In the mansion of Marquis Wuxin, Lu Lu stretched out his hand to knock on the bed, and suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, although Aru's disease is weird, in the end, it is my own sister, and our family can't afford to raise it, so if you raise it slowly, you can always get better." …… When the time comes," said slowly, with a thoughtful expression,

"-Maybe there will be new opportunities, maybe it's a lot!"

**************

The first ceremony of the sixth year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty is still grand.

On that day, Zhang Yan wore a phoenix crown on her head, combed her hair in a big bun, wore a dark robe engraved with twelve groups of colorful painted Hui Wen, and the green jade group hung down on the big belt, and sat on the high platform in the front hall of Weiyang with Liu Ying. "It's not the first time I've been there, but I still feel dizzy.

Beside her, Liu Ying noticed it, stretched out her hand, quietly shook her soft, tilted her head slightly, and asked softly from an angle that His Highness couldn't clearly see, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yan felt that the hand was extremely broad, and the warmth went up along the wrist and warmed to her heart, and a small smile opened on her lips, "It's nothing." He also replied in a low voice, "I just feel that the clouds are easy to disperse, and the good times are difficult to stay, but somehow, there is a feeling of being afraid of dissipating." ”

His Royal Highness, after seeing the vassal king, he retreated, and the princes of Beijing stepped forward to bow down, and Liu Ying refuted in the interval, "What nonsense? He gently reassured, "Hold on, the first ceremony of the year must not leave early, and when it is over here, I will accompany you back to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

"Hmm."

Ninety-six honey candles on the lampstand, illuminating the front hall as bright as day, Zhang Yan turned his head slightly, looking at Liu Ying's cheeks, his lines fell on the eyes yellow and distinct, and his heart was sweet and slightly painful.

When I was a teenager, I felt that the world was simple, as long as two people loved each other. Anything goes. really began to walk into marriage and assume the responsibilities of a wife, only to find that it is not so simple. We always have to restrain our edges and corners and fold our temperament in order to make our life mellow -

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and smiled at Liu Ying.

However, with this person by your side, then you will suffer more frustrations. It's all worth it, right?

Under the ninefold majestic steps, the close ministers of the vassal king feasted and drank, and the food and drink syrup was placed on the food table in front of them. Silent, occasionally raising his head, you can see that in the highest place of Weiyang Palace, the figure of the emperor and queen has become a silhouette. The atmosphere is very warm.

……

On the first day of the new year, the queen served food to the queen mother and said with a smile, "They all say that the new year is new." Now that it's been six years in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, the queen mother should be happier. ”

Sumo came in from outside the temple. said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the weaving room has just come in with this year's new socks." Do you want to use it tomorrow? ”

Empress Lu frowned, "Put it aside." He complained casually, "Speaking of which, the new socks are always a little tied on the feet, but they are not as comfortable as the old socks." ”

She ran out of soup. put the utensils on the vermilion lacquer cloud pattern food table in front of him, and glanced at Zhang Yan: "Ah Yan." You're not too young, it's time to learn to grow up. ”

Zhang Yan lowered her head and said sincerely, "What the queen mother said is that in the past, Ah Yan was willful and a little self-righteous, but from now on, Ah Yan has been taught a lesson and will learn to change." "The sound is smooth.

Empress Lu looked at the girl in front of her, she was green and silky, slightly hanging her neck, revealing a triple white vermilion collar, and a piece of snowy skin, young and bright, like a spring in summer, even if she suffered a little setback, the color of life is still very beautiful, unlike herself, she is already old and old like a dull robe, covered with dust. The light of the eyes involuntarily revealed a kind of coolness,

"I hope so."

After returning to the Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan called Yu Zhang, "I remember that there is a Gebu from Shanyin in the private house this autumn?" Let someone take some of it, and I'll use it when it's fine. ”

Yu Zhang responded, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "What does Niangniang want Ge Bu to do?" ”

Zhang Yan said, "I want to make something." ”

At that time, the nobles were cheap and golden, and few nobles in the two palaces wore the clothes of golden. Zhang Yan ordered the palace people to pound the Ge cloth carefully and cut it himself. At that time, she was serving food to Empress Lu, and Tu Yu was with her, and when she saw her actions, she understood her intentions, and couldn't help but hesitate to persuade, "Niangniang, you have the heart to let the weaving room do it." ”

Zhang Yan raised her head, and her black and white apricot eyes glanced at her,

"Although the Queen Mother looks like she has understood, but the previous mustard is already there, I always have to show some sincerity so that she can know."

"But......" Tu Yu wanted to say and stopped.

You must know that although most of the people on the side of Queen Zhang are smart and ingenious, they have been learning female popularity since childhood. She came from a noble background, except for most of the time she left the palace, she never lacked a weaver around her, but there has been no problem, this time she sewed the fabric herself, even if she had put enough thought into it, the stitches of the fabric looked like they were inevitably a little rough.

Zhang Yan also noticed it, and laughed at herself, "It seems that my craftsmanship is really not very good-"

"Niangniang," Tu Yu soothed, "It doesn't matter about the craftsmanship, what matters is the mother's heart." If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would like it very much. ”

Zhang Yan sighed, a look of worry welling up between her eyebrows.

What bridges is a bowl of wine, but what can't be bridged is the previous mood. For her, Empress Lu is the heroine of the Linzhao Dynasty who lived in the history books she had seen, and she was also the queen mother of a country who was willing to give in to the emperor's son in the Changle Palace. Treat yourself, as if you have been tolerant enough, and it seems that you really have hatred. People's feelings are a very strange thing, as if Wei Linggong is close to the doctor Mizi, when he likes it, he eats a peach; When you don't like it, it's a crime. Sometimes, she couldn't help but suspect that Empress Lu had already found out her life experience, so she alienated herself in her heart. But on the contrary, she was already so timid that she didn't even dare to ask.

"My heart, I'm afraid Grandma doesn't want to accept it."

"How so?" Tu Yu was stunned, "Didn't the Queen Mother drink wine that day?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled.

"Silly."

Where is it that simple?

That glass of wine was nothing more than a ritual. For the good of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen cannot always be disrespectful for a long time. On that day, Liu Ying couldn't bear to be humiliated and temporarily took herself away, but after all, it was very abrupt, which was tantamount to breaking the face of the Queen Mother. I am a junior, and I am at fault first. You have to bow your head first to make amends, and Empress Lu also borrowed the ladder to come down, and it seems that the royal family is still harmonious, but in the bones, who knows how?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, and hesitantly reached out and touched her flat abdomen - the best way to make Empress Lu really change her mind is to quickly have another child.

So. Is it good to have another child?

Once this thought was born, even she herself was a little faintly moved.

I want this. is different from seven years ago, after returning to the palace, before Changle Palace, she was to blame, sad and tired. Since both emotionally and in strength. Empress Lu is not a character she can compete with, so she must think of a way to reconcile with Empress Lu. It would be a good thing if this could be improved by having a son. What's more,

Empress Lu's expectations for the prince in her womb have been real for many years.

She and Liu Ying are daughters-in-law, if they can't even realize their mother's wishes. And what about the past?

……

Zhang Yan lowered her head and began to embroider a treasure pattern for a sock.

In the early winter of the sixth year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, there was a ground movement in Shandong. Liu Ying was busy in the Xuanshu Hall until late, and when she returned to the Jiaofang Palace, the night was already dark, and Zhang Yan couldn't stay up and fell asleep. He smiled and kissed his wife's forehead. lightly went to the bed.

Because I rarely do embroidery work, the first foot socks. It took Zhang Yan half a month of hard work to slowly embroider. When I started to embroider the other one, I was much more familiar than before, but in two days, I had already seen the prototype. Because she only sews during the day, she will put it away when the front hall reports that Liu Ying is coming back, and Liu Ying doesn't know until she is about to finish embroidering.

On the contrary, as a palace person, the news should be better-informed, Guan Sheng knows these days that the queen mother is sewing a pair of foot socks, I heard that these days will be finished, my eyes turned, and when Han Changliu was not in the Xuanshu Palace, when Liu Ying's criticism was tired and resting, he said with a smile,

"Congratulations slave maid,"

Liu Ying withdrew the hand that was pressing her temples and said inexplicably, "Where does my joy come from?" ”

Guan Sheng will bend extremely low, "...... The slave maid heard that the queen mother recently embroidered some things in the Jiaofang Palace, and thought that it was made for everyone, and everyone and the queen husband and wife were reconciled, isn't it the biggest happy event, worthy of the slave and maid's congratulations? ”

Liu Ying was very surprised, he knew that Ah Yan was not good at being a woman, so he never asked Ah Yan to sew things for him, why did Ah Yan suddenly have such a mind? There was a gurgling joy in his heart, he coughed uncomfortably, and glared at Guan Sheng, "Poor mouth." A smile welled up on his lips.

Guan Sheng smiled, "It's the slave who is poor." It's just that for the sake of the slave and maid to report to you, save the slave and the maid. ”

Liu Yingshang couldn't help but smile on her lips, and said unconcernedly, "You kid, now you are also majestic in this palace, what else is there to save." ”

"No matter how beautiful the slave is, it is also the blessing of everyone and the queen,"

Guan Sheng said, "The slave maid just remembered that the queen mother was only afraid of giving everyone a surprise, but the slave maid told her in front of everyone, I was afraid that the queen would be angry and would attack the slave and maid, so she naturally asked everyone to help at that time." ”

Liu Ying couldn't help but point at Guan Sheng and laughed, "Although Ah Yan is delicate, she rarely really punishes people." At most, I can't stab you a few words, can't the deputy manager even stand these words? ”

The mood was turbulent, and he felt that he couldn't stand the music in front of him, and the dark curtain hanging in the Xuanshu Hall looked at it, and he couldn't help but get up and said, "The palace people don't have to go back to the Jiaofang Hall to report the news." ”

I'll go back and take a look.

Guan Sheng couldn't help but snicker, and bent down to answer, "No." ”

When Liu Ying quietly entered the harem, Zhang Yan didn't know that she was embroidering the last flower and leaf of the socks in her hand. After Empress Lu passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, she no longer used bright colors, Zhang Yan chose the red silk thread, the embroidery needle passed through the gezu cloth in the embroidery bandage, and pulled out the silk thread behind it, and suddenly heard the report of the palace people outside the palace, "Everyone is here." The voice was already close to the curtain, and he couldn't help but be very surprised, and stacked Ge Bu aside.

"Ah Yan,"

Liu Ying leaned in and saw the embroidery in Zhang Yan's hand, and the phoenix eyes flashed with pleasure.

Zhang Yan looked at the sky and said strangely, "At this hour, why did you come back to the back?" ”

Liu Ying covered her mouth with the back of her hand and coughed uncomfortably, "I'm not busy with Chaoli today, so I'm thinking about coming back to accompany you?" His gaze unconsciously fell on the lacquer case behind her, "Hey, what are you busy with?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yan was about to elaborate, but Liu Ying had already come over, "Why did you suddenly want to sew socks?" Your embroiderer, I don't want to talk about it, I don't expect to wear your clothes and socks for the rest of my life......"

"Uh-" Zhang Yan interrupted, very embarrassed, "...... The socks were made for the queen mother. ”

**************

Embarrassed, embarrassed. Poor Ah Yan! But in any case, women's socks can't be used for men's socks!
