Chapter 3: The First Encounter
The night deepened, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and the people who looked at the moon were not interested, "It is more deeply exposed, the king does not hurt the dragon body, and the mourning family will return to Changle Palace first." Shangguan is hazy, seeing his expression, he knows that he has something on his mind, he has only been in the palace for more than a month, and it is normal to not be used to life in the palace, after all, he is a person who is used to freedom outside the palace, and when he first entered the palace, he was also the same, fortunately accompanied by the first emperor.
"What does the Empress Dowager think of General Sima?" Shangguan's faint words of concern narrowed the distance between the two, and there was indeed no one to talk to Liu Yi in this palace, but he asked about the Empress Dowager, who was somewhat similar.
After Shangguan was curious, he put on a habitual smile, "The king will not be ignorant of the relationship between the mourning family and the great Sima, and what the mourning family said is only afraid that it will be unfair." ”
"The Empress Dowager only needs to speak, and I only need to listen, whether it is fair or not is another matter." Liu Yi also hooked his lips and smiled, but everyone could see that the smile was not enough.
Since he said this, Shangguan Youhao no longer shirked, and she who had lived in the palace for a long time since she was a child, she could also guess a little why Liu Ai had asked this, "Da Sima is loyal to the imperial court, but he is a little more serious and does not smile." ”
Liu Yi had already heard the words and nodded, and the other party's meaning was well understood, "It's late at night, and the Empress Dowager should rest early." After saying that, he smiled politely, turned around, and went back to the palace.
At the end of the night, Xu Pingjun handed over the baby in swaddling clothes to his mother, carried his bags, and wanted to find his husband within the imperial wall.
A woman, walking slowly with small feet, how can she walk fast, on the day of the full moon, Xu Pingjun is still on the road, so she has to think about the moon; And inside the imperial wall is a different scene, it seems that when the family is celebrating this reunion, it also seems that the homesick and lonely people are becoming more and more lonely.
The cold wine touched his lips, but what Liu Ill had already remembered was last year, although he was not rich, he could reunite with his wife, at that time, they were newly married; Today, but each is at the end of the world, how to suffer the pain of lovesickness, Liu Yi has already made a decision in his heart, however, the current situation in the DPRK and China, not everything can be decided by himself, in the final analysis, his power is limited after all, and the power is still in the hands of the great Sima general Huo Guang.
Liu's sorrow is just the pain of separation, but Shangguan is hazy but the pain of death that can not be seen again in this life.
Shangguan's hazy abnormality can't escape the eyes of Huo Guang, who was also at the table, but it's just not easy to come forward to stop it. In other words, Huo Guang was also helpless in this regard, when he sent the six-year-old Shangguan Yu into the palace, he was against it, but Shangguan An and Shangguan Ji sent her into the palace wholeheartedly, and now they are in the prime of life, but they have been widowed and become the queen mother, how can they be lonely in the deep palace.
Xi Sanren left, but Huo Guang rarely coexisted with Shangguan in private, "The minister asked the little girl to enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants?" When he saw Shangguan's lonely and gloomy state, Huo Guang had quietly ordered someone to take his daughter outside the palace, and he could enter the palace just by waiting for the summons.
For Shangguan Youhao, the granddaughter, Huo Guang is somewhat indebted, after all, the death of her father's family is inseparable from herself, and she has not been able to take more care of her over the years, if it is a woman next to her, her husband can still remarry, but she can't, the supreme among this woman is also destined to carry a burden that is different from ordinary people.
"My grandfather has a heart." Back then, Shangguan Youhao was still young, and it was impossible to judge right and wrong, but for so many years, although the two ancestors and grandchildren did not meet often, Shangguan Youhao also knew that if it weren't for Huo Guang's presence, how could she, a powerless and powerless person, sit firmly in the position of the queen, not to mention that she is now the empress dowager.
Huo Chengjun entered the palace at this time, obviously a little more cautious, it was really Yunping's open-mouthed mouth that scared her, so this time, Huo Chengjun only entered the palace alone.
"Chengjun, what's the matter, so restrained?" No matter how sensible Huo Chengjun is, he is only a fourteen-year-old woman, how can he hide his thoughts from Shangguan who has lived in the palace for a long time.
"It's nothing, it's just that the people in the palace are different now, and Cheng Jun doesn't dare to be presumptuous." After the last incident, Huo Chengjun was afraid that he would be recognized by Liu Yi, so he didn't dare to take a step out of Changle Palace at will, and he was more careful in what he said and did, and he was a lot less reckless.
"Yes, it's just that I'm afraid that I'll be bored if I live in Changle Palace for a long time, so it's better to go out with me to relax." Shangguan Youhao said as he took Huo Chengjun's hand and walked out of the palace.
Soon after ascending the throne, the power was not stable, and there were few credible people, but Liu Ying already believed that Bing Ji, who saved himself when he was young but did not take credit, summoned him, "I was able to ascend the throne, and General Sima was indispensable, but I don't know how to thank him, what does Shaoqing think?" ”
Bing Ji has been in the dynasty for many years, and Liu Ai has guessed a few points, Huo Guang's power is too great, how can the new emperor who succeeded Fang not have any scruples, frowned and smiled: "If the emperor is here in person, it will be a great honor." "Huo Guang is already a very popular minister, and there is no seal, and the emperor personally came to the door, which is a great favor for him, presumably Huo Guang can also know the meaning.
Xu Pingjun wants to enter the palace to find people, but she thinks about this palace too simply, don't say that the person who thinks about it, even the palace gate can not enter, Xu is the arrangement of fate, just when Xu Pingjun is stuck, a beautiful carriage appeared in front of him, before thinking much, she wanted to stop the carriage and horses, at a glance, she knew that the identity of the people in the car is different, if it is introduced, there is no need to look at it, so he was bold and blocked the way of the carriage.
Fortunately, the coachman's skillful horse riding skills, otherwise he was afraid that Xu Pingjun would not have seen Liu Ai, so he would have left only a corpse that had been trampled by the horse, and Xu Pingjun was also very happy in his heart; The carriage came to a sudden stop, shaking the carriage and alarming the people inside.
"What happened?" A gentle female voice came from inside the car, and there was no lack of trembling sounds in fright.
Seeing this, the coachman and the palace gate guard immediately went to the front of the carriage, "Miss forgive her sins, she is a crazy woman, and she blocked her way, and the slave drove her away." For fear that the people in the car would be angry, the spearhead was pointed at Xu Pingjun.
When the people in the car heard this, they poked their heads out of the car, Huo Chengjun half-hid his face with a light veil, and looked at the woman standing on the opposite side of the carriage, it seemed that she was also greatly frightened. Fang was so thrilling that no one could recover from the panic for a while.
"Madam, are you hurt?" Although the age of the woman in front of her is not much different from herself, her dress and hair bun are clearly married people, and when she hears the crazy woman in the mouth of the guard, she inevitably feels pity.
When Xu Pingjun reacted, he found that although the woman was dressed beautifully and simply, she was dressed in a silk and noble, and when she saw the awe-inspiring guard, she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her, and she also knew that this person was not an ordinary woman, she must be the daughter of a nobleman, "I was not hurt, but I disturbed Miss, and I asked Miss Haihan." Xu Pingjun blessed his body and apologized.
"It's okay, why is Madame here?"
