Chapter 217: The Gathering of Storms (6)
On the way home from the State Guesthouse, Han Zhaoyang remained silent.
During this period of negotiation with Xixia, he and Bai Yuming got along quite tacitly, and they had already cherished each other, who knew that their friendship would be tested so soon.
After entering the gate of the Han Mansion, Han Zhaoyang finally made a choice, threw the reins to the little servant, and strode towards his father Han Li's study.
After listening to Han Zhaoyang's words, Han Li groaned slightly and said, "Han Qing is actually infatuated to such a point?"
He didn't believe it!
Han Zhaoyang thought for a while and said, "Father, on the day of my mother's birthday, Concubine Bai was pushed into the water by Mrs. Yuwen, Han Qing immediately jumped into the water, and in the end he was rescued by Concubine Bai!"
Han Li stroked his beard and said slowly: "When Han Qing was still the head of the Internal Affairs Office, there was more than one mistress Queen Zhu, she was simply a flower butterfly with nostalgia for flowers...... Would he really be single-minded about a woman? ”
Han Zhaoyang looked at his father and said in a deep voice: "Father, why don't you test your son tomorrow?"
Han Li nodded: "Let's try again!"
He walked to the window, looked at a cluster of moon flowers in full bloom outside the window, and said in a low voice: "If Han Qing really wants to get Concubine Baifang, then our Da Zhou will save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it will ......."
Han Zhaoyang looked at his father: "Father, what do you mean-"
The wrinkles on Han Li's face were like knife carvings, and he said slowly: "Once Concubine Bai enters the Western Xia court, she will become a stain on Lin Yin, the prince of the prince's mansion, with such a biological mother, Lin Yin will lose the right to inherit, and only the future concubine born to Prince He will be qualified to become the heir to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty......"
Han Zhaoyang still felt that it was inappropriate, and looked at Han Li: "Father, I don't know the prince-"
Han Li's eyes were firm: "The prince is an ambitious person, for him, the most important thing is our country, it is the Great Zhou, and the national interests are above all else!"
Han Zhaoyang frowned: "But that is the prince's beloved woman, if the prince doesn't like Concubine Bai, he won't always refuse to accept the concubine, and ask for the title of the prince so early!"
He arched his hand: "Father, please think about it again!"
Han Li shook his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Love, love, the so-called love is nothing in the face of power!"
Han Zhaoyang saw that his father had made up his mind, so he didn't say more.
My father has been up and down in the sea for many years, and he has always made the right choice at an important juncture, so this time I still listen to my father!
It was very quiet in the bright room.
The iceberg placed in the corner not far away is quietly melting, making a almost inaudible "click" sound.
Yu Yu took another peach and thought about it as she ate it.
After eating a peach, Yu Yu wiped the corners of his mouth with a wet hand towel, and wiped his hands carefully, and then said slowly: "I don't believe that the prince will give me to Han Qing."
Bai Yuming has been in the officialdom for several years, much calmer than Yu Yu, he looked at Yu Yu: "Give you to Han Qing, and Da Zhou will be able to form an alliance with Western Xia to deal with the Liao State together; If you don't send it, Western Xia is likely to form an alliance with the Liao State to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty together - which is more important, how will the prince choose? ”
Thinking that Lin Jia would give herself to Han Qing, Yu Yu's heart throbbed, and she was about to lose her breath.
She propped her right hand over her forehead, trying to force back the tears that were about to pour out.
Bai Yuming knew that Yu Yu was crying, he felt very uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "No matter where you go, the eldest brother will accompany you!"
Li Rui said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang, I will stay to protect the prince."
He knew that the person Yu Yu loved in the world was Lin Yin, and if Yu Yu was really sent to Xixia, the person he was most concerned about would be Lin Yin!
Yu Yu wiped her face vigorously, with tears in her eyes and a sweet smile: "If I really go to Western Xia, I will make Han Qing regret it!" One day, I'm going to take control of my own destiny! ”
Li Rui looked at Yu Yu, his heart seemed to be maliciously rubbed in his hand, and he was speechless in pain.
Yu Yu leaned back on the back of the circle chair and said in a low voice: "Li Rui, Your Majesty has returned from the Songshan Palace yesterday, can you find a way to bring Ah Yin back?"
She said softly, "I think Ah Yin ......"
Li Rui thought for a moment, and arched his hand: "I'll enter the palace now, and the side concubine, please wait for my news!"
Yu Yu nodded, and looked at Li Rui with gentle eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, I'm waiting here!"
After Li Rui left, Yu Yu looked at Bai Yuming: "Big brother, please start tomorrow and delay as much as possible when negotiating with Han Qing!"
Bai Yuming replied "yes" and said in a low voice: "Are you hungry?" Let someone send two bowls of boiled pot noodles, and I'll accompany you to use it! ”
Yu Yu didn't feel hungry originally, but when Bai Yuming said this, she suddenly felt hungry, so she called Jin'er in and ordered: "You go to the small kitchen, make two bowls of mutton boiled noodles and send them over, and send a few side dishes!"
Jin'er replied "yes" and quickly retreated.
Bai Yuming looked at Yu Yu, and when he saw Yu Yu's expressionless face, he said, "Don't worry, we will find a way to solve the problem!"
Yu Yu felt uncomfortable, but he was afraid that Bai Yuming would worry about him, so he smiled slightly and said, "Let's eat first, you will have strength when you are full!"
Now that Lin Jia is not in the capital, she only needs to rely on herself, but she can't fall down first!
When Bai Yuming heard her say this, his heart was sour, from childhood to adulthood, as long as he encountered difficulties, Yu Yu's reaction was to eat a good meal, and then plan well after eating to solve the problem.
It didn't take long for Jin'er and Runye to bring in the pot noodles and a few delicate side dishes.
Yu Yu washed his hands and walked over, and saw that the pot noodles were served in a plain porcelain silver-edged bowl, and some chopped green garlic seedlings were sprinkled on top to improve the freshness, just smelling it felt fragrant, so he greeted Bai Yuming with a smile: "Big brother, come and eat noodles!"
After dinner, Yu Yu sent Bai Yuming out, and went for a walk in the back garden by the way.
If it is already dark today, because Yu Yu is going to take a walk in the back garden, Han Lin has already instructed his mother-in-law to light countless glass hydrangea lamps in the back garden, which illuminates the entire back garden as bright as a glass world.
While walking, Yu Yu admired the moon flowers on both sides of the bluestone path.
The moon flowers are purple and red in the daytime, and there is a delicate and transparent beauty in the halo of glass lamps at night.
Han Lin had been silently walking with Yu Yu, but suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Yu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang, no matter where you go, I will follow you!"
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and said after a while: "Okay."
It turns out that only in times of crisis can you know who the real caring person is.
Fortunately, there is also Li Rui, and Hanlin.
Han Lin said this, his heart was settled, he smiled slightly, and continued to walk with Yu Yu.
In the early morning of the next day, Han Qing came together and soaked in the medicinal soup for treatment, and his body was full of silver needles.
Liangchen stood by the side to accompany him.
Meijing suddenly walked in: "Master, Han Zhaoyang sent someone to send a post, asking you to meet at Jing'an Temple in the east of the city in the morning!"
Han Qing's eyes were closed, her long eyelashes were wet, and she trembled slightly: "I'm afraid the Han family is ready to sacrifice Yu Yuyu."
Liangchen was puzzled: "Will Lin Jia agree?"
Han Qing closed his eyes and smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the dimples on his cheeks were deep: "The conditions I gave were generous enough, even if Lin Jia was unwilling, those courtiers would persuade Emperor Yongtai and persuade him to agree!"
Liangchen groaned slightly, and said, "...... sect leader's side"
Han Qing pursed his bright red lips: "I have my own way to get him to agree."
Liangchen knew that the True Sect Master had always been very accustomed to conniving and pampering Han Qing, so he immediately kept silent.
Even with such a ridiculous request, he believed that Han Qing could speak righteously and strictly, so that the Returning Truth Sect Master had to agree.
And the people of Western Xia are all converts, the leader of the sect is heaven and earth, and for the sake of the sect leader, he can go to the soup and go to the fire, so it is not difficult to accept a Han queen.
Thinking of the madness of the Converts, Liangchen shuddered and said in a low voice: "Master, those Converts are terrible, they are obviously very normal people, but once they touch the interests of the Converts, they will instantly become crazy!"
Han Qing smiled again, and said loudly: "The Guizhen Sect was originally a cult that turned people into ghosts, and it has been ghosts for generations.
The beautiful scenery of Liangchen replied "yes" in unison.
Meijing said again: "Master, the news has been released!"
Han Qing laughed: "There are a lot of people who want to help me now!"
It's a cloudy day, the weather is hot and dry, and it's about to rain.
Outside the city, Jing'an Temple is surrounded by tall and luxuriant thousand-year-old ginkgo trees, which is quite solemn and solemn.
Han Zhaoyang was dressed in a cyan Confucian robe, dressed as a Confucian student, and sat quietly on a stone bench under a ginkgo tree in Jing'an Temple.
The little maid looked around, and saw that no one had come, so he asked in a low voice, "My lord, are the guests you invited coming?"
Han Zhaoyang first made himself a pot of tea, poured a full cup, took it up and tasted it, and then said, "He will definitely come back."
Han Qing threw out the bait, didn't he wait for the fish to take the bait?
While the master and servant were talking, the little servant suddenly said softly: "My lord, the guest is here!"
Han Qing put down the teacup and looked over, and saw a white-clothed scholar coming slowly surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Liangchen, is it Han Qing or who?
He smiled slightly, got up to greet him, and arched his hand: "King, please!"
Han Qing sat down opposite Han Zhaoyang and sat opposite Han Zhaoyang to drink tea.
He tasted it with the teacup, too lazy to talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what Lord Han did when he saw me?"
Seeing that Han Qing was so simple, Han Zhaoyang didn't want to delay, and said directly: "Are the two conditions mentioned by the king yesterday true?"
When Han Qing saw Han Zhaoyang take the bait, his heart was happy, but a heavy look appeared on his face, and his voice was hoarse: "I have liked Yu Yu for many years, but I was robbed of love by Lin Jia. If I can get the jade gardenia, I have no regrets in this life, so I will stay in the northwest for a long time, and never step into the Central Plains again. ”
Han Zhaoyang looked at Han Qing's reddened eyes and couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, in the outer study of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Shulin was seeing an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
After listening to the middle-aged man's reply, Jiang Shulin was stunned for a moment: "Han Qing's conditions are so simple?"
With Yu Yu alone, can you exchange the alliance between the Great Zhou and the Western Xia?
The middle-aged man replied "yes" and said, "Master, my subordinates heard about it from Han Qing's personal beauty, and Meijing herself is sighing!"
Jiang Shulin's fingers knocked on the red sandalwood bookcase several times, and then ordered: "Okay, you go down to receive the reward!"
After sitting in the outer study for a while, Jiang Shulin finally made up his mind and instructed the little servant: "Go and prepare, I want to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty!"
Yu Yu had something on her mind, and she woke up before dawn.
She simply got up and took a shower, packed up and went to the inner study to read and practice.
Yu Yu stayed in the study for an hour, and after coming out, she was refreshed and full of energy, and asked Jin'er with a smile: "Set up breakfast!"
Ah Yin is afraid that she is coming back today, and she has to play with Ah Yin for a day.
Yu Yu had just finished breakfast and was rinsing her mouth with fragrant tea, when she suddenly heard a hoarse child's voice outside: "Mother!"
It sounds like the voice of the shade of the tree, who has had a hoarse voice since childhood.
She was wondering if she wanted her son to think of the magic barrier, the thin bamboo silk curtain on the door was lifted, and Li Rui walked in with Lin Yin in a red summer robe.
Lin Yin snuggled in Li Rui's arms and looked at Yu Yu with a smile.
Li Rui said in a low voice: "Shizi, it's called 'Mother'!"
Lin Yin really called "Mother" clearly.
Hearing Lin Yin's call, Yu Yu burst into tears, she got up and walked over, took Lin Yin from Li Rui's hand, hugged her in her arms at once, and kissed Lin Yin several times.
Lin Yin was kissed by his mother and smiled, his white and fat little arms wrapped around Yu Yu's neck, kissed Yu Yu on the lips hard, and called "Mother" again.
Yu Yu hugged her son tightly, sat down on the circle chair, and said in a low voice: "Ah Yin, this child spoke so early, he was only ten months old and would call his mother......"
Lin Yin seemed to understand Yu Yu's words, and his little face was attached to Yu Yu's face, and he clearly called "Grandpa".
Seeing that Yu Yu was surprised, Li Rui hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty has been teaching the prince to speak in the Songshan Palace, but unfortunately 'imperial grandfather' is too difficult to pronounce, and in the end the prince only learned to call 'grandpa'!"
As for Lin Yin calling Yu Yu "Niang", it was taught by Li Rui on the way back to the palace, originally thinking that Lin Yin could not learn it quickly, but who knew that Li Rui only taught it twice, and Lin Yin learned it.
Yu Yu hugged Lin Yin tightly, and her heart was soft and sweet.
For Lin Yin, for Lin Jia, she will not sit still.
Lin Yin sat in his mother's arms for a while, and suddenly found Yu Yu's belly that had obviously bulged, he was very curious, and he touched Yu Yu's stomach through his clothes, and he put his ears up to listen, and he was busy for a long time, and then pointed to Yu Yu's stomach "Ahhhhh
Yu Yu guessed that his son was asking what was in his belly, so he gently touched Lin Yin's soft black hair, and said softly: "Mother's belly is Ah Yin's younger brother or sister!"
Although Ah Yin couldn't speak, she clapped her hands with a smile and seemed to understand Yu Yu's words.
Seeing that Lin Yin was so smart, Yu Yu was overjoyed, hugged Lin Yin tightly, and instructed Li Rui: "You send someone to Liaozhou to see the situation of the prince!"
Li Rui replied "yes" and went to make arrangements.
