Chapter Thirty-Five: Growing Old

"That's what I said. However, Lao Yi, you have a family and a business in Donggu, and it is always bad to come to Nanqi to answer people's errands, so it's better to ......" Lu Feng couldn't understand why Lao Yi was so insistent. wanted to persuade him to return to his hometown, and thought of Lao Yi, a big man who came to do business in Nanqi and couldn't do business, and was cheated out of all his money, what if his wife and concubine really looked down on him because of this. In this world, not all girls can be as empathetic and reasonable as Susu.

"Lao Lu, you also know my difficulties, I can't go back to Donggu for the time being, and I can't support me in Kyoto, right? If you have a difference, do it in advance, and then make plans. ”

"Huh? Lao Yi, you were cheated of money and didn't report to the official? "But most of the people who cheat people out of money are partners in the game, please enter the urn, don't say anything about defrauding money, you can also make you dumb and eat coptis and you can't say it. Like Lao Yi, who can still make up Panchuan to join a friend, it's not bad. There are also those who wipe their necks and hang their families and die, Lu Feng has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, he has heard of it, and he has seen it.

Even so, Lu Feng still asked a lot of questions, maybe there would be more ways out.

Yi Jun's face was full of sorrow, he shook his head and sighed, "Hey, if I could keep and arrest such a villain, I would have reported it to the official a long time ago." I'm ...... Hey......"

When Lu Feng saw him like this, he knew that Lao Yi must have fallen into someone's trap, and the situation was complicated, so he comforted: "Okay, don't get angry." When the money is gone, make it again! ”

"Lao Lu, you have to help me! I met you as a friend in Nanqi, and if you don't help me, I'm really desperate. Yi Jun raised his eyes and looked at Lu Feng, with tears faintly flashing in his eyes.

Yi Jun insisted on this, and Lu Feng was not easy to persuade again. Come to think of it, what he said was not without reason.

It is easy to be old and difficult, but Lu Feng can't take care of him for a lifetime. Sooner or later, he had to plan for himself. Especially in Yi Jun's environment, there are wives, concubines and mothers at home. Because of the failure of the business, he returned to his hometown without shame. It's better to find him a job first, maybe one day he can figure it out and cross this hurdle in his heart, and he will be able to go home and reunite with his relatives.

Lu Feng said softly: "In this case, I'll help you inquire first, don't worry, stay in the dart game steadily." ”

"Lao Lu, I didn't expect that you and I would meet in Pingshui, you can do this for me, I am really ......" Before the words fell, Yi Jun choked.

"When you go out and walk the rivers and lakes, who hasn't encountered difficulties and worries? Isn't it all about you helping me, I helping you, supporting each other, and coming over! Lao Yi, you don't have to thank me. Maybe one day, I'll be able to ask you again! ”

Yi Jun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, patted his chest, and swore and said: "Lao Lu, our brothers have a lifelong friendship. From now on, your business will be my business! ”

At the end of the year, inside and outside the imperial city, Letao is full of joy. Only the Changchun Palace is like late autumn and deep winter, lifeless.

When Liu Yuan came back from Fenghuan Palace, she took off her court clothes and went into the quilt to make up for sleep.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the faces of the eldest prince, His Majesty the Emperor, and the queen mother appeared in turn in her mind. Tossing and turning, turning over and over, finally falling asleep, dreaming again and again.

In the dream, the eldest prince, His Majesty the Emperor, and the queen sneered at her and did everything they could to humiliate her.

Liu Yuan argued with them, argued with them, but couldn't argue, Liu Yuan would fight. It doesn't matter if you are the son of heaven or the mother of the country, you will be beaten! slapped Zhao Xu with his left hand, smashed Queen Yang with his right hand, and lifted a kick, hitting Zhao Yao's heart.

Empress Yang, Zhao Xu, and Zhao Yao were defeated one after another, and Liu Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, "Ha! You defeated men, do you dare to compete with me?! ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yuan opened her eyes suddenly, pitch black, and sighed leisurely, "Hey, it's a pity it's a dream." "Moving my arms, I was sore, and I endured it

Standing up, he called outward: "Wanbao, palm lamp." ”

Wan Bao bowed outside and answered "yes".

A group of palace maids and fish penetrated inside, changed clothes and palmed lamps for Liu Yuan, and combed her hair cleanly.

Wan Bao combed Liu Yuan's cloud bun, inserted an ivory comb behind it, and a pair of Luan Feng hairpins on both sides of the bun swayed.

In the dormitory, the lights are shining, and Liu Yuanjiao's good face is more and more charming.

However, in the end, the years are not forgiving.

Liu Yuan took a self-portrait in the mirror, the skin of the person in the mirror is no longer tight, and fine lines appear at the corners of the eyes, the most regrettable thing is that the pair of beautiful eyes are not brighter and clearer than before. Liu Yuan's brows furrowed slowly, and she muttered in a low voice, "Ah, I'm old, old." As he spoke, he smoothed his fingers to the corners of his eyes.

Liu Yuan looked at the strange appearance of her eyebrows raised in the mirror, giggled, smiled without retracting, raised her hand impatiently, and waved away a group of palace maids, "Let's all go down!" ”

The palace maids bowed their heads and withdrew from the dormitory, leaving only Wanbao alone.

Liu Yuan pulled off Luan Feng and shook it, threw the ivory comb on the dresser, and said coldly: "I am no longer the age of a flower, the appearance of a flower, and the cuteness of a flower." I'm old, I'm old......"

"Mother's ......"

Wan Bao wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Shaohua is easy to pass away, and the red face is easy to age.

Liu Yuan is an ordinary man, how can she escape the control of time, immortal and incorruptible?

"Niangniang, is it not very pleasant in the dream?"

Liu Yuan suddenly had this emotion, which must be related to her dream. Wan Bao was not comforted, but cut straight to the door.

When it came to the dream, Liu Yuan's beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened, "Hmph, Queen Yang, the wild seed and San Lang refused to let me go in the dream, and they wanted to compete with me!" I really didn't know what I could do, and in the end, the three of them were defeated and retreated, and I won after all! ”

Wanbao flattered, "Niang Niang is wise!" Then he combed Liu Yuan's hair again and inserted Luan Fengbu to shake.

Liu Yuan's face was slightly pale, she sat in front of the mirror and asked, "Have Xiao Tian and Yougen returned to the palace?" ”

"Niangniang, today is the first day, and it is estimated that it will take five or six days." Wan Bao looked at Liu Yuan in the mirror, shook his steps, and then said: "Niangniang, in your opinion, is Your Majesty going to entrust Xiao Tian with a heavy responsibility?" ”

His Majesty the Emperor ordered Xiao Tian to go to Fengshan Village and reprimand the three brothers of the Zhao family in person, and the slaves and maids were speculating that His Majesty intended to promote Xiao Tian and cultivate him to become Tian Zhen's successor, and even rumored that Xiao Tian would return to the palace, and His Majesty would promote him to be the young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, on an equal footing with Wan Bao.

Looking at the current situation, Liu Yuan's loss of power may be imminent. Wanbao will naturally suffer with it, so it is no wonder that Wanbao will feel precarious.

"Entrusted? It's funny. If Saburo had trusted Oda, he wouldn't have asked Arigen to go with him. Liu Yuan glanced at Wan Bao, "You, don't think about the inner guard." That's not something you can afford. What San Lang believes in the most is not Baili Ke, nor is there a root, but Tian Zhen! If Tian Zhen does not die for a day, the inner prison will not be replaced for a day. ”

The slave was terrified. The slave maid serves the concubine Niangniang wholeheartedly, and the rest of the slave maid never thinks about it. Raising her eyelids, she secretly glanced at Liu Yuan, and saw that she looked as usual, and she was much more courageous, "The slave just can't understand why His Majesty is still a little yellow door since he has roots." And Oda is an internal servant, but His Majesty still doesn't trust him? ”

"Zhao Yao is a monk, but he has changed his body and can stand beside San Lang and accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. And I, who was the concubine of the late prince, was able to enter the palace as the concubine of San Lang. In this palace, how can there be absolutes? ”
