To add insult to injury, a few days ago, he contracted another disease of wind and heat, and he fell down at once, and he fell asleep all day long.

For several days in a row, the raincoat served beside him, not daring to relax at all. Finally tonight, I felt that his body temperature was a lot colder, and the doctor said that the problem was not big, so she finally relaxed.

Originally, I wanted to close my eyes a little and take a break for a while, but I didn't expect that people were extremely tired, so as soon as I relaxed, I lay down next to the bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, the man awoke from his restless light sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself sleeping on Aya's bed, covered with a thin quilt.

She sat up, looked around, saw the lights on outside the bedroom, hurriedly lifted the quilt, and walked out quickly.

The emperor was standing in front of a window in the outer hall, looking up at the mountains and moon outside, as if he had fallen into some kind of contemplation, and his figure remained motionless.

Not far behind him, there was a candle on the desk, a pen was put aside, and some pieces sent here by Chang'an were piled up.

Obviously, the Emperor Fang Cai is here again.

The window opened quite widely, and the night breeze of Cangshan poured in from outside. He was covered only with a thin coat, and he looked extremely thin. Zhao Zhongfang was on the side, whispering to persuade the emperor to rest, but the emperor didn't know what he was thinking and didn't react.

Although it is August now, Chang'an City is as hot as a steamer, but in the mountains here, if the wind rises at night, it is still a little cool.

Su Yu hurriedly went up: "Aya, you are sick, and you are not fully recovered!" Why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night and come out again? ”

When the emperor heard her voice, he turned his head, Fang He smiled, and said that he was already well, and he couldn't sleep when he woke up, so he came out to do something to pass the time, and told her to go back to sleep, don't worry.

How could Su Yu agree, he went up and closed the window and asked him to come in.

The emperor shook his head, but did not insist, let his daughter take him, and returned to enter. Su Yu served him on the bed and told him to lean against the head of the bed. Zhao Zhongfang sent a lamp of warm water. The emperor took two sips, put it down, stared at Su Yu sitting beside him, and sighed: "Aya is useless, I've worried you again recently." Your face has lost weight, go to sleep, don't worry, Aya is fine. ”

The emperor woke up a few days ago, his spirit was very poor, and he finally looked better at the moment, Su Yu was reluctant to leave like this, and shook his head: "During the day, Zhao Companion is taking care of them, and her daughter is not tired, so she will accompany Aya here, and when Aya sleeps, I will leave."

The emperor stopped driving her, and asked Zhao Zhongfang to take everyone down to rest, and only his daughter was left in front of him, patted the edge of the couch, and asked her to come up too.

Su Yu climbed into the bed as she said, and her kimono lay on her father's knees, feeling him reach over and gently stroke the top of her hair.

The ears are quiet, only the sound of the night wind echoing in the valley of Cangshan in the distance, if it is whistling, if it is telling its heart in a strange way, it does not stop.

She listened to the wind and slowly closed her eyes. I don't know how long it took, but in a hazy way, I suddenly heard Aya speak, and said leisurely: "Sister, just Aya Mochizuki, guess who Aya thought of?" ”

Su Yu's eyelashes moved slightly.

"In addition to your mother, Aya suddenly thought of Pei Ji."

During the trip to Cangshan, the emperor summoned Pei Ji to come with him, but he was rejected by him on the pretext that he was unwell, and only sent He Jin to deliver the confession.

Su Yu knew that the emperor was quite dissatisfied with his actions, and he didn't believe that he was really unwell.

Su Yu also knew that the emperor even had the idea of sending an imperial doctor to the eastern capital to inspect it, but it was only later because of Chen Sida's mutiny that the matter was over.

"It's natural for Aya to think of A-Niang, why do you think of Pei Gong?" She followed the emperor's words and asked softly.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, and the palm of his hand caressing the top of her hair slowly stopped.

"That day, Pei Ji and his nephew carried Aya down the mountain, do you know what Aya was thinking at that time?"

Su Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, and he quietly opened his eyes.

"Aye, what are you thinking?"

"In your life, when you were young, you fought on horseback, and after becoming the emperor, you mostly went in and out of the chariot. Aya doesn't hide it from you, being carried by him like that is an experience that Aya has never had. At that time, Aya actually had a thought in his heart—"

The Emperor paused, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Su Yu did not make any more urging, but waited quietly.

Aya actually thought how good it would be if this son was my son. Therefore, when Fang Aya thought of Pei Ji, he was a little jealous, because he could have such a son in the Pei family......"

"In my life, after all, I have lost too much heart. God made you Aya the Son of Heaven, and he will probably use up all the luck of your Aya in this life, so nothing else will never call you Aya Ruyi. ”

When Su Yu heard the emperor say this, he let out a long sigh, his tone full of self-deprecation.

A-Niang's departure, the separation of father and daughter for many years, and the rivalry between the prince and King Kang......

Is that what Aya is referring to?

A deep sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

"Aye, don't say that. If you really appreciate him like this, it's very simple, when he comes back from this trip, just reward him well! ”

She closed her eyes and said in a relaxed tone.

After returning from the hunting ground, Siwei and Chengping were all rewarded for their merits that night, but Pei Xiaoyuan did not move, and, a few days after he returned, he was sent out to purge Chen Sida's remaining party, and Yuan Zhi walked with him as a military envoy.

It's been almost a month since he's gone, and if all goes well, he should be back soon.

The emperor listened to her and was silent, not answering anything. Just when Su Yu thought that he was also asleep because of fatigue, suddenly, there was a sigh in his ears.

"Sister-in-law, Aya can't rest assured! This thief, my God! Since Aya met the throne, he has never treated you Aya well! Aya is a little scared, afraid that God will inflict Aya's punishment on you! ”

The Emperor's voice suddenly became erratic, with fear. But soon, he suddenly raised the hand that had been caressing the top of her hair, slapped it heavily on the edge of the bed, and his tone changed: "No, no, no! You don't have to listen! Aya is sick and confused! Aya is the emperor, the emperor of all the people in the world! What God, I can't see it, I can't touch it! What Aya did was not wrong! You are a princess, and you have suffered so many years outside, and now you have finally come back, from now on, Aya will never allow you to suffer the slightest grievance! Not to mention, let you suffer the grievances of the Pei family! No matter how good he is, if he doesn't bow his head, it won't work! ”

Su Yu opened his eyes again, got up from the couch, knelt beside the emperor, saw him looking at him with blazing eyes, his expression was extremely excited, he reached out and probed his forehead, and felt as if it was burning again.

"I see. I'll be fine. Aya, lie down! The rain coaxed him.

"Aya is not confused!"

The Emperor turned his face, avoiding her outstretched hand. At this time, I saw Zhao Zhongfang walking in lightly, looking inside, and seeing that the emperor and Su Yu were still awake, Fang said: "Your Majesty, Fang learned about it, and Pei Ji arrived in the Eastern Capital!"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the emperor, and saw that he was looking at Zhao Zhongfang, and his expression was extremely surprised.

"Who? Who's coming? As if he couldn't believe his ears, the emperor asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Pei Ji! He said that he learned about the hunting ground, and that His Majesty had been in poor health recently, and that he was worried about His Majesty, and that his body had also recovered, so he rushed over. ”

"What about others?"

"It's just outside the Qingrong Palace. Fang just said a few words to the slave maid, and heard the slave and maid say that His Majesty had rested, so he said that he would come to see His Majesty again tomorrow! ”

"Tell him to come right away!"

The emperor seemed to be stunned for a moment, and suddenly, jumped up from the couch, landed on the ground, and then crossed his waist with his backhand, not even wearing boots, only socks, and walked back and forth several times in front of the couch.

"What are you doing standing up? Don't go yet! Let's just say that I just woke up, so I might as well see him here! ”

"Hey! The old slave obeyed. ”

Zhao Zhongfang rarely encountered the emperor showing such an excited and even uncontrollable look, at first he was stunned for a while, but he was urged by the emperor and hurriedly responded.

Su Yu also reacted at this time, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and hurriedly followed Zhao Zhongfang out. As soon as I walked out of the door of Qingrong Palace, from a distance, I saw a thin old man standing solemnly under the palace steps, that person had gray hair, a solemn expression, wearing official robes, and was in the dust, it was Pei Ji who had been farewell in Ganliang at the beginning of the year!

"Pei Gong!" She screamed.

Pei Ji had already seen her, with a smile on his face, he walked towards her, and when he was about to reach her, he called the princess in his mouth, saluted respectfully, and was about to bow down. How could Su Yu allow him to make such a big gift to himself, hurriedly stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to hold the person: "I still hope that Pei Gong can call me Ye Xiaoniang like before." Pei Gong, you just call me a princess, how can you still give such a big gift? Get up and torment me! ”

Although Pei Ji could no longer make a big salute, he still finished the regular salute, so he looked at the rain and said with a smile: "Last month I was in the Eastern Capital, and when I heard the news of the princess's return to the court, I was surprised, I thought about it, and I felt that it was the will of heaven, and I was even more happy for the princess." ”

Su Yu thanked him, and asked him about his body, and heard him say that at first he was sick for a few days because of water and soil, but now he is better, and said: "It's good that Pei Gong is here, and the road is hard." I'm ...... Aye"

She wanted to say, "I, Aye, just heard that Pei Gong came, and I was also very happy", but suddenly remembered the words that the emperor specially ordered Zhao Zhongfang.

Obviously, in front of this former minister who has not seen each other for many years, Aya still has to maintain a little bit of the majesty of another king. She paused, stopped poking, and looked at Zhao Zhongfang instead.

Zhao Zhongfang took it with a smile on his face, saying that the emperor had just woken up and heard the news that he had arrived, and he happened to be fine, so he could meet him directly.

"Pei Gong came with the slave." Zhao Zhongfang's tone was respectful.

With his current status and face, the only person in the Manchu Dynasty who can make him speak like this is about Pei Ji.

Pei Ji made a gesture towards Zhao Zhongfang, asked Su Yu to go first, and then stepped forward by himself and followed into Qingrong Palace.

The emperor didn't tell him to wait long, and soon, after changing his clothes, he sat upright in the outer hall, looking at Pei Ji who hurriedly entered with a majestic face. However, when Pei Ji bowed down upright, finished kowtowing, heard the emperor on the seat say flat, and slowly raised his head, the pair of monarchs and ministers who had been separated for many years came face to face again, and saw each other's familiar but old faces, and the atmosphere slowly turned silent.

After a long time, the emperor suddenly smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Old, old!" I don't realize it, I remember that when you left Beijing, your hair was not so white. It's because the land is too bitterly cold, and now you are like this. ”

Pei Ji's eyes were slightly moist, and he said, "Your Majesty has been doing all these years?" His Majesty remembers the minister, and the minister is doing well. Peace of mind is my hometown. Although the cool wind and sand are a little bigger, it also makes the minister steal a quiet life that he has not had for more than ten years. The minister also thought that he could say goodbye to old age, but His Majesty did not give up, and transferred the minister to the Eastern Capital and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. The minister is not talented, so he can only barely continue to serve the court. Last month, he received a summons from His Majesty, and he should have arrived early, but he was really unwell, and he was not strong enough to miss the opportunity to visit His Majesty, and the minister felt deeply regretful. Later, I learned that there was some accident here, His Majesty's dragon body was slightly restless, and the minister happened to be cured. ”

After he finished speaking, he bowed again to the emperor.

The emperor looked at him silently for a moment, and suddenly, slowly, said, "My mind is far inferior to yours. ”

After he said this, he got up from his seat, walked in front of Pei Ji, reached out, and personally wanted to help him up from the ground.

"It's good that you're here. I still have to stay in Cangshan for a while, and you can stay too. I remember that you were excellent at chess back then, and when you had nothing to do, you and I found a clean place to play chess, which was also very good. ”

Pei Ji smiled and thanked him, but refused to get up, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is here this time, and there is another matter, I dare to ask Your Majesty for permission. ”

"What?"

"It's about the princess."

The emperor's expression gradually turned solemn, slowly sat back on his seat, looked at Pei Ji, and said with a flickering gaze: "What's the matter with the princess?" ”

"The minister boldly asked Your Majesty, at the beginning of the year, the princess was received to Ganliang, can Your Majesty know about this?"

The emperor sighed lightly, and turned cold, noncommittal.

"Your Majesty knows about it. I heard that soon after the princess returned to the court, a number of sons and daughters asked to marry. The quality of the princess's gold and jade, Xiao Yuan, the nephew of the minister, is dull, and he is not worthy of the princess no matter what, but the minister thinks about the old things, and always feels that he has a good relationship with the princess. ”

"He can't speak rashly, his parents are not there, the minister wants to come and go, and he can only ask His Majesty for his wishes on behalf of the minister, who is an elder."

"If His Majesty does not give up, he is allowed to be the master, and the princess is married, it will be the luck of the minister's nephew, the luck of the minister, and the luck of my Pei family!"

"So the minister dared to speak up tonight. If there is anything wrong, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! ”

After Pei Ji finished speaking, he solemnly kowtowed to the emperor again, and then waited for a response.

Chapter 84

"Pei Qing, did he know about the princess that you came here for your nephew to ask for a princess?"

After a long silence, finally, the voice of the emperor's words sounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty, so far, the Chenjia Erlang does not know."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, sighed softly, and looked at Pei Ji with a meaningful gaze.

"Pei Qing, are you confused? Now that the princess has returned to the court, what are you doing in the past? ”

"Besides, I know more or less, and some people don't know the height of the sky, and they have humiliated her. I don't pursue it now, it's already magnanimous, so how can I get the so-called fate? ”

Although the tone of the emperor's speech was unhurried, under the words, the kind of dissatisfaction and resentment that seemed to be about to burst into the sky could not be concealed no matter what.

Obviously, if the person who spoke just now was not Pei Ji, but anyone else, I am afraid that the emperor would have changed his face on the spot.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the minister knows that he is presumptuous, but he still implores His Majesty to let the minister finish his words." Pei Ji looked calm.

"Let's talk about it!" The emperor said lightly.
