Chapter 152: Chestnut in the Fire (2)
led Liu Liangmu, the deacon of the Feng Mansion dining room, into the house, and Cheng Liang went outside the door to whistle the two of them.
Liu Liangmu knelt on the ground and bowed to the crown prince.
Yuan Sui didn't signal Liu Liangmu to get up, but said lightly: "You want to see me, what are you doing?" ”
Although he heard the prince's inquiry, Liu Liangmu still didn't dare to raise his head and reply, but only bowed his head and said: "The prince is benevolent, sympathetic to the people, and the slave bows to thank the prince for his reward!" ”
Because Cheng Liangyan said that Liu Liangmu was the deceased of Hou He Zhengming in Guanzhong, Yuan Sui knew that He Zhengming was imprisoned in the stone room because he was imprisoned, so he announced that this Liu Liangmu entered the internal audience. At this time, seeing that Liu Liangmu answered the question, Yuan Sui said impatiently: "I can't listen to your flattering words, if you have nothing to do, return to peace quickly." ”
Liu Liangmu kowtowed again when he heard this, but still bowed his head and said: "Prince, Liao Ji's parents asked the prince and Liao Ji'an on their behalf!" ”
Liao Ji in Liu Liangmu's mouth is the Xianbei dancing girl who was favored by Yuan Sui in the old years, and the dancing girl had been sentenced by the emperor to be beheaded, but she was grounded in the prince's mansion because she was pregnant.
However, few people knew about this matter, and at this time, when he heard Liu Liangmu's words and Liao Ji's parents, Yuan Sui was suddenly stunned in his heart. In the end, he was young, and after a pause with a flick of his fingers, Yuan Sui asked, "How do you know Liao Ji?" And how do you know their parents? ”
Liu Liangmu raised his head at this time and replied: "Back to the prince, the slave and Liao Ji's parents don't know each other, but the slave knows that An Lehou often takes care of Liao Ji's parents, and Liao Ji's parents' words of greeting are also An Lehou's slave to convey to the prince. ”
Yuan Suihu said suspiciously: "An Lehou? Why is he like this? ”
Liu Liangmu said: "An Lehou respects the prince, and knows that the prince and Liao Ji are in love, but he was thrown away by His Majesty... An Lehou knows that the prince is generous and benevolent, and now Liao Ji is imprisoned by His Majesty, An Lehou will give the land gold and silver to Liao Ji's family on behalf of the prince, and he has done his best to serve the courtiers. ”
Yuan Sui is young and affectionate, and he also has some affection for that Liao Ji, and this woman is pregnant with her own heir and is trapped by her father, so she can't help but feel ashamed of her. At this time, knowing that Yuan Long took care of Liao Ji's family like this, Yuan Sui said emotionally for a while: "I didn't know that An Lehou was so affectionate and righteous, and respected me so much. ”
After speaking, Yuan Sui motioned for Liu Liangmu to get up, and then said: "Since An Lehou knows that I have come to Pingcheng, why shouldn't he tell me about it, and let you come to pass the word so much?" ”
Liu Liangmu got up and replied: "An Le Hou knows that the prince went to Pingcheng this time to mourn for the prince, and he was accompanied by a large number of people, because the matter involved Liao Ji, for fear of causing trouble to the prince again, so he did not dare to come rashly." ”
After all, Yuan Sui was the crown prince of the dynasty, and it was an ordinary thing to see a minister, but this time he came to Pingcheng, and every time he saw someone, he had to consult the Taifu's intentions, Yuan Sui was already angry in his heart, and at this time, he felt even more disgraced when he heard Liu Liangmu's words.
Sinking his face, Yuan Sui said: "You just have to inform An Lehou, I will announce that he will go to the West Palace to meet him." ”
Because Yuan Long had already instructed Liu Liangmu beforehand, hearing Yuan Sui's words, Liu Liangmu hurriedly smiled and said: "The slave just lost his words... The crown prince is the prince of the Great Wei, above 10,000 people, and he has no fear of others. ”
Looking at Yuan Sui, Liu Liangmu continued: "Prince, the so-called escape arrow under the crossbow is extremely dangerous, if the prince agrees, An Lehou wants to go to the prince's mansion in disguise to meet the prince." ”
Yuan Sui was already covering his face, but when he heard Liu Liangmu's words, he felt that his face was saved, so he nodded in response.
Yuan Long's plan was nothing more than to win over Yuan Sui for his control, so that he could coerce the prince in the future to order the world's soldiers and horses. With the approval of Yuan Sui, it was Yen Takashi who disguised himself as a woodcutter who delivered charcoal and entered the Taishi's mansion. It was placed by Liu Liangmu again, which led Yuan Sui and Yuan Long to meet. Yuan Long is old in the world, after all, he does not have a deep relationship with Yuan Sui, so he only said some words of welcome when he met at this time. Seeing that his words were used, Yuan Long pretended to be upset, and instigated Yuan Sui to be grounded by the emperor in the old year.
The things of the old year Yuan Sui were already angry in his heart, and Yuan Long was thinking about the words of greeting, and Yuan Sui now introduced Yuan Long as a confidant.
Yuan Long was overjoyed, but it was inconvenient to stay in the Feng Mansion for a long time, so the two discussed the method of contacting and communicating in the future, and then got up and left.
At this time, outside the palace city of Luoyang, a carriage stopped outside the Xiyang Gate.
Sanbao, the chief of the inner guard, personally led a chariot to Xiyang Gate to greet Zuo Zhaoyi's biological mother, Mrs. Lin, Che. When the Che family got off the car and boarded the chariot, they were introduced into the Yonghe Hall by the Three Treasures.
Because the palace maid was in front, although it was inconvenient for He to recognize Che's mother and daughter immediately, he passed on an edict to exempt Che's kneeling and worshipping. After everyone retreated, He hurriedly got up and left the bed, wanting to salute Che's family, but Che's Fu knelt down again. He stepped forward to help Che Shi up, and then sat down on the couch.
The mother and daughter have not seen each other for a long time, and they are full of words about themselves, but Che knows that she is a woman of the outer court, and it is a holy grace to visit the palace, and she cannot stay here for a long time. Che's heart was about the infant baby, and he said eagerly: "Zuo Zhaoyi, where is Princess Wenhui?" Can you make a concubine look up to her jade face? ”
He looked at Che and said, "Mother, this is the inner hall, and there are no outsiders in it now, so it's good for the mother to call her daughter's name." ”
Between the words of the two, Wang had already hugged Yuan Shu inside.
After taking Yuan Shu, Che looked at the sleeping baby girl in swaddling clothes with love in his eyes, and cried when he saw it.
Seeing Che's appearance like this, Wang Shi hurriedly comforted: "Mrs. Lin, Zuo Zhaoyi gave birth to a little princess, you should be happy, how can you be sad?" ”
Che hugged Yuan Shu with one hand, wiped his face with a handkerchief with the other, and said: "I am crying with joy, looking at Shu'er, it reminds me of when He was born." ”
Caressing Yuan Shu's cheek, Che Shi then said to He: "When you were born, there was a white snake under my bed, and your grandmother came to visit you. Now that you have given birth to a lady, your mother is really happy for you, and I will go to the White Horse Temple to thank the Buddha and Bodhisattva in a few days. ”
Ji Xiang said on the side: "Madam, Your Majesty loves our little princess, and has decreed that the Buddha will be engraved in Yique in the name of the little princess." ”
Che Shi firmly believed in the gods and Buddhas, and raised his head when he heard the auspicious words: "The little princess must have accumulated good virtues in her previous life, and she has this Buddha fate in this life." This opening of the cave and engraved Buddha is indeed a matter of immeasurable merit. ”
He didn't know that Yuan Shu was a rumor of the evil star, and some time ago he knew that the emperor ordered to open a cave in the name of Yuan Shu to engrave the Buddha.
At this time, hearing his mother's words, He Fang said what he was worried about: "Mother, although it is immeasurable merit to open a cave and engrave a Buddha, Shu'er is only a baby in swaddling clothes, and there is no such precedent for princes and princesses. ”
Che Shi looked at He and said, "Shu'er is your first daughter, although she is an infant baby, she is blessed by His Majesty and you, so it should be fine." ”
He Dao: "My daughter has also been blessed by His Majesty, how can I bless Zeen and Shu'er?" ”
Che shook his head and whispered, "There's something I never mentioned to you... You only know that when your grandmother went to the White Horse Temple to repay your vows for you, she met a sweeping monk, and her words were unspeakable, but there was still one word, and she only said it to me... ”
After a pause, Che Shi continued: "The sweeping monk said, you will sit in the Luan position in the future, and there are two sons and two daughters behind you to send them to the end, one of which will dominate the world..."
Before Che's words, He hurriedly stopped his voice and said softly: "Mother, the sweeping monk may have been relieved because of the white snake that caused her grandmother to worry about you when her daughter was born, and my mother must not believe it." ”
Glancing at Wang's and Jixiang, He instructed: "Don't listen to nonsense, remember!" ”
