"The minister remembered that His Majesty had asked the minister before if he could protect the princess for the rest of his life. The minister wishes to let His Majesty know, and the minister will do his best. ”

"Please rest your mind and take care of your body."

"The minister has retired."

After he had said these words, he finished his salute, got up, and walked out.

The emperor didn't react at all at first, but when Pei Xiaoyuan finished his salute, he looked at the back that was leaving, his taut skin relaxed, and his eyes gradually became sad and soft.

He looked at it for a moment, and when the figure was about to go out, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan stopped and turned around.

"There is a place in the forbidden garden in the north of the city, which was specially repaired for my concubine and her aunt when I ascended the throne at the beginning of my early years. Her aunt likes to be clean, and there is a secluded lake and pond that leads out, which is a wonderful place for pleasure. At that time, I really thought that she had left with someone else, and specially repaired the land, hoping that one day she would come back and her grandmother would be able to find it, and if she didn't want to live in the palace for a long time, she could also take her there to relax......"

When the emperor said these words, his tone was very calm, his eyes looked at Pei Xiaoyuan, and he smiled slightly.

Later, you also knew that her aunt couldn't come back, and there was no news from her sister-in-law, so the place was vacant. Because I asked people to plant a lot of pomegranate trees around, the palace people called that place the fairy pomegranate palace, and now it is owned by the concubine. Before you got married, I had someone re-tidy up. ”

"The newlywed is fine, if you feel that the city is depressed and has nowhere to go, or there is too much disturbance, you can also take her over to stay for a few days, or invite someone to accompany you, it is okay, where to ride a horse, hunt, have a good rest, and when you heal your injuries, you will come back and prepare to worship your ancestors."

Finally, the emperor commanded.

Chapter 108

Su Yu waited in the hugging room of the outer hall, at first, he could faintly hear a few roars that seemed to be made by Aya from the direction of the inner hall, and then, the sound disappeared, and the inner hall returned to calm, but Pei Xiaoyuan never came out.

It was so quiet that it made her feel more unsettling than Aye's roar.

Aya has a bad temperament, and she is angry, she also knows it, so as long as she doesn't smash people with things and scold a few times like she did at the beginning, and wait for him to finish scolding, Pei Xiaoyuan won't mind too much. She is still sure of this.

However, at this moment, the inner hall was silent, at least for an hour of incense, seeing that the morning light was white, the sky was already bright, and a eunuch who praised the affairs of the court meeting also walked here, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he whispered to the palace guard.

“…… Hundreds of officials have gathered to wait for the missing courtyard, just waiting for the saint to ascend to the temple. ”

"Your Majesty summoned the princess and the concubine early in the morning, and the two nobles have not come out at the moment......" The palace guard glanced back and said.

The eunuch followed and looked inside, and saw the princess's figure behind a curtain of dust between the outer halls, and hurriedly bowed from afar, and then lowered his hands and waited quietly.

Su Yu completely lost his patience, and even had a whimsy, worried or Aya was angry, and fainted in anger, and was busy with treatment, so there was no movement at all. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran towards the inner hall with a step, and at this time, a figure happened to turn out of it, it was Pei Xiaoyuan. His eyebrows were condensed, as if he was thinking about something while walking, and when he saw the oncoming rain, he quickened his pace to meet it.

"Why did it take so long to come out? What are you doing? I'm not angry, am I? ”

Seeing him smiling, Su Yu knew that he should be thinking nonsense, and his heart was relieved, but he still asked.

He shook his head, saying that the emperor was indeed displeased at first, but after he confessed and listened to his explanation, his anger gradually subsided, and he took the trouble to teach him earnestly, so he delayed her efforts and told her to wait for a long time.

"What did I, Ayadu, teach you?"

Su Yu couldn't help but be a little unconvinced. She really couldn't imagine that a person like Aya was willing to put down the shelf and "teach earnestly" to Pei Xiaoyuan?

"You know." He refused to elaborate, only stared at her and smiled slightly.

Su Yu himself realized. It must be how Aya wants him to be nice to himself, or how to make him look good.

She pursed her lips, and thought of the roars she had heard at first, how the "displeasure" from her Emperor Aya could have been so lightly described as he had said.

"Are you alright? I'm Ayeta...... Did you hit you with something again, or did you embarrass you too much? She asked again, looking him up and down.

"I'm really fine. Your Majesty has not. He immediately answered.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the eunuch who was still waiting outside the palace gate.

"Let's go, let's get out of the palace first, Aya has other things to do here."

She turned around first, walked a few steps, and suddenly heard him call out to herself again: "Princess! ”

She stopped and turned around.

He seemed to hesitate, then came up and whispered, "Your Majesty's hands seem to be hot." ”

Su Yu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene when Aya was holding the incense burner and wanted to smash it, but was blocked by himself.

"Wait a minute!"

She ran into the inner sanctum.

The emperor sat on the couch and raised his palm, and Zhao Zhongfang stood in front, bowing over, using a silver needle to pick up the bubbles on the emperor's palm.

"Your Majesty, don't touch the incense burner in the future. If the princess knew this, wouldn't it be distressing? The old palace eunuch persuaded softly.

The Emperor shook his head.

"She protects Pei Jia'er, and she doesn't have my annoying old bones in her eyes for a long time!"

"How could it be!" The old palace eunuch hurriedly denied it, "The first one in the princess's heart will always be Your Majesty!" ”

"Lighter you! You old eunuch! Is it deliberately to die painfully? ”

The emperor moved violently, and the needle in Zhao Zhongfang's hand accidentally touched the palm meat, and when he heard the emperor hiss, he hurriedly responded.

"That was before, when she was little. It's different now! ”

The Emperor's voice was a little sad, "If I let her know what I have done, I am afraid she will ......"

"Aye!"

Su Yu rushed in, and the emperor raised his head and closed his mouth abruptly.

"Why are you back again?" The emperor also took his palms back and looked in the direction behind her, "Pei Erna?" Didn't Fang leave, didn't you see him? ”

"See."

After cleaning his hands with clean water, he came back and took the silver needle from the old palace eunuch who stopped aside: "Hand! ”

The emperor paused, stretched out his hand back, and complained in a low voice about Pei Er's mouth.

"I knew he was an unreliable ......"

The emperor muttered two sentences in his mouth, and closed his mouth at the attention of his daughter.

Su Yu held his father's hand in one hand, held a needle in the other hand, carefully picked out the few remaining bubbles on his palm, gently pressed it with a clean towel, sucked away the oozing blood, and then changed to another hand to do the same, and finally applied a thin layer of ointment on the left and right palms, pouted, and gently blew a few times.

"Aye, are you still in pain? Do you want to wrap it up? She finally raised her eyes and asked.

The emperor had been looking down at his daughter concentrating on his own hand injury, and later, the person was slightly distracted, and at this time he woke up, with a smile on his face, and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt!" ”

He glanced out again.

"Aya is really fine. Go, go, go! Go back quickly with the colt and make up for some sleep. Come out so early today, I'm afraid you two are still sleepy. ”

Su Yu said it was okay. However, the emperor urged repeatedly. She finally put down what she was holding, told her father not to overwork, take the medicine on time, and told the old palace eunuch not to send herself, so she withdrew.

With a look of relief and a faint sourness, the emperor watched his daughter's figure disappear. After a moment of silence, he turned to Zhao Zhongfang.

"Change my clothes. After a long delay, it's time to go to court today. ”

When he said this, the emperor's tone was light, but the smile on his face had completely disappeared.

Pei Xiaoyuan stood quietly under the hug and was waiting for her patiently. Seeing her out, he greeted her.

"Let's go, we're back." She smiled.

The two walked out of the Ziyun Palace, and on the way, when they passed near the Xuanzheng Hall of the Emperor's previous dynasty, they met the hundred officials who were marching to the main hall from the courtyard to the palace. Although the two sides were not on the same palace road, there was no tall hall in the middle to block it, and the distance between them was only about ten zhang.

The horse was given leave by the emperor because of his new marriage, so he didn't have to participate in today's long-lost morning court meeting. Everyone thought that he was still sleeping with the princess in the horse mansion at the moment, but he met him here unexpectedly.

Judging from the direction from which the two of them came, it was obvious that they had just come out of the Purple Cloud Palace.

The last time the emperor had a court meeting was before going to Cangshan. It's been so long, and today the court meeting suddenly resumed, and everyone was wondering what was going on. Naturally, they all thought of the news about the assassination of the horse that had been spreading all the time since the day before the wedding. At this moment, he met the emperor in the palace and summoned the two of them before the court meeting, and they all confirmed their guesses, and after competing to greet the two, they all peeped at Liu Ceye.

Liu Ceye was dressed in a purple robe and walked in front of the queue with Wei Juren. Seeing the princess and the concubine coming out of the Purple Cloud Palace, Wei Juren was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, and like everyone else, he bowed his hand with a smile on his face. Liu Ceye's face was solemn, staring at the tiles on the palace road in front of his feet, he only walked forward with square steps, hesitated a little at the moment, and soon, he also turned around, his eyes swept over the horse's shoulder, smiled and arched his hand, saying that he had seen the princess and the horse.

Pei Xiaoyuan returned the salute from afar, and Su Yu stood still. Liu Ceye also didn't notice it, only lowered his eyes, and his smile became more and more respectful.

Naturally, everyone also knew about the conflict between his grandson and a slave of the Horse Mansion yesterday and was seriously injured by Ashina, and when they saw this scene, they all looked over.

At this time, Su Yu took a step and continued to move forward. Pei Xiaoyuan hurriedly arched his hand to some officials who were smiling and looking at him on the other side, and then stopped staying, and left with the princess under the gaze of many people behind him.

Walking quickly to a corner in front of the palace road, suddenly a voice came from behind him: "The princess stays on the horse!" ”

The two stopped and turned around, and saw that Feng Zhenping had caught up, and when they got closer, they smiled and saluted, and after a warm greeting and congratulations on the wedding, they asked Pei Xiaoyuan about his injury.

"A few days ago, I was entangled in official business, and I had no time to estimate anything else, but it was not until yesterday that I heard the news that the horse had been stabbed on the bank of Weishui outside the city the day before the wedding. Extremely shocked, even more indignant! Who did this? Why do you have such a deep hatred for the colt! Before the pony and the princess get married! Do you not want to see the pony and the princess accomplish this good deed? ”

His voice was not small, and in the quiet of the palace, his voice traveled far away. Although Liu Ceye did not look back, his footsteps were slightly paused. There was a slight commotion in the ranks of the hundred officials, and many people turned their heads to look at Liu Ceye in front of them.

Feng Zhenping seemed to be unintentional, and after speaking, his face showed great concern, and continued: "After I learned about it, I wanted to visit the horse on the spot, but thinking about the appearance of the horse and the horse, it is expected that there is no big problem, and it will never make the sinister villain succeed, and he is newly married to the princess, and it is not appropriate to come to the door to disturb him, so I did not make the trip for the time being, and only discussed with King Kang, and I thought about visiting again in a few days." I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet in the palace this morning. But I wonder how the pony's injury is? ”

Many of the officials slowed down and listened attentively.

Pei Xiaoyuan said that the injury was no longer a big problem, Feng Zhenping shouted again, and cursed the malicious intentions of the people behind the scenes. Although he didn't mention the name of the person, but every word, it was clearly directed at the crown prince and Liu Ceye, and a group of ministers who were usually friendly with them were all angry, but it was not good to rush forward to refute it, and his face was extremely ugly. Wei Juren secretly hated, his face almost collapsed on the spot, and when he turned his head to look at it frequently, he suddenly noticed that Liu Ce in front of him had already walked forward with an expressionless face, hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and endured his hatred, so he could only follow with a group of people behind him and leave first.

Feng Zhenping was talking, but the wind in the corner of his eyes had been secretly glancing at the movements of Liu Ceye and the others, and when he saw that his group of people were stupid, he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, princess, they are so mad that we will never sit idly by." Today's court meeting will definitely not make them happy! ”

After he finished speaking diligently, he retreated, turned back and hurried to catch up with the team in front of him who was heading to the main hall.

Su Yu and Pei Xiaoyuan withdrew their gaze from Feng Zhenping's back, the two glanced at each other, and continued to walk out. Out of the palace gate, Yang Zaien summoned the carriage parked on one side, Pei Xiaoyuan sent her to board the car as usual, and was waiting for her to sit down and close the door, when she suddenly heard her say softly: "You come up too!" Ride with me. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned, and when she was still hesitating, her eyes fell on the two faint circles under her eyes that were shown due to lack of sleep last night. He no longer hesitated, and asked his entourage to lead the horse, and he got into the carriage as he said, and stooped in, and sat down beside her.

The doors are closed. The carriage, accompanied by the guards, went along the straight Chang'an Avenue towards the Yongning Mansion.

Although the morning drum has been set and the sky in the suburbs is white, the entire Chang'an City has not completely woken up from the tranquility of last night at this time. On both sides of the wide street, there were only a few merchants who had come out of the various squares and hurried to the two cities, and some passers-by who had only been able to return home at this moment last night for various reasons.

A blind old musician, holding a Fuxi qin with a headstock covered with traces of wear, came out of a humble alley wine shop that had just finished an all-night carnival last night and housed many frustrated people in Chang'an, and slowly walked on the morning light on Chang'an Avenue.

Or maybe last night's singing was not over, and from the old musician's throat, a few tunes flowed. Listen closely, he sings a cool western tune.

“…… I made a thousand wishes in front of the pillow, to rest and wait for the green mountains to rot. On the water, the scale hammer floats, until the Yellow River completely dries up ......"

"See you in the daytime, Beidou returns to the south...... Rest is not rest, and wait for the third watch to see the sun......"

This Western cool tune tells about the unchanging love of infatuated men and women in the world, which should have been made by the tactful voice of a young girl, so as to draw out the infinite love and pity of the Tan Langs. However, at this moment, through the old musician's hoarse voice, he was hoarse and simple, but there was a different kind of style.

Passers-by were in a hurry, and no one noticed. The old musician sang to himself as he walked forward. The intermittent singing echoed in the empty streets of Chang'an in the early morning.

Listen carefully. The song was gradually left behind by the carriage. Suddenly, she lifted the window curtains of the carriage and asked Yang Zaien to send some money to the old musician. Then, to the rhythm of the carriage's slight jolting, she closed her eyes and rested her head slightly on the shoulder of the man beside her.

A strong, strong arm reached over and gently wrapped her around her so that she could lean more comfortably against him.

In this way, in the silent embrace of the person beside him, Su Yu's two eyelids gradually sticked together, and he fell asleep, until he suddenly woke up because of the movement of the carriage stopped, opened his eyes, and knew that he had returned to Yongning House.

"Are you sleepy?"
