Chapter 145: First Entry into the General's Mansion

Since the Empress Dowager Liang made a 'confession' storm in the court, her heart has not been at peace for a moment. One of the things that often hangs on the Queen Mother's lips every other day is the old things about the 'King of Heyang' buried in her heart.

Especially recently, in the court, the courtiers have been talking about it hotly and dare not blatantly publicize it, and the matter about 'Li Qiusheng' has made the Queen Mother Liang uneasy and worried. This root, which has suppressed her sad pain for more than ten years, was untimely and exposed at the moment when she was about to forget everything. Is this providential? Or is it a repetition of another dusty old thing. The Empress Dowager Liang really doesn't know.

After more than half a month of worrying and worrying, the boring fixed life of the palace made the queen mother's mind and body suffer. On this day, there is nothing to do. The Queen Mother happily dismissed all the palace ladies and women, and sat quietly next to the lotus pond in the back garden of the palace. The summer winds of July are still accompanied by the scorching heat and dryness of the waterfall. The feeling of brushing the branches and willows still echoes the warm dry heat and wet bath of the slight fire.

The Queen Mother stood on the pavilion of the Shuhe Pavilion, and was looking at a green lotus in the pool that was independent of the water, and a flying red dragonfly suddenly stood on it, and the lotus branches trembled, and immediately the ripples of the pond water rippled and dripped out. The appearance of this lotus branch without wind and the beauty of the red dragonfly suddenly wet the Queen Mother's bright eyes, and a few tears fell down her cheeks and splashed on the pavilion.

The Queen Mother's heart suddenly conceived and imagined the image of a lonely and helpless teenager, who was walking alone on the windy and muddy path. The wind was fierce, the rain was desolate, and the young man's whole body was struck by an ominous crack in the mind of the Queen Mother's fantasy. But the boy seemed to have tightened his body a little, and walked up again against the wind and rain.

Behind him, a delicate reproach came from the flower path in the distance. Some bizarre fantasies in the Queen Mother's mind were immediately and completely interrupted, and she looked back at the small flower path where the reproachful voice came from without regret. The lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, had already rushed over with his clothes in his hand, muttering again and again. "Mother, how can you be alone here and hurt yourself? If there is an accident, how about you call Erchen? ”

Empress Dowager Liang glanced back at Li Tianzhao again, and replied slowly after a while. "Son, you know who is making trouble for your mother's thoughts. And you are busy with state affairs, how dare you disturb you. In this way, the heart of the mother is bitter! ”

"Mother, all this is the child's fault." Li Tianzhao was so anxious that he immediately took all the fault on himself, and the purpose of his doing this was actually not to let the queen mother have a trace of worry and unhappiness.

The Empress Dowager Liang said coldly, "Emperor, you are the king of a country, what is the crime?" Isn't this all the result of self-pity for myself as an old woman? Not related to other people. You don't want to take care of these unnecessary troubles, otherwise, how can the queen mother be at ease? ”

Li Tianzhao immediately replied, "If the queen mother says this, isn't that a demolition of the dead child?" It is because the child is the king of a country, but he can't make the queen mother smile, but he is worried and worried. Isn't this sin great for a child? I also ask the queen mother to forgive the child's carelessness. ”

The Empress Dowager Liang Shi looked back, looked back at the single lotus in the upper pond and said. "Emperor, don't blame yourself, the queen mother understands it in her heart. Since you want to unravel the queen mother's heart, then the queen mother will ask you one thing now, hoping that the emperor will be fulfilled. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother raised her voice like this, Li Tianzhao was so anxious that she grabbed Bai Dao. "Mother, don't say it's a thing. It is ten, eight, hundred, thousand, as long as the child can do it, even if the body is broken, he will definitely try his best to do it for the queen mother, and never let the queen mother regret it again. ”

"Silly emperor, how could the queen mother ask you to do so many things? Otherwise, where would the queen mother put the emperor's world? The Queen Mother Liang smiled and said as if blaming herself.

Li Tianzhao seemed to have anticipated the words of the Empress Dowager Liang's words, and didn't want to do too much tongue work for a while, so he immediately saluted and said. "The queen mother, since you are so provocative of the child's world, then ask the queen mother to tell me what the so-called thing is, you have to ask the child to make a decision and be so polite?"

Empress Dowager Liang suddenly stopped and thought about it, and immediately said again. "The queen mother wants to go to the general's mansion for a few days, but I don't know if the emperor can ask the queen mother?"

"Queen Mother, how many days do you want to go to the General's Mansion for a few days?" When the lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, heard the words of the Queen Mother Liang, his mind was pounding. He couldn't have imagined that the Queen Mother would bring up such a stubborn and embarrassing topic, and the mother of a country would actually propose to live in the courtier's house. So if this matter spreads, wouldn't it be a blow to the royal family? The dragon bed and dragon chair in the palace, you don't sit or sleep, you have to go to a courtier's house to mix blindly. Is this an exception made by the ancient court? Isn't it ridiculous to slide the world?

A little bead of sweat suddenly appeared on Li Tianzhao's forehead, and he wiped the sweat that was about to drip on his forehead with a wave of water. For a while, he was in a hesitant mood, and for a while he frowned and hesitated. The empress dowager's difficult choice made Li Tianzhao lose his previous tricks for a moment. He also stood there stunned, not knowing how to answer.

The Empress Dowager Liang looked at Li Tianzhao with an embarrassed look at this time, and said after a long sigh faintly. "Hey, since the emperor is so difficult to make a decision now, then the queen mother is not strong. Let him go, don't mention it, don't mention it. ”

The frustrated panic hit Li Tianzhao's bleeding heart like a side knock, and he squeezed his five fingers tightly and struck the pavilion. said, "No, the queen mother, the child will send someone to inform the general's mansion, so that the general's mansion can quickly prepare to welcome the queen." ”

The Empress Dowager Liang was also stunned and confused. She couldn't guess the quick reaction of the country lord Li Tianzhao at this time, and agreed to her request so easily for a while.

Suddenly, a smile of relief appeared on her face, and a glimmer of spirit flashed in her eyes.

The capital, inside the General's Palace.

Li Qiusheng stood bored under an old ancient tree, glanced around, and smiled helplessly, like a lonely goose, he seemed to have no direction to stay. In his heart, he inexplicably remembered the bits and pieces of the thief's mother-in-law Di Jinyan before she left Beijing, and there was a long series of video clips in his memory.

Hey, as soon as the thief's mother-in-law left, the golden knife was ordered to go to Li Dashuai's Sili Lieutenant Camp again, and the old man Dong seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no news before and after. In the entire general's mansion, only he, Li Qiusheng, was left alone, and an outsider suffered here, and the feeling of loneliness multiplied.

Li Qiusheng was so bored that he was really a little flustered, he casually picked up a small pebble under his feet, aimed at a black evil hovering above the ancient tree and chirping, and threw it violently. I only heard the sound of 'ah' screaming, and I only heard an old butler from the general's mansion coming out from behind the ancient tree, waving and shouting. "Li Gongzi, the general's front hall is invited, please come over quickly."

"Is the general invited?" Li Qiusheng raised his head and asked, his eyes suddenly looked at the old man under the ancient tree, and his half-suspicious heart still couldn't arouse his interest at this time.

"Well, Li Gongzi, you can go with the old slave. I went to see the general in the front hall, but I was afraid that I would miss the matter of the son? The old butler said in a serious voice, looking like he had to go to the front hall if he wanted to come over and pick up Li Qiusheng.

Li Qiusheng couldn't resist the stubbornness of the old housekeeper for a while, so he had to sigh, pouted and followed behind the old housekeeper's house angrily, and walked towards the front hall of the general's mansion with a swagger.

The two of them walked from the backyard one after the other, and just as they were about to step into the front hall of the General's Mansion, they heard Li Liangguang in the hall speak with a cheerful look. "Mrs. Liang, it's not impossible for you to come to my general's mansion for a few days. It's just that the general's mansion is busy with military affairs, and Li is a doppelganger, and he is afraid that he will not be well entertained. At that time, Mrs. Liang has been treated, how about you call me Li? After that, the company commander sighed a few times, and walked around the hall with a very haggard and helpless look.

After a while, I heard the long laugh of the old lady called Liang before saying, "General, don't worry. Didn't the old body just come to the General's Mansion to stay for a few days? There's no need for you to be so embarrassed, General. The old man said something in advance here, and made an agreement with the general's mansion on the 'three prohibitions'. First, it is not allowed to welcome the old body with great fanfare and lanterns in the General's Mansion, and everything is only according to the general's mansion on weekdays; Second, it is forbidden for the people up and down the general's palace to talk about this matter, and if there are people who chew their tongues, they will be severely punished; Third, outsiders are not allowed to disturb each other, and the old man is only an ordinary person in the general's mansion, and there is no need to send special care. ”

This old lady Liang's 'three prohibitions' covenant has been made, and it is naturally final. However, this 'three prohibitions' covenant made Li Dashuai of the General's Mansion open his round mouth wide in shock for a while, and the puppet stood in the hall, his eyes as big as a gong. Li Dashuai's hoarse mouth at this time couldn't reveal a single word.

Li Qiusheng, this kid, still wanted to settle down and listen quietly, but the old butler of the General's Mansion had already stepped into the hall and said. "Li Dashuai, Li Qiusheng and Li Gongzi have already brought, please show Li Dashuai."

Li Liangguang suddenly came to his senses in the horror just now, looked up at the old housekeeper in front of him, and suddenly replied quickly. "Hurry up and invite Li Gongzi to come out, so I can meet the guests of the General's Mansion."

The old man answered, immediately turned around, and walked out from behind with Li Qiusheng in an instant. Then he turned around and pushed Li Qiusheng's body in front of everyone, before bowing and retreating.

The old lady Liang, who had been sitting in the hall, immediately put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and asked.

"General Li, is this young man the 'Li Qiusheng' you call it?"

"Exactly!" General Li Liangguang replied in a solemn voice.

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
