Chapter 232: Secret Meeting
Now, Liu Heng only hopes that Dou Yifang can give birth to the child safely, and he didn't think about the rest of the matter. Because he didn't know what to do with Dou Yifang.
Counting it up, the day of Dou Yifang's labor is approaching, and Liu Heng really wants to see her.
This thought lingered in Liu Heng's mind, making it difficult for him to sleep.
In order to cheer himself up, he decided to do this, so he asked Wanquan to give him an idea of how to see Dou Yifang and not be recognized.
Wan Quan pondered for a while, and replied: "There is a way, but it is ......."
"Just what?"
He stopped talking, his brows furrowed, and he looked very embarrassed.
"You mean!" Liu Heng was anxious.
"To wronged the king to pretend to be a palace man......"
It is indeed unseemly for a dignified king to wear the clothes of a palace man. But as long as it doesn't get known, isn't it? Liu Heng held a fluke mentality and really pretended to be a small palace person.
On this day, he followed Wanquan and went to Meiziwu with a cart of winter materials.
On the way, he found that he was a little nervous, this nervousness, the feeling of a private meeting with a crusher.
When he came to Meiziwu, Danhe and duckweed came out to receive them, and let the palace people unload the goods, Liu Heng was among them, peeking at the situation in the palace while unloading.
"Where's Madame?" Wanquan asked.
"In the house, Madame has difficulty moving, so I can't go out to greet her." Tamhe replied.
"The king asked our family to visit his wife."
"Oh, slave maid, this will lead the way for my father-in-law, this is please."
Wan Quan glanced at Liu Heng, a member of the small palace, and motioned for Liu Heng to follow him. Liu Heng was afraid of being recognized, so he lowered his head and followed Wan Quan, and walked into the hall together.
"Madam, Grandpa Wan is here."
"Let him in! ……”
Wanquan walked in with Liu Heng.
"I've seen Madame." Perfect for the first way.
"Father-in-law Wan doesn't have to be polite." Dou Yifang said, "It's inconvenient for me to get up to greet me, and I hope my father-in-law doesn't care." ”
"It's easy to say......"
Liu Heng peeked at Dou Yifang, but saw Dou Yifang sitting on a chair, graceful and dignified.
Although the noodles are not powdered, there is another fresh and refined.
I haven't seen it for a long time, Dou Yifang made Liu Heng's eyes shine, no matter how you look at it now, Dou Yifang doesn't look like the kind of person who can do things that violate etiquette.
Suddenly, Dou Yifang frowned, holding her stomach as if she was in pain. Liu Heng's heart hung in the air, and he involuntarily took a step forward, wanting to go up and ask.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Dou Yifang smiling again, so he felt strange, and at the same time withdrew his foot first.
Wanquan noticed Liu Heng's actions, so he asked Dou Yifang where he was uncomfortable just now.
Dou Yifang shook his head and smiled: "It's the little guy in the belly who is restless and kicked me." ”
Liu Heng was relieved after hearing this, and his eyes also moved to Dou Yifang's abdomen, although Dou Yifang was wearing very thick, he could still see a slightly bulging abdomen.
He really wanted to put his ear to it and listen to what the kids inside were doing.
"If you're so naughty before you're born, you must be a prince." Wanquan Road.
"It doesn't matter if he's a prince or a princess...... Dou Yifang's eyes are full of love, "The most important thing is that he can be born peacefully and grow up healthy and happy." ”
Hearing her say this, Liu Heng suddenly had the urge to reveal his identity, but after thinking about it, he thought that he had driven Dou Yifang here.
Originally, it was already a loss of majesty to pretend to be a palace person to get up to visit, if Dou Yifang knew about it, wouldn't it be disgraced?
After thinking so, he was afraid of being recognized by Dou Yifang, so he secretly kicked his complete heel with his toes.
Wanquan understood, and after a few words of greeting with Dou Yifang, he proposed to leave. Dou Yifang did not stay, and let the light lotus send off the guests.
Liu Heng turned around and walked out first, Wan Quan immediately realized that the situation was not good, as far as the current situation was concerned, he was the master, and Liu Heng was the follower, so it should be him walking in front.
But now it's too late to remind him, and his rash words to stop Liu Heng are even more suspicious, so he can only pray that Dou Yifang didn't find this flaw.
Dou Yifang didn't care, but the blue clothes beside her noticed it, "That little palace person doesn't know anything, he actually dares to walk in front of the ten thousand palace people, it's too unruly!" ……”
After Lan Yi said this, Dou Yifang looked at the door, and just caught a glimpse of the back of the little palace person, and suddenly, she felt that which back was familiar.
She immediately remembered Liu Heng and got up from her chair. She just wanted to chase it out, but suddenly stopped. He smiled self-deprecatingly, how could Liu Heng come here.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Blue asked.
"Nothing." Dou Yifang said, "Help me go back to the room!" ……”
……
After going down the hill, Liu Heng sat in the carriage and thought about things.
I thought that I would be able to relax after seeing Dou Yifang and knowing that she was all right, but now the more I miss her, the more I want to be with her.
If there was no Yu Nianchu, how good would it be......
It was another snowy day, and Chang'an City was covered in silver, like an innocent woman, sitting quietly.
There is no bustle and hustle and bustle on weekdays, and even people who are busy making a living are silent, waiting for the guests to come to the door by themselves.
In the palace, it was the same quiet, but there was more solemnity in the quiet.
The air was so cold that it seemed to condense, and people became cautious in breathing, for fear that they would accidentally break the condensed air.
The emperor's body collapsed again......
Although the Queen Mother ordered not to talk about this time, it had already spread in private in the palace. The ministers of civil and military affairs have also smelled the upcoming political opportunities, and some have begun to gear up and be eager to try.
On the evening of that day, Taiwei Zhou Bo took his son Zhou Yafu to Chen Ping's mansion in the snow, because today was Chen Ping's birthday.
Chen Parallel is low-key, although he is a prime minister, his birthday is not extravagant, he only invited a few friends, and these friends are not court officials.
The banquet had begun, and Chen Pingzheng was drinking with his friends, when the butler arrived and told him that Zhou Bo, the chief lieutenant, had come to congratulate him on his birthday.
The smile on Chen Ping's face disappeared immediately, and he said to all his friends: "Everyone, Chen Ping thanks you for coming here to celebrate Ping's birthday." ”
He poured a full glass of wine, stood up and said, "There is something to do today, and I can't enjoy it, so I would like to apologize to you." ”
Everyone also raised their glasses with wine, and after drinking a glass of wine, Chen Ping asked the housekeeper to send the friends away from the back door, and at the same time asked Zhou Bo and his son to lead them to the study. He went back to his room and changed into clean clothes before going to meet him.
"My nephew has seen Uncle Shi, I wish Uncle Shi a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!" Zhou Yafu saluted and said, and then gave a birthday gift - a jar of old wine.
Chen Ping had the best sip, and he smiled at the moment and accepted it happily. The three guests sat down, and Zhou Bo asked, "Why are you so lonely on your birthday?" ”
Chen Ping said: "It's a cold day, and it's also a crime to let people come here, so why bother?" Besides, I don't like to be ...... busy."
Zhou Bo was skeptical of his words, but did not say it, "I came here today for two things, one is to congratulate you on your birthday, and the second is to talk to you about things in the palace. ”
"Oh......" Chen Ping replied indifferently, showing disinterested.
Zhou Boke didn't care whether he was interested or not, and continued: "Do you know that Your Majesty is sick again? ”
Chen Ping pretended to be surprised, "Didn't that Su ask Tang already cure His Majesty's illness?" Why did you get sick again? ”
Zhou Bo glanced at him, "You are still the prime minister of the imperial court, you don't know such a big thing?" ”
Chen Ping smiled bitterly, who doesn't know, he is just hanging the title of prime minister now.
"I still heard ......" Zhou Bo lowered his voice, "It is said that Your Majesty may not be able to do it this time......"
Chen Ping said with a straight face: "What do you mean by this tone?" ”
"Yesterday, Wang Ling came to me, wanting to win over a group of old ministers to take over the crown prince from the Queen Mother after His Majesty Yan Jia. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he weakened the power of the Lu family step by step. I'm here tonight to ask what you mean. ”
Chen Ping shook his head and sighed, "I can't do it......"
Zhou Bo said unhappily: "Don't we do anything?" ”
"It's not that you don't do ......"
"So what to do? Tell me about it. ”
"Hold still."
"When will it move?"
"I don't know ......"
Zhou Bo sighed indignantly, "What you said is the same as not saying it......"
Chen Ping closed his eyes and said indifferently: "Do you think the Queen Mother is really so easy to deal with?" Have you forgotten how the Marquis of Huaiyin and the King of Liang died? Xiao Xiangguo was in awe of her at the beginning, how do we compare these people? ”
Zhou Bo retorted wordlessly, spread his hands, and said, "Then you can't sit still!" ……”
Chen Ping was helpless and said: "Then let Yafu leave Beijing to defend outside, it is best to be in charge of one side of the army, in case of emergency." ”
Zhou Bo knew that he was a reckless man, and his intelligence was not as good as Chen Ping.
Therefore, although he knew nothing about Chen Ping's words, he was still willing to listen.
Zhou Yafu is different from him, this kid learns the art of war freely and knows it well, Zhou Bo is ashamed of himself, and believes that his achievements one day will be above himself.
It's also a good choice to let him go out early to practice.
After the discussion had a result, the Zhou father and son left the Chen Mansion, no, their whereabouts were always stared at by a pair of eyes......
The next day, Changle Palace.
At the beginning of the day after the snow, the plum blossoms in the back garden are in full bloom, and they look delicate under the soft winter sun. Empress Dowager Lu, accompanied by her grandmother, went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers.
She was in a good mood today, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sunshine.
Mama did not forget to flatter her last two sentences, praising her for her strong body and her ability to live a long life. Empress Dowager Lu was even more happy when she heard it.
At this time, the trial will see you.
Judging the food can be said to be the absolute henchman of the Queen Mother, entering and exiting the Changle Palace is like entering a no-man's land, and no one dares to stop her. Sometimes, Emperor Hui wants to see the Queen Mother and ask for instructions, and if you judge her, you can go directly to her.
There happened to be a pavilion in front of him, and Empress Dowager Lu pointed there. The palace ladies came to the pavilion in advance and placed the mats on the stone benches, and then the queen mother sat down. After a while, the palace people led the judge to her.
