Chapter 157: Supervising the Emperor
In order to further monitor Li Dan and prevent him from colluding with the Li Tang clan, Empress Wu decided to send Wen Jun as the emperor's living assistant, which was actually to let Wen Jun take care of Li Dan.
Li Dan was placed under house arrest by Empress Wu, and his concubine was also killed for offending Empress Wu, and he was so frightened that he couldn't live all day.
Wenjun arrived at the emperor's harem, saw Li Dan sitting alone there, and saluted: "Chen Wenjun see Your Majesty." ”
When Li Dan saw that Wenjun was coming, he was happy and worried, and said, "Hurry up!" ”
Wen Jun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked me to be in charge of the emperor's living, if you are not satisfied, tell me as much as you want, but you can't leave this palace at will." ”
Li Dan smiled back in disappointment: "How can I be dissatisfied? ”
Wen Jun retired and went to the side hall to rest, for her, the job of taking care of the emperor was too easy.
Xiang Lu and Liji also set off from Luoyang and took a carriage to Runan via Xu County.
Li Dan was alone in the palace reading sadly, quietly looking at the sky outside and being distracted.
Wen Jun was eating fruit in the side hall, her legs resting on the table, half-lying and humming a song.
Suddenly, there was a sad sound of flute in the palace, extremely sad, Wen Jun listened to it, and knew who blew it, thinking: I didn't know him in Chang'an at that time, and he dared to scold, now that he is the emperor, he should endure it!
So, Wen Jun blocked her ears and continued to hum her own song, thinking: It was a good errand, but I met such an unlucky emperor.
"Your Excellency, the emperor asked you to go over and play chess with him." The maid came over and said.
Wen Jun hurriedly took out the things in her ears and replied, "Looking for me to play chess?" I won't! ”
"But the emperor ordered it, and I had to do it!"
"Alright! Playing chess is much better than listening to his wailing. ”
Wen Jun straightened her clothes, came to the emperor's palace, sat opposite the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, what chess do you want to play?" ”
"Look, Go, you hold black, I hold white, you play first."
"Why do you go down first, I want the white one, the emperor, you use the black one to go first!"
The emperor smiled and said: "It's all the same, I'm black, go first." ”
Li Dan took the chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, Wen Jun was not good at all, so she looked at where Li Dan went, she went to the same place, and Li Dan saw the clue and said: "The female official can't play!" ”
Wen Jun thought to herself: I still need you to ask!
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister really won't! You'd better find someone else! ”
Li Dan immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I can teach you." ”
"Ahh I'm stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn. ”
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll teach you to relieve your boredom."
So, Wen Jun and Li Dan learned chess, and after coming and going, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Wen Jun lost a game, pouted, and said, "Your Majesty, you are too powerful, I won't play." ”
Li Dan smiled: "I can only win you." If I don't go down, I'm going to be bored again. ”
"It's okay, I'll take Your Majesty out for a walk!"
"Don't, the queen mother will punish you when she sees it."
"It's okay, I'll just take you to the garden to relax, you're always in the room, aren't you bored?"
Li Dan saw that Wenjun looked like she wanted to go out, so she said, "Okay! I'll go with you. ”
Wenjun led Li Dan to play in the garden, although the flowers were gone, but the chrysanthemums were still blooming, and the autumn was crisp, which also made people feel sober.
Just as Wenjun and Li Dan were happy, Empress Wu said angrily: "Emperor, why did you come out, shouldn't you stay in the palace?" ”
Li Dan was suddenly frightened like a quail and wilted.
Wen Jun replied: "The emperor is not in a good mood, I'll take him out to have a look!" The Queen Mother should not be blamed. ”
Empress Wu smiled and said, "With you with her, I won't worry, but I can't let him come out for too long." ”
After speaking, Empress Wu left, and Li Dan had a deep feeling of dependence on Wenjun.
