Section 25 Promoting marriage
At noon in the middle of summer, I accompanied my big-bellied princess, lying on the couch and blowing the cool breeze!
Lu Zhaojun is easy to get angry after pregnancy, and she is very restless, pregnant women are probably like this, I only have to accompany her and coax her more, and I can understand her hard mood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I washed some sweet grapes with my own hands, and then peeled them one by one and fed them to her! My wife enjoyed it very much, and she was in a good mood when she ate them with relish.
It was a great blessing to see her smile happily and not reprimand her maids.
I was just about to lie down and rest for a while, but Lu Zhaojun said coquettishly to me: "Your Majesty, the concubine still wants to eat, quickly help the concubine peel another grape!"
Ouch, it's too spoiled, it's too squeamish! Forget it, it's rare for her to be so happy, it's better to coax more!
I reached out and washed another grape, peeled it off, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Lu Zhaojun used her delicate little lips to keep pouring the grape in her mouth, and then said with the grape in her mouth: "Your Majesty is really good to your concubine, hehe! The concubine also wants to help Your Majesty peel one!"
After saying that, she reached out to get the grapes, and I immediately stopped her, and the result was immediately exchanged for a roll of her eyes!
...... Well, it's all up to her, she's the pregnant mom she's the biggest!
Just when we were enjoying the loving life of husband and wife, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, listening to the sound of the clanging armor metal swaying, obviously a military general came to me!
I'm a little puzzled, generals generally don't come to the harem, and they can't enter the harem without my summons, who should this be?
Soon I found out that the person who came turned out to be my cousin Liu Ce, no wonder! This Marquis of Wuyang is my cousin, he wants to enter the palace, who dares to stop him!
Marquis Wuyang came to us, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness to my father, I can't thank you enough!"
Before I could speak, Lu Zhaojun said directly: "Liu Ce, shouldn't you come specifically to thank you?
Although Lu Zhaojun's tone was more severe, his words seemed to be very generous and decent, this little girl, should I say that she is good or that she is not good? Why do you always grab me to speak in front of me and finish everything I want to say, so what should I do?
Wuyang Hou stood up with a shy smile, looking at the two of us laughing without saying a word!
Lu Zhaojun immediately waved at him and said, "Come on, come and sit Liu Ce, these grapes are very sweet, you can also eat a few!"
The family doesn't speak two words, there are monarchs and ministers in the court, and there are naturally relatives outside the court!
Lu Zhaojun's enthusiasm made Liu Ce feel very natural, he didn't have any raw points, sat next to me with a smile, reached out and picked two grapes from the plate and threw them directly into his mouth!
I turned my head and asked softly, "How has Uncle Huang been here lately? Is the Anyi Palace still used to it?" Do you still lose your temper?"
Liu Ce didn't hide it, he raised his head and sighed and said: "My father has a stubborn temper, I'm afraid it will be difficult to let go of it for a while!
I nodded, sighed, and said, "When my brother is empty, I still come to the palace to visit your father more often! Although he is very fierce in his mouth, he should still be very worried about you in his heart!"
Liu Ce nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother Ce understands! Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, when the minister was patrolling outside the city, he accidentally found Li Chengzu's niece mixed with the homeless people! The minister has taken her outside the palace gate, does Your Majesty want to see it in person? Or does the minister's brother settle her directly?"
I was shocked after hearing this, and looked at Lu Zhaojun in a daze, isn't this Li Chengzu's whole clan destroyed, how can a niece escape?
Lu Zhaojun frowned and looked at me, and said very puzzled: "How is Your Majesty?"
I hurriedly said, "Concubine Ai is resting, I want to visit in person!"
Lu Zhaojun sighed, waved his hand and said goodbye to me nonchalantly......
Looking at her leisurely appearance, I really want to overwhelm her and kiss her a few times, it's so cute!
I followed Liu Ce to the gate of the palace, and at this time, a young woman walked out of the sedan chair, who also looked like a flower and a moon, very beautiful!
After some inquiry, I learned that Li Chengzu had four brothers, and she was the eldest daughter of Li Chengzu's eldest brother.
Later, the Huns invaded the city, she escaped from the city together with the displaced people, and after learning that the Li family was wiped out, she had nowhere to go, so she had to enter Yongzhou with the displaced people, hoping to get help in the city of Yongzhou. Fortunately, he met Liu Ce, who was on patrol, and explained his intention to him, so he was lucky to be accepted into the city.
Seeing that her clothes are clean and rich, Liu Ce must have taken her home to clean and dress up!
I nodded, and immediately took her into the palace to settle down, and sent some servants to take care of her!
Hangu Pass has been captured, and now there are 50,000 troops stationed in the pass, and the military resources and grain are abundant!
Luoyang is surrounded by a flat river, easy to attack and difficult to defend, there is no important military value, and it is nothing if it is lost, at this time Li Chengzu can completely rest!
So I took the opportunity to write a letter asking him to come to Yongzhou immediately to see his only relative!
Li Chengzu heard that his relatives had come to Yongzhou, so he hurriedly set off from Luoyang, only brought a few entourages, and rushed to Yongzhou non-stop!
After coming to the backyard of the palace to see his niece, his uncle and nephew hugged and cried, and the scene was very touching.
Li Chengzu saw that his niece was arranged very properly, so he let her rest well and left with confidence!
Then Li Chengzu came to find me, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for taking care of the niece of the minister personally, the minister is grateful!"
I...... , Lu Zhaojun came again, and she said smoothly: "Why is Nanyang Hou so polite, I heard that Nanyang Hou met His Majesty ten years ago, and the ambition in his chest was able to be displayed!
Lu Zhaojun is really unusual to speak, that little mouth is like smearing honey, and he said everything in my heart!
Although Nanyang Hou was still sad about the loss of his relatives, when he heard Empress Lu being so affectionate, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, thank you Queen!"
After saying that, he got up and stood up, and then looked at me with a smile, as excited as the reunion of old friends for many years!
I stretched out my hand and pulled him to sit down with me, and said to him with a smile: "This queen, as long as I am not by my side for a while, the palace maids will suffer!
Lu Zhaojun turned her head and glanced at me after hearing this, but she didn't say anything, she understood the truth!
Li Chengzu said with a smile: "The minister understands, the wife of the minister in the past..."! Li Chengzu put away his smile when he said this, his mood seemed a little low, he paused for a moment and continued: "When the wife of the minister was pregnant, she was also so irritable, it is normal, Your Majesty is more considerate!"
I smiled and nodded, reached out and touched Lu Zhaojun's arm, and then coaxed her to say, "Ai Fei, I have something to say to Nanyang Hou in private, you have to rest by yourself!"
"Oh!", Lu Zhaojun nodded again and again, waved goodbye to me without raising his head, and looked very generous!
I took Li Chengzu to a courtyard, and after sitting in the stone pavilion, I said to Li Chengzu: "Nanyang Hou is really my model of the Han Dynasty, and he should be worshipped!"
After speaking, I got up and bowed, but I was immediately supported by Li Chengzu, and he said movingly: "Your Majesty can't help it, this is the duty of the minister, and it is not enough to worry about it! The minister knows what His Majesty wants to say, his family has passed away, and the minister has already been relieved, Your Majesty does not have to worry too much!"
I shook my head and said, "No, I don't want to mention the sad things, what I want to talk to the Hou Ye today is a happy event!"
"Oh?", Li Chengzu asked with interest: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where does the joy come from?"
I smiled and asked, "Master Hou, what is my character as General Zhao Tiande, can I match Lord Hou's niece?"
Li Chengzu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground on half a knee and said: "Your Majesty's holy grace, how can He De, the niece of the minister, be worthy of the mighty general Zhao Tiande!"
I smiled and said: "This matter should be asked, the elders of the children are decided, if the Hou Ye also thinks it is good, then the matter will be decided as such! General Zhao has promised that I just owe him a good wife, and the Hou Ye's niece and niece are very satisfied, and it should be!"
Li Chengzu was overjoyed after hearing this, and thanked him again and again: "It's so good, the ministers can't ask for it, and Your Majesty's benefactors are unforgettable!"
I stretched out my hand to help him up, then pulled him into the seat together, and said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter! I still have a joy, I don't know if the Hou Ye is willing to listen?"
"Oh?", Li Chengzu was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Why is this happy? The minister came to Yongzhou today and it was not wrong, please tell your majesty to inform the minister quickly!"
I nodded, put away my smile, and comforted him very sadly, "Chengzu!"
Li Chengzu was very excited, and immediately got up and said, "The minister is here!"
...... , I motioned for him to sit down and speak, and then continued: "The man is ambitious in all directions, and he should be able to afford to put it down! Hou Ye is now alone, have you ever thought about marrying a wife again?"
Li Chengzu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, shook his head with a slight smile and said: "The sorrow of the minister is still there, and I dare not say anything about it for the time being!"
I stretched out my hand and grabbed Li Chengzu's arm, comforted him and said: "I feel deeply guilty about the misfortune of Chengzu's family, because I owe it to the Hou Ye! I have to fulfill this wish! I know that the depth of sorrow cannot be solved in one day! When we rush with joy and sorrow, the coming days will be long, and we must not be depressed!"
Li Chengzu nodded, raised his head and sighed, and said: "Hey, the sea of people is vast, where should I find a good wife, it's difficult! It is not easy for two sons and a daughter to be born, and it is not easy to raise and grow up.
After speaking, Li Chengzu lowered his head and kept sobbing, the hot-blooded man who once galloped on the field, but now he is crying because of the loss of his son, the hearts of parents all over the world, who doesn't know how painful his grief should be!
I nodded, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him and said: "The merits of Chengzu are known to the world, if the Han Dynasty can dominate Kyushu in the future, Nanyang Hou should be ranked first on the list of heroes of Qinglong Pavilion!"
Li Chengzu said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty!
I continued to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Nanyang Hou must not be too sad, the matter has come to this point, you should look ahead! Nanyang Hou is still young, it is not too late to marry another wife and have children, don't miss the good time because of sadness!"
Li Chengzu nodded and replied seriously: "Your Majesty's mind understands that the minister will regain his mood to handle this matter well, and will not let His Majesty worry too much!"
I smiled, then lowered my head and asked softly: "Dare to ask Brother Cheng, in the past, when I passed by Nanyang to propose marriage, Prime Minister Zuo was also by my side!
Li Chengzu frowned and asked, "Prime Minister Zuo, Lord Xiao is ......!"
I nodded and said: "Well, Xiao Qing is my Han Zhongliang, I remember his father's ambition in my heart, and I don't dare to marry if I don't take the Central Plains! Hey, I'm also anxious for her, how can this state affairs and family affairs be mixed together! Xiao Qing is also a peerless talent of my Han Dynasty, and it is no accident that she can be qualified for the post of Prime Minister Zuo, and her appearance is ......! Hehe, I still ask Hou Ye to comment, when I tell the truth, you and I are both confidants, and there is no need to hide it!"
Li Chengzu nodded, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Xiao Dacai is a high fighter, although he is a woman, but he is not inferior to any man! His ambition is admirable, his intention is fascinating, and his appearance and beauty are also not a problem, he should be the peerless beauty and talent of this world! After the former minister saw Lord Xiao, he immediately sighed, and he was very envious of the husband of Prime Minister Zuo, who had such a good wife, what more could the husband ask for! I never knew that Prime Minister Zuo had never married!"
Seeing that he was so serious, he probably ignored why I had to discuss Xiao Qing with him! I reminded him and asked, "If I intend to match the marriage between the two of you, can Cheng Zu be satisfied?"
Li Chengzu blushed, and he said very embarrassedly: "The minister once had a wife's room, and Lord Xiao is the prime minister, and he is still the person to be married in the boudoir." This... That doesn't seem right!"
I smiled and said, "Hey! How can Hou Ye speak so unfavorably, I will ask you, have you ever been satisfied with Prime Minister Zuo! Nanyang Hou will answer that he is satisfied, or not, then it will be fine! This matter should be decided by Nanyang Hou himself, how can I be far-fetched by Hou Ye!"
Li Chengzu coughed, thought about it carefully, and then asked tentatively: "The minister is naturally 10,000 satisfied, such a stunning beauty, the minister can't ask for it! It's just that Xiao Daren's popularity is so noble, how can he be willing to marry someone who has a family, this ...... , this is too wronged her!"
I smiled and said: "Hehe, the appearance of a talented woman is originally a match made in heaven! Nanyang Hou is the head of the Han Dynasty, and Prime Minister Zuo is the pillar of my Han Society, and the two of you are compatible, it is the will of God! Nanyang Hou suffered this catastrophe, perhaps it was arranged by God that the two of you were destined to reunite and grow old together! Nanyang Hou does not have to worry about Prime Minister Zuo, Zuo Cheng is also admirer of Nanyang Hou, I have already tested the meaning of Prime Minister Zuo for Nanyang Hou!"
After hearing this, Li Chengzu was overjoyed, and immediately got up and asked, "Your Majesty, is this true?" You must not force Lord Xiao, otherwise the minister will be uneasy, so it is better not to marry!"
I nodded and said, "Hehe, how can I be fake! You are both important ministers of my court, how can you favor one over the other! Without Lord Xiao's consent, how dare I mention this matter with Nanyang Hou, don't you be blamed by Xiao Qing for being mediocre?"
Li Chengzu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then raised his head and laughed.
Then Li Chengzu got up and respectfully bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you Your Majesty for your success, and the ministers will be grateful to Dade, and I will not forget Your Majesty's holy grace until I die!"
It seems that this Li Chengzu is very satisfied with Xiao Qing, in this way, this family business has become a big thing, and it can be regarded as a major event in my heart!
