Chapter 7 Plans of One's Own
After Liu Bang settled Mrs. Guan, he left the Linhua Palace, along the way, in addition to being happy that he had a prince again, he hated and worried at the same time, and walked to the piece of Shi Meiren who met Shi Meiren just now, and remembered what Shi Meiren said, what is fake is fake, and it can never become true, just like the identity of a person, if you want Li Dai Taostiff or deliberately conceal it, after being discovered by others, not only will you lose face, but even the people and families around you will be made fun of, and in serious cases, you will launch attacks and wars.
"Is it appropriate for Ah Yuan to marry the Huns?" Liu Bang sighed sadly, frowning as he walked, thinking, "Maybe what she said is right." ”
Back in Yuzao Palace, Xiuyue and Zhen'er were cleaning in the hall, and when they saw Liu Bang coming in, they were busy saluting, "See the emperor." ”
Liu Bang didn't bother with this, and waved his hand to them indiscriminately. Zhen'er put down the work in her hand, and went into the back room to pour tea for Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi heard that Liu Bang was coming again, came out of the back room, and saw Liu Bang sitting on the mat with a heavy heart, frowning slightly and gritting her teeth in contemplation, looking at his temples again, there were more silver threads, and there were many more wrinkles on the forehead, and she suddenly felt that the emperor had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and Mrs. Qi looked bitter and distressed, after all, Liu Bang was her husband.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? went to Linhua Palace, is Mrs. Guan annoying you again? Mrs. Qi walked up to Liu Bang and asked softly, "How is her body?" ”
Liu Bang exhaled a low sullen breath, pursed his lips, looked at the sunlit palace door with no brilliance, his arms crossed on the ground to support the upper body that fell backwards, and said gloomily, "She didn't bother me, it was I who was ready to send A-Yuan to the Huns, I'm afraid that I will disappoint the queen this time, and I will meet the Hun envoy in two days, and then fulfill the promise to send the daughter into Hu to marry, and it just so happens that A-Yuan is still in the palace." ”
With a 'dang', the dust duster in Xiuyue's hand fell to the ground, and her face was flustered.
A loud blow attracted the attention of Liu Bang and Mrs. Qi, and Liu Bang scolded loudly with a dark face, "Why are you staying here if you can't do this well?" The words were stern, and Xiuyue's 'dangchang' just happened to knock on him when he was sad and unhappy.
Xiuyue hurriedly picked up the duster and hurriedly apologized to Liu Bang, "The slave knows that she is wrong. ”
Mrs. Qi and Liu Bang looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. Mrs. Qi sat next to Liu Bang, her face became solemn, and she sighed slightly, worried that the queen would blame her for bewitching the emperor to send the princess to the Xiongnu, so Empress Lu's hatred for her became stronger and stronger, almost to the point that water and fire were incompatible, Qi Ji wrote tightly with both hands, and Yujing Huaming's face was suddenly anxious, and she didn't say a word.
When Liu Bang saw her like this, he asked, "What's wrong with Madame?" Why is your face so solemn? ”
Mrs. Qi let out an 'oh' sound, turned around and said, "Didn't Your Majesty originally promise the queen not to send the princess to Hudi?" Why did you change your mind again? ”
Liu Bang sighed, peeled the fruit on the case and ate it, and said, "Mrs. doesn't know something, it's best to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but the results will be different, one is stability, the other is war, these are the two results." The Han family is now recovering, and the national strength is not as good as the Xiongnu, it seems that I have not thought it through enough, and I should marry the real princess. ”
Mrs. Qi got up in a hurry, leaned over to Liu Bang's side and said eagerly, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the queen will trouble me?" She would have thought that I had pestered His Majesty to bewitch His Majesty into doing so. Liu Bang immediately stopped peeling the fruit, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth was wide open. I think what Qi Ji said is reasonable, everyone knows that Qi Ji wants the queen and the people around her to make mistakes or be unlucky, although she decided to send Ayuan to Hu, but the queen may not think so. He is here with Qi Ji these days, and the queen will definitely think that it is Qi Ji who bewitches the king's heart, so Liu Bang frowned and fell into contemplation, thinking of solving the contradiction between the queen and Qi Ji.
Scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, 'uh' for a while, he picked up the tea on the case and drank it all, licked his mouth and comforted Qi Ji, "The queen won't be embarrassed for you, after dinner, I should go to the queen to make it clear, you will be fine." Liu Bang gently hugged her into his arms and said some comforting words, which could only comfort her like this.
Mrs. Qi bit her lip tightly, listening to Liu Bang's uneven and dull breath, and thinking about Queen Pingsuri's style of doing things, Mrs. Qi closed her eyes in frustration.
Xiuyue, who was working in the palace, was anxious, and her heart jumped to her throat about the decision that the emperor said, and now the queen didn't know that the emperor was going to choose the princess to enter Hu, if Liu Bang went to Changxin Palace and didn't listen to Empress Lu's words, if he didn't marry the princess to the Huns, would Empress Lu let go of himself and Yun He's carelessness? Xiuyue didn't know that the Xiongnu were about to enter Chang'an, and now she listened to the emperor's decision, thinking about it in a box, but her head suddenly went blank, and Xiuyue shivered anxiously. Scratching her ears and frowning, Xiuyue knew that the emperor and the empress had quarreled about the princess back then, when Liu Bang promised Empress Lu not to marry Lu Yuan to Hudi, why did he suddenly change his mind after going to Linhua Palace, could it be that Mrs. Guan was obstructing it? When working in Changxin Palace, the concubines of each palace went back to worship Empress Lu according to the festival, and when they were serving or chatting with other palace people, they knew more or less about the character of the concubines in the harem. Mrs. Guan is very arrogant, strong outside, brave and strategic, it is also possible to persuade the emperor to marry the princess into Hu, according to her tenacious style, this matter is inseparable from Mrs. Guan's demagoguery.
Xiuyue was firm in her thoughts, thinking that Yun He would go out of the palace in the past two days to help Qi Ji get some rouge gouache. Counting that the day will come today, Xiuyue took the opportunity to say to Qi Ji, "Madam, Yun He should come back today for rouge gouache, why don't I pick her up in front of the west gate." ”
Falling in Liu Bang's arms, Qi Ji remembered that Yun He was indeed returning to the palace at this time, thinking that she couldn't take so many things, since Xiuyue took the initiative to say that she wanted to help Yun He, Qi Ji really believed it, so she smiled and agreed.
