Volume 5: Blood and Tears Seal the Sand Eighty-Four: Looking at the Sky River under the Qixi Festival

Yang proudly waited for the emperor to deal with the political affairs transferred from Chang'an, and saw a Tsing Yi attendant coming from the corridor from a distance, and asked, "Which palace are you from?" What are you doing here? ”

The waiter held the tray in his hand and said: "The slave maid is serving the princess in the Yang Ah Palace, Chen Niangniang asked the slave maid to send a bunch of grapes to His Majesty, and specially instructed that this was planted by Princess Yuening in the sixth year of Yuanshuo. ”

Yang looked proudly at the grapes on the tray, and the green grapes showed some purple slightly, and he felt a little sour when he looked at it. But he still didn't dare to delay the things sent by Princess Yuening and Chen Niangniang, and said, "I know, you go back first." "Carry it into the temple by yourself.

After so many years of service, although Liu Che, who was watching the folding, had a faint expression, he could still feel that the emperor was in a good mood, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is the grapes sent by Chen Niangniang's orders." ”

Liu Che was stunned, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chen Niangniang sent it?" ”

"yes!" Yang said with a smile: "It is said that Princess Yuening planted it with her own hands in this Ganquan Palace back then." ”

Liu Che thought of Liu Chu, the corner of his mouth smiled, and he was in a good mood and twisted a grape. The sourness in his mouth made him frown, and he reluctantly ate it, and said, "What Zhang Qian presented back then was not this taste." ”

Yang proudly lowered his head and said with some amusement: "Probably the palace people who take care of it don't have the experience of Bo Wanghou." ”

Liu Che was a little helpless, and it was not easy to discard it, so he had to say, "You go out first." ”

The grapes sent to the emperor were naturally the best, so on this day, all the female ministers who served Ganquan were sour by Princess Yuening's grapes. But he didn't dare to blame Princess Yuening and Chen Niangniang, so he had to blame Bowang Hou Zhang Qian, who went to the Western Regions, for being incomplete.

By July, reports of war came from the northwest. Champion Hou Huo Quai, who lost contact with Gongsun Ao, went deep alone. Detour to the north of the Hexi Corridor, with a detour depth of more than 1ooo kilometers, far behind enemy lines, attacking from northwest to southeast, sweeping away the leaves with the autumn wind. The Xiongnu tribes fought with the main force of the Xiongnu in the Heihe River valley under the Qilian Mountain, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, captured 5 Xiongnu kings and more than 100 princes and Xiangguo, and surrendered 40,000 Xiongnu Hun evil kings, all of whom occupied the Hexi Corridor. Liu Che was overjoyed when he saw the newspaper and said with emotion: "When I was a teenager, I was the most stubborn and stubborn, and I kept teaching repeatedly. The rest of the people are worried. I said that he would be a fierce general on the battlefield in the future, but I never expected it. He can do it so beautifully. ”

Chen Ajiao smiled when she heard this, and lowered her head. "Wouldn't that be a good thing? Ultimately. He's a serious protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Huo Quai" Liu Tan thought about the Feiyang Major General who had met a few times in the Weiyang Palace. The experience of the battlefield all the way made him gradually let go of the domineering of his youth, and became more and more calm. In his memory, Yi Pheasant also gritted his teeth and read the name of this young man, and in the Han-Hun Battle in the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, this young man captured Yi Pheasant's uncle with 800 Han troops.

"Yes, Sister Tan." Liu Chedi was quite interested, "He is the nephew of Empress Wei", speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gillian, but Gillian still smiled as if she hadn't heard it.

For some reason, he was a little displeased.

"I remember," Liu Tan didn't pay attention, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that it's almost Tanabata." ”

Qixi Festival is Liu Che's birthday.

Liu Che's eyes couldn't help but calm down a little: "It's hard to be embarrassed, Sister Tan still remembers." ”

Although it is outside the Weiyang Palace, the emperor's birthday still has to be organized.

Gillian had no choice but to take this task, and instructed the palace people to be careful about the placement, and also to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor. She didn't want to bother so much that she would fall too far into the eyes of people. It's not good to be too casual, it's a crime of disrespect to the Son of Heaven.

She curled her lips, and it was a bit ironic that such a ruthless person should have such a romantic birth and fate.

Instructed the palace people to scoop up some crushed ice that had been treasured last winter, and then take all kinds of seasonal fruits and pour them on a layer of black plum sauce, which was her favorite shaved ice when she was a girl.

Liu Chu looked at the crystal clear shaved ice and salivated a little, clasped his hands and said, "Mother, give me a taste first." ”

Chen Ajiao played her forehead funny: "This is a birthday gift, how can I let you taste it first?" ”

"Father won't care, he loves me the most." Liu Chu didn't care about the authenticity.

Gillian was a little distracted, and it turned out that unconsciously, Liu Chu really accepted the identity of his father's favorite daughter.

So how long can Mo'er last? How long can she hold out?

She handed over the things to the attendant and ordered them to be sent to the Sitang Palace, and said lightly: "I'll make it for you tomorrow to eat." ”

Liu Chu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, took Liu Mo's hand and said, "It's not particularly difficult, can't I do it myself?" ”

In the evening, after eating too much ice, Liu Chu began to have stomach troubles. Gillian was angry and funny, and took her ear and gave her a lecture. Diagnose the pulse and prescribe the medicine, stared at her and took it, and then let it go

"Mo'er, you don't stare at your sister at all." She turned around and whispered to Liu Mo.

"My brother also ate a lot," Liu Chu lay on the bed and pouted, "But something happened to me." ”

After some tossing, it is getting late, and the birthday banquet is about to begin.

When Gillian returned to the Quanyin Palace, Liu Che was already there, obviously having heard about Liu Chu, pursed her lips and asked, "Is Chu'er okay?" ”

"Just take a break." She said.

Liu Che nodded, changed their clothes, and held Gillian's hand to attend the dinner.

"That's right," Liu Che seemed to have just remembered, turned sideways and said softly in her ear with a smile: "I like the delicate birthday gift very much." ”

His Royal Highness, the courtiers, looking at the emperor and Chen Niangniang, were extremely intimate, and couldn't help but estimate each other.

Liu Che instructed lightly: "Let's start." ”

Delicacies come up in a steady stream and there are graceful songs and dances. Gillian was worried about Liu Chu in her heart, and after waiting for a while, she retired first.

By the time he arrived at Yang Adian, Liu Chu had almost recovered. Looking at Gillian's eyes, she was bright and full of aura. "Mother," she said a little stupidly, "when it's Tanabata." There will be magpies building bridges in Tianhe for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet. Is it true? ”

Gillian tilted her head and tasted a little wistfully: "My mother heard a saying when I was a child, when I was a child, when I was on Qixi Festival. Squatting under the grape trellis with a well, you can see the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting. ”

Liu Chudi's eyes brightened, "Mother, I remember that there is a well behind the Yang Palace." They took the palace people out of the hall, and it was very cool under the grape trellises, lying on the chairs and looking at the sky. The sky between the mountains is very clear, and the sky is crossed by a light white strip that is the Milky Way.

Liu Chu opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, and said disappointedly. "Why didn't I see the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"

"That's just a legend." Liu Mo said lightly.

Liu Chu wrinkled: "Bad brother, all my fun." The night is as cool as water. Lie down and watch the Vega star.

"Mother" Liu Chu gradually couldn't hold back and fell asleep. He muttered. "You see how much the morning glory and weaver girl look like us. The father is a morning glory. My mother is Brother Weaver Girl, and I are the two little inconspicuous children. If you don't see your parents, you'll cry. ”

Gillian listened slowly, and turned around to look at Liu Mo. Liu Mo lowered his head and avoided her gaze for the first time.

Everyone could sense her imminent departure.

The Cowherd and Weaver Girl can guard the thousand-year-old love because they want to love. And what does she and Liu Che have?

If you keep each other until you get tired of each other and abandon it, it is better not to wait for each other in the first place, and leave each other's best years in the bottom of your heart.

A few lanterns were picked up from the porch in the distance, and the one in the middle looked over. "What are you doing here?" Liu Che asked, smiling and feasting.

Gillian made a silent gesture and said softly, "Go to bed early." ”

Liu Che bent down to look at Liu Chu lying on the chair, breathing shallowly, and sure enough, he was already asleep. His face was ruddy and smiling.

He clapped his hands and commanded softly, "Send Princess Yuening back to the Yang Palace." ”

"Yes." Behind him, the palace people answered, and an inner attendant came up and picked up Liu Chu lightly.

"Father, the emperor's mother," Liu Mo also saluted obediently, "Mo'er also went back to sleep." ”

Liu Che nodded, smiled and saw that he was far away, then looked at Gillian and asked: "The grapes have only come from the Western Regions in the past few years, how could Jiaojiao have heard the legend of watching the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet under the grape trellis?" ”

Gillian lowered her head and smiled, "It's just talking about it, it's funny early." A charming first quarter moon rises in the middle of the sky, and it is more dewy. Liu Che hugged Gillian back to the hall and said softly: "Today, Sister Tan told me that after returning to Chang'an, she invited herself to Yangling to guard the tomb for her father, queen mother, and queen." ”

Gillian sighed in her heart: "Sister Tan's life has been bumpy and suffering, and her heart has gradually become discouraged, and she will be relieved by persuasion." ”

"I think the same way," Liu Che smiled faintly, and his tone was a little heavy, "I and the queen mother owe Sister Tan a lot, now that the royal sister is back, I will definitely compensate me, thinking about it, anyway, Sister Tan has no real feelings with those Huns, you might as well choose another family business for her, so as to comfort and comfort her." ”

"Oh? It's okay," Gillian asked absentmindedly, "Then who does Your Majesty fancy to?" ”

Liu Che looked at her with a bit of judgment in his eyes, and said word by word: "Long letter wait." ”

"Senior brother?" Gillian blurted out a little shocked. "Not bad." Liu Che lowered his eyes and covered the thought at the bottom of his eyes: "Sister Tan was saved by Chang Xinhou, and this affection is not comparable to others. ”

"But," Gillian raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and asked later, "The eldest princess of Pingyang didn't mean to ......."

Liu Che sighed slightly and said, "Originally, I also wanted Sister Xu Jing, but ...... can only let Sister Jing give way. ”

Compared with the scheming eldest princess of Pingyang, Gillian naturally admires Liu Tan more. It's just that the conclusion of a marriage can be done casually, and it can be happily done.

Liu Yi frowned, Liu Yi herself or not?
