Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches Ninety: Licking Wounds
Zhang Yan shouted, "Uncle." There was panic in his voice.
At the same time, as she leaned back with all her might, the boy's lips brushed against her right cheek, and the smell of alcohol was mixed with a hint of sweetness, mixed with the heat of the boy's body, and filled between her mouth and nose. For a moment, his perception was particularly keen, and the tiny fluff on it could clearly feel the warmth of the boy's lips and the softness of feathers.
Liu Ying was full of excitement, and suddenly came to her senses, her eyes looked at the girl in her arms, she lowered her head, her body trembled slightly, delicate and moving, and there was a rouge mole on her left earlobe, which was bright red in color and slightly raised, which was very cute.
"Ah Yan." Liu Ying was startled and hurriedly pushed her away, "Why are you here?" ”
She staggered to a foot, looked up, and said, "Then I'll have to ask you, uncle." ”
She tried to say something righteous, but the scene of the right talent lingered in her heart, lingering, and the heat on her face kept burning, and finally she couldn't even raise her head. Liu Ying was also embarrassed, and there was no place to put it.
This unexpected change made the atmosphere between the two ambiguous and awkward. For a while, Zhang Yan was a little annoyed, a little wanted to cry, and a little wanted to stretch out her sleeves to wipe the marks on her face. In the end, he just sighed and asked softly, "Uncle is so self-defeating now, do you still remember what he said when he invited Shangshan Sihao?" ”
At that time, he was the time to have the ambition of the world, his mind was firm and his eyes were clear, and he talked eloquently in front of the Dongyuan Gong who had white hair, and said confidently, "The brilliant one is China, and the magnificent one is summer." ”
The one who said, "I only hope that the people will gradually become rich and happy, and that they will no longer suffer from the chaos of war." "Where's the boy?
Liu Ying's eyes showed a look of pain, and she said lightly, "Ah Yan, you are too young to understand." ”
"How do you know I don't understand?" Zhang Yan asked sharply. "Back then, Emperor Gao and the overlord of Western Chu competed for the world. How can he be invincible, how many dead are counted, if he is like you, he gives up as soon as he encounters a setback, and he will be surnamed Liu in this world? ”
"It's different."
"What's different?"
Liu Ying moved her legs and feet irritably, "If it is facing the enemy, no matter how many setbacks there are, I will not be afraid." But," his eyes showed a little weakness and confusion, "if that person is your mother-in-law." ”
His voice grew lower.
What can you do?
Because they are connected by blood, they can't give up or compromise. Can't deviate, can't ......
Can't face it.
He stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, "I will never be able to figure it out, and killing people is not too much, so it is necessary for her to be so ruthless?" ”
"Why?" Zhang Yan sneered and raised his voice. "Then you'll have to ask the Emperor."
"Ah Yan," Liu Ying was startled and reprimanded, "You must not be disrespectful to the first emperor." ”
"Rude?" Zhang Yan glanced at him, "Your Majesty probably forgot, as long as I feel reasonable." Even when the first emperor was alive, I dared to speak in front of him. And today, the Queen Mother and Mrs. Qi have come to such a tragic point, I have to say. At that time, the first emperor also had to pay half of the responsibility. ”
"You are guilty of sin."
"Hehe," Zhang Yan shook her head with a smile, "Your Majesty is a man, so I don't understand what women are thinking." As the old saying goes, 'Qi family.' Governing the country and leveling the world. The first emperor did an excellent job in the latter two. On the other hand, above the Qi family, the water was uneven, so the root cause was planted. The first emperor favored Mrs. Qi, so he allowed her to provoke the queen, and even ....... If he is really good for Mrs. Qi, he should teach her how to advance and retreat, and know the difference between things and things. Many times, the family is like a country, and a husband needs to have a balanced way. ”
"According to what you say," Liu Ying said with a wry smile, "Isn't it too hard for a husband to be conscientious in his own home, and he can't do as he pleases?" ”
"It's not as hard as a woman." Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Or, in your eyes, women are just a pastime, and you don't have to care about their joys, sorrows, and sorrows?" She looked at the messy couch, "Your Majesty, do you remember the woman who lay on this couch last night, what is her name and what does she look like?" ”
"This-" Liu Ying was really embarrassed this time.
"So," she pursed, lowering her voice softly, "man, it's all like that. On the one hand, it is painful to not understand the women who are mistaken by the grievances of the previous generation, and on the other hand, it is creating the pain of other women. ”
"Ah Yan," Liu Ying was annoyed and ashamed, and defended, "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is common to summon palace maids to sleep. ”
And for the young palace maids in Weiyang Palace, it is also an honor to be favored by the emperor.
"But those palace maids are also human beings," Zhang Yan said-for-tat, "They also have feelings, which are common things for you, and for them, they have to pay a lifetime price." And uncle, you can't even remember their names, don't you think it's cruel? ”
"Alright, alright." I don't know if it's because I've never thought too much about it from this perspective, or because I'm uncomfortable talking about it with my young niece, Liu Yingban said with a face, "Don't talk about this." Did the Queen Mother ask you to come? ”
He smiled bitterly and buried his face deep in his palm, "I have already given her everything she wants, what else does she want to do?" The voice was full of disgust.
Zhang Yan looked up at him, "Do you know what the Queen Mother wants to do again?" ”
"It's just a struggle for power."
Mother likes to play with power, she always wants all personnel to run in an orderly manner under her control, and she can't tolerate a little unsatisfactory, even if that person is her son.
"Not really." Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "At least, it's not just like that. "Of course, Empress Lu likes power, but there is no woman who doesn't care about emotions, even if that woman is the strong, iron-blooded Empress Lu. Hardness and softness are the two sides of Lu Hou, and without one of them, she cannot constitute a complete her.
"Uncle," Zhang Yan suddenly thought, "what are you angry about?" - Was Mrs. Qi Qi innocent and tragic, or did the Empress Dowager Qi just promise you, but turned her head and immediately broke the promise? ”
Liu Ying was stunned.
He really didn't understand his mother.
It's not really as hypocritical as Zhang Yan said, he is indeed full of forbearance and sympathy for Mrs. Qi's tragic death, but in this forbearance and sympathy, he asked himself, how much anger comes from disappointment in his mother?
Under the strength of his mother, he had already made concessions. Why, my mother still refuses to forgive. made promises to him again and again, but gave up lightly after turning around, as if there was no such thing as his son in his heart.
"Look," Zhang Yan looked at him, her eyes were a little transparent, "Your Majesty is punishing yourself, and then making the Queen Mother sad, so as to take revenge on the Queen Mother." But such a majesty also knows that the Queen Mother loves you. She's going to be sad, isn't she? ”
"It's not." Liu Ying laughed for a while, why did he carry an unbreakable heart knot. In her mouth, it's like a child's house wine, making a fuss about it.
"Ah Yan, that's not the case." He looked at the girl and said solemnly, not noticing for a moment that he had regarded this ten-year-old niece who he had always thought of as a child as an object where he could exchange his thoughts and thoughts on an equal footing. "I ...... I just, suddenly, I feel that this big man, with or without me, is the same. I desperately tried to protect Ruyi, but in the end I died. I hope that Mrs. Qi can live in peace. But the Queen Mother ignored my wishes. His voice was slightly confused, "If, I can't even protect the people around me." So, how can I talk about protecting this country and its people? In fact, even without me as the emperor, all state affairs would still go on as usual. The civil and military officials have their own positions. And the queen mother was able to rule them very well. ”
"So," he whispered. "What do I, the emperor, do?" The light of heaven cast a sparse back behind him.
"That's not the case." Zhang Yan hugged the young man's not thick body from behind and said excitedly.
"Ah Yan?" Liu Ying was a little surprised, and reached out to take away her soft, but the girl put half of her cheek on his shoulder and sobbed, "Who said that uncle can't protect people." Do you know that your existence is a kind of protection for us. ”
"Because of you, the Queen Mother is the rightful Queen Mother. The eldest princess is the eldest princess of glory and dignity. If you're not there, maybe, we're nothing. Orphans and widows are deceived. You have also seen that the first emperor died, and what happened to Mrs. Qi and Ruyi. If you die young, maybe it's our future. - When a man is alive, he can not do anything, but at least he must protect his mother, wife and descendants. Don't you want the Queen Mother and Mother to be bullied behind you? ”
"And," her voice grew a little colder, whispering in a voice that only he could hear, "if you want to be a firm and fearless protector, you must first become stronger. ”
Only by making yourself grow strong enough can you truly implement your wishes. In many cases, your loved ones mean your opponents at the same time. Why can she enter this dormitory unimpeded, because in the two palaces, the authority of the Empress Dowager Lu is too strong.
This is not a good thing for Liu Ying.
Before he ascended the throne as emperor, in the eyes of the world, Empress Lu and the crown prince were one, and their interests were completely consistent in maintaining Lu Pheasant's position in the middle palace and Liu Ying's position as the crown prince. Even if Empress Lu is stronger, there is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, it can make up for the shortcomings in Liu Ying's personality.
However, after Liu Ying ascended the throne, it was completely different. A strong queen mother will inevitably detract from the majesty of the emperor to some extent. Not to mention anything else, when Liu Ying showed obvious intention to protect her, the Queen Mother's subordinates were still able to enter the Xuan Room in a grand manner and kill Ruyi. This at least shows that in the Weiyang Palace where the emperor lives, the palace people are more afraid of the Empress Dowager Lu than the young emperor.
Liu Ying's body shook slightly.
After a long time, Liu Yingfang said lightly, "Is it necessary for me to protect such a strong person as the queen mother?" ”
Zhang Yan burst into tears and laughed, "Yes." If you don't believe me, ask her. ”
Even if it was just for her son, Empress Lu had to nod.
The former head of the Imperial Palace, Gonggong Liu, personally sent Zhang Yan out of the palace, "Thank you Mrs. Zhang." He coughed, and whispered through the use of gestures.
"You're welcome." She smiled faintly. "Uncle," she whispered with a nostalgic look in her eyes, "and once woke me up." ”
She was talking about the night when she was in Liyi, by the Lishui at night, and the night when the river lights were blurred.
Chang Lu didn't know about this past, and his eyes were a little dazed.
Near the east gate, passing by the Lang official office from afar, a group of several men in Lang official costumes entered the palace, and said from afar, "Han Gonggong is good." ”
Chang Xiao nodded.
One of them, a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was handsome and slightly childish, and had a slender figure.
Under Zhang Yan's curious gaze, his face flushed slightly, and he said, "Hong Ru has seen Mrs. Zhang." ”
This name made Zhang Yan's heart chuckle.
I don't count the word count divider****************
Does this count as my Xiaoyan's first kiss? Tangled.
I've always believed that subtlety is more beautiful than explicit. For example, this feeling of imminence is more sparkling than a spicy French kiss. Ambiguity is the best catalyst, and it is still very clear.
The following is the unified time for answering readers' questions:
1. Is the male protagonist of this article decided?
In fact, I should have seen it now, it was our uncle. Wolf friends who like this pair can howl. As for those who say that they can't accept the love of their uncles and nephews, then they are not in a hurry, in view of the period of the crackdown, I will not blatantly advocate chaos, so, I have my own arrangements later. (It's just a wall grass, trying to please both sides.) Kick flying. )
2. Does the book's storyline follow history?
No. Just look at "The Golden House" and know that I have no respect for history (in the scope of writing). As for the current plot is not much different from history, it is because of the limitations of the outline, and I need to provoke conflicts between Emperor Hui and Empress Lu's mother and son.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Qi.
3. I don't dare to watch the tragedy, may I ask if "Han Yanhua" is a tragedy?
Again, this is not a tragic story. Actually, I originally conceived this story because I wanted to describe the details of the warmth of the husband and wife, but since I didn't even get married, I didn't even want to write about it yet. Tears run.
I would like to guarantee that the ending is HE, and there will be at least a relatively happy ending, so my Xiaoyan will not be so pitiful as a virgin at the end of her life, so please rest assured to jump.
4. Who is Meng Ying, who ranks second in the keywords of the work?
Ahem, he/she is my bad taste.,At the moment, the name hasn't officially appeared.,The official appearance should be about ten chapters later.。 When the time comes, I hope you don't hit me with rotten eggs.
5. The plot develops too slowly.
Well, repentance, it's true that the beginning is too slow. However, the story will get better and better. And now, it's almost there. I promise.
Also, there is a person who is not a heavy character but will be very ...... of the characters. Children's shoes that know a little bit about Han history should know what I mean.
Hongru children's shoes have appeared, will the dog's blood be far away?

Bow and exit.
