Nineteen: Old Oath
Xiao Huangmen led the scolding back, immediately made a color, snatched the staff held by the palace people on the side, and hit Su Qiu's back with two sticks, Su Qiu spit out a mouthful of blood, and a pair of beautiful eyes closed without a god.
The door of the Immortal Hall opened from the inside, and Mrs. Qi, who was dressed in a green brocade robe of the lake, rushed out, with a beautiful face and a frightened expression, came to her female officer's side, and called, "Su Qiu," reached out to probe her snort, exclaimed, and turned around to look at Lu Hou angrily, "Lu Pheasant, you are too deceitful!" ”
Empress Lu ignored her, looked at the emperor who came out, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are finally willing to come out!" The expression was gentle and calm.
Under the gorgeous and cold moonlight of Changle Palace, two diametrically contradictory expressions showed her face at the same time as weird and harmonious.
"There are many people in this immortal palace, and if you refuse to come out, I will kill one; If you refuse to come out again, I'll give you a pair," she said in a mellow voice,
"At the end of the day, you always have to come out!"
Liu Bang gathered the big on his body and said lightly, "Now that I have come out, what does the queen want to say to me?" ”
Empress Lu's eyes looked left and right, "Your Majesty wants your concubine to say it in this big court?" ”
Liu Bang waved his hand, and the palace people in the Immortal Hall all retreated away with white faces like a tide.
"Yi'er," he said softly, "you go first and rest, and I'll go back later!" ”
"I don't, Your Majesty." Mrs. Qi raised her head, her face flushed, "The queen indiscriminately killed my female official, if Your Majesty can't stand up for me, how can my lady have half face in the palace in the future?" ”
"Go back!"
Mrs. Qi had never seen Liu Bang's face angrily scolding her, she was frightened, her pretty face turned slightly pale, she didn't dare to disobey Liu Bang's intentions, and said coquettishly, "Then, Your Majesty wants to come back earlier!" ”
The moonlight shone on the temple of the gods, cold as frost and snow.
Empress Lu asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember the old events of the third year of the Han Dynasty?" ”
"When the Chu army besieged Xingyang, the Han army went on a hunger strike, the situation was critical, I put on His Majesty's armor, led more than 2,000 women from the east gate, and led most of the pursuing troops for His Majesty. ”
"Yes," Liu Bang said lightly, "I promised you, so I made you the queen, Feng Ying'er was the prince, and I chose a good husband for Manhua, and I have fulfilled my promise!" ”
"But now you want to let Man Hua go to make peace," Lu Pheasant's voice was sad, "What kind of place is the Xiongnu, but you want to let Man Hua go to death, this is what you said to take good care of her for a lifetime?" ”
"What's wrong with the Huns?" Liu Bang said with a smile,
"Mao Dun is a generation of heroes, and no one in the world can match it except me. Ah Pheasant, don't you think that Zhang Ao has lost the throne now and his status is low, and he is not worthy of our Manhua? Look at how illustrious this new son-in-law I have chosen for you now, what are you not satisfied with? ”
"Shameless!" Lu Pheasant trembled angrily.
She slowly knelt down towards Liu Bang, pressing all her pride to the bottom of her heart, not looking at a blur of flesh and blood, before she could bend her straight back, "Liu Ji," the voice was desperate and humble,
"I beg you. …… I married you at the age of sixteen, gave birth to children for you, and worked hard for so many years, even if I have no merit, you should also remember me some hard work. I've never begged you, but now I'm begging you, let me go! Her voice was faint,
"Don't use up the last bit of our conjugal relationship!"
Liu Bang sighed, stepped down the steps and bent down to support Lu Hou.
Empress Lu was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally changed his mind.
"Pheasant,"
Liu Bang called his wife's nickname and said loudly, "Manhua is also my daughter, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, I would force her to marry the Huns?" You are a woman, you don't understand the major affairs of the DPRK and China, these years, between the Han and Chu years of war, the Central Plains national strength has long been exhausted, can no longer withstand the slightest toss, but the Xiongnu is the period of strong rise, often plundering my borders, I want a country with insufficient strength, want to make peace, how can it be peace? I had to do this kind of harmony, and my heart hurt very much! ”
Lu Hou's expression changed, "So, Your Majesty has made up your mind?" ”
Liu Bang stared at her eyes, "Manhua is the princess of the Great Han Yuan, and she should do her best for the country!" ”
"Don't you think about it!" Empress Lu sneered, "Manhua, the princess of Yuan, didn't enjoy much happiness, but suffered a lot because of it, and now you want to push her into the fire pit of the Huns, I will never agree!" ”
Liu Bang's face changed, and he flicked his sleeves, "The vertical is not enough and conspiracy!" He turned around and entered the Hall of Immortals.
The moonlight in Changle Palace is bleak and cold, falling in the court, it is a faint white, with a bit of coldness.
Lu Hou stood in place, wanting to smile sadly, but found that the corners of his lips were so jerky, so he looked up at the sky, and let Shuangxue cover the last trace of feminine tenderness under his eyes, and the rest was cold!
The sky gradually brightened, and Lu Yuan woke up from his slumber to find a small person lurking next to the red sandalwood carved couch, spreading out a green hair, like a black spring water pouring down.
"The princess is awake?" Tu Tu noticed her movement, stepped forward happily, and carefully helped her to sit up from the couch.
"Why is Ah Yan here?" Lu Yuan asked softly.
"The little lady has always been worried about the princess, and she must stay with her."
woke up Zhang Yan in the movement, rubbed her eyes and raised her head, and when she saw Lu Yuan, her eyes lit up, "A-Niang is awake!" A smile on his face.
Lu Yuan looked at her childish face, his heart was sour, he almost burst into tears, and said softly, "Silly girl, I don't know how to go back to sleep when I'm sleepy!" ”
"Do I want to accompany A-Niang!" Zhang Yan threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms and called, "Ah Niang," Lu Yuan's breath was soft, and he said softly, "Don't worry, you won't go to the Huns!" ”
The corners of Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he nodded the tip of her nose, "People are small and big, how do you know about this kind of thing?" ”
"Hey," Zhang Yan was short of words, and finally had to play tricks, "I just know!" ”
Yan'er woke up from the swaddling clothes, and suddenly cried, Cong Niang hugged him and coaxed, but the crying became more and more intense, Lu Yuan only felt that his heart was broken, and he hurriedly said, "Hold him to me!" He hugged his son from Cong Niang's hand and gently coaxed, "Oh, oh, Yan'er doesn't cry, A-Niang is here!" ”
"Princess," Cong Niang said cautiously, "I'm afraid that Xiao Shizi is hungry." ”
"Really?" Lu Yuan looked at Yan'er's sobbing appearance, his eyes showed a trace of pity and a hint of determination, turned around, and reached out to untie his clothes.
"Princess," Tutu's surprised voice came, "what are you doing here?" ”
The noblewomen of the Qin and Han dynasties regarded personally feeding their children as a matter of extremely depraved status, and those who had a little status would invite a nurse for their children. Lu Yuangui is the princess of Yuan, and she prepared a nurse as early as before giving birth, providing expensive food every day, just for the best care of the little son.
"Tutu," Lu Yuan looked up at his family order, his eyes were red, and said, "If I really go to the Huns, I'm afraid that I will never have the opportunity to see Yan'er in this life, I, who is a mother, want to feed him a mouthful of milk in person, can't I?" ”
Tu Tu was stunned, stood for a moment, sighed, gently retreated, and turned around to secretly wipe away tears.
So Lu Yuan unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a white chest.
Yan'er smelled the fragrance of milk, hurriedly stopped the tears, sipped it, and took a mouthful of **, Lu Yuan snorted in low pain, she has been drinking the anti-milk decoction after giving birth, at this time there is not much milk, Yan'er sucked hard, which made her faintly painful. The pain was so bad that he didn't want to let go of his son, and tears were pouring down his face.
Zhang Yan turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore - at this moment, there was silence in the east side hall, and the scene of mother and son embracing each other was so glorious and holy that people couldn't bear to look at it!
"Princess," the little palace man said outside the palace, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to see you!" ”
Lu Yuan covered his shirt and turned around and said, "Got it." Please wait for the prince, and I will go out at once. ”
She handed Yan'er to Cong Niang and hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out.
In the second room, Liu Ying sat on the couch, supported the small table with her hands, and fell asleep.
Lu Yuan stood in the hall, looking at his younger brother's haggard face, a burst of distress swelled up, and stepped forward to put a cloak on him and gently stroked his eyebrows.
Liu Ying woke up from her dream and called, "Sister." ”
"How old are they," Lu Yuan said softly, "It's time to marry a daughter-in-law next year, why are you still so ignorant." If you are sleepy, you should sleep well, do you want me to teach you this truth? ”
Liu Ying sighed, "It's all this time, how can I sleep?" ”
"These days, I begged my father to take back his life, but my father refused to let go. Sister's fate is undecided, I'm really-"
"Don't go to beg your father," Lu Yuan covered his mouth and didn't let him say any more, his smile was sad and cold,
"Our father is always ruthless, and you don't know it. Brother, my sister doesn't want you to beg him, my sister only asks you for one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I want to see Brother Ao."
Lu Yuan's tears fell, out of guilt for her husband, she has not dared to see Zhang Ao since she gave birth. Now I miss my husband to the bone. She hurriedly grabbed Liu Ying's hand, "Brother, I'm afraid that my father will stuff me into Heqin's convoy, and I will never see Brother Ao again in the future!" Brother, can you help me think of ideas and let me meet him? ”
Liu Ying was moved, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, sister, I will try to bring my brother-in-law into the palace, you can wait with peace of mind!" ”
The pear tree in front of the hall is lush and open, falling petals, and a colorful snow falls. Zhang Yan was dressed in a white curved skirt, standing under the tree, and the cloud pattern on the edge of the skirt was like a cloud on the edge of the sky.
"Ah Yan," Lu Yi hurried over, "Aunt Lu Yuan is okay, right?" ”
"A-Niang has woken up," Zhang Yan turned back with a smile and said, "I'm talking to Uncle Crown Prince now." ”
