Chapter 51: Two Things
The old lady was flattered, and her mouth was full of unacceptable words.
Huo Ze waved his hand and asked the entourage to hand over the sandalwood box and open it: "I heard that the old lady has a big birthday today, I specially asked someone to find the white jade Guanyin from the South China Sea and present it, and I hope the old lady will not dislike it." ”
"How dare you." The old lady steadied herself on crutches and sat down with Huo Ze.
Yue Xun and Huo Yan glanced at each other, Huo Yan shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't know why Huo Ze suddenly wanted to visit. After all, the Yuefu maid was inexperienced, and her hand holding the tea trembled, and Rou Yun was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she personally took the tea and handed it to Huo Ze.
Huo Ze took it, rubbed it lightly on the body of the cup with his hand, drank it all, and Rou Yun filled it for him again. After three or four drinks in a row, he stopped.
"I'm here today for two things." Huo Ze glanced at the people in the mansion and did not continue.
The old lady understood that she shouted to stop the stage and let them retreat, Guo saw this and went back with the child, Wei was a female dependent, and she also retreated, Jiang Mian was a guest in the house, and was led to the guest room by the maids.
Rou Yun arranged things properly and was about to retreat together, but was stopped by Huo Ze.
"Mrs. Yue stays."
Rou Yun didn't know why, but since the emperor said so, she could only stay in place.
Seeing that the people in the mansion were almost scattered, Huo Ze slowly spoke: "The first thing is that I have just ascended the throne, and I don't understand the reward of the harem, the old lady is the most experienced person in Beijing, can you solve my problems and confusion." ”
The old lady smiled when she heard this: "This is the emperor's family matter, how can you interfere as a courtier." ”
"State affairs are family affairs, family affairs are state affairs, and I just ask for advice, and I don't let the old lady make the decision, the old lady doesn't need to be pressured." Huo Ze knew that she would shirk it, and thought of a statement in advance.
"In that case, please speak to the emperor."
"The old lady also knows that now the concubines left by the former emperor, in addition to the unborn ones who were sent to the temple for practice, there are still four left, I don't know how to arrange these four."
The old lady quickly flashed those people in her mind, and pondered for a moment: "The queen is naturally named the queen mother, Your Majesty's biological mother is also the queen mother, and the other two can be named concubines." ”
Huo Ze nodded, signaled to listen, and then threw out a difficult question: "The old lady also knows that there was no precedent for the Queen Mother in the past, and there is only one Cining Palace, who should be allowed to live in?" ”
It turns out that this is Huo Ze's purpose, and now most of the court is his own wings, and they have already folded their hands and invited Empress Dowager Wen to enter Cining Palace, but Huo Ze still did not make other moves, he wanted to know whether the Yue family would continue to uphold the ancestral teachings or go with the flow in front of the imperial power.
It stands to reason that no matter how much the son-in-law succeeds to the throne, the ancestor must respect his mother as the queen mother and enter the Cining Palace. Where will Empress Dowager Xue be proud, Empress Dowager Wen is the emperor's biological mother, and she can't lose this face.
The old lady was entangled, no matter how she answered, she would offend people, if she supported Empress Dowager Xue to enter Cining Palace, then the emperor would definitely blame the Yue family and try to make it difficult; If you support Empress Dowager Wen to enter Cining Palace, you will violate the ancestral teachings and ruin the reputation of Yuefu.
"In my opinion, if you don't live in Cining Palace, you can either live in Cining Palace together." Rou Yun stood up and relieved the old lady of the siege, and her crisp voice attracted everyone's attention.
Huo Ze held the paper fan, propped up the table and looked at her with some interest, he smiled between his eyebrows, and raised his chin to signal her to continue.
Rou Yun first apologized for her recklessness, and then expressed her opinion: "Your Majesty is filial, so naturally he is reluctant to let Empress Dowager Wen be wronged, but the etiquette is in front, and the Empress Dowager Xue must not be cold." If the Empress Dowager Wen enters the Cining Palace, His Majesty will be regarded as a blatant violation of the ancestral teachings, and it will not be good to keep the history books at that time, so why not redivide the two palaces into the Empress Dowager Palace, a bowl of water is level, or expand the Cining Palace to live together. ”
Rou Yun knew that Huo Ze would most likely choose the first one, the expansion of the palace cost a huge amount, and Xue Wen and the two empress dowagers had always been at odds, so it was inevitable that they would look at each other and be annoyed when they lived together.
The old lady is even more impressed with Rou Yun, she can solve things without offending people, this method is really good.
Huo Ze knocked on the paper fan, secretly decided, and looked at Rou Yun, his eyes seemed to be a little uncertain.
"This second point." Huo Ze paused slightly: "King Rui is on the fold, the county lord of Xuancheng is already on his way to Beijing, and he will also enter Beijing to mourn the first emperor and the empress dowager after he finishes dealing with the matter at hand." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all guessed King Rui's thoughts, where did he come to mourn, he and Emperor Qi were already at odds, and now they advocate independently, and they enter Beijing without a call, I am afraid that they came with a purpose. As for this Xuancheng County Lord, Huo Yan glanced at Yue Xun, she had a deep affection for Yue Xun, this time, I am afraid that it will not have anything to do with him, that person is ruthless, I don't know what he will do.
Huo Ze saw that everyone didn't react, and directly said the purpose, he looked at Yue Xun and said: "I heard that the county lord has a deep affection for the general, and it was boiling in Beijing back then, if it weren't for the general's disability, I'm afraid that you would have already married and had children." ”
Although he said this to Yue Xun, his eyes glanced at Rou Yun's side, and Huo Yan also looked at Rou Yun, wanting to see her response.
Rou Yun smiled on the surface, but in fact, there were waves in her heart, how could she not care about this kind of thing. She remembered the rumors she had heard outside, the county lord of Xuancheng and the general could be described as a talented woman, a natural pair, General Yue had accompanied the county lord to go on a green trip, and had also taught her archery with his own hands.......
Yue Xun frowned, he didn't know why Huo Ze targeted him so much, he couldn't remember those old things for a long time, and he was innocent with Xuancheng, and he didn't have any feelings, it was more of a misinterpretation by outsiders. He looked at Rou Yun's calm and breezy appearance, in fact, he knew that she was already angry, and he wanted to explain, but he was preempted.
"It's already in the past, my husband doesn't remember it anymore, and I've seen people's hearts for a long time, since there are other arrangements in the heavens, why not live a good life now, besides, now I'm Mrs. Yue." Rou Yun was not afraid to meet Huo Ze's eyes, and declared her sovereignty with righteous words.
"What Mrs. Yue said is extremely true." Huo Ze smiled and was no longer embarrassed: "The county lord entered Beijing, and asked General Yue to welcome him at the Beijing gate in three days." ”
"Yes." The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, Yue Xun can't see through Huo Ze's thoughts, there is no need for him to greet him in person on such occasions.
Huo Ze stood up: "It's getting late, I'm back to the palace." ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." The crowd bowed down and saluted.
When Huo Yan passed by Yue Xun's side, he patted him on the shoulder and left with Emperor Zhao.
The old lady gasped and sat on the stool, having a good birthday, she experienced such a thing for no reason, this Emperor Zhao is also strange, looking for some topics that destroy the relationship, she quietly looked at Rou Yun, and saw that she was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that the county lord of Xuancheng had a heart for Xingzhi, but she had never liked such a girl's family in the deep city, but fortunately, Xingzhi was also respectful to her, and did not overstep the rules, but gossip is often harmful, and the two are made into a pair of lovers.
"Grandmother, I'll help you go back to rest." Rou Yun looked at the old lady with a tired face and came up to care.
"You've all worked hard, hurry up and go back and rest, just help me." After the old lady refused, she squeezed her eyebrows at Yue Xun, and she must explain clearly to coax people.
Seeing that the old lady was persistent, Rou Yun had no choice but to give up, and after bidding farewell to everyone, she returned to Changying Courtyard.
Yue Xun followed Rou Yun along the way, wondering in his heart whether she was angry or not, he followed Rou Yun, who knew that she was walking faster and faster, and slammed the door slammed on, and now it is certain that she was indeed angry.
He opened the door with a shy face, squeezed in, and saw his wife lying on the pear blossom wooden table on the couch, gently closing the door and walking over.
Dong Solstice and Canglan stood in the verandah, not knowing what was going on, but their intuition told them that it was better to retreat obediently and cause less trouble.
"Yun'er, angry?" Yue Xun squatted in front of her, pulling her sleeves, looking very pitiful.
Rou Yun pulled the sleeve of her shirt, don't turn her head and don't want him to touch it.
"Yun'er." Yue Xun repeated Fang Cai's movements.
Rou Yun sat upright angrily, and the jade hand pulled Yue Xun's collar closer, and the two faced each other, snorting thin on their faces.
"Take her to the green, teach archery by hand, Yue Xun you are so capable!" Rou Yun gritted her teeth and scolded angrily, she thought that if that didn't happen, then what Yue Xun did to her, would it be transferred to another person, he would also coax her, would she also linger with her, thinking of this, Rou Yun's heart was blocked, and it was very uncomfortable.
Yue Xun heard her call her by her name for the first time, and knew that she was now angry, so she coaxed patiently: "Good Yun'er, I can explain, listen to my explanation, madam." ”
Rou Yun let go of his collar and motioned for him to continue.
Yue Xun stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms, regardless of her struggles, and explained with his memory: "Take her to Qingqing, that's gossip, I accompanied my grandmother to the Buddhist temple to burn incense, I happened to meet the county lord, she got lost, I sent her to the door with my grandmother, as for teaching archery by hand, it is even more nonsense, but she took my bow and arrows, and I took it back from her." ”
That's too much difference, Rou Yun raised her head from his arms and confirmed again: "Really? ”
"Really." Seeing that she still didn't believe it, he raised his hand and made an oath: "I swear that if I have the slightest love for the county lord, then the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”
Rou Yun hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth: "I believe it, what kind of poisonous oath did you make." ”
"Not angry?" Yue Xun hugged her and kissed her sideburns.
"Angry." Rou Yun obediently leaned into his arms: "I'm angry that you didn't know me earlier, and it's not you and me who are angry that outsiders mention." She put her arms around Yue Xun's waist: "But if I go back to the beginning, it is impossible for me to know you in any case, let alone marry you." ”
Yue Xun patted her back like a child, and her voice was soft: "Believe it or not, if you go back to the past, as long as you have the opportunity to meet you, you will still be my wife Yue Xun." ”
Rou Yun raised her eyes and said in disbelief. Yue Xun picked her up and put her on the bed, and Rou Yun saw that his hand was not honest again, so she hurriedly grabbed and stopped her.
"Yun'er, give it to me." Yue Xun's hot eyes were unbearable.
"Yes, but in three days, I will go with you to the capital gate to welcome the county lord." Rou Yun didn't eat his set, and she didn't regress.
"If you don't mention it, I'll take you to prove my innocence."
Rou Yun received a satisfactory reply, so she let go of his hand and let him go.
