter the palace, he was eliminated, and the rest are not some unfamiliar people.
"If that's the case, it's really in vain for all my efforts, and I'll make a decision when I see those people on August 15." The family background is not bad, you can only choose from the face, and pick a few that are pleasing to the eye.
And when Shangguan Youhao was about to put away the roster in Huo Chengjun's hand, Huo Chengjun's finger suddenly fell on a name......
