Empress Lu put down the cup in her hand and said with a smile, "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and the envoy may wish to rest in the Chang'an Barbarian Pavilion for a few days." The customs of Chang'an are by no means different from those of the Han Dynasty, and there is a lot of excitement in the East Market after the year. ”

"Queen Mother," Su Mo exclaimed, "your hand." ”

The green-eared cup placed on the white jade glass case was dyed with a faint blood color on the rim.

Empress Lu snorted, stretched out her hand, and let the frightened Su Mo bandage her, and said resentfully, "Liu Jing, the old man, it was not enough to harm my Manhua back then, this time I came to harm the grandson of the mourning family, and the mourning family will definitely not let you go." ”

After the death of Emperor Gao, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Lu resented Liu Jing's proposal to use the old things of the eldest princess of Lu Yuan and the pro-Xiongnu, and found an excuse to remove Liu Jing from his post, deprive the Marquis of Xin, and take away the 2,000 households given by Liu Bang.

"Order Changle Hu to escort Fan Yan and Liu Jing to the mourning family."

When Liu Jing staggered into the Changle Hall by Fan Yan, Empress Lu sat on the hall, squinting at this courtier whom she once resented.

Since Liu Jingwei sent an envoy to the Xiongnu in the ninth year of the Han Dynasty, six years have passed. The years of wind and frost and frustration have sharpened the capable middle-aged man six years ago into the old man in front of him with old clothes and a stiff back.

Seeing Liu Jing like this, Empress Lu felt a burst of relief in her heart, and walked down the steps of the hall with Su Mo's hand, "Liu Jing, are you guilty?" ”

Liu Jing raised his head, only a pair of shining eyes, which had not faded in the washing of time, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." ”

"Yo," Empress Lu laughed angrily, "Are you still wronged?" The mourning family asked you, a few days ago, the Xiongnu envoy came to Beijing and talked about the envoy of the year. Lord Liu, you and Mao Dun Shan Yu made a private agreement, and promised the daughter of the eldest princess to Mo Dun Shan Yu. ”

This time, Liu Jing was silent for a long time, and his face was a little dazed.

He remembered the story of the ninth year of the Han Dynasty:

In Shan Yu's royal tent, Mao Dun and the Xiongnu nobles looked at each other and grinned.

He was impatient in his heart, and suddenly had a plan, and said angrily, "If you attach so much importance to the bloodline of my Han Emperor, I have a way." ”

"Oh?" Mao Dun poured a sip of wine.

"The eldest princess has a daughter. A single name and a Yan character, six years old, is very beautiful. And very smart and clever. She is the granddaughter of my Han Emperor, her status is noble, and when she grows up, she can ask the Han Emperor to marry, and my Majesty will obey her. ”

"Oh?" Maudon stopped drinking. looked at Liu Jing with interest, "This ...... Ah Yan, is it really as beautiful as you say? ”

"Yes." Liu Jing bowed, "I don't know anything." Zhang Niangzi's father, so King Zhao is a famous beautiful man in the Han Dynasty, because of this. When Princess Lu Yuan chose a son-in-law, she admired him. And Mrs. Zhang's appearance follows her father's, so she is naturally unparalleled in the country. Jing had the privilege of seeing her once before coming to the Xiongnu. Although he is young, he can see that his complexion is bright and compelling. ”

After a clever speech, he finally said that he suddenly moved. Liu Jing took the opportunity to say again, "It's just that Mrs. Zhang is too young, and she still needs to wait patiently for several years." My eldest man has another beautiful and gentle woman. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was willing to treat her with the courtesy of the eldest princess and pro-Xiongnu. Serve Shan Yu. ”

……

"Yes." Liu Jing raised his head.

"That's what happened."

"Liu Jing." Empress Lu was furious, "You are a bully." Don't you think you're going too far? Ah Yan was only six years old at the time, a six-year-old child, how could you bear it if you trapped her to such a point? ”

Liu Jing knelt down at the bottom of the stairs with a bang, and said proudly, "After the minister came back from the Xiongnu, he told the first emperor that there was no intention of deceiving." In any case, for the Han Dynasty, it was the best policy to maintain a temporary peace with the Xiongnu through peace. Yu privately, the minister can't live with the eldest princess and Zhang Niangzi, but Yu Gong and the minister think that they are worthy of admiration, and this heart can learn from heaven and earth. ”

"Oh, do you think that by getting involved with the first emperor, you can be exempted from your sins?" Lu Houshang smiled more and more brightly, but his voice was cold, "The first emperor has passed away, and there is no proof of death, no one knows whether what you said is true or false." Moreover, Liu Jing——, are you really dedicated to the country, and you have no public or private body, only you know? ”

"You ask yourself, do you really have no desire to sell your reputation when you advocate for peace and kinship?"

Liu Jing trembled, his face turned slightly pale, and he heard the Queen Mother raise her voice and call, "Come on, lock Liu Jing up in the court lieutenant and ask for beheading on a certain day." ”

"Although Liu Jing is at fault, he is not guilty."

On the second day, Liu Ying went to Changle Palace and pleaded in front of Empress Lu.

"Oh," Empress Lu said with a smile, "You used to protect Liu Jing, if it weren't for Your Majesty, the Mourning family would have beheaded that old man a long time ago." Could it be that His Majesty thinks that he should marry Xiao Ayan to the bad old man of the Huns according to his wishes? ”

"Of course not." Liu Ying's jaw tightened into an arc, "I won't see Ah Yan suffer this fate. It's just that I still think that the emperor does not harm the public because of his private affairs, and Liu Jing is no longer right, he is still a public heart for the country. He is a capable official, and it is a fault that he cannot use it because of things. It would be too much to let him die for this again. ”

"None of this is a top priority," Empress Lu snorted coldly, "let him stay in the court for a while." Since there can be no war between the Han and the Huns, Your Majesty might as well think about it first, how to deal with the Xiongnu envoys in the Barbarian Pavilion, right? ”

A burst of piano sound, pouring out from the platform of the water pavilion of the Lihou Mansion, beautiful like gurgling water, trickling lovely.

The incense was curling, and the white-clothed young man on the seat closed his eyes and chanted, when the song was over, he opened his eyes again, and it was clear, "Jiu Niang's piano sound is very good, and her music skills are impeccable." It's just—"

"Just what?" The woman in the black robe raised her head from the piano, her voice cold.

He Zhen sighed and pointed, "Your piano heart is impetuous." ”

Lu Wei was silent.

"Entering the palace is imminent, the ninth sister is impetuous, and it is also common sense of people." Lu Tai walked up from the garden and said with a smile, "Mr. He, Tai and my sister have something to talk about." ”

He Zhen bowed slightly, did not talk to Lu Tai, picked up his qin, and said lightly, "In this case, Zhen Xian retired." ”

Lu Tai raised his eyes to look at his sister sitting in front of the piano platform, even if it was a brother and sister, he often felt it. This girl was born very beautiful, and her eyebrows and eyes were cold, like snow on the top of a mountain, which always made people feel the urge to melt it as the sun.

"These days, because of the envoys of the Huns, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have been very busy, and they can't take care of Your Majesty's wedding for the time being." Lu Tai said with a smile, "But sister, don't worry, when you marry into Weiyang Palace, my brother will definitely hold a lively wedding for you." Let everyone in the world envy my sister. ”

"Hmm." Lu Wei nodded in understanding.

The sun shines from the western sky, and the setting sun melts gold and spreads on the piano platform. In an instant, the strings flashed, brightening Lu Wei's eyes. She reached out and plucked the strings, "Big brother,"

"Huh?"

"You really think." She hesitated slightly, "Will I have such a wedding?" ”

"What stupid thing did my sister say?" Lu Tai's voice was a little hurried, but he smiled happily on his face, "You have grown up with Your Majesty since you were a child, you are your cousins, and Your Majesty has always loved you. Right now, His Majesty is getting married. If he doesn't marry you, who else can he marry? ”

Lu Wei sighed and said softly. "I see."

"My sister is tired," Lu Tai said softly, "Although this piano is a good thing, it should not be too indulged." My sister might as well go back to the house and get a good night's sleep. When you get married in Japan, you'll still be tired. ”

"Okay."

The foolish brother took his leave. Ah Wei——, you won't be cranky anymore, will you? ”

"No, it won't."

"That's good."

It was getting dark, and suddenly there was a loud thunderclap, and the cold rain poured down, wetting the steps in front of the house.

"Azure and blue," Lu Wei called out as he stepped barefoot on the carpet, "go and close the window." ”

The maids answered, and stepped forward to close the window in the room.

Tianqing held the lamp and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the branch window that this lady came up with is really a good thing, it is easy to open and close, and it is much better than the straight window before." ”

"No matter how smart she is, can she compare to our nine ladies?" Cailan retorted excitedly, "On playing the piano, calligraphy, and painting, there is no noble girl in Chang'an City who can compare with the Shangjiu lady." ”

"Alright." Lu Wei frowned and reprimanded, "On a rainy day, what are you arguing about?" Tianqing, you go to the Rokuro Courtyard to get back the "Chinese" he borrowed last time, saying that I am in a hurry. Picking blue, you go to the stove to cook a bowl of tea porridge, add ground chestnut rice, slowly boil it over low heat, and it can be extremely thick. ”

Drinking tea and reading on a rainy night is Lu Wei's habit, and the second daughter is not suspicious, so she bent her knees and left.

For a time, there was a huge room, and only Lu Wei was left.

She lay on the couch and closed her eyes to listen to the rain running down the ravine of the roof and finally falling down the eaves, crackling. The small courtyard is filled with the damp smell of spring rain.

She never thinks about it, because she knows that all her doubts and concerns are real.

Regarding the overlap in the preparations for the big wedding, people told her that it was because the Xiongnu envoys came to the capital from the borderlands, and the entire Han court was anxious and busy with how to deal with it, and she should be at ease. But she was still sensitive to a kind of uneasiness from the sticky air of Chang'an, and from her uncle's vague expression.

That's right, she grew up in abundance with the emperor's cousin, and she was very affectionate, and when she was poor, this cousin has always loved and cared for her. But this does not mean that after Liu Ying became the prince or even the emperor, after she became the ninth lady in the deep boudoir of the Lu Mansion, they were still as close as yesterday.

What does the emperor who is about to become their husband, cousin, look like?

She tried to remember, but the memory left her only a pale shadow.

And the unbridled laughter turned into an unfamiliar politeness, every time they met in the Changle Palace, they just bowed from afar, and praised respectfully in their mouths, "Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

She has a cold temperament, and she can't be that kind of intimate coquettishness, so she can only become more and more estranged.

But even though she is estranged, she can still feel that Liu Ying doesn't like herself.

She couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, walking through the Chang'an Guijie, people's eyes on themselves are full of understanding and pity.

This gaze almost drove her crazy.
