Chapter 530: Waiting for the Delicate Flower
On the second day of the first month of March, I really couldn't bear Li Chun's withering before marriage. Distressed, pity and guilt attacked, the emperor held a dinner party for Li Chun.
The invitees are all VIPs who will attend the wedding tomorrow, especially the young son. In addition, a few direct and bold martial artists were invited to liven up the atmosphere.
Li Chun's seat was arranged under the emperor's hands.
The emperor touched several glasses with him in a row, and he wanted to say something but stopped every time he wanted to speak.
"I still have some official business after drinking this cup. There are a few things at this feast that you can talk about in the past, so drink a few more glasses. Have fun. Talk, drink, or have fun by yourself, and you don't have to be inhibited. If you need anything, greet and command it yourself. I went to the Imperial Study. After your side is gone, you go to find me. ”
Li Chun responded.
Before leaving, the emperor raised his hand to signal to Li Chun to the dancing girls, and whispered:
"If there is anyone who is eye-catching and interested in training tonight, you can go and say hello to Zhao Gonggong outside, and take the person away directly."
Training?
As soon as Li Chungang reacted, the emperor had patted him on the shoulder, and left directly without waiting for him to refuse......
As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
As soon as the door is closed, it is even more unscrupulous.
After three rounds of drinking, there are a lot more words one by one.
A group of guys, I don't know whether it was because of the excitement for Li Chun's wedding, or the catalyst of the wine and beauty, the topic gradually began to deviate.
first talked about the hole room from Li Chun's wedding tomorrow, and then talked about the candles in the cave room, and then gradually began to talk about the women, the bed sheets, and the battle results......
Li Chun soon realized that some people in this banquet should have been instructed by the emperor. It's no wonder that there are a few gentlemen mixed in this pile, and this is a different way to give yourself instructions.
It turned out to be not just a feast, but also a hidden lesson.
Seeing that they all taught selflessly through the strength of wine, and taught their respective skills and experience in heroic combat, Li Chun still worked hard to absorb the insights of his predecessors.
After all, you don't have a lot of skills, do you? ……
After a few rounds of drinking, the people who drank a lot began to exaggerate and brag nonsense.
Li Chun became more and more sober.
Excited.
He was counting down, and in a few hours, someone would walk with him, and he would no longer be alone. He finally has a family, people and things to protect.
Of course, the meat that I've been thinking about for too long can finally move, and it's exciting to think about it.
With a goal on the road ahead and a rush in life, he couldn't hold back his heart for a long time.
He got up and retreated first.
He went to the imperial study.
When he arrived, the emperor was rubbing the pot of bamboo leaf orchid that he had carefully maintained. The emperor was the only one in the imperial study, and even Father-in-law Yu was sent out by him.
Li Chun's eyes narrowed slightly.
This pot of bamboo leaf orchid was raised by the emperor and his mother in the early years. How many times has life changed, let alone flowers? For more than 20 years, this flower is naturally not the first few plants, but it is the emperor himself from the side buds and top buds of those branches, and they have survived to this day......
He even preserves the flowers and waters them every day.
Many times, Li Chun looks at his cherished appearance and feels that he is a very affectionate person. But every time I see him treating the people around him coldly, I feel that it is all an illusion......
"The beloved things that are carefully maintained are finally going to spread out and bear fruit, which is the greatest satisfaction of the conservators. When I go down to see her, I will not be ashamed. He spoke quietly, and his words were filled with joy.
The emperor turned around and faced Li Chun.
"Congratulations. I'm very pleased. I've been worried about your marriage for many years, and I can finally rest assured. You know, I want you to be happy. I really feel sorry for you, I like you, you are my most beloved ......"
The emperor's voice trembled slightly, but Li Chun couldn't help but interrupt.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor let out a sigh, but it calmed down instantly.
"Why did you come so soon?"
"I'm looking for you for a drink."
"Hmm."
"Life is just a few important things. You and I should indeed have a few drinks separately. ”
The two sat down facing each other.
Li Chun full cup.
"Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. ”
"No thanks."
The emperor was stunned. "It's me...... No, it's me, I want to thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make amends. I ask you, are you happy? ”
"Happy."
"That's good. I owe you so much. When I was younger, I promised her a big wedding, but I didn't. I promised to get along with her, but I didn't do it. Later, I couldn't even hold on to her people. Your mother is the biggest regret of my life.
I feel just as guilty about you. I can raise you, guard you, protect you, and help you, but I can't recognize you. I never dared to get to the bottom of you, because I was afraid that the result of my investigation would be that you resented me and hated me. Especially, often when I show favor to you and want to give you something, you will refuse, which makes me always feel that I have no place to use my strength, which makes me feel more distressed and guilty, and I feel more sorry for your mother.
So when you took the initiative to bring up this and that, although I knew you were taking advantage of my guilt, I was also very happy. Very pleased. Finally there's something I can do for you. You've finally asked me for something. So I thank you for giving me the opportunity to make amends. I'd love to. ”
The emperor poured Li Chun full of wine with his own hands, and did it first as a respect.
"Also, I want to thank you. Thank you for all these years of doing for me without complaint. One thing, I must admit. It's cold in the high places, but fortunately, with you, I can trust, so that I am not so lonely, so that I can occasionally say something from my heart like this moment...... I respect you. ”
The Emperor toasted again.
He drank too much.
But very sober.
The emperor had already prepared, and he took out a holy decree and pushed it to Li Chun.
But it was an empty decree.
"I've been wondering what to give you a big wedding gift. Silver ticket? Treasure? It's all too cheesy. These things, as long as you follow me, will be there. It doesn't make sense to you at all.
After getting married, you are really an adult. In the future, your burden will become bigger and bigger, and I want to give you some protection. Just like the princes, they all want me to give them the title of king and become the prince, at least to ensure that they and their heirs will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.
I really want to be fair, I really want to give you the title of king, the title of prince, let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and let your heirs return to the royal family. Even if it's a king with a different surname. I want to protect your vein, protect your mother's bloodline. To ensure that you can be respected for generations to come, and you will have no worries about food and clothing.
But at the moment, it is a little difficult, after all, the king with a different surname in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty ......"
"I understand. You don't need to. ”
Li Chun was a little speechless.
He knew very well that the emperor was just saying good things. He has military power in his hands, he is in charge of his personal guards, he is no worse than other princes, if he really enjoys the throne, then it is the emperor himself who is restless day and night. No amount of trust can resist the emperor's own suspicions.
He wasn't even sure if the emperor was tempting.
But he knew that if he dared to respond, then it would not be far from the emperor and the princes to clean him up. He is not afraid, but what he wants.
So, there's no need!
Li Chun is self-aware.
And he also saw the emperor's intentions.
This is not only to sell him a favor, but also to guard against him, in addition to carefully beating him. The emperor was probably afraid that after he got married, his center of gravity would shift, and he was afraid that he would not be so relieved and use it as he pleased.
So, probably there is a layer of meaning to tie him up.
"Don't worry, I'm not done. I'm going to give you a knighthood. Hereditary replacement. ”
The emperor saw Li Chun's expression slightly gloomy.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this son is the smartest, he saw through his thoughts, and I hope he also understands his sincerity.
"Don't look like that, I'm telling the truth! My greatest consideration is to protect you. Title, you can think about it, whether it is a duke or a wait. As long as Da Zhou does not fall, you can keep your vein safe and rich. What do you think? Of course, there is still an opportunity missing at the moment, but it is not difficult. I can give you a plan and give you a meritorious service.
After you have decided, come to me with this decree, and I will arrange for you to go to the southwest again. When you return, I will give you a knighthood. ”
There was no fighting in the Southwest. But the whole world is not the king's land, there is no war, and it can create war. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, the distance can make the story fly, the incitement can make the story exciting, and the long crowd can beautify his exploits......
But what Li Chun wanted was not so complicated.
The emperor never understood him.
The reason why he did things for the emperor was just to repay his kindness and repay his nurturing kindness. One day, he will leave......
But Li Chun couldn't say what he wanted.
Still can't.
If he dares to say that he will go to Jingxi in the future, he will become the head of the Cheng family, and he will take his family to live a good life, then it will undoubtedly become a betrayal for the emperor.
The emperor will never tolerate and tolerate it, and she and the Cheng family, as the culprits, are bound to suffer the heaviest revenge...... Then the ending will probably be the same as her previous life......
Li Chun pondered and spoke slowly.
He pointed to the bamboo leaf orchid.
"The reason why it survived was not because it was strong, but because of you. You gave it shelter and gave it food. Do you think that if you put a scaffold on it and put enough nutrients on it, it will be able to continue to grow without worry? No, without you, when the storm comes, no matter how much support you have given it, it will not withstand.
Not to mention reproduction, let alone branching and flowering and fruiting, it can't even survive! You like Zhu Ye Lan, you have feelings for Zhu Ye Lan, but what about the next owner here?
The answer must be no! Because it's not that it's not tough enough, it's not that it's unlikable, it's that the next owner here won't allow it to occupy the magpie's nest! ”
Li Chun watched as the emperor's complexion gradually changed.
"What's more, this flower has occupied your favor for too long, and it has long been eyed and hated. Do you think that this flower will have good results without you? ”
The emperor sighed faintly, what Li Chun said made sense.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say, a gentleman and a courtier. At this time, I have your trust, your favor, and military power in my hands, so everyone will come to praise me, praise me, compliment me, and win me over. But I have offended too many people, and once I don't have your protection in the future, no matter what title you give my prince a different surname or a title, you won't be able to keep me. ”
Li Chun looked at the emperor with a serious face.
"Actually, you get the idea. There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add, and that I am close to you, which in itself is a 'sin'. My mother's Changle Houjia is a nobleman, right? Isn't it the same? Say no, it's gone. With my mother's experience, do I still care about the title? ”
Li Chun pushed the holy decree directly back to the emperor.
The emperor was stung.
Li Chun has pinched him, isn't the matter of Changle Houjia the culprit of the tragic ending of him and her?
"What do you want? I know you have an idea, you name it. ”
"Since your greatest wish is for me to continue safely, the greatest consideration is to protect me. Then you will definitely say yes to what I want. Because I have only one thing: to live. I and the people around me can live well. ”
Li Chun added: "I must not follow in my mother's footsteps." ”
He turned his head to look at the bamboo leaf orchid, and the best way to want that flower and plant to flourish forever was:
Before the next owner wants to occupy this imperial study, he must promise to keep the flower. And when the next emperor has not yet been confirmed, there is only one way. ……
He looked at the Emperor fixedly.
The gift of the big wedding, he just needs this, a talisman.
He knew he would be able to find ......
Cheng Ziyu, who was on the second day of the first month of March, was much busier than Li Chun.
She went to the Queen Mother early in the morning to kowtow.
Li Chun was also there at that time, because according to the rules, the two could not meet before marriage, so a large group of people protected her and Li Chun and staggered and went around in a big circle.
The concubines saw that she was very enthusiastic, and since they couldn't attend the banquet, they all gave gifts in advance. Especially the concubines who were promoted by the Queen Mother and Shi and Tian, who were half of her fellow villagers, were both generous.
Wang Yue had a big belly, and he made a special trip to send a gift.
Cheng Ziyu hadn't seen Wang Yue for a long time, and although her spirit was a little better at the moment, her complexion was still bad.
The imperial doctor who came to Cheng Ziyu to ask for a safe pulse took Wang Yue's pulse by the way, and only told her to be careful in everything, if she was a little uncomfortable, she would be declared an imperial doctor immediately......
Wang Yue only symbolically stayed for a while and left.
After she left, the imperial doctor bluntly said that this birth is still not optimistic......
The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"That's it! The fourth child wants to do it himself, who can force it. This Wang Yue depends on her own life. ”
On the other hand, the imperial doctor was quite satisfied with Cheng Ziyu's recuperation.
Said that the tonic can be stopped for a while.
The imperial doctor suggested that you can wait a little longer for the matter of conception. In another year and a half, production will be smoother.
The Queen Mother nodded in response.
"Indeed, you are young, and you are not in a hurry to get pregnant. It is also good for the relationship for you two to have a leisurely life for a while. ”
Cheng Ziyu blushed, but the Queen Mother didn't treat her as an outsider, and asked her to be interviewed for a wedding dress.
The phoenix crown and the curtain were all prepared by the Queen Mother.
This has been changed three times.
With only a middle coat, she couldn't help the Queen Mother looking up and down, and the red glow burned noodles.
"Yes, it works. The mourning family gave you a few months of supplementation, and it was not in vain. ”
I didn't think that after the weather warmed up at this time, the effect was immediate.
"Look, the mourning family is worthy of Li Chun."
The posture of the person in the bronze mirror is excellent, and the posture is even more plump, if it is said that during the southern tour, she is only the posture of the girl in the flower season, at this moment, it is a delicate flower waiting to be picked with buds......
