Empress Lu's thoughts suddenly blanked and stood there, and it took a while to come back to her senses. The Marquis of Biyang in front of him was a little tired, and he seemed to have a lot of vicissitudes on his face when he went to the southeastern countries, and Empress Lu said, "Tired, hurry back and rest, I will ask someone to send the things that should be rewarded to your house." Emperor, don't see you for now, another day, now the Huns are also coming to greet him, he doesn't have time to take care of these things, and then talk about it. ”

"Huns greeting relatives? Is it to ask Princess Lu Yuan to marry? His face suddenly changed drastically, and he stepped forward in surprise and asked urgently. As soon as he heard that the Huns were coming, he remembered this matter, and after a year, he didn't expect that this day had finally arrived. When Liu Jing first went to the Xiongnu to conclude a marriage contract, Empress Lu went to the emperor to cry day and night and disagree with Lu Yuan's marriage, and the emperor agreed at that time. When Empress Lu said this, she was more anxious than Empress Lu.

When Empress Lu heard that he cared so much about the princess, knowing that it was for his own good, her heart was warm for a while, and she smiled slightly, "No, it is a palace maid, also surnamed Liu, and the emperor has named her the princess of Long'an, and she will join Hu with the Xiongnu envoys on the next day." ”

"Oh", he nodded with a little satisfaction, relaxed and reassuring, "That's good, that's good." ”

"The emperor is still ...... Don't you go to sleep at Changxin Palace? He looked up at Empress Lu's face cautiously and asked, for fear that his words would make Empress Lu uncomfortable.

Empress Lu suddenly pressed into the eyes of the judge, and then quickly retreated her gaze, feeling that the words of the judge were very harsh, which made her ashamed but had to admit the truth, and it was not easy to send out the fire in her heart to him. Close your eyes tightly and let out a long exhale, "Whew-" to suppress the waves in your heart. Opened his eyes and glanced at the hall weakly, his eyes were blank, he dragged up his straight skirt and crossed the treasure duck incense burner in the hall, and walked in to stand in front of a silk silk painting with the words "Shen Eventually Chasing" and looked at it for a long time. It has been a long time since the emperor has not slept in Changxin Palace, and Empress Lu is becoming numb and no longer has attachment to him, but whenever others mention it again, there will always be a little wave in her heart, as if her anger is ignited again, and she strives to calm her fiery heart. As she said, 'swear, don't think about it, but don't think about it, it's gone', he doesn't remember everything, since he doesn't remember anything, then so be it, no need to be noisy, be quiet and be yourself.

Seeing this, Dai Qing hurriedly retreated.

Judging his heart, he was moved, and he already understood that he had said the sore spot of Empress Lu, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Shaking his head and sighing lightly, he also crossed the treasure duck incense burner and came to Empress Lu's side. From the back, you can see her helplessness and suffering, and she is thin and has to bear all the wind and rain in the future. Looking at the woman in front of her who seemed to be down and full of expectations, there was only a silence in her words, and there was no strength in her eyes. In the past two months, she has not been by the queen's side, what happened to her. Judging by the fact that he looked at the poor woman, full of pity, his right hand fell on the air above Lu Hou's shoulder, as if he was a little hesitant to touch her, so he slowly clenched his fist and recovered, not knowing what he thought, and suddenly he gently patted his right hand on Lu Hou's thin shoulder. I wanted to give her encouragement and tell her that everything was still herself, but I didn't expect Empress Lu to put her face on her right shoulder to judge her hand, and she was not startled, because it was not the first time for him that Empress Lu had done this, but when there were outsiders, he would immediately reorganize his appearance and stand up, the king is still the king, and the minister is still the minister.

Judging by the food, he didn't withdraw his hand, but just quietly put it on Lu Hou's shoulder, let her put her face on her hand, and soothed, "I will always be by your side." ”

Lu Hou nodded slightly.

"The Queen Mother." The prince's voice sounded in the hall, the prince came to worship Lu Hou early, just stepped into one foot but saw the mother and the judge in the depths of the hall, the judge put his hand on Lu Hou's shoulder, and Lu Hou also looked immersed and put his cheek on his hand. Liu Ying's face suddenly turned from bland to angry, and she froze at the door and looked at the two.

Hearing the sudden arrival of the prince, the 'queen mother' exposed the two of them to the prince's eyes like a beam of light, and they immediately lost their steps. Lv Hou and Judge quickly returned to each other, Judge Eater quickly withdrew his hand, Lv Hou also hurriedly sorted out his emotions, the two looked at each other with embarrassed eyes, and both moved their eyes to Liu Ying at the door, he was looking at them with a gloomy face, that kind of look was like a hook, so that the two of them didn't know what to do, it was extremely embarrassing, no one took the initiative to speak for a long time, Lv Hou was embarrassed for a while, and his hands were clenched together nervously and panicked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince...... "Judging his small tendency to bow in the palace and salute the prince, Liu Ying didn't look at him, and looked at his mother without saying a word, and Empress Lu felt the prince's complaints and anger.

"Ying'er, Queen Mother...... The queen mother was unwell and a little dizzy, so Biyang Hou ...... He...... He helped his mother, Ying'er, you...... Don't get me wrong. Empress Lu was at a loss, and her words were messy and came to the place where Liu Ying was standing, Liu Ying's hook-like eyes suppressed Empress Lu had no confidence and didn't dare to look at him, Empress Lu knew that Liu Ying would never allow her mother to betray her father Liu Bang, and was very afraid that the prince would misunderstand her, so she explained it illogically.

Liu Ying's sharp eyes softened a little at this time, no longer so sharp, looking at the queen mother who was busy explaining to herself, Liu Ying didn't know what to do for a while. She is a mother, and she has lived with herself for more than ten years, in her own opinion, her mother is not like that, even if she has no love for her father, it is impossible to mess around with her father behind her back, not to mention that she is the mother of the Han Dynasty, and she needs to pay attention to etiquette and shame, so if you think about it, what you see may not be true.

Try to convince your heart, try to avoid this matter, and bow deeply to Empress Lu, "The queen mother is extremely happy." ”

Empress Lu hurriedly helped him up apologetically, "Ying'er, hurry up, don't be polite, sit down." ”

Empress Lu pulled the prince to sit down next to several cases, and suddenly the two didn't know what to say, Empress Lu wanted to continue to explain, but felt that the more he explained, the more he covered it up, so he glanced at his son, the corners of his mouth moved and he still didn't open his mouth after all, but the corners of his forehead were in a cold sweat. The prince was also very embarrassed to sit on the mat, his hands clenched tightly under the case, and he bit his lip with a brow, trying to break the embarrassing atmosphere, but he felt that he couldn't say anything like a blank in his mind. finally thought of the sentence 'Queen Mother, have you eaten', and felt that it was not appropriate, and finally the two of them sat awkwardly opposite each other without saying a word. Judging the food, he was even more motionless, bowing down in place as if he was guilty, and did not say a word.

Fortunately, Dai Qing made good tea from the inside and brought it up, which broke the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall and gave the tea with yellow flowers in the jade cup to Empress Lu. The tea with wolfberries in the jade cup was given to the prince, "Your Highness, please use tea." ”

"Thank you." Liu Ying followed the direction of the voice and glanced at Dai Qing, who was pouring tea for herself, with some warm smiles on her face, and said a 'thank you' that she had never said much to Dai Qing.

Dai Qing bowed his head and smiled warmly in his heart, retreated, and stood on the side.

Holding the tea in his hand at the corner of his mouth and blowing gently, he drank it one by one, and still showed the intimate picture of his mother and the judge just now in his mind, the prince suppressed his emotions and hurriedly poured the tea in his hand into his mouth, trying not to remember the picture just now, but the prince choked and coughed, and he stuck out his tongue. Empress Lu put down the tea in her hand and stroked the prince's back, "Slow down." "The prince's 'um' sound is perfunctory.

Liu Ying put the tea on several cases, glanced at the trial not far from him, and stood there without saying a word with his head bowed as if he was guilty.

"Why is the prince also in Changxin Palace? I haven't seen the prince much in these two months? Liu Ying asked casually and deliberately.

'Oh' The judge reacted at this time, and hurriedly bowed down and walked in front of Liu Ying's case, raised his hand and was about to speak, but was suddenly taken over by Empress Lu. Empress Lu said to the prince, "The Hou of Biyang went to Shu after the mother's mother, and brought back a lot of good Shu brocade and Bashu tea, as well as some Shu specialties, Ying'er will take some when she goes back later, Bashu tea is very delicious." Empress Lu hurriedly added on behalf of the Marquis of Biyang, not wanting Liu Ying to know where he went to do this time, but he just took them all to Shu as a shield, even if the emperor asked and answered.

Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction, looking at the boxes all over the ground, presumably the boxes were Shu brocade and Bashu tea that he had said a lot. Liu Ying had never seen such a box of tea, so when she was interested, she got up and went to the side of the box, opened the box and saw that a burst of tea fragrance came to her nose. When the other box was opened, the gorgeous and beautiful Shu brocade seemed to be more charming with the light, and it was a little dazzling at first glance. Casually pulled a few horses of Shu brocade, then feel that Shu brocade is indeed a treasure, Shu brocade color stripes icing pattern prosperous, fine texture and elegant color matching, bright color and tough texture. Some beautiful pictures are all printed on it, such as landscape figures, Nuwa mending the sky, Pangu Didi, flowers and birds unicorns, dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, immortal Weiyang and other colors, very exquisite. Liu Ying smiled, "Shu brocade is a treasure, this is the wisdom of the people of Shu." Liu Ying felt that there was no loophole, so she had to say, "The prince has worked hard. ”

Judging the food with his head lowered and hurriedly arched his hand, "The duties of the minister, Your Highness likes it." ”

"I should bring some Shu brocade and Bashu tea to Princess Long'an, this time I will go thousands of miles, and I don't know when I want to see you again." Looking at these good things, Liu Ying thought of the innocent Liu Lu, thinking that she was going to marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu on behalf of Sister A, and always felt sorry for Liu Lu, and wanted to use all the good things to make up for her, so she suggested to Empress Lu like this.

Empress Lu nodded, "The Queen Mother thinks so too." Ying'er doesn't have to think about it, the queen mother will arrange Princess Long'an. ”

Liu Ying said lightly, "There is a queen mother." ”

Judging Shiqi stayed aside and listened quietly to Empress Lu and the prince, not daring to interject.

Lu Hou asked, "In the past few days, has Ying'er been learning things from her uncle and grandson?" ”

Liu Ying nodded and smiled, "The mother has a vision, Mr. Uncle Sun is really a knowledgeable person, and I learned a lot of things I don't know from Mr. Uncle Sun, but I still have one more thing to tell the Queen Mother when I came here today." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Today, Erchen can't study, Princess Shaling'er wants to ask Erchen to accompany her to take a good look at the palace."

Empress Lu smiled, approached the prince's side, took the prince's hand, patted it, and said with a smile, "Go, it's good to accompany Princess Sha Ling'er to take a good look at our Han family's palace." ”

After Liu Ying thanked Lu, he walked outside the hall, paused slightly beside him, glanced at him lightly but seriously, and went out, so frightened that he bent his body lower, and sent the prince out.
