Chapter 0365: Sister, Help Me?
"Xuanping Marquis Ao, see Your Majesty~"
When Liu Ying took Zhang Yan and arrived outside the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in Shangguanli, Zhang Ao, the national abbot, was already waiting outside the main gate.
Seeing that Liu Ying took the lead in stepping down from the imperial chariot, Zhang Ao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
When Zhang Yan's figure appeared behind Liu Ying, Zhang Ao's brows immediately swelled with a touch of gentleness and warmth.
"Meet the Queen······"
"Eh~"
"Xuanping Hou, why bother?"
Without waiting for Zhang Ao's words of worship, he saw Liu Ying step forward with a smile and help Zhang Ao up.
"If it's not in the palace, there are no outsiders, why pay attention to such a false courtesy?"
After saying that, Liu Ying turned around with a smile again, nodded slightly to the smiling queen Zhang Yan behind her, and then walked into the mansion by herself.
And behind Liu Ying, Zhang Ao finally seized the opportunity, let go of Zhang Yan's side a little, and told the thoughts in his heart.
After a while, Liu Ying had already walked into the house and came to the outside of her sister Liu Le's bedroom;
When she saw her ruddy sister Liu Le walking out of the bedroom, her face was slightly stiff and she saluted herself, and Liu Ying couldn't help but smile a little.
Quite embarrassed and stiff laughed twice, and when Zhang Ao and Zhang Yan's father and daughter also followed, Liu Ying could be regarded as reorganizing the expression on her face, and smiled and bowed her hand to Liu Le.
"Hearing that the eldest sister was lying on the couch, Ji was quite uneasy;"
"And just ignore it today, carry the queen, and visit ······"
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Le's expression only became more and more stiff, and for a while, he didn't know how to face Liu Ying.
In the end, it was Zhang Ao who stood up and led Zhang Yan to the guest hall on the grounds of 'not catching up with the queen for a long time';
And Liu Ying, but Liu Le, the sister who was 'sick and lying on the couch', was introduced into the side hall next to the bedroom······
·
Sitting opposite each other in the east and west guest seats, and staring at each other without saying a word for a long time, Liu Ying's brows gradually swelled with a touch of self-deprecation.
Liu Ying understands why her sister Liu Le is 'sick on the couch' when she brought Zhang Yan to the door today, and why she is stiff and can't say a word at this moment.
- In the final analysis, it is the relationship between the two siblings, which really makes people don't know how to deal with it.
It stands to reason that Liu Le and Liu Ying, both sisters and brothers, were born by the former emperor Liu Bang and the current empress dowager Lu Pheasant, with the same father and mother, and belong to the absolute sense of 'siblings'.
Over the years, the two have always gotten along with each other as sister-brother relationships, although they are not very close, but they are quite relaxed in the end.
But now, in addition to the 'sister-brother' blood relationship, the two also have an additional layer of 'father-in-law' in-law relationship, and these two layers of relationship are still generations apart!
Coupled with a 'monarch-minister' relationship, it also makes the two of them quite a bit of cutting and messing······
According to the sister-brother relationship, Liu Le is the sister and Liu Ying is the younger brother, so they should be sisters and brothers;
According to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Liu Ying is the king, Liu Le is the minister, and he should be the gentleman and the minister;
There is a relationship between these two layers of inverted status, and it is already a little difficult to deal with the two, but it can always be resolved in front of the way of 'discussing the monarch and the minister externally, and discussing the sister Ji internally'.
After all, within the royal family, especially in today's situation where the son of heaven is young, similar status inversion relationships are not common.
For example, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, is Liu Ying's uncle in terms of blood;
Liu Fei, the king of Qi, is Liu Ying's eldest brother.
For these people, Liu Ying can always deal with them properly with the tacit understanding of 'I call you uncle/brother, you call me Your Majesty'.
- After all, Liu Ying shouted an uncle/brother, and Liu Jiao and Liu Fei didn't dare to take it seriously.
But between Liu Ying and Liu Le, on this basis, the status of the upper layer of the family is inverted again, and the relationship with the 'sister-brother' is inferior to the 'father-in-law' relationship······
This is no longer a question that can be solved by what to say from the outside, how to say it from the inside, or what to say from the outside.
Let's take a very simple example.
In the past, Liu Le and Liu Ying were sisters and brothers, and they were also monarchs and ministers;
In this case, the relationship between the two can be judged according to the occasion.
In private, or in front of the family, especially in front of the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, the two of them can get along with each other as a brother and a sister as me, and they are happy and harmonious;
When it came to a formal occasion, or when an outsider was there, and then wronged Liu Le and called Liu Ying 'Your Majesty', Liu Ying immediately put on a posture of 'What did my sister say', and no one could find fault with it.
But after adding a layer of 'father-in-law' relationship, even the way of dividing the occasion can no longer solve the problem.
- In private, should Liu Ying call Liu Le's sister, or her mother-in-law, or even her mother?
In public, should Liu Ying hold up the emperor's shelf, or pose as a son-in-law?
Even, in private, when only the two of them were present, what kind of name should Liu Ying use to show her attitude towards Liu Le and maintain the family relationship between herself and Liu Le?
Obviously, this is no longer just a matter of title or ritual order;
It's as if it has already involved human relations!
- This sister is not a sister, and the mother-in-law is not the mother-in-law, what is the matter······
To put it bluntly, for the relationship between the two, not only Liu Le doesn't know how to deal with himself, but even Liu Ying is quite distressed.
But even so, Liu Ying still boarded the gate of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion today.
Because Liu Ying knows that this matter can only and must be taken by herself.
If Liu Ying doesn't take the initiative to stand up and straighten out the twists and turns, then there will be no one in the world who can clarify the complicated relationship between the two sisters and brothers······
"Sister."
A low light cry can be regarded as setting the tone for the relationship between the two, and Liu Ying looked at Liu Le's gaze, which immediately brought a touch of seriousness.
Seeing this, Liu Le also came to his senses, so he turned his head sideways first and looked at the maidservant beside him.
After a while, in the side hall, only Liu Le and Liu Ying's sisters and brothers sat looking at each other, and the embarrassed look between Liu Le's eyebrows was gradually replaced by a touch of firmness.
It's just that Liu Ying was a little surprised: it was Liu Le who spoke first······
"Your Majesty's big wedding to marry Zhang's daughter is the decision of the queen mother."
"Is Your Majesty willing to do this?"
After saying a word indifferently, he saw Liu Le's brows furrowed immediately, but when he looked at Liu Ying's gaze, he suddenly dodged a little.
When he asked this question, Liu Le's heart could be described as mixed.
Once upon a time, Liu Le was the eldest sister of the sons of the former emperor Liu Bang, and the sister of the current King of Qi, Liu Fei, the King of Huainan, Liu Ruyi, and Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven in front of him, who were extremely respected, like a father and a mother.
Especially Liu Ying, as Liu Le's only brother with one mother, the emotion between him and Liu Le is far from being dissipated by the title of 'Your Majesty'.
——In the second year of the Han Dynasty, in the first battle of Pengcheng of Chu and Han, Liu Bang, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, was defeated, and more than 500,000 troops collapsed!
And everyone in the world only knows: On the way to escape, the former emperor Liu Bang kicked Liu Ying off the carriage more than once, but he didn't know that Liu Le, the eldest princess of the dynasty, was kicked out of the carriage together;
At that time, Liu Ying was only five years old, but Liu Le was already thirteen years old.
For the incident back then, Liu Ying may only have some residual memories, but for Liu Le, that incident is a pain that he will never forget in his life.
Liu Le still clearly remembers how ruthless and decisive his father was when he kicked himself out of the carriage;
And even when his younger brother Liu Ying fell off the carriage, he still didn't forget to protect himself with his body.
Liu Le asked Liu Ying later: Why did you do this?
Liu Ying's answer is: With his father and queen mother, Ji is disabled, and he can always be rich and noble for life;
But if my sister's daughter breaks her body, it will be difficult to marry in the future······
Since then, in Liu Le's heart, there is no longer a father named 'Liu Bang', but there is an extra brother who is obviously younger than himself, but he always feels warm and reassured.
After that, his father Liu Bang wanted to marry himself to the Xiongnu, but fortunately he failed in the end;
Soon after, Zhang Ao, the second king of Zhao, who had not yet been demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, became the person in Liu Le's fate.
Every time he thinks of these, Liu Le always can't prevent the warm pictures from appearing in his mind like a marquee.
——When the first emperor Liu Bang wanted to marry Liu Le to the Huns, the world only saw that the queen Lu Pheasant was furious, put on a posture of fried hen, spread her wings, and protected Liu Le behind her!
But no one noticed that by Liu Le's side, the eight-year-old crown prince Liu Ying had already bared his teeth for his sister Liu Le, and prepared a satirical letter that was likely to be abolished at the cost of the storage position, but it was likely to be useless in the end······
When Liu Le married Zhang Ao and became the queen of Zhao, the world only saw the first emperor Liu Bang scolding and scolding, and the queen Lu Pheasant cried with joy, but did not notice that the eight-year-old crown prince Liu Ying sent someone to send a heavy gift to Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, and asked Zhang Ao to 'treat the orphan sister well'.
And when Zhang Ao was suspected of 'rebellion', was deprived of the title of King of Zhao, and was demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, in the entire Chang'an court, they were afraid that this family would not be timely, and it was the prince Liu Ying who stood up and said with great joy: It is a good thing that my sister can live in Chang'an for a long time, it is a good thing······
Thinking of this, Liu Le didn't know when he had a little tear on his face;
Recalling this incident, one past event, and thinking of Fang Cai, Liu Ying looked at him with a lingering look of embarrassment, Liu Le only felt that he was not worthy of such a younger brother as Liu Ying at all······
In the opposite seat of Liu Le, looking at her sister's increasingly self-blaming face, Liu Ying finally let go of the awkwardness in her heart and sighed with feeling.
"Sister just asked bluntly, Ji, it's not easy to hide it anymore."
When he said a word in a low tone, he saw Liu Ying shaking his head with a wry smile, and then looked up at Liu Le very solemnly.
"Although Yan'er is not born to a sister, she is also a sister's daughter; He lost his mother since he was a child and was raised under his sister's knees. ”
"Yu Yan'er's temperament, Ji, there is nothing to worry about."
"And in the past, my father treated my sister a lot, and Yan'er entered the main pepper room, and the queen mother wanted to make up for it with my sister."
As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn't help but stop talking for a while, and let out a light sigh again.
"This is also the meaning of the season······"
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Le only felt that tears flowed out of his eyes, and suddenly became more violent, which provoked Liu Le to hurriedly cover the bottom of his mouth with his hands and bow his head and sob.
saw Liu Yingwen smile, got up from the seat and stepped forward, and sat in front of Liu Le across the desk.
"Sister, don't worry."
"Yu Yan'er, Ji Xin is very happy; Marriage as a wife is also the wish of the season. ”
"Besides, this is a matter of kissing and kissing, so that my sister Ji will be more and more close, Ji can taste what she wants, and the queen mother will compensate her sister and ask for peace of mind."
"Therefore, in the future, my sister doesn't have to worry about this matter, just wait for the season in the same way as before, and Ji will not be very happy······"
Listening to Liu Ying's gentle persuasion, Liu Le was still silent in a sad mood and couldn't extricate himself, only covering his mouth and shaking his head, his face full of self-blame.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ying finally smiled helplessly, and immediately pretended to get up, putting on a posture of wanting a big gift and failing miserably.
"If my sister doesn't want Ji to be like this, Ji will pay a big salute to ask my grandmother for her ······."
"No!"
was so provoked by Liu Ying, he finally made Liu Le hum and raise his head, and said no, and jumped up from his seat like a spring!
Standing up at a loss, and was about to step forward to help, but when she saw Liu Ying looking at her, when she was full of banter, Liu Le, the princess of Luyuan, finally broke into tears and laughed.
"Whew!"
"They are already husbands who stand up to the sky, and they are still so ······"
Halfway through the words, the word 'caressing' was stuck in Liu Le's mouth like a lock, and he couldn't say it for a long time.
But the embarrassment between the sister and brother also dissipated on this magnificent side hall with Liu Le's sneer······
"Even if you come in person, you will say it bluntly, right?"
"But Yan'er cried all day long in the palace, so that the royal chariot went out of Sima, and even Shang Guanli?"
Hearing Liu Le's arrogant and slightly ridiculous tone, Liu Ying only breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
When Liu Le took the initiative to ask, Liu Ying simply stopped beating around the bush, only hurriedly lifted Liu Le's arm, smiled and sent Liu Le to the top position, and sat down on his knees.
"As the saying goes: the parents of the person who gave birth to me, and the one who knows me is like the eldest sister!"
"Come, sister, drink tea, drink tea······"
casually and slightly flattering Liu Le was helped to the position to do a good job, and handed the tea bowl to Liu Le with flattery, Liu Ying learned to remember the appearance of "herself" in the past, and smirked at Liu Le.
"Sister."
"There is one thing, Ji, but there is really no other way, only Sister Lao can solve this dilemma······"
The words of pretending to be distressed unsurprisingly caused Liu Le to shake his head and chuckle, and Liu Ying smiled cooperatively, and finally put the purpose of his visit today in front of his sister Liu Le.
"Sister."
"Some time ago, the queen mother summoned Ji to Changle, and in her words, Yu Ji Ke was quite 'dissatisfied'······"
"The queen mother said that the eldest son of the emperor is getting older, and the pepper house has been established; If the pepper room has not come out for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be discussions, and even shake the society······"
Seeing Liu Ying's expression depressed, Liu Le couldn't help but hide the banter on his face a little, and muttered thoughtfully for a moment before raising his head slightly hesitantly.
"According to Your Majesty's wishes·······"
"What should I do about this?"
But when Liu Ying heard this, she only hurriedly sat down next to Liu Le, and between her eyebrows, there was a hint of urgency!
"Ji Yuyi: The emperor's eldest son has no mother, and he is still young, so he will be said by his sister to enter the palace to persuade his mother to be gracious, and succeed the emperor's eldest son Yu Yan'er!"
"When you are a few years old, the society is a little safer, and Yan'er is a little older, it's not too late to find the 'result' of the pepper house?"
said these words sincerely, and saw the hesitation between Liu Le's eyebrows, Liu Ying's heart was anxious, and she couldn't help but pat her thigh.
"Alas!"
"Sister!"
"Yan'er, but Fang is nine years old!!"
"Ji Zong is a brute beast, and he will not ·······"
"Nor will it be like this!!!!!"
