Chapter 15 Drinking to Drown Sorrows

After Empress Lu and Dai Qing came out of the prince's palace, they walked along the nullah, through Yongxiang to the north, all the way were full of Xiao Xiao's solemn meaning, along the way through the place, the palace eunuchs saw Lu Hou They quickly retreated to the side, bowed their heads and waited for Lu Hou to pass, before they dared to raise their heads and continue walking, they never heard any noise, and it was very quiet.

"Niangniang, are you still unhappy about Gongzi Lu's affairs?" Dai Qing glanced at Empress Lu, who was walking quietly, as he walked.

Lu Hou exhaled lightly and said indifferently, "No." ”

Dai Qing also said, "In the palace, you have to train yourself to be an iron wall, so that you will not be hurt, and only others will be hurt." ”

Empress Lu laughed when she heard Dai Qing's words, and said to her, "Dai Qing is so powerful, you know that you have trained yourself to be impregnable." How do you say that? ”

Dai Qing pouted, and said in a tone that had experienced many vicissitudes, "Dai Qing knows that His Highness's unhappiness is all due to some people's secret trouble. His Royal Highness's lack of anger and self-authority is obvious to all, but some people insist on moths to put out the fire, Dai Qing has been in the palace all the year round, and he also knows some ways to survive. He smiled as if he had won the ticket, "The slave knows that His Highness will not let Lu Linggongzi die in vain." ”

Empress Lu stepped forward and put her hand on Dai Qing's hand, and the two looked at each other and laughed, as if the two were bosom friends and could understand each other.

Walking and walking, a few people appeared in front of the pavilion in the distance, a dozen people who looked like eunuchs at the beginning, and among the eunuchs there was a man wearing an official uniform and an official hat, about fifty years old, carrying a box in his hand, and followed the eunuchs to hurriedly walk through the pavilion to the north.

"Isn't that Imperial Physician Qin? Is any of the concubines in the palace sick? Empress Lu squinted, raised her neck and looked forward, and fixed her eyes to see that it was Imperial Doctor Qin.

"Probably not, looking at the direction they are going, it doesn't look like they are going to a lady's beauty palace." Dai Qing also raised his neck to look for Imperial Doctor Qin's figure.

"Pass them over."

"Whoa." Dai Qing left Lu Hou's side and chased after the people who traveled far away.

After a while, the eunuch and the imperial physician Qin were stopped by Dai Qing and called to Empress Lu.

After seeing Lu, everyone hurriedly bowed down and lowered their heads, "Niang Niang is extremely happy." ”

Empress Lu looked around them, took a cursory look, and his eyes settled on Imperial Physician Qin, "Imperial Physician Qin, where are you going?" ”

Imperial Physician Qin put down the medicine box, and gave up his hand again, "Minister, minister...... Go to Beiyuan to see a girl. ”

"Girl? North Garden? Empress Lu circled around him again, muttering alone, remembering that the palace maid also happened to go to Beiyuan a few days ago, so it seemed that she must have gone to see a doctor. Empress Lu pretended not to know and asked, "Why did the people in Beiyuan tell you to go and see, who lives in Beiyuan?" ”

"The minister doesn't know, the minister hasn't gone yet."

"Did the Emperor order it?"

“…… Well. "There was a long silence before I said 'um'.

"Then you go." Empress Lu got out of the way, and Imperial Physician Qin took the medicine box and left with the eunuchs.

"Niangniang......" Dai Qing looked at the Imperial Doctor Qin who had gone away, and waited for a while to speak.

"Check her." Lu Houlisuo simply instructed Dai Qing, and then he raised his speed and went to Changxin Palace.

Empress Lu felt that Changxin Palace gave her a sense of sadness and loneliness today. dragged the straight skirt into the hall, dragged the skirt, and suddenly remembered Lu Ling's matter and turned to Dai Qing and ordered, "Lu Ling's future affairs are inconvenient for the palace to go out of the palace to handle, you go to build the Houfu on behalf of the palace, I'm afraid that my brother's mansion is also a mess now." ”

Dai Qing nodded with a 'hmm', "The slave knows, do you want to bring anything to Master Hou?" ”

Empress Lu shook her head lightly, and went straight to sit on the edge of the couch, "No need, everything that should be said has been said, and he also has things there, just tell him not to be sad and sad anymore, the palace will deal with everything." You just need to go there and incense Lu Ling on behalf of the palace. ”

Dai Qing went down, returned to the house to clean up, and immediately went to Jiancheng Houfu. Empress Lu sat alone on the edge of the couch for a while, and Shen Zheng sat without saying a word. Gradually, the sky darkened, although it was unitary time, but the early winter was short and the night was long, and gradually, black enveloped the entire Chang'an City. The Changxin Palace was quiet, and it was already very dark in the main hall of the Changxin Palace, only the two candles near the entrance of the palace were flickering. Empress Lu still sat motionless and quietly on the couch, with no expression on her face, sitting like she was wearing a black veil, even the palace maids who were on duty just now didn't know that when they were on the exchange shift, Empress Lu sat on it motionless, and the palace maids stood in the hall in a regular manner after the quick shift, without raising their heads, and they didn't know that Empress Lu was sitting on it. A little palace maid on patrol outside saw that there were only two candles lit in the hall, which was very dark, and came in with a fire stick to light the other four, and just blew the fire and approached the oil lamp.

"Don't." In the dark hall, Empress Lu's dull and hoarse voice suddenly swayed, which frightened the little palace maid for a while, thinking that there was no one in the hall, and the fire stick fell to the ground with a 'snap'. The little palace maid who had just taken over the shift in the hall was also startled, and they all hurriedly knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.

"Get up." There was still no figure of Empress Lu, only a hoarse voice came. The little palace maids looked at each other, frightened for a while, and got up from the ground and stood up again.

After a while, Empress Lu came out of the darkness and sat down next to a few cases in the hall, the light in front of the hall shone on her slightly, her face was a little tired, and there were some tears in the corners of her eyes. There was a sip of wine on several cases, and Empress Lu ordered that no matter how well she drank, the palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to bother her, so the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace did not dare to come forward to persuade her, so they had to stand quietly and glance at Empress Lu from time to time.

picked up the scoop and poured the wine into the wine, drank the seven jue wine in a row, still not drunk, and poured five jue in a row. 'Bang', pushed off the scrolled bamboo slips on the case, and fell on the case with a 'poof', already three points drunk. His eyes were cloudy and dull and he looked at the wine buds in his hand, leaned the wine buds on his lips again, and drank them all, the undrunk wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, and Lu Hou wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth indiscriminately. buried his head in the case, holding back his voice and crying bitterly. After crying for a while, I poured several jue wines, which made the whole hall smell of spicy wine.

Drinking's face turned red, straightened up and staggered to the palace maid and asked, "Your Majesty...... Go, where did you go? ”

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, they looked at each other left and right, and shook their heads in unison, regardless of whether Empress Lu saw them shaking their heads or not, anyway, they stood with their heads bowed without saying a word.

"Didn't you hear what this palace asked you?" Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she was drunk and hazy and weak on the case, as if she looked at the palace maids and eunuchs with their heads down, and then laughed drunkenly, and staggered to the palace maids and whispered, "You are afraid of me...... I, I know, I know you're not happy with me......" Suddenly there was a hiccup, the wine in his stomach gushed, and Lu Hou hurriedly slapped his chest sideways and vomited, and he vomited a few times and didn't vomit anything. Suddenly, seeing that Empress Lu's tired face was red from the bitter wine in his abdomen, he wiped the tears forced out of the corners of his eyes due to vomiting, and continued to smile drunkenly and said, "That's it...... Afraid of me. Changed his position, leaned his head on his arm and lay down drunken and smiled, "I'm afraid I'll ......" and then covered his mouth and cried again.

The crescent moon shines high, the moonlight shines into the main hall of Changxin Palace, and the steps of the seal are cool and cool. A long figure was printed, his clothes fluttered due to the wind, and a tall man stood at the door, and the palace maids and eunuchs immediately saluted when they saw him, "See the Marquis of Biyang." ”

When he entered the door, he put his hand to his mouth, 'shhh

Judging by the food, he slowly came to Lu Hou's side, and saw her lying drunk with her hands, her mouth was still broken, her face was flushed, sometimes she pursed the corners of her mouth, sometimes she saw the corners of her mouth curl and smiled, and sometimes frowned. He didn't say anything, sat down opposite Empress Lu, cleaned up a few messy things, and asked the little palace maid to take them down, and another little palace maid hurriedly handed over the sobering tea and put it on the case.

Judging the food, he waved his hand and told the little palace maid to go down.

Without saying a word, he quietly looked at the queen in front of him, how could the once hardworking and virtuous queen be so sad now. Gently put his hand on Lu Hou's shoulder, and originally wanted to tell her to get up and go to bed to rest, but as soon as he touched her shoulder, he was grabbed by Lu Hou's hand, "...... The world is like a moment, how can it be so difficult to walk? Your Majesty, the pheasant is tired...... "Grabbing the hand of the judge and pressing it to his cheek, he raised his drunken face and looked at the man in front of her, who couldn't tell whose it was, and shouted "tired" vigorously.

Without saying a word, let Empress Lu hold his hand, and glanced around the palace maids and eunuchs, his eyes were like hooks, and those palace maids and eunuchs quickly retreated after understanding.

Only the judge and Empress Lu were left in the hall.

"Get up and go to the couch to rest." Judging by the food, he turned his hand and grabbed Lu Hou's two arms, trying to lift her up. Empress Lu was drunk in a daze, unable to stand on his feet, and stumbled and fell into his arms, her cheeks nestled against his chest, her hands wrapped around her neck, and rubbed affectionately in his arms. Judging the food he didn't know whether to hold her in his arms, his hands froze in the air, he didn't dare to touch the queen's daughter's body, sighed, and said bluntly, "Niangniang, the minister will eat her." ”

After saying that, the eyes of Empress Lu, who was flushed, lit up, and she jumped out of his arms as if she had woken up, rubbed her temples with both hands, and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his flushed cheeks burned even more, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, wiped his mouth, stepped back a meter away, and regretted the rude just now. He lowered his head and clenched his hands and said hurriedly, "Yes, it's you, how did you come?" Don't you feel inconvenient to come at this time? ”

Judging the food, Huo Ran was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and bent over, "The minister is rude, and he is abrupt." After listening to Lu Linggongzi's story, he entered the palace without thinking about it, and he had time to think about it in the future. ”

Empress Lu embarrassedly bowed her head and crossed the trial, picked up the tea on the table and poured it into her mouth, and said behind his back, "The palace knows, go back, the emperor will be here in a while." ”

Judging the food is walking over, bowing his hand, "Take care, Niangniang, the minister has left." ”

Empress Lu said 'um', "It's dark at night, be careful." After judging the food, he retreated out of the main hall.
