Volume 3: Exquisite Dice An Red Beans 161: Yanran

"The concubine has seen the queen mother."

Empress Lu sat in the hall, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, she hadn't seen her for many years, her appearance was still the same as it was back then, with a little dull gray, along with her clothes. Perhaps, it was because of her boredom that she was never mentioned.

"You came to Changle Palace to see me," Lu Hou paused, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xia Shi said respectfully, "Yes." The grandson is now in prison, and the concubine begged the queen mother to let him go. ”

"The judge has neglected his duties, and His Majesty has been condemned for this. As the queen mother, this palace did not interfere with His Majesty's handling of courtiers. However, for the sake of serving the palace with all his dedication for many years, the palace will try to show forgiveness to His Majesty. ”

Although he was also very anxious about the trial of his food, on the face, Empress Lu absolutely refused to show weakness to the trial Xia clan and exposed his shortcomings.

The hands that were placed on his side trembled angrily, and he couldn't help but raise his head and said aggressively, "Your Majesty punished your grandson, and the concubine didn't dare to complain." But who doesn't know that the eldest and grandest in Chang'an City don't know that the Empress Dowager Su Jing has spent more time in Changle Palace than in his own home. How could he fill Chen Changle Palace with inferior wood for a little profit? ”

"What do you mean?" Empress Lu was suddenly enraged, "Do you think this palace can't stand you?" ”

"Don't dare." The brightness in her eyes slowly turned gray, and she bowed deeply and said, "The concubine doesn't dare to argue with the Queen Mother, but the son in the family is not yet an adult, so I beg the Queen Mother to have mercy, don't let him have a father at a young age." ”

Empress Lu's original vigorous anger suddenly became angry, and over the years, because of himself, the Xia family was separated from him. She was already pitiful, but now she is even more worried about the safety of her husband, she is the mother of the country. Is it impossible to fight with such a woman for a long time?

"You go back." She said, "Judging the matter of eating it, this palace must try to do it." ”

When the Xia clan withdrew, she suddenly called, "Queen Mother," she finally turned around and said sadly, "Since you have snatched him from the concubine, why can't you save him?" ”

Lu Hou Huo Ran stood up.

"Queen Mother." Behind him, Su Mo called out in surprise.

"Nothing." She stroked her head. Sit down again, and hear your own pounding heartbeat.

Ah Shen is her pillow person, and she has been conscientious and respectful for many years. In the end, because of her, she was condemned by her son. But because she was ashamed, she refused to bow her head to her son and plead.

He must be blaming himself for refusing to protect him, right?

"Sumo. You go to Weiyang Palace and ask Your Majesty to come over. She said slowly, "Let's just say that I haven't seen him for many days, and this palace misses him very much." ”

"No."

Liu Ying stepped into the Changxin Hall and smiled slightly when she saw her mother sitting in the hall.

"Son, please be well."

"Get up." Empress Lu smiled and put down the cup in his hand and asked. "How is Your Majesty's health these days?"

"My body Kangtai, thank you for your care." Liu Ying replied with a smile, "The day before yesterday, I and the queen went to the high temple to pay homage to my father. The queen mother was unwell and was unable to go with her. It's a pity. ”

Her smile froze slightly, and she had to respond, "yes, it's not a coincidence. ”

"The imperial doctor can diagnose the pulse of the queen mother. How so? ”

"It's just plain words." Empress Lu sighed, "The queen mother is already old. When people get old, they naturally have more problems on their bodies. No surprise. ”

He snorted and asked casually, "Over the years, have you ever dreamed of your father?" ”

Lu Houshang's expression froze, and he quickly fixed his mind and said, "I'm old, the first emperor thinks I'm weak, how can I be willing to enter my dream?" ”

After Liu Ying retired, Su Mofang hurriedly called, "Queen Mother-"

You have already summoned Your Majesty to Changle Palace with your head bowed, but why did you not interrogate your lord from beginning to end?

"Say no more." Empress Lu was furious and walked back and forth in the hall, "He was smiling, and what he said was the appearance of a mother and a son." But his eyes, those eyesβ€”they were clearly mocking me, why did I still say a word in front of him. ”

She suddenly felt very tired. Both her lover and her son are important to her. But her son hated her lover so much that he wanted to put him to death, and she stood in the middle, in a dilemma.

A ring rang out outside the hall.

Empress Lu suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who is outside the palace?" ”

"Grandma is well." A light chuckle came from outside the Changxin Palace, and the young woman in yellow opened the curtain and came in, "I heard that my aunt and grandmother have been in a bad mood recently, so I specially made snowflake porridge for my aunt and grandmother to taste and relieve her boredom." "Raise your face, it's sweet and it's a pity that it's bright.

"Yes." Lu Houyi sighed with interest, "This palace has not had a good appetite recently, and I don't want to eat much. ”

"Hmm." Lu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "I know there is a way to make the Queen Mother's appetite better." ”

"Oh?" Empress Lu asked indispensably, "How?" ”

There was no one else in the Guangdian, and she heard Lu Yiyu smile, "The Queen Mother has a bad appetite, because she is sick in the heart, and there are only three words for this disease, which is the judge." The prescription is an edict of forgiveness from His Majesty. But His Majesty hated Lord Ji Juan and refused to take the initiative to issue an edict. Only by using medicine to guide the properties of medicine and soften His Majesty's attitude can he slowly try to do so. ”

Empress Lu had an affair with the judge, although he deliberately avoided people's eyes. But Lu Yi often goes in and out of Changle Palace, and he has one or two in his heart. The two of them tacitly agreed, and Empress Lu didn't bother to care, so she asked lightly, "According to what you said, what medicine should be used?" ”

Lu Yi replied with a smile, "If the Queen Mother personally intervenes in this matter, the more affectionate the Queen Mother is, the more angry Her Majesty will be, and in the end it will be out of control, but the more severely the Lord will be punished." It is better for the Queen Mother to ask His Majesty's cronies to present her case in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty's anger can be calmed, and the matter can be harmonious. ”

"There's some truth to that." Empress Lu muttered, "But who is Your Majesty's closest trust?" After all, this is a royal secret, and it cannot be said to outsiders, otherwise His Majesty will be annoyed and angry, and it will be even worse. ”

Originally, Man Hua was the best candidate. Ying'er respects this sister, and most of them can listen to her words. It's just that her daughter is also a trusting person, and she will not approve of her affair with the judge.

"Why did the Queen Mother forget?" Lu Yi covered his mouth and smiled, "Isn't there still a queen mother?" ”

"Ah Yan?"

Empress Lu was surprised.

"Nope." She shook her head and vetoed, "She's a milk doll, how can she have this ability?" If she could really persuade His Majesty, how could she be fourteen years old, but still not ......"

She didn't want to hurt the face of Empress Ah Yan's middle palace in front of Lu Yi, so she didn't say any more.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know." Lu Yi's eyes rolled slightly. smiled Yingying said, "When Your Majesty and Empress Zhang came to Changle Palace to greet you, they were dignified and polite, and it was normal for the Queen Mother not to see the friendship between them." Yi has seen them from afar a few times in private outside the Changxin Palace, my emperor's cousin, looking at his little queen, well, what do you say with that look? ”

She pondered, "With a hint of forbearance." It is clearly a very precious and affectionate look. ”

"What do you mean," Empress Lu was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but ask. "Your Majesty, Empress Aimu Zhang?"

"Quite deeply." Lu Yi bowed.

"Are you mistaken?" Empress Lu refuted, "Your Majesty and Ah Yan have been close relatives since childhood, and the harmony between the two is true. But to say that men and women longing is a fallacy. ”

If Liu Ying is really in love with Ayan. She is already his rightful queen, and she has just come to the letter not long ago, and she is already at the age when she can accept her grace, if he wants to order Ah Yan to sleep, no one in the world can say a word. Why do you have to force yourself to do so?

"Queen Mother," Lu Yi said softly. "I'm not a three-year-old, I'm married, I've had children. I grew up with Ah Yan since I was a child, and I have seen her get along with His Majesty in the past. How could it be wrong? She said in an affirmative tone, "The emperor's cousin may have other knots, but he definitely values Ah Yan in his heart." So, if Ah Yan comes forward to intercede for Lord Zhan. Your Majesty will definitely agree. In the end, he smiled like a flower.

"Queen Mother," Su Mo said thoughtfully. "There is some truth in what the fifth lady said. Last time, Empress Zhang dealt with Wang Bazi, and she had some means. It's not a doll that needs you to protect under the wings for a long time. Maybe you can really convince Your Majesty. ”

"That being the case......" Empress Lu's eyes darkened slightly.

On the tenth day of the twelfth month of winter, it snowed heavily in Chang'an City, and it did not stop until the twilight, on both sides of the palace road in Weiyang Palace, the snow was deep enough to fill the foot.

Liu Ying entered the Jiaofang Palace. Seeing Zhang Yan piling up a white and chubby snowman in the court, she took two black charcoal and embedded them on her face to make her eyes, and suddenly became smart and shining.

"Ah Yan." He laughed, seeing that her cheeks were red and her hands were red from the cold, he couldn't help but hold them, and frowned, "Your letter this month has not been cleaned, and if you play in the snow again, I am afraid that you will suffer next month." ”

"Ugh." Her tongue was a little knotted, "I just watched this snow be beautiful, on a whim." "His face was slightly red, but his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky." Then I'll watch from under the porch, and you can build another snowman for me, okay? ”

"Isn't there already one?" Liu Yingqi said.

"It's different." Zhang Yanyan said, "This is a male doll, can you pile up a female doll again." ”

After the new snowman was stacked, Zhang Yan took off the step shake of her hair, drew her eyes and nose for the snowman, and looked back and smiled, "Well, this male doll snowman is you, and the female doll snowman is me, let's hold hands and be together forever, okay?" ”

Liu Ying looked at her smile, and suddenly felt a little sad, how can you easily say it forever in this world? Long live the emperor every day. But neither the first emperor Yingzheng nor his own father lived for more than a hundred years.

The snowman is the shortest thing to last, as soon as the sky clears and the sun comes out, it will soon turn into a puddle of water, leaving no trace.

Even so, all I thought about was reduced to a sentence, "It's cold, let's go in." ”

The fire is blazing, and the pepper room hall shines out of a room of spring.

"Did Your Majesty build a snowman when you were a child?" She asked with a grin as she sat down on the bed, pulled over the thick quilt.

"Nature." What kid hasn't built a snowman as a kid? "The snow in the south didn't fall as long as it did in Chang'an, and one winter, the snow in Peixian County was knee-deep. My sister and I were very happy, building snowmen in the wilderness......"

Suddenly, he couldn't say any more.

That year, it was the trial that helped him and his sister to make the snow firm.

"Hmm. Today, I went to Changle Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and the tea served by the palace people was not to my liking at all. In her ear, Zhang Yan said.

He suddenly asked in a solemn voice, "Ah Yanβ€”"

"Did someone ask you to intercede in front of me for the trial of him?"

"Hmm."

"You don't care about it." He bluntly said, "You don't know the truth. ”

"There's something you don't know." Zhang Yan said disapprerovingly, "Isn't it that Your Majesty is annoyed that the Queen Mother has an affair with her courtiers?" ”

"Actually...... It's not a big deal. ”

"You ......" Liu Ying suddenly turned over, pressed her under her body, her face was cloudy, and asked, "If one day, I am gone, will you also find a man next to you?" ”
